Chapter 645 Chain Cafe
"No, the main thing is that I have you in my heart, and other boys can't look down on you. One day when we got together, Rose said, Aiping and they have children, are we looking for a boy to marry. As a result, I was scolded by me, Peony, and Jasmine. β
"You're really a tendon, too."
"What's the solution? You are the first Chinese man we have seen, and we feel in our hearts that Chinese men should be like you, and they can't change it. In the afternoon, let's go back to the coffee house. I have a house upstairs in the coffee house. β
"Okay, let's go. Fleur, how much money has you made over the years? β
"The first two years were to open up the market, and the investment was Aiping, Aihe, and Aitang, and there was no profit, so we shared 3 or 400,000 US dollars, and then we used the money to open some coffee houses ourselves, and the scale of operation became larger and larger, and the profits became more and more. In the first half of this year, I earned $3.2 million. Roses and jasmine are similar, and peonies are slightly more, about 4 million. β
"What about Aiping?"
"The three of them, as well as Guo Ruilan and Sister Guo, are different from us, the three of them are mainly engaged in buying coffee from our country, our store sells coffee and coffee beans that they distribute, and the coffee trees in their own homes have also borne fruit, the harvest is good, and everyone should have hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. Sister Guo distributes South American coffee, and her business is very big and her profits are high. So what kind of cat coffee, it's frighteningly expensive, and how much profit she makes, we don't know. β
Wuyang said: "I heard Aiping say that their funds have been invested, and there is no profit." β
"Buy a faΓ§ade and a building in China. Growing coffee in Ethiopia. It's all about making money. Of course, I have to put it in. I have invested all the money I have earned in the past few years, and I have borrowed $3 million from Aitang, bought land in my hometown to plant 200 hectares of coffee trees, and bought more than 50 storefronts and more than 50 houses in China. β
"Furong, if you are as rich as Aitang, how big are you going to do?"
"You're going to give me money, aren't you? Then I first want to plant as many coffee trees in my hometown as there are in Aitang. Then I went to Europe and the Americas to open cafes, where there are a lot of people who like our coffee. Of course. I won't lose this place, because you're here. β
"Thank you for thinking of me all the time. How big is the coffee garden in their house? β
"I heard her say last year that it has been planted for three consecutive years, 50,000 hectares per year, and I don't know if it has been planted again this year. The first year of planting, last year has already had a relatively large harvest, so that the price of coffee in our country has decreased, and their profits are even more. β
"How much coffee do they sell each year?"
"Aitang sold 2,200 tons of coffee and 1,600 tons of coffee beans the year before last. Last year, sales soared to more than 4,000 tonnes as coffee and beans were put on the shelves of many supermarkets. There should be more of it this year. β
"What kind of business model do you and Aitang have?"
"They are your people, and if you give them a lot of money, they will have the capital to buy coffee in their hometowns, and then open cafes in municipalities and provincial capitals and special zones, where they can wholesale coffee, be individual customers, and also run restaurants. In addition to helping them manage cafes in a large region, we also set up coffee houses in various prefecture-level cities and scenic tourist areas, and we bought the goods from them. Some of the South American coffees distributed by Sister Guo are sold in a cafΓ©, and in some big cities, they have their own separate cafes. You will see a lot of coffee houses on the roadside, including Aitang's, Sister Guo's, and others'. β
"The three of them should be Aitang's smallest business, right?"
"It's not too small. Aiping operates North China and Northeast China, Aihe operates East China and South China, although the business is good, the area of Lovely Tang is wide, and she is operating in several provinces in the central region, southwest and northwest. β
"You went with Aitang, it should be good."
"I didn't take over all the places she runs, and there are two good provinces in the central part that have been given to peonies. But overall, it's pretty good. β
"It's hard work for you to manage so many coffee houses."
