The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

November is just around the corner.

As the temperature in Shanghai turned cold, Song Yanxi, who had nothing to do and only had 200 million yuan left in her pocket, simply called her younger sister Song Wu, Chen Qi, and older sister Chen Yao to go shopping together.

She's still pretty relaxed now. Her mistress, Chen Lu, is being taken care of by his grandma and maternal grandma, while Chen An'an and Erpiya have to go to school during the day.

I only go home after school in the afternoon.

She often goes shopping with her relatives when she has nothing to do, but there's really nothing to buy since she has everything she needs at home.

Women, you know, they all like to go shopping when they have nothing to do.

The eldest sister, Chen Yao, used to be very frugal, but now she's doing much better. With the family's income increasing, they no longer need mortgage or car loan payments.

She's already driving a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, while Xiao Ping'an is driving a Lamborghini Urus.

Chen Qi is different; he has plenty of time but nothing else.

My sister-in-law used to be busy expanding Shuiyunjian every day, so she didn't have time to eat, drink, and have fun with this idle person.

Now that's good, Song Yanxi has some free time, and Shuiyunjian's expansion into eight cities has completely ended.

These women can live like wealthy Shanghai housewives, eating and drinking whatever they want, and going wherever they want whenever they want.

When it comes to men's watches and women's bags, women tend to prefer buying bags over various designer watches.

It was already noon when the four of them finished shopping at the mall. Song Yanxi even said that she planned to take An'an and the others on a trip to the sea during the winter vacation at the end of the year.

Her husband spent 12 billion to customize and produce a superyacht, which will arrive in port in December.

It took three years from design to completion of production.

This is nothing like those tiny superyachts worth 200 million yuan that are docked in Shanghai; this is a superyacht worth over 2 billion yuan.

With a total length of 114 meters and a height of five stories, this is truly the epitome of luxury.

This superyacht costs at least 50 million a year in berthing fees and various maintenance expenses.

In addition, we need to hire a professional crew team, as they can't operate the boat themselves.

In addition, the super helicopter that Chen Pingsheng had parked on the rooftop in Guangdong was also prepared to be flown onto this superyacht.

There are two huge helipads on it.

Not only that, Song Yanxi also plans to bring a Shuiyunjian team to the ship so that when they go on a sea trip, they can have a spa treatment whenever they want. How pleasant that life would be!

If that's not enough, she also ordered six MANSORY Jet Ski jet skis from overseas.

The price isn't too high, just $200,000 a unit, specifically for water drifting.

This jet ski is incredibly fast; both Chen An'an and Er Pi Ya would definitely love it.

Chen Qi was stunned. It turned out that her brother had really built a mobile castle at sea.

At that time, she only heard Chen An'an say that when she grew up, she would get a super-large yacht and take a global sea trip.

She thought it was just talk, but she didn't expect him to actually buy it.

Moreover, it was about to reach Hong Kong's largest port of call.

The difference between a truly wealthy family and a fake one often lies in these kinds of things.

Those who can spend billions to play with superyachts are undoubtedly among the extremely wealthy.

This kind of thing can only be played a few times a year, but it costs nearly 100 million yuan to maintain each year. How can the average rich person afford to play it?

But I'm still really looking forward to it, though.

That's the freedom that comes with having money: you only need to consider whether you like it or not, and you don't need to think about cost-effectiveness at all.

"Sister-in-law, does my brother spend money like this nowadays?" Chen Qi asked curiously.

Song Yanxi laughed and said, "How your brother spends his money is his own business, I won't interfere."

"Okay, my brother is living a bit too extravagantly now."

Chen Qi chuckled, "Even a little bit of milk leaking from between my brother's fingers is enough for all of us to enjoy every day. When he gets a few more apartments in Hong Kong, remember to give me one to live in!"

"If you want a house in Hong Kong, just tell your brother!"

Song Yanxi took a sip of coffee. "Besides our own villa on Barker Road in Hong Kong, we also have an empty villa on Mount Kellett Road."

