Volume 7 I've Been Here Chapter 0963 First and Second
"Then I don't know the seriousness of the matter and call you Senior Brother Chen?" Huang Yingzi said with a sly smile.
"Sure, you seem very friendly. Tomorrow night, I will treat you to dinner. You should be free, right?" Chen Bangyan's words were polite, but there was a sense of doubt in his words.
"Of course, since my senior brother has invited me, I have to put aside the most important things first."
"Okay, Xincheng Shaved Noodle Restaurant, tomorrow at 6pm."
"I will be there on time."
After separating from Chen Bangyan, Huang Yingzi began to wonder why the other party took the initiative to make friends with her. After thinking about it, she thought of a possibility that Chen Bangyan might soon be assigned to a local position.
Huang Yingzi stroked the big white hair on her face, walked to the hotel front desk, and asked the hotel to send a car.
At dinner time, Liu Zhen suddenly called and said that she had a dinner party and asked Nan Yi to find a way to fill his stomach.
Nan Yi walked into the kitchen and took a look. Seeing the dishes that Liu Zhen had not washed in the morning, his already undecided intention to cook became even more shaken. He took a folder of banknotes from the drawer of the long table, glanced at how much was left in the drawer, and went out with the money in his pocket.
Nan Yi actually envied some people who didn't care about money. They didn't know how much money they had put there. They just spent it with their eyes closed and put it away again after it was spent. But he couldn't do that. He would never forget where he put his money. He didn't need to remember how much he spent every day. He would definitely recall it within half a month.
With the money, Nan Yi ran around a few places, bought some braised peanuts and a few steamed buns, and took a bus to Shichahai. As soon as he arrived at the beach with the food and fishing gear, he saw Qiu Hanmin at a glance.
Nan Yi walked up to the other person and asked, "Mr. Qiu, why are you here?"
Qiu Hanmin turned his head to look at Nan Yi's face, then glanced at the things in his hand, "Didn't you have dinner?"
"Come over and have a drink while you fish. Do you have a drink today?"
"I'm not very thirsty. Do you have any extra cups? I'll drink with you."
"have."
Nan Yi responded, set aside the stall, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one to Qiu Hanmin, "Mr. Qiu, you look worried, are you unhappy?"
Qiu Hanmin picked up the cup and took a sip. "What else can a retired old man like me be unhappy about? It's my son's debt."
"Peace is good. He has been promoted to deputy general manager of the branch."
"It's not peace, Nan Yi. Thanks to you, this brat has become the one I worry the least about. The second child, Shan Shan, is getting a divorce."
"She..." Nan Yi dragged out the words, thinking that Zhao Yuteng must have taken action to retaliate against Chen Zheng, "Mr. Qiu, you don't like Chen Zheng, so just divorce him."
"It's a different time now. They both have children, so they need to consider their children. The couple's conflict has something to do with money. Chen is not doing well at work and is thinking about quitting to start a business. Nan Yi..."
Qiu Hanmin seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
"Mr. Qiu, you know Chen Zheng's ex-girlfriend Zhao Yu, right?"
"I once asked someone at Beijing University about Chen Zheng's situation."
"I am now on good terms with Zhao Yu."
"understand."
Qiu Hanmin nodded, took another sip from the cup, and stopped talking about Chen Zheng. Nan Yi didn't try to bring up a new topic, just staring at the float and eating the stewed food.
On the other side, at the Wang family, Wang Zongjun was drinking alone at home.
After spending several years abroad, he finally saved some money and returned to China to start a business. He thought that with the experience he had gained abroad, he would be able to make great achievements in China. He founded Wang Media and set his sights on major banks that did not have unified logos and brochures, hoping to dig out this gold mine and accumulate the first pot of gold.
He begged and pleaded everywhere, hoping to get several major banks to become his clients, but who could have imagined that a strong rival like Wangbei Media would emerge, with similar connections but inferior strength.
