Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0537 Poaching
The food at the Great Wall Hotel is too expensive. Nan Yi and his friends cannot eat every meal in the hotel, let alone make it a routine.
Not only does Wu Shiqi receive a salary from the foreign enterprise service company, but Genzhengmiaohong also gives her an additional 60 yuan per month, as well as miscellaneous subsidies, which add up to more than a hundred yuan.
If her meal allowance were still provided at the Great Wall Hotel, the benefits would be outrageously high.
If we shift time and space, it means that in 2022, Wu Shiqi's working meal standard is set at 3,500 yuan per meal. Nan Yi cannot afford such a high standard, so whoever can afford it can pay for it.
In fact, Nan Yi himself was reluctant to eat more at the Great Wall Hotel. It was too expensive and no one could afford it.
You can order a "book" at a restaurant with a hundred yuan and get change. If you want to show off, don't do it like this. It will be so impressive if you set up a buffet.
Besides, face has a price to Nan Yi. As long as someone is willing to give him money, he can cash it in at any time. Oh, and the gold under his knees, he can also sell it at any time.
But the gold under his knees is expensive, and he won’t sell it without tens of billions of dollars and private space.
It’s not shameful to ask for a private space. It just makes it convenient for him to make the second sale. He can also brag that it’s his “first time”. In this way, he can ask for a higher price. Every extra dollar counts.
Nan Yi scooped the dishes and rice in the middle of the foam lunch box into the enamel lunch box, threw away the parts that stuck to the box, and started eating at his workstation.
"Shi Xun, have you completed your resignation procedures?"
"Not yet. We'll have to do it on Thursday." Wu Shiqi said while eating.
"Oh, then you don't have to come on Thursday. Just go to the hospital and get a comprehensive physical examination. Edwin, give me two thousand dollars later and I will exchange it for RMB."
Nan Yi would definitely go to the black market to change it instead of going to the bank. He thought about the two million US dollars in the bank. As soon as he used it, the bank would force him to change it into RMB at the official exchange rate, which would result in a loss of 17.36 million RMB. His heart ached like a needle.
Nan Yi quickly finished his meal, took a few sheets of white paper and a ruler, and began to trace the forms used within the company, such as reimbursement requests and withdrawal slips.
As he was drawing, the phone on Nan Yi's desk rang.
"Nan Yi, you are a good person, please speak."
"Mr. Nan, a comrade named Xian Jijie called just now and said he is in Beijing and wants to meet with you."
"Oh, did he say where he is?"
"The call came from a public phone near the Workers' Stadium."
"Then call him back and tell him that I have to go out at two o'clock. If he can make it, ask him to come to the Great Wall Hotel. If he can't make it, ask him to go to the old house in the evening."
"clear."
Nan Yi hung up the phone and continued to copy the format of his order.
The Workers' Stadium is less than three miles away from the Great Wall Hotel, just past Sanlitun. In less than half an hour, Xian Jijie was already sitting on the sofa in Room 8716.
Xian Jijie and Xian Weimin are of the same generation, but there is a big age difference between them. Xian Jijie is already 38 years old this year. His son got married in March this year, and his daughter-in-law is pregnant. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become a grandfather at the age of 39.
The idea of sanitary napkins that Nan Yi proposed at the village committee meeting finally fell on his shoulders. He held 58% of the shares and the village held 42% of the shares, and they jointly opened a Jijie sanitary products factory.
"Jijie, where are you from?" Nan Yi put the brewed tea next to Xian Jijie and asked.
"I came from the Wenling factory. The factory has just developed its first product and I want you to see it." Xian Jijie said.
"Jijie, I'm not an outsider either. We don't need to play the game of testing the waters. Just tell us directly if you have something to say."
Letting Nan Yi look at sanitary napkins is nonsense. How could he know the quality of sanitary napkins?
Instead of showing it to him, it would be better to find a few women to try it out.
If Xian Jijie couldn't figure out this problem, he wouldn't have accepted the job of sanitary napkins. It was obvious that he had other things to do, so why would he start the conversation with a new product?
Xian Jijie smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I'll be frank. Some time ago, I went to Weilin's father-in-law's house. Many people in their village sneaked into the country of Xian to work illegally. One person sent things home from the country of Xian.
He had a child who was not even six months old, so he sent some foreign diapers back to him. I thought they were quite novel, so I asked for one and took it back to the factory to try it out. This foreign diaper was really amazing. It was very absorbent. I poured a cup of water on it and not a drop leaked out.
