Volume 7 I've Been Here Chapter 0975 Can't Forget
“Yingma Technology has not yet produced any research and development results that can be put into industrial production, and it still has a long way to go.
Galaxy is dedicated to the research of artificial intelligence and big data. Due to the limitations of scientific and technological development, it has not yet developed any very practical technologies. However, the concept of big data has been integrated into our Nan's industrial operations, and many marketing plans are formulated on the basis of big data thinking.
In addition to what I mentioned above, we at Nan's also have many high-tech related companies. If you want to view the detailed catalog, you can send an email to the high-tech team.
In the field of high technology, we at Nan have been implementing the Hidden Champion Plan. We not only invest in companies with hidden champion attributes, but also build our own hidden champions. Maybe we at Nan will not have high-tech products that will make a world-shaking impression, but inside they must have our spare parts and technical solutions.
Just like our Nan's layout in the automotive field, the Volagon (Qiangliang) Automobile Group does not have the ability to build complete vehicles on an assembly line, but in the engine field, we have acquired many companies and established our own research institute to develop engines. Now we have our first engine - the Volagon S-Ormosia.
Our Nan Group was born too late. If we wanted to enter the gasoline vehicle sector where competition was already very fierce, the possibility of gaining a certain voice was very slim. Therefore, our Nan Group directly gave up gasoline vehicles and turned to new energy vehicles.
Starting with the simplest electricity, hydrogen energy, nuclear energy, and bioenergy may be applied to automobiles in the future. Moreover, our goal is not just land. The integration of land and air is the future we at Nan want.
In the field of foreign trade, we at Nanshi have Far East Trade, which mainly deals in artworks and old machinery, with a net profit of US$928 million last year.
Last year was an extremely special year for Far East Trade. The business volume was comparable to the sum of other years, so last year’s net profit was also quite special and could not reflect the true situation of Far East Trade.”
Last year, Russia looked okay at a macro level, but at a micro level, many of the privileged people in the past did not have an easy time. While their power was still in place, the new machines that they were reluctant to move in the past became old machines on the verge of being scrapped last year.
“In the field of art, we at Nanshi have Dabifan Company, which has four subsidiaries: Pioneer Gallery, Dabifan Art Exhibition Hall, Hongxue Fund, and Tang and Song Auction House.
Dabifan's business in the field of oriental art and oil painting spreads across the United States, Canada, Britain, France, China, and Japan. Not only does it have a good net profit every year, it has also made friends with a large number of old aristocrats and upstarts. Many oil paintings have been transformed from trash into masterpieces in Dabifan's hands.
Since its establishment, Dabifan has contributed $426 million in net profit and holds about $3.5 billion worth of genuine paintings handed down from ancient times, which still has a lot of room for appreciation in the future. Please note that the appreciation space I refer to here refers to paintings that do not need to be vigorously promoted, as opposed to paintings that are hyped up.
BOSS said that the name Da Bifan comes from the combination of Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso and Van Gogh, so Da Bifan naturally needs to have the works of these three masters.
In fact, the paintings in Dabifan's hands are all works of masters. As long as oil paintings are still popular among people, the paintings in Dabifan's hands will continue to appreciate in value.
In addition, Dabifan also holds thousands of fine paintings by deceased painters. In the future, Dabifan will push up the prices of the paintings in batches.
Artists often do not follow the rules. Things that are not tolerated by most people in the world are what they are most willing to do. Only artists who are not bound by worldly affairs and are free in their hearts can create great works.
For Dabifan, the more unrestrained an artist is, the sooner he can meet God after becoming famous, the better it is. In this way, Dabifan will never lack fine paintings of deceased painters. "
Nan Yi signaled Sandeep to stop, cleared his throat and said, "First-class companies set standards, and the same is true in the field of art. Dabifan can also explore in this direction, either by holding competitions or promoting a painting ability certification.
Among those who study painting, only a very small number can become painters. Most people can only regard painting as a hobby, which may add points to love and communication, but cannot bring any direct benefits.
Given a choice, cowboys would not want their children to remain cowboys when they grow up. It is every parent's common wish that their children have a better life than themselves, and there are few parents who do not want their children to receive the best education.
