Chapter 193: Yang Mi Runs Away in Anger
Hu Lin is already 28 this year.
He has an older brother and a younger brother.
The older brother is over 30 and stopped studying after graduating from elementary school.
It was also thanks to his older brother that he could study peacefully from the countryside to the big city of Beijing.
Those who understand the countryside understand it.
Let alone a teacher in Beijing, even if he was admitted to a university in Beijing, he would be well-known in the whole village.
Hu Lin doesn't like socializing very much, mainly because when he was in college, many classmates looked down on him as a real rural person.
So, after graduation, he rarely contacted his former classmates.
After working for a few years, he saved most of his money and gave it to his family.
The remaining money was used to buy this Corolla in installments. His acquaintance with Chen Qi was purely accidental.
When he hit her car, he always felt that he would lose a year's salary.
Of course, he knew Porsche.
But he didn't expect that he would not want him to pay for it after meeting a good person.
Hu Lin did not leave with a responsible attitude, and took the initiative to take her to repair the car.
The two of them met in this way, and later met her mother. Peng Ying liked him very much.
Now she met her brother again, and it seemed that what she said was just a little bit of money was not quite right.
He could have dinner with first-line celebrities, so he must have a lot of money.
He didn't know how much money he had.
"Brother, haven't we reached that stage yet?" Chen Qi blushed.
"You are not young anymore. Love is as illusory as cotton wool."
Chen Pingsheng said: "If you think it is suitable, then get married. Only then can the relationship be truly stable for the children's life."
Young people nowadays like to date for three or four years before getting married.
Facts have proved that those who like to date for such a long time are basically gone.
In the old generation, if the two families met and it was okay, they could get married immediately.
Not many people divorced.
On the contrary, the divorce rate is getting higher and higher after free love now.
Yang Mi secretly felt that she shouldn't have come to this meal. She always felt that Chen Pingsheng was a bastard.
He kept hinting at her.
Mi, you are not young anymore.
You don't even have a date who's older than my sister, how can you be ashamed?
It's the 21st century, but this guy still seems to be living in the 1990s.
If she hadn't been well-mannered and knew that this was someone else's family affair, she wouldn't have interfered.
She would have jumped up and kicked him.
The gap between the two is still too big, and it will take some time for them to really get along.
Fortunately, Chen Qi is not like Chen Anan, whose family became rich after she was a few years old.
She is used to spending lavishly.
She didn't become rich until she came to Beijing and relied on her brother.
So, the person she subconsciously likes is still similar to the one she had before.
Compared with the previous one, Chen Pingsheng is quite satisfied with Hu Lin.
The main reason is that his mother Peng Ying has nagged her several times, saying that teachers are a sacred profession.
It can't be measured by money.
Sometimes Chen Pingsheng really wants to tell her, are you still living in the past?
Which teacher doesn't give extra lessons now?
Hu Lin was stunned, he didn't expect it to be so direct.
Chen Qi pulled him aside. She had said several times that if the two wanted to be together, her brother's consent was necessary.
In this situation, her brother had obviously agreed.
But, he couldn't come up with the gift?
To be honest, only people with poor families would ask for a high price.
In the name of traditional etiquette, they were selling their daughters.
In the past, if you married someone from a poor family, you were blessed.
Because girls from such families would help you with whatever you did.
They were really hardworking.
Now, marrying a girl from a poor family is just like that.
It's all about poverty alleviation.
Take hundreds of thousands of gifts first, and there are still a lot of things waiting for you to spend money.
As for Chen Qi, why would she ask for a gift?
I guess she would have to pay for one or two houses in Beijing.
Hu Lin didn't expect that this relationship would develop so quickly. Except for being a little unconfident, everything else was very easy.
Because you don't have to buy a house in Beijing, and you don't have to prepare a gift.
In fact, Chen Pingsheng also investigated this person before he agreed so quickly. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would not have asked for this first.
It's not like his sister can't get married.
Finding a reliable and honest elementary school teacher seems to be quite suitable for his younger sister.
As for the marriage between the two families later, let's wait until his elders come.
