The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Faced with her husband's crazy outbursts in the middle of the night.

Song Yanxi found it hard to understand; she had finally managed to lie down and sleep soundly.

As a result, he was kicked so hard that he fell under the bed. Anyone would be furious in that situation.

I'm going to beat him up no matter what.

Chen Pingsheng's surprise was hard for his wife to understand.

He just watched that movie about emotional investment, Wolf Warrior 2, using his golden finger.

Guess what?

The investment and filming period takes a year, with a guaranteed return of over ten times.

The most outrageous thing is the following sentence: number one on the box office chart.

It can still last at least five years.

In other words, this film will not be able to surpass it for at least five years.

He actually invested in a film that became the highest-grossing film in history.

He gave his wife a kiss, and after discovering that her breath smelled quite good, he kissed her several more times.

Song Yanxi was woken up by the noise, so she simply plopped down on him.

The two bickered and argued until 3 a.m. before finally going to sleep.

I got up again around 7 a.m.

Song Yanxi gave him a reproachful look, "If you kick my little bottom again tonight, I'm going to sleep in a separate bed from you."

"Don't make trouble."

After washing up, Chen Pingsheng looked at his wife, who was still putting on light makeup, and said:
"Didn't you want to buy an apartment in Shanghai? I think you should either not buy one at all, or if you do, buy one that's a bit bigger like mine, at least like the ones in Beijing, seventeen or eighteen stories high."

Song Yanxi was speechless. "How many stores are there in Shanghai's Shuiyunjian? Do I need to buy such a big one? Besides, the really big ones would cost at least a billion, where would I get that much money?"

"You don't have it, but I do."

Chen Pingsheng massaged her shoulders. His wife was still very beautiful; a young woman in her late twenties was the most alluring.

"Don't just focus on what's in front of you. We need to take a longer view. The Shuiyunjian headquarters in Shanghai can be used as the national headquarters, while this one in Beijing is mainly for training academies."

"Using Shuiyun Academy in the capital as the headquarters, and having you work inside, while outsiders can't get in, is quite troublesome."

"Moreover, by the end of the year, our family will invest 600 to 700 million yuan to open 30 Shuiyunjian branches in Shanghai. In the future, we will also invest in Shenzhen and Guangdong. A headquarters building of more than ten floors is still very necessary."

With such high profits in Shuiyunjian, spending 700-800 million to buy a building wouldn't be a big burden at all.

Song Yanxi thought about it and realized that this meant her family would need a large sum of money at the end of the year.

The more than 900 beauticians trained at Shuiyunjian will all graduate next June.

During the two-year training program, their family invested a total of over 100 million yuan in these individuals.

The training includes meals and accommodation, and you'll receive 3,000 yuan per month.

What other beauty industry is so willing to spend money on its employees?

I'll be graduating in six months, and it's time to give them a return gift.

Song Yanxi calculated the money in her pocket. Excluding the risk fund set aside by the company, the total amount she could use was just over 400 million yuan.

That's far from enough.

Her husband has 200 million, so together they have over 600 million.

Still not enough.

This one is simple.

Since we can't raise that much money now, we can only wait for the annual grand night at Shuiyunjian.

This year is different from last year.

Twenty-five Shuiyunjian Clubs were simultaneously set up, and this only happens once a year.

According to Chen Pingsheng's estimate, at least one billion yuan worth of transactions could be completed on that night of the grand event.

This is no exaggeration at all.

Because he decided to spend 200 million to host this grand gala.

The ultimate in luxury will be the sole theme of that evening.

Since the "Grand Night" event is primarily for customers who have made a purchase, no mobile phone photography will be allowed at the event.

The footage must not be disseminated.

For the super-rich, attending concerts is generally of no appeal.

Only by making them clearly feel that big stars are there to serve them can we truly make them feel that they are being served by big stars.

That's what gives you the feeling of ultimate luxury.

Therefore, Chen Pingsheng planned to invite all the female artists from Tengying Entertainment to attend that night.

Let them sit with those super-rich women and create more interactive opportunities.

The wine served at the party will be 1982 Lafite.

For white liquor, go for Guojiao 1573.

As for the lucky draw, Song Yanxi and her partner prepared the gifts.

Last year it was all about giving away cars, but this year it's all about giving away various kinds of jewelry.

Those who are invited to attend this gala are only qualified to enter if they have spent more than 500,000 yuan annually at Shuiyunjian.

Therefore, all the gifts Song Yanxi prepared were luxury goods that women love.

It offers a wide range of products, including limited-edition Hermès bags, Richard Mille watches, and Bulgari jewelry.

Prices range from hundreds of thousands to millions.

The lucky draw is an interactive element, and it was very successful last year.

There will definitely be prizes this year, totaling around 60 million yuan.

All invited clients.

They can also receive a free bottle of Chanel perfume and a Hermès belt.

These two items alone will require at least 20 million.

We won't invite too many people to the event; the key is to invite those who can afford to spend money.

The prizes plus this gift alone will cost 90 million, not to mention hiring celebrities.

All things considered, the total investment will not be less than 200 million.

These kinds of sales-oriented cocktail parties often involve a high return on investment.

There's nothing I'm reluctant to part with.

Seeing how meticulously she had prepared, Chen Pingsheng didn't pay much attention to it.

Cocktail parties are inherently characterized by their extravagance.

Naturally, we must make those customers feel the immense wealth and luxury that comes from Shuiyunjian.

How can this be done without several hundred million?
He only needs to be in charge of the star lineup for that night.

With Tencent Entertainment's current influence in the film and television industry, there's no star they can't invite.

Chen Pingsheng drove to work, while Liu Fen took the little kid to school.

