The three women returned to Nan Yi together. The woman who was walking at the end stepped forward and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Chang Ge."
"Hello, I'm Nan Yi."
"Hello, I'm Guoli." Another woman also introduced herself.
"Guoli, you are an aqueous humor doctor, right?" Nan Yi said as soon as he heard the other party's introduction.
Guo Li was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"
"When I was in middle school, I went to the countryside to help farmers. I went to Fang Shui's production team. Most of the people in the team had the surname Guo, which is a rare surname. I guessed that you were Fang Shui's."
Guo Li's eyes widened. "I am from Guojia Village. When did you come to our village?"
"In 1974, your house was the second one at the entrance of the village. Your father's name should be Guo Fengchan, right?" Nan Yi said with a smile.
"No, my father's name is Guo Fengshou, and Guo Fengchan is my uncle." Guo Li said happily. Of course she was happy to meet someone with whom she had some connection in a foreign country.
"I remembered it wrong, but it's okay. I remembered it wrongly, but I won't remember you wrongly. Little girl, give me back my Iraqi dates. I saw that you were a little girl with a runny nose and looked pitiful, so I gave you a date. I didn't expect that you, a little girl, would eat all my dates while I was in the fields. I only had five dates in total, and you didn't leave any for me."
In the late 1960s or early 1970s, China began importing dates from the Middle East. Dates were cheap and high in sugar, which just made up for the lack of sucrose. Dates were not expensive, but most people could not buy them. Eighty to ninety percent of them were not available in grocery stores. Only one per employee was allowed, and the few that could be put on the shelves were very scarce, so everyone would grab them when they saw them.
Children whose parents are not sharp-minded or aggressive have probably never heard of date palms.
Guo Li chuckled and said, "I don't remember this happening."
"Whether you remember or not, buy me five kilograms of dates as compensation next time." Nan Yi pointed at Guoli and said.
"Okay, it's just five kilograms of dates, I'll buy it." Guoli responded cheerfully.
At this time, a minivan called by the school beauty came over. Nan Yi shouted at the three girls to put their goods on the car. After putting the goods in place, he told the driver to go to the Modan Barracks, and then Nan Yi returned to his car.
"Guoli, fate in life is really amazing. I can actually meet this little girl."
Nan Yi actually knew that Guoli’s “father” was Guo Fengshou, not Guo Fengchan, because the name Guo Fengchan left too deep an impression on him or the former Nan Yi, and it also had a bit of an allusion.
There is a plantation of Mopan persimmons in Guojia Village. There are persimmon trees on two small hills. There is a thatched hut in the valley, which is probably where the people who look after the persimmons live.
On the day of helping farmers, Qian Nanyi and two male classmates ran off to the top of the mountain to play. When they passed by a straw hut, they saw Guoli playing alone on the side of the mountain road in open-crotch pants. Qian Nanyi and his friends teased Guoli for a while. Qian Nanyi even gave Guoli a date, and then continued walking up the mountain.
When passing by the straw hut, the three heard a charming voice. Being at an age when they were full of fantasies about the opposite sex, the three of them looked at each other and tiptoed close to the straw hut. They looked inside through the gap and found that the man was Guo Fengchan, and the woman was someone they didn't recognize, but she was definitely not Guo Fengchan's wife.
Nan Yi's class was brought back to Guojia Village by Guo Fengchan and another villager from the town. From the conversation between the two on the way, they learned that Guo Fengchan's wife worked as a teller at the supply and marketing cooperative in the town and should have been at work at the time. Moreover, the couple did not need to sneak into the straw shed.
After looking for a while, the three of them tiptoed away before being discovered.
Having already had a very exciting big harvest, the hilltop had lost its attraction to the three people. After circling around, the three people went back to the fields.
Not long after, a pretty woman , the one in the straw hut, came to the field holding litchis. The three of them listened carefully and asked people, and soon found out that the woman was Guo Fengshou's wife and Guo Fengchan's sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law and brother-in-law...
At that time, the worldview of the former Nan Yi and other three people was greatly impacted.
When leaving Guojia Village, Qian Nanyi gave the four remaining dates to the little girl Guoli.
Thinking about the past today, it is hard to say whose daughter Guo Li is, and it is not easy to easily put a bad hat on Guo Fengchan and Guo Li's mother.
It’s hard to explain what happened in those years; there are too many confusing things.
Nan Yi showed kindness to Guo Li not only because of their fate in the past, but also because she was a "victim".
