Volume 7 I've Been Here Chapter 1040 IQ Tax
When Nan Yi and Xiao Nan were having dinner at Lumingchun Restaurant, Wu Renpin called him.
"Nan Yi, Chen Wenqin is yours?"
"Yes."
Nan Yi took away Xiao Nan's hand that had been rubbing him restlessly, pointed at the phone, and walked out of the hotel.
Wu Renpin: "Why do you want to buy the Xinghua Paper Mill?"
"You have also been to foreign countries for research, so you should have heard of LOFT, right?"
Wu Renpin: "I have visited it in New York. Do you want to transform Xinghua into a loft?"
"That's right."
Wu Renpin: "What company?"
"Media."
Wu Renpin: "Specifically?"
"Don't think about it. I asked Wenqin to help relocate 600 laid-off workers just because I didn't want to embarrass you. In fact, I don't need any of them. The new company I want to start is called Dongqing International, and its main business at the beginning is TV shopping.
The reason why I put the company here is because of you and because I saw the performing talent of people from Northeast China. Dongqing International needs a group of anchors who are good at performing and have unrestrained personalities. The recruitment is mainly for young people. I plan to cooperate with the music college for training. "
Dongqing International, Northeast Light Industry International, can also be called Dongqing Guild, its main business is TV shopping, and its auxiliary business is to build a talent system for live streaming or offline sales. The long-term consideration is to fill in one of the links in Nan’s marketing system, and the current focus is to provide marketing talents to state-owned enterprises in trouble.
It won’t be long before slogans such as “Don’t pay 998, don’t pay 198, just pay 98”, “Good news, good news”, “Northeast Fengtian, Northeast Fengtian, Jiangbei Machine Tool Factory has closed down” will resound throughout the streets across the country.
If you want to eat, you don't need to have a face. Find a way to sell the unsalable products in the factory. Giving the workers a little pay is better than anything else. It doesn't matter if you can't lose face. Dongqing International has no shame. Take the inventory and Dongqing International will be responsible for selling it.
Selling inventory is a business that makes billions. You can take the opportunity to make hundreds of millions and help people at the same time. Why not do it?
"I see. I can sell the factory to you. Doesn't the nature of the land really need to be changed?"
"No, I want industrial land."
"What about the inspection team?"
"Old Wu, let me tell you, you owe me a big favor this time. After risk assessment, the inspection report submitted by the inspection team showed that not a single company was qualified, let alone excellent. Some were only severely or moderately risky. No one was in favor of investing."
"Don't exaggerate. I know the status of enterprises in Gangxi District better than you do. You can't deceive me."
"Old Wu, maybe you know the real situation better than I do, but you and I have different standards for measuring the status of a company. To put it more abstractly, you value social benefits, but to put it bluntly, you care about your official hat, and you will take your term of office into consideration when considering issues, but what about me?
It is easy to invest money, but it is difficult to get it back. If I can get back all my investment in 2005, I will be very lucky. To be honest, this investment is boring and it is better to donate it directly."
"Nan Yi, we have been classmates for many years. You understand me, and I also understand your temper. If you want to put forward conditions, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."
Nan Yi laughed, "Come on, I don't have any conditions for you. I will also invest 300 million in Fengtian. You don't have to worry about it. The investment will be implemented one by one, and it won't take too long."
"You mean 300 million? You promised me 500 million back then, how come it didn't increase but decreased after the inspection team arrived?"
“US dollars.”
Wu Renpin calculated that there were more than 2.4 billion, which was not a small amount, so he said with a relaxed mood: "I heard that your money has been converted into RMB. What a pity. It would be better if it was US dollars directly."
"Come on, I raised the funds from the United States with great difficulty, and you won't allow me to get some benefits for my wife?"
"I didn't say that. Are you in Fengtian?"
"Well, go find your sister-in-law before you leave."
"Xiao Wei is coming back too."
"I asked him to come back to take care of both public and private matters."
After ending the call, Nan Yi returned to the private room of the hotel. Several dishes had already been served, but Xiao Nan hadn't picked up his chopsticks.
"Why don't you eat?"
As soon as Nan Yi sat down, Xiao Nan immediately put his hand on Nan Yi's thigh, "Waiting for you."
"You don't have to be so particular about this when you're with me. Let's eat."
