"Yes, the woman said the two words 'Changning', and the man hushed. Then there were footsteps and the sound of a door opening. It was quiet for a while, and then there were door closing and footsteps. After that, there was only a buzzing sound. It should be that the two people walked to a place far away from the Walkman."
"Haha, Changning, you're still so cautious, how interesting."
"Nansheng, do you want to resort to some tricks?"
"No, it's better to use as few tricks as possible. It's enough to know that the two of them have an ambiguous relationship. What happened in the past is in the past. Let's wait and see what plan Gao Changning can come up with." Nan Yi said lightly.
Afterwards, the car arrived at the Nan family’s courtyard, picked up Yi Haofan and Yi Qianxi, and headed straight to Badaling.
"Cousin, there are so many people."
As soon as she stepped onto the brick steps at the entrance of the Great Wall at Badaling, Yi Qianxi sighed.
"Whether they are tourists from China or abroad, this is a place they must visit. It's not surprising that there are so many people here." Nan Yi said, and then said to Yi Haofan: "Second uncle, we will follow your pace. If you get tired, we will rest."
"Nan Yi, don't underestimate me. I used to work in the general assembly workshop. There was a lack of handling equipment, and the axles and drive shafts had to be moved manually. I did a lot of heavy and tiring work. You just climb as fast as you can, and see if I can keep up with you." Yi Haofan said unwillingly.
"Dad, is that true? Then my cousin and I will go up first. Don't lose us."
"Girl, just crawl your way and see if I, your dad, can beat the wolf." Yi Haofan did some chest expansion exercises and a few high leg lifts, looking determined to win.
"Yes, cousin, let's go."
After Yi Qianxi finished speaking, she grabbed Nan Yi's arm and dragged him forward.
"Second uncle, can you really do it?"
"No, I hurt my waist while moving things before, and I can't be too tired now. He is just stubborn and gets angry when I tell him he can't do it." Yi Qianxi said as she walked up.
Nan Yi followed Yi Qianxi easily and asked, "What kind of job does my second uncle do in the factory now? Is he still in the workshop?"
"I haven't been in the workshop for a long time. I'm sitting in the office now. I have very little time. I'm almost sick from being idle."
"Idle? You're not in charge of paying labor insurance, are you?"
"How is that possible? My father is a technical backbone of the factory and works in the technical department."
"Technical Department, that shouldn't be idle. Our automobile level lags behind that of foreign countries, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Shouldn't we speed up research and development?"
When Nan Yi heard that Yi Haofan was engaged in automotive technology, he secretly kept him in mind.
"I'm not sure about that. I don't ask about my dad's affairs. Cousin, I'm going to take the art exam the day after tomorrow. Can you go with me?"
"The day after tomorrow, maybe not. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."
"Ah?" Yi Qianxi showed a disappointed expression on her face, "Can't we go later?"
"That's really not possible. I have to go meet someone. If I don't go there soon, I may never see him again."
"Why?"
"Qianxi, let's not talk about this." Nan Yi avoided answering Yi Qianxi's question and directly changed the subject: "Don't worry about taking the art exam the day after tomorrow. My cousin knows two teachers at Beijing Film Academy. If you don't do well in the exam, I will talk to them and ask them to help you train. You can take the exam again next year."
"I'm not afraid of the exam, cousin. I'm the mainstay of our art troupe. I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my skills are very solid. Unless someone deliberately makes things difficult for me, I will definitely pass the exam." Yi Qianxi said bluntly.
"Really?"
"OK."
"Then cousin congratulates you first."
"whee."
The two of them chatted as they climbed, and they didn't feel the passage of time. Before they knew it, they had been climbing for more than half an hour.
"Hey, cousin, look, that foreigner looks so familiar." Suddenly, Yi Qianxi pointed at a foreigner dressed in red and shouted.
Following Yi Qianxi's pointing, Nan Yi looked over and recognized the man after a brief identification. "You don't even know him. I'll show you a move and you can guess it yourself."
Nan Yi said this as he stretched out his right hand and made a classic Zorro foil move.
"Ah, I remember now, he is Zorro." Yi Qianxi exclaimed, and said excitedly: "Why is he here?"
"Don't make a fuss. He has been in the capital for a while. Do you want to go up and talk to him?"
Yi Qianxi said excitedly: "Can he understand me when I talk?"
"I can understand him. His Mandarin is excellent."
"Cousin, then you come with me. I want to take a photo with him."
After all, she often performs on stage. Yi Qianxi is not as shy as other girls. She is very outgoing and graceful.
"Okay, I'll follow and take pictures."
