"Yes."
“Why not include it in Nan’s luxury strategy?”
Nan Yi waved his hand, "No, Xiongqi and Southme will be placed under the Snow Mountain Trust, so I can give you little ones some extra pocket money."
"Hehe, godmother is not a little one."
"Well, she is an exception, the only one with a different surname." Nan Yi nodded: "This is the rough idea, and the rest will be detailed by the people below. You love sports, Wuwei does too, and your sister in London is also active. Nanji Investment will set up an office in New York this year and invest in several high-end sports equipment brands.
I like bicycles, so I'll start with them. I'll also consider Lightning and Esworth."
"Dad, these companies don't make much money. How much dividend can they get in a year?" Nan Ruoyin pouted.
"There are many profitable projects. We will consider them later. Let's focus on playing now. I can't spare the time this year. I will be busy with Russia first. Next year, I will take care of Nanji Petrochemical's affairs first depending on the situation. I plan to hand over Nanji Investment to you. I will wait until you graduate before making any efforts."
"Oh, Dad, are you sleeping here today?"
"Where is your camping gear? I'll take it to the top of the mountain later. We'll camp at the top of the mountain today."
"Okay."
After Nan Ruoyin stayed here for a night, Nan Yi returned to New York. During the day, he stayed at the Qidian Orphanage to interact with his adopted children, and also dealt with the official business of the Nan family, new plans, new budgets, and many other tedious matters.
One day, Daniel Nan, who was studying in Massachusetts, returned to Qidian Orphanage to talk to Nan Yi.
Daniel Nan was born in 1973. Before being adopted by Qidian Orphanage, Daniel had been wandering outside for three years. Earlier, he lived in St. Joseph Catholic Orphanage in Burlington, Vermont, where he had some bad memories.
It was the spring of 1979. Daniel, who was only six years old, ran to the police station and told the police that when he was playing near the courtyard, he heard the sound of glass breaking, saw a boy breaking out of the window, and the nun was standing behind the window.
The nun also saw him, walked up to him and grabbed his ear and warned: "What you saw is just your imagination."
The police were dispatched and brought the nun to court despite insufficient evidence, but the orphanage hired a good lawyer and ultimately the court dismissed the case, and the matter was left unresolved.
It is conceivable that after this incident, Daniel, who lived in an orphanage, would definitely not have a good ending. The cunning Daniel thought about it. On the day of his final court appearance, Daniel wanted to escape, but was still caught by the people in the orphanage.
After being brought back to the orphanage, he was tortured to death. He experienced all kinds of bloody, disgusting and hateful tortures. After being tortured for a whole month, Daniel, covered in bruises, finally ran away from the orphanage.
"Father , I want to drop out of school." Daniel followed Nan Yi to the small hill in the backyard of Qidian Orphanage, and said to Nan Yi after they stopped.
Nan Yi said calmly, "Reason."
“I want to start a business.”
"Steve Jobs dropped out because he didn't like his major and realized that the tuition was too expensive; Bill Gates dropped out because he was heartbroken and didn't want to be a lawyer. You are very lucky. You have two role models who dropped out and started a successful business. So you also dropped out to start a business in your sophomore year, fearing that you will be late compared to your idol?"
Looking at Daniel, Nan Yi said with a hint of thorns: "Don't forget, Jobs dropped out of school just because he didn't want to pay tuition and didn't like the major. After dropping out, he still stayed in school as a knowledge thief, not paying but staying there to listen to the classes he liked.
Let's talk about Bill Gates. Let's not talk about his family background for now. He solved a difficult math problem when he was a sophomore and published a high-quality SCI paper. What about you? What achievements have you made?"
Daniel shrugged. “I haven’t published any SCI papers. I only got a full scholarship, but I’m no worse than Bill Gates.”
"You are quite confident." Nan Yi clapped his hands, "OK, confident boy, give me a strong reason why you should start a business now, such as there is a huge opportunity in front of you now, and you will miss this opportunity if you don't start a business now."
