As soon as Chen Feng said this, the scene fell silent again.
They really didn't know that Chen Feng was divorced, and they didn't know how to answer the question for a while.
After a while, the second cousin who wanted to curry favor with Chen Feng the most took the lead and smoothed things over with a smile: "A-Ting is a little young now, and it's still a little early to get married. It won't be a problem for two or three years at night."
My cousin also reacted and quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, I have personal experience. I just got married too early and gave birth to children too early. Now I regret it to death. If I had known earlier, I would not be like this even to death.
Wouldn’t it be nice to get married early, have children, and play freely for a few more years?”
Cousin-in-law: "..."
The cousin smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether you get married sooner or later. As long as your love for each other remains unchanged, it's never too late to get married."
"My eldest cousin, you can still speak." My cousin gave a thumbs up to my eldest cousin.
The second cousin then asked: "A Feng, I heard from my aunt that Ating earned more than 10 million last year. It seems that your company is very profitable. How much did you, the boss, earn last year?"
Asking such a direct question might seem rude and abrupt in other places, but this is a very common phenomenon here in Lushi. Not to mention that Chen Feng and them are now considered relatives, even if they are fellow townsmen or people they have just met.
, it is very common for them to ask each other this question.
Because Lu City has a strong commercial atmosphere since ancient times, everyone wants to be a boss and do business, and everything depends on money. If you are rich in business, everyone will admire you and envy you, otherwise even if you become a county magistrate or mayor, you will not have much
I love you.
This is completely different from the traditional idea of officialdom in some places in the north. It can even be said to be completely opposite.
Chen Feng also understood that it was normal for his second cousin to ask this question, but Chen Feng didn't want to answer the question, so he said vaguely: "I haven't calculated the details, because it is all in the company account. However, it should be in the tens of millions."
Chen Feng's words are not completely false. Chen Feng really didn't remember the exact amount of the company's total profit last year. It was indeed placed in the company's account. Chen Feng did not withdraw it personally.
Of course, the specific number should be hundreds of millions of yuan, not tens of millions. There is no need to be too specific with them on this point.
Although Chen Feng had already spoken in a low tone, Wu Mengting and several relatives of the same generation still had their eyes lit up when they heard this.
My cousin took the lead and couldn't help but said: "Chen Feng, it's such a waste for you to just keep so much money in your company account. Money should be allowed to flow. The more fluid it is, the more money will be. It just so happened that your brother-in-law and I
There is a very good investment project, which is the production of elevator accessories, which is very profitable. At the beginning, we only need to produce one or two necessary elevator accessories. My father-in-law also has sales and connections in this area. The initial investment is not much, as long as you
Just give us one million, and we will also give you one million. Your brother-in-law will be responsible for the management, and my father-in-law will be responsible for the sales. We are willing to give you 40% of the shares, and you will definitely not lose money."
Chen Feng shook his head and refused: "I won't do unfamiliar business, no matter whether I make money or not."
My cousin didn't expect Chen Feng to refuse so bluntly. After being stunned for a moment, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Why don't you examine and consider it? Our project is guaranteed to make money."
Wu Mengting couldn't stand it any longer, frowned and said: "Cousin, you can earn the guaranteed business by yourself, don't be so kind as to involve us in the business."
My cousin was even more embarrassed when she heard this, but it was hard to fall out. After all, Chen Feng is undoubtedly a billionaire, and Wu Mengting is now worth tens of millions, and she and her husband are now gnawing at the old age, and they can only pay for their father-in-law and mother-in-law every month.
She got 20,000 yuan there. It seemed like a lot of money. It was enough for their family of three, but it was just enough. She and her husband had no money to buy a Tesla, let alone buy something more expensive.
of cosmetics and luxury goods.
The monthly living expenses of 20,000 yuan, according to the living habits and standards of their family of three, are not comfortable at all, even if they are not living a tight living.
Therefore, both of them wanted to start their own business and make money.
The project of producing elevator accessories was something the couple finally decided to pursue after studying it for a year or two.
First of all, her father-in-law and mother-in-law used to run a machinery parts factory. Even though her husband only had a name in the factory, he still knew some of the ins and outs of it.
Therefore, it is a good idea to set up an elevator parts factory with familiarity.
But her parents-in-law were unwilling to invest in their son to build this factory, and were not even willing to "borrow" money to their son to build it.
This naturally made the young couple very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they had no money and no confidence.
