Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0446 Two Crimes
After staying in the kitchen for a while, Nan Yi got the name and address written by Luo Kun and left the kitchen.
Elizabeth's form was already filled out. Nan Yi took it and looked at it, then pointed to the NI area and said, "Your NI [National Insurance Number] is not written."
"Don't we have to pay taxes here on Julu Street?" Elizabeth asked.
"I don't care whether others pay or not. I will pay here, but you don't have to worry. You get paid after tax, 85 pence per hour. You can come at noon and evening, or just choose one meal to come. If you can't come on a certain day, please call in advance."
"clear."
"It's okay. If you have any questions, ask Penny and Dai."
"OK!"
Elizabeth agreed readily and walked towards Street. She probably really didn't want to be a punk girl anymore. The change was quite thorough. I just hope it's not a flash in the pan.
Elizabeth is very pleasing to the eye, and even if nothing happens between you and her, it's still a pleasure to look at her; besides, having a beautiful woman in the store can increase sales to a certain extent.
After a while, Longmenzhen started to receive customers. Nan Yi did not go to help out as he did at noon. He just stayed in the corner of the cash register, leaving the cash register seat vacant. He left everything to Dai Xiuxiu and the other three to operate.
Nan Yi was paying attention to every move in the store while looking at the "Financial Weekly" in his hand.
Just now when he was buying a newspaper at the intersection of Juelu Street, Nan Yi discovered this weekly magazine. The bold words on the cover attracted him. It said "List of Top 100 Companies in Hong Kong". After seeing that the date was last week, he bought the magazine.
After flipping through it, he quickly found the so-called top 100 directory and started reading it.
HSBC Bank ranks first with a market value of HK$284.2 billion. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSBC Holdings and the largest bank in Hong Kong. It has more than 6,000 employees and more than 240 offices in Asia. It holds 51% of Hang Seng Bank and holds...
The weekly magazine listed the names of dozens of companies, and there was even a "etc." at the end.
Ranked second is Jardine Matheson. Nan Yi directly skipped the market value figure and looked at other content. The figures listed above were too unreliable. As far as he knew, HSBC's market value was far more than 200 billion.
Jardine Matheson owns Hong Kong Land Development, Dairy Farm, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Jardine Insurance, Jardine Motors and many more.
The third is Swire Properties, Cathay Pacific Airways, Swire Shipping, Swire Dockyard, Swire Beverages, etc.
Fourth, Hutchison Whampoa, which owns Hutchison Ports, Hutchison Whampoa Properties and Watsons.
Fifth Land Company is a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson.
6. Hang Seng Bank, the second largest commercial bank in Hong Kong, has...
Seventh Wheelock...
Nan Yi continued reading and saw that the companies listed below were basically real estate companies, including Changjiang, Yellow River, and Hutchison Whampoa, all of which were well-known enterprises.
At the 67th position, Nan Yi saw the Fang Group. The market value written on it was 620 million Hong Kong dollars. He didn’t know how this market value was calculated. The only subsidiaries disclosed by the Fang Group to the public were Fang’s Taxi Company, Fang’s Construction and Childhood Group.
Fang's Taxi Company has a lot of taxi licenses. Although the price of licenses has risen again in the past two years, even if you inflate the calculation, you can only barely calculate a market value of 100 million.
Most of the properties held by Fang Construction are hidden. Although there are various rumors outside that this building belongs to Fang and that building belongs to Fang, no matter how you calculate, you can only calculate a market value of 400 million at most;
As for the Childhood Group, it’s better not to say anything about it, as it’s still an empty shell.
After reading the table of contents, Nan Yi threw the weekly magazine aside. The data was not very meaningful, and the Fang Group was listed on it, which made him very unhappy.
Now that we have the top 100 companies, I guess having tasted the sweetness of sales, the next step for the financial weekly will be to create a Hong Kong rich list.
For something like the rich list, most of those who are qualified don't want to be on it, but those who are not qualified are eager to be on it, even if it means giving money to the person who made the list just to take a look.
There is a saying that goes, rich people are generous and stingy, while poor people are cautious and generous.
This sentence is also applicable between different businessmen. Those who have enough money in their accounts will make everything as comfortable as possible, whether it is the office space, the car, food, clothing or other expenses.
If there is a shortage of money in the account, it is not like this. The office must be exquisite, the scene must be big and grand, the car must be luxurious, and the food, clothing and daily necessities must be high-end.
