Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 1423 1426【Investment】

   Hearing what Xiang Nan said, many people nodded.

  They originally wanted to stay in the capital, but some were afraid of wolves and tigers.

   Afraid of not being able to stay, and also afraid of not being able to go back, all I owe is being pushed.

  Xiang Nan's words just gave them the confidence to stay firm in the capital.

   "If you don't have a place to live for the time being, I have two courtyards available, you can settle there first." Xiang Nan said again, "Get used to the environment in the capital, stay if it suits you, and go back if it doesn't suit you."

  In 1982, the state promoted housing reform, changing from the distribution system to the subsidized sale system. Later, it stipulated that the state land should be transferred with compensation to promote market-oriented reforms.

  As a result, the sale and lease of houses has changed from strict prohibition to gradual liberalization. Xiang Nan was worried that the funds in his hands would be idle, so after the real estate policy was liberalized, he bought several courtyard houses within the second ring road.

  It was very cheap when he bought it. The 500-square-meter courtyard is located in the second ring road, and the price is only 100,000 yuan, which is as cheap as it is for free. If it is not demolished, it will not be able to get 100 million after 30 years.

   Hearing what he said, everyone was naturally happy.

  To be honest, one of their concerns about staying in Beijing is that they have nowhere to stay. Staying in a hotel all the time is not an option, but if you want to rent a room, you have no connections, and you don't know how deep it is.

   Now that Xiang Nan can help them find a place to live, it is really great.

   "Professor Cheng, thank you so much~", "Mr. Cheng, what should we say, thank you so much~" Everyone was very grateful.

   "You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

  …

   Later, with Xiang Nan's help, many people from the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" stayed.

   Among the twelve golden hairpins, Chen Xiaoxu, Deng Jie, Guo Xiaozhen (Shi Xiangyun), Hu Zehong (Xichun), Zheng Zheng (Mandarin Duck), Shen Lin (Pinger), Yuan Mei (Xiren) and so on.

  Among the male actors are Ouyang Fenqiang, Wu Xiaodong (Jia Yun), Hou Changrong (Liu Xianglian) and so on.

  Xiang Nan arranged for them to live in two courtyards, and borrowed his relationship to help them get several performances.

  In the 1980s, reform and opening up, the economy was invigorated, and the performance market was also extremely active. There are countless performances, large and small.

  Many singers and big names came out to make their fortunes at that time. Such as Na Ying, Zhang Mi, Mao Amin, Cheng Fangyuan, Hang Tianqi and so on.

  After a few performances, they earned a few thousand dollars, which is considered to have earned their living expenses for a year.

   "Teacher Cheng, thank you so much~" Everyone said gratefully.

  With a place to live and living expenses, they are at ease.

   "You're welcome, I can't help you too much, I can only help you find a way." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said with a smile, "You will have to go on your own in the future, think carefully about where you want to go.

  You are still young, you can consider studying, you can consider art, you can also consider doing business. A few young people can make a fortune selling big bowls of tea, what's the difference between you, right?

  Give yourself a little confidence, as long as you are willing to work hard, nothing is impossible in this society. "

  In 1979, after returning to Beijing, a few young people who could not find a job took the initiative to find business opportunities and sold big bowls of tea at Dashilan, Qianmen. A bowl costs two cents, and it sold for more than 60 yuan on the first day.

   Now those young people have established a trading company and are well-known big bosses. This is also the most vivid example of reform and opening up. As long as you are willing to use your brain and work hard, you will definitely be able to make money.

  After receiving Xiang Nan's encouragement, these young people also seemed to have been beaten up, and each of them cheered up, and they were inspired to make a career in the capital.

  …

Entering September, seeing that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was selling more and more popular, Xiang Nan also promptly produced the second book in the series "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and the English version was handed over to Random House Published, the Chinese version will be issued by the People's Publishing House.

  The launch of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" added fuel to the Harry Potter craze.

  After it was launched in the United States, the sales volume exceeded one million copies in the first week; it also achieved very good sales in English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

  The sales volume of the Chinese version in the mainland is also huge, but now that piracy in the mainland has risen, the sales of physical books are increasingly affected.

  Before, it was normal for Xiang Nan's novels to sell over one million. The most popular ones are "Educated Youth Trilogy", all of which have sold in the tens of millions. But now, the bestsellers are only in the millions, which is a big difference from before.

   Moreover, Xiang Nan knows that the sales of physical books will get worse and worse in the future, and even if they can sell hundreds of thousands of copies in the end, they will already be considered bestsellers.

  But no matter what, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is still tens of millions of royalties for Xiang Nan. And he also left this manuscript tax abroad for financial management and investment, but did not remit it.

  Because of the mainland's foreign exchange control, after his money comes in, he can't get out. But in the 1980s, there were still many good investment opportunities abroad, and he didn't want to miss them.

  So Xiang Nan sold all the author's remuneration to sell the stocks of Microsoft, Adobe and Oracle, which surprised many people.

  Because at that time, the value of software had not attracted enough attention. In the eyes of people, computer software is nothing more than a giveaway of the hardware.

   Just like a mobile phone, the operating system comes with the mobile phone and is free. Compared with software systems, mobile phone hardware is obviously more valuable.

  So even though Microsoft, Adobe, and Oracle are already the world's top software companies, their market value is still seriously underestimated.

   It wasn't until the 1990s, when Microsoft's Windows operating system dominated the world, that even the blue giant IBM could no longer contain it, that people began to realize the true value of software.

  It is not only a gift of hardware, but the soul and master of hardware. As a result, the value of software companies has soared, even surpassing those of hardware production companies.

  Therefore, Xiang Nan knew that it was a good opportunity for him to invest now.

   But others don't see it that way. It is completely insane to think that he invested so much money in software companies.

   "This young man is still too blind~"

  "Weakness is not an obstacle to survival, but ignorance and arrogance are."

   "What is the difference between him doing this and throwing money into the water?"

  Many people have said so.

  …

   Entering November, the filming of "Longing" is coming to an end, and it is about to wrap up.

  For Xiang Nan, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

  Because after the filming of the TV series, he and Zhu Lin will have more free time. But Zhu Lin's unit is the Emei Film Studio, and her filming in Yanjing is a work secondment.

  Once the filming and mission are completed, they will have to return to Emei. This is naturally very bad for Xiang Nan.

  Because he discussed with Zhu Lin and wanted to transfer her unit to the capital.

   "What do you think?" he asked with a smile.

   "So what if I can stay?" Zhu Lin gave Xiang Nan a resentful look.

  He is a married man, but he cannot marry her. She didn't want to be sneaky, and she didn't want to see the light, so it was destined to be fruitless.

   "If you stay, there will be hope." Seeing her saying that, Xiang Nan excitedly held her hand and said.

  Zhu Lin twitched and didn't twitch, so he had to let him.
