Nan Yi pressed the call button on the desk and said, "Zhen He, come here."
After a while, Han Zhenhe came to Nan Yi's study.
"President?"
Nan Yi turned the pen in his hand and said, "Ah, Zhenhe, can you get away from South Korea's affairs?"
"Things have been sorted out. I have already arranged for the Shennong Nanliang personnel to connect with me. I will no longer be involved in the land annexation in South Korea."
Nan Yi nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, call Jean Bard in Paris and ask about the progress of acquiring shares in Richemont. Then..."
Nan Yi handed Han Zhenhe the information about the Dharavi slum and the paper he wrote, "Call Yamei and ask her to assign a few people from the South Office. I'll call the Information and Strategy Committee and ask them to assign a few people as well. You set up a 'Beautiful India' office here and come up with a solution for the Dharavi Leather District as soon as possible."
"OK."
Han Zhenhe took the information and nodded.
"You've been in Mumbai for so long, but you've never been out for a walk. So, for the next week, you can work in the morning, and go out for a walk in the afternoon and evening."
Han Zhenhe was stunned for a moment and said, "President, I'd better finish my work first and go out to play when I have free time."
Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just listen to me. If you want to have a romantic encounter, you can try Leopold Bar."
Nan Yi's words surprised Han Zhenhe again. He smiled awkwardly and said tactfully, "President, I have no intention of finding a female companion for the time being."
"Okay, after you finish the call, you can go out for a walk and ask the school beauty to arrange a car for you." Nan Yi smiled knowingly and said.
"Yes, President."
Han Zhenhe bowed and walked out of Nan Yi's study.
The study had just fallen silent for less than ten minutes when the school beauty walked in with a phone.
"Nansheng, Leng Yan's call."
Nan Yi picked up the phone and just as he said "Hello", Leng Yan on the other end spoke.
"Director Nan, it's time for you to come back."
"Is it time to sign the contract?"
"The contract has not been signed yet, but it's time to hold a sentencing meeting for you. District Chief Min called to question you and asked what you, the factory director, have been busy with after not being seen for several months."
"Haha." Nan Yi smiled and said, "I'm not the factory director appointed . You are doing a good job in managing Shengchen Pharmaceutical. As long as you can feed the employees in the factory and hand over profits to the district, who will care whether I am on the job or not? Stop talking nonsense and get down to business."
"The business is full of twists and turns, and the signing of the contract is nowhere in sight."
Nan Yi frowned and said, "What's going on? What happened?"
"Someone intercepted us, and the Baicaoting Pharmaceutical Factory came out with a very reasonable explanation."
"Tell me about it."
"Hmm." Leng Yan coughed twice and imitated someone's voice and said, "Indian merchants came to us to take the initiative to form a joint venture. This is an affirmation of our country's pharmaceutical industry. We must show sincerity and let good and excellent pharmaceutical companies cooperate with them. This is a small step for pharmaceutical companies to cooperate with foreign countries, and also a big step towards the world..."
"Okay, okay, what nonsense is this? Did the director of Baicao Hall say this?"
"Who else could it be? They came to me privately and asked me to be sensible to the overall situation, take the initiative to make concessions, do a good job of the internal work of the enterprise first, repay the loan as soon as possible, and not to fight with them."
Nan Yi straightened his throat and said, "Comrade Leng, what the director of Baicao Hall said makes sense. We really need to be aware of the overall situation. Since Baicao Hall Pharmaceutical Factory is eager to cooperate with foreign investors, we should withdraw and improve our internal strength. Well, long-distance travel is expensive, and it's still late here, so I need to rest. That's it for now."
Leng Yan listened to the busy tone coming from the microphone. She was stunned for a while before she realized that it was not convenient to say too much on the phone. She guessed that Nan Yi would cut off the source of the problem and directly call the Indian guy back.
But she was wrong. Nan Yi didn't value the cooperation between Glory Peacock and Shengchen Pharmaceutical at all. He just went with the flow. If it succeeded, it would succeed. If not, it wouldn't.