Back to the company, Yang Mi started to be angry and act like a little bit.
Chen Pingsheng ignored her.
This woman is not young anymore. In addition to being very beautiful and having a very D-cup chest.
Her legs are a bit long and she is very profitable.
It seems that there are no other advantages.
But Yang Mi still asked him, "Chen Pingsheng, your sister is so rich, you let her find such a man with an annual salary of only 100,000 to marry, aren't you afraid of hurting her?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Chen Pingsheng raised his hand to drive Yang Mi, who was sitting on his desk, away, "She chose the person herself, not me. Besides, I am just her brother, not her father. She doesn't like me being too controlling."
"Okay."
Yang Mi was wearing a hip skirt, one side reached the knee, and the other side was above the knee, which was very fashionable.
"You are quite open-minded."
"What can I do if I can't think it through? My mother agreed. What right do I have to disagree?"
Chen Pingsheng asked her curiously, "No, when did you, Queen Yang, care about these things?"
"Isn't that just to chat with you? I'll be leaving in the afternoon, see you in Shanghai."
Yang Mi carried her small bag, put on her sunglasses and left without any love.
After Chen Pingsheng returned home, Hu Lin actually came to his house with a lot of gifts.
There were apples and bananas.
And Chen Qi said that her sister-in-law liked to eat durian, so he bought a big durian.
After coming here, he obviously felt less confident.
This was completely inconsistent with what Chen Qi said that her brother had only a little money.
He actually lived in such a beautiful courtyard house, and he could grow vegetables at home.
The key location was still in Nanluoguxiang.
"Brother, you're back."
"I'm back."
"Hu Lin brought some things to see you."
"I know, your sister-in-law will be back soon, let her cook at home."
Chen Pingsheng didn't say much, Hu Lin felt that he looked down on him a little.
In fact, no matter what Chen Pingsheng did, he would have this feeling.
The gap between the rich and the poor cannot be solved by a few words of concern.
I can only rely on time to slowly kill time.
Besides, what do you want him to talk to you about?
Chen Pingsheng himself couldn't think of it.
But he knew that after coming to this big yard, my younger sister's boyfriend would only feel more disappointed.
This is a very normal emotion.
Chen Pingsheng called his wife and said that my younger sister couldn't bring her boyfriend home without someone to receive him.
That would be very impolite.
As for his mother Peng Ying, she had already gone out to play with Liu Fen and the children.
She was on her way back.
Song Yanxi was still very elegant. Any outfit of a woman was worth hundreds of thousands. How could she not have elegance?
Women still rely on clothes. She bought some vegetables politely.
She also went to the kitchen to cook four dishes and a soup.
After Peng Ying came back, Hu Lin was a little more normal.
Not so nervous, because he had met Peng Ying before.
The elders liked him, and this was the best result.
As for other things, they couldn't be forced.
Even Song Yanxi knew that the gap brought by this family was far from being solved by eating a meal.
It is destined to be reflected in all aspects of life in the future.
I hope Chen Qi can always have a good result.
Three days later.
Hu Lin's mother came to Beijing with his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Chen Pingsheng drove a Rolls-Royce to the airport to pick her up, and the old lady was shocked.
Chen Pingsheng politely introduced her to the big city of Beijing.
Then they went all the way to a big hotel they had booked in advance to discuss the marriage between the two.
Along the way, the old lady didn't say much.
After arriving at the hotel box, Peng Ying told her that she was also from the countryside, and the old lady's face was a little better.
Discuss the marriage.
The wedding of the two will be held in Beijing.
The man's family will also hold one.
As Chen Qi's brother, Chen Pingsheng will prepare a wedding house for the two of them.
A Mercedes-Benz S600 and two small storefronts.
The house is near Hu Lin's workplace, with a fine decoration of more than 200 square meters.
The man doesn't need to take a penny.
In addition.
They will also build a small villa for their parents in the countryside in their hometown. That’s all the dowry from the bride’s side.
It doesn’t need to be too much, Chen Qi is a billionaire himself.
Hu Lin’s mother asked if she needed to marry into the family.
