Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1186 Nan Yi, Capital Dog
"Hello, Mr. Li, hello, Ms. Li."
Nan Yi shook hands with Li Xuelan, and then Li Lianhua.
This order was not because of the seating relationship or Li Xuelan's exclamation, but because he personally recognized Li Xuelan's value more.
There are many stories in the entertainment industry that are not out of the circle. Many people's secrets are heard by each other in the circle, but generally no one will leak them outside the circle. Even the core black material of the "enemy" is unlikely to be leaked to the paparazzi.
If you want to continue in the circle, you should know what to say and what not to say. Things that are commonplace in the circle and shocking outside the circle should not be told to outsiders. If you say them, it will be like overturning the table, and your stay in the circle will be over.
For example, a few years ago, there was a female actress who was involved in a sex tape scandal. It caused quite a stir, but it turned out to be nothing. She was the only one having fun, and no one in the circle came out to support her.
Who dares to support her? She is overturning the table and destroying everyone's rice bowl. Even the "victims" she mentioned have no one to stand up for them. They have to continue to mix in the circle. How can they mix in the circle after becoming a public enemy? Besides, even if they don't mix in the circle anymore, there are not many weirdos who are bored and take the initiative to expose their ugly deeds.
Anyway, after the top star of Red Romance has found an honest man to take over, he won't tell everyone about his glorious past. At most, he will say that the honest man was too cowardly and couldn't help but recall the fierce figure of the CEO of a listed company he served in the past. When comparing the two, he is upset by the gap and will just complain a few words.
Nan Yi hangs out everywhere, and hangs out in every circle. Now he is embarrassed to make himself too detached, saying that he is only half in the entertainment circle. How can he be called half? He is completely immersed in it, without missing a single hair. Therefore, he is well-informed about what is going on in the circle.
For example, he had also heard about Li Lianhua's promotion to power and knew that Li Xuelan played a huge role in it. If it weren't for the fact that he still owed the Wang brothers a favor for Zhao Qing'er's incident, which made him feel embarrassed to dig into Wang's Media, Li Xuelan might very well have become the president of Master's Film Company.
Li Xuelan's name was among the original candidates, but Nan Yi crossed her name out just because she worked at Wang Media.
After a few pleasantries and a comparison of the beauty of the Li sisters, Nan Yi concluded that the younger sister was more in line with his aesthetic standards. Then he and Ren Baishui got down to business, while the Li sisters stood by pretending to be long-eared rabbits.
"Xiao Ren, there is something wrong with the way you do things. The Artist Care Fund is already well-known. Many artists in Hong Kong have benefited from the fund, and its strength is well-known. In fact, the fund is indeed very strong in the investment field, and its operation method is a win-win model, using the client's money to make huge profits for the fund and the client.
This is different from other ordinary funds on the market. The returns are not high, and the risk of loss is very high. Have you read the income statements of the Artist Care Fund in previous years? "
Ren Baishui nodded.
“So, you should have confidence in the fund, and don’t think about getting influential clients first and then using them as examples to get other clients. You are a little young, and you didn’t catch up with the glory days of the supply and marketing cooperatives and non-staple food stores, but you should have heard about how powerful the tellers of these two units were at that time.
I forgot whether it was 1977 or 1976, I was growing up and craving meat. In order to eat more meat, I called the female cashier at the grocery store "godmother" and went to the "special deputy" to pretend to be a Hui Muslim to buy mutton. Every time, I would first buy two good cigarettes from the son of the factory leader.
Nan Yi patted his thigh and said, "The butcher is not stupid. The Hui Muslims who buy mutton from him are all from the same group. He knows all of them well. Otherwise, why would I buy loose cigarettes?"
[There is no such unit as special deputy. I just want to distinguish it from ordinary non-staple food stores. In the past, some non-staple food stores in Beijing sold mutton, but only Hui people could buy it openly. Others who wanted to eat a snack could buy dog meat. In the old days, dog skin was an important exchange material. Our airspace was protected by dog skin. Maybe some book friends have seen the mysterious dog-beating team in those days, especially in Shandong, Henan and Anhui, and they should remember it clearly... (No further discussion)]
"Uncle Nan, are the cigarettes still sold individually?" Li Lianhua asked curiously.