In March this year, due to the rising prices of raw materials, the domestic ex-factory price of a three-gram package of cooling oil just rose to 0.13 cents, and the retail price just rose to 0.19 cents. The production link could only make a profit of 5 or 6 cents at most.
Even if the profit from sales abroad can be higher, it is still limited. The bulk of the single profit must be left to the terminal salesperson, and the bulk of the overall profit must be left to the wholesaler.
If Shengchen Pharmaceutical is a partner, Nan Yi can extract part of the profits from the first-level wholesalers to subsidize the production link. Now that Baicaoting has jumped out to intercept, it will return to pure business behavior and negotiate in a formal manner, and strive for benefits for itself in whatever way it can.
Since we have returned to normal business practices, there is no need to negotiate with Baicaoting. It would be more in line with the needs of Glorious Peacock to directly cooperate with a manufacturer of cooling oil.
After Nan Yi asked someone from Glorious Peacock to call Faraqui, Faraqui quickly left the capital and headed south to Shanghai.
There is a Shanghua Pharmaceutical Factory in Shanghai. The Futan brand cooling oil it produces just won the gold medal at the Leipzig Autumn International Fair in Germany last year. The brand is quite strong, so it may not be possible to negotiate the establishment of a new brand. Faraqui may have to go to Qindao again.
On the third day after Faraqui left the capital, Nan Yi received a notice from Leng Yan and took the initiative to call Min Jinsheng to accept Min Jinsheng's questioning.
"Xiao Nan, it wasn't you who did the bad things to make the Indian merchants leave the capital, right?"
"Uncle Min, look at what you said, what bad can I do? To tell you the truth, that Indian guy owed me a favor, and he happened to want to produce cooling oil, so I thought of cooperating with him, which would also be a step for Shengchen Pharmaceutical to go abroad and enter the international market.
But from the Indian's point of view, it would be more in line with his needs to find a company that produces cooling oils to cooperate with. He only had the guts to negotiate with Shengchen Pharmaceutical because he owed me a favor. Now that Baicao Hall has come out, they have an excuse to reject me.
Uncle Min, I am the one who is wronged, okay? "
"Haha, you don't have to complain to me. I'm not here to accuse you of anything. I just want to ask you, as the factory director, you haven't been in the factory for more than half a year. You've been absent from your post without permission. Do you have anything to explain?"
Baicaoting Pharmaceutical Factory is not in Haidian District at all. For Min Jinsheng, he was also very annoyed that Baicaoting jumped out to do trouble. It would be a relief for Glorious Peacock to cooperate with Baicaoting, and the political achievements would not fall on his head. It was because someone in the city asked him to consider the overall situation of the city that he had to make concessions.
Now people don't play in Beijing anymore. For Min Jinsheng, he is actually secretly happy in his heart. As long as Glory Peacock cooperates with domestic pharmaceutical companies, the meat will rot in his own pot, and he will be taking the overall situation of the country into consideration.
Nan Yi knew that the relationship between Min Jinsheng and the city was very delicate. Logically, Min Jinsheng should have moved up two years ago, but now he is still standing still, which is really intriguing.
"Uncle Min, what else do you need me to tell you? Isn't Shengchen Pharmaceutical making great strides in the right direction? I'm not in the office, but Ke Xin is always concerned about it. I'm stepping out of the factory walls to look at Shengchen Pharmaceutical with a broader perspective, looking for a more suitable path for it."
"Haha, I know you are very capable and can run Shengchen Pharmaceutical well with remote control. Because of this, I think I should give you more responsibilities and fully utilize your abilities."
"Uncle Min, three months ago I was able to take on new responsibilities, but now I can't. I'm already working for a foreign company, the contract has been signed, and I've been paid for two months."
Nan Yi thought to himself, "Min Jinsheng really treats his cheap nephew like a workhorse. Which factory in Haidian District is going to go bankrupt again?"
"Oh? Really? What kind of business?"
