"Dad, I set up an investment company."
“Which area should I invest in?”
“Shareholders’ opinion is that as long as the prospects are good, they can invest in any industry.”
Nan Yi turned to look at Nan Ruoyin and said with a smile: "You like to eat alone, so it's not easy for you to be a shareholder in a partnership, right?"
"Hehe, they are the members of the sisterhood, Emmanuel Loren, Megan Morgan, Stephanie Mellon, Lisa Dupont, and Zainab."
"There's no need to introduce the others. Dad knows who they are. I've never heard of Zainab. From the sound of her name, she sounds like an Arab. Is she the eldest daughter of a Saudi or oil family?"
"No, Zainab is Egyptian and her family doesn't dig for oil. Her father is Onsi Sawiris, who mainly runs an engineering business and has also dabbled in commercial real estate and beverages. He's doing very well and has a chance to become the richest man in Egypt," Nan Ruoyin explained.
"Oh, what's the name of your company? We can do business together in the future."
Nan Ruoyin said with a smile: "Gentlewomen."
"Celebrity Capital, this name is quite direct." Nan Yi smiled and said, "How much capital does the company have?"
"It wasn't much. We pooled together $10 million."
"You're the boss?"
"Of course, my ability is recognized by everyone. I invested 1 million and the shares are 25%." Nan Ruoyin said arrogantly.
"It's just a $1.5 million endorsement, no need to brag about it."
Nan Ruoyin pouted and said, "Dad, can't you just praise me a little bit?"
"Okay, Dad didn't praise you enough before." Nan Yi wanted to touch Nan Ruoyin's head, but when he reached halfway, he thought that the girl was not a child anymore, so it would be inappropriate to touch her head. He could only withdraw his hand and said dryly, "Does Mingyuan Capital have an investment target?"
"Yes, it's a project of an online bookstore in Seattle called Cadabra. Dad, have you paid attention to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the case of Quayle v. North Dakota two years ago?"
"I heard that the final ruling said that companies without a physical presence in North Dakota do not need to collect state sales tax?"
"Yes, this means that American consumers can save a lot of consumption tax when shopping online compared to shopping in physical stores. Building an online shopping platform to sell goods to consumers will be a very promising business."
"Oh, so you're looking at this cadabra. This is a new word you made up, right?"
"The founder said that he took this word from abracadabra (similar to the spell used by the Supreme Lord Laojun when casting a spell), hoping that his company would grow rapidly as if it were cast by magic."
Nan Yi nodded, "Is this platform online?"
“No, it’s still in the early stages of preparation.”
"You're optimistic about it even though it's not online?"
"Well, the founder is Jeff Bezos. He has a great idea and resume. He is a member of the ΦBK Club and graduated with a master's degree in electrical engineering and computer science from Princeton. He went to work on Wall Street right after graduation, first in technical work, and later as vice president of a trust company. Before resigning, he worked at Shaw Fund Company.
Dad, Bezos understands finance and has good connections in the financial world. His business has good financing channels. It is rare to have someone who understands technology, finance and financing channels. It is very worth investing in. "
When he heard the name "Jeff Bezos", Nan Yi finally understood what Nan Ruoyin was talking about. Cadabra might very well be the future Amazon.
“So, you want to give Bezos seed funding?”
"Well, Dad, didn't you say that when investing, one should first look at the founder's resume and connections, and then the team's management capabilities. The project itself is actually the least important. No matter how good the idea is, it can't succeed without a good team. The performance of the Cadabra project in every aspect is very good, and it is worth the risk for Mingyuan Capital."
“Are there any bright spots in family relationships?”
"Bezos's grandfather was the regional director of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in Albuquerque. He retired and ran a large ranch in Texas. There is nothing special about the others."
"You sound good. I will ask the richest man Weiye to investigate. If it is good, the richest man Weiye will follow up in rounds A and B. Have you ever shown your background in Mingyuan Capital to Bezos?"