After another cup of wine, Wang Zongjun began to think about countermeasures. Before he had any idea, his younger brother Wang Zonglei came.
"elder brother."
"Come on, drink with me."
The two brothers clinked glasses, and after drinking half a glass, they started chatting.
"Brother, why don't you go find Gong Xue and ask her to stop being so ruthless and leave us some food to eat."
"What's the use of approaching the bank? We and Wangbei Media approached the bank almost at the same time. There's no question of one stealing whose business. We're not as strong as the other. Just accept it and think of other ways out." Wang Zongjun said with a thick tongue.
"What I mean is that we can use our connections to pressure her and make her give us one."
"Wangbei Media is most likely Nan Yi's industry. He is standing behind Gong Xue. How can you use your connections to pressure him?"
Wang Zonglei said disapprovingly: "I've heard of the name Nan Yi. So what if he's the same person? He just has a grandmother who is a wealthy local tycoon."
Wang Zongjun shook his head. "You are too young to play with the previous students. There are some things you don't know. Nan Yi is not a simple person. Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. I can't think of a good solution for the time being. I will take you to meet Nan Yi some other day and talk to him. You can experience what kind of person he is."
Nan Yi sat in Shichahai until nine o'clock. The float only moved once from beginning to end. The fish were not biting well, so he said goodbye to Qiu Hanmin, who was planning to fight for a while longer, and left with his things.
The next day, Huang Yingzi found time to meet with Nan Yi and talked about Chen Bangyan. Nan Yi just said he knew about it but did not express his opinion.
Huang Yingzi has been in a high position for eleven years and has long been experienced. When it comes to matters that are not related to the future strategic direction but are just minor details, Nan Yi no longer speaks casually. He only regards their meeting as a reminiscing rather than a work report.
After meeting Huang Yingzi, Nan Yi made an appointment with Yu Dongfang, and the two met in a cafe in Zhongguancun.
"I once heard you say that your aunt had a lot to do with your admission to Beijing University. Your mother is an amazing woman."
"Brother Nan, you called me here today, not just to talk to me about my mother, right?" There were still a lot of things to do at school, and Yu Dongfang didn't have the time to play around with Nan Yi.
Nan Yi smiled faintly, "Yes, today I just want to talk to you about my aunt."
Not long after the shares of Xin Guangyin were divided, Yu Dongfang called his mother to help and transferred 5% of his 45% shares to his mother's name. Naturally, the shareholders had to be notified of the change in shares, so Nan Yi, who had never been involved in Xin Guangyin, was also clear about this matter.
Huang Saner also mentioned to Nan Yi that not only Yu's mother worked at Xin Guang, but his sister, brother-in-law, and wife also joined Xin Guang one after another. The other management also had more or less nepotism. Xin Guang had become a multi-surname family business headed by the Yu family.
After Nan Yi knew all this, although he felt it was inappropriate, investing in New Time was just a free ride. He estimated that these things would eventually be resolved by Yu Dongfang, otherwise New Time would have no chance to enter his eyes and memory, so he didn't think much about it.
Years ago, Nan Yi noticed that something was wrong with Huang San'er. She would rather hang out in Feilong Internet Cafe than stay in Xin Guang Yin. After a little thought, he knew who she was having a conflict with in Xin Guang Yin. When he asked her about it, she hesitated and was unwilling to say more. Nan Yi immediately thought that she must have had a rift with the "royal relatives".
This is not acceptable. Even the carefree Huang Saner is unwilling to stay in Xin Guangyin, which shows that nepotism has become a cancer in Xin Guangyin and can hurt people.
"Brother Nan, you want to talk about Huang Xia, right?"
Yu Dongfang was in the middle of the situation and understood everything, so he quickly grasped Nan Yi's intention.
"Yes, Huang San'er doesn't want to be in charge, and I don't want her to be in charge either. I want to give you full freedom so that you won't feel any constraints and can focus on expanding your territory. The current situation is that Huang San'er doesn't like to go to Xin Guangyin, and I don't want to tell you what to do, but I can't leave someone in Xin Guangyin.