This is even more true in countries with poor social welfare. The income levels of different types of work vary greatly, with the upper limit reaching the sky and the lower limit being deep in the mud. Most parents hope that their children will have a good job.
For example, in China, there has been a traditional idea of wanting sons to become successful and daughters to become phoenixes since ancient times. Mencius's "Mencius' Mother Moved Three Times", Yue Fei's "The Mother-in-law Embroidered a Character", Ouyang Xiu's "Drawing on the Bamboo to Teach Son", and Tao Kan's "Cutting the Hair to Keep the Guests" are all stories related to educating future generations.
Confucian culture has an ideological characteristic, which is the excessive emphasis on worldly life and daily ethics.
Compared with the Western belief in God, this characteristic of Confucian culture is more humanistic. If we say that the Western belief in God is the pursuit of the spirit of "denying the world and pursuing heaven", then transcendence in heaven is regarded as external transcendence.
The Confucian culture is that 'spiritual transcendence can be achieved in this world'. Spiritual transcendence can be cultivated in reality without having to wait until heaven. It is regarded as inner transcendence.
It is this kind of inner transcendent value orientation that has shaped the basic character of Chinese culture and has become the spiritual fulcrum for the Chinese people to make their living for thousands of years.
From Confucius and Mencius to Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, Confucian culture has always been a worldly learning based on self-cultivation, from the emperor to the common people. "
Nan Yi looked at the confusion on the faces of the others, smiled, and said, "Ha, you are not studying Chinese history, so it will be difficult for you to understand what I am saying. I will omit some of it and directly tell you the conclusion I want to make.
For thousands of years, the Chinese people have been deeply influenced by the Confucian culture of inner transcendence passed down from generation to generation. They have also witnessed the transcendent status of scholars. In addition, the hardships of survival for the lower-class farmers under the tax structure of agricultural civilization based mainly on agricultural taxes have made the Chinese people inclined towards realism and utilitarianism.
Parents also have a very strong utilitarian mentality when it comes to their children’s education. Thoughts and fun are not important. What is important is to beat peers through learning and then obtain scarce resources that can help one move up the social ladder.
Therefore, when parents choose learning content for their children, they often use whether it can increase their children's competitiveness as the standard. If it is possible, they will tighten their belts and do everything they can to make their children learn it. If it is not possible, they will never touch it.
Since Rachel wanted to learn piano when she was a child, I couldn't help but learn about the piano, including the history of its development in China.
Twenty-five years ago, not many people in China had seen a piano. However, due to political needs at the time, the piano concerto "Yellow River" could be heard wherever there was a radio. This made many Chinese people who had no idea what music was know that there was an instrument called the piano, and they associated it with the highest embodiment of politics, leaving a mark in their minds that the piano was very advanced.
After entering the 1980s, the Chinese people, whose shackles were freed, built an idealistic and liberal era of literature and art. Young people who had been hungry for too long in their thoughts took up music and poetry. It was considered a great thing to be able to sing songs that others could not, recite or even compose poems that others did not know.
Of course, there is also a more practical benefit, which is that it is easier to find a partner. "
Nan Yi's words made everyone smile knowingly, and they concentrated on listening to what Nan Yi was going to say next.
"This is true for young people who are still single, but young parents who already have children and are entering middle age are pinning their hopes on their children to pursue the ideals of their lost youth. Perhaps it is because of the piano imprint they had on them that they all choose to let their children learn piano, either by coincidence or through mutual influence.
In the early 1980s, most of the first batch of children in China who learned piano were the embodiment of their parents' dreams, and they were not very utilitarian, although the children might have preferred to use the time they spent practicing the piano to play.
By 1982-1984, the second batch of children learning piano were very different from the first batch. By this time, the pockets of Chinese businessmen had become bulging, but they were not recognized by society. Most parents still hoped that their children would have a formal job with a certain degree of power in the future.