"No." Daniel spread his hands and said, "Father, I just feel that I can no longer learn the knowledge that I am interested in in school."
“So, what do you want to learn from starting a business?”
“Learn to create wealth.”
"Hmm, you are interested in computers and your talent lies in computers, so the career you want to start is also in the computer field?"
"Yes."
Nan Yi asked: "Computing chip? Display chip? Graphics software? Industrial software? Or games?"
"Father, do you know game engines?"
"Go on." Nan Yi nodded.
"Father, I've noticed that competition in the gaming industry is getting more and more intense, and game manufacturers are releasing games at a faster pace. I've analyzed all the new games released on the market last year, and I've finally come to a conclusion: games from the same manufacturer have a lot of duplicated materials, and a lot of underlying logic codes are interoperable. This is the concept of application engines.
Last year, ATI launched a new graphics card for Microsoft's Windows operating system. Different from the previous single-chip design, this graphics card not only has a 2D display processing core, but also has a Mach8 coprocessor on board for graphics acceleration.
Now we have graphics acceleration, and later we will have video acceleration. Now we can handle 2D display, and later we will have 3D. In the future, the game images will become clearer and clearer, and the workload will also increase, but there will be a lot of repetitive work. What needs to be done for game A will be repeated for game B..."
Nan Yi: "So, you want to make a game engine and make these repetitive tasks into a library so that game development engineers can use them?"
Daniel's eyes sparkled. "Not only that, I want to work on the underlying logic of the game, making game development foolproof. There will be no need to edit the code or only a small amount of code to edit during the game development process."
Nan Yi nodded: "I understand what you mean. I agree that you can develop the game engine, but you will not carry out this project as a developer, but as an investor.
If a game can be developed in a fool-proof manner using your game engine, it must be a garbage game. The second and third games will also be garbage. Except for the appearance of the game characters, the core of the game is the same, and perhaps the loopholes will be the same.
If you want to make a beautiful game, most of the materials and the underlying logic you mentioned should be unique, and your game engine can only play a very limited role. Even if game manufacturers use your engine, they will modify it based on yours and tune your engine to what they need.
Therefore, good game manufacturers will only regard your engine as an auxiliary, perhaps an unnecessary auxiliary; only those junk game manufacturers who have no feelings, do not care whether the game is exquisite, and only want to make money with the game will become your loyal customers.
Such manufacturers may be successful. Playability is only one aspect of whether a game will be popular. There are many other factors that will lead to its popularity, such as being adapted from a comic book with a large number of readers.
To sum up, a game engine is not a good project for you."
Nan Yi took a step forward, put his arm around Daniel's shoulders, and patted him on the shoulder. "Some people can only adapt to this world, while others can change the world. The game engine cannot change the game world. It can only adapt to the needs of game manufacturers. The initial positioning of the game engine destined its achievements to be very limited.
A few years ago, maybe eight or nine years ago, I attended a public lecture at Columbia University about the Internet. There I heard Columbia University students’ visions of the future of the Internet. If their visions could be realized, they would be enough to change people’s lifestyles.
Nan Yi patted Daniel's chest again, and then placed his palm on Daniel's heart. "Look further ahead, be more ambitious, and use technology to change the world. Reflect on the fact that you can no longer learn the knowledge you want to learn in school. Is it true that you can't learn it, or is it that something has covered your eyes?"
"Father, I need to think carefully about what you said." Daniel said thoughtfully.
"You can go back and think about it slowly. Now, tell me, how many girlfriends have you had?" Nan Yi lowered his voice and asked in a slightly obscene tone, "You are the main player of the football team, there must be a lot of girls who like you."
"Father, I'm in Massachusetts, not Florida."
"Not one?"
"have."
"Communicate, communicate."
