rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 449

Chapter 449 Starting over

Speaking of the second generation of rich people, Chen Li actually had a lot of contact with them in his previous life.

But the status of the two was different at that time.

Although Chen Li often calls himself brothers with some rich second generation people, in fact he is very clear about his own identity.

He is just a nightclub staff member.

At that time, Chen Li often talked about some famous second-generation rich people, and often said that he knew them, and even said that they were friends with them.

But in fact, he was just deliberately raising his status in an attempt to get to know more rich second generations.

The purpose is actually very simple. The more people he knows, the more people will come to his nightclub to spend money.

However, at that time, Chen Li was not considered a figure even in the nightclub circle, so even if he knew the second generation rich, there were actually very few super rich second generations.

The term rich second generation was actually used a bit too often in previous lives.

Basically, the family has some money and fixed assets, and the previous generation has a very good annual income. Such people are often called the rich second generation.

But the money in the hands of most of these rich second generations does not actually meet the standards of the "rich" second generation.

The "rich second generation" that ordinary people think of is probably a spendthrift who often buys and uses luxury goods and enjoys various high-end services every day.

But looking at the whole country, there are actually not many "rich second generations" who truly meet this standard.

Therefore, in reality, the rich second generation is more likely to have money at home, but the rich second generation themselves do not have many assets at their disposal.

And those so-called luxury cars and mansions are basically obtained by the rich second generation from their parents.

Of course, this kind of division is limited to the rich second generation group, and it has completely different meanings from ordinary people.

In his previous life, Chen Li also saw some people who spent tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands without batting an eyelid or waving a hand.

But generally this kind of consumption is not much. It usually occurs on the birthday of a rich second generation or other purposeful occasions.

No one’s money is blown by the strong wind. Even if it is the money of the second generation of rich people, don’t they still have to ask for it from the first generation of rich people?

Of course, it may also be that the level of management of Chen Li was too low at that time, and he never had the opportunity to meet the kind of truly top-notch rich second generation.

But Chen Li saw him today!

In order to express his apology for quitting Shennong Beer, Lucas directly gave Chen Li a beer hall in the old town of Munich.

This beer hall covers an area of more than 600 square meters. According to the current housing prices in Munich, the value of this beer hall alone is estimated to exceed 10 million Chinese dollars.

And this pub should be considered a shop, right? The price of a shop must be higher than that of an apartment.

Therefore, Chen Li did not dare to accept this gift of apology.

Who expresses apology and gives away a pub worth tens of millions of dollars?

Chen Li wouldn't dare accept this anyway.

To be fair~ Although the relationship between Chen Li and Lucas is indeed considered to be friends, these friends are also close and distant.

If Lucas were replaced by Li Yuan, the two grew up together, and the other was still a super rich second generation. In order to express his apology, Chen Li might really be able to accept it.

But how long have Lucas and Chen Li known each other?

Chen Liu is not a fool ~ he knows that there is no possibility of pie falling in the sky.

Therefore, Chen Li would definitely refuse this gift of apology.

But Lucas always insisted that Chen Li accept it.

According to the explanation given by Lucas, this matter was actually arranged by his father.

To put it simply, this incident taught Lucas a lesson, allowing him to clearly understand his own abilities and his previous ambitions.

Previously, Lucas had no intention of inheriting the family business, but was more interested in the Internet.

So this guy took some money from his family and founded an Internet company.

Then there was nothing left.

Chen Li read a sentence on the Internet in his previous life: He is not afraid of the rich second generation spending money randomly, but he is afraid of the rich second generation starting their own business.

Fortunately, Lucas was not crazy at the time, but chose to travel to China with his parents, and then met Chen Li.

So Lucas joined Chen Li's beer business, but as a result, he seemed to have messed up again.

But this time, Lucas seemed to clearly understand his abilities, so he had a heart-to-heart talk with his father.

It was precisely because of this heart-to-heart talk that Lucas decided to return to his family business for training, so he was ready to quit Shennong Beer.

But this kind of behavior is naturally unfair to Chen Li.

