Chapter 1008 Bloody Money

Chapter 1008 Bloody Money

Representatives of Paramount, 20th Century Fox, other small film and television companies, Sophie Marceau, representative of Liberty Film and Television Capital and investment partner of Pan American Projection, technical representative of Elk Company, and Cameron Cameron attended the party. Long and his technical team.

After investing in "Braveheart", Sophie Marceau's reputation as a "bad guy" spread in the film and television industry. She didn't have to look for investment projects in person in the past two years. She just waited for others to deliver them to her door. She invested in a lot of low-cost productions , There are both profits and losses. Pull the general ledger, it’s okay, there is no loss, and it also outperforms inflation and bank interest.

A movie should not only tell the story in the movie well, but also tell the story behind the scenes.

For example, for some films, all factors have been calculated before the filming starts, and a large investment is attracted, and the box office is guaranteed. A good project that can make money without losing money.

However, when making announcements, these favorable factors must not be mentioned. It is necessary to make up some "inspirational" and "explosive" stories. Some actresses charge sky-high prices and play big names, and some substitute actresses don't ask for prices. Come on, there is no money during filming, the director sells the house and insists on finishing the film, and so on, it must be hype and positive energy.

The same is true for "Titanic". The behind-the-scenes story also needs to be prepared. Cameron has neither integrity nor restraint in the budget. This is the consensus of all investors, and this can be well utilized.

On the eve of the film's release, 20th Century Fox and Paramount will successively report rumors that Cameron was tricked by Cameron and determined to go bankrupt in order to film "Titanic", which can be regarded as a warm-up for the film's promotion.

It is true that "Titanic" is a big gamble, and Cameron is even more gambled. The initial budget and the part that Cameron will definitely exceed, a bad one may really bring down a company, so, in the preparation Sometimes, it is necessary to find more investment for risk sharing.

Sophie Marceau did not do everything possible to squeeze into the "Titanic" project, but was invited to be an investor. The share is not much, only a mere five million US dollars, and there is another three million US dollars in over-budget investment share.

On the contrary, the Elk company in San Francisco, which has nothing to do with film and television, managed to squeeze in by itself. Its investment is more than that of Liberty Film and Television Capital, as high as 10 million US dollars, but its funds are mainly invested in Research and development and iteration of shooting technology.

After making a breakthrough in video decoding technology, Milu has taken "video" as a major technical research direction. At present, Milu is already a quasi-unicorn enterprise in the video field, holding many patents and unique algorithms in its hands.

For Elk, what attracted it to the "Titanic" project was the technology and research and development capabilities in the hands of the behind-the-scenes production team.

In the short term, the elk will step into the field of film and television special effects, and dig some food in the field of green screen cutouts. In the long run, it will contribute to Nanyi's dream of "bringing science fiction into reality".

Nanyi is both realistic and dreamy. He firmly believes that the gap between the rich and the poor in the world cannot be completely eliminated, but with the advancement of technology, the contradiction between the rich and the poor can be effectively alleviated. One day, the confrontation between the rich and the poor will never cease. And nothing, enter the stage of emptiness and reality.

Rich people own real yachts, sports cars, aircraft, and real beauties in their arms. Poor people can also own things that rich people have, but they are virtual and created with technology, such as the Periplaneta americana energy block of the Weird Research Institute. , through the unnamed technology "transformation" into the food that the eater wants, what you see is food, and the impact on the taste buds is also food.

Of course, the eater may have never tasted the real version of this delicacy, and that's okay, the taste will be as he imagined.

3D movies, 3D games, cloud universe, etc. will become the station and gas station of Nanyi's science fiction dream. Advanced stage on demand.

"Bad girl, peeing all over grandma."

When Nan Yi was on the phone, Fang Mengyin, who hadn't left the house yet, came over to kiss her great-granddaughter. Who knew that Nan Ruoqi booed her for a while.

Perhaps it was because Fang Mengyin's tone didn't seem to be blaming, Nan Ruoqi was not frightened, but giggled instead.