Nan Yi chuckled, "You were a good student when you were in school, right? In the early days, everyone was poor, and most of the rural sales outlets would sell loose cigarettes. In the 1980s, when the economy was liberalized, some people were more active and would split the cigarettes and sell them to students. If you go to the small shops at the entrance of the middle school and ask, you'll probably still find them selling loose cigarettes."
Ren Baishui said: "When I was in middle school, there were boys in my class who bought loose cigarettes."
Nan Yi did not extend the topic of Sanyan, "I mentioned the supply and marketing cooperatives and non-staple food stores to make you understand the relationship between supply and demand. In the first two years, the Artist Care Fund was in a buyer's market, and Ruan Mei asked people to put money into the fund.
After the start-up period, the fund enters the seller's market, and clients are begging to put their money into the fund. Although Sulai is a start-up, it is a subsidiary of the fund, so it does not need to enter the buyer's market and can directly start in the seller's market. "
Lifting the wine glass to signal to the others, he took a sip and continued, "When you first start looking for potential customers, you shouldn't target famous stars. You should look for those who were popular before but whose careers are a little murky now.
Invite him or them to put money into the fund, help them make money, and help their career, so that they can become famous again and achieve the effect of gaining both fame and fortune.
This is how a successful case should be established. As long as it is established well and firmly, you don’t need to attract customers, they will come to you for cooperation. "
Ren Baishui thought for a while and asked, "How do we establish a successful case?"
Nan Yi smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Ren, it seems that you don't have a deep understanding of yourself. You should think about why Ruan Mei offered you such a high salary to invite you to join. You don't have many years of corporate management experience, and your family doesn't have strong social connections. According to the current talent market, fresh graduates from prestigious universities with an annual salary of 100,000 can be picked at will."
"Boss Ruan said that she chose me because I'm a celebrity, I have a lot of fame, I have a lot of connections in the industry, and..." Ren Baishui paused, "I have a talent for business."
"Business elite and celebrity, these two identities can be combined to form a resounding golden signboard, taking a relatively special celebrity business path. Relying on one's fame to open a restaurant or bar is a bad idea. Fame is not used in this way."
Nan Yi shook his head. "I'll give you a few days to think about it. Based on the ideas I just mentioned, you should come up with a plan . If the plan is good, Ruan Mei will talk to you about the shares before this year's National Day. If not, according to the established plan, you have to sign up for a class and study hard. Ah, further study is a must, no matter what the plan is."
Seeing Ren Baishui lost in thought, Nan Yi turned his gaze to Li Lianhua and said in English: "Miss Li, how is your English?"
Li Lianhua was slightly startled when she heard the English. After a while, she said in fluent English: "I am currently filming a play, and the dialogues in it have to be in English. In order to play the role well, I worked hard after getting the script."
Nan Yi switched back to Chinese. “Ms. Li’s English is very good, but is too serious. She can be an English teacher or a spokesperson, but native English speakers don’t speak so formally and don’t pay too much attention to grammar. If we ask a Chinese teacher to grade our conversation, he will only give us a failing grade.
I will be launching a project soon. If you are interested, Ms. Li, you can participate. But let me make it clear first. The nominal salary is $2 million, but in reality, you will not get a penny. Not only will you work for nothing, but you will also have to pay for your own travel expenses. "
When she heard the word "dollars", Li Xuelan's eyes sparkled, "Master Nan, is the project you are talking about established in Hollywood?"
Nan Yi nodded, "It's a project with a large investment, and the budget must be 200 million. It is very likely to exceed the budget. Those Hollywood directors don't feel sorry for wasting money. Miss Li, don't worry, you can think about it slowly, and find Xiao Ren when you have thought it through. The project I mentioned is nominally related to Su Lai Company."
"Customer benefits." Ren Baishui and Li Xuelan thought of this possibility at the same time.
Ren Baishui vaguely grasped a bit of inspiration.
While the other three were thinking about their own things, Nan Yi left the partition under the pretext of going to the restroom, went outside the bar, and found Wu Kun who was watching the car.
"How many bodies appeared?"
"Seven."
"Has anyone been picked up?"
Wu Kun hesitated and said, "It's hard to be sure, but there is a high possibility that a young girl was lying on her own vomit and was taken away by a boy of similar age."