There was a hint of disappointment in Min Jinsheng's tone.
"In a capital investment company, the top management makes the decisions, and I, as a middle-level manager, implement them. Since I get paid by the capitalists, I have to accept their exploitation. I am ordered around the world and I almost regard the plane as my home."
“Is the salary very high?”
"Not bad, the total income from various things should be around 500,000 or 600,000 pounds a year." Nan Yi said lightly, muttering in his heart, "A salary of several million yuan a year, I wonder if you are embarrassed to let me quit my job and go back to help you."
"Since you already have a good future, I won't hold you back. When you are out there making money, you can bring it back. As long as it's in pounds, you can enjoy the same treatment as a foreign businessman."
Nan Yi smiled faintly and said, "Okay, Uncle Min, I'll go back after I finish this."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
After ending the call with Min Jinsheng, Nan Yi received another call from Jean Bard, saying that the negotiations with Richemont were not going well. Richemont was not short of money, and Sophie Investment Holdings could not provide any resources other than money. There was no need for the other party to absorb such a shareholder.
Yes, Nan Yi thought too simply at first. It is not so easy to take advantage of this ride. If he dares to engage in luxury goods aggregation and acquire one brand after another, how could he do it without a strong financial background?
After reading the information about the Rupert family, the behind-the-scenes boss of Richemont, Nan Yi gave up the idea of ​​investing in Richemont.
The Rupert family is the second richest family in South Africa and has been rich for more than 40 years. Not only do they have their own vineyards and wine brands, they also almost control the tobacco industry in South Africa and have several gold mines in South Africa. They are also one of the shareholders of British American Tobacco and have several cash cows in their hands. They are not short of money at all.
Well, don’t think about investing in Richemont for the time being. Acquisition is easier than investing.
It is better to wait until Beyond sings "Glory Days" and the holy light of black spreads all over the land of South Africa, then go to the black uncle to wag his tail and ask for a "zero-dollar purchase" seat, follow the emerging black aristocracy, and pick up the leftovers they don't want.
As September came to an end, the people who were transferred from the Southern Office and the Information and Strategy Committee had already arrived, and the Beautiful India Office was established, and Nan Yi suddenly had more free time.
Leisure should become Nan Yi's normal state in the future. He will slowly withdraw from the front line and completely hide behind the scenes as the mascot and decision-maker of the Nan family. He plans to complete this process in six or seven years.
It’s not that it’s inefficient, but it has to take so long. Nan Yi is just waiting for himself to grow older.
No matter how capable Nan Yi is, in the eyes of others, he is still a young man in his twenties. The saying that a man with little knowledge of the subject is not reliable is not only in China. When faced with a master who is too young and of a different generation, most people will unconsciously look down on him.
Even in ancient times, despite the suppression of imperial power, an old minister facing a young emperor would recite beautiful articles with his mouth and send cordial greetings to the empress dowager in his heart from time to time.
While thanking God for His grace with your mouth, you may be thinking of His mother in your heart, and your kowtow is like kowtowing to a dead person.
Nan Yi does not have the might of a tiger, nor does he have a tiger back and tiger eyes. The Nan family is not the forest, and the top leaders of the Nan family are not the beasts in the forest. Nan Yi has no bloodline suppression on them.
Under the suppression of imperial power, hypocrisy is everywhere, not to mention that Nan Yi is just a boss, receiving salary from the boss. Cursing the boss behind his back and gossiping about the boss are one of the great pleasures of a worker.
During the stage of life when Nan Yi worked for others, arranging the boss's work was the most exquisite appetizer for him and his colleagues, and a catalyst for increasing the friendship between the two sides.
If there is a beautiful female boss, wow, analyzing the men standing behind her will definitely be an enduring topic among her subordinates.
Nan Yi has always done everything himself, for many other reasons, but also because he wants to eat as much salt as possible and show his abilities. If anyone dares to think that he has eaten more salt than he has eaten rice, Nan Yi will scrape a layer of coarse salt from his calf and stuff it into the mouth of the person who spreads the gossip.
