The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 132 Martial Arts Class

Come Saturday.

Chen An'an is going to martial arts class again.

She was brimming with confidence this time. She didn't even need to be called; she got up very early in the morning and went to the backyard to practice boxing.

It wasn't until noon that her aunt, Chen Qi, went to see her off.

Chen An'an closed her eyes to rest. There was a challenge competition in class today, and she was determined to make up for yesterday's defeat.

One against ten.

I'm afraid that won't work.

Hit five.

Sit on one, lift one with one hand, and step on the other two with your little feet.

That couldn't be easier.

Chen Qi asked her, "An'an, what are you doing?"

"Don't ask."

Chen An'an said foolishly, "The most important thing for martial arts practitioners is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen their bodies. After I recover my spirit, I will take on ten people at once."

"Auntie, remember to take a video for Dad later. I don't need any bonus or anything, just a few million will be enough for him to live on."

Chen Qi thought she was sleeping, but it turned out she was sleeping in a crazy way.

Are you talking nonsense?

The two arrived at the martial arts class quickly.

The monthly challenge has arrived as scheduled.

The real masters always make their grand entrance last, so Chen An'an closed his eyes to rest again.

She definitely won't play unless she's the last one standing.

The demeanor of a master must be maintained.

Chen Qi called her, but she didn't hear him.

After waiting for a while, the teacher on stage announced the end of the competition.

The bell rang.

Chen An'an was dumbfounded. "I was just resting for a while, how come you guys finished the competition already?"

I, the expert, haven't even made my appearance yet!
The teacher called her three times and she didn't hear him, so the teacher automatically assumed she was fast asleep.

Chen An'an's forehead was covered in big question marks?
Nani? ? ?

Why is it so.

After her afternoon classes ended, Chen Qi came to pick her up.

Chen An'an felt lonely and desolate on the cold sandbar, always feeling like she was the only one who could defeat him.

The slogan of the West's invincibility has been firmly established.

Unfortunately, we can only wait until next month.

When I got home and turned on my computer, just as I was about to figure out how to improve, I suddenly saw the Lightning Five-Strike Combo.

She was quite certain that this was the legendary martial art that could defeat "Long-Handed".

Without saying a word, I started learning.

However, if you want to do something well, you must first have the right tools.

Let's buy a good whip first.

She likes to buy things on JD.com because of its fast delivery.

The method chosen is simple and unpretentious, involving five consecutive whips, but the price is high.

After spending 1,600 yuan of his pocket money on a copper dragon-headed cowhide whip, he officially began practicing.

JD Logistics is indeed fast; it arrived the next day.

Chen An'an lashed out with his whip, hitting his own fat chicken rear end.

"As expected of a peerless martial art, it injures the user before injuring the enemy. Impressive, impressive."

Whether it was her own mistake or not, she doesn't care; as long as she's capable, that's all that matters.

She secretly wanted to defeat her father.

……

the other side.

Having secured Series B funding, Fei Yang Yang has accelerated its expansion.

Previously, they only invested 10 million yuan per month to open stores, but now they have increased it to 30 million yuan.

That means about fifteen new stores open each month.

The number tripled at once, but there wasn't much pressure, mainly because the management model had already been established.

The headquarters has established various standards for chef training, and with high employee salaries, management is smooth.

They really do make every store they open a hit.

However, this money cannot be spent entirely in the capital; it must be used to complete the next step of expansion outside the province.

Gao Hu's meaning was clear: if they were to go outside the province, it would be best to go directly to Shacheng in the southern province. Firstly, many of the chefs there were recruited from the southern province, and they were most familiar with Hunan cuisine.

Secondly, they all grew up there, and developing their businesses in their hometown is an honor in itself.

"Old Chen, head straight to Shacheng."

Chen Pingsheng thought for a while. There were indeed certain risks in operating across provinces. However, only if Fei Yangyang succeeded in operating in two provinces could it prove that it was not a local catering company.

