Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1094: Plan, another big plan
Nan Yi stayed in Morey Town for one day and in Nanpalon Town for two days. He got a general understanding of the situation in the two towns and conducted a detailed investigation in the Nanpalon market.
After leaving Nanpalong, Nan Yi and his party did not choose to go north. Although the domestic border can be reached in less than 300 kilometers north, they can only take a zigzag route and cannot go through in a straight line. The only way, "Sagaing Province", is a high-conflict zone. It is at the forefront of the Myanmar government forces and local separatist forces, and fighting may occur at any time and anywhere.
After leaving Nanpalong, Nan Yi and his party chose to go south instead of north. Although the domestic border can be reached in less than 300 kilometers in the northeast direction, this is a straight-line distance and the only way is Sagaing Province, which is at the forefront of the intersection of the Myanmar government-controlled areas and local separatist forces, and fighting can happen at any time and anywhere.
Nan Yi has studied the map. If he wants to go north and take a safe route, he can either make a big circle or take a bouncy zigzag line. There is a place in the northeast called the Golden Triangle, which will be renamed "Northern Myanmar" in a few years, a place dedicated to improving the IQ of the yellow race and providing spare parts for the world's medical industry.
Going north is too tiring, it is better to go south to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way and arrive at the seaport safely.
In one day, we crossed Chin State and arrived at the Maungdaw Port in Rakhine State. While waiting for the ship, we stopped at the port for a while and conducted a brief investigation on the border trade between Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Go out to sea, sail for a while in Mottama Bay, land in Pathein, cross the tourist area around Pathein, and go straight to Yangon.
In Yangon, Nan Yi stayed for a few days to learn about Myanmar's current economic policies. He also visited the famous Aung San Market and spent three hundred dollars to buy several glass-type jade bracelets. They were not fake, but real jade, made from glass-type brands.
The next stop after Yangon is Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar and a city with a large number of overseas Chinese and Chinese.
Since the military government came to power in Myanmar in 1988, Western countries led by the United States have imposed economic sanctions and trade embargoes on Myanmar, terminated economic and technical assistance to Myanmar, and banned investment in Myanmar.
There is such a saying, but it has always been a lot of noise but little action. Except for the super-large project investment, everything else remains the same. In Yangon, Nan Yi is still in the dark, but this is not the case in Mandalay.
Since 1986, Shennong Nanliang has entered Myanmar to carry out agricultural investment. The scale is not large, but Shennong Nanliang has a very good understanding of Myanmar's economic and agricultural conditions.
Shangji Grain and Oil Shop, whose owner is Shang Guixi, was originally from Yunnan Province. In 1947, when Shang Guixi was still an infant, he was held in his parents’ arms and the family came to Mandalay, where the Shang family took root.
All along, the Shang family made a living by running a small grocery store in Mandalay. Until 1983, when the country began to reform and open up, Shang Guixi, who was already over 30 years old, finally stepped out of his own grocery store and started to engage in border trade facing the country - he would drive about 40 cows at a time, with agricultural products such as mung beans, soybeans, sesame seeds and peppers on their backs, and drive the cows to Wanding to sell them to domestic traders.
In this way, Shang Guixi drove cattle and pigs one trip after another, slowly accumulating not-so-generous profits, hoping that one day he would be able to buy a small truck so that he could drive it to deliver goods without having to walk on iron feet.
Unexpectedly, one day in 1986, a Thai Chinese found him and said as soon as they met that he was a one-in-a-million genius in selling grain and was willing to accept him into the Shennong Sect to become his last disciple.
Of course Shang Guixi would seize such a good opportunity, and thus his career entered the fast lane. Soon he no longer had to rush to domestic markets to trade, but instead opened the Shangji Grain and Oil Shop, waiting for domestic customers and "customers" from Myanmar to come.
Shangji Grain and Oil Shop is called a grain and oil shop, but it is actually an agricultural group.
Sanmesel Village, less than 120 kilometers away from Mandalay, is rich in sugarcane. For generations, the villagers there have grown some corn to fill their stomachs and have relied on traditional manual methods to squeeze the sugarcane into brown sugar and treacle, but the profit is very little.
