The first person who rushed to the counter asked for twenty boxes. The salesperson took the money and issued a receipt, then sent someone to the warehouse at the back to get the goods, and then dealt with the next person.
The second one was even more exaggerated. He asked for eighty boxes right away. The salesperson treated everyone equally and collected the money, issued the invoice, and sent the boxes to the warehouse.
Shi Hongqi, the head of the security department, brought half of the people from Shengchen Pharmaceutical to Shanghai. Half of them were responsible for guarding the money box, and the rest were responsible for protecting the isatis root in the warehouse.
Fortunately, the store sells things at affordable prices, but with the increase in prices, it is a little more expensive than it was half a year ago. The people queuing up have a good attitude and no one is too noisy. They just hope that the people in front of them can buy less and leave quickly.
You will make a profit if you buy it. If you buy Isatis root for one thousand yuan here, you can sell it for two thousand or even three thousand yuan in other streets, which is double the profit.
The store opens at eight in the morning and closes at ten in the evening. This rhythm continues until the third day, when it closes early before noon.
There was no other choice. A total of 12 million yuan worth of Isatis root was stockpiled, and it was sold out in just two and a half days.
The people from the sales department, along with the people from the security department, escorted half a truckload of cash back to Beijing. On the way, they dared not drive fast or stop for too long, and it took nearly twenty hours to get back to Beijing.
At 8:30 in the morning, when the truck drove into Shengchen Pharmaceutical and stopped at the gate of the factory office, the workers who had been resting for a few days stood there because the factory had run out of funds.
The trailer door of the truck opened and the security personnel jumped down from it. The workers looked at the swinging trailer door with murderous eyes.
When the first sack was taken off the trailer, some of the workers couldn't help but breathe heavily when they saw the bulging sack.
Sacks were unloaded from the truck one by one, and more and more of them were lined up there. The workers' breathing became heavier, and some of them could not help but exclaim, one after another, and the exclamations were one wave higher than the other.
In the past few months, the workers have been worried about the factory going bankrupt, about the factory not being able to pay their wages, and about the livelihoods of their families. They have been suppressed and worried for too long.
"Chief Shi, open all the sacks." Seeing that all the sacks had been taken out of the car, Nan Yi said to Shi Hongqi.
"Yes, Director Nan."
Shi Hongqi responded and walked to a sack. He struggled to untie the knot that tied the sack, pulled the sack to the left and right, and rolled it down... In an instant, the workers saw the green glow of money.
"Long live Director Nan..."
Someone among the workers wanted to flatter Nan Yi, but as soon as the words "Long live" came out of his mouth, Nan Yi was so scared that he almost stumbled and fell.
Nan Yi quickly shouted, "Shut up, what are you yelling about?"
After scolding, Nan Yi continued to watch Shi Hongqi untie the sack.
After all the sacks were untied and the money inside was released, Nan Yi asked Shi Hongqi to tie up the sacks again. "Section Chief Yuchi and Accountant Jiang, you are responsible for counting the money and recording it. Section Chief Shi, you are responsible for security and verification. Don't go to the finance office. Let's start right here, right under the eyes of the workers."
When the three heard what Nan Yi said, Shi Hongqi woke up the people in the security department who had become listless due to lack of sleep for a long time, and asked them to surround the pile of money.
Yuchi Shao and Jiang Ziqi ran back to the Finance Department and brought back an abacus and an account book. One was responsible for counting and the other was responsible for recording. After counting a bunch of money, they swapped roles and counted the money again.
Nan Yi climbed onto the truck bed and shouted to the workers whose eyes were attracted by the money: "Don't stare at the money, look over here."
When all the workers turned their eyes to him, Nan Yi continued, "There is a saying in the countryside: pay enough to the state, leave enough for the collective, and the rest is yours. This is the rural contract responsibility system.
This sentence also applies to our Shengchen Pharmaceutical. We pay enough to the country and leave enough for the long-term development of the company, and the rest belongs to the shareholders.
We are a joint-stock company, and the benefits go to the shareholders. The factory made 12 million today, and may make an even bigger 12 million tomorrow, but these have nothing to do with you. As workers, you can only get wages and a tiny bonus.