It just so happened that the first three batches of college students who graduated from school after the resumption of the college entrance examination were all given the status of cadres as soon as they graduated, and their jobs were jobs that ordinary people would never be able to reach in their lifetime. Therefore, studying, taking the college entrance examination, and becoming a cadre became the ideals of many children, and learning the piano also took on a utilitarian color.
It may be to enhance children's comprehensive competitiveness or to prepare for studying abroad. However, in general, the first and second batches of children who learned piano were still relatively blind. They did not know what learning piano could bring.
In 1985, Richard Clayderman's piano music tapes entered China, which opened up a new world for the Chinese people - it turned out that piano music could be so beautiful, it turned out that I could understand piano music, and it turned out that if I played the piano well, I could become a world celebrity.
I remember that there were many stories about the piano in the newspapers back then. Someone in the West got to know someone else because of the piano, and from then on embarked on the road to success in life; a certain pianist was respected by important people in a certain place, and so on. These stories greatly raised the status of the piano.
It can be said that Richard Clayderman has brought the piano fever in China, which was already a little hot, to a new level.
Let me put it this way, in the early 1980s, there were only about a hundred people in China who could teach piano at a good level. To be more precise, most of the teaching content provided by these hundred people was relatively superficial and outdated.
In the ten years that followed, the situation improved slightly, but there were still not enough professional piano teachers. Piano teachers with relatively high levels were a scarce resource in this decade and their incomes were relatively high.
Entering the 1990s, China's business atmosphere became increasingly strong, and commercial capital began to inject into the piano teaching industry. Piano learning classes and training classes popped up like mushrooms after a rain. What to do when there are not enough piano teachers?
It's easy. Keyboard players who play electronic organs, accordions, etc. are pulled into the team of piano teachers. As for music, once you learn one, you can master everything. All keyboards look the same, so you can get started once you are familiar with them.
Let's not worry about whether these piano teachers are qualified or not, and just talk about the impact of commercial capital on piano teaching. The first is that they are filling the gaps, causing many children to take the wrong first step on the piano path and the foundation they lay is wrong.
The second is to cater to the needs of parents. Commercial capital began to promote the importance of piano for children. As long as they learn piano, your children will have more advantages in competition with other children. Those advantages are all fabricated, so I won’t talk about them. "
Nan Yi waved his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then continued: "I talked about Confucianism and the history of piano development in China to illustrate one issue - Chinese parents are very purposeful and utilitarian in educating their children.
Back to painting, the reason why I wanted to launch the painting ability certification certificate is to find a way out for children who learn painting but cannot become painters. Holding a higher-level painting ability certification certificate can be a stepping stone for large companies, and they can be competent for a job as a graphic designer, illustrator, etc. in large companies.
Dabifan can create a "certificate" system to issue certificates to children and to the painting teachers who teach children. To get the certificate, of course you need to pay the registration fee and the examination fee, and come to the designated place at the designated time, check into the recommended hotel, and after a good rest, take the exam on the second day or even the third day.
Start with one country and gradually expand the system abroad..."
Nan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Or we can settle for the next best thing and push a certain country's education department to implement this system, and we can take advantage of the training."
"Nan Sheng, your plan is very big, but the benefits you can get in the end are not much, it's not worth it. Do you want Nan Group to enter the cultural industry?"
Nan Yi looked at Liang Huiwen and smiled gently, "To be precise, our interests will fall on real estate. We will start with painting, enter the cultural industry, and then promote cultural and creative real estate projects. The core is still selling houses, but it is just wrapped in a gorgeous coat.
The strategy team should study this carefully and come up with a practical solution.
Sandeep, go on."
"OK." Sandeep nodded, "Next, I will introduce our Nanshi's industry in the field of real estate and docks, Creativity Real Estate, which has three subsidiaries, Tota Construction, Chunshen Construction, and Siyang Group; there is Fangshi Real Estate, which is entrusted to Fangshi Group; and there is also a holding company, Nanchen Construction.
Tota Architecture is based in the capital of China. It entered the capital's real estate market starting with the renovation of the Xidan Stadium, and later participated in the renovation of the old city, the construction of the China World Trade Center, and the Fangzhuang residential area. Currently, it is planning and constructing the old site of the Shengchen Pharmaceutical Factory and the renovation of a street near Wangfujing.
