The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

After Chen Pingsheng finished discussing the Guazi Used Cars matter.

Tong Zhelan personally invested 600 million yuan as follow-on investment, and then found two more investment institutions to jointly complete the remaining 600 million yuan.

After the three parties jointly signed the investment agreement, Bai Xin came to find him.

The secretary is already twenty-five years old. At the beginning, she was young and beautiful, but also a little naive.

From the current career woman to the top-tier working professional.

She also completed two of the most important transformations in her life at Tencent Film Studio.

One time was when she was doing a university internship, and the other time was when she chose to leave the entertainment industry to focus on being his full-time secretary.

Over the course of several years, the results have been very encouraging.

Not only in the city centers of Beijing and Haikou, they also have their own three-bedroom, two-living-room apartments.

Furthermore, he holds an extremely high personal status in the entertainment industry.

It far surpasses her industry status as an artist.

"Uncle, here are the specific details of the Lantern Festival electronic music festival."

The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, after which the end of the year will officially come to an end.

Welcome to the new year of 2016.

The entire Tengying Group also took a day off, having planned this dazzling electronic music festival that would rock the city last year.

Chen Pingsheng took the proposal and glanced at it quickly before focusing his attention on the product pricing.

"A glass of water costs thirty yuan? What genius came up with that?"

"Uncle, this price was set by our group's experts based on past electronic music festival events."

"We don't need to worry about what others do. When has our group ever needed to make money by selling water at exorbitant prices?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "All goods must not be charged. Also, go and inform Xin Teng's live stream team to have their top internet celebrities dance on stage as well."

Such large-scale events are inherently very popular.

Especially since it will be broadcast live online.

It can also help out those big internet celebrities and boost their popularity.

Internet celebrities are, in some ways, more like a flash in the pan.

After all, the reason she gained fans wasn't particularly compelling.

Luck played a dominant role.

They need to rely on constant exposure to gain popularity and attract fans' attention.

This is completely different from being a celebrity.

The electronic music festival was both a celebration within the group and a celebration for everyone.

It was yet another grand publicity campaign to celebrate the arrival of 2016.

"Uncle, the organizers of that entertainment industry extravaganza at the end of the month called personally. They really hope you can attend."

The entertainment industry's grand feast, to put it bluntly, is just a competition among female celebrities to outshine each other.

Each one of them wore a low-cut neckline.

Except for two key points that I couldn't reveal, I've shown you most of what I needed to show you.

Chen Pingsheng thought the event was quite a sight to behold. He had been in the entertainment industry for several years, and apart from the time he poached Yang Mi, he had never participated in another event.

It seems like it's a good idea to go and take a look now.

What's wrong with a female celebrity looking at someone dressed so revealingly?
And it doesn't cost any money!

Bring Chang Fu along, and it would be best to invite Gao Hu as well.

Boiling Sheep will be listed by the end of the month, with a starting market value of 8 billion yuan, making it an undoubtedly super-large enterprise in the catering industry.

"Sure, you can just reply to them."

Chen Pingsheng agreed, and Bai Xin immediately replied. This kind of invitation message was only sent by the organizer's boss, who was extremely famous. It was a personal message from him to the uncle.

That's how you get to his personal phone; otherwise, you usually have to send the invitation to the group first and then contact the secretary's office.

In short, once one's social status rises, all sorts of social parties and events come into play.

Chen Pingsheng didn't participate in any of them.

Focus on your own work.

This 2016 Brilliant Electronic Music Festival was a grand celebration for the entire group.

Given Tencent Entertainment's industry standing, inviting several of the world's top 100 DJs would be a piece of cake.

He himself quite admires the pioneer of the Korean Wave in South Korea, the woman who danced the fan dance.

And QQ Dance, which I often played when I was young.

Back then, Sparks was incredibly popular, and he invited that group to join him.

It can be seen as a way of commemorating my youth.

……

The day before the Lantern Festival.

Jiang Peiyao came to see him secretly. Besides the top DJs and dance music stars invited to the group's electronic music festival,

The main performing guests are these trainee girl groups.

This is also a great opportunity for them to gain exposure from the group.

Jiang Peiyao and Yang Xiaoxiao were arranged to perform on the same stage as that famous Korean dance queen.

It would be a lie to say you have no pressure.

"Brother-in-law, why are you home alone again?"

"Your cousin is busy buying a property in Hong Kong, so I'm home alone."

"Huh? Why is my cousin buying a house in Hong Kong?" Jiang Peiyao scratched her head. She remembered that the house prices in Hong Kong were extremely expensive.

"Your cousin saw that housing prices were still soaring last year. She had over a billion yuan in her account. If she didn't invest and spend it, she wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly online."

