Chapter 340 I Forgot to Bring My Telescope
Xiao Peng and Walter panted and stared at each other, both of them could see the helplessness in each other's eyes. They said that the aunts of the fighting nation were fierce and tough, and now he had seen it with his own eyes.
The old lady just now was not the young man’s mother, but... the mother of a little girl! She stopped Xiao Peng and Walter because...
Arrange a blind date for her daughter!
What do parents in China do when they're worried about their children's marriage prospects? There are "matchmaking corners" in parks, where parents exchange their children's information with underground gangs.
And in Ukraine, mothers dress their children up beautifully and take them out on blind dates.
Why are there so many young people at the Kiev pier? Because it's a "matchmaking corner." Many people come here with their children for blind dates!
Xiao Peng originally thought that the old lady was looking for Walter. After all, a tall, blond German man should be a better choice for a Ukrainian girl to marry. But it turned out that the old lady's target was him.
When the woman asked Xiao Peng in fluent English, "How much will you give as a gift to marry my daughter?", Xiao Peng was completely stunned. "You even know about the 'bride price'? You're asking about it right away. Are you planning to sell your daughter?"
The more I look at it, the more similar it is. She has two daughters following her!
Many people in Ukraine are eager to change their lives through international marriages. Originally, the best choice was Western Europe, but now more and more people are marrying in China.
Although China does not make as much money as Western Europe, it has the habit of giving "bride price".
They love this Chinese custom!
Going to Western Europe seems good, but life there is still uncertain. What about marrying in China? Although the income is not as high as in Western Europe, life is comfortable, and a large betrothal gift can be given at one time.
In China, a betrothal gift of 100,000 or 80,000 yuan isn't considered much, but in Ukraine? It's 500,000 hryvnia. Prices here are really low, and 500,000 hryvnia is enough to buy a large house in the countryside!
Why not give your children a good life and your family a windfall? However, due to economic factors, not all Ukrainian girls can go abroad, so single Chinese men at the Kiev pier have become the target of some aunties. Many single Chinese men who visit here have experienced being approached by aunties.
Of course, there are many people here who want to make money.
These aunties are not stupid. Although Xiao Peng's clothes are not outstanding, he is traveling with bodyguards! How can this guy be bad?
What? How can a bodyguard dress better than his boss? Young man, don't just look at the surface of things... You should also read fashion magazines!
Xiao Peng's clothes might not look as impressive as Walter's, but what about the price alone? Xiao Peng's clothes are way more expensive than Walter's, right? Putting aside other things, Xiao Peng's backpack could buy Walter a full suit, right? That watch on his wrist could buy a supercar!
What? I'm bragging? You haven't seen this brand? That just shows you're ignorant!
The brand is called 'Vetements'. Some say it means 'fashion' in French, but it actually means 'element' in Latvian!
This brand is a trendy brand that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It became popular quickly and faded away quickly.
When several young designers jointly launched this brand, it immediately caused a global sensation. Countless celebrities promoted the product and it instantly became the most popular clothing brand among young people.
However, while these designers were top-notch, their management skills were somewhat lackluster. They sold their products at exorbitant prices and employed a marketing campaign that forced new models to wait months before reaching the general public. Furthermore, with several designers leaving, Vetements struggled to produce quality pieces, and the brand quickly languished.
But 'Vetements' certainly does not want to sit back and wait for death, so they recently launched a series of new and limited editions to save the market.
To be honest, the new products have good designs, but the prices are still sky-high and they are still using hunger marketing. It is really not easy to make a comeback with this strategy.
However, this so-called "hunger marketing" is not aimed at the rich. This is the reality these days. "Limited editions" and "collaborative editions" are simply for the rich! The rich can buy anything.
I have to say, Clementine is doing a fantastic job as an assistant. Xiao Peng doesn't know much about these things, but Clementine is. She's now Xiao Peng's "image consultant." Besides taking care of Xiao Peng's personal affairs, she also helps him shop for clothes, shoes, and hats, saving him countless hours. Furthermore, Clementine's aesthetics are very similar to Xiao Peng's, and he's always extremely satisfied with the clothes she buys him!
The only pity is that she doesn't have much knowledge and it's very difficult for her to handle company affairs. Otherwise, Xiao Peng would have wanted her to be in charge of the company's affairs.
The Ukrainian lady was a connoisseur. After seeing Xiao Peng's clothes and appearance, she immediately determined that he was a rich man. She really didn't want to miss him, and it looked like she would not be satisfied until she gave her daughter to Xiao Peng!
Just like the uncles and aunties at the 'Blind Date Corner' in Huaxia Park all know each other, the aunties who bring their children to blind dates at the Kiev Pier also know each other. The auntie who stopped Xiao Peng is famous for her good vision here: just look at her fluent English and you will know that she had seen the world when she was young!
Could the man she is so positive about bringing home to be her son-in-law be an ordinary man?
Then some smart aunts surrounded Xiao Peng, with one intention: Can you take a look at my daughter?
I swear to God: Xiao Peng is really scared!
Are these aunties going to eat him alive? He found an opportunity to drag Walter away - the aunties at the Kiev dock are really scary!
Walter panted and looked behind him and said, “Boss, they didn’t follow.”
Xiao Peng patted his chest and let out a long sigh: "This is too scary, right? I was afraid that I would be torn to pieces by those aunties just now!"
Walter suppressed his laughter and said, "The Ukrainian people are so enthusiastic."
"Is this enthusiasm?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened. "I almost wanted to jump into the Dnieper River!"
They are still on the banks of the Dnieper River.
But Walter said: "You can jump in now!"
"Why should I jump in?" Xiao Peng asked Walter puzzledly.
Walter pointed at the river, and Xiao Peng turned and took a deep breath. The temperature in Kyiv was much colder than in Odessa, less than 20 degrees Celsius today. However, many people were swimming in the Dnieper River, and on the other side of the river, some were lying on the riverbank sunbathing.
What surprised Xiao Peng the most was that many of these people were completely naked, and some were half-naked - he was talking about women.
This is a tourist attraction in the city center. Are you guys just going to strip naked and swim around here? Is this a tourist attraction?
"Damn it, I forgot to bring my binoculars!"
