Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0572 Beauty wants to invest in Nanyi
"Hello." Nan Yi responded.
Yang Kaiyan gave a formal smile and said, "Do you need me to introduce myself?"
"No, are you here to see me specifically, or just by chance?"
As Nan Yi spoke, he glanced at the workers who were moving office supplies in the corridor. A new company had moved in on the seventh floor. If he was not mistaken, the person moving in was Yang Kaiyan.
"It should be said that by the way, I moved to room 8712 today, Mr. Nan, and we will be neighbors from now on."
"Oh, welcome, welcome. On behalf of the authentic family, I welcome you, the fake foreigner... Overseas Chinese come to invest in China. I believe the friendship between China and China will last forever."
Nan Yi pretended to say something wrong accidentally and deliberately teased Yang Kaiyan.
"Mr. Nan..."
"Comrade."
“Okay, Comrade Nan.” Yang Kaiyan paused and said, “It seems that Comrade Nan does not welcome my arrival.”
"Not really. I didn't open the Great Wall Hotel. Since Miss Yang is visiting me 'by the way', let's go to 8716. We don't have high-end American coffee, but a friend gave me some cat shit from Indonesia. Miss Yang, you can have a cup, please."
Yang Kaiyan's family is powerful and wealthy. Nan Yi believes that Yang Kaiyan must know about the Yaqing project, and may even know it clearly.
He can investigate others, and others can naturally investigate him.
Before Yaqing, the only one who was exposed might be Ye Qi. After Nan Yi went to the Haidian District Government, he must have been exposed as well. It is not difficult for someone with ulterior motives to find out his existence. Yang Kaiyan is 100% one of those people with ulterior motives.
He walked into the room facing Yang Kaiyan, and after the others sat down on the sofa, Nan Yi found a mortar, put some coffee beans in it, and started crushing them with a pestle.
Nan Yi was fiddling with it, but Yang Kaiyan was observing him, "Comrade Nan, this is the scoop, right?"
"Ji-ù, mortar, not scoop. The one in my hand is a kind of mortar, but a more correct term is mortar. In ancient times, people would use mortar to crush poisons such as arsenic and arsenic trioxide.
The mortar in my hand came from the Forbidden City. I heard that the imperial physician in the palace used it to pound Chinese medicine for the sores on the buttocks of Empress Dowager Cixi, and one of the ingredients was boy's urine.
Miss Yang, your eyes are a little swollen. Recently, it should be due to the rising of internal heat, which makes you prone to nosebleeds. Oh, that is, nosebleeds. You can boil eggs with boy's urine and eat them. It is very effective in treating nosebleeds. "
[Note: This involves medical knowledge, so just read it and don’t take it seriously. Although I am not writing it randomly, and I have even seen people do it, I cannot guarantee whether it will work, because I haven’t tried it myself.]
"Is boy's urine really useful?" Yang Kaiyan asked seriously.
Well, Yang Kaiyan didn’t sense the joking in Nan Yi’s words at all. He was just a Chinese who could speak Chinese.
Nan Yi was wondering whether he should trick Yang Kaiyan into getting a "chicken blood injection". Yi Jinru had spent a lot of money to take the former Nan Yi and Nan Tieli to the hospital to get a chicken blood injection. After the injection, the former Nan Yi had a high fever for several days. He was lucky to not die.
"It should be useful. Many people are using it anyway."
As Nan Yi spoke, he placed the ground coffee powder in a funnel with filter paper, then started brewing coffee with the thermos.
"Sorry, the stuff is incomplete. It's not purified water, and there's no way to control the water temperature."
"It doesn't matter. Comrade Nan's coffee beans are top quality." Yang Kaiyan sniffed and said, "The taste is very fragrant. Even if the water is a little worse, the taste should not be bad."
"Miss Yang, do you know the origin of civet coffee?"
"I only know that this kind of coffee is produced in Indonesia. In the early 18th century, the Dutch established coffee plantations in Sumatra and Java, the Indonesian colonies, and prohibited local people from picking and eating the coffee berries they planted.
