The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 192 Yang Mi Returns to Beijing
"Dad, you've got a little money now, is there anything you still wish for?"

In August, the summer sun blazes fiercely.

After finishing the CEO training program, Chen Pingsheng always felt empty inside.

It's like a habit you've maintained for a year suddenly having to end.

Actually, although he gained a lot from the CEO training program, he still didn't understand most of the professional knowledge.

The main problem is that my basic knowledge is too weak.

They are far inferior to investors like Tong Zhelan, who graduated from top universities.

The big kid sat next to him, and the little kid also sat next to him.

On the left and right, they served as his little protectors.

"My wish is that school won't start soon!"

Chen An'an was dumbfounded. Why was she in such a hurry to start school when she hadn't even had enough fun yet?
Give her another year, and she can make everyone in Nanluoguxiang know her name, Chen An'an.

"Sigh~ Summer vacation is only a short month long, time flies so fast."

"Is it fast?" Chen Pingsheng turned to look at her; it was indeed quite fast.

"Dad, my little sister wants milk. Can you get her some milk?"

Chen Pingsheng went inside to get her little baby bottle, which had a small nipple on it. The little one started giggling after putting it in her mouth.

The father and his two daughters had been sitting there for half an hour. When Liu Fen returned, her second cousin and third aunt were with her.

Unlike today, the older generation doesn't have four or five children per family.

This resulted in having a particularly large number of relatives in the capital.

It's the same back home.

Sometimes I can't figure it out. I see someone who looks very familiar, but I just can't remember their exact name.

Liu Fen was depressed for a while, but she's been full of energy again these days.

The main reason is that Vanke's stock price has risen too much.

She easily makes tens of thousands every day.

She quickly became known as the stock market guru in the Liu family, and even Peng Ying started learning stock trading from her.

Unfortunately, the market is still in a stock market crash.

The reason Vanke's stock price has been so volatile is because several giants are fiercely competing with it.

Many bigwigs have already stepped down.

This includes well-known companies such as Hengda, Baoneng, China Resources, and Pengcheng Metro.

Which one isn't a behemoth?

If this fight continues, it will only benefit those who hold Vanke shares.

For example, he himself had already invested 1.5 million yuan in advance, and could earn several million yuan every day.

I just don't know how long it will last.

Second cousin said, "Pingsheng, we all have to thank you. If it weren't for you letting us buy Vanke shares, we don't know how much we would have lost."

This is absolutely true.

Previously, Lao Liu's relatives had been following Baofeng Technology.

It was his reminder that prompted some people to switch their investments to Vanke.

The current situation is that thousands of stocks have hit their daily limit down, with Vanke standing out as the only exception.

"Yes."

My third aunt also said, "If you hadn't made us withdraw from Baofeng Technology in advance, we would all be crying our eyes out at home now. Look at the losses your aunts who didn't believe in bad luck have suffered."

Chen Pingsheng smiled but didn't say anything. If you only buy short-term stocks, it's really easy to lose money.

Choosing a high-quality stock and holding it for the long term offers a slightly more stable option.

Liu Fen and her friends also like to follow trends.

I buy some of this today because it's going up, and then I look at that and feel disgusted when it's going down tomorrow.

Chen Pingsheng didn't care. It was just a small amount of money anyway. He even gave Peng Ying several million so she could have some fun too.

Peng Ying didn't dare to buy too much; she would only buy 10,000 or 20,000 yuan worth each time.

Vanke's current situation means there's absolutely no need to make any changes.

Liu Fen chatted enthusiastically with them until Peng Ying came over to call him to dinner.

His younger sister is already twenty-four this year.

A while ago, when I was driving my newly bought Porsche Cayenne to work, I was rear-ended.

The car that was pursuing her was a Corolla worth around 100,000 yuan.

Chen Qi did not seek compensation from the other party, but that person still had to take responsibility.

We got to know each other after a while.

He had heard Peng Ying mention this before; the other person was a primary school teacher from out of town.

