Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0474: Twists and Turns
Little girl, you get angry quickly and get over it quickly.
After a while, she snuggled into Nan Yi's arms again and watched TV series with him.
"Dad, what are you going to do tomorrow?"
"Do you know how Dad came back this time?"
"I know. Didn't you say you were here to inspect a project?"
"Yes, I've been back for two or three days. I need to finalize the project. Tomorrow morning, you and Dad will go back to Wenchangwei and accompany me to look at the accounts. In the afternoon, depending on the situation, you can either accompany Dad to Yangcheng to meet a friend, or we can go back to Xiangkeng to keep busy."
"Oh, Dad, what project are you going to do?"
"Dad has a few options in mind, but I haven't decided which one to use. Do you remember the story Dad told you about the Japanese water-to-oil thing?"
"Remember, Ben Doweifu."
"Yes, that's him." Nan Yi nodded and said, "But I'm very dissatisfied with your reaction. I mentioned Ben Duowei Fu, but you didn't extend the topic at all. It means you didn't read the newspaper seriously. Dad asked people to send newspapers from all over the country to Xiangkeng, which will cost a lot of manpower and financial resources. Don't waste resources."
"Dad, what do you want me to say? Say that there is also a Benduowei rich man No. 2 in Bingcheng?"
Nan Yi stroked Nan Ruoyin's head and scolded with a smile: "You have seen it, so why are you pretending to be with your father?"
"Humph, how would I know that's what you want to hear, Dad? He's just a little liar, what's there to say?" Nan Ruoyin curled her lips and said, "A bus driver invented a way to turn water into oil, and some people actually believed it. Is this a distortion of human nature, a loss of IQ, or an unprecedented progress of folk science?"
"Say less weird things, look at the problem objectively, analyze it from the perspective of interests, and you will be able to see clearly what is right and what is wrong." Nan Yi patted Nan Ruoyin's little face and said.
"Hmm?" Nan Ruoyin turned to look at Nan Yi and said, "Dad, you're not trying to turn water into oil, are you?"
"What do you think of your father? Am I so dirty?"
“It’s hard to say.”
Nan Yi stretched his hands under Nan Ruoyin's armpits and tickled her. Nan Ruoyin turned left and right and giggled non-stop.
“Dad, I was wrong… hehe… stop tickling me.”
"See if you act naughty again next time. Is it easy for your dad to raise you? In your eyes, your dad is a bad guy?"
"Hehehe... Not bad, not bad, Dad is a good man."
"Come on, either flatter me or insult my dad." Nan Yi stroked Nan Ruoyin's back to slow her breathing.
After a while, Nan Ruoyin recovered.
"Dad, there is actually some benefit in turning water into oil, right?"
"Of course there are benefits, but they are not worth our efforts. This happened in the mainland. Even if we put aside nationality, we only consider the benefits. Due to the lack of financial markets, the benefits that can be generated by turning water into oil are very limited. I estimate that hundreds of millions are already amazing, and we can get even less.
Moreover, this matter will most likely be classified as a fraud in the end, and the money earned will definitely be recovered. It would be a waste of time to go around in circles.
Ruoyin, we have to do what we should do and not do what we shouldn't do. If we want to gain great benefits, we must take risks, but taking risks doesn't mean we should take unnecessary risks.
It doesn't matter if you lose some money. If you lose it today, you can earn it back tomorrow. But you can't risk losing your reputation, freedom and life. Once your reputation is ruined, it will take twice as much effort to rebuild it. Let alone freedom and life. You only have one life, and if it's gone, it's gone.
You, Dad knows you are very smart, but you can't be too smart. Dad doesn't want to send you off when you are young."
"Dad, you're not right. It will take decades for your hair to turn white."
"Haha, Dad wants you to remember this for a long time. You, whether now or in the future, don't take risks with your life, okay?"
"I know. Uncle Gewu and the others follow me wherever I go. I won't be like the young lady in the movie and deliberately avoid my bodyguards. That's something only a mentally ill person would do. Dad, I have a question for you."
"Ask."
"In the old plays, there were stories of talented men and beautiful women. The heroines were all young ladies, and the heroes were often teachers. Then the young lady fell in love with the teacher, and they eloped. Why did the story develop like this? Could a rich lady really fall in love with a poor scholar?"
"It's possible for a young lady to fall in love with a poor teacher . Think about it, young ladies in the past stayed in the backyard, never leaving the house, and apart from their father, brothers, and relatives, they hardly had contact with other men.
You say, it's a rare opportunity to see a man who is different from his family. Wouldn't the young lady, who usually secretly reads books about talented men and beautiful women, not be tempted by love?
However, the probability of this happening is not high. Basically, the eldest daughter will fall in love with her cousin. You will understand why most of the male protagonists in operas are teachers if you think about it. "
Nan Ruoyin thought for a moment and said, "Because the play was written by a poor scholar?"
"Yes, it's fantasy. Imagine a poor scholar writing a storybook with an empty stomach in a leaky house. Imagine putting your short and ugly self into the role of the male lead. Just thinking about it makes you happy. The cold water in the bowl turns into nectar, and the bowl of porridge that can't even hold chopsticks can turn into abalone, shark's fin and bird's nest."
"Hehehe, Dad, what you said is so funny, just like a crosstalk." Nan Ruoyin said with a smile.
"Little girl, you've dragged dad into a trap. Your ability to change the subject has greatly improved. Dad has been fooled by you." Nan Yi suddenly realized that Nan Ruoyin was deliberately changing the subject.
