Volume 3 Summer Rain Chapter 0344 One Billion People, Nine Hundred Million Down
Except for Xian Yaodong, everything in Wenchangwei Village is relatively normal.
That night, Nan Yi did not stay in Wenchangwei, but asked Chen Yuxiu to pick him up.
"How is it going?"
"It's been done. There are six people in total, all of them have been arrested. There's no need to ask what they did here. They were originally fleeing from the Northeast, with cases on their shoulders."
"Northeast? Where is Northeast?"
"Bingcheng, I heard that he had a grudge against a guy called Daqiao Laosi over there, so he was driven out."
"oh."
Nan Yi had actually heard of the title of Daqiao Lao Si. He would be very famous in two years, but that was actually just the case. There were many truly ruthless people these days. Take the Northeast for example, which just produced two kings this year.
Not to mention looking southwards in Yunnan Province, Pingyuan Street has already become famous, with the slogan "Except fighter jets, you can buy everything here". Wow, it's really amazing.
You report your name to the outside world, have dragon and phoenix tattoos on your body to scare people, and rely on your numbers to bully the few. People in Pingyuan simply don't care. If you jump right in front of me, I will give you a beating with Type 40 fire and mortars.
That’s not all. There’s something even more bizarre. More than a year ago, someone in Daba Mountain in Wuchuan proclaimed himself emperor. He used Huang Qing as his reign title and called himself the Great Emperor Zhenghuang. He also sent Chiang Kai-shek an imperial edict, decided to make the county seat the capital, and used the county theater as the imperial palace.
When he was leading the army in person with more than 70 imperial guards, he was wiped out by two public security police officers with just three attacks: "Stop, what are you doing?", "Aren't you performing an opera?", "Squat down, you idiots, squat down with your heads in your hands."
What is this called? The former emperor passed away before he could complete his career, and then the music and dancing continued.
"What happened to those six people?"
"He was executed shortly after being escorted back to Northeast China. He committed a serious crime."
During the crackdown period, special matters were handled with special efficiency. If there was no need to parade through the streets, those who should be executed would be executed within three days, or those who should be sent to the Gobi Desert would be sent there.
“Is the city still in chaos?”
"It's OK, it's getting a little better . It's just that some young people watched Hong Kong movies in the video hall and didn't learn their lesson. They are quite naughty."
"Hong Kong movies? Aren't they mostly martial arts movies now? Are there any movies about young and dangerous people?"
"Yes, but not many. They are mainly gunfight and martial arts films. There is a guy named Chen Huiqi who made a movie called "Thief Nature", which is a movie related to Young and Dangerous. I heard that this guy is the leader of a gang and is very good at fighting. Many young guys admire him."
“Is it pretty?”
"It's OK. The last street chase scene is well designed. It feels like a martial arts movie. But the picture is too dark and I can't see clearly."
"Oh, are there many video halls now?"
"There are quite a few, and they make a lot of money. The ticket is one yuan. When there is a good movie, they dare to charge five or ten yuan. They can show four or five shows a day, with more than a hundred people in each show. In a month, they can easily make tens of thousands of yuan.
Mr. Da, I also know someone who came from the north, and he seems to be from Beijing. I heard that he opened a video hall in Beilonghe in cooperation with the Cultural Center. He is the only video hall in that place, and his business is very good. Every show is packed. "
"Oh, how did you know each other?"
"This guy was unlucky. He was targeted by robbers right after he came out of the place where videotapes were sold. I and a few other people from the village happened to be shopping there, so I helped him when I saw him. That's how we got to know each other. He also left me his name and address. His name is Li Huada. He told me to come visit him when I have time."
As soon as Nan Yi heard the name, he knew who it was.
Li Huada was a business genius of his generation. According to the original history, he was one of the earliest people to become rich in China.
It should have been just last year or the year before, when many self-employed people were still tinkering with common items like jeans and sunglasses, Li Huada set up a stall selling cold drinks at the busiest seaside spot in Beilan River.
This was the first cold drink machine in Beilanhe. It was very popular. At 20 cents a cup, it couldn't be sold out. The cold drink machine became a money-printing machine. Li Huada made more than 100,000 yuan in one summer.
But he only ran this profitable business for one summer, then sold the cold drink machine and exited the market.
According to him, cold drinks are easy to sell and people will flock to follow suit in the second year. By then, the price will be pushed down and cold drinks will not be so easy to sell.
Sure enough, the next year, hundreds of people selling cold drinks suddenly appeared on the beach.
This period should be when he opened a video hall. It seemed that he made over a million from opening the video hall. Then when his career was on track, he chose to study in Japan to broaden his horizons.
He was also very lucky to discover the product Nan Guang 010 in Tokyo, and earned 30 to 40 million US dollars by being an agent for Nan Guang 010.
Nan Yi had heard about Li Huada's story from a business friend in his previous life. His friend was familiar with Li Huada.
Li Huada is a relatively extroverted person. To put it bluntly, he is a person who likes to show off. He has flaunted his entrepreneurial history in front of people he knows countless times.
He was also the first person in the country to buy a Ferrari sports car through formal channels, and he had already gained a great reputation in the business circles of Beijing.
