Rebirth started from educated youth in 1977

Chapter 1248 New OPEC
Loss, true loss.

Even though Stella has been on the battlefield for a long time, she still can't stand Nan Yi's harm.

"Mr. Nan, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to say such things to a lady?"

"No, I'm not hurting you, I just don't want you to waste your time. The me you see sitting on the gambling table is just to pick up girls. I never gamble, let alone play undercover."

"Mr. Nan, what will happen if we are seen by the police?" Stella smiled slyly.

Nan Yi patted Stella on the cheek, "You are a smart person, you won't do this, put on your skirt and sit back in your seat, let's finish this meal in a cheerful atmosphere."

Stella is a smart person who knows what to do and what not to do. Some things can be joked about, but if they can't be put into action, people will die.

She put on her skirt, sat back in her seat, and became a guest.

Nan Yi also looked like he was treating the host, and introduced two inconspicuous plates of green vegetables on the table to Stella.

"This is watercress, and this is nettle leaves, both of which come from the Himalayas in Nepal. There is no farmland within a hundred miles, no pesticides and fertilizers, no industry, no chemical pollution.

The two dishes are worthless in Nepal. Corn paste and nettle leaf paste are the staple food for the poor over there all year round, but they are worth a lot when shipped out. The pure green wild vegetables sell for 668 copies here. "

"Mr. Nan has a lot of research on eating?"

"I can't talk about research. It's just that I'm getting older and pay attention to health preservation. I prefer to eat pure green food. Women are the same. They prefer to be innocent and don't have so many stories." Della's dish.

Stella smiled and said, "In Mr. Nan's eyes, I belong to the one with more stories?"

Nan Yi nodded, "It's enough to make thousands of episodes."

"Mr. Nan is really choking when he talks." Stella said angrily.

"This is called sincerity, not hypocrisy."

Facing such shameless words, Stella was speechless.

Anyway, let go of bad thoughts, the meal will naturally be easier, and the ending can be regarded as a happy ending for the host and guest.

After eating, Nanyi went to the hotel to find KiKi, and the two went to the Luhuan area without casinos, admiring the literary buildings, strolling the Internet celebrity streets on the fifth day of October, shopping during the day, and going to the cinema to watch the French movie "Talking About Love" at night , Replenishing the Pot".

French films are always romantic and passionate, very suitable for watching "men and women in love". KiKi is a good child who loves to learn. She saw French wet kisses from the plot, and pulled Nanyi to imitate them in the theater. In order not to lose shape, she One of the eyes will stare at the screen, correcting posture and movements all the time.

The appointment lasted until 08:30, and Nanyi sent KiKi back to the hotel.

Then, the next afternoon continued, it was almost still shopping + dinner + movie, and the third day was still the same.

This life lasted for four days. On the fifth day, Nanyi did not take KiKi shopping. Instead, he went to the venue of Ponte [-] Resort to attend the venture capital roundtable forum.

It is a closed forum of more than [-] capital organizations in China. There are no news reports, no advertisements, no banners on the scene, and no clichés. The exchanges are all dry goods.

Because no matter which company the participants belong to, no matter what the parent company above the company is called, the source of the parent company is the financial group of the Intelligence Policy Committee.

Nan's style is to enter the village quietly and not to shoot. Most of the participants from different companies did not know that they had a big boss in common. They only thought that it was a small circle formed by the promotion of their predecessors. .

Deleveraging is a signal, which means that the economy is about to enter a depression period, and most old tracks will face no new growth points. For investors, this means that there is no way to tell a story, no story to tell, There is also no chance of attracting popular offers, and there is a very big risk in investment if no one takes over the offer.

Withdrawing from the old track that is about to decline and opening up a new track is a problem that every capital must face.

Since it is named after the forum, it is natural for everyone to express their opinions. The venture capital roundtable forum is more free than the usual forum. It does not matter who is the expert guest who speaks. Everyone sits in a circle. Whoever wants to speak can go to the center and pick up the microphone and start speaking directly. Anyone who wants to ask a question or rebut can raise their hand, and the speaker must answer or debate.

The forum has no size, only investment truth.

This is true in theory, but in reality there is no human connection. At the beginning of the forum, the first person to speak can only be Luo Shensen, who has the highest status and the most senior qualifications among all the people.

Although Whitewater Investment was established early, it is not well-known among the public. It is similar to investing in a certain company, and the news that it has earned thousands of times has nothing to do with it.

Baishui Investment will only invest in some technology-based start-up companies in the early stage according to Nanyi's vision. For example, Changxu, the earliest investment company, is a company that produces fishing rods. With the financial support of Baishui, it launched the first carbon fishing rod in China. , Then entered the upstream carbon fiber composite material field, broke through the mass production technology of carbon fiber, broke the international blockade, slapped the face of the expert group that had been inactive for 40 years, and entered the 863 plan, was led by the Ministry of Science and Technology to communicate technology within the industry, and domestic carbon fiber rose.

