Spring Thunder Chapter 0220 All Falling
Nan Yi naturally would not satisfy Park Dashan's idea of being a matchmaker.
In fact, after returning to the deer farm, Nan Yi just followed and looked at what work Yu Hui was responsible for. His contact with Yu Hui was based on seeking talents and ended with courtesy, which would not make people have bad associations.
After staying at the deer farm until lunchtime, Nan Yi said goodbye to Yu Hui. Then, he went to Park Dashan's house to have lunch and said goodbye to him again.
As the train traveled along, Nan Yi took off his thick clothes all the way. When he arrived in Beijing, he was only wearing a cotton sweater, a thin cashmere top, and a 1959 summer flying jacket [the Air Force summer flying suit finalized in 1959] produced by Factory 3512.
I went to check on my grandmother's courtyard and found that all the things that were moved from the old house were gone. Liu Zhen had already moved back to the old house.
After some hard work, they went to the old villa. The roof had been completed, but they were no longer there. Nan Yi thought that Liu Zhen should have paid the balance.
After entering the living room, Nan Yi found a telephone on the long table. He walked over and tried it, and the call was connected.
The phone was black, which made Nan Yi a little disappointed. It would have been better if it was red. He picked up the receiver and started talking nonsense: "It's me, Nan Zhan Shen, I'm back. What? My daughter actually lives in a doghouse? Wow, you actually dare to bully me, the chief coach of the 80 trillion universe army..."
“Hehehehe!”
Nan Yi laughed foolishly, shook his head, went upstairs to check the roof, and found that it was done well and there was no problem anywhere.
He went to the bathroom and saw that the electric water heater he had dismantled had not been installed again. The electric water heater was the only thing that caught the eye in the entire old house. It had been dismantled by Nan Yi before they came over.
I went to Lai Biao's room and moved the water heater out. I found the wrench and put it back. I also cleaned the inner tank and plugged it in.
Then, he cleaned the entire house inside and out and went out to the market to buy vegetables and cook. By the time he finished cooking, the day was almost over.
Nan Yi had just put the food on the table when Liu Zhen came back. As soon as she came back, she talked about the phone call, "Nan Yi, did you see the phone?"
"I saw it. Was it installed by the company?"
"Yes, it's a uniform in the unit and everyone who has a high enough rank has it." Liu Zhen nodded.
"Does your company reimburse your phone bills?"
"What a wonderful thing to think about. I just need a fixed monthly phone allowance."
"What's the number?"
"26822."
"Not a bad number."
"Now that you have a phone, you can call from home when you have something to do. This is much more convenient."
"That's great. I didn't expect that I would have to rely on you to install a phone. Come on, eat more. You are the hero." Nan Yi picked up the belly of the fish and put the freshest and tenderest fish meat into Liu Zhen's bowl.
“Hehe.”
Liu Zhen's mouth curled up, and a happy smile appeared on her face. This happiness was not because of Nan Yi's thoughtfulness, but because she could give Nan Yi a little help.
After dinner, Nan Yi and Liu Zhen went out for a walk again. Just when they walked halfway down the street, they saw a man standing on the side of the road selling umbrellas. There was no stall, but twenty or thirty umbrellas were put in a basket on the ground.
"Nan Yi, let's go take a look. This umbrella is quite beautiful."
"Um."
The two walked to the side of the vendor. Liu Zhen lowered his head and rummaged through the backpack. He quickly took out an umbrella, opened it, pointed at the umbrella and said, "Nan Yi, do you know who is on top?"
"Fansry Dark, that's strange, not many people in China know about it, which factory made this umbrella?"
As Nan Yi spoke, he started looking for the mark on the umbrella. He soon found it and picked it up to take a look. It said "Produced by Shanghai Factory 3725".
Nan Yi had never heard of this factory and had no impression of it at all.
In fact, there are so many factories named after numbers across the country, but he only knows a few of them.
"Boss, where did you wholesale this umbrella from?"