With the pure idea of ​​understanding the psychological dynamics of current college students, Nan Yi and Daniel had a good exchange of experiences on "making a girlfriend". After the exchange, Nan Yi found that the youth idol drama "American Pie" he had watched was quite realistic.
During Nan Yi's stay in New York, Fan Hongdou would go to Scarlett Manor after school, have dinner and stay overnight at the manor. Occasionally, Nan Ruoyin would also fly over.
In order to facilitate travel, Scarlett gave Nan Ruoyin and Fan Hongdou a helicopter each. The helicopter is usually parked on the helipad of the manor, and the two can use it at any time when needed.
During the twenty days, Nan Yi also pondered when to implement the second batch of adopted children plan. At present, although it has not yet entered the payback period, the training of the first batch of adopted children is quite successful. It can be foreseen that they will shine and the adopted children model can be implemented for a long time.
Giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance on your hands. Not only can you get a good reward, but you can also do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Why not do it?
After New York, Nan Yifei went to Tokyo. During the five days, he took care of maintaining the relationship between Sayuri Hagiwara and Minami Ieyasu, and also went to Osaka to inspect the work of serving the country's agricultural machinery.
At the end of April, Nan Yi flew to Seoul in a hurry. He had two meals with Nan Jiajun and didn't talk about work at all. Then he hurriedly flew to Mumbai.
South Korea will be one of the key areas of attack for the Nan family next. In the near future, Nan Yi will stay in Seoul for a long time, so there is nothing wrong with being in a hurry this time.
…
Nan Yi arrived in Mumbai late at night. He did not notify anyone else but only informed Puran to pick him up at the airport.
After getting in the car, Nan Yi turned his head and looked out the window to see if there were any changes in Mumbai. Except for the expansion of the slums near the airport, there were no changes on the streets. After looking for a while, Nan Yi turned back to look at Puran and asked, "Is there anything special to report?"
"Everything is normal, except that Ms. Sharma has changed her bedroom. She is now living in your bedroom, Boss."
"Well, that's nothing. Where are the servants?"
"It's not a big problem. I fired a few people. There were some problems with the two servants that Pabu Vaze sent to serve young Madam Aija."
"That's normal. As long as their behavior isn't too extreme, just pretend you didn't see it. If they cross the line, pick one at random and do something to them. Try to be more covert, and it'd be best if it's an accident. As long as they don't get maimed or killed, I can explain it to Pabu."
"clear."
After the brief exchange, Nan Yi looked out the window again.
The temperature in Mumbai in April is already very high. The air conditioner in the car is turned on, but I can still feel a little stuffy. The high air pressure seems to be pressing directly on the roof of the car, opening a gap in the window, and the smell of Mumbai immediately fills the car.
The sweet smell of hope, which is the opposite of hatred, is an intoxicating smell; the sour smell of greed, which is the opposite of fraternity, is a breathtaking smell; here there are gods, demons, ancient empires, resurrection, civilization and corruption; here you can smell the colorful sea water mixed with the cold metallic smell of machines.
Sixty million animals live here, foraging for food, sleeping, and there is a smell of excrement. The majority are humans and rats. Humans are thin, while rats are fat.
The smell is filled with heartbreak, the hardship of survival, and the mottled and prosperous atmosphere that inspires courage. It is the smell of 20,000 restaurants, 7,000 temples, shrines, churches, and mosques. It is the smell of hundreds of markets specializing in perfumes, spices, incense, and flowers.
This was the worst smell in the world that Nan Yi had not smelled for a while. It had a thousand pairs of legs and would crawl deep into the sphenoid sinus without the need to twitch its nose.
When he arrived at Peacock Villa, Nan Yi went straight to the private bathroom on the second floor. The word "private" should be outdated. There were some more women's things in the bathroom. There was also a razor on the washstand with a bent hair stuck in the gap.
Nan Yi waited for the school belle and the fairy to check before entering the bathroom. He went straight to the sink and threw the razor on it into the trash can, washed his hands, took a quick shower, and then walked into his bedroom.
