The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

The old man passed away peacefully.

But there was still a lot of trouble after that. Neither his daughter nor his daughter-in-law could accept the will he made.

The funeral hadn't even started when the daughter and son got into a fight at the hospital entrance.

As for the rural nanny who received the old man's inheritance, she can only wait to be the defendant.

And so, a bloody family drama unfolded.

Aside from glancing at it twice after the old man left, Chen Pingsheng never looked in that direction again.

Out of sight, out of mind.

As for his wife, Song Yanxi, she has been busy organizing the grand night at Shuiyunjian.

I didn't have much affection for my maternal grandfather when I was young.

The main reason is that she didn't grow up in the capital. Her younger sister, Song Wu, cried quite sadly.

Chen Pingsheng stayed in Beijing for three days before leaving. As expected, the inheritance battle between the Liu family's children and the nanny made some social news.

It only circulated in a small area of ​​Beijing and did not appear on television or major internet news outlets.

If you have enough retirement money when you get old, most of your children will keep you on your feet.

If not, then this inheritance dispute will only get uglier and uglier.

Not to mention that many idle people in Beijing are gossiping, even the Liu family itself has quite a few people watching the show.

Back in Shanghai, Chen Pingsheng stopped caring about such things and decided to stay home during the three-day New Year's holiday.

It's quieter than anywhere else.

"Dad, let's go downstairs and buy some steamed buns!"

Chen An'an followed him downstairs, and Erpiya also came to catch up. In about half a month, the two little ones would be on winter vacation.

Time flies so fast.

On my way downstairs, I ran into that rich second-generation guy who stole my brother's girlfriend again.

He had been pursuing Shi Xiaoshan's girlfriend for quite some time, and Shen Bing was genuinely moved by his wealth.

You can't blame Shen Bing for this, since Shi Xiaoshan gave up first.

However, this guy wasn't very kind; he spoke in an arrogant and condescending manner.

The thing that the rich kids fear most is trying every means to prove themselves.

He's taking this step.

He took tens of millions of yuan from his family to start a bike-sharing business, and surprisingly, he really made it a success.

He's at least much more capable than my cousin who jumped off a building.

When Chen An'an saw him, she hummed twice, seemingly somewhat ashamed.

Erpiya, knowing nothing, just echoed her sister's nonsense.

We arrived at Lao Yang's steamed bun shop downstairs in the residential area.

Chen Pingsheng bought several packets of pickled vegetables, corn, and soy milk for his family's breakfast.

The Yang family has raised a fine son; after he got a wife, he pressured his parents relentlessly.

Not only did he empty his life savings, but he also borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Then, after making a down payment in Shanghai, I still had to verbally promise that I wouldn't live with my daughter-in-law after the wedding.

Wow, that's amazing! This wife he found is truly outrageous.

The elderly couple had to get up at one or two in the morning to start their business, and they wouldn't be able to close up shop until six in the afternoon.

He's spent his whole life running this little steamed bun shop.

I don't know what the point is of raising a child like that, or whether they'll regret it in the future.

Erpiya was filled with righteous indignation, and when she got home, she grabbed Chen Lu, the mistress, and beat him up.

He was sternly warned that he must be filial to his two older sisters when he grows up.

Poor Chen Lu, the mistress, has to be bullied by her two older sisters just because she has a son.

"Don't worry, Dad. I've already woken up the mistress. He definitely won't be a simp when he grows up."

Without saying a word, Chen Pingsheng smacked her on the back of the head as well, saying, "Who told you to hit him? He's only six months old."

"Isn't that a reminder that he should be filial when he grows up?"

"I've never seen you be filial."

Er Ya Tou has done a lot of outrageous things, and this isn't just one or two today.

Chen Pingsheng asked her, "I said you'll be starting kindergarten next year, why don't you just start first grade in September?"

We originally planned to let her attend kindergarten for two years, and then start first grade at age five.

Given her current situation, we need to move our plans forward.

"Good duck, good duck."

