Volume 6: The Great Change Chapter 0781: The Edge Will Be Revealed
After watching the news, Zhao Shixian went to prepare breakfast for the two. When they sat at the dining table, Zhao Shixian asked, "Do you think the United Nations will send troops?"
Nan Yi pried open the egg white, picked up the plate and sucked the soft-boiled egg yolk into his mouth. He licked his lips and said, "Is it necessary to ask such an obvious question?"
"Then there will be another wave of market conditions that can be manipulated soon. There will be a short-term surge before the war, and then a rapid decline after the war." Zhao Shixian said after thinking for a while.
"Hehe, why do you think so?" Nan Yi said with a slight smile.
"Why did you go long before, but now you're going short? Although the documents sent by Scarlett Fund are not clear, I can guess that the United States is definitely going to release strategic oil reserves. The think tanks sitting in the White House are not idiots. How could they not think that as long as they send troops, oil prices will rise again? In order to suppress oil prices, the United States will definitely release strategic oil reserves again.
The timing of the second wave of the market is very important. Tell the people at Scarlett Fund not to send me ambiguous messages anymore. I want the exact timing."
Nan Yi nodded, "I know. Don't build the second wave of warehouses too big. That's a feast for others, and we can only drink some soup."
"The Elephant Party?"
"Um."
Among all kinds of economics, apart from the basic logical practicality, the remaining hundreds of thousands of theories are useless. Economics is an extension of politics. A person who aspires to become the richest man should not study complicated and useless economic theories, but should study psychology and politics, or learn some eloquence.
Flipping through a masterpiece of economics, it is filled with all kinds of difficult-to-pronounce terms, which make people feel mysterious and awe-inspiring. In fact, some economists are just showing off with their limited literary talent. Most economists have nothing to do with wealth, and their good life comes from writing fees and lecture fees.
They may not understand how to apply the economic theories they have summarized, but that does not prevent them from teaching outstanding entrepreneurs. Sherman Chaver can't swim at all, but as a coach he has trained many world-class swimmers. What he says and what he does are always unrelated.

Just like the success gurus who teach people how to succeed, the only success story they can share is that they can trick people into paying for their lectures. Other than that - if you understand, applause!
The financial market is also closely related to politics. The Scarlett Fund was able to accurately go long on oil futures because of intelligence. A lot of prior investment and preparation created an information gap, which has little to do with Nan Yi’s memory. In his memory, Iraq attacked Kuwait in 1991, but he didn’t remember the specific date. Obviously his memory was vague and wrong.
Regarding the entire Gulf War, Nan Yi only remembers three words clearly - the third military power, Scud, and Patriot. For the rest, he could only sit at the table in a daze and listen to others bragging.
The reason for going long comes from intelligence, and the reason for going short still comes from intelligence, intelligence within the circle.
“If Iraq invades Kuwait, how should the United States respond?”
The Pentagon has long been discussing this issue and economic strategies. Scarlett receives timely information. As long as money is involved, all actions of the United States are closely related to the Jews. From the Federal Reserve to Wall Street, every link is filled with Jews, well, wealthy Jewish people.
If we ask ourselves honestly, half of the credit for the growth of the Nan family should be awarded to Scarlett, Nan Yi gets 30%, and the remaining 20% belongs to all members of the Nan family.
Without Scarlett as his lover and bond, Nan Yi, a person who wants too much, would find his life more colorful, with a business war today, a gunfight tomorrow, and hiding from missiles in a cave the day after tomorrow. It would be so exciting.
"What are you going to do today?"
“Go to Wong Tai Sin to burn incense and pray for the people of Kuwait, and call on the brave and kind-hearted Kuwaiti people in the temple to put aside their worldly possessions and go back to face the national crisis together.”
"Personal belongings?" Zhao Shixian thought for a moment and scolded with a smile: "You are really a ghoul. You can still think of copying the Kuwaitis at this time. If the price is attractive, buy a few sets for me."
