Chapter 534 The Luxury of Inferiority
"Then shall we go?"
"Of course we have to walk, we have invested so much, my time is very precious." Nan Yi picked up the sparkling wine on the table and poured a quarter glass for Ye Kai, "Try the sparkling wine here , produced by Faguolafeng Winery, it is very famous in the world."
"La Feng, I heard that rich people in Xiangtang drink this brand." Ye Qian picked up the wine glass and poured it into the glass.
"Oh? How do you know?"
"I saw it in a Hong Kong movie. When a rich person opens that party, he drinks Lafeng 1980, which costs thousands of Hong Kong dollars a bottle. When he opens his mouth, he says, "A bottle of Lafeng red wine is more than 8,000 yuan. Have you ever drank it?" , that’s called domineering." Ye Yan shook his wine glass and asked, "How much does it cost for a bottle?"
"Low-end goods, not expensive, 308 a bottle."
"More than three hundred, that's not too expensive. I haven't had such an expensive wine yet. I have to try it out."
Ye Qian carefully brought the wine glass to his mouth and took a sip, then poked his mouth, and said: "Good wine is different, this taste is just right."
Nan Yi shook his wine glass and smiled knowingly. He was too aware of Chinese people's perception of luxury goods. For a long time, the meaning of luxury goods to Chinese people was to stick to the word "expensive".
Expensive, and everyone knows that it is expensive, this is the motivation for Chinese people to buy it.
To put it bluntly, the motivation for buying luxury goods is to distinguish them from ordinary people and to appear superior. As for the quality, style, and background of luxury goods, few people can understand them.
After the reform and opening up, most of the first batch of self-employed people took this road as a last resort. Before that, they were all losers in various fields and losers who were discriminated against.
When they become self-employed and earn money, they still have no social status and are still discriminated against.
They have suffered and been discriminated against. Although they have earned money, their social status has not improved. Although the above encourages the development of the individual economy, in fact, it is always difficult for self-employed people to do something, and they are still unpopular.
Having money and no status is like a spring, which can be pressed for more than ten years. They desperately hope to be affirmed, and they desperately hope to be upright and upright, with their heads held high.
What can they do?
Only eat well, drink well, wear well, distance yourself from ordinary people in terms of living conditions, and wish to engrave the words "I am rich" on your face, so that everyone knows that they are rich , let everyone look up to them.
"Wow, the clothes on him cost more than 7,000 yuan", "Wow, his watch is more than 100,000 yuan", and so on can be heard from many people. purpose.
Everything is just for a face.
As for ordinary people who grit their teeth and save for a month or two, they can afford luxury goods. The original group of luxury buyers will be sublimated and start talking about quality of life and personal taste.
For a long time, the most important thing for Lafeng Winery in China is to let everyone know that Lafeng wine is expensive, especially expensive.
The 308 yuan a bottle of sparkling wine is the cheapest and lowest-end wine that Lafeng Chateau has released in Huaguo. Last year, the average annual income in Huaguo was 230 yuan, and the average salary of 110 million employees was 826 yuan.
Judging from this year's situation, the average value will rise a lot, but when it comes to individuals, the actual situation of 900 million farmers has not changed much from last year, and has even gone downhill.
The skill points of the infrastructure madman have been ignited. In order to build roads, in many places, Tiliuri has added a new toll item-road surcharge.
A bottle of sparkling wine of more than 300 yuan does not look too expensive at first glance, but it is actually more than ten yuan more than the national average annual income.
The average number, everyone understands, at least six or seven out of ten people saw it and cried bitterly, wailing that they are holding back the country.
When night fell, Nan Yi and Liu Zhen were sitting on the sofa watching TV. On the other side of the world, Scarlett landed at San Diego's Nu Benitez International Airport on the Adam II.
As soon as Scarlett stepped off the gangway, Jobert, the Minister of Mines of Chile, immediately greeted her.
"Ms. Taylor, welcome to Chile."
"Minister Jobert, thank you for coming to welcome me." Scarlett shook hands with Jobert and smiled.
"We very much welcome the Scarlett Mining Group to invest in mining in Chile. Ms. Scarlett, the car is already waiting, let's go now."
"OK."
Scarlett responded, and walked side by side with Jobert to the limousine car on the tarmac.
This time, Scarlett's schedule will be very tight. She will first discuss the exploration rights of the Atacama Desert with Jobert, and then fly to Peru to discuss the exploration rights of the Capamaca region.
These two regions have two world-class copper mines - Escondida Copper Mine and Las Bambas Copper Mine.
One reserves the first in the world, and the other ninth.
These two mines are the last two unexplored mines that Nanyi has memory and knows the exact location. He still remembers the names of many unexplored mines in his mind, but he doesn't know the exact location at all, only which country it is located in.
That is to say, after performing these two touch-stone magic powers, Nanyi will be blinded in the future. He originally drew a small circle on the map, but in the future he can only draw a big circle.
