Volume 6: The Great Change Chapter 0880 Wiping Ass and Feelings
Nan Yi called Leng Yan and asked for information about "Xiao Xiao".
From the other party, Nan Yi learned that Xiao Xiao's name was Su Xiaoxiao, and also learned her phone number and general appearance.
I called Su Xiaoxiao, but the phone rang for a long time and the other party didn't answer.
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi thought for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable person to do this. He sighed slightly and decided to go by himself. So, he turned to Nan Wuwei and said, "Dad will go to take care of something later. You wait for Dad in the car. We will go back to bed before ten o'clock."
"What about Uncle Lai's lover?" Nan Wuwei asked with his head tilted.
Nan Yi laughed playfully, "You know too much, little brat."
Nan Wuwei pouted and muttered, "I don't want to know either. The phone is so loud that I can't help but listen."
"Okay, it's Dad's fault." Nan Yi responded and let the school beauty drive.
Not long after, the car arrived at the entrance of the Great Wall Hotel. Nan Yi asked Hu cub and the school beauty to stay in the car, and he and Tianxian walked towards the podium building.
Last year, when dance halls began to proliferate, discotheques became popular, and several popped up in Beijing. The disco on Dongsi Street sold tickets for 50 yuan each, but it was always packed, and tickets were hard to come by. There were even ticket scalpers outside the disco, and tickets were once sold for 80-100 yuan each.
The tickets here in Changtai are more expensive, costing 80 yuan each. Nan Yi bought two tickets and took Tianxian through a soundproof area and into the deafening ballroom. Sabrina Salerno's "Boys" was blasting on the speakers.
When Nan Yi heard the music, the sound of liras flapping immediately rang in his mind. If he could bring Sabrina to the country to hold a few concerts, he would definitely make a lot of money.
Sabrina is the most famous European and American female singer in China, bar none. Moreover, there is a very strange phenomenon: many of her Chinese fans do not know her name, but as soon as the music starts or the video starts playing, they will immediately realize: "It's her!"
There was a poor imitator in later generations who initially relied on imitating her and worked her way up to become a world-famous "goddess"-level singer.
After stopping to listen to the music for a while, Nan Yi scanned the dance floor. He didn't see a woman who matched Leng Yan's description, so Nan Yi made a phone call gesture to Tianxian.
Tianxian understood, took out her phone, and dialed while moving between the booths beside the dance floor; Nan Yi walked to a corner, leaned against the wall, and watched the young men and women on the dance floor dancing their youth.
"Boys" ended and "La lsla bonita" seamlessly connected. The dancing on the dance floor turned into twisting of waists. Nan Yi's pocket also began to vibrate. Two short and one long meant encountering non-violent troubles, which had a more specific meaning in the country - the other party's family background was not simple.
After receiving the signal, Nan Yi immediately conjured up a picture in his mind: Su Xiaoxiao was sitting in a booth, surrounded by one or more unusual men.
After dialing Lai Biao's number, Nan Yi said into the receiver: "Wait, don't talk yet."
After saying that, Nan Yi moved the phone away from his ear, held it in his hand, and followed Tianxian's footsteps. After walking around one-third of the disco, Nan Yi saw Tianxian standing next to a booth. He glanced at the people in the booth in the direction of her face, and his eyebrows furrowed.
He put the phone to his ear and spoke into the microphone again: "Your Xiaoxiao and Zhou Xiaobing are sitting together."
"who?"
" The one from Jinggang."
There was a lot of noise from Lai Biao's side for a long time. After more than 20 seconds, Nan Yi finally heard a clear voice: "Old Nan, I have to trouble you again. Please help me send my brother abroad."
"How to send it?" Nan Yi asked.
"Two hundred thousand dollars, so she won't come back."
"Okay, be more discerning next time and don't look for the restless ones."
"There won't be a next time."
Nan Yi hung up the phone, walked to the booth, smiled and nodded at Zhou Xiaobing, then looked at Tianxian.
