Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0428: Find Time to Get Married
After thinking for a while, Nan Yi figured out the problem.
There are two reasons to convince us: first, China has foreign investment and needs to introduce some Western-style restaurants to provide services for them; second, there is the demand for foreign exchange. Since the country is positioned to serve foreigners, then when foreigners go to Wonderful to consume, they naturally have to use foreign exchange coupons.
With these two reasons, Wonderful will basically be allowed to enter China.
Once the store opens, it will be impossible to put up a brand that Chinese people cannot enter and consume. Wonderful will not agree, the joint venture partner will not agree, and the Chinese people will not agree.
It is only natural to open the door and welcome guests from all over the world.
Nan Yi called Wonderford's president, Cooper Garans, and asked him to make plans for Wonderford to enter China and South Korea. As for Japan, Nan Yi gave up directly.
McDonald's entered Japan early, and KFC followed closely behind. The two companies have been developing in Japan for decades. However, compared with other countries, McDonald's development in Japan can only be described as mediocre, and KFC can even be described as bleak.
Land and housing prices in Japan are growing rapidly, which is the reason why McDonald's can continue to take root. It is well known that selling hamburgers is actually a side business for McDonald's, and real estate is its main business.
As for KFC not withdrawing, it is because McDonald's is there. Where there is McDonald's, there must be KFC, even if it is less profitable.
KFC has been the second largest restaurant chain for decades, being dominated by McDonald's. It has been trying hard to surpass McDonald's. Originally, when it came to China, KFC had a chance to turn things around, but with the variable of Wonderfood, it may not be able to maintain its second place position in China.
On May 14, Nan Yi flew back to Beijing.
May 16th.
When Nan Yi and Liu Zhen got married, the banquet was held in Duanjinlou. Not too many guests were invited, there was one table for the bride's family, two tables for Nan's relatives, and two tables for Erhua.
Mao Liangzhuo, a classmate of Nan Yi and Liu Zhen , invited all the guests who stayed in Beijing and its surrounding areas. Those who lived too far away had to set a date and sent them wedding bags, so they had no time to take a bus to come.
Nan Yi, who has participated in many weddings and heard the voices of countless victims, knows that most people hate attending weddings. So he simply becomes the bad guy and leaves the chance to be a good guy to others.
In addition, there was another table with Lai Biao, Lai Huri, Jiang Xuening, Chen Feng, Chen Dan and Nie Kai. Xu Li, who was in London, was not convenient to return home, so she was not invited.
May 18th, return visit.
Arrived in Tin Shui Wai on May 20th.
May 21st was another good day. We had a buffet in Tin Shui Wai, a real buffet. The banquet started at 3pm and the tables were turned over three times in a row.
There were five or six hundred people who came to the banquet in Tin Shui Wai. They were told that red envelopes were not allowed, but no one came empty-handed. I guess they had discussed it privately and each of them gave a red envelope of fifty yuan, so a total of about two hundred red envelopes were collected.
Everyone in the village committee received a red envelope that was one in a thousand.
In Nanchen Village, Chen Zongqing led the team. The main figures of the village, as well as people from Yangcheng and Shencun, came. Each of them gave a red envelope of 100 yuan. Chen Zongqing also presented a golden rat on behalf of Nanchen Village, weighing 88.8 liang (10 qian is 1 liang, 1 liang is 31.25 grams, equivalent to 2775 grams).
In addition to the people from the two villages, the guests also included those who had been sent to the educated youth center, Zhao Hongzhuang, Li Hai, Qu Jing, Lin Guangwei, as well as Ke Jianzhen and Sun Muxi and his wife. Nan Yi did not inform Jiang Biyun.
Lin Guangwei packed a red box for Nan Yi, a cardboard box covered with red paper on the outside, which contained 300,000 yuan and some miscellaneous gifts, most of which were prepared for children.
Of the three hundred thousand, eighty-eight thousand were tied up with red paper strips.
