Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1087 Love Sutra
Regarding the investment in the television field, Nan Yi talked with Kochha about the details for a while.
A subsidiary, Labor Media, will be established under the Labor Group. Its business model will be similar to that of Wangbei Media, except that Labor Media will not directly initiate film projects , but will enter through investment.
Although Nan Yi was somewhat interested in Bollywood movies and had watched quite a few in his two lives, he just enjoyed watching them and had no interest in being the behind-the-scenes boss of a film company because he did not believe in the profitability of Bollywood movies at all.
Or it should be said that there is no company in the world that focuses on film production that can bear his expectations, otherwise 20th Century Fox would not have been sold as a package, not involving production but only immersing itself in the copyright field.
This is the case in Hollywood, let alone Bollywood.
After talking with Kochhar, Nan Yi asked Priyanka to take him on a tour of the entire office area of Sharma Building. It was just an inspection like a customer inspecting a company. Nan Yi did not reveal his identity, nor did he have any identity to reveal.
In fact, in the entire Labor Group, only Kochha and the heads of several subsidiaries knew the details of the group. The middle and lower-level employees were not aware that there was a Nan family behind the group. In their eyes, the Labor Group was just an Indian local enterprise with good strength.
After spending a day in Sharma House, Nan Yi spent another three days visiting all the industries of Labor Group, including leather factories, garment factories, sari factories, and food factories in the Dharavi slum, which belong to Dharavi Trade; food processing factories, instant noodle factories, and snack workshops, which belong to Labor Food and are spread across many civilian areas in Mumbai;
Various properties and construction sites affiliated to Labor Real Estate; the trading room of Metropolitan Securities and the trading floor of BSE; the Dabbawala Association; the two restaurant chains, The Dhaba and Chinese Restaurant, affiliated to Labor Catering.
Thanks to the capable person in charge and the convenience provided by many beneficiaries, the Labor Group has developed well in India. Each business line is already on track, earning the group a considerable profit margin and a good net profit at the end of the year.
During this period, Nan Yi also took an interest in a new business of the Labor Group - purchasing machines from a bankrupt electric fan factory in China and building his own electric fan factory in Mumbai.
Most people in India live near or below the poverty line. Air conditioners seem to be more expensive, but in fact their profit margins and market capacity are not as good as those of electric fans. The labor group is targeting the majority of civilians and the poor.
Just as Nan Yi had finished taking care of the business of the Labor Group and was preparing to invite some teachers from special industries from Japan to plan and hold a unique party in order to build relations with India, the captain of the Flat Shoes Team, Yajni, called him and said that Sophie Marceau was going to invest in a movie directed by an Indian female director.
Investing in movies is nothing. Sophie Marceau has been busy with this kind of thing in the past two or three years. But when Nan Yi heard that the movie she was going to invest in was called "Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love" and that she was going to star in it herself, Nan Yi almost exploded with anger.
Damn it, don't think he doesn't know what kind of movie this is. Its name translated into Chinese includes "Kama Sutra", "Desire and Wisdom" and "The Mirror of Temptation". At its core, it is a romance movie, but what is the Kama Sutra?
In Nan Yi's impression, "The Sutra of Love" is nothing more than the same thing as "Essential Techniques of Sex" and "Dongxuanzi". The book talks about nothing more than the techniques of sex. Its style is similar to the five signs, five desires and ten movements of "The Sutra of Su Nu", and the narration is very delicate.
It is said that in the 3rd or 4th century AD, a Brahmin ascetic monk named Vasyapa summarized the legends of his predecessors and incorporated his own imagination or real practice that he could not tell anyone.
Sometimes, an ascetic monk may not necessarily represent a supreme state, but may just be a character setting.
If you treat this crappy movie as a romance film, the scale is a bit large. If you treat it as a pornographic movie, anyone who watches it will curse. But every time I arouse my strong interest in learning, it becomes very stingy. After taking off the clothes, it is just a splicing of pictures, the sky and the earth, the bed and the tent, the continent and the sky. Who are you trying to fool?