Tianxian pointed at a woman in the booth who looked innocent and could easily arouse men's sympathy, making them want to hold her in their hands and take good care of her.
"Slap your face."
Upon hearing this, Tianxian quickly leaned over, put one hand on the table, stretched out the other hand, and slapped Su Xiaoxiao in the face.
"Nan Yi, what are you going to do?"
As soon as the fairy made a move, Zhou Xiaobing immediately scolded her.
Nan Yi smiled and turned to look at Zhou Xiaobing. "Brother Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you. Please be patient. I will explain to you later."
After saying that, Nan Yi looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was covering her face, and said coldly: "Why did you call?"
Su Xiaoxiao raised her head and gave Nan Yi a pitiful look, her golden beads dropping down, she looked so pitiful.
"Slap your face."
Bang!
"Why are you calling?"
Su Xiaoxiao continued to look pitiful and continued not to answer.
"continue."
"Nan Yi, Xiaoxiao was brought here by me. You're going too far." Zhou Xiaobing looked at Nan Yi with angry eyes.
Nan Yi turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaobing again and said calmly: "This little miss you mentioned had an owner a few minutes ago, but now she is gone. About an hour ago, the owner received a call from little miss, saying that she was in trouble. The owner was not convenient to come over, so he asked me to come and take a look. Brother Zhou, are you satisfied with my explanation?"
Hearing Nan Yi's words, Zhou Xiaobing showed panic, "Who could send Nan Yi to deal with such a thing? Encountering trouble, asking for help... a quarrel between the snipe and the clam?"
"Hold!"
Zhou Xiaobing jumped up from his seat and pounced on Su Xiaoxiao.
Nan Yi stretched out his left hand, pressed Zhou Xiaobing's shoulder, and pulled him back.
"Brother Zhou, pay attention to the impact and change places."
When Zhou Xiaobing heard Nan Yi's words, he pulled his clothes and said to a person in the booth, "Bring the person with you."
After saying that, he put his arm around Nan Yi’s shoulders and walked out.
Arriving outside the disco, Zhou Xiaobing asked, "Who is that person?"
"Brother Zhou, just think of it as me." Nan Yi said with a smile, "I'm going to take the person away and send him abroad soon. If you find out anything, I'll call Brother Zhou."
Zhou Xiaobing hesitated for a while and said, "Jinggang is preparing to go public in Xiangkeng."
"777 Deep Water Bay. Send the information there. I'll call Brother Zhou after I've read it."
"Okay." Zhou Xiaobing said readily.
Zhou Xiaobing had no problem, so the rest was easy. Tianxian took Su Xiaoxiao from Zhou Xiaobing's hangers-on and carried her into the car.
After Nan Yi said goodbye to Zhou Xiaobing, he also came to Tianxian's car, opened the door, looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was curled up in the seat, and said, "Lai Biao asked you to go abroad. I'll give you three days to decide which country to go to. Someone will help you with the formalities."
"I, I won't go abroad. Lai Biao and I have broken up. He has no right to interfere in my affairs." Su Xiaoxiao said with her neck stiff.
"Do you know how much trouble you got into today?" Nan Yi said, his face showing sarcasm, "Do you take the saying 'Men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men' as the truth? It's best that you called today just to play some womanly tricks. If you have other intentions...
Haha, you are lucky, Lai Biao is a good person. Tianxian, send her back. "
Nan Yi closed the car door and called Lai Biao again, "I brought her out for you. Do you want to question her?"
"No need, just send it away."
"You're really a nice person, but you always cause me trouble, you idiot."
"I……"
Before Lai Biao could finish his curse words, Nan Yi hung up the phone.
…
The next day, Nan Yi called Jin Daosheng to inquire about the registration progress of a trademark. Upon learning that it had been registered , he sent Nan Wuwei on a plane to Xiangkeng and boarded a train to Fengtian himself.
It is already late July and Nan Yi should go to Moscow, but before leaving, he plans to take a detour to Fengtian and then enter Russia from the border.