The Kuwaitis are extremely wealthy. In Xiangkeng, many Kuwaitis live in Western-style houses and keep foreign dogs. They lead a very comfortable life. Two days ago, Nan Yi asked the people of Creativity Real Estate to be ready to contact the Kuwaitis at any time to provide financial assistance to their great Patriotic War. In return for their kindness, he only needs to take back the cold bricks and cement.
"Okay, get your checkbook ready." Nan Yi wiped his mouth with a napkin. "If you want to capture a man's heart, you have to capture his stomach. Apparently, you haven't heard of this motto."
"Next time you can choose to eat it or not." Zhao Shixian said directly.
"It's shameful to waste food. Take your time to enjoy it. I'll go first. There's no traffic jam at this time." Nan Yi said, standing up and pretending to leave.
"Come again tonight... Come on, I have to watch over the company tonight, you are free to move around."
"Thanks for your hard work."
You need to add more water when cooking rice. If there is too little water, the rice will be hard. If there is more water, the rice will be soft. As a person who has been through this, Nan Yi knows that soft rice is very fragrant and delicious.
Nan Yi has always supported gender equality. He knows very well that countless women want to dominate the workplace, be versatile and look down on the world. He is willing to contribute a little of his own strength to let the insignificant number of women enjoy the feeling of being looked down upon by a man. He is particularly happy to be a vassal, or a lover or a little wolf dog.
Nan Yi did not go to Wong Tai Sin. Someone would naturally do the bottom-fishing work, so he did not need to do it himself. He went straight back to Fang's Manor and sat in the living room. While watching TV, he wondered whether he should publish a book called "The Ladder for Men to Climb to the Top - Address Book of Fortune 500 Rich Women". He didn't know what the market potential was and whether it would be a hot seller.
…
In the morning, Nan Yi stayed at home alone. At noon, he went out to have lunch with Zhu Youren, the president of Creativity Real Estate.
After ordering the menu, Nan Yi asked Zhu Youren a question.
“What will happen to housing prices in the rest of this year?”
Zhu Youren blurted out, "It should fall but it doesn't. Under the influence of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Hong Kong's housing prices should fall according to common sense. However, the Hong Kong government has just approved the first phase of the civil servants' housing plan, and the Banking Association has cut interest rates twice. The two offset each other. In the next few months, housing prices should fluctuate within a small range and will not fluctuate too much."
The cost of living in Hong Kong is closely related to oil. Once the price of oil rises, the price of goods in Hong Kong will rise accordingly, and the livability index will decrease. This will make the middle class pessimistic about the future of Hong Kong, and housing prices will naturally respond.
"Well, did you sign any orders this morning?"
"Three villas, one at 8.2% off, one at 8.5% off, and the last at 20% off."
Nan Yi nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, well done. If you find a particularly favorable price, please leave two sets. I will use them as a favor."
"Okay, Nansheng."
Nan Yi and Zhu Youren didn't talk too much. Creativity Real Estate wouldn't have any big moves recently. The foreshadowing had already been laid, and they could just continue to collect old buildings and renovate them step by step.
Nan Yi spent the afternoon at the breeding base of Xijing Company in Huoshizhou.
After several years of exploration, the company has gained experience in the cultivation of high-end, high-quality oysters. Whether it is French oysters, Australian oysters or Japanese oysters, it has been tentatively supplied to high-end restaurants. As long as there is another one or two years of improvement and market occupation, Nan Yi should be able to be awarded the title of "King of High-end Oysters".
The next day, Nan Yi was curled up on the sofa reading a newspaper, glancing at the computer screen from time to time. Suddenly, a blue lightning struck from outside the door, rushing into Nan Yi's arms at lightning speed.
"Stop, little girl, you're growing so fast. You're only fifteen but your figure is like that of a twenty-year-old. You're not young anymore. You need to be careful about the difference between men and women."
"Dad, don't you love me anymore?" Nan Ruoyin said with a mischievous look on her face.
"Stop being naughty. You've grown wings and learned to lie. Didn't you say you would be back at the end of the month? Why are you back today?"
