Spring Thunder Chapter 0269 This piece of fat meat is named Nan
In the following days, Nan Yi asked the tiger cub to keep an eye out for anyone staring at the old house, especially women.
But after observing for a few days, nothing was found.
I waited until Yuandan’s adoption procedures were completed, but I still didn’t see Yuandan’s cruel mother.
The procedures were completed very quickly. Since last year, child abandonment has become a more frequent incident, and the police station has to deal with several cases of child abandonment every month.
The general way of handling it is to make a registration. The police will persuade the person who picked up the child to take the child home to raise him/her, and then notify them when they have news.
It is usually difficult to wait for notification, and it is not easy to find the child's parents. Besides, the police station cannot use all its police force to find the parents for the child. Now the police stations everywhere are always busy, and it is enough for them to drink a pot to deal with those ignorant older children.
So, whenever someone wants to adopt a child, the police station will help coordinate the procedures, and the process will naturally be very fast.
Also in January, the first supermarket in the country opened in the HD area. It is not large, only about 200 square meters, and only a few dozen customers can be squeezed in at a time, otherwise there will be no room for them to move around.
Nan Yi took Liu Zhen to have a look around. There were only two kinds of products sold there: vegetables and meat. It was called a supermarket, but in fact it was just a vegetable store with clearly marked prices. It was no different from the vegetable stores in farmers' houses in urban villages in first- and second-tier cities decades later.
The dishes inside are about 5%-40% more expensive than those outside. Many people from Beijing just come in to see the novelty, and then run away with their mouths agape.
The only people who actually consume there are foreigners, but they also have many complaints. The packaged meat only has a price tag on it, with neither the product name nor the weight marked.
But the things inside are all good stuff. Although it is not like the Friendship Store that only allows foreigners to enter, the pricing standards here clearly target foreigners as the target customer group, so the things are naturally not bad.
The beef and mutton that Nan Yi saw in the store, although not special, was not something that ordinary people could eat on a daily basis, so he bought a little more.
Last year he had the idea of opening a supermarket in China, but after careful consideration, he gave up the idea. If the supply method of unified purchase and sale based on supply and marketing cooperatives is not broken, it will be impossible to open a supermarket because the supply of goods is a problem.
For the time being, the only areas suitable for supermarket survival are a few special economic zones. However, considering that supermarkets are highly replicable and the first-mover advantage is not obvious, Nan Yi decided to launch the supermarket project in China later in the years.
Also in January, the phrase "allow some people to get rich first" was often seen in newspapers.
Also in January, several of Liu Zhen's brothers from the Wuchuan family got together and conspired. The third brother, who had just graduated from university and had been assigned a job, planned to resign and go to the countryside with the other brothers to open an electronics factory to produce audio equipment.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the old man’s melon seeds business is booming. Seeing that he can sell thousands of kilograms of melon seeds every day, he can’t stop smiling.
In Shenzhen, a man named Wang Wanke found Xian Yaochang and wanted to form a partnership with him.
With Nan Yi's guidance, Xian Yaochang helped the Xie Group to sell corn in Shencun and made a lot of money.
Wang Wanke and Xian Yaochang got along very well. One had the channels and the other had the funds, so they hit it off and the two of them teamed up to trade corn.
Of course, there was some water in this instant agreement. Xian Yaochang did not agree directly, but asked the village committee first. Xian Yaodong then called Nan Yi.
When Nan Yi heard the name, he replied directly: "Cooperation, we must cooperate."
Nonsense, is it okay not to cooperate?
This person is also good at doing business of approval documents. If you don’t cooperate, others will overturn your business.
Nan Yi’s principle is to unite all forces that can be united, seek common ground while reserving differences, sit down and talk slowly, without affecting its own fundamental interests, and always be able to reach a result that both parties can accept.
Doing business is not like fighting for the throne. You have to kill everyone except yourself as your enemy.
Also in January, Nan Yi informed Men Saner and asked him to hold a rectification meeting among his subordinates to straighten out the work style and punish those who made mistakes.
Those who made serious mistakes were directly deported, those who made minor mistakes were exiled to Lingnan, and those who made no mistakes had to behave themselves.
The New Year is approaching, but there is no New Year atmosphere in Xiangkeng. The pedestrians on the street have solemn and unhappy faces.
At the beginning of this year, the housing prices in Xiangkeng plummeted, falling by more than 10% in just a few days. That’s not all. Every day when I opened my eyes, the housing prices had changed to a new, lower price, and no one knew where the price would stop.
