Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1122 Mr. Xinda
It was Saturday again, and Nan Yi took his students to the teahouse and analyzed the ongoing Pu'er tea speculation case for them.
Compared with the previous cases of subprime mortgages and Iceland, Pu'er seems a little small, but it is closer to life. Moreover, Lu Yu Tea Industry played an important role in the rise of Pu'er's market. Many of the tea bricks with gimmicks that were stockpiled before have been sold out.
Therefore, Nan Yi was able to explain the beginning and process of the case in great detail, which was a means of hype. He also provided students with a deciphering analysis.
The first group to ignite the speculation of Pu'er was a group called Baiqi (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), which was affiliated with the Windblown Research Institute and led by General Du Zhige. The Baiqi group has been busy in recent years, traveling around and speculating on various products that have little to do with ordinary people.
For example, the next target of the Baiqi team is yellow wax stone, and the next target is to assist Li Xiangrong and that group of old men and young people to create a tornado in the antique circle.
The basic principle of the Baiqi Group is not to interfere with people's livelihood, to use the Buddhist virtues to eliminate greed, and to restore a bright and peaceful world.
Well, the Baiqi Group cannot be aloof and has been tainted by the vulgarity of the market. Their slogans are only 30% related to what they do, just like the song says, Obanan Yi Style.
After class, Nan Yi went straight to the airport.
After arriving in Yangcheng, I met Chen Ruiwu who came to pick me up at the exit, and we stood quietly by the side waiting.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Fan Hongdou came out.
Chen Ruiwu said nothing and respectfully went to the parking lot to greet Fan Hongdou. After Nan Yi watched the two leave, he took the car sent by Chen Ruiwu to Xinhepu Villa.
When he entered the villa and came out, Nan Yi's attire had changed drastically. He was wearing a full set of Feiyu suit and holding two lanterns in his hands. One of the lanterns had "Chen" and "Nan" written on it from right to left, and the other had "Chen" and "Nan Fan" written on it.
He took a lot of miscellaneous items into the car and sped towards Nanchen Village. On the way, he overtook the car that Fan Hongdou was riding in and arrived at the entrance of Nanchen Village first.
As soon as the car stopped, two children holding lanterns came to the front of the car and stood quietly on the left and right sides of the rear door. Nan Yi was sitting in the car and was not in a hurry to get out. He wanted to wait for the time and the signal to get off.
About an hour later, a burst of fireworks exploded in the air, and Chen Zongqing, wearing a black gown and a top hat, led two columns of people dressed similarly and slowly walked towards Nan Yi's car.
One of the columns is the village council, which is the board of directors that actually makes decisions in Nanchen Village. The other is the elderly group, which emerged after liberation and is an elderly association organization that emerged on a large scale in the Chaoshan area in the late 1970s.
The original intention of the elderly group was to organize activities for the elderly in their later years, but in many villages, the elderly have formed an organization that is in charge of ancestor worship, funerals, folk activities, and mediation of disputes. They even have more rights and their status is above that of the village committee.
The elderly group in Nanchen Village does not have much power. Apart from being responsible for ancestor worship and folk activities, their main job is to organize various activities for the elderly in the village, such as travel and competitions.
The elderly group also has a fund, which is allocated by the board of directors every year. The current figure has exceeded 150 million. Since half of the funds are contributed by Nan Yi, the supervision of the fund account is in Nan Yi's hands. Large sums of money that are used at one time must go through him, which avoids the scandals that have occurred in some villages where public funds were used to make loans, or embezzle money.
Chen Zongqing led two columns to the front of the car, bowed and shouted, "Welcome, Master."
Nan Yi, sitting in the car, was unmoved!
Chen Zongqing started to shout again: "Welcome, Master."
Nan Yi remained unmoved!
It was not until Chen Zongqing and his group called out for the third time that Nan Yi finally picked up the "Nan" lantern, opened the door and got out of the car. The two children holding the lanterns walked forward one on the left and one on the right, and Nan Yi followed with the lantern. Behind him, Chen Zongqing turned around and followed with two columns.
They arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall . The two children stood on the left and right of the gate. Nan Yi stepped into the hall, placed the lantern in his hand on the altar, knelt down and kowtowed to the lantern. After three kowtows, he stood up and bowed to the tablets of the Chen family's ancestors.
"Nan Yi has served as the great master of the Southern Chen family for more than 20 years. I dare not say that I have made outstanding contributions, but I have worked hard and never slacked off. Today, the end of my life is approaching, so I would like to resign from the Chen family ancestors."
After the sacrifice, Nan Yi hurried back to his home, took off his Feiyu suit, put on a navy blue gown, and carried the folded Feiyu suit to the altar in the ancestral hall. Then he met up with a group of people who had changed into festive reddish-brown gowns. Nan Yi and Chen Zongqing stood on the right and left of the front of the column.
Fireworks flew into the sky and firecrackers exploded. Nan Yi and Chen Zongqing walked slowly towards the archway at the entrance of the village, stepping on the flying red.
In front of the archway, Fan Hongdou, dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe, was already standing there quietly.
Two columns came up to her, bowed and called out, "Welcome, Master!"
At this moment, the position of the Great Master of Nan Yi has been passed on. From now on, Fan Hongdou becomes the sixth Great Master of the Chen family of Nan Chen. He will protect Nan Chen's industries behind the scenes and ensure its prosperity for at least the next twenty years.
Then, Fan Hongdou followed Chen Zongqing to perform the same ceremony as Nan Yi did that year. When the ceremony was over, Nan Yi's Feiyu suit and "Nan Fan" lantern were passed to Fan Hongdou. Since then, the meeting hall of the Nanchen Village Council has been put into use, and major events will be discussed in the meeting hall in the future.
Although there is no rule in Nanchen Village that women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, the scene of a woman from another family who did not marry into Nanchen Village sitting in the ancestral hall to discuss matters with a group of men always feels a bit weird.
The banquet started at eight o'clock in the evening.
Chen Zongqing, Fan Hongdou, board member & head of the house, Nan Yi, and the boss were sitting at the same table. Chen Zongqing sat at the main seat, Fan Hongdou sat at the main guest seat, and Nan Yi sat at the secondary guest seat. The others were all in black and green, only Fan Hongdou's Zhai dress looked very dazzling. She was the protagonist of the day, and she deserved to be a bright spot among the green.
At the table, a toast was first made to the new Mr. Fan Hongdou, and then the atmosphere became lively. Everyone started chatting with the people around them, mainly talking about business matters with each other.
Nan Yi, Chen Weiqiao and Chen Mingdi were chatting together about minerals.
Chen Mingdi: "After I go back, I plan to visit various forces in Kachin State and see if there is a chance to take over a few mines in the Phakant Iron Mine."
Chen Weiqiao had returned from Laos a few years ago and was based in Shenzhen to take full charge of the Nanchen Nonferrous Metals Group. Chen Mingdi replaced him to take charge of Southeast Asia.
“Although northern Myanmar is a small area, it involves the game between several major countries. There are intelligence agencies behind each armed group, and the situation there will probably remain chaotic. You can try it, just go there as if you are discussing normal business and share the shares. Don’t talk about other things. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, forget it.”
"Nan Yi, aren't you being too cautious? I heard that two people from the Northeast and a group of Hu Jian people are doing well over there." Chen Mingdi said disapprovingly.
"You're soaking in a dung vat, and you tell people you're eating dried black pig meat, not shit. Do you think anyone will believe you?"
Chen Mingdi glanced at the large squid on his chopsticks and put it on the plate with a helpless look on his face. "Can't you use a different metaphor?"
"You've only had enough food for a few years, and you can't stand it anymore?" Nan Yi reached his chopsticks into the basin, picked up the pig's feet and the dried pig meat, put them into his mouth, chewed them for a few times, and said vaguely: "It seems that traditional education cannot be abandoned. For lunch tomorrow, we will have vegetable fried dough sticks. Mix five ounces of sand into one pound of stuffing. No, eight ounces."
"It's not that troublesome, it would be better to just stew the sand with mud." Chen Weiqiao spat.
