Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0497 International Sprayer
"Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to work with you."
In Mrs. Liu's living room in the old villa, Nan Ruoyin extended her little hand.
"I just became Mr. Chen just like that?"
Chen Feng stretched out his big hand, held Nan Ruoyin's small hand and shook it up and down.
After letting go of his hand, Chen Feng turned around and asked Nan Yi who was sitting on the sofa, "Did you come up with the name of the company?"
"Yes, any questions?"
"I understand international, but what does the troll in front of international mean?"
"Have you heard of Mawangdui discovered in 1951?" Nan Yi said seriously.
"I've heard of it, what's wrong?"
"In fact, as early as 1910, my great grandfather led people to explore this ancient tomb. At that time, he brought 749 highly skilled guards who were armed to the teeth."
"Is your great-grandfather a tomb robber?"
"No, he runs a tofu shop . The tofu produced by Nan's Tofu Shop is very famous in Shanghai. Many dignitaries love to eat the tofu made by our Nan family. If you don't eat it for one day, you will feel uncomfortable all over. If you don't eat it for two days, your body will feel like it's bitten by insects."
"Damn it, are you talking about tofu or opium?" Chen Feng spat.
Nan Ruoyin sat next to Nan Yi, looking at his face with a smile. She knew that her father was making up a story again.
"Don't interrupt, let me continue." Nan Yi waved his hand and continued, "The tofu shop was doing well, and my great-grandfather made a lot of money, so he bought a house and land, and even married my great-grandmother. Let me tell you, my great-grandmother's family was very impressive.
Her family genealogy can be traced back to Liangzhu, Zhejiang Province in 3300 BC, with a history of more than 4,000 years, which can be said to be a long history.
But it is very strange that after being passed down for more than 4,000 years, it was only passed down to the ninth generation by my great-grandmother's generation.
My great-grandmother knew very well how long her grandfather and father lived. The two of them only lived for about 90 years in total, but six generations spanned more than 4,000 years. It is obvious that one or several generations of my great-grandmother's ancestors mastered the magical power of immortality.
My great-grandmother was very confused about this, but my father passed away early and before he died he only gave her the family tree without leaving a single word.
My great-grandmother was born with intelligence, and she knew very well that the secret of the family tree could not be told to anyone, otherwise it would bring about a fatal disaster. She kept this secret deep in her heart, not even telling my great-grandfather.
Just like that, the two of them ran Nan's Tofu Shop together. The business became more and more prosperous, and its reputation grew bigger and bigger. Even South Korea knew the name of Nan's Tofu Shop.
One day, a goldfish named Turtle that the Dragon King raised died. He was very sad and tampered with the Rain Book..."
"Grandson, can you please get straight to the point instead of wandering around? It makes me anxious." Chen Feng was very dissatisfied with Nan Yidong's rambling.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you straight away." Nan Yi raised his hand and patted his thigh, "Last time, a South Korean came to Nan's Tofu Shop and wanted to learn how to make tofu from my great grandfather.
This South Korean man's surname is Li. He has a slight limp in his left leg and has been using a crutch all year round. Perhaps because he thought the wooden crutch would deteriorate too quickly, he made himself an iron crutch, so everyone calls him Iron Crutch Li Simida.
When my great-grandfather saw that he was a lame man, he felt pity for him and took Li Tieguai in. He also taught him everything he had learned.
It is a pity that Li Tieguai is dull in talent. Although he is very willing to learn, after three years of study, he has only learned less than one-tenth of the skills of my great-grandfather.
In the third year, a family letter came from Seoul saying that Tieguai Li's father had passed away, so he hurried back to attend the funeral. After that, he never came back.
Later, my great grandfather heard vaguely that Tieguai Li got into trouble with the law when he returned to Seoul and was thrown into prison. Later, I heard that after he was released from prison, he opened a tofu shop not far from the prison where he was imprisoned.
Prisons are all built in remote places with almost no people nearby. Tieguai Li's tofu shop has no business at all. Just as he was running his business day after day, a man who was released from prison at mealtime was so hungry that he ran to the tofu shop and bought several pieces of tofu and gobbled them up.
I don’t know why, but from here on, Tieguai Li’s business became better and better. People who had been released from prison often came to him to buy tofu, and people visiting prisoners would also come to him to bring a few pieces of tofu for their relatives who were imprisoned.
Gradually, there is a tradition in South Korea that people who are released from prison must eat a piece of tofu first. It is said that doing so means that they will live a clean life in the future.
