Spring Thunder Chapter 0149 Cage and Bird
After talking with Liang Huiwen, Liang Huiwen continued to work as Qian Haohui's assistant. She had to wait until Qian Haohui found a new assistant before she could come and follow Nan Yi.
In mid-December, Fang Mengyin bought a four-story factory building with an actual usable area of 80,000 square feet. The price was very affordable, only 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
This price is really cheap compared to the housing price of HK$760 per square foot in Luang Island.
But this relatively affordable expense almost made Nan Yi vomit blood.
This year, all the expenses here and there added up to 15 million Hong Kong dollars. With the 20 million more, Nan Yi always felt that he had lost half of his ability as an inspector.
He was full of urgency when it came to making money.
But no matter how urgent the situation is, there is no other way. The factory building needs to be renovated and staff needs to be recruited.
But now is not a good time to recruit people. There are only a few days left in December, and 1980 will soon be over. It is the end of the year. If we post a job notice now, the probability that the applicants are unreliable is too high.
At the end of the year, you still have to look for a job. Either you have been looking for a job for a long time, or you have been kicked out by other companies.
Even if they are not fired but resign on their own, those who resign at the end of the year and are in a hurry to interview for a new job usually have several problems:
If you don't save money on a regular basis, you can't expect a break in your income; if you are wronged in your previous company, you will not tolerate it for a moment; if you don't have a plan, you should work until the end of the year and receive the year-end bonus that the company may give you if you want to resign.
Recruiting people at the end of the year is almost like looking for gold in a trash can. The cost is too high and the rate of return is too low. Nan Yi will not do such a thing.
Therefore, no matter how urgent he is, he will wait until the beginning of next year to recruit.
Nan Yi spent the rest of 1980 working and supervising.
On January 28, 1979, the first television commercial appeared in mainland China, and on January 8, 1981, the first marriage advertisement was published in a newspaper.
This advertisement has sparked countless discussions and has also attracted inquiries from many newspapers and magazines. Through this advertisement, a new door has been opened for them, and the mainland's advertising industry is about to usher in vigorous development.
On the 9th, after reading the newspapers sent from the mainland, Nan Yi asked Qian Haohui to go to Lijiaopo to register two companies, Beautiful Childhood and Nanguang Paper.
He called Rachel Parsons in the United States and asked her to go to Montana to look for a ranch close to the mountains that didn't need to be too large.
Then, Nan Yi fell into silence again, and there were no new business moves.
In the morning, Nan Yi would get up early and wake up Nan Ruoyin as well, and do physical training with the newly formed bodyguard team Saigon Rose.
Saigon Rose, this name has a strong regional reference. Obviously, this is a team composed of Chinese from Dongnan recruited by Nguyen Chi Binh from the refugee camp.
There were fifteen people in total, nine men and six women.
In order to accommodate these people, Nan Yi bought both villas 2045 and 2047.
Although the negotiations on Xiangkeng have not yet begun, the ducks in the water can always smell the scent first. The middle class is ready to move, and many people are already going through the immigration procedures.
It was also because of this that Nan Yi only increased the price by 5% and bought the two neighboring villas.
People who live nearby and get up early to exercise can see the following scene on South Bay Road every day recently: two people running in a vertical column at a constant speed in front, followed by a group of one big and one small, who are suspected to be father and daughter.
Every time, the daughter would be sweating and her legs would be sore, but she would still insist on following the pace of the person in front of her; the father would follow beside her to cheer her up and sometimes even curse at her.
This strange team has appeared every day since its first appearance, rain or shine.
But as time went by, half of the team disappeared.
The missing personnel went to a ranch in Montana and converted it into a training base, where they conducted three months of shooting and tactical training.
Come back three months later and another group of people will go there.
Taking advantage of the situation, Nan Yi changed the structure of Saigon Rose into a squadron, and the current personnel are divided into two tactical teams - Team A and Team B, codenamed "Sissy" and "Mama-san" respectively.
In Nan Yi's plan, the Intelligence and Planning Committee established a defense group, which is composed of two subgroups: the legitimate defense group and the advance defense group.
The self-defense group has ten squadrons under its jurisdiction, each squadron has 20 teams, each team has 5-7 people, and its main function is to provide protection for VIPs and property preservation.
The advance defense team is composed of three squadrons, and every member of the team must be the elite among the elites. Their main function is to persuade the forces that are hostile to the Nan family and Nan Yi personally in a peaceful and friendly manner, so that they will wake up and cry bitterly for their own rudeness.
With these two groups, and in a few years he can get a few "suitcases" of clothes from the Soviet revisionists, Nan Yi will be able to expand internationally with peace of mind and body, without having to worry about bad boys throwing dirty water on him.
By mid-January, I brought back another group of potential customers from Cenyangtai in Shenzhen.
As soon as he came back, he called Nan Yi to his office.
"Xiao Nan, put aside the work at hand and build good relationships with those clients first. Don't mention the investment in Shencun to them for the time being."
"Leader, what's wrong?"
"The situation is not right. Many large-scale multinational cooperation projects in Beijing have been suspended. The chairman has said that we should stay dormant for a while. If possible, you'd better not go back for the New Year this year. Once you go back, you may not be able to come back."
"Leader, is this so serious?"
"It's very serious." Cen Yangtai nodded and said, "It's just right. You've been running around outside and you're tired. Take a break. For the next two months, I'll allow you not to come to work every day. Just keep the clients you have."
