Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1110 Genesis
Summer 2006.
A short-haired and energetic young man pushed open the gate of the old house, looked around and found that there was almost no change in the yard. It was just like a few months ago. There was still the familiar washbasin and bamboo grove, the friendly clothesline, and the washing machine in the corner.
Under the bamboo grove, there was still the same recliner, and the same person was lying on it, with the same face, except for the deep wrinkles on his face.
The energetic young man felt warm in his heart, walked to the recliner, put down the bag in his hand, stared at the dozing face, and called softly: "Laonan, the sun is shining on your butt."
"Stop talking nonsense." His eyes widened and stared at the young man's forehead. "Why did you come back just now? Didn't you say you would be home at noon?"
"The train is late."
"Oh, have you had lunch?"
"No, just give me some noodles."
"Wait."
Nan Yi paused for a while, then got up and walked into the kitchen to prepare something delicious for his son whom he hadn't seen for several months.
In 2001, Nan Wuwei reached retirement age. He rejected the olive branch from the academy and did not choose to retire to the local area. Instead, he accepted the special recruitment of Bincheng Naval Academy for a bachelor's and master's degree. He went from the south to the north, changed his flag, and joined the arms of the navy. From then on, he wore a navy white and specialized in ship command. His best years were destined to be accompanied by the sea.
After two packs of cigarettes, the father and son sat down at the dining table. Nan Wuwei chopped noodles and Nan Yi helped him chopped garlic.
"Where do I report?"
"Qiong Island."
"How many days off do you have this time?"
"Half a month."
"Twenty days are missing." Nan Yi thought, "Time is a bit tight. Going to your grandparents' house will take one day each, and I'll take you out to show off for two days. Going to Shanghai to see your great-grandmother and grandparents will also take two days, and going to see your mother will take at least three days. There are six days left for you to arrange yourself. Is this arrangement okay?"
Nan Yi had never used an imperative tone towards Nan Wuwei. Now that he was an adult, he was more willing to discuss things with him.
"I obey orders."
Seeing that Nan Wuwei had no objection, Nan Yi shouted at the ceiling: "Yi Zai, call the guy named Liu."
After a while, Liu Zhen's voice came from the ceiling, "Is my son home?"
Nan Yi: “I’m eating noodles.”
Nan Wuwei mumbled, "Mom."
Liu Zhen: "When will you come to my place?"
Nan Wuwei: "Lao Nan said in a week."
Liu Zhen: "The timing is perfect. I won't be busy next week."
…
"Old Nan, where are we going to play later?" Nan Wuwei said to Nan Yi after he and Liu Zhen ended the call.
"Internet cafe."
The first Feilong Internet Cafe is still open at the original location, and apart from the updated computers, little else has changed.
Nan Wuwei said disdainfully: "Playing games again, isn't there anything else new?"
"Go sing at the wholesale store?"
“Boring.”
"What's the point of hanging out with an old man like me? Go find some fun on your own."
"Forget it, I'll still play games with you."
Nan Wuwei thought to himself that it would be unlikely for him to go home in the next few years, so he should spend more time with the old man.
There are some things that you don't understand when you are a child, but you will understand them when you grow up. The old man most wants you to go into politics, but you are determined to work in the army until retirement. This is already disobedient, and it would be unreasonable for you not to spend more time with him.
"Don't force yourself. I don't need anyone to accompany me." Nan Yi said hypocritically.
He and Nan Wuwei have been apart for most of their lives since childhood, so how could he not want to spend more time together? Who knows when they will meet next time.
"Old Nan, you're getting more and more empty-headed." Nan Wuwei said with a smile, "You don't need me to accompany you. I'll report tomorrow."
"Go, go, go, eat faster. You haven't finished a bowl of noodles in ten minutes. If every soldier is like you, we ordinary people will not be able to sleep."
"The battle will be over in twenty seconds." Nan Wuwei said as he picked up a large mouthful of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Slow down, slow down, you are in a hurry to be reborn, chew slowly."
