A few days before the Chinese New Year, Nan Ruoyin, accompanied by Xia Shengnan, went looking for properties in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon Tong and Tsim Sha Tsui.

Nan Ruoyin would come back and tell Nan Yi about anything she liked, but Nan Yi never expressed his opinion. He let the little girl decide everything and he was only responsible for paying.

The little girl asked Nan Yi to borrow someone, someone who knew the law.

Nan Yi introduced Qian Haohui to her and asked him to help Nan Ruoyin solve the legal problems.

While the little girl was not at home, Nan Yi moved a TV into his room and secretly watched a low-cost martial arts action movie starring Wang Huizhu.

It was Zhao Shixian who called him to buy this movie. After watching it for a few minutes, Nan Yi sneered at the exaggerated acting and the old-fashioned martial arts moves in it.

"Why don't you do the Eiffel Tower flipping over and over again? You just know how to push a useless cart. You could do a tiger and crane double formation."

After taking the videotape out of the VCR, Nan Yi stuffed it into the box with disdain, then threw it into a shoebox with extreme disdain and carefully stuffed it under the bed.

Close the door and leave the room.

"Zhiping, have you found that woman?"

"No reply yet. The people we are looking for have probably changed their names, are no longer in Xiangkeng, or have passed away."

"After the first month of the lunar year, put a missing person notice in the newspaper for half a month. If no one comes to recognize the person, forget it."

Nan Yi was asking about the daughter of the dead man in Shen Cun Bay. He had promised to give her wealth and glory, so he had to give her that. According to the current market conditions, giving her five million would mean a lifetime of worry-free life. It all depends on how the woman he has never met will use the money.

It has been a headache for Nan Yi since he couldn’t find it.

At least you have to try hard to find it. If you really can't find it, it's not Nan Yi's problem.

For several days in a row, the little girl went out early and came back late, and the money in Nan Yi's personal account also flowed out.

By the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the little girl had finally bought all twelve units, spending a total of more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

From Nan Yi's perspective, the future appreciation potential of four of the units is not as good as the others.

"Dad, I plan to convert the two apartments in Tin Hau into subdivided flats, as well as the two apartments in Tsim Sha Tsui. I plan to rent out the others directly."

"Well, it's up to you."

"I need to collect half a year's rent and then pay the mortgage."

"Mortgage? You are too young, the bank won't lend you money."

"It's okay. Uncle Qian said he would help me with the operation."

"Haha, if you stop paying the mortgage and the building is taken away, don't cry."

"No, I only own a 500-square-foot apartment, and the monthly rent is more than enough to pay off the mortgage."

Nan Yi asked in surprise: "Did you think of this on your own, or did someone teach you?"

"Uncle Qian said this. He said this is a low-risk and controllable operation. I am too young to be suitable for high-risk investment. Buying a house is the safest for me."

"Very good, you know how to listen to other people's advice. Dad gave you twelve units, and I won't give you any change for the next five years."

"Hey, it's okay. There's still a lot of rent left after paying the mortgage."

Nan Yi looked at Nan Ruoyin teasingly, "Are you sure you haven't forgotten that you still have a big expense?"

Nan Ruoyin nodded and said, "I haven't forgotten. Dad, can we discuss it?"

"What's there to discuss? Fifteen thousand is already very low. I won't lower the price any further."

"I won't lower your salary. I'll give you another hundred dollars a month, but you have to agree to pay me every five years. After five years, I'll pay you five years' salary in one lump sum."

"Okay." Nan Yi nodded, "But I also have a condition."

"Dad, what?"

"This idea is definitely not yours. You should try to figure out why this operation can give you an advantage."

"Any hints?"

"Yes, there are books on inflation and cash flow in the study. You can read them yourself or ask others for advice. I'll give you three months, and you have to explain them to me clearly by then."

"oh!"

"No, if you can't answer it in three months, I will dip my cloth shoes in lard and spread your butt open."

Nan Ruoyin's body trembled, and her hands subconsciously reached back, "Dad, you're so cruel."

