The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 331 The Situation of the Dating Partner

Jiang Fei didn't get back by bus until after 7:30. She was humming English songs on the way back and was in a very happy mood.

For young men and women, their yearning for love, everything is beautiful.

Jiang Cheng is already over 40, and he no longer has any feelings or love. In the past, every time he took advantage of Zhou Lingying, he was actually quite happy and felt sweet. Now, he may feel more of family affection, a sense of belonging and sustenance.

Before Jiang Fei came back, Shen Li told Jiang Cheng about the general situation of her dating partner.

They were from the same private university, which meant their family conditions were not too bad. For Jiang Fei to be attracted to her, her looks were definitely a must.

Even with the current assets of the Jiang family, they are still among the richest families in Hong Kong. The story of a rich girl falling in love with a poor boy is something that directors make for the poor.

It is an undeniable fact that the starting point of rich people is higher than that of poor people. In terms of educational conditions, they start higher than many people.

The private schools in Hong Kong have advanced teaching staff and educational concepts. In China, kindergartens just let children play and only start learning pinyin and characters in the first grade.

But Jiang Fei and Jiang Yue could speak English when they were in kindergarten, and they could write some things in Chinese and English. If they have money, although they cannot provide one-on-one teaching in school, they will cultivate the children's interests and develop a special teaching plan.

Therefore, in terms of academic excellence, poor people are basically worse than rich people unless they have strong talents.

In terms of knowledge, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.

It is normal for wealthy people in Hong Kong to travel abroad to broaden their horizons. What you can learn from textbooks is really limited. Many of the lives and things that upper-class people come into contact with will never appear in textbooks or in the lives of ordinary people.

Eating steak and tasting red wine are commonplace for rich people.

Ordinary people are still choosing which jewelry is cheap and good-looking at street stalls, while rich people are talking about design concepts and values.

So the only places where a real rich lady falls in love with a poor boy are in novels and movies.

In real life, this kind of thing basically doesn't happen. If a poor boy marries a girl whose family has millions of assets, and this is considered a rich lady, then I can only laugh.

Millions of dollars in wealth can only mean a carefree life, but it does not mean you have escaped from the lower class. With such wealth, you may feel bad if you spend tens of thousands of dollars on a meal.

A simple meal for Jiang Cheng's family could easily cost over 10,000 yuan. As for the cruise ship, if Jiang Cheng's family didn't go on a sea cruise, the monthly expenses would not be something a millionaire could afford.

A cruise ship has a fixed captain and one or two crew members. It needs regular maintenance and consumes a lot of fuel for a trip to the sea.

Besides, Jiang Cheng now has his own helicopter, and the salary of a pilot in Hong Kong is not low. Millionaires are just a joke in the eyes of real rich people and big families.

Therefore, the person Jiang Fei is looking for is at least someone who has similar consumption concepts.

Find a poor guy who is ugly just because he has good academic performance, and then goes out without knowing anything, and is treated as a clown in some high-end places. The rich girl still has a lot of sympathy for him, that's what she likes.

Jiang Fei's date is a Chinese-British mixed race guy from the same school. His family is in the jewelry business and has jewelry stores in Hong Kong and other places.

How to say it, their wealth cannot even compare to that of the Jiang family, but they can still be considered a wealthy family in Hong Kong.

The Jiang family's villas, hotels, more than 20 shopping malls and supermarkets in Hong Kong, and some Wanzi brand stores are all worth at least 10 billion.

However, Jiang Cheng has a lot of real estate and land that people don't know about, and his early wealth accumulation was helped by space. Many raw materials have little cost, so the profit will be many times higher than the budget.

Jiang Cheng had tens of billions of fixed assets, and the industry he ran was mainly based on working capital. Later, he moved all of them to the island country and reaped the benefits of a big economic bubble.

Therefore, the level that can compete with the Jiang family is no longer in China and Hong Kong. But looking at the whole world, there are actually many who can compete with the Jiang family.

For example, the DuPont family currently controls a fortune of 150 billion US dollars, and this is not even the top. The Rothschild family established the largest financial empire in this era and controlled the world's major gold markets.

There is also the Rockefeller family, one of the richest families in America, engaged in businesses such as oil and finance.

Compared with the two families behind, Jiang Cheng is still not on the same level. However, their family members are large and have a long history. Jiang Cheng now has hundreds of billions of US dollars, which is already very impressive.

If Jiang Cheng had not seized the economic bubble of the island country, his strength in Hong Kong would only be considered first-rate, not top-notch. He could not compare with Lao Li and Lao Liu.