One day, a small jeep drove into the village. A man got out of the car and whispered to the village chief. Then, a modern sugar factory, the "Renjian Fuguihua", was built in Shanmeise Village.
Around the Renjian Fuguihua Sugar Factory, Shangji also built a feed factory, a board factory, an alcohol factory, and a paper mill. They were all small in scale and were experimental in nature. The reason for building these factories was inseparable from the research of Fan Shengzhi Institute.
The main waste produced by sugar factories is bagasse. According to Fan Shengzhi's research, bagasse can be made into alcohol and feed yeast. It can also be used as an alternative raw material to wood to produce paper cup base paper, fully degradable paper agricultural mulch, and paper tableware.
Due to the small specific gravity and good fiber quality of sugarcane bagasse, the produced boards are high in strength and light in weight. The produced boards and profiles are not affected by biological invasion, have low water absorption, and are not corroded by seawater. They have good fire resistance, good flame retardant properties, good mechanical processing properties and decorative properties, and are suitable for furniture, construction, carriages, ships, packaging boxes and other production industries.
The Qiqiao Research Institute also collaborated with the Third Pharmaceutical Research Institute to extract a polyphenol substance from sugarcane bagasse. This substance can prevent chickens and eggs from being infected with coccidia and salmonella, thereby reducing the mortality rate of chickens and improving the safety and hygiene standards of chickens and eggs.
Shennong Nanliang mainly deploys the sugar factory industry in Brazil, and Myanmar only serves as an experimental springboard. After some time, when the technology and industry are mature, it will enter Guangxi Province and cooperate with local sugar factories.
In the next twenty years, one of Shennong Nanliang's main tasks will be to move downward from the upstream of agricultural products to the most profitable midstream commercialization links. The snacks part of the Big Heroine Plan belongs to the business scope of Shennong Nanliang.
The income from farming is too little, and the prices of various agricultural materials, fertilizers and pesticides keep rising. Every time people from Shennong Nanliang Farm attend a meeting and see people from the chemical department, they want to bite them to death.
Nan's family has been farming for more than a decade but has not made much money. Instead, they have made considerable profits from selling pesticides, fertilizers, breeding seeds, and licensing patents. However, the total profit is still not as good as the income from a best-selling drug of G2B, not to mention the speculative gains from a big market trend in the financial sector.
It is no wonder that one generation goes into politics to seize resources and connections, while the second generation engages in finance to cash in. One after another, among the leeks that grow again in the spring breeze, there is always a group of people who make money faster than it is printed.
Without alerting Shang Guixi, Nan Yi and his party quietly went to Shanmeise Village and observed the factory complex with binoculars on the hill outside the village.
Shangji's business is taken care of by the top management of Shennong Nanliang. Nan Yi is mainly concerned about the safety of the industry. Dealing with the military government is just a trivial matter. The situation of warlords fighting for hegemony in Myanmar is what makes people both worried and happy.
While Nan Yi was observing, a group of people with guns appeared in the jungle behind him. They quietly came to five meters behind Nan Yi and his group. One of them approached the tiger cub with a pistol and put the gun on his forehead, "Kneel down and sing Fang Qing's "Sunset Song"."
[Pei Thi Phuong Thanh is a Vietnamese singer who just started to become famous in 1995.]
"Fang Qing's won't work, but how about Anita Mui's?" Tiger Cub didn't take it as an offense, and looked at the newcomer happily, "San Dian, why aren't you dead yet?"
San Dian put away his pistol and said with the same smile: "You little tiger cub didn't even die, how could I bear to die."
Flying Tigers, parachutes and lightning combine to form the armband emblem of the "First Observation Group", an elite military unit during the South Vietnamese period. From Nguyen Chi Binh and School Beauty, who were from the Overseas Chinese Special Forces, to Tianxian, a group of people who came from the refugee camp and had military experience, all of them were directly or indirectly related to the First Observation Group. The code names Umbrella Lightning and Tiger Cub also came from this story.
