Volume 3 Summer Rain Chapter 0319 Nepotism
"It's not that I'm highly employed. Apart from being an accountant in the village, I'm just an unemployed young man. I can't compare with you, Boss Wang." Nan Yi said modestly, and then said to Xian Yaochang: "Uncle Yaochang, you guys can go and do your work first. I'll eat here."
"We really have something to do. Well, Nan Yi, you continue to eat here. We'll leave first. You don't have to settle the bill. I'm familiar with the boss here. You can put it on my account."
"Okay, I won't be polite then."
The two sides said goodbye, and Nan Yi found a big table and asked Chen Mingdi and others to sit down and eat with him.
After Wang Wanke and Xian Yaochang walked out of the restaurant, Wang Wanke quickly asked, "Yaochang, is that Nan Yizhen working as an accountant in your village?"
"What kind of accountant is he? He only spends a few days in the village every year."
"Then why do you still call him Accountant Nan?"
"I won't tell anyone else, Lao Wang, we have been doing business together for a long time, so I won't hide it from you. Don't underestimate Nan Yi, he came to Wenchangwei to work in the village in 1977, and within a few months he was involved in major decisions in the village, and then the village underwent earth-shaking changes.
You see, there are still people selling electronic watches and microphone mirrors outside, thinking that these are very fashionable businesses, but in fact, they are just leftovers from our Wenchangwei.”
"Why, you guys in Wenchangwei have turned off the electronic watches so early?" Wang Wanke asked in surprise.
"It was very early. I don't remember the details. I was just a small figure in the village and had no right to participate in the village's major events. The first time I participated in the village's business was when "The Chase" was released that year. The village drove a big truck from the south to the north to sell frog glasses and Duqiu windbreakers.
As you know, the road was not safe, and the village needed people to escort the goods along the way. I followed one of the groups and in eight days, the whole truck of goods was sold out before we reached the Yangtze River.
It was so hard. I fought more than a dozen times in eight days. The hole on my arm was left from that time. It was dug out by someone with a hoe."
As Xian Yaochang spoke, he lifted up his sleeves and showed a dent near his elbow joint.
"The village only did this one shady business. After that, it set up a collective enterprise, with dividends every year, and encouraged everyone to go out and do business. Lao Wang, I also asked the villagers for their opinions on how we could come together to do business together."
"No way, do you need the village's approval to run your own business?"
"That's not necessary, but I don't have that much money to stockpile corn. The bulk of the money comes from the village. You can also say that the village actually takes the bulk of the money from my business. The decision on what to do depends on the village and Nan Yi."
After hearing what Xian Yaochang said, Wang Wanke quickly sketched out the image of Nan Yi, the military strategist of the Wenchang siege.
From the details to the whole, from Xian Yaochang, Wang Wanke had long known the specialness of Wenchangwei.
Xian Yaochang would break down each link, make every step legal, and make his business formal. Moreover, he would take the initiative to go to the tax office to pay taxes, paying the required amount without avoiding a single cent.
But he would also go directly to the staff at the tax office and ask a stupid question - how can I pay less tax legally?
Wang Wanke, who studied economics, knew that what Xian Yaochang actually wanted was "reasonable tax avoidance."
When others are walking on a tightrope and don't even think about paying taxes unless a knife is on their necks, Xian Yaochang is obviously an outlier.
But Wang Wanke learned from Xian Yaochang that paying taxes according to the law is something the village has repeatedly emphasized. If anyone dares to evade taxes, the village will deal with them first without waiting for the tax office to come to them.
Wang Vanke is very clear about what a company can bring to society. Solving employment, commodity circulation, and currency circulation are all subtle, but for the country, taxation is the most direct and immediate.
Wang Wanke vaguely felt that Wenchang was nurturing not speculators operating in the gray area, nor profiteers who trampled on policy loopholes, but entrepreneurs who were truly beneficial to the country.
It turns out that Wang Wanke felt that there was a capable person in Wenchangwei, and it seems that this capable person must be Nan Yi.
"Interesting, let's get closer next time."
While Wang Wanke was thinking about it, he and Xian Yaochang rushed towards Shekou.
After the meal, Nan Yi realized a problem. He still lacked a house in Shencun. In the city, he didn't even have a place to take a nap.
In order to find a place to sit and rest for a while, Nan Yi went to the dance hall of Zhuyuan Hotel.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down in the dance hall, I got a little surprise.
A man came onto the stage, the accompaniment started, and when the rhythm came together, Nan Yi knew what song it was - "Platform", a song that had not yet been released. The man on the stage was most likely Liu Hong.
