Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1199 Napoleon Alumni
After returning to the capital, Nan Yi ran into Lao Zhang, who was busy with the opening ceremony of the Olympics. They chatted for a while and asked him favor - to invite Zhao Qing'er to play the female lead in the next play. Zhao Qing'er knew that her acting skills were too immature and she was afraid of ruining Director Zhang's masterpiece, so she politely declined and continued to hone her acting skills in the hope of making a breakthrough in the future.
To express their apology, Master Pictures can take some actions, but the specific actions are yet to be determined. In the end, they can praise Lao Zhang and bring some popularity to Zhao Qing'er, playing the card of being motivated, calm, honest, and not arrogant, so as to win back some audience favor.
After attending the last class of the semester at school, teaching came to a temporary end. Nan Yi then attended several meetings in succession, but they were all meaningless. He just had to sit in the meeting room with a cup of tea. He had no chance to speak, and would not be called on. He could focus his attention on his nose and his heart through his nose, and concentrate for half a minute to grasp the key points, and spend the rest of the time wandering around.
"My fellow villager, can I have a glass of water?"
One day, Nan Yi was enjoying the cool air under the eaves of the door when Nan Wuwei, dressed in a white military uniform, appeared in front of him.
Nan Yi saw Nan Wuwei's military uniform and immediately stood up and asked, "Why didn't you call before coming back? Why are you wearing a military uniform and coming to Beijing on business?"
Nan Wuwei took off his hat and held it in his hand, then pushed Nan Yi's thigh and made room for him to sit down. "It's business, but it's not business either. I'm here for a transfer. I'll come back and visit when I have time."
"Where are you going?"
Nan Yi stared at Nan Wuwei, examining him carefully from head to toe, fearing that there might be some flesh or skin missing.
Nan Wuwei said jokingly : "Napoleon wrote me a letter and asked me to become his schoolmate."
"Napoleon alumni?" Nan Yi's eyes lit up. "What academy is the Third Army?"
"I'm going to study at the French Armed Forces Defense College for a year and a half."
Hearing this, Nan Yi's eyebrows lit up with joy. He wanted to touch Nan Wuwei's head, but he felt it was inappropriate. He also felt it was inappropriate to pat his shoulder. He was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands. "Good boy, you have made progress. You have really made progress. When you come back from studying abroad, you should be able to make 21 cents, right?"
"Lao Nan, you can't be so vulgar. My ideal is to let every drop of my blood flow into the sea of the motherland. I don't value military rank. I just want to become the captain of an aircraft carrier in fifteen years, or at most twenty years." Nan Wuwei said seriously.
"You little bastard, you're still pretending in front of me." Nan Yi wiped his eyes, "How long can you stay at home?"
"160 minutes."
"Wait, I'll make you some noodles."
Nan Yi rushed into the kitchen, quickly made a bowl of noodles, sat around the table, watched Nan Wuwei eat noodles while chatting, and after the meal, he personally drove him to the airport.
For him, Nan Wuwei's study abroad in France did not mean separation. Instead, it made it more convenient for him to visit her. As long as he wanted, he could fly over and see her once a week. Therefore, he did not feel too much pain of separation this time.
On the other hand, the two Zhangs, one Sun and Ai Jia met at the farm house they ran in Nanchen Village a few days later. After some trial and error, they quickly finalized a cooperation plan for Jindong Electric Appliance and Jingxi Tesco to promote Volkswagen Electric Appliances - if the price was above Boss Zhang's psychological price (super high price) of 3.4 billion, the excess would be divided equally between Zhang Ning and Liuzi, 50%.
This is a tripartite cooperation agreement. How Liuzi and Zhang Ning will work together to attack Huang Gomei will have to wait until the Volkswagen Electric Appliances incident is resolved before deciding.
Abu Dhabi.
Rachel, president of Pan American Investments, signed her name in the signature column of the contract, then shook hands with Khalifa Zayed, chairman of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and faced the flash cameras.
Previously, Nan Youqiong had a close relationship with Mokarab of Mubadala, the Abu Dhabi sovereign fund. Mubadala is a sovereign fund. The word sovereign means that it is a state-owned fund. Since it is state-owned, it is naturally affiliated to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, which manages the entire Abu Dhabi state-owned assets investment.
With the help of Mokarab, Nan Youqiong met with Zayed several times. After several discussions, the two sides reached an intention for strategic cooperation. From the date of signing the contract, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, with Mubadala Sovereign Fund as the main representative, cooperated with Pan American Investment Holdings and Scarlett Fund, which was not shown in the contract, in investments in Asia.
Zayed was very optimistic about Pan American Investments' prudent investment over the past two decades and the strong profitability of Scarlett Fund, and hoped that Abu Dhabi Investment Authority would absorb some excellent investment strategies. Therefore, the details of the cooperation were long, but the core was two "mutuals" - mutual support and sharing of what they had.
For Nan, the US dollars of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority are black with black oil flowing on them. The funds have added value, and when it comes to project negotiations, he has an extra oil card to play.
This card was soon passed to Nan Ruoyin. The SC investment team temporarily stopped the investigation and met with the team sent by Mubadala in Beijing. The two teams negotiated and coordinated with each other, and the two sides cooperated to jointly implement the investment plan in China.