"Shencun, do you want to buy it or not?" the vendor said unhappily.
"That depends on the price. How much is this one?" Nan Yi pointed at the umbrella in Liu Zhen's hand.
"Twelve."
"It's so expensive. I can buy it at the department store for only eight or nine dollars. A better one than yours only costs nine dollars and forty dollars."
"How can they be the same? This umbrella is from Xiangxiang, imported, you know. The one you bought from the department store is black, but this one, don't you see the cartoon duck on it?"
"Boss, I'll teach you something, give me 9 dollars for your umbrella."
"Teach me what?"
"Let me teach you how to recognize the duck above. There is something special about this duck. If you know this, your umbrella will definitely sell better." Nan Yi pointed to the umbrella again.
"9.5 yuan," said the vendor.
"9.2."
"9.3."
"make a deal."
"Tell me, what's so strange about it?"
"This duck is called Vansrey, a Disney character. He has a cousin named Donald, also called Donald Duck, who is very famous abroad. Disney is a big company that makes cartoons and movies.
The films we watched, such as "Galinson's Gorillas", "The Man from Atlantis", and "The Convoy" from a long time ago, were all produced by Disney. "
Nan Yi said as he took out the money and handed it to the vendor. After he gave the change, he continued, "By the way, remember to cut off the mark on it, otherwise it will be hard to fool people."
After saying that, Nan Yi took Liu Zhen and left.
"Nan Yi, why did you lie to him?" Liu Zhen said after they walked away for a distance.
"This is not called cheating. I'm just telling him how to sell." Nan Yi opened the umbrella, took another look, and then put it away.
“Is there anything strange about this umbrella?”
"The umbrella seller didn't lie to us. This umbrella is indeed imported from Xiangkeng."
"Isn't it produced in Shanghai..." Liu Zhen paused and said, "Exported and then sold domestically?"
"Well, this umbrella was sold from Shanghai to Xiangkeng, then from Xiangkeng to Shencun, then from Shencun to Beijing, and then to us. It passed through three middlemen, and each of them made money.
When it comes to us, the price is only one or two dollars more expensive than that in the department store, which is not expensive. The cost will increase because of the pattern printed on it.
Intriguing, isn’t it?
"What's so interesting? Export tax rebates and exchange rates."
"Haha, you hit the nail on the head, awesome. Then did you know that the window of Shenzhen Cun did not attract huge foreign investment as planned? On the contrary, they set up a trading company as a window, taking advantage of Shenzhen Cun's preferential policies to resell goods.
Shenzhen has deviated from its four development goals: 'mainly export products', with actual imports exceeding exports; 'mainly import advanced technology', but the imported equipment is mainly obsolete equipment from Hong Kong and Japan;
'Investment is mainly foreign-funded'. In fact, foreign investment accounts for less than 30% of investment, and most of it is from Hong Kong; 'Structure is mainly industrial'. The total retail sales of social goods is greater than the total industrial output value. The money earned from doing business and reselling is much more than that from industry.
Nowadays, firecrackers are set off every day in the streets of Shencun, and new companies are listed and established almost every day. The main source of funds for establishing companies is loans, and the enthusiasm for getting rich through loans is frighteningly high.
You are also in the financial field. If you have time, you can find out how much money Shenzhen Construction Bank has loaned out. "
"Why do you want to take out a loan?"
"I don't have any idea. I'm just curious. If it's convenient, I'll ask. If it's not convenient, forget it. This is not too important. There's no need to ask for favors."
"I'll try."
"Let me tell you, this time when I went to the Northeast, I met an interesting family and a very interesting girl..."
Nan Yi quickly changed the topic and discussed his experiences in Northeast China with Liu Zhen with great interest.
In the next few days, Nan Yi went to pay attention to the decoration of the two restaurants. He didn't need to find any designer. Nan Yi directly sorted out his memories about restaurant decoration, came up with two plans that balanced the grade and cost, and found a "painter" for a package price of 20 yuan, and asked him to help draw two renderings.