"I really like this industry, and I don't feel hard. I ran back and forth in several provinces and cities, and got to know a lot of people, which was quite interesting. If you sit at home thinking about you all day and ignore us, isn't it crazy? β
"It's not that I'm ignoring you, but I'm also in trouble. Furong, you speak Chinese so well, people can't believe that you have only been in China for a few years. β
Furong said: "Not only did I learn Mandarin, but I also knew Shancheng dialect, and some customers called me Hei Aqing's sister-in-law, and always asked me where Aqing was." I said, you watched the Peking Opera "Shajiabang", did you see Aqing? β
"It's really sharp."
"It's all the same. Rose is better than us, and she dares to make any joke with the guests, just like the old ladies. β
Wuyang deliberately teased her, "What are you kidding?" β
"It's all below the waistband, you know."
"You know that too."
"Who doesn't understand this kind of thing, you don't need to learn from a teacher. If you don't believe it, I'll let you know right away. β
"It's amazing. Furong, isn't our city also producing coffee, don't you sell it? β
"We don't, Sister Guo's sisters also run cafes, there are more families than ours, and they are selling your coffee. Your coffee is not as original as ours, but it is still very popular after cooperating with internationally renowned brands, using advanced production technology, and having an advantage in price. β
Wuyang said: "There are many people who drink coffee in our country, but there are not many people who really understand coffee, and many people follow the trend and regard it as a fashion." β
"Have you ever drunk our origin coffee since you returned home?"
"Sometimes Aiping and the others also make a cup and drink occasionally."
Fleur stopped the car, "Wuyang, we're here." There is underground parking here, but my car can only be parked here, they know that I am there, and there will be more people coming. Hey, I have to stop today, I want to accompany you. β
"It's easier for us to get in and out from the underground parking lot. β
"Who knows you here? But be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, let's go down. Afternoon Sun. You look here. This building was funded by Aitang. It has 68 floors above ground and 4 floors underground. She left the four floors downstairs and some spaces in the underground parking lot. Wuyang, this person can't be compared with others, Aitang built such a big building here, except for what he kept, he only earned less than 400 million US dollars, and Aiping built a building in the capital. The area is about the same, and what is left is about the same, and it makes more than $1.2 billion. But they don't care, what you give them is enough. β
"Fleur, I'll give you just as much."
"Thank you. Although the day came a little late, I was only 18 years old, and many of us were still in middle school. I've been doing it for a few years, whether it's a business, building a house, or buying a storefront. They all have experience, and they also have a group of talents. It's much better than starting from scratch. At noon, we arrived. β
After getting out of the elevator, Fleur first took the key to open the aisle door, and then opened the four security doors, "Wuyang, this is my home." Aitang said that she would give me 4 houses, but I only had one room, a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen and a toilet, and everything else was full of her coffee. β
Wuyang looked at Furong's residence, "It's a little smaller, it's quite warm." β
Fleur smiled and said, "When the man comes, it's even warmer." Wuyang, is it coffee or something else first? β
"I'll eat chocolate first."
"Come on, ready-made."
Fleur is crazy, and if it weren't for her painful expression and bloodstains, Wuyang wouldn't have believed that she was a girl. After lingering for a long time, Wuyang said, "Furong, I'm hungry, what time is it?" β
"Oh, it's past one o'clock in the afternoon, no wonder you're hungry. There's bread in the fridge, I'll bake it hot, make you a sandwich and have some wine bar. β
"That's how you usually deal with it?"
"No, the cafΓ© here serves food, and I eat with the staff, and sometimes I have to drink with the guests. Do you think bread is not delicious? β
"It's okay, I'll be able to eat in the airport VIP room later, and I'll be home in the evening, there is something delicious." I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it. β
"I'm finer. Wuyang, do you think I'm fatter than before? β
Wuyang smiled: "I've grown up, it's a little more bumpy than before." β
"Do you like it?" Fleur turned on the oven, filled the kettle with water, and sat on Afternoon Sun's lap again.
