"President Nan, I know what to do."
"Deputy Director Zhou, I need the name of an architectural designer. In order to reflect the internationalization of Coconut Tree Building, this designer must be a foreigner and a rising star. It would be best if he could become an internationally renowned top designer in a few years.
Please note that what I value most is not industry recognition, but popularity. One of the three magazines, Abitare, Domus, and Architecture and Urbanism, must have reported on him. When we brag about him, we must be targeted. "
Du Tiangong’s wife Zhou Jina serves as the technical deputy director of the real estate department, mainly responsible for architectural design work.
"Okay." Zhou Jina responded.
"Director Du, please continue with your previous work."
"clear."
Du Tiangong serves as the technical director of the real estate department and is mainly responsible for construction work.
After giving the order neatly, Nan Yi waved his hand again, "Okay, Vice President Li stays, you guys go out."
After the others left, Nan Yi said to Li Jialong: "Jialong, the Dream Town project is huge and will take a long time. We need to work together. However, for me, this project is not a big project. I have a lot of things to do and don't have much time to spend here, so I arranged Ma Mingyu, Du Tiangong and Zhou Jina to come in.
I just wanted the project to go more smoothly and didn't think too much about anything else.
I believe your time is also valuable, so let's be honest with each other and not waste time on meaningless internal friction, what do you think? "
"President Nan, we at Temasek invested in this project because we are optimistic about its prospects. From Temasek's standpoint, we hope that this project can proceed smoothly. From my personal perspective, this is just a starting point for me." Li Jialong looked at Nan Yi's face and said calmly.
"Then we have reached a consensus and it is a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
Nan Yi stood up and extended his right hand to Li Jialong. Li Jialong also stood up and held his right hand.
One has a lot of trivial matters to deal with, while the other has great ambitions. Dream Town is a transition for both of them. Nan Yi thinks this is a good idea as it can save him some energy.
After a long conversation with Li Jialong, Nan Yi called Tang Jiangong of Jingjun Construction.
"Mr. Tang."
"Who?"
"Nan Yi."
"Hello, President Nan. It's been a while since we last contacted each other."
"Yeah, I haven't contacted you for a long time. Are you busy recently?"
"I just finished a project and now I'm worried about not having any more projects to do."
"That's perfect. I'll invite you to come to Coconut City for a few days, drink coconut milk, eat seafood, and discuss some small projects."
"Okay, since President Nan has invited me, I will definitely honor you. Wait a moment, I'll check the plane."
"Please."
Nan Yi waited for a while, and Tang Jiangong's voice sounded again, "Boss Nan, I checked and there is a plane flying to Dayingshan Airport tomorrow morning, and it will arrive in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'll pick you up."
Knock knock knock.
"Come in." Nan Yi put down the phone and shouted.
“Boss…”
"President Nan."
"Uh... President Nan, Duan Wenxuan wants to meet with you."
"You have been the one in charge of the coordination all along. Why does he want to see me?" Nan Yi spread out a document and asked without raising his head.
"You are the president, of course he wants to talk to you."
Lai Huri sat down opposite Nan Yi, took out an individually wrapped cigar from his jacket pocket, tore open the package, toasted it with a special lighter, lit it, and put it in his mouth.
"when?"
"He said he's available tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Lai Hu Ri took a puff of his cigar and exhaled a puff of thick smoke.
"dial."
"I'm smoking a cigar."
Nan Yi raised his hand and wrote a few words on the document, "Even if you are drawing blood, dial me. You are the general manager and I am the president."
"Okay, okay, you're my superior, I'll call, I'll call."
Lai Huri picked up the microphone on the table, dialed the number, and when he heard the connection tone, he handed the microphone to Nan Yi.
"Hello, Mayor Duan. I'm Nan Yi from Dream Town. Sorry to bother you. I heard you wanted to see me. Is it convenient for you tomorrow morning? Okay, I'll visit you in your office at 9:30 tomorrow morning...Okay, Mayor Duan, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi asked, "What kind of person is Duan Wenxuan?"
"He is a scholarly official who speaks in a rather flowery way. He studied economics abroad on a full-time basis and has a PhD. He has a lot of knowledge."
"Doctor of Economics, that's interesting. I'm looking forward to meeting you tomorrow."
"I'll tell you another piece of news that will be even more interesting. Nanhai Development Group submitted a construction report to the city. Hu Guanghua also wants to build a landmark building, a 30-story international commercial building, with a swimming pool, tennis courts, leisure plazas, and a series of other supporting facilities."