Nan Ruoyin walked over to sit next to Nan Yi, took his arm and swung it, "I flew back because I knew Dad was in Xiangkeng. Dad, can we go shopping later?"
"It's very hot today, wait until it's cooler before going out."
"That's fine." Nan Ruoyin nodded and said, "Rachel's space travel laboratory has been built. Dad, when will your money arrive?"
Nan Yi frowned and said, "This was not the name we originally decided on. Why did you change it?"
“That’s a nice name.”
"Okay, you can call it that if you want. Look..." Nan Yi pointed at the computer screen, "My money is right there. I'll transfer it to you when the position is closed."
Nan Ruoyin glanced at the computer screen and immediately said with a smile: "Oh, Dad, you don't allow others to do insider trading, but you are doing it yourself. It's really like the governor is allowed to set fires but the people are not allowed to light lamps."
"Don't talk nonsense. Dad is not insider trading. I'm thirsty. We have Aiyu ice and watermelon at home. Just call me. I want a bowl of Aiyu ice and a glass of watermelon juice."
"Oh, sure."
Nan Ruoyin leaned forward, sat up from the sofa, picked up the intercom on the coffee table and started muttering.
After a while, Mrs. Chen brought the things over. After putting them down, she still stood there holding the tray, as if she had something to say.
"Mrs. Chen, you are not an outsider, just say whatever you want to say."
Mrs. Chen hesitated for a while, then said in a gentle voice, "Wenqin graduated from university this year and found a job, but she's not very happy with it."
Mrs. Chen is a close friend, so Nan Yi is naturally concerned about her family's situation. He knows that her daughter, Chen Wenqin, will graduate from the Chinese University this year. However, Chen Wenqin is not a talented person, so Nan Yi did not make any arrangements.
"If you're not happy doing it, then don't do it. Ask Wenqin to come over for dinner tomorrow and I'll talk to her."
Mrs. Chen was delighted when she heard this, "Thank you, young master."
"You're welcome. We're all family."
Mrs. Chen thanked him twice more before leaving with the tray.
As soon as she left, Nan Ruoyin picked up a bowl of Aiyu Bing and handed it to Nan Yi, "Dad, are you going to arrange a job for Chen Wenqin?"
"Um."
"I've seen Chen Wenqin several times. She's a bit dull and doesn't seem capable of doing anything. Dad, didn't you say that Nan's company would eliminate nepotism?"
Nan Yi scooped a spoonful of Aiyu ice, took a bite, and put the spoon down. "For a situation like today, I have been mentally prepared. I still need to take care of my family's children, even if they are mediocre.
However, people cannot be arranged within the Nan Group's system. We need to set up a company independent of the Nan Group to arrange people like Chen Wenqin. Please help Dad think about what kind of business is easier to do, not seeking profit, but only seeking to balance income and expenditure, without having to put money into it."
"Dad, there's no such good thing. You have to work hard on any business. How can you do well if you just muddle through?" Nan Ruoyin said with a bitter face.
"That's not necessarily true. Think about it carefully and you can think of it."
Nan Yi subconsciously reached out his hand to touch Nan Ruoyin's hair, but he pulled back halfway. Nan Ruoyin was growing up too fast, and the words "no physical contact" were already engraved on her forehead.
"Is there?" Nan Ruoyin asked with her head tilted.
"some."
The daytime time flies by, the prostate patient is dripping in front of the toilet, frowning and relaxing his brows and it will pass.
It was dusk.
After dinner, Nan Yi and Nan Ruoyin appeared on the streets of Causeway Bay.
"Dad, the share price of Donglaiwu has reached 5.7 yuan, which is 4.2 yuan higher than when it was first listed. Now its valuation exceeds 1 billion Hong Kong dollars." Nan Ruoyin said, holding Nan Yi's hand and shaking it.
"It's almost done. We can start preparing for shipment tomorrow after talking to Wang Yan. You can keep an eye on this matter and accumulate some experience."
"Yeah, sure." Nan Ruoyin responded, "Dad, Hongdou will be taking the college entrance exam next year, should I also prepare to go to college?"