"Comrade Wei Kuang is really conscious. Don't run away. Come to my house at noon tomorrow and I will cook it for you myself."
"I have a meeting tomorrow. I'll leave at five."
"Give me another excuse. Don't force me to get up at three o'clock to cook for you."
After a few words of banter, the topic returned to the main topic.
"Ming Di, you still have to adhere to the principle of safety first. If you can go to chaotic areas, then go. If you can't go, don't force yourself. There are many places with mines in Southeast Asia. You won't have to worry about food no matter where you go.
You can go to Kachin. A few years ago, my people were logging in the First Special Zone controlled by Zekong Dingying. We had some connections there, so it was not difficult to find the temple gate. However, this old guy was not a good eater. He sold me the logging rights for two mountains for half a year, and then he sold it to someone else, selling the same thing twice.
It's best not to go there by yourself. Your hostage is valuable and it will cost too much to redeem you. Send someone else there. If you are really kidnapped, you can redeem him for a few hundred thousand yuan."
"Can you expect me a little?"
"Okay, I wish you a grandchild soon."
"whispering sound."
…
The next morning, Nan Yi and Fan Hongdou took a walk in the village after exercising.
After passing the archway, we arrived at the small processing industrial area in the village.
There are many processing factories in the industrial zone, including tofu shops, seafood processing factories, agricultural product processing factories, breweries, etc. All kinds of food-related products are available, but they are all very small in scale and do not produce products for external sale, but are self-sufficient.
The start-up rate is not high during normal times. Usually, the needs of the village are counted and then construction starts according to the demand.
Nan Yi and the other person came to the beer house and took two and a half cups of beer from a container that looked like boiling water. After clinking their glasses, they each tasted the beer.
"Godfather, it tastes good, it just tastes like Australian beer."
"You have a very good tongue. The equipment and technology are all introduced from the Margarita River Valley. Even the hop seeds are from Australia. They are absolutely pure blood." Nan Yi put the cup back on the table and pointed in the direction of the farmland. "Let's go over and take a look at the hops. There is still a row left to pick."
After leaving the beer house, the two walked towards the tofu shop, looked around, drank half a bowl of soy milk each, and then walked towards the next processing plant...
After touring the entire industrial area, the two came to the farmland area.
Standing on the mechanized farming road, you can see several kinds of strange-looking agricultural machinery running in an orderly manner in the farmland. Some of them are manned, and a few of them are definitely unmanned just by looking at their appearance. Looking up into the sky, you can also see two four-wing drones flying.
At the other end of the tractor road, there were two sunshade tents with three tables inside. Several young people were sitting in front of the tables, staring at laptop screens. Next to them stood two young women, each holding a large control console in their hands.
They are the new generation of farmers in Nanchen Village, collectively called farmers. According to their positions, they can be divided into female pilots. They have different code names in the village. Each of them is an undergraduate graduate from a domestic agricultural university and has gone to Cornell or Wageningen for further studies. They have also had internship experiences on large farms in Europe and the United States and small farms in Japan. They have a certain understanding of large-scale intensive agriculture and small-scale agriculture.
The one looking at the computer screen is the operator, codenamed "Low Power" in the village. His learning experience is similar to that of the female pilot, except that "Low Power" often has a good level of micro-control in the game. In a different environment, he may grow up to be an internet addict. In order to save them, electric shock therapy is needed, hence the codename "Low Power".
Fan Hongdou looked for a while, pointed at a piece of farm machinery in the field and asked, "Godfather, what is that machine with solar panels for?"
"The Woodpecker intelligent robot is solar-powered and equipped with satellite navigation and visual recognition systems. It is mainly used for weeding and pest detection. It is still a test product. The accuracy of its navigation and recognition is not high enough, and its intelligence is also a little lacking. We need to collect more data for its training."
"Its chassis looks very complicated. Is the target operating environment not a plain?"
"No, it will go up to the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare in the future." Nan Yi pointed to the sky, "These two little guys are also, mainly for mountainous areas, and are also experimental products. If you want it to play a big role, it must have satellite guidance with no blind spots in the sky, and it must be equipped with phased array radar and high-intelligence visual recognition system. It's a big project, there is still a long way to go, and it will cost a lot of money."