Turning the round table, Nan Yi picked up some braised sea cucumber with green onions for Xiao Nan, and picked up a signature Luming Chengsha bun for himself. He took a bite and found it tasted good, so he took two more bites, ate half of it, and put it aside to eat other dishes.
The meal was not peaceful. Nan Yi not only had to pick up food for himself, but also had to help Xiao Nan pick up food. If he didn't take the initiative, Xiao Nan would ask that the food must be passed through Nan Yi's chopsticks before entering his mouth.
She shook her head while chewing, her face full of joy, and she looked light and airy, as if she was eating the most delicious food in the world.
Nan Yi found Xiao Nan's behavior familiar. He had seen it before in another woman who had just fallen in love. She wanted to stick together with him 24 hours a day and was reluctant to be separated. She was addicted to the sweetness of it.
They were sticky when eating, and their fingers were clasped together and their palms were stuck when walking out of the restaurant. Xiao Nan's head was like the lipoma on Nan Yi's arm, which would shake if you touched it, but you couldn't pull it off.
Taking a walk, buying clothes, drinking cold drinks, after going through the whole routine, it was already half past ten when he returned to the Morning Dew Pavilion, and it was already half past eleven when he lay down on the bed. Nan Yi did not continue his habit of reading a few pages of a book before going to bed. A little lamb, which had not yet learned to jump alive, already understood the cues of expressions and movements. Its little feet rubbed and wandered on Nan Yi's calves. Nan Yi turned around, and was greeted by a pair of big watery eyes full of love.
"Okay, let's get started."
Nan Yi put the book on the bedside table and turned over to press on Xiao Nan...
In the next two days, Xiao Nan spent most of his time with Nan Yi. They didn't do anything serious and visited all the places in the city that were suitable for summer fun. During this time, Nan Yi took a trip to the Conservatory of Music to balance his work and personal matters.
Chen Wenqin has reached an agreement with Gangxi District. With 12 million yuan in cash and the resettlement of 600 laid-off workers, the Xinghua Paper Mill will soon be in the hands of Dongqing International.
This deal can neither be said to be a loss nor a profit. If the other party was not Wu Renpin, the price could be lowered further, but the implicit expenditure in the future would be a little higher. After a little hesitation, the difference would not be much.
With the supervision of Gangxi District, the registration procedures of Dongqing International became special matters and were completed before the factory transfer contract was signed.
The laid-off workers arrived quite quickly. Before Nan Yi had even had time to warm up the official seal in his hands, the personnel information had already arrived. After reading the information, Nan Yi felt upset. Nearly half of the six hundred people were not front-line workers, but various clerks who had little to do with production.
In theory, they are also working class, but in fact most of them are weak and have no special skills. They may have lost their jobs, but they may have lost their airs and the spirit of being a top engineer. They are not good at doing things, but they are good at making trouble with their crooked mouths. It is difficult to make arrangements for this group of people.
I don't know if it was because the newspaper office was not busy these days, or if Xiao Nan was taking advantage of his "uncle" relationship to slack off, but on the third day, when Nan Yi needed to work, Xiao Nan was still sticking to his side, and was now lying on Nan Yi's back pretending to be a conjoined twin.
“Can you use a digital watch?”
“No, I only use text processing.”
"Do me a favor." Nan Yi picked up the personnel information and handed it to his head. "Enter the name, age, gender, home address, and previous job in this order into the computer. Separate each item with a space. If there are multiple jobs, separate them with a slash. Separate people with line breaks. Press the Enter key twice, no more, no less."
“Do we need two spaces as well?”
"The spaces don't need to be so detailed. As long as they're there, it doesn't matter how many there are."
"good."
Nan Yi took out a new notebook, and the conjoined twins happily became typists. He took his PDA to the grove outside the Morning Dew Pavilion and read several resumes sent by Smith Company.
The establishment of Smith Company, a sub-group of the talent group China, and Nan Yi's unintentional contracting of the printing shop in the Shencun talent market that year, allowed Nan to recruit many mid-level talents. It also took this opportunity to establish a domestic talent delivery system and the structure of a headhunting giant. Nan can recruit the talents it needs, and the rest is to serve .
Smith Company's profitability in the future may not be very good, and Nan Yi does not need it to be very good. Its main function is to recruit talents and establish good personal connections with high-quality domestic companies and top management talents.
After reading the resume, Nan Yi called Han Zhenhe over.
In Han Zhenhe's car, Nan Yi instructed Han Zhenhe on some important matters.
