Chapter 1256 It’s not onions, it’s politics

Nanzehang still listened to Nanyi. He took a nap until about three o'clock, changed his equipment and went to Dongdan North Field.

Dongdan is the holy land of street ball in the eyes of wild ball kids. There are usually many high-level wild players playing here, and they usually play on the court next to the public toilet.

Nan Zehang bought a ticket to enter the stadium, went straight to the top half, stopped at the edge of the stadium, put on a Bluetooth headset, and began to enjoy the confrontational bullfight with many small moves.

While admiring it, he weighed whether he was qualified enough to play in the wild. The results came out quickly. He was definitely not qualified. He would either be taken care of humbly or knocked to the ground. No matter how good his physical fitness was, it was useless. His age and weight were What's on display here, how can it be compared with the best among adults.

Nan Zehang actually likes to play basketball, but he rarely goes to outside courts to play in China. He usually goes to the gymnasium to reserve half of the court to practice by himself.

No problem, he started at a high level. As soon as he started playing ball, he was taken to Rucker Park by Nanyi. Most of the people he played with were young guys who considered entering the NBA as the best way out in life, and they were all four or five years older than him. .

He was mixed up with the best of his age, and he was not happy to play with the little emperor who had six backers and could cause family feuds if he scratched his skin. If you want to challenge across age groups, it’s not that good. Who can fight would be willing to take a little kid to play with him.

Neither up nor down, he can only play by himself.

After watching the game for a while and listening to a lot of swear words that the Bluetooth headset couldn't prevent, Nan Zehang saw a woman coming to the health center next door, and he hurriedly walked over.

It's good to be a girl, he probably has a ball to play.

As long as women are more outgoing and generous, they can usually get the ball and hit it. Men should always be a bit gentlemanly, but playing with women is more boring. The opponent dare not guard too hard, let alone have too much. In terms of physical contact, no matter how good he is, he is still embarrassed to force himself on women. He can only be a passing machine on the court.

Today, this girl is not bad looking. As soon as Nan Zehang walked to the edge of the half court, she had already formed a team with two other men. Seeing this, Nan Zehang quickly put down his bag and took out a basketball from it to show off. He did a lot of tricks - high dribbling, low dribbling, crotch dribbling, dribbling turns, etc. In the meantime, he didn't forget to lift up his vest and show off his eight-pack abs.

Nan Zehang waited until everyone on the edge of halftime saw his show, then he walked to the two young men in yellow and white jerseys who probably hadn't formed a team yet, "Brother, take me with you, I'll be responsible for fucking that girl." .”

The two young men were stunned for a while after hearing this, and Huang Qiyi said: "I can bring you one, but please tell me, we are waiting for our friend, and we won't take you to play when he comes."

"OK."

There is no need to introduce yourself when forming a temporary team for playing field ball. You will naturally become familiar with each other.

While Nan Zehang was warming up, he looked at the female golfer he was going to play against, wondering whether the opponent could withstand his impact.

If you want to enter the highest level of basketball, your physical fitness is the most important, and your skills must be put aside. All the young guys with goals are strong and strong. When he first arrived at Rucker Park, Nan Zehang could be hit by a ball. After flying five or six times, I strengthened my physical training and boat boxing practice and became better. I was able to withstand the impact. After a while, I was able to use my body to bully the weaker Xiao Hei.

Dongdan is a sacred place. Even if you play health ball, your strength is not too bad. If you play five balls and the rhythm is faster, you can defeat a team in three or four minutes. There are five teams in total, and the two new teams are here. It was a new round, but within about ten minutes, the female player's team took the field.

Not to mention, the female golfer plays pretty well, dribbling, layups, and shooting. However, due to her gender, the young man she plays against is just a symbolic defense, like a sieve, allowing the female golfer to run rampant. ; When it was his turn to attack, he held back. Even if there was a chance to break out, he chose to distribute the ball.

Just like that, a strong team was beaten 5 to 2, and it was Nan Zehang's turn.