After the renovation of that street is completed, it will generate hundreds of millions of RMB in rental income every year.
Chunshen Construction is based on the development of the Pudong land in Shanghai. Starting from the Nanguan 010 project that our Nanshi has withdrawn from, BOSS has already been planning in Pudong. Currently, the Pudong land held by Chunshen Construction is being slowly developed, and its main focus is on the construction of Wulinyuan in Puxi, which will be launched at the beginning of next year.
Siyang Group was reorganized from the original Zhengguo Gaoma Company. It is mainly engaged in the investment and construction of docks and highways. It has four subsidiaries: Zhengguo Gaoma, Knok Company, Columbus Company and Aegean Company.
Based in China, Zhengguo High-speed Engineering Co., Ltd. has invested a lot of money in the construction of highways in Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces. It has also invested in Yantian Port in Guangdong Province. Nan's Investment has allocated HK$10 billion to it, and Nan Guo Bank has loaned HK$2.5 billion and raised US$2.1 billion from external financing.
It has now entered the cost recovery period and is expected to enter the profit period between 2003 and 2005.
Based in Africa, Knok is involved in the investment in the multifunctional port area of Djibouti Port in the Republic of Djibouti, which is currently under construction.
Columbus is based in America and is building the Columbus Container Terminal at the Port of Ensenada, Mexico, which is also still under construction.
Aegean is based in Europe. Its main goal at present is to obtain partial operating rights of the Panama Canal. To achieve this goal, it is conducting public relations in both Panama and the United States.
Fang’s Real Estate is just a shell company of Creativity Real Estate. Some projects will be participated in the name of Fang’s Real Estate. Creativity Real Estate has many such shell companies. Different projects will be registered under different shell companies, which makes it more convenient to handle accounts.
Nanchen Construction is based in Guangzhou, and we, the Nan family, do not have much management power over it. All contacts with Nanchen Village Shuangnan Holdings are handled by BOSS. "
"The current development of all the enterprises in Nanchen Village is relatively optimistic. Nanchen Village and I are in a honeymoon period, and there is no sign of deterioration in the relationship for the time being. Optimistically speaking, some friction may arise during the transition period between the old and new management of Nanchen Village. It's not a big problem, and I can handle it." Nan Yi explained.
Ma Shimin said: "Adam, we only hold 50% of Shuangnan Holdings' shares. We don't have controlling rights, so there may be hidden dangers in the future."
Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "I will soon promote the management shareholding plan in Nanchen Village. Don't worry about the shares. Moreover, once the relationship between me and Nanchen Village deteriorates, it won't matter much whether I control the company or not.
I have a lot of selfish motives for the Nanchen Village plan. For the Nan Group, you can treat it as an investment instead of treating it as a subsidiary of the Nan Group."
Ma Shimin nodded and Sandeep continued.
"Tangqianyan Group has four subsidiaries: Wangyoubei Media, Genzhengmiaohong Trading, Genzhengmiaohong (Xiangzhen), and Artist Care Fund.
Wangbei Media has a good development momentum and is on the way to becoming the number one advertising company in China; Genzhengmiaohong Trading currently has no business in operation.
Genzhengmiaohong (Xiangzhen), whose main role is to hold shares in Yaqing Company. Currently, the development of Yaqing Company is very good. It has established Asia comprehensive commercial complex in Shanghai, Yangcheng and Shenzhen.
The profits of Mama Good Food and Kaiyun Supermarket under Yaqing Company are increasing every year. The development of Qinghe International is not very good and has shown signs of decline. Mr. Yuan can make suggestions to Miss. Yang to separate Qinghe International from Yaqing Company or sell it directly.
Artist Care Fund...
Bolin Investment Holdings has three subsidiaries: British Airways Capital, Cannes Cement and Canary Wharf Group.
British Capital Partners has been committed to investing in valuable British companies since 1984. In 1989, British Capital Partners was able to generate its own funds and no longer needed funding support from Nan's Investment Holdings. In 1992, it completed cost recovery and entered a profit-making period. In 1993, it was no longer limited to development in the UK.
