Volume 5: The Age of Storms Chapter 0647 Beautiful Cousin
"precise."
"Oh, I have to meet him then."
"Any ideas?" Leng Yan asked.
"What ideas can I have? I just hope that everyone in the factory office can be simpler. Before we can fight against foreign enemies, we must first stabilize the internal situation. It will be easier to deal with people if we keep things simple." Nan Yi said dimly.
"My big boss, don't think about how to deal with the people in the factory first, think about the money first. I will go to Bagui for consultation the day after tomorrow. Even if the technology can be transferred, it can't be done without money."
"It's not difficult to find money. It's not difficult to sell 35% of the shares. The difficult part is to get a high valuation."
Leng Yan thought for a moment and said, "After piecing together all the pieces, the valuation can only be 5 million at most. Any higher is unrealistic because the bank debt is too high. The factory's previous products such as Biwensan, Angong Niuhuang Wan, and Tianwang Buxin Dan are not exclusive products. We have no technology, no assets, no..."
"Alright, you don't have to pour cold water on me." Nan Yi waved his hand, interrupting Leng Yan's words, "1.75 million is not enough, and I am unwilling to sell my shares at such a low price. Since I have done it, I plan to do my best. When I leave, I hope that Shengchen Pharmaceutical will be thriving, not flooding.
I heard from Liu Zhen that her teacher participated in a discussion meeting on the feasibility of establishing a stock market. It is very likely that we will establish a stock market in our country. You have to take Shengchen Pharmaceutical public. "
"I?"
Leng Yan pointed at her nose.
"Yes, you." Nan Yi nodded and said, "This time it's the same as Yaqing, I'll be the pioneer while others pick the peaches, this time you stay as the manager, and you have to give up the position of chairman.
It will be done in several steps. The first step is to raise funds internally in the factory tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Needless to say, it will not be smooth. If it is not enforced, we may not be able to sell a single share.
The second step is to negotiate with the bank about debt-to-equity swap, turning a 17.2 million loan into a 35% stake. The bank will definitely agree.
The third step is to find someone outside to sell the shares, but it is estimated that only a few shares can be sold here and there;
All three steps are not going well. For the sake of the development of Shengchen Pharmaceutical, I can only make up my mind and mobilize my relatives and friends to buy it. First you, then Liu Zhen, Yaqing Company, etc. We will buy most of the shares ourselves."
Leng Yan followed Nan Yi's idea and continued: "Whenever any of these three steps are not carried out smoothly, we should go to the district government to complain and let them know that it is difficult for us; when the situation of Shengchen Pharmaceutical improves, we should also transfer some shares to internal employees and external relatives?"
"Yes, you and I have to give up all the shares we bought. If we want to execute this plan well, we need a reporter to follow up and report, "Three years of hard work, Shengchen Pharmaceuticals is reborn from the ashes." Three years later, I hope this will be the title of the report."
Leng Yan: "You've thought of what's going to happen three years later. Have you thought of a title for the first article?"
“‘He said: I’m tired of riding in cars’, with the subtitle ‘Nan Yi, the director of Shengchen Pharmaceutical Factory, who underwent a difficult restructuring’, and a photo of me pushing my bicycle forward while being soaked through but still standing straight on a rainy day.”
Leng Yan: "Are you going to act out the scene of selling your car to buy stocks?"
"How is that possible? I only said that I was tired of riding in a car and wanted to ride a bicycle. Everything else is just speculation by the reporter. This should be reflected in the report. The drama you mentioned should be written from the first-person perspective of the reporter, only reflecting our difficulties. It cannot be written in a lofty way, otherwise it will easily backfire in the future."
"Gao Shang, are you worthy?" Leng Yan said disdainfully.
"If you dare to disrespect your superiors again, I will send you directly to Africa to be the concubine of the chief there. With your looks, you will definitely not be able to exchange them for diamond mines, but you can still exchange them for dozens of camels." Nan Yi's eyes deliberately swept over Leng Yan's body.
"Go to hell!" Leng Yan spat first, then said delicately, "Dear boss of Nanjing University."
"You're really good at this. You even tried the eat and vomit trick on me."
