Chapter 196 New Arrivals at the Coffee Shop

Chen Pingsheng went to the kitchen to cook by himself.

The big brat next to her can help a little. When she was alone at home with no one to take care of her when she was a child, she would cook noodles for herself.

It doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not. The key is to fill your stomach and not cause trouble to your parents.

Now, apart from my poor grades, I don’t have any other shortcomings.

Big Butt helped him pick beans, and Chen Pingsheng cut meat and peppers.

Outside the yard, He Xingfu plucked all the chicken feathers and then quickly chopped it up. Chen Qi, who was standing by, also went to help her.

When Liu Fen and Peng Ying came back, the two middle-aged ladies had bought three particularly large Australian lobsters.

High-end ingredients often require the most unpretentious cooking methods.

Steam until cooked.

The two of them operated the Dragon and Tiger, just by watching the operations on Baidu.

After the meal was ready, his wife Song Yanxi also came back.

Song Wu was with her.

Song Wu is different now. Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that she has a strong background, and she is also called the Princess of the Beijing Circle.

The Beijing circle naturally refers to Tengying in Beijing, and she is also the only openly related person of Tengying at present.

This circle only refers to the entertainment circle.

Tencent Film is now second only to a few old-fashioned film groups, such as Huayi.

It is far ahead in the drama circle.

"Brother-in-law."

"It's good to have you all back."

September is the start of the school year, and the big brats are finally going to school.

Except for herself, everyone else is happy.

There is also the little brat, whose hair is very sparse.

Sit on the food cart and eat rice with your hands.

Chen Qi picked up some food for him and said, "Brother, my sister-in-law Xingfu and the others all want to stay in Beijing to make money. What do you think is suitable for her?"

How do I know what she is suitable for?

However, Chen Pingsheng still suggested that she go to Tengsheng Fresh Food, which should be quite suitable for the couple.

Brother Hu Lin was very happy that his sister-in-law's brother was easier to talk to than he had imagined.

They have never met such a rich person.

I was very nervous before coming here, but I didn't expect him to be so calm and collected.

"Thank you, brother. I'll give you a toast."

"Forget it, I don't dare drink the wine you offer."

Chen Pingsheng said to her, "You're getting married soon, so it's time for you to calm down and go back to work at Shuiyunjian."

Come to think of it, apart from her relationship problems, his younger sister never seemed to give him any worries.

It has been more than three years since I came to Beijing, and I am about to get married. The time flies so fast.

"Dad, I'll toast you too."

"What the hell are you toasting to?"

Chen Anan held up a glass of orange juice instead of wine. She shook her head and said, "Third grade is almost here. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be in the top 30 in the class this year."

He clapped his chubby little hands and kept making promises.

Chen Pingsheng handed her a piece of chicken butt and said, "If your dad hadn't known that each class in an international elementary school has no more than 25 students, I would have almost toasted with you."

There must be no more than 25 students in each class, and she has to swear to rank within 30?

Feeding her a chicken butt is overrated.

Chen Anan was dumbfounded. Are there so few students in that kind of class?

Not everyone can perform better than her, right?

We all pay high tuition fees, so it's impossible for everyone to be a good student.

There are always a few people like her who have no talent for studying.

When Chen Anan thought about this, she amused herself.

Chen Pingsheng ignored her. If he still had expectations for her performance, he would not have bought all the commercial storefronts of Tenghui Department Store.

The little brat can go to kindergarten only when he is three years old, which will take more than a year, so there is no rush.

My younger sister is suddenly planning to get married, and that’s a matter between two families.

By then, many relatives from my hometown will come.

It is understandable that Brother Hu Lin and his wife came to the capital.

Chen Pingsheng didn't care too much. It was all up to them to decide how successful Tengsheng Fresh Food would be.

Liu Fen also quietly asked him: "Pingsheng, when do you think is the best time to sell your Vanke shares?"

Chen Pingsheng was a little surprised. Why did she ask this question now? Didn’t she see that the equity battle in Vanke was still going on?