While chatting with this painter, Nan Yi heard that he specialized in human figure painting. He even drew two sketches with his girlfriend as the model. After drawing the person, he was too lazy to draw the clothes.
"A bullet costs 60 cents. The money I gave can buy 33 bullets. They should be completely killed." After hearing the painter's boasting, Nan Yi secretly complained.
Nan Yi calculated with his fingers and concluded that this painter would not live beyond the next year.
Just based on the fact that the painter dared to tell a stranger about his familiarity with drawing human body sketches, I guess everyone around him who should know about this matter knows about it. If someone leaks it out next year, haha.
When the effect drawing was finished, Nan Yi thought it was really good, so he felt a little sorry for the painter. When they parted, he also reminded him: "Tianfuhao's pork elbow is delicious. You are so thin, buy a few more to supplement your diet. Don't be reluctant."
The decoration of the restaurant did not need to be supervised by Ueto Masami and was directly handed over to Pang Erzhu and Peng Xiuquan.
Masami Ueto returns to the role she was supposed to play and returns to her job.
April 10th.
When the newspapers were reporting on the crackdown on economic crimes, Nan Yi and Ueto Masami were already on the train from Qiantang to Yiwu.
When the train stopped at Xishi Station, a man wearing a ragged khaki cotton-padded jacket got on. His jacket was bulging and it was obvious that a lot of stuff was stuffed inside.
Nan Yi just took a glance, then retracted his gaze and continued to look down at "David Copperfield" in his hand.
Xishi Station is neither big nor small, so the train only stops for five or six minutes, and then the train continues to move.
"President, no, Comrade Nan, how long will it take to reach Yiwu?"
Ueto Masami speaks Chinese and has been in the capital for quite some time. If she still couldn't speak Chinese, Nan Yi would definitely fire her.
"According to the speed of the train, it should arrive in 50 minutes. What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"One thing is that the train is too shaky ."
“You’ve never taken the Shinkansen?”
"Yes, I've been to Sapporo and I took the Shinkansen."
"Since you've ridden the Shinkansen before, there's nothing to be uncomfortable with. All trains are pretty much the same."
"It's different. The Shinkansen doesn't have such a strong smell."
"Haha." Nan Yi put the book down and said with a smile, "Can't get used to the smell of chicken shit?"
In the carriage where Nan Yi and his companions were sitting, there was someone carrying two chicken cages with seven or eight chickens. They were bound to transport them along the way, and the carriage was filled with the smell of chicken shit.
“A little.”
"Then you have to adapt as quickly as possible. In the future, you will go to inspect and supervise the work of many places, and you will have to smell various similar smells."
"Then I'll just have to adapt as quickly as possible."
"You can imagine that what you smell is not some strange smell, but the smell of Benjamin Franklin, Queen Elizabeth II, or even the Zimbabwean dollar."
"Forget Zimbabwe. Their exchange rate is a joke."
"That's not the case. The Zimbabwean dollar is still very strong. Zimbabwe is a strong agricultural country."
"It has a fatal weakness. It is too dependent on aid from Europe and the United States. Once the International Monetary Fund makes economic adjustments, it will be finished."
“Since you think its currency is not strong, how do you think you can make money from it?”
"They set up a company in Zimbabwe, expanded it vigorously, created a false sense of prosperity, and then issued various short-, medium- and long-term corporate bonds, promising to repay them in US dollars at the exchange rate on the maturity date."
"Haha, are you betting that the Jinyuan will become worthless?"
"It doesn't need to become worthless paper. As long as the Zimbabwean dollar depreciates significantly, it will be fine. Zimbabwe is known as the bread basket. We can rely on it to do export business. We can carry out normal trade while waiting for the Zimbabwean dollar to depreciate."
"It's a good idea. We can think about it carefully in the next few days. In fact, your idea can be implemented in many African countries, not just Zimbabwe."