Speaking of Alain Delon, not all Chinese people today know who he is, but speaking of Zorro, it’s hard to say in the countryside, but probably eight out of ten people in the city know him.
In 1978 or 1979, Zorro was introduced to China. After being dubbed by Shanghai Film Translation Studio, it was shown in a few theaters, and then Shanghai TV directly broadcast the film.
After that, this movie was often rebroadcast on TV. Three or four days ago, Nan Yi saw it broadcast on Beijing TV.
The role of the chivalrous Zorro played by Alain Delon left a deep impression on domestic audiences. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most familiar and favorite Western idol movie star among Chinese people of this era, especially girls, who love him very much.
The reason is simple. Alain Delon is handsome enough, but he is a little far away from the girls in China. Otherwise, he would have received several sacks of love letters like Fei Yibahuo Xiang.
"Mr. Zorro, can I take a photo with you?" Yi Qianxi excitedly walked up to Alain Delon who was resting against the city wall and asked.
"Of course, my beautiful lady." Alain Delon said with a smile.
Nan Yi listened to Alain Delon's Mandarin and found that except for the slightly non-standard tone, his accent was quite standard.
"Cousin, cousin, come on, take a picture for us."
"Here I come." Hearing the call, Nan Yi took two steps forward, "Bonjour, Mr. Delong, my name is Adam."
"Bonjour, Adam, you speak good French, have you been to Paris?"
"Yes, I have been to many places in Paris, but unfortunately, I have never been to Sceaux."
Alain Delon smiled and said, "Ahaha, next time you go to Paris, I welcome you to my house. I can accompany you to visit Sceaux."
"Thank you, I will definitely visit. Now, let me take a picture of you and this lady."
"Okay."
Alain Delon responded and stood with Yi Qianxi who was already eager to try.
Yi Qianxi was very excited to be able to take a photo with her idol. She changed her position several times and let Nan Yi take seven or eight photos in a row. Only then did she feel too embarrassed to take more photos.
After taking the photos, Nan Yi said goodbye to Yi Qianxi and Alain Delon, and stayed away from the crowd who were drooling over Alain Delon but did not dare to approach and talk to him.
"Cousin, the Zorro people are pretty good."
After walking away for a distance, Yi Qianxi was still immersed in the excitement just now.
"Haha, a chivalrous hero."
Nan Yi said this but he didn't agree in his heart. As far as he knew, Alain Delon was not a good guy when it came to women. He was even worse than him. After marrying Princess Sissi, Alain Delon had been busy outside.
"Uh...Qianxi, did we forget something?"
Nan Yi suddenly remembered that there should be five people in their group climbing the Great Wall together.
"What?" Yi Qianxi was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and exclaimed: "My dad..."
"Tiger cub."
"Fifteen minutes ago, it was about 300 meters behind us, near a fort. Now the angle is not good and we can't see it," the tiger cub responded.
"Qianxi, should we continue climbing or go back to find our second uncle?"
Yi Qianxi looked at the Great Wall in front of her, then turned back to look at the Great Wall behind her. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Cousin, let's go back to find my dad."
"good."
The few of them turned around and stopped looking at the scenery. They concentrated on getting on with their journey and moved very quickly. In less than twenty minutes, they arrived near the fort that Tiger Cub had mentioned. They saw Yi Haofan leaning against the wall, looking a little depressed.
"Haha, Dad, let's kill the wolf."
Seeing that Yi Haofan was fine, Yi Qianxi put aside her worries and started making jokes about Yi Haofan.
The embarrassment on Yi Haofan's face flashed away, and he said stubbornly: "Girl, well, I walked too fast and my body got twisted. Otherwise, I would definitely catch up with you."
"Uncle, are you okay? Can I carry you to the hospital?"
"It's okay, it's okay, you'll be fine after a rest, we'll continue climbing later."
After hearing what Nan Yi said, Yi Haofan refused repeatedly . If he went to the hospital and the doctor found that there was nothing wrong with Bolorge, how could he save face?
Nan Yi glanced at Yi Haofan's thighs and saw that the pants behind his thighs were trembling and his thighs were shaking intermittently and unnaturally.
Okay, Nan Yi understood. Yi Haofan probably hadn't done much exercise for years, and his quadriceps were overloaded. If they had come back earlier to look for him, they would probably have seen the "shaking like a sieve" vividly displayed on Yi Haofan.
Overload of the quadriceps is quite rare these days. A man or a woman riding a bicycle all over the country has strong leg strength. It is hard to find another person as lame as Yi Haofan.
"Uncle, I can't do it anymore. I ran too fast just now and my calves are exhausted. How about letting me rest for a while and then we can go down the mountain?"
