Volume 5: The Age of Storms Chapter 0639 What can you rely on?
the next day.
Nan Yi and Xian Weimin went to Xiangmi Lake Resort. Xian Weimin not only gave the account book of Jigong Recycling Company to Nan Yi, but also called the presidents of the subsidiaries and subsidiaries over.
"This is Ueda Masao from Tokyo Nichizuru Company, this is Qian Changsheng from Hong Kong Nan Holdings, this is Lu Ziye from Shanghai Hujiu Holdings, and this is Shi Bicheng from Baoshen Holdings. You should report to President Nan and Chairman Nan on the areas you are responsible for."
Ueda Masao stood up and bowed to Nan Yi, saying, "President Nan, Nichizuru Company has inherited the business of the former headquarters, and is mainly responsible for the recycling of used Japanese home appliances, and also manages the Manila Electronics Processing Plant."
"Okay, Kangba Dad."
“Chairman Nan, due to the relative scarcity of forest resources in the mainland, especially the serious lag in the construction of fast-growing forests for papermaking, most of the high-end paper raw materials need to be imported waste paper and wood pulp. Waste paper from Western countries has become an important way to solve the bottleneck of paper raw materials in the mainland.
The threshold for this field is not high. There are many businessmen doing this in Xiangkeng. Xiangkeng has become a distribution center for waste paper and wood pulp. Therefore, the main business of our Gangnan Holdings is waste paper recycling.
Once the company has established a firm foothold in Hong Kong, the next step will be to expand our business to the United States and build packaging plants in several important states in the United States."
Nan Yi nodded, "Hello."
"Chairman Nan, the main business of Hujiu Holdings is to collect junk, all kinds of junk. As long as it can be sold for money, we will collect it." Lu Ziye said with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Zi Ye, collecting junk has a bad reputation, but it is a good industry to make a fortune quietly. There is gold in junk, there are antiques in junk, and the profit margin of junk is more than 30%.
What is the probability that unfilial children sell their parents’ rags and shoes to junk collectors? And what is the probability that there is money hidden in those rags and shoes?
What is the probability that an average person forgets or loses a valuable item hidden among the junk?
The probability is not too high, but a junk collector would encounter this situation seven or eight times a year, right? What if there is a lot of money, and if the valuable things are worth more than just a little bit?
These have little to do with the company itself. The probability of things and money falling into the hands of the company is not high . Even if they do fall into the hands of the staff, they should be intercepted after passing through the hands of the staff. This is difficult to prevent and cannot be prevented.
We simply don't care. Whoever picks up the money, gold and silver jewelry will own it. Our attention is focused on the rags themselves and those dusty pearls that have survived multiple rounds of searching but have not been picked up yet.
Ziye, do you know the benefits of doing this? "
Lu Ziye thought for a moment and said, "The source of goods is stable, and the staff is stable."
Nan Yi stroked his chin and said, "It's almost there. Keep thinking about it. Think about the benefits that everyone can share. I'll give you a week to submit a plan."
"yes."
Lu Ziye responded.
"Nansheng, Baoshen Holdings' main business is the recycling of scrap metals and scrap machinery," said Shi Bicheng.
"Well, I don't understand your part either. Let's go and see. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"It's OK."
"Okay, the four of you are free to move around. There are many entertainment activities here, and everyone can go and experience them." Nan Yi said, turning to Xian Weimin and said, "Weimin, I will pay for everyone's consumption personally."
"Okay, that's just right for the company to save some expenses." Xian Weimin said happily.
"You're such a loser, you're so slow in collecting the junk, I almost couldn't help myself."
"Can you blame me? Tokyo was so busy at the time. Also, you only said you were collecting junk and didn't analyze the market prospects for me. How would I know there were so many ways to collect junk?" Xian Weimin said indifferently.
"You're just kidding." Nan Yi shook his head and said, "Just do it well. This industry has great prospects. When you go back, ask Nanguang Paper to send a team to investigate. The joint venture with the paper mill that I decided two years ago must go ahead."
"Pull off the street, I am just delaying, but you have been delaying for two years just to take care of the child?"
"That's not what I call delay. It's called sharpening the knife before chopping wood. Haven't you noticed that the domestic economic situation has become clearer this year, and what can and cannot be done has also become clearer." Nan Yi argued.
In fact, Nan Yi did delay some things while taking care of the children. Apart from the Nan family's basic plan, several other plans that should have been implemented long ago were delayed. In Nan Yi's heart, these plans were far less important than taking care of and educating the children.
"That's right. There are fewer ambiguous things."
"The business environment will get better and better, and there will be more and more competitors, many of whom are smart people. You should be more cautious in the future and stop trusting verbal agreements. The word 'trust' that was deeply rooted in the lives of businessmen in our country has been lost."
"Can you trust an agreement on paper?" Xian Weimin asked.
"Be skeptical. We should continue to carry forward our fine traditions and attach importance to legal affairs. I don't want to see any incident where we are cheated because of the terms of the contract. If it happens, I will doubt your IQ and the character of the person who handled it.
