Volume 7 I've Been Here Chapter 0980: Being Kind and Not Being Kind
"I'll spend more time with you in the second half of the year." Nan Yi said with an embarrassed face.
"I don't believe it. Wait until you do it."
"You wait and see."
"Don't wait and see, come and keep me company now."
"It's not convenient. I have to have lunch with another lady at noon."
Gong Xue asked loudly: "Who is it?"
"You don't know her, but she's a beautiful, generous, and elegant lady. She said she'd give me $500,000 if I just had dinner with her. If I'm willing to make a sacrifice and spend another night with her, how much do you think she'd give me?"
"Come here now, and I'll give you 10 million yuan for your health."
"Treatment fee? I think it's resettlement fee?"
"You can say whatever you want. Can you come over after lunch?"
"Can."
When Nan Yi and Gong Xue ended their call, Tiger Cub had already driven the car to the gate of Wangfu Hotel.
After getting off the car, Nan Yi entered the hotel gate and walked around a few corridors, and finally arrived at the Chinese restaurant.
Two women sat opposite each other at a dining table. They both looked equally heroic and capable. They were also of similar age, at the stage of turning 20 to 30.
One of them is Lin Yan, an investment target that Nan Yi met in Coconut City and a distant relative of Xu Xiaofang. Before the real estate bubble in Coconut City, she discovered something was wrong in advance and cleared out the assets in Coconut City in time. Later, she came to Beijing for development and now concentrates on the real estate industry.
Another one is called Dang Aimin, the head of the China Group of the Information and Policy Committee. His public identity is the general manager of Tongde Investment. Tongde means unity of heart, and unity of heart means comrades. Tongde Investment is different from other investment companies. It does not invest in specific industries, but only invests in people, helping the targets to develop their careers and giving them a pair of wings to fly.
In fact, it stands to reason that the glove group does not need to hide its head and show its tail. It just supports the "future winners" it thinks are promising, just like venture capital. After success, it will share some of the profits. If it fails, it can only blame itself for its bad luck.
This is a completely normal investment behavior. It is neither immoral nor violates the laws of any country. For the selected targets, the glove group can be said to be a lucky person. It is obviously a mutually beneficial thing, but it cannot be done too high-profile.
No matter where you are, forming gangs has always been a taboo behavior for a group of people. It is better to enter the village quietly and without firing guns.
The Nan family is too weak, its logic is not logic, and now they can only talk about other people's logic.
Nan Yi walked over to Dang Aimin and sat down, then said to the two of them, "Lin Yan, Aimin, have you ordered?"
Lin Yan waved to the waiter and said, "Not yet, wait for Mr. Nan to order."
"No, you decide. I'm fine with whatever I want. I can eat anything." Nan Yi waved at Lin Yan, tilted his head and said to Dang Aimin, "You want to take three months off?"
"Yes."
"To keep the baby safe?"
"No, I want to..."
Nan Yi raised his hand to interrupt Dang Aimin's words, "It's your freedom to take leave to do whatever you want. You don't need to tell me. I thought if you were pregnant, you could take paid maternity leave instead."
Dang Aimin lifted her hair and said, "I just need to do some personal things."
"Well, I will also be participating in the finals of this year's Minesweeper competition, and you will meet a strong opponent."
Dang Aimin smiled and said, "Really? Why did I hear that Mr. Nan didn't get a place in the qualifying round last year?"
Many small competitions are held within the Nan Group every year. The Nan Guo Bank system has football and basketball games, Shennong Nanliang has agricultural machinery rallies and cowboy competitions, etc. The Information and Strategy Committee also has its own competitions, such as minesweeping, golf, and chess. In short, except for holidays, they find some excuses to be lazy when they are not busy.
"I'm a different person now. See you in the finals." Nan Yi laughed and hoped that he would have better luck this year and make it to the finals.
"I hope to see Mr. Nan in the finals."
Lin Yan ordered the dishes and joined the conversation between Nan Yi and the others. "Mr. Nan, the printing plant land project in cooperation with the Daily Newspaper will be completed at the beginning of next year. I need to find a second project now. Do you have any suggestions?"
Nan Yi picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip of water, and said calmly: "Did you know that heavy industry will be moved out of the capital?"
“Yes.”
"Ai Min, do you have a map?"
"have."
Dang Aimin took out a map of Beijing from his bag and spread it on the table. Nan Yi glanced at the map, then pointed to a point and said, "This is where the First Machine Tool Factory is located. It will be moved to the suburbs soon. The First Machine Tool Factory has capable people and does not intend to sell this land at a low price. They have set up a development office and want to jointly develop it with the real estate company."
