The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 190 Tengying's New Headquarters Building
7 month 18 number.

Chen Pingsheng took Chen An'an back to Beijing.

After being mercilessly beaten to tears by her mother, the little brat actually ran off to steal her sister's large pearl necklace and hung it around her neck.

Just imagine how funny it would be to see that chubby little girl with a string of big pearls dangling from her chest.

Chen Pingsheng ignored her, and Song Yanxi was too lazy to call him.

The little rascal wasn't afraid of being hit at all; right after being hit, he wiggled his chubby little butt and went to hug and play with his little sister.

Song Yanxi received a transfer of 320 million yuan, and then received another 200 million yuan from her husband.

She had a lot of money all at once, and she didn't know what to do with it.

Chen Pingsheng asked her to take out 20 million yuan as a reward for the outstanding beauticians at Shuiyunjian.

If we select three from each store, that makes about seventy-five in total.

One person will receive a prize of 300,000.

Song Yanxi thought it was okay, but before awarding the prize, they should still hold an activity to evaluate outstanding employees.

They need to know about this.

Don't be fooled by the fact that 20 million seems like a lot; it's really nothing to their family.

Buying a yacht that any big kid likes can easily cost over 50 million.

It's a good deal to reward employees with money.

Song Yanxi asked Chen Qi to send a notice to Shuiyunjian, and the news shocked the entire internet once again.

You can't even say how many times you get bonuses here throughout the year!

In any case, each time they take out at least tens of millions or more.

As for Chen Pingsheng, he has 1.7 billion yuan.

Back then, I dreamed of buying a building in Beijing to serve as the headquarters of my company.

Now that the conditions are right, it's only natural that we should make it happen.

After he went to Tencent Film, all the employees there knew that Bobo Milk Tea had successfully completed its IPO, and a small group of people became financially independent as a result.

This includes Yang Qian, the former head of the public relations department.

Chen Pingsheng called Bai Xin and asked her to arrange a meeting with the landlord of the Tengying Building.

This building is quite nice, about five stories high, with each floor measuring 1,200 square meters.

While it may not be as prestigious as top-tier office buildings, it's still considered quite good for the Chaoyang area.

Mid-range.

After the landlord understood his meaning, he offered 500 million.

Chen Ping didn't even haggle over the price and immediately prepared to move the headquarters.

What kind of conditions are these? This is only mid-range, even low-end, and yet they quoted 500 million.

We moved here because we didn't have enough money.

Now that he has enough money, he wants to buy himself a ten-story office building.

Not only can it be the headquarters building of Tengying, but it can also house Tengying Department Store and Tengying Fresh Food.

With only one or two hundred employees, Guangtengying naturally doesn't need such a large headquarters building.

Chen Pingsheng contacted acquaintances to start looking around for Grade A office buildings for sale.

Sure enough, he found one very quickly.

An 18-story Grade A office building with natural light from all four sides, each floor has an area of ​​2,500 square meters.

It also has a staff restaurant, coffee shop, convenience store and everything else you could need.

It truly embodies international standards, and it's only three or four kilometers from his home, which is incredibly convenient.

"Mr. Chen, we have six independent elevators here, which can ensure that your employees will never experience any congestion during their work hours."

"In addition, this is your top-floor CEO office, with natural light from two sides. Sitting here to work will definitely ensure your comfort every day."

Chen Pingsheng took a look.

As expected of a Grade A office building, its grandeur is truly incomparable to the small Tengying headquarters we had before.

The parking lots have two underground levels and eighteen floors above ground.

It's just across the street from the bustling shopping street in front, and the asking price is 9.8 million.

Fixed price, no bargaining allowed.

Real estate prices are rising incredibly fast these days, so this price is quite reasonable.

This is roughly the price of a Grade A office building in a prime location within the Second Ring Road.

Chen Pingsheng found a developer to sign a contract.

The two didn't talk much about the building, but they did talk about other things.

The developer is in his fifties and came to Beijing in the 1990s to seek his fortune.

I started out in the antique business, which was a particularly good business back then.

He started working in the real estate industry in Beijing in the early 2000s.

There aren't many properties being developed.

He liked the way of making money in Hong Kong, which involved buying a piece of land, building it slowly, and then selling it gradually.

They will only start aggressively selling after the housing prices have risen to a satisfactory level.

Take this Grade A office building, for example. They bought it back in 03, developed it for over ten years, and then held onto it for another two or three years.

They only put the property on the market after they felt that the housing prices had peaked.

They managed to keep the property price from 100 million to over 900 million.

This is basically how Hong Kong people do real estate in mainland China.

Large real estate developers in mainland China often emphasize high turnover.

They acquire the land in one month, lay the foundation in two months, and start selling apartments in the third month.

Even if you sell 10 billion worth of goods, you can only earn less than 5% at most.

But this boss is completely different. He doesn't develop much land, but he's held onto it for seven or eight years.

He can make at least half of the profits if the company sells 10 billion worth of goods.

There's no other reason than that housing prices have skyrocketed across the board.

It's safe and profitable.

No need to worry about not being able to sleep at night, and no need to worry about unfinished buildings.

This is the biggest difference between Hong Kong real estate developers and mainland real estate developers.

They don't engage in high debt at all; they just pursue high profits.

