"Oh, Nansheng, you are also in the real estate business?"
Nan Yi was a little surprised that Luo Zhaohui didn't tell Liu Jiajia that he was Fang Mengyin's grandson.
"You don't have to call me Nansheng. My last name is Nan and my given name is Yi. I'm from the mainland. Miss Liu, just call me by my name."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiajia hurriedly took advantage of the situation, her bright eyes looking forward, "Then I'll still call you Master Nan. Master Nan doesn't look that old, and should be the same age as me. If Master Nan wasn't married, I would definitely pursue you... hehe."
"Miss Liu is pursuing me, I believe no man in the world can refuse." Nan Yi shook his head, "It's a pity that I didn't meet you, Miss Liu, earlier, but met another Miss Liu, and I was tied down, there is no chance."
"Hehehe, Master Nan, you are so sweet. Is Madam Nan's last name also Liu?"
"Yes, his last name is also Liu."
"Mrs. Nan is also from the mainland?"
"Yes, working in the interior."
"Then... Young Master Nan, why are you in Xiangkeng again?"
"My grandma is here. She is old and works very hard. I am here to take care of her daily life."
"Mr. Nan, you are not short of money, why do you let your grandma work?"
Nan Yi waved his hands and pretended to be distressed. "I can't help it. My grandma can't let go of her job. I told her to take a break and I will do her job. My grandma looked down on me and said that I was uneducated and unskilled and couldn't take on the burden of the Fang Group."
"Fang... Fang? Fang Meng... Old Madam Fang is your grandmother?" Liu Jiajia said in astonishment.
“Yes, Miss Liu, you don’t have to look up to me because of this. The surname Fang, not Nan, has nothing to do with me. I have achieved what I have today through my own hard work and have never relied on my grandmother.” Nan Yi tried his best to defend himself, like a second-generation rich kid who was in desperate need of recognition from others.
"I don't care if his surname is Fang or Nan. Alas, it's a pity that his surname is not Liu." Liu Jiajia complained in her heart, but said, "I believe that Luo Sheng never mentioned that Young Master Nan is the grandson of Old Lady Fang. He doesn't respect Young Master Nan because of this identity."
"You little bitch, you've practiced flattery."
"Hahaha, like Ronaldinho, we both climbed up from the bottom and started from scratch, so he and I get along well. Didn't you ask me if I'm in the real estate business? I don't do it myself, I only invest in others.
I bought a few houses hoping for appreciation. I was lucky. When I bought them in 1990, they were about 1,900 per square foot. Now they are almost 4,500. It's a pity that I didn't buy enough. I only bought 99. It would have been better if I bought a few hundred. "
Nan Yi suddenly thought that his assessment of the assets of the little girl Nan Ruoyin was outdated. After the calculation in 1991, he did not take into account the increase in the number of houses and the appreciation in house prices. The little girl's assets might be twice as much as he thought.
Liu Jiajia's eyes changed from straight to round, and from bottom to top, numbers, multiplication signs, and plus signs floated up quickly. Ding, a long string of numbers appeared in her eyes, rolling quickly from left to right.
The smile climbed up from the gums to the scarlet lips, and the tongue touched the lips, "Mr. Nan, where did you buy your house?"
"They're everywhere. I asked someone else to help me buy them. I haven't seen many of them. Now I almost forgot where the house is. I have to go back and look for the title deed." Nan Yi suddenly slapped his head, "Oh no, I can't remember where the title deed is. Oh, right, my wife has it. I have a bad memory. My wife manages all the property in the house. I just ask her for money when I need it."
"Young Master Nan trusts Madam Nan so much that he lets her manage all the property?" Liu Jiajia said with a twinkling eye.
"There's nothing to worry about. My wife and I have a strong bond. Besides, I don't usually need money. My expenses are fixed. I have 500 Hong Kong dollars on me. If Xiao Luo runs away with the bill, you have to pay for this meal. The only valuable thing on my body is my watch."
Nan Yi lifted up his left sleeve and said, "It's a Shiyou brand, a global limited edition, with only 18,000 pieces issued in total. I spent two months' salary to buy it. Now it has appreciated in value and has risen to 160 yuan. In a few years, it will definitely be more valuable than a gold Rolex."
As Nan Yi was speaking, Luo Zhaohui came back with a rather unfriendly look on his face, "Nansheng, I'm sorry, I have something very urgent to deal with today..."