"The only remaining property is a large penthouse in Victoria Harbour that we'll buy for An'an when she grows up. If you go to Hong Kong often, you can live in that apartment. An'an herself doesn't need a house."

"Really, that's great."

Chen Qi still wants to visit Hong Kong often. At least, according to her aunt, her brother will definitely go to Hong Kong during the winter vacation in January and take the whole family on a trip.

"It's nothing serious, why would I lie to you?"

Song Yanxi is very generous, at least more so to Chen Qi than to anyone else. Chen Qi is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the opening of Shuiyunjian.

Back then, she summoned a large group of people from Shacheng, and that's how Shuiyunjian came to be.

One house is nothing; if your stocks rise even slightly, you can own several houses.

Soon after, Song Shuiqing arrived as well; she and Tang Li came together.

Although Tang Li is also a second-generation rich kid, he may have some minor flaws, such as being a mama's boy.

But he doesn't have some of the common problems of rich kids; at least he's not a womanizer at all.

After studying abroad for so many years, I only dated one foreign girl.

Later, he realized he couldn't handle foreign women because they weren't the right size, so he found a female student who had come from China to study abroad.

Tang's mother told him he had to return to China after graduation, but the female student was unwilling to come back.

We broke up after graduation.

I've only dated one woman since I got to China. She's definitely beautiful and a print model.

It's one thing for this kind of woman to date, but bringing her home is something Tang's mother definitely wouldn't agree to.

Later, through Song Yanxi's introduction, I met the current Song Shuiqing.

Many rich kids are like this: when you're dating, your parents don't really care about the girl's background or family history.

But if you want to get married, then that's definitely not an option.

Tang Lina came with Song Shuiqing, and Zhang Sitong arrived later.

Her husband, Song Jun, is definitely a good cook, but he's not a smooth talker.

Whether it's a family gathering or just casual socializing, Zhang Sitong is always the one who steps up.

As for Yang Kang, the son of the younger sister's family, he and Zhou Ziyi have a good relationship.

Yang Kang didn't go to university; he started working outside after high school and endured hardship for several years, knowing how difficult it is to earn money.

Later, with the help of the family foundation, he started some small businesses in Shanghai.

The main thing is to open a store on Pinduoduo.

Unlike Peng Yu, who aspires to become the king of adult toys in China, he sells legitimate products.

When these people have a meal together, no matter where they are, as long as their cars are parked there, you can basically tell that it's a gathering of wealthy people.

I originally just wanted to have a simple stroll around town, but it changed when there were so many people.

Chen Qi even took the initiative to ask Chen Tan about the reason for her breakup with Meng Yuanyuan.

Song Yanxi gave a brief explanation and then didn't want to say anything more.

The gist of it is that Chen Tan's mother hopes that Chen Pingsheng can give Chen Tan at least 50 million for his wedding.

In addition, they hoped that Meng Yuanyuan's parents could buy a separate house for her second aunt and second uncle.

Even this would scare any normal woman away.

Such a logical story would be quite inspiring if applied to a workplace setting.

For example, I would like to apply for the position of CEO of Tencent.

I went to Ma Huateng and told him that I was Teacher Ma's son-in-law.

Then tell Mr. Ma, "I am the CEO of Tencent, and I want to marry your daughter."

Then tell Tiandi Bank, "I am the CEO of Tencent, and also Mr. Ma's son-in-law."

I hope you can be sensible and give me the position of president of a national bank.

Isn't this exactly the situation Chen Tan's family is in now?
Taking advantage of the Chen family's reputation, he didn't want to spend a single penny; he wanted to benefit from both sides.

That's impossible!
His situation was completely different from Song Shuiqing's; Song Shuiqing gave him 100 million yuan to establish an internet celebrity agency.

The Tang family immediately paid 50 million, and will pay at least 80 million more in betrothal gifts to marry Song Shuiqing.

All of this money was handed over to Song Shuiqing himself.

That makes a big difference.

Moreover, after Song Shuiqing made money from this internet economy company, he still had to repay the principal of 100 million yuan.

There's absolutely no loss here! (End of Chapter)