"Nan Yi, young people need to exercise more. You can't do it now. If my polo gai hadn't twisted, I could climb to JYG in one breath. You take a rest, Qianxi and I will continue climbing." After Yi Haofan finished speaking, he looked at Yi Qianxi with burning eyes. He was really afraid that his daughter would not get the hang of it.
"Dad, I can't do it anymore. I won't climb today. We'll climb next time."
Fortunately, Yi Qianxi's intimate little cotton jacket is not leaky and is made of high-quality cotton.
“You guys…”
Yi Haofan was planning to continue, but when he looked up, he saw the half-smile on his daughter's face, as if she was saying to him, "Dad, if you keep pretending, I won't give you face."
"Okay, both of you take a break. We'll be heading down the mountain in ten minutes."
Yi Haofan felt a little bored as he failed to accomplish his goal of pretending to be cool. He smacked his lips, turned around and grinned at the city wall. His calf had just twitched and he felt quite uncomfortable. He couldn't let the younger ones see this.
Behind him, Yi Qianxi and Nan Yi looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
After exchanging glances with Yi Qianxi, Nan Yi waved to the tiger cub and asked him to take out the food from his backpack.
According to the route that Nan Yi and his companions had agreed upon when they first climbed the mountain, they should have stopped when they had climbed nearly eight kilometers. However, it turned out that they had overthought it and had already turned back. The plan to eat halfway had to be changed.
Five loaves of bread, five pieces of chocolate, and two coffee pots of warm water; that was lunch for five people.
Nan Yi gave half of his chocolate to Yi Haofan and Yi Qianxi respectively, then he opened the bread wrapper, tore off half of it, held it in his hand and said to Yi Qianxi, "There is no toilet on the Great Wall."
"Um."
Yi Qianxi nodded. She already understood what Nan Yi wanted to express. After hesitating for a moment, she wrapped the opened bread in the wrapping paper again, broke off a piece of chocolate and put it in her mouth.
"Cousin, this chocolate tastes better than the big-headed doll."
"Big-headed doll?" Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "I've never heard of it."
Yi Qianxi recalled and said, "Su Xiu's chocolate has a child with a headscarf on the wrapper."
"Oh, Ai Lian Qiao, I think the taste is about the same."
"Cousin, have you also eaten a big-headed doll?"
"There is a train from Beijing to Moscow. Everyone who goes to Moscow will bring some back. Although it is not common, you can still see it."
"Oh, I thought we were the only ones that could see it."
"Anton and the Soviet Union don't border each other, so where do your Soviet Union goods come from?"
Nan Yi guessed that he most likely entered Andong from Rajin Port along the Yalu River. North Korea was still enjoying the most-favored-nation treatment from the Soviet revisionists, and all kinds of good things from the Soviet revisionists were still being shipped to North Korea. Rajin Port served as a transit station for materials to enter Pyongyang, and there would always be some "normal" transportation losses.
In the past, these losses would flow back to the Soviet revisionists, but in recent years a new shipping channel across the Yalu River has been added.
Yi Qianxi said: "Many of us secretly trade with the other side. They bring ginseng, bear skin, bear gall, and some Soviet goods, and we send food, clothes, and cigarettes."
"Since you did it secretly, how did you know?"
"I know a lot of people in Anton." Yi Qianxi said proudly, "As long as it's about Anton, I know everything."
"sharp!"
Nan Yi complimented and mentally evaluated the extent of Yi Qianxi's "bragging". If it was not too much, then Anton's border trade was not very open and was still at a stage where most of the information was spread through rumors.
Although border trade between China and the Soviet revisionists has been restored, when exporting goods from China to the Soviet revisionists, not only do we have to pay customs duties, but we also have to face exploitation by certain forces on the Soviet revisionist side, which means an increase in costs.
However, if we change the direct export to the Soviet revisionists into transit trade via North Korea, and move the final packaging step to North Korea, the goods can openly become North Korean goods. There is a clause in the most-favored-nation treatment enjoyed by North Korea: "Goods exported to the Soviet revisionists are duty-free."
The term "made in China" cannot be correctly and unambiguously interpreted no matter what words are used to describe it.
Since all parts are imported and assembled in the country, it can be called domestic manufacturing. Then, if an imported product is disassembled into pieces and shipped to the country and put back together again, it should also be called domestic manufacturing.
This may seem a bit far-fetched and a bit sophistry, but as long as "special approval" is obtained in North Korea, the country's manufacturing can be concluded without any debate.
The reason why Nan Yi asked about the "border trade" out of concern was because his people were already busy opening up the transshipment channel. However, in his plan, domestic goods would be exported directly to the Soviet revisionists, and only the deep-processed products of Shennong Nanliang and Scarlett Grain and Agriculture would go through "transit".