Local Indonesians accidentally discovered that civet cats love to eat coffee berries and will excrete the beans intact when they poop, so civet coffee came into being.
Comrade Nan, am I right? "
“Yes, this is indeed the origin of civet coffee, but there is a little more story behind it.”
"I'm listening." Yang Kaiyan said.
"Another triple-cup coffee." Nan Yi muttered to himself, and said, "Civet cats only choose the most mature and sweetest coffee beans to eat, which is a kind of natural selection. Secondly, the locals found that these beans are fermented in the cat's stomach, and the coffee produced is better than ordinary coffee.
The fragrant and delicious cat feces coffee gradually became famous and became a hot commodity in the international market. "
Yang Kaiyan knows how to do Sanjiapi, and so does Nan Yi. He also deliberately put a few words in Chinese to make it more "international".
“Civet cats are nocturnal animals that live in jungles and have a small appetite. Coffee beans produced by wild civet cats are very rare, and only artificial breeding can produce more cat feces coffee.
In order to gain more profits, some unscrupulous traders lock these animals in small, dirty cages and force them to eat non-stop. They are on the verge of collapse, biting each other, biting their own legs, and having bloody stools. They will soon face death. The process of producing coffee beans is extremely cruel.
I won’t say much about whether it is cruel or not, this world is cruel by nature.
The coffee beans that are artificially fed to civet cats have not undergone any screening and are not high-quality beans, so the quality cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the civet cat is always in fear, so its stomach certainly cannot work normally, and the fermentation process is naturally incomplete. The quality of the coffee beans produced in this way is naturally not very good.
The civet coffee available on the market now is basically produced by human intervention. Mine is not. It is collected by local Indonesians in the wild. When wild civets eat coffee beans, they feel very happy physically and mentally. This kind of coffee beans are fully fermented in their stomachs, so the taste is so rich. "
Nan Yi placed a cup of coffee in front of Yang Kaiyan and said, "Try it without sugar and milk first. It's a little bitter, but the taste is more correct. If Miss Yang drinks espresso regularly, she should be able to get used to the taste."
"I used to work on Wall Street, and staying up late was a common occurrence. Whenever I had to stay up late, Espresso would become my companion, accompanying me through the most sleepy moments." Yang Kaiyan said as she picked up the coffee.
Nan Yi couldn't tell whether Yang Kaiyan's mention of Wall Street was a casual remark or a veiled threat, implying that she had a Wall Street background, so he said, "Oh, Miss Yang often stays up late?"
"There's no way. There's a time difference in this world."
"As far as I know, the world's financial market is very active right now. For Wall Street, it is currently in its golden age. Why did Miss Yang come to Beijing instead of staying in Wall Street?"
"For personal reasons, I am not in a position to disclose it." Yang Kaiyan said with a cold face.
"Sorry, I was presumptuous."
Nan Yi picked up the coffee cup, sipped it slowly, and said nothing.
For a long while, neither Nan Yi nor Yang Kaiyan spoke, only the sound of coffee cups hitting coasters echoed.
Edwin was not used to living in the room, so Nan Yi followed Fang Chong's approach and rented a courtyard house for him at a high price. Edwin had already moved out, and the original bedroom had been vacated and converted into a reception room.
Now the sofa is facing the large window of the reception room. The whole reception room is like a dark yellow picture frame, a huge painting inlaid in the window. Yang Kaiyan has become a stream of thick and sparkling river water in the painting, splashing onto the curtains and dyeing the edges of the curtains crimson.
The person is beautiful, but unfortunately he is an opponent.
"Comrade Nan, the old factory building of Changhe Woolen Textile has been rented by my cousin."
After a long while, Yang Kaiyan spoke.
"I know."
“The renovations will be finished soon.”
"I know that, too."
"I know you are running the Yaqing project. Once your project starts running, my cousin's clothing wholesale market will face bankruptcy."
