The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Yang Changwen is not worthy of pity.

If someone with that kind of wealth isn't strictly controlled, he'll squander all his assets.

However, Yang Changwen was, after all, Chen Pingsheng's brother-in-law.

To set up such a blatant scheme to cheat people shows that they completely disregard him.

He first called Peng Yu and Yang Kang over to learn more about the situation.

After Yang Changwen went out, he simply wanted to go to Hong Kong to look at houses.

The itinerary was changed after receiving a phone call.

The person who contacted him was a wealthy second-generation heir from Shanghai named He Jin.

He Jin has a huge reputation online and is even known as the "Emperor of Shanghai".

Yang Changwen was always very respectful to him, treating him like a loyal follower.

After He Jin took him onto the gambling ship, He Jin himself lost more than ten million in half an hour.

He made an excuse that he wasn't very lucky and didn't go to the VIP lounge.

He only introduced some people to Yang Changwen, and there were only six people playing at a long, semi-circular gambling table.

Yang Changwen may not know that he has been set up.

But Chen Pingsheng immediately understood that he found the so-called "Shanghai Emperor" somewhat laughable.

Does this guy even know how many big shots there are in Shanghai?

To dare use such a title to increase his mystique, he probably doesn't know the meaning of reverence at all.

Or perhaps they know, but are just like the so-called "Imperial Tutor," "Casino Prince," and "Top Sky Group" on the internet.

It's also a case of trying to attract attention.

He had heard of He Jin to some extent, but he couldn't remember who had mentioned him.

Make a call back to Shanghai and see what the He family is all about.

The message from Shanghai came quickly: He Jin is a second-generation rich kid, whose father also made his fortune in casinos.

He worked as a henchman and later booked several VIP rooms.

It's certain that they're wealthy, but the ways they make money are shady.

As for Ho Chun himself, he ostensibly ran an investment company, but in reality, he earned high returns by recruiting people to lose money in casinos.

For a deal like Yang Changwen's, one could get at least a 20% to 30% commission.

That adds up to tens of millions.

The information not only detailed He Jin's family, but also mentioned some of the things he had done in recent years.

Previously, many rich second-generation individuals were brought here by him and lost their family's billions in just six months.

Some even jumped off buildings.

These people rarely doubted He Jin, perhaps because they thought that a second-generation rich kid like him would disdain doing such a thing.

But the reality is quite the opposite.

He used the money others lost to maintain his online persona as a rich second-generation heir on par with Wang Yanfeng.

He kept attracting rich kids from small towns to his circle, and the result was just like Yang Changwen's.

There are different levels of rich kids, leaving aside the unspeakable ones.

Wang Yanfeng is definitely top-tier; after all, he was once at the top of the Forbes list.

The title of China's richest man is still very prestigious.

He Jin created a persona similar to his own online, which naturally attracted many wealthy second-generation individuals from smaller towns to join his circle.

As for someone like Yang Changwen, he's just a complete idiot.

If he had just asked a question, he wouldn't have had to lower himself to such a person.

Now that we know what the He family does, the rest is simple.

Chen Pingsheng didn't beat around the bush much; he directly asked He Jinlai to add to the explanation over the phone.

His father is at most a billionaire who can't be brought to light; there must be someone behind him.

Some were due to relationships, while others were because he had something on them.

He Jin is most famous online for what happened after his multi-million dollar sports car was hit, and he casually squatted down and played video games.

This is simply unbelievable to netizens, who are all calling him a super-rich "Shanghai Emperor." But for the truly wealthy, a sports car worth tens of millions is nothing.

He was certain that if Chen An'an grew up and crashed into a tree while driving the family's Bugatti, which was worth nearly 50 million yuan, he wouldn't even be able to file an insurance claim.

She'd definitely make a phone call and summon another Bugatti, then drive it away.

As for the car that was hit, someone will take care of it; it's nothing serious.

He Jin took this opportunity to exaggerate his influence online and create a persona of himself as the "Emperor of Shanghai".

Compared to those fake millionaires online, his family is definitely wealthy, but not as mysterious as outsiders imagine.

He Jin was actually quite dissatisfied, having finally caught Yang Changwen, this big fish.

The casino owner secretly sent him away, considering how high he went.

If you're willing to lend him money, he'll sign any agreement, no matter how high the price.

He Jin had his eye on Wenwu Media and originally wanted to invest in it.

Yang Changwen has no need for it at all, and Song Wu would never accept investment from outsiders.

He Jin could only wait for an opportunity, and it took more than a month before Yang Changwen finally came to Hong Kong.

He also arrived here from Shanghai ahead of time and made a phone call when he had some free time.

And then everything just fell into place naturally.

Even if Yang Changwen regained consciousness, he couldn't find a single fault with him.

Outsiders all thought he was a top-tier rich second-generation like Wang Yanfeng, but after a while, He Jin realized that Wang Yanfeng wasn't even worthy of being compared to him.

Who does he think he is? He makes a steady 700 to 800 million yuan a year by recruiting people to run a scam.

With this kind of income, several second-generation rich kids can't compare.

In less than ten years, he became far more powerful than his own father.

The only pity is that Yang Changwen got away this time. He was a big fish, and I estimate that he could have made at least five or six hundred million.

The 300 million figure only represents half of the expected amount.

He Jin hosted a gathering of many rich second-generation heirs at home, and also invited some young models to attend.

The most famous of them is a female member of a certain South Korean boy band.

For people as rich as them, the usual games are no longer exciting.

Swapping wives, especially with multiple partners, can bring him a different kind of feeling.

To maintain the stimulation, He Jin also inhaled something special.

He was shaking his head and seemed somewhat disoriented.

When He Jin received the call from his father, he immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "Who does that guy surnamed Chen think he is?"

Perhaps it was the old man's decision to send him to Barker Road that hurt his pride, because after saying just one sentence, Ho Chun smashed his phone.

Then he hugged the girl group member and danced wildly, taking the opportunity to strip her completely naked.

They completely disregarded the fact that there were still many men and women in the hall.

Anyway, once everyone gets into the swing of things, they'll all be surrounded by all sorts of beautiful women.

Whether in a corner or at a restaurant, they openly unleash their primal instincts.

That's just how most second-generation rich kids are. There aren't that many idiotic, infatuated, domineering CEOs. They're just fulfilling the fantasies of self-righteous little fairies.

Chen Pingsheng waited and waited, but He Jin didn't come. So he sent a message to his secretary, Zhang Wanyi.

Let this so-called online emperor of Shanghai see whether he can truly reign supreme in the city.

Some titles should never be casually bestowed. It's fine to take them as a joke, but if you actually take them seriously, then you'll truly become a laughing stock.

Song Yanxi, sitting to the side, asked, "Pingsheng, what are your plans to do about He Jin?"

"When have I ever needed to deal with these arrogant rich kids who don't know their place?"

After putting down his phone, Chen Pingsheng said, "Just watch. He's swindled so many second-generation rich kids before, there must be one or two who act impulsively. It's fine that his family has always been mysterious, but once it's exposed, no one will want to get on this lousy ship. They'll just run away as fast as they can."

Song Yanxi understood; her husband would definitely deal with He Jin, but he just wouldn't need to do it himself.

If you fan the flames, there will always be people who are so angry that they want to pay money to cancel their accounts.

There have always been people like this.