The car stopped at the gate of Modan Barracks. Lin Jing and Guo Li, two of the three girls, looked around curiously, but Chang Ge seemed to have been here before. She was not too curious about the barracks in front of her, but she often stole glances at Nan Yi.
Nan Yi stepped forward to help the three girls take the cart out of the van, and then took the three girls to the Huibin Building.
Although there are staff dormitories in the barracks with empty beds, Nan Yi does not plan to take the three of them to live in the dormitory. Not to mention that the staff of the paging station need to work in shifts, there are people sleeping in the dormitory day and night, which may easily disturb the rest of the personnel on duty at night.
In addition, if three strangers enter a relatively independent and closed space, it will cause psychological rejection to other people and worries about their own finances; if a theft occurs in the dormitory while the three women are staying there, there is no doubt that the three women will take the blame, and Nan Yi will most likely be hated by the employees.
Pushing open a door, I entered the storage room where the chairs were stored. There was not much dust in the air.
"You three will live here. Someone will help you bring your camp beds and blankets over later. Even though it's hot now, it will be a bit cool at night." Nan Yi pushed Lin Jing's cart to the corner and said to the three girls, "Turn right after you exit the toilet and walk to the end of the corridor. The one with a pink house number is the women's toilet. If you want to take a shower, there is a bathroom outside. If you want to buy something, you can go to the convenience store..."
Nan Yi introduced the consumption places in the barracks in great detail, fearing that the three girls would not know and miss the opportunity to consume here.
"Brother Nan, can I make international long-distance calls through this phone bar?" Lin Jing asked.
"You can call anywhere." Nan Yi replied, and then said: "Please do as you please. I will come to you at 5:30 and treat you to dinner."
After Nan Yi left, the three girls immediately moved out chairs and sat down. Riding on a train was very tiring. After staying on the train for a whole week, the three girls were exhausted.
Chang Ge tapped his slightly numb thigh and twisted his waist, "Lin Jing, this time it's all thanks to you. You haven't been to Moscow , so you don't know how difficult it is to stay here. Even though this is just a storage room, it's much more comfortable than living in Zhonghua."
"Sister Chang, is the China Hotel really that bad?" Lin Jing asked.
"The living conditions are acceptable, but everything else is too messy. I can't explain it clearly to a little girl like you. You'll know next time you get a chance to live there." Chang Ge said with the tone of an experienced person.
Compared to Lin Jing, who was taking the K3 for the first time, and Guo Li, who had only taken it twice, Chang Ge had been doing it for more than seven months and was considered an old hand. She had pretty much understood the situation and had experienced two robberies on the train. Fortunately, she only lost a little money. However, she knew very well that if she walked too much at night, she would always encounter ghosts. She did not want to just run back and forth on the train, so she came to Moscow this time to test the waters. She planned to become the fourth type of trader.
As soon as Nan Yi showed up today, she paid attention to him. She was shocked by the scene at first, and then when she arrived at the Modan barracks, she had some guesses about Nan Yi's identity.
The Modan Barracks is well-known. Every trader who travels to Russia knows that there is such a place. Regardless of whether the merchants here know Nan Yi or not, they all gave him the nickname "Money-grubber", which means that no matter what you do in the barracks, you have to pay. When eating and drinking, they will bring Nan Yi up and scold him as a side dish. No one says a good word about Nan Yi.
But if someone said that since Modan Barracks was so greedy for money, why didn't it move away instead of staying here, the merchants would not say anything. Whether the water was comfortable or not, how could they not know since they were soaking in the water?
The current situation is that nothing you say will get them any better, and they won't leave even if you try to drive them away.
As long as you are a merchant in Modan Barracks, you represent strength and integrity. Without some strength, you can't stay here. The rent plus miscellaneous expenses and daily expenses in the barracks are at least 3,500 to 4,000 US dollars a month; if anyone does business without following the rules, he will be kicked out directly.
Chang Ge was very clear about this situation. During this period, she had saved more than 30,000 US dollars. There would be no problem paying the rent, and she could pay for the goods on credit. If she could gain a foothold in the Modan Barracks, her business would be greatly improved. But the problem was that there were no empty rooms here.
"Manager Bao, I didn't see anything about the trade show in your work plan. Leather jackets are about to be in season. Don't you have any ideas?"
"Master Nan..." Bao Huantou said with shame.
"Call me President Nan during work hours."
"Uh, President Nan, the businesses in the Modan Barracks and the Vietnam Building are doing pretty well right now. Is it necessary to hold a trade fair?"
"I treat you well, so is there no need to increase your salary in the future?"
