"Tell me, what are you doing in Coconut City?" After hugging each other, the two sat opposite each other. Nan Yi took out two boxes of cigars from his bag and put them on the table. "Trinidad, Cuba uses it as a state gift to foreign guests. It's not available on the market and it's hard to get. Take it for photo."
"Can this thing be more useful than a panda?"
"That depends on who you're dealing with. There are many people who can get pandas, but why don't you let them try to get this thing?" Nan Yi tapped his finger on the cigar box.
"Well, you are so straightforward, Lao Nan. I won't be polite." Li Jin put the two boxes of cigars aside, picked up the cigarette box and shook it, then shook out a cigarette and lit it for himself. "Lao Nan, you came here to seek refuge with me, and by the way, I want to see if there are any opportunities here."
"The vice president is quitting?"
"I quit doing this. It's boring." Li Jin said a little unhappily.
"Where are the dozens of vehicles in the transport team?"
Back then, Li Jin set up a transport team under the name given by Nan Yi. The latest news Nan Yi had received was that it had expanded to more than 30 vehicles.
"I transferred it to someone else. I gave him 260 for the car and the business. Adding the profit from the previous two years, it's 350 in total. When I came here, the old man told me not to go to the bank. I'll just take the big coins in my hand and go back if they fail."
"350 is not a small number. I'll keep 30 for construction and the remaining 320 for buying land. After buying the land, I'll go home. Coconut City is a colorful world, fascinating."
Li Jin took out the cigarette from his mouth and twisted it in the ashtray. "I can't go back. The old man told me not to stay in Beijing for the time being."
"the fat is in the fire?"
Li Jin waved his hand and said, "No , don't ask me about it. Lao Nan, is there anything fun in Coconut City?"
"Asking me is like asking a blind man for directions. As for entertainment, I've only been to the dance hall downstairs. After dinner, go down and take a look yourself."
"You're not accompanying me?"
"What? I'm busy right now. Just go ahead and have fun until I'm free."
"Chengchengcheng, I know you are a busy person, just go and do your thing."
Nan Yi was not trying to evade Li Jin, he really had something to do, so he boarded the ferry the next day, got off at Shencun on the way, and arrived at Xiangkeng before it was too late that day.
Ruan Mei, who had received news in advance that Nan Yi would come to her place, went to a special clothing store in the afternoon and bought a black top and white bottom middle school uniform. When she thought the time was about right, she came to the gate of the yard, leaned against the wall, and looked towards the intersection.
When there were more than one light at the intersection, Ruan Mei put the cigarette in her mouth, lit it with a lighter, took a puff, and immediately choked.
Not daring to smoke anymore, Ruan Mei just held the cigarette in her mouth, leaning against the wall and becoming lazy.
After Nan Yi got off the car, he saw Ruan Mei standing by the courtyard gate. The cigarette in her mouth and the clothes on her body told him what opera Ruan Mei was singing. He smiled knowingly and walked towards her.
"Sir, this is a student girl."
When Nan Yi came closer, Ruan Mei, who was leaning on someone, stood up and walked towards Nan Yi with graceful steps.
"How much is it?"
Ruan Mei leaned close to Nan Yi's ear, blew a breath of hot air, and then said teasingly: "Sanjiu (Sanjiu water, three hundred yuan)."
"Do you have an ID?"
Ruan Mei put her hands on Nan Yi's shoulders, shook her body and said, "No, I'm in junior high school."
"You're underage, I like you." Nan Yi laughed, then turned serious again and said to Ruan Mei righteously, "I'm Nan Yi, a senior inspector of the anti-pornography team of the Hong Kong Royal Police. Little sister, you have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court."
"Hahaha." Ruan Mei laughed three times. "Anti-pornography team? The serious crime team doesn't even have the qualifications to pull me in. Call the political department instead."
"Why did you change the channel again?"
"You changed it first. Let's go. Don't waste time. I have another business to do."
"Hahaha, no need. You just need to receive one guest from me today." Nan Yi picked up Ruan Mei, kicked open the gate, and went straight to the second floor.
They played like crazy, completely crazy, and Nan Yi almost sent Ruan Mei to the anorectal department by accident.
The next day, Ruan Mei was lying on the bed. Nan Yi, feeling refreshed, did some morning exercises, then found a tea restaurant and had meal A. Feeling a little hungry, he ordered meal B as well. After his stomach was full, he quickly went to Chai Wan.
As soon as they arrived at the office of the Information and Strategy Committee, a video conference was held immediately. Those who attended the meeting included Scarlett, Liang Huiwen, Nan Yi, and Chen Huixian.