I think this is very unfair, so I went to the district to find District Mayor Min yesterday. I discussed it with him and he agreed to take out another 5% from the state's 65% stake.
This 5% is reserved specifically for subscription by you workers present here. There are 4 million shares, and the price of each share is still 5 cents, which remains unchanged from before.
Regardless of your position, there will be no apportionment. You can subscribe as much as you want. With shares, you can get dividends in addition to your salary.
Let me give you an example. If our Shengchen Pharmaceutical has 10 million left after paying taxes this year, and assuming that the dividend this year is 8 million, then the money you can get for buying one share is 0.1 cent. If one of you subscribes to 100,000 shares, then you can get a dividend of 10,000 yuan.
100,000 shares now only cost 5,000 yuan..."
Nan Yi said, holding up three fingers, "Three days, you only have three days to subscribe, after three days, you will have no chance to subscribe.
Listen carefully. I will say it again: regardless of position, there will be no apportionment. Everything is based on the principle of voluntariness. If you want to subscribe, you can subscribe. If you don’t want to subscribe, you don’t have to subscribe. There are only three days, not one day more. "
Nan Yi paused, glanced at the workers present, and took in everyone's reactions.
“In addition, I have two more announcements: First, starting from this month, the factory will open a savings account for all of you, and your wages will be paid into the savings account; second, everyone has worked hard during this period, and regardless of position, everyone will receive a bonus of 200 yuan.
Okay, everyone, go back to your posts. Director Bai, lead the people in the workshop to revise the production line according to the plan."
After Nan Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the workers were taken back by their respective leaders.
After getting off the truck, Nan Yi walked around the sacks. He had never seen so many RMB piled together before, and it made him itchy.
"Leng Yan, how much do you owe Lin Rutie?"
"1.27 million is zero." Leng Yan replied.
"Take out the money and return it to him as soon as possible. Then take out another 3 million and return it to the bank first. If we don't pay it back proactively, they will get wind of it as soon as the money arrives in the account, and then we will be in a passive position."
"I'll do it in a moment, Boss Nan, why is the district willing to give out another 5%?" Leng Yan responded and asked again.
Nan Yi shook his head. "I told District Chief Min that we will get as much as we subscribe to, and the rest will be taken back by the district. How much do you think will be subscribed?"
"It's hard to say. I originally estimated 2%. Now that you're giving out a 200 yuan bonus, the number might be a little higher."
"Whatever. Give them the opportunity. Whether they can grasp it depends on themselves." Nan Yi said, looking back at Jiang Ziqi and the other person who were counting the money there. "The cashier in the factory should be assigned. You can place someone you trust, and I won't send anyone here."
"Okay." Leng Yan nodded.
"Have you got the approval for the cold medicine?"
“I have already got it.”
"Then it's time to arrange the advertisement. You contact Gong Xue to discuss the advertisement plan. I won't get involved." Nan Yi waved his hand. "You do your thing. I'll leave first. Let me know when the workshop is renovated and I'll come over to take a look."
" Do you really think you are a hands-off boss?"
"If you can't handle a pharmaceutical factory and a few jumping clowns, then what's the use of you?" After Nan Yi said this, he walked straight to his car without even looking at Leng Yan who was rolling her eyes behind him.
At Yaqing Company, on the fourth floor of Qinghe International Wholesale Mall, Wu Shiqi was packing her things. Her resignation report had been approved, and from today on, she would no longer work at Yaqing Company.
After packing up his things and saying goodbye to a few close colleagues, Wu Shiqi walked out of the office and went downstairs to the parking lot.
He walked to his car, put the cardboard box in his hand on the roof of the car, took the key from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, opened the door, leaned into the car, opened the safety of the rear door, put the cardboard box on the back seat, sat in the driver's seat, turned the key, stepped on the clutch, and the car drove out.
One hand controlled the steering wheel, and the other hand pressed the play button of the car recorder. Suddenly, the song "Footprints of the Past" by Beyond slowly spread in the car.
She looked at the road ahead through the windshield, hummed along with the tape, and was full of confidence. From today on, she would embark on a new journey and start the next legendary journey.