"You spent millions of dollars from Dad and you want to take advantage of him. You have to give me an explanation, right?"

"Okay." Nan Ruoyin showed a bitter face.

Looking at Nan Ruoyin with a bitter face, Nan Yi was full of relief. The growing environment is really important. In his previous life, let alone at the age of seven, he had not awakened his business thinking at the age of seventeen. He just knew how to play all day long. However, his hormones have awakened and he knows to stare at beautiful girls.

It was not until the fifth day of the first lunar month that Nan Yi received a letter from Fang Mengyin from Mount Wutai. The letter said that she was very happy staying in the mountain and was learning qigong from a nun, and would not be back to celebrate the New Year.

That’s good. Nan Yi is not sure whether Taoist things are effective or not, but they shouldn’t be harmful.

In my previous life, the parents of a business partner lived in Mount Wutai all year round. I met them twice. They were in their seventies and had rosy faces.

Just practice qigong, not those random qigongs that were created by nobody.

The qigong out there is too profound. There is some that can be used to communicate with the universe, and some that can be used to protect rocket launches. This kind of qigong is not something that an ordinary person like Fang Mengyin can learn.

In the evening, Nan Yi took Nan Ruoyin to the cinema to watch "Shaolin Temple". After returning home, Nan Yi performed the trick of poking a brick through his fingers for the little girl.

As a result, after the little girl checked the bricks, she scolded Nan Yi for fooling a child.

Nan Yi had indeed fooled her. The bricks were genuine, but the holes were drilled by Nan Yi in advance and then filled with brick chips. Any human being could pierce through them even at the risk of hurting their fingers.

In order to coax the little girl, Nan Yi performed his real kung fu "Six Finger Zen" for her. He supported the ground with the thumbs, index fingers and middle fingers of both hands and stood upside down.

After standing for a few seconds, Nan Yi stopped. He couldn't hold on any longer.

With his feet on the ground, Nan Yi put his hands together and said, "My Buddhist name is Wubing, and people call me Master Yangdeng."

"Dad, is the Yangdeng Wizard really that powerful?"
"I don't know. Whether he is powerful or not, it won't affect our lives, and it has nothing to do with us."

"But I'm curious."

"Don't be curious. If you want to treat him as real, then he is real. If you want to treat him as fake, then he is fake. Everything depends on your heart. Ruoyin, not everything in this world has a correct answer. Many times, the so-called answer is nothing more than the result of weighing interests."

“It’s so complicated.”

"Haha, read more, think more, see more different worlds, and slowly you will understand."

"Dad, I'm hungry."

The little girl used the super diversion technique to change the topic.

"I'm heating up the leftovers from lunch."

Ever since Mrs. Chen came, Nan Yi seldom cooks. Mrs. Chen is on New Year holiday, and Nan Yi is too lazy to cook, so he just does what he can.

"Leftovers?" Nan Ruoyin had a bitter face again, "Dad, let's go out to eat."

"Okay, Dad will take you to Yung Kee."

…

An empty-nest teenager and a left-behind child finally managed to get through the Spring Festival.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Nan Yi went to Shencun to bring Fan Hongdou back. After signing an unequal treaty two meters thick, he was allowed to go on the business trip.

Nan Ruoyin also imposed a rule: Nan Yi must come back every half a month, or at most once a month.

"Huiwen, what ingredient do you think is better for our fast food restaurant? Beef or chicken?" Nan Yi, Liang Huiwen, and Cooper Garans, whom Liang Huiwen poached from McDonald's, were walking on the street in Causeway Bay and talking.

"Relatively speaking, chicken is better. The cost of chicken is lower, and we can also learn from KFC."

"I also prefer chicken. The cost of beef is too high. It's okay in the short term, but over a long period of time, our costs will be difficult to control." Nan Yi said, and then asked Cooper, "Cooper, what do you think?"

"Boss, when you run a fast food chain, do you value the real estate more or the fast food restaurant itself?"