He took the train in the afternoon and arrived in Fengtian in the late night, almost early morning. But as soon as Nan Yi got off the train, he saw Wu Meifeng waiting on the platform, and Wu Renpin walking towards him smoking not far away.
Nan Yi quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wu Meifeng's wrist, "Meifeng, while your husband is away, let's go quickly, let's elope and travel the world together."
"Hahaha!"
Nan Yi's words made Wu Meifeng hold her stomach and sway back and forth laughing.
This... Nan Yi was very surprised. Wu Meifeng used to be not so open and would be more reserved in public. Who would have thought that she could now perform the image of "laughing out loud". It was a pity that he had always used this word as an adjective.
"Nan Yi, this is a bit outrageous. You just arrived and you want to elope with my wife." Wu Renpin came to Nan Yi and said this with a straight face. Then he stepped forward, grabbed Nan Yi's arms and shook them. "I haven't seen you for four years, and you haven't changed at all."
Nan Yi smiled and said, "You have changed a lot. You must use clam oil every day. Your skin looks so good. If the matchmaker sees you, she will definitely praise you for being so handsome."
Wu Renpin smiled faintly, "His appearance hasn't changed, his temper hasn't changed, he's still the same. Let's go, let's talk about it when we get back, we've got some delicious food ready at home."
"good."
Nan Yi followed Wu Renpin and his wife out of the station. There were already two cars waiting outside. Nan Yi and Wu Renpin and his wife took one, and the three school beauties took another. Mei Zhengyi and Gao Wangzhong did not follow them. They would fly directly to Moscow.
When they arrived at Wu Renpin's house, Wu Meifeng exchanged a few words of greeting and went into the kitchen to cook. Nan Yi followed Wu Renpin and sat in the living room.
First reminiscing about the past, then bringing the topic back to the present, Wu Renpin asked Nan Yi why he came.
"Your place is a key breeding area for white-feathered chickens. I came here to visit the largest state-owned chicken farm in Northeast China and pick up your son from here."
"White-feather chickens? You want to do chicken business?" Wu Renpin was a little confused.
Nan Yi shook his head, "To be exact, it's a chicken rack. You call it a chicken cart here. I want to do this business."
"I saw this in some restaurants near the factory. Cheap chicken noodle soup and smoked chicken carts. They are all cheap food. How did you come up with this?"
"I have to ask you this, my Deputy Director Wu. Oh, no, your deputy title has been removed." Nan Yi frowned and said, "I have a prediction that you definitely don't want to hear. Chicken carts will be all the rage in Fengtian. They will become a delicacy in thousands of households and the favorite meat dish of children."
Wu Renpin also frowned, "What is the basis for your prediction?"
"Don't ask me, the answer is on your desk. Are the companies in your Economic Development Zone having a hard time?"
Wu Renpin frowned even more deeply when he heard this. After thinking for a long time, he said quietly, "You mean, the working families in the Economic Development Zone, or even the entire Gangxi District, can only afford chicken carts for meat dishes on the table?"
"Almost. Two years ago, I was figuring out how to cook chicken racks. Now I can make 38 dishes with chicken racks, and they are all delicious. Before I came here, I even registered a trademark, Lao Xue Brand.
Imagine, in the quiet midsummer, three or five workers gathered in front of the house, smoking Changbaishan, holding Laoxue in one hand and Laoxueji cart in the other, saying: The director of the Economic Development Zone is the one named Wu, the idiot from the Central Plains, I saw him at the Rose Hotel yesterday;
A table full of delicious food, with the TV hostess and the radio announcer sitting with us . Damn it, he eats what we eat. I really want to get a gun and shoot him."
"Nonsense, I have always regarded Secretary Jiao as a role model, and I can live with my conscience." Wu Renpin said sternly.
Nan Yi slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, just because of what you said, when you need it, I will give you 500 million investment and help you create 50,000 jobs."
“On demand?”