"Maybe he's an acquaintance. Someone will pick up a drunk cat, but who wants a dirty monkey?"
"Mr. Nan, this kind of thing seems to happen most easily between people who are only half-acquainted with each other."
"Oh, you have a point. Cowards like to target people around them. Perhaps they subconsciously believe that acquaintances are more likely to forgive their crimes. Our country's legal education work is still pretty good. Most people are afraid of unfamiliar labor reform. There are many people with the impulse to commit crimes, but few who actually dare to commit crimes."
"It's mainly about face, right?"
"Yes, family honor. Children don't want their parents to be ashamed because of themselves." Nan Yi teased, "Wu Kun, great, you see things more comprehensively than me. Go take the adult college entrance examination tomorrow and apply for my graduate school in the future."
"Mr. Nan, in a few years I will be able to be a grandfather."
"You can't be faster than me. I estimate that I can enjoy the company of my grandchildren in the next two years."
Nan Yi thought that Nan Youqiong was even better than him when it came to women. He estimated that his generation would rise soon, and if he hurried up, he would have a good chance of raising his grandchildren.
In the partition, Li Xuelan asked Ren Baishui, "Baishui, do you know the strength of Master Nan?"
Ren Baishui asked back, "Xue Lan, why do you call Mr. Nan Nanye?"
Li Xuelan is the vice president of a brokerage subsidiary under Wang Media. She was the one who handled Zhao Qing'er's contract, so she talked about the apprenticeship ceremony.
"I don't know much about the other things, but Mr. Nan said that he is a major shareholder of the Artist Care Fund. I believe this to be true. Our fund invests in several film and television projects in Los Angeles every year." Ren Baishui knew what Li Xuelan wanted to know and gave her the answer she wanted directly.
“White water…”
"Sister, please don't talk for now. Let me be quiet for a while." Li Xuelan interrupted Li Lianhua who was about to talk to Ren Baishui, thinking and weighing the pros and cons in her mind.
Li Lianhua could only keep silent and not quarrel with her younger sister. Her actions fully demonstrated that between the two sisters, she was the younger sister and the dominant one.
Ren Baishui paused to think about the plan and began to think about the deeper meaning of Nan Yi's olive branch to Li Lianhua, and whether it was possible to give him face...
Nan Yi stayed outside for twenty minutes before returning to the partition. No one asked him why he took so long. They just tacitly put the matter aside and focused on activities that were in line with the bar's positioning: drinking, guessing the number, and chatting.
Guess the Ding Ke, I heard that this section is very popular in bars, the rules are very simple, rock-paper-scissors, the loser has to drink a glass of wine and complete a task assigned by the winner, the mystery lies in the task, no matter how strange the task is, the loser cannot refuse for any reason.
At the beginning of the game, the four people were divided into two camps, with men and women paired together. Nan Yi and Li Xuelan were in one group, and Li Lianhua and Ren Baishui were in another group.
In the first round, spring player Nan Yi showed his gentlemanly style and let Li Xuelan represent the opponent. Naturally, the opponent sent Li Lianhua, but Li Lianhua wrapped a stone in cloth. Nan Yi remained gentlemanly and drank two cups alone, then let Li Lianhua go on a task.
Li Lianhua talked about a very exciting task, which was to find a beautiful woman in a bar and ask for her phone number. If she could kiss her, she would lose the game, and Nan Yi could also let her complete the task.
Nan Yi pretended to be excited when he received the task and hugged Li Lianhua, "Ms. Li is so generous that she allowed me to find other women to be intimate with!"
As he spoke, Nan Yi let go of Li Lianhua, exhaled exaggeratedly, sniffed like a puppy, then shook his head, picked up the ice water on the low table and rinsed his mouth. After finishing his preparations, he acted as if he was ready to die bravely, with a tragic and solemn expression, and walked out of the partition with heavy steps.
The other three came to the corner of the partition, stuck their heads out and looked at Nan Yi.
Nan Yi stopped and looked around the booths, eliminating those in large groups because too many people might cause a fight; he then eliminated those in pairs because they were just playing a game and there was no need to disturb other people's fun; he also eliminated the single men, leaving only the single ladies.