After making the phone call, Nanyi walked up to Fang Mengyin with a teasing expression on his face, "It's a pity, it's a pity, this is Ruoqi's boy's urine today, it should be saved for grandma to eat with boiled eggs."

"Little Chi, just laugh at your grandma and take your precious daughter." Fang Mengyin blamed and handed Nan Ruoqi to Nanyi, then turned and walked into the house by herself.

"hehe."

Nan Yi played with Nan Ruoqi for a while, and then took her to the Lavender Paradise in New Territories.

What Nanyi and Zhao Shixian said at the beginning has become a reality. The 100 mu of land in the Fansheng Institute of Poultry has been planted with lavender. It is the season of lavender blooming. Nanyi rode a bicycle and took Nan Ruoqi to shuttle between the lavender Smelling and singing the fragrance of flowers, I would stop and look up from time to time to point to the freshwater and seawater fish in the fishway.

The lavender in the whole Lavender Paradise is arranged in a north-south direction, and an east-west fishway is hung in the air (the fish are kept in a transparent pipe). You can see the flowers when you look down, and you can see the fish swimming in the air when you look up. It is divided into left and right semicircles, with freshwater fish on the left and seawater fish on the right. They are all colorful and very beautiful fish.

"That one is a striped butterflyfish, that one is a dwarf loofah fish, and the one next to it is a spotted cardinal... Discus fish, squid, hey, who put such an ugly horseshoe crab in there." Nan Yi was surprised. After a while, he continued to say to Nan Ruoqi: "The horseshoe crab is not only ugly, but also smells bad and smelly. Its blood is blue. It is a very good thing. Dad can sell it for Ruoqi to buy a lot of toys. "

Following Nanyi's nagging, Nan Ruoqi's eyes widened, her gaze followed the fish swimming in the fishway, and she stretched her little hands restlessly.

After looking at the fish for a while, Nan Yi worried about Nan Ruoqi's neck, and took it to a small poultry garden preserved in the paradise—divided into two parts, with sculptures on one side, each species that had been in the poultry research institute There are all of them, and there are live animals on one side. Colorful and beautiful species such as golden pheasant, long-tailed hen, and guinea fowl are still bred here.

Whether it is rattles or lavender gardens, they are all colorful. These are the props that Nan Yi prepared for Nan Ruoqi to let her know the colors of the world. It is definitely better to use real objects than to use picture books.

In the poultry garden, Nanyi will still introduce the names of each bird to Nan Ruoqi. Although he knows that Nan Ruoqi can't understand, and it is unlikely that she will leave memories in her developing hippocampus, but beautiful, The wonderful feeling will be engraved deep in her brain, and when she grows up, it will be reflected in her behavior one by one.

After staying in Lavender Paradise for nearly two hours, Nan Yi took Nan Ruoqi to the Adler Clinic.

The Adler Clinic is located on Pok Fu Lam Road, not far from Queen Mary Hospital. Since the hospital does not have an agglomeration effect, patients will not come to the Adler Clinic next door just because the Queen Mary Hospital is “full”. Therefore, the clinic does not have many patients now. Come to Mobai.

However, the clinic doesn't seem to require ordinary patients to come in by themselves. The Adler Clinic is positioned as a noble hospital, and the charges are absolutely expensive, and it is determined not to do business below 1,000 US dollars. Any patient who wants to come in to see a headache If you want to charge thousands of dollars, you don't want to kill people, but you politely refuse. The subtext is that our place is very expensive, and you can go to another place for minor illnesses and pains.

Adler Clinic is a non-profit hospital. No matter how profitable the clinic is, Nan’s cannot take away the profit. The money can only be kept in the hospital for improving the quality of medical services and medical research, such as building hospitals and giving staff Salary, buying medical equipment, conducting medical research, etc.

The most Nan's can do is to put certain medical research projects under the name of the Adler Clinic to take advantage of the research funding, and then transfer the project data when the results are about to come out.