Nan Yi nodded heavily, "Yes, I will give it to you whenever you ask for it. Be careful with it. 500 million is 500 million, and I won't add a penny. I am not too optimistic about the investment environment here. If you were not here, I would not come here."
"Nan Yi, you are pointing at a monk and scolding him as a bald donkey." Wu Renpin said with a bitter smile.
"You brothers stop chatting for now. Nan Yi, eat noodles. I made your favorite noodles." At this moment, Wu Meifeng came out of the kitchen holding a large basin.
"Meifeng, you really believe that he likes starchy noodles. He has a southern stomach and eats rice."
"Nonsense, sister. This troublesome guy in your family is about to make trouble again." Nan Yi stood up and walked in front of Wu Meifeng and said.
Wu Renpin: "Nan Yi, don't call me sister-in-law anymore?"
"I am from my mother's family."
Nan Yi helped Wu Meifeng go into the kitchen and bring out some cold dishes. Then, the three of them sat at the table, eating and chatting. After all, it was late, so they didn't chat too much. The three of them stayed on the line and almost finished the conversation. The couple sent Nan Yi to the Rose Hotel together.
The hotel lobby was quite lively. It was almost one o'clock and people were still coming in and out, a man and a woman, a rich man and his mistress.
Although the economy in Fengtian has shown signs of decline, it does not prevent people with ability and means from striving for a well-off life. In a city where the private economy is not very active, there are still many people who have established their own businesses.
Here there are hundred-thousandaires who can hardly recognize who they are, millionaires who live in high-profile extravagance, and low-key multi-millionaires; there are those who do border trade, those who recycle scrap metal, those who do retail, and there are also extremely secretive big businesses that can only be done in special periods, with special relationships, and by specific people.
In a situation where the whole country is like a chessboard, the ways to get rich are similar but incorporate local characteristics.
A dreamless night.
The next day, Nan Yi planned his route in the room and went out.
He stopped a yellow minibus at the hotel entrance. As soon as he got in the car, Nan Yi said to the driver, "Master, please go to Heping Food Court."
When the driver heard the place name , he turned back and took a look, "Brother, you got the wrong place, Quanerlou is the vegetable market."
"Yes, let's go to the vegetable market."
The driver pulled the handbrake and started the car, muttering, "How fresh, living in Rose and going to the vegetable market. Brother, are you in the meat or seafood business?"
Nan Yi: "Butcher, beef."
"Then I advise you to go back to where you came from. You can't do business here. Even the locals can't do business here. It's hard for you, a foreigner, to gain a foothold."
"Oh, what's your name, Master?"
"People who know me well call me Gangdan'er, and those who don't know me well call me Dagang."
"Then I'll call you Master Dagang. Master Dagang, how much does it cost to rent your car for a day?"
Dagang: "What time will it be packed?"
"It's hard to say, just calculate based on the longest time."
Dagang asked tentatively, "How about two hundred?"
"Okay, it's settled, two hundred." Nan Yi responded and asked, "Master Dagang, what fun places are there in Fengtian?"
Dagang smiled ambiguously and said, "Where men go?"
"No, it's a place where men and women go together."
"There are many. The most lively one is Xingshun Street. You can go to Gangxi Commercial Building. Xiaobaihua Ballroom is also good. You can go there to have fun. There is also Friendship. Our Friendship Store is different from other places. You can go there as an outsider. Others include Zhongxing, Lianying, and Dongya. If you want to look at watches, you can go to Qiulin. There are many famous watches there.
Don't go to Yibai, Tiebai, Liaoqing, etc. They are famous, but we locals don't like to go there. You sound like you are from Beijing, so you can go to the Forbidden City and see how it is different from your Beijing accent."
"Thank you. I'll go and have some fun when I have time. Today I'd better focus on my work." Nan Yi responded politely and spread out the Fengtian Evening News he had taken from the hotel.
Seeing this, Dagang stopped talking and focused on the road ahead.
