Chapter 359 The Bionic Man(1/2)
Chapter 359 Bionic Man
According to the original schedule, Chen Li actually only had to accompany Professor Lu for one day.
After all, it’s not a task or a business activity, it’s just catching up with classmates, and one day is enough.
If the original plan was followed, Chen Li would return to school with Professor Lu after dinner that day.
However, the real fact is that Professor Lu did return to school, but Chen Li was left behind.
Chen Li will serve as the tour guide for Ms. Laura and Mr. Lucas, taking them to visit Yanjing and surrounding areas in the next few days.
To be honest, Chen Li felt very angry, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
Because this matter itself is actually a good opportunity for a college student majoring in German.
Not only can you practice your German skills, but you can also make friends with rich second-generation Germans and their mothers.
The other party even paid Chen Li a tour guide fee, two hundred yuan a day!
The company even sent a car and a driver to take care of Ms. Laura and Lucas' travel.
If Chen Lizhen was a German college student with good academic performance, this opportunity would actually be quite comfortable for him.
But who is Chen Li?
After all, he is the owner of a system, the reborn person of destiny~ With these two levels of BUFF~ it can be said that as long as Chen Lili, it is not impossible to become the richest man in the world in the future!
But such an awesome person was reduced to working as a tour guide for two foreigners in May of 1999.
This left Chen Li speechless~but also helpless!
Professor Lu was naturally kind-hearted, but Chen Li was not willing to accept her kindness.
But being unwilling does not mean that you can refuse. When Professor Lu took out a big flag for Chen Li, unless Chen Lili made Professor Lu angry, he had no choice but to agree.
After all, Professor Lu really does it for his own good!
This sentence is probably one of the hardest reasons to refuse in the world!
Similar reasons~ There are also things like "Don't think I'm a brother, but XXXX if you are a brother" and so on!
To be honest, this is actually a kind of emotional and moral kidnapping, and it often develops among family members and friends.
Because that relationship is there, it is difficult for many people to reject these reasons.
Of course, Chen Li himself does not care about this kind of moral kidnapping. If Professor Lu really wants to kidnap him morally, then Chen Li may not necessarily agree.
But Professor Lu did not do this. She first explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly, and then gave the choice to Chen Li.
To be fair, this method is simply more uncomfortable than moral kidnapping.
Chen Li couldn't even find a suitable and sufficient reason to reject Professor Lu. This was the root of Chen Li's helplessness.
In addition, Lucas and Chen Li get along quite happily. Well, Chen Li is actually a little annoyed with this guy, but to be honest, this guy is actually okay.
Maybe it's because it's his first time in China. This guy and his parents don't have the same feeling as some foreigners who have lived in China for a long time!
Some foreigners in China, what should I say, may be spoiled by some people in China.
It would be great if Chen Li would not act as a tour guide for those people and not deal with them.
Yes~ Chen Li finally agreed to the invitation!
But before taking Ms. Laura and Lucas on a trip, Chen Li needed help solving the beer problem.
This problem is actually easy to solve. Chen Li only needs to place an order with Shennong Food.
But the price of this beer really shocked Director Liu.
A box of beer costs 480 yuan, and there are only 24 bottles in a box. On average, a bottle of beer is equivalent to 20 yuan in Chinese currency.
There are some problems! You know, even 20 years later, this price is not cheap.
Even twenty years later, most people's concept of beer consumption still remains at the concept of "cheap".
For beer, ten yuan is basically a barrier.
Beer types that cost ten yuan or less have pretty good data in terms of sales volume and reputation.
But if it rises to more than ten yuan, then the first reaction of most people is
not worth!
It’s not like domestic breweries in previous lives have never produced high-end beers. For example, Snowflake once produced a beer called... Uh, well, Chen Li can't remember what that thing was called.
The only thing that Chen Li can remember is the price of that thing, which is as high as 500 yuan!
To be fair, this is definitely not a mid-to-high-end beer, but an IQ tax!
Chen Li has tasted that beer, and I have to admit that it does taste better than the ordinary beer on the market.
But this price directly separates this kind of beer from ordinary people.
