Chapter 799
"No, I don't like potatoes."
Smolenski picked up the chips from his own bowl and put them on Varisi's plate.
Vasily picked up a French fries, dipped them in ketchup, and bit them into his mouth, "I'm the exact opposite of you. I like potatoes very much. My father survived on a bag of sprouted potatoes in Berlin. , me too, at the most difficult time, I only had two potatoes left, and they kept me going for five days."
"I'm lucky. Although life has been difficult, I don't taste much of the taste of starvation."
Vasily spread his hands, "Then you are really lucky. I am unlucky. I didn't end my wandering life until I was almost thirty."
Quickly ate a few more French fries, Vasily picked up a napkin and wiped his fingers, then took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, "200 million rubles will be sent to your capital bank tonight, this sum The money is not lent to you, but to let you exchange something for me."
Smolensky took the paper and unfolded it, looking at it, and suddenly frowned, "Mr. Babanov, according to the above quantity, I not only have no profit, but also have a lot of losses. The quantity of aluminum alone is far away." It exceeds the value of 500 million rubles."
Vasily nodded, "Yes, at first glance, this business is indeed unfair to you, but our Vasily Group never makes things difficult for our partners, you may wish to think again, this business is actually profitable Big."
After thinking about it for a while, Smolensky figured out the trick.
Under the Soviet revisionist planned economy system, the monetary system was split into two halves, one half was cash currency, and the other half was transfer currency issued by the government to factories, mines and enterprises in the form of subsidies, also known as non-cash.
Cash and non-cash cannot be converted into each other. In this way, the Soviet revisionist can restrain the demand for cash and prevent the amount of money from bringing about huge changes in production and prices.
As a result, there is a phenomenon that the cash currency needed by the factory is often insufficient, but the non-cash is abnormally abundant, and naturally, the cash is more valuable than the non-cash.
In the past two years, the value of one cash ruble has been equal to 10 non-cash rubles, but legally, they are equivalent. People with a discerning eye can understand at a glance that anyone who can convert non-cash into cash is like picking up money. .
"Mr. Babanov, I have no way to exchange non-cash rubles."
"Don't worry, I'm going to go trout fishing in the suburbs tomorrow, and I'll introduce someone to you. We'll meet at the gate here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
At the same time, Masami Ueto was strolling leisurely in the national department store called GUM by the locals. Some imported goods did not arouse her interest, and her eyes would only stay on the local products of Soviet revision products, such as nesting dolls.
Coming to a window, Masami Uedo pointed to the chocolate in the window and asked, "Irina, is this chocolate delicious?"
Yelena is Uedo Masami's secretary. She was born in Moscow and spent her childhood in Moscow. In the early 1980s, she went to Berlin with her parents who were transferred as an engineer. Later, her parents were unfortunately involved in the political struggle in East Germany. The victim, Elena, was sent across the Berlin Wall by kind people, went around to live in Milan, and entered the Nanban Office in 1986.
Yelena has not served the Nan family for a long time, and she became Masami Ueto's secretary within four years. It is obvious that her nationality and her childhood living experience in Moscow have given her a lot of points.
Similar to her, but not promoted as fast as her, is Alexei. At this time, Alexei is not far behind Masami Uedo.
"It's very sweet, I liked it very much when I was a child."
"Yeah, let's buy some and have a taste."
Masami Uedo bought two yuan, one for herself and one for Elena, and the others watched.
While eating and shopping, I spent half a day shopping around the huge Gum. When I walked out of the mall with my things, I faced the Red Square. A breeze blew by, and the Shopping Queen label on Masami Ueto’s forehead was blown away. Revealing the masked Iron Maiden label.
"Alexey, take two people to find a suitable office for us."
"yes."
"Elena, let's go back to the hotel."
The next day, on the outskirts of Moscow.
"Night on the outskirts of Moscow" played on the car recorder floated through the open car window and into the ears of the three fishing by the lake.
"Capital Bank, Smolensky; Komsomolskaya, Khodorkovsky." Vasily briefly introduced, his eyes focused on the water.