"It's okay. You should go first if you have something important to do. We'll make an appointment next time."
Luo Zhaohui probably had something urgent to do, so he nodded without any hesitation and said, "I'll apologize to Nansheng next time."
After saying that, he left in a hurry without giving Liu Jiajia any explanation.
Watching Luo Zhaohui leave, Nan Yi immediately complained in his heart: "Oh, my mouth is blessed."
Liu Jiajia didn't notice what Luo Zhaohui said. She just saw the person come and go. She was feeling annoyed at the moment. She thought she had met a bachelor just now, but she didn't expect that he would become a henpecked husband in a short while. Alas, she didn't know if she could get any money out of him.
Nan Yi has stepped half a foot into the Hong Kong entertainment circle, and he knows very well how muddy the water is inside. Liu Jiajia is a rich bus that can't drive into a rich family. He will not take the initiative to provoke her, nor does he want to be attacked by the other party.
Just now, he was telling Liu Jiajia that he had money but his wife was taking care of him, so she shouldn't worry about him.
It's not easy to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. Not to mention being full of tricks, at least one has to be basic scheming. Although Nan Yi's status in Liu Jiajia's heart has plummeted, she still maintains her enthusiasm. The rest of the meal was not boring, and the two of them talked and laughed.
After dinner, Liu Jiajia acted coquettishly but with a hint of reserve, and asked Nan Yi to take her home.
Nan Yi readily agreed, and when he called the waiter to pay the bill, he was told that Luo Zhaohui had already paid the bill. The scene of paying the bill humbly did not happen, and Nan Yi and the other person left the restaurant together.
There were several broken lights in the parking lot, flickering on and off, creating just the right atmosphere for a horror movie. Nan Yi's car was parked in a remote corner. Liu Jiajia, who had been kidnapped and placed in a claustrophobic environment and had a little psychological trauma, subconsciously walked forward next to Nan Yi.
Nan Yi did not take the opportunity to do anything wrong. He just walked to his car normally and invited Liu Jiajia to sit in the back seat.
"The light was working just now, how come it broke now?" After sitting firmly, Nan Yi asked the tiger cub sitting in the passenger seat.
"It's man-made. Grandpa is working."
"Have you left yet?"
"Still there, at the five o'clock position, the third car from the last."
"oh."
After asking Liu Jiajia's address, Nan Yi asked the school beauty to drive.
After the car drove out for a while, Liu Jiajia, who had been silent just now, suddenly said, "Mr. Nan, is it still possible to speculate in real estate now?"
"Didn't Xiao Luo give you any advice?"
"No, I don't talk about business with him." Liu Jiajia said ambiguously.
"Oh." Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "At present, the upward momentum of Hong Kong's housing prices is still very strong, and there is still a lot of room for appreciation. However, in a few years it will be 1997, and before that, British capital will definitely withdraw from Hong Kong in large numbers.
Once British capital withdraws, we need to wait and see carefully and pay attention to market trends. If at that time, we hear news everywhere that real estate speculation is profitable, then it is time to withdraw. "
"Why do we want to quit when everyone says they are making money?" Liu Jiajia asked humbly.
Nan Yi pointed at himself and said, "Suppose I am a night watcher. One day I say to you: Miss Liu, Director Wang and I are very familiar with each other. He has not decided on the female lead for his next play yet. If you give me 100,000, I will arrange for you to be the female lead. Would you believe it?"
"If you don't believe it, if it's really that powerful, then you don't need to watch it anymore."
"Yes, if everyone could make a lot of money, Mid-Levels would have been overcrowded. Generally speaking, a night watchman cannot possibly know a famous director, and a housewife selling vegetables cannot possibly make a lot of money from speculation.
Who among those who worked as curry coffee with you didn't dream of becoming the protagonist? Besides you, how many others have become the protagonist?
One day, a curry coffee comes to you and tells you, Jia Jia, I will be the protagonist. The next day, another curry coffee comes to you and tells you that he will be the protagonist. If one, two, ten, or a hundred people tell you this, will you doubt that this world is no longer normal? "
"meeting."
Liu Jiajia vaguely felt that she had grasped something.