Lin Yan looked at the map for a while. "I know this piece of land. Many real estate companies have negotiated with it. Some companies have even paid deposits to go through the formalities, but they haven't gotten it done yet. The land procedures are a bit complicated."
Nan Yi smiled and said, "Old city renovation is a major policy in Beijing at present. Have you ever thought about why the procedures for this piece of land are so difficult to handle under such circumstances?"
Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "Mr. Nan, are you saying that the city government has big plans around this piece of land?"
Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "I don't know whether the municipal government has such a plan, but if I were in charge of urban planning, I would plan the First Machine Tool Factory and the surrounding 1.5 kilometers as the CBD, with the First Machine Tool Factory as the center point."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan stared at the map and fell into deep thought.
From the time when one dish was not served to the time when five or six dishes were placed around the map on the table, Lin Yan was still in a state of thinking.
Nan Yi and Dang Aimin did not disturb Lin Yan's thoughts. They both ate the yam soup that the waiter brought last. The name was a bit vulgar, but the ingredients were not. Nan Yi tasted the flavors of flying dragon and abalone in the broth, and the smooth stuff was shark fin.
After tasting it carefully, the flying dragon did not seem to be wild, so Nan Yi's appetite was aroused and he scooped it up in big mouthfuls with a spoon.
Nan Yi hates people eating wild animals the most, especially those he raises.
The prices of wild animals have skyrocketed in the past two years. Nan Yi heard from Yu Hui from Yujiatun that the number of wild deer in Changbai Mountain has decreased sharply. She has been to the top of the mountain and has seen that many wild deer have run to North Korea. Their range of activities ends at the border and they do not come into the country.
Her reindeer reindeer skills will soon be of no use. It will be difficult for the female deer in the deer farm to find wild male deer to mate. After a few generations of breeding, the deer in the farm will completely become domesticated deer.
Nan Yi felt sad for the wild deer, but also a little secretly happy. In fact, the Yujiatun Deer Farm already had a lot of say in the antler field. As long as they didn't ship any goods for half a year, the price of the antler would go up. If they suddenly shipped a large amount of goods, the price of the antler would go down.
Deer antlers have become the private domain of the reclamation group. No one should get their hands on it and try to hoard it. If anyone is stubborn, he will go bankrupt at best, or his wife will try to find a better partner in order not to increase his burden.
Without anyone interfering, the price of velvet antlers can follow the market, and as inflation increases year by year, the reclamation group can reap stable profits every year.
Stability is the most important thing in breeding. Pursuing huge profits will also lead to a sharp drop. A fat man who eats too much will be eaten to death sooner or later. If the Reclamation Group wants to develop into a century-old enterprise, it must not have too much speculative thinking.
Nan Yi finished his bowl of yam soup, and then Lin Yan looked up at him and said, "Mr. Nan, I want to go to the Construction Committee and the Planning Bureau. If the land of the First Machine Tool Factory is worth gambling on, I plan to pay a larger deposit to the Development Office and sign a three-year exclusive agreement with them."
"Think carefully. The First Machine Tool Factory wants a deposit, not a down payment. If I guess wrong, a large sum of money will be thrown into the water."
Lin Yan bit her lip and said, "If it's worth betting, I'll bet."
"Haha." Nan Yi smiled and pointed at the dishes on the table with his chopsticks, "Eat the dishes first while they're hot."
Nan Yi was not worried at all that the piece of land he guessed would not become a CBD. First, according to his recollection, that piece of land should have been a CBD in his previous life; second, that piece of land was directly opposite the Phase II of the China World Trade Center and was indeed suitable for building a CBD; third, Creativity Real Estate would bring one or two partners to the north to initiate a project to build a CBD in that piece of land, and would also promise to invite a number of large overseas companies to settle in.
With all three combined, the chances of not succeeding are slim.
In fact, the third point is more than enough. The biggest concern of CBD is the failure to attract investment, which not only affects the cost recovery and profit of investors, but also makes the local government's idea of increasing tax revenue go awry. If the issue of enterprise settlement is solved, the local government can just sit back and wait for tax collection. Why not?
Moreover, the concept of land finance has been formed, and local governments are happy to see land prices rise. You know, a CBD can completely drive the appreciation of a large area of surrounding land.
After discussing the serious matters, the dinner party turned into a banquet and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Nan Yi was already sitting in Gong Xue's office.
"I didn't see Xu Hui when I walked in just now. What ?"
"She likes to interact with entrepreneurs and wealthy people. I am asking someone to take her out to work. Once she is familiar with Wangbei Media's business, I will let her work alone."
"Ha, Sister Xingfu, you are now a qualified businessman. You have made the best use of your talents." Nan Yi said with a smile, and thought for a while, "It seems that Piaget has launched a new diamond-studded hollow bracelet watch. The price is a bit expensive, equivalent to about RMB 140,000. Buy one and give it to her."
