Chong Sheng 1977Nian Cong Zhi Qing Kai Shi

"Chen Fang."

As soon as Nan Yi walked out of the screening room, he saw Chen Fang from the Gunners Company.

When Chen Fang heard Nanyi's call, he walked up to Nanyi, "Boss, why are you here?"

"Come and play with Sophie, how about you?"

The script of "Joan of Arc" was originally written by Chen Fang, and the script was written according to the characteristics of an unknown woman. It would be strange if Chen Fang didn't know the special relationship between Sophie Marceau and Nan Yi. Therefore, Nan Yi Yi will answer directly and honestly.

"Boss, as you know, the company has signed the copyrights of many novels. The best-sellers are okay, and there is no need to worry about selling them. For some books that are not best-selling, the film and television copyrights will expire in two years. I have to hurry up and sell them. "

"Oh, did it go well?"

"It's okay, I've already discussed a few intentions." Chen Fang looked at his watch and said apologetically, "Boss, I've made an appointment to discuss copyright, and the time is almost up."

"Which novel is the copyright?"

"Winston Groom's "Forrest Gump" has been in my hands for a long time, and finally someone is interested."

"Oh, don't hinder me, let's get busy..." Nan Yi just raised his hand, and suddenly realized what the title of the book Chen Fang said meant, "Wait a minute, Forrest Gump? Forrest Gump?"

"Boss, what's the problem?" Chen Fang asked confusedly.

"Do you have this book with you?"

"have."

Chen Fang took out the book from his briefcase and handed it to Nanyi.

Nan Yi took the book and turned directly to the beginning of the first chapter, "I want to say something: Being an idiot is not like chocolate. Others will laugh at you, get impatient with you, and treat you badly. Well, people say, if you want Be kind to the unfortunate, but let me tell you, it doesn't always have to be like that...

Seriously, I know a little about idiots. That's about the only lore I know, but I've actually read stuff on it--from that Dostoevsky guy's The Idiot, to King Lear's Fool, and Faulkner's Idiots, Benji, even To Kill a Mockingbird. "

Seeing this, Nan Yi has already confirmed that the book he is holding in his hand is what he thinks is "Forrest Gump". However, he did not put the book down, but called Chen Fang to a corner, and he continued to walk behind In the middle of reading, regardless of Chen Fang's urging many times, he just swallowed the book whole.

After closing the book for a long time, Nan Yi looked at Chen Fang who was already very anxious, "Don't be so pretentious, tell me, who are you dating?"

"Wendy Fendman." Chen Fang said with an expressionless face.

"Producer?"

"right."

"Which company?"

"Paramount."

"How many times have you contacted?"

"the third time."

"Where were the first two times?"

"Los Angeles."

"How long is the interval?"

"The first time was a year and a half ago, and the second time was seven months ago." Chen Fang thought for a while.

"Who took the initiative?"

"The first time, me, the second time, the other party."

"What about this time?"

"Just in time, Wendy Fendman offered to talk again."

Nan Yi thought for a while and said, "Don't you feel like you are being walked by her like a fish?"

"Walking fish?"

"Yes, walking the fish while fishing and lifting the rod will exhaust your patience and strength."

Chen Fang stared, "Boss, are you saying that Paramount is actually very optimistic about this book?"

Nan Yi asked instead, "Which year is next year?"

"In 1994, the 100th anniversary of the birth of the film, most companies in Hollywood are preparing to release good works next year."

Nan Yi clapped the book in his hand, "One, the time is right, the people who have experienced the events described in the book happen to be the main consumers of movie tickets, and as you said, the 100th anniversary of the birth of the movie, next year is the movie year, box office performance Certainly not bad; Second, this book can be summed up in three words—the American Dream, which is very politically correct.

Two things, the film and television copyright of this book, I hope to get back 20 million US dollars. After the contract is confirmed, I will say hello to the author, and half of the proceeds will belong to him; All the screenwriters of the Screenwriters Association, writers in the United States and even in Europe know the benevolence and ability of our Gunners company. "

"Boss, $20 million is too much, and Paramount may not agree."

