Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0513: The Bad Horse Always Returns to its Past
"Uncle, since you like to watch it at your age, it must be good-looking."
The student was really sharp-tongued. His words directly hit Nan Yi hard. He had no choice but to accept it as four points. He took out two coins to pay the bill, and then Nan Yi squatted down against the wall.
"Campus belle, go call Hongdou and ask her to come back before the end of summer vacation." Nan Yi said without raising his head as he flipped through the picture book in his hand.
"good."
Flipping the pages, Nan Yi soon saw Wu Song swinging his fist at the tiger's head. His fist was already raised in the air. Just as he was about to see the fist landing on the tiger's head... it was gone. A page was missing.
Nan Yi looked at the page numbers and found that eight pages and four sheets were missing. There was no point in reading this.
Holding the comic book, Nan Yi came to the student and said, "Little boss, take a look at it yourself. There are several pages missing. How can you let me read it?"
The student took the comic book, glanced at it, and instantly his face was filled with heartache. Then he felt a little reluctant, then he became determined, reached out his hand to rummage in his schoolbag, and took out a two-cent coin, "Uncle, I'll give you two cents back."
"Don't refund the money. Let me read one book for free later."
The student smiled in surprise and said, "Okay, uncle, you can pick whatever you want."
Nan Yi picked up a book called "Ode to the Dragon River" and retreated to the wall. He originally wanted to let this student know the dangers of the business world, but then he thought better of it and decided to let him think that the world is a beautiful place.
The student in front of me was able to set up a bookstall. Either he had an uncle at home who loved comic books very much, or he was just smart and rented books from his classmates at school at a low price and made a profit from the difference.
The possibility of cooperating with classmates is not great. If a few little kids really set up a stall together, the business will not last more than three days and they will be taken back by their parents to make stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.
No matter which situation it is, this stall basically won’t last long. In the eyes of adults, this is not a proper job.
Nan Yi raised his head and glanced at the student, wondering which part of his body would be unlucky, would it be his ears pulled, or his face slapped, or he would be pressed on the bed and have his pants taken off and beaten like a pumpkin pie?
When the student was being abused in Nan Yi's mind, a woman came to Nan Yi.
The woman was holding a boy in her left hand and hugging another in her right hand.
The sunlight was blocked, so Nan Yi looked up. His brows furrowed as he looked at it. He sighed in his heart, "Things never develop in the direction that I hope for the most."
The person in front of Nan Yi was Li Lamei. Although she had her hair down and combed on both sides, he could still see that there was a bruise on Li Lamei's left cheek, which was obviously caused by being beaten.
Li Lamei does not live in this area, so the possibility of meeting Nan Yi here by chance is extremely low. Most likely, she came directly for Nan Yi.
"Looking for me?"
"Um."
Li Lamei responded in a low voice.
"Was he beaten by Wang Polan?"
"Um."
"Whose fault is it?"
“…”
Li Lamei did not answer Nan Yi's question, but just lowered her head even more, and her hair brushed against the head of Wang Bi who was in her arms.
Seeing Li Lamei's actions, Nan Yi stopped asking questions and lowered his head to continue flipping through his picture book.
"I…I want to see Tails."
Nan Yi raised his head again and said gloomily, "Are you short of money?"
Seeing Nan Yi's face suddenly turn cloudy, Li Lamei shuddered and denied in panic: "No...no, I just want to see her."
Suspiciously looking at Li Maomei's face again and again, Nan Yi had a bad feeling and asked tentatively: "Where is the shareholding document I gave you?"
"I...I..." Li Lamei said with evasive eyes.
Seeing how Li Lamei behaved, Nan Yi guessed that the "holding document on behalf of others" must have fallen into the hands of someone else.
Regarding this speculation, regardless of whether it has become an established fact, Nan Yi is not panicked at all. Whether the "proxy holding document" is valid or not depends entirely on his will. If he says it is valid, it is valid, and if he says it is invalid, it is invalid.
Not to mention the "document of holding shares on behalf of others", relevant arrangements had been made when it was first issued, and the initiative is in Nan Yi's hands. Let's just say it's only 0.5% of the shares, and whoever really wants to transfer it can do so.
After the transfer is completed today, Nan Yi will have people carry out a series of operations tomorrow to make Ruoyin Catering insolvent and show that it owes billions of US dollars in debt. Whoever wants to become a shareholder will just have to claim the debt in proportion.
It is not easy to be a small shareholder of a non-listed company. The major shareholder will play tricks and you will be sold out in minutes and still count money for others.
Nan Yi was very curious, who got the proxy document?
He thought about it for a moment, and soon the name of an old friend whom he had just reviewed yesterday popped up in his mind.
"Have you met Zhou Maode?"
"Um?"
Li Lamei's face was full of surprise and her eyes were full of confusion. She couldn't figure out how Nan Yi guessed it.
"Are you asleep?" Nan Yi asked with a playful look on his face.
Li Lamei lowered her head even lower, and made a sound like a mosquito flying low, "Hmm!"
"How long ago was it?"
“…”
"I'm asking you a question. It's not uncommon for old love to rekindle." Nan Yi said heavily.
"Three...three months ago."
Zhou Maode obviously looked down on Li Lamei, otherwise he would not have dumped her in the first place. Moreover, it is unlikely that Zhou Maode's taste suddenly changed after a few years and he began to like Li Lamei.
