Chapter 361 Cosmic Brand Cigarettes
In Nanyi's mind, there are still a few gold mines, diamond mines and oil wells that have not been discovered so far, and he has the opportunity to occupy them.
The Nan family's development in the mining industry mainly relies on head-to-head bayonets with others. He originally wanted to leave a few more mines he knew to his sons. Taking advantage of the good opportunity now, he went to the world to rob mineral resources.
Several big countries have not set their sights on Africa for the time being. Nanyi can support and invest in a few armed forces behind the scenes. They gain power, and Nanyi gets mineral deposits. It can be said to be mutually beneficial.
But after that, how to solve the current difficulties is the primary issue.
This is not to say that Nanyi was too impulsive when it made the decision to acquire 20th Century Fox. It is really a rare opportunity. There is a big difference between others actively wanting to sell and a hostile acquisition.
Regardless of the amount of capital invested, or whether the receipt is smooth or not, it will be much easier to operate if others take the initiative to sell.
A hostile takeover not only requires antagonism with others, but it is also extremely difficult. Either the possibility of failure is high, or the budget is high. Moreover, a takeover battle often takes a long time, and the cost of money and time is very high.
Of course, the most important thing is that it's not that the Nan family has no money, but that Nanyi doesn't want to transfer the money to the country. He finally got it out of the country, and he got it back, isn't that two?
However, it is not impossible for Nanyi to take this step when things are critical.
In addition, there are still a lot of shares in Pan Am, and he can still ask the bank to continue to mortgage. He can get the money at any time when he needs it. Cher went to buy.
It's all because he has the bottom of his heart and won't let the worst happen.
After talking with Rachel, he took Nan Ruobing to the airport. Today is the afternoon of January 31st, Los Angeles time. There is a 16-hour time difference between Beijing and Los Angeles. Hurry back. Eating New Year's Eve dinner is not enough, but maybe it is possible to catch up with Liu Zhen to open the door on the first day of the first lunar month.
The plane refueled once in the middle, and it took a little time to change to the civil aviation in Xiangtang and fly to the capital. It was more than 20 hours later when Nanyi and Nan Ruofing arrived at the old bungalow.
"Happy New Year, little girl."
Flying in the air, it should be the time for New Year's Eve dinner, Nanyi sent Nan Ruofing blessings.
"Father, Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here's the red envelope." After a few heartfelt blessings, Nan Ruofing stretched out her little hand.
Nan Yi took out the big red envelope prepared in advance and put it in Nan Ruofing's hands.
Nan Ruofing hurriedly opened the red envelope to see what gift her father gave her this year. Last year it was a share of Tesco. What will it be this year?
Nan Ruofing was full of anticipation, but she took out a piece of paper from the red envelope, and it looked like it was still torn from a notebook.
Unfolded, a few words were written on the paper: "A piece of land in Beverly Hills, I owe it first."
"Father, you are too miserable, you can't even afford red envelopes this year?" Nan Ruofing said after reading the words on the paper.
"Yeah, dad is really tight on money this year, but no matter how hard it is, let's Ruobing, don't worry, dad will definitely cash it out in three or four months at the most."
"Yes." Nan Ruobing nodded and asked, "Father, what red envelope did you prepare for Fan Hongdou?"
Nan Ruofeng now calls Fan Hongdou by his first name, and doesn't call her sister Hongdou anymore.
"Her, an old bungalow in Shanghai. Dad hasn't bought it yet, so he still owes it first, and will cash it in later."
"Oh." Nan Ruofeng narrowed his eyes, "Dad, I'm sleepy."
"Then you go to sleep in your room, and Dad will deal with it on the seat."
"Okay, Dad, I'm going to bed."
"Good night."
After Nanyi's many black-faced teachings, Nan Ruofing will not bring up the topic of letting Nanyi sleep with her now, which allows Nanyi to avoid embarrassment.
In her sleep, the plane landed at Kai Tak Airport, Xiaohua went to buy a ticket to the capital, and then quietly adjusted the time for Nanyi's watch.
At 9:20 a.m. on February 2, several people from Nanyi got on the plane to the capital and returned to the old bungalow at 2 p.m.
It is so complicated and tossing, all because the mainland has not yet opened the private jet line, and Nanyi does not want to make too high a profile in the mainland.
"Aunt Liu, happy new year."
"Ruopin, Happy New Year, Auntie will give you a red envelope."
"Thank you, Aunt Liu."