Currently, British Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has shifted its investment focus to Asia, especially China.
Cannes Yingni...
Canary Wharf Group, my depression is also due to it, ten years, a full ten years, do you know how I spent these ten years? "
Sandeep screamed, "Money, money, every time I call, it's all about money. Damn Dunstone, he never pays attention to the time difference. It's so hard. I finally waited until the day when it made a profit."
Nan Yi felt the same way. It was really not easy. He knew that Canary Wharf was a good project, but the long investment period was so tiring. If it weren't for the strong foundation of the Nan family, he would have been dragged down.
Okay, it’s finally done. It will take five or six years to recover the cost, and then it will be a huge profit.
Then, Sandep introduced the situations of subsidiaries such as Sophie Investment Holdings, Fang Group, Ikeda Company, Gunner, Jingxi E-Commerce, Ganfeng Technology, Dream Town, Labor Group, October Company, Vasily Bank, Vasily Supermarket, and PY Securities, but did not mention certain layouts in Africa.
Finally, Nan Yi gave a summary and looked forward to a bright future.
After three days and three mornings, the inventory meeting was finally successfully concluded, and Nan Yi could finally breathe a sigh of relief .
Nan is not keen on holding meetings, and does not hold large-scale meetings often. The plans are clear and the responsibilities are clear. There is no need to hold a meeting for everyone to shirk responsibility. It is clear who should be punished and rewarded. Whoever deserves it gets it, and there is no point in shirking responsibility.
After the meeting, Nan Yi returned to Zhao Shixian's villa and served Nan Ruoqi a meal of complementary food. After the child fell asleep, Nan Yi took his baby daughter out for a walk.
It is unknown how long it will take for him to return to the capital this time, so Nan Yi must seize the time to spend more time with his precious daughter.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Nan Yi boarded the plane on time to avoid using his privilege to make the plane wait. Whether he had checked in or not, Nan Yi could ask the plane to wait for him for a while. After all, the airlines and airports make a lot of money from him every year. If Nan's money is included, it will have to wait for a week.
"Nansheng, your magazine."
After the plane took off, a flight attendant came to Nan Yi's seat with a magazine.
"Ya Lun, when are you going to break up with your boyfriend?" Nan Yi took the magazine and spoke sweetly to the flight attendant Guo Ya Lun.
Nan Yi flew between Xianggang and Beijing many times. There were only a few flights between the two cities, so he could chat with the flight attendants he had met many times.
Guo Yalun put on a professional smile and said to Nan Yi in a polite manner, "Nansheng, I have a good relationship with my boyfriend, please don't curse me, okay?"
"Haha, we haven't broken up yet." Nan Yi smacked his lips. "Then I'll ask you next time. When you break up, I will definitely pursue you. I have already prepared a 180-carat Russian jade ring for you. I have also applied for a 40-foot resettlement villa for you in Shek Kip Mei. As long as you follow me, all of these will be yours."
Guo Yalun secretly rolled her eyes at Nan Yi and said, "My boyfriend gave me a two-carat diamond ring. He lives in Repulse Bay."
"Tsk, your boyfriend is so stingy, he even gave me two carats as a gift."
"More generous than you." Guo Yalun spat at Nan Yi, "I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go serve other passengers. I wish you a pleasant journey."
"Have fun, too."
Nan Yi smiled and lowered his head to flip through the magazine in his hand.
Behind Nan Yi, a woman wearing sunglasses kept staring at him, as if she was trying to figure out if he was someone she knew. After a while, she looked away and flipped through the magazine in her hand.
More than two hours passed in a flash. At around six in the evening, Nan Yi appeared at the exit. The woman in sunglasses followed him and walked a few quick steps. She walked past him and took a look at his face.
Seeing Nan Yi's face clearly, the woman in sunglasses pulled them down a little, revealing her eyes, and asked tentatively, "Brother Nan Yi?"
Nan Yi looked at the woman's face, then her whole body, and grinned, "My beautiful lady, you must have recognized the wrong person. Who do you want to call me brother? You should call me Uncle Nan Yi."