So Lucas’ father proposed to give Chen Li some compensation!

And this compensation is not simply to compensate Chen Li, but also to teach Lucas a lesson that remains fresh in his memory.

In this way, whenever Lucas wants to do something beyond his ability in the future, he can be given a reminder.

Okay~ To put it bluntly, Lucas's father regarded this incident as an example of educating his children.

Seriously speaking ~ In fact, this wave of Chen Li is not bad at all.

The total investment in Shennong Beer is only 10 million Chinese dollars, but the value of this pub is no less than this investment.

Not to mention the 10 million Huaxia coins, not much was actually spent.

If he stops his losses now and gives up investing in the beer industry, then Chen Li will not only not lose money, but he can even directly make a lot of money.

But that's not how things are discussed. If it is simply measured by money, then the meaning of the matter will change.

If this matter ends here, although Chen Li will not lose money, he will poach Deng Weimin.

When he first recruited Deng Weimin, Chen Li boasted loudly. Later, in order to let Deng Weimin take charge of Shennong Beer, Chen Li said at that time that he would provide him with adequate protection.

If Chen Li backs down now, even if he compensates Deng Weimin financially, the meaning of this matter will be completely different.

So in the end, Chen Li rejected Lucas' compensation. To be precise, he accepted half of it!

The owner of the pub is still Lucas~ but Chen Li rented the right to operate the shop for ten years at a price of 1 mark.

It was definitely impossible for Chen Li to accept such a big gift from the other party for no reason, even if the other party was expressing his apology.

Although Chen Li didn't know if what Lucas said had any other purpose, even if it didn't, he wouldn't accept it.

So renting this tavern is not only an acceptance of the apology expressed by the other party, but also he really wants this tavern to do something.

With the current status quo, it is obviously impossible to rely on Lucas's rich second-generation status to open up the market.

And once without the help of Lucas, a local, it would be difficult for Deng Weimin to open the German market alone. It would undoubtedly be hellish.

No~ basically this is impossible to accomplish.

In fact, choosing Germany as the bridgehead to develop overseas markets at the beginning was a hellish start in itself.

You know, the Germans' preference for beer is not only reflected in beer sales.

For Germans, the best beer is definitely brewed by Germans.

It was precisely for this reason that Chen Licai chose to exchange Shennong beer from the system to slap Lucas in the face when he made such nonsense.

It can be said that without this incident, none of the subsequent series of events would have happened.

But now that things have happened, we naturally have to look forward.

After discussing with Deng Weimin, Chen Li decided to temporarily give up the idea of exploring the German market.

But at the same time, Chen Li planned to redeem several more beer recipes from the system mall, and then build the Shennong Brewery in China first.

This time~Chen Li plans to figure it out slowly.

Abandon Germany, a big beer country, and start from other places where competition in the beer industry is not that fierce.

And in this case, Chen Li's trip to Germany is of little significance.

On the day she arrived in Germany, with the help of Lucas's assistant, Zhou Xiaoli completed various procedures for admission.

The assistant even thoughtfully helped Zhou Xiaoli contact a landlord where he had rented when he was studying at Heidelberg University.

Heidelberg University is different from those universities in China. Although there are student dormitories, the student dormitories are very tight.

For international students, applying for a student dormitory is not as good as renting an apartment directly.

After everything was arranged, Chen Li followed Lucas to Munich despite Zhou Xiaoli's reluctance.

Don't get me wrong, Zhou Xiaoli's reluctance is not because she has any other thoughts about Chen Li.

The reason why she was reluctant to let go was simply because in this strange country, Chen Li was already the last person she was familiar with.

When Chen Li left, the whole of Heidelberg was just a stranger to Zhou Xiaoli.

But Zhou Xiaoli will have to get used to all this sooner or later.

So although she felt a little reluctant to give up, Zhou Xiaoli did not stop Chen Li. After all, Chen Li came to Germany for business.

After leaving Heidelberg, Chen Li arrived in Munich that evening.

He was first treated to an authentic German meal by Lucas, but to be honest, German food was really not that friendly to a Sichuanese.