He only cursed at the actress because she had nothing to do with him. Once she had anything to do with him, he didn't want to curse her, but to kill her.
Sophie Marceau knew very well that Nan Yi could not accept this kind of thing at all. He concluded that Sophie Marceau had asked Yajni to make the call, and that she was just taking advantage of the situation to vent her resentment.
then……
"Ya Zhenni, give her the prepared contract to sign. When she finishes signing, strangle her to death with a ten-foot-long white silk. Don't be stingy, buy a more expensive one."
After Nan Yi finished speaking, he held the phone far away from his ear. Sure enough, a series of cordial "greetings" came from the other end of the phone, from the forehead to the soles of the feet, without leaving out a single inch of space.
The French and English words that are disgusting to the ear are switched in succession. No publicly available text medium would dare to publish them in such a filthy manner that the person in charge of soliciting articles for Playboy would definitely shake his head and say that the scale is too large.
Three hundred dollars. Sophie Marceau cursed enough for the satellite depreciation fee of three hundred dollars. Then she said bitterly: "Adam, I'm giving you an ultimatum. If you don't show up in front of me before Christmas, I will find another man."
Nan Yi frowned and said, "I'm in Mumbai, you can fly over when it's convenient for you."
"India?"
"uh-huh."
"You wait."
After Nan Yi hung up the phone, he turned to glance at Hardisin who was sitting next to him, then picked up a transcript from the coffee table, glanced at it, and looked up at Hardisin again, saying helplessly: "You are a very smart person, but you just don't study hard. Forget it, I'm too lazy to say anything to you. You haven't made any progress in three years. If you really don't want to continue studying, just drop out."
Hardisin is the rascal whom Nan Yi bought from the slave market. He had arranged for him to live in Pune. Now this rascal has run to the city of Mumbai and is still living in the wealthy area in the south of the city.
Hardisin said happily: "Boss, are you serious?"
"Yes, I allow you to drop out of school."
"Very good."
Hardisin was so happy that he almost jumped up. If there was no one watching him , he would have wanted to stop going to school. Studying was not as exciting as doing business.
"We're leaving soon, you can enjoy yourself slowly. Tell me, how did you come up with the idea of doing the five-for-six business in the Philippines?"
As a developing country, the Philippines has a large number of micro-enterprises whose operations rely heavily on financial loans. Filipinos are good at doing business because they have many children. Many men in many families work outside, and women open small shops at home. These small shops have few customers and meager profits, and the owners do not have to stay in the shop all the time. When customers come, they can just ring the bell in the shop, and the owner will come out when he hears the sound.
Many Filipinos borrow money to open shops, but bank loan procedures are complicated, requirements are high, and repayment pressure is high. Filipinos have resorted to borrowing five and repaying six. Borrowing five and repaying six literally means that within a certain period of time, you have to repay 6 pesos if you borrow 5 pesos.
Borrow Five and Return Six is a private financial institution with loose borrowing qualifications, flexible repayments, and daily settlements. Some contracts do not even require a signed contract, as long as a written IOU is written. It is very popular among small business owners in the Philippines.
As far as Nan Yi knows, the current rule of borrowing five and repaying six in the Philippines is that if you borrow 10,000 pesos, the repayment period is 80 days, and you have to repay 150 pesos every day. The interest is 2,000 pesos, which is 20%.
Although the interest rate seems very high, borrowers in the Philippines do not mind paying back six times the original amount. Some of them even feel grateful to the "loan shark" lenders. This is because paying back six times the original amount is the only source of funds for many small vendors, and most lenders still abide by the rules.
This is much better than Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law, which initially set an annual interest rate of 2%, but was distorted during implementation to 2% interest for half a year, and eventually evolved into an annual interest rate of several hundred percent. In addition, there were KPI indicators at the local level, which stipulated how much money must be loaned out each year, causing local officials to force farmers to borrow money, making farmers suffer.
"Boss, have you forgotten? I once stayed in Manila for eight months and saw it with my own eyes," said Hadishin.
