The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

night.

He came here to visit his old classmates from the CEO training program, He Bijun and Hu Ding, who both suggested that he also get a private helicopter, since it's quite easy to fly in Guangdong.

Many wealthy people drive this kind of car when they go out to eat.

Chen Pingsheng thought about it and thought it was alright.

Applying for a flight permit for a regular private jet is very complicated.

Helicopters are fine, as they are low-altitude flying vehicles.

Many bosses in Guangdong like to ride this thing to work. They've never even tried it themselves, so buying one is quite a good idea.

When Xiao Chun and the others arrived, they heard people inside discussing the purchase of a helicopter.

"Old Chen, with your wealth, I suggest you buy a Sikorsky S-92."

"This is a twin-engine medium-heavy helicopter. It features an all-aluminum frame and a four-bladed rotor to reduce noise and vibration, and can accommodate 19 passengers."

"The maximum cruising speed is 280 km/h, and the range is approximately 997 km. It is equipped with an additional fuel tank, which can extend the range by 500 km."

It can probably fly 1500 kilometers on a full tank of gas.

Chen Pingsheng asked him, "Just tell me how much it costs?"

He Bijun smiled and said, "It's not high, only 3500 million US dollars. My and Lao Hu's are both around eight million US dollars. You definitely need to buy a better one."

"Okay, then let's order one."

These top-of-the-line helicopters aren't something you can just buy whenever you want; you need to pre-order them a while in advance.

It could take as little as two months or as long as six months.

When the big kid arrives, she'll definitely love playing on these flying vehicles.

A toy worth 200 million was bought on a whim.

Gao Hu stayed with Xiao Chun and her cousin until they arrived.

Xiao Chun was still nervous when she saw Lao Chen. Chen Pingsheng asked her to sit down, and they ate dinner at his house again that night.

Gao Hu personally went to cook; the nanny had already prepared the ingredients in advance, so all he had to do was stir-fry them.

Cooking for his future wife wouldn't be beneath him.

To Chen Pingsheng's slight surprise, her cousin's boyfriend showed up again; this guy was quite shameless.

However, he didn't pay any attention to it.

Where did you all go shopping today?

“It’s in Taikoo Hui. I’m planning to go to the factory tonight to move some things out,” Xiao Chun said.

"Moving out is the right thing to do. Your boyfriend is, after all, the CEO of Boiling Sheep, and at the very least, he has 30,000 to 40,000 employees nationwide."

Chen Pingsheng said, "Your parents should arrive tomorrow."

Xiao Chun nodded. Her parents didn't know she had found such a rich boyfriend.

There's also an even richer brother.

"I'll have Gao Hu accompany you to pick up your parents tomorrow. You can stay here tonight."

His house is really big, almost five stories.

You have to take the elevator to get to your room.

Chen Pingsheng plans to have a meal with her parents tomorrow and then return to Shanghai.

If it weren't for Gao Hu, he wouldn't be here now.

"Mr. Chen, I have a project here. Do you want to take a look? I guarantee it will make money."

What guarantees do you have?

Perhaps seeing that he planned to leave tomorrow, my cousin's boyfriend immediately jumped in and said.

He showed no impatience with Chen Pingsheng's question, but he couldn't give a clear answer.

They just kept emphasizing how reliable the project was.

Chen Pingsheng interrupted him again: "Do you know how many people like you I see every year?"

"How many?"

"The last person like you who came to me for money jumped off a building. Do you want to try it too?"

It was quite awkward, so Chen Pingsheng waved for Zhao Yimin to kick him out.

This time they really aren't giving me any face at all.

Even her cousin didn't say anything; the most embarrassing thing about her boyfriend was that she herself was the one who did it.

After Gao Hu finished cooking, He Bijun and Hu Ding left.

Xiao Chun went to the factory to move her belongings out. She had come to this large shoe factory after graduating from high school.

Three or four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

They moved out of there now because they're discussing marriage.

There were too many familiar people and memories in the factory.

There are also many fellow villagers.

Gao Hu was being polite and decided to treat them all to a late-night snack.

Old Chen would definitely not come on such an occasion.

After having a late-night snack, we went to the most famous karaoke bar nearby.

Xiao Chun and her sisters hugged each other.

Honestly, best friends all want you to be successful, but they don't expect you to be much better off than them.

Xiao Chun is usually a bit silly, so how did she suddenly find such a super rich boyfriend?