Baishui Investment has made a few similar investments and helped the country fill several gaps. Nanyi's feelings were satisfied and he no longer interfered with Baishui Investment's affairs. Luo Shenshen put it on the right track.

Before the rise of the Internet, Whitewater Investment supported many technology companies. After the rise of the Internet, Whitewater Investment has already transformed. It rarely invests in projects directly, but invests in capital and lends the hen to others to lay eggs.

Because of this, the public only hears about Hillhouse Sequoia, and they don’t hear too much news about Whitewater’s investment. But in the industry, everyone knows that Whitewater’s investment is a potential aircraft carrier in the water, and it is also the material for gossip. The projects invested in are quite strange.

Enterprises that revolve around urine quietly collect urine from the toilets in the dormitory areas of schools and large factories, and secretly carry out urine recycling business among pregnant women.

Enterprises revolving around excrement purchase all kinds of excrement from all over the world to make food, medicine, paper towels, fertilizers, and spices.

The concept of new energy is in full swing for companies that revolve around farts. There are many companies investing in research on electricity and hydrogen. This company has a different approach and focuses on farts.

Most people know that as long as the farts are not emitted from human mouths, their components contain methane, and almost all animals fart, especially ruminant livestock are big farters. The energy converted from the fart collected from a cow every day can be used for A car travels for 24 hours.

If a low-cost way to collect farts is developed, a truly clean energy source will be born.

This is WhiteWater Investment's weird shit investment strategy. In addition, it will also invest in other fields that are also unappealing and weird. Without producing any returns, it will inevitably be criticized by peers for jokes.

However, these cannot change the fact that Baishui Investment is a giant in the industry. You can make jokes in private, but you still have to call Big Brother in person. On occasions like today, Luo Shenshen will definitely be the first to speak.

Luo Shenshen walked to the center and picked up the microphone, "I will share a story with you. I remember that in May 2004, I went to Yangcheng to discuss a project. The communication was relatively smooth, and the work ended one day earlier than expected.

At that time, the weather in Yangcheng was fine, and it happened that there was not much work at hand, so I went to visit Boss Xiang, who made the vegetable package.

Boss Xiang and I are old acquaintances. We met at fellow villagers’ gatherings when we were studying in the United States. We drank a lot that day, and a group of people sat together and imagined the future. Everyone dreams of entering a large company related to their major. , only Boss Xiang is an exception, he is studying finance, but his dream is to return to China to sell vegetables.

Apparently, his dream came true. "

Luo Shenshen's words made everyone laugh out loud. At the same time, everyone also guessed what the topic of Luo Shenshen's speech was.

"Boss Xiang studied finance. What he said about selling vegetables is not the same as other vegetable vendors." Luo paused deeply, "What's different? I believe I don't need to say more. Vegetable buns are already famous. Everyone here should be familiar with its development history.

At that time, I came to Boss Xiang's office, and he happened to be receiving the relationship between the bank, because it was an old acquaintance, he didn't let me avoid it, but introduced me to the relationship between the bank, so that I had the opportunity to hear what the two were talking about .

The two were talking about a mortgage loan project. Vegetable packs need to buy a large number of shops. The basic method is to buy a part of the shops with their own funds, and then mortgage the loan to buy and then mortgage.

After the bankers left, I asked Boss Xiang: Are you optimistic about rising house prices?

He answered me: Yes, house prices will soar, and so will the rents of shops. Vegetable bag franchisees will be under increasing rental cost pressure. In order to reduce their burden, the company will set up shop locations at franchisees’ current business addresses or Buy nearby shops and rent them to them at a lower price.

I asked him again: Are you doing charity?

He smiled and answered me: No, I am robbing the rich to give to the poor, giving rent subsidies to franchisees, and making up for the loss of vegetable bags from rising housing prices.

I said: Even if the house price will rise sharply as a whole, not every region will rise. How can you ensure that you don’t lose money?

He replied: Shops are not sold in every area. In areas where housing prices are predicted to rise but not too much, Vegetable Pack is going to change its business model.

I don’t need to elaborate on this business model. Last year, everyone should have contacted with community group buying financing cases. In fact, as early as 2004, Vegetable Pack was already operating the community group buying model, but compared to today’s community group buying, Vegetable Pack’s The model is relatively closed, the team leaders are all franchisees, and there are more ancillary services. "

At this time, someone raised his hand to speak.

"Mr. Luo, Vegetable Bao is not a listed company. It has never disclosed whether the stores it holds have been realized. Do you know the situation?"