"this……"
"I'll give you two days. Even if you don't sleep, you have to come up with a plan for the trade fair. It must make money for the merchants and benefit us. I'm talking about cash. Now, get out."
Upon hearing Nan Yi's words, Bao Huantou left Nan Yi's office with a sad face. To come up with a plan in two days would be the end of him.
"Bao Huantou's ability is still a little lacking."
Nan Yi sighed slightly, opened the drawer, and took out a plan for a trade fair. He spent half an hour to come up with this plan before going to bed one day when he was in Ussuriysk.
He turned on the computer, typed out an English version, printed it out and gave it to Aksinya to translate it into Russian.
Nan Yi's Russian level is enough to cope with listening, speaking and reading, but he is a little bit unable to write. Aksinya's English-Russian translation is okay, but the Chinese-Russian translation is not very good.
Knock knock knock!
"Come in."
"Adam."
"Savina, you look five years younger." Nan Yi said, he stood up, walked to the person who came, and gave the other person a kiss on the cheek.
Savina, the legal officer of Huaguo Building and Market Business, is a 51-year-old lady who looks only 49. She is very concerned about her age. Nan Yi usually says that she looks less than 40 years old. She was the candidate decided when he was about to leave Moscow last year.
Hearing Nan Yi's words, Savina was very proud. When she smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes became very obvious in an instant. "Adam, you are still so handsome, and your words are still so nice."
"Aha, you came here today, because which merchant is in trouble?"
"Not really. Someone's business has grown so big that he has set his sights on natural gas mines," Savina said with a smile.
"Uh-huh, cooperate with the locals?"
"Yes."
Nan Yi smiled and said, "Business cooperation, this is a big order, so, can you treat me to a sumptuous dinner one day?"
"Anytime, if you're free, you can call me anytime. I know you're here, I just came over to say hello, and I'm going to talk to Evelyn about some tax matters."
"OK, please do as you please."
After Savina left, Nan Yi also left his office and went to the back door of the South Building, where he chatted with Cai Haochi and a group of chefs from Wuchuan.
On the other hand, Zilong, who has arrived in Moscow with his team, is using the Holy Mother's Korean connections to work with the Command and Conquer people to find out Li Zhengping's background.
The information provided by Lai Erlin was too little. The gang of gangsters who attacked the Vietnam Building didn't even know where Li Zhengping lived. They only found out that Li Zhengping was usually cautious and never revealed his address to outsiders except his confidants. Even people who had been there couldn't clearly tell where Li Zhengping's villa was. He wore a hood when going back and forth, and the car that picked him up would circle on the road until people were dizzy.
The more sneaky and cautious Li Zhengping is, the better news it is for Nan Yi, as it indirectly proves that the person behind him is not very strong.
After bragging for a while at the back door of the South Building, Nan Yi went to the paging station again, looked over Xia Lin's plan, made a few suggestions, and asked her to hurry up and execute it. Then he dealt with some small matters at work.
For some time in the future, Nan Yi plans to stay in the Modan Barracks. Previously, Bao Huantou was responsible for the specific work. Although the business development was quite good, it was not so good when it came to management. The team that was built was also a makeshift one, lacking rules and systems. What Nan Yi has to do is to establish the operating rules and push Bao Huantou to make progress.
If it cannot be pushed forward, the shares that should be given will still be given, but the position will be resigned.
At half past five, Nan Yi went to look for the three girls. After knocking on the door for a while, he heard no response. He put his ear close to the door and heard snoring coming from the utility room. He went to the staff canteen in the south building to eat, and asked Cai Haochi to prepare a few dishes for the three girls, waiting for them to wake up hungry and eat.
Two days later, Aksinya boarded a plane to Beijing, and Nan Yi received a report from the Vietnam Building saying that merchants were selling slower and fewer people were coming to purchase in bulk.
Bao Huantou's words about the merchants' booming business were still fresh in their ears when bad signs began to emerge.
After asking the Vietnam Building to submit a statistical table of the merchant commodity categories, Nan Yi went to various small markets in Moscow himself. Combining his own observations with the contents of the statistical table, it was easy to find the crux of the problem - the homogeneity was too serious. Many merchants still sold leather jackets, Adidas, and hiking shoes.
Nan Yi was really worried about those merchants. At the beginning of the year, the old three items were selling very well and were simply hot-sellers, but all the traders knew this information. No matter whether they were old employees or newcomers, 80 to 90 percent of them sold these old three items. They had been reaping the benefits for more than half a year, and the Russians were almost exhausted, but they didn't even think about changing and had no awareness of differentiated operations.