The meaning is very clear. The 212,000 is to repay Nan Yi, and the 88,000 is a red envelope.
Apparently, he has made some money in the past two years.
After the last group of guests had eaten and drunk their fill and were taken to a hotel in the city by a rented bus, Nan Yi finally had time to pee, put the wine and water he had drunk in a line, and sit down to eat something.
Lin Guangwei didn't leave. When Nan Yi was eating, he sat beside him and smoked. After Nan Yi had filled his stomach and drank two sips of tea to relieve his tension, he said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
"Nan Yi, do you still remember Lai Jihua?"
"Remember, you saw him?"
"He is in Yangcheng."
"Oh, what are you doing?"
"Loan sharking."
"What a disgrace ." Nan Yi muttered, "I never asked about the details of your trip to Shencun Bay. Today I want to ask, why did Ke Hongxing die?"
"I don't know. When we approached the beach, we were spotted by military dogs. I was responsible for leading the dogs away, but I was caught not long after. I didn't even go into the water." Lin Guangwei took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Later, I asked Qu Jing, but she didn't know clearly either.
The four of them separated as soon as they got into the water. Li Hai and Qu Jing went one way, while Lai Jihua and Ke Hongxing went the other way. Qu Jing and the others were arrested and put into a refugee camp as soon as they got ashore, and they never saw Lai Jihua again.
"How many inner tubes did you get?"
"Two. I took one and Li Hai took one. I gave my one to Lai Jihua."
Nan Yi thought about it and realized that Ke Hongxing could swim, but her physical strength was not enough to support her to swim to the other side. If Lai Jihua had occupied the inner tube alone, Ke Hongxing would have drowned.
Even if Lai Jihua didn't do anything bad, it would be difficult for her to swim to the other side unless he helped Ke Hongxing.
As long as Lai Jihua didn't intend to get rid of Ke Hongxing, Nan Yi had no right to blame him. Back then, when Lin Guangwei and his friends wanted to flee to Hong Kong, he knew that their lives were uncertain, but he didn't stop them.
At that time, Nan Yi felt that he had no right and no obligation to stop it.
He couldn't guarantee that staying would be better than swimming to the other side. Besides, everyone was an adult and had to be responsible for the decisions they made.
"Let's not talk about Lai Jihua, tell me what business you are doing now."
"Does the curler know?"
"I know. Are you selling or running a factory?"
"At first I sold perfumed goods, and the sales were good, so I raised money to set up a factory. I made around ten yuan a month."
"You're such a piece of shit. How come you're learning to be like the dwarf mule in Xiangkeng? Ten thousand is ten thousand, and it's still a fucking piece of shit." Nan Yi scolded with a smile.
"Boss, the factory is a partnership with someone else, a small boss in Xiangkeng. We often hang out together, so naturally my speech is influenced by him."
"Fuck, your Yang Pu Jia Gang Pu gives me goose bumps."
"Haha, I deal with people from Hong Kong every day, and then I have to do business with northerners like you. My accent has become so messed up." Lin Guangwei said with a smile.
"It's getting late. I won't waste my time talking to you. I'll ask someone to drive you back to the city. Your curling iron business is going to be less and less profitable. When you decide to start another business, remember to talk to me.
Don't be so stubborn. I asked you to go to the capital to find me, but you didn't come."
"Okay, I know, are you ready to have the baby's full moon banquet?" Lin Guangwei raised his hands and patted his red cheeks. He drank a lot just now.
"I don't know yet, we'll see. The due date is basically in late September, a few days earlier or later, at most it will be delayed to early October. October or November is almost the end of the year, and everyone will be busy by then."
"I don't care about others. If you want to have a banquet, I will definitely come, no matter how busy I am."
"Okay, for what you said, I will set up a separate table for you. When the time comes, I will give my child an 800-jin longevity lock."
"What a crazy line, dreaming."
Amidst laughter and scolding, Nan Yi sent Lin Guangwei to the car...
