"Unconditional obedience to the boss's orders is an employee's basic ethics." Nan Yi said to Priyanka righteously.
Priyanka said confidently, "You don't pay me at all, I can't be considered your employee."
"Ha, now that you have a backer, your tone of voice is different." Nan Yi smiled and said, "You are now an intern. The Labor Group is a well-known group company in India. There are many people who want to join. Our group has never paid internship employees."
Nan Yi patted Priyanka's shoulder, "Ladki [girl], work hard, your future is bright. Ah, I'm not just being perfunctory this time, I'm telling you seriously."
"Really?" Priyanka looked at Nan Yi's face suspiciously.
Nan Yi nodded sincerely, "Sincerely, work hard and don't let yourself become a puppet."
The puppet strategy has its pros and cons, and having the right person for the right position also has its pros and cons. Which is better or worse depends on the long run. For the time being, Priyanka has the ability to get things done and can speed up the progress of the India strategy.
Nan Yi's words made Priyanka's eyes blurred, and she became more and more confused about what kind of person Luohou was in front of her.
Priyanka got off the car in front of the Textile Center Building in a daze. Just as she was about to walk into the building, the annoying Rao who she had seen at CitiMall a few days ago appeared in front of her.
“Priyanka, we meet again.”
Rao floated his hands in the air, made a light shaking motion, and walked in front of Priyanka with a smile.
Before the car drove away, Nan Yi, who was sitting in the car, looked at the entrance of the Textile Center Building and asked without turning his head: "Divaman, what caste could this person be?"
“It should be Dalit.”
"oh."
Nan Yi guessed that this man should be the Mr. NRL who was pursuing Priyanka.
"Tell her to keep a close eye on her and don't let anything happen to her."
"yes."
The school beauty responded.
“Go to the mad cow disease gate.”
The school beauty drove the car to the door of Mad Cow Disease Hospital, and Nan Yi made a phone call and called Vikram out.
As soon as Vikram got into the car, he said to Nan Yi, "Adam, there is a new discovery. The water order transaction model we talked about last time has already been implemented by someone."
"What's the other person's name?"
"Harshad Mehta is manipulating United Cement, stock code 500410. The share price was 202 rupees five days ago and just now it was 176 rupees. I am ready to enter the market and compete with him for shares."
“Why did the stock price fall?”
"Adam, have you ever looked at the information on United Cement?"
"I have seen it, but it's not comprehensive. Tell me more about it."
“United Cement was formed through the merger of 11 cement companies, namely India Cement, Katni Cement Industries, Bodhi Portland Cement, Oka Cement, Gwalior Cement, Punjab Portland Cement, United Cement, Shahabad Cement, Coimbatore Cement, Dewarkhand Cement, CPCP Cement.
These 11 cement companies are scattered across various states in India and account for nearly 70% of India’s cement production. Among them, Punjab Portland Cement is relatively large, accounting for about 40% of United Cement’s production.
Just a few days ago, independent trade unions issued an ultimatum to Punjab Portland Cement, demanding that it agree to the employees' demands or go on strike.
The northern section of Kolkata Metro is under construction and United Cement is the main cement supplier and any suspension of work by Punjab Portland Cement would result in default.”
"I see." Nan Yi nodded and said, "Did Harshad Mehta cleverly take advantage of this opportunity, or did he create this opportunity? Also, there is an ultimatum, but why is there no ultimatum time?"
"It should be somewhere between borrowing and manufacturing. Harshad is just a stockbroker with some success. It is impossible for Rana Sawan, the chairman of the independent trade union, to be manipulated by him. At most, he can just spend money to buy some accurate information."
"From what I know about mad cow disease, this is not a healthy stock market. If you use any means necessary, and I mean means that will not cause serious trouble, how high can you push the share price of United Cement?"
Vikram thought for a moment and said, “Within 10,000 rupees, there won’t be any big trouble.”
"50 times, what a wonderful number." Nan Yi's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Vikram, what do you think of giving Mr. Harshad Mehta the code name SG?"
"Scape Goat?"