As soon as Nan Yi heard it, he knew what Hu Guanghua was planning. It was just a gimmick to build a landmark building to get the land.
"Oh, just tell me how much land Hu Guanghua plans to take and where it is."
"On the edge of the Gold Coast, 300 acres."
Nan Yi closed the file and thought for a while, "I understand. Duan Wenxuan wants to see me probably because of this report on the development of the South China Sea."
"Because of the report, what do you mean?"
"It's impossible for a PhD in economics not to know what an economic bubble is. Do you think Duan Wenxuan can think of what Hu Guanghua and I can think of?"
Lai Huri hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be possible."
Nan Yi leaned back in his chair and said, "All the assets of Nanhai Development can be estimated at a maximum of 200 million. It would cost at least 100 million to build an international commercial building. Unless Nanhai Development does not plan to continue operating, it would be a waste of time to build a building that will not see returns in the short term. It is better to put the money in the bank and earn interest than to build a building.
Duan Wenxuan can definitely see this clearly. We have one building and Nanhai Development has one. Which of these two iconic buildings is real and which is fake, or are both fake?"
"Boss, are you saying that Duan Wenxuan is worried that our Dream Town plan is fake?"
"No, I think he's worried that we'll delay the project."
Lai Huri asked, "Should we delay then?"
"No need to drag it out, just follow the normal pace."
Nan Yi said he would not delay, but in fact he was already delaying. Otherwise, when there was a plan for the Dream Town last year, why didn't he find a designer to start designing early? Wasn't it just to make the delay look "not delayed"?
He just said he wanted to find a designer today, and never mentioned the drawings that Zhou Jina and her colleagues designed last year. Design requires inspiration, and inspiration is something mysterious. If it's fast, it only takes a few seconds, but if it's slow, it may take several months to come out. Anyway, the timing of the inspiration is now controlled by Nan Yi, and it can only come out if he says it, otherwise he will continue to hold it in.
Once we enter the construction phase, the project progress cannot be delayed at will. Every day of delay costs money.
After sitting in the office in the Financial Building for half a day, Nan Yi rushed back to Longkunxia Village at noon to eat the meal made by Su Meng, and then worked in the office of Green Core Development in the afternoon.
"Nansheng, the international market has shown structural weakness this year. The export volume of the Guangzhou Spring Fair has dropped significantly compared with last year. The situation of the Autumn Fair in a few days may not be optimistic." Zhao Jinshui said.
"Why are you not optimistic?"
"As fewer and fewer people in Japan wear kimonos, the consumption of raw silk is also declining year by year. This year, Japan's raw silk production can reach 90,000 bales, plus the 35,000 bales of inventory at the beginning of the year and imported raw silk, the total amount of white factory silk is 180,000 bales, which has exceeded Japan's domestic consumption.
Moreover, I heard that Japan has requested several times to postpone the delivery of this year's agreed silk. A total of 40,000 bales of agreed silk have been delivered, but less than 30,000 bales have been delivered.
It is estimated that when we negotiate the export of silk/satin next year, Japan will definitely propose a reduction, especially for silk, which may not reach half of this year’s amount.”
"What about silk? Japan didn't import much last year. Will the situation improve this year?"
“It has improved.”
"continue."
"In June, we developed an Italian silk customer. I talked to the customer and found that Italy's raw silk consumption has dropped a lot this year. Last year, silk prices rose, and Italian silk merchants bought a lot of silk due to concerns about supply constraints. In one year, the import of raw silk reached 5,661 tons, exceeding the normal annual demand of 4,500 tons.
Nansheng, this is the price of silk in the mainland after the adjustment this year."
Zhao Jinshui handed a price list to Nan Yi, "Compared with the prices above, the price of silk produced in Italy is only about 20% higher than that of mainland goods, and the quality is obviously better than that of mainland goods, so it is more competitive.
Customers are particularly worried that the price of silk in the mainland will also fall, and are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards silk transactions this year.
In July, I contacted our related factory and developed two new products, ties and scarves. The international sales price of ties is US$80-120, and we have a profit margin of about US$10; the sales price of scarves is between US$90-150, and we have a profit margin of US$15-25.
I have summarized the opinions of all customers. Customers hope that our supply price will be stable, at least not change within a year. In addition, they hope that the quality will be improved, the higher the better. "
"Well, some things will have to wait until after this year's autumn trade fair to see how much the export volume is. I told you that Yiwan International has its long-term mission, and its business adjustments must not only depend on profits, but also be beneficial to our long-term layout."
