Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1204 I sucked out the pus from Mr. Wu
All the way, I listened to Dagang's introduction to the changes in the city and was unknowingly dragged by him to Zhaogong Hall, which is what the locals call it. Educated people from other places generally call it a comprehensive market, while uneducated people like Nan Yi call it "not mine."
I entered the market and took a quick look at the vegetable area. Then I came to the meat stall, passed the stall with the best location, stopped in front of the stall near the corner, looked up at the "Lao Xue" sign, and then looked at the two clearly divided camps on the counter. On one side were the good stuff such as ribs and pork belly, and on the other side were the offal, mainly the bad stuff shaved off from the lymph meat and lard.
After seeing the scenery clearly on the stall, Nan Yi stepped back far away and stopped in a remote location with a poor view of the stall. He leaned against the wall and scanned the mainly green vegetables from left to right and from right to left, looking at the mostly women buyers, his eyes lingering on Lao Xue's stall from time to time.
After half an hour, Dagang couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Brother, what are you looking at?"
"Beauty."
"What kind of beauties can you see in the market? They are all old ladies. Brother, if you want to see beauties, I will take you to a place full of beauties."
"Beauty is not about appearance, but about heart. Those you mentioned are probably thinking of taking money out of my pocket. The beauties I mentioned are those who only want to give me money. I told you I'm a vegetable seller, and these ladies are the beauties in my eyes. I'll go see the beauties you mentioned in the evening. Where can I have fun now?"
"Xiao Hong, in the Rumble Zone, there is a lead dancer named Da Mudan, she is amazing, her head can shake all the time, all night long."
"Shaking all night?" Nan Yi asked in surprise, "Are you on drugs?"
Dagang laughed awkwardly, "It's an exaggeration, but Xiaohong is really fun, young people love it, there are other places like True Love and Night Never Ends that are almost as fun."
Nan Yi glanced at Dagang's face, then lowered his gaze to look at the gold chain weighing about 150 grams around his neck, and the white and black striped T-shirt with three letters on his chest that flashed, probably night lights, "You look very young in this outfit. People would believe you were 18."
When talking about clothes, Dagang instantly got excited. He pinched the corner of his T-shirt and shook it. "Brother, EXR, a Korean brand, more than 800 yuan a piece. Look at these three letters. They will flash when you shake them at night. Jeans, Levis. Shoes, Onitsuka Tiger. It's fashionable in Fengtian now. It's very stylish."
"I'm on a different wavelength from you. I just like simple outfits." Nan Yi shook his head and glanced at Lao Xue's stall. "What do you call those who like to shake their heads?"
"Most people call him Hiren'er, but now some people also call him Xiaoyaozi."
"There are pills for ecstasy, what's popular here?"
"There are no pills. There are Xiao Bai Gai'er, Ke Fei, Xiao Er, Xiao Tai, etc. They are not too strong and will go away overnight."
Nan Yi frowned, "It's a nice name, you won't touch this thing too, right?"
Dagang denied it flatly, "I'm not a young man, how could I touch these things? I just like to eat two chicken necks and then put a towel on my neck and shake it inside, sweat a lot and then take a bath, it's so comfortable."
"oh."
Nan Yi responded and stopped talking about the nightclub. Instead, he asked about the business in Fengtian.
The two chatted idly until most of the stalls in the market started to close. Dagang then took Nan Yi to Marriott to eat a standard wedding banquet meal, ordering dishes according to the standard price of 1,599 per table.
After dinner, Dagang came to his senses and did not take Nan Yi to any less decent entertainment venues. Instead, he went to Qiangui. He called a few decent women who were not so decent but could sing, and asked them to sing a few songs with him. Then they went to have a midnight snack and drink some more. It was almost time to go back to sleep.
Early the next morning, Nan Yi went to the vegetable market near the workers' village and stayed there for two hours. The leftover meat on Lao Xue's stall was the same as yesterday, with not many people interested in it. He knew that the leftover meat should be eliminated from history.
Selling leftover meat does not mean that Nan Yi has no conscience. On the contrary, it is because he is compassionate that he takes out half of the meat to sell lard and lymph meat at Lao Xue's stall.
Some things have been spread as a result of rumors, saying that lard and lymph meat cannot be eaten. This statement is similar to the saying that no one is a good person. It is a statement without any dialectical thinking. Just as people are divided into good and bad, meat is also divided into good and bad. Some lymph meat can be eaten, while some cannot. The lymph meat sold by Lao Xue is definitely edible.
Although eating too much of this kind of meat is not good for people, it can definitely satisfy your craving and replenish oil and water.