The big circle means little, and the cost of Scarlett Mining Group will soar rapidly.
After this year, you can no longer be opportunistic. You can only compete with other mining groups, honestly send out the exploration team to explore everywhere, and compete with other mining groups at the bidding meeting.
"Let me tell you something. Our bank just held a meeting to properly release the application for housing construction loans for enterprises. Do you know what this means?" Liu Zhen took a toothpick and inserted a piece of Huaniu apple into her mouth. After chewing for a while, he said to Nanyi.
"Special?"
"That's right, hundreds of millions of dollars will be prepared to provide special loans for special use. Nanyi, you can eat too." Liu Zhen inserted another piece of apple and sent it to Nanyi's mouth.
Nanyi turned his head and said, "Eat it by yourself, this apple is too expensive, I'm afraid it will be struck by lightning after eating it."
"Nonsense, Hua Niu is expensive, but it's not too expensive."
"You know what the hell, the apples haven't reached their ripening stage yet. They were sold in Hong Kong last year. In order for you to eat them, someone specially sent them over by plane. An apple is equivalent to hundreds of dollars."
"Who told you to do such a thing, just go to the market and buy some ordinary apples." Liu Zhen pouted and said, "Okay, don't interrupt, and continue our topic."
"What do you want to say, do you want me to invest in a brick and tile factory or a prefabricated panel factory?"
"What do you pretend to be? Who asked you to invest in this kind of factory, I mean cement factory, electric wire factory and so on."
"Oh, the cement factory has already been planned, but I haven't thought about the electric wire factory."
"Haven't thought about it?" Liu Zhen turned her head to look at Nanyi, turned her head and said, "You want to go straight to the source?"
"Hehe, it's said that you've been stupid for three years after being pregnant. It seems that you haven't been stupid to the end."
"You are stupid." Liu Zhen spat and said, "What arrangement did you make?"
"There are rich copper ore belts in Laos. I have asked people to explore in Laos, and some have been found in Jinghong area. Most of them will invest in copper mines in Laos, but there is a little trouble."
"What trouble?"
"The place that the exploration team is optimistic about is on the delivery route of the donkey gang. These guys are ignorant, and they didn't agree to let them go another way."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Let someone talk to Kun Sha first, and ask him to sell face and change the route. If you can't agree, talk to the well."
"Don't suppress him?"
"Kunsha's power is too great, and the relationship behind it is complicated. It's not worth the loss to suppress him. The price we pay will exceed our interests in the old copper mine, and even much more."
"Oh, that can only be discussed in terms of peaceful coexistence."
"yes."
Liu Zhen shifted her position and said, "Go on, there is a plan for the copper mine, so what is the raw material for wire production called copper?"
"Electrolytic copper."
"Oh, yes, it's electrolytic copper. Do you want to invest in an electrolytic copper plant?"
"Have an idea."
"Very good. This one meets the needs of the market and has a good prospect."
"No, you should say that this is in line with the country's strategic needs. Our country is short of copper. In the short term, the electrolytic copper plant can provide the copper demand for infrastructure wires. In order to save copper, it is necessary to carry out copper-iron plating and copper galvanization. technical research.
In the long run, if our country wants to rise, it has to follow the path of global strategic layout of energy resources, and we will act as the pioneer. "
"Huh?" Liu Zhen said in surprise: "What do you mean, do you want to hold the old copper mine in the name of a domestic company? Wenchangwei? No, it should be Nanchen Village, right?"
"Well, first cooperate with Nanchen Village to establish an electrolytic copper factory. After a few years, the electrolytic copper factory will be upgraded to Nanchen Nonferrous Metals Group, and then the old copper mine will be merged in the name of the group."
"Nanyi, shouldn't you give Nanchen Village a project that can see benefits in front of you? Nanchen Wine has invested so much, and you haven't seen any money back. Are you afraid that Nanchen Village won't be able to wait?"
"Aren't the five electronics factories in Shenzheng and the Yifa Street in Yanyu all producing profits, and Nanchen Construction is making money even though it's a little less?"
"It's too little. I haven't recovered the investment of Nan Chenjiu yet."
Nanyi hugged Liu Zhen into his arms and said, "You, don't worry about it. Uncle Zong Qing said one thing in Nanchen Village. Everyone in the village listened to him. His vision is far-reaching. He can understand my layout. Also very supportive.
Turning back money, it is not too difficult to imagine. After I finish the work at hand, I will study it and come up with a project that can make money in the short term.
Wenchangwei will start building a new village soon, and we can't favor one over another. Nanchen Village will also follow up. We need to earn some money to handle this matter. "
"You've worked hard enough, you don't stop all year round, it's time to take a vacation for yourself." Liu Zhen rubbed her face against Nan Yi's neck and murmured.
"Yes, in another two years, I will take care of the children for a few years, so I can take a good rest. But then again, I'm not too tired now. Those women in the countryside are tired. I'll tell you about the countryside. What do women do all day?"
"Say, I'll listen."
