Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0568: Communication Continues
After playing table tennis, eating and having a few drinks, Nan Yi sent Fan Guangfu back home around three o'clock in the afternoon.
For most of the day, Nan Yi did not mention the loan.
Needless to say, both parties know it very well. If an individual businessman approaches a bank president, it is not for a loan, but to learn table tennis.
We just make friends on weekends , and we can leave the serious business to the bank on weekdays.
It cannot be said that what Nan Yi is doing now is in vain. If he hadn't done this, he would have rashly gone to the door to make a cold call, and he would most likely get the excuse that "the president is not here".
In fact, if it was just for the loan for the Yaqing project, Nan Yi would not have to go through so much trouble. He was no longer prepared to bother with any dungeons, but would directly ask the Fang Group to come forward and guarantee it. In this way, getting the loan would become very easy, and he could even turn a passive situation into an active one.
However, Nan Yi still wanted to let Tota Construction and Chunshen Construction parrot the clumsy ideas of some people to replicate the real estate myth of 2 trillion yuan with 3.9 billion yuan.
Nan Yi knew clearly that he was not as capable as some people, who only had a small capital of "3.9 billion" to play with. He did not dare to be so arrogant. For Tota and Chunshen, he would actually invest "200 million", which would take longer than some people and invest more than ten times more money.
The 200 million yuan of funds in the 1980s, converted into the first few years of the year 2000, could have exerted an energy equivalent to about 50 billion yuan [don't use food prices or housing prices to convert it, but compare it based on the commercial effect].
It is not difficult to leverage 2 trillion yuan of wealth with 200 million yuan of capital in more than 30 years.
Even if it is difficult, Nan Yi dare not say it is difficult. Others have done it in a shorter time and with less investment. He has more time, more capital, and the advantage of rebirth and time travel. If he still can't do it, then he will have no face to wear a belt in the future, so he might as well continue to use the red rope to tie his crotch.
When Nan Yi returned to the old villa, he found Liu Zhen talking to an old man there.
The old man is Peng Xiuquan, the chef of Tan’s cuisine who was tricked by Nan Yi into coming back by playing chess and who is now the head chef at Mingzhu Banquet.
Calling him the head chef is actually a bit of a misnomer. At the beginning, Peng Xiuquan was the one who did the talking and his son Peng Jingchuan did the work. After Peng Jingchuan was able to control the situation, Peng Xiuquan rarely appeared at the Mingzhu Banquet.
"Master Peng, you are a rare guest. Why did you think of coming here today?" Nan Yi put down his things and went up to greet him.
"Boss, I came here today to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter? Just tell me straight away."
Nan Yi pulled a chair and sat next to Liu Zhen's sofa.
"Hua Guo Food Magazine and Chao Ting TV are going to jointly host a National Day Family Banquet Invitational Competition, and I want my daughter Xiao Wan to participate."
"Master Peng, this is your family's private matter. It seems unnecessary to tell me ."
Mingzhu Banquet pays salaries and dividends to Peng Xiuquan and Peng Jingchuan. If Peng Jingchuan wants to participate in the competition, then it stands to reason that he should say hello to Nan Yi, his employer.
But Peng Xiaowan and Nan Yi do not have any employer-employee relationship. She does not need to inform Nan Yi about what she wants to do. Even if she wants to open a restaurant, as long as it is not opposite Mingzhuyan, it is her freedom.
"If Xiaowan gets a good ranking in the competition, I plan to let her open her own private restaurant. She is not qualified to open the Qin Family Cuisine brand, so let her open the Peng Family Cuisine brand." Peng Xiuquan explained: "Peng Family Cuisine will not be opened in a busy place, but in a place in the alley, with one table, and one table per day. Customers who want to eat have to make a reservation ten days or half a month in advance."
Nan Yi's literary talent is elegant and refined. If Peng's cuisine wants to succeed and gain a foothold, it needs support from someone, whether it be a political figure or a cultural celebrity.
Further afield, along the Grand Canal from Beijing to Hangzhou, there are countless kinds of food that can be related to Qianlong. Some of them were invented to entertain Qianlong on a whim, while others were named after him.