After Nan Wuwei finished his noodles, the father and son went to Feilong Internet Cafe, and they chatted as they walked along the way. It was mainly Nan Yi who talked and Nan Wuwei who listened. They talked about the changes in society in the past six months, the economy, movies, music, and everything else. On the other hand, Nan Yi never asked about anything related to school or the army.
"Master Nan."
"good."
"Master Nan."
"Okay, keep playing."
As soon as they entered Feilong Internet Cafe, several young people greeted Nan Yi. Even though they all called him "Master Nan", not all of them showed respect to him.
Ever since "Delta" and "Age of Empires" became popular, Nan Yi would often hang out in Internet cafes. Single-player games require a LAN connection, and everyone has fun while playing and shouting. After playing many times, he became familiar with some people who love to play. For some deep players who are short of money, Nan Yi not only waives the Internet fee, but also treats them to boxed lunches and instant noodles from time to time.
Although the membership price for an hour at Feilong Internet Cafe is only four yuan, and the overnight fee is as low as twenty yuan, it is still difficult for intensive gamers who spend years in Internet cafes to come up with dozens of yuan a day. When they spend every day in Internet cafes, they don't have time to think about making money.
Nan Yi took Nan Wuwei to their special seats and sat down. As soon as he pressed the power button, he asked, "There are a few new games released recently. Do you want to play them?"
"Wait a minute, I'll get off Doudou first."
Nan Wuwei clicked on the DouDou icon on his computer desktop and quickly entered his account and password. As soon as he logged in, a row of avatars were shaking there.
Nan Yi took a quick glance and then looked away. He opened Audition on his desktop and entered the game. As the most popular dance music "Spark" sounded, the keyboard screamed three times in a row, followed by non-stop wailing.
Nan Wuwei replied to the good news one by one, and then he noticed Nan Yi who was startled beside him, "Old Nan, playing this kind of game is childish."
Nan Yi tapped the space bar with his left thumb and quickly pressed the arrow keys with his right hand. After a song ended, he replied, "Feilong Internet Cafe is preparing to go public. It will go public in New York in the second half of next year or the first half of the year after. We will take advantage of the rising period of the Internet cafe industry to get some money out. Many people are playing this game now. I want to learn more about its fun."
"oh."
Nan Wuwei didn't believe it at all. He had rarely seen Nan Yi busy with work during the winter and summer vacations in the past two years. He didn't believe that a small Internet cafe would require Nan Yi to worry about it personally, but he didn't intend to argue.
You have to be right not to believe it. Nan Yi is talking nonsense. It is true that Feilong Internet Cafe is going to go public, and there are still two steps to go. They are to collect and sell certificates and cash out all the certificates, and then leave at the most prosperous time of the Internet cafe industry.
The plan has been arranged, and Huang Saner is in charge of the specific implementation. Nan Yi doesn't care about it at all. His playing "Audition" has nothing to do with the listing, he just wants to have fun.
"Together?"
"No, I'm playing Call of Duty 2."
"Okay, let's play our own games first. Then I'll play a game of StarCraft. I've learned some new tactics." As he spoke, Nan Yi started playing a new song, "Yellow Card" by Gao Yaotai.
"Don't say I'm bullying you. I'll let you develop for three minutes first."
"Will you die if you don't brag?" Nan Yi became angry and embarrassed instantly.
In terms of games, Nan Yi has been abused since he was three years old. He finally waited for the release of "StarCraft" and wanted to regain his face with it, but the reality was that he was only happy for three days. On the fourth day, Nan Wuwei, who had mastered the game, was able to match him on equal terms. After that, he returned to the normal situation of being abused.
"Four minutes, no more."
"It's a deal."
The father and son played in Feilong Internet Cafe for an entire afternoon. When it was almost time, they went back to cook and eat together. Then, at the hour, they sat together and watched the news.
The thirteen days passed in a flash. In order to deal with possible emergencies, Nanwu left some time in advance and set out to report for duty on the fourteenth day. From then on, he entered the army and it was like being in a deep sea.
As soon as Nan Wuwei left, Nan Yi's life returned to being lazy again.