Peng Ying has been renting an apartment in Beijing, which she likes quite a bit.

I liked it very much as soon as I heard it was a teacher; I always felt it was a very good profession.

Today's invitation to dinner is actually just to thank Chen Qi.

They're not really together yet; they haven't even reached that stage.

Chen Pingsheng refused to go.

It was his wife who reminded him not to be too strict; his younger sister also has her own life.

As long as I know he's a reliable and honest person, that's enough.

August.

He actually still has quite a few things to do.

The main issue is with Boiling Sheep; he needs to go there in person.

Guangdong is a major province for migrant workers, with a large number of factories and people from all over the country.

Gao Hu has given up on being a flight attendant; all he's thinking about is spending that money wisely.

Of the 4.5 million yuan invested here, many stores have already opened one after another.

There are still a large number of people still doing renovations, and the headquarters is conducting training every day.

Chen Pingsheng stayed there for half a month before returning to the capital.

It was mid-August.

Bai Lu's earlier film, "Zhao Yao," was successfully bought by a local television station.

He also received a repayment of 90 million.

An investment of 60 million yielded a profit of 30 million.

For a new production, it's considered good as long as it doesn't lose money.

Some of the TV series I invested in last year are gradually generating revenue.

The only projects that haven't been sold yet are Liu Shishi's TV series and Yang Mi's "Eternal Love"—they haven't broken even yet.

Yang Mi's drama was filmed a long time ago, and it's already going through the auction process with the TV station.

Her income from this drama is significantly higher; it's estimated she can earn back 200 million yuan.

It cost 40 million yuan to produce, and it was destined to be a hit drama. Airing it in 2016 was perfect, seamlessly following the immense popularity of "The Legend of Hua Qian Gu".

As for Shi Shi's film, it only cost 30 million to produce, but it only recouped 60 million.

The TV series invested in 14 have gradually recouped their costs.

Tencent's financial report this year is even more dazzling and eye-catching.

Yang Mi flew in from Zhejiang; she's still a very fashionable internet celebrity.

The most outstanding actress of her generation.

"Chen Pingsheng, do you know how many new milk tea shops have opened in Shanghai?"

"Is this why you came back?"

Yang Mi has reaped enormous rewards from Bobo Milk Tea, and she will definitely rank among the top earners in this year's celebrity income rankings.

They might even surpass the long-time leader, Fan Haomen.

"I certainly wouldn't care about regular milk tea shops, but do you know who owns these milk tea shops?"

"Who?"

"Yang Baby".

Chen Pingsheng simply gave a light "oh" to this person, completely unconcerned.

This infuriated Yang Mi, who had made a special trip back. "Chen Pingsheng, why don't you go over there and take a look? Yang Baobei is incredibly popular right now. She's become a top-tier celebrity with just one variety show."

"What's so interesting about this? You don't think that just because she's famous she can run a bubble tea shop well!"

Chen Pingsheng shook his head, "Besides, isn't your reputation much greater than hers, Queen Yang? Why should you be afraid of her?"

"Yes."

Yang Mi loved to hear that and was delighted.

When it comes to narcissism, she's quite unique.

With such beauty, it's not unreasonable for her to undress in front of the mirror in the morning and admire herself, is it?
This was the first time Yang Mi had seriously looked at Tengying's new headquarters building. When they moved headquarters before, she and Zhao Liying both wanted to come back.

Chen Pingsheng did not allow it.

It was completely unnecessary; it wasn't anything major that required a response.

Chen Pingsheng wouldn't make her tea, so Yang Mi secretly brewed some of the Mao Feng tea he had hidden away.

With such fine tea, how could she not drink more?

Don't take advantage of the bastard.

"Chen Pingsheng, I heard you're thinking of opening a coffee shop again?"

"I have some ideas, but I haven't decided on the specifics yet."

"Don't forget your sister honey when the time comes. I trust you completely, and I feel safe investing with you."

"Honey, Honey, don't you know how many years younger you are than me?"