The song "Platform" did not become popular across the country until 1987, but Nan Yi knew that this song would be released next year and would make Liu Hong famous in the south.
While people in the north were still listening to Teresa Teng's soft music, in the south, or more precisely in Guangzhou, the seeds of pop music had already sprouted, and some musicians had already carried their guitars and started their "Yangdiao" journey.
Nan Yi remembers that it was around these two years that the guitar became a very fashionable item, and young people born in the late 1960s and early 1970s all wanted to own a guitar.
"The long platform, the long wait, the long train, carrying my short-lived love, oh - the lonely platform, oh - the lonely wait, my heart is waiting, waiting forever..."
After Liu Hong finished singing on the stage, the stage lights above his head began to flicker, and the exciting entrance music sounded. From the entrance of the dance hall, a row of models walked in with cat steps.
They are all very tall. As soon as Nan Yi sees the faces of these models, he can basically judge that they are from Eastern Europe. He guesses that they are from Bulgaria or Albania. The possibility of them being from Poland and Ukraine is not high. Their lives are pretty good now and they don't have to go to the mainland to make money.
There is a bride trade in Bulgaria and the status of women is difficult to say.
The Albanians have a mature industry chain of human trafficking in France, Italy and the Netherlands. Ghost casually checked the information in Paris and found out that the Albanians are behind the streetwalkers in Paris.
Nan Yi glanced at it for a few seconds and then looked away. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"Nan Da Lao."
Nan Yi was just about to take a nap when someone called him.
Without looking at the person, Nan Yi knew who was calling him. It must be Lai Biao's cousin Lai Hu Ri [mì]. Only he would call Nan Yi like that.
Nan Yi had only seen Lai Hu Ri twice, once when he came to take money and once when he came to give money.
The day of the tiger is the white tiger. Clouds come from dragons and winds come from tigers. The Lai family named their children after the tiger, which has both water and fire. If the Lai family has a male child, he should most likely be named Lai Biao.
"Lai Hu Ri, what are you doing here?"
"Boss, what else can we do here? Watch the show." Lai Huri walked to the opposite side of Nan Yi and sat down by himself.
"It's not a festival, why don't you stay in school and come out to watch the show?"
"I don't have any classes in the afternoon, so I'm going out to play with my classmates. Xue Ning, come and sit down. Let me introduce you to the boss from Nan University." Lai Hu Ri said, waving in one direction.
Soon, a girl came to their table.
Nan Yi took a quick look and found that the girl was dressed quite fashionably, with a silk embroidered dress inside and a small vest outside, and blue-grey jeans on the bottom. What she wore on her feet was a bit shabby, a pair of white nurse shoes, which girls especially liked to wear in the past two years and were very cheap.
She is good-looking, but delicate and fragile, and a bit pitiful.
"Boss, let me introduce you to Jiang Xue Ning, my classmate." Lai Hu Ri introduced: "This is my brother's classmate Nan Yi, Boss Nan."
"Hello, Brother Nan."
"Xiao Jiang, right? Don't stand, sit down." Nan Yi greeted him warmly, raised his hand and called a waiter over.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Remy Martin."
"Cola."
"You want to die? Can't you see what I'm drinking? Remy Martin, can I tear your head off and soak it in wine?"
"Boss, you are just like what my brother said, so lonely and stingy."
"Two cups of Coke, thank you." Nan Yi said to the waiter, and then said to Lai Huri, "My nickname is Grandet, which was given to me by your brother. I can't bury it. You poor boy, you should act like a student when you are studying. Don't come to such occasions next time."
"Boss, times have changed. I have to keep up with the times and not fall behind. It's so nice here. I can see foreign girls."
"Oh, you poor fellow."
Nan Yi smiled and said no more words of advice. With his family background, Lai Hu would not have a bad life in the future no matter how well he studied.
After the Coke came, Nan Yi ordered some snacks. There was nothing new, just some melon seeds, peanuts, and other high-end dried fruits, squid shreds, etc.
"Boss, which mountain are you on now? Last time I went to Xiangkeng to look for my brother, I said I wanted to find you, but my brother said you didn't stay in Xiangkeng for long."
"I've been jumping around a lot. I just spent two months in Tokyo recently."
"Tokyo, is it fun over there with the Japanese?"
"It's OK. There are more things to do. You can go and see them yourself if you have a chance. I haven't been to the places you like, so I can't really describe them."
"I think my family won't agree, and we don't have the money. Big Brother, let me tell you, my brother is such a role model, I can't stand or sit at home. My brother was admitted to Beijing University and went abroad to study, so my family used him to educate me, and life was hard."