It has the ability to expand into the national market.

This will be very beneficial for the upcoming Series C funding round.

Chen Pingsheng agreed: "Alright, then take 50 million to Shacheng. The housing prices there are low and the investment costs are small. The investment for a single store is estimated to be only about one million. Once you get there, set up the Fei Yang Yang Catering Training Headquarters as soon as possible. Also, you need to open stores quickly."

"Okay." Gao Hu was overjoyed; this was truly a triumphant homecoming.

With 50 million yuan at home, starting a restaurant business, what can't he accomplish?

We'll bring another group of people over from here.

Initially, the marketing and design departments were responsible for the work; only later did they start bringing in chefs and well-trained service staff.

Chen Pingsheng saw them off at the airport. Gao Hu was very reluctant to part with them, but he became excited as soon as they got to the airport.

I noticed that even the tall, slender flight attendants unconsciously showed off their Cayenne keys from their waists.

The car actually belongs to Song Yanxi.

She never drove her Cayenne and simply gave it to Gao Hu.

The flight attendant pretended not to notice, and when they got off the plane, whether by coincidence or something else, it was unclear.

Anyway, the two of them added each other on WeChat.

It wasn't until we started chatting that I realized he was the big boss.

The tall, leggy flight attendant happened to be free that evening, and the two met at a local specialty snack shop.

After ordering several servings of local stinky tofu, we also got six small beers.

Finally, you pushed me towards... no, no.

Gao Hu completed his first kill upon returning to his hometown.

The pretty flight attendant woke up the next day to find that he was gone, leaving only three thousand yuan on the bedside table.

Sending him a message shows that he has been blocked and deleted.

"Scumbag."

The flight attendant cursed through gritted teeth, but in the end she still took the three thousand yuan and left.

She was looking for love and a marriage partner.

I never expected that people would only see it as a transaction of love.

Three thousand dollars is too cheap. I worked so hard to act, I should at least keep five thousand.

After leaving the room, the flight attendant turned around and went shopping.

Back in Shacheng, Gao Hu didn't forget his serious business; dating a flight attendant was just for fun.

His principle is very simple: don't let go of bad women, and don't miss out on good women either.

Unlike Chen Pingsheng, he didn't stay with one wife his whole life.

There are so many beautiful flowers in the world, how could I not sleep with seven or eight hundred of them, to do justice to my little brother who has always been with me?

Soon, the Boiling Sheep team brought from the capital officially began their expansion into Shacheng, Southern Province.

The strategy remains the same: super affordable restaurants, places that everyone can afford.

……

September 12th.

After the post-production editing of "The Legend of Hua Qian Gu" was completed, Tencent Video began a small-scale viewing for the first batch of internal staff.

I watched it for three whole days, and when it finished airing, almost everyone stood up and applauded.

Especially in the last few episodes, when I curse you in the name of God, that you shall never grow old, never die, never be harmed, and never perish.

The first group of viewers all cried.

The once-powerful demon goddess ultimately perished due to unrequited love, and her master only broke free from the shackles of the world at the very end.

Bai Xin cried and said, "It's so beautiful."

Jiang Peiyao said the same: "This is the first drama that my brother-in-law invested 100 million to produce. It's really good. The senior sister's acting is superb."

"This show is definitely going to be a huge hit."

"If it can be broadcast at the end of the year, it will definitely be the king of dramas of the year."

When the applause ended, Chen Pingsheng stood up and said:

"I hereby announce that the copyright for the TV series 'The Legend of Hua Qian Gu' has been officially priced at 4.8 million yuan."

Television series copyrights are just one source of revenue for Hua Qiangu; there is also a series of derivative and peripheral revenue streams.

For example, items in games like "The Legend of Flower".

Most importantly, it not only propelled Zhao Liying to the top tier of celebrities, but also simultaneously boosted Tencent's valuation.

It can be said that the appearance of Hua Qiangu will change the overall landscape of the current drama industry.