Another problem is that Jiangcheng's industry is currently single. Domestic shopping malls look good, but prices are low and profits are relatively low. The profits of more than 20 shopping malls in Hong Kong can exceed those of the current 60 shopping malls in China.

This is because there are always some popular products on sale in the country, otherwise some shopping malls would not make much profit in a year.

Of course, this profit is not much. If you look at the investment and return, the profit is actually not low. Investing in a shopping mall in this era only makes a few million, and some cities with average economy can make hundreds of thousands of profits every year.

Places like Shenzhen, Shanghai and the other four major cities make millions of dollars in profits every year. The good cities can earn back their costs in one or two years. Such profits make many people jealous.

But the annual profit of more than 60 shopping malls in China in this era does not exceed 100 million. For Jiang Cheng, it is a bit boring.

However, with the price and economic growth, the annual growth of shopping malls is still very gratifying. Except for Shenzhen, Shanghai and a few good cities, the salary level in the early 1990s was still around 100 yuan, which is at least 50 times higher than that more than 20 years later.

One hundred million may not seem like much to Jiang Cheng, but it is considered a huge fortune in this era in China.

Jiang Cheng's wealth can now be compared with some big families, but his profitability may not even be a fraction of theirs.

Therefore, in terms of apparent wealth and profitability, the family of the person Jiang Fei is dating now may be much worse than the Jiang family. But in terms of being well-matched, they are almost the same.

You have to know that Jiang Fei is not the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, but the daughter of a concubine. If the family is of the same level of wealth as the Jiang family, they would not choose a concubine's daughter for marriage.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be funny. What era is it, and there is still a distinction between legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters? When China was just liberated, the lower the birth, the more glorious it was. I am poor but I am proud.

But in Hong Kong, a place that values ​​capital, some aspects are just so traditional. "Daddy, my dear daddy, can I ask you a favor?" After Jiang Fei came back, she saw her daddy Jiang Cheng and immediately went up to him happily, took his arm and acted like a spoiled child.

"Don't give me that crap. What's the matter?" Before Jiang Cheng even mentioned that Jiang Fei had found a boyfriend to date, she came to him for help first.

"Daddy, I have a boyfriend and his family is in the jewelry business. Can our shopping malls cooperate with each other and set up a jewelry counter in every mall?" Jiang Fei asked with a sweet smile.

This girl has just started dating a boyfriend, and she is already outgoing and wants to help others. Jiang Cheng really wants to shake off Jiang Fei's arm and sternly admonish her for making friends.

But Jiang Cheng couldn't bear to break up the couple when Jiang Fei was smiling. It would be more appropriate for Shen Li to tell his daughter not to check into a hotel with someone else.

"Xiao Fei, you are still young, and some things are indeed very simple for our family. But can you guarantee that you can stay with your boyfriend forever? Once you break up, you can kick him out of the store." Jiang Cheng refused.

Once a man and a woman become lovers, most of them can't even be friends after breaking up. Jiang Fei just got a boyfriend. If they really like each other, men and women will please each other. It doesn't mean that helping her boyfriend is paying for it.

But Jiang Fei is still young, even if she gets married right after graduating from college, it will take two years. Before they become a family, it is best not to have any business dealings. Otherwise, after the breakup, if the Jiang family cuts off the business dealings, they will say that the Jiang family is too realistic.

If Jiang Fei is love-brained and is madly in love with her boyfriend right after they start dating and is determined to help him, then Jiang Cheng can only give in to his daughter.

After hearing what her father said, Jiang Fei thought about it for a while. She didn't know what she thought of. She immediately agreed with Jiang Cheng's statement and planned to put the cooperation with her boyfriend's family on hold.

Jiang Cheng looked at his daughter's expression and felt a tremor in his heart. His position was so unsteady. Jiang Cheng was a little worried. Not to mention that his daughter would love someone to death, he was afraid that his daughter would inherit his shy personality and would not be serious about interacting with others.

In the hall, Jiang Cheng talked with his daughter for a while and got to know her boyfriend in more detail.

First of all, it must be in line with Jiang Fei's aesthetics. She thinks she is good-looking. Then the other party's family is in the jewelry business. She has some talent in jewelry and design, and she can talk to Jiang Fei about this. She also has some talent and knowledge, and has been to several countries.

In general, they fit the image of the upper class elite. But the higher the society, the more fake it is. In order to socialize in the circle, many young people are more pretentious.

