Volume 5: The Age of Storms Chapter 0768 Throwing it in his face
One hundred million U.S. dollars was allocated to establish an identity group under the Intelligence and Policy Committee and to start deployment in Delnan.
Del Sur is a small country in South America with a land area of 160,000 square kilometers. In terms of minerals, except for aluminum ore, which is relatively rich, the reserves of other minerals are not too much, and the forest coverage rate is relatively high. The population is less than 500,000, but it has a complex ethnic composition, among which there are tens of thousands of Chinese, accounting for more than 10%.
Delnan has experienced colonization by several countries. It and French Uruguay are known as the Dragon and Phoenix of South America. The countries that colonized them begged them for independence, but they just didn't want to be independent. French Uruguay is dependent on France, has high welfare, and lives a happy life. Only a fool would seek independence.
Delnan was easier to fool. After Shazhu came to power, he said that the country would become independent during his term of office. When Daqiang, the leader of the country that colonized them, heard this, he thought it was exactly what he wanted. Not only did he support their independence, he also specified a date. This date was very close, so close that there was no time to arrange celebration activities.
When the people of Delnan heard this, they refused to agree. They cursed Shazhu as a fool and asked what independence meant. Didn't they see how comfortable the life of the colonized French Uruguay next door is? Our life is not bad either. Who knows what the situation will be like after independence.
When Shazhu saw this, he realized that he was doomed, he had been too clever, and seeing the public getting excited, he had to declare that what he said about independence was just talk, it was not true at all.
Daqiang was unhappy when he heard this. He said, "We are all fertile women, so you have to keep your word. If you say you want to be independent, you have to be independent. If you don't, I will kill you."
Seeing that Daqiang was so strong, Shazhu just pissed himself and decided to be independent, but he wanted Daqiang to pay him a "shame money", bah, "independence fee". If Daqiang didn't pay, he would never be independent.
Daqiang had no choice but to bargain with Shazhu, and finally gave him more than 3 billion as independence fee, finally getting rid of the burden of Delnan.
Delnan is located in a remote area, has no strategic significance, and is poor in resources, so it will not be noticed by major powers. However, the country has many political parties and power is relatively dispersed, making it very suitable for the Nan family to get involved.
The Nan Group has enterprises of various natures, including wholly-owned, joint ventures, foreign-funded, and collective enterprises, but there is no pure state-owned enterprise. Nan Yi hopes to establish the Delnan state-owned enterprise belonging to the Nan Group in Delnan to fill the missing link.
State-owned enterprises are burdened with heavy burdens. One enterprise has to support an entire industry and may lose hundreds of billions every year. However, for the sake of a reputation, Nan Yi accepted it. He was rich and willful, so he would make losses for ten years and write a romantic novel about the rich - "After ten years of losses, he finally became the richest man."
…
"An old man owed us two money. I said I would pay him back in three days, but he said he would pay me back in four days. I told him to get out of here. I bought three leeks for 0.33 yuan, a piece of meat for 0.66 yuan, and a string of candied haws for 0.77 yuan. I walked through two alleys and got punched twice..."
On January 6, when Nan Yi returned to Longkunxia Village, he heard a few little kids humming "Old Dingtou" and drawing "Old Dingtou" on the ground with their hands.
Nan Yi felt at first sight that those little brats were hopeless. What was the fun in drawing? When they grew up, they could at most use his daughter as a model for nude art. In order to change their values and get them back on the right track, Nan Yi gave each of them a smashing missile he brought from Shencun, and also gave each of them a handful of bullets.
In an instant, missiles were flying all over the sky and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Looking at the little kids having fun, Nan Yi stood there and laughed Gigagigi. In Shencun, he bought a large number of artillery missiles on credit from Fan Hongdou, as well as plastic revolvers and zinc alloy pistols, and a lot of bullets.
The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and he planned to use these toys to earn some money for the New Year, and at the same time bring joy and laughter to the children on Qiong Island, as well as the scolding and beatings from their parents. In order to buy these treasures in his hands, some children would inevitably roll on the ground.
Nan Yi went upstairs and put his things in the office, then went downstairs with a bag and called Zhao Jun outside.
"There are still twenty days until the Chinese New Year. Are you ready to go home?"
"I haven't thought about it."
Zhao Jun is too embarrassed to go back. He was full of ambition when he came out, and he must return with glory. Although his salary is not bad now, he doesn't have enough money to pay for the trip home, buy gifts, and act like a rich man.
"You should go back for the New Year. Christmas has just passed and Europe is still in the holiday mood. It's not easy to do business during this period. I just bought a batch of goods and I'll assign someone to work for you while you sell the goods.
The goods are worth 600,000. I won't set a selling price for you. The higher the better. The difference will be divided into three equal parts, and you can take one of them."
Nan Yi patted Zhao Jun on the shoulder and said, "Children's toys are very easy to sell. The goods will arrive tomorrow at noon. The year-end party is on the 12th, and the company will have a New Year's Eve dinner. You have about five and a half days to sell the goods. Don't let me down, and don't let yourself down.
Here's a tip for you. Go to Donghu Park now. There are many wanderers there. Find a few reliable people to sell with you. Don't sell in small quantities, but in wholesale. This is a sample."
After saying that, Nan Yi handed the bag in his hand to Zhao Jun.
"Boss, I..."
Zhao Jun grabbed the bag and his eyes felt sore.
"Okay, tell us about the work you have and get going quickly. This deal has nothing to do with Yiwan International. Even if you take leave these few days, your salary will still be deducted."
"Haha, yes, I'll get right away...hehehe." Zhao Jun said, grinning foolishly.
Things like firecrackers don't sell that fast in retail. Firecrackers start at 1 yuan, bullets are 50 cents a board, revolvers are 3 yuan, and Mauser pistols start at 10 yuan. The prices are not cheap. It's not so bad in the city, but few parents in the countryside are willing to buy them for their children.