Quanerlou, Gangxi Non-staple Food Market, Jiulu Market, Huanggu Non-staple Food Market, Nan Yi spent a whole day wandering around places where vegetables were sold to get to know the vegetable prices in Fengtian. At noon, he just hurriedly ate chicken noodle soup with chicken rack in a small restaurant, and continued in the afternoon.
The next day, Nan Yi still hired Dagang's car and went to the Normal University; Golden System (University); and the spontaneous second-hand car market on Ningshan West Road, where the cars traded included Lada, Fiat, Quanbei, etc.
When passing by the East Station, I happened to come across the scene of the public trial of train number scalpers. Five large Liberation trains were connected together, with three or four scalpers standing on each train with their heads lowered, and a row of handsome policemen standing behind them.
There were people queuing at the entrance of the Information Center. I asked Dagang and learned that they were queuing to buy pagers. At the intersection of Zhongshan Road, I saw the Rigang Building and the words "Bei Si" on a building on the side. When I lowered my sight, I saw the head of a statue and the outpatient department of the Friendship Chinese Medicine Hospital. Near Tongze North Street, I saw the Northeast Hotel and Jiugecheng Dance Hall...
As it was getting close to dinner time, Dagang brought Nan Yi and a few others to the commercial city on Zhongjie Street.
Although he had passed by here several times in the past two days, Nan Yi still put it last because the commercial city is a bit big, with a total of seven floors and tens of thousands of square meters. Dagang said that the commercial city is more inclusive, and even if you don't have a lot of money, you can come here and enjoy the feeling of spending a lot of money.
Nan Yi entered from the clothing city of the commercial city. When he saw the clothes on display, he had a familiar feeling. He looked towards the entrance suspiciously, then turned back to confirm that he was in the commercial city, not Asia.
The layout here is very similar to Asia. Before it opened, people from the Commercial City must have visited Asia.
After being in a trance, Nan Yi started shopping, slowly at first, and then faster. Not only was the layout of the clothing city like Asia, the quality of the clothing was also on par with Asia, and the brands were also very similar, but the prices were a little higher than Asia.
After all, it is an old industrial city. Ignoring the top ones, the current overall income level in Fengtian is obviously higher than that in Beijing, and the consumption capacity is also stronger.
After spending half an hour shopping in the clothing city, Nan Yi went to the food mall. As soon as he entered the mall, he saw an advertisement for "Danxia Instant Noodles". This is a brand from Shaozhou, Guangdong Province, but it is not easy to find it in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. I didn't expect to see it in the far north, and it seemed to be selling quite well.
Missing a few customers who were holding cartons with small hills of milky yellow instant noodles in their hands, Nan Yi walked to the counter, looked up at the Danxia advertisement in the window, glanced at the goods in the window, and then looked down at the various brands of instant noodles in bags and bowls on the counter.
Tongao, Yingduo, Dayuzhu, Xijiang (scallion chicken), Qibao Yiding, Busyman, Smet, Sanying, Satay, Huaxing (a big bowl), Shuangfeng, and Gezhouba, these are all local brands. Outsiders basically cannot recognize them. If Nan Yi had not been paying attention to the instant noodle market, he would not have heard of most of them based on his memory from his previous life.
He didn't expect that these unpopular brands could be found here, not to mention the more well-known brands such as Zhongcui and Huafeng. Nan Yi saw them all on the counter. He also saw two giants from Taiwan. Both brands had just entered the mainland this year. He didn't expect to see them here as well.
Looking at the dazzling array of instant noodles, especially the two Big Macs, the word "shuffle" popped into Nan Yi's mind, and at the same time, an advertising promotion idea came to his mind.
Regardless of the information obtained in the previous life, or the images and words seen and heard in this life, to sum up, we can draw a conclusion: there are many, perhaps all, children born in the 1980s who have eaten instant noodles, and they all have a simple wish - "eat instant noodles every day."
This wish is very simple and not difficult to realize. Many people born in the 1980s will realize it in the near future. Although it is not difficult, Nan Yi still wants to help them a little, so that they can eat instant noodles every year on their birthdays.