After observing for a while, Nan Yi picked out a person who was definitely single. Under the dim light, the woman had a pretty face with a hint of sadness on her face. She was probably hurt by love and was in a state of heartbreak.
Nan Yi walked up to the woman and said, "It's so boring to drink alone. If you give me a kiss on the face or I give you a kiss on the face, I will drink with you."
The woman glanced at Nan Yi, stood up decisively and kissed his left cheek, then quickly pulled away and pointed to the stool next to her.
Nan Yi sat down on the stool, added a cup, poured himself a cup of "Chivas + Green Tea", raised the cup and gestured to the woman, "Beauty, I lost the game, so I had to come over to disturb you. I thought it would take some time to talk, but I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to. I want to say sorry for my rashness and thank you for your kindness.
Excuse me, thank you, I'll toast you a glass."
The woman said nothing, but raised her glass and clinked it with Nan Yi's. Then, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Seeing the woman's throat gurgling, Nan Yi brought the rim of the cup to his mouth, sniffed the smell, took a big sip into his mouth, felt the taste, and noticed nothing unusual. His Adam's apple moved and the wine went down his throat.
Putting down the cup in his hand, Nan Yi said to the woman again: "The pain of a broken heart is often caused by overestimating oneself. As long as you look at it with a normal mind, you will find that your efforts are not so sacred. You are just enjoying the satisfaction and pleasure of being good to a person, a kind of spiritual self-touching.
The interaction between men and women is the result of primitive animality and the sense of responsibility for population reproduction engraved in their genes. In the words of Professor Nan Yi, a famous economist, interaction between men and women is also an exchange of interests, but this interest is mostly presented in the form of spiritual satisfaction.
So, beautiful ladies, just be sad for a day or two and fulfill your duty of being heartbroken. Ten thousand years is too long. Seize the day and hurry up to find the next one. Don’t worry about whether you will end up in the grave of marriage or fall into the cycle of heartbreak after being in love. Just remember that being in love is enough.
Nan Yi stood up and said, "Goodbye, I have to fight back to win a game. Don't get too drunk, stay sober, there are people picking up corpses outside."
The woman listened to Nan Yi in silence, then pointed at his cup , "You said you would drink with me."
"Beautiful lady, let me tell you one more thing. It's better to believe that there is no ghost in the world than to believe what a man says, especially in a bar." Nan Yi turned around and waved his hand, "Save the wine. When I win, I will let my defeated subordinates come and drink it."
"hurry up."
In the end, the glass of wine was drunk by someone, none other than Nan Yi himself.
Nan Yi and his friends had a lot of fun. Each task was weirder than the last, but they also maintained the bottom line among each other. For example, they took off their clothes. There was a slight breeze on the May night, and the four of them had coats, so the task would not continue if they took off their coats. Another example was that Nan Yi asked Ren Baishui to use Li Lianhua as a pole to dance on it, which provided endless jokes.
After having enough fun in the bar, a few people went to eat skewers and did not leave until after midnight.
the next day.
After Wu Kun woke up, Nan Yi asked about the situation.
Last night, in response to the woman's generosity, Nan Yi returned the favor by asking Wu Kun to look after the woman.
Wu Kun's answer was that the woman got herself completely drunk, and he picked her up, took her to a hotel that could be negotiated without registration, gave her a little more money, and the woman was thrown in the room.
Since everything was fine, Nan Yi turned around and stopped caring.
Another day passed, and Nan Yi went to the airport to pick up his daughter-in-law, Aiga Waze. After marriage, she was given her husband's surname and a Chinese name, Nan Aiga, which sounded lazy and tricky, but still elegant.
Aiga Vaze is a victim of arranged marriage. Her father entered New Delhi with the help of the circle established by the labor group, but she is also a lucky person. Nan Yi did not treat her unfairly. She has all the privileges that a high caste should have. She enjoys rights that Indian women cannot enjoy.
Yuandan did not treat her badly. The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and they were inseparable despite their race and skin color. They went through elementary school, middle school, college, and worked together. They have been together for more than ten years, and neither of them has shown any signs of getting bored.
Aiga Vaze has been pushed by Nan Yi to the position of the second-generation successor of the labor group. If nothing unexpected happens, she will become the person with both nominal and actual power in the dual group in the future. However, this future will be a bit long. Chanda Kochhar and Priyanka Sharma are both in their prime and are still some years away from retirement age.