Distribute a booklet within the Nan Group with the song sheet of "My father and mother are not as close to me as Boss Nan" printed on it, and sing it before going to work every day. Will the employees really treat Nan Yi as a god?
The brain is the hardest thing to clean in the world. Purity is only temporary, while colorfulness is the norm.
The Nan family has passed the era of "follow me". Nan Yi's wisdom alone can no longer drag the Nan family chariot around. The era of multiple locomotives has arrived, the era of multiple voices has arrived. If Nan Yi wants the locomotives to run side by side in an orderly manner and the voices to be diverse but not chaotic, he must slowly eliminate the "age discrimination" of the Nan family's senior management.
Six years later, Nan Yi will be 32 years old, which means he is a mature adult in any country. The inherent mentality of the Nan family’s senior management will change imperceptibly, the age-based contempt will disappear, the sense of superiority will disappear, and Nan Yi’s authority in the Nan family will reach its peak.
Without having to focus too much energy on specific things, Nan Yi focused his attention on Priyanka. Establishing a good relationship with the Sharma family is a shortcut to accelerate the implementation of Nan's India strategy.
In October, Diwali, the festival of lights, is approaching, which can be regarded as the Indian New Year.
The suffocating summer heat began to subside, and the most pleasant season of the year was approaching. According to Indian customs, Nan Yi replaced the salary books of the servants in the villa and transferred the electronic account books from an old floppy disk to another new floppy disk.
The old floppy disks were thrown into the cow dung cake brazier and burned in full view of the servants. For the servants, this was a farewell to the old and a welcome to the new. The mistakes of the old year were burned up, and the new year brought a new atmosphere, and all the good things could start all over again.
Nan Yi gently pushed India to align itself with advanced international experience, and prepared red envelopes in advance, waiting to give them to the servants on the "New Year" day.
Priyanka, who had nothing to do and could get off work early every day and return to Peacock Villa, suddenly discovered that Nan Yi, Rahu [a demon in Indian mythology], had a drastic change in his personality and started to be nice to her.
Right now, Luohou actually invited her to drink Kung Fu milk tea by the Peacock Lake.
Nan Yi once saw the flying milk in India, which is when the milk is thrown into the sky several times before being put into the pot to be cooked. He thought it was very interesting, so he made some improvements based on the original method.
Nan Yi was seen throwing the plastic bag of milk into the air, making a strange sound of "Woo...Cockroach Cockroach" from his mouth. He caught the plastic bag falling from the sky and threw it into the air again, making another sound of "Wow...Ah Da Da" from his mouth.
In the first part, Priyanka couldn't understand it. In the second part, she understood it, which was the dubbing in Bruce Lee's movie.
Nan Yi caught the milk again and did not throw it into the air. He cut a corner of the plastic bag with scissors and poured the milk into the alcohol pot on the table. While cooking, he stirred with a spoon. When the temperature of the milk rose, he added almonds, cashews, walnut kernels, licorice, and a little honey in turn.
“Tea trees are native to China, but it is hard to say who has an earlier history of tea drinking. India also has a very long history of tea drinking. The way of drinking tea has undergone many changes in China, but not much in India. Tea is still boiled with tea soup, which is more for nutritional supplementation.
You should have enough nutrition, so we will ignore the nutritional requirements, not add complicated spices, and keep the sweetness just moderate. "
As Nan Yi spoke, he poured the brewed tea into two cups, placed one of them next to Priyanka, and then picked up the other cup and put it under his nose to smell it.
"The scent of milk is blended with the scent of dried fruits. For me, the scent is too complex and not pure enough. You women should like this scent."
After saying that, Nan Yi brought the cup to his lips and took a sip.
Priyanka followed Nan Yi's example, picked up the cup and took a sip. A strong aroma of milk and dried fruits hit her taste buds, which was very different from the taste she was familiar with.
"It tastes good." Putting down the cup, Priyanka said calmly, "I've finished my tea, just tell me what you want to do."