Nan Yi's oil futures have been delivered. He bought at $13.2 and sold at $40.8, making a profit of $27.6 per barrel. He should have recovered more than $210 million, but in fact only $120 million returned to him.
Zhao Shixian sent him a bill, which included handling fees, leverage fees, and trading commissions, which totaled almost 20 million US dollars. Everything else was normal except the handling fees, which Nan Yi couldn't understand. The other 70 million was her personal return, which was considered a great bargain for Nan Yi.
It was indeed a great bargain. Nan Yi only had 8 million Hong Kong dollars in funds and had added margin several times in the middle, all of which were paid for by Zhao Shixian personally. If she hadn't provided the funds, Nan Yi could only watch his account being forcibly liquidated. Not to mention 120 million, he wouldn't be able to get back even a hair.
To be fair, even if Zhao Shixian only gave 10 million US dollars, Nan Yi could accept it calmly.
But no matter what, Nan Yi's wallet was fatter again, and his speech became more high-end and classy. He completed his transformation again and was no longer the person who was eager to issue an order and only wanted to go through FOB instead of letter of credit.
"I understand." Zhao Jinshui nodded and said, "The company's staff will increase, and it is expected that the current office space will be insufficient by the end of this year. Does Green Core have a plan to..."
"We will first overcome it this year and then decide next year based on the situation."
"OK."
Not long after Zhao Jinshui left Nan Yi's office, Chen Ruishi came.
"Nan Yi, I plan to resign."
"Preparing to return to Chengdu?"
"Yes."
"Okay, write a letter of resignation and go through the procedures."
"Won't you keep me here for a while?"
"You're dreaming. If you don't resign, I'm going to find an excuse to fire you." Nan Yi said playfully.
Chen Ruishi pouted, "Boring."
"Then let's do something more exciting. Come here and give me a hug." Nan Yi clapped his hands and said.
It was originally just a joke, but Chen Ruishi actually walked up to Nan Yi, grabbed his hand, pulled him up, and then hugged him.
"Thanks."
"Take care of yourself."
"If you weren't married, maybe I would fall in love with you." Chen Ruishi said faintly.
"Don't make the atmosphere so ambiguous, as if something has happened between us." Nan Yi patted Chen Ruishi on the back and gently released her from his arms. "Remember to send me a wedding invitation. I will bring my wife to attend."
"That's only possible if I find a boyfriend first." Chen Ruishi smiled and said, "I'm blind, who would like me?"
"Haha, you're gonna turn the tables on me. Remember to write a letter."
"good."
After Chen Ruishi left, Nan Yi called Zhao Jinshui over again.
"Estimate the value created by Chen Ruishi."
"The immediate or the long term?"
"For now, there is still a long way to go. She and I are still friends."
Zhao Jinshui pondered for a while and said, "The Chaosi Factory in Wuchuan has created a gross profit of more than 4 million for the company."
"Well, withdraw money from the company account. All taxes have been paid. Chen Ruishi needs to have 1 million in her hands. The formalities must be complete and the name of the payment must be tenable. It will be done today. 20,000 in cash and 980,000 in a passbook."
"OK."
During the afternoon, Nan Yi talked to people intermittently. When the sun and the moon were hanging in the sky and the frogs were croaking, a square table was set up in the corridor and a floor fan was humming with a long cord. Su Meng held two sets of bowls and chopsticks in her hands and a rag holding the inner pot of the rice cooker. Nan Yi bent down and placed the lit mosquito coil on the brick and loosened the ring of the elastic disk to prevent it from burning.
Homemade mosquito coils are made from a mixture of sawdust, hexachlorobenzene, and sulfur, wrapped in white cotton paper, and rolled into a flat circle with a diameter of one centimeter. One coil is about sixty to seventy centimeters long, rolled into a plate, and ten plates are stacked in a pile, costing two cents a stack.
Su Meng put down the rice pot, quickly prepared the rice and placed it next to Nan Yi, then poured herself another bowl.
"Try this dish, hydrangea radish, I just learned how to make it."
Su Meng pointed to a dish on the table. There were a few white meatballs in it, with red and white shredded radish inlaid on the surface and sauce poured on top.
Nan picked up a meatball and asked, "Do you have this dish?"
“It’s not Huaiyang cuisine, it’s Northeastern cuisine.”
"I've heard of the exquisite dishes of Northeastern cuisine, but this southern-style cooking method is fresh." Nan Yi sighed and took a bite of the meatball. "The tofu with egg white and pepper tastes good. The shredded radish ruins the taste a bit. I'll try without it next time."