Chen Pingsheng bought this building and somehow ended up becoming good friends with him.

This tycoon has countless antiques in his home, but unfortunately, Chen Pingsheng has no interest in that at all. He also doesn't like accumulating debt, so he reduced his 980 million debt by 30 million.

This is considered a small favor from the boss.

Chen Pingsheng made a one-time payment of 9.5 million yuan.

After the two signed the contract, they officially notified Tengying to move to the new headquarters.

The design here is very comprehensive, and all kinds of infrastructure are available.

He doesn't need to do anything anymore; he just needs to hire someone to thoroughly clean the place before moving.

And while you're at it, wipe all the building windows.

The developer will handle this; he doesn't need to worry about it. The handover ceremony will be held three days later.

It will then be officially displayed on the Tencent Film headquarters building.

The moment the headquarters building was changed, the imposing presence immediately came through.

Can a company that owns an 18-story Grade A office building in a top-tier city be small?

That imposing presence is enough to confuse anyone.

Secretary Bai Xin was so happy she almost jumped for joy; she was the uncle's only designated secretary.

Tengying, who used to be a casual observer on Xianyu (a Chinese online marketplace), moved to a place like that to work.

The building was even bought by its own boss, which boosted its prestige far beyond other entertainment groups.

Three days later, the four large characters "Tengying Entertainment" were still hanging on the sign and under construction.

It is expected to take another week before it is officially hung on this magnificent top-tier office building.

However, a large number of reporters still attended the handover ceremony.

After all, Tencent Pictures is an entertainment group, the center of news storms.

If some people previously doubted the authenticity of his 10 billion valuation, now he's directly spending 1 billion to buy the headquarters building.

Who would doubt that now?

Ten billion is too low; otherwise, how could it be worthy of a headquarters building purchased with ten billion in cash?

The staff canteen here is being managed by Fei Yangyang.

It can accommodate nearly a thousand people to eat together at the same time.

The staff meals include lunch and dinner, with cuisines from all over China, and are all buffet style.

Take whatever you want to eat, eight yuan a meal, fair and square.

According to Chen Pingsheng's standards, that means the lowest price and the highest quality.

If the employees aren't eating well, how can you expect them to work with peace of mind?

Three large companies have moved into the new headquarters building.

The first floor is the reception hall, which also serves as a rest area for employees.

The second, third, and fourth floors are the third floor of Tengsheng Fresh Food's headquarters.

There are currently fewer than fifty Tengsheng Fresh Food stores, and the three-story building is sufficient for the small scale.

The fifth floor is the staff canteen.

The sixth floor houses the staff café, gym, recreation room, and more.

Further up, from the seventh to the eleventh floor, is Teng Hui Department Store.

Having invested 1.5 billion, it still deserves to have five floors as its headquarters.

The twelfth floor has been transformed into a cinema, viewing rooms, and a multimedia discussion hall.

After all, Tencent is an entertainment group, so this kind of transformation is quite necessary.

Floors 13 to 18 are the headquarters of Tengying Entertainment.

Floors 13 to 15 house the online marketing department, finance department, group legal department, and various other departments where basic staff are gathered.

The three-story space can accommodate at least a thousand people working at the same time.

This is more than enough to serve as the basic service department of Tencent Film Group.

Further up, on the sixteenth floor, is Yang Mi and Zhao Liying's personal studio.

Their personal teams work inside, and it can also accommodate several top-tier celebrities.

Not yet.

The seventeenth floor belongs to the director; currently, Tencent Film Studio only has two directors.

One was Yang Jiancheng, the earliest actor, and the other was Chen Sicheng, who went to film "Disappearance".

Apart from a few directors, the remaining half is a training room for newcomers.

The reason for placing the newcomer training room near the director's office is to facilitate guidance.

The 18th floor belongs to him and Teng Hui Capital.

Lin Jia is mainly in charge of the marketing department at Teng Hui.

Chen Pingsheng arranged for them to conduct a nationwide survey of coffee shops.

He still really wants to run a coffee shop.

If he could replicate the Bobo Milk Tea brand, wouldn't he be able to make a fortune again?

This kind of business is still very attractive.

The news that Tencent Pictures spent 1 billion yuan to buy its headquarters building in Beijing still caused a great shock in the entertainment industry.

I don’t know when it started, but Tengying has become an invincible general in the industry.

Every film invested in by Fanteng Films has been a money-loser.

In less than five years since its founding, it has become a unicorn behemoth in the industry.

It is second only to established film giants like Huayi Brothers.

Now it's been revealed that they spent 1 billion to buy their headquarters building; it would be a lie to say that it's not an exaggeration.

A few entertainment companies could achieve what he has in just a few years.

Not a single one.

They're really rich and powerful without even breaking a sweat.

On the day the building was officially inaugurated as part of Tengying Entertainment, the people in the neighborhood knew that another behemoth corporation had arrived in the area.

It would be a lie to say I'm not envious; who hasn't fantasized about being in their youth, in control of their own destiny?

To own such a skyscraper in such a bustling area of ​​Beijing.

That's undoubtedly a business tycoon, the kind who can command the world with a wave of his hand.

Who wouldn't dream of a life like that?

It's just a pity; while I'm fantasizing, I still think it would be great to be able to work there.