I, Nan Yi, held the purple clay teacup in both hands, looking through the glass at the heavy snow outside.
It has been sunny for just two days and the snow on the roadside has not melted yet. I didn’t expect it to start snowing again today, and it looks like it will snow for a while.
Crunch!
Wu Shiqian parked the car on the side of the road, pushed open the door, put his bag on his head with one hand, walked into the door of our company slidably, came to Nan Yi's desk, and called out, "Mr. Nan."
"Go to the bathroom and tidy up first." Nan Yi pointed in a direction.
"OK."
Wu Shiqi walked in the direction Nan Yi pointed and came back about five minutes later.
"Now is the golden period for domestic foreign trade. Starting today, you will be transferred to the position of General Manager of Far East Trade, with an eighteen-year salary of 5,000 per month and an annual salary of 90,000. By the end of next year, if you can achieve a profit of 20 million US dollars, you can get 2% of the shares.
For every extra $10 million in profit, your shares can increase by 1%, with a maximum of 10%. In addition, along with the shares, I will give you dividends equivalent to your shares. If you can get 5% of the shares, I will give you a dividend of 10%. This is only once, and we will discuss how to distribute dividends in the future."
"Mr. Nan, is the Far East trade in Beijing?" Wu Shiqi asked, suppressing his joy.
"Before today, Far East Trading was a shell company with no office space and only a few cents in its account. Now it has an office space in Dibai, 5 million Hong Kong dollars in its account, and a credit line of 50 million Hong Kong dollars from Southland Bank.
This is a clean white canvas, and it's up to you to paint it however you want.
Far East Trading is a company registered in Hong Kong. You will be its director. Do you understand what a director means?"
Wu Shiqian nodded, "It's equivalent to a legal person and needs to bear legal responsibility."
"Yes, for me, if there is no benefit of more than 1 billion US dollars, it is not worth it for me to challenge the rules and laws. I will not let you take the blame, and you should not cause trouble for me. You should be cautious in doing things, and don't take unnecessary risks for petty profits."
"I understand." Wu Shiqi nodded solemnly.
"I thought you really understood. We won't talk about similar topics for the second time." Nan Yi said in a serious tone, then he picked up the teacup and took a sip, his tone became calm, "I met a man named Duan Yunfei a few days ago. His family is related to the judiciary and can be sent to the detention center.
I came up with an idea for him. We could send some small accessories to the detention center and have the detained suspects make them, such as necklaces, beaded bracelets, artificial flowers, etc. There are many handicrafts that are more suitable for this channel.
The raw material costs of these products are relatively low, and the main costs are in labor. It would be cheaper to negotiate cooperation with the detention center than to produce them in OEM factories or to sell them to rural women for processing.
In addition to giving him advice, I also found him a partner, Yan Pannan, who runs a jewelry factory in Xishi County, Zhejiang Province. Her products have already entered the Middle East market, but the shipment volume is not very large. "
Nan Yi said this, smiled and glanced at Wu Shichen, "Do you need me to continue?"
"No need, Mr. Nan, I will apply for a passport tomorrow and go to the Middle East to do market research as soon as possible."
"I'll help you get your passport. It's too slow to do it yourself." Nan Yi said, taking out a stack of photo papers and putting them on the table. "Take them back and have a look. They are all ornaments popular in the Middle East."
Wu Shiqi took the photo paper, flipped through it, and asked, "Are the gemstones on the pendant real gemstones?"
"Acrylic, Sri Lanka, and Colombia. I'll give you three keywords. Go research them yourself. Don't wait for me to tell you everything. Yan Pannan is staying at the Overseas Chinese Hotel now. He will catch the 2:30 train tomorrow afternoon."
Wu Shiqi's cheeks flushed at what Nan Yi said, "I'll go ask her for advice now."
"It's snowing so hard, it's better to take the bus, it's safer."
Wu Shiqi looked out the window. The snow outside was even heavier than when she came. It was indeed safest to take a bus with anti-skid chains.
She thanked Nan Yi and left with her bag.
As soon as Wu Shiqi left, Nan Yi started to think about whether he should buy insurance, but soon he rejected the idea.