After receiving the red envelope, she acted cutely, and Nan Ruofeng sat obediently on the sofa, watching the replay of the imperial court's Spring Festival Gala.
"How is it? Is the reaction strong?" Nanyi walked up to Liu Zhen and said.
"It's nothing, I just retched a bit one morning, I didn't have much reaction, why did I come back so late? I can't do it a day earlier?" Liu Zhen complained a little.
"You know I don't have any idea about Chinese New Year. I just remembered that it's New Year's Eve the day before yesterday, but yesterday's schedule has already been arranged, and it's hard to change."
"Didn't sleep last night?"
"I slept on the plane, and it happened to cross several time zones, and it was all night. If I slept a little longer, I wouldn't be tired."
"Oh, watch TV with me. Yesterday's New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at home. I didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala well. This year's Spring Festival Gala has a lot of good shows, which are quite interesting. There was also a Hong Kong singer who sang a patriotic anthem."
"Zhang Mingxi, right?"
"Looks like him, you know?"
"I heard it from Wang Yan. You know that he is in the field of literature and art. He has already known most of the programs during the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, but he may not be able to appear in the end, and may be rejected."
Nan Yi said, sitting on the edge of Liu Zhen's sofa, looking up at the TV.
The Spring Festival Gala, live broadcast on New Year's Eve, and rebroadcast on New Year's Day, seems to have been a tradition since the first session. As for whether it has changed in later generations, Nanyi is not quite sure.
In his previous life, after entering the 21st century, he seemed to have never watched the Spring Festival Gala.
At this time, Ma Ji's "Universe Brand Cigarettes" was being broadcast on TV. This stand-up comic was a bit interesting, and it was very forward-looking, revealing some practices of future businessmen in advance.
For example, if the brand stinks, change another brand and continue to work. There is also the strategy that Nanyi is preparing to do to increase sales of trucks, such as Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Jinling Twelve Gold Hairpins, Fuji Mountain Thirty-six Scenes, One Hundred Singles and Eight Generals, Five Hundreds of arhats and millions of heroes went to the south of the Yangtze River.
Except for the last two, Nanyi can take advantage of this Dongfeng to immediately set up Wenchangwei.
"Hehehe, why is Ma Ji really smoking cigarettes?"
"Just to shake the burden." Nan Yi responded, but thought in his heart, "Watch it quickly while it's still interesting. After two years, please watch it. You probably won't even watch it."
Ma Ji's stand-up comedy ended with a clown performance, followed by another song "Where is Happiness", and then another song.
Nanyi regained the mood he had when he was a child, wishing to kick them off, and hurriedly gave up the stage to cross talk.
"Please come to the ends of the earth, spring is always here, Mr. Shen sings so beautifully."
"Well, it sounds nice." Nan Yi replied sincerely and a little impatiently.
After simmering and simmering, after more than an hour, I finally saw an interesting program - "Eating Noodles".
That is to say, from this program, a new stage program form "Sketch" was born, and it also began the domination of Chen and Zhu over the Spring Festival Gala sketch.
After "Eating Noodles", it was another period of garbage time for Nanyi, and then came the song "Girl from Alishan" that lifted his spirits, and after another meeting, he was not in the mood to watch it anymore .
Hard qigong came on the stage, such as the kid splitting walnuts with bare hands, the little girl stepping on eggs, and the old man breaking the thick steel bars of his arms. Nan Yi remembered that there would be hard qigong programs for several years in a row.
Nan Yi sneered at this, and it is useless to practice this, it is better to practice lead pot kung fu together with him, in the future we will work together for the country, collectively use kung fu to protect the satellite into the sky.
It's a pity, it's a pity, the Long March 3 took to the sky two days ago and didn't catch up.
"Nanyi, I'm hungry."
Nan Yi looked at his watch, it was already almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and it took him almost two hours to express his emotions.
"Is there any food at home?"
"Yes, I asked Zhiling to buy a lot, and there are three hundred catties of cabbage piled up in the yard, didn't you see?"
"Why do you buy so much cabbage? We don't pickle cabbage. If you want to eat fresh ones, let Ge Cuizhu send them over. The reclamation group has vegetable greenhouses, so you don't have to worry about vegetables in winter."
"It's so troublesome. There are vegetables to buy here in Beijing in winter, but the variety is a little less."
"Oh, I'm going to cook."