Streetball has a very obvious characteristic or cultural symbol, that is, it is full of trash talk. As soon as Minami Zehang entered the court, he immediately entered the state of a streetball player.

"Hey, female monkey, stay away from me later, and don't lay up in front of me, I will knock you away."

The female golfer was delighted when she heard this, "You are such a little brat, you are so crazy. My sister will teach you how to behave later."

Nan Zehang pulled on his elbow pads and said disdainfully: "Tighten your belt, don't let me pull it down."

Without waiting for the female golfer to reply, the white jersey who was responsible for serving passed the ball to the yellow jersey, and then the yellow jersey took care of it and passed the ball to Nan Zehang, probably because he was afraid that Nan Zehang would not be strong enough and the pass would still hit the ball.

Nan Zehang received the ball, held the ball above his head with his left hand, and hooked his fingers with his right hand.

The female golfer was provoked and reached forward with her right hand to steal the ball away. Unexpectedly, before she touched the ball, Nan Zehang turned her wrist and brought the ball to the height of her thigh. Then she pushed the ball out and bowed her waist. , dribbling the ball from a low position, he saw the basketball switching between his two hands, and constantly passing through his hips.

The body swayed left and right, and the center of gravity kept shifting. The female golfer followed his shaking and kept adjusting her position step by step. When she adjusted her position too far to the right, Nan Zehang moved without any fancy moves. , surpassed the female golfer by sheer speed, and then used the European step to pass the male golfer in the penalty area who was symbolically defending, and easily sent the ball into the basket.

Then, facing the female golfer, he took off his hat and saluted, then raised his index finger and shook it.

Being provoked again, the female golfer's lungs almost exploded with anger, and she said harshly: "Little brat, I'll see you later."

As soon as an expert takes action, he will know if there is one. When the other four golfers saw the work Nanzehang did, they knew that this little brat knew how to play. Looking at the face of the female golfer, they gave the two of them a very tacit understanding. Singles opportunity.

The ball was passed into the hands of the female player without any surprise, and the other four people pulled to the other side of the half court, leaving most of the area free for Nan Zehang and the two.

"Female monkey, come on, use your embroidery to get past me." Nan Zehang leaned towards the female golfer and kept talking trash, "Don't be a coward, come on, teach me how to be a human being."

The female golfer became furious, slapping the ball in her hand and spitting fire at Nan Zehang with her eyes.

"This is getting angry. You shouldn't come to play ball. It's better to embroider cross stitch at home. A female monkey is a female monkey. What are you doing here on the court?"

Basketball is barbaric. There is no so-called gentleman's basketball. Trash talk and petty tricks are the magic weapons that cannot be displayed on the court. They are a kind of psychological tactics. If you cannot pass this level, you will not be able to play professional basketball at all.

Xiaohei's nature is like this, and with conscious training, he can turn trash talk into rap at the age of ten. Nan Zehang was devastated by trash talk. From being unable to resist to being evenly matched, he became a proficient trash talker.

After two and a half words of rubbish, the female player's mind became confused, her hands became confused, and the basketball became disobedient.

When the dribbling speed slowed down and the trajectory was captured, Nan Zehang moved forward and the ball was in his hands. A smile spread across his face and he joked: "I'm 138, Female monkey, you are 167, you are 30 centimeters taller than me, but I am going to fuck you in front of you, be careful, I am coming."

Before he finished speaking, Minami Zehang took the ball and rushed towards the female golfer. Just when he was about to collide with her, he stopped suddenly, held the ball up with his hands, and made a move with his whole body to jump up.

When the female golfer saw this, she jumped up subconsciously.

As soon as she jumped up, she saw Nan Zehang stuck to the floor, and the fox-like smile on his face. Her ability to stay in the air was average, and before she could get angry, she had already reached the highest point and then fell.

When the female player was halfway down, Nan Zehang jumped up on the spot. When he reached the highest point, he flicked his left hand and the basketball flew toward the basket in a beautiful high parabola.

Uh-huh!

A very clear sound of hollow net entry sounded.

"What a beautiful shot."

