2003: The Opening Sniper Against the Financial Tycoon

In Qin Hanyang's memory.

This "Starbucks coffee post" was once very popular on Tianya.

The main reason is that after the millennium, our country developed rapidly and is now in a stage of leapfrogging development.

While the macro-level is being emphasized, some micro-level individuals have been unknowingly overlooked.

Coffee has become a vehicle for people to deconstruct culture, and now Qin Hanyang has processed it.

Qin Hanyang no longer had a deep memory of the original calligraphy, but his brushstrokes, after being modified, were even sharper than the original.

He even imagined that 20 years from now, there would still be people online questioning, "Are there still people who have never ridden the subway?"

This coincidence of reincarnation made Qin Hanyang want to laugh.

He then continued his response in the article.

"Have you ever seen soil? I mean the most primitive kind of soil with all sorts of strange insects in it, soil that has been burrowed by field mice."

"Have you ever seen how potatoes grow? I don't mean the kind of potatoes you grow as experiments or for observation..."

"You were born in Rome, while I'm destined to feed cattle and horses..."

"I had never even used a computer before university..."

"I only started learning English in junior high school, and even the teacher couldn't pronounce the phonetic symbols correctly..."

Qin Hanyang understands the emotions of netizens during this period all too well.

In the past two years, the barriers to accessing the internet have been lowered considerably.

The reduction and popularization of computer labs and internet cafes in some universities has enabled more and more people to access the internet. Although they are still the silent majority, they have the right to speak out.

The entire article is full of insightful words and resonates deeply with readers!

It directly stirred up netizens' emotions, making everyone feel indignant!

"You idiot, you think you're so great just because you drink Starbucks? You think you're so superior?!"

"What a country bumpkin, yet he dares to spout fancy nonsense!"

"We're all from small towns, but you're a Starbucks person!"

"There are good people and bad people everywhere, and we Shanghai residents are just collateral damage..."

"Found out, this person is an intern at XX Financial Company, but is actually from northern Jiangsu..."

"Damn it, Shanghai's reputation has been ruined again."

The entire "Tianya Miscellaneous Talk" section was abuzz with discussion all night because of this coffee post.

On the other side, in the "Lotus Pond Ghost Stories" section, the "Tomb Raiding Posts" are the most popular, with many people even discussing tomb raiding culture.

The funniest thing is that quite a few netizens read both posts at the same time.

Upon comparison, they discovered that it was the same author.

"So that's why Wang Lufei stopped writing tomb raiding stories, he was cursing people."

"It's so realistic, it made me cry."

"Who is this professor? Their writing is so good!"

"Update the tomb raiding content now!"

"..."

After just one night of activity, Qin Hanyang became a celebrity on the forum thanks to these two "divine posts".

However, he, the instigator, had already gone downstairs for a late-night snack and then went to sleep.

The next day, after waking up, he took a moment to glance at the forum again.

The discussion surrounding "drinking coffee" is still gaining momentum.

This has even fueled the increasingly intense emotions of netizens.

"Damn it, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. Tomorrow I'm going to write a letter to the management department and ask why they let Starbucks open a store in the Forbidden City! Is there any collusion involved?"

"Exactly! Western brands clash severely with the cultural heritage of the Forbidden City; they're practically undermining the solemnity of this World Heritage site!"

"Who approved this project?"

"I need to call and ask too!"

"..."

Upon seeing this, Qin Hanyang sensed a sense of uncontrollability.

"Won't this have a butterfly effect and cause the coffee shop at the Forbidden City to close down prematurely?"

Although it is a foregone conclusion that this store will close down in the future.

But Qin Hanyang remembered that even at its worst, the store had survived for seven years.

Now, are we going to let it lose half its lifespan because of one of my posts?

Thinking of this, a wicked sense of amusement welled up in Qin Hanyang's heart.

Of course, in addition to that, he also received some private messages inviting him to collaborate.

"Hello, this is XXX newspaper. May we reprint your two posts? The fee is 15 yuan per thousand words. Please provide your mailing address."

"Hello, this is XXX magazine. May I commission an article from you...?"

Although it was a small amount of money, Qin Hanyang didn't really care about it.

However, he still had some goodwill towards the organization that proactively offered payment for his writing, and out of respect, he still filled in an address.

Because he could foresee that there would be even more people taking things for free these days.

But whether it's royalties or public opinion, worrying about it now is pointless.

Qin Hanyang timed it perfectly and went downstairs for breakfast.

Wang Pengfei drove to the entrance of the residential area again.

"Hey, you've got a new car after just one night? Where's your motorcycle?"

Qin Hanyang was somewhat surprised when he first saw him; Wang Pengfei's car had been upgraded again.

At this moment, it was replaced by a Passat.

Although it wasn't a new car, the speed of this replacement was still astonishing!

"I sold the motorcycle last night. I have a friend who's a used car dealer, so I got it from him to drive around."

"I think motorcycles are pretty good, aren't they?"

"What's so great about it? You know the weather in Chengdu. It's scorching hot during the day in the summer. It's much more comfortable to sit in the car with the air conditioning on."

After venting his frustrations, Wang Pengfei said, "Yangyang, I thought about it seriously last night. Going to the countryside to run errands is definitely not a long-term solution. I really need to find something proper to do in the future."

Qin Hanyang smiled and said, "As long as it's not illegal or criminal, anything that can make money is a legitimate business."

"No, that's too embarrassing. When I go out, people will call me Taoist Wang, which sounds awful. It's better to do business. From now on, everyone should call me Boss Wang."

Wang Pengfei said, "Anyway, when we come back from America, you can give me some advice."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I promise to make you rich!" Qin Hanyang readily agreed.

Ignoring his nephew's teasing, Wang Pengfei added, "By the way, Tang Wanxin called me this morning. He said his mother is critically ill and he rushed back to Jiangcheng. He thanked me and said Tang Lin will continue to cooperate with us. Sigh... for him to be in such a hurry to go back, his mother must be in trouble, right?"

Qin Hanyang nodded, tacitly agreeing.

"This Mr. Tang has had a tough time. He hasn't even gotten over this hurdle in his career yet, and now his family has run into trouble. It's like adding insult to injury."

Seeing this, Wang Pengfei sighed, then thought of something and changed his expression, "Damn it, I'm such a fool. I haven't even cooled down the porridge in front of me yet, and I'm already feeling sorry for this rich guy."

"Exactly, it's better to care for yourself than to care for others."

Qin Hanyang laughed heartily, also astonished by the speed at which his uncle could change his face like a Sichuan opera performer.

Wang Pengfei urged, "Hurry up, let's go straight home after we get the money."
