The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 146 This Uncle is Kind of Good

After Zhao Feifei proactively posted a note on the door saying she was going out, she left a note indicating that she had something to do.

It took me half an hour to serve all the customers in line.

When they got into Bai Xin's car, Zhao Feifei looked them up and down curiously.

I've never ridden in such a nice car in my life. I feel like if I rode in it a couple more times, it might corrupt my values.

As for Chu Qiuyan, she felt a little scared even to move, so she simply stayed still after sitting down.

What are you two doing?

"nervous."

What's there to be nervous about?

Bai Xin chuckled: "Let me tell you, our uncle has so many cars at home. He has a peculiar habit: after buying a car, he basically won't drive it much for a few months, and then he'll give it away."

"As his only secretary, I always look forward to the day when he will casually toss one of his unused cars to me."

"Then I'll be at the peak of my life."

Bai Xin opened the Rolls-Royce with one hand and laughed exaggeratedly.

"Is that guy on the bicycle really that rich?"

Zhao Feifei thought back for a moment, and when she saw him yesterday, he just casually sat down on the chair, and she didn't notice that he was shining with gold.

"It's certain that he has money."

Bai Xin said, "This month he bought another courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang for 200 million yuan in full. You guys haven't seen his house. It's incredibly grand. The courtyard in the middle is huge, and there are big trees surrounding the walls on all four sides. It's so beautiful. It would be so wonderful to live in such a big courtyard house and retire there."

"I have no hope in this lifetime, but I can still go and stay there occasionally."

"He's so rich, why would he think of contacting us?"

Zhao Feifei tilted her head and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"Who can guess what the old man is thinking!"

Bai Xin quickly led the two of them to the headquarters building of Tengying. The boss's car naturally had its own parking space.

There aren't many cars parked nearby.

If someone blocks the boss's car while parking, that would be terrible.

The security guards will all be fired.

Yang Qian went downstairs to greet them, but when they arrived at the door, she asked them to wait in the rest room first.

"Shishi is still inside discussing the collaboration, please wait a moment."

"Shishi, which Shishi?"

"Who else could it be but Shi Shi, the actress who starred in Scarlet Heart?"

"Is it her?"

Zhao Feifei was overjoyed, never expecting to meet her idol on this trip.

Bai Xin said she wasn't surprised, after all, her family now owns a top-tier entertainment company.

What celebrity can't you see?

Any celebrity who comes to them is just an ordinary person in front of the uncle.

The older man won't invest money just because you're pretty and famous.

Otherwise, that fairy-like lady and the wealthy man wouldn't have left empty-handed.

After a short while, Chen Pingsheng came out.

His investments in the entertainment industry only take a few minutes.

It was only because of his fame that he received me specially.

The TV series she filmed were reasonably profitable, barely reaching 200%.

He only invested 30 million.

The payback period is a year and a half, which is relatively slow.

"You've arrived, please come in and have a seat."

Zhao Feifei was very excited. If it weren't for the timing, she would definitely have signed the autograph right now.

Being so close to a celebrity, especially one of my favorite idols.

Rapid heartbeat.

"Sister Shishi, I love watching you in Scarlet Heart the most. You acted so well."

Shi Shi isn't the kind of female celebrity who's stunning at first glance; rather, she has a refined and elegant demeanor that grows more pleasant the more you look at her.

She assumed these were all friends invited by Chen Pingsheng, so she naturally greeted them warmly.

In fact, many female celebrities in the entertainment industry like to seek investment from Tencent Pictures.

After all, Tengying already has a well-known slogan outside.

A master at casting for dramas, never losing a single game.

Every TV series invested in by Tencent Video has been profitable.

Last year, I invested 15 million yuan in the urban romance drama starring Dilireba.

Thirty million was returned.

That's not bad, it's good to use that money to invest in Shishi. "You guys haven't eaten yet, have you? I'm a little hungry too, let's go eat together, there's a new Boiling Sheep restaurant that just opened nearby."

It was lunchtime, and Shishi couldn't very well refuse.

What's more, this person just invested 30 million of his own money.

"So even big bosses like you like to eat at Boiling Sheep Restaurant?"