"Yes, scapegoat. We have to take root in India and cannot ruin our reputation. Besides, my main purpose of calling you here is not to make money in the stock market. You should implement your ideas first and let him know you exist. I will have someone find out his background. We can do both and see if he is qualified to be a scapegoat ."
"Ha, I just want to have a try with him to see if I can adapt to the operation mode of the Mad Cow Disease. Many of the skills I learned in the New York Stock Exchange are completely useless here. It's sad that the Mad Cow Disease, which has a history of more than 100 years, is still a wild place."
As he spoke, Vikram's eyes showed a complicated look, "If foreign investment in BSE is liberalized, companies listed on BSE will allow foreign capital to reap them at will."
"Don't worry too much. The system for mad cow disease will definitely be improved and the market will become more mature."
"I hope so."
After chatting with Vikram, Nan Yi set out on the journey back to Peacock Villa.
When the car passed the north of the city and was about to turn into the fork road leading to Peacock Villa, the school beauty suddenly stopped the car, turned her head to Nan Yi and said: "Nansheng, the car in front said that there was a yellow woman being beaten on the road ahead, and asked if you need help."
"The yellow people may not be our own people, so we don't have to help them. Let's listen to their language first ."
"OK."
The school beauty responded and picked up the intercom.
After a while, the school beauty said again: "Nansheng, speak Chinese."
"oh."
Nan Yi raised his hips, stretched his neck, and looked forward through the front windshield and through the gaps in the obstacles. He got a glimpse of a yellow woman wearing a sari, sitting on the ground, being beaten and kicked by a group of Indian men. The men were hitting her hard.
Frowning, Nan Yi said to the school beauty, "Call Diwaman and go up to negotiate."
After sitting in the car and waiting for a while , the person who went to negotiate soon brought back news - the yellow woman who was beaten was the wife of the beater, and a concubine.
"Don't interfere in other people's family affairs, let them come back." Nan Yi said lightly to the school beauty, lowered his head and continued to read the newspaper.
In this era, the police mainly use mediation to resolve family disputes. Even if someone beats someone up, they will not easily initiate legal proceedings. Besides, since they are a couple, the woman is most likely naturalized. It is like a dog trying to catch a mouse without eating shit for Nan Yi to interfere in other people's family affairs - it's not serious!
Two days later, Nan Yi's plane was transferred to Mumbai to pick up Sonu and start his trip to New York. In the middle of the night, Nan Yi took Scarlett's plane to Hong Kong.
On the evening of October 13, Nan Yi was already walking on the street of Xinjiekouwai Street.
Nan Yi originally came up with an idea for Huang Saner to organize pager repair training. Unexpectedly, Huang Saner was quite smart. Through some connections, her training class was incorporated into the system of Northern Normal University Night University, and she set up a proper pager repair professional advanced training class.
Although the money has to be shared with others, the brand is strong and students can be issued a completion certificate upon graduation with the official seal of the educational institution on it. What's more, many institutions now recognize this kind of certificate. Even if students do not plan to open a repair shop after graduation, they can still find a job.
Nan Yi walked into the building where the night university was located not far from the Northern Normal University campus, searched along the classrooms, and soon found Huang Saner who was sitting in a corner smoking.
"I called Liuzi and heard that you broke up with Xuzi. What happened?" Nan Yi walked to Huang Saner and said.
Huang Saner threw the remaining one-third of the cigarette to the ground, crushed it with his foot, raised his hand and scratched his hair, making the messy hair look even more like a chicken coop.
"Xu Zi's mother didn't agree with my relationship with him, saying that Xu Zi doesn't make as much money as I do, and if we get married in the future, I will definitely bully him." Huang San'er said, and he became more rude. "Fuck his grandma, what's wrong with me making more money? Can't a woman make more money than a man?"
"Oh, it's just a small matter, did you suffer any loss?"
"How can I suffer? Xu Zi is a fool. I was the one who took the initiative the first time. He was crying after we were done. He doesn't act like a man at all." Huang Saner said unruly.
"Come on, don't be so stubborn. Tell me, can you let go of Xu Zi? If you can't, I'll give you some advice." Nan Yi waved his hand and said.
"Nan Ye, forget it. I've let it go. Xu Zi listens to his mother in everything. I want to marry him. I'll have a hard time in the future. Let's break up. I don't believe I can't find a considerate old man."