According to Wu Shiqi's ability, when she went to the Middle East to investigate the jewelry market, she should have discovered that there was a vast market for domestic products there, with business ranging from small commodities to home appliances, and it was not a small business at all.
If we can draw inferences from this and think about the South American and African markets, a profit of 20 million US dollars in two years is not an unattainable goal.
"It seems that Wu Shiqi had failed in the Internet industry in his previous life. I wonder if he will think of doing e-commerce after working in foreign trade for so long in this life."
Nan Yi muttered something, then took out the radio and turned it on. After a few tunes, he found the enemy station that he hadn't listened to for a long time. Needless to say, he missed the voice of that pretentious young lady.
…
During the rest of January, Nan Yi made two trips to Shengchen Pharmaceutical.
One time was three days later, when he went to confirm the share subscription situation. Just as he expected, not all of the shares were subscribed, only 2.71%.
This is also good. Originally, Min Jinsheng was reluctant to give up his shares, but now he can return 2.29%, and he can also get back some of Nan Yi's favor.
The second time was eight days later. The workshop was renovated under the leadership of Bai Jingqi. For at least the next eight years, Shengchen Pharmaceutical would only produce "Laotie 666" cold medicine. After the factory's debts were paid off a little, it could consider producing levamisole hydrochloride pagoda candy.
The rest of the time, Nan Yi mainly spends time with his son. In his spare time, he will watch Indian movies and the information about India collected by Nan’s internal staff to learn about Indian customs and familiarize himself with curry-flavored English.
In February, Nan Yi turned into a package receiving maniac. Packages from all over the world were sent to Xiangkeng, and then forwarded from Xiangkeng to Beijing.
After receiving the express deliveries, he started delivering packages during the New Year holidays, five or six households a day, and he did this for seven or eight days in a row. There were still many households that he did not deliver the packages to himself, but asked others to take them to them.
There's nothing I can do. Although I intentionally avoided meal times, I couldn't resist their enthusiasm. They wouldn't let me leave even before meal time. They would chat and kill time until meal time. They wouldn't let me leave unless I had something to eat and a couple of drinks.
Sending things here means sending, while receiving things on the other side. In the midst of sending and receiving, it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in the blink of an eye, and the whole world finally quieted down.
"Son, your mother can't come back. Even if she can come back, we won't let her in. Now you have four choices: stay in Beijing for the New Year, go to Xiangkeng to accompany your great-grandmother, go to Wenchangwei, or go to Nanchen Village. It's up to you to decide. We'll go wherever you say."
Early in the morning, after Nan Wuwei got up, Nan Yi gave him the choice.
"Brother, are you going to Xiangkeng too?" Nan Wuwei thought for a moment and asked.
"If you want to go to Xiangkeng, Dad can call your brother now and ask him to go to the airport. He can take off at 9pm and arrive in Xiangkeng before 12pm."
"I'm going to Xiangkeng."
"Okay, let's go to Xiangkeng."
Nan Yi said he would leave as soon as he said he would. Yesterday he asked the school beauty to book a ticket for the flight to Xiangxun at 10 o'clock today.
The ratio is three to one. Except for staying in Beijing, the other three places have to fly to Xianggang. There is no other way. A domestic flight crashed last month. How can Nan Yi dare to take a domestic flight?
I was still freezing in Beijing in the morning, but at noon I was already sitting in the garden of Deep Water Bay, eating lunch under the slightly dazzling sunlight.
This year's winter in Xiangkeng is warm again, so you can wear short-sleeved T-shirts at noon.
"After November, has anyone from near home come to inquire about your life?" Nan Yi put down the bowl of soup, took a few pieces of paper from the table to wipe his mouth, and said to Ruan Zhiping beside him.
"Two suspicious persons have appeared and their photos have been taken for record."
"On the way?"
"There are no suspicious circumstances at this time."
"Well, be careful. I don't want to see grandma get hurt again."
"clear."
Nan Yi thought that kidnappers would generally be unlikely to look for Fang Mengyin. As long as they had a little bit of common sense and knew how to investigate before taking action, they would find that Fang Mengyin was a tough nut to crack. If they really wanted to find a hostage, they should go find the wealthy Wang who never went out with any bodyguards. That would be the way to kidnap her.