Again, we should not mistreat the people who make money for us, nor should we let them treat us as fools. They can continue to work with us if they want, or they can leave if they want to, and they are free to come and go. "
Nan Yi made a big turn when he said this, "But don't give them the illusion that they can dig a big hole and get away cleanly. Whoever dares to cheat us will be beaten."
"To what extent?"
"To what extent?" Nan Yi smiled contemptuously, "No matter how much money is spent, digging pits, setting traps, anything is fine, and we will suppress the traitor until he feels that death is his best choice."
"You are really cruel."
"If there is a traitor, there will be two. If we don't raise the cost of betrayal, we won't have to charge into battle outside in the future. We can just focus on dealing with our own people. How many people are willing to be under someone else's command for a long time? They always want to start their own business and be the master of their own house.
The accumulated funds, experience, and even customer resources can be taken away by anyone who wants to leave as long as he has the ability. What we need to do is to create a business that is not easily replaced, that is, to highlight the role of the platform. "
Xian Weimin thought for a moment and said, "Do you mean to weaken the importance of individuals?"
"That's about right. We focus on the platform and the team, and make sure that the platform can continue to operate even without anyone." Nan Yi said, leaning back in his chair and turning his head to look out the window. "I haven't ridden the tallest Ferris wheel in Asia yet. Should I try it?"
"No, I'm afraid of heights."
"roller coaster?"
"If I don't go, I'll throw up."
"nightclub?"
"Hey, you can go for this one. I'm not afraid of the second barrel."
"You're on to your lungs."
…
June 11th.
The farce of contracting Wenchangwei has already begun. Nan Yi was pushing open the gate of the courtyard with a hoe on his shoulder when he saw Ren Youwei peeking inside.
"Here you are. Can you do farm work?"
"I was born into a poor family." Ren Youwei said.
"Here you go, I'll get another one."
Nan Yi handed the hoe on his shoulder to Ren Youwei and went to the yard to get another one.
He took Ren Youwei all the way to the barbed wire fence. As a "trustworthy unit", Nan Yi easily took Ren Youwei to his own vegetable garden.
"Hedge the weeds between the ridges, and then pull out the weeds between the vegetables, and you'll get your six work points for today."
"I am a strong laborer, but I only get 6 work points?"
"Six is too many. This job is worth three work points at most. Don't slack off. You won't be able to work when the sun gets too strong."
Nan Yi said this and started working on it.
Ren Youwei looked at Nan Yi, walked to another ridge and started working.
There were only 8 mu of land in total, and two people were working on it. Although they took their time, they finished the work in about half an hour.
Nan Yi gathered the grass that the two had hoed up and put it on the open space next to the vegetable field to dry, then walked to Ren Youwei, who had become dirty.
"I can see that you haven't done farm work for many years." Nan Yi pointed at Ren Youwei's white shirt which had become black and white in patches.
"After I went to college, I seldom did farm work, but I did a lot of work on construction sites."
Ren Youwei rolled down the sleeves of his shirt that were wrapped around his biceps, shook them a few times, rolled them up again, took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket and lit it for himself.
Nan Yi took out his mobile phone and drank some water, then handed it to Ren Youwei, "Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered?"
Ren Youwei took the mobile phone, glanced at it, and took a sip. He then handed the mobile phone back to Nan Yi, "Someone told me that he could get a TV, so I gave him the money first, 2 million."
"Did you find the person, or did the person find you?"
"They found me."
"I understand."
Nan Yi nodded without asking for details.
There was no need to ask further questions, Nan Yi could figure out the general situation: the money was given to the other party, but the other party did not give him a TV, and the money could not be taken back.
That’s the summary; the details are more complicated.
Shenzhen Nan Electronics is a subsidiary of Shenzhen Oil Group, a state-owned enterprise. Ren Youwei must have not followed the formal procedures to withdraw 2 million yuan from the account, and there must have been some illegal operations. The person who could take away the 2 million yuan could definitely not be an ordinary person.
"Fired?"
"yes."
"What are your plans?"
“Start a business, make money, and pay it back.”
"Have you decided what to do?"
"I have no idea." Ren Youwei threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. "It seems like I can do anything, but it seems like nothing is easy. Do you have any suggestions?"
"It's not hard to make money. There are many opportunities now. The key is to ask yourself, are you cut out for business? Are you willing to bend down, or are you tougher than others? The clothing business in Dongmen is pretty good. You can make hundreds of thousands a year at least. If I lend you a shop, we can split it 50-50. Can you guarantee that you'll give me 300,000 or 400,000 by the end of the year?"
"Selling clothes..." Ren Youwei thought for a long time before saying, "I can't guarantee it."
"Yes, you can't guarantee that, and I can't cooperate with you to sell clothes. Think about it carefully and come up with a business that has a large market, that you can do and that others can't. State-owned enterprises rely on monopoly, what can you rely on?"