"If Curry Coffee plays the leading role, who will play Curry Coffee? Can the play still be made? A play needs a leading role and also needs Curry Coffee, so that the play can be made. Similarly, if there are people speculating in real estate, there must be people who take over. If everyone becomes a speculator and no one takes over, who can the property be sold to? Can something that no one wants still be valuable?"
There are some things that Nan Yi would not tell Liu Jiajia. The soaring housing prices in Xiangkeng in the past two years are abnormal and violate the economic laws. A careful analysis will reveal that someone is pushing up housing prices. As for who is pushing it, you can guess with your heels that it is the British capital that wants to withdraw at a high level.
As long as British capital starts to withdraw, Creativity Real Estate will also sell off its worse buildings, cash out part of the funds and use the money to buy high-quality properties sold by British capital.
Liu Jiajia complained, "Oh, it's too complicated, Nan Shao, now that you put it like that, I don't dare to speculate in real estate anymore."
"Haha, it's not that complicated. The overall housing prices in Xiangkeng are going up. If you don't take out a loan or you can guarantee that you can always afford the housing, don't worry even if the housing prices drop temporarily. Just hold on to them and they will go back up in no time." Nan Yi looked forward and saw a person pacing downstairs not far ahead. "Hmm? That seems to be Liang Zhenjun. He might be waiting for you to come home."
"Ah?" Liu Jiajia also looked forward, and then said anxiously: "Young Master Nan, I'm getting off here."
"good."
After the car stopped, Liu Jiajia said goodbye politely in the car, then quickly got out and walked towards Liang Zhenjun.
When the car turned around, Nan Yi saw Liang Zhenjun staring at the car through the rearview mirror, and vaguely heard Liu Jiajia explaining, "Junzi, I only love you, how could I do anything to let you down..."
…
In the morning, Nan Yi came back from running. Ruan Mei was putting breakfast on the table and putting the plate away. Ruan Mei came to Nan Yi, hugged him and said, "I've squeezed the toothpaste for you. Go wash up quickly."
"good."
After washing up, Nan Yi went to the dining table and sat opposite Ruan Mei.
"Yesterday, Liu Jiajia and I had dinner together in the big class building. When I sent her back, she suddenly asked me if I could still speculate in real estate. I gave her some advice."
Ruan Mei put the peeled eggs on Nan Yi's plate, "Why are you eating with her?"
"Luo Zhaohui brought it." Nan Yi broke the egg into two halves and sprinkled some soy sauce on it. "That's not the point. The property market will soon usher in a big boom. This is a good opportunity for the Artist Care Fund to move to a higher level."
“It’s going to rise sharply?”
Nan Yi took a bite of the egg and said while chewing: "After a big rise, there will be a big fall. You can launch a principal-guaranteed fund, and the investment direction is the real estate market. The annual return rate can be verbally promised to be 20%. This is guaranteed, but it cannot be implemented in the contract."
"It doesn't matter whether I implement it or not. I have to fulfill my verbal promises, otherwise my credibility will be gone."
"Of course I know that not putting it in the contract is to build your reputation as a trustworthy person. You must keep your word and do what you say. Even if there is a chance, I will pay for it so that your clients can get a 20% annual return. It's different if it's written in the contract. It becomes what you should do legally. Taking the initiative becomes being forced."
Ruan Mei nodded, "I see. It won't be too difficult to raise funds. The last time Donglaiwu stocks were traded, many people made a fortune. There will definitely be many people participating in this new project, especially after the promised rate of return."
"Well, you have to pay attention to other aspects as well. I heard that you have only developed two customers for beauty injections, and no one for plastic surgery. You can't do this. If you don't make any progress, Seoul will kick you out and come here to develop the market by yourself."
Ruan Mei said bitterly: "It's not that easy to develop customers. I can't tell them that your eyes are not pretty, you'd better get double eyelids; your nose is too flat, you can lift it up; your chin is too flat, you can shave it off a little..."
"Don't just complain. Believe it or not, if I were in your position, I could develop dozens of clients a month. What do you mean by ugly eyes and flat nose? Why don't you just point at someone's nose and call them ugly?"
"You're crazy." Ruan Mei glanced at Nan Yi and said angrily, "You're just staring at me. Come and develop new customers."
"I'm here, what are you doing? Eating a free meal?"
"snort."