Moreover, they have experience of being kidnapped, so the cooperation among everyone will be smoother and more tacit.
…
afternoon.
Nan Yi left Nan Wuwei alone at home and went to the street outside the old house in Repulse Bay.
The car stopped by the roadside and waited for a while, and a fragrant breeze invaded his nose with the wind.
"Where do you want to go?"
"We're not going anywhere, let's go straight to my villa." Zhao Shixian said resentfully.
"It's still daytime."
"I don't care whether it's day or night. I want to have a baby. After I have one, I don't think you dare to ignore me." Zhao Shixian said angrily, and patted the back of the driver's seat, "School beauty, drive."
"It's okay to have a baby, but not today. Get checked first, then see a Chinese doctor. Get your body in good shape and then choose a good day to have a baby."
Zhao Shixian glanced at Nan Yi suspiciously, "Are you sure you're not stalling for time?"
"When do I not count my words?"
"Okay, give me a wedding. We can hold it in a place where no one knows us. I just want a formality." After Zhao Shixian said this, he looked at Nan Yi with anticipation.
Nan Yi reached out and hugged Zhao Shixian into his arms, and said gently: "I promise you, we will buy an island together and call it Ice and Fire Island. We will stay on the island and have a baby. The boy will be named Zhao Zhijing and the girl will be named Nan Zhiruo."
"Be serious." Zhao Shixian tapped Nan Yi's chest with her pink fist and said angrily.
"That's Zhao Xiaobao?"
"No, just Zhao Yun."
"Which cloud?"
"Di Yun's cloud."
"Believe it or not, I will kick you out of the car?" Nan Yi looked at Zhao Shixian with fierce eyes.
What the hell is Di Yun? He is a bootlicker, and a bootlicker who will end up with nothing.
Zhao Shixian disagreed and patted the back of the driver's seat, "School Beauty, let's go to the theater, Princess Jin's, I want to watch "Eight Stars Announcement"."
"A work by Cinema City?"
"Well, you should check it out, there's a character just like you in it."
As soon as Nan Yi heard what Zhao Shixian said, he knew which role she was talking about. Although he didn't know the name of the character, it was either the second or the third. It was a pornographic movie to make a lot of money, and they filmed the combination of Aquaman and a sissy over and over again. "Eight Stars Reporting Happiness" was the pioneering work.
You know what, no matter how bad they are, Nan Yi has actually watched them all. He felt one or two were fresh in his eyes, but after watching all of them, he could only describe them as “bad movies”. They just keep relying on their past reputation.
When they arrived at the theater, Nan Yi and his friend bought tickets for the couple's box and chatted while watching the screen.
"How much did PY Securities earn last November?" Nan Yi asked knowingly.
"Of the HK$700 million that has been received, the remaining HK$600 million is paper profit, and the client's share is about HK$350 million."
"not bad."
"What's good about it? Those who play double-digit long positions want to bite me to death."
"Has anyone who plays double-digit loans not jumped off the building yet?"
Margin trading can be understood as using leverage to trade stocks. If you lose money, you may lose every penny and even end up in a huge debt .
"He's from a rich family, he still has a father and a mother at home."
"Well, it's good to have someone to back you up." Nan Yi said with emotion, and then said: "You should go to Lijiapo to make plans. Nikkei 225 is quite hot now."
"Let's talk about it after the New Year. The Tokyo stock market has withstood the stock market crash. The Nikkei 225 futures are bullish. There is no opportunity for speculation. PY's funds are not as good as those of Japanese futures traders, so it is difficult to crash the market. I want to send the money to the Tokyo stock market first to take a look and catch the big rising market."
"Very good." Nan Yi responded, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to go to the sea with me later ?"
"Today is not a good day for going out to sea. When the wind dies down, I will go fishing with you."
"This is not a joke. The sea cucumbers I raised two years ago are already in the sampling season. Let's catch some today to see their quality."
“Can sea cucumbers still be raised?”
"sure."
“Can the nutritional value be compared with wild ones?”
"That's about right. I use the bottom seeding method. You'll understand when you see it."
After watching the movie, Nan Yi took Zhao Shixian out to sea.