Qianlong, who loved to go to the south of the Yangtze River, became a jack of all trades, and all truth and falsehood were attributed to him.
To take a closer look at some of the time-honored restaurants in Beijing, if you dig deeper you’ll find that many of them have a similar story – during the Republic of China, Mei Lanfang came out of the theater and fell in love with “×××” and ordered a few “×× dishes”.
Mei Lanfang was a cultural celebrity and drama tycoon at the time. To use Internet slang, he was very cool. If an object was associated with him, its price would go up rapidly.
"Oh, I see. You always want me to help you find someone to support you, right?"
Peng Xiuquan slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. Boss, you must know some celebrities. When the Peng's Cuisine sign is hung up, I'll have to trouble you to help promote it."
"That's easy. I will do my best to help if I can." Nan Yi said, and then took a big turn, "It's just that I don't know any big names, so the help I can provide is very limited."
"I'm already very grateful for your help. I also know some people. With the help of others, I can still find some celebrities to support Xiaowan. I don't have to rely entirely on the boss."
"That would be great. It won't cause any delay. I'm familiar with the Housing Authority and I can help you find a house."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Boss. It's almost time for dinner, so I won't sit here any longer. Mingzhu Banquet has been doing good business lately, so I have to go check on that brat to prevent him from losing his composure."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Nan Yi sent Peng Xiuquan out of the yard, returned to the living room, moved the recliner into the yard, and placed it next to the bamboo bushes.
Of course, Liu Zhen lay on the recliner, and Nan Yi could only sit on a low stool.
"It's so boring staying at home. It's really better to continue working than taking maternity leave." Liu Zhen complained as soon as she lay down on the recliner.
"Adjust your mood and bear with it. It will be over in a few months. I'll cook dinner tonight. You don't want to eat maternity food. I'll make a few dishes you can eat."
"good."
As soon as the weekend was over, Liu Zhen officially started her maternity leave, and Nan Yi also began to live a reclusive life. She stayed in the old villa when she had nothing to do and only went out when she had something to do. She also brought her work home.
It is not very convenient for people in the capital to communicate with the outside world, and the news transmitted from the outside world will be relatively delayed. Ueto Masami stayed in the capital for a few days, communicated with Nan Yi about the work to be done in the future, and then left the capital and went back to continue her "frequent flying man".
While Nan Yi ran to the Haidian District Government compound from time to time, he made two more appointments with Fan Guangfu. One was to play table tennis, and the other was today, when the two went to see an internal .
The film I watched was "Commander-in-Chief Yamamoto Isoroku", which was released in 1968 and was shown on a small scale in the early 1970s as an "internal criticism film" aimed at exposing and warning against the "revival of Japanese militarism."
The biggest feature of domestic films is the "original sound". Most of them have no Chinese dubbing, no Chinese subtitles, and have not been edited. You can see whatever is in the copies brought back from abroad, without any deletions.
Nan Yi had watched an internal movie that was not so "internal" before. He watched it in the courtyard of Haihou, and he watched it secretly while hiding in a tree.
Internal films often contain several critical points. The adults are afraid that the children’s minds are not mature enough, so whenever a critical scene appears, they will drive the children away for the purpose of protecting the children, leaving themselves alone, with their faces flushed red. They don’t even notice when the cigarette burns their hands, and they are immersed in the criticism movement with full concentration.
To be honest, the adults' worries were not unnecessary. Nan Yi had secretly watched a few shots before, but the impact on him was huge, and this impact even affected Nan Yi now.
So much so that when he was in Xiangkeng, Nan Yi secretly went to the small theater to criticize several movies.
After coming out of the auditorium where the movie was shown, Fan Guangfu and Nan Yi did not talk about anything related to the movie. In the current friendly environment between China and Japan, some topics are simply not suitable to be mentioned.
However, the relationship between Nan Yi and Fan Guangfu became closer, and Nan Yi also planned to go to the bank office to formally visit Fan Guangfu in two days...
