Chapter 713 Hugo and the heir
"What are you trying to say? Coca-Cola?"
"Yes, I plan to buy Coca-Cola stock heavily."
"Buy it in the name of Scarlett Fund, or?"
“Recently when I attended a party, some friends asked me to help manage their idle funds. It doesn’t need to have a high return, as long as it is safe and beats inflation by the way.
I plan to set up a long-term wealth management company. This company will engage in prudent investment. It will be similar to Buffett's approach, mainly investing in cash-milk companies. "
"Who do you mean by friends?"
"Jews, who are engaged in flow-through business and have no great interest in entering the financial field, and who can save a large amount of cash every year, we can call them conservative Jews."
"How much money is there?"
Nan Yi felt a little jealous in his heart. It was so easy for Scarlett to raise funds, especially after she already had a certain status and integrity. The good performance of the Scarlett Fund had already made investors recognize Scarlett's investment ability.
Scarlett didn't need to go out to fool her when she needed funds, as other Jews would come to her door.
"It is clear that there are nearly 500 million U.S. dollars, and the unclear ones are about 300 million. There are still some people who remain on the sidelines and may hand over the funds to me next year or the year after."
"So your operating model is to invest in cash milk, receive dividends every year, and then sit and wait for the company's stock price to appreciate?"
"Basically, I should be able to eat some good companies. Adam, I plan to fully focus on the financial side. The food group, the mining group, and the oil company. I plan to only name them and hand over the management rights to the Intelligence Policy Committee. "
Nan Yi shrugged, "It seems that you haven't handled the specific management much?"
The Mining and Petroleum affairs under Nanshi have always been managed by the Petroleum \u0026 Minerals Group. Kuang Jinsheng and Erudo von Mackensen are actually in charge, and Scarlett is more responsible for the appearance , she will be responsible for major negotiations.
"I have been involved in major decisions."
After a little thought, Nan Yi said: "In the oil field, we have not made much action. After Husky Energy, we have not made any other major actions. We just added an oil field in Dubai?"
Nan Yi said, and glanced at Scarlett.
"Yes, we now only have shares in Husky Energy and a modest oil field in Dubai."
"Well, although I have always wanted to have a certain right to speak in the energy field, it does not mean that we must treat oil companies as taboos." Nan Yi nodded and said.
"So, do you have an idea to recruit shareholders?"
"Didn't we discuss with Victor Li last time?" Nan Yi asked without answering.
"The appetite is too great, the bid is too low."
"Oh, Karikyo Ikeda from the Ikeda Club will come to New York tomorrow."
"What is he doing in New York?"
"Inspect the branch where the Ikeda trainees are dispatched, and stop by to report on the work. The dispatch of Ikeda trainees will be greatly expanded soon."
"Is it necessary for a company that cannot generate profits to expand?" Scarlett frowned.
"I can't now, but it doesn't mean I won't be able to..."
"Daddy, have you finished eating?" Nan Youqiong suddenly walked up to Nan Yi and asked.
Nan Yi picked up the last piece of steak in the basin, put away the tableware and bowl in front of him, looked at Scarlett and asked, "Is it still 125 cents?"
"The price has increased, it's 150 cents now." Nan Youqiong replied quickly.
"Oh, the increase in labor costs is really fast." Nan Yi said, took out a few coins from his pocket, tapped them and handed them to Nan Youqiong, "165 cents, 15 cents is considered a tip."
Nan Youqiong took the coin, counted it, and put it in his pocket, without Nanyi's smile worth 20 cents, "Thank, Sir."
Seeing Nan Youqiong put away the dishes on the table, Nan Yi continued to say to Scarlett: "If you can't make money now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to make money in the future. Of course, this is not the point I want to talk about. Ikeda trainee sent The next market to be expanded is the United Arab Emirates, Dubai, Brunei, Qatar and other countries.
These countries are rapidly expanding their wealth because of oil. The money earned from selling oil not only completes domestic infrastructure construction, but also has spare money for global investment. Whether it is national funds or funds from vested interests, they are all looking for them around the world. investment project. "
"You want me to have contact with these 'white cloth strips'?"
Nan Yi said with a straight face: "Scarlett, don't give people nicknames indiscriminately. They are not strips of white cloth, but white cloth on their heads, and a piece of cloth on their heads. I am the richest in the world. We don't say we want to curry favor with these rich people, but how They must also provide them with comprehensive and caring services.
A prince came to New York to inspect a project on behalf of his country. Shouldn't he have some fun after busy work?