All in all, the general goal of the Adler Clinic is to improve medical technology to solve the diseases that may occur in the Nan family and the Nan family. In fact, it does not have much pursuit of profit. The reason why it does not want to receive ordinary patients is simply to focus on Power to tackle intractable diseases.

Nanyi and the two came to the lobby of the Adler clinic, where the director, Cheng Yuanhua, was already waiting with his assistant.

"Nan Sheng."

Nanyi nodded at Cheng Yuanhua, and handed Nan Ruoqi to Tianxian. Seeing this, Cheng Yuanhua immediately asked his assistant to take Tianxian to the pediatric department, and then led Nanyi to his office.

After pouring Nanyi a glass of water, Cheng Yuanhua talked about work.

"Nansheng, the clinic has sent several doctors to Guangdong Gaoguanle People's Hospital for exchange and study. They are experts in ophthalmology, brain, endocrinology, and surgery."

"Very good, very targeted. Many elderly people in rural areas in the mainland have cataracts, glaucoma, and there are also many patients with...stroke and diabetes. It should help a group of people and gain valuable experience." Nan Nan As Yi said, he asked again: "How much funding did you give?"

"Changle is a small place, only 500,000 yuan has been given, and there are medical equipment worth 500,000 yuan. Medicines are more troublesome, so I don't bring too much."

"Well," Nan Yi thought for a while, and said, "The money must be spent on real things, and the benefits must fall on the patients. In order to ensure this, we don't have to give up the reputation. Whoever wants it can give it directly, and sometimes we can change it." Be proactive."

Cheng Yuanhua nodded, and continued: "The HIV team composed of five medical staff has rushed to Runing, Central Plains, and conducted sampling inspections on blood sellers at a blood collection point. A total of 31 people were inspected, including 3 were positive."

Before the spread of HIV, the albumin used in domestic hospitals was basically imported from abroad. When HIV spread, in order to prevent the spread of HIV, the import of blood products such as plasma, human serum albumin, and globulin was strictly controlled.

Albumin is widely used clinically in the treatment of shock, burns, surgery, cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy, blood volume loss caused by too much blood loss during childbirth, as well as the treatment of chronic nephritis, hepatitis, diabetes and other diseases. There is a great demand. Therefore, before the import control, the country introduced foreign capital, technology and equipment on a large scale to build blood product production enterprises.

With the establishment of enterprises, raw materials are naturally needed to start production. Therefore, blood banks in some places have ushered in the spring of market economy. In addition to the plasma needed by hospitals, they will also vigorously purchase plasma, collect and sell it, and earn a difference in the middle.

Although voluntary blood donation was advocated in 1978, paid blood donation is still the main source of blood plasma needed by hospitals today. One buys the other and sells the other. It is not a big problem to treat it as a commodity.

Originally, the blood bank is the place where plasma is collected. Whether the collected plasma is directly injected into the body of patients in need or refined, there is no problem. Professional counterparts, the difference in price is what they deserve.

It's a pity that some people are jealous of this business. Some hospitals skipped the blood bank and posted an advertisement "Blood donation is glorious, saving lives and healing the wounded" on the advertisement column at the gate, and started the business of collecting blood plasma.

Hospitals do this, and their professions and functions are also considered counterparts. We can only say who does it or not.

Originally, only blood banks and hospitals were allowed to do this. After all, they are all professionals. However, at the end of last year, the export of blood products was liberalized. Now biopharmaceutical companies have a larger market, and the demand for raw materials is natural. Also bigger.

In some places in the Central Plains, not only medical-related units have engaged in blood collection and plasma collection, but even unrelated ones have flocked into this market. Before, some small vendors selling needles, needles, threads and brains in the streets and alleys saw it, "In this business, you can Dry."

Think about it, these people usually sell things directly to customers' doorsteps, and they have a strong sense of service. Although they have to switch to a new business now, they must not lose their sense of service. This is the corporate culture of the trust.

As a result, a group of small traders turned into bloodheads, went straight into the mountain village, borrowed a desk and bench from the village primary school, set it up in the grain drying field, and the stall was set up.