More than eight years have passed. Tianxian, Tiger Cub and Gangxu have all retired. Sissy, Mama-san, the BBQ Team and the Hamburger Team have also replaced their team members. Now, only Miao Xiaolan is with Nan Yi.
Yan Du and his group are still here. They don't have to run around everywhere, and they don't have many trivial burdens. They spend plenty of time practicing. The improvement in their realm offsets the aging process, and they can still work for a few more years.
Chen Wenqin is still there, still serving as Nan Yi's personal secretary, but since three years ago, Nan Yi has basically become a hands-off boss. She rarely follows Nan Yi and spends most of her time in the Xinxin Investment office in Yaer Hutong, assisting Li Weijing in managing Nan Yi's personal assets.
Li Weijing is the person in charge of both Green Core Development and Xinxin Investment, but he has rarely focused his energy on Green Core Development. The funds invested that year have reached the recovery stage, and the recovered funds were not reinvested but directly transferred to the United States.
The main functions of Green Core Development have been completed, and the only things left are capital recovery and share management, which Li Weijing is capable of taking on.
Five years ago, Nan Youqiong, who was only 18 years old, followed Nan Yi for two years. Nan Yi taught him personally. Three years ago, he changed to remote control and instruction. In March of this year, Nan Youqiong was promoted to Nan Yi's previous position. Nan Yi hid behind the scenes, and Nan Youqiong entered the internship stage.
Nan Youqiong will have no problem handling daily work. He has been following Scarlett since he was a child, and the daily life of the company is part of his childhood memories. What needs to be observed and verified is his mentality and ability to deal with major events. If Nan Yi wants to complete his "send-off" job, he has to wait for major events to happen, and not just one or two, but at least three or four.
If Nan Youqiong wants to secure his position, in addition to gaining the recognition of Nan Yi and Scarlett, he also needs the genuine recognition of all Nan family members. Only in this way will there be no one who pretends to obey, and the Nan family can welcome the de-Nan Yiization.
…
"Students, last semester we talked about the impressive global economic performance in 2004. I have already talked about the overseas part, so I will not repeat it here. I will tell you about the domestic situation..."
After the university started, Nan Yi stood in a classroom at the School of Economics of Peking University and talked to the students gathered below.
At the beginning of last year, Nan Yi, as he had imagined, after a tour of foreign universities, became an associate professor at the University of Kyoto as he wished. He opened an elective course in the School of Economics, which could not be called a professional course, as he just taught whatever he thought of.
After the end of last semester, Nan Yi's course got a new nickname, "Free Score Class". He never called the roll. Students could come if they wanted to, and forget about it if they didn't want to. At the end of the semester, he would give high scores if they made sense.
"…In addition to the outstanding performance of home appliance manufacturers, the performance of sales companies is also quite good. After the truth that channels are king became the truth of the electrical appliance retail industry, the three electrical appliance chain retail companies, Jingxi Yiguo, Guangyu Electric Appliances, and Jindong Electric Appliances, became the three giants.
These three companies have the power to set prices for home appliances. For example, the price of a refrigerator is not determined by the manufacturer, but by these three companies. It is a pity that the price war between home appliance companies that has lasted for nearly 20 years has finally come to an end here.
Nan Yi paused and pointed at a girl who raised her hand, "Student, please speak."
The girl who raised her hand heard this and stood up and said, "Teacher Nan, how can a home appliance manufacturing company break away from the control of the three chain sales companies?"
"Please sit down." Nan Yi pressed his hand to let the girl sit down, "Actually, I don't need to answer this question. If you pay attention to the news of home appliance companies, you should have the answer in your mind.
The only active strategy available to home appliance companies is globalization, moving out of the domestic red ocean, or the sea of suffering, exporting their scale and cost advantages abroad, and achieving two goals through acquisitions: one, to achieve brand alliance, and two, to directly enter the mainstream sales channels in Europe and the United States.
Since the day our country joined the WTO, globalization has become a path that many companies must take. If they don’t take the initiative today, they will have to do it tomorrow even if a knife is placed on their necks.”