"Really?" Su Meng also picked up one and tasted it. "The taste is not harmonious. It should be that I don't know the trick. I just heard someone else describe the method. Maybe there is a special processing technology for shredded radish."
"Think about it slowly, and maybe you'll get it right after making it a few more times." Nan Yi pointed to the stir-fried sweet potato vines on the table, "Where did you get this? Is it sold in the vegetable market?"
"You'd better not ask, it will affect your appetite." Su Meng reminded kindly.
"What's wrong with asking? Did you steal it from the pig trough?"
"It didn't go into the pig trough. When I came back from buying vegetables, I saw a family in the village piled up at the door of the pigpen, so I asked for some."
Nan Yi said with a malicious look: "Oh, buy two more pounds of pork tomorrow, one pound for the gift to the man, and one pound for the pig to apologize for eating its vegetarian food, so give it one pound of meat."
“Isn’t it evil to feed pork to pigs?”
"Special love for a special you, special love for a special you, special love for a special..."
Downstairs, a slightly childish voice repeated the lyrics.
Nan Yi poked his head out of the guardrail and shouted downstairs, "Stop it, come up."
After a while, A Guang, wearing only a vest and briefs, stood in front of the small square table and swallowed hard at the food on the table.
"Go get your own bowl."
"Why."
A Guang took the bowl and chopsticks like a gust of wind, and quickly filled a bowl of rice. Without Nan Yi's instructions, he started eating without hesitation.
With two mouthfuls of rice and one bite of vegetable, in less than half a minute, Guang had eaten up the towering hillside on top of the rice bowl and started digging downwards.
"Su Meng, go and order another bowl of noodles."
A Guang is at an age where he can eat as much as his father wants. He can easily eat three or four bowls of rice in one go. Every time Su Meng cooks, there is only a little left, which is not enough to fill A Guang.
Hearing this, Su Meng put down her chopsticks and walked into the kitchen.
After a long time, A Guang finished a bowl of rice, two bowls of noodles, swept the dish clean, and burped twice.
"What trouble did you get into today?"
A Guang has a biological father and a stepmother who is of good character. His family is not poor. Although he is not extremely favored, he has never been abused. Running to Nan Yi at this time could only be because he has caused trouble, and his family has punished him by not allowing him to eat.
"I took the motor out of the tape recorder."
"Huh."
Nan Yi reached out and lifted up A Guang's vest, checked his chest and back, and did not see any long red marks.
"Your father has a good temper. He didn't even hang you on a tree and beat you."
Ah Guang laughed and said, "I run fast."
"You can run away, but you can't. Just pray that your father will calm down quickly, or he will beat you even harder next time." Nan Yi shook his head and pointed inside the house. "Go watch TV and be home before nine o'clock."
"Why."
After A Guang went into the room to watch TV, Su Meng had already cleaned up the dishes. Nan Yi sent her downstairs and watched her get on the tricycle before going back upstairs.
Su Meng's house was renovated in August, and she had moved in a long time ago, but she would cook two meals here when Nan Yi was around.
Su Meng took a car back to her doorstep. As soon as she got off the car, she saw Cheng Hainan standing in front of a big Crown car. He was wearing a gray suit, a tie around his neck, and his face was full of confidence.
"Su Meng, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as he saw Su Meng, Cheng Hainan walked towards her with a bossy step.
Su Meng was not very happy to see Cheng Hainan. Her face was drooping and she looked at the car and Cheng Hainan's clothes with disgust.
"Get in the car, let's go to the dance hall to have fun."
Cheng Hainan didn't notice the expression on Su Meng's face. He put his arm around Su Meng's shoulders and hugged her as they walked towards the car.
Ignite the car, start the engine, Cheng Hainan holds the steering wheel with his left hand, puts his right hand on the gear lever, tilts his head to glance at Su Meng and says, "What does it feel like to sit in this car?"
Su Meng frowned and glanced out the window, "I know nothing about cars."
Cheng Hainan tilted his head to look at Su Meng again, without saying anything, he just gently exerted force with his right foot and increased the speed of the car by a few yards.
When they arrived at the dance hall, Cheng Hainan opened a bottle of Remy Martin XO very generously, and ordered all the snacks he could. When the food was served, he even rewarded the waiter with two big unity cards.
Su Meng saw everything Cheng Hainan did, and she suddenly felt very disappointed with the man in front of her.
"How much is this bottle of wine?"
"Not expensive, just over a thousand."