Celebrities and models don’t need us to worry about, they can play more than we imagined, in addition, there are high-end villas, high-end cars, yachts, private jets, luxury goods, top food ingredients, drinks, as top rich people, These have to be their daily standard equipment, otherwise they will lose their status as rich and powerful, and lose the majesty of a newly developed country. "
"Haha, Adam, you really want to earn any money, not only their idle funds, but also the money for buying toys, you want to scrape a fortune?" Scarlett laughed wildly.
"Don't put it so harshly. They get money easily with white cloths on their heads. They just need to put a pipe in the ground and wait to get money. They have never experienced the hardships of making money. Therefore, their consumption thinking is completely different from ours. In terms of personal enjoyment, they You should be very willing to spend money. These years, you haven’t used the Libertine Agency much, have you?”
"I used it a few times at the beginning, but then I didn't use it very much." Scarlett spread her hands and said, "Adam, the situation has changed. We have developed to this stage, and if we use courtesans to communicate with people, we will fall into the bottom line. will be made fun of."
"Hmm, so my idea is to reorganize the libertines and change it into a Saker club serving the oil rich in the Middle East, providing them with all legal needs, they only need to pay, and we will take care of the rest Do."
"In addition to absorbing investment, provide additional services?"
"Well, fund escrow is a normal business, and we treat them as normal customers. Saker is to provide them with accurate consumption tips so that they don't spend a lot of money but can't buy products that meet the requirements. The goods and services they want."
"Understood, you are preparing for Adam Bank's business. Ha, Adam, cultivated for a few years, waited for a few years, put yourself into it, and as a result, the cooked duck flew away." Scarlett After a big laugh, he said with a cold face, "Are you fair to me?"
"Isn't it fair? I didn't give you a platform to realize your self-worth?"
"Do you dare not give it? Adam, we are all smart people. If I am not the daughter of the Cox family, if I am not Jewish, can I sit in the current seat?"
Nan Yi frowned, "Scarlett, there are some words that don't need to be said, it hurts our mutual feelings."
"OK, I won't say it." Scarlett spread her hands, "Adam, you just need to remember that I have paid a lot for Nan's, and don't let me down."
"Don't worry, no matter who it is, I will let her get more than what she paid for, Scarlett, I'm not yet thirty years old, I'm still very young, there are some things, you don't have to think too much now, as long as nothing happens Unexpectedly, the Nan family will definitely be handed over to Youqiong to inherit.
In Huaguo, there is no prospect of doing business. I hope Wuwei can take another path and work hard in another direction. Of course, everything must be based on what he wants and likes. If he grows up, he will I want to be a businessman, an entrepreneur, and I hope you will agree with me to give him a start-up capital.
By the time he stepped onto the stage, the ceiling of self-made would be very limited. "
Finally hearing Nan Yi's answer that she was very sure that she would hand over the Nan family to Nan Youqiong, Scarlett's tone softened a lot, "Adam, you have been heavily managing your Huaguo contacts these years, you just need to transfer these contacts to Nan Youqiong. Leave it to Wuwei, I believe he can succeed no matter what he does.”
"I hope."
There are some things that Nanyi can’t tell Scarlet too thoroughly, nor can he explain them too clearly. This involves the struggle within the family, and also involves personal beliefs. The land he and Scarlet love deeply are not the same land .
"If Wuwei wants to start a business, how much start-up capital do you plan to give him?"
"You don't need to give too much. Giving too much is not conducive to his self-struggle. What do you think of 50 billion?" Nan Yi asked cautiously.
"Huh, dollars?"
"RMB."
"One time?"
"It depends on the situation. We'll talk about it later."
"OK, I have no problem."
Scarlett is very clear that the exchange rate of RMB will definitely drop, 50 billion RMB may only be 50 or 6 billion US dollars in the future, this figure may not be as much as Nanyi's private subsidy, so just give it.
Nanyi said that giving Nanwuwei 50 billion is just an excuse. If Nanwuwei really goes on the road of self-employment in the future, he does not intend to give Nanwuwei too much start-up capital, and will only give a small goal of 100 million at most.
As the son of Nanyi, with a mother like Liu Zhen, even if Nan Wuwei's IQ is on par with Xian Weiqi, he will definitely be a business elite. At least within the territory of Huaguo, Nan Wuwei will definitely be at home.
After talking about heavy topics, Nanyi and Scarlett walked outside on the grass in the garden.
Walking through a meadow, Scarlett suddenly said: "Adler hasn't been to the snow-capped mountains yet. Let's spend some time with him to climb the snow-capped mountains. You can bring Wuwei with you."