"Dad, you underestimate me. I need to talk about my background to communicate with the founder of a startup."
Nan Yi smiled cheerfully and said, "When it's time to shine, it should shine. You also said that Bezos has financing channels, and it's not difficult for him to raise funds. You have to let him know how much added value Mingyuan Capital's money has. Since you are optimistic about it, you should strive to get more shares."
Nan Ruoyin nodded and said, "Dad, I bought a Bengal tiger, a tiger cub, very cute."
"Humph, I raise a cat and you raise a tiger. Do you want to suppress me?"
"Yes, the disciple is better than the master. I also gave him a very cute name. Do you want to know, Dad?" Nan Ruoyin's face was full of cunning.
"I don't want to know. You careless people are just making a fuss about my name."
"Hey, call Xiaonan. Dad, when you have time, go visit Xiaonan and let it get familiar with your scent."
"No, next time you can just raise a turtle named Nan Yi, just be straightforward."
"No, a turtle is only a thousand years old. I want to raise a turtle that is ten thousand years old."
Nan Yi glanced at Nan Ruoyin and said unhappily, "Should I praise you for being filial?"
"Um."
"A good son is born under the stick. The ancients were right. Sixteen years ago, I should have beaten you three times a day."
"Hey, there's no chance."
Nan Yi glanced forward and saw the Wu family's villa. "Go, go, put your little tricks away. We are almost there."
It took two days to visit all the families that Fang Mengyin was on good terms with. Nan Ruoyin flew away first, and Nan Yi met up with Guan Erfu and Luo Zhaohui. After the Chongqing Building project, Luo Zhaohui followed Guan Erfu to learn how to trade stocks. Although it was called learning, he actually just followed along in the operations with his funds.
Guan Erfu is worthy of the title of stock market sniper. He has made great profits in the stock market over the past two years by attacking everywhere. Nan Yi originally put 100 million Hong Kong dollars in Luo Zhaohui's funds. Now after deducting various expenses, there are still 600 million Hong Kong dollars left.
With such high profits, Nan Yi naturally knew how to behave himself. He catered to the needs of the people and spent nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars to hold a party on the yacht. For some reason, many crews stopped working the day after the party.
After the party, Nan Yi asked Luo Zhaohui for 500 million Hong Kong dollars on the pretext that he needed funds for a project. He pocketed 480 million of the profit and kept the remaining 100 million. It would be best if he could make a big profit from it, but it didn't matter if he lost it all.
In fact, the possibility of a big snowball is not great. After Nan Yi's funds increased from 100 million to 400 million, Luo Zhaohui's funds were close to 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. The situation changed at that time. Nan Yi's funds became dispensable and turned from a benefit to a burden. If Nan Yi had not later increased the service fee to Luo Zhaohui to 40%, Luo Zhaohui should have talked to Nan Yi about the return of funds long ago.
This time, Nan Yi raised the service fee to 50%. Luo Zhaohui was still a little reluctant, and only agreed after the party.
After finishing the work in Xiangcun, Nan Yi did not fly directly to the capital, but went through the customs and took the road from Shencun to Dongzhu Gaoshe, and came to the East Gate of the Swallowtail Butterfly Factory. Zheng Manli came to pick him up.
"Big Boss."
I haven't seen Zheng Manli for more than five years. She has reached the right age, like a red apple, her immaturity has faded, her intelligence has increased, and the mature beauty of a woman has been fully displayed.
"Secretary Zheng, long time no see, where is Fengtai?"
"Boss, the year-end party has already started, and President Wang is giving speeches at various gatherings."
"Go and have a look."
The group got into a multi-seater golf cart, and under the guidance of Zheng Manli, the driver drove forward.
After a while, the car stopped near the dormitory building. As soon as Nan Yi got out of the car, he saw endless round tables and a crowd of Swallowtail Butterfly employees sitting around the tables.
"Secretary Zheng, how many people are here?"