The year came to 1910. My great-grandfather was preparing to open Nan’s Tofu Shop all over the world and build a tofu trust. At the door of the tofu shop, a man covered in wounds appeared. This man was Li Tieguai.
Tieguai Li was seriously injured at that time. He crawled all the way here with his last breath. When he saw my great-grandfather, he said nine words to him: Get off your horse, find the magic weapon, and defeat the Japanese.
After saying this, Tieguai Li died.
The meaning of these nine words is very straightforward, and my great-grandfather understood it immediately. There was a magic weapon in a place called Mawang that could restrain the Japanese.
First there was the Sino-Japanese War, and then there was the Russo-Japanese War. My great-grandfather hated the Japanese so much that when he knew there was such a magic weapon, of course he went to find it.
It only took my great-grandfather three days to figure out that "Ma Wang" was a reference to "Mawangdui". So, as I said at the beginning, my great-grandfather spent all his family wealth, hired forty-nine guards, and rushed to Mawangdui.
But none of the fifty people returned, and the so-called magic weapon was naturally not found, which led to our subsequent national disaster."
Nan Yi shook his head and said sadly, "My great-grandmother became ill from missing me and passed away soon after."
"That's all?" Chen Feng said with his eyes wide open: "Grandson, is this all you want me to hear?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? My mouth is dry. Let me drink some water first. I haven't finished yet." Nan Yi stood up and drank some water. Then he continued, "The time came to 1962. It was a very unusual morning. Eleven rays of light flew out from the eleven city gate towers: Zhengyangmen, Chongwenmen, Dongbianmen, Chaoyangmen, Dongzhimen, Xuanwumen, Xibianmen, Fuchengmen, Xizhimen, Andingmen, and Deshengmen.
These eleven rays of light flew into the sky and merged into one. It circled for a while above Baihuashenhu Hutong, then flew directly to Chuiyangliu and entered an ordinary family in the Erhua Family Compound.
Coincidentally, a baby was born in this family, and the rays of light penetrated into the baby's eyebrows and stayed in his mind.
This baby is incredible. As soon as he was born, he recited a poem: "In the depths of the flowers, all other flowers die. Only the winter plum blossoms bloom until their tails are seen. When the child's mind opens, everyone in the world will be from the Southern family."
When Nan Ruoyin heard the weird poem that Nan Yi recited, a wicked smile appeared on her face.
After Nan Yi finished reading the poem, he picked up the coaster on the coffee table and slapped it hard, "To know what happened next, please wait for the next chapter."
"You're just teasing me, you're only halfway through the story, you haven't told me what the magic weapon is, you haven't told me whether your grandmother has been resurrected, and you haven't explained why you're called a sprayer, and you want to end it right now?"
Although Nan Yi's story was full of loopholes, Chen Feng found it interesting and actually listened to it.
He was having a great time, and I told him that we would analyze it next time. How could he not get mad?
“Hahaha.” Nan Yi laughed loudly and spat, “Why are you in such a hurry? The rest of the story is not finished yet. Treat me to a good meal at noon and I will write it for you. It will definitely be a great experience for you.”
"If you don't invite me, I'll be upset. When I was a kid, my family was poor and we had no food to eat. When I grew up, life got better. But when I heard a story, I only got the first half and not the second half. I'm so unlucky."
"Poor as hell, stop talking nonsense and get down to business." Nan Yi straightened his face, suppressed his smirk and said, "Since Sprayer International has been established, you should also look for the first deal. A good start is still very important. If the first deal is handled well, the subsequent business will continue.
It would be best if we could release a big satellite to let everyone know that our international strength is top notch.”
Chen Feng nodded and said, "Give me a few days and I'll go find out."
"Okay, hurry up. My daughter Ruoyin has a business in Xiangkeng and her schedule is very tight. It costs tens of thousands of yuan per minute. You can't afford to waste her precious time."
"Don't just rush me, where are the company's staff?"
"Ruoyin, go to the utility room and get the flying monkey, and show Mr. Chen what 'one arrow pierces the clouds, thousands of troops rush to meet' means."
"Fuck you, you just forgot about it. You just said it yourself, don't talk nonsense."
"Stop coughing. You and Ruoyin discuss the details of the company. I'll be out for a while. Ruoyin, how about some noodles for lunch?"
"Dad, make some bean paste."
"Okay."
