The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

end of February.

Tencent Entertainment has just finished holding a grand Tencent Grand Concert in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

The online discussion remains high.

The topic of Tencent Video has consistently topped the charts, signaling the arrival of the short video era.

News about entrepreneurs is also emerging frequently.

Various financial bloggers and knowledge broadcasters are rapidly emerging online.

And everything about Tengying is slowly coming to light.

Unfortunately, Chen Pingsheng went abroad and didn't pay much attention to domestic financial news.

He didn't return until the end of February.

He spent over 10 billion on a trip abroad and still came back with 700-800 million US dollars left.

and.

The collateral that was bought back from Huang Zhongshi at a low price has found buyers after more than half a month of transfer.

It was sold for 48 billion, and his family's income really comes from all directions.

Zhang Wanyi was left in Manhattan by him, mainly to wait for the price of Deer Antler Coffee to fall below the issue price, and then conveniently buy back the 15% of shares he had sold at a low price.

Shanghai is still very prosperous, but it doesn't have the same significant impact on the global economy as Wall Street.

My little one is almost three years old, and she still spends all her time chasing after the little fat chickens we raise.

These hobbies are truly something else.

His wife, Michelle Song, is showing signs of pregnancy again, and they even secretly went to the hospital to find out if it's a boy or a girl.

The doctor said there was a 90% chance it was a boy, which made Liu Fen extremely happy.

She practically set off firecrackers and gongs all over the house, and every few days she would invite her relatives from the Liu family over to celebrate.

They also called the elderly woman, Peng Ying, back from Wangcun.

It's understandable that they're so happy at their age. In the past, if a wife couldn't give birth to a son, she had no status in the family.

In more traditional rural areas, people would often be verbally abused and pointed at, and that's no exaggeration.

The main reason is that my daughter's conditions are just too amazing.

They can easily outmaneuver ordinary billionaires and still make the news every day.

If she goes out and says "I am Chen Pingsheng, my son-in-law," everyone will want her to be in the center position.

Respectfully address her as Aunt Liu.

If a family like this doesn't have a son, the Chen family might be out of the picture in a few decades.

Giving all the little things to the son-in-law's side, even a dog wouldn't understand.

Liu Fen had lost all hope. She didn't even care what kind of boyfriend her youngest daughter found. She only prayed that God would bless her eldest daughter so that she would get a boy.

This is a very important matter of continuing the family line; it cannot be taken lightly.

Thank goodness, the third child is finally a boy. The doctor said there's a 90% chance, so it's basically confirmed.

Liu Fen hosted a banquet at her home in a French-style villa in Shanghai's Tan Palace, which spans over 2,000 square meters.

Even if dozens of people come to my house, it won't feel crowded at all.

"Shuiqing, when are your parents coming?"

Their family moved from Beijing to Shanghai, but most of Lao Liu's relatives are still in Beijing.

A large portion of the younger generation came here because of the family's support fund.

As for the Song family's relatives, most of them, like the Chen family, live in Wangcun.

With these conditions, their relatives can live a glamorous life wherever they go.

"Aunt Liu will be here soon. I need to go to the airport to pick them up later."

"Where are you going? Just have the driver pick her up. You'll need to take care of your cousin when she gets back."

Alright... Song Shuiqing had no objections.

Aunt Liu was so happy about her cousin's pregnancy with a boy that she was completely overjoyed.

When Song Yanxi returned, it was already 11 a.m.

The house has been bustling with activity for quite some time now. When Song Yanxi met Liu Fen, she also mentioned that Song Wu had brought her boyfriend's parents.

The two families are about to formally begin discussing marriage, unlike Hu Lin's situation.

Song Wu's boyfriend did have some qualities; being a third-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry meant he wasn't from a family with nothing.

Compared to her family, they are just like any other local residents of Shanghai.

Song Wu's boyfriend, Yang Changwen, obediently withdrew from the entertainment industry after meeting Chen Pingsheng once.

He was initially somewhat reluctant, as his aunt was the most well-off relative in their family.

I scolded him all night.

Others might not know about Old Chen's family situation, but how could she, as the executive vice president of a real estate company, not know?

Being able to marry Old Chen's sister-in-law is a blessing from our ancestors.

When he returned, his aunt made him leave the entertainment industry.

What a joke! What wealthy family would want their members to be active in the entertainment industry all day long?

She knew Song Wu well; before her family became wealthy, she had studied at a film academy.