“Hehehe.”
Nan Ruoyin moved her body left and right, found the most comfortable position, and lay down comfortably to watch TV.
Nan Yi did not pursue Nan Ruoyin's clever move and watched TV quietly with her.
…
The next day, early in the morning, Nan Yi took Nan Ruoyin across the border and returned to Wenchangwei.
When the two sat down at the village committee, it was only 7:30 in the morning, and Xian Jimin and Xian Yaowei had already placed the account book on the glass mat of the desk.
After flipping through 60% of the account book, Nan Yi found something wrong with it. "Jimin, explain to me which factory these receipts belong to."
Xian Jimin walked up to Nan Yi, looked at the account Nan Yi pointed out, and explained: "This is the collection of Zili Trading Company, which is registered."
"It's a trading company. Whose company is it in the village?"
“Not from the village.”
"Oh, whose relative is that?"
Xian Jimin stammered, "He's not anyone's relative."
Nan Yi closed the account book, his face cold, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, and said, "Tell me, who is the relationship."
"It was arranged by Yaodong." Xian Yaowei said.
"Ma Zili is his friend?"
"No, it's because of Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu introduced me here."
"What kind of business is Zili Trading?" Nan Yi asked without changing his expression.
"I make a lot of different things, bicycles, motorcycles, home appliances, whatever I can get my hands on."
"Oh, I see. Jimin, go call some people and prepare for the meeting. Oh, and ask Uncle Xian to call Aunt Zhang Yu as well." Nan Yi looked at his watch and said, "It's 7:52 now. We'll start at 8:30."
"Okay, I'll go call him." Xian Jimin agreed and walked outside.
Nan Yi also stood up and took Nan Ruoyin to the edge of a patch of sawgrass in the eastern corner of the threshing ground. The edges of the sawgrass leaves were very sharp and could not be pulled, otherwise it would easily cut your hands.
Nan Yi carefully tore off two long leaves that were like swords and handed one to Nan Ruoyin.
As soon as Nan Ruoyin took the leaf, she tore a thirty-centimeter slit between the two petals attached to the stem, then clamped the torn leaf between her fingers, pointed the stem in one direction, looked up and said, "Dad, let's see who can shoot farther."
"OK."
Nan Yi did the same thing and quickly pinched the leaf between his fingers. He pulled the leaf with his other hand, and the stem in the middle swayed up and down and flew out.
Nan Ruoyin also pulled, and the stalk in her hand also flew out.
"Haha, Dad, I can fly farther than you." Seeing her stem flying farther, Nan Ruoyin jumped up.
"Okay, you win, but unfortunately there is no prize."
"There's a prize. The little bird is congratulating me." Nan Ruoyin pointed to a yellow bird in the sawgrass and said, "Dad, look, it's a brown-backed shrike."
"Oh, that's right, you know the scientific name of this bird, but I don't know it, Dad. I only know its common name is Hainan pigeon [jú]."
"Hehe, I have read a book on bird encyclopedia." Nan Ruoyin said happily. She seemed very happy that she knew knowledge that Nan Yi didn't know.
"sharp."
Nan Yi praised Nan Ruoyin, then bent down, pulled two blades of grass from the ground, handed one to Nan Ruoyin and took the other for himself, crossed the two blades of grass together, and then the two of them pinched the two ends of the grass and pulled them in two directions.
Snap!
Nan Yi used some skill and the grass in his hand broke in the middle.
Nan Yi lost again because of the veteran, which made Nan Ruoyin even more happy.
After spending half an hour outside, Nan Yi took Nan Ruoyin back to the village committee office. As soon as he stood at the door, Nan Yi took a look inside the office.
Zhang Yuchun, who attended the village committee meeting for the first time, was in high spirits and looked very ambitious. The others, on the other hand, looked calm as usual.
Nan Yi sat in his seat and asked Nan Ruoyin to move a stool and sit next to him.
"I have limited time today. I have to go to Yangcheng at noon. Uncle Xian, Uncle Yaohua, let's go over the work as quickly as possible and leave some time. I want to talk about something."
"Okay, then I'll tell you quickly." Xian Yaodong responded and immediately started talking about village affairs.
Xian Yaodong said, Xian Yaohua and Ge Cuizhu added, that in an hour and a half, the village's business was reviewed and Nan Yi had expressed his opinions.
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about business matters, let me talk about something else." After finishing his business, Nan Yi tapped the table slowly with his fingers and said, "When I was looking at the account book just now, I found that there was a new affiliated unit in the village. What was it called?"
Nan Yi patted his forehead, looked at Xian Jimin and said, "It's called Zili Commercial, right?"
Xian Jimin replied, "Yes, self-employed business."
"Oh, look at my memory. I just forgot what I saw." Nan Yi paused and asked, "How much is the annual registration fee?"
Seeing Nan Yi acting pretentiously, Nan Ruoyin pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing out loud. Her father had a very good memory and remembered everything that happened a few years ago clearly. How could he forget something that happened half an hour ago?
"Eight thousand."
"Oh, that's great. You're almost a millionaire." Nan Yi nodded and said, "Very good. This can be considered as opening up a new way to make money. However..."
Nan Yi deliberately dragged out the tone, waiting for someone to support him.
"Nan Yi, but what?" Zhang Yu asked anxiously.
Since this matter concerns him, Zhang Yu naturally cares about it.
"Aunt, don't worry, I'll tell you right away." Nan Yi turned around and looked at Zhang Yu and smiled.