"Which snow mountain?"
"Anywhere, Mount Rainier or Olympic Mountain."
"It's already September, it's a bit late this year, and the snow season is coming soon, and the snow-capped mountains are no longer attractive. Why don't we go to the Argentine Pampas in winter? I haven't been to our own horse farm yet. "
"Yes, the weather in Argentina is warm in November and December, so you can go there to avoid the cold."
"It's scheduled in December. In addition to the Pampas grassland, we can also go to the end of the world."
"Ushuaia, that's a nice little city, it's not bad to go there again." Scarlett agreed.
"you've been to?"
"uh-huh!"
"Tell me about it."
"There's nothing to say, just see it with your own eyes."
...
Day after day, strange sights appear on the golden coastline of the United States—the fiery red sun in the sky is covered with a layer of golden yellow, dyed with white clouds, ever-changing and mysterious.
Residents in the Caribbean enjoy the sunshine and the brisk sea breeze, but they don't know that a powerful storm is brewing.
On September 3, a tropical disturbance left the African continent and gradually approached the Caribbean Sea from east to west. Due to the lack of organization of the tropical disturbance, it did not attract enough attention from the US National Hurricane Center.
On September 6, the trader team led by Caesar and Wendy had already established long positions in the futures market.
On September 8, the tropical disturbance was supported by the seawater temperature of the Atlantic Ocean. This tropical disturbance gradually strengthened and showed a spiral characteristic.
On September 9, the tropical disturbance intensified into a tropical storm. The National Hurricane Center of the United States finally confirmed that a hurricane was coming, and this hurricane was also given a beautiful name "Hugo".
Afterwards, Hugo intensified slowly, while moving slowly to the northwest, and strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane about 250 kilometers south of the Dominican Republic. The satellite photographed Hugo. Its huge body surprised the workers of the US National Hurricane Center. .
For residents of the Caribbean, it is doomed to experience countless sleepless nights.
Hugo, which was still a Category 1 hurricane on September 10, suddenly strengthened explosively, and strengthened into a Category 3 hurricane on the 11th, with a sustained wind speed of 205 km/h and an air pressure of 960 millibars.
On September 12, Hugo turned his 25-kilometer-diameter eye and forced his way through Jamaica's east coast with a 19-foot wave.
As soon as he landed, Hugo became a pioneer in the smoking ban. When he came to the Royal Jamaica Cigar Factory in Kingston, he waved his hands and cast two boundless hits, "Grandma is a bear, I hate cigarettes the most. Don't think it's thicker. I You will feel that what is produced here is not cigarettes.”
First Royal Jamaica, then McNudoo, and none of the Jamaica cigar factories was spared.
"Drink coffee, I'll let you drink coffee."
After tidying up the cigar factory, Hugo went to the coffee garden with all his troops. Besides cigarettes, Hugo also hated coffee very much. When he came to the coffee garden, it was a period of fierce firepower output.
After a short stop in Jamaica, Hugo continued to triumph.
The hurricane command room was over, and Nanyi stared at the TV screen hanging high, and asked, "Chade, where will Hugo go next?"
"Cayman Islands."
"You know what I'm going to ask." Nan Yi said displeased.
"After that is the Yucatan Peninsula, and then Mexico, Texas and Louisiana should not be spared, and the direction after that is hard to judge."
Texas has cow dung tomorrow, Louisiana has two ranches, and there are farms in Arkansas and Kansas. If Hugo goes all the way up, Scarlett Food Group will suffer big losses.
As long as Hugo can stop in Arkansas, Nanyi will be considered a false alarm this time.
Texas and Louisiana are often visited by hurricanes, and they have very rich experience in dealing with hurricanes. Except for pastures, cattle and sheep may not hurt a single hair on the pastures.
Cow dung will be a bit troublesome tomorrow. If Hugo passes by, I don’t know how much cow dung will be scraped away. Although cow dung is free, its value in Nanyi’s hands cannot be underestimated.
Nanyi had no choice but to listen to the cheers of Caesar and Wendy from time to time, stare at the TV screen, and always pay attention to Hugo's movements.
Hugo's eye structure was somewhat damaged after it landed on Jamaica Island. After going out to sea, the eye of the storm reorganized. Hugo strengthened explosively again. It continued to move northwest and began to attack the Cayman Islands.
One of the observation stations in the Cayman Islands measured a maximum sustained wind speed of 252 km/h in the center of Hugo, which indicates that Hugo will soon be upgraded to a Category 5 hurricane, the highest level on the Saffir Simpson Hurricane Scale.