Some real estate speculators who are more impatient or quick to seize opportunities quickly put their houses up for sale, fearing that they would have to jump off the building if they don't stop the loss in time.
On January 8, Nan Yi returned to Xiangkeng and asked someone to send Yuandan to New York first. He stayed in Xiangkeng to take charge of the situation.
Nan Yi's study was too small to accommodate the guests, so he requisitioned the living room of 2047 and used it as the command center for his bargain hunting operation in Xiangkeng Real Estate.
A map of Xiangkeng is hung on the wall of the living room, with every property and office building in Xiangkeng marked on it. Healthy ones are marked in green, unhealthy ones that may be sold are marked in red, and those that must be sold even if they are discounted to recover funds are marked in black.
For Nan Yi, the first target is of course black.
There was a sofa in the middle of the living room. This was Nan Yi's seat. There were a circle of narrow tables around him. There were two telephones on each table. There were a total of six tables and twelve telephones.
These twelve phones controlled Nan Yi's own private money of US$3,065,420, US$200 million from Z Fund, 50 million Hong Kong dollars from Lai Biao, 500 million US dollars from Nan's Investment Holdings, and 1 million US dollars from the Pension Fund.
The long-term pension fund was just established a few minutes ago. This fund was set up by Nan Yi for all the "formal employees" under the Nan Group. In the future, in addition to enjoying the medical insurance and retirement benefits of the country where the Nan Group employees work, the long-term pension fund will provide them with an additional security.
In short, Nan's employees will be able to receive an extra medical insurance and pension in the future, making it possible for them to make money from minor illnesses and spend less or no money on major illnesses.
Nan Yi plans to allow employees to enjoy this treatment for a period of time even if they resign. The specific period will be determined after calculation by an actuary. The goal is to gain a good reputation while spending as little money as possible.
Nan Yi is always willing to share with his own people, and he will never treat unfairly anyone who can make money for him.
"President, Chairman Zhu's acquisition plan has been sent over." Ueto Masami handed a faxed paper to Nan Yi.
The fax paper is filled with digital codes. By comparing them with the internal coding table, one can clearly know the acquisition targets of Creativity Real Estate.
Zhu Youren, also known as Pete Zhu, the chairman of Creativity Real Estate, is like all Hong Kong people who are not making it big. He gives himself an English name and mostly uses it in daily life.
But we can't blame them. People in Xiangkeng are more traditional in naming. Names like Furong, Fugui, Dezhong, Shufen and Shuzhen sound a bit rustic. If you say that artists have excuses to choose stage names, other people can't find an excuse to convince their families to change their names.
"Mark it on the map, don't fight among yourselves."
It's not just Nanyi. Creativity Real Estate and Fang Group are also preparing to buy at the bottom. If they don't coordinate, they might clash with each other.
As for why Nan Yi does not have unified management, he thinks there is no need for that. As long as they copy it at a low price, there is basically no possibility of losing money.
In addition, he also wanted to test Zhu Youren and see what his grandmother's vision was.
Nan Yi wants to establish Fang Mengyin's character as the strongest woman in Xiangkeng. If she is not strong enough, he will have to quickly provide her with a think tank. This character cannot be destroyed.
It's not shameful to establish a personal image. In Xiangkeng, people laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes.
The housing prices have only dropped by more than 10%, but the operations command room has already taken the initiative to call some "black" people and ask them in a friendly manner whether they would sell their properties at 30% or 50% off.
Usually nowadays, you will get a cold shoulder if you try your best, but it doesn’t matter. Just leave the name to the other party first and try your best. There will be a day when they will come back to you.
The cash flow of the wealthy people in Hong Kong is very tight now. Even if they know this is a good opportunity to buy at the bottom, what they can buy is very limited. Except for HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, no one in Hong Kong has more cash flow than themselves.
What's more, counting from the top of the wealth list downwards, it's all real estate, real estate, except for the gambling industry in between, everything else is real estate. They themselves are trapped in the game and cannot save themselves in time. Even if they know this is a good opportunity , they won't be able to get much fat meat.
If anyone dares to borrow money to get a piece of the fat meat, Nan Yi will turn his guns around and attack their hometown.
"The Nan family and the Fang family will have to eat this piece of fat meat. Who is in favor and who is against?" Nan Yi sat there with a sinister smile on his face.
…
"Dad, house prices have fallen again."
At Bao's house, Wu Zhengguang walked up to Bao Yugang who was basking in the sun in his yard.