What's more, Lao Xue sells lymph meat and lard at a loss, and has to rely on good meat to make up for the losses. The purpose of doing so is simple, it is to prevent laid-off families in trouble from having to go without the taste of meat for several months. A pound of lymph meat costs 20 to 50 cents depending on the quality of the meat, which is not much more expensive than potatoes, so you can afford it without grit your teeth.
To be honest, the transportation costs of transporting these meats from outside to Fengtian, the space occupied, and the delay in selling the good meat all add up to a loss of 1.5 cents per pound of meat. If the meat is not sold but given away directly, and the stall focuses on selling the good meat, the loss can be reduced.
But we can't give it away. We have all been respectable people. If we eat food given out of pity, our backbone will be broken. Besides, not many families are so poor that they can't afford to eat. It's just that they can't afford to eat well, and after the comparison, they feel a heavy sense of loss.
Now, no one buys the leftover meat, so this loss-making business can be closed. Lao Xue's business here is very difficult. He either loses money on the leftover meat, potatoes, and cabbage or only makes 7 or 8 cents per pound of vegetables. This is the profit when things are going well. If the loss is a little bit greater, he will immediately face losses.
After finding a place to have breakfast, he went back to Chenlu Pavilion to wash up and waited for Dagang, who had woken up late, to come over. Nan Yi asked him to take him to visit the real estate developments in various districts. Near dusk, he went to the subway construction site to gossip about the subway construction progress.
At dinner time, with Dagang's eyes eager to follow him, he walked into the residential area where Wu Renpin lived.
He exchanged some simple greetings with Wu Meifeng, and then joined Wu Meifeng in teasing Wu Renpin in the same way. While Wu Meifeng was cooking, Nan Yi first put some eye drops on Wu Renpin and told him about the little white lid that Dagang had mentioned.
After hearing this, Wu Renpin angrily said, "This is simply lawless. We must investigate it thoroughly."
"I think the punishment should be severe and strict. Those who deserve to be executed must be executed, those who can be executed should be executed, those who are not worthy of being executed should be investigated more deeply and more thought should be put into it. Those who can be executed should be executed, and those whose sentences are flexible should be longer if possible. Those who are not worthy of being sentenced should have their files kept. If these guys are let off lightly, it will be a shame for those police numbers that have been sealed."
"Nan Yi, you are too murderous. Mistakes can be minor or major. For minor ones, education should be the main approach to saving them. How can you just think of killing them and let it go?"
"Don't meddle in matters that are not your business. I just said that casually because I have nothing to worry about." Nan Yi said with a bitter smile.
"What are you here for this time?"
"Come over to check on Meifeng and Qiying's retirement life, and learn from them and absorb some experience of being a grandparent."
Hearing this, Wu Renpin's face darkened. "I haven't seen my grandson for almost three months. The brat was only busy with business and didn't bring his grandson back to visit more often. I raised this son in vain."
"Don't be so gullible. Xiaowei is a good guy. He didn't rely on your help. He did everything by himself. When he encountered problems, he didn't ask you to do anything to make things difficult for him. He just went to Uncle Nan. Tsk tsk, your family education is too good."
Wu Renpin laughed and said, "Are you here to settle accounts with me?"
"It's bullshit. Xiaowei doesn't owe me anything, but you do. I'm telling you, I came here to understand the situation. My grandma is in good health and can live another 20 to 30 years. I can't let her live on and lose her money."
“What were those investments back then?”
"What else could it be? Fang Group wants to sell its shares, and I prefer not to get involved. It's up to you."
Wu Renpin pondered for a while and said, "The companies that Fang Group has invested in have good performance and have dividends every year. Why are you thinking of selling them?"
"You look at things from a different angle than I do. The benefits you mentioned are mainly social benefits, while I pursue economic benefits. In fact, so far, for me, both public spirit and private spirit are not good enough. Speaking of public spirit, I have not saved many jobs, not even as many as the laid-off workers benefited by Dongqing International.
Yes, it was not a good idea to organize laid-off workers to set up stalls in other places. They made money and spent it locally, with only a small portion brought back to Fengtian. But it did help them get through the difficult times, and some even made them rich.
Speaking of selfish motives, if the funds from those investments had been placed in the south as a bridge, even without considering Liu Zhen, with my connections in the bank, the value of the funds could have easily increased by more than 40% in a year. Based on the not-so-large amount of funds at the beginning, after deducting the impact of some additional factors, the value of the funds could have been at least 30 times by now.
Even if I use it to buy government bonds, I can still make a profit. So, although I haven't visited the company yet, I am inclined to withdraw my investment. It's tiring if I don't make money. In order not to embarrass you, I can lower the price of the shares and coordinate the pace with you."