It was okay at the beginning, the whole blood collection method was used, that is, the needle was inserted into the vein, and the blood flowed into the blood collection device. After all, it was a high-end and professional business, and the blood head still knew that he should find a barefoot doctor for help. Or, you can also learn from the classics, and you still know the basics of putting the needle in boiling water for a while.

Even if this basic step is omitted and the needles are cross-used, there is still a probability problem after all, and the probability of contracting something wrong is relatively optimistic.

Later, a purchaser of a biopharmaceutical company found that most of the raw materials of his company came from Runing. He listened to the boss's words "we should treat the company as a family", so he reported the matter. After discussion, a new strategy was formulated—in order to reduce logistics costs and reduce intermediate links, let middlemen make less difference, and go directly to the source to establish a single mining station.

Apheresis is a bit complicated to explain in a more scientific way, but it is relatively simple to explain in popular terms. Its basic principle is like this. 800 ml of "whole blood" is drawn from the body of the blood seller, which is full of two bags. , and then put it in a centrifuge for a spin, and then after purification and separation, the upper half is kept, and the lower half (red blood cells) is returned to the blood seller, and at the same time, blood selling money ranging from 30 to 50 is obtained.

That is to say, apheresis has a process of withdrawing and reinfusing.

After the simple explanation, explain the working principle of the centrifuge in a semi-professional way.

The centrifuge commonly used in the apheresis station is divided into 12 small pots, and two bags of blood are placed in each small pot. The centrifuge rotates very fast, and the blood bag is often broken, and the core of the centrifuge will be contaminated by blood. , and the blood collection station will only throw away the severely damaged blood bags, and replace the less serious blood bags and then throw them away.

During this process, the blood collection needle is always stuck in the vein of the blood seller. Because of irregular operations, the red blood cells transfused back to the blood seller may not only be their own, but there may be other people's red blood cells.

When this happens, the blood seller can start yelling: "Who, who, your blood is mixed with mine, do you have foot odor, won't it infect me?"

Foot odor is just a joke, but HIV is not a joke. Blood transmission is one of the transmission routes of HIV.

"Is there a foreigner in the group?"

"have."

"It's not something too glorious. It's not good to be exposed by foreigners. Write a letter to the local health department to explain the situation, and then withdraw the person. After the matter is made public, send someone there."

As Nanyi said, he called Nanguo Bank in front of Cheng Yuanhua, and transferred 10 million Hong Kong dollars from his personal account to the account of Adler Clinic (Xiangcheng).

"At that time, donate anonymously, don't reveal my name, 2 million of which will be used to purchase related medical supplies, and the remaining 8 million will be used to purchase living supplies, mainly for children, snacks, toys, clothes, stationery, and arrears Tuition and miscellaneous fees, as comprehensive as possible.

You can also buy some cigarettes and liquor for adults. Compared with medicines, infected adults need mental relaxation more. Alas, with only a few dozen yuan at a time, two generations of people will be ruined for a lifetime. "

Nanyi felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't think of this at all. He didn't propose to send the HIV team. It was the Light of Life under the medical team who discovered the situation and reported it to the medical team. Adler Clinic Spontaneously go to the field to check.

"Okay." Cheng Yuanhua nodded again, "There is another team that went to the west for medical assistance, mainly in water-scarce areas. This team has a lot of funds. The village of the well donates the cost of fetching water.

Many diseases in water-scarce areas are caused by insufficient water supplementation or drinking unsanitary water. To improve the health of local residents, we must start from the water source. "

"Very good, we can connect with Dream Town. Dream Town will be responsible for the well drilling expenses. Adler Clinic's payment of this fee is not justified, and the New York headquarters may be a little troublesome."

Adler Clinic is registered in the United States and is also an IRS-certified non-profit hospital. The reason why IRS certification is required is naturally related to taxation.

According to the U.S. "Revenue Code", non-profit hospitals are eligible for income tax exemption and can issue tax-exempt bonds. part tax.

