The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

"I have some things to take care of at home, Xiaolan, you should go back first."

"this…"

Chen Pingsheng asked the outsiders to leave first before dealing with his own family matters.

Yang Xiaolan originally wanted to explain that none of this had anything to do with her.

After meeting Chen Pingsheng's gaze, he immediately left, knowing better than to do so.

All I can say is that damned Hu Shengtian; the deal was almost in his hands, but now it's definitely off.

She went back to the company to wait for further notice. As she left, Yang Xiaolan gave Hu Shengtian a meaningful look.

It's normal for the second-generation boss to vent his anger on him.

He brought over tea worth tens of millions of yuan, intending to take this opportunity to improve his relationship with Tengying Group.

In the future, we can not only collaborate on advertising, but also cross over to other industries.

Now it's even worse, it's as yellow as it gets.

Yang Xiaolan never expected that such a great opportunity would be ruined by her subordinate's family affairs.

Hu Lele was slapped, someone like her who was full of superiority.

That only applies to people from other places or those who are not as good as her.

Generally, such people tend to behave like a groveling lapdog when they are in front of higher-level circles.

Those who can afford to live in the Tan Palace are definitely not comparable to their family.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The old lady also came over, and she talked about how she was humiliated ten years ago when they stopped her from entering the house.

Actually, the two families are related, and the kind of close relatives at that.

It's perfectly fine to call them close relatives, after all, they are sisters.

In a way, Hu Lele should call him cousin.

Over the years, Chen Pingsheng has helped many relatives, but he has also blacklisted some of them.

As for Hu Lele's cousin, since she's a relative she's never met since childhood, she's no longer considered a relative.

Chen Pingsheng was too lazy to deal with such matters. Peng Qing was the old lady's younger sister, and someone he had to call "aunt."

Although I've lived in Shanghai all these years, my life is not as good as those who married into rural areas.

This is perhaps the ultimate fate of most women who are single-mindedly focused on marrying into a wealthy or powerful family.

She would never be respected by the man.

Now that he's getting old and his children are so filial, what will become of him?

It all depends on how the old lady treats her.

As expected, Hu Shengtian received a call from Yang Xiaolan after leaving the area.

Grab your things and get out of here immediately.

Forget about subsidies; if we're going to talk about it, we should first discuss the actual losses he caused to the company.

Hu Shengtian lost his job with a monthly salary of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan just like that, and he didn't dare to utter a single boastful word.

He's not stupid; he knows perfectly well that if the boss didn't have his involvement, it's obvious the deal is already in his hands.

It's already a good thing that they only fired him and didn't make him pay compensation.

They were even thinking of suing the companies owned by the top second-generation elites, but they wouldn't win.

When you have no money or power, the law will not be on your side.

Take Chen An'an, for example; she also helped elderly people in Beijing.

After kindly taking the person to the hospital, he turned around and demanded compensation from her.

Chen An'an thought she had done a good deed and eagerly returned home to ask her father for praise, but this was all she got.

She was irritable and furious all night.

What happened next?
Forget about medical expenses, all of the old lady's relatives in Beijing were laid off on the same day.

She herself became a notorious extortionist old woman on that street.

Other children would spit on her when they saw her, and even the hospital kicked her out early.

The judge didn't even have the right to ask Chen An'an, "If you didn't hit her, why did you help her up?"
The old woman's own relatives wanted to verbally abuse her to death in the street.

Therefore, when it comes to helping someone, there are never any stories about rich kids being exposed or anything like that.

If you try to extort money from a rich person, your whole family will suffer.

There is absolutely no way we will receive a single penny in compensation.

The situation is the same for Hu Shengtian. According to normal procedures, if someone in his position is dismissed, he will definitely have to pay N+1 in compensation.

You'll receive at least six months' salary.

In the past, if his wife and her family had suffered such a terrible ordeal, he would have definitely taken action when he got home.

Even if he had three times the courage, he wouldn't dare. In this society, the poor can't fight the rich. Their family has a little money, but compared to Teng Ying, they're as weak as ants.

With a single kick, they could easily send him to jail for a few months.

Do you think it needs to be illegal?

