Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0558: Flattery
"Hua Xiangrong's grandfather is a retired cadre who can afford to raise bees. Her parents both work in the Cultural Bureau and are cadres of varying degrees. Their family lives in a compound left by a high-ranking official of the Qing Dynasty. How could they possibly be interested in the Ma family army?
If Hua Xiangrong is really blind and falls for Ma Jiajun, then there will be one more person to suck blood from Ma Jiayan, who is both her sister and mother. Anyway, she is capable and can handle raising one more person. "
Yangfeng Alley was just an ordinary alley in the past. Although many anecdotes and legends have taken place in this alley, it is still an ordinary alley.
Because of its special location, it started to become extraordinary in the 1950s. In 1958, a "guest house" was built in the alley, which was specially used for people who went to the world's first sea for meetings to take a nap and rest in their spare time.
When people in Beijing mention Yangfengjiadao, they are actually referring to this place.
"That's not easy. Guanyin Bodhisattva hasn't yet enlightened the black bear demon. If another Monkey King comes along, how will Bodhisattva live?"
"Oh, you really think highly of Ma Jiayan. You even praise her like a bodhisattva."
"To the three youngest children of the Ma family, isn't Ma Jiayan a bodhisattva? As the old saying goes, an elder sister is like a mother, but that is just to help, not to shoulder all the responsibilities alone. Ma Jiajun is eighteen years old, right? Even if Ma Jiayan drives him out with a stick and lets him fend for himself, no one can say that Ma Jiayan is wrong, right?"
"That's right. Ma Jiayan is really the Bodhisattva of her Ma family." Cao Lin agreed: "I don't like the Ma family army either. Although they are not bad people, they don't feel sorry for Ma Jiayan. I guess she owed the Ma family army in her previous life, so she came to pay the debt in this life."
"Okay, let's not talk about them. It's annoying. Can we eat large intestines?" Nan Yi moved away, leaving space for the stall owner to put the fried large intestines on the table.
"Why not eat it? In the past few years, sow meat was in great demand."
Cao Lin said as she picked up a pair of chopsticks from the dish, picked up a handful of large intestine and stuffed it into her mouth. Nan Yi watched and also picked up the chopsticks, wiped them on his T-shirt, and then picked up the large intestine and ate it.
After eating two pieces of intestines, Nan Yi suddenly remembered disposable chopsticks.
"In the past two years, the consumption of disposable chopsticks in Japan has been increasing. I believe that it won't be long before trees in Japan are banned from being cut down, and Japanese businessmen will definitely set their sights on neighboring countries.
In order to obtain foreign exchange, forests will suffer, with trees being cut down and soil erosion resulting.
It is impossible to stop people from cutting down trees. Cutting down some trees just to make money is nothing. Both the Kenzhi Group and Shennong Nanliang should formulate plans for regenerating bamboo and launch disposable bamboo chopsticks to sell at low prices in the Japanese market, making disposable wooden chopsticks unprofitable.
By invading the market, the goal of protecting forests is achieved.
Basically, bamboo can do everything that wood can do. If we tap into the potential of bamboo, bamboo products will also have a bright future.”
Nan Yi kept the words "bamboo products" in mind and thought about setting up an experimental team specializing in bamboo research under Fan Shengzhi Research Institute.
After having supper with Cao Lin, the next day came quickly. Nan Yi called Huang Xia and Huang Saner over and asked them to go to Banjie Hutong to inquire about Ma Jiayan's affairs.
Huang Saner no longer looks like a woman, but she is indeed a woman. As long as she is a woman, she will definitely be more adept at finding out gossip than a man.
After Huang Saner left, Nan Yi sat in room 8716 to study the bank's loan policy.
If everything goes according to the regulations and without crossing the line, Genzhengmiaohong can borrow a maximum of RMB 6 million from the US$2 million in the Universe Bank. With this money, the project can be put into operation. Then, as the project construction progresses and the valuation becomes higher, further loans can be made in phases to eventually complete the project.
This is the normal procedure, but it takes too long. It is easy to get a loan this year, but it is not easy to get a loan next year. The loan cannot be delayed until next year. All the required funds .
If you want to loan out the money this year, you either have to cross the line and leave hidden dangers, or find a strong guarantor.
Nan Yi would not do anything that crossed the line, but as for finding a guarantor, it didn't matter whether it was this year or next year. The mainland was short of foreign exchange but not RMB. As long as the Fang Group provided the guarantee, he could get a bank loan at any time.
The bank hopes that Nan Yi cannot pay back the money so that they can ask the Fang Group to pay back in Hong Kong dollars.
“But if I ask the Fang Group to provide a guarantee, wouldn’t that not show my ability?” Nan Yi felt a little conflicted.
Nan Yi originally planned to treat the Yaqing [Asia & Qinghe International] project as a copy to create some fun for himself, but it would be meaningless if he left some hidden dangers for the sake of fun.
Picking up the teacup, Nan Yi walked out of the room, went to the window in the corner of the corridor, looked out of the building, and wondered if there were any other workarounds.
After standing for more than half an hour, there was another person next to Nan Yi.
"Mr. Nan, what are you looking at?"