"It's okay, let's talk slowly. When Paramount doesn't agree to it by mid-July, there's no need to continue the discussion. We will do this project ourselves."

"Okay." Chen Fang nodded reluctantly, "Out of politeness, I should still go to see Wendy Fendman, although I have been late for a long time."

"Hmm, you can just take a look at Paramount's attitude. If the other person is still there when you pass by, I think some things will be clearer."

"OK."

After Chen Fang left, Nan Yi returned to the gate of the Festival Palace, and Sophie Marceau was already waiting in a slightly remote corner.

Nanyi stepped forward and said, "Flat shoes, how are you talking?"

"It's not very good. Chen has no plans to make a new film yet." Sophie Marceau was a little frustrated.

"Did he not recognize you?"

"Recognized, he didn't perfunctory me."

"It's okay, don't be depressed, you will definitely find a good film investment, if you are not afraid that I am a newcomer, you can invest in my film." Nanyi comforted.

"Your film? Are you going to be a producer?"

"No, I want to be a director."

"Adam, no kidding, you don't know how to be a director."

"Okay, no kidding."

Nan Yi originally wanted to say that there is no difficulty in being a director, as long as he is willing to spend money and find a capable director to be his assistant director, he only needs to be responsible for sitting behind the camera and pretending to be a picture. But when you think about Sophie Marceau's love for movies, it's not a joke. It's not a good joke.

"Adam, let's go to the Majestic Bahri Hotel, I want to try my luck there."

Nan Yi was amazed by Sophie Marceau's sudden enthusiasm for ambition. Sophie Marceau had been idle for many years and had never shown any ambition. It seemed that Sophie Marceau Suo is not only passionate about movies, but may be regarded as sincere.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The Majestic Bachre Hotel is the hotel designated by the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival. Almost all the people invited to participate in the competition live in this hotel. If 50% of the diners in the Palme d'Or restaurant at noon are people from the film and television industry, then 80% of the guests in the hotel Ninety percent are.

Sophie Marceau threw Nanyi at the open-air bar by the sea, and she went to various public places in the hotel to find investable targets.

In this situation, Nan Yi is happy to see the results. He doesn't want to see Sophie Marceau live like a canary. He doesn't expect her to make a lot of money. Doing something is better than wandering around every day and eating space things. Think west well.

After ordering a drink and two more magazines, Nan Yi slumped back in his chair and flipped through the magazines with ease.

On the other side, the pretentious man, that is, Gu Junhao, became more and more angry about what happened in the restaurant at noon. Their Gu family was a large Chinese family that had re-developed after Laos changed in 1975 and rich Chinese businessmen returned to poverty. His father The Isala Group established by Gu Zhenghe is one of the few commercial entities in Vientiane, Laos. Gu Junhao has always walked sideways in Vientiane, but he was devastated when he came to France.

After venting for a while, Gu Junhao drove away the young actor introduced by the middleman, picked up the phone beside the bed and called Paris.

The Gu family has a good family and official family in Paris. After the change in Laos, the Chinese were forced to abandon business and become farmers. The two currency reforms severely hit the Chinese and confiscated their assets in disguise. Many Chinese who panicked and tried their best to flee became refugees. At that time, as long as they could get a ticket to go abroad, many people would not hesitate to give up their hard-earned assets.

The flames of war in Indochina disrupted the peaceful and prosperous life of the officials, and all the businesses in Laos fell into a crisis of disappearing overnight. "Trees move to die, people move to live", it is impossible to stick to it, and the waiting is even more distant. The difficult choice is to abandon the second hottest land of Laos, relocate to other places, and break into a new world.

It is said to be migration, but it is actually a difficult self-exile. Keqin, the second son of the official family, was born in Thailand in his early years. He went to Thailand and is now the founder and chairman of Keqin Group. In terms of infrastructure construction, the impact is even greater.

