Spring Thunder Chapter 0166: Muse's Kiss
The Matsutake business was proceeding in an orderly manner. Scarlett traveled back and forth between New York and Beijing twice, and Dabifan's business began to get on track.
Artworks from art shops were constantly loaded onto planes bound for New York. By the end of September, Dabifan had already spent $4 million on purchases.
Whether it is Shenzhen Guofa, art shops or art factories in various places, it is like the New Year. They have suddenly become the model for foreign exchange earning. How can they not be happy?
One Dabifan project was not enough reason for Nan Yi to stay in Beijing for three months. Just when Nan Yi wanted to go and run new business, he received a call from Cen Yangtai.
"Nan Yi, I just received instructions from my superiors. The big boss in the province has said that we should do what we are supposed to do. Do you understand what he said?"
"Uncle Cen, does this mean that our work has returned to normal?"
"Yes, it has recovered. Come back quickly and reconnect with the merchants you contacted as soon as possible. We will form a group and return to Shencun."
"Uncle Cen, I can't go back yet. I just received a message that Naiji plans to move their factories in South Korea and Taiwan to our country. I heard that they have decided to open factories in two cities, and the rest have not been decided yet."
"Naki? Production or something?"
"NIKE is a foreign brand that produces sports shoes, such as basketball shoes, football shoes , and clothes. It is a very famous brand. Uncle Cen, you may have seen it in Hong Kong. It is the English letter NIKE."
"This is it. I've seen it before. It's a big brand. What progress have you made?"
"Not yet. I heard that they have an office in Beijing, and I plan to visit it. If I meet someone here, Uncle Cen, you may have to come over immediately. I am too young, and they all go through the ministries. If I come to talk, they will definitely not pay attention to me."
"Okay, you first find out the situation clearly. If you need me to take action, call me immediately. I will be your strong support." Cen Yangtai first affirmed, and then changed the subject, "But, if it doesn't work, you should come back . Don't miss out on the watermelon and lose the sesame seeds."
"Yes, Uncle Cen, I'll do it as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi began to think about how to contact Nai Ji's people.
Just as he said on the phone, Naiji was in contact with the ministries, and if a small character like Nan Yi rashly went to their door, they might not necessarily pay attention to him.
I'll look for Scarlett later and see if she has any connection with Phil Knight.
Nan Yi rushed to the Friendship Hotel and talked about this matter with Scarlett.
"My father has some friendship with Mr. Phil, but your matter is too small, so it's not worth it for me to beg my father to speak up. Adam, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about this matter." After listening to Nan Yi's words, Scarlett spread her hands and said.
"I see."
Nan Yi's matter was indeed not a big deal, and there was no interest connection between him and Scarlett. She didn't need to use up a favor from her Taylor family for this matter.
"Can I borrow your Taylor family's sign?"
"No, at most I can lend you my name, Scarlett Taylor. Adam, you should focus more on our common business. You know how much return it can bring you, right?"
"What is your title, Miss Scarlett?"
"The CEO of Dabifan, you don't need to remind me, Mr. Chairman."
"I promise that I won't let other things interfere with our business, oh, our common business. As for other than that, can we give each other some private space?"
"Dell!" Scarlett walked behind Nan Yi and rubbed her nose against the back of his neck. "I'll be back in three days. I'll basically be staying in New York for the next year. Adam, will you fly over to see me?"
"I'll come visit you after Christmas and take care of some things."
"Hmm." Scarlett put her face on Nan Yi's back, "I would be happier if you didn't say the second half of the sentence."
"If I said I came all the way to see you, would you believe me?"
"I don't believe it, but I don't mind you lying."
"Haha, I'll pay attention next time."
Scarlett leaned on Nan Yi's back with her arms around his lower back, and the two of them stood there swaying from side to side.
The next day, Nan Yi, who was ready to get up early in the morning, was pulled by Scarlett to take two naps. When he was able to get up, it was almost noon.
Looking at Scarlett who was killed by him on the bed, Nan Yi shook his head and went to the bathroom to wash up, returned to the old villa to change his clothes, hailed a car and went to the negotiation building in Erligou next to the Western Suburbs Zoo.
The Negotiation Building was a very unfamiliar place to people in Beijing a year ago. Even now, few people know about this place except taxi drivers.
This is because the negotiation building used to be a confidential place. A very confidential unit had its office here, where they negotiated with large foreign companies and introduced advanced technologies.
This unit was called Zhongji, and most of the technology it introduced was chemical fiber technology. All of this was done to solve the clothing problem for 870 million people [in 1972], and to enable the people to progress from "tens of hardships" to "hundreds of hardships."
Today, China Technology is no longer a confidential unit, and the negotiation building has also unveiled its mysterious veil.
There is a counter in the negotiation building. There are many letters to different companies in the counter. Every day, staff from the offices of major foreign companies in Beijing come to check them.
If there is a letter for myself, I will open the counter and take out my letter.
The letter contained demands for various commodities and required the foreign company to provide a quotation. The foreign company's personnel would pass the information to the branch in Xiangkeng or Lijiaopo. After receiving the specific quotation and product catalogue from the branch, they would conduct negotiations in the negotiation building.
Nan Yi just came over to take a look at this magical counter and see which foreign companies have offices in Beijing now.
The negotiation building is a six-story gray building. It looks dull at first glance, but it reveals solemnity upon closer inspection.
After getting off the car, Nan Yi observed for a while, then walked to the door of the building and took a look inside. Seeing many foreigners with high noses, he retracted his gaze, stepped back a little further away from the gate, and waited at the intersection that must be passed by the gate.
After a while, a foreigner carrying a briefcase came towards Nan Yi.