"At 4:30 in the morning, at most 5 o'clock, I have to get up and cook the stove, cook a big pot of porridge in one pot, and boil pig grass in the other pot, and when the porridge is cooked, mix it with pig grass to feed the pigs.
After feeding the pigs, it was dawn. I took the bucket to the river to wash the clothes. After washing, I hurriedly had breakfast, and it was time to go to work in the fields.
It’s okay for a child in the family to be seven or eight years old, and he can help with some work. If he is only four, five or six years old, then don’t expect to be able to help, as long as he can take care of himself and not cause trouble.
Go to the field in the morning, and come back in a hurry to cook and feed the pigs at noon.
You can take a nap at noon, go to the field again in the afternoon, and then make dinner. After dinner, you have to find time to mend, or do some manual work, and you have to earn a little money to add oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar to the family.
If it’s not farming season, you have to think about going out to do some work. If you don’t earn some money, where can you have money to buy chemical fertilizers, pesticides, pay water bills, agricultural electricity bills, and pull cloth money, etc.?
You must know that if a pig is raised for a year, it is at most enough to pay the school fees for the children.
To live such a busy and dull life, one has to be lucky, otherwise there would be a jar of medicine at home, not to mention how hard it would be. "
"That's okay, at least you don't need to be hungry now, it's not as bitter as when we were young."
Nan Yi shook his head and said: "It's not the same. Our life was a little bit harder than it is now, but everyone is suffering, and there is no comparison in the horizontal direction. But now, in a village, people live well and have the ability to eat meat every day; The ones that are poor will still not be able to eat the autumn harvest.
One is the double satisfaction of spirit and material, and the other is the double gap. If you put yourself in the position of "poor" and think about it, how depressed will you be? "
"It's more difficult for me to replace. Now I have been cultivated by you to have a super confident character. I am no longer the ugly duckling with low self-esteem. I almost forgot the feeling of being hungry. Look..." Liu Zhen stretched out her hand, facing each other Turning around, "My hands have become plump, not thin at all, they are no longer chicken feet."
"You gained weight only during pregnancy, and you will lose weight after the child is born. But, you won't have any more chicken feet. Didn't Zou Yiyi say that your current body is not short of nutrition at all? What a waste of so many precious medicinal materials and food supplements.
As far as those precious things you eat in your stomach, after twenty years, the value will definitely exceed 100 million. "
"Why, are you distressed?"
Nan Yi touched Liu Zhen's stomach and smiled: "I don't feel bad, as long as one tenth of it is absorbed by my baby, you, the delivery man, will let you be happy."
"Go, go, here again." Liu Zhen fiddled with Nanyi's beard and said, "I forgot to tell you, Wu Kun has already framed the painting, and the owner of the painting hasn't come to pick it up yet."
"Oh, then wait for someone to pick up the painting."
"Tell me, who is going to plot against you?"
"I can't guess that. It's unlikely that it's for me. It should be for the painting shop. There are too many tricks in the antique business, and some are all kinds of tricks. Let's put it this way. , those who have anything to do with antiques are hooligans, the difference is whether they look good or not.”
"Nanyi, what you said is too absolute. There are good people and bad people in any industry. Isn't there no good person in the antique shop?"
"Let's put it this way, let's just talk about picking up leaks in antique shops. Picking up leaks is to use information gaps to buy an item at a very low price. From a moral point of view, this is an immoral thing." matter.
This is different from buying a courtyard house to bet that the value will appreciate in the future. Whether the courtyard house will really appreciate in the future is full of uncertainties, that is, there are risks.
And you bought it according to the current value of the courtyard house and at a price acceptable to both parties. This is a fair transaction.
Picking up leaks is different. From the very beginning, those who pick up leaks are creating injustice and using the created injustice to benefit themselves. This behavior is actually showing that the mentally retarded deserve to be bullied by the strong. "
"You, you're full of unreasonable things, and you're a little sleepy, Xiao Yizi, help Ai's family to bed." Liu Zhen said with a sigh.
"Xiao Yizi, I'm still my sister-in-law. You can just call me 'yes'. If you have something to say, you can say yes, yes, and I will run over as soon as I hear it."
"Promise, promise, oh, I said, you promised."
"What else do you promise? I'm supporting you."
"I'm impatient, right? I'll sit on you and shake you to death."
"Stop talking, it's over 28 weeks, even if I want you, I have to bear it."
"Nothing."
...
The next day, early in the morning.
Qiu Hanmin followed Nanyi after punching, and while standing there wiping his sweat, he said to Nanyi, "Boy Nan, what have you been up to lately?"
"I'm not busy at all." Nanyi picked up a bottle of Laoshan mineral water from the ground, opened the cap on it and handed it to Qiu Hanmin, then opened another bottle, took a sip and continued, "We're going to set up a clothing wholesale market." , encountered a little trouble."
"The clothing wholesale market is interesting, let's hear it." Qiu Hanmin said with great interest.