"Okay, as long as you can figure it out. Breaking up is similar to quitting smoking. You feel weak all over in the first few days, as if ants are crawling on your body, but once you get over the shock, you get used to it, and you can live your life as usual. Go to the bathroom, wash your face, and fix your hair. We haven't had a drink together in a while, call everyone over and get ready."
"Okay." Huang Saner nodded, "Master Nan, wait a moment."
After Huang Saner had dressed herself up, Nan Yi took her to the osmanthus garden in Nanyuan Township.
Since two or three years ago, many people from Vancouver who came to Beijing have rented houses in Shi Village and Guoyuan Village near Muxiangyuan. They did not come here to work, but to do business in Beijing.
He processed clothes in a rented house, then rode a tricycle to set up a stall on the street, producing and selling the goods himself. With the spirit of not treating himself as a human being, he managed to carve out a way to survive in a foreign land and build a foothold.
Next to the Muxiyuan long-distance bus station, one of Liuzi's younger brothers, Baozi Baohuantou, opened a restaurant.
The name of the restaurant is Huanyu, which combines the Chinese character "Huan" from Bao Huantou's name and the Chinese character "Yu" from his wife Tu Yu's name. It is a way of showing their affection and also a good omen, as it allows one to call the wind and rain.
Huanyu's main business is with tourists. Its business is booming because its products are cheap and good quality, only 20% more expensive than those in other ordinary places.
When Nan Yi and Huang Saner arrived at the entrance of Huanyu, Sun Changzheng and Luo Tong were already waiting at the door. A woman was standing there talking with them.
As soon as he saw Nan Yi and the other man, Sun Changzheng came over to greet them, "Master Nan, Huang Saner."
"Yeah." Nan Yi nodded to Sun Changzheng, and walked towards Tu Yu. "I'm sorry. When you and Huantou got married, I happened to be abroad and couldn't make it back. I'm really sorry."
"Brother Nan, it's okay." Tu Yu smiled and said, "Everyone is here. I'll take you to the private room on the second floor. The head cutter is cutting hair for a customer in the store. He will come over when he's done."
"Huantou" is a noisy instrument used by barbers in the past to attract customers. It looks like a large pair of tweezers.
Bao Huantou was given this name by his family because his grandfather was a barber and his parents were also barbers in Silian. Bao Huantou was also an apprentice in Silian at first, but the salary was too low for him to spend, so he followed Liuzi to trade in clothing.
When Liuzi was pushed onto the right track by Nan Yi, he opened his own barber shop. Tu Yu came to Beijing from Wen City to make a living, and by chance she ended up working as a shampoo girl in Bao Huantou's barber shop. After a few visits, the two of them became attached to each other.
"good."
Nan Yi turned his head and glanced at the "Hong Kong Style Hair Salon" next to Huanyu, then followed Tu Yu into the store.
Go upstairs and sit in the private room. No need to order any food, Tu Yu will take care of the arrangements.
After pouring tea for everyone, Tu Yu did not stay in the box for long. He said something and went to the kitchen to watch the cooking, then went downstairs.
As soon as Tu Yu left, Sun Changzheng said, "Baozi is lucky. Mi Duan is very good at doing business. The restaurant is run very well."
"Was it Tu Yu's idea to open a restaurant here?" Nan Yi asked.
"Uncle Nan, Baozi is a straightforward person. He is good at opening a barber shop, but he is not good at running a restaurant. This shop is run by Mimi inside and outside. It not only attracts tourists, but also attracts her fellow villagers. This is a place for the people in Wenzhou. They usually come here to discuss things."
"Don't call her Mi Duan by that nickname . It's fine between husband and wife, but it becomes offensive when it's spoken by outsiders."
"Mi duan" means "little thing", which is used to describe a short/small person. It is okay to tease children, but it has a bit of insulting connotation when saying it to adults. Between lovers or couples, it can be extended to mean "little cutie" to express intimacy, just like words like "lecher" and "short-lived ghost".
"hehe."
Sun Changzheng smiled awkwardly.
"How is the business at the photo studio?" Nan Yi looked past Sun Changzheng and said to Luo Tong.