This has nothing to do with trust. I just need to know the current status of each of my investments. I plan to talk to Huang Saner again and ask her to stop making trouble and keep everything as it is, but she is a bit stubborn and I may not be able to convince her.
So, I have a backup plan. I happen to have someone who is proficient in education and management. If I fail to persuade Huang Saner, I will send this person to Xin Guangyin to serve as the shareholder representative of Huang Saner and me, and let him exercise shareholder rights on our behalf.
I asked you to come here today so that I can talk to you first."
Yu Dongfang chewed over Nan Yi's words and could easily understand what Nan Yi meant - I sent someone who doesn't care about things, but you can't make them stay there. Well, I will send someone who is capable and willing to take charge. From now on, Xin Guang will no longer be your one-man show, and even...
Yu Dongfang couldn't help but frown when he thought that Huang Saner and Nan Yi's combined shares were 55%.
"Brother Nan, you may not understand Huang Xia's situation..."
Nan Yi waved his hand to stop Yu Dongfang from continuing, "Dongfang, we have known each other for more than a year or two, and I have a certain understanding of you; I have known Huang Saner for even longer, and I know very well what kind of person she is. Jump out, just regard yourself as the manager of Xin Guangyin, don't mix in any other factors, and sort things out again.
I know Xin Guangyin is very busy right now, so I won’t waste your time. Let’s stop here and look at some business cases of family businesses, which should be helpful to you.”
Yu Dongfang opened his mouth, seemed to be about to say something, and after a moment of silence, he stood up, paid the bill and left.
After finishing his coffee in the cafe, Nan Yi returned to the old house, turned on his work and entertainment laptops, plugged in the telephone line to connect to the Internet, logged into TTM, called out the add friend window, and randomly sent a friend request to a female user named "Rachel" from among the online users. Then he opened the "South Sublime" code editor, selected a "Chat.SSP" file in the edit list, and continued to write the chat room code.
TTM is no longer a tool for Nan Yi to entertain himself. After the further development of the Internet last year, an independent TTM company was established in the office of Zhenyi Online. Nan Yi injected operating funds separately and there is no affiliation between the company and Zhenyi Online.
There is a mutual traffic diversion function between Real Online and TTM. The two products are temporarily bundled together for operation, but after they grow bigger, they will be split up, financed separately, and listed separately when they reach a certain stage of development.
Ultimately, it is Nan Yi's pettiness that is at work. He does not want future investors to take advantage of him. TTM has every potential to become an independent unicorn, and it would be a huge loss to keep it under Zhenyi Online.
Writing a chat room program was not difficult at all for Nan Yi. He thought and wrote at the same time without any pause. Line of code was displayed in the editing window of the editor.
Nan Yi just wanted to write a relatively simple chat room that did not require registration and did not store chat records. One could just fill in a nickname and enter the chat room to chat freely. The main code of the chat room had already been completed, and he was now writing the code for intelligent judgment of sensitive words.
Nan Yi had experienced the chat room era and knew how bold the first generation of netizens were. They dared to talk about any topic in the chat room. Although the Internet, as a new thing, would definitely have a period of wild growth, Nan Yi was really not interested in being stained with original sin in the Internet field again.
It took Nan Yi three hours to basically write a prototype of a program that could intelligently judge sensitive words and trigger the recording of MAC addresses. Then he spent a whole day modifying the details and testing the functions. On the third day, he conducted a stress test simulating 10,000 people online at the same time.
By the time the chat room program was ready to go online, Nan Yi had already made a trip to Xiangkeng.
In February 1995, two major events occurred in the financial world. The first was the collapse of the Bank of Bahrain, and the second was the 327 incident that led to the closure of the domestic treasury bond futures market.
