Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0596 Stars and Medicine
"What's going on?"
"Nansheng, someone fell into the water."
"Someone rescued me?"
"The people on the same boat can swim and have already gone down to rescue them."
Nan Yi frowned and said, "Just row over. Just because you can swim doesn't mean you know how to save people."
Sitting up, Nan Yi turned his head and saw a woman flapping in the water. Less than five meters away from her, a man was paddling towards her. There was a small boat about five or six meters behind the left of the man.
Nan Yi quickly sketched out the scene: a man and a woman agreed to go boating. For some unknown reason, the woman got anxious or acted like a spoiled child and accidentally or voluntarily jumped into the lake, causing the man to lose his composure, which led to the current situation.
If a man can remain calm, he will understand that he should not go into the water to save people. Instead, he should row the boat to the woman's side and use the oars to pull the woman onto the boat. This is the safest and most appropriate way.
At this time, the man, the woman, and the boat are connected to form an equilateral triangle with the boat as the vertex. As the man continues to swim, the triangle is pulled and slowly changes into a right triangle.
"idiot!"
Looking at the man doing useless work in the water, Nan Yi couldn't help but spit.
After swimming for a while, the man in the water finally realized something was wrong. He stopped in the water, identified the direction, and then swam straight towards the woman.
After a few seconds, Nan Yi saw the man approaching the woman and seemed to say something. Then he saw the man grabbing the woman's shoulders. When the woman saw the approaching man, she hugged the man's head with both hands before her shoulders were grabbed.
Seeing this, Nan Yi knew that he had to get into the water.
"Tiger cub, paddle over, quickly. Campus beauty, come in the water with me. You are the man and I am the woman."
Nan Yi is a better swimmer than the school beauty, and among the man and woman at the moment, the woman is definitely harder to save than the man. This is not because the woman cannot swim, but because the woman is already panicking.
After saying that, Nan Yi took off his T-shirt, leaned over the side of the boat, scooped up some water from the lake with both hands, stood up, splashed the water onto his chest, and then patted his chest with his hands.
After the hot water was ready, Nan Yi soaked his T-shirt in the water again, picked up the T-shirt and wrung out the water, tied a knot in the middle and at both ends of the T-shirt, and then put the T-shirt around his neck.
When Tiger Cub rowed the boat to within two meters of the man and woman in the water, he saw that the man and woman in the water were already in a daze. Nan Yi sat directly on the side of the boat, fell backwards, and fell into the water.
Nan Yi approached the man and woman in the water from the left, and the school beauty approached from the right. When they were almost close, the man in the water saw Nan Yi swimming towards them, and he got excited, his feet became messy, and he was pushed into the water by the woman who was holding him.
Puff, gulp, when the man and woman floated up again, their positions had changed. Nan Yi and the school beauty had to stop at a distance of 70 centimeters from them and adjust their own directions accordingly.
After adjusting the direction, Nan Yi exchanged glances with the school beauty and raised his left hand.
The school beauty nodded to show that she understood.
With his hands raised and his feet stepping on the water, Nan Yi was observing the situation of the two men and women. Suddenly, Nan Yi's left hand fell, and Nan Yi and the school beauty pounced on the man and woman who fell into the water almost at the same time.
The school beauty shot at the man's back like an arrow, climbed up and pressed the man's shoulders with both hands, and pushed the man into the water with force. It took more than two seconds to lift the man up. Then, she cut the man's neck with a knife, and the man was half unconscious.
With one hand grasping the man's neck, the school beauty kicked her legs in the water and retreated with the man.
Nan Yi pulled the T-shirt off her neck with his right hand, and pinched the woman's shoulders with his left hand. He swung the T-shirt around the woman's neck, holding both ends of the T-shirt in his left hand. The woman turned over in the water, and with a pull of his left hand, the inseparable man and woman were separated by Nan Yi and his partner. The woman and Nan Yi stood back to back.
Seeing that the two men had succeeded, the tiger cub rowed the boat close to them.
Nan Yi and the other man tread water, waiting for the tiger cub to hand them the oars. With the help of the oars, they were pulled to the side of the boat and lifted the woman up. The tiger cub pulled from above and the woman got on the boat.