"You just know how to throw a tantrum, and don't use your brain at all. Go get some information and see which actress is desperately trying to climb up the career ladder. Find out her name , then go to the director circle to find out what they are going to shoot. Choose a suitable play, and study the shortcomings of the actress whose name you found out. For example, if her forehead is too flat, then tell her that the reason why she has bad luck is because of her flat forehead. If she just needs to have her forehead padded, her luck will immediately improve."
Ruan Mei pouted and said, "I'm not familiar with the director circle, how can they give me face?"
"Listen to the point. I told you, regardless of the consequences. Also, not every business needs to make money. You know how to give money, right? Giving money to the director, 200,000 is not enough for 500,000, 500,000 is not enough for 1 million, and 1 million can't buy a role?"
"How much can you earn by padding your forehead? How much will you lose by giving away one million? Is this how you do business?" Ruan Mei said unconvinced.
"You looked smart when you tricked me into bed, but why are you so dumb when it comes to business? It seems I still have to call Ruoyin back to take charge of the work. When she was in her teens, she could make money just by playing.
Well, I'll still open a piano class for you. You just need to teach students to kill time. I don't expect you to make money. President Ruan, you're fired."
"Humph, you have no right to fire me. I am a shareholder, and you are not."
"Wow, your thinking is very clear when you argue with me. Think carefully about what I just said to you. If you can't figure it out, I will ask the other two shareholders to kick you out."
"Just think about it."
Ruan Mei pouted and vented her anger on the fried eggs on the plate.
Nan Yi turned a blind eye at first, ate his breakfast leisurely, and read the newspaper for a while. Then he began to comfort Ruan Mei, whose condition had improved. After a few soft words, Ruan Mei's mood also improved.
Then, Nan Yi went out and met Nan Ruoyin's secretary Shen Zhihui in a cafe.
"Meggie, have you been busy lately?"
After ordering coffee, Nan Yi didn't move and just drank the mint water.
"Not too busy."
Shen Zhihui was a little confused about why Nan Yi looked for her today. He didn't ask her to do something, but came to chat with her.
"Oh, I remember when Ruo Yin first went to the United States, you also took care of the Artist Care Fund. Why don't you get involved in the affairs there now?"
"Nansheng, I..."
Shen Zhihui didn't know what to say. She couldn't betray her boss, so she told Nan Yi that it was Nan Ruoyin who didn't allow her to interfere in the affairs of the Artist Care Fund anymore.
Nan Yi chuckled, "I won't embarrass you. I know it must be the little girl's intention. This little girl is quite cunning. Help Ruan Mei, she can't handle it alone. I will talk to the little girl."
Shen Zhihui breathed a sigh of relief, "Nansheng, I will."
Nan Yi then chatted with Shen Zhihui about some vague topics. After sitting for more than ten minutes, the two separated.
After waiting in the car for half an hour, Nan Yi estimated that Shen Zhihui had finished talking to Nan Ruoyin, so he called Nan Ruoyin, "Little girl, you are quite thoughtful."
“Not as much as Daddy.”
"I'm not old yet. It will be too late for you to become a princeling in ten years."
"Hehe, Dad, you are awesome. You got to the heart of the matter. I changed my English name to Rachel Taylor now."
"Little girl, I've taught you too much." Nan Yi said, sighing, "Do whatever you want, but Shen Zhihui needs to take care of the Artist Care Fund. I'll still be useful to you in the future."
"Yes, Sir!"
"Don't stay up late, go to bed early."
"Well, good morning, Dad."
"Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi shook his head. This girl was really cunning. If she traveled back to the ancient harem, all the concubines would be killed by her.
…
"President Du, have you selected your partners?"
In the conference room of Buer Pharmaceutical, Huangfu Ming asked Du Zhong, the vice president of business.
"CEO, we have already selected them. Lijiapo and Malaysia are from Yu Ren Tang, Vietnam is from Hua Tuo (the pronunciation of the word yao in Vietnamese is similar to Tuo, and the transliteration of pharmacy is Fang Tuo), Japan is from Xianglingtang Pharmacy, and South Korea is from Han Hospital..."
After listening to Du Zhong's report, Huangfu Ming asked, "Why is there no Xiangkeng?"
"Yes, President, I was just about to report to you that there is a suitable candidate in Xiangkeng, Red Sun, which is a chain of Chinese medicine stores that has been in business for more than 20 years and has 7 stores in Xiangkeng. The Red Sun brand is very trusted by the citizens of Xiangkeng.
