"Dad, I set up an investment company."

“Where to invest?”

"The opinion of shareholders is that as long as the prospects are good, they can invest regardless of industry."

Nan Yi turned to look at Nan Ruobin and said with a smile: "You girl likes to eat alone, so I can let you do a partnership business. The identity of a shareholder is not simple, right?"

"Hehe, they are members of the sorority, Emmanuelle Laurent, Megan Morgan, Stephanie Mellon, Lisa Dupont, and Zainab."

"The others don't need to be introduced. Dad already knows who they are. I've never heard of Zainab. Her name sounds like she's Arab. Is she the eldest lady of an oil family somewhere in Saudi Arabia?"

"No, Zainab is an Egyptian. Her family does not dig oil. Her father is Ansi Sawiris. He is mainly engaged in engineering business, commercial real estate, and beverages. He is doing very well and has a chance to become the richest man in Egypt.

The throne." Nan Ruopeng explained.

"Oh, what's the name of the company? I can do business with you in the future."

Nan Ruoping laughed and said: "gentlewomen."

"Celebrity Capital, this name is really straightforward." Nan Yi smiled and said, "How much capital does the company have?"

"It's not too much. Everyone pooled together US$10 million."

"Are you in charge?"

"Of course, my ability is recognized by everyone. I invested 1 million, but the shares are 25%." Nan Ruobing said scornfully.

"It's just a recognition of 1.5 million US dollars, no need to be embarrassed."

Nan Ruoping pouted and said, "Dad, you can't just praise me."

"Okay, Dad didn't praise you enough before." Nan Yi wanted to stroke Nan Ruobing's head, but when he reached halfway, he thought that the girl was not young anymore and it was not appropriate to stroke her head any more, so he could only take his hand back.

, said dryly: "Does Celebrity Capital have any investment targets?"

"Yes, there is a project of an online bookstore in Seattle called cadabra. Dad, have you paid attention to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision two years ago on Quill's lawsuit against the State of North Dakota?"

"I heard it, didn't the final judgment say that companies without entities in North Dakota do not need to collect state excise taxes?"

"Yes, this means that American consumers can save a certain amount of consumption tax when shopping online than shopping in physical stores. Building an online shopping platform to sell goods to consumers will be a very promising business."

"Oh, so you like this cadabra, it's a new word you made up, right?"

"I heard from the founder that he took the word from abracadabra (similar to the incantation of Taishang Laojun when he casts spells like a law), and he hopes that his company will grow as fast as if it was enchanted."

Nan Yi nodded, "Is this platform online?"

"No, it's still in the early stages of preparation."

"You're optimistic about it even before it's online?"

"Well, the founder is Jeff Bezos. His ideas and resume are very beautiful. He is a member of the Φbk Association. He graduated from Princeton with a master's degree in electrical engineering and computer science. He went to work on Wall Street as soon as he graduated. He first worked in technology, and later in

I worked as the vice president of a trust company and worked at Xiao Fund Company before resigning.

Dad, Bezos understands finance and has good connections in the financial world. His business has good financing channels. He understands technology, understands finance and has financing channels. It is so rare and worth investing in."

Hearing the name "Jeff Bezos", Nan Yi finally knew what Nan Ruobing was talking about. Cadabra may very well be the future Amazon.

"So, you want to give Bezos a seed round?"

"Well, Dad, didn't you say that investment should first look at the resume and connections of the founder, and then the management capabilities of the team. The project itself is the least important. No matter how good the idea is, it cannot succeed without a good team. The cadabra project

The performance of each item is very good, and it is worth taking the risk of Celebrity Capital.”

“Are there any highlights in the family relationship?”

"Bezos's grandfather is the regional director of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in Albuquerque. He has retired and runs a large ranch in Texas. The others have no bright spots."

"It sounds good to you. I'll ask Fortune Capital to investigate. If it's good, Fortune Capital will follow up in the AB round. Do you have any background in celebrity capital in front of Bezos?"

"Dad, you underestimate me too much. When communicating with the founder of a start-up company, you still need to talk about your background."

Nan Yi smiled heartily and said: "It's time to shine when it's time to shine. You also said that Bezos has financing channels. Financing is not difficult for him. You need to let him know how high the money of celebrity capital is."

Added value. Since we are optimistic about it, we should try to get more shares.”

Nan Ruoping nodded and said, "Dad, I bought a Bengal tiger. It's a tiger cub. It's very cute."

"Hmph, I raise cats and you raise tigers. Do you want to overwhelm me?"

"Yes, I am better than my predecessor. I also chose a very cute name. Dad, do you want to know?" Nan Ruoping's face was full of slyness.

"I don't want to know, you careless people will only make a fuss about my name."

"Hey, my name is Xiaonan. Dad, please go and see Xiaonan when you have time, so that he can get familiar with your scent."

"No, next time you just raise a tortoise named Nan Yi, just do it."

"No, the tortoise is only a thousand years old, I want to raise a tortoise that is ten thousand years old."

Nan Yi glanced at Nan Ruobin and said unhappily: "Should I praise you for your filial piety?"

"Um."

"A filial son emerges from under a stick. The ancients never deceived me. Sixteen years ago, I really should have beaten you three times a day."

"Hehe, no chance."

Nan Yi glanced forward, and the Wu family's villa came into view, "Go, go, collect your villain's ambitions, we are almost there."