After that, I worked as an extra for more than a year, and I experienced all kinds of hardships.

It was only after she insisted that the Chen family started providing her with resources in the entertainment industry. Clearly, the Chen family didn't want their relative to be involved in the entertainment industry.

Even now, apart from people in the industry, everyone knows that she has an extremely powerful brother-in-law.

Outsiders had no idea that she was the sister-in-law of the owner of Tengying Group.

It's estimated that after marriage, she'll be forced by her sister to leave the entertainment industry and go straight into the business world.

For those wealthy families and business tycoons, no matter how famous they are, they are still just actors.

I can't get a seat at the head table for the big shots.

He only has one sister-in-law in his family, and it's impossible for him to keep watching her act in the entertainment industry.

After marrying her, he would then leverage the Chen family's immense influence in the business world.

Only a fool would continue to be a star if they had these advantages.

Do you really think being a celebrity is some amazing profession? That's only in the eyes of the average person.

Liu Fen was so happy that she didn't care much about the matter, and Song Yanxi arranged for them to sit at the table in the inner room.

A short while later, Chen Pingsheng returned home.

Song Shuiqing ran back and quietly reported to him what had happened during this period.

Because the grand concert became a huge hit online, countless audience members who attended the event took countless short videos and uploaded them online.

Each video often receives tens of thousands of likes.

The media reported on Tencent Entertainment Group for three consecutive days, which shows that Tencent Entertainment has really gone too far this time.

It wasn't just that half of the entertainment industry was mobilized; it was that celebrities from the entire entertainment industry, including those from Hong Kong and Taiwan, all came.

Have no idea.

Tencent Entertainment, formerly the second-largest player, first thoroughly defeated the largest player, Huayi Entertainment.

Huang Zhongshi is still barely clinging to life, looking like he's half-dead.

Another third-tier company, Hotvision Pictures, was affected by the Huateng battle, and Jia Yueting fled overseas.

I don't even know if I'll be able to go back to China next week.

Three entertainment industry giants fought to the bitter end, leaving only Tencent Entertainment.

In just a few months, it also led to the downfall of several top celebrities.

Now there's no need to consider taking sides anymore; Tengying Entertainment is going to hold a grand concert.

Everyone is signing up; there's no appearance fee involved.

Prove with your actions that you are on his side.

That's the advantage of being number one.

Such a massive concert featuring a host of stars was held simultaneously in four cities.

In the current entertainment industry, unless there's a major event like National Day, it's unlikely that...

Otherwise, only Tencent Entertainment could assemble this lineup.

The netizens were also shocked, which is why they kept searching for news about Tencent Entertainment on Baidu and other channels.

Thanks to Chen Pingsheng's positive influence, Tencent Entertainment is still an entertainment company with a very high reputation.

The Tencent Group behind it is even more renowned, having always been synonymous with a conscientious company.

Among the employees who left him online, very few speak ill of their former employer.

"Brother-in-law, you're going to be a sensation online!"

"That means it's not popular yet!"

"That was because my brother-in-law's PR team urgently removed all your trending topics."

Song Shuiqing felt a little regretful, but Chen Pingsheng patted her head and said, "Alright, it's not a good thing for an entrepreneur to be involved in entertainment news all the time."

"Yes."

Song Shuiqing also told him that Song Wu's boyfriend's parents had come.

Tell him to hurry inside and discuss the marriage proposal; there's really nothing to discuss.

After all, Yang Changwen wasn't exactly a great catch; the marriage resources his family could offer were only slightly better than those of the average family in Shanghai.

But we did our best.

Specifically, it's a house worth 30 million yuan paid in full and a Ferrari car.

Then there's a five million cash deposit.

This is their limit; they really don't have any more than that.

The two families were specifically discussing what would happen after they both retired from the entertainment industry.

Regarding how to enter the business world, Song Yanxi's idea was to give them a decent small company to start with.

Even Song Wu had no objection to this, since her sister had mentioned it to her many times.

Her sister simply wouldn't allow her to stay in the entertainment industry; she had to either quit or never accept any resources from the family again.

You can only choose one of the two.

I've been a celebrity for several years now, and I've seen everything I need to see.

Besides the fact that when you go out you'll be surrounded by a bunch of passersby asking for autographs and you'll enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention,

What’s the point?
Few people who are particularly fond of following celebrities are actually well-off.