On the bed in the bedroom, a woman was lying on her back with a thin quilt in her arms. Nan Yi walked to the closet, took out a new thin quilt, went to the bed, took a pillow, and occupied a corner of the bed.
The bed is very big, 4 meters by 3 meters, and you don’t have to worry about not being able to sleep two people whether sleeping vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
Lie down and fall asleep.
When he opened his eyes, it was daylight and Nan Yi saw an octopus tightly wrapped around him.
Pa, pa. He slapped Priyanka on the buttocks twice but there was no response. Nan Yi pulled out the other hand that was pressed down, pinched her nose with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand. In less than fifteen seconds, Priyanka shook her head and struggled.
"I want to get up." Nan Yi said, staring at the other person's blurry eyes.
"ah?"
Park Yanka was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked around, then stared at Nan Yi for two or three seconds, then she realized something, and quickly sat up and got out of bed, hurriedly put on her clothes, trotted to the closet, took out a set of sportswear, trotted back to the bed, helped Nan Yi put on his clothes, and then ran to the bathroom before Nan Yi.
Nan Yi walked out of the bedroom barefoot and came to the corridor outside. Tianxian, who was meeting him, nodded slightly at him. Nan Yi nodded back and whispered the word "bedroom". Then he brushed past Tianxian and walked to the bathroom door. He lifted his foot and looked at the sole of his foot. There was a little dust on his toes and base of the foot.
After looking at it, Nan Yi walked into the bathroom without paying much attention. Priyanka was standing quietly beside the washbasin. On the washbasin, a toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed on it was placed on the toothbrush holder. There was also a copper washbasin next to it, and a folded towel was hanging at the mouth of the basin.
Walking to the washbasin, Nan Yi picked up the toothbrush and put it in his mouth. Three minutes later, when he finished brushing his teeth and was about to spit out the toothpaste foam, Priyanka picked up a small basin and placed it in a very comfortable position for Nan Yi.
Glancing at the small copper basin, Nan Yi spit the toothpaste foam into it. Pu Yanka put the small copper basin aside, then picked up the toothbrush holder and brought it to Nan Yi's mouth...
During the washing process, Nan Yi was like a disabled person, and all the steps that could be done were done by Priyanka. Although he was not used to it, Nan Yi did not persuade Priyanka to leave, but enjoyed her service with peace of mind.
Walking out of the manor and coming to the Peacock Lake, Nan Yi recalled his previous morning exercise route here and deliberately changed to a new route for morning jogging. Halfway through the run, a small figure came up to him and jogged with him, shoulder to shoulder and elbow to elbow.
Nan Yi took a quick look and found that it was Nan Jiawu. "Do you usually get up at this time?"
"yes."
"You are still young, so get more sleep and exercise in the evening."
"Um."
Nan Jiawu, that is, New Year's Day. Although he is very young, he is quite worried and seems a little cold.
Nan Yi continued to run at his own pace, even if Nan Jiawu was struggling to keep up, Nan Yi still maintained a normal speed. Nan Jiawu had been tested and found that he had a relatively developed motor nerve and was very athletic, so at the start, he was given scientific training in this area, and he knew when he should stop running.
Nan Yi has always had complicated feelings towards Nan Jiawu. When Nan Jiawu was abandoned at the gate of the old villa, it was obvious that his father or mother or someone else did not abandon him randomly, but selected and identified Nan Yi or Liu Zhen before abandoning him at their door.
This made Nan Yi feel unsure. Should he find a good family that would not let the child suffer and that could also treat the child's cleft lip? Or should he wait until the child grew up and was well-mannered before taking him back?
No matter which one it was, it made Nan Yi feel a little uncomfortable. It was obvious that he was being plotted against. How could he feel comfortable?