"The term foreign diapers is a bit outdated. Now is the time to add the word "foreign" to something that is not foreign." Nan Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "You might as well call it diapers, which is more descriptive. I know about diapers and have always had the idea of producing diapers in my mind.
The reason why I didn't tell you is that you should know it now. The production process of diapers is very demanding and the cost is not low. Moreover, this thing has a patent. If you want to produce it, you have to develop new materials and new processes yourself. How much money will it cost? Have you thought about it?"
“I have thought about it.”
Xian Jijie nodded solemnly, searched his body for a while, and then stopped.
"It's okay, go ahead and smoke." Nan Yi said to Xian Jijie, and then said to Wu Shixun: "Shixun, please bring the ashtray over."
After Xian Jijie smoked a cigarette, Nan Yi said, "Go on."
Xian Jijie took two more deep puffs and crushed the cigarette in the ashtray. "I've thought about it and discussed it with the factory technicians. I want to produce foreign... The diaper factory is going to add a new production line. I came to Beijing this time to ask for a price from the representative of Ruiguang Corporation."
"Oh, you were on the sixth floor this morning?"
The office of Ruiguang Corporation is on the sixth floor of the Great Wall Hotel, and coincidentally, it is room 8616 right below Nan Yi and his team.
"Yes, we had lunch here. The Japanese treated us."
"Have you made up your mind? Do you want to do it now?" Nan Yi asked with a frown.
Xian Jijie said firmly: "I've thought about it, sanitary napkins and diapers together."
"Then I understand. You don't want to look for me, but you want to ask Liu Zhen for help to get a loan, right?"
"right."
Xian Jijie smiled awkwardly.
"Then you made a wrong idea. First, you insisted on opening the Jijie Sanitary Products Factory in Wenling. I heard that the villagers are not very happy about it. It will be difficult for you to ask the village to provide a loan.
Second, the factory was not making any money at the moment, and since it was a township enterprise, it would be impossible to get a loan in the factory's name.
Third, you left too fast.
We have to eat one bite at a time. Will sanitary napkins sell well ? I think they should sell well, but they haven't started selling yet. We don't know how well they will sell and how much they will sell for.
I have invested money but I have not seen any hope of getting my money back. Now you want to start selling diapers. If they are not selling well, you will have to invest another million yuan. What if you lose money? How will you explain to the village?"
"I've thought about this matter and it's not appropriate for the village to step in, so I want to bring in another person, let them invest money, and give them a share."
As soon as Nan Yi finished speaking, Xian Jijie responded directly without even a bang.
"Well, the first wicked guy who took the villagers for fools and poached people has shown up. He didn't show any expression of disappointment, confusion, or loss, and just answered the question directly. It seems that he had made up his mind a long time ago."
Nan Yi was a little disappointed. He knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so early. He had only washed half of his muddy legs, but the roundworms in his stomach could no longer be hidden and were pulled out.
"It's a good idea to find another shareholder to share the risk . You should hurry back to the village and discuss it with the village committee. I'll ask Liu Zhen for you. If I have any news, I'll call the factory. I'm also in a hurry to go out. I have to visit a very important guest in the afternoon."
Nan Yi's intention to send him away was obvious, and Xian Jijie certainly understood it. He stood up and said, "I plan to go directly to the train station to see if I can buy a ticket back to Shencun in the afternoon. If I can, I will go back today."
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. I'm really busy today. Next time, come over and say hello in advance and have a simple meal at my house."
"It's okay, it's okay, Nan Yi, just go do your thing."
Nan Yi politely sent Xian Jijie away and returned to his workstation with a droopy look on his face.
He wanted to wait and see how the village committee would respond. If they agreed to Xian Jijie's request to increase the number of shareholders, he would not say a word and would directly find a pair of white gloves to start a new business in Zhejiang Province and open a new sanitary products factory.
Whether it is sanitary napkins or diapers, the future market potential is huge. If Wen Changwei can't earn the money, he can just do it himself.
After thinking for a while, Nan Yi put the matter aside and continued to encourage Qiu to write his order format.
When it was exactly two o'clock, Nan Yi and Edwin set out for the Haidian District Government. They met Ye Wei at the gate of the district government, and the three of them walked into the courtyard together.
It was still the same office as last time, and Nan Yi and the other two quickly sat down.
"Xiao Nan, the plan you showed me last time said that you wanted to locate Qinghe International in the old factory building of Changhe Woolen Textile?"
Last time, Min Jinsheng called Nan Yi "Mr. Nan", but this time he just called him "Xiao Nan", a more affectionate name.
Nan Yi was afraid that others would be too close to him, so if he was polite, he would worry that others would miss him.