"Ms. Yang, please feel free to speak up if you have anything to say." Nan Yi put down the coffee cup and said calmly.
"I want to invest in your Yaqing project."
"Investment? Ms. Yang, do you want to play the role of VC or PE?"
"No, I don't want to play the role of an angel investor, let alone a private equity investor. I want to invest directly, become a shareholder of the future Yaqing Project Holding Company and take on a specific position."
"Why?" Nan Yi asked, "Before you said this, have you ever thought about why I should agree to your investment request? Do you have any reasons that I can't refuse?"
"Yes, Comrade Nan may have asked someone to check me, but the check may not be detailed enough, especially my specific information in the country. I can tell you my resume, and Comrade Nan can ask someone to verify whether what I said is true." Yang Kaiyan said confidently.
"I'm listening."
"I graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and joined Shearson right after graduation. During my time at Shearson, I was responsible for many business investments, mergers, and splits, and participated in the operations of many companies as a representative of the capital side. Until this year, Guoan Express..."
"I know that American Express bought Lehman Brothers and merged Lehman Brothers with Shearson to form Shearson Lehman/American Express."
How could Nan Yi not know about this? Not to mention the famous bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in the future, he had naturally been paying attention to it. For example, Pan American Investment Holdings had shares in Lehman Brothers. Although he had no say, he would definitely be notified as a shareholder if the company was to be acquired.
In his previous life, Nan Yi had heard a piece of gossip from someone in the financial circle, saying that although Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, the interests of its shareholders were not harmed, and instead they made a fortune.
The collapse of Lehman Brothers was simply the result of shareholders using bankruptcy law to dump Lehman's mess on the White House and get away with it unscathed.
Nan Yi was not sure whether the news was true or false, but he was happy to keep an eye on Lehman's every move, looking forward to the opportunity to pick up bargains in the future.
"Since Comrade Nan knows Hillson, he should know how difficult it is to become the main person in charge of a project at Hillson."
“Well, Wall Street is dominated by white people, and it’s not easy for other minorities to stand out. Although I personally don’t agree with the idea of discrimination, in fact, discrimination is indeed everywhere on Wall Street.
Ms. Yang, as a woman and a minority, was able to climb to a high position in Hillson, which fully demonstrates that she is a talent.
This can be used as a reason for me to accept your investment, but this alone is far from enough. Since Ms. Yang is thinking about investing, she can naturally see the broad prospects of Yaqing. Therefore, my current valuation of Yaqing has reached 200 million... US dollars.
No matter who wants to invest, they have to negotiate with this valuation. Ms. Yang, you should first think carefully about whether you can accept my more demanding valuation. Once you can accept it, we can then sort out why I want to accept your investment. "
200 million US dollars is the valuation made by Nanyi for the Yaqing project, which is still clean at present . This valuation is the result of Nanyi's comprehensive consideration of the future value of 150 acres of land.
“Comrade Nan, are you crazy?” Yang Kaiyan stood up and said, “No matter how good the prospects of Yaqing are, can it still be valued at 2 billion RMB?”
"Ms. Yang, your math is not good. It is clearly 464 million RMB."
"Okay, that's 464 million RMB. I agree with this valuation. Let's talk about investment." Yang Kaiyan seized the "loophole" in Nan Yi's words and sat back.
"Damn, 464 million is also acceptable. This woman sees the value of the land." Nan Yi complained inwardly and said, "Ms. Yang, the Yaqing project is an international project. The current internationally accepted settlement currency is the US dollar. I am talking about the US dollar. Let's not talk about the RMB."
"The valuation of $200 million is too high. Comrade Nan, you are just highway robbery."
"Ms. Yang, if you don't understand idioms, you should use less idioms and don't abuse them. You should say that my price is reasonable."
"Highway robbery isn't appropriate, but asking for a big mouth is right, right?"
“It makes sense.”
"Comrade Nan, it seems that you don't have any sincerity. I came to the wrong place today. See you!"