Nan Yi turned to look at Fan Hongdou and said, "Can I leave the radar to you?"
"OK."
"What about lasers?"
"OK."
"Very good, your money is enough for your personal enjoyment. Next, you need to work harder to make money and do something meaningful."
"Godfather, is Nanguo Hongdou transforming into a high-tech enterprise now?"
"No rush, take your time, and make money first. It's too difficult to go the high-tech route without hundreds of billions of cash." Nan Yi said, walking forward with Fan Hongdou, "Next Spring Festival, let Ruoyin come back, and we'll try our luck. She wants to go to heaven, so let her go. I'll be responsible for farming, and by the way, think about the food for running."
"Food running away?" Fan Hongdou asked suspiciously.
"You, you care too little about what your family is researching."
"whee."
"Does the slug know?"
"Yes, I know. I often see them on the wall of the pond in the courtyard of the South House."
"Well, there are slugs in the sea. Their scientific name is sea slugs. There are many types, and the scientific community has not yet figured out exactly how many there are. Among the known ones, there is one called leaf slugs. Its food is seaweed. When it eats seaweed, the chlorophyll in the seaweed will enter its body, and it will have the ability to photosynthesize.
I don't understand the details, so I won't tell you in detail. In short, the leaf sheep's photosynthesis ability is severely flawed, and it cannot survive without eating and directly relying on photosynthesis.
There is also another kind of sea slug called the green leaf sea slug, which is much more powerful than the leaf sheep. It does not achieve photosynthesis by devouring the chlorophyll of sea algae, but hijacks the genes of green algae and integrates them into its own chromosomes. You can also understand it as genetic evolution.
Green leaf sea slugs with photosynthesis can survive for more than 10 months without eating, and their longest life span is only 1 year. This means that they only need to eat one meal in their lifetime to live until they die.
Not only that, sea slugs are hermaphrodites. Uh… I won’t go into detail about this, you can go back and search the relevant scientific literature online.”
Fan Hongdou said with a smile: "Godfather, I'm thirty-two."
"You, even if you are a hundred years old, are still a little girl in my eyes. You are also my goddaughter. Girls should avoid their fathers when they grow up. There are some topics that we should not talk about."
Fan Hongdou didn't dwell on the previous question, but moved the topic forward, "Godfather, do you want to study sea slugs?"
"I'm not thinking about it, but I'm already researching it. I have an idea that may be unrealistic, which is to cultivate a plant-animal hybrid by studying sea slugs. They are animals when they are young, and they have a capsule on their bodies that stores photosynthesis genes for plants. If you release them, they will find a place suitable for reproduction on their own, and then change from animals to plants, take root there, and bear fruit.
When the fruit is ripe, they will transform from plants back into animals, put the fruit in their sacs, and then automatically return to the destination engraved in their genes, emptying the fruit in their sacs, and their lives will stop at that moment. "
Fan Hongdou: "Godfather, isn't this too complicated? Why not just create an animal that only needs photosynthesis to grow?"
"Of course I have thought about it. Maybe it's because of my diet. I subconsciously hope it's a plant. Besides, plants are easier to control than animals, and are less likely to cause unknown damage."
Fan Hongdou was stunned for a moment, then said after careful consideration: "It will take a long time to research this technology, right?"
Nan Yi stroked Fan Hongdou's hair and said, "Oh, there's no need to be so cautious. You can just say that godfather is dreaming. It doesn't matter. I don't have much hope myself. Fortunately, the R&D expenses don't need to be astronomical. Godfather will be willful for once."
"Godfather, I support you both spiritually and financially," Fan Hongdou said sincerely.
"Godfather, I only want your moral support. Financial support is not important. You have something you need to do, so the investment will not be small."
"Ruoyin goes to heaven, godfather, you go to the ground, and I will be responsible for going to the sea?"
"It's probably a little more difficult. Land, sea and air are all your goals to achieve." Nan Yi patted Fan Hongdou on the shoulder, "When you go back, ask private companies if they can engage in rocket research and development. I mean, it's a purely private company. Money should be spent on the right things, and there should be no extra money wasted on other inexplicable things."