Baoneng spent tens of billions of yuan and frantically acquired shares through several insurance companies.

Hengda has also joined in the fun, investing tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars.

With so many big dealers fighting fiercely on the field, how could they give up halfway without determining the final winner?

But even so, he will sell Vanke in September.

Buy in May, sell in late September.

According to the current situation, we should be able to make a net profit of about 200 million yuan, plus the principal it is 350 million yuan.

Bobo Milk Tea will be listed next month, and he will definitely use this money to raise his own stock price.

There is no other reason. The money earned in the stock market cannot trigger the random increase of Mr. Gold Finger.

But 9% of the shares of Bobo Milk Tea are acceptable.

Comparing the two, it would definitely be more cost-effective for him to use his money to prop up the stock price of Bobo Milk Tea.

"There's no rush for this."

Chen Pingsheng said: "Just watch the news. When the final control of Vanke is revealed, sell it."

What these people are fighting for now is Vanke's controlling stake.

Whoever gets this will truly end the Vanke battle.

The current situation is like a peerless beauty, nakedly seeking a husband.

The three big men have fought for her and blood has flown into the river, as long as the final destination of this beauty is not determined.

Then this war will not stop.

As long as they keep trading, the retail investors below naturally don't need to consider selling their stocks.

In fact, many big investors have already withdrawn their capital. He knew that Tong Zelan had invested more than 100 million yuan.

For the other students, the least they bought was 10 or 20 million.

With so many big guys above you, there's no need to rush.

Liu Fen had a clue in her mind, and secretly posted in the Liu family group, continuing to increase her holdings in Vanke.

Chen Pingsheng ignored her as he still had things to do in the coffee shop.

The 200 million from Tong Zelan has been received, as have the 25 million from Yang Mi and the 25 million from Bobo Milk Tea.

He has only injected 100 million yuan, and plans to wait for the remaining 1.5 million yuan to be paid back after a TV series produced by Tencent Film.

Yang Mi’s Three Lives Three Worlds should be able to pay back its investment in September.

The TV series she stars in are never short of buyers from TV stations.

Chen Pingsheng drove a Bentley to the company, took a look around, and then went to the small coffee shop.

He has already invested 100 million yuan in finding a storefront decoration.

It takes at least two months from finding a storefront to completing the decoration.

These two months were just enough for him to put together a founding team and train service staff.

The routine is still the same routine.

Even though 100 million may seem like a lot, you will have to spend at least half of it on the transfer fee to find a coffee shop location.

It's because their coffee shops have no reputation at all and can't be compared with brands like Starbucks that have their own traffic.

For example, in a large shopping mall, in order to bring in an LV store, not only will they not charge it rent, they may even have to give it subsidies.

This is the power of big brands, which come with top-level traffic.

Coffee shops must be located in the CBD central business district. Where can there be vacant storefronts in such places?

They plan to invest two million yuan in a coffee shop, half of which will be spent on transferring the storefront.

"Uncle Weird, why are you here again?"

"Little girl, you really don't know how to talk. Isn't it good for me to take care of your business?"

This little girl is quite simple, and she is at her most innocent when she is eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Where's your aunt?"

"She went shopping and will be back soon. Uncle, what kind of coffee do you want? How about I make it for you?"

The girl said expectantly, "You can't taste the coffee anyway, why not try my cooking skills?"

"Okay, then give me a cappuccino."

Chen Pingsheng still sat in his window seat, and soon his aunt Qin Xue came back.

She is twenty-eight years old, with a plump figure, and thin where it should be thin.

The fat parts are a little over D size.

She usually doesn't dress up and looks like an ordinary person.

Those who like the culture of everyday life know that the super-beautiful ordinary people are often the most tempting.

Following behind her was a middle-aged man who was a bit fat and had a big belly.

He had a bunch of Mercedes-Benz keys hanging around his waist, and in order to show his low profile, he tucked his long-sleeved shirt into his belt.

The keys to Xiaoben have become a conspicuous item on his body.

The two looked at each other, but no quarrel broke out, mainly because Chen Pingsheng didn't pay much attention to him.