The youngest official, Keji, graduated from the University of New South Wales in Sydney in 1968 with a business degree. In 1975, after the regime change in the three Indo-Chinese states, he took his parents, wife, daughter, and two younger sisters to Australia to start a new life.

He successively founded food production and trading companies in France, Thailand, the United States, Australia and other places, and founded the "Official and Trading Company" of Xiangsong in 1981. He is one of the relatively large enterprises in Xiangsong that has done food export .

In 1971, the fourth brother, Guan Kerong, was sent to study in France, where he studied electrical engineering at the Ecole Polytechnique de Lyon. In 1975, the eldest brother Guan Kejian, who had just turned 40, bid farewell to Laos, brought his sister, wife, and child, and came to France empty-handed to join his younger brother who was in college.

Since then, after fleeing Laos, the four brothers of the Guan family have completed a strategic shift of the family's transnational migration, and each has transferred from the history of refugees to the era of second-generation entrepreneurship of the family.

When they first arrived in France, the brothers Guan Kejian and Guan Kerong originally wanted to open a restaurant in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. Due to lack of experience, the rented shop did not have gas, so they failed to open it.

In 1976, the two rented a small shop of 30 square meters for wholesale business on an inconspicuous street in the 12th district of Paris. Xeon's entrepreneurial history.

Today, this company has become the largest Chinese importer, wholesaler and retailer in France and the largest Chinese businessman in Western Europe. The two brothers Guan Kejian and Guan Kerong have also become the richest Chinese in France.

When Guan Kejian Brothers Company was newly opened, there were no festive firecrackers and no congratulatory crowds. The hard work in Laos has been in vain, so there is no liquidity to support long-term operations.

In order to survive in a strange and difficult foreign environment, we must rely on a continuous self-improvement, as well as the diligence and management skills possessed by overseas Chinese and Chinese. At the beginning of his business, Guan Kerong was not only the general manager of the company, but also a driver and porter.

In the second half of the 1970s, as refugees from Southeast Asia poured into France, more and more Asians gathered in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. Guanshi Brothers, which specializes in Asian food import and wholesale business, has moved the company from the 12th arrondissement to the Seine River On the other side of the 13th district, the company's business area has also continued to expand.

At this time, the Guan brothers keenly felt that importing and wholesale food alone could no longer adapt to the needs and changes of the market. Only by setting up chain supermarkets to directly sell goods can they embark on the road of sustainable operation. So, they made a bold and practical decision: to build a modern supermarket.

On August 15, 1981, in the Ivry district of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, an Asian food chain supermarket transformed from a 3,000-square-meter abandoned train freight station - "Guan's Department Store" opened. This is the first Chinese in Paris history. The Asian food supermarket chain operated by the company specializes in selling specialty foods from all over Asia such as Thailand, Huaguo, South Korea, Japan, and Lijiapo.

The opening of the Guanshi Department Store was a major turning point in the family business of the Guanshi brothers. Since then, the business has expanded rapidly and the turnover has been booming.

In 1987, the turnover of Guan's Brothers exceeded 270 million francs, and it was listed on the list of famous French companies. It already has a good strength in Paris. After six years of development, Guan's strength in Paris is now To become stronger is a figure who stomps his feet and shakes three shocks in the business world.

Of course, you need to add parentheses, and fill in the two words "Chinese".

Guan Kejian's son was named Guan Weijie, and he and Gu Junhao were childhood playmates, and Gu Junhao's phone call was made to him. On the phone, Gu Junhao said that he was bullied in Cannes and wanted Guan Weijie to help him.

Guan Weijie who received the call did not dare to neglect, and hurried to Guan Kejian's office. But when he knocked on the door and entered Guan Kejian's office, Guan Weijie discovered that Guan Kejian had guests, and they were not ordinary guests.