"Let's go hand in hand, but relatively speaking, I value the appreciation of real estate more. In undeveloped virgin land, we can compete with McDonald's and KFC, but in the established market, I am not optimistic about ourselves."

"Yes, both McDonald's and KFC have been developing for decades, and many customers grew up eating their food. The emotional attachment that has accompanied them growing up cannot be eliminated by price wars," Cooper said.

Nan Yi nodded, "I understand, that's why I set my sights on emerging markets. My idea is simple, to set up the headquarters in New York, and then to open a flagship store in the most prosperous place in Times Square.

This store has to be maintained even if it is losing money all year round, and it has to ensure that there are customers every day. This is a business card we show to franchisees. This store is very important for whether we can successfully introduce franchisees.

This is different from McDonald's initial development path. When Kroc opened branches, he chose to buy land in relatively remote areas. This was determined by the unique national conditions of China, where the land is vast and the population is sparse.

Due to the exchange rate issue, a fast food meal that is very cheap in China cannot be considered cheap in Southeast Asian countries or Hong Kong, and can even be considered expensive.

Therefore, as we expand in Asia, we must open stores on the busiest streets.”

"Yes, boss, your analysis is correct. During the first half of your New Year, I analyzed the information of Xiangquan, and I think it is most appropriate to open a flagship store here in Causeway Bay."

"Yes, so, Cooper, the two most important things you need to do now are: find a suitable storefront in Times Square and buy it, and the same goes for Causeway Bay, find a suitable storefront and buy it."

"Nansheng, there is one more very important thing."

"What?"

"We haven't decided on a name for our fast food restaurant yet."

"Well, it gives me a headache just talking about this. I've thought of many names, but none of them satisfies me. What do you think of newwork fried chicken?"

"Boss, this is too similar to KFC. Although it does not constitute infringement, it will make our brand style always inferior to KFC."

"Haha, I think it's lame too. So, Cooper, when you get the store in Times Square done, put an announcement in the newspaper that we are offering $1 million to the public to come up with the name of our fast food brand."

"One million? Isn't this investment too big?"

"No, my budget is 1.5 million, 1 million is the bonus, and 500,000 is used to stir up this topic. Before our store opens, I want our brand to be known to everyone in China."

In fact, it is not necessary to spend so much money. As long as you have inspiration, it is not difficult to come up with a name. Especially when there are many examples, it is very easy to imitate and come up with a similar name.

If anyone doubts, Nan Yi can make up a sensational story in minutes to explain why he chose the "imitator".

“It’s a good idea, except for the cost.”

"Cooper, don't worry about the cost. I just want people to say that when they talk about our fast food restaurant, it is a fast food brand in China that is as famous as McDonald's and KFC."

"Ok, boss, I will get this done."

"Hmm! Huiwen, have all the certificates and authorization for holding shares of Ruoyin been prepared?"

“It’s already done.”

"Send it to my house tomorrow. I will go to the capital in a while."

"clear."

The three walked back and forth on the famous brand street and did not see a single vacant shop. Every store here was doing very good business and the rent was very high, with monthly rents ranging from 60 to 100 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. A 3,000-square-foot store would cost between 180,000 and 300,000 Hong Kong dollars per month.

At this time, this kind of rent can be considered astronomical.

Let me put it this way, if a certain lecherous action star could get paid 20,000 Hong Kong dollars for making a movie at this time, he would laugh his big nose off.

Any store here cannot be taken down without achieving a small goal of one-fifth.

After walking out of the famous brand street, Cooper left first, while Nan Yi and Liang Huiwen continued to walk slowly on the road.

"Try to contact Li Dezhong and see if he wants to sell it. If he does, ask him the price. If the price is right, I plan to buy it."

“What if the lion asks too much, or refuses to sell?”

"Haha, then you should pay attention to Li Dezhong's physical condition, and find out how many children his three wives have given birth to. Just because he doesn't want to sell them doesn't mean his sons won't. It is said that having more children means more blessings, but if you don't educate them well, having more children means more disasters."

"clear."
