Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 321 "Zhou Xiaoli's System"

Every age has its own fashion.

Just like the tunic suits and sea soul shirts in the early years, and the improved suits, Hanfu and so on that became popular later.

Of course~ These are actually not considered fashionable, at most they are considered popular.

So what is fashion?
You wore improved suits and Hanfu in the 80s, and you wore tunic suits and sea soul shirts in 2020. This is called fashion.

So ~ when Liu Qingqing wore the daily outfits of urban beauties 20 years later in [-], it could also be called fashion.

Since Chen Li helped Liu Qingqing match, Chen Li's vision became a little "high" in Miss Zhou's eyes!

This made Miss Zhou decide that when she buys clothes next time, she must bring Chen Li with her.

As for whether Chen Li would agree. As long as Liu Qingqing was called, Chen Li would naturally agree.

Of course~ this is all for later!
The most important thing right now is to go to the banquet, so a group of four squeezed into Su Mei's Xiali car.

Chen Li didn't feel it before, but today he felt that the Xiali car was somewhat "squeezed" when sitting up!

In fact, Chen Li was sitting in the driver's seat, so there was no such thing as crowded or not.

It's just that when there are three women in a small compartment at the same time, it makes Chen Li feel a little "lively"!
Uh~ After all, Liu Qingqing is also inside, so it can't be called noisy!
But it was too lively, which made Chen Li feel a little "squeezed"!
Fortunately, the destination of the trip was not far away. Under Zhou Xiaoli's guidance, Chen Li drove Xiali's car into an alley inside the second ring road.

"Siheyuan?"

Chen Li was surprised at first, but then...he calmed down again.

The reason why I was surprised was naturally because of the courtyard house in Yanjing City. That was a sky-high price!
But then, Chen Li remembered, this is [-]. Although the courtyard house in this year is not cheap, compared with the price of later generations, the price of this year is not outrageous.

Chen Li had read a report before, saying that last year, that is, in [-], a courtyard house was sold in the West Second Ring Road of Yanjing City.

The area of ​​that courtyard house was about 480 square meters, and the final transaction price was [-] million!

In other words, it is less than 1 yuan per square meter.

Of course~ this price is already considered sky-high in Yanjing today.

Nowadays, in some places on the outskirts of Yanjing, the house price is only around one or two thousand. Even in some locations within the third ring road, the price is around 3000-6000 depending on the location!

So ~ the price of the courtyard house can be regarded as a "sky" price, but it seems that it is not so "sky" price!

It can be said that some businessmen these days, as long as they are willing, can really afford a courtyard house.

Of course~ The buying and selling of courtyard houses these years actually has nothing to do with money, and more depends on whether your relationship is strong or not!

These days, the country does not encourage the sale of courtyard houses as much as later, so no matter how rich some people are, it does not mean that they can buy them.

Of course ~ Zhou Xiaoli's family is engaged in real estate in Yanjing, so I think there is still some connections.

"Ah~ what happened to the courtyard house?"

The status of the courtyard house these days is not as high as it was later, so Zhou Xiaoli couldn't understand Chen Li's surprise at all.

"Uh~ nothing!"

"This courtyard house belongs to your family?"

Chen Li changed the topic. After all, it is impossible for him to talk about the value appreciation of courtyard houses with Zhou Xiaoli here. Even if he talked about it, he would talk about it with Zhou Xiaoli's father.

"Our family doesn't live here!" Zhou Xiaoli gave Chen Li a supercilious look!
It can be seen that Zhou Xiaoli doesn't seem to have any special feelings for the courtyard house.

Compared with courtyard houses, Zhou Xiaoli at this time prefers high-rise buildings!
This is actually quite normal!

Don't look at Zhou Xiaoli who grew up in the land of Yanjing, but she didn't have any plots of alleys and courtyards.

Of course~ this may also be because Miss Zhou is not that old yet.

Maybe many years later, Miss Zhou will also start to recall the hutongs and courtyards of old Yanjing, but now Miss Zhou actually yearns for the bustling metropolises like New York and Paris!

Hmm~ But this is not because Miss Zhou is not patriotic. In fact, this is the common understanding of many people in China these days.

This can be seen from the fact that the rich and well-connected almost all send their children abroad these days.

In fact, Zhou Xiaoli almost went abroad to study. If Zhou Xiaoli's mother hadn't been ill at that time, Miss Zhou might have become a "high-achieving student" in a university on the other side of the ocean!
In the future, when Zhou Xiaoli returns from her studies, she will be a sea turtle!

Hmm~ For a long time to come, the status of a sea turtle will actually be very popular.

With such an identity, Zhou Xiaoli's future prospects needless to say.

Of course ~ now Zhou Xiaoli has not studied abroad, but ~ this does not mean that she will not study abroad.

At present, Zhou Xiaoli is about to graduate, and she plans to study abroad after graduation.