Zhou Maode and Li Lamei are together again, probably with ulterior motives.
Nan Yi reasoned according to the logic of a lame story and said, "Mahjong, betting, Pai Gow, money stall, tell me, which one does Wang Polan play?"
Li Lamei opened her mouth wide, stood there in a daze, looking at Nan Yi in disbelief.
"Mute, speak."
"Mahjong."
“Hehehehe!”
Nan Yi laughed sarcastically, stood up, and took out ten dollars from his pocket.
Just as he was about to throw the money on the ground, seeing Wang Ge and Wang Bi hugging each other and hanging on the ground, Nan Yi stopped the humiliating behavior and stuffed the money directly into Li Lamei's hand.
Walking towards the bookstall and returning the picture book, Nan Yi walked away with brisk steps, ignoring the stunned Li Lamei.
Zhou Maode’s appearance was very good news for Nan Yi.
In fact, Nan Yi has always been a little cautious about Zhou Maode. Regardless of whether Zhou Maode is a competent father or a bastard, the blood relationship and father-daughter relationship between him and Nan Ruoyin are unquestionable.
Nan Yi could suppress Zhou Maode and deny him the opportunity to climb up, but he couldn’t go straight to the dragon’s lair and kill him with one stick.
Ever since he couldn't find any evidence of Zhou Maode having affairs with other women during college, Nan Yi had never made any plans to kill him outright, all because he had to consider Nan Ruoyin.
"It's good now. This grandson took the initiative to jump out. It seems that he has set his sights on Ruoyin. Haha, grandson, I'll let your daughter come and play with you."
Nan Yi was not worried at all that Nan Ruoyin was no match for Zhou Maode, not to mention that Nan Ruoyin had the unique skill of "one force defeats ten skills".
She has money. The little girl can count her belongings and find that she has tens of millions of dollars. She also has connections. The Xiaonan Office can provide strategic support, the Human Cannon Squad can provide military support, and she can always act like a spoiled child and ask Liang Huiwen for help. The entire Intelligence and Policy Committee can back her up.
With all these things happening, how could Zhou Maode play with her?
Just because he is a graduate of Peking University, how could he degenerate into being a hanger-on for a low-level character like Yang Shanqing?
Nan Yi doesn't look down on being a hanger-on. He thinks being a lackey is a shortcut to success.
But no matter what, a good bird chooses the right tree to roost in, and if it wants to climb, it has to climb high branches.
After hanging up the phone with Nan Ruoyin, Nan Yi waited for her to come over while he continued to do what he was supposed to do.
As for Xu Qian, Nan Yi has ignored her for several days, and it's time to meet her and her fiancé.
Nan Yi came to the Friendship Hotel, found the front desk, and asked the front desk to call Xu Qian's room. Then Nan Yi went to the cafe and found a seat to sit down.
Nan Yi casually ordered a cup of coffee and drank it while waiting slowly.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Nan Yi saw Xu Qian and a man who was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, had long hair parted in the middle, was medium-fat, and wore frameless glasses, which were rare nowadays, walking towards him.
Nan Yi was a little unsure about the age. If a man was a little fat, his age would be a little mysterious. The same person, the same face, could be said to be in his thirties or forties, or seventeen or eighteen.
Nan Yi's judgment of Liu Zhenping's age was based on the fact that he already knew his real age. Generally speaking, it should be similar.
Seeing the two people coming, Nan Yi pulled his clothes, stood up and greeted them with a smile.
In fact, on the day Xu Qian went to the old house, Nan Yi could have taken time to meet and chat with Liu Zhenping, but he deliberately left the two of them alone for a few days. He wanted to see how Liu Zhenping would behave after being left out by him.
"Hello, Mr. Liu, I'm so sorry. I've been busy with other things and can only spare the time today. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." When the two met, Nan Yi extended his hand to Liu Zhenping, saying some polite words full of apology.
"It's okay. I've heard from Xu Qian that your wife is pregnant. It's understandable that Mr. Nan can't spare the time."
Liu Zhenping smiled widely and spoke Mandarin very well, with no detectable accent. His Mandarin was much better than Xu Qian's Minnan accent.
"It's a shame, it's a shame, Mr. Liu, please take a seat, Xu Qian, please take a seat."
Nan Yi invited the two to sit down, and called the waiter over. He exchanged pleasantries, ordered drinks for them, and chatted about some meaningless things, such as where they had visited in the past two days, what was going on in the Forbidden City, and what was going on in Badaling.
Opening remarks are usually meaningless, but indispensable, just like a gentleman will take off his pants before farting, it's all about etiquette.
"Mr. Liu, Xu Qian said that you want to go to Indonesia to acquire rubber plantations. I wonder where your main destination is? Sumatra or Kalimantan? Are the main acquisition targets small plantation owners, state-owned or private?"
Nan Yi's two questions seemed simple, but they implicitly told Liu Zhenping and others that he had a certain understanding of the situation in the Indonesian rubber plantations.
The owners of the largest natural rubber plantations in Indonesia are small planters, accounting for about 80% of the total production. State-owned enterprises account for less than 10%, and private enterprises account for more than 10%.
If Liu Zhenping said that his merger targets were private companies, Nan Yi could have a chat with him; if the merger targets were state-owned companies, then they could have an in-depth chat; if the merger targets were small gardeners, then there was no need to chat at all.