Chen Huixian, a Chinese from Delnan, had ancestors who were recruited to work in the sugarcane plantations of Delnan in 1853. After the expiration of their contract, they did not leave Delnan and return to their home country, but instead took root there, generation after generation, and by the time of Chen Huixian, the family had grown to the fifth generation.
The Chen family is considered middle class in the local area and owns several small supermarkets transformed from grocery stores. However, the local chaos made Chen Huixian's more open-minded father think of sending him abroad to study.
Chen Huixian spent half of his elementary school life in Delnan, and was then sent to the Netherlands by his father. He spent most of his life in the Netherlands. Seven years ago, he was recruited by the Nan family and joined the Oil & Minerals Group.
After the Delnan Plan was launched, Chen Huixian was noticed by Nan Yi because his background was very consistent with the plan, so he was selected to take the lead in establishing an identity group and served as the team leader. He also served as the president of the Nanerde Group, the shell of the identity group.
"Boss, Madam, Vice Chairman, there are 885,600 mu of arable land in Delnan, half of which is used to grow rice. Currently, our group's Nanerde Agriculture has acquired 4,500 mu of arable land, all of which are rice fields. The average cost per mu is 300 Delnan guilders, equivalent to 20 US dollars, for a total cost of 1.35 million Delnan guilders.
There are a total of 155,800 square kilometers of forest in Dernan. Currently, Nander Forestry has purchased 12 forests, totaling 3,000 square kilometers, at a total cost of 4.5 million Dernan shields.
Boss, it will be difficult to acquire further arable land. 70% of the remaining land in Delnan is in the hands of farmers, and 30% is concentrated in five large farms, four of which are controlled by Indians and one by Chinese. "
Chen Huixian stopped talking here and waited for Nan Yi's opinion.
Nan Yi stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Among the population of Delnan, more than 500,000, 33% are of Indian descent, 31% are Mesoles (white people born in Delnan in the 16th-18th centuries whose parents are Spanish or Portuguese), 15% are Indonesians, 4% are Indians, 3% are Chinese, and the rest are other people of color.
There have been two coups d'état after Delnan gained independence. During the turbulent period, traditional business families either died out or rose to prominence and extended a hand into the political sphere. Currently, there are no pure business families in Delnan. Those with larger businesses span both the political and economic circles and can be called political and business families.
Among the political and business families that emerged during the turbulent period, most are of Indian descent, and a small number are of Chinese descent. Eighty percent of the political discourse in Delnan is in the hands of these two ethnic groups, and the ratio of discourse power between Indians and Chinese is about 8 to 2, which means that Indians firmly control the discourse power in Delnan.
"Scarlett, what do you think?"
Scarlett: "Chen, are the different ethnic groups friendly to each other?"
Chen Huixian: "The relationship is relatively bland, unfriendly, and not too contentious. Only in certain situations will the Chinese be treated hostilely by other ethnic groups, because most of the Chinese have not been here for long. To other ethnic groups, the Chinese are considered outsiders and latecomers. Moreover, the Chinese are too hardworking, in stark contrast to the laziness of other ethnic groups."
Scarlett: "Adam, do you want to send a Che Guevara to Delnan?"
Nan Yi: "Not very good. We have always been engaged in economics. We are not professional in revolution. Guns can only be used for self-defense. Currency is our main weapon output. Huixian, since it is not convenient to continue to annex arable land, let it go. Use your energy to build up your network first."
Chen Huixian: “Understood.”
Nan Yi: "Scarlett, contact Alcoa and propose to them a full acquisition of Delnan Aluminum's shares."
Scarlett: "You can consider acquiring Alcoa. It is estimated that the acquisition can be completed within 10 billion US dollars."
Nan Yi: "What's the time?"
Scarlett: "It's unpredictable. It will take a long negotiation process, three years, maybe more than five years."
Nan Yi frowned and said, "Scarlett, don't mention unrealistic plans."
Alcoa is a company that focuses on the aluminum industry. It is large enough to influence the U.S. energy strategy. It is not impossible to acquire it, but once it is acquired, Nan Yi will be put on the fire.
Scarlett: "OK, I will contact you, Chen, please introduce the gold mine to me."
Chen Huixian: "Okay, ma'am, regarding the gold mine, only the Malaka gold mine has the possibility of acquisition. Its reserves are about 1,200 tons. This number can only be used as a reference. The situation of the Delnan gold mine vein is more complicated, and it is difficult to make a correct assessment of the reserves."
Liang Huiwen: "President Chen, the gold mine veins in Delnan are quite extensive, right?"
