The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 123 Stay Away From Me

The next day.

After finishing breakfast at home, Chen Pingsheng prepared to drive to class.

I still have two days of classes this month, so I need to be on time.

After getting up, Chen An'an had nothing to do, so she actually dragged her sister to watch her practice Mantis Boxing in the yard.

Chen Xinyi seemed quite happy sleeping in the baby chair.

He chuckled and giggled.

Chen An'an is quite resourceful; she somehow managed to catch a few fat praying mantises and fought them quite well.

His wife also has to go to work, so his two little kids are still being taken care of by his mother, Peng Ying.

Chen Qi would come over around noon to take Chen An'an to class.

The CEO training program quickly formed its own small circle within a day.

I don't know what Wang Yanfeng did to entertain people last night, but when he arrived this morning, quite a few people were already putting their arms around him.

Especially the bangs, you can tell they're having a lot of fun with it.

I still feel a bit weak when I walk.

Tong Zhelan arrived a little late. She had changed her outfit today, but still maintained her sophisticated and capable style as an elite woman.

A fitted shirt paired with skinny jeans.

Her wavy hair fell just to her chest, looking both capable and juicy.

Because he had something he wanted to talk to her about, Chen Pingsheng deliberately sat closer to her.

"Ze Lan, you've got a really good eye for timing."

Tong Zhelan glanced at him indifferently: "Just call me Zhelan, why add 'girl'? You don't come here unless you need something."

"that…"

Chen Pingsheng didn't beat around the bush, "It's still about Fei Yangyang and Tencent Entertainment. Let me make it clear first, I'm definitely not short of money, it's just that I want to go public and I'm not very familiar with the process, so I thought I'd come and ask you for advice!"

"Going public? Through a reverse takeover or by applying directly?"

Tong Zhelan saw through his little scheme at a glance: "I think you're pretending to ask for advice, but really want me to invest money. Putting everything else aside, just look at your Tengying Entertainment. Have you ever produced a TV series of your own? Do you have a stable source of income? Do you have your own core competitiveness?"

In Tong Zhelan's eyes, Tengying Entertainment was simply a product with no reputation, no quality, and no reputation.

They just banned a second-tier celebrity, Zhao Liying, and then set up a bizarre artist training class.

And then nothing happened.

How is she supposed to vote?
Girl, you're blind.

Chen Pingsheng couldn't explain it; any of his companies could potentially lose money, but Tengying was definitely out of the question.

Unless the cheat code fails.

Wang Yanfeng, who had been listening intently, turned around and chimed in, "Heh, I thought you had some ability, but I didn't expect Tengying to really be unable to continue operating."

Chen Pingsheng couldn't be bothered with that clown who relied on his father's connections; he still wanted to try and secure Tong Zhelan's investment.

"Tengying has never experienced a loss. Besides, we're about to wrap up filming for 'The Legend of Hua Qiangu,' at the latest by the end of this month, or maybe next month. We'll start the TV station's bidding process. Don't underestimate us."

"Nine out of ten TV dramas are poorly made. Let's talk about it again when your 'Hua Qian Gu' comes out."

After a pause, Tong Zhelan asked curiously, "How much do you want to value it at?"

"Not much, given our classmate relationship."

Chen Pingsheng held up three fingers, and Tong Zhelan frowned slightly: "Thirty million?"

"That's just ridiculous," Chen Pingsheng shook his head.

"So you mean three hundred million?"

Three hundred million is negligible in the context of internet valuations.

Any good idea, a good leader, and a good business plan can potentially lead to this valuation.

Chen Pingsheng shook his head again.

This time, Tong Zhelan frowned. She didn't say anything, but pointed to the table furthest away from her: "You surnamed Chen, go sit over there and stay away from me. I don't want to see you again."

I feel like I'm treating her like an idiot.

They lacked a director capable of carrying the team, an agent with a high standing in the industry, and A-list celebrities.

What makes him think he can ask for 3 billion?
Liang Jingru rode on his lap and sang "Courage" to him every day?

"Haha, is he going to ask for 3 billion?" "Didn't you see Tong Zhelan's face? She's so angry it's red."

"This guy surnamed Chen is really bold. He refused a billion dollars offered to him, but now he's trying to find someone to cooperate with."

"What do you think he's thinking about all day long?"

Everyone thought Chen Pingsheng had gone mad. It was an entertainment company that produced TV dramas; it wasn't some novel industry.

This is what traditional industries are like.

How dare someone with nothing to offer claim 3 billion? Let alone him, even those big directors and entertainment companies with A-list stars backing them up.

They probably wouldn't dare to directly quote that price.

"Brother Chen, are you short of money?"

After He Bijun came closer, he didn't laugh like the others, but whispered, "Brother, I have some here. If you need it urgently, you can borrow it first."

"Thank you very much, Brother He."

Chen Pingsheng sincerely thanked her, saying, "I don't lack money. I only sought out Tong Zhelan to bring in a major investment bank as a living advertisement."

"Then I can't help you."

He Bijun sat next to him again, and the two continued chatting about pig farming, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

“Brother Chen, in my opinion, if you really want to do a full range of products, then it’s best to start your own breeding business. These days, when people have money, they want to eat with peace of mind. You already have your own sales channels, so breeding shouldn’t be too difficult for you.”

He hasn't considered it yet, but perhaps one day in the future he will actually step into it.

After all, more and more land in rural areas is now being left vacant.

Young people have all gone to work in the city, and the elderly are getting old and can hardly work anymore.

Furthermore, in today's rural areas, without proper planning and technology, the income from farming and animal husbandry is shockingly low.

To be more specific, it refers to a family of several people.

My family has two or three acres of land, and we are busy from transplanting rice seedlings at the beginning of the year to harvesting rice at the end of the year.

You can only earn tens of thousands a year at most, and that's considered a very good situation.

It's understandable that fewer and fewer people are farming now.

"We'll talk about that later. My supermarkets will open in a few days. I'll ask Brother He to come and take a look then!"

Chen Pingsheng didn't mind that he couldn't get Tong Zhelan to invest.

Things proceeded as planned, and the same old professor who taught them today was the same one from yesterday.

The content is broad and highly applicable, mainly analyzing some well-known companies from the past twenty years.

By analyzing their successes and failures, we can help everyone better understand the pitfalls in business thinking.

It's worth mentioning that businesses in the 1990s all talked about marketing.

At that time, people in China still believed what they saw on television.

As a result, advertisements are everywhere.

Later, Shi Dada emerged, who would give old platinum as a gift.

With this advertising slogan, they turned the tide.

The concept of positioning began to gain popularity in the advertising industry.

In other words, it's about implanting a brand concept in the customer's mind.

Make it clear to it what your brand does.

There are many brands like this.

For example, if you love her, you would treat her to Häagen-Dazs.

Diamonds are forever, a single diamond will last forever.

There are also those who only accept old platinum as gifts, etc.

It can be said that as long as positioning is used to its fullest potential, marketing becomes very simple.

The courses are different every day, but fortunately, everyone here is an experienced CEO and they are all able to listen to these things.

The three-day course ended quickly, and the next gathering won't be until September.

If you work three days a month, that's thirty-six days a year.
