Volume 7 I've Been Here Chapter 1019 Is it such a coincidence?
After complaining inwardly, Nan Yi took out his phone and called Xiangkeng. He first asked Luo Zhaohui about Jieren Group, but the other party said he didn't know. After ending the call, Nan Yi thought about it and called Nanguo Bank to inquire, only to be told that there was no record of this customer.
Then, Nan Yi contacted Gui Li Gao in a roundabout way, and learned from him that seven years ago, the boss of Jie Ren Electronics Factory had borrowed a loan of 9 million Hong Kong dollars from his financial company. When doing "background check", he found out that the boss lady of Jie Ren was a girl from mainland China named Zheng Yuqing.
Gui Ligao didn't know any further information. He was able to expose Jie Ren thanks to a smart and capable master with a good memory.
Just when Nan Yi was thinking about who to ask for information about Hu Jian, Long Huiqing walked up the stairs to the second floor and walked straight towards Nan Yi, "What do you think of my hair?"
Nan Yi glanced at Long Huiqing's hair. It was the same hairstyle as yesterday, without any changes. After thinking for a moment, he thought that she might have dyed her hair with the kind of hair dye that could only be seen in the sun.
"What color?"
"Chestnut brown." Long Huiqing said as she sat down next to Nan Yi. "It's really unlucky today. I'll make a haircut to change my luck."
"What's wrong?" Nan Yi said, blocking Long Huiqing's claws from taking his teacup with his hand, "Don't be so arrogant, pour yourself a cup."
"Tsk, you stingy bastard." Long Huiqing spat, took a cup from the table, poured herself some water, drank half a cup in one breath, and then started talking, "When I first came to Shanghai, I happened to meet my former sister Wala Wala. I chatted with her for a while. She knew that I had switched to a legitimate business, and it was jewelry, so she invited me to attend the opening ceremony of her new restaurant.
I went to support her today, but she dared to leave me aside and didn't even say a word of courtesy to me. I was so angry. This gossipy woman, if it weren't for me, she wouldn't be in this situation today!"
As Long Huiqing spoke, she became more depressed and drank the half cup of water in one gulp.
"What does wah-wah-wah mean?"
"He's a great drinker. He can make guests vomit all over the place." Long Huiqing said.
Nan Yi suddenly realized, "Oh, the sisters you are talking about are the ladies under your former command?"
"Yes, this gossip, she only made 2,000 yuan a month when she started working in Shenzhen. It was me, I, who brought her to Hong Kong and made her 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a month."
"Come on, you're a mommy, not a nun, don't make yourself sound so great. Are you talking about something that's very good for men?"
Although working in a nightclub is quite profitable, if you go back a few years, you can earn 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a month, which is definitely the best among the best.
" Of course I have a set, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Shencun to recruit her." Long Huiqing adjusted her sitting position and said with great joy, "Since I recruited her, my team's monthly performance has increased by 50%. Wow, wow, wow, it's very sharp. It didn't take long to catch several big fish..."
Speaking of big water pipes, Long Huiqing's face changed again, "Huh, gossip, this morning in her shop, she didn't greet me at first, I thought it was because she didn't want people to know that she used to be a prostitute, but who knew, when she was cutting the ribbon, her two godfathers also showed up, who knew who, and one of them was introduced by me."
"Wow wow wow still single?"
"How is that possible? She got married a long time ago. In the past, when the nightclub business was slow, I would bring my sisters to eat supper together. We all got along well and she would tell me about her past. She started out as a street vendor very early. She worked as a pile driver on some road. She did some small business. Later, she met her husband who was a sailor and her business became bigger."
"Wow wow wow...what's her real name?"
"Ye Meilan."
"Ye Meilan..." Nan Yi pondered over it for a moment, then continued calmly, "What did Ye Meilan pour when she was making the piling mold? What kind of ship does her husband run? Ocean-going?"
"You guessed it right. Ye Meilan's husband is a sailor on an ocean-going ship. It seems that his income is relatively high in the mainland, and her husband can also bring her some foreign cigarettes."
Nan Yi smiled and said, "Selling foreign cigarettes is quite profitable, and you have a husband who earns a good salary. Why did you stop doing it later?"