The collapse of Barings Bank had a lot to do with Nan Yi. With the collapse of Barings Bank, the Stepping Stone Plan also came to an end. Catherine lobbied everywhere in London, and finally Jardine Matheson Bank defeated ING Group and took over Barings Bank at a symbolic price of 1 pound, while also assuming its debts and social responsibilities.
As soon as Jardine Matheson took over Barings Bank, with the support of the information Jason Bourne had collected in the past, they swept out the "cockroaches" inside the bank one by one. Those who could be sent to prison were sent to prison, and those who could not were given a letter of dismissal. They carried out a major internal reorganization, but they were a bit ambiguous towards Nick Leeson, the culprit who caused the collapse of Barings Bank. They just watched the UK wanted him and had no intention of contributing anything.
Speaking of which, Nick Leeson is Nan's lucky star. Without him, how could Jardine Matheson Bank have swallowed up the 223-year-old Bank of Barings.
Not to mention the close relationship between the Bank of Bahrain and the British royal family and its accumulated customers and outlets, its long history and participation in many major events in early Europe and the United States make the records of Bahrain's development history preserved in the vault have extraordinary reference and warning significance.
Through the historical records of Bahrain’s development, we can find the inside stories behind many major events in Europe, and also find the development trajectories of many families, such as the Rothschild family.
Nan Yi didn't care much about major financial events at home or abroad. In the few days left in February, he finished writing the chat room program and then the forum program, competing for several firsts and one second place in the country.
The first chat room in China, the first forum, the first domain name registered in an individual's name, and the second WWW server set up were all done by Nan Yi alone without any help from anyone else.
Nan Yi set up the chat room and forum servers in the computer room of Shenzhen Post and Telecommunications Bureau. After the setup, he went to each Huiduo.com branch to post advertisements. As the posts were sent out, a butterfly effect occurred, and the development trajectory of the domestic Internet was changed by Nan Yi.
The first to be affected was Huiduo.com. The method of only one person logging in through one telephone line was too backward. Several "future-oriented" webmasters who were saving money to buy computers and install telephone lines , and several historical events that should have happened were erased by Nan Yi.
On March 5th, Nan Yi's Billion Chat Room reached its peak number of online users, with a total of 57 people. Nan Yi, who was hiding in front of the computer and snooping through nicknames, was able to infer the real names of 15 people through their nicknames. He was sure that 4 of them would become billionaires, and he didn't know much about 5 of them, so he was not sure whether their net worth had reached 10 billion.
Seeing everyone in the chat room excitedly asking each other who the owner of the chat room was, Nan Yi did not jump out to show off. He kept his achievements and fame to himself and continued to hide in the dark, with no intention of jumping out.
Nan Yi had no intention of having a direct confrontation with these future Internet upstarts. Investing in them was what the white gloves supported by the Nan family should do.
After being a peeper for a while, Nan Yi closed his entertainment notebook, dealt with a few emails, and then went to the Chongwenmen Triangle area, which was next to the train station. It was crowded, lively, and chaotic, and was a notoriously chaotic area in the capital.
There is a labor market in Sanjiaodi. People from other places can get there just by walking after getting off the train. If they are short of money, they can immediately find work here and sell their labor for half a day to earn some money to fill their stomachs.
Not everyone brings enough money with them when they go out. Many people have limited financial resources and only enough money to buy a train ticket. Once they arrive, they have to find a way to make a living.
Nan Yi stood in the triangle for a while and saw a lot of people sitting on bicycles with a piece of paper hanging on the basket. The bicycles were all old and had been passed down from hand to hand. Some of them didn't have any bicycles, so they just held the paper in their hands, while others held a very small piece of paper hanging on their buttons.
Nan Yi suspected that the last type of people came from the Northeast, because he had only seen such small live-streaming papers in Fengtian. In other places, live-streaming papers would be as large as possible.
There are also people who don't take any jobs but have large and small bags around them. These people must be those who are in a hurry to find a job.
After staying for half an hour, Nan Yi walked towards the post office near Triangle Pond.