The school beauty did the same thing and the man also got on board.
Nan Yi and the school beauty pushed against the side of the boat, and under the reaction force, both of them retreated, and then swam towards the boat where the man and woman fell into the water.
The cruise ship on the lake is a small two-person boat, the same size as the boat we were rowing, three people could barely fit in it, five people were hardly enough.
Getting on the boat, the school beauty was rowing. Nan Yi stood on the boat and shook his legs. He pulled a mysterious piece of cloth that was close to his skin. Water droplets slid down from his hair along his chest and belly button, and joined the water on his legs and dripped down to his trouser legs, dripping and falling into the boat in strings.
The life was not saved in vain. Just now, Nan Yi had already thought of an idea for an advertising script.
After returning to the shore, Nan Yi did not go to see the two men and women who fell into the water. They would not be in any serious condition. They just drank a few sips of water and might have diarrhea due to the unclean lake water. There would be no other problems.
After waiting in the car for a while, when the tiger cub came back, the car drove towards the old villa.
"fine?"
"The person is fine, but the man is in trouble. He was slapped a few times by the woman. The woman said her name is..."
"You don't need to mention her name. Just tell me how she plans to repay me. Will she repay me with her body or work like a slave in the next life?"
"No, she said that I can use her name if I need anything in the future."
"Haha, that's so real."
Nan Yi smiled and didn't take what happened just now to heart at all.
After returning to the old house and changing his clothes, Nan Yi sat under the shadow of the bamboo in the yard and continued to conceive his script.
Nan Yi had seen . He knew that he could make a good advertisement by applying their ideas, so he took on the script work himself and did not look for a professional advertising planner.
…
Tokyo.
Masami Ueto took inventory of all the assets of Baoguo Mihu, Ichi Retail, and Ikeda Company, and assessed how much more money she could borrow from the bank.
The result of the evaluation was not very ideal. Except for Baoguo Milan, which did not have much loans, the other two companies were heavily in debt and had few assets that could be used as collateral.
Looking at the best result calculated on the paper, "200 billion yen", Ueto Masami frowned.
"It's still too little. Report to the president first."
Just as Ueto Masami was about to call Kozaki, someone entered her office.
"Ms. Ueto, you have a visitor outside. The other party said it was your junior schoolmate Sachiko Kamachi."
"Take the person to the reception room. I'll be there in ten minutes."
"Hayi."
Ueto Masami dialed the number and said into the receiver, "Huiwen, please inform the president that the maximum number I calculated is 200 billion yen."
"Got it. The work report of the South Office has not been submitted yet. Hurry up."
"It will be delivered tomorrow."
"good."
At half past three, the temperature was still rising, and cicada monkeys were chirping on the tender bamboos.
"It's not even the end of the month yet, and the cicada monkeys have already appeared?" Nan Yi looked up at the gray thin-winged cicada and couldn't help but wonder, "Shouldn't they appear at the end of June? There's still half a month left. Is the weather this year abnormal?"
Nan Yi looked up at the sky for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on. He packed up his things and called the school beauty and the tiger cub to go out.
In room 8716 of the Great Wall Hotel, the original red copper sign with the words "Genzhengmiao" on the door has been taken down and replaced with a copper sign with the words "Xiangkeng" specially marked on it in particularly large fonts, for fear that others would miss it.
"Nan Yi, you're here at the right time. We are selecting advertising characters for leggings." Chen Huaige shouted as he saw Nan Yi.
"Who did you pick?"
Nan Yi walked to the sofa and nodded .
This girl, those little canine teeth are so eye-catching.
"These are the people we have selected, take a look." Zhang Yimou handed a stack of photos to Nan Yi.
Nan Yi took the photos and looked at the top one.
Very familiar, Yin Tingru, this is the person Nan Yi thinks is suitable. He put the photo aside and looked at the second one.
After identifying for a long time, Nan Yi was sure that the person in the second photo was He Yu.
"Who is this?"
Nan Yi picked up the photo and showed it to Chen Huaige and the others.