"Ye Meilan has strong sexual needs. Her husband rarely spends much time on shore. She said that she settled down for a year after getting married because she had a child. After the child was born, she took a lover outside. Who knew that she met a man who not only cheated her of all her money, but also took her to Shenzhen."
[Guyezai, a profession that relies on one's looks and kung fu to trick rich girls into giving them pocket money or poor girls into prostitution, is more despicable than the usual gigolo because Guyezai is professional, systematic, and team-based.]
"Didn't you say Ye Meilan is very good at dealing with men? How come she was tricked into being by a gigolo?"
"Don't you know that it takes a process for a woman to grow? If Ye Meilan hadn't been sent to a nightclub by her brother-in-law and beaten up there, how could she have become mature?" Long Huiqing said as a matter of course.
"Haha, that's right. Tell me, how did you know there's a really good Wala Wala in Shencun?"
"There was a time when the girls under my command were not good enough. A customer mentioned this unintentionally when he was complaining. I paid attention and inquired about it. I thought Ye Meilan was a talent, so I poached her. She worked under me for less than two years and got to know many big names. I recognized two of them as my godfathers and then stopped working.
The last time we met, I heard her say that her two godfathers treated her very well and gave her a lot of capital to start a business. The Alan Liang Tang restaurant that opened today was sponsored by her two godfathers."
Suddenly, Long Huiqing's face showed a strange expression, "After returning to Shanghai, Ye Meilan seems to have fallen in love with another uncle, but this uncle is not bad. Now Alan Liangtang is run by the two of them together."
"What do you mean? There are good sons-in-law? You mean boyfriend, right?"
Long Huiqing rolled her eyes at Nan Yi, "You men, don't you understand what foster parents mean? That son-in-law clearly knew that Ye Meilan had two foster parents, but he still stayed with her. Could it be because of love?"
Nan Yi said with a smile: "Of course I know what Qiye means. I often receive sick leave certificates."
"whispering sound."
Nan Yi's face straightened and he said, "Okay, no more jokes, keep talking."
Long Huiqing mumbled for a moment, then continued, "Ye Meilan told me that the uncle's name was Zhou Zhengyi, and he started out as a cigarette paper shop and a wonton shop... Hey, what does a cigarette paper shop sell, cigarette wrapping paper?"
"No, cigarette paper should be divided into cigarettes and paper. Cigarettes are cigarettes, and paper is straw paper. A cigarette and paper shop is also called a mom-and-pop shop, which is a convenience store in an alley. Well, that's not quite right. They should be equal..." Nan Yi thought for a while and said, "A grocery store like Lin Ji on Temple Street."
"Oh, Zhou Zhengyi had been doing business for a few years and had some money. He went to Japan during the Shanghai-Japan Gold Rush. He sold hair loss products, cigarettes, and electronic products. He did whatever was easy to do and probably made several hundred thousand.
Later, by chance, Zhou Zhengyi was having lunch in a restaurant. There was a beautiful woman sitting at the next table. A group of yakuza forced themselves to sit opposite her and teased her. Zhou Zhengyi stepped in to rescue her and played the role of a hero saving a beauty. The beautiful woman fell in love with Zhou Zhengyi at first sight and gave him 6 million Hong Kong dollars as capital for his business.
With 6 million, Zhou Zhengyi packed up and returned to Shanghai to continue his business. Ye Meilan said that Zhou Zhengyi declared to the public: I, Zhou Zhengyi, do not rely on my family because my family is poor; I do not rely on women because what kind of man would I be if I relied on women to support me.
Long Huiqing's final tone was filled with sarcasm and amusement.
"The beauty you are talking about is from Xiangyuan?"
"right."
"6 million Hong Kong dollars is enough. His family should be able to afford it. Is Zhou Zhengyi helping both sides?"
"No, they broke off the relationship after I met Ye Meilan. I heard that he was so angry that he wanted to find someone to chop off Zhou Zhengyi's hand, but Ye Meilan asked Da Shuizhu to help settle the matter."
Nan Yi stroked his chin and asked, "So, Ye Meilan has a solution?"
"Very resourceful. Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask, do you know the woman downstairs?"
