Counterflow 92: Ditching the School Flower at the Start and Building a Trillion Empire

In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 429 Vocational school students no longer receive subsidies

Lin Yifeng hummed a tune softly as he left Pang Donglai.

...

The winter of 1993 was colder than usual.

Lin Yifeng, wrapped in a down jacket, walked onto the street and felt the cold wind whistling into his chest.

The trees lining the streets were bare, and there were hardly any fallen leaves on the ground.

Lin Yifeng was walking down the street when he suddenly felt like going back to Hebei Vocational University for a stroll.

Why did you suddenly decide to go back to Hebei Vocational University?

Lin Yifeng laughed it off. He was only 20 years old, so why was he already feeling nostalgic?

Could it be that the old Deng Xiaoping ideas from his past life are starting to influence him again?

"Let's go back to Hebei Vocational University for a stroll."

"Look at your alma mater, and see if there are still many students there."

"Let's also check out how business is at Mixue Ice Cream Shop inside Hebei Vocational University."

Lin Yifeng didn't drive or ride a bicycle. He didn't even take his bulky mobile phone. Instead, he took a small pager and boarded the bus.

In 1993, with the implementation of reform and opening up, the wave of layoffs among state-owned enterprise workers was accompanied by economic stimulus.

Ordinary people are significantly wealthier than they were in 1992.

but.

The average wealth of ordinary people still lags behind that of those who venture out into the world.

A bicycle that was expensive in 1992 was still expensive in 1993, and for those getting married this year, the dowry and betrothal gifts are still the same three items.

Three turns and one sound!

Riding a bicycle to Hebei Vocational University would attract a lot of attention, so Lin Yifeng decided to walk there.

His trip was simply to get away and relieve the fatigue of the past year.

The bus travels very slowly, stopping at every station to pick up passengers.

As the bus gradually approached Hebei Vocational University, more and more students boarded, and the bus was immediately filled with a vibrant atmosphere of youth.

"Oh dear, the exam is in a few days, and I feel like I still have so much to review. What should I do? What should I do?"

"I told you to review in advance, but you didn't. Now you'd better start memorizing."

"There are so many people at Pang Donglai! Is this what a big city is like? I've never seen such a small shop with so many people."

"What do you mean 'small shop'? This is a supermarket, not a small shop!"

"Mixue Ice Cream's milk tea is really too expensive. I'll just buy Xiangpiaopiao milk tea instead. It's much cheaper than Mixue Ice Cream."

"But Mixue Ice Cream's milk tea is delicious, and you can even redeem Three Kingdoms Kill cards by buying Mixue Ice Cream milk tea, while Xiangpiaopiao doesn't offer any!"

"Yeah, yeah, let's save up for Mixue Ice Cream milk tea. Xiangpiaopiao is cheaper, but it's not as good as Mixue Ice Cream. It always gives me the feeling of being a second-rate product."

"That's exactly right!"

Inside the bus, the students chattered excitedly. Lin Yifeng, sitting in the back, listened to their discussion with a deep smile on his face.

Regardless of the era.

The topics discussed by the students were basically unrelated to their studies.

The students who boarded the bus basically didn't discuss anything related to their studies; they talked about everything else.

Among them, Wallace, Mixue Ice Cream, Pang Donglai, Three Kingdoms Kill, and Longteng Game Hall are popular keywords.

"Unbeknownst to me, I have already begun to influence everyone's lifestyle and consumption habits."

Sitting in the back row, Lin Yifeng felt quite proud.

In his past life, although he had a net worth of over 100 million, in the grand scheme of the country, he was just a tiny, insignificant karami. Not to mention affecting people's lifestyles and consumption habits, even his own employees didn't remember him much.

Simply put, Lin Yifeng in his previous life was much stronger than most ordinary people, but he was just from an ordinary middle-class family, and his influence was not as great as that of a county magistrate.

In this life, Lin Yifeng has begun to gradually influence everyone's lifestyle and consumption habits.

After all, getting people into the habit of drinking milk tea, eating Wallace's, and going to shopping malls in 1993 was no easy feat.

These days, most villages still have supply and marketing cooperatives!

"I've essentially killed off the supply and marketing cooperative ahead of time..."

In the normal course of development in the previous life, in villages or counties, supply and marketing cooperatives basically evolved into small individual shops, and then gradually small supermarkets and shopping malls appeared.

Lin Yifeng, on the other hand, started directly with supermarkets and shopping malls!

The bus slowly drove towards Hebei Vocational University. Perhaps because the holiday was approaching, the students on the bus were very lively. Lin Yifeng sat in the back row, listening to the students chattering, and felt that he was being healed.

Being a student is still the best.

Innocence, youth.

There aren't that many twists and turns.

Compared to those unscrupulous businessmen outside, it's so much easier to get along with students.

"Ya'er, are you going to play arcade games during the holiday? The arcade games at Longteng Arcade are safe and fun, let's go together!"

"Old Xiao, I'm not going, I'm not going. I have to go home and work, otherwise I won't even be able to afford tuition next year."

"How could we not even afford the tuition? That shouldn't be happening!"

"There was nothing I could do. My family is poor. I was hoping that if I went to vocational school, I'd get a subsidy and be able to earn some money... Sigh, who would have thought..."

The student, nicknamed Ya'er, sat not far from Lin Yifeng, sighing and complaining.

"Who knew the school would stop giving us subsidies?"

kindness?

Are vocational school graduates no longer receiving subsidies?

Lin Yifeng stared blankly at Ya'er, whose face was full of bitterness.

That year, Lin Yifeng was busy with his career and rarely had contact with students. He never expected that before 1994, vocational school students would no longer receive subsidies.