"Do you want to ask?"
"If you like it, there are a few peonies." Fleur said, and came up again.
"Fleur, you wait, I'll transfer some money to you first, I'm afraid I'll forget it when I'm busy."
Fleur smiled, "Wuyang, you are a real man." β
On the way to the airport, Wuyang called Sister Li to express her gratitude, and called Li Zhiyang again to ask about the purchase of land.
When they got home, it was late, and the family already knew that they had come home and had left their meals. The next day at work, Wuyang called Secretary Hong, reporting that he had gone home and asked for instructions.
Secretary Hong said: "You rest for a few days first, and the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee will be convened next Wednesday, and you can come over in the morning." β
"Dad, I'm fine at home, do you want to go to Yihe to find out the situation?"
"Don't be so anxious, the main reason for Yihe is that the cadres have been corrupted one after another, and the strict zhΓ²ng has affected the development of the economy. I hope that you will be able to find the right entry point and do a good job in economic construction. β
"Dad, according to what you mean, I really don't need to rush to go, my work focuses on the construction of the cadre team and economic construction, and there is no need for me to meddle in the specific anti-corruption work."
"Yes, exactly. A few days earlier, Fei Fei and the child arrived at home, did I send someone to deliver it or did you pick it up? β
"Of course I'm here to pick it up, I came home late last night, I'll come over with a little squint, and invite you and your mother to dinner in the evening."
"Then you have to go to the unit to pick up your mother-in-law, otherwise she will take the bus and won't be able to get home at half past six."
"Okay."
The children around heard that their father was leaving, and they were all disappointed, and the wives knew that in broad daylight, the children did not go to school, and there was no chance, so they all dispersed.
"Shall we swim or go on horseback?"
Sister Xia's daughter, Xiao Yudi, said: "Dad, it's no longer interesting for us to swim in the pool, and now we cross the Lujiang River twice a day, morning and evening." β
"Are they all brothers and sisters?"
"Anyone over 4 years old goes. We're running to go, running back. We started with the summer vacation. There will be no interruption in the winter. β
Wuyang touched her head. Brought the baby and Jingjing closer together. "Li Qing, Li Xi, Li Jing, you are going to study in the United States soon, right?"
Little Raindrop, that is, Li Qing said: "We don't want to go, and my mother and grandparents don't want us to go, so we won't go." β
Luo Hongying, the mother next to her, said: "It's not that they are not allowed to go, but that they will go after they finish high school in China." I don't want my granddaughter to be very knowledgeable, but she must behave like a Chinese lady. Can't be like Westerners. β
Wuyang smiled: "Mom, don't you think it's quite good for you to have so many foreign daughters-in-law?" β
Luo Hongying said: "If the foreign daughter-in-law does not have the United States, it will be fine in other places." β
"You are prejudiced, people are different from each other, and the environment can also change people's behavior."
"Okay, mom won't argue with you, anyway, our daughter-in-law in the family will be as good as I want. Li Jing, Li Qing, it's hot at noon, so you all go to read and study by yourself. Go to bed when you're tired. Your dad came home late at night and was going to leave later. You have to take a break. β
The children dispersed all of a sudden, and the wives went to their villas in the afternoon sun. This time, the personnel arrived more together, and even roses, peonies, and jasmine, got the news from Hibiscus and rushed home. There were only 10 who returned to China to give birth, and Cai Ji and 5 of them went out, Bao'er, Peng Yan, and Ganlu who stayed in Lanjiang, and Hong Feifei, Huang Li, and Relisha who were in the capital did not arrive.
After entering the villa, Xiaoya said: "Wuyang, now that there are more sisters, the single rooms here can only be changed to double rooms." β
Wuyang said: "Move the shelves that occupy the rooms to each room, and you can free up more than 20 rooms, isn't it enough?" β
"In that case, even if we all go home, it should be enough."