There is no doubt that Sandian is also Nan Yi's man. He is affiliated with the Mandalay Supreme Justice Commando of the Kanglong Island Base of the Food Guard. His main task is to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Shangji Grain and Oil Shop.
Sandian and Huzai chatted for a while and then came to Nanyi.
Nan Yi put down the telescope, turned to look at San Dian and said, "Are there any new forces in the jungle?"
"There is a new group of guests from the Golden Triangle, a total of 12 people, 10 men and 2 women." Sandian said, handing Nan Yi a map.
Nan Yi took it, "Drug Station?"
"He fled here after failing in the battle in the Golden Triangle."
“What about the All Burma Students’ Democratic Front? Has its membership increased?”
"The pace of development is not fast. Currently, there are 109 people in total, 57 of whom can hold guns, and less than 30 of whom have qualified military qualities."
"Oh." Nan Yi nodded, "It's not easy for a group of patriotic students. The rules remain the same. They don't infringe on our interests. If they threaten us, we will report their coordinates directly to the military government."
"Got."
"Nothing else. Just chat with the tiger cub for a while. We will leave early tomorrow morning." Nan Yi waved his hand and set up the telescope again.
Sandian walked back to the tiger cub, and the two chatted about their recent situations and experiences. Inadvertently, Sandian mentioned that he once accidentally saved a Chinese man named Liu Zhikang. When questioning him, because the other party said that he was from Chaoshan, Sandian beat him up. It was so infuriating that he was treated like an idiot.
Liu Zhikang is a good name, but in Chaoshan dialect, it has an extremely obscene meaning. Which Chaoshan parent would be so stupid as to give his son such a name?
Nan Yi observed and passively listened to the chatter of the tiger cubs. After observing for a while, he put down the telescope, unfolded the map given by the umbrella, and studied the distribution of military forces near Mandalay marked on it.
The fight in Myanmar was none of Nan Yi's business. He only cared about who had the final say on the location of Nan's industry, whether someone would change in the future, and who would change. As long as he knew exactly who it was, the name was not important, the personality was not important, and the reason for collecting money was even less important. As long as the proportion remained the same, whoever came would be the same. Cats and dogs had to eat meat, and the Buddha had to be made into a golden statue.
From the best period of the international communist movement in the 1960s when the Soviet revisionists provided the Burmese Communist Party with funds, weapons and military instructors, to the 1970s when the Soviet revisionists stopped providing aid, the Burmese Communist Party was still able to survive because educated youth continued to come and serve as death squads.
It was not until the late 1970s that the Communist Party of Burma began to split its forces. The ambitious people who had been grouped together in the past began to have their own ulterior motives. In 1989, the Communist Party of Burma completely collapsed. Its forces evolved from the former Northeast Military Region, Central Military Region, 101 Military Region, and "August 15" Military Region of the Communist Party of Burma into four separatist forces: Chenggan, Wa State, Kachin State, and Mengla State.
In addition, there is Khun Sa's Shan State Republic. Comrade Khun Sa, the big drug lord, is very courageous. Others are storing up food and slowly becoming kings, but he has ascended the throne. Now the iron fist of the Burmese military government is hitting him in the face.
When fighting was just for fun, Khun Sa could barely hold on, but once the military government got serious, Khun Sa could not stand it anymore. It has been almost two years since he proclaimed himself president in December 1993. It is said that he can no longer hold on, and surrender and disarmament will probably happen soon.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why Scarlett Mining Group left the Golden Triangle was because the military government invited the separatist Burmese Communist Party coalition to fight against Khun Sa's Mong Thai Army. Wa State took the opportunity to join the war against Khun Sa and sent troops to establish a base on the Thai border to fight against Khun Sa's Mong Thai Army.
Now seeing that Khun Sa is about to collapse, Nan Yi does not believe that Wa State will hand over the bases that it has actually controlled back to the military government. There will most likely be several major battles between the military government and Wa State in the future.
The two enclaves of Wa State are connected by the Salween River, which passes through Mandalay. If a real fight breaks out, Sanmese Village will easily be affected. In addition, there are already many guerrillas in the jungle. Not to mention being directly captured, it is inevitable that it will at least be hit by a few stray bullets.