"Godfather, we are engaged in rocket research in our country. Can the initiative always be in our hands?"
"Think about it again."
Nan Yi patted Fan Hongdou on the shoulder again, then walked towards a miniature agricultural machinery in the field, leaving Fan Hongdou standing there thinking.
Arriving at the field, Nan Yi deliberately stood in front of the miniature agricultural machinery. The agricultural machinery sensed the presence of the human-shaped obstacle and immediately spoke in human language: "You idiot, what are you doing? Get out of the way."
"Haha, which grandson recorded this?" Nan Yi smiled and took two steps to the side to make way for the farm machinery.
The agricultural machinery is not equipped with an intelligent voice system. For example, when reversing, it will play a reminder recording as long as it senses someone blocking the road. The recording can be recorded by itself, and whether to use swear words or civilized language depends on the user himself.
Nan Yi's eyes swept across every miniature agricultural machinery in the field, calculating in his mind how long it would take to come up with the final reduction and evolution plan for each agricultural machinery, and how long the losses would last afterwards.
Since it is a micro agricultural machinery , it is naturally developed for small plots of land. Being too smart does not suit the national conditions. After all, every point of intelligence means cost.
In the current farming industry, farming is a business that can only generate meager profits if farmers do not regard themselves as human beings and do not include their labor efforts in the cost. For small business owners like them who do not have much security, the only cost they can invest heavily in is their labor. Not to mention agricultural machinery, even the replacement of sickles and hoes requires careful consideration.
From an economic point of view, it is a very wrong decision to introduce the micro-agricultural machinery project into the country. The result is either a huge loss, a serious loss, or a loss. Not to mention selling it to other countries, even for self-use, it seems that it is not affordable.
Nan Chen is already planning to enter the agricultural field, and its goal is to grow high-value cash crops. Despite this, the use of these expensive micro-agricultural machinery is still not advisable. Comprehensively calculating the efficiency, lifespan, and maintenance costs of agricultural machinery, it is not as cost-effective as raising professional farmers, even if in addition to paying wages, they also have to pay social security and provident funds.
Whether using agricultural machinery or professional farmers, the cost is infinitely pushed up. Calculated based on small-scale planting, even if not making a penny, the terminal sales price of the crop must not be lower than 4 yuan per kilogram, and the crop must be easy to plant, harvest, and process. Otherwise, it would be nonsense and a waste of money.
"Godfather, are you worried?"
At some point, Fan Hongdou came to Nan Yi.
"Yes, I am worried. These agricultural machines are not mature yet and the cost cannot be reduced. They look exciting but are not practical."
"Mini agricultural machinery does not fit our national conditions. Why doesn't Godfather adjust his direction and develop large agricultural machinery?"
“Do you know how to make farmers rich quickly?”
"Um?"
"Revise the definition of nouns. Only wealthy farmers can be called farmers. Others should be expelled from the agricultural category. Give them a new name. You can find a more beautiful word. The more pleasant it sounds, the better. For example, a landlord who has 18 buildings to collect rent."
"Godfather, your idea is great."
"Great, right? There's something even better. The country is currently converting farmland to forest, but these agricultural machines are mainly used in mountainous environments. Economic fields are being moved up the mountain. I, your godfather, am stubborn and don't follow the crowd."
"What is the big flow? Expropriating farmland to build residential communities and turning farmers into landlords?"
"Well, that's a good idea. Twenty years ago, Fan Shengzhi Research Institute was already researching methods for growing mushrooms on cement floors, terrazzo floors, and floor tiles, as well as methods for growing mushrooms in toilets. It won't be long before city residents can grow mushrooms in their toilets and become self-sufficient in mushrooms."
"Hey, godfather, what you said is so disgusting. There are mushrooms growing in the toilet. How badly must one pay attention to hygiene to have them grow like this?"
"Haha, you can tell this to Ruo Yin. When she was three years old, she picked a few mushrooms from the toilet and presented them to me as a gift."
"Hey, I'm going to tease her with this."
"Don't just think about this. Have you figured out the previous question?"
