Chapter 194
After Liang Huiwen also left, Nanyi said to Ruan Zhiping: "Go and find out the situation of the Li family. It's best to be a prodigal son who eats, drinks, and gambles."
"Nan Sheng, things shouldn't be going so smoothly, right?"
"I know, I am just a good wish, just like praying for world peace."
In the song "Sing a Song of Huachu", Nanyi got on the plane to Lijiapo.
In Lijiapo in 1982, there were not many high-rise buildings. The OCBC Building was the tallest building in Lijiapo, with a height of 198 meters.
Orchard Road has no shopping malls next to each other. The Orchard Mandarin Hotel in the distance looks a bit lonely. Nanyi sits in the car and looks at the low buildings on the side of the road and the sparse vehicles on the road. From time to time, there will be people passing by on three wheels.
Ordinary bicycles are equipped with a trailer on the side, which is the so-called manpower side tricycle.
Seeing a Ming Kee grocery store on the side of the road, Nan Yi pulled over and Liang Huiwen followed him into the store.
The store sells a lot of miscellaneous things. There is a bookshelf at the door that is almost slanted like a shoe cabinet. There are novels and magazines on it. There are two ropes on the top of the bookshelf, and magazines are held by clips on it. It’s Nanyi. At a glance, there are English and Chinese, and Chinese has both simplified and traditional characters.
Walking into the store, you can see a vertical magazine rack in one corner, which is also full of magazines; beside the magazine rack is a glass counter. On the left side of the counter are some miscellaneous daily necessities, and on the right side are some food.
There are all kinds of pots and jars on the counter, and there are also all kinds of food inside.
Nanyi saw white rabbit toffee in one jar, and Wenchang hawthorn slices in another jar.
"Why didn't I know that Wenchangwei's hawthorn slices are still exported?"
A question mark popped up in Nanyi's mind.
But after a little thought, it became clear that this must have been exported by the supply and marketing cooperative.
There is also a wooden box next to the jar, which is filled with various tapes, some from Taitai, some from Japan, and some from Lijiapo.
Looking up, you can see a shelf with a variety of products on it.
There is also a cigarette display rack hanging on the side of the shelf. There are several common foreign cigarettes, as well as several Malay cigarettes, and there are also Indonesian Huangjia's needle cigarettes.
Through the products in the grocery store, Nanyi can roughly judge that compared with Xiangxi, Lijiapo's economy is much behind.
After lingering in the grocery store for so long, Nan Yi was embarrassed to leave empty-handed. He took out a greenish-purple one-dollar note and bought two hawthorn slices. He got back one for 50 cents, one for 20 cents, and one for 10 cents. coins.
One dime, neither expensive nor cheap, but it was a bit tiring to communicate with Abo, the owner of the grocery store.
Uncle can’t speak Mandarin, he speaks a lot, with a little bit of Hakka in Hokkien, a bit of Qiongdao in Hakka, and a little English with a very strong accent. I don’t know how to stand at the counter to do business with his accent. of.
Nanyi guessed that this uncle probably came to help temporarily, and the person who usually looks after the shop is either his wife or his son.
Walking out of the grocery store, he tore off the wrapping paper from the hawthorn slices, twisted a slice and stuffed it into his mouth.
This is the taste, absolutely produced in Wenchangwei.
This thing sells for two cents in China, and ten cents here. Calculated according to the domestic exchange rate, the Singapore currency is not worth as much as the yuan, and the difference is less than five times.
Calculate according to the actual exchange rate, or don't forget it, it hurts feelings.
Anyway, the price of hawthorn slices should have increased by more than twenty times.
"Huiwen, take a car and go, find a newsstand and buy all the newspapers you can buy, no matter if it's in Chinese or English, and it doesn't matter what day it is."
"OK."
"Dewin, let the other cars in the hotel go back first, let's go shopping."
"clear."
Dewen led the order and went to the car, whispered a few words to the driver, and all three cars drove away.
Nan Yi stood there and looked around, and compared with the map in his hand, he should be standing at the location of Orchard Central City in the future.
In the future, there will be a collection of famous stores on Orchard Road. It is a good place for shopping. He once accompanied a 17.5-tier actor to shop here.
"Damn, what's the actor's name?"
Nanyi couldn't remember her name, but she only remembered that she liked to make him call "Action" every time before that.
If I can't remember it, I don't want to. Nanyi walked out of Orchard Road, walked leisurely on the side road, and looked at the arcade beside the road from time to time.