Gong Xue stared at Nan Yi with her eyes, shook her left hand, revealing the Roman watch on her wrist.
Nan Yi glanced at the watch and said, "Women have two values. One is to wear a very expensive watch to show that they are worth twice as much. The other is to wear an ordinary watch because our Sister Xingfu has worn it, so it becomes a hundred times more valuable. A Roman watch with Sister Xingfu's body fragrance has a starting price of 100 million US dollars."
Gong Xue smiled sweetly, "You only know how to say nice things, and you've never given me any expensive gifts."
Nan Yi's face straightened, and he said passionately: "Women's independence begins with economic independence. I will devote my whole life to the battle for women's independence. Sister Xingfu, please remember that you are not a man's vassal. Just buy what you like yourself."
"Where's your face?"
"I washed it yesterday and it's not dry yet."
"Hate."
Gong Xue picked up a piece of paper from the table, crumpled it into a ball and threw it at Nan Yi.
Nan Yi grabbed the ball of paper, tossed it in his hand, unfolded it, and put it back on the table. "You wear a watch while riding a bicycle, so you have to save money. Half of this paper is still useless."
“I heard a successful entrepreneur say that money is earned, not saved.”
"Tsk, the person who said that has impure motives, he either runs a shopping mall or sells fast-moving consumer goods, or he sells business manuals." Nan Yi said disdainfully: "What is a successful entrepreneur? When a person dies, it can only be considered half successful if his grandchildren are still running the family business well.
Either you have all your children and donate all your property before you die, that is considered moral success. At a certain stage, if you have 50 or 60 children, it is not considered success, that is just bragging, and you will be struck by lightning. "
"What if, what if, if you don't have any children, would you donate your property?"
Nan Yi leaned back in his chair and said, "No, charity has never been simple since it appeared. In the past, it was just for fame, and charity could still be considered charity. In the future, at least most of the charity will not be charity, but an industry in the commercial field, pursuing high profits."
"I don't believe it. There are still many kind-hearted people in the world."
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Morality and honor are not as important as four ounces of money on your chest, and even less important than five pounds of cash. There will be companies listed under the guise of charity that will reap profits and slap you in the face.
Charity is a good cover. Zhang San can do it, and so can Li Si. You can also set up a charity organization, inject the wages of the company's employees for the next ten or twenty years into this charity organization, and then transfer their relationships to it. In the future, they will do the work of the company but receive the salary of the charity organization.
From left hand to right hand, fame is gained but profit is saved."
Gong Xue asked suspiciously, "How can money be saved? No matter where the employees get their salary from, don't they have to spend the same amount of money?"
"You can study the tax exemption clauses for corporate charitable expenditures in the tax laws of Western countries. Nan's companies in the United States have always donated to organizations such as the Jewish Foundation and the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation. Both of these can offset part of the tax.
The accountant will calculate a reasonable number, which will not only save some tax expenses but also earn you a good reputation.
This kind of rule is more beneficial than harmful to both the public and the private. We don't have such a clause now, but we will definitely have it in the future. When it comes to the ability to exploit loopholes, the Jews have to be humble and call us "ancestors."
"Who can predict the future? Besides, do you have the nerve to take advantage of this loophole?"
"How is that possible? I have so many banners for being an advanced taxpayer that they can't even fit in one room. I'm going to build a big house someday just to keep the banners." Nan Yi said exaggeratedly.
Gong Xue rolled her eyes at Nan Yi and asked, "Would you like some water?"
"I've been here for so long, and you just remembered to ask me?" Nan Yi said, stretching his body, picking up Gong Xue's teacup and bringing it to his mouth. He took a sip, smacked his lips, and felt that the taste was not right. He lowered his head to look into the cup and saw a Chinese medicine-like substance floating in it. "What's in it?"
"Hahaha." Gong Xue laughed loudly: "Health tea, it regulates endocrine."
"Pah, pah, pah!"
Nan Yi spat several times to spit out all the debris in his mouth, then took a glass of water from the dispenser and rinsed his mouth.
After the crumbs in his mouth were cleared, Nan Yi sat back in his chair and teased Gong Xue, "Aging is a very normal physiological phenomenon. Instead of trying every possible means to preserve a false youthful appearance, it is better to age gracefully."
"It's easy for you to say that. What if I don't pay attention to my maintenance and enter menopause early?" Gong Xue said angrily.
"No, there are no signs at all. You are still in a good mood and speak softly. Don't be too stressed. The more you worry, the faster you will age. Don't worry about it. Stay in a good mood."
"As long as you come and spend more time with me, I will definitely feel better." Gong Xue's words directly killed Nan Yi.
