Spring Thunder Chapter 0254: The Initial Establishment of the Relationship Network of the Kingdom of Qin
"No, I'm just like you. My work isn't going too well for me either. But I'm lucky. I met an old lady from the Kingdom of Qin. She fell in love with me at first sight and kept crying and begging to marry me. I felt sorry for her and agreed.
Maybe good things happen to good people. The old lady passed away not long ago and left me a fortune of hundreds of millions. So, as you can see , I am living a good life now and have no worries about food and drink. "
Nan Yi spread his hands and told Leng Yan his story.
"Oh, what old lady?"
Leng Yan suppressed her excitement and continued the chat awkwardly.
"He's quite famous. He turned out to be a big Hollywood star. I won't tell you his name."
"Then you are lucky enough."
There was a hint of sourness in Leng Yan's words. She was now filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, and her clever brain had lost its basic judgment.
If a female celebrity really gets married, even if she is an outdated old lady, there are only a few female celebrities in Hollywood who can be considered big stars, and you can list them all on one finger.
A female star married a young man who is several decades younger than her, and this young man is Chinese. It would be strange if there were not gossips flying around. What's the matter? Do you look down on Chinese paparazzi?
They can dig up gossip about big shots in the White House, but can’t they dig up scandals about a “little star”?
Don’t you see? Whenever something happens on the street, the first ones to arrive are definitely the TV network’s helicopters, and the NYPD and SWAT planes have to stand aside.
"Yeah."
Nan Yi waved his hand, called a waiter over and ordered a drink.
"How long until you graduate?"
"It will take a few more years."
"What are your plans after graduation? Stay here or go back?"
"Let's go back. I found that this place is not the paradise I imagined. How should I put it? I found that after reaching a certain level, there is no future for development, unless you are white. We Chinese are not as good as blacks or Indians here."
"It's good to go back. There are actually more opportunities in China. There's no need to stay here."
"Patch...Oh, no, Nan Yi, actually I have a hard time here." Leng Yan looked into Nan Yi's eyes and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Haha, I see. You want to find someone to rely on temporarily, or to comfort each other. Is that what you mean?"
Leng Yan sneered with a hint of sarcasm or self-mockery, "There are quite a few Chinese students studying in Columbia, from all over the world, and there are also second- and third-generation locals. From my observation, except for a few who are not in love, there are quite a few who are married or living together.
Basically, they choose to be with their own people. Some of them actually have husbands in their hometowns. They live together to comfort each other. They either go their separate ways when they leave, or kick their husbands and lovers and stay here to wait for someone better.
There are very few people who can truly support each other and go from love to loving each other.
It’s too hard, it’s really too hard. There are endless sweaters to knit and dishes to wash. When I get back to where I live, I fall asleep as soon as I lie down. I don’t even have the energy to take a shower.”
"I understand. How about this..." Nan Yi took out his wallet, took out a stack of cash, and counted out 20 bills. "Take this 200 US dollars. I'll have someone check on your situation in New York in the next two days. As for the rest, we can talk about it next time."
"good."
Leng Yan gritted her teeth a little, feeling like she was a cheap commodity on the shelf, for others to pick and comment on. But they were still not satisfied and wanted to investigate her thoroughly.
"That's it for now, see you next time."
After leaving the cafe, Nan Yi said to the colonel beside him: "Check it out, mainly about her studies, ask her tutor for his evaluation of her."
"Men don't need to be checked?"
"No, it's her freedom whether she has slept with anyone or not. I don't care."
Nan Yi recalled that Leng Yan was a good student and was also very smart. If she did well in her studies after coming to the Kingdom of Qin, he would not mind nurturing this talent, rather than supporting her as Leng Yan thought.
In Nan Yi's eyes, women hold up half the sky. He is a noble and pure man. When he sees a woman who makes his heart beat, his first thought is whether he can become her colleague and work together, rather than sleeping with her in some dirty way.
Decree date.
The colonel found someone to investigate Leng Yan. It must be said that the people of the Kingdom of Qin have a good business sense. As long as there is a demand, there will be someone who can provide the service.
Nan Yi took Chen Weizong to Yonkers to see the place he had chosen.
“The land here is not expensive, but the labor is expensive. The expo needs to be designed and constructed, which takes time and money.
A rough estimate shows that the construction cost here is close to tens of millions of US dollars. Even if the design plan is as economical as possible, it is impossible to save much. After all, this place will accommodate many people at the same time, and the safety index of the building needs to be high. "
"Tens of millions of dollars? It's difficult for the village to come up with 6 million dollars. It's possible that all the family savings will be emptied."
In the Nanchen Liquor project, Nanyi and Nanchen Village hold a 50-50 share, but Nanchen Village needs to pay 60% of the cost.