Except for the first start-up fund of Adler Clinic, which was allocated by Nanshi, the subsequent funds came from donations from Nanshi’s American companies. That is, while Adler Clinic received funds, it also saved part of tax expenses for Nanshi.

Of course, the U.S. does not spread its benefits to the whole world generously. The funds of Adler Clinic want to be transferred from the New York headquarters to branches outside the U.S., which requires very complicated operations, in order to facilitate the operation of the branch in the future. , the financial spin-off is already on the schedule.

Non-profit hospitals are the general direction of medical development in the whole world. Like Japan, almost all of them are private hospitals, but at the same time they are non-profit hospitals. It is almost impossible for profit-oriented medical related institutions to obtain permission to establish in Japan; like Germany, there are already four There are about 100% non-profit private hospitals, and the number of public hospitals is decreasing every year.

Nan Yi and Cheng Yunhua chatted a few more words, and Tianxian came back with Nan Ruoqi in his arms. After learning that all indicators of Nan Ruoqi's body were normal, Nan Yi said goodbye to Cheng Yuanhua, and carried Nan Ruoqi back to Fang's Manor.

In the afternoon, after taking a nap, Nanyi made himself a cup of tea, then glanced at the lower right corner of the computer, saw a new email notification, drank half a cup of tea leisurely, and then opened the mailbox system.

The first email came from Xi Changhe of the Yecheng branch of Nanguo Bank. The general content of the email was that Qiong Province wanted to establish a Qiongfa Bank. The society absorbs it.

This step is a bit fatal. When Qiongdao real estate was hot, the credit unions on the island released a lot of loans, and they also directly participated in it. Nanyi knew that five credit unions had many problems and poor management. Not only a large amount of funds are accumulated in real estate, but also many bad debts, roughly estimated to be two to three billion.

The reason why Nanyi knew so clearly was that in 1992, many credit unions in Yecheng were raising funds. At that time, they had the opportunity to step into the field of credit unions with one foot. They had collected information on Qiongdao credit unions, and , Nanhai Development Group is the major shareholder of a credit union in Yecheng, and Nanyi heard Hu Guanghua talk about many inside stories about the credit union.

Xi Changhe sent an email saying Qiongfa Bank, not only because of popularizing information, but Duan Wenxuan extended an olive branch to Nanguo Bank on behalf of Qiongxing, and wanted to invite Nanguo Bank to become a shareholder of Qiongfa Bank.

Thinking about it with the back of his head, Nanyi can also understand that the original intention of Qiongfa Bank was to solve the bad debts left over from 1993 and the unfinished buildings and idle land on the island.

Nanyi switched out of the mail system, called out another information system, searched the information, and quickly called up the information of Qiong Province: Qiongdao has more than 600 unfinished buildings, more than 16 million square meters, 18,834 hectares of idle land, and a backlog of The capital is 80 billion yuan, and the bad debts of the four major banks alone are as high as 30 billion yuan. Two securities companies in Qiong Province directly invested in real estate with heavy losses.

This is just state assets, and there are still a lot of bad debts on the private side, not to mention triangular debts, there are debts of fifty cents, you owe me, I owe him, he owes him, he owes him Yours, going around, either around the bank, or around people who have disappeared, in short, it's not clear at all.

The next few years will be a period of low tide for real estate. It is almost impossible to revitalize the unfinished buildings in Qiongdao, unless the island is allowed to operate the special business of Aomen, which is of course a fantasy.

After the real estate bubble in Qiongdao, Rachel's non-performing asset management company has eaten up the high-quality unfinished buildings in the private hands of Yecheng, some of which have been transferred to Dream Town, and some of them are held in their own hands. It is bought according to the price of 20% or 30% after removing the bubble. The purchase price of a house worth 40 to 50 million in the peak period only needs to range from hundreds of thousands to one or two million.

Lai told Nanyi the post-modern stories of those real estate tycoons on the island. Like the monsters in Journey to the West, some people covered their buttocks and walked away in a slightly desolate way. He quickly ran abroad, some of them were penniless and had nowhere to go. Lai received a few tycoons who had a little relationship with each other before, and they only asked for a bowl of fried rice noodles and a pack of cigarettes.