In his previous life, Nan Yi had in-depth contact with the group of people doing odd jobs, and had a certain understanding of their living conditions and psychology. Odd jobs do not necessarily mean there is work every day, so the income is naturally unstable. However, if you work out every day, your monthly income may not be less than that of a stable job.
But in fact, most people who do odd jobs don't have much money in their pockets. This is because they just like the feeling of freedom that odd jobs bring. When they want to work, they work. When they don't want to work, they just lie down or organize a small card game or drinking party. When they have no money in their pockets, they go out to work.
It is impossible to save money if you work for three days and rest for two days.
They are a group of smart people who understand that as long as they don't work hard, capitalists like Nan Yi will never have a good life.
Nan Yi's understanding of these things lags behind the present time by more than ten years. Today he came here to see how big the difference is between today's odd jobs workers and what he knows, and whether it is worth his while to pay some price to gain a deeper understanding.
It is not yet two o'clock in the afternoon. The temperature is moderate and the sun is shining brightly. By looking at the spirits of the odd jobs workers, the thickness of their clothes, and whether they are hunched over or shivering, we can roughly judge how they slept last night and whether they worked outside yesterday.
Being tired from working and being tired from resting will both make you feel listless, but there is a difference in your spirit and the light in your eyes is also different.
In half an hour, Nan Yi saw that most of the people had longing in their eyes, which meant that they did not choose to do odd jobs for the sake of freedom, and it was worth his while to dig deeper.
Risking being treated as a thief, Nan Yi walked up to the people filling out remittance forms at the remittance window of the post office, glanced at the amount filled in on the remittance form with a sly look, and would even take a look at the recipient's address if he had the chance.
Some sent fifty or one hundred, some sent two hundred or three hundred, and the most was six hundred.
At five minutes and seventeen seconds, Nan Yi was coaxed out by a staff member of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. No, it should be said that he was scared out by another staff member. The other staff member had already picked up the microphone, staring at his face, with his index finger hovering over the button, making it clear that he was going to call the local police.
In a flash, Nan Yi ran to the Wangbei Media office in the Foreign Affairs Building.
"Five thousand yuan, help me make a documentary." Nan Yi said to Gong Xue as soon as he entered her office.
Gong Xue shifted her gaze from the contract to Nan Yi's face and said calmly, "The person on the far right of the large office outside is a graphic design intern. He is designing a trademark for a food factory, and the company charges 2,000 yuan."
"Oh, bye."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yi pretended to leave.
"Sit down." Gong Xue said resentfully, "Stay with me for a while. How long has it been since you last came to see me?"
"Liu Zhen has been transferred back to the capital."
"The company is now in deep cooperation with the bank. I know when she was transferred back, but what about before that?"
Nan Yi said with a lack of confidence: "Didn't I look for you at the beginning of last year?"
"You said you would come to see me in two days, but I have been waiting for more than a year. These 365 days have been difficult. You don't have me in your heart at all." Gong Xue hummed a passage, with a hint of resentment in her voice.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I will take two months out this year to spend time with you."
Gong Xue smiled and said, "I won't make it difficult for you. I'll divide it into two parts, one month in the first half and one month in the second half. You decide the time."
"The first half of the year starts at the end of May, so remember to adjust your work."
"Huh, not in the capital, right?"
"You're asking even though you already know the answer." Nan Yi spat and brought up the old matter again, "Five thousand dollars to make a documentary."
"Our company is working towards becoming a 4A-level company. We just signed an advertising agency contract with Wonderful Real Estate Management Company at the end of last year. Soon we will send an advertisement for a domestic enterprise to Times Square."
Nan Yi waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I get it. You guys are too high-class to care about my little job. When you shoot commercials, you have to find college students from the photography department to work part-time. Give me a few pager numbers and I'll talk to them directly."
"I'm sorry, but it's inconvenient to disclose company information." Gong Xue still said seriously: "If you want to exercise your rights as a boss, you can contact our group's president Yuan and ask him to give me authorization."