After hearing Nan Yi's last words, Wu Renpin breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Thank you, I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."
Nan Yi waved his hand. "I'm not in a difficult situation. I didn't expect to make money before investing. Let me talk about something else. The land of Xinghua Paper Mill is ready to be used. Social responsibilities should be fulfilled as much as possible. I don't plan to make a penny. Just leave me one-third of the land and let me develop it into a building within a building."
“Can it be built into resettlement housing?”
Nan Yi flatly refused, "No, the neighbors are one of the supporting facilities of the community. The resettlement housing is too cheap. The minimum I can accept is low-rent housing or affordable housing."
“Is there any difference?”
"Don't tell me that I can't get in touch with the ground at all now. Do you have no idea whether there is a difference or not? Don't pretend to be deceived by me whether there is an outsider or not. We all came from throwing urine and carrying manure. If I say that the wheat yield per mu is 100,000 catties, you will believe it if you have no evil intention."
Wu Renpin's face darkened, "Why are you still talking so frivolously?"
Nan Yi chuckled, "How about I go to the door again and do the eighth set of flattery exercises for you? Mr. Wu, there is a boil on your butt. Stick it out and I will suck it out for you... Slurp, it smells really good, Mr. Wu, your boil is as thick as nectar..."
"It's almost done." Wu Renpin's face was as black as ink.
"Okay, let's talk nicely." Nan Yi's face suddenly became serious. "Land finance is the general trend. In the past, people ate soil when they were poor, but now people can get rich only by eating soil. Leader Wu, when local finances are prosperous, you must also protect the real estate companies that have the people in their hearts. Please help give a heads-up to the bank, so that they don't force my real estate company to take out a loan."
Wu Renpin sneered, "Are you saying the opposite of what you mean?"
"Do you need it?"
"In the past few years, you have acquired a lot of land." Wu Renpin took out a cigarette box and gave one to Nan Yi.
Nan Yi glared at Wu Renpin, then shook his head, "It wasn't my idea."
Wu Renpin ignored Nan Yi's glare, lit up a cigarette for himself, took a puff and said, "Nan Ruoqiong's last name is also Nan, but you can't write two Nan characters with one stroke, right? I wanted to quit smoking back then, but it's all your fault that I couldn't quit."
Nan Yi flicked the cigarette on the table aside and said, "Don't bring up the past. The truth is that you can't afford it, not that you want to quit. I didn't say I didn't admit it, but it was really not my idea to take the land. The business environment in Fengtian is not as good as that in Yangcheng and Shanghai.
The foreseeable development space and profit space are also not as good. Ruo Qiong can also think of these, but from her point of view, the previous investment failed, and she needs to make up for it on the spot. "
Wu Renpin flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "Nan Ruoqiong and Ruoyin are both your goddaughters, right?"
"You can't write two characters for South with one stroke."
"That's interesting. Her stance is inconsistent with yours?"
“When will the leadership team’s position be consistent with the leadership’s position?”
Wu Renpin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your metaphor, ah..."
"There are no parties outside the party, and the emperor's thinking is the same. There are no factions within the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. Everyone has their own little calculations, and the family has their own little thoughts. No one has reached the level of fasting. Everyone has to eat grains. It's not surprising that they have their own little standpoints."
"How many adopted children have you adopted to give you this kind of insight?"
Nan Yi waved his hand, "Stop, this is not a chaotic world, and I am not Zhu Yuanzhang. It's not as weird as you think. The ones I adopted are not adopted children, but godchildren. It's fate that we met, and I happen to have the ability to raise more children. It's that simple."
"You, you kept my words to yourself, which spoiled the fun for me."
"Why, do you want me to put aside our friendship as classmates and talk to you from the perspective of your secretary?" Nan Yi said with a half-smile, "Don't pretend, I'm at home. I'll call my sister-in-law over to help you."
Wu Renpin seemed to understand something, and chuckled, "Don't talk about business at home. There is still half a bottle of wine you asked someone to send over last time. Let's finish it today."
"Half a bottle is enough, it's too nutritious, I can only have a small drink."
"Are you feeling bad? Afraid that I'll ask you for more?"
"There's nothing to feel sad about. Tigers can be legally bred in many countries. I have about 700 to 800 tigers raised in captivity, free-range, or in the wild. I can kill one at any time to make wine." Nan Yi said indifferently.
Back then, Nan Yi didn't come to his senses and asked Men San'er to collect tiger bone wine. Later, he accidentally heard a rumor that someone was raising tigers in New York, and then he realized that these creatures could be raised. Now, a good business has come.