"21,387, eight people per table, with a few extra tables prepared for emergencies, a total of 2,680 tables."
“Is this the spot with the most people?”
"Yes, the number of people at the other locations is controlled within 15,000."
“How many chefs have you hired?”
"We hired 107 chefs specializing in banquets from Funan, 70 restaurants from Dongguan and Shencun to come and contract, and we also hired thousands of temporary waiters from the surrounding areas."
Nan Yi smiled faintly, "Having a banquet with hundreds of thousands of people, is it stressful?"
Zheng Manli frowned and said, "The pressure is very great. We can only have the New Year's Eve dinner on the same day once this year. Next year, we will have to let the branch factories arrange the date on their own, otherwise it will be easy to cause trouble."
"We can only do this once. By next year, the swallowtail butterflies will be on the decline, and you may not be in the mood to care about these side branches."
The last time Nan Yi came to Yanweidie was in 1989. At that time, the number of employees in the entire factory had exceeded 70,000. In recent years, several branches have been put into use, and the number of employees in the entire factory has reached nearly 120,000.
This is the result of controlling the expansion speed. Swallowtail Butterfly never takes on business that cannot be a long-term cooperation. If it takes on all business without considering the long-term placement of new employees, the number of Swallowtail Butterfly's employees could easily expand to four or five hundred thousand.
The country's demographic dividend has been fully demonstrated, and the world's factory has also emerged. There is endless processing business abroad. It can be predicted that in the next five years, the steepness of the swallowtail butterfly's decline will still be within a controllable range.
The clothing processing industry is easy to do, so naturally more and more people will come in to grab a piece of the pie. New factories are not competitive, so they will naturally think of a price war. As competition intensifies, wages will be pushed lower and lower until it becomes suffocating.
Faced with competitors who are very flexible in everything, Swallowtail Butterfly has confined itself with rules and regulations, and its average annual labor cost is more than 3,000 yuan higher than that of its competitors. It has no competitive advantage at all and its future is very worrying.
"Boss, we urgently need to overhaul Swallowtail Butterfly to reduce costs and improve efficiency, otherwise Swallowtail Butterfly will be at risk of bankruptcy."
Nan Yi sighed, "Yes, it is indeed difficult for low value-added industries to implement high welfare. I know you have been under a lot of pressure these years, and everyone has worked hard. Let's not talk about this for now, the New Year is coming soon, everyone have a good year, and we can talk about the troubles next year."
This is a large factory with 120,000 employees, but its after-tax profit in 1994 was only a few million yuan away from 100 million yuan. The average benefit contributed by each employee was less than 1,000 yuan. Nan Yi himself may not care about it, but the middle and senior managers of the Swallowtail Butterfly line cannot help but care, as it is directly related to their income.
Nan Yi also had to consider the emotions of the Information and Policy Committee members. Nan's high salaries and benefits were based on the high added value of the overall industry. The benefits allocated to Nan's were far greater than the interests of the employees. Nan's had 10 billion, and the employees collectively shared 1 billion. Nan's had high profits, and the employees had high incomes.
In the case of Swallowtail Butterfly, the profit is extremely low, and the share shared by the employees is far greater than Nan's profit. Some people in the strategy team have proposed selling Swallowtail Butterfly in a package, while others have questioned why Swallowtail Butterfly employees receive such high (relative) treatment.
Led by Zheng Manli, Nan Yi came to the edge of the stage, where Wang Fengtai was expressing his gratitude to all employees for their contributions over the past year. After Wang Fengtai finished his speech, Nan Yi encouraged him with a few words and then hurried away.
After returning to the capital, Nan Yi took Liu Zhen to a village in the melon field area of ​​Mentougou. There was a ditch near the village, with water flowing down from the mountain all year round. There was no one in the melon field, and the water in the ditch was very clear. After November every year, water celery would grow in patches on one side of the ditch, and not many people came to pick it.