"yes."
Nan Yi walked out of Cen Yangtai's office and sat back at his workstation, muttering, "Cage and bird."
An enterprise is like a bird. Its wings cannot be tied all the time. It must be allowed to fly freely. However, the state-owned economic system is a big cage. No matter how much the bird flies, it should not fly out of the cage.
Nan Yi, who always paid close attention to the situation in the mainland and read mainland newspapers, saw news about the intensified crackdown on speculation and profiteering in the newspaper after a few days.
We also saw that in order to limit competition with large and medium-sized advanced enterprises for raw materials, the regulations exempted the enterprises of the commune and brigade from industrial and commercial taxes and industrial and commercial income taxes for two to three years in the early stage of their establishment, and changed them to differentiated treatment according to different situations...
All collective and team enterprises that compete with large advanced enterprises for raw materials and have higher profits, whether new or existing, shall be subject to industrial and commercial income tax in accordance with regulations.
When it comes to competing with so-called advanced enterprises for raw materials, Wenchangwei Garment Factory is an active player among them.
Business is good, but it is not enough to just rely on picking up some non-planned fabrics from textile factories. Wenchangwei has always been relying on planned fabrics, fabrics from some depressed state-owned garment factories.
As soon as the news came out, the directors of several state-owned garment factories went to their leaders to complain that their performance had been greatly affected because the Wenchangwei Garment Factory had competed with them for fabric.
Wenchangwei Garment Factory became a bird outside a cage, restricted in all aspects.
Near the end of the month, Xian Yaodong came to Xiangkeng in the name of visiting relatives.
"Nan Yi, what do you think we should do?" Xian Yaodong asked anxiously as soon as he sat down.
Nan Yi slowly handed Xian Yaodong a cigarette and lit it for him, "Have you sent out all the clothes before the New Year?"
"We have distributed them. The roads are not safe right now and the roads are far away in some places. We have started distributing them since November. Life is better now and many families will buy new clothes for the New Year. How can we not attach importance to it? "
"Well, what do the textile mills say?"
"We will still supply Wenchangwei, but the quantity will be reduced by one third. This amount of fabric is not enough for the first quarter of this year. If we can't find new fabric, the factory will have to stop production. Nan Yi, do you want me to look for a few more textile factories in the north?"
"Forget it. The north is more conservative and it is even more impossible for them to give you fabric." Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "Control the shipment volume. Ship it out throughout the year and don't sell it all at once.
After you go back, get a passport for Xiuyun and let her come to Xiangkeng after the first month of the lunar year.
Since it didn't work internally, we looked for solutions externally. In one month, we built the structure of Wenchang Investment Holding Company. It was no longer a shell company, but an open business.
Wenchang Investment takes orders from abroad and then hands them over to Wenchangwei Garment Factory for production. In this way, it can apply for a stable supply of fabric in the name of earning foreign exchange.
Xiuyun will be incorporated into the Wenchang Investment Holding System. I will take out 0.5% of my shares and add 0.5% of your shares to give her 1% of the shares temporarily.
She is the future head of the garment factory that I am optimistic about. Let her get some training outside and see the outside world.”
"Okay, I'll tell everyone about the shares when I get back."
“Tell everyone, don’t think that the food in your bowl has become less. Only by expanding Wenchang Investment and Control can everyone get more food. Only by uniting more people can we make our plate bigger.
People like Xiuyun and Hailan are all talented people in Wenchangwei, and they should be treated as they deserve. "
"Speaking of Hailan, how is she now? Where did you arrange her?"
"Kowloon Tong, I arranged for her to study in a middle school there and found an old nanny to take care of her. I went to see her a few days ago and she looked in good spirits. The holidays are coming soon, and I will have someone send her back when the holidays come."
"That's good. I can give Yaorong an explanation now."
"In order to make it easier for villagers to use the telephone, we installed a few more phones and built a small house next to the threshing ground to serve as a telephone room. We assigned someone to be there and make a broadcast to notify people to answer the phone when there was a call."
"Okay, I'll let Yaohua make the arrangements when I get back. He's basically in charge of everything in the village right now. I'm mostly concerned about the village's business and helping people doing business outside solve some problems."
“I’m not going back this year. Tell those doing business outside not to worry about things they shouldn’t worry about. Even though others make a lot of money and make it fast, they will die soon when the board comes down.
The saying that the brave will die of overeating and the timid will die of starvation does not apply to Wenchangwei.
You have to tell everyone, and it's up to them whether to listen or not. If they don't listen, don't cry and ask the village committee for help when you get hurt. "
"I really need to reiterate this. Now some people have seen the world and become bolder. Some of them have gone to Jinling to sell steel. If there is just a pile of steel left there, the price can go up by more than ten times if it is sold back and forth."
"Oh, the fattest dishes were all eaten by the officials. If you eat the rest well, you can get some fat. If you don't eat them well, it will be a waste of money."
When it comes to reselling materials, except for the first two who have resources and can get the tickets, who are sure to make money, the others who take over the later ones are facing great risks.
If the wind gets tight, you may lose all your money at any time.
"Yes, that's what I told them, but some people just don't believe me. They even gossip about me behind my back, saying that I just stay in the village and don't know shit."
"Haha, if they don't listen, just let them be. The Xie family's precious tree has yellow leaves occasionally; the handsome horse has small flaws. There is no way to stop those who are seeking death."
