Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1184 Are you threatening me?
When he received the call, Nan Yi was sitting with his sixth son, Sun Changzheng. It was the other party who was looking for him, but the reason had not been mentioned yet.
It was most likely because of business matters. Ever since Liuzi got married and had a wife, Su Kongqing, all the interpersonal relationships were handled by this virtuous wife. They have been married for eight years, and Nan Yi has been accepting gifts on festivals for eight years, and he has been greeting Su Kongqing for eight years.
As for Liuzi, Nan Yi could no longer remember the last time the two of them sat together.
"Many years ago, I met a wonderful man on a train. He was almost 45 years old at the time and had four sons and three daughters, but he went to Huiji Temple in Putuo Mountain every year to worship Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbearing.
The day I met him, he had just returned from Mount Putuo. I was very curious and asked him, "You already have many children and are blessed with many blessings, why do you still worship Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth?"
Guess what he said..."
Nan Yi kept the mystery to himself and answered the question himself, "He said that it was very difficult for his wife to get pregnant with their first child. She went to Huiji Zen Temple and worshipped Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, and only then did she get pregnant. He goes to Putuo Mountain every year, both to fulfill his vow and to pray for children.
At that time, his oldest child was only fourteen years old, and the youngest was still in swaddling clothes. I laughed to myself when I heard this. This wonderful man was so impatient. His own children were still children, yet he was in a hurry to have children, and he went every year.
Nan Yi shook his head and said apologetically, "I'm retired now. I don't care about business anymore. I just throw away my knowledge and do some small business according to my own preferences. I'm a little anxious because I'm idle. No matter who I catch, I like to talk nonsense. Come on, I won't say anything. Liuzi, tell me what you want from me."
Liuzi started his business in 1980 and took over Jingxi Yiguo in 1984. He was a smart man from the beginning and not an ordinary person. He had been in business for many years and had an MBA. How could he not understand the warning in Nan Yi's words?
He admitted that he was a little too proud. He was in charge of a business empire with a market value of billions, and more than 200,000 employees depended on him for their livelihood. He could be said to be a big shot in the electrical appliance retail industry. Anyone would be too proud.
As the king of a country, he felt uncomfortable and uneasy when he had to bow down and call others "master". Because of this, in the past few years, he didn't like to see Nan Yi very much, and even didn't want to hear this name. He really didn't want to recall his past of flattery.
But today he had to come to see Nan Yi. Jingxi Yiguo was in big trouble. Without external help, it might not be able to overcome this hurdle. If he had to find external help, it would naturally be most appropriate to look for his former close partners.
After thinking it over for a while, Liuzi finally said, "Master Nan, Jingxi Yiguo is about to go bankrupt."
"Oh." Nan Yi said noncommittally: "You should have some personal funds in these years, right? About 500 million or 600 million?"
Liuzi answered truthfully, "Not that much, only about 300 million."
"If I sell Jingxi Yiguo now, I should still have some money left, right?"
"Jingxi Yiguo's debt ratio is not high. If it is sold, we can take away at least 1.4 billion yuan in cash."
Nan Yi nodded. "I have heard about the trends in the electrical appliance retail industry, and I can roughly guess the troubles that Jingxi Yiguo has encountered. You have enough funds to be financially independent, and you will be even richer after liquidation. Although we have brotherhood between us, it seems a bit inappropriate to talk about friendship. Let's talk about business."
Hearing this, Liuzi was a little disappointed. He probably lost the brotherhood.
"Master Nan, how should we talk about this?"
"There is an Indian consulting company called TCS, which is very good at solving the difficulties faced by companies when faced with competition. Its president is Aiga Vaze. I will give you her contact information. With her help, you should be able to overcome this hurdle."
Nan Yi picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all, then stood up and said, "TCS charges a lot. It's up to you to decide whether to accept its help. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Nan Yi was not in a hurry to take up his new position at Su Lai Company. A small business deal could not change his plan to accompany his daughter. On that day, he sat at the Wonderful Store in Central, drinking Coke and eating French fries, watching his daughter deal with a so-called scout.
Hong Kong entertainment is finished. Even A Xiang has gone to the mainland to make a lot of money. Not to mention the talent scout industry which was once glorious and had several legendary stories but has always been on the margins.
Most of the talent scouts wandering the streets today are not the serious people in the industry as in the past. They either trick ignorant women and children into signing unequal contracts, causing them to incur huge debts and be forced to take clients and shoot third-level films. Or they are "formal" talent agencies that train third-level stars. They do not engage in fraud and are honest. They put everything on the table and know everything before signing the contract.
Nan Yi sat and watched Nan Ruoqi deal with it on her own, without any intention of interfering. A beautiful woman or a handsome man could easily become the protagonist of the opposite sex's erotic dream. His own beautiful daughter would definitely be coveted by others. He couldn't get angry enough, and he couldn't just take drastic action before things developed in a direction of collapse.
Some annoying things still need to be dealt with by Nan Ruoqi herself.
The legal provisions and judgment standards related to fighting, wounding, etc. are compulsory enlightenment courses for the Nan family. Taking care of one's own reputation is written into the family motto. Even if one has the idea of killing the other party's entire family, one still cannot forget the polite words - please take the bullet; I'm sorry, the caliber is a bit large and the body cannot be intact; on behalf of the Light of Life, the medical support group of the Information and Planning Commission, thank you for your donated kidney, Amen.
"Miss, you are very beautiful and have the potential to become a star. As long as you join our company and go through a period of training, you can also become a popular actress like Christine, drive a sports car, live in a mansion, and eat double-headed abalone every meal..."
The scout's words were very pleasant to the ear. Nan Ruoqi was busy with her work while listening with great interest. When she heard the name "Christine", she couldn't help but ask, "Is the Christine you are talking about the female star who was slapped in the face and scolded at the COVA restaurant in Causeway Bay, and who dared not say anything afterwards and could only keep quiet?"
Nan Ruoqi's rapid fire made the scout very embarrassed. He secretly blamed himself for choosing the wrong "role model". However, the pretty girl in front of him was really good, so he had to try again.
"The woman who beat her is a rich lady. There are very few women like her. Once you become a female star, you can walk around most places in Hong Kong Island. You don't need to work here. There will be seven or eight servants to serve you."
Nan Ruoqi smiled and said, "So good?"
"Of course, otherwise not everyone would want to be a star."
The scout thought there was a chance and was preparing to make further efforts, but at this time a new customer came to Nan Ruoqi's window to order food.
"Mr. Scout, please move aside and don't block the customers from ordering food. Thank you." Nan Ruoqi said politely to the scout. After waiting for him to move aside, she turned to the customers and asked what they would like to order.
After the customer ordered his food and left, the scout returned to his original position and continued to use his method of bewitching. Nan Ruoqi still did not take it as an offense and responded with a smile, occasionally responding.
It was not until the right time came and there were too many customers to continue the conversation that she said to the scout, "Mr. Scout, you don't have to waste your time here. I won't be your target. Please leave."
Having run out of ideas, the already angry scout slammed the ordering counter and said angrily, "You bitch, are you kidding me? We'll meet again, so be careful when you go out."
"You threaten me?"
Nan Ruoqi still had a smile on her face.
