Spring Thunder Chapter 0169: Color TV ends, fishing boats go out to sea
"By the way, Dewen, where is the newspaper?"
"Boss, there are too many newspapers. Your study can't hold them all. Put them in 2047."
“Oh, then help me move the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post here first.”
"OK."
After not being here for a few months, a lot of newspapers had piled up. In the following few days, Nan Yi did not rush to Shenzhen Guofa to cancel his leave, but hid in his study to read newspapers.
After reading the last issue of "Guangdong Provincial Daily", Nan Yi tidied up the newspaper and put it aside. He raised his hand to check the time and found that it was still early, so he picked up the "diary" to make up for the days he had missed.
After he finished his diary, he looked at the time again, picked up the phone on the table and dialed.
"Hello, sir. Could you please call Xu Feiyang for me... Yes, the young man from Shandong Province who was just transferred there. Okay, thank you, sir."
After waiting for a moment, a shout came from the microphone.
"Pancakes, me."
"Patch, what do you want from me? I'm still sitting in the pot."
"Working in Guangzhou, you still have to cook for yourself. What can't you eat on the street?"
"Nonsense, I eat noodles. It's okay to eat out occasionally, but my stomach can't stand it if I eat it often. Okay, tell me what you want to say. If my noodles are burnt, I will never forgive you."
"Then I'll tell you straight away. I saw a notice in the newspaper that Guangdong Province and Hu Jian will soon be allowed to import goods. Do you know when it will be implemented and which goods will be allowed to be released?"
“I don’t know the exact date, but I know which products will be released.”
"Wait a minute, I'll take notes." Nan Yi took a notebook and a pen from the side, "You go ahead."
"Cars, televisions, refrigerators..."
Xu Feiyang proudly listed 17 kinds of commodities in one breath, and Nan Yi wrote them down one by one.
"Okay, I get it, you can go now."
"Fuck, use people facing forward instead of backward, asshole."
"Stop scolding me. I owe you a big meal."
"That's better." Xu Feiyang muttered and hung up the phone.
After Nan Yi hung up the phone, he circled the three words "TV" and calculated in his mind that the terminal price of imported products would be similar to that of parallel imported products, so it seemed that there would be no significant impact.
However, once imports are liberalized, who will come in to eat this piece of cake? Nan Yi can guess with his belly button that this game has become boring.
"Hey, Fang Kong, 8pm, Black Point Lighthouse."
At 7:30 in the evening, Nan Yi had already set up his fishing rod on the beach of Heijiaotou.
This time, Nan Yi was more fully prepared. He not only brought an alcohol stove for making tea, but also a tape recorder.
The Cantonese opera "Fen Feiyan" was playing on the tape recorder. A glass pot was sitting on the alcohol stove, and the spring water from Da Mao Mountain was boiling in the pot. Nan Yi was holding a teacup in his hand, and a few wisps of white smoke were weaving in the light of the flashlight.
When Nan Yi drank two cups of tea, he heard a voice of "Nan Sheng" in his ears.
Nan Yi glanced at his watch and the minute hand had not yet returned to zero.
“How much did you sell?”
"Thirty-two thousand."
“How much inventory is left?”
"One thousand seven."
"How many are at sea?"
"Five thousand."
"Yes." Nan Yi nodded and said, "The ones floating on the sea will continue, and no more goods will be purchased. Contact Lan Guidong and ask him to take the inventory away as soon as possible. Start counting the accounts, and close the accounts after counting. Someone will hand over the accounts to you."
"Nansheng, are we going to stop?"
"Yes, it has stopped. The profits from the 5,000 units still floating on the sea are half yours."
Fang Kong was not happy about Nan Yi's words, but felt a little disappointed. "Nan Sheng, what should I do next?"
“Fang Kong, who are you?”
"The Tanka people."
"Then go back to the sea and do the work of your ancestors. Take half of the profits from the color TV and go to Saigon Pier to set up a fishing company, buy fishing boats and set up a fishing team to engage in the fishing industry. It's up to you whether you want to invest or not."
"Become the fishing boss of Xiangkeng?"
"No, I will start from Xiangkeng and become the world's fishing boss. My goal is to let two billion people eat the fish we catch."
Fang Kong's eyes lit up, and his eyeballs turned into squares. "Nansheng, I only want 500 units, and I'll invest the rest."
"I have something to say first."
"Nansheng, go ahead and talk."