It took two days to visit the families that Fang Mengyin had become friends with. Nan Ruobin flew away first, and Nan Yi got together with Guan Erfu and Luo Zhaohui. After the Chungking Tower project, Luo Zhaohui followed Guan Erfu to learn stock trading.

It is said to be learning, but in fact it is to operate with the funds.

Guan Erfu lives up to his reputation as a sniper in the stock market. He has been attacking everywhere in the past two years and has made a lot of money from the stock market. Nanyi originally put 100 million Hong Kong dollars in Luo Zhaohui's funds. Now after deducting miscellaneous expenses, there are still 6

billion Hong Kong dollars.

With such a high income, Nan Yi naturally knows how to behave and does what he likes. He spent nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars to hold a party on a yacht. Somehow, on the second day of the party, there were many crew members.

Work stoppage.

After the party, Nanyi asked for HK$500 million from Luo Zhaohui on the pretext that it needed funds for a project. The profit of HK$480 million was pocketed and the remaining 100 million was kept to make another big snowball happen.

It's best, it doesn't matter if you lose everything.

In fact, the possibility of a big snowball is unlikely. After Nanyi's funds changed from 100 million to 400 million, Luo Zhaohui's funds were close to 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. At that time, the situation changed, and Nanyi's funds became viable. No, from assistance to burden, if Nanyi had not later increased the service fee to Luo Zhaohui to 40%, Luo Zhaohui should have discussed the return of funds with Nanyi earlier.

This time, Nanyi raised the service fee to 50%. Luo Zhaohui was still a little reluctant, and it was not until after the party that he fully agreed.

After finishing the business in Xiangguan, Nanyi did not fly directly to the capital. Instead, he crossed the border and took the road from Shenzhen to Dongguan Gaoshe, and came to the Dongyi Gate of the Swallowtail Butterfly Factory. The person who came to pick him up was Zheng Manli.

"big boss."

After not seeing each other for more than five years, Zheng Manli has reached the right age, like a red apple, her tenderness has faded, her intelligence has increased, and the mature beauty of a woman is fully expressed.

"Secretary Zheng, long time no see. Where is Fengtai?"

"Big boss, the tail-end has already begun, and Mr. Wang is delivering speeches at various dinner parties."

"Go over and have a look."

The group of people got into the multi-seater golf cart, and under Zheng Manli’s instructions, the driver drove forward.

After a while, the car parked near the dormitory building. When Nanyi got off the car, he saw a series of round tables and a crowd of Swallowtail Butterfly employees sitting around the tables.

"Secretary Zheng, how many people are here?"

"21387, eight people per table, a few more tables prepared for emergencies, total 2680 tables."

"Is this the point with the largest number of people?"

"Yes, the number of people at other locations is controlled within 15,000."

"How many chefs have been hired?"

"We hired a team of 107 chefs from Funan who specialize in banquets, and hired 70 restaurants from Dongguan and Shenzhen to contract. We also hired thousands of temporary workers from the surrounding areas to serve food."

Nan Yi smiled faintly, "With hundreds of thousands of people having a banquet together, is it stressful?"

Zheng Manli frowned and said: "The pressure is very high. We can only have New Year's Eve dinner on the same day once this year. Next year, we still have to return to the branch factory to arrange our own days, otherwise it is easy to have accidents."

"We can only do it this time. By next year, the swallowtail butterfly will be in decline, and you may not be in the mood to care about these side branches."

The last time Nanyi came to Swallowtail Butterfly was in 1989. At that time, the number of employees in the entire factory exceeded 70,000. In recent years, several branch factories have been opened, and the number of employees in the entire factory has reached close to 120,000.

This is the result of controlling the expansion speed. When it comes to external business, Swallowtail Butterfly never accepts business that cannot be cooperated with for a long time. If it accepts all businesses without considering the long-term placement of new employees, the number of Swallowtail Butterfly's employees can expand to four. Five hundred thousand.

The domestic demographic dividend has been fully revealed, and the world's factory has also emerged. There is endless OEM business abroad. It can be expected that in the next five years, the steepness of the swallowtail butterfly's downhill road will still be within the controllable range.

The clothing processing industry is easy to do, and the number of people coming in to grab food will naturally increase day by day. New factories are not competitive, so they will naturally think of price wars. As competition increases, labor prices will be pushed lower and lower until people are breathless. Can't help but feel angry.

Faced with competitors who are very flexible in everything, Swallowtail Butterfly, which restricts itself to strict rules and regulations, and whose average annual labor cost is more than 3,000 yuan higher than its competitors, has no competitive advantage at all, and its future is very worrying.

"Big boss, we urgently need to carry out major rectifications on Swallowtail Butterfly to reduce costs and improve efficiency, otherwise Swallowtail Butterfly will really run the risk of bankruptcy."

Nan Yi sighed, "Yes, it is indeed difficult for low-value-added industries to implement high benefits. I know you have been under a lot of pressure in recent years and everyone has worked hard. Let's not mention it for now. The Chinese New Year is almost here. Everyone is celebrating.

Have a good year, let’s deal with all the worries at the beginning of next year.”

For a large factory with 120,000 people, the after-tax profit in 1994 was only a few million to 100 million, and the average benefit contributed by each employee was less than 1,000 yuan. Nanyi could not care about it. Yanwei Die is a high school on the line.