The Vasily Group has been in Moscow for a long time. Although the Vasily Bank has not been opened, it does not mean that the people of the group have been idle.
The gimmick of 500 tons of gold, and the 200 tons already lying in the vault of the Foreign Trade Bank, are all like flower pistils attracting bees that are in desperate need of nutrients. If a man has a concubine or a concubine, Vasily can easily enjoy himself in Moscow's social arena.
Officially, Vasily is the president of the Vasily Group, who determines the flow of 500 tons of gold; privately, Vasily is a Jew, and it is easy to get close to the extremely active Jewish cooperatives, which are used by the men to export commodities for profit Many of them went out through the channels of the Vasily Group.
Oil, steel, coal, aluminum, and even food, every pore of the Jews hides their business experience.
Smolensky was excited when he saw Khodorkovsky. He knew that in 1987, the Communist Youth League adopted a financial system-under certain conditions, the League organization can mix cash and non-cash, using With this new system, Khodorkovsky has set up various youth tech centers to turn non-cash into cash by hosting various events.
Moreover, Khodorkovsky also pioneered the use of non-cash to exchange characteristic commodities such as logs, and then cooperated with export companies to exchange these logs into U.S. dollars.
The Vasily Group is acting as a part of the export company, and the logs exchanged by Khodorkovsky were initially in the hands of Luban Forestry, and they have been connected with Guo Fuxi's company since last year.
Smolensky is very clear that with the channel of Khodorkovsky, the 200 million rubles given by Vasily can be enlarged to 2 billion non-cash rubles, and all 2 billion non-cash rubles can be used to exchange commodities. After deducting the demand quantity on Vasily's list, there is still a lot of profit left. Although the bulk of the profit will be handed over to Khodorkovsky, there will definitely be a lot of it that belongs to him in the end.
Unintentionally fishing, Smolensky and Khodorkovsky discussed the details of cooperation.
Shanghai, Fang Mansion.
Yan Du is conducting a safety check on a person who claims to be Tong Jue, a researcher from the former MICS Institute of Ergonomics. After confirming that there are no dangerous objects on Tong Jue, he rubs his face to make sure that he is not wearing a fake mask, and then takes out a The camera is aimed at Tong Jue's face.
It wasn't until he received the reply of "No Suspiciousness" that Yan Du returned to his appearance as a butler, and served Tong Jue tea.
The Fang Mansion is not an empress, so there is no need for such strict inspection procedures, but Tong Jue is special, and he will stay in the Fang Mansion for a few days to follow up and study Nan Wuwei's sitting habits.
MICS has made a breakthrough in the research of ergonomics. Albert, the director of the research institute, appointed Tong Jue to come to Shanghai to establish an enterprise "Da Vinci" that produces ergonomic chair accessories. As a result of the research, Nan Yi sent someone to customize a chair for Nan Wuwei.
In the study of Fang's Manor, Nan Yi is looking at the research results of various research institutes under Nan's.
Nanyi is a superstitious person. He is superstitious about high-tech. As long as it is labeled as high-tech and suitable for getting his hands on it, he will vote for it without hesitation. Although there are very few research projects that have paid off in recent years, but When approving the budget, he never relents.
At present, among the high-tech research and development invested by Nan's, only biotechnology has really brought great returns. Not to mention the fake research project of Viagra, but Lipitor [atorvastatin] will soon complete the process, and will soon On the market, relying on this drug, the 20-year patent period is enough to recover all the high-tech investments Nanshi has made so far, and it is more than enough.
The specific drug for hepatitis C, which was transferred from the archives to the third biopharmaceutical research, has produced results, and the specific drug named DAA is being sent to Glorious Peacock in Mumbai for secret clinical testing.
When Nanyi saw the DAA information, he just stood there in deep thought.