But it was obvious that there was a market for these things, so it would be easy to do wholesale. And it happened to be the eve of the Chinese New Year, so regardless of the plight of the seafarers or the festive atmosphere, it could be considered good news. If Zhao Jun couldn't sell 450,000 [normal wholesale price is 500,000, Nan Yi's face value is 50,000, and the markup is 150,000] of goods in five and a half days, then he would be in trouble.
If Nan Yi were to sell them himself, he could guarantee that all of them would be wholesaled in less than two days.
While Nan Yi was not paying attention, the time thief stole another three and a half days.
Xian Jitong had just returned and handed over 270,000 yuan to Nan Yi on behalf of the Zhao army. This was the second time he had paid money. Including the 240,000 yuan from the day before, it was already 510,000 yuan. Even if Nan Yi didn't care about his face, he had already broken even.
Nan Yi took out ten thousand from the pile of money and put the half a million into a bag.
There is no rush to return the money to Fan Hongdou. Nan Yi plans to take advantage of the annual holiday of the eel breeding base and vegetable garden of the Kenzhi Group to have the workers carry a color TV each to Yangcheng. Whether they use it for themselves or resell it, it is a disguised way for Nan Yi to bring the money back and let the workers make some money at the same time.
To ship a batch of color TVs to the mainland, one either has to go through the formalities honestly, or smuggle them over and take one back with them for personal use, without having to pay handling fees or taxes. There are loopholes here, and some people are doing it, but the scale is not large and the risk is very high.
Whether it is calling a large group of people to transport hundreds of units at a time, or the same group of people repeatedly transporting goods back and forth, this requires a prerequisite - the customs is blind. If each passenger on a ferry has a color TV, the customs cannot turn a blind eye. If a group of people run back and forth, are they really afraid that others will not remember their appearance?
A more feasible way is to ask five or six people to transport goods each time, and constantly change the transporters, just like ants moving house. However, this method also has a fatal problem - it is impossible to find so many trustworthy people. As long as one person runs away with the goods on average per trip, forget about making money, and the loss will be greater than the loss.
It would be fun if all the people transporting goods ran away together.
It was time for dinner again. Su Meng fried the Solanum nigrum leaves [Black Tiantian, Black Xingxing, Black Youyou] that Nan Yi picked with tofu. It was so fragrant. Nan Yi was about to enjoy the meal when he saw Chen .
Putting down his chopsticks, Nan Yi said teasingly, "Blind man, did you come here at a certain time?"
Although he said this, Nan Yi still stood up, opened the gauze door, invited Chen Ruishi to the square table, took a lunch box for her, and handed her a pair of chopsticks.
Chen Ruishi took the chopsticks, said thank you and started eating with big mouthfuls, as if she was hungry.
"Tell me, what happened to your father?"
Hearing Nan Yi's words, Chen Ruishi accidentally choked and tapped her chest. After she recovered, she said, "Your father is the one who got into trouble."
Nan Yi took a glass of water and handed it to him, "Why are you in such a hurry to eat? You must be a starving ghost. You can't be unable to make a living, right?"
"How is that possible? I found a job the next day after I arrived." Chen Ruishi replied while eating.
"Why are you here today if you have work? You don't have to go to work?"
“I quit.”
"What kind of job is this? Why are you quitting so soon?"
"waiter."
Nan Yi stood in awe, held Chen Ruishi's arm, and said excitedly: "Comrade Chen Ruishi, you actually went on a private visit in disguise and personally went to the front line to experience the suffering of the people. I want to call on everyone to learn from you.
I will take a black and white photo of you and hang it on the wall of the office. I will ask all employees to bow to you three times when they arrive at the company every day, burn three sticks of incense to you at noon, and report to you on the day's work before leaving get off work... Hey, don't hit me."
Chen Ruishi glared at Nan Yi, clenched her fist to warn him, picked up the chopsticks on the bowl and continued eating.
Seeing that Chen Ruishi was really hungry, Nan Yi stopped teasing her and started eating by himself.
After dinner, after Su Meng took away the lunch box, Nan Yi cleared the square table and made a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Chen Ruishi.
"Tell me, are you here to experience life, or are you having a quarrel with your family?"
"No, we're not at odds. Didn't I write in the letter that the doctor said that it won't be long before my eyes become severely myopic? I want to see more of the world while my eyes are still good."
"Oh, where do you work as a waiter?"
"Dance Hall."
"You really know how to choose a place. Is there a man who gives you money and wants you to play with him?"
"Yes, a pervert from somewhere gave me a wad of money, about three or four thousand, and asked me to accompany him to Asia for a few days. I threw the money in his face, and the pervert called the manager. That's how I lost my job."
Nan Yi took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Haha, he's probably a trader. He'll definitely be running around everywhere. When he gets to Chengdu, you can use the excuse that he ate wonton without soy sauce and lock him up for a year."
"I'm not that kind of person. I don't hate that pervert that much. I've worked in the dance hall for more than a month and I've seen several waiters unable to resist this kind of temptation. The pervert's courage was boosted by others. That manager is annoying. He actually withheld my salary and didn't pay me."
"So, did you come here today to ask me to help you get your salary, or did you want revenge?"
Chen Ruishi shook her head. "I don't want to think about anything. I just came here to eat. My mother asked someone to send me money. It will arrive soon."
"Are you ready to take root here?"
"No, we go to Hongfeng Farm for the New Year. My mother left from there. She will come over for the New Year this year as well."
Nan Yi thought that this made sense. If the Chen family didn't have any acquaintances here, how could they be confident that Chen Ruishi could venture out here alone?
"So what new job are you looking for?"