Perhaps for ordinary people, the road of "becoming stronger" by studying abroad is extremely difficult, but for a wealthy daughter like Zhou Xiaoli, studying abroad is really easy!
In fact, just like many domestic universities recruit those international students, in fact, many foreign universities also welcome international students from all over the country.

The only difference is probably that those international students who come to domestic universities have almost no expenses, and some even have subsidies.

But domestic people go abroad to study. That will cost the old nose money.

This is also the reason why most of the rich second generations in China graduated from famous foreign schools!
Because the money spent is not just tuition and living expenses!

It is undeniable that some rich second generations are indeed better, but not all rich second generations who study abroad are so outstanding.

Among them, some people actually entered those famous schools abroad through other channels.

But~ this is obviously a normal thing.

Such things happen even in China, not to mention the capitalist countries known as "paradise for the rich".

Don't think that this is just ordinary people's speculation about the rich, because in Chen Li's memory, more than 20 years later, there was an outbreak of such fraudulent admissions in the United States on the other side of the ocean.

At that time, it was said that dozens of students who entered top prestigious schools through such fraud were found out.

But are those who were found out all of them?Of course not!
And it's just this one case.what about others?There are so many prestigious schools in the world, how many things like this are there?

I guess only ghosts know!
It is obviously easier for a rich second generation like Zhou Xiaoli who has good grades to study in a famous foreign school.

So~ the choice Zhou Xiaoli faces now is not whether she can study abroad, but where to study abroad!
And Zhou Xiaoli's choice is not the world's top TOP5 or TOP3.

Zhou Xiaoli is very aware of her strength. Her grades are not bad, but they can only be considered good!
Unlike Liu Qingqing, who was admitted to Yenching University through hard skills, Zhou Xiaoli was able to be admitted to Yenching Medical University because of her household registration advantage.

Of course~ Compared with many other rich second generations these days, Zhou Xiaoli's grades are actually pretty good.

After all, it is only in recent years that elite education has become popular in China!

Since the post-90s generation, the educational resources enjoyed by this group of rich second generations are completely different from those before.

And this is actually one of the reasons why many rich second generations can be admitted to top foreign universities.

Yes~ This may seem contradictory to the above statement, but it is indeed true!

There are also good and bad in the rich second generation!

Some rich second-generation elites are so good that they are beyond your imagination.

But some scum of the rich second generation can also do stupid things that both people and gods hate.

And Zhou Xiaoli belongs to the category of people who are not scum, but are not really elites, and at the same time, this category of people is actually the most part!

So Zhou Xiaoli gave up top universities such as Harvard Medical School, Oxford, and Stanford.

Even Zhou Xiaoli didn't choose any university in the UK or the US at all!

She chose the University of Munich in Germany.

In Zhou Xiaoli's words, she chose to study in Germany because Su Mei could speak German.

With nearly a year left, she can study German with Su Mei.

But in fact, Chen Li estimates that there may be more reasons because the University of Munich is easier to apply for than other top universities.

Moreover, Chen Li estimated that Zhou Xiaoli's father might have some relationship with Germany.

Of course~ the above are all speculations, anyway, the matter of Zhou Xiaoli going to study abroad has basically been settled.

Uh~ It seems that the topic is a bit far away.

Today's Chen Li came to the banquet, so when he led Liu Qingqing into this courtyard, he suddenly found out that
This courtyard house is actually a private restaurant!
In vain, Chen Li thought about a lot of things outside the courtyard, but when he came in, he found that this was actually a normal private kitchen.

It was as if Chen Li took off his pants, but the other party showed him this. This somewhat disappointed Chen Li.

Originally, Chen Li thought that this courtyard house that belonged to Zhou Xiaoli's father and friend was so grand.

After finding out that this is a private restaurant, I instantly felt that the style of this courtyard has dropped to the bottom!
That's right~ even if Zhou Xiaoli said that this private kitchen is awesome.

But no matter how awesome the private kitchen is, it is also a business place for making money.

Compared with a private mansion or something, it's so bad that it's not 01:30!

"Dad~!"

After entering the small courtyard, Chen Li found that there was an Eight Immortals table in the patio of the courtyard, and a set of tea sets were placed on the table.

And at the moment opposite the Eight Immortals table, a middle-aged man with glasses who looked a bit gentle just got up.

"Uh~!"

At first glance, Chen Li felt a little surprised.

Because Zhou Xiaoli's father looks a little young!

But after getting closer, Chen Li found that Zhou Xiaoli's father's temples were a little gray, but the whole person looked energetic, and the smile on his face seemed quite confident!
Alright~ I have to admit that Zhou Xiaoli's father is a bit handsome.

It was because of this handsomeness that Chen Li felt the "young" state of the other party!
In fact, he has a good mental outlook. He doesn't feel like Zhou Xiaoli's father, but rather like Zhou Xiaoli's big brother?