As Nan Yi and the other man were talking, they had already arrived at the small canteen, where a dozen workers were chatting and laughing as they dismantled the house.
"It seems that the workers have been resentful of the canteen for a long time." Leng Yan said with emotion.
“The factory office is a group of vested interests and should have kept a low profile, but this small canteen blatantly displays the inequality between them and the workers. It would be strange if the workers didn’t hate them.
In the future, we should not emphasize the spirit of ownership in the factory until the workers become the owners of the factory. Now they have no obligation to be responsible for the factory, but only need to be responsible for the wages they receive. "
"This argument is different from the current mainstream thinking. It's a bit dangerous to say it out loud." Leng Yan said worriedly.
"Just do it and don't say anything. It's almost time. Go to the door to pick someone up. I just told Shi Hongqi that we need to strengthen the factory's security. Lawyer Jin may not be able to get in." Nan Yi said after looking at his watch.
On the first day at the Jiuyao Factory, Nan Yi arranged for the workers to do a general cleaning. On the second day, he found a car to go to the brewery and bring back a truckload of broken beer bottles. He asked the workers to mix the broken bottles with cement and fill the factory walls with them.
Nan Yi has already looked at the raw material warehouse. There are no raw materials in it. In addition, the original three drugs are not suitable for continued production. The workers have no work to do, but they cannot be left idle. If they are idle, they will feel anxious, and the people who have just been calmed down will become restless again.
In the morning, Nan Yi went to the First Infectious Disease Hospital and inquired about the 84 disinfectant.
The matter was simple and not complicated. All one had to do was pay the technology transfer fee, which was not a lot of money, only 150,000. With such loose conditions, Nan Yi asked about how many companies had transferred technology before, and the answer he got was 37 companies.
After getting this answer, Nan Yi calculated the cost of producing 84 disinfectant in his mind. After coming up with a number, he quickly gave up the idea of producing 84 disinfectant.
There is too much competition and the costs are too high, so short-term speculative profits are not great and are only suitable for long-term gains.
As his task failed, Nan Yi did not return to the Jiuyao Factory. He spent one dollar to buy a bag of green apples on the roadside and turned a corner to Xidan Street.
Wandering around the street while chewing an apple.
Stalls are not allowed to be set up at this section of the intersection. There are red armbands on duty and they will patrol back and forth every ten to twenty minutes. The first time they stop someone, they will persuade them kindly, but the second time, they will not be polite and will confiscate items if necessary and impose fines if necessary.
But this doesn't bother me as a street vendor. If I'm not allowed to set up my stall, I'll just walk around and sell.
Those who sell smuggled cigarettes hang a wooden box similar to those in the Republic of China period around their necks. They sell cigarettes as they walk, and then go to corners to restock when they are finished. Those who sell snacks carry baskets or net bags. Some who sell furs just hold the furs in their hands, find a place to stand and wait for customers to come up and ask for the price.
"Sister-in-law, how's business?"
Nan Yi found a woman selling sugar-roasted chestnuts among all the vendors. This woman was called Wenren Lanyue, the one who was going to have a blind date with Nan Tieli. Now she is Nan Yi's sister-in-law and Nan Tieli's wife.
Coincidentally, Wenren Lanyue and her second aunt did not come to the blind date that year. It turned out that on the way to Duanjinlou, her second aunt suddenly fell ill and happened to meet Nan Tieli, who took her second aunt to the hospital.
Later, after her second aunt recovered from her illness and was discharged from the hospital, she went to Yi Jinru to explain the matter. Once the matter was opened up, the two sides arranged another blind date. Once the people met, things became a natural thing. With a kind heart and a good family background, how could the girl not like him? Nan Tieli and Wenren Lanyue soon got together.
Wenren Lanyue said happily: "It's good. I have sold nearly 20 kilograms and earned more than 60 yuan."
Even decades later, it was difficult to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts in spring and summer, and they were almost invisible on the market.
The old fruits from the previous year have been sold out, and this year's new fruits have not yet come down. The sale of sugar-roasted chestnuts in June is an exclusive business, and there is no other way. Even if the price is a little higher, those who are greedy will still buy it.