At the edge of the ditch, Nan Yi and his companion put on rain boots, and each of them took a pair of scissors and a net bag, went down into the ditch, and walked towards the patches of water celery.
When they came to the fields of water celery, Nan Yi asked Liu Zhen to watch on the side. He picked the tender water celery and started to cut it. After cutting a handful, he would put the water celery to his nose and smell it. After cutting a few handfuls, he smelled a foul odor from the water celery in his hand. He handed the "water celery" in his hand to Liu Zhen, "Smell it, anything with this foul smell is not water celery, but stone dragon reed, also known as ghost-seeing sorrow, which is extremely poisonous."
Liu Zhen took it and smelled it. "How did you know? I saw that there were only books about crops at home, and no books about wild vegetables."
"Because I'm afraid of death, I'm naturally sensitive to poisonous things. Have you seen the orange trees in our private plot?"
"I have seen it. If you don't grow the oranges well, they won't be sweet."
"Without pesticides and without much care, it's good enough to grow like that. When I bought the orange saplings, I saw someone picking water celery in Dongzhu. I chatted with them while asking for directions. That's when I learned about the existence of stonecrop. Ruoyin asked about it later, so I looked up information on it. Start cutting, pick the tender ones, they are tender and refreshing."
"Oh, you are quite interested in this useless knowledge." Liu Zhen responded.
"I remember that most of the water celery my son and I picked last time went into your stomach. If I didn't know about Ranunculaceae, you would have been in the hospital a long time ago."
“I don’t remember eating it.”
"The dog ate it."
"You are the dog."
"Yes, I am a male dog."
The two men were arguing while working. Soon the two net bags were full. Nan Yi rinsed them in the water and smelled them again.
After washing, Nan Yi let the tiger cub carry it, and took Liu Zhen's hand and walked into the depths of the melon field. Along the way, he looked left and right, trying to find the shadow of wild onions among the withered grass.
"Nan Yi, look, shepherd's purse." Liu Zhen suddenly pointed to a bush and said.
Nan Yi turned his head to take a look, then quickly looked away, "That's called spicy shepherd's purse, it tastes a bit spicy, pigs don't like it."
"Pigs don't like people...Okay, Nan, you said I'm a pig."
"Don't be so sensitive. Pigs really don't like it."
"That's strange."
Nan Yi pointed to another bush and said, "These are shepherd's purse. Didn't you go to the suburbs to pick them when you were a kid?"
"No."
"That's strange. When I was seven or eight years old, the boys in the factory would go together to pick wild vegetables, such as shepherd's purse, white wormwood, ground pepper, dandelion, toad grass, and noodle vegetables. Every season when there were wild vegetables, we would run to the suburbs and bring them back to add to our dishes."
Liu Zhen: "When I was a kid, I used to pick up coal cores. I would take a small iron rake and carry a basket to dig up dirty soil in the residential areas of government offices and factories. I liked going to the residential areas of government offices the most because I could find Yangquan coal, which was easier to burn than ordinary coal."
"Hmm? Is your family still short of coal?"
Liu Zhen: "You think the coal station belongs to me? How much can a temporary worker bring home? There are so many people at home. It takes a lot of coal to boil water for bathing in winter."
"Oh, I didn't have to worry about taking a bath when I was a kid. I knew all the aunties in the factory union. In the summer, I could get cold drinks, popsicles, and labor protection supplies. I even went to the women's bathhouse when I was ten years old. Those aunties really liked me."
Liu Zhen spat, "Don't brag. You're ten years old and you're still in a women's bathhouse. It would be strange if the older girls didn't beat you out."
"If you don't believe it, forget it." Nan Yi muttered, and pointed to the hilltop in the distance, "Do you want to go see the icefall?"
"It's not cold today, so the waterfall isn't frozen, right?"
"Tiger cub, take a look."
Hearing this, the tiger cub looked up the mountain for a while, then turned back and said, "It's not frozen."