"If I let you manage the fishery company, you will have to put your life and property on the line. If anything goes wrong, you will have to bear the consequences. If I have to pay compensation, I will start with your own money. If you fail to manage the company well, I will throw you into the sea to feed the sharks.
Of course, when distributing dividends, I will give you 1.5 times of your investment amount, and your amount will increase year by year.
If you do it well, you are the boss of the global fishing industry; if you do it badly, you are shark shit.
I'll give you half an hour to make your decision."
Nan Yi took a sip from the teacup, put it down, and clapped his left hand on his thigh to the rhythm, humming, "We are separated by thousands of miles and thousands of mountains. My tears are like pearls that are about to fall, but I try to hold them back and condense them in my eyes. I want to express my endless love for you..."
Fang Kong stood aside, feeling torn between an inner and outer struggle.
Ring ring ring.
The bell rang, Nan Yi lifted up the fishing rod and wound the coil.
As the fishing line tightened, the fishing rod bent into a crescent shape, and Nan Yi's hands became more and more strained.
"Haha, it's a big one."
Nan Yi reeled in and released the fishing line, reeling in and releasing it again, slowly sliding the big fish in the sea.
Fang Kong's eyes also followed the silver-white fishing line, as if the fishing line was not tied to the fish, but to his heart.
Lift and put!
Whoosh, whoosh, Nan Yi reeled the line quickly. The fish had been dragged so hard that it had no strength left. As he dragged the line, a grouper emerged from the sea surface.
"Boss, it's bigger than the last one."
"You're in for a treat, this time I'm going to make eighteen dishes out of one fish." Nan Yi was beaming with joy as he looked at the huge fish that weighed more than forty pounds.
"Nansheng, I've made up my mind. If I can't do it well, I will jump into the sea myself." Fang Kong said firmly.
"Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought it through!"
"Go ahead. Your journey is to the sea of stars."
October 5th, the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, is a good day for making alliances, offering sacrifices, and praying for blessings.
In the early morning, Nan Yi and Fang Kong signed a share contract, with Fang Kong holding 1.2% and an unknown offshore company holding 98.8%.
After signing the contract, the two went to the Mazu Temple again.
In the vast ocean, there is only a small boat. Many times, even if you believe in science, science cannot help you. Everything depends on whether the Dragon King of the Sea will accept you.
Therefore, fishermen are more or less superstitious.
After burning incense and adding 188,888 in incense money, Fang Kong resolutely headed west.
…
Clearwater Bay, or that golf course.
Nan Yi hit an eagle shot, threw the club to the caddie, and walked onto the green first.
Rangui Dong followed closely behind.
"Brother Dong, read the newspaper."
Nan Yi handed a copy of the Guangdong Provincial Daily to Lan Guidong.
Lan Guidong glanced at the newspaper and said, "I heard about this news, but it didn't affect my business."
"Yesterday I went to Wong Tai Sin and drew a fortune stick. I prayed for academic success and it turned out to be a very good fortune stick. So I plan to study hard in the next two years and get more certificates. If I don't have food to eat in the future, it will be easier to find a job with the certificates."
"Hahaha, Nansheng, are you kidding? You still don't have food?"
"Haha, that's just what I said, but I am serious about further study. So, I am going to stop the electrical appliance business."
"Just because of this?" Lang Guidong shook the newspaper in his hand.
"Part of it."
Langui Dong narrowed his eyes, paused and said: "What if I say I want to take over?"
"Brother Dong, we are one of our own. I will tell you the truth. It is very risky for you to take over. You may lose money."
"I know that there is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business, so I decided to take the risk."
"Don't you want to think about it?"
"Oh, forget it, Nansheng, just tell me whether you want to sell it or not?"
"Okay." Nan Yi sighed and said, "Since you have made up your mind, Brother Dong, I won't say much. Let me settle the bill with you. There are still 5,000 units at sea, which have already been paid for. I will still give it to you at 2,700 yuan, which is 13.5 million.
I won't ask Brother Dong for more than the company and agency rights. You can just give me another 4.5 million, a total of 18 million. What do you think?"
"What if I pay you all in gold?"
"Today's opening price of gold in London is only 449.3 US dollars. Brother Dong, are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Cut off 1 million."
"One and a half million."
"Deal." Nan Yi finally gave a kind reminder: "Brother Dong, the risks are really getting bigger and bigger, remember to quit while you are ahead."
"I know!"
Lan Guidong was still a little impatient, but Nan Yi knew when to shut up.