"You need to decide on the candidate for the president of Dongqing International. The key is this person." Nan Yi pointed at the PDA screen with a capacitive stylus pen. "Zhang Feng, if his ability is not too bad, choose him."
Han Zhenhe glanced at the label item, which had the bold words "Children of the Guangshi Bureau" written on it, and understood what he meant.
"After you finish your work in Fengtian, go to the Southern Office. It's time to get started."
Hearing this, Han Zhenhe suppressed his inner excitement and asked calmly, "President, do you want to make any requirements on the gender of the candidate?"
"No need. Elena has already shortlisted several candidates. You can pick the best one from them."
"clear."
Nan Yi patted Han Zhenhe on the shoulder and said, "At the end of the year, I went to visit my aunt. I went once when you took up your new post, and I haven't been there since. I was afraid that my aunt would blame me for making your Han family extinct. Today I will take off the tight band on your head. You should hurry up and find a new one. The previous ones should end if they should, and if they don't want to end, make sure they are settled."
"Yes, President."
After Han Zhenhe left, Nan Yi called Li Jialong, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.
Li Jialong gave up his position in Dream Town and went to Suzhou to compete for the position of manager . After successfully taking the position, he has stayed there ever since.
After the greetings, Nan Yi got down to business.
"Jialong, I need your help with two things."
"Speaking."
"I have a project initiated in my own name and would like to invite Temasek to come and inspect it. I am also in need of a capable personal secretary. If you have a good candidate, please recommend one to me."
"I can convey the matter of the inspection. What do you want, Private Secretary?"
“The requirements are a bit high. I need to manage all my personal businesses and supervise all external investment projects.”
"I'll ask around and get back to you as soon as possible."
"Okay, thanks in advance."
Li Jialong has a younger sister named Li Weijing, who is just 25 years old this year, but has already held a middle-level position in the investment management department of Barclays Bank. Nan Yi is very optimistic about her abilities and background, and wants her to be his personal secretary and, by the way, serve as the executive president of Xinxin Investment.
Nan Yi plans to divide his money into two parts again. One part will be used for investment to make money. This part will be injected into the soon-to-be-established Xinxin Investment, and the other part will be simply for pocket money.
Nan Yi sat in the grove for an entire afternoon until Chen Wenqin came back near dusk.
"Nansheng, the credit card has been approved. The limit is 20,000 yuan, and there is still an overpayment of 300,000 yuan."
"Take it up to Xiao Nan later. I have something to tell you first." Nan Yi pointed to the low stool beside him, and waited for Chen Wenqin to sit down before continuing, "I will be leaving soon. As for the paper mill, you don't have to worry about it after you sign the transfer contract. Just continue to work on Beidou and track small investments such as the photo stickers.
There are also my trivial matters. During festivals and holidays, don’t forget to give gifts to women on the days when they are supposed to receive them. Be thoughtful and don’t give the same gifts to every woman. After giving them, tell me what you gave me. It’s best if the gift has some story behind it.”
"OK."
"Don't forget the employee shares, as this involves everyone's interests."
"clear."
After explaining everything, Chen Wenqin went upstairs, and after a while, Xiao Nan ran out.
“Why are you giving me money?”
"Give you pocket money."
"I have my own salary."
Nan Yi clapped his hands, then opened his arms to make a gesture of welcoming a hug. Seeing this, Xiao Nan threw herself into Nan Yi's arms. Nan Yi hugged Xiao Nan, bit her earlobe, and then whispered in her ear, "Use the money in it to buy yourself a car. It will be convenient for you to go anywhere."
"Are you leaving?"
"I have a flight the day after tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to spend time with you tomorrow night."
Xiao Nan said reluctantly: "When will you come again?"
"It's hard to say. I have a lot of things to do. Except when I'm in the capital, you can come to me anytime and anywhere. If one day you get tired of me or the current situation, you can find someone else. I can't make you a promise, nor will I put you in shackles."
Xiao Nan turned his head, his mouth almost touching Nan Yi's, and said, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because I didn't expect you to be love-brained. You are too passionate. I don't have the time to accompany you until the day when your passion fades and you regain your rationality. Your passionate flame has not been responded to, and maybe it will go out one day."
"So you help me open the door first so that I can get out?" Xiao Nan said sarcastically, "Did my flame not burn away the outer shell of your rationality?"