After finishing the morning exercise at the established rhythm, Priyanka helped Nan Yi wash up again, and the place changed from the bathroom to the Phoenix Rising in the center of the villa. The washing process was a little charming, which could only be known to heaven and earth, not to others, and certainly not to be written down.
Since leaving New York, Nan Yi has had two more people around him: Mei Zhengyi, a chef who was discovered in the Peace Dove system. His cooking skills can only be described as very average, and Nan Yi's cooking skills can crush him, but he is safe to use and his skills in making breakfast are not bad;
Gao Wangzhong, a former member of the medical support team, is not the most skilled doctor, but he is young, likes to exercise, and can handle running around with Nan Yi.
After washing up, they had breakfast by the Peacock Lake. The three of them, Nan Yi, Nan Jiawu, and Aiga Waze, had half a tray of steamed buns, eight fried dough sticks, some pickled vegetables, a bowl of porridge, a bowl of soy milk, and eight boiled eggs.
There was no need for Nan Yi to do it himself. Under his guidance, Priyanka peeled her two eggs, broke them into two halves and placed them in the porridge bowl, drizzled a little soy sauce on them, and placed half a piece of fermented bean curd next to the eggs.
Take a mouthful of porridge, pick up some fermented bean curd, chew a piece of fried dough stick, dip the bun in vinegar, bite off one third of it, take another mouthful of porridge, and pick up three bites of pickled vegetables. Follow these steps to eat, it's delicious.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, I picked up the ice soy milk and gulped it down in one breath. This breakfast is really enjoyable.
As soon as Nan Yi put down his chopsticks, Aiga Vaze immediately put down the fork in her hand and sat up straight; Priyanka, who had been standing by the table, immediately came over with mouthwash and helped Nan Yi rinse his mouth.
After rinsing his mouth, Nan Yi said to Aiga Waze affectionately: "Aiga, there are not many rules here. You can eat at your own pace in the future and don't worry about me."
Although Nan Yi did not come to Mumbai last year, Scarlett did, attended the wedding of Aiga Vaze and a cow, and arranged a marriage between Nan Jiawu and Aiga Vaze with Pabu Vaze's family. There was no ceremony, but the two families exchanged engagement tokens.
After all, engagement is just a form of alliance between two parties. The ceremony is not important. As long as the relationship and identity of both parties have undergone a fundamental change, the purpose is achieved.
Aija Waze saluted Nan Yi and said, "Yes, Dad."
"You guys continue eating, I will take you to school later. Priyanka, you can eat too."
The reason why there is such a big change between Priyanka now and before is that her identity has changed. She is now Nan Yi's concubine, and Nan Yi is her younger husband. Above Nan Yi is an elder brother (elder husband), a beautiful Bodhi tree.
It just so happens that the young husband treats the young wife well, and neither of them suffers.
In India, the status of women is not high to begin with, and they have even less status in front of their husbands after marriage, regardless of whether they are of low caste or high caste. It's just that high castes are generally wealthier, with more disposable wealth and servants, so they still look very glamorous, while low castes are miserable.
One has to pay a dowry when getting married. If the dowry is too meager, the husband's family will boycott it. After getting married, washing clothes and cooking are the most basic chores. Women in rural areas have to work in the fields, while women in cities have to work to earn money and also serve their husbands like maids.
In order to show her loyalty to her husband, she has to perform the "foot washing water drinking ceremony" every day. She uses a vessel to pour water on her husband's feet, and the woman catches the foot washing water under his feet with one hand and then drinks it.
Beating or scolding, treating wives like slaves, and even selling them at any time are quite extreme. The proportion is not very high, but it is certain that the status of women in their husband's family is rarely high.
In the morning, Nan Yi woke up Priyanka before getting up, just to abide by the rule in Mumbai that the wife cannot get up later than the husband. The subsequent series of actions were all spontaneous by Priyanka. Nan Yi would not say anything about her doing this, as it was a good opportunity to set rules for this love-brained girl.
