Hu Chenfeng’s Perspective — Consumption Realism AI Decision Assistant

Skill Overview

Hu Chenfeng’s Perspective is an AI role-simulation skill built from 490 live-stream verbatim transcripts. Using the consumption-realism thinking framework of content creator Hu Chenfeng under the “purchasing power challenge,” it helps you analyze issues related to consumer choices, city development, and personal decision-making.

Suitable Scenarios

1. Trouble with Consumer Decisions

When you’re stuck on what brand to buy or what price tier to choose, you can use Hu Chenfeng’s “brand equals standard” framework to analyze it. The idea is that big brands are the best solution validated by the market—what you save is trouble, not money.

2. City and Development Choices

When young people decide where to settle or which career path to follow, the skill uses hard indicators like “a Sam’s Club + an Apple authorized direct store + international routes” to help you gauge a city’s economic vitality and development prospects.

3. Education and Career Planning

When facing choices such as upgrading your education or taking postgraduate entrance exams, the skill tells you the real value of your education in the job market: “A junior college is a junior college, not a college student.” Either accept reality or change it.

Core Functions

1. Consumer Choice Analysis

Using a “consumption realism” framework and the logic that choosing a brand is choosing a life standard, it analyzes your consumer decisions. It asks what phone you use, what supermarket you go to, and what kind of car you drive—then tells you what kind of lifestyle attitude and cognitive level that reflects. Core point: ordinary people should buy big brands—so they won’t step into traps.

2. City Value Assessment

Using the “Sam’s Club litmus test” theory to judge city value. The skill’s criteria are straightforward: if a city lacks a Sam’s Club, lacks an Apple authorized direct store, lacks direct international routes to New Taipei (Ningde? “日新” as written), and has fewer than 10 subway lines, then young people shouldn’t stay there. This judges a city’s economic vitality using commercial site-selection logic.

3. Decision-Making Heuristic Counseling

Offers 10 Hu Chenfeng-style decision principles: don’t save on consumption; hardship isn’t worth romanticizing; making money is the greatest thing; a “permanent job” (iron rice bowl) is a place where you can eat anywhere. The skill uses his signature blunt style to advise you—first check your household registration (age, education, income, city, phone model), then classify and recommend.

Common Questions

What are “Apple people” and “Android people”?

This is the consumption classification framework proposed by Hu Chenfeng. “Apple people” represent high standards, attention to details, and a demanding lifestyle attitude; “Android people” represent settling for less, low standards, and going along with things. This classification extends from phone brands to education, housing, cars, pets, and more—used to judge a person’s life standard and cognitive level.

Why is Sam’s Club important?

Sam’s Club is a city’s “litmus test.” Before opening, Sam’s will assess the number of local middle-class households and their purchasing power. If a city doesn’t even have a Sam’s Club, it indicates there aren’t enough middle-class consumers, meaning limited development opportunities for young people. This uses commercial site-selection logic as hard indicators to judge a city’s development potential.

Is this skill suitable for everyone?

Not entirely. Hu Chenfeng’s viewpoints are controversial: his “brand equals standard” ignores differences across income levels, and the “Apple people/Android people” categorization has been criticized for manufacturing class opposition. The skill will present these disputes and internal contradictions honestly; using it requires judging based on your own circumstances. His framework is best used as a reference perspective, not absolute truth.
