Chapter 83
"She asked you to go back to France?" Fu Wenfan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
After chatting with Lin Wei, Levi was troubled and didn't know what to choose, so he could only talk to his friends about his frustrations.
Levi opened a bottle of cognac. He held the bottle without making any move: "She said there are no aristocrats in the port city. They are all a group of nouveau riche, so they are easy to fool. But the pretentious French are different. They want to tell history. , culture, craftsmanship, origin... If you just want to be a reselling wine merchant, you won’t be able to survive in the port city for a long time -"
Lin Wei said more bluntly at the time, scolding the French for being the best at showing off. , what can’t be called Champagne outside the Champagne production area, and can’t be called Cognac outside the Cognac production area... They use this trick of luxury goods to prevent others from entering.
She said that Levi's advantage was his family. If he gave up, he would only be a second-rate dealer.
Fu Wenfan nodded and said, "That sounds reasonable. Why did she ask you to go back to France?"
Levi put the wine glass in front of Fu Wenfan and sat down: "She said that any winery in France has a history of hundreds of years. I The family has been strong for so long from 1807 to now, and it can be used to bluff people."
Fu Wenfan immediately understood: "Does she want you to go back and fight for the family property?"
Lei Wei sighed: "If I have this ability, I won't come here anymore... My family is not as glamorous as others imagine. Apart from being old-fashioned and conservative, there is nothing special about it. I can only see it getting older and lingering, but it still wants to be slapped in the face. To maintain the so-called aristocratic dignity.
"So what she wants is a winery with a history?" Fu Wenfan asked again.
"That's right, she said that this way she can do things better. With the hardware, she can upgrade the software, packaging, and wine blending technology."
She used a house as an example at the time, buying a house in a good location. Comparing it to Central, even if it is a little dilapidated, it will be renovated and gradually upgraded to become a new facade. However, if it is replaced by the New Territories, buying a villa will not have much room for appreciation.
"There should be many wineries in France that are in danger of going bankrupt, so the difficulty will be much lower." Fu Wenfan suggested.
"She did mention this and was willing to contribute part of the money, but she hoped that I would not give up the family property. If I couldn't win it, she asked me to wait for the day when the family was really in decline, and then take it into my pocket. It would be better to be the heir. Gilded..."
"So -" Fu Wenfan looked at him in confusion, "What's your problem?"
Levi frowned for a long time, then said: "Her ambition scares me, but it's not. Scared, I don’t know what to say, you know? What she is planning is not a winery, not a perfume, but the whole plate..."
Fu Wenfan’s eyes suddenly seemed to flash with a strange color, and he smiled and said: "You're actually afraid that you don't have the ability. Did the future she described to you scare you?"
"You don't understand. I've seen too many idiots talk about dreams. They dare to say anything when they're drunk. After they wake up, I don’t remember anything, but--"
"Then do you think she was just dreaming?" Fu Wenfan smiled, "Are you afraid that you took it seriously, but in the end she said she was just joking--I now understand why she was lying. I have been waiting for you for so long. You really lack some patience. You can set the goal first. How to get there is a long journey and there is no room for hesitation. "
Levi said nothing and took a sip of wine. He was obviously not drunk. He didn't know why. Hiccups.
"Of course, it's normal for you to think so," Fu Wenfan looked at the amber liquid in the wine and said, "If you don't have confidence, I can help you."
Levi looked at him in surprise.
Fu Wenfan smiled and said: "I still have the ability to help you with suggestions."
...
Song Ye and Lin Wei were both admitted to the University of Hong Kong.
Sun Boran was very happy and put wine at home to celebrate.
But even what he was holding in his hand was not wine, and Lin Wei had been criticized by him several times while drinking.
"Finally, you have lived up to your father's instructions. When you two went to the University of Hong Kong, you should concentrate on your studies, especially you Lin Wei. Don't think about making money all day long. You can make money at any time, but knowledge is different. This is the most important thing in your life. When times are good, you should aim for the future and live up to your time. You must seize the moment, you know?"
Lin Wei nodded in agreement.
There really isn't much to do now. Wen Jiayue is in the milk tea shop, Sheng Meijun and Hu Xiwen are in the garment factory, Song Ye is in the security company, and Su Tianrui and... Chen Hengxi are in Taiwan.
Although Fu Sheng didn't know what he was holding back, he didn't act like a monster for the time being.
She concentrated on taking care of Hezi. When she had time, she would fly to Taiwan and discuss the listing with them. She had to follow the whole process and couldn't really entrust outsiders to do it.
Although she was still a little busy, she now felt that half of her burden had been lifted since she no longer had to take exams.
"There is one more thing I want to announce to everyone -" Sun Boran paused and said, "A Yin's school has been contacted and she passed the entrance exam successfully. She will go to the United States in January next year to study at MIT. Study."