Hugo landed on the Yucatan Peninsula with the intensity of a Category 5 hurricane. The air pressure was 900hpa when it landed. The huge circulation and cloud system covered most of the Caribbean Sea. Hugo became the nightmare of the Caribbean Sea. In a trance, the Caribbean People along the coast seem to have seen the "Flying Dutchman".
Residents as far away as the Gulf of Mexico and the coast of Florida could faintly feel the horror of the violent storm caused by Hugo.
Having seen enough pirates crying in the Caribbean, Hugo, whose anger was lowered by two levels, entered the Gulf of Mexico again, sweeping seven Mexican states.
Cancun, a Caribbean paradise full of sunshine in the past, has become a gray purgatory. Luxury hotels, water and electricity communication systems have been destroyed, tens of thousands of residents have been homeless, and thousands of foreign tourists have been looted by Hugo except for the fig leaf on their bodies. , female tourists wearing bikinis can only hide in the barracks to take refuge.
Enough with Mexico, Hugo sparked Star Wars in Texas and Louisiana.
Seeing that Hugo was getting more and more noisy, Nanyi stopped pretending and had a showdown. That's right, he is the only Baozhou clan stationed on the earth.
Walking out of the hurricane command room and coming to an open space outside, Nan Yi sat cross-legged, pinched the Guo Jue with his left hand, and shouted "Guo Lai".
In the study room of Scarlet Manor, a lead pot disappeared out of thin air, and appeared above Nan Yi's head with a whoosh.
Nan Yi helped the lead pot, and pointed the black side at himself.
"Mai Lai."
There was another whoosh, and a microphone appeared in Nanyi's left hand.
"Yeah." Nan Yi straightened his voice, raised his head, and sang to the sky: "Listen to me..."
As soon as Nanyi started to sing, there was a heart-piercing roar in the sky: "I, the Baozhou clan, have you, but I have such a vicious move. Just wait and see, I will do it again!" back."
Let go of your thoughts, Nan Yi sensed it, and Hugo had disappeared.
"puff……"
Covering his chest, Nan Yi spit out a mouthful of dirty blood, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Obviously, Nanyi has suffered serious internal injuries.
Regardless of his serious injury, Nanyi tremblingly took out the diary from his pocket, opened a page, picked up a pen and wrote on it: "September 19th, heaven, hurricane, Nanyi of the Baozhou family once again The whole universe moved forward with heavy burdens and fulfilled its obligations. This is my 18922nd time to save the universe, 18922 times, 18922 times, 18922 times, important things are said three times.
Please note: If anyone picks up my diary, please don't reveal the secret that I am from the Baozhou clan, and don't tell anyone that my name is Nanyi, Nanyi, Nanyi, Nanyi..."
...
After Hugo stopped, Nanyi received reports from every farm and ranch in the affected area.
Fortunately, except for two ranches in Louisiana where a dozen cattle disappeared, other farms and pastures only lost a little fur. Tomorrow, the cow dung was swept away by dozens of tons of cow dung. cattle are worth more.
After Nanyi's attention was diverted from the farm and ranch, he called Uedo Masami.
"Yami, have you contacted Jamaica yet?"
"President, not yet, communication in Jamaica has not been restored."
"Notify me immediately if there is any news."
"Hay."
"Adam, I have something to discuss with you."
As soon as Nan Yi hung up the phone, Scarlett walked over to Nan Yi.
"you say."
"Now our book profit is 240 million U.S. dollars. After the market is over, it should reach about 270 million. I plan to donate 10 million to Texas and Louisiana. What's your opinion?"
"Only make so little?" Nan Yi asked in surprise.
"It's not surprising, we're not the only ones who care about the weather." Scarlett said as a matter of course: "There are several funds in Chicago that focus on arbitrage of agricultural product futures, and we entered too late and couldn't get much. chips."
"Oh, donate if you want. It's best to donate a little to Mexico in the name of Scarlett Food Group. First, let's show a little kindness. Maybe Sri Lankan food will enter Mexico sometime."
"OK, who are you going to donate to? The affected farmers?"
"Don't worry about the whereabouts of the money. This is beyond our control. The money is spent to buy a good reputation. Si Liang's name can't be seen on TV stations or newspapers. It's not too late to investigate the whereabouts of the money."
"Okay." Scarlett spread her hands, "Is 2 million enough?"
"Enough, give the other party a little hint when donating, so that the other party does not understand our intentions."
"Heh, don't take others for fools." Scarlett laughed.
"I'm afraid that the other party will take us for a fool. If we don't hint, the other party is completely free to not do it."
