In the remaining days of September, as well as the entire October and November, Nanyi focused most of his energy on the establishment of the Intelligence Committee, or more precisely, on the establishment of the intelligence team.

Nan Yi is suspicious by nature, and it is impossible for people to enter the core of the Nan clan in a short time. Without three or two years of observation, it is simply not enough to gain his initial trust.

It will take at least several years for the Intelligence and Strategy Committee to be truly established.

In two and a half months, Nan Yi got hundreds of candidate lists, but in the end he only identified three people - Bat, Ghost, and Hawkeye.

Eagle Eye is responsible for establishing a public business information department. Each industry under Nan's will be assigned a business information office in the future, which is visible and falls within the scope of normal business operations.

Bat is responsible for setting up a secret business information department to obtain the business information Nan needs from various visible and shady channels.

Ghost is responsible for forming a department that has no name, no code name, and does not exist at all. The task of this department is very simple. It is responsible for providing intelligence support to anyone who wants to harm Nan Clan or when Nan Clan wants to take the initiative to "help" someone.

Sitting in the office of Pan American Investment Holdings again, Rachel reported to Nanyi.

"Boss, the venture capital department selected two investment targets at the end of September. In late October, it has completed investment in these two targets. Wangdefu was valued at US$150 million and obtained 15% of the shares; Yi

Purchased the company at a valuation of US$22 million and obtained 20% of the shares.

This valuation was done by me and was criticized by the venture capital department. They were already doubting my integrity and ability." Rachel said a little sadly.

"Haha, if they want to doubt it, let them doubt it. There is no need to explain anything." Nan Yi smiled and said, "Okay, continue."

This operation is nothing more than bringing some private goods into Pan American's future demutualization process. In partnership business, each partner will have a little selfishness to a certain extent. The key is to have a certain degree of control.

Looking at it now, giving Wangdefu and Tesco such high valuations is suspected of lining their own pockets, and will become a lever in the hands of other shareholders in the future.

But as long as the future valuations of the two companies rise, this private property can also become Nanyi's foresight and selflessness.

"The Securities Department already holds 16.5% of Microsoft shares, costing US$13.5 million; Best Buy 21.5%, costing US$32 million; Wal-Mart 8%, scanning the secondary market for 2%, with an average price of 27.32, and acquiring 6% from shareholders, with a total cost of

872 million US dollars.

The outside world is generally optimistic about Wal-Mart, and 8% is already the limit. I went to attend a board meeting and Walton had plans to split its shares."

"One split into two?"

"There is no final conclusion yet."

"Oh, Wal-Mart and Microsoft are moved to the venture capital department, and Best Buy remains in the securities department."

"OK."

When Nan Yi said this, Rachel understood his different attitudes towards the three companies. Wal-Mart and Microsoft would hold them for a long time, while Best Buy might sell them for cash at any time.

"Talk to the catering department and make a plan to open a high-end restaurant in New York. The location of the restaurant should be close enough to Central Park, Scarlett's residence, and the construction site on Long Island."

“Is it just a restaurant, or is it going to be more of a private club?”

"In addition to dining, the club also needs to occasionally entertain guests and hold dance parties. By the way, Red Sofa Entertainment should no longer be a paper company. Build it up and establish good connections in Hollywood.

In the future, Pan American’s guests and connections may need dance partners, and they may also want to dine with their favorite celebrities, play cards or something like that.”

"Understood. Does Red Sofa need to invest in the film or sign a few artists?"

"Of course, but you don't have to worry about it. I will take care of it myself when I have free time."

When Rachel heard what Nan Yi said, she gave him a meaningful look.

Nan Yi didn't care what Rachel would think, and said directly: "After you finish the work at hand, go to Dubai and have a good chat with the chief there. We at Pan America are very interested in participating in their infrastructure construction.

If an agreement can be reached, Pan American will need to start attracting shareholders next year and will also consider issuing Pan American bonds."

"Dubai?" Rachel thought for a moment and said, "That small city where it's all sand and there's oil underneath?"

"Yes, they are so rich with black gold. Ten years ago, weren't they promoting the transformation from a single oil economy to a diversified economy? Dubai is in a prime position in the Middle East and is a good place for entrepot trade. , investing in ports and free trade zones there will definitely bring huge returns.

Everyone is a wealthy person. If we develop real estate and investment service industries in Dubai, the prospects for luxury goods will be very good."

"But it's very hot there, and my skin..." Rachel said deliberately.

"Next June, it will be your assessment period, shares..." Nan Yi also deliberately did not say further.

"I understand, I understand, I will try to leave in the middle of the month." Rachel raised her hands in surrender and said, "If there is nothing else, I will go out first."

"uh-huh."

Nan Yi nodded, and when Rachel went out, he put a vinyl record on the record player.

The more his career is on the right track, the less things Nan Yi needs to do. He only needs to control the general direction and look at the reports from time to time.

For example, Scarlett Grain Group, he also knew that this group was actively expanding in Montana. It acquired farms and ranches worth buying in Montana, as well as some uncultivated wasteland and forestland. Acquisition scope.

The area of ​​arable land currently held exceeds 1,650 square kilometers, which is 2.475 million acres. The price is not expensive. Taking into account various subsidies and discounts, the average price of good and bad land is only 107 US dollars/acre.

Montana is originally a major agricultural and animal husbandry state, and agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry are its pillar industries.

However, Nan Yi still thinks it's a bit expensive. If it weren't for the irrigation problem, he really wants to buy farmland in Mexico State. It's cheap, about 10 US dollars per acre. If you buy more, you will get some extra land.

There are a lot of deserts. If you buy farmland, you will get some desert. Farming is not possible, but you can prospect for minerals. Don’t worry about digging out ancient tombs of oil and gold. They all belong to you and no one will compete with you.