It’s okay for small traders who don’t have much accumulation. They have poor risk resistance and dare not bring goods that have not been tested in the market after traveling thousands of miles. Big traders who have accumulated a certain amount of wealth have strong risk resistance and are not afraid of a batch of goods. However, Nan Yi has not seen many traders who used to do the same old things add new products.
After sitting in the office and thinking for a while, Nan Yi called Luo Huan.
"Hey, Mule, I want 2,000 Ganfeng Hanxian Type 2, how long will it take for me to get them?"
The Ganfeng Hanxian Type 2 is the BOSS machine, which has a relatively large screen and is specially designed for customers who trade stocks and futures, and can display more text information.
Luo Huan was surprised and asked, "Does Moscow still need the Type 2?"
"I am useful, give me some time."
Luo Huan found a document, flipped through it and said, "The production capacity of our current cooperative factory is not enough. They are busy producing for Xiangkeng. You have to wait ten days. After Xiangkeng's order is finished, I will notify the factory to change the production line, and it will be ready for production in five days."
Ganfeng Technology is an asset-light enterprise and does not have its own factory. In theory, it only focuses on design, R&D and marketing. In fact, it currently has no R&D capabilities and does not have any R&D personnel.
"Half a month is fine. My assistant is in China right now. I'll ask her to find you to sign the contract. So, how are the Siberian Tigers (motorcycles) selling?"
Nan Yi's requirement for Luo Huan was to have the Siberian Tiger on the market before November, but the other party brought the time forward by three months. It must be said that he did a great job.
Luo Huan said sarcastically: "The results are encouraging. So far, the total sales nationwide are 79 sets, of which 50 sets were bought because of my last name, Luo. I guess the goods are still on hand."
"Don't be sarcastic. As the president of Ganfeng Technology, Comrade Luo Huan, I have to criticize you. How do you do things? The national motorcycle market is so hot, and you only handed in this kind of answer. Do you deserve me..."
"Come on, even if you are the boss, I still have to speak out. The conception of your product is a complete failure. The upper limit is low and the lower limit is even lower. Once you make back the investment cost, you can cancel this product. It is a waste of manpower and resources."
"There is nothing in the world that cannot be sold, there are only people who don't know how to sell. President Luo, you still need to improve your business capabilities." Nan Yi said stubbornly.
From the very beginning, Nan Yi knew in his heart that Ganfeng Technology’s “motorcycle” would not be able to deliver a good result. Its market positioning and price positioning already indicated that it was a failed product.
A set of Siberian Tiger is priced at 1,500 yuan. Those who have the financial resources to buy a motorcycle can just buy a real one. A cheaper one can be purchased for more than 3,000 yuan. Those who don't have the financial resources will not choose the Siberian Tiger. They will continue to use steamed buns as the power source. Why change to a gasoline-powered one?
The reason why Nan Yi did this was out of sentimentality. In his previous life, he wanted to own a fake motorcycle like the Siberian Tiger, but by the time he could afford it, this thing had disappeared.
"Okay, okay, get rid of me and find someone else to continue selling Siberian tigers."
"I won't say any more nonsense. If the product doesn't sell well in China, try the Southeast Asian market. Oh, forget about Vietnam. You can also try Africa. No matter what, since we have already done it, we should try our best to make some achievements."
"No one would go to Vietnam. The motorcycle culture there has been developed for many years. It's strange that they would be interested in Siberian tigers. Do you want me to send you a few sets so that you can try them in Russia?"
Nan Yi put aside his frivolity and said seriously, "Forget about Russia. It's a matter of exchange rate. Real motorcycles aren't that expensive. Well, I have a few more calls to make. Let me put it this way first."
"Okay, I just have to go back to Beijing. They're going to set up a new automatic paging station, I think it's called 127. There are too few Chinese paging stations, so we have to go back and grab a piece of the digital market. I'm going to try to bundle Ganfeng with 127."
"Yeah, it's hard work."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi flipped through the calendar on his desk a few dozen pages and wrote on it: "Acquire a washing machine production line in Russia."
After finishing writing and putting down the pen, Nan Yi called Yi Jinru again and asked her to purchase a batch of stationery and send it to Moscow before September 1.
While walking around the market, Nan Yi discovered that there was not a single dealer selling stationery. As Russian primary and secondary schools were about to start the new semester, if he put a batch of high-quality and low-priced Chinese stationery on the market at this time, smart wholesalers would definitely rush to buy it, and it would not be a dream to sell it out.