Luo Shenshen replied: "In 2013, Vegetable Pack began to sell the stores it held. In the first quarter of 2016, all the stores it held were sold out, and Vegetable Pack made a profit of about 20 billion. After that, Vegetable Pack transformed into a comprehensive community group purchase. operate.

The previous franchisees turned into distributors, serving the group leaders in a region, and implemented their internal strategy named [-]—the distributors and group leaders share [-]% of the profits, and the vegetable packs only take the remaining [-]%. "

"Uncle, is this Mr. Luo selling vegetable buns?"

As their understanding deepened, KiKi's title for Nan Yi transitioned from brother Ying to old man, and then to uncle.At present, this title is relatively stable and there is no sign of change for the time being.

Nanyi patted the back of KiKi's hand, "Just keep listening, don't forget that you still owe me a lot of money, maybe you can hear a good business opportunity here, and you can earn it back soon. "

"Oh." KiKi sat upright, pretending to be listening carefully.

"I brought up the vegetable bag to bring up the topic of community group buying. Last year, the financing market of community group buying was extremely hot. More than ten community group buying platforms such as Shixianghui, Shihuituan, Qian Dama, and Xingshengyou had more than 20 financings. , The scale of financing exceeded 40 billion.

I want to say that most of these financings are blind. Do the entrepreneurs of community group buying have any experience working in the retail industry?

Do you understand vegetables?

Do you know the loss rate of vegetables in transportation?
Do you know fresh meat and fish?
Do you know the cost of freezing and refrigerating fresh meat and fish?
Do you understand logistics?

Do you know how to reasonably plan the logistics network?Have you ever made any predictions about the pressure that rising oil prices will bring to logistics costs?

Do you understand quality control?

Do you know how to detect and control the quality of goods?Have you made a plan for handling quality incidents?

Most entrepreneurs still follow the old path of Internet projects, just move the vegetable market online, and then burn money to spread the stalls, burn money to provide subsidies, without intensive cultivation, only to kill competitors or be killed.

At present, the prospect of community group buying is not very clear, so Internet giants with massive data and advanced algorithms are still waiting to see. Once the prospect is clear, will they end up snatching the traffic of cabbage and fruit?
Facing the competition from these giants, does the current platform have a magic weapon?

On the way to Omen, I deliberately took a detour from Yangcheng and asked Boss Xiang a similar question in person.

His answer is that he is not afraid of the competition of any giants. Vegetable packages have already opened up the entire chain. Every vegetable, every fish, and every fruit can be traced back to the source, and most of the fresh products are vegetable packages. The interests of companies that hold or hold shares have long been integrated. "

boom!
This information had a great impact on the people present. There is such a potential dragon in the field of community group buying. How should other companies compete with it?

Some of them presided over the financing project of group buying in the community last year. Now that Luo Shenshen said, their investment risk is not ordinary.

One by one raised their hands and asked various questions in one go, one question and one answer, and then turned into a group discussion. The friendly collision of different views turned into a gunpowder-flavored debate, and the venue quickly became lively.

KiKi finds it very interesting. It turns out that quarreling among investment elites is no different from shrews swearing at the street, except that there are some hard-to-understand professional terms besides swear words.

Nan Yi enjoys this kind of quarrel. The truth does not compromise with each other, but needs to be debated. The more you argue, the clearer the truth will be. If you don’t come up with something that can convince others, who can guarantee that you are right? Intuitive proof?

When the topic of group buying in the community ended and someone changed the topic to real estate, Nanyi took KiKi and left the venue.

It’s no secret to some people that the real estate industry is full of crises and hard to get back, but they all understand that this kind of news should not be scattered, and that they have invested in this area, and they should just dispose of it quietly. , If you don't get it all right, you'll have to take a punch.

Besides, it is difficult for one person to swallow a pile of shit, but it is much easier to ask hundreds of people to divide it up. There is great power in numbers, and it is always the truth.

Sometimes it seems that a crisis may actually dissipate invisible.

After leaving the meeting place, Nan Yi and his wife went to Luhuan again. They rented a Dan family fishing boat near the seaside huts, drove a few hundred meters into the sea, and found a relatively quiet place to set up a fishing rod.

I caught and cooked it now, and enjoyed a feast of sea fish on the boat.

……

Kuningan, South Jakarta.

On the 52nd floor of "Gama Tower", in Nan Ruoqi's office of C&S Indonesia branch, Nan Ruoqi stood in front of the window enjoying the night view of Jakarta.

A few minutes ago, she made a call to Nan Youqiong, but the other party hung up and just sent back a message, saying that he was in a meeting in Santiago, the capital of Chile, and would call back later.

At this moment, she was guessing what kind of meeting Nan Youqiong was attending.

The Nan family’s industries in Chile are only fruit, minerals, and tourism. The investment in tourism is relatively small, so it’s not enough for my brother to run to a meeting. The fruit industry has matured a long time ago, and there are no meetings. Only minerals need meetings. There is a large investment in Chile's lithium industry.

