The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chen An'an was very happy.

In the end, it was her father who fulfilled her great charitable wish.

Chen Pingsheng was also quite pleased that she had such kindness.

However, he also invited Gao Hu and Chang Fu to his home in the afternoon to discuss some matters.

I don't have time to play with my little one anymore.

It will take at least two months to build a super restaurant; it won't be that quick.

Perhaps the restaurant will be able to open by the time the kids start their winter break.

This is also their family's first charitable undertaking in Hong Kong, and it is quite meaningful, if we must say so.

Gao Hu bought a 1,000-square-foot mansion here, which is roughly equivalent to a 100-square-meter three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in mainland China.

The final price was over 40 million yuan. Changfu bought a slightly larger one, which was still less than 200 square meters.

With a net worth of several hundred million, all they can afford here is a thousand-square-foot mansion.

Both of them brought their wives with them. Chen Pingsheng was in a good mood and talked to Gao Hu about the Super Restaurant.

Gao Hu said, "Old Chen, you're spoiling your daughter way too much! If she keeps doing this, you'll be throwing away tens of millions of yuan every year!"

"Money is not the issue; the key is that she needs to have good values."

Gao Hu's wife, Xiao Chun, is still pregnant, and Chang Fujia's son is only a few months old.

They can't raise children like he does.

The Super Restaurant project can be left to Gao Hu; he only needs to invest the money and doesn't need to worry about anything else.

As for Chang Fu's visit this time, it was still to discuss live-streaming e-commerce on Douyin.

Douyin was only launched on the 20th of last month, and its user base is still far behind Kuaishou.

It's clearly too early to start selling products now; the timing isn't right.

In July, Chen Pingsheng invested 100 million yuan in his old classmate Yao Anni. Yao Anni followed his advice and closed five physical clothing stores in Hangzhou, and opened a cloud clothing warehouse specifically for online sales.

We will make every effort to develop online live-streaming sales of clothing.

She also recruited more than twenty female anchors at once, and she has been frequently consulting with Chang Fu in the past few months.

This former top female student has worked incredibly hard.

"Old Chen, our classmate Yao has been praising you to the skies in the class group. If you were to go out and call for a class reunion now, you'd probably be surrounded by crowds."

Chen Pingsheng put down his teacup. "There's no such thing as divine intervention. It's just that she caught a bit of a lucky break. I haven't looked into Yao Anni since she invested 100 million. How is she doing now?"

"Of course you can."

Chang Fu said, "Investing 100 million in her was definitely the right decision. She has ten years of experience in physical clothing and is located in Hangzhou, the most developed e-commerce hub. She borrowed several female live streamers with millions of followers from me and is doing both on Kuaishou and Douyin. I won't go into Douyin, but Kuaishou is doing quite well."

Chen Pingsheng wasn't surprised; Yao Anni was quite intelligent.

"The future development of live-streaming e-commerce is likely to become more and more segmented. We won't talk about the super big streamers, but it's best for smaller streamers to specialize in a single area of ​​live-streaming e-commerce and build their core advantages in that area in order to go further in the future."

Xinteng Live already has thousands of female streamers, and its early aggressive expansion is now a thing of the past.

The focus now should be on long-term development.

These livestreamers are categorized into different sub-sectors to create professional sales personas.

It can be said to be very crucial.

I want to be able to sell everything across all regions.

Only streamers with tens of millions of views have this kind of influence.

With the opening of Xiangjiang Teng Hui Department Store and the establishment of the Global Selection Team, this step has become inevitable.

It's obvious that Yao Anni's team is specifically dedicated to selling clothing products through live streaming.

Once you manage to get out, the income can be very high.

Chen Pingsheng chatted with them for a while longer. Chang Fu was even more ambitious; he wanted to directly train internet celebrities from Tencent Film Academy.

This is unnecessary, at least for now.

Besides teaching acting, they're also filming all sorts of short dramas over there.

Short dramas could be quite profitable.

Those who succeed in the short drama field don't need any training; they're already internet celebrities. With their current resources, cultivating another internet celebrity would be incredibly easy for them.

Chen Pingsheng would never bother with such matters.

When Song Yanxi returned, he happily chatted with his wife about Da Pi Wa's act of loyalty.

He saw this as a good thing no matter what, and couldn't help but want to share it with his wife.

When An'an grows up, she may indeed be able to inherit the family business.

Who knows, she might become a powerful female CEO.

To be honest, he was actually looking forward to that day.

Upon hearing this, Song Yanxi immediately went to find Big Paw.

Chen An'an was still sleeping with her chubby aunt here, wanting to hear more stories about the survival of people at the bottom of society.

Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying were also here. Her house wasn't too big; it had three floors, with several large rooms on each floor.

It's spacious enough to house dozens of people, let alone Aunt Pang and her friends.

Song Yanxi is still polite; she knocks on the door before coming to her daughter's room.

Chen An'an jumped out of bed excitedly, opened the wooden door, and saw her mother outside.

"Mom, what brings you here?"

I came to see you.

Song Yanxi also brought some fruit, saying, "Your dad even praised you today."

"Why did Dad praise me?" Chen An'an asked, puzzled.

She said you're muddle-headed about small things, but very clear-headed about important things.

"Really?"

Chen An'an giggled and pulled her mother inside to sit down; she wanted to hear more of her father's praise.

"Mom, won't Dad really think I'm a spendthrift?"

"Of course not. Your dad has money, but he also wants to spend it reasonably. Your dad is very pleased that you are kind enough to think of using this money to improve the living conditions of those people."

Chen An'an hadn't received praise from her father in ages, so it would be a lie to say she wasn't happy when she suddenly heard it.

Song Yanxi then reminded her, "An'an, you must remember that your father is no ordinary person anymore; too many people want to see him."

"Countless people rely on him for their livelihood. You are his daughter, and you are destined to inherit the family business in the future. With such a father, you are destined to be extraordinary."

"If you want to, you can help thousands of people live better lives. Your dad is not young anymore. By the time you grow up, he will be almost fifty. At that time, you will not only need to know how to spend money, but also how to run a business and take on certain social responsibilities."

Saying such things to a nine-year-old girl might be a bit too early.

But as the family business grows larger, Chen An'an will eventually have to shoulder some responsibilities.

Chen An'an nodded vigorously. Although she would occasionally be mischievous in front of her father.

Ultimately, she still admires her father.

She listened attentively to what her father said.

Being born into a wealthy family isn't just about having a lot of money.

Ultimately, one still needs to learn how to be a small heir.

Song Yanxi touched her little head, wondering when it had started.

Her daughter is also one of the heirs.

It's not just about one generation building a wealthy family; it takes three generations of effort to truly establish that status.

These people living on the mountaintop actually all have a three-generation plan.

Their family definitely needs one too.

When they get old, it will be up to the next generation to take over the business.

At that point, whether Big Paw can stay and protect the child will be crucial.

Song Yanxi chuckled and gently patted her head, as tender as ever.