The Chinatown in Paris is composed of Ivry Street, Choisy Street and Tolbiac Street. In Chinatown, there is a saying of "Double Officials and Two Xians". , the owners of Wenchang Clothing Firm on Tolbiac Street—Guan Kejian, Guan Kerong, Xian Hongyu, and Xian Dingshan.

Of course, there is no need to say that the Guan brothers are brothers. The signboards show that the two officials are brothers. In fact, there is no need to say much about the second Xian. They are all Wenchang brands, and they both have the surname Xian. Even if they are not biological brothers, they must be very close. Close, at least the same ancestral hall.

The one in Guan Kejian's office is Erxian, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be over a month away. The three parties are going to jointly hold a promotional event on the Dragon Boat Festival, and they are negotiating the details of cooperation just now.

"Weijie, what's the matter?" Guan Kejian asked after seeing Guan Weijie.

"Father, it's a small matter. You can talk to the two bosses first, and I'll report back later." Guan Weijie said, gave Erxian a good smile, and then left the office.

"Weijie and the two bosses Xian are about the same age, but they are far behind the two in doing things, and they are still frizzy." After Guan Weijie left, Guan Kejian derogated himself to the two Xians.

Xian Hongyu said with a smile: "Everyone in Chinatown doesn't know that Weijie is a young talent. If it weren't for the pressure from you two more powerful officials and bosses, he should have shined a long time ago. The double official and the second xian will be changed to the third official and the second xian. "

"Hahaha, Boss Xian loves you, Weijie needs to practice more."

After carrying a few words about the bridal sedan chair, the three of them brought the topic back to the main point. After the three of them finalized the matter, Guan Weijie returned to Guan Kejian's office.

"Dad, how are things going?"

"It went well. Xian Dingshan came up with a good idea. Combine the three stores, and the customers' consumption in the three stores will be accumulated. How much can be deducted when the consumption exceeds 50 francs, and how much can be deducted when the purchase exceeds 100 francs. In addition, you can send the other party Coupons, customers who consume here can receive coupons from the other two, and vice versa.

Xian Dingshan is amazing. The three of us are doing different fields, and there is no direct competition with each other. This kind of alliance is beneficial to everyone. "

After Guan Kejian finished speaking with emotion, he asked Guan Weijie, "What do you want me to do?"

Guan Weijie was reminiscing about the "full reduction" when he was suddenly woken up by Guan Kejian. He was taken aback for a moment and said, "Dad, Junhao called and said he was bullied in Cannes. He didn't speak clearly, but I guessed the general process - Junhao fell in love with someone else's girlfriend, and when he went to meet him, he was taught a lesson by the other party, and he called to ask for help."

Guan Kejian said unexpectedly, "Ask for help? Does he want our officials to send someone to teach him a lesson?"

"Probably that's what it means."

"It's just nonsense." Guan Kejian patted the coffee table hard, "What does he think of our official family? We are a serious businessman, not a member of the Green Gang. Being jealous is still dishonest. How did Gu Zhenghe raise such a son?"

"Father, calm down and send someone to teach the other party that we can't do it, but we still have to protect Junhao's safety. If something happens to him, we can't explain it to Uncle Gu."

"snort!"

Guan Kejian was sulking for a while, and when he calmed down, he said again: "Forget it, find two people to protect him, and persuade him to return to Paris as soon as possible. It is best to persuade him to return to Vientiane."

"Okay, I'll arrange it now."

Sophie Marceau was busy contacting various people in the film and television industry, and Nanyi seemed a bit in the way for the time being. Nanyi knew the interest and flew to the Netherlands to inspect the industry there.

The east side of the earth, Shenfeng.

Jiang Gui read a document, put it gently on the table, and said to a person sitting opposite him, "Chairman Cao, with all due respect, Deyao is nothing but rubbish."

Under the Shennong Nanliang system, a Shennong Wealth Group has just been established. The previous financial business of Shennong Nanliang has been spun off and injected into this group. It has three subsidiaries: Agricultural Finance, Agricultural Control Investment, and Agricultural Capital.