No need. You can find evidence of his soliciting prostitution with just a little money and a few clicks.

How can you fight against a group that can investigate you thoroughly with a mere flick of its wrist?

If Hu Shengtian knew he had such a powerful nephew, he would have treated Peng Qing like royalty all these years, let alone beaten her up.

Therefore, if you want to marry well and live a good life, the strength of your wife's family is crucial.

In the TV series "In the Name of the People," Zhong Xiaoai is a typical example.

If you dare disobey, you'll lose everything in no time.

……

Villas in Shanghai.

My wife, Song Yanxi, heard about this melodramatic drama as soon as she got back. How is the situation now?
Aside from Chen An'an talking excitedly and animatedly, it seemed her husband didn't want to bring up the matter.

It's even more impossible for them to acknowledge this relative again.

Song Yanxi didn't bother to pay attention and got back to business.

"Honey, after the first batch of students graduated from Shuiyun Academy, do you know how many people applied online?"

Shuiyunjian reopened its biennial enrollment channel as early as June.

"How much? Can it be tens of thousands?"

"It's not just tens of thousands, it's over 100,000 in twenty days."

Song Yanxi showed him the registration data from Shuiyunjian headquarters, "A large portion of them were introduced by these internal employees, either from the same village or related by blood. You know, we only recruit a total of 1,000 people, and the number of applicants is so high that I don't know what to do."

Shuiyunjian will probably only open between thirty and thirty-five branches in first-tier cities.

Each store will only have about forty to forty-five beauticians, including management.

The trainees we are recruiting now are to prepare for expanding to Guangzhou and opening stores in Shenzhen two years from now.

Chen Pingsheng thought for a moment and said, "This should be considered a good thing!"

"It's definitely a good thing."

Song Yanxi said, "Honey, look, most shops in this industry are short of staff, especially excellent beauticians. Only our family is never short of staff. Even the most capable managers outside have to undergo six months of training before they can join. Now, more than 100,000 people want to join our platform. I feel that if I train all these people well, I can lead them to unify the beauty industry."

Song Yanxi was so aggressive, acting like Dongfang Bubai, which Chen Pingsheng found somewhat amusing.

"This matter needs further planning."

Chen Pingsheng told her to calm down first, "Don't rush to refuse. The future of the beauty and wellness market is definitely promising. At present, Shuiyunjian is only conquering the highest-end market. Below that, there are high-end, mid-to-high-end markets with a wider audience."

"If we can seize this opportunity, we might be able to break into the mid-to-high-end market of the beauty industry in one fell swoop."

"What do you mean, honey?" Song Yanxi's eyes lit up, clearly very interested.

"Didn't you say that most stores are short-staffed?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "We can leverage Shuiyunjian's brand influence and then directly cooperate with those small beauty chains by providing talent and management support. In this way, we can definitely expand Shuiyunjian to the whole country very quickly."

After giving her a quick kiss, Song Yanxi exclaimed excitedly, "Honey, you're so smart! This method will definitely work!"

"Don't get too excited. If we recruit 100,000 people and pay them 3,000 a month, that's 300 million. Who can afford that?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "Let's recruit 10,000 first. Subsidizing more than 700 million over two years shouldn't be a problem. After two years, we can invest 2 billion in Guangzhou and Shenzhen to open 60 to 70 top-tier beauty salons."

“The top luxury brand Shuiyunjian cannot be used to target the mid-to-low-end market.”

With a wave of his hand, Chen Pingsheng further determined the future development of Shuiyunjian.

He needs to work hard to make money now.

Unfortunately, he entered the technology field too late and had to invest a massive amount of money to have any hope of surpassing his competitors.

To reach his level, there is absolutely no question of using a small investment to achieve a large return.

The right way to leverage capital is to sweep across the entire industry like a behemoth.

No matter how talented you are, he has plenty of resources to crush you.

This is his true situation right now.

Deeply rooted in traditional industries, venturing into the technology sector.

This is also the true vision for the future of Tencent Film Group.

He has so much more to do, but he can only take it one step at a time.

Fat people are never made overnight.

His situation is the same now; the larger the group, the more cautious one needs to be.