This mother-in-law's daily routine consists of researching stocks and taking care of the kids.

She no longer cared what kind of car she drove; her daughter could drive whatever she wanted.

Just take good care of the child.

I drive my Bentley and Rolls-Royce Phantom occasionally, and sometimes I'll wear old-fashioned glasses and take a LaFerrari for a spin. I always feel like I've reached the pinnacle of life.

Chen Pingsheng didn't care; he had so many car keys at home, he could just pick whichever set he wanted and drive it.

Not to mention the watches; when the luxury watch storage box was opened, there were more than ten watches in total.

Before I knew it, I had bought so many watches.

Choose whichever one you pick and wear it.

The suits were similar; everything was neatly arranged when the wardrobe was opened.

His clothes can't be hand-washed; you have to go to a very professional, high-end laundry shop.

A single wash would probably cost a few hundred yuan.

The cost of his laundry alone is nearly 20,000 yuan per month.

His wife is similar; she can't tolerate even the slightest crease in any of her clothes.

Anyway, there are people who come to collect them every day, and they will be delivered on time after washing.

Being understated means focusing on the style of the clothes, not their quality.

Anyway, the lifestyles of people in their circle are all pretty much the same, and there are very few who earn money but don't spend it much.

If the rich don't spend their money, how can the economy continue to circulate?

Therefore, the frugality of the rich does no good for society whatsoever.

It is not encouraged at all.

It's impossible to rely on ordinary people to support GDP.

On the way there, Chen Pingsheng called Wu Jing from yesterday.

Eighty million is too little; he wants to invest two hundred million directly.

Wu Jing thought there had been a change in his investment, but when he heard the news, he realized that the other party wanted to make up the remaining 1.2 million.

With the full investment, he no longer needs to solicit investment.

Originally, investing in a film project by a single entity is very risky, but Chen Pingsheng wasn't worried about that at all.

The main reason is that Tencent has already diluted billions of shares.

Those who could be persuaded by Tong Zhelan to invest in Tencent Entertainment were no simpletons.

As Wu Jing shook hands with him in the president's office, they officially signed the full investment agreement for Zhan Er.

After Chen Pingsheng made up the remaining 1.2 million, he also invited him to join Tencent Entertainment.

Once he signs with Tencent Film, he will never need to go out and earn money again for the rest of his life.

Tencent may not have much else, but it certainly doesn't lack money.

Wu Jing felt that he was a good match, and the contract was signed in the time it took to drink two cups of tea.

Such a generous boss, he's truly one of a kind in the entertainment industry.

Many of them rely on exploiting artists to earn income.

He doesn't need it at all.

Overjoyed, Chen Pingsheng immediately called Bai Xin over and said, "Tell the finance department to immediately transfer 30 million to Wu Jing's personal account as an extra director's fee."

Tengying's ambition is not just empty talk.

The project is still in the preparation stage, and the risks are huge. He has only just signed the contract.

The boss immediately gave him 30 million as a reward.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.

Chen Pingsheng was even more moved.

He swore he had never encountered such a profitable film project in his entire life.

Wu Jing is his lucky charm.

Thirty million is nothing.

After receiving the money, Wu Jing immediately began preparing for the film crew's production.

It takes at least a year from filming to release.

It doesn't matter.

He can afford to wait.

After Wu Jing left, Chen Pingsheng called his secretary over and said, "Bai Xin, I'm in a really good mood. What's a good way to let my employees know that I'm in a good mood too?"

Suddenly, a scene of money raining down from the sky popped into Bai Xin's mind again.

It was all gleaming white banknotes.

She said happily, "Uncle, you used to give out money whenever you were happy, and your employees were happy too."

"Tacky."

Chen Pingsheng said, "Why do you always use such clichéd methods? We need to be creative."

"So, what do you mean, sir?"

Bai Xin really wanted to say, don't think it's tacky, this is what everyone likes the most.

Chen Pingsheng thought for a moment and said, "Go and send out a notice that everyone should meet at the Tenghui Supermarket in Nanluoguxiang at 8 p.m. Each person will have a shopping cart and a shopping card worth 20,000 yuan. Spend as much as you can within half an hour, and don't keep any leftovers."

Teng Hui Supermarket also belongs to him.

Letting employees play a shopping game inside sounds like a good idea.

After he became very wealthy, he always liked to let his employees enjoy more benefits.

It's not easy for anyone to work outside the home; if the boss doesn't treat them better...

What's the point of living like this?
Bai Xin happily went to the group's website to post an announcement, her hands behind her back.

It wasn't just Tencent Entertainment that received the message; all employees within the group did.

It made a clanging sound.

The President's Office announced: "At 8 PM tonight, all employees of the Group will gather at the Teng Hui Supermarket in Nanluoguxiang. Each employee will be given a shopping cart and can pick and take whatever they want within half an hour, with a maximum limit of 20,000 yuan."

Song Shuiqing: ? ? ?

The staff in the coffee shop all received this ringing sound, and after opening it, they were stunned for eight seconds.

Then we looked at each other.

They were overjoyed and everyone was talking about it.

What does this mean?
They just gave me a shopping card worth 20,000 yuan as a reward.

Those who were thinking of getting a new phone should get a new one, and those who wanted to buy a big TV should go and get a big TV.

The last day of October.

It's incredibly lively. According to statistics, after the major relocation from Shanghai, there are only 1600 employees here.

Next month we'll be recruiting heavily, and I wonder who will be lucky enough to get in.

Anyway, it's going to be very lively at 8 pm tonight.

In preparation for this special group celebration, Teng Hui Supermarket issued a notice in the afternoon.

After 8 PM, we only accept employees of the group.

Even big kids came to join in the fun.
