Hu Lin is also 28 years old this year.
There is also an older brother and a younger brother above.
My eldest brother is in his thirties and stopped studying after graduating from elementary school.
It was also thanks to his elder brother that he was able to study peacefully from the countryside to the capital.
Those who understand the countryside will understand.
Not to mention being a teacher in Beijing, even if someone is admitted to a university in Beijing, he will be well-known in the whole village.
Hu Lin doesn't like socializing very much, mainly because when he was in college, many of his classmates looked down on him as a genuine rural person.
Therefore, after graduation, he rarely contacted his former classmates.
After working for a few years, I saved most of the money I earned by living frugally and gave it to my family.
The only thing left is that I bought this Corolla in installments, and my acquaintance with Chen Qi was purely accidental.
When I hit her car, I felt like I was going to lose a year's salary.
Of course I know Porsche.
But he didn't expect that when he met such a good person, he wouldn't ask him to pay compensation.
Hu Lin did not leave out of a responsible attitude, but took the initiative to take her to repair the car.
That's how the two met, and later he met her mother. Peng Yingting liked him.
Now that she has seen her brother again, it seems that what she said is just a little bit of money that is not quite right.
If he can dine with top celebrities, he must have a lot of money.
He didn't know exactly how much.
"Brother, haven't we reached that stage yet?" Chen Qi blushed.
"You're not young anymore. Love is as illusory as cotton wool."
Chen Pingsheng said: "If you think it's appropriate, then get married. Only then will the relationship be truly stable for the child's life."
Young people nowadays like to date for three or four years before getting married.
Facts have proved that those who like to stay in a relationship for such a long time have basically said goodbye.
At that time, the older generation would get married right away if the two families got along well.
I haven't seen many people get divorced.
On the contrary, the divorce rate after free love is getting higher and higher.
Yang Mi secretly felt that she shouldn't have come for this meal, as she always felt that Chen Pingsheng was a bastard.
Keep hinting at her.
Honey, you are not young anymore.
Do you feel ashamed that you don’t even have a partner older than my sister?
It's the 21st century, but this guy still acts like he's living in the 1990s.
If she didn't have good manners, she would know that this was someone else's family affair and wouldn't interfere.
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 a few years.
Used to spending lavishly.
It was not until she came to Beijing and relied on her brother that she became rich.
So, the person she subconsciously likes is still similar to the one she liked before.
Compared with the previous one, Chen Pingsheng was quite satisfied with this Hu Lin.
The main thing is that his mother Peng Ying nagged him several times, saying that being a teacher is a sacred profession.
It cannot 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 nowadays?
Hu Lin was stunned. He didn't expect it to be so direct.
It was Chen Qi who pulled him aside. She had said several times that if the two of them wanted to be together, they must have her brother's consent.
In this situation, her brother has obviously agreed.
But, he still can’t afford the bride price?
To be honest, only people from poor families would ask for exorbitant dowries and gifts.
Under the guise of traditional etiquette, they are selling their daughters.
In the past, marrying someone from a poor family was considered a blessing.
Because girls from this kind of family will help you with whatever you do.
He is really hardworking.
Marrying a girl from a poor family now really proves the saying.
It's completely for poverty alleviation.
Get a few hundred thousand in betrothal gifts first, there will be a lot of things waiting for you to spend money later.
As for Chen Qi, she would never ask for a dowry.
I guess I will have to pay for one or two houses in Beijing.
Hu Lin didn't expect the relationship to develop so quickly. Apart from being a little bit unsure, everything else was very easy.
Because you don’t have to buy a house in Beijing and you don’t have to prepare a betrothal gift.
In fact, Chen Pingsheng agreed so quickly after investigating this person. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would not have brought up this matter 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 arrive.
After returning to the company, Yang Mi started to act angry and throw a tantrum.
Chen Pingsheng ignored her.
This woman is not young anymore. Besides being very pretty, she also has a D-cup breast.
Besides having long legs and being very profitable.
It seems that there is no advantage.
But Yang Mi still asked him, "Chen Pingsheng, your sister is already so rich, and you let her marry someone with an annual salary of only 100,000 yuan. Aren't you afraid of hurting her?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Chen Pingsheng raised his hand and chased Yang Mi, who was sitting on his desk, away. "She chose the person herself, not me. Besides, I'm just her brother, not her father. She wouldn't like it if I interfere too much."
"Okay."
Yang Mi wore a hip skirt that reached her knees on one side and above them on the other, which looked very fashionable.
"You're quite open-minded."
"What can I do if I can't figure it out? My mom agrees, so why should I disagree?"
Chen Pingsheng asked her curiously, "That's not right. When did you, Queen Yang, care about these things?"
"Then I'd like to chat with you for a while. I'm leaving this afternoon. See you in the Magic City."
Yang Mi carried her small bag, put on her sunglasses and left without caring about anyone.
After Chen Pingsheng returned home, Hu Lin actually came to his house with a lot of gifts.
There are apples and bananas.
I also heard from Chen Qi that her sister-in-law liked to eat durian, so he bought a big one.
He obviously felt less confident after coming here.
This is totally inconsistent with what Chen Qi said, that her brother only has a little money.