Erpiya was very excited, "As long as I learn fast enough, one day I can be classmates with my sister."

"You can pull it down!"

Chen Pingsheng ignored her and the family ate breakfast in the hall.

After eating, they decided to play rock-paper-scissors to see who could clean up first, and Erpiya lost. She started to act spoiled, lying flat on the sofa, feeling dizzy and sleepy.

Chen An'an kicked her little bottom; the only one in the family who could control her was her older sister.

The only one who could stop the mistress from crying would be her fierce and kind second sister.

The second daughter, looking utterly hopeless, started mopping the floor and cleaning, and it was quite comical that she was holding a tiny, trendy mop.

When she finally finished dragging it out, she saw the mistress biting her fingers and laughing.

I used to beat him until he cried.

After he cried and laughed, I picked him up and tossed him around a couple of times.

Isn't this how babies under six months old are raised?

"Dad, today is New Year's Day, don't we have any plans for the family?"

"There really is one."

Chen Pingsheng said, "We'll go to our own store later to experience it."

"Is this even considered an event?" Erpiya immediately objected.

"Of course it counts."

Chen Pingsheng went to change his shoes without paying attention to the fact that the company had undergone a large-scale renovation a while ago, and it's almost finished now. I'm going to go and check out the results on-site.

"Oh." The second girl didn't care whether she wanted to go or not.

Chen An'an was particularly happy to do so, and she changed her shoes with her father.

Er Yatou then realized, in a daze, that her opinion didn't matter at all.

He hummed twice and immediately got going.

Many large companies gave employees a holiday for New Year's Day, so there were a lot of people out shopping in Shanghai.

Chen Pingsheng habitually goes to practice himself, discovering problems in various stores or enterprises.

Sitting in the office all the time makes it easy to be misled by subordinates.

There's a huge Tenghui Department Store not far from their building, and he often goes there to buy groceries.

The service and setup were quite good.

The daily customer volume is also very large. As for places further away, there are also Deer Antler Coffee, Boiling Sheep Restaurant, Snack Run, etc.

Erpiya came to visit with a mission from her family; she was born to be beaten.

Once inside, without saying a word, I didn't want any medium, small, or large cups.

The waiter was dumbfounded.

"Little girl, what do you want?"

"I want an extra-large."

"We don't have that, we only have large and medium sizes."

"Then get me a bucket."

Erpiya wanted to treat her sister to a whole bucket of drinks, but her sister ruthlessly dragged her aside.

Chen Pingsheng simply called over a female waitress to ask.

I was incredibly nervous when I found out it was the big boss coming.

However, because the gap is so large, it allows for the telling of some truths.

The veteran executives at Deer Antler Coffee were fired more than just one or two, but frontline employees didn't feel it much.

However, income and benefits have indeed increased recently.

Many of the benefits for frontline employees are determined and implemented directly by the headquarters.

However, for various reasons, some people skimp on the profits at each stage.

The amount that actually reaches the frontline employees is relatively much less.

Just like the gifts and red envelopes that are given during Chinese New Year and other holidays.

The standard is to give 500 yuan in red envelopes for major holidays and purchase gifts at a standard of 300 yuan.

For minor holidays, give out 300 yuan in red envelopes and purchase gifts for 200 yuan per person.

Leaving aside the red envelope, this is something that cannot be faked, as it would be too easy to be caught.

But it's a different story when it comes to gifts; no one notices even if a large portion is deducted.

This alone, combined with the 30,000 to 40,000 frontline employees at Deer Antler Coffee, is a significant factor.

They can easily spend tens of millions on employee benefits every year.

This is just one aspect; other aspects include renovation, raw material procurement, etc.

Anyone who holds significant power finds it exceptionally easy to make money.

After dismissing a large number of veteran executives, the compensation for frontline employees has visibly increased significantly.

This is not because the group increased employee benefits; it's simply because they got rid of those who were greedy and demanding.

The benefits that were originally due to the employees have simply been returned to them.