The first floor of the arcade is basically full of various stalls, fruit stalls and tailor shops are the most, all kinds of fruits are placed in the range of the stalls, occupying a corner of the road, and at the entrance of the tailor shop, a piece of dress is hung on it.
Turning the corner of the street, another old lady was burning paper beside the road, and beside her was a woman in her forties holding a three-meter-long bamboo pole, standing far away, and stirring the pile of burning paper.
The woman wore red slippers, her calves were thick, and the veins on them were arched. Through the earth-colored apron, one could see that she was wearing a red, white and black dress. Before seeing the bulge, Nan Yi turned her eyes away.
There are several cars parked on the side of the road, beige Toyota, black Honda, and a few Honda and Yamaha motorcycles pass by from time to time.
Seeing a folding table on the side of the road ahead, where three girls were eating some noodles, Nan Yi suddenly worried about his food in Lijiapo.
He doesn't like Poe and Nyonya dishes either. It seems that he will have to eat Western food for a while.
Walking all the way until I reached the Seaside Park, stood by the seaside and looked at the sea for a while, Nanyi decided to go back to the hotel first.
Back at the hotel, Nanyi didn't go out again, and ordered room service for meals. Compared with the map in his hand, Nanyi read all the newspapers bought by Liang Huiwen.
After reading the newspaper, Nan Yi had a general idea of Li Jiapo's situation.
In the Central District, which is the most prosperous area, the price of a 4-room HDB flat of about 100 square meters ranges from 30,000 to 42,000 Singapore dollars, and only 20,000 to 25,000 Singapore dollars are needed in immature areas.
Lijiapo is not very big, the island is only 42 kilometers from east to west, and even shorter from north to south, only about 23 kilometers.
Buying a house near the central axis of the north and the south will not be too far no matter where you are. It doesn’t make much sense to buy a house in the central area. At most, it lacks supporting facilities now, but it doesn’t make much sense to Nanyi, and he doesn’t know how to do it himself. live.
1 Singapore dollar is 2.6 Hong Kong dollars, 50,000 to buy a house of more than 100 square meters, not to mention Hong Kong, if converted according to the domestic exchange rate, a 100-square-meter building in Beijing can also be calculated at 20,000 to 30,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Don't even think about the courtyard house, the kind of courtyard house that can be calculated at a price of hundreds of millions in the future has already sold for 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
The courtyard is just to watch the excitement. Nanyi is not very interested in him. Just hearing that this courtyard is worth 100 to 200 million yuan, and that one is worth 300 to 500 million yuan, how many people can actually buy it?
It's okay for self-occupation, but if you want to wait for the high price to sell out in the future, let's rest.
It sounds like it’s worth hundreds of millions, but if it’s sold for tens of millions, it’s Amitabha, which is about the same as the company’s valuation. If it’s worth a trillion or 500 billion, if it’s really going to be sold, an idiot will buy it at this valuation, not to mention the jumping price. , at least break a bone.
Valuation and worth are the most vain things, no matter how many millions of people are worth millions, they can't afford a pack of cigarettes.
Have you ever seen a subsistence allowance living in a house valued at tens of millions?
Nanyi picked up the phone and called out. After waiting for a long time, the other person answered the phone.
"Orchard Mandarin Hotel, come here quickly."
"Master Nan, why don't you tell me in advance when you come to Lijiapo, so that I can pick you up."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up."
"Alright, I'll be there in the past twenty minutes."
Twenty-three minutes later, Men San'er appeared in front of Nan Yi.
The breath is peaceful, not wheezing at all.
"How much is the house you bought, and how much did you pay for it?"
"260 square meters, I bought it at a low point at that time, a little over 120,000. Master Nan, do you want to buy a house?"
"Buy a few sets for fun, and hang them under your name. I looked at Lijiapo's real estate policy. It is much more expensive to sell to foreigners."
"Hang up whatever you want, as long as you are not afraid that I will swallow it."
"Hehe, if you have the guts to swallow it, I'm afraid you'll die. If you swallow it today, the rocket will hit your house tomorrow."
"Is it Katyusha?"
"I still have three sets of cars, don't talk about it, I have something to talk to you about."
When he heard that it was serious business, Men San'er looked serious.
"The newspaper said that Choa Chu Kang and Punggol are still rural areas, where chickens are still raised and farmed. Is it true?"