Nanyi was busy in the kitchen for a while, bathed in the song "Unforgettable Tonight" sung on the first Spring Festival Gala, the two big ones who were not very reunion made up for the missed New Year's Eve dinner.
It's also new, Yang Bailao and Xi'er came in early, and Nanyi and the others came later.
"Father, do you still remember the content of "Universe Brand Cigarettes" just now?" Nan Ruofing stuffed black fungus fried meat into a steamed bun and took a bite, opening her greasy mouth.
"Liu Zhen, I forgot to ask you, where did the steamed buns come from?"
"It was sent by Man San'er. I heard from him that he went to Zhejiang Province and brought it back from there."
"Is he in the capital?"
"No, I flew to Lijiapo with Emma before the Chinese New Year."
"oh."
"Father, I'm asking you something." Seeing Nanyi ignoring him, Nan Ruofeng said bitterly.
"What are you asking?"
"Do you still remember the content of "Universe Brand Cigarettes"?"
"Remember, what's the matter?" Nanyi picked up a piece of fatty meat and stuffed it into the steamed bun, took a bite, and the oily flower burst in his mouth.
"Do you have this brand of cigarettes?"
"Not now, but there should be one after a while. With so many cigarette factories across the country, there must be a few factory managers who can think of this huge advertising effect. This brand will probably be registered." Nan Yi disapproved. Said.
"Dad, haven't you thought about registering first? Aunt Liu, are you going to work the day after tomorrow?"
In the 1980s, there were three days off during the Spring Festival, from the 30th day of the Lunar New Year to the second day of junior high school, and the third day of junior high school had to go to work.
"Why do you register? You still want to fight with the tobacco factory? Don't think about it when you shouldn't think about it. Here, you can't just limit yourself to business thinking, you have to consider political factors.
We can’t make cigarettes, and if we want to register, we can only register one universe brand. There are not many categories, but no matter how many categories we register, other tobacco factories can still register universe brand cigarettes.
Your idea of malicious preemptive registration of trademarks does not work at all. If you have an idea, you might as well analyze the well-known international brands. If they want to translate them into Chinese names, how would they translate them, and then preemptively register their Chinese trademarks for comparison? have a future.
For example, Benz, if you read it, is the pronunciation similar to that of Benz? "
“[bnz], it’s pretty much the same, but what if Messers doesn’t use Mercedes-Benz, but uses Hong Kong’s Mercedes-Benz to translate, or Taichi’s Mercedes-Benz?”
"Then you think you are unlucky." Nan Yi said with a smile: "Okay, don't think about it, you are from a foreign country, and you can't register a trademark if you don't invest in a company in the mainland. You still have to find a mainlander to hold it on your behalf." trademark.
Ruobing, you are smart, and you are not stupid. Those who need a trademark will not come to talk to you directly. They will go to the person they should find. Hand it over. "
"Father, who is so awesome?"
"It's Chinese New Year, don't talk about this, hurry up and eat."
"Hmph, it's like this again, you don't speak clearly, and you are perfunctory to me. A few years ago, you didn't answer me what it means to be a broken shoe. Didn't you say that you went to the library to check books, and after you checked, you couldn't find anything."
"Hey, you little girl, you have a pretty good memory. I still remember this. Why, don't tell me, you still don't know what it means to have broken shoes."
"I know, that's what I know, and you didn't tell me, you're just coaxing children." Nan Ruofing said dissatisfiedly.
"Little girl, it's for your own good that I don't tell you. Don't push your nose on your face."
"Hmph, you forgot to tell me something again. You can say it before. Parents' words of 'for your own good' often hurt their children the most."
"Hahaha, Nan Yi, I think you can't stand us Ruo Fing anymore, Ruo Fing, try to argue with your father, let him see your ability." Liu Zhen laughed.
"Aunt Liu, I'm not talking about it, I'm presenting the facts and reasoning."
"Okay, see what you can do, hurry up and eat, don't drive me crazy, talk nonsense again, I'll wipe your mouth with toilet paper."
"Uh, I won't talk anymore. Dad eats, and Aunt Liu eats." Nan Ruobing acted cute as soon as she heard Nanyi's words, and she didn't want to be wiped by Nanyi with straw paper anymore.
Wiping the mouth with straw paper is a custom in some places. During the Chinese New Year, if children say unlucky words, they will not beat the child, but will only wipe their mouth with straw paper. However, usually before the child makes a mistake, the mother will wipe the child first. This custom seems to be quite small, and not many people may know it.