As a result, Nan Yi gained the title of the King of Trouble, and Wuwai also had a flagship product, the Palace Jade Liquor, which was sold at a price of only 18,000 yuan per cup. It was never told to the outside world that it was tiger bone wine, but only that it was a very good tonic wine, absolutely worth the money, and had unexpected aphrodisiac effects.
Most rich people value their lives, so some would always look for someone who knows before drinking. The news of tiger bone wine spread quickly. One cup costs 18,000 yuan, and a bottle contains ten cups, which is exactly one kilogram. The shipment volume is controlled, and the supply has always been in short supply. No one has ever leaked the news, so Emma's prepared series of back-up plans are useless.
"Tigers still walk on the ground, but the king of the forest has turned into chickens, ducks and geese in your place?"
"They are worse than chickens, ducks and geese. They eat a lot but are slow to be slaughtered."
The two chatted for a while, but stopped talking when they heard Wu Meifeng calling for dinner.
At the dinner table, Wu Renpin suggested that Nan Ruoqiong come over for a talk through formal channels, and Nan Yi readily agreed.
The next day, Nan Yi went to visit Guan Youjie, who had risen rapidly from being the director of the CNC workshop at the Friendship Factory to becoming the general manager of the entire Northeast Machine Tool Company.
When he saw Guan Youjie again, he did not have a very good impression of him. He still remembered that Guan Youjie had the lofty ideal of striving for the rise of the country's machine tool industry all his life, and he was also innocent, raw and vigorous.
Now, those factors that once made Nan Yi take out money have disappeared, and instead, a deliberately slowed down speaking speed, as well as the logic and skills between words, have shown that Guan Youjie has become a businessman, and Nan Yi's impartiality is hopeless.
I listened patiently to the other party's plan to develop an intelligent machine tool that could define the future of world industry, and I thought it was bullshit.
After a halfhearted conversation, he politely declined the other party's invitation to stay for dinner and found a small restaurant not far from the Northeast Machine Tool Factory to have lunch. Then he returned to Chenlu Pavilion and thought for a long time. Finally, he decided to continue his dream of making machine tools, but this time he planned to do it alone.
Just like what Huayi Chip did, it organized a group of people to be sent abroad to learn from the most basic and go through the process from zero to one.
However, the environment today is not as good as it was in the past. It is not as easy as before to learn something. The return rate of people released will not be as high as before. Nan Yi no longer has the abundant resources it did before. There are too many things to worry about. It is better to trick a passionate young man back first.
"Let's wait for the opportunity. Things have to happen one by one." Sitting in front of the windowsill, Nan Yi muttered silently.
After two days, Nan Yi indirectly learned about the situations of several other companies and had basically given up on continuing to hold shares. He then sent a message to Nan Ruoqiong, asking her to find time to come over and talk to Wu Renpin as soon as possible.
On the day before leaving, Nan Yi talked to Zhang Feng about the future of Dongqing International. For him, Dongqing International's public-spirited mission had ended, and the only thing left was to make money. However, video websites had become increasingly popular, and the number of TV viewers would be leaving at an increasingly faster rate. The remaining life of TV shopping would not be long, and the best option was to find a good buyer to sell it while it was still worth some money.
Zhang Feng agreed with Nan Yi's point of view, and the two sides reached a consensus on the sale.
Then, Nan Yi talked about the resettlement plan for the company's veterans. One was to give them compensation and be sold together with the company. The other was to give them compensation and wait for the acquisition to go through before they jumped out of the company, formed a new team, and started a new business model of live streaming and selling goods.
As far as Nan Yi knows and infers, there is a very high probability that live streaming with goods will cause the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Starting with live streaming with goods, it will set off an employment revolution, a revolution in employment statistics standards, a tax revolution, an IQ revolution, and a revolution in the definition of terms.
For example, dirty and unfriendly words such as idiot, idiot, your brain is stuck in the door, and your brain is kicked by a donkey will be replaced by "family members". Children's ideals when they grow up will also evolve from unrealistic categories such as police, doctor, and scientist to snack live streaming hosts, cosmetics live streaming hosts, paper towel live streaming hosts, etc.
With the rise of live streaming, Nan Yi has started a trend of targeted further education among the foot washing girls at Qian Meizi Foot Massage. In addition to their work, they have launched makeup classes, crying classes, beauty technology classes, con men classes, begging skills classes and other skills training classes needed to cultivate good-looking anchors.
Start with yourself, and then influence all formal and informal friendly businesses, save women from suffering, and make their way of living more decent and their income more substantial.
Nan Yi has always believed that women hold up half the sky, and the idea of gender equality has always been engraved deep in his soul. While pursuing the greatest opportunity in the development of the times, he also wants to launch a women's liberation revolution.