To be honest, Nan Yi really didn't expect Sonu Sharma to force his daughter on him. He thought that Sonu would take her away once the storm was over. It seems that Sonu's love for Priyanka is not very deep. In the face of interests, his precious daughter immediately becomes nothing.
After Nan Jiawu and Ai Jia finished their breakfast, Nan Yi took them to his car and sent them to the Mumbai International School, a prestigious school with primary, middle and high schools and a student success rate of over 99%. The screening for applicants is very strict, and generally only children from families that will not fail for decades are eligible to attend.
It is obvious that as long as the parents are not defeated, their children will definitely become successful, and the success rate will naturally not be low.
After seeing them off, Nan Yi and his party immediately went to Jiaoboti Beach.
On a beach where the sand is a bit ugly, a man and a dog are sitting on the sand that has just been visited by the sea.
Nan Yi got out of the car and approached the man and the dog. As he got closer, he slowly saw the dog's appearance - it looked like a dog from a distance, but like a pig from up close. Except for a row of yellow hair on its head, its whole body was clean. When the dog's face was facing Nan Yi, he almost couldn't help humming, "The king asked me to patrol the mountains." This dog looks too much like Xiao Zhuan Feng.
"Acha."
"BOSS."
"Crowned or Mexican Hairless?"
"Boss, it has hair on its head."
"Oh, a crested dog." Nan Yi suddenly realized, "Your dog should be considered ugly even among crested dogs."
The Crested Dog has the most peculiar appearance among all dogs, without a doubt, and because it is ugly, there are several theories about its origin, some say China, some say Turkey, and some say other countries, but no one has ever come forward to admit that this is their country's breed.
The United States has just started holding a competition for the ugliest dog breed in the past two years. A crested dog won the first championship. There is also a crested dog raised by Nan Youqiong at Scarlett Manor, but it is slightly different from the one in front of us. Nan Youqiong's crested dog has very long hair all over its body, covering its ugly face.
"Boss, Lily is a lady." Acha said while hugging the crested dog.
"Oh, well, I shouldn't have said that a lady is ugly." Nan Yi shrugged to apologize, and spread his hands and said, "Let Ms. Lily go and play by herself for a while."
Upon hearing this, Ah Chai stroked Lily's forehead, whispered a few words to her, and then patted the dog's back. Lily immediately ran away for a distance and played in the sand by herself.
"I have developed several subordinates in the Dharavi slums and the Dabbawala. I can now receive news quickly about what is happening in Mumbai." After staring at Lily for a while, Acha turned around and said to Nan Yi.
"Very good, you've worked hard." Nan Yi nodded his appreciation, "I brought you some snacks from Xiangkeng. I'll have someone send them to you in the evening."
"Thank you, Boss." Acha smiled happily.
Apart from his skin and appearance, it would be more accurate to say that A-cha is from Xiangkeng rather than Indian. He was born and raised in Xiangkeng and grew up eating Xiangkeng food.
Nan Yi nodded again, then turned and left. Nan Yi came to see Ah Cha for no important matter, but he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he came to see him to show his respect for him and to see if there was anything wrong with him.
India is relatively independent of the Nan family. A'cha is directly responsible to Nan Yi and Nan Ruoyin, and there is no one else in charge of them. Being away from home for a long time, his mind is likely to be unstable.
A-Cha plays a vital role in Nan's India strategy, especially when those partners want to turn against each other, his role will be particularly important.
India's greed for foreign investment is ugly, Nan Yi knows it well. He can eat others, but not him. Nan Yi does not have the ability to overthrow the Indian government, but he can overthrow a few politicians. He will break the teeth of anyone who wants to eat him.
The multi-party system has its charm. The parties check and balance each other. As long as there is dirt on someone, many people from other parties are willing to cooperate. Of course, if possible, Nan Yi does not want to get involved in the party disputes in India. He just wants to make money here peacefully.