"This kid is extraordinary. The parabola is really high. Is it to prevent tall people from blocking shots?"

"Jordan-style shooting, this kid is awesome, really awesome. His dribbling is no worse than ISO Zhao Qiang, and his shooting is accurate. Hey, he looks like he is only seven or eight years old. With this head, do you think this kid has a chance to become Sun Yue?"

While the other four people were discussing, Nan Zehang picked up the ball from the basket and walked to the female golfer, with an innocent smile on his face, "Pretty lady, don't be angry, trash talk is just part of my game. This tactic works very well for you, doesn’t it?”

When the female golfer heard this, the anger accumulated in her belly was swept away, "Little brother, call me again."

"Hehe, pretty lady, do you have a boyfriend?"

"You want to pick me up?"

"Yes, little sister, you are so beautiful, any man would pick up on you."

"Hahaha, my sister already has a boyfriend." The female golfer walked up to Nan Zehang and touched his head, "My little brother is so cute. My sister likes you. When I break up, can I let you know?" "

Nan Zehang said shyly: "Sister, actually I don't mind if you have two boyfriends."

"Hahaha……"

Yan Rou, who had been paying attention to Nan Zehang at halftime, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Sure enough, he is your grandson, he has been lustful since he was a child."

After Yan Shu retired, Yan Rou returned to the old house from Fan Hongdou and was mainly responsible for the safety of Nan Zehang.

…

Bangalore.

After lunch, KiKi went back to the hotel first. Nanyi was not in a hurry to leave. He sat in his seat and studied the weather forecast report for a while, and then began to check the planting status of Shennong Nanliang in the countries surrounding India.

For Indians, onions are not just an essential vegetable every day. In fact, they are also involved in politics.

In 1980, during the election period, onion prices skyrocketed. The People's Party in power failed to control prices, and people complained. Indira Gandhi, leader of the opposition Congress Party, seized the opportunity to launch a political offensive.

When she ran for the election, she did not wear jewelery. Instead, she made a necklace of onions strung together and hung it around her neck. This made voters think of her own personal interests being damaged at a glance, and she shouted the slogan: "Onion prices cannot be controlled." The government has no right to control power" and finally succeeded in the election.

In October 1998, the price of onions rose to 42 rupees per kilogram, triggering large-scale street protests and looting, and directly led to the collapse of the BJP in the subsequent local assembly elections in New Delhi and Rajasthan.

In October 2005, the price of onions soared from 15 rupees per kilogram to 30-35 rupees, triggering another crisis with an unprecedented scope of impact.

On the 22nd, the "Hindustan Times" used the title "Tears brought by onions" to criticize the government for not paying attention to the national economy and people's livelihood. "Asian Century" also published the title "Onion prices rise, India sheds tears" on its front page, calling on the government to take measures to address the current situation as soon as possible to stabilize prices.

On the 23rd, the New Delhi Municipal Government announced that it would require all government vegetable shops to sell onions at a fixed price of 11.25 rupees per kilogram in the form of subsidies, and at the same time, it would resolutely investigate and crack down on black market transactions. But in the government vegetable shops that abide by the fixed prices, the quality of the onions is terrible and there are very few customers.

At the private vegetable stall across the road, the price of onions is still 30 rupees per kilogram. Since then, some people have been stealing onions in the market.

On the 25th, a demonstration broke out in New Delhi. Angry people hung onions around their necks and on their heads, shouting slogans to express their strong dissatisfaction. Opposition parties have also threatened violent action if prices cannot be curbed in the coming days.

Subsequently, the Indian government announced that it would immediately import 2,000 tons and 650 tons of onions from China and Pakistan respectively to meet its urgent needs. This was also the first time in India's history that it imported onions from abroad.

In October 2010, the onion crisis broke out again. In November, the government announced a ban on onion exports, and at the end of December it upgraded the ban, extending it from the previous one month to indefinitely.

However, it was still unable to stop the people's demonstrations and protests. The opposition party called on the people to launch an "onion revolution" to vote to overthrow Singh's Congress Alliance government, and launched a demonstration of 20,000 people, causing some areas of New Delhi to be paralyzed.

