The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 121 Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger
This small CEO training program is truly full of hidden talents.

Some are in real estate, some are in the internet industry, and some have made billions selling fruit.

Some people even become rich by raising pigs.

Huang Pujun was very satisfied, and also remarked that his 700,000 yuan tuition fee was well spent.

As for her eligibility to apply, it was through a nominal position held by a large corporation; no one knows how she obtained that qualification.

No one cares for now, anyway, she's quite satisfied.

Picking one here is better than searching for one outside with a lantern.

Tong Zhelan was not angry after being rejected by Chen Pingsheng.

Investment banks may have money, but not everyone is willing to accept them.

Take, for example, Huawei, which has achieved the world's number one position in the global communications field and is also among the top five in the domestic mobile phone market.

If it were to announce that it needs financing, international investment banks would be scrambling to get it.

This is a top-tier, high-quality group. You don't need to go outside to find money; plenty of people will be vying to hand over their money to you.

There aren't many companies like this in China; they're generally not short of money.

She just hadn't expected Shuiyunjian to refuse so readily, after all, it was definitely short of money.

The reason Chen Pingsheng rejected her suggestion was quite simple.

Let alone 1 billion, even if you gave him 2 billion or 3 billion, he would never sell Shuiyunjian's shares to an outsider.

This would undermine the benefits of his cheat code.

Fei Yangyang might be worth considering accepting, but unfortunately, Tong Zhelan, who was rejected by him, only had a slight interest in Fei Yangyang.

It's the kind of investment that's optional.

After being rejected by him, the woman simply stopped mentioning the story of Boiling Sheep.

It's as if he never agreed to give him 100 million before.

As for Wang Yanfeng, he just sneered from the side. He thought that Wang Yanfeng was not cherishing such a good opportunity and even wanted to attract investment for Fei Yangyang.

Forget about it. Are international investment banks so easy to refuse?

"Mr. Wang, I heard your entertainment company is doing quite well. When will you take us to see it?"

Liu Hai, who was standing to the side, suggested with a smile that he was not from Beijing, but a real estate developer from the north.

He is quite wealthy, but not a major real estate developer.

Of all the people present, he was the biggest fan of minor celebrities, mainly because he was young and broke.

He was insulted by a female celebrity, but after he became successful, the female celebrity's fame was not as great as before.

When he went to their place to participate in a commercial performance, he tried every means to invite them to his home.

Then he began to relentlessly toy with the female celebrity who had once insulted him.

Honestly, it was a really enjoyable experience.

He gave her a million dollars afterwards, and the female celebrity didn't dare to utter a word.

Wang Yanfeng laughed and said, "If you, Lao Liu, want to go, you can go anytime."

Tong Zhelan glanced at the two of them secretly. Being in her position, she naturally knew what these people meant by going to see the minor celebrity.

To put it bluntly, people without money can only find happiness in back alleys.

After becoming wealthy, he started having affairs with female celebrities who had a certain social standing.

That's what you call exciting!

Wang Yanfeng said, "Don't all look at me like that. Chen Pingsheng, don't you also have an entertainment company? You recently started a training class for female artists. I think that girl surnamed Bai in the class is very pretty."

Liu Hai's eyes lit up. "Brother Chen, you also have an entertainment company?"

"He definitely has one, and he's practically bankrupt."

Wang Yanfeng seemed quite pleased with himself, and Liu Hai quickly realized that the two didn't get along.

He didn't care.

"Brother Chen, that's not very kind of you. You have such a great resource, why don't you share it with everyone?"

"You're nobody."

Chen Pingsheng said unhappily, "Do you think I run an entertainment company for you to enjoy? Only a beast like Wang would treat the female artists in his company like toys for entertainment. I'm ashamed for your father."

"We can't agree on anything," Chen Pingsheng said, getting up and leaving.

This infuriated Wang Yanfeng. Everyone here has a status, so why should someone like you, surnamed Chen, dare to flip the table and curse?

Isn't that how everyone plays?
Liu Hai was clearly a little angry, but this was a society governed by law, and he had nothing in Beijing. Apart from being scolded and looking completely bewildered, he couldn't do anything.

After Chen Pingsheng left, He Bijun, a genuine pig farmer, felt he couldn't get along with them and also left.

Wang Yanfeng snorted, "Don't worry about him, everyone. This guy used to be a street vendor selling durians. He made a little money and then he thought he was someone special." I feel like you're insulting me!

Liu Hai glanced at him indifferently, but also seemed a little displeased.

He disliked this man surnamed Wang even more than Chen Pingsheng, who had just left.

If it weren't for my father's connections, why would I be sitting at the same table with them?

The dishes had just been served when Tong Zhelan also left.

This made Wang Yanfeng very unhappy. "You damn woman, I'll fuck you eight hundred times sooner or later."

Of course, he could only think about it in his heart.

The family of the Tong family is even more powerful than his; they started making their fortune abroad from his grandfather's generation.

He returned to China in the 1990s and quickly built up a large business empire.

The industries involved include pharmaceuticals, beverages, hotels, real estate, catering, and other diversified sectors.

In short, she was a wild woman he couldn't afford to mess with.

There's still plenty of time; we can't skip meals.

Chen Pingsheng and He Bijun found a small noodle shop nearby and prepared to grab a quick bite.

"Brother Chen, you've got quite a few businesses going on. Teach me a thing or two, I don't know anything about raising pigs."

Chen Pingsheng asked curiously, "How many heads do you raise?"

"There are only a few hundred thousand pigs, several breeds, from black pigs and Ningxiang pigs to Luchuan pigs, I raise them all."

Wow, what a genius in the pig farming world!

Raising over 100,000 pigs well is no easy feat.

When He Bijun talked about his pigs, he spoke of them as if they were his own sons, knowing them intimately.

Their eyes were bright.

"So you've come here."

Tong Zhelan pushed open the door and entered; the woman had a perm with big, wavy hair.

She was wearing a new Chanel women's blazer that was very form-fitting.

With a chest that's about 4.5 ounces and a height of about 1.65 meters, he gives off a particularly capable vibe.

"Miss Tong, what brings you out here?"

"In the capital, it's not customary to call someone 'Miss.' I'm a few years younger than you, so just call me Zhelan. We're all classmates, so there's no need to be so formal."

Tong Zhelan pulled out a chair and sat down. She then casually wiped the table with a napkin before ordering a large bowl of oil-splashed noodles.

He eats quite a lot.

"By the way, is your Tencent Entertainment really going to close down?"

Tong Zhelan asked curiously.

"How could that be?" Chen Pingsheng said, "I've just been busy lately and haven't had time to invest in TV dramas again."

"What are you busy with?"

"Selling vegetables."

"Heh." Tong Zhelan chuckled lightly, "I don't believe you for a second."

The three exchanged business cards, perhaps anticipating future opportunities for collaboration.

Apart from Shuiyunjian, Tong Zhelan's family looked down on all the other companies under his control.

Whether she's selling fruit or vegetables, it's all the same to her.

To put it bluntly, capital still values ​​investment in specific sectors.

These traditional enterprises are no longer favored by capital.

Chen Pingsheng didn't bother with her. This woman had a very good eye; the things she set her sights on were usually good.

If she doesn't like something, you could say she'd rather die than give her a single penny.

On the contrary, Chen Pingsheng was very interested in raising pigs.

I got along very well with He Bijun, and Lao He was also very interested in the full range of fresh produce he was involved in.

The two quickly became a perfect match, a true pair of geniuses in the class.

One sells pork, the other raises pigs.

My friend's book, "The Tycoon's Journey from Winning a Million in the Lottery," is pretty good; I'd recommend it.