Of course~ Zhou Xiaoli yelled it all out, Chen Li naturally wouldn't admit it blindly.

"Hello Uncle Zhou!"

"Hello Uncle Zhou!"

Chen Li and Liu Qingqing greeted each other, while Zhou Bowen, Zhou Xiaoli's father, nodded with a smile.

"Good~ good!"

"Sit~ have some tea first!"

Zhou Bowen stretched out his hand as an invitation letter, signaling Chen Li and Liu Qingqing to sit down.

But to be honest, Chen Li really wanted to complain!
Although it is already April, the temperature today is actually not high!
Moreover, not only is the temperature not high in April in Yanjing City, the weather is even not so good!
Yanjing always encounters some extreme weather in March and April every year, such as sandstorms!
Of course ~ there must be no sandstorm today, but the weather is not very good.

The sun in the sky has disappeared, and there is a small wind blowing from time to time. Drinking tea outside in such weather is really crazy.

Alright~ After thinking about it, Chen Li definitely wouldn't say these words.

The two sides began to greet each other, to be precise, they praised each other!
Chen Li praised Zhou Bowen as "young" and his business is doing well!
Zhou Bowen praised Chen Li as young and promising, and his business is doing well!He also praised Liu Qingqing for her beauty and good grades, so she was admitted to Yenching University.

In short, this set of opening remarks is basically indispensable.

After exchanging pleasantries and courtesies, Liu Qingqing was dragged by Zhou Xiaoli to visit the courtyard house, while Chen Li stayed for tea!

The tea was brewed in advance, but what Chen Li was more concerned about was that this week Bowen himself did not use a teacup, but a purple sand pot.

"Oh? Xiao Chen likes purple clay teapots?"

Who is Zhou Bowen?It was an old Jianghu who had worked hard in the business world for many years. At a glance, he found that Chen Li seemed to be interested in the purple clay pot in front of him.

It's just that what Zhou Bowen didn't know was that Chen Li wasn't really interested in purple clay teapots, but that people who drank tea from purple clay teapots were actually quite boring.

why?Because this purple clay pot is really too small!

Such a small pot, which is a little bit bigger, can be drunk in one sip, and I don't know what the meaning of drinking tea with this thing is.

Alright~ This is naturally because Chen Li has never seen the world!

Because whether Chen Li is drinking tea, coffee, or even milk tea, his purpose is actually only one. Demand!
For example, when you are thirsty, drink mineral water!

When you're bored, have a drink!

When sleepy, drink coffee!
When talking with people outside, drink tea!

Especially drinking tea, after Chen Li returned to Rongcheng in his previous life, drinking tea has another meaning.

In Rongcheng, if a friend asks you to come out for tea, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they have something to ask you for, because there is another possibility.

That is playing mahjong!

The teahouses in Rongcheng can hardly be called teahouses, in fact, they should be called mahjong parlors!

An automatic mahjong table, each person has another cup of Sumaofeng!Heh~ comfortable!

Especially when the sun is out, the business of the big and small teahouses in Rongcheng is very good.

So ~ drinking tea in Chen Li's understanding is actually not drinking tea for the sake of drinking tea.

That's why Chen Li doesn't understand how some people feel about drinking tea with a purple sand pot!
"Uh~ I can't say I like it, but I'm interested in it!"

"And I'm not interested in purple clay pots either."

"I'm actually more interested in the value of the purple clay pot than the purple clay pot!"

"Uncle Zhou, this purple clay pot of yours is probably worth a lot of money, right?"

Of course, Chen Li didn't understand the purple clay pot.But what he knows is that this thing is actually quite expensive despite its small size.

It is said that as early as the 80s, a handful of high-quality purple sand teapots could sell for six figures.

This. Anyway, Chen Li in the previous life didn't understand it!And now Chen Li~ actually doesn't understand it very well!

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it or not. There are too many things he doesn't understand, and it won't have any impact!
"Haha~ This purple clay teapot of mine is a priceless treasure!"

"Look at this signature!"

Mentioning the purple clay teapot, Zhou Bowen also seemed to be interested. He picked up his own small teapot and showed Chen Li the inscription.

But how can Chen Li understand this? He doesn't understand purple clay pots either.Even if this small pot is the work of a famous pot maker, he doesn't know it?
Moreover, Zhou Bowen's priceless words made Chen Li a little speechless.

He knows that good purple clay pots are very expensive, and he vaguely remembers that some purple clay pots can even sell for tens of millions.

But there is a price for these tens of millions. Zhou Bowen's priceless treasure is somewhat exaggerated.

But~ Then Chen Li was a little dumbfounded, because he saw the inscription on the purple clay pot!
At that time, Chen Li almost said "F*ck", but luckily he restrained himself and didn't really say it.

But he was still a little speechless, because the bottom of this purple sand pot had four big characters written in simplified characters!

"Made by Zhou Xiaoli"