During the onion price hike in 2013, the retail price of onions in some places increased from 20 rupees per kilogram to 100 rupees per kilogram. Someone filed a public interest litigation with the Supreme Court, asking the government to regulate the prices of onions and other vegetables. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed by the Supreme Court, and the judge gave Buddhist advice: "If you don't eat onions for two months, the price will naturally come down."

A small onion can influence the rise or fall of the Prime Minister of India, because the onion crisis will affect the food security of India's poor people and the vital interests of farmers, and these people stand behind their votes.

Take Maharashtra as an example. Mumbai, the capital here, is undoubtedly the financial center of India and the city with the most developed commercial activities. However, agriculture still occupies a major position, with 65% of the entire state's population engaged in agriculture. Labor, that is, 65% of the votes, if something goes wrong, the current government team will have to take responsibility.

This year is another election year. Although voting has just begun, everyone knows that the advantage lies with Modi and re-election is basically not a problem.

Nan should give him a gift.

After checking the planting information, Nan Yi contacted Self Defense and learned that Nan Youqiong was in Hong Kong Island, so he called him.

"onion."

"Moody?"

"Um."

"I already have a plan. When Shennong Nanliang eats up the market, I will fly to New Delhi and cheap onions will be prepared in advance."

"Very good, I'm just worrying about it."

"No, I really need you to worry about, Old Adam."

Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "I will go to Varanasi in a few days."

"Mr. Tiwedi's health condition is not very good. I asked Nanpo Tang to send someone to meet you in Varanasi."

"Well, what are you doing at Xiangyuan?"

"See my daughter, visit my great-grandmother."

"uh-huh."

After ending the call with Nan Youqiong, Nan Yi counted the time and headed to Hanusha.

Not to mention, there are quite a few people in the Entrepreneur Club. There are more than thirty people, all of whom are young entrepreneurs in their early years. After Zhang Dewen’s introduction, Nanyi got to know a lot of people, some of whom are engaged in cross-border e-commerce. , some are doing cash loans, some are making games or other apps, some are opening factories, some are doing trade, and some are more traditional catering companies.

They are found in all walks of life and are different. The only thing they have in common is that they are not interested in Nanyi's "expert" status. After Zhang Dewen introduced Nanyi, others didn't care where he was a professor at all, and just agreed that he went to India to start a business. As for the identity of the investor, what we are discussing is also the issue of the Indian market.

The identity of an expert was not recognized, so Nanyi had no choice but to absorb it without spitting it out. He gave up the idea of ​​touching on geopolitics and kept his ears open to listen to other entrepreneurs sharing the obstacles they had encountered.

While everyone was chatting happily, Xue Xiaomin, the cross-border e-commerce tiger, was sitting in Daguo Niu’s business plane and slowly landed at the Campigauda International Airport.

At that time, Da Guo Niu under the leadership of Nanyi started out in a mess, and everyone who could make money was stepped on. More than two years later, when Da Guo Niu completed its initial accumulation, its business lines began to adjust, and the station group business stopped. 7788, only SmartBox was left to expand globally; Five Hundred Miles was packaged and sold to Wandou. Three years later, Wandou was sold to Maobao as a whole, making it the most sensational merger and acquisition of the year.

Korean Style spent a wonderful seven or eight years. Then, the Korean brand became a little ineffective, and the business line began to adjust. The Korean brand continued to play, and at the same time, it also created other brands that did not have national or regional attributes. It has been doing well. It is the cash milk of the big country cow.

Just since last year, domestic business has begun to shrink, several online stores have been closed, and most of the remaining business has been connected with Ingrid Xu, and foreign business has begun to expand.

From the beginning, FOX essential oils aimed to build the first essential oil brand in China. It started off well and has been following the rising stars of the brand since the 1990s and earlier, established in France, Germany, the United Kingdom and other countries.