Nan Yi saw him and quickly determined the foreigner's nationality based on a few racial characteristics. After he had a rough idea in mind, he went up to him and greeted him in German, "Hello, sir."
"Hello." The foreigner was surprised for a moment and replied in German.
"I'm Nan from Shenguofa, may I ask who you are?"
"Siemens, Bei Yinsi."
When he heard it was Siemens, Nan Yi immediately lost interest. The possibility of getting Siemens to invest in Shenzhen was very slim.
"Hello, hello, Shenzhen has many preferential policies for foreign investment..."
Let’s give it a try first before we talk about it. blah blah blah, Nan Yi explained Shenzhen’s investment promotion policy again.
While speaking, Nan Yi also observed Bei Yinsi's expression. Obviously, he had no interest in what Nan Yi said, but out of politeness, he did not just walk away.
"This is my business card. If you want to go to Shencun for research and visit, you can contact me."
"Okay, I'll contact you if I need anything." Bei Yinsi took Nan Yi's business card, glanced at it, put it in his pocket, and then said politely: "Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"goodbye."
After Bei Yinsi left, Nan Yi continued to stand there, waiting for his next target.
It’s a pity that he didn’t have a good start. In the next three hours, he encountered heavy industry companies, such as ABB, General Electric, Mitsubishi, and Johnson Controls.
These companies are not suitable for Shencun. They are too big and a small character like Nan Yi cannot control them at all.
After staying at the door of the negotiation building until 3:30, he didn't see the foreigner coming out. Nan Yi lost the first battle and could only make a major strategic shift in disgrace.
After leaving the negotiation building, Nan Yi went to the Friendship Hotel.
"Have you had lunch yet?"
Knocking on Scarlett's door, Nan Yi saw that Scarlett was still wearing pajamas.
"No, I had a cup of coffee and some cookies. My replacement will be here tomorrow, and I've been writing the handover report today."
"Well, go wash up and change your clothes, and I'll take you to dinner."
"Where are you going?"
"Last year, a Jiale Chinese and Western restaurant opened at the west entrance of Ganmian Hutong on Dongsi South Street. The chef used to be the chef of the club. I heard that the business is good and many people go there every day." Nan Yi walked to the combination cabinet and took a can of Coke from the refrigerator.
"I've heard of it, but I've never been there. You never dared to go out with me before. You always just ordered room service, which forced me to accept the stimulation of having an affair. Why did you think of inviting me out for dinner today?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Nan Yi took a sip of Coke and said with a smile.
"The truth."
"I got off to a bad start this afternoon. I chose the wrong place."
"So, you want to do your work during dinner time?" Scarlett asked dissatisfiedly.
"No, the main thing is to have dinner with you, and work is just a side job."
"Adam, you are such a boring man."
Scarlett spat, but turned and walked towards the bathroom.
After a while, in less than an hour, Scarlett was standing in front of Nan Yi in a pink dress and turned around. "Adam, how is it?"
"Perfect, ordinary women can't handle this color at all."
Nan Yi looked her up and down. Scarlett was wearing a dark pink dress, which concealed her capable look and replaced it with sweetness.
Dark pink is a color that is difficult for women to control. Most women will look tacky when wearing clothes of this color.
"Of course, I'm not an ordinary woman." Scarlett said proudly, and then asked: "Do you want to wash up? I forgot to tell you yesterday that I bought you some clothes when I went back to New York last time."
Nan Yi raised his hand and smelled his armpit. After staying in the scorching sun for several hours and then staying in the air-conditioned room for a while, the sweat on his body had been dried up and he had a slight sweat smell.
"Okay, I'm going to take a shower."
When Nan Yi came out of the shower, Scarlett had already put her clothes on the bed.
"Are you sure you didn't mean it?" Nan Yi picked up the T-shirt on the bed and pointed at the English words "Qianguo Meng" on it.
"Isn't it good?" Scarlett covered her mouth and laughed.
"It's very bad, change it."
Nan Yi crumpled up the T-shirt and threw it into the trash can nearby.
"All right."
Scarlett shrugged her shoulders and walked to the closet to get another set of clothes for Nan Yi. This time it was a formal short-sleeved shirt and thin trousers.
Nan Yi took the clothes and smelled them. There was a smell of laundry detergent on them.
"No need to smell it, it's already been washed. I washed it myself."
“Isn’t it washed in the washing machine?”
"Well, I put it in the washing machine myself." Scarlett said, walking to Nan Yi's side, helping him to straighten his collar and trouser hem, and then touching Nan Yi's chest and waist, "You have a great figure. When you put on the clothes, your muscles don't show at all."
"This is called looking thin when dressed and showing off your body when undressed. Just be happy about it."
"uh-huh!"
Scarlett's eyes rolled, and she kissed the pocket of her short-sleeved shirt mischievously, "This is the cursed kiss of the Muse. If you betray me, the three-headed dog will crawl out of hell and bite you to death."
"Are you sure it's not a Judas kiss?"
"Don't talk about that. I hate that art student who failed the exam. I hate that bug. I hate that inhuman scum." Scarlett said with disgust.
"Okay, I take it back, we should get going."
"uh-huh."
As soon as they walked out of the room, Scarlett put her arm around Nan Yi's arm, but as soon as they got out of the elevator, she let go of it naturally, unknowingly taking Nan Yi's concerns into consideration.
…
Dongsi South Street, in front of .
When Nan Yi and Scarlett arrived, there were already quite a few cars parked at the door, and there were many foreigners sitting or standing in and beside the cars. It seemed that business was very good, and there was even a queue.
"Wait here. I'll go hand out some business cards."