"He Zhao is now on the set of Journey to the West." Zhang Yimou said, "The name and age are on the back of the photo."
Nan Yi turned the photo over and looked at it, then asked, "Have you seen the real person?"
"I have seen her. She has a great figure and is a good fit."
"Um."
Nan Yi nodded and continued looking at the photos.
The third picture is the little tiger tooth on the sofa. Lao Zhang’s spring has come.
Nan Yi smiled knowingly and then looked at the fourth picture.
Tsk, this fourth photo also surprised Nan Yi a little. It was actually Tao Huijun. Was she already famous at this time?
Nan Yi couldn't remember when "Yang Naiwu and Xiaobaicai" was broadcast. Tao Huiqi, who didn't play Xiaobaicai, was just an ordinary Yue opera actor. Even in Zhejiang Province, there probably weren't many people who knew her.
In the fifth photo, the woman looks a bit heroic. She is not particularly beautiful, but her temperament is very special.
Nan Yi felt that she looked very familiar, and immediately he remembered, isn’t this the most beautiful Hu Sanniang? What was her name?
When you turn the photo over, you can see the words "Zheng Xi".
Yes, that’s the unfortunate name.
After sighing for a while, Nan Yi continued reading and found several familiar ones, either "Journey to the West" or "Dream of Red Mansions". It seems that Lao Zhang and Lao Chen have visited the two crews to search for their homes.
After reading it once, Nan Yi read it again, and finally pulled out the photos of Yin Tingru, Zheng Xi and Xiao Huya, "These three, plus Gong Xue, the others are good-looking, but their temperaments are too cold, and they are not suitable for shooting leggings advertisements.
In addition, the commercial to be filmed will also include a portable tape recorder. The manufacturer has given it a new name, 'Walkman,' and the brand is 'Code 209.' I'll call someone to send over a sample later."
"Code name 209, sounds familiar." Zhang Yimou said.
Chen Huaige laughed and said, "Old Zhang, have you forgotten the spy 209 in "The Secret Post of Yangcheng" who only appeared in the mouths of other characters?"
"I remember now. I said it sounded familiar. Why is it called this brand?"
"The factory is in Yangcheng. The boss's mother is the eighth child in the family. Everyone calls her Bagu [the heroine and villain in "The Secret Sentinel of Yangcheng"]. Do you understand?"
"Then why not just call her Eighth Aunt?" Chen Huaige asked.
"The Walkman is an electronic product, and spies are always related to radio waves and codes. The code name is 209, so when people hear it, they will think of spies. In our previous movies, when big spies appeared, they would carry advanced radios with them. With this connection, doesn't the Walkman seem advanced?" Nan Yi made up a story.
Zhang Yimou smacked his lips, "It's a bit far-fetched."
"It's far-fetched, but there's nothing we can do about it. The Walkman ad not only has to showcase the product, but also promote the brand 'Code 209'. The manufacturer will also produce other products in the future, such as this..." Nan Yi took out two pagers and electronic watches from his military bag, "This is an electronic watch, also a product of the same factory."
Zhang Yimou took the electronic watch, played with it for a while, and said with a smile: "It's exactly the same as the pager I saw in Shanghai. The boss in the south is smart. Young people will definitely like it. How much is it?"
"It's about a few dozen yuan. This thing is sold to people who can't afford a pager. It doesn't have a calling function. You can only check the time and set an alarm." Nan Yi approached Chen and Zhang and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the factory is still developing a vibration function. When the alarm goes off, this thing will vibrate. If you tie it to your pants, hehe."
Current pagers do not have a vibration function, not because it is technically impossible, but because there is no market demand. Pagers are still quite new in any country.
In a crowd, when your pager beeps, you can take it out and look at it. It is a very prestigious thing. You may receive a few envious voices, "Wow, you are so cool, you have a pager!"
"Ha ha."
"hey-hey."
The laughter of the three people made Xiao Huya beside them confused.
Nan Yi stopped laughing and started to care about Gong Xue whom he hadn't seen for a long time. "Where's Gong Xue? Is she out?"