Nan Yi called San Dian to his side again, and the two of them whispered at the map for a while. Nan Yi ordered San Dian to draw up several more evacuation routes for the factory's senior executives and technicians. You must know that these two types of employees were either directly dispatched by Shennong Nanliang or poached from domestic factories. Nan's family is responsible for their life safety.
…
After staying in Mandalay for two days, visiting the agricultural product market and paying attention to the planned international airport in Mandalay, Nan Yi and his party returned to Yangon on the morning of the third day and flew back to Mumbai via Bangkok.
In Mumbai, 1995 was farewell and 1996 came. Nan Yi watched the structure of Labor Media being built up bit by bit. When he was about to leave, Fan Hongdou, who had traveled around Asia, came again.
After picking him up at the airport and getting into the car, Fan Hongdou immediately complained, "Godfather, I visited the Lin family of Sanlin Group and discussed the issue of investing in Yingduo Foods. Lin Fengsheng directly refused and said he had no intention of selling his shares."
Indol Foods operates instant noodles business. Its Indol fried noodles have good sales in Indonesia, Malaysia and other regions. It is one of the famous brands in the instant noodles industry in Asia.
"It's okay. Now is not a good time to buy shares. When you were in Jakarta, did you feel that a storm was coming?"
Fan Hongdou nodded, "Yes, ethnic conflicts in Indonesia are intensifying, and riots are likely to occur."
"Well, let's wait a little longer. Indonesia and Australia have just reached a quasi-military alliance, and the two countries are in the honeymoon period. Send a few Australian staff to Jakarta to do some activities. Once the opportunity arises, don't let others snatch it away."
Fan Hongdou nodded.
Nan Yi picked up a file and opened it. "Vietnam doesn't have a very strong brand right now. Your uncle Shan Pao found a lover in Vietnam named Li Fangcui. Her father is Li Yuanyong, who has the rank of colonel and is the head of 32 Joint-Stock Company.
We are cooperating with 32 Joint Stock Company in Vietnam's motorcycle business. We have a basis for cooperation. When you go to Vietnam, you can visit Li Yuanyong and ask him to introduce you to the person in charge of the military's food company."
"good."
"In Nepal, the Chaudhry Group is both our competitor and our partner. We purchase jute from the Chaudhry Group. Binod Chaudhry is in Mumbai now. You can talk to him and decide whether to disclose the relationship between Labor and Food. You can control it yourself.
In the Philippines, most of the food and beverage business is controlled by San Miguel Corporation (the parent company of San Miguel Beer). This company is very complicated and involves many forces. You should study the information carefully first. "
Nan Yi handed the documents in his hand to Fan Hongdou, turned his head and looked out the window so as not to disturb her from reading the documents.
Nan's plan to dominate Asia's instant noodles is divided into two parts: equity acquisition and expansion of Master Fan's brand are carried out simultaneously, and fine-tuning is made on the expansion strategies of the two Cokes. The acquired brands with poor development potential will be shelved, while those with good potential will continue to be operated.
In order to realize the plan, Asian instant noodle-related companies will not only have to face the economic crisis, but also Nan's blow. This combination of various moves is not just Bada's long-planned palm oil strategy.
The hat of the Queen of Instant Noodles is one of the hats that Nan Yi wants to give to Fan Hongdou. Whoever stands in her way will be destroyed, even if it means hurting others at the cost of their own money. With the same price, Nan's can still make a small profit and can persist for ten or fifty years. It depends on how many years the competitors can hold on.
Of course, this is a very bad strategy. No country's rulers want to see companies doing anything to benefit consumers. Price wars will never be welcome anywhere. It is nonsense for companies to benefit the people. Giving benefits to taxes is the passport to becoming bigger and stronger.
Back at Peacock Villa, Fan Hongdou, who was there for the first time, was very excited. She walked around the entire villa and then came to Peacock Lake to watch Nan Yi perform the summoning of turtles.
In recent years, many new turtles and tortoises have been added to Peacock Lake, including the very large "Hoaning Sword Turtle" which is more than one meter long.