Yang Kaiyan stood up and walked towards the gate. Nan Yi did not stand up, and neither did he stop her nor did he think of seeing her off.
The investigation report obtained by Nan Yi showed that the last project Yang Kaiyan was responsible for before leaving Hilson was an investment in a real estate company in Tokyo.
Before making an investment, the first thing a financial company should do, as long as it is not a makeshift team, is to conduct market research.
Yang Kaiyan must be very clear about the situation of Japanese real estate.
She also could not have been unaware of the fact that domestic reforms learned from the experiences of Japan and Lijiaopo.
With a little connection, reading a few more issues of "Mouthpiece Newspaper", and studying the domestic land policy, and making a bold prediction for the future, it is easy to come to the conclusion that "China's real estate industry will flourish."
Yang Kaiyan can not only see the prospects of Yaqing, but also the prospects of the 150 acres of land. This is Nan Yi's judgment on Yang Kaiyan. If she can't see the second point, she will have no chance to gain a foothold on Wall Street, let alone climb to a high position, no matter how powerful her grandfather Zheng Pingchuan is on Wall Street.
Wall Street is very pure. As long as you can't make money for yourself, no one's son is useful.
Yang Kaiyan's episode did not slow down Nan Yi's pace, and the Yaqing project continued to move forward normally.
Genzhengmiaohong and Haidian District Government jointly established a Yaqing Company, in which Haidian District Government holds a 55% stake, Genzhengmiaohong Xiangkeng Company holds a 43% stake, and Genzhengmiaohong Jingcheng Commerce holds a 2% stake.
The registered person of Genzhengmiaohong Jingcheng Trading has changed from Yi Jinru to Ye Qi. Nan Yi and Ye Qi also signed a series of contracts to separate 2% of Yaqing Company's shares from the main body of Genzhengmiaohong Trading Company.
"Your 2% actually requires a capital contribution of 1.8 million. How much can you come up with now?"
After the big thing was done, Nan Yi and Ye Qi sat in the reception room of the Great Wall Hotel and settled the small accounts between them .
Ye Qi thought for a moment and said, "Let's get some money together and come up with 227,000."
"Forget about 7,000. You need to take out 220,000 first. I'll give you 1.6 million, including the interest on the remaining 1.58 million. You can sign a loan contract with Genzhengmiaohongxiang Company, and let the company pay up the capital first. The 1.6 million will be deducted from your future dividends.
However, you have to think carefully. Once our project fails, you, as a shareholder, will have to bear 2% of the debt responsibility. Not only will the 220,000 be wasted, but you will also have to bear a loan of 1.8 million."
"What am I afraid of? You're the majority shareholder, so I shouldn't be afraid." Ye Qi said with a smile.
"Okay, from now on, the bank will have to take good care of us and visit our two homes with gifts during festivals. If we catch a cold and fall down, we won't be able to pay back the loan and that's it."
"Hahaha, shouldn't the bank provide us with a health care doctor?"
"Okay, I'll assign you an old maid to take care of your shit and pee, and serve you in all aspects. If you stretch out your left hand, you eat; if you stretch out your right hand, you poop; if you stick your butt out, you pee."
"Game!" Ye Yu gave a thumbs up and said, "We have finally made a breakthrough. Do you want to celebrate?"
"Forget it. I'm not free this week. Let's talk about it in October." Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "Talk to Edwin about the contract. Let's talk about this now. I have to go back."
"Liu Zhen is about to give birth?"
"It will be soon. It will only take two days."
"Come to the hospital and say hello someday. I'm going to visit my nephew."
"Okay, let's get out of here."
"Don't forget to say hello."
"Got it." Nan Yi's voice was still lingering, but he had already left the room.
He hurried back to the old villa, and for the next few days, Nan Yi kept hanging around Liu Zhen, diligently acting as a nanny for Liu Zhen and serving her comfortably.
It was not until September 21 that Nan Yi sent Liu Zhen to Rockefeller Hospital.