Only three or two months ago, these tycoons were still driving tigers, holding big mobile phones, accompanied by seductive women, haunting wine pools and meat forests every day, saying that they were catching up with the Premier League, punching Buffett, and kicking Tim Yiming.

After reading the information, he continued to read the email. At the end, Xi Changhe attached his own opinion: he is not optimistic about the future development of Qiongfa Bank, and he does not recommend buying shares.

Nanyi replied to the email, agreeing with Xi Changhe's point of view.

According to the normal process, although Xi Changhe, the party concerned, does not agree with a certain project, it must be reported to the intelligence policy committee for review and evaluation, and then feedback the results. Under normal circumstances, the party's opinion will continue to be maintained.

Because the rejection of the project will not involve immediate losses, the review and evaluation is relatively loose. If it is to start or join the project, the review will be extremely strict, after all, it involves a large amount of capital investment.

After replying to the email, Nanyi called Lai. The opposite side was a bit noisy, and the noise of slogans could be heard.

"Where is it?"

"Watching tuxedo hats and fire phoenixes train at the gym."

The project system of Dream Town includes a coconut tree sanatorium. In the future, high-quality customers from all over the world will be recuperated in Yecheng.

The swallowtail hat is the nurse hat, which is the nurse team of the coconut tree nursing home. They will be responsible for the medical care of the nursing home in the future; the fire phoenix is ​​the waiter. and business.

"How are the girls doing?" Nan Yi asked with a smile.

"The instructor team fully understands your spirit, big brother, practice for the battle and not for the sake of it, work hard, and put forward the slogan accurate to the millimeter."

As Lai spoke, he looked down at Huo Fenghuang who was training below, and saw the girls in the front row quickly skimming over the table with the self-developed "swimming cup card line", and the girls in the back row quickly followed, Set out teacups and notebooks, and when they are ready, the instructor will take an infrared distance measuring pen and a spirit level for inspection, and scold anyone who fails.

The girl who was scolded was aggrieved, but she still had to endure it. During the training period, she was paid 2,500 yuan a month, and when the training was over and officially started to work, the salary would start from 3,000 yuan, and there were still a lot of benefits waiting for her. , Finally squeezed in through layers of screening, it's nothing to suffer such a little grievance.

Not far from the fire phoenix camp is the training team of swallowtail hats. I saw the girls in groups of two. One of them was used as a prop, with a bunch of raisins stuck on his calf to act as a skin disease site, and the other was switching various tools to simulate treatment process.

Next to them, there are three groups of girls who are practicing acupuncture. They are the most steady hands in the whole swallowtail hat team. Acupuncture will be their major direction, and they need to practice to the point where no matter where the vein is, the needle is sure to hit.

"Is there a pretty girl?"

"Boss, they are all carefully selected, and each one is beautiful."

"Don't be silly."

"Boss, who do you think I am? I will continue your requirements when you were there. It is strictly forbidden to mess with men and women internally. If you are in love at the grassroots level, you must leave one, and both the middle and high-level ones will leave."

"Very well. Office romances will bring bad atmosphere, affect work efficiency, and cause leaks. If there is an extreme case, where one party cheats on a colleague and the other party kills him, then Dream Town will be lively. If The object of cheating is the immediate boss, and the matter is even bigger. It is not impossible for Dream Town to go bankrupt.

The office is the place to work, and the emotions of the employees keep them out of the office. Office romances are absolutely forbidden, even if some people say that Dream Town is inhumane. "

"clear."

"Let's get down to business, let's screen again to see which unfinished buildings in Yecheng can be eaten, two or three."

"No more, everything worth eating has been eaten."

...

[When I wrote about red blood cells, it just popped up in my head, I didn’t want to delete it, I saved it for everyone to see: He Chenguang may not be the only red blood cells transfused to blood sellers, there may also be Wang Yanbing and Fan Tianlei. ]