“Don’t be ridiculous. Love stories always focus on the most exciting part. They look beautiful, but that’s only because the writer deliberately ignores the daily necessities of life, or because she herself has no life experience and is simply expressing the most perfect imagination in her mind.
Love in daily life is different. We have to deal with too many trivialities and it is not so perfect. I am sorry to say this to you when you are at your most passionate. I will not make any promises to you, and you don’t have to say you love me. We will just keep going forward. It would be best if we can keep going. If anyone gets off halfway, we don’t have to blame each other. "
Nan Yi said, and then complained: "Also, tonight I will sleep at the head of the bed and you will sleep at the foot. What's wrong with you? You have to hold the gear lever when you sleep. It makes me sleep restlessly all night."
Hearing this, Xiao Nan's cheeks instantly turned red with shame, "I don't know either, just hold it and you'll sleep soundly."
"Fuck you, are you almost done with the list?"
"Not even half."
"We'll continue the fight tomorrow. I need to finish it before I leave. Now go change your clothes and we'll go out."
"Um."
In the evening, Nan Yi and Xiao Nan were having dinner at Baofayuan, a time-honored restaurant. Just as they were enjoying themselves, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
After a while, a man about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, looking a bit rebellious, walked in.
"Mr. Nan, sorry to bother you. My name is Wei Yi and my uncle is Zhang Taoyuan." Wei Yi said politely.
Nan Yi patted Xiao Nan's lower back and asked him to sit a little further away. Then he pointed to the empty seat on the other side and said, "Mr. Wei, please take a seat."
After Wei Yi sat down, Nan Yi pointed at Xiao Nan again and said, "My girlfriend Xiao Nan, if Mr. Wei just wants to get to know her, we already know each other. If you have something to discuss, please come to my place at 9:30 tomorrow morning. I don't discuss business at the wine table."
"Sorry, I'm abrupt. I won't disturb you two. I'll take my leave now." After saying that, Wei Yi stood up and left without any hesitation. Wei Yi understood Nan Yi's words completely - we can talk about something, but not now, I'm busy picking up girls.
As soon as Wei Yi left, Xiao Nan moved his chair and sat next to Nan Yi again, "I've seen this guy before."
"where?"
"Where I know you."
"oh."
Nan Yi responded and put a fried meatball into Xiao Nan's bowl.
After Wei Yi walked out of Baofa Garden, a young man of the same age as him came up to him and said, "Brother Yi, why did you come out so soon? Did Nan Yi not give you face?"
"No, I came at a bad time. Let's meet tomorrow, Xiaoxi, let's find a place to have a few drinks."
"Go to the big guy's place. He brought back some old Russians."
"Okay, let's go check it out."
…
The next day, Nan Yi went out early in the morning and bought a Kant brand brain-clearing learning aid and a small lead pot. As soon as he returned to the Morning Dew Pavilion, he covered the lead pot on his head to communicate with the heaven, earth and the universe, and held the learning aid in his hand to study its wonders.
It took Nan Yi 7749 seconds to thoroughly study the learning aid. Through virtual modeling, he also developed a more advanced product.
"Wenqin." When Chen Wenqin came to him, Nan Yi handed her the learning aid. "Today's parents pay more and more attention to their children's academic performance. They are too concerned and waste money everywhere. You should have seen this one in your hand, right?"
Chen Wenqin nodded and said, "I have seen it. Many people buy it. It costs 158 yuan each."
Nan Yi nodded and said, "It's not the earliest one. Before it, there was a national spark technology product with multiple international patents for reading and mnemonics. It appeared around the end of 1986 and sold for 30 yuan each. In fact, it was inspired by the stethoscope and made into a thing for plugging into the ears.
However, its method of use is to read aloud to the empty opening of the U-shaped plastic tube. This is somewhat theoretically based. From a medical point of view, it is sound therapy. From a biological point of view, the vibration of sound can be converted into brain movement and resonate deep in the brain, which in turn causes changes in the deep brain and opens the deepest diencephalon memory circuit.
From a psychological perspective, reading aloud in front of others can enhance self-confidence, and confidence can naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort. From a probability perspective, some students’ grades will definitely improve.”
Nan Yi picked up a bottle of medicine that came with the learning aid, opened the cap and let Chen Wenqin smell it, then used his little finger to pick up some liquid and rubbed it on Chen Wenqin's temple, "Do you know what it is?"
Chen Wenqin felt it carefully, and then said unsurely: "Tiger oil?"