Pick up the person, send him to the hotel, settle him down, and then take him back to the old villa.
It’s not convenient for the new daughter-in-law to stay at home when she comes for the first time. We must entertain her at home.
Nan Yi tried his best to prepare a table full of dishes - a large plate of vegetable salad, a large plate of fruit salad, and two large plates of steak. All four plates were very large, but not much food was consumed, so he went for the Michelin route.
It is only when there are fewer of them that they appear precious. If each person has a can of caviar, then it does not seem precious. It only means that the person’s profession is not right. If he is not smuggling, then he is a drug dealer.
While Nan Yi was still busy in the kitchen, Ai Jia, who was forced to sit in the living room and watch TV, had already taken a thorough look around the living room and the yard. She had never expected that her father-in-law would live in such a shabby house, which was cramped and small, with no servants and had to do everything by himself.
The furnishings were very simple, with a dining table, coffee table, sofa, and a tall altar? On it were a clock, candlesticks, thermos, and coasters. Except for the candlesticks, the other furnishings were half covered with brightly colored dust covers with the word "囍" embroidered on them.
Ai Jia knew the Chinese character for "囍" and had seen all the ornaments in Chinese TV dramas from the 1980s. If she guessed correctly, this was bought by her father-in-law when he got married, and it had the same age as the wedding photos hanging on the wall.
The photo frames, kitten discs, and award certificates on the wall are all things from that era. If it weren't for the strong sense of modern technology on the electrical appliances, she would really doubt that this house had been frozen for more than twenty years.
The same is true in the yard, the objects piled in every corner are all old.
In Peacock Villa, the houses where the servants live are better than here. Is this what my father-in-law means by being low-key?
Are you sure you're not practicing asceticism?
At the dinner table, she asked her own questions.
"Haha, Aija, this house is now worth 60 million rupees, and it may rise to 600 million or even more in the future. This place cannot be compared with Peacock Villa, but it is definitely not shabby. The earliest owner was in the same era as Tagore and was also a master in a field.
There is a humanistic sentiment here, and there is also a Feng Shui theory. The people who have lived here have at least graduate degrees from prestigious universities. If the house is to be sold, this alone is worth at least 600 million rupees. In addition, 80% of the people who have lived here are wealthy, which may be worth 1.2 billion rupees. "
"But, Dad, are you comfortable living here?"
"At least for now, our family has the most houses in the world. I have countless choices of where to live. Since I choose to live here, it is naturally because I like it." Nan Yi shrugged, "You don't have to worry about me living uncomfortable here. There is no need for that."
"OK." Aija smiled, "I want to enjoy the food. I am probably the first Indian woman who can enjoy the food made by my father-in-law."
“You ate the food I cooked when you were a child.”
"no the same."
"Well, let's get started."
After the meal, Nan Yi brewed some Lansala Oolong tea, and the two sat in the yard and began to talk about Jingxi Yigoo.
"Jingxi Yiguo's biggest competitors are Guangyu Electric and Jindong Electric. So far, it has not come into direct combat with Jindong Electric, but it is incompatible with Guangyu Electric. It is being suppressed by Guangyu Electric and has little ability to resist.
Guangyu Electric's most powerful weapon is its huge cash flow. Through IPO fundraising and low-price promotion strategies, it has tens of billions of RMB in funds circulating. You must find a way to restrain this advantage."
"Dad, I've read the information before coming here. According to the information, when Guangyu Electric was raising funds, Baishui Investment and PY Securities both provided great help. These two companies seem to be owned by Nan's, right?"
"There is no doubt that our family is one of the shareholders of Guangyu Electric Appliances, and a major shareholder." Nan Yi said with a faint smile.
"Why?" Aiga exclaimed.
"Why join forces with outsiders to fight against you?"
Aija gave him a look that said "you're right".
"It's very simple. Cash out, muddy the water, short sell through securities lending, muddy the water again, buy at a low price, be the white knight, push up the stock price, sell both sides, and retreat quietly." Nan Yi patted the back of Ai Jia's hand. "This time, you will act as the representative of Bombay BSE Capital. If you can't remain hidden throughout the process, you will be the villain heroine, and I will pair you with a London villain hero."