"The fall of the Hang Seng Index will naturally lead to a fall in housing prices. There is nothing to be surprised about. We don't invest much in real estate, so we won't suffer too much loss this time."
Bao Yugang was not in good health, and he had seldom asked about Bao's business recently, which was all managed by his son-in-law Wu Zhengguang. Besides, he made his fortune by shipping, so after landing, he mainly focused on the dock.
"I will make up for this loss, Dad. I plan to spend 300 to 400 million Hong Kong dollars to buy at the bottom."
"The Bao business has been handed over to you. It's up to you to decide."
"Dad, the Fang Group is eyeing several office buildings. I heard from the Kong family that Fang has already asked them for a price and wants to buy their Jinhui Building at a low price."
"Oh, Miss Fang, you're so generous? What's the current ?"
"It has dropped a little. Now it is around 470 million Hong Kong dollars. The price should continue to fall," said Wu Zhengguang.
"What's Fang 's offer?"
"Cut in half."
"The Kong family can't hold on?"
"It's hard to hold on. We lost a lot of money in the stock market, all our working capital has been lost, and several loans are about to expire. They must sell Jinhui Building. Otherwise, they won't be able to get through this difficult time."
"This Miss Fang, either you don't move, or when you move it's like a thunderbolt."
"Dad, Jinhui Building is actually a high-quality asset. Should we contact the Kong family?"
Bao Yugang frowned, "Have you investigated Fang's background?"
"I'm not sure. Chairman Fang rarely comes out to walk around. I've never seen him at a banquet."
"Since you don't know, why are you still rashly making an enemy of her? Not to mention that the Bao family and the Fang family have some history, the Fang family's assets back then would not be a small amount even now. The Fang family collapsed without knowing why, who can guarantee that they didn't hide a large amount of property?
Zhengguang, you should plan carefully before you act. In the current situation, you have too many options if you want to buy at the bottom."
"Dad, I understand."
While Nanyi was waiting for the housing prices to fall, the days had already been written down to Laba Day.
Not only do people drink Laba porridge on Laba Festival, but they also have to give a New Year's gift to those who work at home.
Nan Yi got up early in the morning to prepare. A fruit basket was indispensable, and each person would have a piece of ham, a large box of dried seafood platter, and some other daily necessities such as towels, bath towels, soap, shampoo, etc.
Nan Yi didn't skimp on anything, and prepared high-end items. He also prepared a big red envelope of 3888 for each person, which was considered complete.
"Xiang He, Mrs. Chen, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Yu, Ruan Mei, Teacher Zhou, Doctor Cheng..."
Nan Yi ordered them one by one. No matter whether Ruan Mei and Teacher Zhou were still working or had already left, he did not forget that human relationships must be handled flawlessly.
The two children are no longer in Xiangkeng, so their instrument teacher naturally doesn't need to come.
After distributing the gifts and red envelopes to the few people who were still working at home, Nan Yi went out and delivered them to those who no longer worked there.
From near to far, after delivering to several houses, Nan Yi came to Ruan Mei's house, which was the farthest away.
There is a wooden house area between the Lei Cheng Uk Estate and Piper's Hill in Sham Shui Po, which is lined with shanty houses. Ruan Mei's family lives here.
Walking into an alley built in 1983, Nan Yi walked very slowly. Not only did he have to avoid the underpants drying above his head, but he also had to avoid the puddles of sewage on the ground. He especially had to be careful of the water above, as basins of water would pour out from time to time, and no one knew what the water was used to wash.
As he quickly walked out of the alley, a fellow Taoist in ragged clothes and slippers came towards Nan Yi.
It is easy to identify whether he is a fellow Taoist or not. He looks skinny, has dull eyes, chapped lips, blackened teeth, and has sores all over his body, emitting a foul odor.
As the fellow Taoist approached, Nan Yi's nose shuddered. Before, there was a foul odor, but now there was a bit of indescribable smell mixed with the stench.
It seems that this Taoist friend has just had an epiphany and was in a trance.
Quickening his pace, Nan Yi was already stepping into the sunshine before his fellow Taoist asked him to stop.
After walking a little further, we came to the door of a shack. Compared with other shacks nearby, this one had been carefully cleaned. It was like a morning glory growing in the garbage, with a bit of aloofness that was untainted by the mud.
Nan Yi knocked on the door, and it opened soon after. An old woman who looked to be in her sixties appeared in front of him. "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, you must be Ruan Mei's mother, right? I'm the parent of one of her former students. The New Year is coming soon, so I want to give her a New Year gift."
"Mom, who is it?"