After knowing that Wu Mengting was rich, the couple naturally set their sights on her.
After knowing the identity of Chen Feng's boss just now, he naturally turned his attention to Chen Feng.
It's a pity that both Wu Mengting and Chen Feng are the kind of people who don't care about face, and they don't give in to them. They don't invest money if they say they won't, and they refuse face to face.
Seeing this, the couple had nothing to do for the time being.
When the second cousin saw his cousin, he was secretly amused. Then he smiled and said to Chen Feng and Wu Mengting: "You are both in Xiuzhou now. If I go to Xiuzhou in the future, I will have a place to stay. I will go to your place then."
Is it okay to stay for ten and a half days?"
It is very common for people who live in big cities to have people from their hometown come to stay overnight. Chen Feng had received this kind of commission in the early years, from relatives of relatives, friends of friends, or friends of friends of relatives.
Chen Feng couldn't save face at first, so he accepted several such commissions, until a relative came to Xiuzhou to see a doctor. As a result, Chen Feng helped him without saying a word for a few days, invited him to dinner, and helped pay for the hotel room for a few days.
rent.
I posted more than 1,000 yuan, and it was a waste of time and energy. As a result, after the incident, his relative, a relative, complained when he went back, saying that he would not let him stay at home, but the hotel where he was invited to stay was still low-end, and it was only a one-day stay.
The fee was only over 100, and there were cockroaches in the room.
In short, he helped but also caused problems. It was thankless and he was blamed instead.
After that time, Chen Feng was able to see through people's hearts. Unless he was asked by his closest relatives, he would refuse them all.
In fact, many times, face is really not that important. As long as you don't want face, your life will be easier and more enjoyable. Those good people who can't save face can only suffer themselves in the end.
Now that the second cousin made such a request, Chen Feng and Wu Mengting had the same idea, and of course they were both unwilling.
To be honest, Wu Mengting is not close to the relatives in front of her. The two cousins seem to be relatively close in terms of blood relationship, but in fact they have only known each other in the past two years. How much affection can they have?
Not to mention my cousin, who is a thousand miles away from me. I only met her a few times when I was a child. When I grew up, I basically didn’t have much contact and communication. Now that I am married, my relationship is even further.
Therefore, without much hesitation, Wu Mengting shook her head and refused: "The place where we live does not accept foreigners. If you go to Xiuzhou next time, I can book you a room in a five-star hotel."
When the second cousin heard this, he was a little unhappy. He frowned and said, "Why am I considered a foreigner? I am your brother. Where you live now is either a villa or a large flat. There must be many empty rooms.
, wouldn’t it be appropriate for me to stay for a few days?”
Wu Mengting gave him a roll of her eyes and let him experience it for himself.
He is said to be a brother, but he is a cousin, and he only met her in the past two years. Do you really think of yourself as her biological brother?
Of course, the second cousin also understood what his cousin meant by rolling her eyes, and there was a bit of confusion on his face.
Seeing this, the cousin quickly said something to smooth things over: "Boy, you can do it. They want to live a life of two, but you have to live with them. What's the point? It's enough to ask you to stay in a five-star hotel.
By the way, where do you two live now? If you have the opportunity to go to Xiuzhou another day, we will be guests for a meal, you won't not welcome us, right? "
"Where are you talking? If you go to Xiuzhou, of course we will receive you at home. However, Mengting and I are not used to other people living at home. Therefore, we can only force you to stay in a hotel then. We are now staying in
Zijinyuan, if you go to Xiuzhou in the future, just contact us."
"Purple Gold Garden?"
After the cousin muttered something, he smiled and said: "As soon as I heard the name, I knew it was a villa area. Villas in Xiuzhou are not cheap. How much did they cost?"
Chen Feng said: "It's a villa, but it's second-hand. Someone lived in it before. It was considered a replacement. The total price is about four to five thousand, right?"
Chen Feng said "four to five thousand", of course, meaning forty to fifty million, which immediately silenced the people present.
In fact, they are not considered poor. Even the old cousin and his wife can get 20,000 yuan for living expenses every month. This level is certainly very high compared to ordinary families.
The cousin himself is a shop owner with an annual income of RMB 30,000 to RMB 40,000. He lives in the city and owns a house worth RMB 5,000,000 to RMB 5,000,000. Although he has a mortgage, it will be gone in another ten years or so.