After the Third Biopharmaceuticals submitted the report on the successful development of DAA to the EPC, 90% of the EPC members opposed DAA’s application for patent listing, and 80% of them said that they would continue research on the basis of DAA until they developed a drug that could not treat hepatitis C. However, new drugs that can be inhibited will be launched later; the remaining 100% said that DAA is directly hidden, and its listing is not a good thing for the third biopharmaceutical.
For a biopharmaceutical company, a special drug that can completely cure a disease is not a good drug, but a drug that patients cannot live without. This can ensure that a drug will bring benefits to the company for decades. profit, to maximize profit.
After thinking for a while, Nanyi sent an email to Erlanger, asking about the feasibility and time budget for developing a new drug based on DAA.
Nanyi is still evil in his bones. He is not satisfied with the DAA's forecast of US$50 billion in revenue made by the Intelligence Policy Committee. The US$50 billion in revenue is not enough to calculate a profit of US$20 billion.
With Viagra and Lipitor, Third Biopharmaceutical has already mastered the ability of self-hematopoiesis, and there is no need for Nan’s continued investment. As long as Erlanger’s reply to Nanyi is less than three years old, he will hide DAA in the snow and wait for the development of new drugs success message.
Skipping the DAA, and glancing at the report on the hippocampus of memory transplantation, Nanyi quickly pressed PageDown to switch pages. Memory transplantation is a super long-term research project, and he may not be able to produce any results until the day he dies. If he sees the investment He worried that he would vomit blood.
Yan Qingning's membrane protein research has produced results, but it is still unclear how to apply the results. The third biopharmaceuticals' research on the drug's target effect is not deep enough, and it is not yet capable of developing targeted drugs.
The research progress of snake venom is going well. The snake venom protein for beauty has been decomposed, and the finished product will be produced soon; the research on tumor inhibition, anticoagulation, hemostasis, and pain relief will also produce results in the next one to three years.
Erlanger disliked it very much. The beauty research group who had always wanted to kick out the third biopharmaceutical had already done very in-depth research on hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin, which could be transformed into results at any time.
Nanyi made a decision after a little thought. The beauty research team was transferred to Fuji Pharmaceuticals. The technology and patents were controlled by Fuji Pharmaceuticals, but the production was in cooperation with New Miracle Group, and future products were nominally owned by New Miracles. group.
Just as Nan Yi was looking at the materials of Fanshengzhi's first research institute, Nan Ruobing, who was holding a banana in his hand and constantly spitting out seeds, came behind him.
"Father, do you want it?" Nan Ruofing handed a thick banana to Nan Yi.
Nan Yi glanced at Nan Ruofing's hand, pointed to the thinner one, "I want that."
Nan Ruofing laughed and said, "No, there is only one left."
"Then eat slowly, the one in your hand is also the last one on earth."
"It should be the last one now, and there will be another one in a few months." Nan Ruofing put the banana Nanyi pointed to on the table and said, "Dad, can the production be increased this year?"
Nanyi picked up the banana, peeled it off and chewed it, "It's difficult, the island is too small, there is only a little place suitable for planting bananas, and the planting area that can be expanded is very limited, and it is impossible to transplant to other places. , Fusarium will visit.”
"It's a pity, the Big Mac banana tastes much better than the Hua Banana."
"No way, the No. 4 Research Institute has not yet developed a way to resist Fusarium wilt. We are very lucky to find the only surviving Big Mac banana." After biting off the remaining banana, Nan Yi asked again: " Are wild bananas delicious?"
"The taste is similar to that of the Big Mac banana, but it's too troublesome to spit out the seeds, and the pulp is too little." Nan Ruobing said, took another bite of the banana in his hand, and then spit out the seeds one by one.
"Oh, how did you come back today... By the way, you are flying to Mumbai."
"Yes." Nan Ruobing looked at his watch, "Dad, I won't talk to you anymore, there is still an hour, I'm going to pack my luggage."
"Um."
After Nan Ruofing left, Nan Yi continued to read the information.
The first research institute has developed apple-flavored and mango-flavored bananas, and is currently working on watermelon and pear-flavored ones. It is not yet known when they will be successful.