Nan Yi asked in surprise: "Do you know him?"
"I met her today at the opening ceremony of Alan's Soup. She was also a guest."
After hearing what Long Huiqing said, Nan Yi couldn't help but think that things seemed a little too coincidental. Could it be that someone was plotting against him?
Thinking quickly, Nan Yi said, "It's quite interesting. A woman who has a way with men and a man who has a way with women get together. This is a strong combination. Maybe, a pair of new rich stars are rising."
"The richest man? Is that possible?"
"Everything is possible." Nan Yi stared into Long Huiqing's eyes and said, "Maybe one day, you will become the richest man in a certain place. Do you remember the redemption contract I told you about?"
Long Huiqing's eyelashes trembled, "Remember."
"After the accounts are closed at the end of this year, an audit team will move into Longqing Jewelry. After I have read the audit report, someone will discuss the details of the contract with you. At that time, you don't have to worry about our personal relationship. You can argue with reason and maximize your own interests."
"If I really do this, you will kill me, right?" Long Huiqing said with a smile.
Nan Yi shook his head and said solemnly: "No, the division of interests is based on ability. At work, the relationship between you and me is between superiors and subordinates and partners. Partners will go their separate ways because they cannot strike a good balance between interests and friendship .
It is not okay to just suffer in silence or to be greedy. Both parties should show and compare their contributions. Even small things like saving office paper should be shown and scored one by one. It is okay to quarrel or even to fight, as long as a distribution plan that both parties can accept can be produced in the end.
There is still more than half a year left, so you should manage the business well, be prepared for the debate, and put aside the mentality of compromise. The person who came out to talk to you has received instructions to persuade you to give up a little more of your interests, so you should also go all out. "
Longqing Jewelry is similar to Jingxi Yiguo. Xueshan Trust will not give Jingxi Yiguo too much support. Similarly, Longqing Jewelry will not receive strong assistance from the Nan family. Both companies are classified as long-term investments rather than subsidiaries.
To be more specific, in the foreseeable future, Nan Yi is optimistic about the development of the two industries, but in the longer term, he tends to be pessimistic, so the implementation of the redemption plan is beneficial to both parties. Of course, when signing the redemption contract, someone will inform Long Huiqing of Nan Yi's views.
Just like Nan Yi told Liu Zi frankly at the beginning, he was only optimistic about the development of Jingxi Yiguo in the next 30 years. If he wanted to continue in the business for a long time, he must innovate his business model. At certain time points in the future, Nan Yi would persuade Liu Zi not to rigidify his thinking and keep up with the changes of the times.
Both Nanshi and Snow Mountain Trust will develop around several core diversifications. Apart from the core, no business is indispensable. When an area shows signs of decline, it will be evaluated. If it is irreparable or the cost is too high, it will fall into another long-term cycle of investment returns. It is completely possible to cash out and exit, and continue to wait and see. If things pick up again, you can re-enter.
As long as the capital in hand is not reduced, after the reshuffle, Nan Erqi Si can stand behind Zhao Liu, Sun Qi, and Zhou Ba who climbed up on the corpses of Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu. No matter whether it is east or west in 30 years, the Nan's submarine lurks in the river and waits silently, whichever way the wind blows, the capital will go.
"I will." Long Huiqing nodded solemnly.
"Okay, let's put the serious stuff aside for now. Please help me with something less serious. The woman down there is most likely Zheng Yuqing, a major shareholder of Jieren Group. Her husband is from Xianggang and is already dead. Please go down and talk to her. I want to know something about her, especially her relationship with Ye Meilan and their dealings with each other.
Pay attention, I don't know her. I just met her for the first time here yesterday. I checked her information secretly, and I'm not sure if she is the real one. My name is Nan Yi, I'm the boss here, and I'm the grandson of Fang Mengyin, the director of Fang Group. If you talk about me, you can only tell her this much. "
"No problem."
Long Huiqing made an OK gesture, thought and adjusted for a while, then walked downstairs.
Downstairs, Zheng Yuqing was feeling upset.