The country is operating in the most conservative mode. The wind vane keeps spinning in circles, and it is impossible to predict whether the wind will blow from the southeast or northwest in the next second. So don't even think about getting into the eye of the wind. It's better to stay eight hundred miles away from it.
The Nan Group has passed the stage of risking their lives, and the model of high risk and high return can no longer be regarded as the mainstream. The Nan Group can take out 100 million or 200 million, or 500 million, 600 million, 700 million or 800 million to bet on a high-risk project with a low probability of success. After all, if they lose, it will not cause any serious damage.
But you can't gamble with tens of billions, even if the return figures are very tempting, 17 or 18, or even dozens of zeros. Too much loss will make Nan's decline and become the fuse of bankruptcy. Nan can't afford the consequences of failure.
After filling their stomachs for a while on the Great Wall, Nan Yi and his companions started to go down the mountain.
Along the way, Nan Yi's pager didn't ring, which saved him from standing someone up again.
Today is Friday. Nan Yi and Luo Qianqian had agreed to have lunch together, but Luo Qianqian called Nan Yi last night and said that he might not have time today, but would call him again when he was free.
It's past dinner time and he hasn't called yet, so he probably doesn't have time.
Nan Yi thought that he could only find another opportunity to meet him after returning to the Kingdom of Qin, and he just hoped that nothing would happen to Liuzi in the short term.
For dinner, Nan Yi did not accompany Yi Haofan and the others, but instead made an appointment with Bai Yuqi, a technical staff member at Baicaoting Pharmaceutical Factory.
As a pharmaceutical company also located in Beijing, Baicaoting is much larger than Jiuyao Factory. It also has several best-selling drugs in its hands, and the company is living a prosperous life.
Nan Yi begged Bai Yuqi to promote the spirit of "those who are capable should do more work" and help Jiuyao Factory to come up with some plans. Not only that, Nan Yi went a step further and asked Bai Yuqi to help him count whether there were 200 sheets of paper in the yellow envelope and whether the Arabic numeral "50" was written on the paper.
Bai Yuqi is a good comrade who loves to help others. Not only is he willing to help with both things, he also took the initiative to offer to help Nan Yi count the yellow envelopes again in a few days.
With tears in his eyes, Nan Yi choked up and agreed to Bai Yuqi's request, muttering excitedly, "High-quality goods are high-quality goods, and the price is high. If the plan is good, he will have to count yellow envelopes in Shengchen Pharmaceutical for the rest of his life."
Time passed quickly and it was the next day. Nan Yi contacted Ruan Zhiping and asked about the location of the Human Cannon Squad and the Sloppy King Squad. Upon learning that they were flying in the air, Nan Yi realized that he had to take a civil aviation flight to go to the Kingdom of Xian.
So Nan Yi called the airport again and found out that there was a flight to New York at 2pm, operated by Pan Am, so he decided to take this flight.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Nan Yi and the other two appeared at the airport.
After distinguishing the ticket windows, Nan Yi did not go to the window at the airport, but went straight to Pan Am's window.
"Is the first-class cabin a commercial cabin?" Nan Yi asked as he approached the window.
The first-class cabins on some airplanes were modified later. There was no first-class cabin design at the beginning. For these modified first-class cabins, the environment is not much different from that of the business class, but the ticket price is still the same as that of regular first-class cabins.
"Yes, sir."
"So there are three empty seats in business class?"
"Sorry sir, there is only one seat left, first class is available."
"Okay, first class then." Nan Yi said, fumbling for his Pan Am VIP card and taking out his American Express traveler's check. "How much discount is the VIP now?"
The ticket seller looked at Nan Yi in surprise and replied, "Sir, it's still 9.5% off. Our company's discount has not changed."
" Thank you . Got it."
Nan Yi thanked him and took out a stack of traveler's checks and handed them to the ticket seller.
After buying the ticket and entering the terminal, Nan Yi saw a man giving a speech to a group of students who were sent to study in the United States. "Students, you are honored to be the government-sponsored students studying in the United States. You are about to set foot on the other side of the ocean. There, you will come into contact with..."
Nan Yi found it strange when he heard this. The flight he was taking in the afternoon was flying to China, so why didn't the international students take Air China but American Airlines? He remembered that Liu Zhen and Lai Biao both took Air China when they went abroad.
The reason for taking Air China is to save money. Air China tickets are cheaper than those of foreign airlines. Besides, since we are all family members, the Ministry of Education can also negotiate prices with the civil aviation system.