"Awesome, congratulations -"
before Lin Wei could finish her words, Sun Muan suddenly burst into tears.
The little fat man ran to Sun Mu'an and hugged his sister in collapse: "Don't let sister go, stay at home with me."
Yuan Yujun hurriedly chased over to comfort Sun Mu'an, complaining: "Okay, what are you studying for? Look at you. My brother did it. How can you be such a sister?"
Sun Boran looked ugly: "Take him away quickly, it's a great thing, why are you crying?"
"What do you think he is doing? You are such a big-hearted father. Are you not worried about going to the United States alone? Or they say that no father is reliable." Yuan Yujun blamed Sun Boran while trying to pick up Sun Mu'an, but the fat boy was too heavy to hold.
"What are you worried about? It's not like letting her go by herself. I will see her off in person."
"That's not it -"
"How about this -" Lin Wei put down the tea cup and said with a smile, "We will go to the United States together then. Send my sister to school. "
Huh?"
Everyone looked at her, and Sun Muyin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Lin Wei raised her delicate eyebrows and said with a smile: "Anyway, school should be on vacation at that time, so the whole family will go on a trip to help my sister rent a house, help her take care of everything, and let her adapt to the local life in advance.
"Is this okay?" Yuan Yujun said hesitantly. She had not been out of the country yet. She was a little looking forward to it, but she was also a little worried about being embarrassed .
Sun Boran disagreed: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. I can go by myself. The air tickets are so expensive. Why waste this money?"
Lin Wei said: "Uncle, don't worry about money. Just prepare the tuition for your sister. Everything else will be fine." I'll just come."
"That's not right -"
"Just relax. Song Ye and I have been busy, studying and working at the same time. It's estimated that we won't be able to be completely relieved until the end of the year. We have been busy for more than a year. Everyone should relax. You can't leave your mother-in-law alone at home. Let's go out to play together and take care of each other."
When Yuan Yujun heard that she was left at home, she quickly said: "Why leave me alone? I have no time to spare these days. I have four children to take care of and I have to go to work. What did I say? Why, you won’t take me with you when you go abroad?”
“Who said I won’t take you with me?” Looking at Yuan Yujun, he said speechlessly, "Why are you joining in the fun? You can't even speak English. What can you do if you go there? Aren't you just adding to the trouble?"
"Why did I add to the trouble? I feel sorry for A Yin too. You can't even take care of yourself." " Okay, can you take care of A Yin?"
"Okay, stop it -" Lin Wei quickly intervened, "Everyone is going, everyone is going. If Sun Mu'an doesn't have a place to stay, he will go with him, just in time for the winter vacation. "When the time comes, Auntie will take a leave and arrange the work. It's still early anyway. Let's plan and add the schedule first."
Sun Boran wanted to retort, but Lin Wei turned around and started chatting with Yuan Yujun: "Auntie. , let me tell you, foreign men are all very handsome. They are all 1.9 meters tall and have great body proportions. There are also nightclubs where you can watch men dance at night. I will take you there. Let's go and see..."
"Foreign men still dance? Ouch -" Yuan Yujun covered her mouth in embarrassment and waved her hands, "Then what - you can see it, I have to bring the one you gave me. Clothes."
Sun Boran: "..."
Song Ye glanced at the milk glass in front of him, his eyes blank for a moment.
One meter nine...
didn't you say one meter eight?
"Clothes don't matter, you can buy more local clothes then..."
Sun Boran couldn't stand it anymore, snorted angrily, and left.
When I see Fang Lianxin again, it would be inappropriate to have a good talk about his daughter.
Yuan Yujun directly left Sun Muan to Zhang Ma. Now he didn't care about objecting to Sun Muyin's study abroad. If he wanted to go abroad, why not make preparations?
Take advantage of this time to learn a few English sentences or something, so as not to get lost and unable to ask for directions.
I learned a little bit about it when I was in school, but I don’t need it anymore, I’ve almost forgotten it all.
Lin Wei stretched out. No matter what, she had experienced the unrestrained life of college entrance examination students after liberation. This is how people live.
"Do you want to learn French in advance?" Song Ye suddenly asked Lin Wei.
ah?
Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, maybe she couldn't do it.
Song Ye's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "I heard that French majors have a very serious failure rate and a high delay rate."
Lin Wei blinked, but still didn't think much about it. She was not that stupid to not delay graduation. Well, her self-confidence is now through the roof, but she was admitted to the University of Hong Kong as a "genius" in just over a year.
"Tutoring is different now. It's not for exams. Learning will be very easy. Once you master the method and go to class, you will get twice the result with half the effort." Song Ye looked at her with a tiny glimmer in his eyes and his voice became softer. "Study for a while. You can stop at any time when you are tired."
Lin Wei was persuaded.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do. She seems to be used to tutoring. She originally wanted to learn another language and learn French well to prepare for her future career.