After talking about home appliances, Nan Yi talked about oil again. He not only talked about the overall international oil situation, but also some secrets in the oil industry that ordinary people and general practitioners are unlikely to find out. If someone took his words seriously and used the information to trade oil futures, it would not be difficult to make a little money.
In fact, since he stepped onto the podium, Nan Yi has revealed a lot of valuable information. He is giving it away sincerely in a class worth thirty yuan, hoping to see which lucky people will seize the opportunity and take the first solid step towards financial freedom.
After standing on the podium, Nan Yi found that he was not as interested in money as he had imagined. He did not need too much money. Tens of billions of dollars would be enough. He enjoyed the sense of accomplishment of teaching and educating people more. It seemed that he was born to be a teacher.
With less than fifteen minutes left before the end of the get out of class, Nan Yi gave students a preview of promising industries, such as e-commerce, information technology, and telecommunications. Three minutes before the end of the get out of class, he turned the topic to the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis.
"When I was young, I did business for a few years, and then worked for a multinational company for a few years. In fact, I have achieved financial freedom a long time ago. Otherwise, I should be busy making money to support my family now, instead of standing here and giving you a thirty-dollar class."
"Teacher Nan, how much money do you have?"
"Teacher Nan, I have no money on my meal card. Can you help me top it up?"
The classroom was in an uproar, with students chattering and asking all kinds of questions.
Nan Yi pressed his hand to quiet everyone down, "How much money I have is my privacy, I can't tell you, I can only tell you that as long as it's something I like, you don't have to care about the price.
Okay, back to the topic, I am a fan of the Lakers. Whenever the Lakers have a home game and I have time, I will fly to Los Angeles and watch the game at the stadium.
I flew more and more often, and it was troublesome to stay in a hotel every time, so I wanted to buy a house in Los Angeles so that I could stay there conveniently when I watched the game. When the real estate agent took me to see the house, he tried hard to sell me his company's loan products, saying that his company had channels, and even if you were a cat or a dog, you could pass the loan assessment.
I didn't believe it at the time, and I didn't want to listen to the real estate agent's chatter, so I gave him the name Tom. No doubt, it was the cat you all knew. "
Nan Yi smiled at the students and continued, "A few days later, the loan was approved, and I also bought a house in Los Angeles with zero down payment. I only spent a little on handling fees and agency fees.
A cat that doesn’t exist can get a loan, thanks to the current hot subprime mortgages in the United States. I spent some time researching subprime mortgages and found out…”
Ring ring ring!
"Class, that's all for today's class. See you next week."
boom!
The situation has exploded again.
"Teacher Nan, don't end the get out of class yet, tell us more."
"Yes, Mr. Nan, please tell me more."
"Teacher Nan..."
“…”
Nan Yi picked up his teacup and looked around the classroom. "When I was a student, I hated teachers who kept students late. I fantasized that one day I would become a teacher and never keep students late. So, see you next week."
After saying that, Nan Yi walked out of the classroom without looking back.
Just as he walked out of the teaching building, a pair of twin sisters came towards him. When they saw Nan Yi, they quickened their pace and walked towards him, holding Nan Yi tightly with one arm each.
"Uncle Nan, there's a new restaurant behind the school. We'd like to invite you to eat."
The sisters are two of the triplets of Ren Xia's class. Zheng Shanshan and Zheng Qiqi are the same age as Nan Wuwei, but were born half a month earlier. They have not grown up abnormally and have inherited all the good qualities of their parents. They are beautiful and smart. They are currently their seniors at Peking University.
But to be honest, the two of them are not the best in their class, and they were able to enter Peking University for two reasons: they have registered their household registration there and are children of faculty and staff.
"You two devils always come to intercept me. I only have a small salary, but you two eat it all."
The "please" the sisters said did not mean a treat, but simply an invitation for him to pay the bill.
Zheng Qiqi laughed and said, "Uncle Nan, don't cry about being poor. We won't be fooled. Mom said that you are a rich man, so let us stay with you."
