The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 265 White Cloud Headquarters
This era is changing very quickly.

No matter how things change, the fundamental principle that mastering traffic means mastering business remains unchanged.

After discussing it with Chang Fu, Chen Pingsheng secretly registered a relatively unknown live streaming company.

They also located the company in Guangdong, and deliberately distanced themselves from Xin Teng's live streaming.

To avoid being implicated.

He can no longer run the short video platform business; it's definitely a field dominated by giants.

Whoever can break through in this field will control users' time.

The benefits of this are self-evident.

This platform allows companies to directly extend their reach into e-commerce, social media, food delivery, live streaming, gaming, and many other fields.

Society is becoming increasingly restless and superficial.

Fundamentally, the rise of short videos is mainly due to the fact that young people today have little patience.

They no longer want to watch those long TV dramas that don't even have a satisfying moment.

Short videos, which are fast-paced and last only a few seconds, are clearly more in line with the entertainment habits of young users.

Simply put, it's about capturing users' fragmented time.

This could fundamentally lead to unprecedented changes in the entire entertainment industry.

How can we adapt to the times and plan ahead in the short video market?

Establishing a live-streaming e-commerce company is one aspect, but the key is also to enable Tencent Entertainment to capitalize on the short drama trend.

Since long-form videos are becoming increasingly unpopular with young people, why not adapt to their consumption habits?

Is it time to position oneself in the short drama market?
For Chen Pingsheng, he enjoyed too much traffic dividend in the early stages of his entrepreneurship.

They are well aware of the significance and benefits that traffic brings.

The future of new energy will undoubtedly be the most competitive sector, if he can possess an absolute traffic empire.

That would be of great significance in helping the company take off.

The era of short dramas hasn't even arrived yet, but Chen Pingsheng has already seen the future of short dramas in the short video field.

The principle is also very simple.

It means to despise the old habit of long, tedious, and drawn-out dramas.

Learn directly from short videos and create a thrilling moment in just a few dozen seconds.

Then, by constantly twisting and turning plot points, they continuously attract users.

To put it more bluntly, it's all about constantly making users happy.

If Tencent Entertainment wants to do this, it definitely has the strongest industry resources.

Leaving aside their existing celebrity resources, there's also the soon-to-be-established Tencent Film Artist Training Academy.

These will all become the best breeding ground for short dramas.

After Chen Pingsheng allocated resources to establish a short drama film and television shooting center in Guangdong, he transferred a team from Tencent Film Entertainment there.

Drawing inspiration from current short video models, we can quickly create viral short dramas and videos.

Not only did he transfer people from Tencent Entertainment, he also transferred one-third of the short video writers from Xinteng Live to Guangdong.

Now that the group has developed to this point, if we have any good ideas, we can immediately deploy a team to implement them.

He believes this will be the next big thing in the video industry, something that hasn't happened in the market yet.

Let's send a team to research, explore, and get started.

As long as the direction is right, you will definitely make money.

Once short dramas truly take off, Tencent Video's market value will also rise steadily.

Its market value might reach hundreds of billions.

It can only be said that we are at the forefront of this era, and everyone has to adapt to the times and change accordingly.

He is also included.

……

Guangdong, Baiyun.

The 28-story headquarters building soars into the clouds.

It is June now.

More than a month has passed since Tencent Film Group dispatched its team to establish a new headquarters building in Guangdong.

The efficiency of large corporations is astonishing, except for Teng Hui Department Store, which has its headquarters in Guangdong.

Influential conglomerates such as Tengying, Deer Antler Coffee, and Bobo Milk Tea have all transferred their teams to establish corporate branches here.

The once empty Grade A office building now houses over 3,000 employees in less than a month. And it continues to recruit new staff.

Chen Pingsheng came to Guangdong not only to check on the group's current development there, but also to...

I mainly want to learn about the battery companies here, including the lithium mining industry.

In the past two years, thanks to the country's strong support for new energy, these two upstream industries of new energy have also grown vigorously.