Nan Yi said regretfully: "Forget about the ice. The mountain is bare and there's nothing to see. Let's look for something on the edge. The wild onion fried tofu is delicious."
Liu Zhen said coquettishly: "I'm tired, carry me on your back."
"Pretentious." Nan Yi muttered, letting go of Liu Zhen's hand, took a step forward, squatted slightly and stuck out his butt, "Come up."
Liu Zhen smiled and lay on Nan Yi's back, shouting, "Zhu Bajie is carrying his wife."
"How can a simple girl like you compare yourself to Miss Gao? Miss Gao is a famous beauty in the surrounding area."
"Humph, no matter how beautiful Miss Gao is, she will become Miss Ma when she is 68."
"Which Ma?"
"You don't even know this, Jiang Ziya's wife."
"Is Ma bad? Jiang Ziya picked up a 68-year-old virgin . After they got married, Ma still supported him. If it weren't for the fact that King Wen of Zhou was ambitious and wanted to seize the throne of King Zhou of Shang, Jiang Ziya would have been a lazy country bumpkin."
"Nonsense! You've reduced a famous person to a country bumpkin."
"I'm being polite. Investiture of the Gods was written by Xu Zhonglin in his later years. He had no reputation for success or virtue. He lived in the countryside of Yingtian and depended on his wife for support. He was in his fifties and finally earned some money by writing a novel. But before his wife could enjoy a good life, Xu Zhonglin found another young mistress who was only sixteen years old. He was simply a beast.
Now that I have said this, you understand, Jiang Ziya is the embodiment of Xu Zhonglin's beautiful imagination of himself, he wrote a loser into someone who can control the world, and a fifty-year-old who has accomplished nothing but becomes a Taoist in the mountains. "
Liu Zhen asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"It's not true. Xu Zhonglin is just a nobody. There is no record of his life. I am just using the text to make reasonable inferences."
"You are such a real person, I took it seriously."
"As for history, how much of it is true? As long as it sounds good, you don't care whether it's true or not. I'll make up another story about Zhuge Liang for you. Do you want to listen?" Nan Yi turned around and said.
"listen."
"It is said that Zhuge Xuan had a troublesome nephew named Zhuge Liang. He was 25 years old, but he stayed at home every day and did nothing. He also did not marry. Mrs. Zhuge was very anxious and could not sleep well every night. One day, she heard that Xu Shu, a poor boy next door, had become very successful.
Mrs. Zhuge thought that her family had some favors to the Xu family, so she took the gifts to the Xu family and complained to Xu's mother. Xu's mother was a good person and remembered the Zhuge family's favor, so she called Xu Shu to her side:
"My son, I know that the son of the Zhuge family is uneducated, but who can blame us for owing him a favor? You can polish up Kong Ming's resume and raise his reputation in front of your boss. Then, tell your boss that great talents are hard to hire. You have to ask him three times before he is willing to come out..."
Xu Shu was a filial son, so since his mother had asked for his help, of course he agreed. He racked his brains for several nights before he came up with a foolproof plan to flatter Zhuge Liang.
Xu Shu made up a few rhymes, comparing Zhuge Liang to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, and then spent some money to let children spread them in Longzhong. Later, he found Liu Bei and said that there was a great talent in Longzhong. As long as he could get him, my lord, you would not have to be a slave to many families, and your good days would come.
Liu Bei is not a mortal, no, it should be said that he is not from that time and space, and he is not a man. He is actually a girl named Liu Zhen from our time who traveled through time and space... Ouch, if you want to listen to it, let go. "
"You have made up stories that put the blame on me, but I won't listen to you, Nan Yi. You are really good at making up stories. I have never liked Liu Bei. He is too fake. You can change him to someone else, Liu Biao will do." Liu Zhen said as he loosened his grip on Nan Yi's hand.
"The character of Liu Biao was not portrayed positively by Luo Guanzhong. So, I traveled through time and space to the end of the Yuan Dynasty and became Luo Jin. I held a stick and asked Luo Guanzhong to write the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with Liu Biao as the protagonist. I wanted to make Liu Bei as bad as possible."