In short, make yourself look like a respectable person and entertain guests in a very respectful manner.
But once we ask him to transfer the money, he would delay it from today to tomorrow, and from tomorrow to the day after tomorrow. Funds are occupied by a project here, and funds cannot be transferred to a project there. He says a lot of beautiful things, but no real action can be seen.
This kind of people are often leveraged karate businessmen. If things go well, it is not impossible for them to turn 300 to 500 million into trillions. However, wherever they step, they leave behind a lot of bad checks and business contracts that no one will accept even if they offer a huge discount.
Businessmen like this are particularly concerned about rankings on rich lists and titles like the richest man, because they need this kind of false reputation to keep their karate moves going.
Nan Yi was just thinking about what kind of chain reaction Fang Mengyin's name appearing on the rich list would cause, when the school beauty walked directly to him from outside the store and whispered in his ear: "Target number five has gone to the airport and is flying to Hong Kong."
"Well, keep an eye on it."
The people of the Wu family were given code names of "target number" according to their importance: Wu Zaisheng was first, Wu Jingyuan was second, Wu Zhenkai was third, Wu Fuye was fourth, Wu Zhenlin was fifth, the housekeeper Ada was sixth, Wu Guotao was seventh, and Liu Agui was eighth...
Wu Zhenlin was ranked fifth because he was a member of the Wu family, otherwise his code name might have been after Wu Guotao. But now this Wu Zhenlin, who had little presence, actually flew to Xiangkeng.
Wu Zhenlin manages a gallery called Yajing. This gallery is not big, it can even be said to be very small, so small that Nan Yi can ignore it. The gallery has no business outside of Eagle Country. Logically, Wu Zhenlin has no need to go on a business trip to Xiangkeng. Is he going to visit a friend?
It is impossible to visit relatives because the Wu family has no relatives in Xiangkeng. Although Wu Zhenlin is married, his wife is a foreigner from Holland and she also has no relatives in Xiangkeng.
Among Wu Jingyuan's three grandsons, Nan Yi has always ignored the existence of Wu Zhenlin. He has read the investigation report and summarized his evaluation as "mediocre". But now he is suddenly going to fly to Xiangkeng, which makes Nan Yi have a bad premonition. He always feels that there will be a "big surprise" waiting for him.
"In the battle for the throne among the nine dragons, the Fourth Master's party was not very active at the beginning, while the Eighth Master's party was the most active, punching the Great Thousand Years Old Party, kicking the Prince's Party, and the Third Master's Party, but in the end, they got nothing. Could Wu Zhenlin be a Yongzheng-style figure?"
Nan Yi thought about it and decided to raise the level of importance he attached to Wu Zhenlin.
It is quite contradictory. Nan Yi hopes that Wu Zhenlin can give him a surprise so as to speed up the "overthrow of Wu" movement; but he is also worried that Wu Zhenlin's surprise is not what he wants to see.
"Adam, what are you thinking about?"
While Nan Yi was thinking, Catherine walked up to him and waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Why are you here?" Nan Yi frowned.
Catherine pouted and said, "I missed you. I haven't seen you for several days."
"Sorry, I have a girlfriend. My girlfriend's name is Sanjing Azusa." Nan Yi finished speaking, and then lowered his voice and said, "I really like the way your brain is filled with love, but not now, not here."
"I know. Here, Azusa Mitsui is your girlfriend. As her friend, can't I come over to see you?"
"Of course, but you should change your expression. Well, you haven't eaten yet, I'll accompany you to eat." Nan Yi walked out of the cashier counter and walked to Catherine and said.
"Okay, I'm going to the sketching classroom."
"No, I haven't heard of this restaurant."
"In Mayfair, in a pink restaurant, a restaurant that every girl in London wants a boy to take her to."
"OK, let's go there then."
Nan Yi liked Catherine's current look as a love-struck girl. It was completely different .
Men all have two major hobbies - to make decent women cheat and to persuade prostitutes to become good women.
Nan Yi's hobby is a little distorted. He likes the occasional cuteness of a domineering president, and he also likes the occasional domineering of a cute and delicate woman. Or to put it more vividly, he likes women to break through their original inherent personalities when treating him, to make a drastic subversion and show a completely different side.
This will give him a sense of freshness!