Wenren Lanyue's sugar-roasted chestnuts are sold at four or five yuan per pound, but there is still a steady stream of buyers, especially some young men who want to please their girlfriends, who have to grit their teeth and buy them even if they are short of money.
"Is anyone causing trouble?"
"No, but a lot of people asked me where I got the chestnuts, and I didn't tell them."
"Sister-in-law, have an apple. I just bought it on the roadside and I've washed it." Nan Yi said as he handed the bag of apples to Wenren Lanyue.
Wenren Lanyue pushed the bag back and said, "I won't eat this anymore. My hands will become sticky after eating this, and it will be hard to sell things later."
"Oh, then you continue selling, I'll go over there." Nan Yi said, pointing in a direction casually.
"Nan Yi, wait a minute." Wenren Lanyue stopped Nan Yi and said, "Ruochan is at the intersection ahead|traffic booth, help me check on her."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Nan Yi ran here just to see Wenren Lanyue. Nan Tieli is a taciturn person, but Nan Yi's sister-in-law is not. She is gentle and virtuous, but also shrewd and outgoing. She has the potential to be a gold medal salesperson. In addition, the fact that Nan Tieli did not become a stepfather is enough to prove that she has good character.
Shengchen Pharmaceutical needs to establish its own sales channels and cannot be strangled by Beijing pharmaceutical companies. It is imperative that it builds an iron army of pharmaceutical representatives who can drink, brag and flatter.
Nan Yi wanted to support Wenren Lanyue to be the deputy helmsman of this iron army.
After saying goodbye to Wenren Lanyue, Nan Yi went to the traffic booth at the Xidan intersection. The booth here is called the Red Scarf Booth. Every day, red scarves from several primary schools near Xidan would take turns to clean the booth and stand on the roadside with metal megaphones to promote traffic safety knowledge.
Nan Yi nodded to a female student holding a megaphone. After receiving a sweet smile from the female student, he leaned on the iron railing beside the sentry box and watched quietly.
The female student is Nan Ruochan, who studies at one of the best primary schools affiliated to a normal school in Beijing. The school is not too far from here, and this area belongs to the red scarf activity area of their school. Nan Ruoyin has a bar on her arm and is a team leader, so she must participate in the red scarf activities.
The little girl Nan Ruochan is very interested in chemistry. If her interest in chemistry remains unchanged, the joke that Nan Yi made to Chen Feng might come true, and he might really pave a smooth path for the little girl to climb up.
Just like how Nan Yi helped the Liu family and prevented the three brothers of the Liu family from going astray, this was not only his duty as a son-in-law, but also for the sake of Nan Wu. Nan Yi wanted to create a glittering circle of relatives for his son.
The Nan family has no shortage of businessmen, but rather lacks an academic master. Nan Ruochan has this potential, so Nan Yi, his cheap uncle, is naturally willing to contribute money and effort.
Doing a favor to others will benefit yourself as well, and it is good. Moreover, if one person succeeds, others will not benefit and will criticize him or her.
If you are a politician and do not arrange for your family to be included, it is called selflessness and integrity; if you do business and your family beg for food, you will never be in the right in any debate.
Taking advantage of the break when Nan Ruochan was changing shifts, Nan Yi walked up to her and said a few words to her, then left Xidan.
In less than half an hour, Nan Yi's men appeared on the edge of Houhai Wild Duck Island.
A radio was hung on a tree, and I listened to the crosstalk "Buying a Monkey" by the two old men Ma Sanli and Wang Fengshan. I set up the folding picnic table, lit the alcohol stove, put the teapot on it, set up the chairs, lay on them, threw out the fishing hook, and listened to the crosstalk mixed with the sizzling sound and the gurgling of hot water. It was so leisurely.
It was almost time for dinner, so Nan Yi asked Tiger Cub to go to Mingzhu Banquet to get some food. He planned to stay here until dark today.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Just as Nan Yi collapsed for a while, his pager started beeping.
After pressing the button and taking a look, he found that he didn't recognize the number and there was no digital code. Nan Yi was too lazy to call back. Several acquaintances had their own digital codes, so he could tell who was calling at a glance.