"Forget it, you're going off topic. Nan Yi, who do you like best in the Three Kingdoms?"
"Cao Cao."
"Why do you like him?"
"Respect women as much as I do, and take other people's wives home and respect them."
"Do you believe that I will pinch you hard?" Liu Zhen threatened.
"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you. There's not a single character in the Three Kingdoms that I like. If I have to name one, I'd choose Jia Xu. He's a very real villain who lives a more realistic life than the others."
"Jia Xu is real? Isn't he very good at disguise?"
"Everyone has his own opinion. I think he is real. Come down and see the wild onions." Nan Yi asked Liu Zhen to get off him, walked towards a bunch of wild onions, picked one and looked at it in his hand. "It's a little old, but it still smells good. Smell it."
“It smells a bit.”
"It smells good once it's fried in the pan, take the scissors."
"Why do you need to cut it? Won't it just be uprooted?"
"It's hard to grow again if you pull it out, so leave the roots. New wild onions will grow in February or March, and we can pick them again."
"oh."
Liu Zhen took out the scissors from her bag. Nan Yi took them and started to pull the wild onions and cut them from the roots, picking out the tenderest ones from the old ones. Snap, snap, he had cut a large bunch in no time. He estimated that it was enough for a dish, so Nan Yi stopped.
During the period before the Chinese New Year, Nan Yi and Liu Zhen were inseparable most of the time, picking wild vegetables, watching movies, shopping, staying at home eating melon seeds and watching videos, and going out to celebrate the New Year together. This year, since they had more time and Liu Zhen was with them, Nan Yi would deliberately stay a little longer to have a meal before leaving.
On the 29th, someone sent Nan Yi 100,000 yuan. During last year's World Cup, Nan Yi and Chen Yuxiu talked about the news of the ban on fireworks in urban areas of Beijing. They also said that this was a major trend and that producing electronic firecrackers would be a good business.
Erdong Electronics is already on track and has its own development plan. It is impossible for it to start a new business temporarily. Chen Yuxiu does not produce the products himself, but gives the idea to others. One hundred thousand yuan is the idea fee that the boss of electronic firecrackers gave to Nan Yi.
On New Year's Eve, Nan Yi and Nan Huaiqiu went to the Nan family's courtyard after breakfast. As usual, Liu Zhen gave some money to Yi Jinru and Nan Huaiqiu respectively. Yi Jinru was not short of money and valued this form. Nan Huaiqiu was really short of money. After receiving Liu Zhen's money, he glanced at Nan Yi a few times, hoping that Nan Yi would show some expression as well.
Nan Yi pretended to be ignorant of Nan Huaiqiu's hint. Giving double the amount was impossible. He still remembered that Nan Huaiqiu had borrowed money from him five times and had not paid back a single cent.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh!"
Seeing that his eyes didn't work, Nan Huaiqiu simply used coughing to remind him.
"Dad, you don't smoke, so why are you coughing?" Nan Yi asked blankly.
"The weather is too dry, and my throat is uncomfortable." Nan Huaiqiu pinched his throat, "Nan Yi, is your business going well this year?"
"It's not good. Business is getting harder and harder to do, and money is getting harder and harder to make. There is still a lot of money that can't be collected from outside. There are too many grandchildren who don't pay back the money they borrowed or the money they paid for the goods."
“Hmm…”
Nan Yi’s words made Nan Huaiqiu choke even more.
"Dad, you're coughing so badly, why don't we go to the hospital?" Nan Yi said, trying to hold back his laughter.
Nan Huaiqiu waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, no need to go to the hospital, I'll go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air."
As soon as Nan Huaiqiu left the house, Nan Yi went to talk to Nan Ruochan.
"Ruochan, do you plan to finish next semester, or go there early to adapt?"