Chen Pingsheng poured her a glass of 1945 Romanée-Conti, a wine that is extremely rare on the market.

His wife spent three million to buy it from a top-tier wealthy woman in Shuiyunjian.

When she goes to Hong Kong now, she goes with two top-tier wealthy women from Shui Yun Jian.

Those two middle-aged women from Beijing were trying to buy up gold.

Seriously speaking, those who are still speculating on real estate at this stage are basically not truly wealthy people anymore.

Rather, it's those middle-class individuals who are in slightly better financial condition.

The investments of the ultra-wealthy are strictly aligned with national policies.

Only when you are sure that the general direction is correct can you avoid major deviations.

Starting in 15, it wasn't just their family that fled the housing market.

Most of the high-spending, top-tier wealthy women in Shuiyunjian also ran away.

They sold off most of their properties.

Now these people are focusing their attention on gold.

Together, they could sweep up all the gold circulating in a region within a single day.

"Brother-in-law, didn't my cousin just buy a villa in Hong Kong in January?"

"Yes, it was bought for over 800 million."

Chen Pingsheng said, "Yesterday I saw a comment online about why rich people in Hong Kong don't like to live in villas. I replied, 'Because they're not rich enough.'"

"The villas on the mountaintop over there will probably cost at least a billion dollars in a few years. Here, even a billionaire can be called a rich person. Over there, even if you exhaust your entire fortune, you can only buy a 100-square-meter mansion."

Jiang Peiyao thought it was too exaggerated, especially back in the countryside.

I never imagined that the gap between the rich could be so large.

Her brother-in-law's family is already living in a villa over there.

Clearly, they are on a level far beyond the average wealthy person.

“If you ever go to Hong Kong in the future, you can stay at our hilltop villa. Your cousin has reserved a room for you.”

In Hong Kong, the difference between heaven and hell is just the mountaintop and the foot of the mountain.

On the mountaintop, one can sit and enjoy the view of the sea, while below, a family of six is ​​crammed into a ten-square-meter pigeon coop.

That kind of life was simply suffocating.

Having your own large room on the top of Xiangjiang Mountain is already synonymous with paradise.

That's true, at least for most people there.

“I’ve never been there. If my cousin buys a building and doesn’t live there, that would be such a waste. She could earn at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a month by renting it out.”

Jiang Peiyao offered a small suggestion.

The intention was good, but it's just not very useful.

If you were to rent out a hilltop villa worth over a billion, you wouldn't even dream of it without two million in rent every month.

This kind of red wine that costs millions a bottle doesn't taste very interesting.

I didn't develop a love for drinking when I was young, so now that I'm older, I basically just drink for the sake of drinking.

Chen Pingsheng put the stopper on the bottle. "Don't worry, your cousin isn't going to buy a building this time, but an office building. Our family is going to move Teng Hui Capital there, and also let Teng Ying Group have its own office in Hong Kong."

With over a billion yuan in mainland China, you could basically buy most office buildings, as long as they aren't too tall.

If you go to the most bustling commercial areas of Hong Kong, you could probably only buy four or five floors.

It's barely enough.

The main reason for moving Teng Hui Capital there is that this capital institution has acquired shares in all of its subsidiaries.

It's the true lifeline of the group, and moving it to Hong Kong is clearly safer.

Hong Kong is known as a place of financial freedom and a financial paradise.

In terms of safety alone, it is far superior to that on the mainland.

This property purchase is also intended to facilitate the smooth transfer of Teng Hui Capital there.

It was decided last year, but it's only being implemented this year.

Most companies can't even afford to rent a building in Hong Kong, let alone buy one.

Jiang Peiyao tried her best to understand these things slowly. It was difficult for her, but for Chen An'an, a little kid who had been exposed to these things since childhood, it was much easier.

It is actually very simple.

This is the advantage of being born into wealth; environment really does determine a lot.

Jiang Peiyao saw that he was home alone and asked him if he had eaten.

Chen Pingsheng was about to order takeout, but his wife wasn't home and he didn't want to cook. So what else could he eat if not takeout?

An average person might order a meal that costs ten or twenty yuan, but he would only order a meal that costs a few dozen yuan at most.

Or you could just throw in a bottle of multi-million dollar red wine as a drink.

What else?
When Jiang Peiyao opened the refrigerator, she found it was full of vegetables.

It was obvious that her cousin had made all the necessary preparations for the house before leaving.

Jiang Peiyao is not only beautiful, but also a very good cook.

Back in my rural hometown, I used to cook every day, and now I can easily make a few dishes.

Very fast.
