Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Chapter 162 Liu Hongni

"I have an idea. Let's change it to a tourist attraction and charge admission. Haha..." The man started laughing as he spoke.

Then everyone laughed.

At this time, Ni Bin spoke up: "Hey, you say, they won't demolish it so forcefully, right? This has happened before. However, if they really dare to do so, we will have to take good care of them."

"Yes, keep an eye on them and see if they dare to touch the cultural relics. If they dare to tear them down, we will send them to jail for vandalism and let them spend a few years in prison."

"By then, even if their old man comes forward to bail them out, he'll be humiliated." Ni Bin smiled faintly, secretly calculating in his heart. If the small building is really demolished, Hou Shuo and the others may be fine, but who will bail out Chen?

Ni Bin now knows who kidnapped Ning Yao that day. It was a country bumpkin whom Ning Yao met when she was an educated youth. It seemed that the two of them were already having an affair.

This made Ni Bin start to look down on Ning Yao, thinking that she was not as innocent and noble as he had thought before, and that she might have even slept with this country bumpkin.

The thought of this made him feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, in his eyes, Chen Feng, this country bumpkin, is not completely useless. After all, he is quite rich. But in his eyes, all these are useless. If a person has money but no power, then who knows whose money it is?

Perhaps this is the reason why this country bumpkin is determined to get close to Ning Yao. After all, Ning Yao's father is the governor and can serve as a protective umbrella for him.

Ni Bin felt that he had grasped Chen Feng's thoughts. A villain who wanted to climb up the social ladder was despised.

People like this will inevitably suffer misfortune sooner or later, and Ning Yao and his father might even be dragged into this misfortune. They really deserve it.

This time, he planned to keep an eye on the cultural relic building. As long as they dared to demolish it, Ni Bin would be sure to send Chen Feng, the bumpkin, to jail for at least ten years for destroying cultural relics!

This is not Dongjiang, Ning Yao's father's power cannot extend to the capital!

Ning Yao and Hong Ni met in a cafe.

Hongni's name is Liu Hongni, and she dresses like a goddess.

Chen Feng knew at a glance that this type of woman must be very influential in the capital.

In fact it is.

Although Liu Hongni was born in a wealthy family, she had a good relationship with Ni Bin and the other so-called new elites.

As soon as they sat down, Hong Ni said with a smile, "Chen Feng, I heard that you acquired the land at No. 800 Wangfujing?"

Chen Feng smiled slightly. "Wow, this news spreads so quickly. It's only been two days and you already know about it."

"The circle in the capital is as small as a courtyard. Everyone knows about the slightest disturbance. Now many people are holding their breath and want to see how you fall on that piece of land." Hongni smiled meaningfully.

Chen Feng laughed heartily, appearing quite open-minded. "Business is like playing cards, there are winners and losers. If someone wins every time, who would want to play with him?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Ni's eyes flashed with admiration, and she immediately suggested, "How about I help you get rid of that hot potato? Just for Yao Yao's sake. After all, Yao Yao and I hit it off right away."

As she spoke, she pulled Ning Yao, who was sitting next to Chen Feng, to her side and said in a pretended angry tone, "Yaoyao, you sit with me and don't run over to the man's side!"

The two women burst into laughter.

Chen Feng looked at Hong Ni and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this woman is really good at dealing with people and has first-class social skills.

He smiled and shook his head: "No need. If you come to Beijing to make a living, you have to pay some tuition, right? Besides, that piece of land may not necessarily be a loss-making business. Everything depends on human effort, right?"

Hongni covered her mouth and chuckled. "Oh, you're quite chauvinistic. But I'm really interested in your plot of land. I want to see what kind of magic tricks you can perform."

Changing the subject, Chen Feng asked, "What about you? Are you planning to start some business with my Yaoyao?"

When Hongni heard this, her expression darkened slightly and she sighed.

"What big deal could I possibly be causing? It's just some girlish fuss. A few years ago, I went to Hong Kong Island and discovered that all the girls there used makeup, so many different kinds, it's become a workplace etiquette to wear makeup to work."

"But here in mainland China, we're still stuck at the stage of applying skin cream. I originally wanted to import some cosmetics from Hong Kong to expand the domestic market. I was almost done with a brand, but they suddenly raised the price, and the funds I have on hand are insufficient. Sigh..."

Under the soft light of the cafe, Chen Feng listened quietly to Liu Hongni's story, and couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

Liu Hongni's insight into the market is indeed keen.

Cosmetics is an area that is about to flourish, especially the female consumer market.

Even in an economic downturn, lipstick can still achieve undiminished sales, a miracle that is known as the “lipstick economics”.

This is a wise choice that can effectively hedge against economic cycles.

It seems that it was the right decision to let Ning Yao participate.

"Which brand of cosmetics are you referring to?" Chen Feng asked. "Also, how big is the funding gap?"

Liu Hongni said, "For 'Yalanshi', the initial cost of being an agent is 500,000, and there is an additional 200,000 in annual maintenance fees."

Chen Feng frowned slightly when he heard this. This name did not leave any trace in his memory.

Although he didn't know much about cosmetics, he had heard of those big brands that would become famous in the future, whether from Europe, America or Japan.

And this "Ya Lanshi" is obviously not a character that can stand firm in the future.

"Hongni, I personally suggest you reconsider this," Chen Feng said slowly. "Reputation is the cornerstone of business cooperation. If this brand can suddenly raise prices after the initial agreement, there's no guarantee that there won't be further complications in future cooperation."

Liu Hongni looked helpless. "I know that, but other brands on the market charge higher agency fees. With my current financial situation, I simply can't afford it."

Chen Feng picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and seemed to be thinking about something.

On the other side, Liu Hongni and Ning Yao began to whisper, and they kept glancing at Chen Feng, obviously talking about him.

"Yaoyao, ask your Chen Feng to support me more." Liu Hongni said half-jokingly.

"I can't make the decision." Ning Yao responded with a smile.

"Little rascal, give me your shares. I'm helping you save for your dowry!"

"Oh, thank you. I think you want to save up the dowry yourself!"

As the two of them were laughing and joking, Chen Feng's voice suddenly interrupted: "Hongni, have you considered where to sell your cosmetics?"

Liu Hongni was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I plan to apply for a counter at a department store."

"That pattern is a bit small." said Chen Feng.