This thing is also called the giant softshell turtle in China, and its scientific name is the Yangtze giant softshell turtle. Apart from the more than 100 young turtles and a pair of 300-year-old adult Yangtze giant softshell turtles in the hands of Fan Shengzhi Research Institute , there are probably only a handful of them left in the world.
Nan Yi reached his hand into the water from the shore and slapped it a few times in a rhythmic manner. In just one or two minutes, turtle heads and tortoise heads appeared on the surface of the lake, including the spotted softshell turtle.
Seeing the head of the giant turtle, Fan Hongdou asked curiously, "Godfather, why is there a giant turtle here?"
Nan Yi did not answer, but used food to hook the turtle to swim towards him . When he lured the turtle to the shore, he grabbed the turtle shell and dragged it ashore. He pointed to the symbols on the tail of the turtle shell and said, "The Sanskrit is too worn out to be translated. This turtle was probably raised by the ancient Indians. It is not in good health. It has only been in the past two years. Let it stay close to its owner."
"Godfather, it came from Vietnam. How do you know its owner died in India?"
"How could I know where its old owner died? Its current owner is Yuandan, who lives here." Nan Yi said disapprovingly.
Fan Hongdou pouted and was speechless.
“Hahaha, little girl, I won’t tease you anymore.” Nan Yi fed the giant softshell turtle a big mouthful of food and put it back into the water. “The nutritional value of the giant softshell turtle is seven or eight times higher than that of an ordinary old turtle, and it tastes quite good. Once we have thoroughly studied the sterilization technology of the giant softshell turtle, we will release a batch of them into the Ganges. The one in the lake is a forerunner. Let’s see if it can adapt to the climate here.”
Fan Hongdou frowned and said with disdain: "Can you eat things from the Ganges?"
"It's fine as long as it's not a problem. The release of the turtle into the Ganges is part of a test to see if the giant softshell turtle can adapt to poor water quality. If it's too easy to survive, it won't help increase its value."
As long as you work hard, you will always reap rewards. The Fan Shengzhi Institute has 103 field expedition teams. The annual expenses are astronomical. They have footprints all over the world, and discovering several endangered or unrecorded species is also a well-deserved reward.
In fact, the value created by the field expedition team has far exceeded its expenditure, and Fan Shengzhi's biological genetic technology research has benefited from it. Not only has he made many breakthroughs in breeding technology, but he has also opened up a path for artificial organs for the × file.
Now, × Files has tried to cultivate human ears and noses in its own hairless mice. Maybe in five years, ten, twenty years or even longer, human rejection of organ transplants will become history.
There are many other benefits. The scientific expedition team discovered the Yangtze giant softshell turtle, which researchers believed only existed in Vietnam outside of Hoan Kiem Lake. A total of five turtles were found, and two healthy adult turtles were brought back. The other one in Peacock Lake is already on its last legs and will not live long.
In any case, the scarcity, high nutritional value and deliciousness of the Yangtze giant softshell turtle all point to huge profits. On the basis of controlling the annual output, the sale of seeds, feed, medicines, terminal sales and other links can conservatively be estimated to bring Nan's profits of nearly tens of millions of dollars each year.
If financial means are added, the profits will be even more substantial.
Nan Yi stayed in Mumbai for another two days. One day he talked about work with Fan Hongdou, and another day he took Fan Hongdou and Yuandan to the South City mall to buy clothes.
On the plane leaving Mumbai, Nan Yi received news that General Motors announced at the Los Angeles Auto Show that it would launch a pure electric vehicle. This was good news. In the second half of the year, Gustav's Le Mans would also be available for sale, and it would make some noise then.
After landing in Xiangkeng, Nan Yi did not rush back to the capital. He accompanied Nan Ruoqi, who was becoming more and more eloquent, while caring about the real estate market in Xiangkeng.
Hong Kong people's enthusiasm for property speculation is even higher. There is gossip in the newspaper that the cool guy Kenny Bee and his wife borrowed 154 million Hong Kong dollars in a short term to buy five luxury houses including Room 4607, Grand Court, Harbour Road, and several other properties. Some real estate experts are optimistic that the property market will continue to rise , and predict that the house price in Hong Kong Island will exceed 10,000 per square foot by the end of next year.
