The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Upon receiving the notification, Zhang Wanyi, the secretary, immediately arranged for a large number of online influencers to reveal the true face of He Jin, the so-called "Emperor of Shanghai," through a decryption-style approach.

The first big news of the new year has targeted the Ho family in Shanghai.

It wasn't any particularly sensational news, but it sparked countless sarcastic remarks online.

In terms of online traffic, it's not even as big a scoop as Wang Yanfeng finding a new internet celebrity girlfriend.

As it turns out, He Jin was still far inferior to the Wang family's son.

Chen Pingsheng didn't care about what happened next. Less than three days later, He Jin, who was having a wild time at the casino, was attacked by two masked men.

It wasn't too serious, just a broken leg and an arm.

Afterwards, the He family couldn't find anything about it, but the suspects were quite clear.

That was Chen Pingsheng.

If evidence is found, that's fine; if not, everyone will know that He Jinxian was the one who didn't know what was good for him and went to set up the Chen family.

There wasn't a single person who showed any sympathy.

If you dare to cheat others, you must be prepared to face retaliation.

Chen Pingsheng ended up taking the blame for someone else, who probably anticipated this and decided to send someone to make a move at this time.

The only suspect was him, which is why they acted decisively and promptly.

They neither took lives nor harmed He Jin, but left him disabled for life.

That's just right.

Chen Pingsheng didn't bother to explain; he had long expected this might happen.

After all, He Jin had offended too many people, so it was normal for him to be angry with one or two of them.

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

He took Chen An'an north to Beijing to visit some retired old men.

His itinerary was kept secret from everyone; all that was known was that he returned to Shanghai on the tenth day of the lunar month.

Then, let Tengying Group successfully take over his sister-in-law's Wenwu Media.

Yang Changwen, who had originally wanted to resist, felt both relieved and terrified after learning about He Jin's situation.

He almost instinctively believed that his ex-brother-in-law was the one who did it.

After all, only he could easily change the outside world's perception of the He family overnight.

Don't let his gentle demeanor fool you; if his family members are mistreated outside, he'll definitely stand up for them.

That's the advantage of staying with the Chen family—it gives you a great sense of security.

The only pity is that he got his revenge, but he can never go back to Old Chen's house.

Thinking of He Jin's miserable state, Yang Changwen signed the divorce agreement without any conditions.

Leaving him penniless was the last bit of mercy Song Wu showed him.

This also marks the end of that period of youthful recklessness.

After several years of entrepreneurship, the man she ultimately chose squandered all her money overnight.

Whose fault is it? She can't blame anyone.

Even Liu Fen, who had previously opposed her relationship with Yang Changwen, looked dejected as she watched her end the marriage in such a desolate manner.

However, Liu Fen still thought of something: Song Wu's eldest son, Yang Chaoqun.

He must change his name to Song Chaoqun.

The baby in her belly hasn't even been born yet, and her biological father is already gone. No matter what, in the end, it's usually the child who suffers when adults divorce.

With Song Wu in this state, her sister Song Yanxi naturally felt bad as well.

All we can do now is advise her to give birth to the child safely first, and then she can do whatever she wants later.

This time, Song Wu finally listened to advice and stayed home obediently, not wanting to go anywhere.

After Chen Pingsheng returned, he hadn't yet figured out how to deal with Wenwu Media.

Selling it to Tencent Media wouldn't make much sense.

They handed it over to Tencent Entertainment, which has its own influencer company.

After much deliberation, he decided to leave the company to his sister-in-law, Song Wu.

After all, it was something she worked hard to build up over several years. If it were to just disappear like this, it would be a great regret.

Perhaps after experiencing all this, this willful and spoiled sister-in-law will truly mature. In the future, she will be able to prioritize character when meeting people.

2018 has completely passed, and 2019 is destined to be extraordinary.

This may be the last vestige of prosperity, or it may be the beginning of a great upheaval.

After more than two months of commercial performances in various places, Tengyou Media, with the strong support of Guangzhou, has launched another project.

Finally, in mid-February, it obtained official listing qualification.

The IPO aims to raise 320 billion yuan and has also received joint support from nine major financial groups in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.

This includes Shenzhen Ma and Hangzhou Ma, with whom they have long-term partnerships, as well as two prominent families in Hong Kong and three overseas investment funds.

Such a large IPO has shocked the entire online celebrity industry.

Unlike Tengfei New Energy, Tengyou does not require much development funding.

With over 100,000 online influencers under its wing, Tencent continuously pours funds into the company every day.

The money raised in this round of financing was primarily used by early investors to realize profits.

This includes Chen Pingsheng, the largest shareholder.

If he dilutes his shares by 40%, he will have cashed out a total of 112 billion.

This is also the largest cash-out in terms of financing to date.

For the past half day, Grandpa Golden Finger has remained completely still, instead going to upgrade.

Each upgrade in the past brought about some different changes, with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Just like the previous upgrade, income below 100 million can no longer obtain random multiplication.

And this upgrade won't just target funds in the tens of billions anymore!
And sure enough, it was exactly what I wanted.

The cheat code has reached the highest level, LV5, and the amount that can be randomly multiplied has reached tens of billions.

For incomes below 10 billion, it is no longer possible to obtain random increases through the "golden finger" method.

The multiplier has also been reduced by half again, becoming one to three times.

Actually, he's not really short of money now.

Although the Golden Finger Grandpa reduced the random multiplier, he increased the Luck value.

Luck is an elusive thing, but its greatest benefit, besides bringing good fortune to Chen Pingsheng himself, is that it also brings peace and safety to his family.

The Golden Finger Grandpa didn't even give a single explanation on how to increase one's luck.

That means it will increase when it should, and asking won't help when it shouldn't.

Chen Pingsheng is no longer short of money; on the contrary, this has brought him good fortune that protects his family as they grow up safely.

He actually prefers it more.

Let's complete the random increase of this 112 billion first.

The golden dice were now pure white with only three dots: one, two, and three.

If he can win three times the amount, he won't lack any funds this year.

I didn't get a three, but I got a two.

Through this random increase, he combined his initial investment with the billions he hadn't yet spent.

It has a total of 350 billion in cash deposits.

No wonder the golden finger reduced its multiplier after reaching 10 billion.

This is indeed a bit too exaggerated; even he couldn't have imagined such a large amount of money.

Where should it flow?

Tengfei New Energy has already received around 10 billion yuan this year, and will receive another 25 billion yuan in funding.

This will be enough to cover the annual R&D and operating costs.

He hired so many top engineers and established top-tier R&D centers in six countries around the world.

Before car sales reach a certain level, it's inevitable that money will have to be taken from our own pockets to maintain everyone's salaries and research and development expenses.

This is also the main reason why technology companies can easily obtain government support; it's not something an ordinary person can do.