Chen Pingsheng gave her a cold glare, and Yang Mi puffed out her big chest arrogantly, "I only let you call me Sister Mi because I like you. I wouldn't be happy to do it with just anyone."

Fine, Chen Pingsheng didn't care about any of that anyway, since this woman had never been respectful to her elders.

"The coffee shop might open in Shanghai first, and I'll be staying there for a while then."

"Is this a good thing?"

Yang Mi's eyes lit up. "We usually film in Zhejiang. Since you're going to Shanghai, which is close by, I'd be happy to move the Tencent Film headquarters there."

"By the way, I ate at Fei Yangyang's place yesterday. You're not allowed to take my money because I arranged for reporters to take pictures. It'll probably be on the news tomorrow. Fei Yangyang is at a critical moment. If there's anything you need from my sister, just let me know."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you be idle."

Chen Pingsheng put down the financial statements in his hand and glanced at the time; it was already past noon.

He then invited Bai Xin to have dinner with him.

He doesn't really like going out alone with Yang Mi, mainly because this woman has too many fans.

You have to be careful not to be recognized wherever you go, or you'll be surrounded at any moment.

Yang Mi wore a black baseball cap with a little yellow duck on it, and a polar bear mask on top of that.

The main theme is the contrast between cuteness and eccentricity.

He still prefers to eat at Fei Yang Yang Restaurant; it's cheap and the food is good.

Yang Mi had finally returned to Beijing, so naturally he wanted to treat her to a meal, lest she spread rumors outside that he was stingy and couldn't even afford to treat her to a meal.

Boiling Sheep is everywhere in the capital. You don't even need to drive; you can just turn a corner after going downstairs. By sheer coincidence, he ran into Little Sister Chen Qi again.

She's still with that same elementary school teacher, and their relationship is progressing quite quickly.

My younger sister, Chen Qi, doesn't really like dressing up.

When she was very young, Chen Pingsheng would hold her and they would go fishing and catching shrimp together.

Now that I'm older, it's time to start thinking about marriage.

"Brother, you're here too!"

Chen Qi was a little nervous, afraid that his brother would not like this one again.

Actually, Chen Pingsheng simply hoped that she could marry well.

As for the criteria for marrying well, there are no criteria.

He had investigated her new boyfriend.

He came from a rural area and had no connections. The fact that he was able to become a teacher at a small primary school in Beijing was entirely due to the strong recommendation of his university professor.

He was a very hardworking person who only had one girlfriend from high school to college. Meeting Chen Qi was an accident.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, I knew Chen Qi was well-off, but I didn't know she was that well-off.

The highest he could ever hope for was to become a multi-millionaire.

The difference in their social status made him quite insecure.

Chen Qi was always the one taking the initiative.

He was with Yang Mi, so it was impossible for him to eat in the main hall; they could only book a private room.

Chen Qi sat opposite him and kept whispering, "Brother, Hu Lin wanted to invite you to dinner several times before, but you were always busy."

"I really don't have time, I went to Guangdong."

After a pause, Chen Pingsheng added, "If you two really want to talk, invite his parents to the capital sometime so you can all sit down and discuss it together."

"Brother, do you agree?" Chen Qi was very happy.

“You’re already twenty-four. If I don’t agree now, I’m really afraid you’ll become an old maid who can’t get married.”

Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about?
Yang Mi, who was standing nearby, was unhappy and secretly kicked him.

"Chen Pingsheng, there's something wrong with your thinking. So what if you're twenty-four? Does that mean you have to find a man at twenty-four? I don't need to find a man, and I'm still living a good life."

"You can pull him down."

Chen Pingsheng said, "My sister comes from an ordinary family, how can she compare to your sister Mi?"

Yang Mikazilan's big eyes widened in disbelief. How could he possibly say that his own sister came from an ordinary family?

Yang Mi took off her mask and baseball cap, which startled Hu Lin, the elementary school teacher opposite her.

Isn't this a big star who only appears on TV?