If that’s the case, as long as her son can live well, she has no objection.
Peng Ying shook her head, saying that it’s totally unnecessary, as she has her own son.
The reason why she gave that was simply because her family was better off.
There’s really no other meaning.
It’s said that love is a matter between two people, and marriage is a matter between two families.
Chen Qi will also go to her hometown with Hu Lin, and Chen Pingsheng doesn’t care anymore.
If she can find someone she likes and has good character, he, as her brother, will be satisfied.
As for the rest, they can slowly work it out in the future.
Anyway, there is a world of difference between the two families now.
Didn’t you see that Hu Lin’s mother has been smiling and not talking?
Even if she asked, she only asked if she wanted to marry into the family.
If these two families are similar, how could it be possible?
Anyway, Hu Lin has achieved success with one marriage.
His elder brother is a relatively honest person who has been farming at home, and his sister-in-law is also quite nice.
It is a very honest family.
Chen Qi may be able to adapt to this kind of family, but Chen Anan will definitely not be able to adapt when she grows up.
It can be seen from her pocket money of several hundred thousand every month.
Habits formed since childhood cannot be changed because of one person.
…
The younger sister followed Hu Lin to his hometown.
Chen Pingsheng returned to his former life, going to get off work, going home to accompany his wife and watching the big fart baby.
The daily life soon reached the end of August.
After investigating the domestic coffee market, Lin Jia of Tenghui Capital gave him a detailed data report.
According to the survey, the customer group consuming coffee is mainly white-collar women, and there are all ages.
The majority are between 25 and 35.
In addition, in addition to the obvious difference between the consumer group of coffee and milk tea, coffee is also regarded as a petty bourgeoisie lifestyle.
Starbucks has mastered this area, which is why it is so popular all over the world.
Inside a coffee shop.
Chen Pingsheng rarely wears black sunglasses. He has been sitting here for a long time.
This coffee shop is not big, but it has its own characteristics.
Business is usually good. He drank coffee for ten days in a row, but he didn't get any petty bourgeoisie taste from it.
It's the same whether it's with sugar or not.
How can he open a coffee shop if he can't even touch the most basic threshold of coffee.
Just relying on money?
Don't make a fuss, there are many people in China who are richer than him.
He's just that far away.
Relying on celebrity resources?
Celebrities may be able to quickly attract young groups, but the audience of coffee is obviously urban white-collar workers.
These people have their own independent thinking, and celebrity resources are relatively less influential than milk tea.
He has always firmly believed that chasing stars is really a brainless thing.
No matter how good they act on TV, they don't know how chaotic they are in private.
This is also the reason why he has never made up his mind to open a coffee shop.
"Uncle, is the coffee made by my aunt particularly delicious?"
"Is it delicious?"
Chen Pingsheng asked a soul-searching question, which made the waiter in the store directly confused.
"Of course it tastes good, if it doesn't taste good, why do you come here every day?"
The girl is very confident, her business is quite good.
If you catch it at noon or just after get off work, there will be a queue.
This uncle is not good-looking, look at the way he drinks coffee, is he the same as those aunt's suitors?
Looking at him suspiciously, the girl asked: "Uncle, don't you have a job? Why do I think you have so much free time?"
Chen Pingsheng comes here every day, and he is a little familiar with her.
"How can you doubt that I don't have a job? Isn't there a possibility that I don't have to work because I'm a big boss?"
The little girl laughed, "Uncle, don't make me laugh. How can a big boss come to our small coffee shop to drink coffee every day?"
"You must have fallen in love with my aunt. Uncle, I have to remind you that although my aunt is pretty, she won't like you."
"Why don't you like me? Am I bad?"
"Not really. The main reason is that my aunt said that she would keep vigil for my uncle-in-law for five years. During these five years, she will definitely not have a boyfriend."
Widow?
Chen Pingsheng suddenly thought of this word, and then looked at the woman in front of him in a black tight dress with a low ponytail.
A wisp of bangs fell on both sides, and her face was estimated to be three and a half taels of chest.
It was indeed quite tempting.