"Nothing, I just want to have a conversation with you as an equal. According to your caste values ​​in India, if I am polite, I will be classified as a Kshatriya, but if I am not polite, I will be swept into the Vaishya.
I follow the local customs and respect your Indian universalism. No matter whether you are a Kshatriya or a Vaishya, you can be looked down upon and treated harshly by them for voluntarily falling into the caste.
Therefore, everything I did before was out of respect for you, including the sweet and plump big pussy, which actually exceeded my principles as a human being. I suffered a lot, but if I don’t go to hell, who will? For you, I risked everything.”
Priyanka smiled sarcastically and said, "There is a saying in psychology that if a person blinks frequently when talking to you, it usually means that the person feels uncomfortable or nervous, or is lying, but..."
"You didn't say it comprehensively enough." Nan Yi interrupted Priyanka, "It may not be blinking, it may be small movements such as stroking the nose, stroking the chin, scratching the head, etc. In order to hide the inner anxiety, they will subconsciously do such movements.
These are subconscious actions that only people who are unaware that they have this problem will have. If you pay attention, these small actions can be easily corrected, unless you have told too many lies to the point where you are woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night.
In addition to small movements, facial expressions, speaking speed, tone, and stress response can also be used to determine whether a person is lying. If you judge that I am lying because I always have a smile on my face, then I can only say that you are wrong. I keep smiling just because it can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
There is a Chinese saying that goes "Don't hit a smiling person." People who always smile can get less slaps in the face. "
Speaking of mouth, Nan Yi deliberately switched to Chinese.
Priyanka no longer needed Nan Yi to translate. She guessed that "mouthful" was definitely not a good word, and it was probably the same meaning as "big bitch".
"So, you are so shameless that it's hard to tell whether what you say is true or false?"
Nan Yi shrugged, picked up the cup and took another sip of tea. "My doctoral supervisor, Professor Buqun Yue, once said that in the eyes of good people, everyone in the world is a good person, and in the eyes of bad people, everyone in the world is a bad person. Priyanka, I know that I must be a bad person in your eyes, but it doesn't matter. You have always been a good person in my eyes."
Priyanka said angrily, "Ha, educated villains are so terrible, they can say black is white."
Nan Yi nodded, "Thank you for the compliment."
"You... humph."
Priyanka shook off the sleeves of her saree, puffed and picked up the cup, rubbing it between her fingers.
"Go home one of these days to visit your parents, and bring this to them for me." Nan Yi picked up a visiting card on the table and handed it to Priyanka.
Priyanka took the visiting card, looked at it, and asked in surprise, "You want to meet my parents?"
"Shouldn't we meet? You came to Peacock Villa as a maid. I need to discuss your next steps with your parents."
“Oh, I will bring it to my dad.” Priyanka nodded.
"Um."
…
The next day.
As soon as Puran came back from Varanasi, he and Nanyi went to the rooftop.
"Boss, we have basically figured out the situation. Back then, Deepak's grandfather, Old Dividi, liked Deepak's father, Havan, but not Jacky, so he sent him to the Singh family in Manchester since he was a child."
"Why don't you like your youngest son?"
"Jackie was born to old Tivedi's second wife. It is said that Jackie was less than seven and a half months old. The time was so short that old Tivedi suspected that Jackie was not his biological son."
"Oh." Nan Yi nodded and asked, "What was the relationship between Ha Wan and Jie Qi like back then?"
"Not very good. Ha Wan often bullies Jackie. There is one strange thing. Ha Wan disappeared fifteen years ago. No one can find him alive or dead."
"Is Jackie's mother no longer alive?" Nan Yi asked.
"The result of the investigation is that she died of dystocia, but there are many doubts. It is very likely that she was secretly executed by old Tivedi."
"The cause of death of Jackie's mother is very important and must be thoroughly investigated."
"Boss, it's very difficult. It's hard to find the insider. We got the news from an old servant of the Tivedi family. She is not an insider, but just a guess. Now we can confirm that there is only one insider."