"I didn't see anything. I came out to get some fresh air. Mr. Li, how about you?" Nan Yi turned around and said.
The visitor was Li Shunran, the manager of Wang An Computer’s Beijing office.
Wang Laboratories' office was originally located in the VIP building of the Friendship Hotel, but for some unknown reason it moved to the Great Wall Hotel, and was located in room 8711 on the same floor as IBM.
Wang An Computer and IBM were sworn enemies. Wang An founded "Wang An Laboratory" in 1951 and sold one-third of the company to Warner & Swasey Company, obtaining US$50,000 in capital for factory construction.
In 1955, Wang An sold his memory patent to IBM for US$500,000. In the same year, Wang An and his classmates opened "Wang An Computer Co., Ltd." and quickly switched to more profitable LOCI logarithmic calculators, 300 series programmable calculators and other simple but cheap computers that could quickly enter the public.
At that time, many companies did not actually need powerful and expensive computers. Slower but smaller and cheaper devices were enough to speed up many business processes. For a time, Wang computers became popular throughout the United States.
In 1967, Wang An Computer's stock was listed. 400,000 shares were sold out in a few hours. The stock price continued to soar. In just a few days, Wang An's total assets miraculously increased to nearly 80 million US dollars.
After that, Wang An Computer began to develop "industrial-specific computers", such as digital control devices for lathes and printing presses. After the emergence of integrated circuits, Wang An accurately judged that the era of general-purpose computers would come.
In 1975, Wang Laboratories launched the world's first word processing system with editing and searching functions. This "WPS" computer can display text directly on the screen, quickly modify manuscripts with the keyboard, and print documents like ordinary typewriters and printing presses.
It greatly improved the work performance of office clerical white-collar workers, and at the same time changed the situation in which office workers had been using cheap typewriters as the only equipment for nearly half a century, despite the rapid development of factory machinery. It was also the first computer application to create "word processing".
In 1978, Wang Laboratories became the world's largest word processor manufacturer. In the 1980s, Wang Laboratories reached its peak. This year, Wang An and his family held 55% of Wang Laboratories' shares, which Forbes magazine estimated to be worth about 1.6 billion US dollars, ranking fifth on the US rich list.
It was precisely because of Wang An's fierce momentum that IBM felt it was facing a formidable enemy. In order to cope with the crisis, it began to develop PCs, and made public the design specifications of PCs, encouraging its peers to imitate compatible machines to quickly make up for the gap in scale. Although it encountered some competition from peers, it also quickly formed an allied force.
However, Wang An insisted on not making his computer design public. He just wanted to play with it by himself and had no intention of bringing others along. This resulted in a situation where one company was against an alliance.
The PC camp attracted global manufacturers to join in production by publishing specifications, and indirectly utilized the wisdom of global talents to continuously enhance PC functions, forming an overwhelming talent force against Wang An.
Wang An computers are still useful today, but as more and more excellent new software and hardware come out, consumers find that these new gadgets do not work on Wang An computers. Especially in the era of primary Internet that is about to come, Wang An computers cannot form an Internet communication with PCs, and Wang An computers will face the dilemma of being completely eliminated by consumers.
In fact, Apple and Wang An are following similar paths, but Apple has Jobs, countless outstanding scientific researchers, and a good foundation for dispersed shares. Apple's interests are the interests of countless investors. In order to protect their own interests, they naturally have to support Apple.
It is precisely because of these favorable factors that Apple has been able to turn its bad situation around.
As for Wang An Computer, the Wang family holds the shares too tightly. The Wang family eats the meat, while others just lick the leftovers. Who will work for Wang An Computer?
In addition, Wang An was stubborn and self-willed. He was obsessed with turning Wang An Computer into a family business and promoted his son Wang Lie, who had no management skills, to the position of chairman. It was inevitable that the company would end in failure.
"I feel the same way. I'm bored in the office. Mr. Nan, do you want to smoke?" Li Shunran asked, taking out a pack of cigarettes.
"Thank you, I don't smoke." Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, I have a question for you."
"Speaking."
"Your Wang An computers were doing fine in the Friendship Hotel, why did you move them here?"
"It's nothing. The environment here at the Great Wall Hotel is better. We are just considering improving the office environment." Li Shunran replied perfunctorily.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Nan Yi nodded and said, "Then you stay here. I'll go back to the office first. The company just bought Word software, and I need to go back and explore it carefully."
Nan Yi was deliberately trying to disgust Li Shunran. He even answered him perfunctorily when he asked a question. "Wang An Computer mainly makes word processors. I just don't want to use yours, I'll use IBM's instead."
Back in the office, Nan Yi continued to think about his things.
Regardless of whether you fight this copy or not, you have to deal with the bank.
The president of the National Bank's Beijing head office is Fan Guangfu, who doesn't like drinking or smoking, but likes playing table tennis.
table tennis……
Boom! Nan Yi threw two gasoline balls on the ground and appeared in the sporting goods store in a flash.
He first coveted the sports air rifle for a while, then bought a pair of DHS table tennis rackets, bought three buckets of table tennis balls, and flew to the Erhua staff club on a colorful cloud.