Nan Yi didn't reply, but unexpectedly the other party was quite persistent and kept calling him over and over again. In just over ten minutes, he called him seven or eight times. It seemed that he had to reply at all.
Just then, Tiger Cub came back with food, so Nan Yi asked him to answer the phone while she and the school beauty ate first.
"You haven't had a vacation for a long time. Take some time to take a two-month vacation. You can go wherever you want and relax." Nan Yi said to the school beauty while eating.
"I don't have anywhere I want to go, so I'd better rest later."
Nan Yi nodded and said, "Okay, just do as you wish. You can take more time off then."
"Nansheng, it's Old Madam Yi calling. She said she has something urgent to discuss with you." After a while, the tiger cub came back and said to Nan Yi.
"It's not a call from the store." Nan Yi muttered and asked, "Did they say anything?"
"No, I'll just ask you to go back to the family compound."
"Okay, let's set off after dinner." Nan Yi said helplessly.
The Nan family moved out of the staff quarters several years ago. It was unlikely that it was the Nan family's business that Yi Jinru asked him to go to the staff quarters now.
After dinner, Nan Yi packed up his things and rushed to the staff quarters.
When he arrived at the Nan family's house in the staff compound, Nan Yi saw four strangers, two middle-aged and two young, three men and one woman, sitting in the living room.
After careful identification, Nan Yi could recognize one of the middle-aged men, his nominal uncle Yi Haohan, whom Nan Yi had met once when he was six or seven years old.
Looking at the other middle-aged man next to him, he looks similar to Yi Haohan, so he is probably his second uncle Yi Haofan. The man and woman over there should be his cousin Yi Hongxuan and cousin Yi Qianxi.
Nan Yi had only heard of these three people but had never seen them.
Nan Yi started to wonder, "Yi Jinru tolerated him for Nan Tieli's sake, but the Yi family didn't have to tolerate him as well. Why did Yi Jinru call him over when the Yi family came?"
"Uncle."
"Haha, we haven't seen each other for almost twenty years, and Nan Yi still recognizes me." Yi Haohan said as he adjusted his glasses.
Nan Yi's nominal grandfather seemed to be a scholar in the Republic of China period. He once worked in the education department of the Vinegar Province, so he attached great importance to the education of his children. Yi Haohan was a college student in the 1950s, Yi Haofan graduated from high school, and Yi Jinru, the youngest, also graduated from junior high school.
As for why each one has a lower level of education than the other, this was due to the general environment at the time and the status of Nan Yi’s grandfather, not because of personal ability.
These were what Nan Yi had heard from the conversations between Yi Jinru and Nan Huaiqiu. He didn't hear them all. He didn't know his step-grandfather's name, nor did he know why a man from the Northeast would go to work for Yan Laoxi.
"Uncle, this is the second uncle, right?"
"Yes, this is your second uncle." Yi Haohan pointed at Yi Haofan, then pointed at Yi Hongxuan and said, "This is my son, your cousin Yi Hongxuan; this is your cousin Yi Qianxi, your second uncle's daughter."
"Hello, second uncle, hello, cousin, hello." Nan Yi greeted the three of them one by one, and then asked, "Why is mom not here?"
"She went to call your dad."
"Oh, Mom didn't give you the new address. We moved several years ago."
"The address was given to us, but when we asked the driver on the way, he couldn't tell us clearly where your new address was, so we had no choice but to come here," said Yi Haohan.
"It's not easy to find. There are many alleys in Beijing. People who don't live nearby can only tell you which alley is roughly where. Few people can tell you in detail. Uncle, second uncle, you guys sit down first. I'll make a phone call and call a car. When mom comes back, we'll go to the new house."
"Okay, Nan Yi, you go."
Nan Yi ran out of the family compound and made a phone call. When he returned to the Nan family, Yi Jinru had already returned.
"Mom, didn't I tell you to add 911 when you called me? I didn't recognize the number so I ignored it. If you hadn't called me several times in a row, I wouldn't have answered."
"I forgot about it when I was in a hurry. How many cars did you bring?" Yi Jinru said.
"I've called a taxi, it will be here in a while."