One is Li Huada, and the other is Li Chengru. One is the number one driver at Ferrari, and the other gets hundreds of dollars in tips in nightclubs. The two are known as the Two Lis of Beijing, and became a popular topic at the time.
It’s just that, two people who are equally ostentatious, one has the last laugh, while the other is just a flash in the pan.
"Interesting. Now that I have taken all the gold from Nanguang 010, what new opportunities will you have, Li Huada?"
Nan Yi does not think that without "Nanguan 010", Li Huada will not be able to reach the heights of his previous life. Looking at his entrepreneurial history, we can see that this person has a sharp eye and is very good at speculation. Every time his wealth increases, it comes from speculation.
It was not until his assets reached hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars that he finally settled down and focused on developing his business.
1984 was a turbulent and passionate year. The whole country was bathed in the slogan of "Let's go to the sea". All the young or not so young people were using such words to test and encourage each other.
The first of the three waves of people going into business after liberation will hit next year.
After nearly six years of preparation and agitation, the national business craze has finally arrived. Now a jingle has spread in the north: 900 million of the one billion people have failed, and 100 million are still looking for business.
According to a survey conducted by the China Youth Daily, the top three most popular occupations now are taxi driver, self-employed person and chef.
The options at the end were scientists, doctors, and teachers. It was at this time that ridiculous remarks such as "Those who repair brains are not as good as barbers" and "Making missiles is not as good as selling tea eggs" became popular.
After the New Year, the plan to build Nan's Hospital and domestic research institute can be implemented. "One ten thousand yuan household a year" and "In addition to the establishment, all top benefits are available". As long as these two slogans are put out, many people will come to join.
Nan Yi was sitting in the car thinking, and before he knew it, the car had arrived at Zhuyuan Hotel.
"Come pick me up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and take me to Yangcheng." After getting off the car, Nan Yi said to Chen Yuxiu.
"Okay, I'll be there on time."
…
On December 10, Nan Yi, who had returned to Beijing, rode a 28-inch bicycle and turned a corner to Zhongguancun.
Zhongguancun was not far from the old villa, and he rode for a while before arriving at the entrance of the Institute of Computing Technology.
With a creak, he stopped his bicycle and saw a man in his forties standing at the entrance of the Computing Institute. He looked similar to the man who wrote "Draw the sword into one piece, not to let down the youth". Both of them looked elegant and handsome. When they were young, they were probably a flower.
A middle-aged man was setting up a stall there, selling electronic watches and roller skates. It seemed like business was pretty good, with people stopping by from time to time to ask about the prices.
Nan Yi joined in the fun and pushed his cart to the front of the stall. He grabbed a few electronic watches and took a look. They were not imported products but domestically produced.
With just a few more glances, Nan Yi could tell where produced.
There are only three or four factories in mainland China that make electronic watches, two in Shencun, one in Dongguan, and the remaining one in Gucheng.
This watch is produced by the factory in Dongguan, which can be seen from the code on the watch cover.
The reason why this can be seen is that the manufacturing process of this batch of electronic watches is exactly the same as the batch that Men Saner sold.
Nanyi's original 1977 electronics factory stopped production after producing a batch of electronic watches and calculators. After a while, the machines were dismantled and sold to the Dongzhun factory.
"How much is this watch?"
"Eight."
"It's too expensive. Other places are selling it for five dollars. Will you sell it for five dollars? If you do, I'll take one dollar."
"Sell."
"Here's the money."
Nan Yi threw five dollars onto the stall, put the electronic watch in his pocket, and pushed the cart away.
Just by asking for prices back and forth, Nan Yi knew that the middle-aged man in front of him, Liu Meiliang, had no idea how to do the business of a street vendor, and didn't even know the basic bargaining skills. It was possible that he didn't understand any business at all.
I rode my bike to the electronics street, parked my bike on the side of the road, and walked into a store selling computers.
The shop looks quite big, about 60 to 70 square meters, but there are only two computers on display inside, one IBM PC/XT and the other also IBM PC/XT. One looks brand new, and the other looks used, so it's probably second-hand.
Nan Yi took a step forward and turned on the new computer. The term "computer" is actually not quite correct, now the mainstream calls this thing a computer.
The screen lit up, and the people in the store had seen Nan Yi's actions. A man who looked like a clerk walked towards Nan Yi, shouting, "Don't move. This one costs tens of thousands of dollars. You can't afford to pay for it if you break it."
Nan Yi pretended not to hear anything. He watched the DOS cursor appear and directly typed a string of letters on the rock-hard keyboard - Black sheep wall.
After the input, the computer didn't respond at all, just a string of letters flashed and the cursor moved to a new line.
Nan Yi then typed – Show me the money.
Well, there was still no response. Nan Yi quickly entered "restart" again. The screen shook and DOS started to restart.
"Hey, hey, hey, why don't you listen to me? It's 40,000 yuan per unit. If you break it, I can't afford the compensation even if I sell you..." The clerk had already walked to Nan Yi's side, looked at the screen that was lit up, and shouted angrily.
"Forty thousand, you are simply robbing. This thing only sells for a few thousand US dollars in China, which is less than three thousand RMB according to the exchange rate. You are selling it for forty thousand. How is this different from robbery?"
Seeing the clerk jumping up and down, Nan Yi jumped even higher than him.