Basically, unless there are any special circumstances, ordinary people will definitely not spend 500 yuan to buy a bottle of beer!
Of course, Snowflake’s positioning of this wine itself is not for ordinary people to consume.
But this also causes an embarrassment, that is, ordinary cheap beer does not taste good, but people cannot afford to drink good-tasting beer.
In the same way, when Shennong Beer appeared in China in 1999 with a shipping price of 20 yuan per bottle, it is estimated that except for a very small group of people, few people could afford it.
Just like Director Liu from the factory office, he said yesterday that price was not a problem, but when Chen Li quoted him a selling price of 480 yuan per box, Director Liu looked at Chen Li like he was a fool.
.
And the selling price of 480 yuan is only the shipping price from Shennong Beer.
If Chen Li wants to do this business, it means that the price of this beer will be higher.
If Chen Li can't sell a bottle of beer that costs 20 yuan for 25-30 yuan, then it means nothing.
Of course~ Chen Li did not choose to make this money.
The price of this beer is destined to be impossible to become popular in 1999, so the best option is to order directly from Shennong Foods when needed.
Chen Li was too lazy to make the difference, so he just sold it at a low price.
But even so~ Director Liu thought that Chen Li was taking advantage of the fact that Germans liked to drink this beer to trick him.
It’s not that 20 yuan a bottle of wine is too expensive, nor is it that the company behind Director Liu can’t afford it.
At the previous reception, besides beer, Wuliangye was placed on the table.
A bottle of this thing costs more than 200 yuan, and the hotel price is probably even more expensive. So consumption is definitely no problem, but a bottle of beer that costs 20 yuan is somewhat fooling people into thinking they are fools.
But even so~ Director Liu did not refuse, and in the end he almost gritted his teeth and agreed.
Of course Chen Li knew what Director Liu was thinking~ He didn't bother to explain and directly gave the other party the phone number of Manager Hu from Shennong Foods.
Then something unexpected happened to Chen Li.
When Director Liu called to order a drink, he was actually rejected by Manager Hu.
The reason for rejection is that the items produced by Shennong Food are not sold to outsiders.
Only members certified by Shennong Food can order corresponding items from Shennong Food.
Don't tell me~ Just this operation, the power of Shennong Beer was fully enhanced in an instant.
Now Director Liu didn't mind that Shennong Beer was priced at 20 yuan, so he directly came over to ask Chen Li for help ordering the beer.
To be honest~ Chen Li didn’t know that outsiders couldn’t order things from Shennong Food~!
As for the member that Manager Hu mentioned, Chen Li has some understanding, and he is probably the only member on the planet.
In other words, except for Chen Li, it is impossible for anyone else to buy anything from Shennong Foods.
This also means that Shennong Food was actually founded by the system specifically for Chen Li?
Chen Li's first reaction at that time was whether the staff of Shennong Food were human beings?
As early as when Chen Li's fried chicken restaurant opened, Chen Li came into contact with Manager Hu from Shennong Foods for the first time.
At that time, Chen Li suspected that the other person might not be a real person. He even squeezed the other person hard while shaking hands.
It turned out later that the guy seemed to be a real person. Whether it was the touch from his palm or the reaction after being pinched by Chen Li, they were no different from a real person!
Therefore, this question was rejected by Chen Li at the time.
Especially later, Chen Li went to the company location of Shennong Food and met the staff of Shennong Food except Manager Hu.
Anyway, at that time, Chen Li felt that Shennong Food was a food company operating normally.
The only abnormal thing is probably that Shennong Food must have a lot to do with the system. It’s just that Chen Li didn’t find the specific point of contact between the two!
But now Chen Li started to have doubts again.
Because if it is true, as Manager Hu said, that Shennong Foods only targets him, the host member, then how on earth does such a large Shennong Foods company exist in this world.
First of all, Chen Li actually ordered very few things from the system.
In the early days, Chen Li mainly ordered the ingredients needed for the fried chicken restaurant directly from the system.
Now with the development of chicken farms, the amount of food materials has actually begun to gradually decline, and the items purchased from Shennong Food have become chicken chicks and feed.
To be continued...