“Is there going to be big changes in the lithium industry?”

The lithium industry is indeed very likely to undergo major changes. The meeting that Nan Youqiong attended was an informal briefing held by the Chilean Ministry of Energy. In response to a business blow, or to test the possibility of nationalizing lithium mines, Chile wants to establish a public-private partnership under state control.

The purpose of doing so is to prepare for the next larger plan "Lithium Triangle OPEC".

What OPEC is, the lithium miners participating in the meeting understand it, and they are happy to see it, but there is a premise that their interests cannot be infringed, otherwise, no matter whether it is OPEC or OPEC, they all disagree and want to forcibly collect it. Mom, let's try it, believe it or not, support a lithium mining party to stage a coup?

The Lithium Triangle OPEC is a big plan. Chile only has a preliminary idea and has not yet formed a consensus internally, let alone ventilate the other two corners, Argentina and Bolivia.

As for why it is not suitable to find lithium miners to give advice, this involves the left-right partisan struggle and the presidential election in Chile. Some people want to use the lithium triangle OPEC as their own weight.

After Nan Youqiong participated in the briefing, he sat down with other lithium miners. They exchanged opinions with each other, and they dispersed after roughly forming an offensive and defensive alliance.

After returning to the residence, Nan Youqiong took a nap before calling Nan Ruoqi back.

"Little girl, did you disturb your rest?"

"I'm still in my office in Jakarta."

"Why don't you use the good time at night to fall in love, I have already prepared your wedding gift for you."

"The Xiongnu are not destroyed, how can they call themselves home?"

"Aha, what do you want from me?"

Nan Ruoqi talked about the nickel ore export ban, "I need more accurate information, brother, help me establish a communication channel."

Nan Youqiong thought for a while, "Tomorrow morning in Jakarta, I will ask the person in charge of the oil & mining team in Indonesia to find you, and he will help you."

Nan Ruoqi smiled and said, "Do you need me to say thank you?"

"No need, you are the youngest, and the whole family will spoil you."

"Hee hee, brother, what meeting were you having just now?"

Nan Youqiong told the truth.

Nan Ruoqi got a little inspiration after listening, "Brother, there are three main types of global new energy vehicle battery production: lead-acid batteries, nickel batteries and lithium batteries. The world's largest nickel countries include Indonesia, Australia, Canada, the Philippines, Russia, Brazil, do you think it is possible for Indonesia to take the lead in OPEC for nickel mining?”

Nan Youqiong thought for a moment and said: "It is possible that since 2014, Indonesia has been continuously adjusting its mining policy in order to increase the added value of products and maximize the potential for mining mineral resource wealth.

In the same year, Indonesia issued a ban to completely prohibit the export of unprocessed raw ores. Various raw ores, including nickel ore and bauxite, must be smelted or refined locally before they can be exported.

In 2017, Indonesia released nickel ore exports, but imposed restrictions on export quotas and ore grades. Now you hear the wind of nickel ore export bans again. Maybe Indonesia has made it clear that it will get rid of the simple role of raw material supply and become an electric vehicle industry. As a deep participant in the chain, think deeply..."

Nan Ruoqi took over the topic, "In April last year, Indonesia put forward the Indonesian Industry 4 roadmap, planning to take the food and beverage industry, automobile industry, electronics industry, textile industry and chemical industry as leading industries.

Indonesia is increasing its support for the automobile industry. According to the current development speed, Indonesia will soon become the second largest automobile producer in Southeast Asia after Thailand, and Indonesia is the largest automobile consumer in Southeast Asia. However, Japanese cars have an absolute advantage in Indonesia, accounting for more than [-]% of the market share.

Brother, Indonesia has a lot of resources needed to produce electric vehicles, do you think it will also participate in the global wave of electrification? "

Nan Youqiong picked up the cigar on the ashtray and took a puff, "The right time, place and people are all in place, the possibility is very high, the family's small lithium battery, Gustav and Fuwu companies have built factories in Indonesia a few years ago , do you understand the purpose of doing this?"

"Understood, brother, I am planning to lay out the LME nickel futures in London, and I may need your help."

Nan Youqian smiled lightly, "You can ask for money or people at any time, even if you ask me to unplug the LME's network cable, it's fine."

"Hee hee, unplugging the network cable is a shame, I don't want it."

"Haha, old Adam hasn't called me for a long time, is he still in Omen?"

"Daddy was in Omen four days ago. I don't know now. You can call your little niece and ask."

"OK, rest early."

"Goodbye, brother."

Four days later, Nan Zehang's math class came to an end. Nan Yi asked KiKi to wait for him in Xiangtang. He sent Nan Zehang back to Beijing and then reunited with her.