Don't be too familiar with Nanyi's brand path. The tips he left for Xue Xiaomin are still playing a major role today. For the time being, no competitor has escaped from his brand thinking circle, and everyone uses what he can Strategies at your fingertips.

MadeIn has only been in the online store business for five years before entering the field of cross-border e-commerce. It has taken the route of flourishing in many places. Every time its business expands to a country, it establishes a new e-commerce platform. There is one in India. NEWME, a platform focusing on women's clothing.

Today's Daguoniu, Du Wenhua is responsible for strategic direction control, overall management, and government relations, while Xue Xiaomin is responsible for specific business development and management. She came to India this time to inspect NEWME's business.

"Kate, what do you think of the Li family's actions in the UK?"

At Bolin Castle, Catherine and Nan Ruojin were sitting at the dining table, enjoying their lunch.

Although Nan Ruojin is already thirty years old, Catherine is not worried about Nan Ruojin's marriage at all. According to her idea, her daughter should continue the glory of the Bolin family. She has never thought about letting Nan Ruojin leave from Bolin. Change to another surname.

If possible, she very much hopes that Nan Ruojin can also meet a man like Nan Yi who has the ability to provide support and allow her grandchildren to inherit Bolin's surname.

"Mom, you want to ask about this year's action?"

"Yes."

"Electricity, tap water, natural gas, passenger railways, commercial buildings, in this order, the next step should be telecommunications and bars." Nan Ruojin blurted out without thinking.

Catherine smiled and asked: "Why is there a bar?"

Nan Ruojin put down her knife and fork, wiped her lips, and took another sip of wine before saying slowly: "Because the name of the bar is Green King, which operates more than 2,700 pubs in England, Wales, Scotland and other places. There are many properties in restaurants and hotels, and they also have great brand value. Although it has a debt of 1.9 billion pounds, its operations have been very healthy and it is a good cash cow."

"Do you think it would be a good idea to buy some shares of Green King now?"

"I think it's..."

Before Nan Ruojin finished speaking, the very old butler Matthew came over to report, "Madam, Miss, Master Zeyang is here to visit."

"Bring him directly to the restaurant." Catherine responded, and then said to Nan Ruojin: "Nan Zeyang has been coming more frequently recently."

Nan Ruojin said noncommittally, "Maybe he wants to compete with Nan Zechao for the position of first heir."

"Absolutely impossible. He has no hope at all. Your father and your eldest brother will not agree. I believe he himself understands that there is no chance of winning." Catherine said with certainty.

As soon as Catherine finished speaking, Matthew had already led Nan Zeyang into the restaurant.

When they reached the dining table, Nan Zeyang greeted the two of them, "Ms. Bolin, aunt."

Catherine asked: "Zeyang, have you had lunch?"

"not yet."

"Sit down and eat together, Anna, bring us a set of utensils."

Nan Zeyang sat down in the empty seat next to Catherine. After Anna brought the tableware, he put some food on his plate.

Nan Ruojin asked: "Zeyang, have you gone out for fun recently?"

Nan Zeyang spent his teenage years in New York, but when it came time to choose a university, he chose to study at Imperial College London, where he is currently studying a double major in computer science and mechanics.

"I was very busy studying in the past period and didn't have much free time. I will have more free time in the next half month. I'm going to visit grandpa. Would you like aunt to come with me?"

"Dad is not in the capital now, but in India."

Nan Zeyang shrugged, "It doesn't matter where you go, as long as you can see grandpa."

Nan Ruojin thought for a moment and said, "I have time the day after tomorrow, so you can take my plane there."

"OK."

Nan Yi was a little annoyed. When the Entrepreneur Club gathering was coming to an end, a female entrepreneur arrived late. She didn’t know why. She was in her early forties, less than 1.55 meters tall, and her body was like a cylinder. , the female entrepreneur with no sense of concaveness seemed to have taken a liking to him at a glance. There were obviously many empty seats for her to stand, but she still wanted to stand next to him and kept talking to him.

Those eyes seemed to be spitting fire. They had burned Nan Yi's clothes clean and were commenting on his figure.
