Volume 6: The Great Change Chapter 0782 Shangfang Rifle
As soon as Nan Yi said that, Guan Erfu's mind reacted, "Deep Water Bay 777 , Fang Mengyin's manor. Ruoyin, I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
When Li Chi-ling heard the words "Deep Water Bay" and the house number, she felt terrible. There was nothing wrong with living in Deep Water Bay, but those with a house number must be rich or noble.
In the early years, people in Hong Kong only recognized the Half Mountain, and the rich and powerful all lived on the mountain. Now it is different. Almost all the wealthy Chinese in Hong Kong have moved to Deep Water Bay, "Deep Water Bay + house number", everyone is very rich.
"Michelle, go pick out some clothes. I'll make a phone call." Guan Erfu thought for a while and said to Li Chiliang.
After leaving the store, Nan Ruoyin said to Nan Yi, "Dad, you have changed."
"Become more handsome?" Nan Yi asked with a smile.
Nan Ruoyin didn't respond to Nan Yi's suggestion, but said seriously: "Dad, why did you take the initiative to provoke me just now? This is not your style."
"Haha, why didn't I know I had a style?"
"Yes, Dad never likes to get involved in things that don't benefit him. He is ready to kill the other party in his heart, but he will say thank you, sorry, and trouble, but it's so hypocritical... He is civilized and polite, never showing hostility in front of others, and never saying harsh words."
"Hey, you've led Dad into a ditch. You've got nothing better to do than to argue with someone who's paid to do it. Do you want to sing a song with her across the river?"
"Hehe, who made me dislike her? She's a troublemaker, pretending to be a phoenix, and even trying to steal my clothes. I'm going to open an agency tomorrow, sign her, and send her to Tokyo to shoot... Oh my, dad, be gentle."
"First, don't speak Beijing dialect anymore. Once you speak Beijing dialect, your little bit of ruffian nature will come out. Second, as a girl, don't talk nonsense. Don't talk about movies made in Tokyo anymore."
Nan Yi said this, but in his heart he was complaining: "Tokyo is nothing now, the awesome ones are all in Taiwan, and Red Sheep Film Company is really creative."
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me, Dad. You haven't told me why your temperament has changed so drastically. Is it because I came back that you are so excited that you don't know what to do?"
"When did you change your name to bearing? The earth won't turn without you."
Nan Ruoyin chuckled again, "The earth will still turn. It won't turn if Dad leaves me. I am Dad's driving axis."
"You're even wicked to your little girl. Sigh, you've been raised astray, astray. I spent so much time and effort to raise you."
"Raise it." Nan Ruoyin corrected.
Nan Yi waved his hand, "Same idea."
"No, Dad, you are deliberately disgusting me." Nan Ruoyin said unwillingly.
"Okay, okay, we'll raise him. It's not accurate to say that there is no conflict of interest between us and Guan Erfu. In fact, there has been a conflict. This stock market sniper once manipulated the stocks of Hong Kong Gas, and he took away a lot of money by pushing and pulling.
If we did not value Hong Kong Gas's market value, we might have been willing to take the plunge and buy the shares that had already been pushed up by it.
He is a sniper, he sniped this person today, and sniped that person tomorrow. He can snipe others, and others can also snipe him.
Nan Yi said, glancing at Nan Ruoyin, "Don't we need to read Hong Kong newspapers in Mumbai? There was a news article about Guan Erfu in the newspaper three days ago. Go find it and have a look when you get home.
In Xiangkeng, we represent not the Nan family but the Fang Group. The underworld here is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and the ways of the world. What matters is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If someone bites us, we can only bite back. We cannot beat the other person to death with a stick, as that would be breaking the rules.
We can disobey the rules and even overturn the table, but overturning the table will not do us any good. On the contrary, abiding by the rules will allow us to run our business in peace.”
Nan Ruoyin grabbed Nan Yi's arm and begged, "Dad, just tell me what's written in the newspaper. Are we going to bite back at Guan Erfu in the stock market?"
"You little girl, I really can't do anything with you. Remember to read the newspaper next time." Nan Yi shook his head and said helplessly: "Huang Zhouxuan of Qiaofu Group announced that he would acquire the shares of Aiqing Gao at a price of 4.8 Hong Kong dollars, and also acquired the shares of Huaren Real Estate at a price of 3.35. He declared war on Guan Erfu."
Nan Ruoyin's eyes lit up, "Okay, since someone wants to beat Guan Erfu, should we help them out?"
"Of course we have to help. Tomorrow you will go meet Huang Zhouxuan on behalf of the Fang Group. He wants to be the white knight, and we will be his supporters, waving flags and shouting, giving him money. We will give him as much as he wants, as long as he can provide collateral."
"Dad, this is great. If Huang Zhouxuan wins, we can get a share of the spoils. If he loses, we won't suffer any loss. At most, we can just take his collateral."
"Haha, you're just smart."
After shopping in Causeway Bay, Nan Yi and his friend went to Elgin Street in Central. There is a Yuye Dessert on this street, which is famous for its Chinese desserts. After ordering two servings of Tang Bu Shuang, Nan Yi called Zhao Shixian.