Jieren Group owns 35% of Kangde Pawnshop's shares. This investment was not made by Zheng Yuqing, but was made when her late husband was still alive. Two years ago, she inherited her late husband's shares in Jieren Group, and naturally inherited part of Kangde Pawnshop's shares.
Although Kant Pawn has had good shareholder dividends in the past two years, Zheng Yuqing does not agree with this investment. The development strategy she formulated for Jieren Group is to first develop around Hujian Mindong City, because she is from Mindong and grew up in Mindong, and is very familiar with every tree and grass there.
After gaining a firm foothold in eastern Fujian, the Jieren Group will extend its tentacles to other economically developed areas of Hu Jian, such as Ludao, Wenling, Hujiu, Putian and other economically developed areas; after Hu Jian's base is consolidated, it will then move out of the province and slowly expand to other areas.
This was the plan, but Kant Pawnshop had paid good dividends in the past and there was money to be made, so she naturally had not thought about withdrawing or transferring the shares. Who would be stupid enough to not want a stable source of income?
After coming to Shanghai this time, Zheng Yuqing's thoughts have changed a little. Kant Pawnshop's business approach is too unconventional and evil. She is very worried that Jieren Group will be implicated by it.
However, her concern was not because Kant Pawnshop was taking an unconventional approach. She herself was an evil businessman who liked to win by surprise and even liked to take crooked paths. She was definitely not a down-to-earth, law-abiding businessman. She was worried that Kant Pawnshop had no umbrella over its head, and if something went wrong, there would be no room for maneuver.
"Thunder Monkey."
While Zheng Yuqing was thinking, Long Huiqing had already come to her desk.
"Lihou."
"We met at Alan Liang Tang today."
"I remember it. Please sit down." Zheng Yuqing made an inviting gesture.
Long Huiqing sat down opposite Zheng Yuqing and said with a smile: "My name is Long Huiqing, and I work at Longqing Jewelry."
"It's Boss Long. My name is Zheng Yuqing and I work at Mindong Jieren Group." Zheng Yuqing responded with a smile.
"Should I call you Mr. Zheng or Boss Zheng?"
"Boss Long, just choose whichever one you think is more convenient."
"I'd better call you Boss Zheng, so that I won't suffer any loss." Long Huiqing said with a shy smile.
Zheng Yuqing smiled twice and lifted the hair covering her left ear, revealing the earring on her earlobe. "Boss Long, can you make custom earrings in your shop? I want to order a pair like this."
Long Huiqing examined the earrings carefully and asked, "Boss Zheng, are the pearls on the earrings golden pearls from the South Sea?"
If you do something, you have to be familiar with it. Since Long Huiqing is working in the jewelry business, it is natural for her to have some knowledge of various types of jewelry. Not to mention being able to tell the quality of jewelry at a glance and accurately estimate its price, but at least she has to be able to recognize what it is.
For example, if you cannot distinguish the origin and classification of Hetian jade, you would be embarrassed to tell others that you are a jade dealer. In fact, such people do not exist. If you are really ignorant and cannot distinguish between agate and red jade, you will be called another person - a club.
"Boss Long has a good eye. My earrings are indeed made of South Sea pearls. I wonder if your store has any rich golden South Sea pearls in stock?"
Long Huiqing took another look at the earrings and estimated the size of the pearls. "Boss Zheng, I'm sorry, I don't have pearls of the same size as yours in my store. We do have larger ones, but they need to be polished to replicate them in proportion. Both the cost of the pearls and the labor cost will be a bit higher than yours."
"Price is not a problem. Boss Long, which street is your store on? I'll go there tomorrow."
The earrings on Zheng Yuqing's ears were given to her by her late husband on their wedding anniversary one year, and he did it in front of all the shareholders of Jieren. She actually didn't want to wear them because she felt uncomfortable with them, but she hadn't completely taken control of the Jieren Group yet and still needed to rely on her late husband's power. She had to wear them no matter how reluctant she was, as they were great performance props.
Zheng Yuqing was born in 1966 and has had outstanding looks since childhood. Usually beautiful girls like to dress up, rely on their looks to make a living, and have average academic performance, but Zheng Yuqing is different. She studies hard and has successfully gone to university.