Just when Nan Ruoyin was feeling lucky that she could go to the old house and pretend to be the Buddha and enjoy Nan Yi's doting after the adjustment period, unfortunately, the funds applied by Nan Yi arrived, his project was officially launched, and he had already gone to a store for inspection.
Yipandian Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has an altitude of more than 2,400 meters. There are 147 households in the village with a population of less than 700. Last year, the per capita net income was less than 1,100 yuan. The village can only rely on a spring in the mountains for water. In bad weather, it takes two or three hours to fetch water.
There is no decent road or mechanized farming road from the county town to the village. To leave the village, villagers can only walk on foot along the 37-kilometer mountain road...
Liu Zhen gave Nan Yi very little information , but it was enough for him to sketch out the poverty of the store.
On the bare, yellow-earthed mountain path, Nan Yi and Miao Xiaolan, dressed like hikers, walked step by step in the mud, slowly up a hillside.
They were unlucky as there had been a heavy rain in this area two days ago. The extremely sticky yellow soil stuck to their trouser legs and shoes, adding more than ten pounds of weight to the two of them. Fortunately, they were both martial artists and had been exercising regularly. They walked unsteadily but steadily without slipping or falling. The cleanliness of their upper bodies and the dirt on their lower bodies formed a sharp contrast.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Nan Yi scraped off the mud on his body with a knife, then took out a telescope and looked around.
Miao Xiaolan was also not idle. She found a pool of water that looked relatively clean, took a bottle and filled it half with water and put it away. Then she took out another bottle and filled it half with water using the osmosis filtration method, added water purification tablets and shook it, then let it aside and wait for it to slowly settle.
After observing for a while, Nan Yi picked up a crabgrass and pulled it up by the roots. He pinched a handful of mud and licked it with his tongue. The mud didn't smell strong, nor did it have the peculiar pungent smell of fertile soil in farmland. The land was a bit barren.
He took some soil samples and shook off the mud on the crabgrass. He broke off a piece of grass root and stem and put them in his mouth to chew, savoring the bitter taste.
After doing all this, Nan Yi took out the engineer shovel and twisted it into a hoe shape. He picked a piece of dense grass and hoeed here and there nearby. After a long time, he did not see the earthworms he wanted to see, but he did dig up a nest of Caucasian black ants.
Seeing the ants, Nan Yi stopped digging here and there and started digging downwards. After digging for nearly a meter, he finally dug out a piece of limestone he wanted. He used the knife and shovel together to knock a piece of stone core off the big rock, held it in his hand and observed it for a while, then touched it lightly with the tip of his tongue.
"Pah, pah, pah."
Spitting out the mud on the tip of his tongue, Nan Yi looked at the wet mark on the stone core with a little disappointment. With his idle hand, he took out a special mechanical timer from his chest, pressed the switch, and time started to move.
This is a folk remedy that Nan Yi learned from Qin Xianmang, a member of the Chuanghairen band. It was summarized by his father after decades of geological exploration work.
If the wet mark disappears quickly, it means that the stone has a coarse grain structure and the underground water content is relatively rich; if the wet mark disappears slowly, it means that the grain structure is dense and the water content is relatively low; at the same time, if the mud content is relatively high, it will stick to your tongue, which means that the water content is extremely low.
Nan Yi's sampling was not rigorous enough and could not accurately reflect the local groundwater conditions, but he did not need overly rigorous results, as long as he had a rough judgment.
Along the way, he has judged the fertility of the local land through various means such as soil color, depth of the tillage layer, soil suitability, slurry and cracks, plant species, animal species, etc. The overall situation is not optimistic, but not pessimistic either.
"Sir, the water tastes a bit bitter and a bit salty." After tasting the purified water, Miao Xiaolan came to Nan Yi to report.
"Give it to me." Nan Yi took the water bottle from Miao Xiaolan, took a sip, and savored it carefully. "It's okay, not too hard."
Miao Xiaolan reminded: "This is rainwater, not groundwater."
"I know that turning bitter water into sweet water is not technically difficult, but the difficulty lies in the high cost." Nan Yi looked up at the sky. "There are still dark clouds in the sky, and it will rain soon. When I get into the village, I will ask a few old people about the rainfall in the past few decades. As long as the rainfall is acceptable, I should be able to make a little money from my investment here."
"Sir, the success or failure of doing things in the countryside depends mainly on people."
Nan Yi lowered his head and looked at Miao Xiaolan, smiling, "As for my understanding of the countryside, I know it better than most people, and I know the simplicity and bad habits of farmers. Before coming here, I had already made plans for the worst, and I hope that I will see more of the simple side . Let's go, and find a place to set up camp on the next hill."
The road was too muddy, and they didn't want to flee. There was no need for Nan Yi and the others to hurry. They planned to complete the 37 kilometers in two days.
Continuing on their journey, the two spent more than two hours reaching another hilltop, where they found a flat open space that would not be struck by lightning, cleared a piece of land, set up the tent and hammered in the ground nails, took out outdoor cooking utensils, and made some simple hot meals.
When outdoors, it is very important to conserve body heat, both in terms of calories and heat. Eat hot food instead of cold food.