After hanging up the phone again, Nan Yi turned on his computer and typed away on the keyboard...
During the rest of August, Nan Yi, Huaguolou and all the shareholders who held visible and hidden shares in the market met with each other and coordinated to bring these industries together to form an "October Company". The human resources and management were connected, but the shares were not connected. The dividends from Huaguolou and the market were still settled separately, but the management and human resource costs were shared by both sides in proportion.
It is impossible to connect the shares. Most of the hidden shareholders do not want anyone other than Nan Yi to know the dividend amount they have received, and they don’t even want others to know that they are holding hidden shares. Therefore, Nan Yi cannot gather all the shareholders together for a meeting.
At the end of August, Qian Haohui sent a lawyer to get the hidden shareholders to sign and transfer the offshore companies used to collect dividends to designated people. The industries in Moscow changed from the previous unclear property rights to a Russian-foreign joint venture (Nan Yi is Russian and the other shareholders are foreign), enjoying the preferential investment promotion policies of the Russian Federation and the Moscow Municipal Government, mainly tax preferential policies.
In fact, from a more objective perspective, Russia's securities privatization is actually a "good sutra". If it is read well, it is not impossible for Russia's economy to take off.
For example, a government of a certain country encourages farmers to plant certain crops and provides subsidies for them, with a certain amount of money for each kilogram of crops. This is a good thing for farmers. However, during the implementation of this policy, the subsidies were allocated, but they did not fall into the hands of farmers, but were taken away by some powerful people.
An evil man wanted to kill a pig. Everyone wants to kill a fat pig, so before killing it, the evil man prepared to feed the pig fat and give it concentrated feed every day, with no limit on the amount.
The pigs lived well and ate well for three months. One day, the evil man thought the pigs were fat enough, so he ran to the pigpen with a butcher knife. Just at the door of the pigpen, he accidentally stepped on a slippery, golden good guy card, and his foot slipped, and he hit his head on the ground and died.
A good man wanted to feed a pig well. In order to make the pig eat more, the good man used the theory from martial arts that retracting the fist before punching out can exert greater power to feed the pig. He let the pig starve for a while. After being hungry for two months, the pig's desire for food reached its peak. Even if a mountain of feed was placed in front of it, it would eat it all up.
When the good man saw that it was a good time to feed concentrate feed, he went to the pigpen with the concentrate feed. However, just at the door of the pigpen, he stepped on a spiked rake. With a clang, the handle of the spiked rake hit him on the head, and the good man died heroically.
The shock therapy implemented by Russia is divided into steps. Generally speaking, the first step is to completely liberalize prices. Over the past eight months, Russia's inflation and soaring prices have a lot to do with this strategy.
The second step is to uniformly levy value-added tax and additional commodity consumption tax.
If we interpret this carefully, it means that the burden that belonged to the state during the Soviet revisionist period and the planned economy era has been dumped on the enterprises, and all the risks have been transferred to the enterprises. The state no longer plays the role of an autocratic patriarch who controls everything, but has become a very open-minded patriarch. There is no distinction between biological sons and godsons. As long as you call the state dad and pay for the household expenses, you are its son and can flutter around on its own piece of land.
It's such a pity that no matter whether it's his biological son or his godson, they are either in the ICU or in the intensive care unit. There are only a few who just have a minor cold. Their immunity is poor, and someone will even be naughty and pull off the quilt in the middle of the night. Although the condition is mild, it never gets better and it keeps coming back again and again.
Each of the sons was given a wooden horse. The father did not help them onto the horse or escort them for a while. He just pointed to the north and shouted loudly: "300 miles to the north are the 30,000 elite bannermen of the Xiongnu. Each of them has eight horses. You are all my good sons. I believe you will definitely kill them all. Go to the battle, sons, Hurrah!"
The sons went to war in February, riding wooden horses and carrying drawn cakes as their food (non-cash circulating between enterprises, as mentioned earlier). The father knew that the cakes could not fill their stomachs, but he waited until July to remember to issue the order to provide food to the enemy (privatization of securities).
Before issuing the order, he weighed the pros and cons repeatedly and called together the mothers of his sons to hold a meeting to discuss how to issue the order.
While the parents were still working out the details, the oligarchs who were interested in becoming godfathers had already begun setting up the venue for their godson recognition ceremony. In order to avoid conflicts too early, the oligarchs even sat together to discuss the list of godsons to be adopted. You Zhang San, I Li Si, he Wang Wu, they sat in a row and shared the fruits. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
For the time being, Nan Yi has nothing to do with the fruit division, and it is not his turn to receive any instructions. But he is also a godson who works hard all the time. Taxation is directly related to him. The establishment of October Company is not only for the formalization of management, but also for the tax preferential policies. All in all, he can achieve at least a few more "small goals" in surplus every year.