Zhao Feifei felt a sense of familiarity: "I thought only poor students like us liked going there."

Bai Xin and Yang Qian both turned to look at her at the same time, and gave her a mysterious smile.

"You'll understand why my husband likes going there once you get there."

It's very close; a group of people can walk there together.

Shi Shi wore a mask and a hat, as her fame makes it inconvenient for her to appear directly in public gathering places.

Each Fei Yang Yang Hot Pot restaurant requires an investment of over two million yuan and has an area of ​​no less than four hundred square meters.

They're all located in prime locations, and aside from the low prices, they're all high-end in every other aspect.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen, you've arrived."

"President Chen is here! Let's all be enthusiastic!"

"That's strange, how come they all know your boss, and why are they so enthusiastic?"

Zhao Feifei felt something was off, but Bai Xin reminded her, "Because Fei Yang Yang is owned by my boss, haha."

"Huh?" Zhao Feifei's eyes widened in surprise.

Unexpectedly, their favorite restaurant was owned by the man in front of them.

What a surprise.

There must be at least a few dozen branches of Boiling Sheep in Beijing.

As expected, the truly wealthy are unimaginably wealthy.

They own property in almost any place you go.

Chen Pingsheng led them into the largest private room. Once inside, Shishi casually took off her mask and hat.

The charisma of a big star is truly incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Her every smile and frown was like a gentle spring breeze.

Chen Pingsheng generously ordered a set meal for twelve people, consisting of four meat dishes and eight vegetable dishes, priced at 399 yuan.

There aren't even twelve people here, so it's more than enough for them, and there might even be some waste.

It's okay, the secretary can pack up any leftovers and take them home to eat.

Chen Pingsheng explained, "Boy Sheep could have reached a valuation of 15 billion this year, but who knew that Hunan TV would schedule Flower Through the Ages to air next summer, so we can only wait another six months."

This isn't surprising. After a local TV station buys the broadcasting rights, it's up to the station to decide when to air the show.

Shi Shi, standing to the side, was somewhat shocked. The entertainment industry is neither too big nor too small.

People outside the circle feel it's huge, while those inside feel it's tiny.

Zhao Liying's status is not as high as hers, at least not now.

However, under Tencent's arrangement, she invested in the Boiling Sheep Hot Pot Restaurant, which was very successful.

With an additional year's salary and bonuses, their income far exceeds that of top-tier celebrities.

I'm so envious!

The food wasn't coming out anytime soon. Chen Pingsheng leaned back in his chair, looked at Chu Qiuyan across from him, and said:
"Chu Qiuyan is 22 years old this year. She started learning about milk tea in junior high school. In her third year of junior high school, she developed a unique mango milk tea that was very popular with everyone."

"In high school, I supported my family by making milk tea while also completing my studies well. In less than three years of university, I successfully developed seven kinds of fruit-flavored milk tea that were very popular with my classmates."

"Am I right?"

Chu Qiuyan looked left and right, wondering how he knew her so well.

"You don't need to overthink it."

Chen Pingsheng said, "At our level, it's actually very easy to understand a person. I've called you here today mainly to talk to you about two things."

"The first thing is that I am prepared to spend five million to acquire your Bobo Milk Tea."

"what???"

Five million? Sitting next to Chu Qiuyan, Zhao Feifei wondered if she had gone hard of hearing.

Their bubble tea business cost less than 30,000 yuan at most.

What conditions are required to sell it for five million?

“I know you might have some doubts, after all, investing in a store like yours would cost less than 100,000 at most.”

Chen Pingsheng said calmly, "The reason I offered a hundredfold premium is less about buying the store and more about my investment in you, Chu Qiuyan, personally. I hope you can join our Tenghui Capital's milk tea business."

"Currently, your Bobo Milk Tea has four partners. We don't approve of the other two, except for two."

"Once you two are willing to join us, I can't guarantee much, but it won't be a problem for you to achieve financial freedom within a few years."

"As you probably know, besides good taste, the key to a milk tea shop is effective promotion. Fortunately, we have our own entertainment company, and from the very beginning, at least one top female star will personally be in charge of promoting your business."