"It's up to you to decide whether it's next year or the year after. You're one year younger than Hongdou."
Nan Ruoyin thought for a moment and asked, "Dad, there won't be any major events in the Nan family in the next few years, right?"
"Probably not. It would be better if you go to college earlier. You can graduate earlier. You can try to get a master's degree in four years."
"Four years is not too difficult. Two years to complete undergraduate credits and two years for graduate studies. There is plenty of time. I want to try to see if I can get a doctorate degree in four years." Nan Ruoyin said arrogantly.
"Haha, I forgot you're a genius. But you don't have to graduate with a PhD in four years. That's not realistic. If you want to break through reality, you either have to go through a backdoor or your performance is far beyond the average person."
"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Dad, you asked me to hide my incompetence, so what I said is not impossible."
"It's impossible, then it's impossible. The main purpose of letting you go to college is to let you enjoy the wonderful college life. You have already missed the experience of junior high and high school, so you can't miss college again. You are different from your father. Your father only became smart when he went to college. He spent three years studying."
Nan Yi patted the back of Nan Ruoyin's hand and said, "You are different. Dad pushed you to learn faster and laid a solid foundation since you were three years old. In nearly ten years, you have learned a lot and seen a lot. At least 99% of the people in this world don't have as much experience and knowledge as you.
Although your competitors are the remaining 1%, you don't need to push yourself too hard. You are already ahead in terms of IQ and effort. You can relax a little. After college, it will be your gap year. You are also at the best age to have fun. Go and have fun whatever you want. Have fun and don't leave any regrets in your life."
"Play, what else can I play?" Nan Ruoyin said in confusion: "Dad, I have been playing what I want to play. I can't think of anything else I want to play but haven't played yet, except the mysteries of the universe."
"Oh, so, no matter how talented you are, you can't break through the shackles of age." Nan Yi pushed open the glass door of a specialty store and walked into the store with Nan Ruoyin, "Some things you like now, you may not like them as you get older, and some things you don't like now, you may like them in a few years.
Age is always 1+1+1, adding up year by year. The accumulation of years also needs to be accumulated bit by bit. No matter how talented you are, you cannot understand yourself at the age of thirty or fifty.
Well, at the age of fifteen, you should experience the immaturity of being fifteen. Don’t expect today to pass quickly, and don’t expect to grow up quickly.
Who are you?
You are Nan Ruoyin, you are my Nan Yi’s precious daughter, always live in the present.”
Nan Ruoyin thought for a moment and then said jokingly, "Hehe, Dad, you are pretending to be a philosopher. No matter how you look at it, you don't look like one."
"Don't you think so?"
“No.”
"Oh, Dad will immediately change his name to Southern Philosopher."
"whee."
"Stop laughing, go look at the clothes. Dad is rich now, a wealthy man." Nan Yi raised his hand and pointed at the display rack, "Buy whatever clothes you like here. Even those who ride a 28-inch bicycle have to buy a mink coat. Who are we? We are nouveau riche. How can we wear inferior clothes? Buy as much as you can."
"Haha, Dad, I'm going to stay with you, a rich man, today." Nan Ruoyin laughed.
While Nan Ruoyin went to pick out clothes, Nan Yi walked towards the rest area and picked up a copy of "壸周刊". He skipped over the other contents and went straight to the gossip section. He took a quick look and found nothing worth reading. So Nan Yi casually picked up an article and read it. After reading one or two lines, he looked up to look for Nan Ruoyin.
Sometimes Nan Ruoyin would meet Nan Yi's eyes and would hold the clothes in front of her, silently asking for Nan Yi's opinion. Nan Yi would sometimes nod and sometimes shake his head.
When Nan Yi looked up for the seventh time, there was a man and a woman beside Nan Ruoyin. The woman could be recognized as Li Chijing at a glance, and the man could be recognized as Guan Erfu after a little identification and inference. At this time, Li Chijing was pointing at the clothes in Nan Ruoyin's hand and acting coquettishly towards Guan Erfu.