"More than a thousand, not expensive?" Su Meng bit her lip and said, "Do you know how many people can't make a thousand yuan a year?"
"Su Meng, I have money now, lots and lots of money. I can now tell you openly that I love you and I want to marry you." Cheng Hainan shook his head slightly, exuding confidence.
Hearing the word "money", Su Meng felt sick. She covered her ears and muttered in tears, "Money, money, money. Do you know how many romances and marriages have been ruined by money?"
After saying that, Su Meng picked up her bag that was on the chair and ran straight to the door of the dance hall.
After a moment of surprise, Cheng Hainan immediately chased after him.
But he was stopped by the waiter after just two steps. He had opened a Remy Martin bottle but hadn't paid yet.
When Cheng Hainan finished arguing with the waiter and chased after him, Su Meng was nowhere to be seen.
…
The next day, Su Meng recovered from her upset and bought groceries on the way to work as usual and kept track of the bills.
Arriving at the residence in Longkunxia Village, Su Meng first went into the kitchen to put the meat in the refrigerator, then took the account book to Nan Yi in the corridor and said, "The money for buying vegetables has been used up."
Nan Yi took the account book and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's been several months. You must have paid a lot, right?"
"You didn't have to count the food I ate during the first few months when you were away."
Nan Yi quickly flipped through the account book, "It's been a few months since I last made any records. I'll give you 200 yuan a month for the missing accounts. I have to go to the city government in the morning, and a guest is coming in the afternoon. We should eat out today. I'll give you the money later, and we'll check the account book tomorrow."
Su Meng nodded, "Okay."
Nan Yi handed the account book back to Su Meng, "Your eyes are bloodshot, did you not sleep well last night?"
"One thing, the screen window was not closed properly, and I was woken up by mosquitoes in the middle of the night." Su Meng lied and did not tell Nan Yi the real reason for her insomnia.
"Well, be more careful next time."
The two chatted for a few minutes, one went to work, and the other prepared to wash up and go out.
At 9:30 in the morning, Nan Yi arrived at Duan Wenxuan's office on time.
Compared with Min Jinsheng, the threshold to enter Duan Wenxuan's office is lower. To enter Min Jinsheng's office, one must pass Chu Fan, but to enter Duan Wenxuan's office, one can just go straight in.
He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, gray trousers that were closer to navy blue, a pair of leather sandals with holes, and silk stockings. His face was clean and tidy, his hair was meticulously groomed, and his skin was very white, a rare white among men of this era.
His cloudy eyes were still three points clear. Nan Yi had a good first impression of Duan Wenxuan. He felt that this man was much "cleaner" and more open-minded than himself.
After some greetings, Nan Yi and Duan Wenxuan sat face to face.
"President Nan, in the Dream Town plan you submitted, all the situations were described in great detail, except for one thing: the planned progress. I didn't see a construction schedule in the report. Did you miss it, or did you not make a plan yet?"
Duan Wenxuan did not use the roundabout way of conversation commonly seen in official circles, but went straight to the point, which is consistent with Lai Huri's evaluation of him as a "scholar-official".
"Nothing has been omitted. We have not yet formulated a construction schedule for Dream Town. Mayor Duan, you should have seen in the report that Dream Town was established not too long ago with funds raised by four shareholders: Green Core Development, Temasek, Kushner Companies, and Maker Space.
Last August, I came to Coconut City half for tourism and half for investigation, and found that Qiongdao was about to enter a period of rapid development. It would be a good place to invest, so I stayed and set up my own trading company, earning some pocket money while conducting in-depth investigations here.
During the inspection, I discovered the Qionghang project, which has now been confirmed for investment and the negotiations between Green Core Development and Qionghang are also coming to an end. Also during the inspection, I had a vague plan to build a large industrial park integrating multiple functions, which is the prototype of the Dream Town plan.
An industrial park naturally needs a pillar industry to support it. In order to determine the pillar industry, I took a comprehensive look at the three industries in Hainan Province, and finally decided on an industrial structure with biopharmaceuticals as the core and electronic technology and animation creativity as auxiliary industries.
After that, I invited Huangfu Ming from Buer Pharmaceutical to visit Coconut City, and flew to the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan to visit companies and clubs related to electronic technology and animation entrepreneurship, and negotiated several intentions. Only then did I launch the Dream Town project internally.
After another half year of negotiations, the shareholders finally confirmed the shareholding structure and the Dream Town Company was established.