Chen Pingsheng looked at her and said, "Your aunt treated your uncle very well during the five years of vigil."
"Of course, they have been together since college."
The girl didn't want to talk to him about this topic, and of course, Chen Pingsheng was not interested in chasing her to ask such questions.
He had seen too many beautiful women.
"Girl, I see your coffee is not cheap, it's 20 or 30 yuan a cup, and the taste is not as good as the Bobo milk tea next door, how come so many people like it?"
"Humph." Look at what he said, it directly irritated the girl, it was the first time he heard someone say in their store that the coffee was not as good as the eight yuan a cup of milk tea next door.
"Uncle, you are not saying this because you are angry after I exposed your true face, how can you compare coffee with milk tea?"
"Can't you compare?"
Chen Pingsheng thought they were similar anyway, one was a little bitter, and the other was sweeter and more milky.
Seriously speaking, he liked milk tea a little more.
But Tong Zelan said that he could make a coffee shop.
The valuation is at least 10 billion, or even up to several billion.
If he could make a company worth several billion, he could use the golden finger to randomly increase the value.
Dare to think about this?
"Of course, we can't compare. Milk tea is sold to young consumers, while coffee is sold to customers with quality."
In the eyes of the girl, the biggest difference between coffee and milk tea is obviously the grade.
Chen Pingsheng thought about it and said, "Pack three more cups for me, and I'll take them to my colleagues."
"Okay." The girl was only free at three or four in the afternoon, and she would be busy again at five o'clock.
After get off work, many people from nearby companies would come to order a cup of coffee from them.
As soon as she entered, she told her aunt about this strange uncle.
He said that their coffee was not good, but he came to drink it every day.
It was really strange.
At first, the aunt just glanced at him and didn't pay much attention.
Later, when the store was not busy, she thought of coming over to ask which taste he didn't like.
Seriously speaking, Chen Pingsheng didn't think any coffee was good.
He thought this would be the biggest difficulty in his coffee business.
"Sir, can I ask you what you think about our coffee that is not to your taste?"
"Oh~ You may have misunderstood, I just simply can't taste the goodness of coffee."
Chen Pingsheng said truthfully, "A friend suggested that I open a coffee shop, but I can't taste its goodness. Do you think it will be difficult for me to run a coffee shop well?"
Aunt Qin Xue was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect to get such an answer.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely ask him to leave at this time.
Because isn't it obvious that he came to inquire about their news?
Qin Xue sat opposite him and smiled lightly, "You are quite sincere."
"That's because I don't need to deceive the owner of a small coffee shop."
Well... Qin Xue felt a sense of confidence in this sentence, and at the same time, it was also a contempt for herself.
In his eyes, she was not his competitor.
Qin Xue said, "I drank my first cup of coffee when I was in college. At that time, I went to Starbucks with my classmates. They all said it was delicious, but I didn't think it was delicious at all. But in order not to let others see it, I still told them that this cup of coffee was delicious."
"You can tell your preferences truthfully, which proves that you don't need to deliberately gain recognition through these things."
"In fact...I really think coffee is delicious after graduating from college and going to work. I realized its goodness. At that time, many colleagues liked it. I followed them and bought it several times. Then I slowly liked its taste. It is bitter first and sweet later. It needs to be tasted slowly. It is also a habit. When you get used to drinking it, it is difficult to quit."
Qin Xue believes that the biggest difference between coffee and milk tea is addiction.
Just like people in Hunan like to eat betel nuts, you give this thing to outsiders to chew.
They will feel something strange.
Not only does chewing hurt the mouth, but it is also uncomfortable.
But Hunanese people like it very much because it is addictive.
Even if you want to quit, it is difficult.
This is almost the same as coffee. People who are used to it have to drink a cup every day.
People who are not used to it will only think it is not worth it.
Coincidentally, those white-collar workers in enterprises like to drink it.
Chen Pingsheng understood and seemed to understand why he didn't like it.
If you are not addicted, you can't say you like it.
It's the same as betel nut.
The biggest advantage of coffee over milk tea is that it has high customer stickiness.
The repurchase rate is also very strong.