"Do you want sugar? Do you want eggs?"
Nan Yi and Ueto Masami were just finishing their conversation. Nan Yi had just seen the man with bulging body, so he asked stealthily from the seat next to them.
After doing a business deal over there, he went to Nan Yi's row and asked, "Want some candy?"
"What kind of candy?"
"Yiwu brown sugar." The man spread out an oil-paper bag and showed the brown sugar cubes inside.
"The Buddhist temple or the Yiting?"
"I am from the Buddhist temple."
"What's your name?"
"Lou Yuchun."
"My name is Nan Guiyan, how much do you sell your candy for?"
Lou Yuchun said, "The big ones are 1 cent, and the small ones are 5 cents."
Nan Yi glanced at the oil paper bag and roughly estimated, "I'll give you two dollars, will you sell them all to me?"
"Sure, there's nothing wrong with that." Lou Yuchun said with a smile.
"Please sit down, let's chat." Nan Yi waved his hand, asking the tiger cub to give up his seat.
"You guys are together?"
"Yes, we're together. Please sit down. You're welcome." Nan Yi handed the money to Lou Yuchun, took the brown sugar, and asked him to sit down.
"Ah Hu, go find the train conductor and buy a ticket."
"OK."
The tiger cub agreed and walked to another carriage.
"Comrade Lou, I know you definitely didn't buy the ticket, so I bought it for you. Don't worry, we can talk slowly."
"How do you know I didn't buy a ticket?"
"I can calculate how much stuff you can carry and how much profit you can make. The ticket from Xishi to Yiwu is 1.5 yuan. Do you want me to continue?"
"No, no, Comrade Nan, that's amazing. You have also done business?" Lou Yuchun shook his hand and said embarrassedly.
"I did. I sold eggs like you. Do you specialize in being a guerrilla on the train?"
"Not really. I went to Shanghai to see if there was anything I could bring back and sell. I bought a ticket when I went there. I had too little capital, so I didn't bring much back. I sold it all in Qiantang.
I thought that I wouldn’t make much money on this trip, so I bought some eggs in the countryside of Qiantang and sold them on the bus together with the brown sugar I brought with me.
I sold all the eggs to Xishi, so I bought some in the countryside of Xishi, thinking of selling them back to Yiwu, and then I met you."
"I heard that your county issued the "Temporary Permit for Exchanging Chicken Feathers and Fertilizers for Exchanging Sugar for Small Department Stores" to you sugar extortion gangs two years ago. Why don't you go and exchange it for chicken feathers?"
"It's not profitable to trade chicken feathers. They can only be used as fertilizer."
"No way, you didn't make a feather duster out of the chicken feathers, did you?"
"It's impossible to do it. There are too many people doing it. Let me tell you, the county has issued more than 4,000 licenses, and at least 80% of them are for businesses selling feather dusters, scrub brushes, and needles and thread.
You see, the profit margins of these things are very thin, and you can’t carry them far with a load on your shoulder. You can only sell them in the surrounding areas. The only places you can go are the three nearby counties and the city , and the farthest you can go is Xishi.
If you do the same thing as others, you will definitely not be able to expand your business.
That’s why I thought about going to Shanghai. There are many factories and commodities there. If I can get good stuff in bulk there, I will definitely make a lot of money.”
"So where are you going to sell the stuff if you really get it?"
"Sell it in Yiwu. I don't have to sell it myself. I can sell it in bulk to other people, such as other people in the sugar knocking gang. I only need to make a small profit from the price difference. If I increase the volume, I should be able to make a lot."
"You are doing wholesale, which is a good idea. Although the profit per unit is not as high as retail, you can quickly increase the volume. As the volume increases, your profit will be greater.
Moreover, when you are successful, you can sell goods on credit, so that you can leverage to expand your scale and expand your product categories.”
"Comrade Nan, what does this lever type mean?" Lou Yuchun asked humbly.