PY Securities has been very busy recently. Not only does it have to keep an eye on oil futures, but it also has to keep an eye on the London gold which has been doing very well recently. Zhao Shixian has been working a reversed day and night schedule, usually going to work in the afternoon and getting off work the next morning.
After a while, two portions of sugar dumplings were brought to the table, each containing seven cooked glutinous rice flour balls.
According to legend, Tangbushuang is related to the marriage between men and women. It is located in the Putian area of Dongkeng, Chashan and Hengli towns in Dongzhu. In the old days, marriage between men and women was relatively conservative, let alone free love. Whenever the matchmaker brought the young man to the girl's house to meet, if the girl's parents agreed to the marriage, they would cook Tangbushuang to invite the boy.
When the man saw that the dish served on the table was Tangbushuang, he knew that the marriage could not be cancelled, so he succeeded. The big bowl of Tangbushuang became more and more delicious as he ate it, and he would have another bowl after finishing one, indicating that he was willing to have good things in pairs.
If the woman does not agree to the marriage, then she will cook bean curd soup with beaten eggs. When the man sees the bowl of bean curd soup with beaten eggs on the table, he will know that the marriage is over and he will tactfully decide not to pursue the matter anymore. Although the bean curd soup tastes sweet in the mouth, it is bitter in the heart. He will quickly take a sip and then say goodbye.
"Tang Bushang, one serving of seven cooked glutinous rice balls and seven women, what a coincidence." Looking at Tang Bushang, Nan Yi pondered for a while, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Shixian walking into the store.
"Pig's knuckle noodles, tangerine peel and red bean paste." Zhao Shixian ordered the food and sat down next to Nan Ruoyin. "Rachel, when did you come back?"
"You look beautiful this morning, aunt."
"Really? I think so too." Zhao Shixian stroked his face, glanced at Nan Yi, and said meaningfully: "It's good to have a private jet. You can fly anytime and go anywhere."
"If you want to take a private jet, just buy one yourself. It's not like you can't afford it." Nan Yi said unhappily.
"There's a difference between buying one yourself and getting one as a gift from someone else. Tell me, do you want to give me one?" Zhao Shixian said in a fierce tone, "If you don't, I'll take the initiative to expose it to the magazine, saying that the eldest daughter of the Zhao family has a strange man outside."
"The word 'raise' is well used. Since you are the one raising me, how can you still have the nerve to ask me to give you something?"
"Stingy guy." Zhao Shixian complained, and said, "Tell me, why did you ask me to come down? You didn't just want me to have dessert, did you?"
"Yes, there is something going on. Huang Zhouxuan and Guan Erfu are in conflict. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I want to help Huang Zhouxuan. I will let Ruoyin take care of the details. As the aunt, you can help her."
"How to do it specifically?"
When it comes to business, Zhao Shixian quickly gets into work mode.
"You and Ruoyin can discuss the details. Today, I will officially make it clear that from now on, you will be solely responsible for all financial affairs in Asia except South Korea. And she, my precious daughter, will be the Eight Prefectures Inspector in ancient operas in the future, holding a Shangfang rifle. Under me, there is no need for investigation, and I can directly shoot to death."
"Haha, Rachel, where is your Shangfang rifle? Take it out and show it to me."
"How dare you, a country woman, to offend me? Tell me, who instigated you?" Nan Ruoyin said in a cold voice with her face drooped.
Zhao Shixian put on a miserable face and said, "Sir, I have not been instigated by anyone. I have a great grievance and I want to file a complaint with the emperor."
"Complain to the Emperor?" Nan Ruoyin's face darkened when he heard this. "Guard Zhan, three days ago, I ordered you to clean up the streets and replace the people within a ten-mile radius with actors from the Guo Tai Min An Liyuan Opera House. Why would someone come out to file a complaint to the Emperor today?"
Nan Yi clasped his fists and responded, "Sir, you had the opportunity to be promoted to the left prime minister at the beginning of the year, but the Minister of Personnel interfered and made you miss the opportunity. I arranged this woman, and she wants to sue the nephew of the Minister of Personnel for being rampant in the village, forcing women into prostitution and committing all kinds of evil."
Nan Ruoyin stroked his beard and asked, "Do you have any friends?"
"Yes, all of the clique members are minor officials of the seventh rank, and the highest one is only the sixth rank."
"How many people are there?"
"The number is less than ten, and the affected area is under the control of my subordinates."
Nan Ruoyin stroked his beard again and laughed three times, "Good, very good, Guard Zhan, you are very good. I will take you a concubine next year and let you be my concubine."
"My Lord, you should be honored."
"Huh? I treat you as a brother, and you're not happy?" Nan Ruoyin said with a glare.
"Yes, of course."
"Wonderful, really wonderful, playing music."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yi immediately hummed, "Dangdangdang, dangdang~dangdang, dangdangdang, dangdang~dangdang. In Kaifeng there is a Nan Qingtian who is impartial and just in distinguishing between loyalty and treachery. Heroes from all walks of life come to help him, and Wang Chao and Ma Han are by his side... [No doubt, this song has existed since 1974]"
"Okay, okay, this is a great time to eat hotpot. Guard Zhan, I heard you have a wife named Zhao, who is extremely beautiful, gentle and well-behaved. Bring her out, we'll have her cooked today."
"Okay, Rachel, you actually wanted to eat me!"