"I know. So we won't invest in this expo ourselves. I will look for partners. Also, we can introduce partners for Nanchen Wine."
"There is no sign of Nanchen Liquor's success right now. How can we bring in partners? Even if we do, how much investment can they give? If it's not much, we might as well support it ourselves."
Chen Weizong was still very clear-headed and knew that there was not much point in bringing in a partner now.
"Very good, you are very clear-headed. Let's see how much investment the expo can find. Go back in the next two days and talk to the village about this matter, then come back as soon as possible and ask Uncle Zong Qing to issue you a letter of authorization, authorizing us to act at our convenience in the country of Xian."
"OK."
Chen Weizong flew back to China quickly, and Nan Yi's schedule was also very full.
Big Bear Mountain is located 60 kilometers north of New York City. It has undulating mountains and dense forests. There are mirror-like lakes and winding streams between the mountains. The peaks are towering and green in spring and summer, and the sea of clouds is leisurely in autumn and winter.
There are seven lakes scattered at the foot of Daxiong Mountain, so it is also called the Seven Star Lakes.
There is a manor on the edge of one of the lakes, adjacent to the former summer palace of Roosevelt. Nan Yi's motorcade arrived here and asked everyone else to wait on the side. He went to the lake side of the manor alone under the guidance of security.
By the lake, there was a middle-aged man in his early fifties with a cigar in his mouth and a very thin fishing rod in his hand, waving it towards the lake from time to time. Nan Yi saw that there was no fish hook on the fishing line, only some colorful ornaments strung together.
These colorful creatures were thrown into the lake from time to time, stayed there for a while, were picked up again, and then thrown in again, repeating this process continuously.
Nan Yi just stood there and watched without disturbing them.
The middle-aged man continued fishing there with great concentration until he caught a large-mouth bass weighing two or three pounds. Then he put down the fishing rod and turned to look at Nan Yi.
"Welcome, Mr. Adam."
"Hello, Mr. Davidson."
Harry Davidson, a heavyweight figure in the Morgan Consortium, although his last name is not Morgan, he also holds a pivotal position in the Morgan family.
Of course, Nan Yi had no way of knowing all this originally; Scarlett told him all this.
However, Nan Yi has some doubts about this information. The person on the surface may not be the core figure, but the label of "heavyweight" should not be wrong.
Just like the Nan family that Nan Yi envisioned, he would never be the one standing at the front in the future, but the person who could make him trust standing at the front must be someone he trusted and respected. It was impossible to put a puppet in such a position. There were too many things that needed to be decided immediately, and a puppet would not work at all.
"Mr. Adam, although I am a descendant of the Eagle Nation, I don't like to talk about the weather before a conversation. I value efficiency. How about we skip those unnecessary steps and get straight to the point?"
"Of course, Mr. Davidson, go ahead."
"20%, based on your asking price of 3 billion US dollars, but I will arrange for someone to join Scarlett Company, someone with decision-making power."
“15%, $2.2 billion, voting rights and participation rights.”
"Mr. Adam, let's be honest and direct. How about 15%, or 2 billion US dollars?"
"make a deal."
"Let's have a drink."
…
Nan Yi left Daxiong Mountain after staying there for a short time. What happened between him and Harley Davidson could not be considered a negotiation. In fact, both sides were very clear about the bottom line they could accept.
It is impossible for Nan Yi to give up the dominant position, but he needs Morgan's support, so it is normal to make concessions on the price.
Although the Morgan Consortium is the big boss behind the Donkey Party, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager after all. The discounts for the Donkey Party members in South Nevada are even bigger than Morgan's.
The shares of Scarlett Gold Company have been almost dispersed. Scarlett personally holds 5%, with no income at all; the Cox family holds 10%, with an income of 1.2 billion; the Donkey Party holds 10%, with an income of 850 million; Stephen Adelson holds 5%, with an income of 700 million; Edward holds 5%, with an income of 600 million US dollars; and Morgan holds 15%, with an income of 2 billion.
In addition, 5% of the shares will be reserved for the Scarlett Fund. In total, 60% of the shares have been distributed, and Pan American Investment Holdings only has 40% of the shares.
Although the income from selling shares was not as high as Nan Yi had initially expected, he was quite satisfied with the result. He had also established a friendly foundation with the Donkey Party.
Besides, Scarlett Fund’s 5% can be harvested in a few more waves to make up for the lost money.
The expected profit was 6 billion, but only 5.35 billion was earned. Isn’t that a loss of 650 million?
"Business is so difficult, and we're losing money everywhere. We need to go public quickly, put Nan Ruoyin's name on the list of senior executives, and pay her a salary of hundreds of millions every year.
By the way, we can also put our cat Yizai in the list. It’s not bad to get a salary of tens of millions a year. After five or six years, the losses will be recovered.” Nan Yi sat in the car, thinking secretly.