Agricultural Finance is mainly responsible for investment and speculation in the agriculture-related futures market. In the future, any financial investment by Shennong Nanliang will be initiated by it.

Agricultural Holdings is mainly responsible for the investment and shareholding of agricultural-related enterprises, as long as the enterprises linked to agriculture are within its investment scope, whether it is farming and animal husbandry, chemical fertilizers, pesticides or agricultural machinery.

The business of agricultural capital is relatively complicated. Agriculture requires a lot of supporting facilities and material supplies. Shennong Nanliang has its own chemical fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, and agricultural machinery supporting facilities. In addition, it also needs a series of water pipes, valves, films, glass, etc. product demand.

Not only in order to establish a stable supply channel, but also to be able to recover a little cost, and even make a small profit, Shennong Nanliang is also thinking about reaching out to the hen while eating eggs.

Deyao Glass is Shennong Nanliang's main supplier of glass for greenhouses. Recently, Deyao's capital chain has encountered problems, and its debt ratio has approached 70%. Chairman Cao Teller is in a hurry. God prayed to Buddha and wanted to seek the truth. It happened that Agricultural Capital sent a "Cooperation Notification Letter" to Deyao Glass.

For Cao Teller, it was falling asleep and meeting the pillow, and he was worrying about having no money. Didn’t you hear that Jiang Gui, the president of Agricultural Capital, was in deep sleep, so he rushed over quickly.

But who knows, Jiang Gui actually said that his Deyao is rubbish, Cao Teler can bear it or can't bear it, and just about to flick the cigarette butt in his hand in the other's face, Jiang Gui speaks again.

"Investors who like glass will invest in glass companies, and those who like real estate will invest in real estate, but a small company like yours is actually engaged in glass, decoration, real estate, and gas stations. Chairman Cao, Deyao's scale can be counted. Who would dare to buy your stocks if you don’t belong to a comprehensive group?”

Hearing Jiang Gui's words, Cao Teler's anger disappeared, and his face was replaced by blue and purple. After a long time, he recovered and said sincerely to Jiang Gui, "President Jiang, I sincerely ask you for advice, what should De Yao do next?"

Jiang Gui pointed to Nan Ruoqiong who had been standing next to him, "Pasi, my temporary assistant, Chairman Cao, don't look at her young age and financial issues, she is more professional than me, let her tell you."

Hearing this, Cao Teller glanced at Nan Ruoqiong again. When they first met, he had already noticed this little girl, and thought it was Jiang Gui who was a junior who taught by example. If Jiang Gui hadn't been vaccinated first, he would have I really thought the other party was joking.

"Aspirations are not at the age of age", Cao Teler could only comfort himself in this way, calmed down in an instant, and politely said to Nan Ruoqiong: "Assistant Passi, please advise."

Nan Ruoqiong said plainly: "Chairman Cao, a company can only write a good prospectus if it is specialized. technology, cost advantages, etc.

With the current situation of Deyao Glass, it is not suitable to enter too many fields at all. My opinion is to choose a field that you are best at and keep it, and reorganize all others. "

Most businessmen in China have a common problem: greed and over-conceit. They want to get a hand in whatever industry they see making money. After years of selective publicity and influence, "man will conquer nature" is regarded as the truth, and they feel that as long as they dare to do it, they can do anything. become.

Greed can also be found in Nanyi, but he is relatively better. Before entering, he has already prepared to eat a bite, and if he can’t eat, he will slip away and be mentally prepared. It is speculation, and he never thought about taking root. Besides, his capital is relatively strong, he can withstand losses, and he is playing with probability. For ten teacups, he has hundreds of pot lids, which can completely cover mistakes.