Nan Yi sighed and gave a thumbs up, "Okay, I hope you can keep it like this."
Putting aside personal relationships, Nan Yi really couldn't blame Gong Xue for doing this. Whether it was the fine-tuning of the power structure or the confidentiality system, they were all emphasized by him at the Intelligence and Policy Committee last year. Grassroots employees could not make any requests, but starting from the middle level, they could not disclose any business-related content of the company they served to the outside world, not even to their relatives.
Now we have only established this professional code of conduct, but not many people realize that it is a tight ring. They will continue to leak secrets to their partners and friends. There is no problem if nothing goes wrong. However, once the leak causes losses to the company, they will immediately investigate thoroughly and make an example of them to scare the monkeys.
This can also be considered an implicit talent screening rule. People who are big mouths outside and will tell their friends that this colleague is an idiot, that leader is mentally ill, and who treat things that happened in the unit as a burden and shake them outside, are generally not capable of taking on big responsibilities and are unlikely to climb to a high position in their career, at least not in Nan's.
"Of course I will keep it. I also want to thank you. Starting this year, I will receive an additional 100,000 yuan in confidentiality money."
"You can be happy in secret. I'm using this money to buy myself peace of mind. If anyone doesn't follow the rules, I can punish his entire family with a clear conscience."
"Is this the unlimited liability clause added to the re-signed confidentiality agreement?"
Nan Yi nodded.
"Are you really going to get to the bottom of who violated the agreement?" Gong Xue asked.
"It depends on the situation, the extent of the damage, the inducement for the violation, etc. If it is because of coercion of a partner or children, I will mentally understand and forgive it."
"What about the action?"
"A person who helps the police catch a thief accidentally destroys a substance that the country spent 100 trillion to develop. What will be the consequences for this person?"
"What you said can't possibly happen."
"Okay, let me put it another way. In Mumbai, a policeman who has solved many strange cases and has a clean record accidentally caused the death of the mayor's only son during the process of arresting a suspect. Will this policeman have a successful career?"
Gong Xue shook her head. "It's hard to say. Everyone has a different personality. Some may be open-minded and let things go. Others may be cunning and unfathomable. In order to create an image of being dedicated to the public, they will not only not hinder the police officer's advancement, but will also secretly give him a push."
"Miss Gong, your thoughts are very complicated. Where did the ink come from that turned the originally beautiful, simple and kind Miss Gong into this state?" Nan Yi said, holding back his laughter.
"Mr. Nan, has anyone ever said that you are hypocritical?"
"In the eyes of a gentleman, everyone in the world is a gentleman or a lady. My lady Guan Gong is the epitome of a lady."
"Don't use dirty words when you curse." Gong Xue spat and said, "You sit down, I'll continue reading the contract."
"I still need you to look at the contract terms. Where is the legal department?"
Gong Xue said without even looking up, "I'm finalizing the service details. I haven't reached the stage of formulating the terms yet. I say you're not afraid of wasting manpower and resources. A contract has to go through so many hands, and a word can be changed seven or eight times. You also need to be given a special pen for signing the contract."
"Do you know that a contract has another name, the Book of Life and Death? One word can determine life and death. I haven't heard much about people using contracts to cheat others. Don't cheat others, and don't let others cheat you. It won't go wrong to be careful."
“What if there is no initiative?”
"Is there any need to ask? If you stick your head out, you'll get hurt. Just close your eyes and sign quickly. Try to be proactive. Maybe you can get some benefits. I mean, what time will you let me go? I'm planning to go look for my cousin."
"Keep sitting. You won't be able to find your cousin today. She's out of town filming a commercial."
When Nan Yi heard this, he reached out and picked up a book on advertising on the desk and started flipping through it. "It's not necessarily good to shoot too many ads. Don't contact her too often."
“Specified by the company.”
Nan Yi was stunned for a moment, "That's not the case, right?"
"Wangbei Media is already a big company, and no one dares to mess around unless they are willing."