Zheng Qiqi knew very well whether Nan Yi had money or not. She would receive big red envelopes from him every year on her birthday and Spring Festival. If house prices did not rise, she could save enough money in a few years to buy a large three-bedroom apartment.
"Nonsense, Mr. Ren would never say something like hanging out with a rich man." Nan Yi touched Zheng Qiqi's head and said lovingly, "Go eat by yourselves, and when you're done, give me a receipt and I'll reimburse you."
Ever since Zheng Qiqi was still a baby, Nan Yi had treated her differently and included her as a candidate for his daughter-in-law. However, ever since Nan Wuwei decided to join the army, these thoughts faded. Being a military wife is not easy, as you are often apart from each other. Nan Wuwei's partner should preferably be from a military family or be a serving soldier in a military agency or military hospital.
"No, Uncle Nan, let's go together." Zheng Qiqi shook Nan Yi's arm unwillingly.
Nan Yi reluctantly agreed: "Okay, okay, let's go."
"yeah!"
The two sisters raised two fingers and made the very popular "yeah" gesture.
Nan Yi shook his head helplessly, and was half-carried by the two sisters to walk out of the school. Along the way, he was bombarded with the unpopular song "Super High Feeling" sung by them.
…
"What is the current maximum number of online users in "Another World Continent"?"
In Yinke Building, in the office of the chairman of Nanfang Hongdou Group, Fan Hongdou is discussing business with Chai Zhenqi, the CEO of Hongdou Network.
After years of development, Hongdou Network has established several subsidiaries, including Hao Pay, Doudou, Huangdou and Jiangdou, which respectively develop third-party payment, chat software, food delivery platform, games and other businesses.
In addition, Wandou Company, which operates the shopping platform, will be established before the end of this year.
Just as Nan Yi had originally envisioned, Hao Pay quickly expanded its network across the country through branches of Feilong Internet Cafe and Yizhandeng Convenience Store. It not only dominated the recharge market for online games, but also won over a number of newspaper and magazine subscription payment businesses.
Since the four major banks were introduced as strategic partners in the early stage, Hao Pay did not encounter much resistance in its development. It was successfully connected with the online banking interfaces of various banks and opened up a pure online business channel based on the combination of online and offline.
HaoPay is the only one that stands out, leaving behind Shouxin and Huanxun, which appeared two years later, and Ant Pay, which appeared the year before last. Now all that’s missing is Wandou to give it wings to fly.
The development history of Doudou is more like verifying the four words "wealthy and powerful". When other entrepreneurs were still pretending to be women to attract users, Doudou had already deployed servers in major nodes across the country, pursuing the word "speed" to give users the best experience. With Doudou, users will not experience "network lag".
Moreover, Doudou software is optimized again and again to reduce memory usage as much as possible.
In addition, Doudou has also launched a spiritual shareholder plan, sending questionnaires to users, asking what shortcomings Doudou has and what functions Doudou needs to add.
Any user who provides good suggestions can get a cash reward deposited into a good payment account, or can obtain beans (coins) in the Doudou game, decorative props in the Doudou space, etc.
Doudou has been a huge success in China and is the only company that can stand out. It has completed seven or eight rounds of financing and started to make profits three years ago, but it was not until this year that it was able to go public.
Needless to say, Nan Yi is also timing the issue. If nothing unexpected happens, when the freezing period of some hidden shares ends, the stock price will rise to a high point, and then it will be sold at a high price, and then it will wait for the subprime mortgage crisis to break out and buy it back at a low price.
According to Nan Yi's plan, Doudou will not have the opportunity to grow to the market value of trillions of Hong Kong dollars of the object it imitates, because its business scale will be limited and it will not be allowed to expand extremely. In the future, new businesses related to or spreading from it will set up as separate companies and will not be placed under it.
Huangdou and Lai will cooperate to establish a relatively primitive food delivery platform. Users can log in to the platform's website and place an order on the website. They can pay directly through Hao Pay or pay cash on delivery. Or they can select the food and drinks they want to eat on the website, call the customer service hotline, inform the name/number of the food and drink they want to order, and then inform the address.