During her college years, she was very motivated and full of ideals. She wanted to create a world and make a big career through her own efforts. But this was just a temporary idea of a college student. In fact, after graduating from college, Zheng Yuqing did not go out to work in society like most people. She wanted to take a shortcut.
Through the help of her relatives, she went to Xiangkeng smoothly.
In the 1980s, Zheng Yuqing had a great advantage with her pretty face and high education. Not only did she work smoothly in Xiangkeng, she also married her late husband. She was 19 that year and her late husband was 49. A 13-year age difference could make them inseparable, and a 30-year age difference could naturally make them a loving couple.
From then on, Zheng Yuqing changed from a mainland girl to a wealthy lady in Hong Kong. She no longer had to worry about her livelihood and lived a life that countless women envied. After marriage, Zheng Yuqing stopped working and stayed at home all day, creating an impression of being well-behaved and virtuous.
The year before last, her love finally blossomed and bore fruit. After eight years of love, she finally loved her husband to the point of dying. The property he left behind was naturally inherited by Zheng Yuqing. At the age of 27, she became the head of the Jieren Group.
To outsiders, when her husband was alive, Zheng Yuqing was just a wealthy lady who stayed at home idle and never asked about business matters. She was no different from an ordinary woman. She took over the Jieren Group, but she probably had no idea where to start and what kind of difficulties the group would face.
The reason for having such an idea is that people have not really understood Zheng Yuqing. Her heart is not as simple as her appearance. Her ability and ambition are no less than those of men who have been running around in the business world for years. It's just that she has never had the opportunity to show them before.
The pillar of the group and the family has fallen, so naturally some people are waiting to see Zheng Yuqing make a fool of herself, thinking that there will be considerable turmoil within the group. But in fact, Zheng Yuqing quickly appeased the shareholders and employees and made them obey her for the time being.
As the chairman of Jieren Group, Zheng Yuqing transformed herself from a wealthy wife into a business leader. Her transformation was thorough and successful.
There is a song called "Today" that goes like this, "I've waited for so long and finally today has come. I've endured for so long and finally my dream has come true." How could a phoenix lurking in the abyss, dormant for eight years, be a waste?
This is obviously impossible. Zheng Yuqing is not only far-sighted, but also ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others. He also has a good business acumen and management skills. It only takes a small step for Jieren Group to be completely transformed into Zheng Flag.
"On Jinling Road, as long as you get to the intersection of the circular overpass, you can see the sign of Longqing Jewelry. If Boss Zheng is not so anxious, he can wait for a few days. Longqing Jewelry will open a branch in Ludao soon."
"Boss Long's business is very big. He is going to open a branch in Ludao." Zheng Yuqing said perfunctorily.
"Not very old, just left Guangzhou not long ago."
Long Huiqing's words made Zheng Yuqing look at her with admiration. He originally thought that Long Qing Jewelry only had one store in Shanghai, but now it seems that Long Qing Jewelry is not a local player in Shanghai.
"Boss Long, in which cities does Longqing Jewelry have branches?"
"We only have stores in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Yecheng, Hongdu, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jinling, Suzhou, Shanghai, Tian'an, and Beijing. We are also looking for locations in several other cities, and all of them will open for business this year." Long Huiqing said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Zheng Yuqing pretended to be angry and said, "Boss Long, you are too modest. You already have branches in more than a dozen cities. Isn't your business big?"
"Haha, no, Longqing Jewelry has a very thin profit margin. I can't make much money after working hard for a year. Business is not good. I came here to get close to Boss Zheng. I just want to develop Boss Zheng into a customer of Longqing Jewelry. If the profit margin was high, I wouldn't have to work so hard."
"You old fox, who are you trying to fool? Everyone knows that jewelry has high profits." Zheng Yuqing complained in her heart, and her smile spread across her face. "I'm a lazy person and don't like to go out to visit clients. Boss Long, I want to learn from you . Give me a chance to prepare a table of wine to pay my respects to you."
" Hehehe, please don't drink the apprenticeship wine. I am the host, so I should treat you. Tonight?"
"OK."
One of them was plotting something bad, while the other was trying to take advantage of the situation to climb up the ladder. In silence, they called each other "Change".