"Except for the circle in the middle, there are several ports. The corners of the island are basically rural areas. There are vegetable fields, pig farms, chicken farms, and flower gardens, and the chicken farms are the most."
"Accompany me to Choa Chu Kang tomorrow. I plan to buy a piece of land there."
"Master Nan, what are you going to do, take me with you?"
"Let's forget it. I want to be engaged in biopharmaceuticals. I may spend billions of dollars in it without seeing any splashes. I'm just taking a gamble. This gamble will take at least 30 years to be revealed.
Before that, I only invested money, but I couldn't see the money back. If I lost the bet, I would spend thirty years in vain. "
Men San'er heard that it took thirty years to have a chance to see the money back, so he retreated, "Master Nan, I don't see as far as you do. Thirty years later, who knows if I will still be here."
"Hahaha, if there is a chance to make quick money, I will definitely take you with me. Man San'er, you are different from me. You can live well yourself. I haven't seen where my son is yet. Already living for my son."
Nanyi is actually talking nonsense again. After the patent of Sidinafil expired, someone asked him to partner with a dry pharmaceutical factory to produce this thing. After half a year of research, he finally found that the pharmaceutical industry is too deep. , he stopped thinking.
He can memorize the patented formula of sildenafil back and forth.
Not only sildenafil, but during the research, Nanyi also learned about several other medicines whose patents have expired. The patented prescriptions of these medicines can make him eat a lot.
It's a gamble for others to do biopharmaceuticals, and Nanyi's doing it is basically invincible.
If you can open a pharmaceutical factory in "Yinjiao", the money will come in a lot of money. A cold medicine whose patent expired 800 years ago costs a few cents, and the pharmacy sells it for tens of dollars. How lucrative it is.
There is no need for research and development fees, just spend some entertainment expenses, go fuck research and development, wouldn't it be nice to make some expired patent medicines?
Once the prescription is copied, the active ingredients are diluted, and more pimples are put in it, one box becomes effective and becomes eight boxes for a course of treatment, tsk tsk, sell seven more boxes of medicine, Western ghosts and animals are idiots, and they don't know how to make money.
"Master Nan, when it comes to a son, I'm about to have one." Man San'er said happily.
"Oh, I didn't hear you, where are you from?"
"The foreign girl, tall at 1.8 meters, very solid. I have only known each other for a few months, who will make my buddy so awesome, she won the bid with one shot."
"Come here for a tour?"
"No, their ancestral home is Yingguo, and their family has been in Lijiapo for several generations."
"Then bring it out to meet you another day."
"Don't tell me, there's no need to change the day, just come to my place today and let her clean up Master Nan. Let me tell you, Emma can not only cook Western food, but also Southern Fujian food."
"That's something to try, that's fine, I'll have a meal with you today."
After going to Men San'er's house, Nanyi found that Men San'er was really not talking big, Emma was really good looking, she was 1.8 meters tall because Men San'er was bragging, at most 1.73 meters, she was very plump, with pockets on her body Watching two footballs, there was a little baby sound when he spoke.
As for appearance, I don't need to evaluate it, as long as Men San'er likes it, it's fine.
"Nan, welcome."
"Hello, Emma, you can call me Adam."
Emma's English has Li Jiapo's unique accent, which sounds a bit uncomfortable.
"Okay, Adam."
When she spoke again, Emma had already switched to Mandarin with a strange accent.
"do you speak Chinese?"
"Yes, my university is in Malaysia, and there are many Chinese-speaking classmates there."
"Oh, that's it."
"Emma, you cook first." Man San'er said.
"Okay, you two talk."
Emma said something and walked to the kitchen.
"Men San'er, Emma is not bad, are you going to get married?"
"I have it all in my stomach, so what can I do if I don't get married, I like her quite a bit, so let's do it."
"Listen to your tone, when I didn't know, you had a lot of stories?"
"Master Nan, I have stayed in Lijiapo for a long time, and I did have stories with quite a few girls. I found out that's all. I got tired of it. I finally met Emma and I hit it off. I'm going to take it easy. Been with her."
Nan Yi patted Men San'er on the shoulder, "Very good, I have to learn from you."
"Master Nan, what about you, when are you going to do it?"
"I'm still early, let's talk about it in two years."
"It's not too early."
"Um."
Regarding feelings, Nanyi didn't want to talk too much, Men San'er also felt it, and quickly changed the subject, telling Nanyi something about Lijiapo's experience here.