Listening to the two people talking, Sun Muyin looked at the bright restaurant in front of her and suddenly thought of that afternoon a year ago.
At that time, she never imagined that her life would change drastically because of the sudden intrusion of a person.
Sun Muyin looked at Lin Wei who was talking to Song Ye.
Even now, she has no obsession with studying abroad. All her expectations for studying abroad are based on the day she returns from her studies.
When she comes back, maybe she can do adult things like them.
"Do you remember that we made a bet before? We didn't win the first place this time." Lin Wei looked at Song Ye with a smile and said, "Classmate Song, you will call me teacher from now on."
Song Ye looked at her deliberately He stood up, raised his eyebrows proudly, kept quiet for a few seconds, and said slowly: "Teacher Lin, I will teach you French well in the future."
Lin Wei: "..."
Lin Wei looked at him and thought To say that I don’t want to study anymore is too childish and will affect my college performance, which is not a good thing.
After holding it in for a long time, she suddenly smiled and said: "I asked you to buy a stake in my garment factory, but you were unwilling. Tell the truth... Do you regret it now?"
Song Ye didn't speak this time, and put his hand on his hand. on the cup.
He was dressed very casually today, wearing a white T-shirt, a short-sleeved black casual shirt, and dark jeans. The straight design made his legs straight, giving him a youthful and elegant temperament.
Lin Wei subconsciously thought, would it be better if it was paired with a blue diamond brooch?
Song Ye turned the empty milk glass with his slender and clean fingers. After being silent for a long time, he finally uttered two words: "Regret."
Lin Wei looked back, satisfied. Is this right?
This money stringer is now making a lot of money every day. He has a problem if he wants to say that he has no regrets.
The toy factory has now received a lot of export orders, but its local popularity has not increased, and many toys cannot be sold to local shopping malls. It’s not that toys don’t work, but that each company has a fixed supplier. If you want to open up the situation, you can’t do it overnight.
Unless, his toys are unique in Hong Kong City and are hot-selling items that are in short supply.
In terms of marketing, it is indeed Song Ye's shortcoming.
Song Ye looked at her, but there was a name in his mind. He suddenly asked: "Do you know a man named Wu Ming——"
"Miss Lin...your phone number." Zhang Ma interrupted the chat between the two.
Lin Wei sighed: "This Su Tianrui, I just called last night." Reporting on time, now he not only talked about himself, but also told her Chen Hengxi's whereabouts in detail.
Song Ye frowned slightly, then relaxed, and calmly helped out: "Don't reimburse him for the phone bill."
Lin Wei turned around and said, "You are pushing others ahead of you. The phone bill can't stop him. He even said he would fly back to attend the opening ceremony of the University of Hong Kong."
"It's not Mr. Su who's calling," Zhang Ma said suddenly. The voice said, "It's the TV station."
TV station?
What could the TV station do to find her?
Ah,
Lin Wei suddenly remembered that she had been so busy recently about this year's goddess competition that she almost forgot about it.
The big IP of "goddess" is not something that can be obtained just once. As long as the hosting rights are in her hands, Lin Wei can continue to enjoy it. Just like the Hong Kong sister in the previous life, it will not be a problem to enjoy it for decades.
Li's TV station did ask her about the Goddess Contest, but in addition to the Goddess Contest, the other side also hoped that she could help the TV station give ideas, because they had failed to organize several activities independently before, and the losses were not small. They had to find a way to recover. .
The last time they cooperated with Lin Wei, they earned more than 500,000 yuan, and they also brought a lot of related profits in the future. However, when they wanted to copy it again, they found that it was not that easy to do. They got Mr. Xiangjiang and were immediately ignored. , no one paid attention at all, and a subsequent singing competition was held, but the results were not satisfactory, and I almost lost all my previous profits.
These people have never been in the media. Even if they have a background in television, there is only one television station in Hong Kong and there are no competitors. They just cross the river by feeling.
But these are not the most important things. Lin Wei thinks that the main thing is that there are not enough viewers, TV is not popular enough, and the fees are too expensive. These have already shut out most people, so free wireless TVB can quickly open up the market. , when one family is the only one, it is difficult to have a sense of urgency.
"Actually, I don't know much about TV media, but have you ever thought about changing the current model to free-"
While talking on the phone, Lin Wei saw Sun Muyin coming to the living room. The other party smiled at her and then hummed. Singing, he dug out a pyramid Rubik's Cube in the drawer.
She actually has it herself. The reason why she came here to look for it is probably because she is pestering Song Ye to compete again.
She usually doesn't have any rivals in school, so she just likes to compete with Song Ye and enjoy the pleasure of torturing Song Ye. The little guy is also quite "bad".
Lin Wei looked at Sun Muyin thoughtfully.
Suddenly smiled.
She said into the phone: "How about holding a youth Rubik's Cube competition first?"