I live in such a beautiful courtyard house and can even grow vegetables at home.
The key location is still Nanluoguxiang.
"Brother, you're back."
"I'm back."
"Hulin has brought something to see you."
"I know. Your sister-in-law will be back soon. Let her cook at home."
Chen Pingsheng didn't say much, and Hu Lin felt that he looked down on him a little.
In fact, no matter what Chen Pingsheng does, he will have this feeling.
The gap between the rich and the poor cannot be solved by a few words of concern.
It can only be slowly worn away by time.
Besides, what do you want him to talk to you about?
Chen Pingsheng himself couldn't figure it out.
But he knew that coming to this big yard would only make his younger sister's boyfriend feel even more lost.
This is a very normal emotion.
Chen Pingsheng called his wife and said that his younger sister had to bring her boyfriend home and no one could receive him.
That would be very rude.
As for his mother Peng Ying, she had already gone out to play with the children with Liu Fen.
On the way back.
Song Yanxi is still very elegant. Any outfit she wears costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. How can she not have elegance?
A woman still relies on her clothes. She politely bought some vegetables.
He also personally went into the kitchen to cook four dishes and a soup.
Only after Peng Ying came back did Hu Lin feel a little more normal.
He was not that nervous because he had met Peng Ying before.
The elders like him, and this is the best result.
As for the rest, you can’t force it.
Even Song Yanxi knows that the gap brought about by this kind of family cannot be 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 passed.
Hu Lin's mother brought his elder brother and sister-in-law to Beijing.
Chen Pingsheng drove a Rolls-Royce to the airport to pick her up, and the old lady was startled.
Chen Pingsheng politely introduced the capital city to her.
Then they went to a big hotel they had booked in advance to discuss their marriage.
The old man didn't say much along the way.
After arriving at the restaurant's private room, Peng Ying told her that she was also from the countryside, and the old woman's complexion looked a little better.
Discuss marriage.
The couple's wedding will be held in the capital.
The man’s family will also hold one.
As Chen Qi's biological brother, Chen Pingsheng will prepare a wedding house for them.
A Mercedes-Benz S600 and two small storefronts.
The house is near Hu Lin’s workplace and is over 200 square meters in size and is fully furnished.
The man doesn't need to take a dime.
in addition.
A small villa will also be built for their rural parents in their hometown. This is the only dowry provided by the bride.
It doesn't take much, Chen Qi himself is a billionaire.
Hu Lin's mother asked, "Does it require me to marry into the family?"
If that's the case, she has no objection as long as her son can live a good life.
Peng Ying shook her head, saying that this was totally unnecessary as she already had a son.
The reason why I gave them that was simply because their family conditions were better.
I really don’t mean anything else.
It is said that love is a matter between two people, and marriage is a matter between two families.
Chen Qi was going to go back to his hometown with Hu Lin, but Chen Pingsheng didn't care anymore.
As long as she can find someone she likes and who has good character, he, as her brother, will be satisfied.
As for the rest, I'll slowly work them out later.
Anyway, there is a huge difference between the two families now.
Didn’t you see that Hu Lin’s mother just smiled and didn’t say anything?
Even if they asked, they only asked whether he wanted to marry into the family.
How could this be possible if these were two similar families?
No matter what, Hu Lin has reached the pinnacle of success with just one marriage.
His eldest brother is a very honest man who has been farming at home. His sister-in-law is also a very nice person.
It's a very honest family.
Chen Qi might be able to adapt to this kind of family, but Chen Anan definitely won't be able to adapt when she grows up.
You can tell from the hundreds of thousands of pocket money she gets every month.
The habits formed since childhood cannot be changed because of one person.
…
My younger sister followed Hu Lin to his hometown.
Chen Pingsheng returned to his old ways, going to work, coming home, spending time with his wife, and watching the funny little kid.
The good days soon came to late August.
After investigating the domestic coffee market, Lin Jia of Tenghui Capital produced a detailed data report for him.
According to the survey, the customer group that consumes coffee is mainly white-collar women, of all ages.
The most common number is between twenty-five and thirty-five.
In addition, in addition to the fact that the consumer group of coffee is obviously different from that of milk tea, coffee is also regarded as a bourgeois lifestyle.
Starbucks has mastered this area, which is why it has become popular all over the world.
Inside a coffee shop.
Chen Pingsheng rarely wore black sunglasses. He had been sitting here for a long time.
This coffee shop is not big, but it has its own unique features.
Business was usually good, and he had been drinking coffee for ten days straight, but he hadn't tasted any bourgeois flavor from it.
This is true for both sweetened and unsweetened versions.
How can you run a coffee shop if you can’t even meet the most basic coffee requirements?
Just relying on a lot of money?
Don't joke, there are many people in the country who are richer than him.
He hasn't reached that point yet.
Relying on celebrity resources?
Celebrities may be able to quickly attract young people, but the target audience of coffee is obviously urban white-collar workers.
These people all have their own independent thinking, and celebrity resources are relatively less influential than milk tea.
He has always firmly believed that chasing stars is something that only idiots do.
No matter how well they act on TV, you never 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, isn't the coffee my aunt makes especially delicious?"
