Volume 3 Summer Rain Chapter 0341 Fly, Nanshi
Maybe God didn't want Nan Yi to watch drifting. When he arrived at Akina Mountain, the winding mountain road had been closed and there were many police officers active there. After taking a quick look, Nan Yi saw a familiar face.
Kudo Haruko, the senior of Ueto Masami, whom I met last time at Narayama's place in Kume Village.
"Why would a police officer from Kanagawa come to Gunma?" Nan Yi thought in surprise, "Or was she transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department so soon?"
"Tiger cub, drive."
Since drifting is not as good-looking, Nan Yi can only leave with regret.
On the way, he called Ueto Masami and learned from her that Kudo Haruko had been transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and her rank had been changed to Superintendent of Police. She had risen in rank really quickly.
Above the Superintendent of Police there are Senior Superintendent, Sergeant Superintendent, Superintendent General and Superintendent General. Given Kudo Haruko's age, being promoted to Superintendent of Police is already the limit for her age. The rest of the time she has to wait for years and gain experience.
To rise up on time, Kudo Haruko's family is not simple. If there is no one behind her, this would be impossible.
Nan Yi thought to himself that he could hang out with Kudo Haruko.
In the next two days, Nan Yi waited for news from Matsumoto Yosuke while participating in the Information and Planning Committee's discussion on the expansion model of the retail industry.
Not only the 365 supermarkets, 007 membership stores, and 996 convenience stores of Yi Retail need to expand, but the terminal retail stores of Shennong Nanliang also need to expand.
Shennong Nanliang will not only participate in bulk grain transactions, but also face end customers directly. Grain and oil stores and 996 convenience stores will expand together at that time, complementing each other and driving each other's sales.
Expansion is definitely necessary, the key is whether it is expansion of a light asset model or a heavy asset model.
The world's mainstream expansion model has shifted from a heavy asset model to a light asset model. Generally, companies will choose a light asset expansion model and focus on their corporate brands for their layout.
A light asset company refers to a company that has less capital required for operations and usually relies on less fixed asset capital.
Asset-light companies generally have a high return on invested capital. An asset-light company means that the company only needs a small investment to obtain a high profit.
Furthermore, when the company expands, it only needs to reinvest a small portion of its profits into the business to expand.
What are the benefits of an asset-light company?
First, asset-light companies have smaller capital requirements and are easier to expand;
Second, as a business, since it does not require a lot of investment, the risk is relatively small;
Third, asset-light companies generally have less debt because they do not need a lot of money to expand and grow their business.
Debt is a very important aspect for a business. Many people even believe that a company that has no debt will never go bankrupt.
A light-asset company can use the money it earns to reinvest, distribute dividends, or repurchase shares. In contrast, heavy-asset companies often have long investment cycles, high debts, and their business is prone to cyclicality.
Those who prefer heavy assets are naturally optimistic about the development of the real estate industry. They believe that Nan's Investment Holdings can acquire a large number of properties for appreciation in the long term in the future.
"What do you think of the poor agent?"
Hearing Nan Yi's words, Scarlett rolled her eyes and said into the intercom: "I tend to prefer heavy assets. The global real estate market is generally on an upward trend.
In the United States, the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 lifted the interest rate caps under the Federal Reserve's Regulation Q; and the Optional Mortgage Transaction Parity Act of 1982 allowed the use of variable interest rates.
According to news from Washington, Congress is considering tax reforms that may prohibit tax exemption of consumer loan interest. If this bill is passed, it may give birth to a new secondary mortgage market.
Once this market is formed, what will happen according to Wall Street's usual practice? "
"Scarlett, just say it directly. This is not a classroom and you are not a teacher."
Scarlett rolled her eyes again and said, “As interest rates continue to fall, cash-out refinancing will become popular. Borrowers will continue to borrow new debt to repay old debt, and the amount of new debt must exceed the original debt.
Over a long period of time, house prices will continue to rise, which will enable borrowers to obtain a steady source of funds, thereby increasing the demand for subprime mortgages.
Various changes that will occur in the market one after another will also provide favorable conditions for the development of subprime mortgages.
The prosperity of subprime mortgages will further push up housing prices. For at least twenty years, housing prices in our country will definitely show an upward trend. I suggest that Mr. Nan purchase a large number of properties.
Moreover, Scarlett Fund can also enter the subprime mortgage market in the future."
"Rachel, what do you think?"
After Scarlett finished speaking, Nan Yi asked Rachel.
Rachel said: "I support more investment in real estate."
"Huiwen?"
"I support it too," said Liang Huiwen.
Nan Yi asked everyone who participated in the meeting one by one, and finally came to the conclusion that nearly 80% of people supported Nan's Investment Holdings to increase its investment in real estate.
The remaining 20% do not disagree with investing in real estate, but they think that this investment should be separated out rather than integrated into the retail business.
"Since everyone agrees, let's increase investment in the real estate industry. The Nan family will hold a large amount of real estate in various countries in the next ten years. Huiwen, the Information and Strategy Committee should analyze as soon as possible which countries are suitable for us to hold real estate."
"clear."
“Whether it is Yi Retail or Shennong Nanliang’s grain and oil store, I hope they will maintain book losses for a long time to come, and use their profits for expansion or real estate purchases.