At the end of the data, there is a prediction analysis provided by the researchers of the No. 4 Research Institute. If the asexual reproduction method of bananas is not changed, the current Chinese bananas may also become extinct.
Nanyi is very interested in this prediction. The extinction of Huabanana is not bad news for Shennong Nanliang. The No. 1 Research Institute has been researching wild banana trees. Seeds can make a fortune.
Bananas originated from the island of Papua New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean. The environment and climate of this island are very suitable for the growth of bananas. There are many wild banana trees on the island.
However, there is a difference between wild bananas and bananas that people eat. Just now, Nan Ruofeng was eating wild bananas, which have more seeds and less meat, similar to pomegranates, with dense seeds. The difference is that pomegranates eat only seeds, the more the better, wild bananas What you eat is the pulp, and a thick banana has only a little pulp.
Naturally, no one likes to eat this kind of banana, so although bananas were discovered thousands of years ago, they have not been popularized to other parts of the world.
Until the 19th century, when the French naturalist Nicholas Baoding was traveling in Southeast Asia, he accidentally discovered that some local bananas were somewhat different. Brought it back to the botanical garden and tried to plant it.
So far, humans have embarked on a delicious journey of bananas. This mutated seedless banana is named Big Mac or Rice Seven. After its wonderful taste was discovered by people, it quickly spread around the world.
In order to completely reproduce the seedless mutant gene of Gros Michel banana without affecting the taste and yield, the banana tree is planted using asexual reproduction, which is simply planting from cuttings. Tracing the roots of Gros Michel banana trees all over the world, they all come from The earliest mutated banana tree.
That is, a virus that works for one banana tree will work for banana trees all over the world.
It is this characteristic that caused the Gros Michel to not survive for long.
In the 1950s, a fungus called Fusarium wilt sneaked into banana plantations around the world. After entering the soil, it directly infected the roots and vascular system of banana trees, preventing bananas from drawing water from the soil. And nutrition and complete transportation, in the end, banana farmers can only watch the bananas wither and die.
A few years later, all the grosgrain banana trees around the world were dead, and replaced by the banana variety that was found by British "explorers" in the south of China in the early years, also known as Huajiao.
Speaking of which, Huajiao and Big Mike banana have the same root and origin, but Huajiao is the offspring of sexual reproduction, no one takes care of it, and it resists violent storms in the wild. After two or more mutations, the survival ability [anti-virus ability ] Very strong, but if no one cooks carefully, the natural taste is relatively poor.
Although the survivability of Huajiao is stronger than that of Big Mike Banana, it can be regarded as a brother. The problems of Big Macbanana also exist in Huajiao. It is reasonable that Huajiao is in danger of extinction.
However, Nan Yi remembered that when he crossed over, he had not heard of the banana crisis, so even if this prediction was reliable, it would be a relatively distant thing.
"It seems that it is unlikely to make money by selling seeds or branches. It is more reliable to focus on improving and developing a variety of tastes."
After pressing "PageDown" a few more times, Nanyi looked at the original voyeuristic interest group and found the information on Meerkat Technology.
Meerkat Science and Technology has separated the rich tree project research team and established a new company "Lemon Tree" in Binjiang, Hangzhou. This company will devote itself to the research and development of traffic sensors in the short term. Smart City.
Nanyi's instructions to Hikvision, the president of Lemon Tree, is to try to let a customer use the probe they provided to create a miracle with a single probe revenue exceeding 10 billion.
The highest principle of Lemon Tree is to burn itself, illuminate customers, eat bran and swallow vegetables by itself, and make customers eat delicious and spicy.
"If meerkat technology wants to make a big progress, it must make a breakthrough in lens-related technology, otherwise face recognition and bone analysis will be useless." Nan Yi stroked his chin, thinking secretly, "I have to get in touch with Akio Morita , see what Sony wants in my hand, Sony doesn't seem to be short of money, what is it lacking..."
After pondering for a while, Nanyi sent an email to Nanban, asking him to investigate Sony's financial situation, and to send him a copy of Sony's financial report as soon as possible.