"Is it delicious?"
Chen Pingsheng asked a soul-searching question, which made the waiter in the store completely confused.
"Of course it tastes good. If it doesn't, why would you come here to drink it every day?"
The girl is very confident, and her business is quite good.
If you go there at noon or right after get off work, you have to queue up.
This uncle is not good-looking. Look at the way he drinks coffee. Could he be the same as those suitors of my aunt?
Giving him a suspicious look, the girl asked, "Uncle, are you unemployed? Why do you seem to have so much free time?"
Chen Pingsheng came here every day and became somewhat familiar with her.
"How can you doubt that I don't have a job? Isn't it possible that I don't have to work because I'm the boss?"
The little girl laughed and said, "Uncle, please don't be ridiculous. How can a big boss come to our small coffee shop to drink coffee every day?"
"You must have fallen for 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 for five years. During these five years, she definitely won't have a boyfriend."
The widow?
Chen Pingsheng suddenly thought of this word, and then looked at the woman in front of him who was wearing a black tight dress and a low ponytail.
There is a wisp of bangs on both sides of his face, and his face is oval, with a chest that looks about 350 grams.
It's really tempting.
Chen Pingsheng looked at her and said, "Your aunt has been very good to your uncle for five years."
"Of course, they've been together since college."
The little girl didn't want to talk to him more about this topic, and of course, Chen Pingsheng was not interested in chasing her to ask such questions.
He has seen too many beautiful women.
"Girl, I see your coffee isn't cheap either, it's 20 or 30 yuan a cup, and it doesn't even taste as good as the Bobo milk tea next door. How come so many people like it?"
"Hmph." Look at what he said, it directly irritated the girl. It was the first time she heard someone in their store say that the coffee was not as good as the milk tea next door that cost eight yuan a cup.
"Uncle, you're not saying this because you're angry and embarrassed after I exposed your true identity, right? How can you compare coffee with milk tea?"
"Can't we compare?"
Chen Pingsheng felt that they were similar, one was a little bitter, and the other was sweeter and had more milk.
Seriously speaking, he also likes drinking milk tea a little.
But Tong Zelan said that she could set up a coffee shop.
The valuation is at least tens of billions, and can even be as high as hundreds of billions.
If he could build a company worth tens of billions, he could use the golden finger to randomly increase the value.
How dare you think this?
"Of course they can't be compared. Milk tea is sold to young consumers, while coffee is sold to discerning customers."
In the little girl's eyes, the biggest difference between coffee and milk tea is obviously the grade.
Chen Pingsheng thought about it and said, "Please pack me three more cups and I'll take them to my colleagues."
"Okay." The girl is relatively free around three or four in the afternoon, and will start to get busy again at five.
After the nearby businesses close, many people will come to their place to order a cup of coffee.
As soon as she entered, she told her aunt about this strange uncle.
They say the food doesn't taste good, but they still come to drink it every day.
That's really strange.
At first, my aunt just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention.
Later, since the store wasn't busy, I decided to come over and ask him which flavor he didn't like.
Seriously speaking, Chen Pingsheng has never thought that any type of coffee is delicious.
He thinks this will be the biggest difficulty in making coffee.
"Sir, may I ask what is it about our coffee that you find unpalatable?"
"Oh~ You may have misunderstood. I simply can't taste the goodness of coffee."
Chen Pingsheng said honestly, "A friend suggested that I open a coffee shop, but I just can't appreciate the taste of coffee. Do you think it will be difficult for me to run a successful coffee shop like this?"
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 this obviously an attempt to find out about them?
Qin Xue sat across from him and said with a faint smile, "You are quite sincere."
"That's because I don't need to deceive the owner of a small coffee shop."
Okay... Qin Xue felt a sense of confidence in these words, but also a contempt for herself.
In his eyes, I am not his competitor.
Qin Xue said, "I had my first cup of coffee when I was in college. I went to Starbucks with my classmates. They all said it was delicious, but I didn't think it tasted good at all. But in order to hide it from others, I still told them that this cup of coffee was delicious."
"You can honestly express your preferences, which proves that you don't need to deliberately use these things to gain recognition."
"Actually... I didn't really appreciate coffee until after I graduated from university and started working. Many of my colleagues liked it back then, and I bought it a few times after following their lead. Only then did I slowly come to appreciate its taste. The bitterness at first, followed by the sweetness, requires a slow savour. It's also a habit, and once you're used to it, it's hard to quit."
Qin Xue believes that the biggest difference between coffee and milk tea is that they are addictive.
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 it hurt your mouth, it also makes you feel uncomfortable.
But people from Hunan particularly like it because it is addictive.
It's hard to quit even if you want to.
It's pretty much the same thing as coffee; people who are used to it drink a cup every day.
People who are not used to it will just feel that it is not worth it.
It just so happens that white-collar workers in corporate companies like to drink it.
Chen Pingsheng understood, and seemed to understand why he didn't like to drink.
Without addiction, there is no liking.
It’s the same principle as betel nut.
The biggest advantage of coffee over milk tea is its high customer stickiness.
The repurchase rate is also very strong.