Nan Yi’s inspiration is that children under the age of ten can go to Master Fan’s distribution points to receive a pack of Master Fan instant noodles for free on their birthdays.
"Same blue sky, same noodles, Master Fan wishes all children all over the country a happy birthday." When such a slogan appears in the advertisement, Nan Yi believes that it must be very powerful.
At the same time, the cost is also huge. A rough estimate of the annual expenditure in this area is close to 100 million.
The number of instant noodles distributed will decrease year by year due to the de-prication of instant noodles, and considering factors such as inflation, this marketing campaign will last for about 10 years and the cost will be around 1 billion.
Because Nan Yi himself once had the simple wish of "eating instant noodles every day", this event must be held, which is nothing more than turning a marketing activity into a charitable activity.
Of course, being able to maintain marketing attributes is the best outcome.
When the idea of this marketing campaign came to mind, Nan Yi knew that the "Institute of Innocence" that was already being prepared should be established, and the research on children's consumer psychology should be raised to a more professional level.
After looking at the instant noodles, Nan Yi came to the high-end merchandise area. First was the liquor counter. Nanchen Liquor, Moutai and Wuliangye were placed in the most conspicuous position. In the current liquor market, Wuliangye has the highest reputation, followed by Nanchen Liquor and Moutai. In terms of sales, Wuliangye has the highest sales because it is sold openly, while Nanchen Liquor has the lowest sales because it has been selling hungry marketing for ten years without stopping.
For ten years, they have been pouring money into it non-stop, not only for marketing but also to stabilize the local government of Luohong. Nanchen is willing to make losses, but Luohong is not. Nanchen Liquor has been making losses, but Luohong's dividends are paid every year, empty salaries are paid every month, and various sponsorship levies are not evaded once.
It takes fifteen years to sharpen a sword, and in another five years, Nanchen Liquor Industry will surely soar into the sky.
After a moment of self-admiration, Nan Yi continued to move forward. In the supplement area, there were monkey heads, bird's nests, shark fins, and all kinds of health products that were advertised everywhere in the market.
In the seasoning area, Nan Yi saw Li Jin Ji and felt a sense of familiarity. This was the brand he had forced and lured back to the mainland. Back then, Li Wenda hated him to the core, but not anymore. The old man had already seen the market prospects in the mainland and was determined to cancel the agency contract, which had only a few years left, so that Li Jin Ji could personally develop the market.
How could Yang Kaiyan, a cunning vixen who earns 3 million Hong Kong dollars in agency fees every year, agree to terminate the contract? She is still thinking about renewing the contract.
In the snack area, Nan Yi saw the big bubble gum and the new Want Want brand. He complained to the Wenchangwei Village Committee in his heart, "Damn it, they are still hanging on by a thread. Why don't they make a big mistake so that I can clean up the mess earlier? Time is running out."
Without a major downfall, there would be no way for Nan Yi to return. Even if he could barely regain the right to speak, he would soon have to step down in disgrace.
"Wait another three years. If that doesn't work, just give up the idea and just run the small group well."
After complaining, Nan Yi continued to hang out in the food mall, looking at all kinds of dry goods and seafood. Not only did he look, but he also asked the salesperson about the prices of those without price tags. He asked very detailed questions, but did not buy anything. He was often given the cold shoulder by the salespersons. A pretty salesperson even said something to Nan Yi.
No matter how much he argued, Nan Yi remained the same. When it came to the next person, he still asked the price.
"Comrade, how much is the hairtail?" Nan Yi came to another salesperson and threw out another piece of nonsense.
"Why are you asking? You're not buying."
The distance between the sales clerks was not too far. Nan Yi, who was walking along, had already been noticed by the sales clerk behind him. Moreover, they would "telegram" to each other. The label of "only looking but not buying" had already been stuck on Nan Yi's forehead.
"Of course I'm buying some. I was planning to buy some hairtail and some shrimps. Beauty, hurry up and tell me the price." Nan Yi looked away from the counter, looked up at the salesperson and smiled.