"It's good to have a car. Your uncle and his family haven't had lunch yet." Yi Jinru said, then turned to Yi Haohan and the others and said , "Brother, brother, we have a restaurant at home. Let's go there for dinner. I'm in the restaurant every day, so there's nothing to eat at home."
"Jinru, just take care of the arrangements. We came here in a hurry this time. We are really sorry to trouble you."
"Brother, please don't say that. It's not a big deal for a brother to come to my sister's place. I've wanted to go back for a long time, but I had to work in the past few years, and after I retired, I had to take care of my granddaughter. I haven't had the time to go back. I haven't visited my parents for a long time."
As she spoke, Yi Jinru began to cry.
Nan Yi took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Yi Jinru, "Mom, don't be sad. My brother and I will go back with you in a few days, and we will go to pay tribute to grandma and grandpa together."
Yi Jinru took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, then sniffled a few times, "Well, go back, you must go back."
Nan Yi and his mother have a deep affection for each other, but Yi Hongxuan and Yi Qianxi, who were sitting there, looked at them in surprise. It was obvious that they both knew that Nan Yi was not Yi Jinru's biological son.
Just after he calmed Yi Jinru down, Nan Yi's pager rang. After looking at the number, Nan Yi said to Yi Jinru, "Mom, the car is here."
"Okay." Yi Jinru sobbed again and said, "Big brother, second brother, let's go to the restaurant."
After the group left the family compound, Nan Yi asked Wu Kun, who drove the van, to get in his car. He sat in the driver's seat and waited for the Yi family members to sit down before he drove.
On the way, Nan Yi held the steering wheel, his mind turning again, "When Nan Tieli got married, the Yi family didn't come, and when he got married again, no one came either. I don't know why they came this time. Judging from the way the four of them are dressed, they should be living a good life, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't feel bad about the travel expenses.
Could it be that when Yi Jinru and Nan Huaiqiu got married, the Yi family did not support it, so they severed all ties and never had any contact with each other again?
But that’s not right, Yi Haohan clearly came here before…”
Unable to figure it out for a moment, Nan Yi stopped thinking about it and concentrated on controlling the steering wheel.
"Cousin, is it easy to learn how to drive?" Yi Qianxi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked.
"It's not difficult to simply learn to drive, but it's hard to get a driver's license. When you take the driver's license test, you also have to take a test on mechanical maintenance."
"Hehe, it's not difficult for me to get a driver's license. The test place is right next to our house, and I know those who are in charge of the test." Yi Qianxi said with a smile.
"Oh, where does my second uncle work?"
"My dad works at the Andong Automobile Manufacturing Plant, the same one that produces the Yellow River buses."
"I've heard of it. Isn't grandpa from Xuecheng? Why did my second uncle go to work in Anton?" Nan Yi asked in surprise.
"What's so strange about this? My uncle works in Bincheng and has traveled further."
"Oh, and you, where do you work?"
"I work in the Anton Art Troupe, but I'm not happy with my job and don't want to do it anymore." Yi Qianxi said with a pout.
"So what's the plan?"
Nan Yi hadn’t figured out what the others were doing in Beijing, but he guessed that Yi Qianxi was most likely here to take the art exam.
"I want to go to college, and I came here to take the art exams for the Beijing Film Academy and the Beijing Drama Academy."
"That's good. Keep going."
As Nan Yi was talking, she started to recall in her mind. After thinking for a while, she didn't expect that there was an actress named Yi Qianxi. Nan Yi thought that maybe she used a stage name, and she wasn't doing very well, so she didn't appear on the screen very often. Otherwise, even if she couldn't remember the name, she would have found her face familiar.
The reason why Nan Yi didn't think that Yi Qianxi might not have passed the exam and didn't join the film and television industry was because Yi Qianxi was good-looking. From the front, she looked a bit like Li Haomen, and from the side, she looked like Akasaka Rei.
With such good conditions, even if her artistic skills are a little weak, I think both schools will make an exception and admit her.
"That's weird, why didn't I know about this person in my previous life?"
Nan Yi kept the doubt in his heart and continued driving forward. After a while, he arrived at the door of Duanjin Building. Nan Tieli was standing there, looking forward to it.