"Excuse me, sir, where is the airport post office?" Suddenly, a foreigner walked up to Nan Yi and asked in English with a heavy accent.
"Go forward, turn right after getting off the elevator, and keep going as long as there is a road. At the end there is a row of service windows. Counting from the right to the left, the third window is the airport post office."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Welcome to the capital."
Judging from the foreigner's dress, he looks like a backpacker. He should be going to the airport post office to get a commemorative stamp. Seeing this foreigner reminded Nan Yi of Nan Ruoyin who was flying to Yinan at this moment.
The little girl's world journey is in full swing, which makes Nan Yi feel jealous occasionally.
"Why can't I meet someone who is willing to train me like this?"
With jealousy, Nan Yi boarded the plane.
Sitting down in the first class cabin, the Latin American stewardess Su half-knelt in front of Nan Yi and buckled him up. "Welcome aboard Pan Am. I hope you will be satisfied with our service."
"Help me get all the newspapers and give me a glass of water."
"Is there anything else you need?" Su asked, puffing out his chest.
"Thank you, I don't need it for now."
The seat next to Nan Yi was empty, so Su stood up and helped him open the folding door. Immediately, he had an independent space, albeit cramped one.
Afterwards, Su quickly brought over the newspaper and water, and did not forget to show off her figure when closing the door.
After Su left again, Nan Yi reached out and patted the back of the chair.
"Nansheng."
"Are all the people in first class old men except us?"
"Not all of them. There are middle-aged people, but they are all older."
"Got it, take a rest."
Su's enthusiasm and obvious sexual innuendos had made Nan Yi wary just now. Now that he heard that he was the only tall, rich and handsome man in the first-class cabin, his vigilance was lowered a little.
In universities in China, the mate selection criteria of a considerable number of beautiful female students have been changing, and their vision has become more long-term. In the past, they only liked handsome guys on the school team, but now they are paying more attention to "nerds".
Because they know that only by being with nerds can they have the possibility of crossing classes and their lives will be secure.
If you follow those handsome guys, you will probably end up working in a strip bar in the future, or you will end up being subjected to all kinds of domestic violence. The best case scenario is that you will become a desperate housewife who has to work and take care of the children at the same time and can only go to discount stores for shopping.
This is the case for college girls, and it is also normal for flight attendants to use their jobs to find a rich husband for themselves.
Nan Yi had no intention of having a fleeting romance on the plane, and the seat or the toilet did not turn into a battlefield for him. He spent the long journey napping and reading newspapers.
When the plane landed in New York, it was exactly 10 o'clock in the evening New York time, and the night was very seductive.
As soon as Nan Yi walked out of the exit, he heard someone behind him shouting in surprise: "Nan Yi, why are you here?"
Hearing the shout, Nan Yi turned around and looked towards the source of the voice for a while, then smiled and said, "Mosquito, did you just get off the plane?"
Mosquito, whose real name is Gu Wen, is the director of the Human Resources and Labor Department of Erhua. He and Qian Nanyi are both from Erhua and they were also classmates in junior high school. However, Gu Wen is a nerd and they don't get along well, so their relationship is very ordinary.
"Yes, it's embarrassing to say that it's been more than five years since you graduated from college, and I'm only a junior now." Gu Wen walked up to Nan Yi and said enthusiastically.
"Are you studying in New York or transiting here?"
"It's in New York, Cornell." Gu Wen said with a little complacency.
"Not bad, a good school." Nan Yi said, pointing to the group of international students, "It seems that you are about to gather. I'll give you a number. You can call me if you want to find me within a week. If it's more than a week, forget it. I should be back in Beijing by then."
Nan Yi said, writing a phone number and handing it to Gu Wen, "When you come out, did your old man prepare a beautiful child for you?"
"Yes, my old man risked his life and bought me a thousand beauties."
"Oh, be careful. The security in New York is not very good. Don't go to remote places. If you see black people, stay away. They like to rob yellow people the most. I won't say much. The person who picked me up has come. I have to leave quickly." Nan Yi patted Gu Wen's shoulder, "Take care of yourself."
"Okay, I'll go back to the gathering then. I'll call you when I'm free to move around."
After saying goodbye to Gu Wen, Nan Yi walked to the parking lot and got into the car that came to pick him up.
There was already a woman sitting in the car.
"Thank you for picking me up."
"Boss, I'm going to start my vacation tomorrow." Rachel shrugged and said, "So, I want the work report to be held today."
"Family trip?"
"Yes, I'm taking Ray to Niagara Falls."
"Well, I wish you a happy vacation in advance. Now, you can start."
"OK."
Rachel responded, opened the folder and began to report...