"Uncle Nan, the car rental and photography business is pretty good, but the video and dress rental business is not so good. We haven't started to make money yet, and we can barely pay out the wages."
"It's OK. A new service won't become popular all of a sudden. The market needs guidance and consumers need a process of acceptance. In the future, the main group of people getting married in Beijing will be those born after 1965. They are more receptive to new things than us and like to keep up with the trend. In two or three years, wedding video will become popular."
"That's right. Riding motorcycles is very popular now. People don't want domestic ones. They all want Japanese ones. A motorcycle costs thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Many kids spend all their hard-earned money on motorcycles. It would be great if they could use the money to have children." Sun Changzheng continued.
Huang Saner said: "Our parents' generation had money but nowhere to spend it. It's different now. Let alone a big unity, even if you bring seven or eight green leather bags with you when you go out, you will have empty pockets when you return home."
"Huang San'er, it's easy for you to talk without any worries. You are the son of the Material Bureau, so you don't have to worry about food and drink. But it's different for us. We don't have enough food every month, so we always have to think about changing fine grains into coarse grains."
Sun Changzheng pointed at himself and said, "Look at me, why am I as skinny as a praying mantis? It's because I was hungry when I was a child. My mother always wants to save some money for emergencies, but how can she do it?
We can only scrape together a few bucks a month, a little here and there. If something goes wrong, our family savings will be emptied out, and we may starve to death, which will take years to recover from. It's easy to say that we have money but nowhere to spend it."
"Come on, Liuzi, we are not having a bitter memory meal today, so you don't have to recall the bitter past here. In a few decades, when you can no longer struggle, you will have plenty of time to recall the glorious past.
I called everyone out for dinner today. First, Huang Saner has been in a bad mood recently, so everyone should have a few drinks with her. Second, I want to tell everyone again that although reselling can make money quickly, it is not the normal circulation of goods and is not in the interests of the country.
Anything that is not in the interests of the country and the interests of the people will definitely be severely cracked down by the country. The sky outside is already covered with wind and clouds, and lightning may strike at any time.
From now on, everyone must abandon the mentality of being a profiteer and stop being obsessed with reselling, especially when it comes to daily necessities that are closely related to the people. That is a minefield and must not be stepped on.
We have all seen how the prices have broken through the barriers in the past six months, and you all know who are the people who have made a lot of money. I dare say that it is not possible for all of them to exit the market safely.
Make a fortune in silence and the truth will prevail wherever you go. If you make too much noise, you will have to be called out to appease the public anger.
As for others, those who know when to quit can make a fortune.”
Nan Yi said, turning his gaze to Sun Changzheng, "You are too greedy. You have lost everything, right?"
"I..." Sun Changzheng stammered, "Master Nan, I didn't lose much."
"I know you are rich and powerful, and you don't care about losing 20 yuan. The normal terminal market price of Hitachi 747 video recorders was around 3,500 yuan six months ago. You bought it at 4,000 yuan and sold it at 4,500 yuan, so you made a profit.
But you, an idiot, want to sell it again. The price has risen to 4700, and you dare to buy it more. What? Do you still expect it to rise to 7400?"
"I originally planned to wait for the price to rise to 5,100 and then go out and make a small profit, but who would have thought that the price would not go up after reaching 5,000, but instead fell." Sun Changzheng said depressedly.
"Nonsense, is it illegal not to buy a video recorder? The price of 4,500 is already beyond the psychological tolerance of ordinary people. The subsequent prices are completely propped up by idiots like you. Once the big dealer withdraws, it will be strange if the price does not fall. Okay, I don't want to say more to you, let me get down to business."
Nan Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "After the price went through, the bank's savings deposits were reduced by more than 30 billion, and the people almost withdrew all their current deposits. The people in the city had no money left.
Eating and drinking are not affected much, but for large items like home appliances, sales will definitely be weak in the coming year, and Jingxi Yiguo will not have an easy time.
The cotton purchase price has increased this year, and farmers will have more money. Those who have been thinking about buying a TV should take action in winter. They should pick a few high-quality and affordable black-and-white TVs and go to the countryside to provide benefits to farmers. "