The second cousin is relatively poor. He lost money in business last year and can only rest on his laurels. Fortunately, his wife is a primary school teacher, and her salary is good, which can be considered as a guarantee. Moreover, he also has a house in the city worth more than 3 million, but
There are still ten years left to pay off the mortgage.
Compared with other ordinary families, their three small families are not bad, but when compared with good families, especially those with billionaire families, the gap is too big.
And Chen Feng is a billionaire, living in a 40- to 50-million-dollar villa. This alone can kill them instantly, and even kill most of the rich people in Lu City instantly.
This naturally shocked them all.
"Chen Feng, you are so rich. I admire you!"
The second cousin was still the first to praise, giving a thumbs up and sincerely praising Chen Feng.
Following him, he asked flatteringly: "Chen Feng, do you need a driver or a follower to carry bags? I have nothing to do anyway, so I just hang out with you. What do you think?"
Chen Feng immediately shook his head and refused: "I like to drive by myself and don't like to be followed by others."
The second cousin also immediately said: "Then please help me arrange a job in your company."
Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "I have been in the gift business for the past few years. I went to banks and enterprises and institutions to take gift orders. The business was not bad, but I could support myself. So last year, I worked with two people
We opened a gift factory in partnership, specializing in the production of craft gifts. As a result, we lost money and lost more than 300,000 yuan. I originally wanted to go back to the gift business, but who knew that several old connections were stolen from me, and there was another scam from above?
Wen, this business gift business has been brought to a halt all of a sudden. I am not familiar with other businesses and businesses, and I have been unemployed for more than half a year."
The cousin then said, "Yes, my second brother lost a lot last year, and he hasn't found a suitable business or job so far this year."
Chen Feng was speechless. I dare you and your three relatives to come here today with their whole families, mainly to attract investment and find jobs.
This second cousin asked him for a job and spoke so poorly of himself that Chen Feng couldn't refuse directly because of Wu Mengting's reputation.
Of course Wu Mengting knew this, so she said: "Second brother, you used to do business, and you are used to freedom. If I ask you to go to work honestly, you will definitely not be able to adapt to the nine-to-five job. What's more, you have to go to work.
The salary is not high. Even if I offer you a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, it will definitely not be as much as what you made in business before."
The second cousin followed the snake and said, "Well, you, a top student, help me think of a way out. What can I do now to make money to support my family?"
Wu Mengting resisted the urge to complain, and said casually: "How about you set up a stall, or do takeout. Let's make a transition, and then you can think about it yourself before opening a store or doing business."
Having said this is like saying nothing.
The second cousin said with some dissatisfaction: "After all, you graduated from Tunghai University, and now you are a great writer and gold medal producer. You must have a smarter mind than me. You can help me come up with ideas."
The cousin answered: "I have a good project here. Doesn't your sister-in-law open a milk tea shop? But her milk tea shop is not authentic. It is a fake brand made by herself. It is not as popular as the brands of Internet celebrity chain stores. The business has been
So-so, not to mention making money, but not losing money, I would be very happy. So, I thought about asking your sister-in-law to directly join an Internet celebrity milk tea brand, such as Bawang, Mixue, Gu Ming, etc.
But, if you want to do well in this business, the initial franchise fee, storefront, decoration, etc., will cost you at least hundreds of thousands. So, I want to find someone to partner with. Ating, you also know your sister-in-law’s ability. She opens a milk tea shop.
It has been open for almost two years. Although I haven’t made much money, at least I haven’t lost money, don’t you think? So, I want to get you to join us. If my second brother and cousin are interested, you can also take a share.”
Yes, this cousin has a motive for coming here this time.
Wu Mengting refused without much hesitation: "There are too many milk tea shops now, and the bonus period has passed. The last time I read the news report, it said that many milk tea shops have closed down, and many people have lost their money. So, I don't
If you are optimistic about this project, you won’t invest in it.”
The cousin was speechless for a while when he was rejected so simply.
The cousin was the best among the three of them, and he also wanted face the most. Seeing that Wu Mengting didn't give him face, he temporarily stopped thinking and stopped talking.
The same goes for the cousins. Only the second cousin still talks to Chen Feng and Wu Mengting, mainly to say flattering words.
It wasn't until almost noon that everyone set off to the hotel together.
This time, Father Wu spent a lot of money and booked a private room in a five-star hotel in the city, which also gave his relatives a lot of face. ()