Especially since her cousin told her that the two of them hadn't even started talking about marriage yet.

Her boyfriend's brother gifted her a convertible Bentley and a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in Guangzhou.

She suddenly became a middle-class rich woman.

On the other hand, they still only earn a fixed five or six thousand a month. That's a huge difference!

Xiao Chun's two best friends were so envious they were practically spitting blood.

This is life.

Seeing that Xiao was becoming more innocent, they stopped hoping for more.

Surely we can lend them a hand!

Given her boyfriend's status as the owner of a listed company, any job he could easily arrange for her would be ten or a hundred times better than working in a factory.

Holding Xiao Chunchun tightly, he quickly said, "Don't wait until she gets married, or she might forget about us."

The next day, Xiao Chun's parents arrived in Guangzhou with her only younger brother.

I still traveled for more than ten hours by train to get here.

A family that can afford to send its 18-year-old daughter to work in a factory must not be very well-off.

He's a genuine country person.

After Gao Hu picked them up, he invited them to have dinner at Boiling Sheep Restaurant.

Chen Pingsheng also came. Xiao Chun's mother was honest and simple, while her father was more fond of boasting.

Two small glasses of wine down.

Speaking of his entrepreneurial journey in the 1990s, it was an exciting and eventful one.

The gist of it is that he came to Guangdong to make money for the first time, and his money was stolen on the train.

Then they headed back to the village.

My second entrepreneurial venture was even more interesting; I was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme.

He said he'd drive a tractor and bring the money back within a year, which terrified everyone.

And then, well, those who know, know what pyramid schemes are like.

It's impossible to load money onto a tractor, but it's definitely possible to swindle all the money from relatives and friends.

As for the third time, that was five years later.

He met a marketing guru who taught him how to sell Pantene shampoo and combs to monks.

I bought a huge amount of goods, and then... you know what happened.

He's already quite old, but he's still as vigorous as ever and enjoys listening to self-help books.

I always feel like I can do it again.

He can still recite the inspirational story of the old man who started KFC at the age of sixty.

It's quite interesting.

Chen Pingsheng only listened to it, and returned to the capital after finishing his meal.

As for Chang Fu and Zhang Tao, he has already spoken about them.

This time, Gao Hu is really going to settle down and get married.

Mr. and Mrs. Gao are overjoyed and are currently on their way from Shacheng to Guangzhou by high-speed rail.

After meal.

Chen Pingsheng shook hands with Xiao's parents and prepared to return to Shanghai first.

The trip to Guangzhou cost quite a bit of money.

His top-of-the-line Phantom became his mode of transportation here.

As for the helicopter, it will take at least several more months to arrive.

When it arrives, we can use it to shoot short videos that become popular online.

"Old Chen, my parents are on their way. Aren't you going to wait for them to arrive?"

"I can't wait any longer. I'll treat them properly when they go to the capital."

Chen Pingsheng gave Gao Hu a few instructions, and then told Xiao Chunchun, "If he treats you badly in the future, just call me. Also, spend more time in Shanghai and Beijing. Your sister-in-law would love to meet you."

To make a playboy settle down and enter the marriage hall with peace of mind, Xiao Chunju used her most sincere side no matter what.

It moved his brother.

After saying goodbye, Chen Pingsheng boarded a plane and left.

Xiao Chun watched the plane take off before leaving.

Although she only met Old Chen for two days, this kind and wealthy uncle left a deep impression on her.

Perhaps in her heart, Lao Chen is more like a reliable older man!
She really wanted to go to Beijing to meet the legendary Old Chen's wife.

"It's like we've been apart for ages."

Gao Hu smiled and said, "In the middle of each month, we have to go to the group to report on the company's development. I'll take you with me then."

Since you've decided this is the person you want to marry for life.

The two also made rapid progress.

After Gao's parents arrived, they had a brief discussion and finalized the wedding arrangements.

In the afternoon, I simply went and picked up the certificate.

They became a legally registered couple, and as for taking wedding photos, they went to places near the factory and places where they had just met to take them.

Love knows no age; it only depends on whether you have the financial means.

We got our marriage certificate and took our wedding photos.

As for the wedding venue, Gao Hu thought it over and decided to hold it in Beijing.

Because Old Chen is over there.

Boiling Sheep also started in Beijing, and the group's headquarters are located there.

The date was set for May 1st, Labor Day. (End of Chapter)