“Butler Amit Shah, right?”
"Yes."
Nan Yi looked into the distance with blurry eyes, thinking quickly in his mind.
After a long while, he said, "You go back to Varanasi and wait. I will have someone go to Manchester to investigate. I have a feeling that the relationship between Jackie and Fatia is not simple."
"clear."
Plan came back quietly and left quietly.
Although the intelligence group of the National Intelligence and Planning Commission has been developing for many years, its power is not that magical. It is not that Nan Yi wants any intelligence, and the intelligence group can immediately put the information on his desk.
In fact, the development of the intelligence team has been spreading along the industrial layout of the Nan family. Wherever Nan Yi's industry goes, the intelligence team will develop there. Moreover, it has always been cautious and limited its development to the field of commercial intelligence without going beyond the line.
I want to go to Manchester to investigate the local tyrants, but that happened decades ago, so it would be a waste of time to ask the intelligence team to send people to investigate.
Fortunately, there is a profession called intelligence broker in this world. As long as you are willing to pay, you can buy intelligence from them. Even if it is intelligence they don’t have, you can place an order to buy it from them. As long as the price is right, they will naturally find someone who can get the intelligence to collect it.
After Nan Yi's people found an intelligence broker to place an order, the intelligence broker placed the order to an organization called "Feather".
There is a country in this world called "Shit Stirrer". It not only stirs up trouble in Europe, but also in the Middle East. Stirring shit is also a job, and since it is a job, naturally there must be someone on the front line.
Those who were on the front line were recruited from a well-known special forces unit, let's call them SAS.
Generation after generation of SAS members have done all kinds of dirty work in the Middle East, sometimes for the country, sometimes to make some personal profit or to work for an oil consortium for a few days. No matter who they work for, they are bound to kill and burn, and if things are not done cleanly enough, they will naturally be retaliated against.
After several unfortunate incidents, the retired SAS members felt insecure. They came together, held several meetings, and decided to establish an organization called "Feathers".
If the retired team members have not had enough guns, they will continue to carry on in the feathers. Other team members can solve their basic salary. If they want to live a better life, they can carry forward the tradition of doing private work and selectively take on some private work to increase their income.
It just so happened that the tasks that Nan Yi sent out, which were related to personal grudges, did not require bloodshed, and were professionally-related, were what they liked best.
SAS members cooperated a lot with secret departments before retiring, and some members remained in sensitive departments after retirement, so they didn't need to go to the field to conduct investigations. They just made a few phone calls, collected and summarized the documents, drew connecting lines and deleted lines, and in two days, they had obtained intelligence that could be exchanged for money.
Three days later, Nan Yi received a call from London. The person on the other end said three words, which translated into two words - father and daughter.
"Interesting. Marrying your daughter to your nominal nephew, should it be nominal? If not, then Jackie's mentality is really a bit twisted.
"Jackie was so deliberate in dealing with Deepak, so his mother's death must not have been caused by dystocia, and she must have been bullied to death by Havan when she was a child. Havan is missing, so he must have been killed. He couldn't have been imprisoned and tortured for fifteen years, right?"
Nan Yi felt that Jacky had great ambitions, otherwise why would he plot behind the scenes to swallow up the Shiva Group? People with great ambitions must have strong minds, so it is not impossible for Hawan to be imprisoned for fifteen years.
Nan Yi muttered to himself and called Plan.
"Jackie and Fatia are father and daughter."
"Boss, this...Jackie is so scary, what on earth does he want to do?"
“It is obvious what he did, it was nothing more than trying to seize the assets of the Tiwidi family, but he did not kill Deepak cleanly, which is very suspicious.
Puran, check the history of the Dividi family to see if there are any legends about treasures in their family. Also..." Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "Investigate Deepak's mother's family. Maybe there is someone extraordinary in this family, which forced Jieqi not to act rashly."
"clear."
"I will transfer two teams of your female soldiers from Madagascar to you. Be careful."