"Hey, Li Chiliang is already with Guan Erfu now?" Nan Yi was slightly surprised, then laughed jokingly, "The duck voice is really haunting, the probability of this encounter is a bit high."
Nan Yi lowered his head and continued reading the magazine. He was not worried about Nan Ruoyin at all. Not to mention that this girl was quirky, since Guan Erfu had been able to make a name for himself, he naturally knew how to behave.
Nan Ruoyin was staring at Li Chijing's face with a playful look on her face. "Do you like this dress? It's easy. Just take a picture of a blank check and say "fill in whatever you want". I'll give you the dress right away."
After hearing Nan Ruoyin's words, Li Zhiliang immediately said to Guan Erfu coquettishly, "Joseph, look, she is embarrassing me."
"Michelle, this dress is not limited edition, you can ask the salesperson to get you another one."
Guan Erfu was a little unhappy with Li Chijing's unreasonable behavior, but it was not too strong. This woman was pretty, could be taken out, and could let go when necessary. He was very satisfied with her, and a little flaw was no big deal.
"No, I just like the one in her hand." As she said that, Li Zhijing gave Nan Ruoyin a provocative look, which flashed away. As she turned to face Guan Erfu, she put on an admiring expression again and said in a coquettish tone: "Joseph, okay?"
The worship and coquetry made Guan Erfu's rationality melt slightly. He responded helplessly, then looked at Nan Ruoyin and said, "Miss, can you change to another one as compensation? I will pay for your bill."
"OK."
Nan Ruoyin agreed with a smile, thinking that it would be a waste if she didn't take advantage of the opportunity .
"No, why pay for her?"
Li Chijing strongly objected. It was not that she really liked the clothes in Nan Ruoyin's hand, she just wanted to stand out. As for why she did this, it was because she felt threatened by Nan Ruoyin.
Nan Ruoyin chuckled and turned to look at Guan Erfu, looking forward to his next move.
However, she probably couldn't see it, because Nan Yi had already stood up and walked towards her.
Nan Yi looked up again and saw that the three people were still arguing. He put down the magazine and quickly walked to Nan Ruoyin, "Have you made your choice?"
"Almost, how do you think I look in this?"
Nan Ruoyin deliberately did not call Nan Yi "Dad" and even gestured her clothes to Nan Yi, which was clearly a provocation to Li Chiliang.
Nan Yi did not answer as Nan Ruoyin expected, but said directly: "The clothes are nice, but they are not suitable for you. This dress is more suitable for people who are older."
Nan Yi gestured to Li Chijing, "Look, this lady is more suitable for it. It will definitely make her look ten years younger... It turned out to be Miss Li Chijing. Sorry, I said the wrong thing. It will make you look six years older and more mature and charming. You and Mr. Qiu Zhen will be a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."
After saying that, Nan Yi pretended to have just seen Guan Erfu's appearance clearly, and quickly apologized again, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, please forgive my poor eyesight, it turned out to be Guan Sheng, you guys continue, I won't disturb you, Ruoyin, put the clothes down, this dress is not suitable for your age."
Nan Yi didn't give others a chance to react and went straight into a stand-up comedy. If the jokes were not difficult to connect, he would have invited Guan Erfu to play golf or billiards and let him take the first or last place.
Guan Erfu heard the sarcasm in Nan Yi's words, but he did not get angry. Knowing him, the other party dared to do such a thing. The other party was either a young man or had someone to rely on. He would not do anything before finding out the other party's background.
“You…you…you…”
Guan Erfu could act after careful planning, but Li Chiliang couldn't help it. She kept saying "you" for a long time but didn't know what to say. Nan Yi's tone was gentle, and his words were very appropriate when they were separated, but when they were put together, it made people very uncomfortable. She wanted to refute, but it was not easy to refute, because every word of him was right, how could she refute?
"Ms. Li, this is our second meeting. Because of your... frankness, both times were not very pleasant, but it's not a big deal. I hope there won't be a next time." Then Nan Yi said to Guan Erfu: "This is my daughter. She lives at 777 Deep Water Bay."