Zhang Yimou took out the cigarette box, glanced at the little tiger teeth, and then put it back in his pocket. "There are quite a few students coming for the art exam these days, and Gong Xue went to pick some people."
"Oh, I've thought of a few advertising scripts. I'll call Chief Yang tomorrow night, and we'll discuss them together and come up with the final plan as soon as possible.
The shooting date for the leggings commercial can be set first, and the people who need to be invited can be invited over. Accommodation can be arranged in a low-rent building, which has many empty rooms. I'll have someone go over to clean it up tomorrow.
The necessary facilities have been added, and there is a separate bathroom, so the conditions are no worse than those in a guesthouse.
There is also the issue of food, which I will take care of as well. When it is time for meals, I will have someone deliver meals to the crew. I also have a van, which can be used as a temporary dressing room by covering the windows..."
Blah blah, Nan Yi explained all the logistical matters, no matter how big or small, he took into consideration everything that should be considered.
"Very good. You have done everything except filming. Send someone to go with me and Lao Zhang tomorrow to recruit people. We have already informed them and they will be there at any time. We just need to coordinate with the company."
"That's no problem. Just make a list for me later and I'll ask someone at the unit to coordinate. We won't make things difficult for anyone." Nan Yi nodded and said.
It is not uncommon for people from film studios and film and television units to be borrowed by other units or to take the initiative to find ways to play a role or help out. This is very common in the industry, but it does not mean that individuals can do private work outside at will. They always have to inform the unit in advance.
Some units also require individuals to pay a certain amount of remuneration to the unit in proportion. After all, the unit still pays you a salary. It is not justified to work hard outside while receiving the unit's salary and not give any benefits to the unit.
Now all the people working in the domestic film and television industry have their own units, and there are no "individual actors". Every person who comes to the crew needs to communicate with his unit. If they are difficult to communicate, Nan Yi will have to help communicate.
Nan Yi and the other two were discussing some details, and around five o'clock, Gong Xue came back.
"Did you get anything?" Nan Yi asked when he saw someone.
"There was a very nice one with a great figure. I asked her for a photo. Take a look."
Nan Yi took the photo handed to him by Gong Xue and looked at it for a while. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. Suddenly he remembered something, so he covered the forehead of the woman in the photo with his hand, and then it suddenly dawned on him - it was Yuan Ziyi from "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".
"Students coming for the art exam?"
"Yes, I will be back soon. I need to decide right away whether I need it or not."
"Yes, of course. Bring the person to my office tomorrow. I want to see the real person." Nan Yi responded hurriedly.
Nan Yi not only has to shoot TV commercials, but also post print ads in the Asia Mall and print celebrity posters. Needless to say, the background of the posters must be the Asia Mall. The posters are not for sale, but will be given away as a gift with purchases of a certain amount.
Therefore, he needs a lot of actresses with good figures and a certain degree of fame to work with Asia.
In addition, when new clothes are put on the shelves, we need to invite a few actresses to take some photos and posters, and we will not leave out any of the exterior walls of shopping malls, buses, and wall advertisements.
In addition, Nan Yi has many promotional plans centered around "celebrity". While everyone's asking prices are not expensive now, he wants to make good use of it and have the locals in Beijing mention Asia Mall when they introduce Beijing to outsiders.
It seems that Nan Yi went a bit too far in promoting the Asia Mall, pushing up costs infinitely. This is actually because there is an invisible plan buried in Nan Yi's plan.
In the future, when he withdraws from Asia Qing Company and lets Yang Kaiyan take charge, he will wait and see if there is a chance to replicate the Asia Mall in other cities and create the prototype of the Asia Commercial Real Estate Trust in the 1980s.
This is not impossible. Once the Asia Mall is successful, imitators will naturally appear in other regions. As long as the imitator fails in investment and wants to open a mall but is worried that it will not be able to do it well, the city will naturally take the initiative to discuss cooperation with Asia Qing Company.
Even if no one comes to discuss cooperation, it doesn't matter. Yaqing Company can take the initiative. As long as it can replicate an Asia in other cities and succeed, the second and third partners will come one after another.