Cao Teller was different. He could only take out six lids out of ten teacups, and two of them were cracked. Once there was a chain crisis, he couldn't cover them at all, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Nan Ruoqiong's words gave Cao Teller an epiphany, "Yes, Deyao has done too much, especially the project of Deyao Industrial Village. I was really impulsive. I couldn't withstand the temptation of the real estate boom. After being encouraged, who knew that it would cost so much money when it was actually done, and the profit of the glass business is not enough to pay the interest on the real estate loan."

After trying to understand Deyao's crux and roughly thinking about what to do, Cao Teller put his shrewdness on him again, first thanked Nan Ruoqiong, and then said to Jiang Gui: "President Jiang, the current situation of Deyao You have already made it clear, is your company still interested in purchasing shares in Deyao?"

"There are still intentions, but there is a major premise. The project of Deyao Industrial Village must be separated from Deyao Glass. Our company is not optimistic about this project, and we can even say that it is very pessimistic about its prospects."

Cao Teller did not speak. Although real estate is still hot, Deyao Industrial Village has become a hot potato. Those who are familiar with this project are well aware that earlier, he was ready to sell this project, but how could it be so easy? ah.

"President Jiang, if Deyao Industrial Park is spun off, how many shares will your agricultural capital need to buy?"

Jiang Gui said calmly: "Chairman Cao, we can't decide on this yet. When Deyao reaches that stage, we will re-evaluate Deyao. Maybe it's just a symbolic investment, maybe we won't take a stake. Maybe we will no longer cooperate with Deyao, everything is possible, everything has to wait and see."

Cao Teler understood the meaning of Jiang Gui's words, exchanged a few pleasantries, and left in a hurry.

Nan Ruoqiong then left Jiang Gui's room and went back to her own room to study the information on Deyao Industrial Estate. She had an idea of ​​being a middleman and cooperating with the business of Deyao Industrial Estate.

Netherlands, Westland region.

In the Tulip Orchard Experimental Park under Wangmu Fruit Industry, the fig planting area, and Nanyi, there are a few people who don't have any peasant temperament around a strange machine.

I saw six boxy drones flying beside the machine, with cameras on top of their heads, a mechanical arm extending from one side, and power and data cables connected to the lower part.

The drone was flying up and down, and the camera on the head was constantly scanning and identifying immature figs. A man with glasses was in front of a computer, tapping his fingers and typing something.

Suddenly, after one of the drones scanned a fig, the claws on the robotic arm opened, covering the fig, and then closed again. The pedicle of the fig was cut off, the drone rotated, and the robotic arm aimed at the machine carrier in the middle , slowly lower the altitude, wait until the altitude is good, the mechanical arm opens, the figs fall into the carrier, the drone flies high again, and continues to scan the figs.

This machine is called Carrier, version 1.02. Nanyi prefers to call it "aircraft carrier". The name is inspired by the Protoss of "StarCraft" and "Red Alert". In terms of function, Carrier is an intelligent picking machine. The application of artificial intelligence technology is a part of Nan's unmanned strategy (unmanned factory, unmanned agriculture).

Constrained by the bottlenecks of artificial intelligence, battery, and chip technology, Carrier is still very primitive at present. It can be regarded as an experimental and exploratory product, and there is still a long way to go before commercialization.

After watching the aircraft carrier operate for a while, Nanyi turned around and lifted a strand of Dewen's beautiful hair, "I'm not used to seeing you have such smooth hair. The original dreadlocks look more pleasing to the eye."

Dewin smiled and said, "Boss, my girlfriend likes my hairstyle better."

"Aha, girlfriend, which one is this one?"

"I've had too many girlfriends, I can't count them, probably less than a thousand." Dewin said awkwardly.

"You should thank the Virgin Mary for making you a woman, otherwise, I will definitely teach you a lesson." Nan Yi hated what Dewen said.

"Aha, boss, are you sure you can beat me?" Dewin laughed provocatively.

"Don't be too confident. I haven't neglected to exercise all these years. As for you..." Nanyi looked up and down Dewen, especially staying on the raised twin peaks for a while, "Hmm, you seem to have changed your exercise direction."