The water depth in the sea area near Tung Lung Chau reaches 15-18 meters, which is the most suitable depth for breeding sea cucumbers.
Setting sail from Dalang Bay, the yacht sailed for more than half an hour before arriving at the Jiang Shang Fishery Sea Cucumber Breeding Base on Donglong Island. When Nan Yi and the others arrived, the divers were delivering the sea cucumbers from the last sampling point.
After calling the diver to stop, Nan Yi grabbed a fat sea cucumber from the net bag, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then handed it to Zhao Shixian and boasted, "You've never seen one this big, right?"
"The ones I've seen before were all dried and only that big." Zhao Shixian gestured with his hands, "I've never seen one this big. It's so disgusting."
"Don't be disgusted. This is the result of two years of hard work." Nan Yi took his hand back and threw the sea cucumber back into the net bag. "I plan to create a sea cucumber health food brand and supply it for free to world-renowned football clubs or NBA teams, and let those sports stars help with advertising."
"You're thinking too much and expect them to advertise for you just by providing free supplies," Zhao Shixian said with a sneer.
"Free supply is the first step. I just need potential customers to know that sea cucumbers are in the diet of football players. Advertising is the second step. Of course, I know that it costs a lot to get sports stars to advertise."
“Do foreigners eat sea cucumbers?”
Nan Yi smiled and said, "Good things should be kept for our own people. I have never thought about paying attention to the European and American markets. The potential market for sea cucumbers is in Asia."
Zhao Shixian thought for a moment and asked, "Is the threshold for breeding sea cucumbers high?"
"The threshold for bottom seeding aquaculture is not low." Nan Yi pointed to a distant sea area, "In that area, in order to create an environment suitable for sea cucumbers to live, the aquaculture base spent 7 million Hong Kong dollars to place reefs on the seabed. This is because it is just a test aquaculture and the aquaculture area is not large.
During the breeding process, bait and medicines are needed, which is also a considerable expense. In addition, sea area use fees must be paid to the government. All in all, nearly 15 million Hong Kong dollars have been invested here, and this does not include labor costs. "
“What other farming methods are there?”
"Shallow-water farming means building dams in coastal areas for centralized farming. The farming cycle is about two years, the yield is reasonable, it is easy to supervise and catch, and the cost is not too high.
Greenhouse farming involves building indoor breeding ponds for breeding. Since the room and water temperatures can be controlled, the breeding cycle can be shorter and production can generally be achieved in about a year.
In addition, the ginseng is raised in the north and the south, and the ginseng seedlings grown in the north are transported to the southern waters for breeding. Due to the water temperature, the breeding cycle is very short, the output is high, and the cost is relatively controllable.
However, the nutritional value of sea cucumbers raised by these three farming methods is not as high as that of bottom-seeding farming, so the price will naturally be lower.”
"So the threshold for sea cucumber farming is actually not high?"
Nan Yi nodded, "Yes, with less capital, you can do small-scale breeding."
“Can ordinary people tell the difference between good and bad sea cucumbers?”
"It's not easy. It requires certain skills." After Nan Yi answered, he asked again: "Are you trying to say that my idea of ​​creating a sea cucumber brand is not feasible?"
"Yes, industries with no barriers to entry are too easy to be replaced by others, especially the breeding industry. The risk of disasters and diseases is too high, and the stability of the supply cannot be guaranteed." Zhao Shixian nodded and said.
"Well, your idea is right. It is indeed not easy. So, my goal is not only to become a large sea cucumber farmer, but also to become a leading supplier of young sea cucumbers and then set industry standards."
"Oh, first-class enterprise."
"Yes, selling standard goods is just like running a fast food chain. While helping others make money, you can also make more money yourself, achieving a win-win situation, benefiting others and yourself." Nan Yi said, and pointed to the net bag beside him and said, "Do you want to take some back? You can make sea cucumber with abalone sauce and scallions. It tastes good."
"Okay, I'll take it back and let my parents have a taste, and then I'll tell them that this is a gift from your son-in-law who doesn't want to be in public to show his respect to you." Zhao Shixian said, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Okay, I'll come to your house on the second day of the New Year to wish you a happy new year."