For example, Jiang Cheng’s two daughters now are not completely different at home and in front of outsiders, but there are still quite a few differences.

Many second-generation wealthy people do not come from large families, so they do not need to compete directly with their brothers and sisters. Many of them have chaotic private lives. Only those large families have to meet certain requirements in terms of character, talent, and private life in order to be recognized by their elders.

Anyway, it was impossible for Jiang Fei to cooperate with the family of her current boyfriend, so Jiang Cheng let her have a boyfriend. Even if she did, she still had to focus on her studies at this age.

After talking with Jiang Fei, Jiang Cheng and Zheng Ke took Zheng Shuang upstairs first, leaving Shen Li to discuss matters of love and sex with her daughter.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zheng Shuang was allowed to go back to her room to sleep. If Zheng Shuang wanted to spend time with Daddy and Mommy, Jiang Cheng had to be free.

If it was in the past, when she came to Hong Kong from China, her daughter Zheng Shuang hadn't seen Jiang Cheng for a long time and wanted to sleep with him. On the first day, Jiang Cheng would have agreed.

But it won’t work tonight. When in Shenzhen, after hearing what Zheng Ke said, Jiang Cheng also felt that there was something wrong with Shen Li. Tonight, Jiang Cheng wanted to take a closer look to see if that was the case.

Zheng Shuang returned to his room, while Jiang Cheng and Zheng Ke watched TV series in the room. The TV series produced by Hong Kong's TVB radio station are actually very low-cost. If it is a costume drama, many backgrounds are fake. Some scenes will appear repeatedly in many TV series.

Even the costumes are like this. For example, the clothes worn by King Jinlun in the ancient version of The Return of the Condor Heroes were also worn by Gu himself when he starred in A Step into the Past.

But if the actors perform well and the plot is good, even if the background is fake, a piece of plastic cloth can be used as a waterfall. Many classic TV series can be filmed.

Before 9 o'clock, the prime time was showing "Big Times", and now the TV series is showing "Green River Grass". This TV series was first broadcast in Taiwan in March this year, and it was also filmed in Taiwan.

This drama is very popular in Hong Kong now, and it should be introduced in China. As someone who is not from this generation, Jiang Cheng has never watched this TV series before.

Green grass by the river, the sky never gets old~~.

"Sister Zheng, Brother Cheng, is this TV series being shown in China?"

Shen Li came over from her daughter Jiang Juan's side. After entering the room, she saw Jiang Cheng and Zheng Ke lying on the bed watching TV. She immediately started talking to them with a smile on her face.

Jiang Cheng also noticed that Zheng Ke was lying on his right side, while Shen Li did not lie on his left side, but climbed onto the bed from Zheng Ke's side.

"It's not available in China yet. I haven't watched it from the beginning, so I missed a lot of the plot. Even if it is released in China, I may not be able to watch the TV series every day." Zheng Ke responded.

Zheng Ke's job in China requires her to go out all the time. She can watch TV at home, but it is inconvenient when she goes out. Jiang Cheng likes to travel now. He will take Zhou Lingying to travel abroad after staying at home for about ten days.

Shen Li nodded, then sat down and casually took off her clothes and said that she wanted to go to bed early today.

According to the past situation, how could Jiang Cheng let Shen Li go to bed early? Every time he came from China, he would definitely go crazy.

She was not wearing any underwear, only pajamas, so some parts of her body were vaguely visible. Jiang Cheng's arms were long enough that he could touch Shen Li through Zheng Ke.

Shen Li was waiting for Jiang Cheng to send this signal. As soon as Jiang Cheng started, Shen Li began to be "understanding" of Zheng Ke. On the surface, it seemed that she wanted Zheng Ke to serve Jiang Cheng together, but when Jiang Cheng paid close attention, he found that Shen Li seemed to be more interested in Zheng Ke's body.

Thinking back to the previous details, Shen Li always helped Jiang Cheng to deal with Zheng Ke, and her help was all-encompassing.

I never felt that Shen Li was interested in women before. Could it be that after the three of them were together, her bisexual personality awakened?

Damn it, Shen Li didn't dare to find a man other than Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng never thought that she would develop into a woman. After all, she is a mother of three children.

After a crazy night, Jiang Cheng lit a cigarette. He smoked, but he always controlled himself and only smoked a few cigarettes a day.

Whether to interrogate Shen Li is a question. Or pretend that he doesn't know, but it is very difficult for a man to make someone gay. Jiang Cheng is a little afraid that Shen Li will flatten Zheng Ke.