Chen Huixian: "Yes, Vice Chairman."
Liang Huiwen: "But as far as I know, there are not many large gold mines in Delnan. On the contrary, many people from other South American countries are engaged in gold mining in Delnan."
Chen Huixian: "Yes, there are indeed many South Americans panning for gold in Delnan. There is a rule in the gold panning industry in Delnan that a piece of mountain land can be allocated to the owner of the mountain land as a mining area for mining, but one-tenth of the mined gold must be paid to the owner of the mountain land as rent. These mountains are often located in areas that are not convenient for mechanized mining or have high mining costs."
Nan Yi: "How high?"
Chen Huixian: “So high that it’s a loss.”
Nan Yi: "Gold-mining slaves?"
Chen Huixian: "No, the personal freedom of gold miners will not be restricted. It's just that the mountain owners will develop many money-making businesses, such as basic food, bars, housing, gold mining tools, brothels, casinos, gold recycling, etc. Even if gold miners find gold, they usually cannot take the money out of the mining area."
Nan Yi: "Not a bad business model, or you can learn from it, Scarlett, you can export your betel nut beauties to Delnan."
Scarlett: "It's not mine, it's Nan's."
Nan Yi: "Wow, I said the wrong thing. So, send an exploration team to Delnan to investigate the mineral veins there. I don't think it's a good idea to mine gold in Delnan. Buying some mountain land to attract people to mine gold is a good business. Let's do some research first. Huixian, did you hear me?"
Chen Huixian: "Boss, I will submit the report as soon as possible."
Nan Yi: "Huixian, you go offline first. Huiwen, you go out first."
After Chen Huixian logged off and Liang Huiwen walked out of the office, Nan Yi said to Scarlett: "After the acquisition, Delnan Aluminum Company will remain independent from the Nanerde Group. The funds needed for the expansion of the Nanerde Group will not be directly allocated from the Nan Group."
"Go underground, or transport a few tons of gold?"
"Neither. Expand new secret sources of income. Last night, God suddenly gave me a clue. He told me that during the Crusades, a strange thing was discovered on the Indonesian island of Kalimantan. There were sparkling yellow particles in the river in a place called Busang on the island.
After careful testing, those yellow particles are all gold.
The story of the Crusaders finding gold in the river spread, and everyone believed that there was a gold mine under the ground of Kalimantan. However, Kalimantan is the third largest island in the world, with a vast area and most of it covered by dense forests, and few people have ever been there.
Therefore, even if people believe that there is gold under Kalimantan, no one is willing to take the risk of looking for a needle in a haystack to mine it. After all, if you can’t find the gold or find the wrong location, it will be very distressing. "
"Adam, please get to the point. I've heard the story about gold in Borneo. The protagonist of the story is a missionary, not some crappy Crusaders." Scarlett spat.
Nan Yi shook his head at Scarlett's rudeness. "The main point is that a lucky person will find a gold mine in Kalimantan. A big gold mine, 1,500 tons or 5,100 tons, no matter how much, it doesn't matter."
"OK, Adam, I understand what you mean. I'll have someone go to the market to screen for a suitable listed mining company. I wonder who will be the lucky winner."
After sleeping for a long time, they will naturally look a bit like a couple. Not only will their looks begin to change in one direction, but Scarlett can also easily capture Nan Yi's thoughts - buy shares of a mining company, cooperate with a local military force in Indonesia, discover fake gold mines, raise the stock price, cash out at a high price, and let the Indonesian partners retain participants and insiders to live in the local beautiful scenery and green mountains for a hundred years.
"Tell me after you've screened them out. You don't need to get involved in this matter."
"OK."
"That's it, go to bed early."
Nan Yi had watched a movie called "Gold Mine" in his previous life. At the beginning of the movie, there were the words "based on true events". Unfortunately, he did not pursue the story behind the movie and did not know who the real protagonist was.
However, up to now, he has not seen or heard of anything like the plot in the film happening, which means that the "incident" has not happened yet, or is in the early . It doesn't matter as long as it doesn't finally explode.
The same model can only be operated once and it will not work again. Since "events" will always happen and investors will always lose money, why not make a slight change and make yourself the beneficiary?
Nan Yi firmly believed that the money would be more meaningful when it was in his hands, because he always had an understanding that the wealth belonged to all living things in the entire universe, and he and the Nan family were only responsible for keeping it temporarily, and they would have to return it sooner or later.
Because of this, money that understands justice and shame should automatically run to Nan Yi's arms. Born for money, you should live a good life in your short life. Living well means doing meaningful things. Living for Nan Yi is both meaningful and glorious.