In another two or three years, maybe it will increase to "medium meaning".
During the period of setting up the company, Nan Yi did not forget to give him advice and give him some praise. First, he criticized the trade fair plan he submitted, and then used public funds to enroll him in a language school, and also got him an auditor certificate for Moscow University.
On the last day of August, the stationery worth 3 million RMB purchased by Yi Jinru, which cost hundreds of thousands of RMB in shipping fees, arrived at the public warehouse of Modan Barracks. In order to save time, they flew here by both cargo and civil aviation.
In the warehouse, Nan Yi first checked the wool sweaters and leather jackets that had been sent to him before. As he didn't have time and wanted to stock up and wait for the season to come to sell them at a good price, Nan Yi didn't sell any of Jinru Trading's goods.
The goods were intact and there was no damage. Nan Yi immediately stopped checking and began to count the new stationery, including pencils, erasers, rulers, pencil cases, and school bags. It took him half a day to count the quantity clearly. When he left the warehouse, he also took away a few samples.
In the past two or three days, the exchange rate in the market has changed again. The ruble has reached 620 to 1 against the US dollar. Moscow's economy continues to decline. The purchasing potential of end customers for leather jackets has suddenly disappeared, leaving only wholesalers at all levels still hoarding goods. However, they have also seen the current situation clearly - there are more goods than customers. Some have stopped hoarding, and some have begun to lower the price to get goods.
Whether it was the China Hotel or other small businesses in the "China Building" and Vietnam Building, they all faced severe tests. Once the goods were piled up, some people immediately lost their patience and competed to lower prices, lowering them again and again until everyone was sad, but the goods still could not move.
However, the goods still arrived in Moscow through various channels, and the three old items were piling up. In two days, K3 would arrive in Moscow again. I wonder how many of the three old items it would bring this time. In various places in Moscow where Chinese people gathered, the air was filled with anxiety.
Right now, only the situation here in Modan Barracks is relatively strong. The powerful merchants are cooperating with powerful local Russian wholesalers. They are still selling goods normally, and there is no price fluctuation. They are just waiting for their opponents to be defeated.
To them, those small merchants and small traders outside are all troublemakers. If they all fail, they will hold a three-day banquet and set off fireworks for three days and three nights.
The smaller the business, the higher the relative cost. Although Lin Jing and her two daughters lived in the storage room of the guest house for free, they could save a limited amount of money every day, and their other expenses would not be reduced by a penny. But at the same time, the free accommodation gave them confidence. When others lowered their prices, the three of them did not reduce their prices by a penny.
They pull goods to the market early in the morning every day and come back dejectedly in the afternoon with not a single piece of goods missing. It has been almost half a month and they are anxious.
When Nan Yi was walking from the warehouse to the office with samples, he happened to meet Liu Shunqing, the biggest breadwinner of October Company, at the door of a convenience store. In addition to the rent and other miscellaneous service fees, Nan Yi could get more than 30,000 US dollars from Liu Shunqing every month. This was pure dividends that could be put directly into Nan's pocket after everything was accounted for.
"Boss Liu, what's up?"
"A few guests from St. Petersburg came to buy some drinks." Liu Shunqing said, "Boss Nan, just came out of the warehouse?"
"Yes, my mother has a trading company, and she's been doing this recently." Nan Yi gestured to the cardboard box of stationery in his hand, "Boss Liu, if anyone you know wants the goods, just introduce them to me. I'll give you 3 cents... If you think it's too little, I'll have someone send you a price list later."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shunqing approached Nan Yi, rummaged through the cardboard box for a while, and looked at the samples carefully. "Schools in Moscow will start on September 1st, right?"
Nan Yi smiled and said, "The whole of Russia."
Liu Shunqing gave a thumbs up and complimented, "Boss Nan, no wonder you can create such a big scene. You have figured out the business. Can you give me the price list right away?"
As soon as Nan Yi heard it, he knew that Liu Shunqing's St. Petersburg customers were not just leather jacket manufacturers. "Fifteen minutes, on time. Pick it up at the door of your room."
As he spoke, Nan Yi picked out the best piece from each sample and handed it to Liu Shunqing, then hurried back to his office and started making a price list by comparing it with the purchase order.