Nan Yi stayed at the Great Wall Hotel until half past five and then left.
Back at the old house, Liu Zhen and Lin Qin were sitting on the sofa, stirring something in a glass bowl while watching TV.
"Lin Qin, why are you here today?"
"Don't ask about women's affairs. Have green bean porridge with cold onions for dinner."
"Lin Qin is from Qiaocheng, why doesn't he eat garlic noodles? Isn't mung bean porridge with onions a dish that people in central Anhui eat?"
"Mr. Nan..."
"Why call him President Nan? Just call him Nan Yi." Liu Zhen interrupted Lin Qin.
"Uh, Nan..."
Nan Yi smacked his lips and said, "Liu Zhen is right, just call me Nan Yi, I'm not even older than you."
After hearing what Nan Yi said, Lin Qin paused and said, "Some people in Qiaocheng also eat mung bean porridge. My family likes to eat it. Every summer, we eat it every other day."
"I thought you people in Qiaocheng would feel uncomfortable if you didn't eat noodles for a day."
"We like to eat noodles, but we can't live without them for a day," said Lin Qin.
"Oh, I remember last time I heard you say that you live near Dongguan. Wasn't there a Chinese medicinal materials market being built there last year? Has it been completed?"
"It's already done. They just built five steel-frame solar greenhouses with ventilation on all sides. Only a row of buildings were built on the north side facing the street. Those buildings are not markets, but market command office buildings ."
"It's okay that the market is simple. The main thing is the change in consciousness. Now those drug dealers can do business openly. This is great news for them. Your Qiao City will soon become rich."
Lin Qin said, "That would be great. My grandfather was in the medicinal materials business, but he stopped in the 1960s. Last year, the Big Pharmacy was built, which is the Chinese Medicinal Materials World. The locals in Qiaocheng call it the Big Pharmacy. When he heard that a big medicine store was going to be built last year, my grandfather wanted to start the medicinal materials business again. He also asked my father to quit his job and work with him, but my father did not agree."
"How old is your grandpa?"
"Sixty-eight."
"Your grandfather is truly amazing. I must meet him if I have a chance." Nan Yi said with emotion and then asked, "Has he started working now?"
"We can't stop him at home. He has rented a stall in a big pharmacy to sell our local Boshao and Bosangpi. Business is pretty good. On September 9, we will hold a pharmaceutical expo, and my grandfather is still thinking about making a big splash."
"That's great. Do you know what medicinal herbs are being traded in large volumes right now?"
Lin Qin thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much. From what I learned during the time I went home for the New Year, it seems that the sales volume is relatively average, not particularly good, nor particularly bad.
We have a deep background in the medicinal materials trade, and there are many people who understand medicinal materials. In addition, the national medicinal materials market, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, pharmacies, and individual Chinese medicine clinics are all short of medicinal materials, so we will not have trouble selling any medicinal materials for a while."
"Understood."
You can’t get anything out of Lin Qin. If you want to know the actual situation, you have to go there in person.
The Reclamation Group has its own deer farm and ginseng garden, and will plan to grow other medicinal materials in the future. The Third Biopharmaceutical Company is itself a pharmaceutical company, and it will inevitably have to deal with medicinal materials in the future. No matter from which aspect, Nanyi needs to pay attention to the medicinal materials trading market.
"Nan Yi, there are Chinese dishes in the kitchen, go and cook them." Liu Zhen said suddenly.
"Stir-fry or make Chinese vegetable pancakes?"
Liu Zhen asked back: "What do you think of Wuwei's food?"
"You can only make Hancai porridge when you eat Wuwei, and you can't eat too much. Next time, read the whole book. Don't just look at the benefits, pay attention to the dosage."
Liu Zhen's feeding method is the mainstream extensive feeding method. She does not have Nan Yi's rich experience in breastfeeding, nor is she as meticulous as him. Nan Yi has some complaints about this.
"I see. Then make less and use the remaining ingredients to make Hancai pancakes. Are pancakes made from sweet potato flour?"
"Um."
Nan Yi nodded and walked towards the kitchen.