Red Sun has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It has recently encountered financial crisis and its share price has been falling. We have every chance to acquire most of its shares and gain controlling rights. "
"President Du, are you sure Red Sun is suitable for us to acquire?" Huangfu Ming asked.
"Yes, I am sure of it."
Huangfu Ming: "You are very clear about the company's financial situation. We only have less than 100 million left. Not only does the research institute consume a lot of funds every day, but we also have to prepare advertising and marketing funds. We don't have much money to use at the moment."
"President, I am very familiar with the company's financial situation, so my suggestion is to report to the headquarters." Du Zhong nodded and handed over a folder, "This is the feasibility report on the acquisition that I prepared. President, you can give it to the headquarters for review."
"Okay, let's put Xiangxun aside for now. I will hand your report over to the headquarters for a decision. Go and open up channels in other regions first. Our Buer Pharmaceutical needs to have the ability to generate its own blood as soon as possible."
Du Zhong responded: "CEO, I have already made arrangements. I will fly to Lijiapo tomorrow."
After coming out of the cafe in the morning, Nan Yi went to the Information and Strategy Committee, and kept changing locations such as the conference room, cafeteria, and rooftop to sit in on the seminars and strategy meetings of various groups.
Most of the staff of the Intelligence and Policy Commission are scattered in Hong Kong and New York, and there are also branches in other important cities. Any formal meeting requires a telephone conference or video conference.
Transmission technology is improving, and video conferencing now has a real literal meaning and is no longer like a slide show, but there is still a long way to go to achieve true high definition and smoothness.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, when Nan Yi left the Information Planning Committee, he took away a Nokia 1011, which was the world's first GSM mobile phone on the market. Nan Yi was proud of it because it contained spare parts supplied by Yinhou. Nan's mobile phone parts supplier strategy had taken a solid first step.
Nan Yi carefully stroked the ugly phone, his face full of excitement, and muttered: "You can't see me, but I am everywhere. Hehe, you guys are bragging about this nation and that patriotism, but once I pinch your necks, you will all kneel down and beg for mercy."
After editing a text message that could not be sent on his mobile phone, Nan Yi put the phone on the seat, turned on the computer, and retrieved Adler's future information from the server.
The three subsidiaries of Adler Future are all big spenders. Whether it is NGL, which focuses on new energy research and development, NA Holdings, which focuses on investment in the new energy field, or NAF Mining, which focuses on acquiring new energy raw material mines, they all spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
The burden is huge, but the results are gratifying.
In terms of battery technology, NGL is the global leader and has successfully developed lithium batteries with commercial significance. Although it is half a year later than Asahi Kasei Corporation, in which NA Holdings has an investment, the two companies are heading in different directions. Tensions are already rising between the biological son and the godson, and they will soon start fighting.
There are not many people paying attention to the graphene field in the world, and there is no technology and information to refer to. NGL has started to explore from 0 to 1 in the laboratory, working hard for the birth of the first graphene battery.
In the field of lithium mining, the "lithium triangle" formed by Chile, Argentina and Bolivia, the mining rights of several large lakes rich in lithium that are economically exploitable are all in the hands of NAF Mining, which has currently proven lithium ore reserves of more than 8.2 million tons.
In Australia, Shennong Nanliang has several lithium ranches, but it doesn't raise many cattle or sheep. However, people from NAF Mining are constantly coming in and out underground. In other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Zimbabwe, Brazil, and Portugal, NAF Mining is also actively exploring and acquiring land with lithium mines.
In addition, NAF Mining is already exploring technologies for mining lithium ore in the ocean.
At a time when lithium mines have not attracted much attention, NAF has almost completed the layout of lithium mine resources and has stockpiled nearly 120,000 tons of lithium ore.
In addition, NAF Mining has also started to deploy in the fields of cobalt ore and nickel ore. In addition to Southern Grain and Chemical Storage, a "Southern Mineral Storage" strategy that has not been made public but announced is quietly unfolding.
"Nan Yi, something happened."
Nan Yi had just gotten out of the car in the garage of Fang’s Manor when Chen Yuxiu called.
Nan Yi frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"A business manager named Zhang Dongwei of the company disappeared, and along with him, the company's 2.2 million yuan in payment for goods also disappeared."
"Tell me from the beginning, in detail."