In a country where it is worth owning real estate, their stores must belong to them.
First Retail will definitely be listed in the future. Before the listing, most of the real estate will be separated from First Retail to make its accounts look good and wait for the IPO.
That's it, everyone else goes offline, Huiwen stays."
After hearing the voices of people hanging up the phone, Nan Yi said to Liang Huiwen, "Huiwen, it's time for Houji Agriculture to get involved in the edible oil field. Get ready. Houji Agriculture will establish an edible oil production enterprise. When it develops to a certain scale, it will prepare to enter the Chinese and Indian markets.
In addition, Lu Yu Tea is also preparing to enter Jamaica to compete with Japanese coffee capital. My goal is that Lu Yu Tea must occupy more than 30% of the Blue Mountain coffee market share. "
In the late 1960s, Japan made large investments in Jamaica. Jamaica used Japanese loans to manage coffee planting and gradually improved production quality.
Since then, Japan has continued to invest in Jamaica's coffee industry. Currently, most of Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee is controlled by the Japanese, so Japan has obtained the priority purchasing right for Blue Mountain Coffee.
Due to the very limited planting area of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, the annual output is less than 900 tons. Japan has the right of first refusal to purchase 90% of it, while other countries in the world, including the United States and the United States, can only purchase the remaining 10%.
This is not to say that Japanese capital has already firmly controlled Blue Mountain Coffee and that capital from other countries has no chance at all.
The high-end coffee industry is a relatively closed industry with no big capital involved. Except for the chaebols behind the coffee capital in Japan, the capital involved in the coffee industry in other countries are all small capital, and no consortium is interested in this area.
When Lu Yu Tea enters the coffee industry, it will be like a giant crocodile breaking into a small pond, which will definitely turn it upside down.
"Nansheng, Guo Henian of the Guo Group seems to be preparing to enter the mainland. His nephew Guo Kongfeng's Guo Jiali is already in contact with Hualiang. It won't be long before Shennong Nanliang and Guo Group run into each other."
"It is normal to encounter this. The Kuok Group is engaged in sugarcane planting, sugar manufacturing, flour, feed, oil, mining, planting, trade and shipping. Kuok controls 80% of the Malaysian raw sugar market and 16.52% of the world sugar market.
The business of the Guo Group is highly overlapping with that of our Nan Group. Shennong Nanliang should say hello to the world, starting with the sugar industry.
How is the management of the indigenous brothers' farms? How much arable land is available for planting now? "
"Almost 9 million mu of land has been treated. Although the fertility of the land has not returned to normal, it can be used to grow sugar beets, but the yield may be slightly lower. In addition, we still have 4.5 million mu of land in Samba, which can all be used to grow sugar beets."
"Well, give me a report as soon as possible on how much sugar we , and also evaluate the probability that we can grow it secretly and hide it from the eyes of the world."
"Nansheng, are you going to disrupt the sugar market?"
"We have this idea. We have formulated a plan to short sugar futures and reshuffle the sugar industry, especially the capital engaged in sugarcane planting in Southeast Asia. We want to wash them out. Shennong Nanliang must be ready to control the sugar industry in Asia."
"Luo country?"
"There is also Yin'an. The farmland in Yin'an is privately owned. Shennong Nanliang will also enter Yin'an to annex a large amount of land."
“Through white gloves?”
"Of course, if we go in directly, aren't we waiting to be targeted? Just one glove of Dawan Raheja is not enough, we need more Indian gloves. One of your priorities next year is to find a few more pairs of Indian gloves."
"Nansheng, you can use your beauty to marry two Indian noble ladies of high caste."
"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll send you to Yin and Yang for marriage." Nan Yi frowned.
"Haha, our Galaxy Goddess mineral water is selling well and is very popular in India." Liang Huiwen changed the subject.
"Well, I've seen the financial report, it's pretty good. Next year, or the year after next at the latest, I will go to Mumbai for a while to oversee the implementation of our India development strategy.
Make some arrangements. First, buy a manor in Mumbai, and let Ruan Zhiping form several security teams composed of Indians. After they are trained and tested for loyalty, they will be sent to Mumbai first. "
"I understand." Liang Huiwen responded and said, "Nansheng , you should go to Paris. You haven't seen Miss Sophie for a long time. She is still young and in a changing period. If..."
"Yes, I know. I will make time to go there as soon as possible. I will keep a close eye on Katherine Boleyn. When the time is right, I will go and meet her."
"She has always been in our sights. She has not had a good time recently. The Boleyn family is on the verge of bankruptcy. Catherine is barely making ends meet now and will need to sell off her property soon."
"That's great. Then I can be a savior and save this lost lamb."
“The light of the Lord will shine throughout the whole world.”
"Haha, naughty, hanging up." After saying that, Nan Yi hung up the phone.
There are so many things to do. All of Nan's industries have to move forward, and they have to prepare to enter the mining and oil industries. Nan Yi still remembers the locations of many mines and oil fields in his mind.
In the next two to three years, the Nan family plans to make large-scale layouts in the oil and mining industries. Can a consortium still be called a consortium if it does not have a say in the energy industry?