I am the main initiator and planner of the Dream Town project. In the first two months, I was tied up with other things, so many things were delayed and I had no time to plan the construction progress. "
Duan Wenxuan nodded and said, "When President Huangfu sent the letter, I felt strange. Coconut City is not a concentrated area for medicinal herb cultivation, nor is it a distribution center for medicinal herb. Why would he want to come to Coconut City for inspection? Now that President Nan has said so, I am not surprised anymore.
President Nan, please forgive me for being blunt, but Dream Town hasn't even started construction yet, but you're already doing the work of attracting investment. Isn't this too hasty? Aren't you worried that this project won't start?"
"Mayor Duan, to be honest, I am not too worried about the project not being able to start. Not long ago, I went to Xiaoya Bay and conducted a long investigation there. I walked every inch of the land there with my own feet. I also made a sand table of Xiaoya Bay because of my childishness.
General Manager Ma Yuyu of our company's real estate department stayed there longer, and he has established good personal relationships with several leaders of the Xiaoya Bay Management Committee."
Nan Yi looked into Duan Wenxuan's eyes and talked freely. Nan Yi once confirmed with Ma Mengyu whether Duan Wenxuan knew him, and got an affirmative answer from Ma Mengyu.
"President Nan, I heard that you are from the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination?" Duan Wenxuan asked calmly.
"Yes."
Nan Yi muttered in his heart: "Just now you were getting straight to the point, why are you using roundabout tactics now?"
"What's your major?"
“Political Economy.”
"It was relatively easy to study abroad in 1979 and 1980. Why didn't President Nan consider going abroad?"
"I met my current wife when I was sent to work in the countryside. Although we went to the same high school before, we had never met. We were attracted to each other on the ridges of the fields in the countryside, and soon developed from strangers to lovers. If the college entrance examination had not been resumed, she and I might have married quickly and settled down in the countryside."
Nan Yi smiled with a hint of reminiscence on his face, "To be honest with Mayor Duan, ever since I went to the suburban rural areas to support agriculture in primary school, I found that I had a talent for being a farmer. Whether it was carrying things on my shoulders or by hand, harvesting rice, transplanting rice seedlings, or planting wheat, I was an expert at it. When I was in the production team, I always got full work points during the busy farming season."
The former Nanyi did have experience in supporting agriculture. In the 1960s and 1970s, all urban schools were required to go to nearby rural areas to support agriculture. However, that was formalism and purely counterproductive. They might even have been asking for money, and few people could really do the work.
In the words of the farmers, the Japs are about to come to the countryside to carry out a sweep again.
Just like Liu Zhen, apart from the common farm tools such as sickles, hoes and shoulder poles which are written in textbooks, he didn't know many other farm tools at all. Otherwise, Nan Yi would not have taught him step by step on the first day of work in Wenchangwei.
The former Nan Yi was a surprise, he could really do some work, but Nan Yi's agricultural skills were mainly brought from his previous life. There were very few rural children born before 1985 who could not do farm work. Either they were born with deficiencies like Xian Weiqi, or their parents had far-sightedness and planned to let their children escape from farming since they were young.
"Later, we both got into college. Although we were not the only child in the family, one person had to stay to take care of the two families. It just so happened that my grades were not as good as my wife's, so we discussed it and decided that she would try to go abroad and I would stay."
Nan Yi didn't know whether Duan Wenxuan was going to talk about the economic problems in Coconut City next, or bring out Liu Zhen and then move on from this point. He simply brought Liu Zhen out first, thinking of speeding up the pace of getting to the point, so as to prevent Duan Wenxuan from rambling on and then suddenly bringing up the main topic.
“President Nan, where does your wife work?”
"Universe Bank."
"In the capital?"
"I have been transferred to Shanghai for more than two years."
“…”
After talking about this and that for a while, Duan Wenxuan finally got to the point, "President Nan, what do you think of the development of Qiong Province?"
“Mayor Duan, I can foresee that large-scale development of Hainan Province is coming soon, and large-scale development will inevitably lead to a real estate boom. There are already ready-made cases to study in foreign countries, such as the westward movement in the United States and the construction of Silicon Valley.
It is inevitable that bubbles will appear in any country or region during the process of rapid economic development. Frankly speaking, I am looking forward to the arrival of the real estate bubble in Coconut City.
Around the Coconut Tree Building, we will build several residential communities in Dream Town. Once the real estate boom arrives, we will fine-tune our plan and sell off the residential communities we have in exchange for more funds to invest in the construction of Dream Town. "
"Oh? Isn't President Nan planning to sell off the entire Dream Town during the real estate boom?"