"Brother, do you often come for coffee?"

Xiao Bennan asked him, and Chen Pingsheng nodded.

"Do you like the coffee here?"

"I don't like it. It doesn't taste good."

If someone doesn't like the coffee but comes here often, it's obvious.

The real purpose of the drunkard is not the wine, but the proprietress.

Xiao Bennan silently took out his car keys and placed them on the table: "Brother, how did you get here?"

Chen Pingsheng glanced at him and asked with amusement, "Brother, are you showing off your wealth?"

"That's not my intention. I just bought a Mercedes-Benz E-Class a few days ago for a mere half a million yuan. It's not really presentable."

This young man has been single for some time. He only started to work hard after his wife ran away with someone else.

With the help of his sister-in-law, he successfully made a fortune.

When I came here to drink coffee, I was completely fascinated by the proprietress.

It came almost every day for three months.

Qin Xue had rejected him several times, but Xiao Bennan firmly believed that as long as he persisted enough.

One day an iron rod can be sharpened into a needle.

"The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a luxury car among ordinary cars. It's not bad."

The Benz man looked very proud. If it weren't for his sister-in-law, he wouldn't be able to afford such a nice car now.

Just when he was about to show off a few more words, Qin Xue came over.

Chen Pingsheng asked her, "How much money does your coffee shop make every month?"

"A little over 20,000."

Qin Xue said, "Although the business is good, the rent is too high, nearly 700,000 yuan a year. We are just working for the landlord."

"More than 20,000 is pretty good."

The young man immediately interrupted, fearing that his performance was insufficient.

"It's hard to run a brick-and-mortar store these days. It's already impressive that you can make a stable profit."

Qin Xue smiled faintly, she never thought she was that great.

Chen Pingsheng nodded. "Assuming you earn 25,000 per month, that's 300,000 per year. I'll buy out your coffee shop for 6 million for 20 years. What do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Xue didn't seem too surprised.

"It seems like you really want to get into the coffee industry."

"Yes, I do want to enter the coffee industry."

Chen Pingsheng said, "I went to Shanghai a while ago and met a friend. I got 200 million yuan in investment from her. I will put in some more money myself and raise 500 million yuan to open a coffee shop."

Qin Xue was still somewhat indifferent.

"It looks like a real tycoon has entered the coffee world."

Chen Pingsheng shook his head: "You don't seem surprised by what I said. I think you should already know me."

"I just had the good fortune to find out a few days ago."

Qin Xue said, "It was just two days ago. You must have been on a business trip to Shanghai. The newly relocated Tengying headquarters building next door ordered more than a dozen cups of coffee from us."

"My little niece wasn't feeling well, and I happened to be the one who went to see her off. I also went to the top of your eighteenth floor and accidentally saw the photo of your Tengying CEO hanging there."

"I just found out you're the boss of Tencent Film, the guy who spent 1 billion on a building a while ago. Later, after a little more research, I found out you're also the angel investor of Bobo Milk Tea, the guy on a bicycle who's only known online."

Qin Xue smiled and said, "You have quite a few identities. I'm just curious, what do you like about us?"

The guy next door with the Benz silently used his big fat hands to grab his Benz keys and put them back into his pocket.

What a joke! In front of such a big shot, how could you show off your wealth with a Mercedes-Benz?

Isn't this like hitting your head against a brick, testing your stubbornness?

Chen Pingsheng put down his coffee. "As you might have guessed, when I first started making coffee, a lot of people came to me wanting to work with me. Many of them were already well-known in the coffee industry. When I asked them why their coffee was so good, their answers were all sorts of fantastical."

"You're the only one who sincerely told me that coffee is addictive. If you're not addicted, you won't appreciate its goodness. I really like your sincerity."

Qin Xue nodded and smiled calmly, "It's an honor for me to be noticed by the internet's famous cyclist uncle. No matter how I look at it, I can't find any reason to refuse, right?"

The girl inside went to the bathroom, and by the time she unbuckled her belt, the store had already been sold.