Belle said, "Wuyang, let's go home and live." β
Wuyang said with a smile: "The villa is still enough, everyone has their own villa, the room here is reserved for people who have not had enough fun, and I still have to harass everyone in the morning." β
Pei Lei smiled and said, "Wuyang, didn't you drive us away with this?" β
Wu Fang said: "We are all old wives, and you can't get rid of it." Wuyang, I think it's like this, if there is a room, they will continue to live, and if they don't have a room, they will make room for them, and if it is not enough, they will live in the villa, and it is good to move around more. The most important thing is the construction of a new home, which must have enough rooms. β
"Belle, call your brother when you have time and ask him to send the design drawings over to see."
Xiaoya said: "I have a backup of the drawings here, when will I show it to you." However, the construction has already begun, and at least the foundation cannot be changed. β
Wuyang said, "Then forget it." It has been more than a year since the beginning, and the foundation part of such a big project should be good. β
Xiaoya smiled: "Now as long as you have money, you can do anything quickly." Some time ago, I went to take a look, and the underwater works, the underground works, have been completed. I was going to send you the drawings, but you didn't send them when you came back, and it is estimated that you are engaged in a highway connecting the national highway in the past few days. β
Wuyang said: "In a private place, do you still build a big road? β
"It's not a big highway, it's an underground highway, so you can go and see it when you have time. Let's go upstairs. β
Xiaoya took everyone upstairs with Wuyang. Once in the room, everyone couldn't wait to take off and take a shower. Seeing this, Kim Jung-hee, Park Soon-young, and Park Jie-young hurriedly walked out, and Xiao Ya grabbed them, "It's okay to take a look, won't you be like your sisters soon?" β
Kim Jung-hee said with a smile: "We've seen it too, and I can't help myself when I look at it." But Wuyang agreed with us that he would use force on us. β
Pei Lei asked, "Why use strong?" β
Park Soon-young said: "It's the agreement between Wuyang and us. He wants us, and we desperately resist it, and we can't let him succeed lightly. β
Pei Lei asked: "We were originally Wuyang's wife, why don't we let him succeed lightly?" β
Kim Jung-hee said: "Men have a desire to conquer, and their sisters are obediently lying on the bed and fiddling with him. You don't know, the afternoon sun makes us wear military uniforms and belts. β
Pei Lei said: "No wonder Aiping and they are still wearing national costumes on such a hot day, it turns out that there are many tricks in the afternoon sun." β
Peony asked, "What about after he succeeds?" β
Kim Jung-hee smiled and said, "My beautiful black pearl, we haven't been caught by him yet, and we don't know these things yet." β
"It turns out that you are the same as us, it seems that we have nothing to do today, let's play."
Park Soon-young asked, "Furong, what are you all playing?" β
"It's nothing, it's just singing and dancing, doing some difficult Chinese word practice. Swimming and shopping are all together. β
"I heard that I have deer and crocodiles at home, and I like deer the most, shall we go and see them?" Kim Jung-hee said.
Jasmine said, "We want to see it, but we don't know where. Sister Xiaoying and they knew, but they had just come back, and they were embarrassed to let them take it. The mother-in-law said that the family originally raised a deer, but it was bitten to death by a Tibetan mastiff within a few days, and the sister cried for several days, so the mother-in-law was not allowed to bring the deer back to raise it. β
Kim Jung-hee said: "It's okay if you don't raise it, there are so many Tibetan mastiffs at home, it's pitiful to bite to death." Peony, let's go and ask Sister Xiaoying, where is the deer farm, there is a GPS in the car, let's go by ourselves. β
"It's still tomorrow, look at this outside, the temperature is high, and the sun is very strong. Why don't we go for a swim in the pool at the gate? Rose said.
Park Soon-young said: "You guys go, we don't go, we're afraid of the sun." β
"If you're afraid, we're not afraid?"
"Of course I'm not afraid." (To be continued......)