"Then you should fight for your reputation. Since you don't have a chance at Beijing University, then you should strive to study abroad. Your brother went to Eagle Country, so you can go to the Fox Country and give yourself some face."
"That's probably impossible. I'm at the bottom of the class in terms of academic performance. It's good enough that I can graduate from Baoda University. Xue Ning's academic performance is quite good. Boss, can I ask you for a favor?" Lai Huri suddenly said with a shameless face.
"What's the matter?" Nan Yi asked knowingly.
"You have a lot of resources outside, so please help me send Xue Ning to study abroad."
Nan Yi looked at Jiang Xue Ning and said, "Want to go out?"
"Yes." Jiang Xue Ning nodded and replied softly: "I want to study abroad in the country of Xian."
"What do you want to study? Each school focuses on different majors."
"I haven't thought about it yet, I just want to go out and see the world."
Yes, Nan Yi understood it as soon as he heard it. "Studying" is fake, but going abroad is real. This is also a lost lamb who was swept up in the trend of studying abroad.
"If you want to study abroad, you don't have to do it so early. First finish your sophomore year in China, and then go abroad in your junior year. Okay, Lai Huri, I'll keep this in mind for you. Come back to me the year after next."
It was still a question whether Lai Huri and Jiang Xue Ning could be together until the year after next, so Nan Yi just agreed to it casually. Even if they hadn't broken up by then, he would just take care of it, and it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Okay , the boss is still reliable. Xue Ning, why don't you thank Boss Nan quickly."
"Brother Nan, thank you." Jiang Xue Ning said with a smile.
"No need to thank me, it's no big deal." Nan Yi waved his hand.
Perhaps something that she had been thinking about for a long time had a good result. Jiang Xue Ning became very enthusiastic towards Nan Yi and was always smiling.
This made Nan Yi look down on her a little bit, and he felt that Jiang Xue Ning wasted her sympathy.
That's right, she's only a freshman, and she's hanging out with Lai Huri, how can she be a good and honest family? At most, Jiang Xue Ning looks a little more deceptive, this kind of person is born to cause trouble for physiognomy.
After spending time in the dance hall until around four o'clock in the afternoon, Nan Yi paid the bill, left a thousand yuan for Lai Huri, and went outside to find a place to make a phone call.
Mobile phones are not available in the mainland yet. Even for pagers, only Shanghai has an analog paging system, and it was launched in a hurry just for the National Games.
As for Guangdong Province, according to Lai Biao, it is also in the process of preparation, but the progress is slow. It is estimated that it will only start next year and will not be promoted until the year after.
Once they arrived in the mainland, Nan Yi didn't dare ask people to carry satellite phones all the time, so he could only look for public phones on the streets.
He called Li Wenfu and called Xian Yaohua out, and the three of them had dinner at the Beijing Hotel.
We had a very pleasant chat and the OEM business was easily agreed upon.
Pepsi is now mainly promoting cola in mainland China. Several other sub-brands, such as 7UP and Mirinda, have not yet entered the market. There is no obvious competitive relationship between Xiongqi and Pepsi. Besides, when has Pepsi ever taken other brands seriously except Coca-Cola?
Yes, only Pepsi and Coca-Cola are popular all over the world. Other brands are only popular in a small range, and the powerful ones have almost been merged by the two companies.
For example, Fanta was very popular in Europe, but was taken over by Coca-Cola in the 1960s.
Currently, there are only two brands that are popular all over the world: Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The powerful Hongniu has just stepped out of Luguo and entered Lijiaopo, and it has a long way to go in its global expansion.
As soon as it gets dark in Shencun, the unsettling BGM starts playing automatically, as if telling people that evil is coming.
On the way back to Wenchangwei from Shekou, Nan Yi saw several motorcycles parked on the roadside from the car window. There were at least two people sitting on each motorcycle. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but the two red dots of burning cigarettes could be seen very clearly.
These people are probably waiting for their prey.
"Ming Di, what do you usually do in the factory?"
"Help Brother Wei Qiao to keep an eye on the factory's production. If there are any customers coming, accompany them out for dinner and drinks."
"Is the factory busy during this period?"
"It's OK. The production tasks are fully booked and the customers will not come this month. I just go to the workshop every day to deal with the defective products."
"Oh, I see. Wait for my call and help me with something in two days."
"Okay, I'll wait for your instructions."
…
The next day, Nan Yi had just finished breakfast in the cafeteria and sat by the river with Xian Weiqi for a while when someone came to report that Wang Wanke and Xian Yaochang had returned to the village and were waiting for him to meet them at the village committee.