"You're only six years older than me." The woman in sunglasses pouted.
"Haha, let's go. Don't stand here. Someone will recognize you soon."
Nan Yi said this and walked towards the exit first.
When we got outside and found out that the other party didn't have a car to pick us up, he invited us to get in his car.
As soon as she got in the car, the woman in sunglasses took off her sunglasses, revealing a face that everyone knew, "Brother Nan Yi, when did you move back to Beijing?"
"Not long after, my wife was transferred back to Beijing and moved back. What about you? Where are you coming back from?" Nan Yi looked at Chen Lu in front of him with a little emotion. He hadn't seen her for more than ten years, and when he saw her again, she was no longer the innocent little girl she used to be.
"Canada. I'm filming there."
Hearing this, Nan Yi smiled and said, "Canada is so amazing that they have gone abroad to film movies. Will they enter Hollywood next?"
"No, it's a domestic drama, we just went to Canada to shoot the scenes."
"oh."
"That's pretty impressive. I've watched the TV series you've starred in over the years. You've become more and more beautiful, but your acting skills haven't improved much."
Chen Lu got anxious when she heard Nan Yi's words, "Who has no acting skills? Everyone praises my good acting skills."
"Oh, do you blush when you say that?"
"Brother Nan Yi, you also said that my acting skills are bad." Chen Lu's face drooped.
Chen Lu was very popular at the time and was one of the top actresses in the country. Her acting skills were also discussed in film and television newspapers and magazines. To be polite, the reviews were average, but to be blunt, her performance was at the level of a county cultural center.
"It's not that bad actually. It's mainly because you're so beautiful. The audience's expectations of your acting skills will be on par with your looks."
"hehe."
After Nan Yi's explanation, Chen Lu felt better. The two chatted about the past for a while and then returned to the present.
"Brother Nan Yi, I'm in love."
"I know."
"He's divorced, a dozen years older than me, and has a girlfriend."
"I know that, too."
"Do you think I'm a bad woman?"
"My opinion is not important, your own feelings are important. As long as you feel happy, that's enough."
"I don't know if I am happy with him. I am a little confused."
"Then take a closer look. Wait until you feel clearer before going deeper." Nan Yi said, opening his notebook, writing down the address of the old house and handing it to Chen Lu. "Write to me if you can still find the feeling you had back then."
Chen Lu's get-off point had already been reached, and the car had been parked on the side of the road for a while.
"Brother Nan Yi, everyone uses pagers and mobile phones nowadays. I have a pager, you can call me." Chen Lu glanced at the address and said.
Nan Yi said disappointedly: "Okay, give me your pager number, I'll call you when I have time."
After exchanging contact information, Nan Yi let Huzai drive. After the car drove a short distance, he looked back again, feeling very unhappy about today's chance encounter. His "pen pal Chen Lu" was completely gone, and there was no thought of him anymore. If they became familiar with each other, they would only be mercenaries.
After calming down and returning to the old house, Liu Zhen had already prepared the meal. There was a large fish plate in the middle of the table, with a fish weighing about ten pounds on it.
"Liu Zhen, where did you buy the military fish?"
Liu Zhen took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen, mockingly saying, "There are fish you don't recognize?"
Hearing this, Nan Yi once again looked at the fish on the plate. After a while, he thought of a possibility, "Can't forget what SGF sent?"
"You guessed right. They said they just caught it this morning and got off the plane more than an hour earlier than you." Liu Zhen walked in front of Nan Yi and said, "It's just an ordinary freshwater fish. It was airlifted from Malaysia. You didn't mind the trouble."
"Didn't you taste the saltiness?"
"I tasted it, it's a bit fresh, but it's much worse than the fish you sent me before. Is it for nutrition ?"
"As for the taste, maybe you didn't do it right. This fish is quite famous in Malaysia. I heard that it tastes good, and the growth process also has selling points. It has the potential to be sold at a high price." Nan Yi straightened up and said, "I met my pen pal when I came out of the airport."
Liu Zhen was surprised and asked, "What a coincidence?"