Nan Ruochan has taken the TOEFL and scored 652 points. Elias J. Corey of Harvard's synthetic organic chemistry laboratory has already regarded her as a disciple and wrote her a letter of recommendation. Nan Yi also asked other people to write two letters of recommendation. Regardless of whether it depends on her grades or social practice and other miscellaneous factors, Nan Ruochan's admission to Harvard is a foregone conclusion.
"Uncle, I want to finish this semester before going to the United States."
"That's fine. Spend more time with your classmates. Don't tell your classmates that you're going to Harvard, so as not to upset them. It will be bad if they don't do well in the college entrance examination."
"No, several students in our class are preparing to study abroad, and the mentality of other students is quite normal." Nan Ruochan said: "My classmates also know that I took the TOEFL test. Uncle, the head teacher also wants me to take the college entrance examination."
"Don't take the college entrance examination. If you get a high score but don't enroll, it will be seen as a waste of admissions quota. It may also affect your personal integrity. I will talk to your class teacher someday."
Nan Ruochan nodded.
After talking about business, the uncle and niece watched TV while waiting for dinner.
Nan Tieli came back from outside when it was almost time for dinner. On New Year's Eve, he actually opened the store for half a day.
"Brother, any business?"
"There were three customers, and they made a business worth 72 yuan." Nan Tieli said honestly.
I have to say that the hardware business is really good these days. Not to mention the big business in Nan Yila, the business of small contractors and plumbers is very stable. These people are doing long-term business and do not necessarily have to come to the store. Sometimes customers come to the store to buy things by themselves. Afterwards, the plumber comes to the store and says which customer or what bought what was introduced by him, and the kickbacks or, more nicely, the introduction fees will naturally be offered.
If the small contractor has any things left after taking them away from the store, he can just take them to the store and return them without any further ado. There is room for manipulation here. Some people may be dishonest and report a higher quantity to the owner, and then secretly return the goods. Even if he has clean hands, it is a very comfortable thing for the small contractor to be able to deliver and return goods at any time.
Adding the two together, Nan Tieli is a hardware store with an area of ​​less than 30 square meters, but it is equipped with a warehouse of more than 400 square meters. You can imagine how much business it has. It quietly makes more than one million yuan a year. If the Nan Yi part is separated out, it can still make about 300,000 yuan a year.
"fine."
Nan Yi felt a little itchy and wanted to tell Nan Tieli that tiles would soon sell well and he could open another tile store. But after thinking it over, he decided to forget it. No matter how big the profit from tiles was, it could not compare to the prospects of Wenren Lanyue's chain pharmacies. So Nan Tieli just let him run the hardware store in comfort.
After lunch, Nan Yi went to Feilong Internet Cafe. Liu Daqiang and the other two did not go home, so they simply opened the shop as usual. If there was business, they would take it. If there was no business, the three of them would just write code in the shop and have fun together.
As soon as he arrived at the store, Nan Yi saw three people huddled around a computer. He walked closer and found that they were running code. He took out red envelopes he had prepared in advance from his pocket and gave one to each of them, receiving three thanks.
"Xiaoxiong, all the customers waiting here, whether they are sitting down to play or standing to watch, as long as they are adults, regardless of gender, will be given a pack of Jingazi. Even those who come here after hearing the news will be given one too. We will give out as many as we can in the store."
"Boss, Jing Azi is quite expensive."
"It's okay. It's New Year's Day, let's celebrate. After you finish eating the New Year's Eve dinner, don't forget to set off firecrackers. Turn it up to the maximum volume and let it go for ten minutes." Nan Yi said generously .
Nan Yi had already prepared a tape recorder in the store, and also had a tape with the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers. Since he couldn't play the real ones, it would be nice to just listen to the noise.
"Okay."
"You guys continue with your work, I'll play for a while."
After giving the order, Nan Yi stopped disturbing the three people. He found an empty machine and started playing Monopoly.
While playing, I was thinking about this year's plans.