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
"I'll leave the rest of the matter to you, and it took another 20 days. I'll fly to Mumbai tomorrow."
In the late night of September 19th, India time, Nan Yi returned to Mumbai.
On the morning of the 20th, Nanyi started working, and the first thing he did was to call Chanda Kochha to Peacock Villa.
"Chanda, did you get 100 million rupees?"
"I got it, 50 million has been deposited into the group's account at the Bank of Mumbai, and the other 50 million has been handed over to Mr. Vikram."
"Okay." Nanyi nodded, picked up a folder from the table and handed it to Kochhar, "Look at this resume, Rakesh Jinjunwala, is a talent in stock investment, study him information and invited him to join the labor group.
In addition, the group needs a well-known lawyer as a legal adviser. It is best to have considerable influence in the Indian judiciary, and at least have influence in Mumbai. Compared with the ability to fight lawsuits, I value personal connections more. "
"BOSS, I know a famous lawyer, Akshay Patella, who has great influence in India's judiciary. If the group wants to hire a legal adviser, he should be very suitable."
"Huh?" Nanyi asked in surprise: "Are you very concerned about the information of the judiciary?"
"No, the reason why I know him is because his son and daughter-in-law are both Bollywood actors. I have seen reports about him in newspapers. He seems to have a certain relationship with the Tata Group."
"That's it." Nan Yi thought for a while and said, "Then you collect his information first, form a resume and give it to me to have a look. After I have read it, I will decide whether to invite him."
"OK."
Nanyi took out another brown leather card holder, spread it out, and put it upside down on the table, "This is a sample. In the name of Dharavi trade, you can inquire about the price in the leather area of the Dharavi slum. , 1,000 copies and 5,000 copies, leather-covered and one-piece, please inquire separately."
Using the lowest order quantity to get the most favorable quotation is a common method of purchasing. As long as the owner of the processing factory does not become a veteran, this method will be very useful.
Kochhar picked up the business card holder and looked at it, then pointed to the two holes on the leather surface and asked, "Boss, do we need to install a metal buckle here?"
"Yes, you don't need to worry about this, the list of metal buckles will be handed over to other processors."
"Boss, in fact, you can also find a processing factory for processing metal buckles in Dharavi. I think the cost there will be relatively low."
"No, no, no." Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "The owner of the business card holder is still unknown, but the metal buckle needs to be engraved with the future owner's name or English abbreviation, so the processing of the metal buckle must find a local processing factory."
"Oh, I see." Kochhar suddenly realized: "Boss, do you have any requirements for the construction period?"
"Let the processing factory include the construction period when quoting. In addition, the good product rate must be 100%. Either a certain percentage of finished products will be delivered to offset the defective products during delivery, or all the finished products will meet the standards. In short, we must get the full amount of the standard. Finished product."
Regarding the deposit, how to structure the Dharavi trade, how to deploy the documentary, QC, and document personnel that will be needed immediately after the order is released, and how the freight forwarder should go, Nanyi didn't mention a word, he just wanted to see Let's see if Kochhar can do things well with one hand.
The business card holder is not an order received from outside at all, but a demand that Nanyi came up with based on the categories that Dharavi can process. On the one hand, it promotes the structure of Dharavi’s trade, and finds and solves problems in practice; on the other hand, it is to try Test the waters and fire the first shot at kidnapping an entire Dharavi slum with an order.
After explaining, Nanyi asked Kochha to leave first, and he himself took out the information on the Dharavi slums to ponder.
Dharavi has the most people engaged in leather processing, and their skills range from high to low. If you want to kidnap all the processing factories, you need a large number of orders covering all categories of high, medium and low grades. If you only rely on orders from outside, then It is necessary to raise a huge team of foreign trade salesmen.
There is no e-commerce platform with relatively low cost, and the only way to receive orders is to make phone calls. Overseas calls plus the cost of visiting customers, unless you can get a few long-term large customers, the cost of developing new customers is too high.
But how can it be so easy to talk about big customers. The categories processed by Dharavi are too complicated, covering almost all aspects of the leather processing industry, and it is impossible to find customers who meet all the needs.
"If I can't find any suitable customers, I will force the leather processing factory in Dharavi to change the production process and produce the leather products I need."
Nan Yi muttered, pulled a piece of paper from the desk, and wrote on it: leather clothes and pants, bag, wallet, key chain, leather case cover.
Start a new line and write a few more words: A boutique that takes a lot of work.
After drawing a circle on the "work-consuming boutique", Pan Disheng's appearance popped up in Nanyi's mind.