Baiyun Headquarters, Top Floor.

Guangdong only has summer, no spring, winter, or autumn.

Wearing the same T-shirt, boxer shorts, and flat sandals all year round, this is probably the best outfit for wealthy people in Guangdong.

The low profile of wealthy people is well-known in Guangdong.

Chen Pingsheng's favorite place at the Baiyun headquarters was its top floor, which had a huge rooftop swimming pool.

Swimming here not only provides exercise, but also offers a panoramic view of most of Baiyun Mountain.

"Chen Pingsheng, aren't you going to swim?"

Yang Mi was filming in Guangdong when she heard that Chen Pingsheng was coming, so she rushed over.

This woman has a great figure, with a small waist and a perky bottom.

I only discovered this after arriving here that there is such a wonderful rooftop swimming pool.

I have to take a swim.

"I'm a married man, and I'm traveling with a big star like you. What would it look like if we got photographed like that?"

"Tch..." Yang Mi gave him a charming glare. "You're kidding me. With your current influence in the entertainment industry, which paparazzi would dare to photograph you? I heard from people in the company that you're thinking of making short dramas again. How about I help you film one first?"

"What are you filming? A love story between a big star and a security guard living together?"

Chen Pingsheng tossed her a white towel. "Forget about it. Short dramas are low-budget. They won't hire any big stars. The cost of making one short drama might not even be enough to buy the bikini you're wearing."

"Can you make money from this?"

Yang Mi openly displayed her impressive figure in front of him.

Everyone knows that the group's big boss is a serious man. No matter how beautiful you are, he won't have too many thoughts about you if you're with him.

Yang Mi refused to believe it, saying, "My bikini has drawstrings, and a set only costs seventy or eighty thousand. You wouldn't invest over a hundred thousand in a short drama? How can this be watchable?"

"I don't know if it will be watchable, but if you, Yang Mi, were to make a cohabitation action movie, I'm sure a lot of people would watch it."

"Tch... I would never take on a project with an investment of less than 100 million."

Yang Mi climbed out of the pool, put on sunglasses, and comfortably lay down on the sun lounger next to him.

"It wasn't originally intended for a big star like you."

Yang Mi asked him, "Is the 'Dream Record' you prepared for Liu Yifei almost finished filming? Let's play King of Glory together after she finishes filming."

"Can't you do something productive instead of playing King of Glory!"

Chen Pingsheng had no idea what this woman was thinking. After cashing out a large sum of money, she wasn't as diligent as before.

Take a break when you need to, and go wherever you want to have fun.

Life was pretty carefree and comfortable.

Yang Mi turned around and took off her large sunglasses, which were placed on the bridge of her nose. "Old Chen, you're a good person in every way, but your company has developed too fast. I've only been with you for a short time, and I'm already financially independent and have become the richest female celebrity in the entertainment industry."

"I don't want to work so hard anymore. Anyway, as long as you, Old Chen, give me a task, I will do my best to complete it. When your Tengying Entertainment reaches a market value of 100 billion, I will be the Yang family."

"I'm coming clean."

Yang Mi laughed exaggeratedly and foolishly.

She probably doesn't realize just how exaggerated her two balls really are.

In fact, when that time really comes, she won't be so tired anymore.

"I can't follow your example. You're already so rich, yet you still insist on getting into new energy. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Yang Mi sipped her chrysanthemum tea and said, "Once your car is ready, I'll drive it around every day. Old Chen, you have to work hard and strive to make the group bigger and stronger as soon as possible, and create new glories."

This sounds weird.

It's as if he's the one who's just a wage earner.

When Yang Mi got up to change her clothes, Chen Pingsheng kicked her in the butt without saying a word.

They kicked her back into the large swimming pool.

My wife, Song Yanxi, isn't around, and I haven't been able to process the feeling properly since I got pregnant.

Very uncomfortable.

Yang Mi screamed twice, but not angry at all, she climbed back up from the edge of the pool.