After the deal was settled, Lan Guidong was not in the mood to play golf. He played a few more rounds with Nan Yi and then left.
Nan Yi has come to an end to another not-so-successful business. He spent just the right amount of effort but made less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which was a bit of a failure.
From now on, small-scale operations will be left to Wenchangwei, and Nan Yi will no longer personally participate in business below eight figures, yes, I'm talking about US dollars.
After completing the last transaction with Lan Guidong, Nan Yi asked Qian Haohui to take care of the aftermath to ensure that he would not be implicated if Lan Guidong went bankrupt.
Haha, the possibility of the bad ghost turning east is not high. Isn't the short mule best at opening an incense hall to draw life and death lots? If something goes wrong, let the little one go out to take the blame. Even if it's the worst, running away is also their best life-saving skill.
Of course, the end of the matter refers to the word of mouth level.
From a legal perspective, the electrical appliance store has always been doing legal business, so Nan Yi doesn't have to worry at all.
Before going to the office of Shenzhen Guofa, Nan Yi came to Chai Wan again. After communicating with the two factory owners , Nan Yi leaned on the steel pipe railing on the side of the road with a glass of iced lemon in his hand.
A group of seabirds flew by, and a few feathers fell down. One of them floated to the side of Nan Yi.
He raised his hand and grabbed the feather. After taking a look at it, Nan Yi put the feather into his pocket and touched the pocket with his hand, as if he was afraid that it would fall into nothingness.
"Nan Yi, you're back?"
As soon as Nan Yi returned to the downstairs of Shenzhen Guofa’s office, he met Mai Wen who was also waiting for the elevator.
"Yeah, you just came back from outside?"
Mai Wen showed the receipt in her hand and said, "Go buy this."
"Oh, are the two newcomers getting along well?"
"Your message is delayed by three times, not two."
"Three. What's the other one?"
Mai Wen curled her lips and said, "Cashier."
"It's just a 20,000 yuan bill, are you afraid you'll run away with it?"
"Haha, when they first came, they said they wanted to save money and have as few staff as possible, and now they're talking about organizational procedures," Mai Wen said jealously.
"It turns out that it is not reasonable for you to be both the finance and cashier at the same time. Are you the finance or cashier now?"
"finance."
"What's the new guy's name?"
"The cashier is Cai Jihong, from Baoan. The sales manager is Wang Jianshe, who is not easy to deal with. You have to be careful. There is also a salesperson named Zhao Heng, who looks like a nerd and dull."
"Why is it so difficult to deal with?"
"Let me tell you, Wang Jianshe is young, but he is very arrogant. He made a deal right after he arrived, and the company earned over 600,000 yuan. He is a bit arrogant."
"One order? How long has he been here?"
"He came just after you left."
"So he's still hanging out now?"
"Haha, now he doesn't dare to skip the show. Let me tell you, he was still talking about you in a roundabout way at first, but then Manager Cen told him about the foreign trade order you negotiated, and I think he got a little deflated. By the way, Nan Yi, how much did your company earn from that order?"
"Two million dollars."
"Wow, so much?" Mai Wen exclaimed, "Then your commission must be huge. Let me calculate... Wow, more than 10,000."
"Haha, just listen to the noise. Even if the higher-ups approve such a high commission, I wouldn't dare take it."
"That's right." Mai Wen said dimly.
The two were talking and hadn't pressed the elevator button. Just then the elevator came down, so they stopped talking and walked into the elevator.
After getting out of the elevator, Mai Wen opened the office door. Nan Yi followed behind and quickly took a look around the office. According to what Mai Wen had just said, he matched the people with the names.
Without commenting on Wang Jianshe's appearance, what impressed Nan Yi the most was the mole on his mouth that was right opposite the edge of his upper lip and nose.
According to the physiognomy book, people with moles on the mouth tend to sow discord and be talkative.
Although Nan Yi didn't believe this, he was more cautious towards Wang Jianshe because he had met such a person before and he was indeed difficult to deal with.
Zhao Heng, as Mai Wen said, looked like a nerd and was very dull. Such a person was not suitable for doing business or socializing at all; even if his face was very deceptive and he was actually two-faced, it would not work.
When doing business, appearance is still very important. Not to mention whether you are beautiful or ugly, but at least you have to look smart and energetic. In this way , customers will be more willing to communicate with you.
Following Mai Wen into the office, Nan Yi immediately put on a smile and walked towards Wang Jianshe.
"Hello, Chief Wang, hello, I'm Xiaonan..."
