The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

They drank until 10 p.m. before going home.

Because the next day was the weekend, the two little ones at home were still awake.

Chen Pingsheng intended to arrange for Da Pi Wa and Er Pi Ya to come to Guangdong to learn Cantonese, but the two of them ended up doing something quite different.

When Erpi heard someone in the class speaking Cantonese, she went over to teach her Mandarin.

That girl is even more outrageous. Chinese people should speak Mandarin. This girl's "plastic Mandarin" is ridiculous.

It's been almost twenty days, and the only Cantonese the two sisters have learned is... puk gai.

"Chen An'an, why don't you check the time?"

"I checked, it's only ten o'clock."

"It's time to rest."

"A little bit later, please."

Chen An'an was still watching short videos on her computer, while Erpiya was swimming in the outdoor pool.

"Dad, it's the weekend tomorrow, do you want to go out and have some fun together?"

"I have to visit the battery factory tomorrow morning, so I won't have time until the afternoon."

"Oh, then I'll wait until you're free this afternoon."

Not knowing what she was up to, Chen Pingsheng drove the Cullinan to Tengde Times the next day, mainly to see the technological advancements there.

A large group of battery experts gathered around and used a lot of technical terms.

He couldn't understand much of what he was saying.

While technology isn't his forte, he's certainly good at grasping investment trends.

After listening to the report for more than four hours, he felt more confident before leaving.

In another six months, Tengfei New Energy's cars will be released.

He will have a tough battle with many outstanding entrepreneurs, so he shouldn't be underestimated.

However, good news came from Hong Kong at noon: Guazi Used Cars successfully completed its IPO with a valuation of 120 billion.

After deducting his initial personal investment of 2 billion, and after cashing out 30% of the shares in this IPO, he still has 16 billion left that can be subject to random growth.

The amount wasn't too large, so he rolled the golden dice in the car.

The resulting multiple is "4".

Adding the principal of 36 billion that was cashed out, the total comes to 10 billion, which is exactly a round number.

Before Chen Pingsheng could even feel happy, while waiting at a red light, his car was hit in the back by someone with a "bang".

Who was so careless as to crash into the Cullinan?

Chen Pingsheng stopped to take a look and found that it wasn't hit by a car, but by a young food delivery guy in a hurry.

Look, that delivery guy is almost in tears, squatting on the ground, not knowing what to do.

This is life.

A large group of people immediately gathered around, some even taking out their phones to take pictures.

Chen Pingsheng asked the delivery guy, "Are you alright?"

"I, I'm fine, it's just you..."

"I'm fine. You should get up. It's not good for a grown man to squat on the street."

There's a small dent on the back of the car. If we take it back to the factory for repainting, it'll cost tens of thousands of yuan.

However, such a small mark is not a big deal and will not affect the usual driving experience.

Not only did he not make the delivery guy pay him back, he also helped the person right the electric scooter before leaving.

It was already 1 p.m. when they got back. Shen Youwei had cooked a few dishes at home.

After having a simple meal at home, Chen An'an and Erpiya waited patiently for him to return.

"Old Bean."

"What are you doing?"

"You said yesterday that you would take us out to play in the afternoon."

"Oh... something happened on the way, I almost forgot, you two pack up and go now."

Big Paw and Little Paw happily took a few small things.

They come to Shenzhen very rarely. If you ask what's fun to do here, there's a ton of stuff.

The key is to have money.

Chen Pingsheng took the two girls to the aquarium. Erpiya had a great time, and Chen An'an also started to enjoy taking photos everywhere.

All he can do as a father is to record every happy moment for his daughter. So that she can look back on them as memories when she grows up.

"Dad, I'll take some pictures with you too."

Chen Pingsheng gave the little dolphin a "Yes" sign, only to be rejected by Chen An'an.

He said he doesn't know how to pose at all.

He's this age, how could he still strike those exaggerated poses that young people like?

"Dad, why don't you hold your little sister and take a picture too!"

This one works too. The little girl, who was acting as a junior leader with her hands behind her back, was hooked up and pulled into his arms.

She will be four years old in two months.

Even she, as the older sister, felt that time was passing by so quickly.

The family of three took photos everywhere, and by the time they got home it was already 7 p.m.

I didn't buy anything, just wandered around and took some photos.

Having just acquired a large sum of money, Chen Pingsheng naturally needed to make reasonable arrangements.

As planned, he first made a call to the overseas investment department.

After learning that Tesla's market value had risen to $710 billion, they were not scared off by the high market value.

Instead, they set aside $800 million to purchase another 1% of the total share capital from the secondary market.

His earliest Tesla stock purchase was worth $35 billion, less than $40 billion.

His investment doubled in just one year, so it's clear he made a considerable profit.

Now, if we invest another 5 billion, let's see if it doubles in a few years.

The big kid even thoughtfully brewed him a pot of tea and then quietly watched him trade stocks.

Seriously speaking, it's very difficult to win in the stock market without being a market manipulator.

He only invests in long-term stocks and doesn't consider short-term investments.

"Dad, can I learn to trade stocks too?"

"What, you want to learn how to make money work for you?"

"No, I just want to learn more money-making skills from you!"

After checking the stocks he held, Chen Pingsheng turned off his computer.

"You could definitely learn more about this, but I haven't asked you yet, how much of that 200 million in pocket money do you still have?"

"I haven't found a suitable opportunity to spend it yet."

Thinking about this, Chen An'an began to feel dejected. Not only did she not have to make money, but even spending money had become a difficult task.

"Okay, then I'll open an account for you so you can learn to trade stocks on your own."

The little girl is too young; she can only drive under her mother Song Yanxi's name.

It's good to let her learn to trade stocks at such a young age. It doesn't matter if she makes money or loses money, since she only has two small goals to achieve each year anyway.

Consider it a chance for her to gain experience.

The little guy was quite excited, dreaming of making hundreds of millions in the stock market at such a young age.

Her little dream can only remain a fantasy.

Erpiya also quietly ran in, "Dad, I heard what you and my sister were saying just now."

"and then?"

"I also want 200 million in pocket money every year."

"I'll give you two lollipops. At your age, if I gave you two hundred million in pocket money, could you even fit it in your pants?"

Erpiya's little hands were rummaging around, and she was very familiar with what two hundred million was.

Anyway, once she gets it, she'll become the most dazzling girl in the class.

She didn't care; she wanted everything her sister had.

Okay, usually at times like this, she'd get to experience her sister's fist, which's as big as a clay pot.

If she's disobedient at such a young age, won't she be suppressed by her older sister's bloodline?

Actually, there's no favoritism involved at all. When Erpiya reaches her sister's age...

It will have all the basic features you'd expect.

As for now, a beating will keep her quiet for a long time.