It is also because of the booming real estate market that investing in real estate can bring high returns, causing local funds to flow unilaterally to buy houses, while productive enterprises cannot bear the high costs and have to move out in large numbers. A large number of factory buildings are vacant, and Xiangkeng's industry has become increasingly distorted.
Creativity Real Estate has already discovered that the factory building is vacant and has contacted the owners, who have said things like “Contact me if you want to sell it”.
For the owners of factory buildings, the difficulties have just emerged and they still hope that the situation will improve. Not many owners are eager to sell their properties for the time being. Only when they wait for the property market to collapse will they cry and shout to sell at a discounted price. It is just not known how many real estate companies have set their sights on factory buildings, and it is hard to say how much of the pie Creativity Real Estate will get.
If you take a look around the construction site in Xiangkeng, you will find that those who have entered the wall-building stage have accelerated their work, while those who are still laying the foundation have begun to slack off, taking their time. It is obvious that most of the real estate tycoons in Xiangkeng have noticed that something is wrong with the property market. Some have accelerated the pace of cashing out and collecting funds, waiting for opportunities to increase their wealth, while others are seeking wealth and fame at the risk of their lives, wanting to make every last penny count.
The financial anchor on TV was saying that Hong Kong's economic situation is very good. The accumulated figures of the Land Fund over the past decade and the Hong Kong government's reserves have totaled more than HK$200 billion. This money will be left for the future SAR.
Nan Yi also went to observe two land auctions. A piece of land with an area of 38,100 square meters in the West Kowloon Reclamation Area in Mong Kok, with the lot number KIL-11082, which is used for the private sector to participate in the Home Ownership Scheme, was sold for HK$1.904 billion.
Fanling District 47A, with an area of 8,000 square meters, lot number FSSTL-185, commercial/residential use, the transaction price was HK$752 million. Also in Fanling District 47A, with lot number FSSTL-186, with an area of 21,160 square meters, the transaction price was HK$2.186 billion.
In addition, there will be four more land auctions, and eight more plots will be auctioned in February and March. The most noteworthy of these is the plot in the comprehensive development zone of the Hung Hom Bay Reclamation Area, with an area of 15,073 square meters. Judging from the location and the transaction prices of the three plots that have been auctioned, the final transaction price will definitely exceed HK$4.5 billion, which is about HK$300,000 per square meter.
The price is too inflated. It will be hard to make a profit without holding back for seven or eight years before developing it. If it is not bought by one of the few wealthy people, it will be hard not to be dragged down.
Creativity Real Estate did not participate in the auction, but has been paying attention to it. Zhu Youren is still trying to coordinate and negotiate how to divide the land that was auctioned off by "outsiders". There are already enough top tycoons in Hong Kong, and no one wants to see newcomers emerge and challenge others. When the lone brave man can no longer hold on, everyone will share the spoils.
In addition to the hot property market, the freight terminal in Hong Kong is still busy, and Li Tongban would wake up with a smile in his dreams; the number of tourists coming to Hong Kong has further increased, and has exceeded the 10 million mark in total. The Tourism Association has made a 5% growth forecast, and it is expected that tourism industry revenue will exceed 70 billion Hong Kong dollars. Zhao Shixian has a good vision, and Nan Ruoqi probably has a hope of making it into the list of the post-90s richest people.
Nan Ruoqi is the youngest, with two older brothers and one older sister, as well as hundreds of brothers and sisters-in-law. Nan Yi does not expect her to be overly capable, but he has high hopes for her, hoping that she can live a free and peaceful life. This goal is a bit big, and it seems to be a little short of the mark at the moment, so she needs to keep working hard.
Nan Yi worked hard and went to the Information and Strategy Committee to hold meetings for several days in a row to summarize the previous year and look forward to the next year. Another major plan that had been planned for many years was officially launched - to speed up the pace of acquiring shares in telecommunications companies, prepare US$15 billion in advance, conduct financing later, deploy 3G, and look forward to the mobile Internet era.