In Nanyi's plan, Scarlett Food Group will continue to expand. The next step is Arkansas. Now it has traveled all over the country, and then it will go to Canada and Mexico next door.

Nan Yi didn't know how many sons and daughters he would have in the future. If they were all big-bellied, he was afraid they wouldn't have enough to eat if he didn't plant more land. He quietly set a plan for the Nan family of 180 million acres of cultivated land. As a red line, a small goal of holding 300 million acres of cultivated land has been set.

Listening to the music and flipping through the book "Cattle Raising Techniques" in his hand, Nan Yi took notes carefully while thinking twice about what to do with the milk if the milk could not be sold at a high price.

Dumping into the sea and rivers is prone to environmental fines, and digging pits to dump will also increase costs. It is necessary to increase supporting enterprises for secondary processing of milk. In years when the price is good, more milk will be sold, and in years when the price is bad, it will be processed into milk products.

Then we need to study the long-term storage technology of milk. We need to consult with knowledgeable people about the cost of long-term storage of milk...

From raising cattle, Nan Yi's thinking quickly spread to beef and milk, and then spread further. His thinking became wider and wider, and the questions he thought about became more and more in-depth. Finally, he led himself into a blind spot of knowledge, and his thinking continued.

Went down.

"Forget it, don't think about it anymore. There are specialties in the art industry, so I can't know everything."

After letting go of her stubbornness, Nan Yi became more relaxed. She read most of a book in one afternoon. When the text in the book became blurry, Nan Yi closed the book, went to the bookstore, and bought a few professional books on breeding.

.

Back at Scarlett's house, the two children were already there, and Nan Ruoping was leaning on Scarlett's belly and listening.

"I guess he's the younger brother." Nan Ruobing said after listening for a while.

"I guess it's my sister. My aunt's belly is round and not pointed at all." Fan Hongdou disagreed.

"Auntie, do you want something sour or spicy?"

"When did you two become pediatricians and have younger siblings?" Nan Yi said a few words and then said to Scarlett: "How are you today?"

"It's okay, very good, don't worry, I'm taking good care of myself." Scarlett said carelessly: "Didn't you say you were going back to China? When will you leave?"

"In a few days."

"Dad, you want to go back? Why don't you wait for us to take winter vacation?" Nan Ruoping was dissatisfied upon hearing this.

"Including the weekend, you only have 10 days off in total. How can you have time to go back with me? Besides, Christmas is coming, and you are here to spend Christmas with Scarlett and eat turkey."

Nan Ruoping said in disgust: "What's so delicious about turkey? Firewood is to die for."

"You're the only one who talks a lot, so hurry up and cook."

"It's not me today, it's Sister Hongdou's turn."

Nan Yi looked at Fan Hongdou, and she gave her an affirmative look.

"Okay, Anko, it's time to cook."

"Well, godfather, I'll be there right away." Fan Hongdou agreed and walked to the kitchen.

The two girls are no longer young. Starting last month, Nanyi taught them how to cook. He said he taught them, but in fact, he taught them how to use the stove, and then told them about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and focused on what is more dangerous.

Behavior, other things are left to them to explore on their own.

Cooking is easy or difficult. What matters is nothing more than the heat and the ratio of seasonings. It only takes a few tries to make it swallowable. It is more difficult to become masterful.

Fortunately, you don't need to become a professional chef.

In today's domestic rural areas, people of similar age to them cannot do farm work, but it is very common for them to go to the stove to help their parents boil water and cook during the busy farming season.

Although the two children do not live in rural areas in China, they still have to have the necessary experiences. Whether they are cooking or working in the fields, they will inevitably have to travel.

Nan Yisan was watching TV in the living room, and Fan Hongdou was jingling in the kitchen. When Michelin chef Renault brought out Scarlett's dinner, Fan Hongdou also brought out the fruits of her labor.

Nan Yi walked to the dining table, looked at it, and immediately praised: "There is progress, there is no burnt food this time, just use bowls and chopsticks to eat."

"Yeah."

Fan Hongdou felt very satisfied after being praised, and quickly took out the dishes and set them out one by one.

When Nan Ruopeng came to the table, she tasted it properly, "The rice was too soft, too much water was added; the cabbage was too sour, too much vinegar was added; the green beans were still raw, and the pork was too bland, too little salt was added...

Ouch!"

"You talk a lot. When will you stop being burnt? I'll ask Amitabha." Nan Yi rewarded Nan Ruoping with a burst of chestnuts, "Eat quickly, each of the three of us has a third, and no leftovers are allowed."

.”

Nan Yi picked up the basin, divided the three pots of vegetables on the table into three equal portions, and placed one pot in front of the three of them.

Then, he ate it himself with relish.

The same goes for Fan Hongdou. The food she makes by herself tastes better. As for Nan Ruobin, it’s okay to say that the look of her death was almost the same as being executed.

The night passed quickly. Except for Nan Yi who slept very lightly and needed to pay attention to Scarlett's movements at all times, it was just an ordinary night, so ordinary that there was no need to remember it.

The next day, when Nan Yi got up, the two children were already in front of the glass window, blowing white mist on the glass, and then they used their fingers to outline innocence in the white mist.

Yi Zai stretched out his head from his bed, opened his eyes and glanced at Nan Yi with a calm look. He scratched his four cat paws, covered his head with the quilt, meowed, and continued to sleep soundly.

There is a kind of thinness that Grandma thinks is thin. When Yi Zi was sent to New York, Nan Yi almost didn’t recognize him. The original slender figure disappeared, and even the attributes of a cat disappeared, turning into a

A big fat pig with a cat's head.

I eat five meals a day, have three bowel movements, and spend the rest of the time sleeping.

"Horse, go three miles and come back three miles."