"Yes, it's the formula of the cooling oil. I think a few herbs have been reduced. I have an idea to follow the trend. Please write it down."
Chen Wenqin nodded, took out her notebook, opened the document, and waited for Nan Yi to speak.
Seeing that Chen Wenqin was ready, Nan Yi organized his words in his mind and said, "The brand is called Xiao Fendou, and the product is tentatively named Dynamic Light Wave. The product looks like a headscarf and can be worn on the head. The word "Fendou" should be printed on the front. It should be beautifully designed, and a questionnaire survey should be conducted on the design draft.
The product is made of a low-permeability fabric, preferably a fabric that is relatively rare in the mainland, which is convenient for bragging. A layer is made in the middle to stuff dynamic light films into it. It contains high-tech ingredients that enhance memory. Well, it is actually the Chinese magic oil produced by an Indian factory. I will ask them to produce a version with less medicinal materials and a different smell.
These are the core contents. The product design of dynamic light waves must conform to the aesthetic tastes of young people. There are also some words left for Xiao Fendou's "boss", please relay them in the future.
First, it only cheats people out of money and does no harm to them. The dynamic light waves must be harmless and have no side effects, and the formula cannot be changed.
Second, the R&D director shall recruit top students of Chinese major and graduates of medical-related majors for assistance. The fabricated functions and advertising vocabulary must be meaningful and based on facts and must not be invented at will.
Third, the dynamic light wave must be combined with a set of memory-enhancing techniques. In essence, we are not selling products, but actually outputting techniques, psychological hints, and self-confidence..."
After Nan Yi explained some key points, he began to say some really important things, "Xiao Fendou is a cooperative project. The boss is the boss, not a code name. We invest money to start the project, and then withdraw the investment during the high-yield period and sell the shares to the boss.
This project itself has nothing to do with us. I just want to use this project to build up the business line of Dongqing International. The relationship between us and Xiao Fendou is just a business cooperation relationship.
So, don't just show up, find a spokesperson for yourself, and then let the spokesperson find a well-known person to work with, such as an actor, singer, or comedy actor. With a well-known person endorsing the brand, the brand's popularity will increase faster.
Together with what I told you yesterday, these are the tasks you need to complete in Fengtian. A new person will join us in a few days. Her position is personal business secretary, mainly responsible for business matters. At that time, some projects will be handed over to her to reduce your burden."
Nan Yi patted Chen Wenqin's arm and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You are my confidant and my own person. You will have a share in my business. It's just that your business ability is a little lacking, and you can't handle it on your own."
"I won't think too much about it. I know I'm stupid and don't have the ability to do things to the best of my ability." Chen Wenqin said sincerely: "I will assist the new secretary well."
Nan Yi nodded, "It's good that you understand. Newcomers are hired from outside, so there will be a period of adjustment. You should have a clear account in your mind and know what to say and what not to say."
Zheng Wenqin nodded solemnly.
"Get ready in the grove. We have visitors this morning."
There are three stone tables in the grove, which were bought by Nan Yi. Two of them are far away from the Morning Dew Pavilion, and one is closer. Usually, people in the community who do morning exercises or play chess will go to the other two tables, and no one usually comes to the closer one.
Chen Wenqin placed a water-boiling stove on the stone table, and arranged teacups and other utensils. She made a platter of various dried fruits, cut a plate of fruit, and went back into the house after arranging everything.
At half past nine, Nan Yi's bedroom window was pushed open, and a bird's nest poked its head out from inside and shouted at Nan Yi, "Where is my manuscript?"
Nan Yi raised his head and said lazily: "Find it yourself."
The bird's nest said coquettishly: "Tell me, it has to be handed in today."
"It's on the second shelf of the record rack. You left it there when you changed the records yesterday and never took it out. You've only been living here for a few days and the room has become a mess. Get out of here today."
"I'm not leaving. I'll move all my things here this Saturday."
"You wish."
Nan Yi retorted and ignored Xiao Nan, staring down at the kettle in a daze.
More than twenty minutes later, Xiao Nan came downstairs, sticky again, leaving two puddles of saliva on Nan Yi's cheeks before leaving in a hurry.
At half past ten, Wei Yi arrived as promised, and he was accompanied by someone. After the introduction, Nan Yi learned that the other person's name was Jiang Xiaoxi, and his family members were all in the public security system.
"Mr. Wei, I will be returning to the capital tomorrow. If you have anything to say, please speak frankly."