German food is mainly sour~salty~sweet, which Chen Li, who is used to Sichuan food, really doesn't like.

Strictly speaking, it is not just German cuisine. Many Western dishes are seasoned with various fruit sauces, cream, cheese and other items.

This is really a problem for Sichuan people who have spicy tastes.

On the other hand, Deng Weimin, who is from the Northeast, is not very used to German food, but he can still adapt to it.

So when Chen Li returned to the hotel room that Lucas had arranged for him, Chen Li immediately put up the DND sign, and then took out a small bag of braised pork head meat from the system space.

Not only that, Chen Li even took out a bottle from the system space. This bottle contained the dipping water he prepared when he was in China.

In fact, it would be really beautiful if there were two steamed buns at this time.

Unfortunately, being in a foreign country, Chen Li could only make do with it.

After Chen Li had eaten the pork head, he had just finished cleaning up and was about to take a rest, when he heard a knock on the door.

The person who came was Deng Weimin. He had been in Germany for more than a month, and as a result, things turned out to be like this.

This frustrated Deng Weimin!

Yes, there is more than one Lucas who suffered setbacks. In fact, the person who suffered the greatest setbacks was Deng Weimin.

This eldest brother quit the Snowflake Group and was already prepared to change industries. However, Chen Li slapped his head and created Shennong Beer.

Not only that, Chen Li also poured a large pot of chicken soup for Deng Weimin, which greatly stimulated Deng Weimin.

As a result, several months have passed, and the progress of Shennong Beer can only be described in two words. That’s it!

So now Deng Weimin is actually a little confused. On the one hand, he is confused about the future of Shennong Beer, and at the same time, he is also confused about his own future.

Sometimes, Deng Weimin actually regretted it.

He regrets resigning from Snowflake Group and regrets agreeing to Chen Li's invitation. If all this had not happened, he should still be the person in charge of Yanjing Branch of Snowflake Group.

Even when he encountered setbacks, Deng Weimin thought about what had happened if he had not listened to Chen Li's advice and had not fallen out with the old leader.

Although they will definitely be oppressed in the future, there are many people who are oppressed in this world, and Deng Weimin is not the least of them.

Of course, Deng Weimin only had these thoughts occasionally.

In fact, he knew very well that even without Chen Li, the relationship between him and the old leader would not be sustainable.

Once a crack occurs, it is difficult to make up for it, not to mention that his old leader never thought about making up for it.

If Deng Weimin gets used to being squeezed by the other party, in the end Deng Weimin will only be squeezed to a greater extent.

Sooner or later, even without Chen Li's reminder, he would still break up with the old leader.

And at that time, he might not even have a way out.

At the very least~ now he still has a Chen Li to help him figure it out.

"Brother, I didn't handle this matter well!"

Simply looking at the work itself, Deng Weimin did not do a good job this time.

Although it was very difficult to open up the German market right from the start, Deng Weimin himself played a somewhat small role in this matter.

He couldn't even communicate with the locals. He had to go through a translator to hear what Lucas and the other party were talking about.

As the former head of the Snowflake Group branch, although Deng Weimin also experienced the test of market development, the test he faced at that time was not at the same level as now.

Moreover, in the past when it came to market development, Deng Weimin could only be regarded as a general, but this time, his identity was that of a handsome man.

Although both belong to management, the actual division of labor is different.

Deng Weimin's ability is more reflected in getting one thing done well, but if he is asked to take charge of the overall situation, he is still a little more than capable.

"It's okay~Brother Deng!"

Chen Li wiped his mouth with a tissue and shook his head.

"This time ~ my responsibility is greater."

"I trusted Lucas too much and ignored the difficulty of developing overseas markets."

This time is actually a lesson for Chen Li.

This incident made Chen Li realize one thing clearly: not everything from the future can be enjoyed in the current era.

The product itself is important, but the existence of other factors is equally important.

"Brother Deng~Don't be discouraged!"

"This failure should be regarded as a lesson."

"Let's start from scratch!"

“The top priority~ we should lay a solid foundation first.”

As Chen Li spoke, he began to make calculations.
