The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chang Fu's envy was hard to describe in a single sentence.

For people of their status and position, making money in the stock market is still quite easy.

I'm not talking about big money, just small amounts.

The main reason is that it's not something that requires too much skill; having more information than others makes it easier to make money.

For example, if you know in advance which companies are going to go public, you can go and buy some shares.

And then I also learned about the founder's information.

Putting everything else aside, just relying on this kind of information, making a little money in a year is a piece of cake.

As June approached, more and more people came to Chen Pingsheng to borrow money.

Many of them were well-known big bosses, and he dismissed them with just a few words.

Nothing major happened in the first ten days of this month; he invested all the money he needed to invest.

The group is extremely stable.

The children in the family are very excited because summer vacation is just around the corner.

In addition, their family is also preparing to move houses in the middle of this month, and Chen Pingsheng also held a housewarming banquet at home on the first day of the move.

His rooftop Suzhou-style garden is so extravagant, everyone who sees it will be amazed.

Not only did Liu Fen and her group come, but she also invited all of Old Liu's relatives over.

This was the biggest family gathering after the New Year, and Liu Fen was incredibly enthusiastic, running around busily preparing for the event.

"Mom, you invited so many relatives over without telling me beforehand."

Her sister-in-law, Song Wu, was helping her with the work.

"What do you know? All the suffering I endured in my past life has been made up for by your eldest sister. Now that my eldest son-in-law is so successful, what's wrong with me showing off a little?"

"It's been so many years, haven't you had enough of showing off from Beijing to Shanghai?"

Liu Fen snorted, "How could that be? When your brother-in-law was in Beijing, although he made a lot of money, many people in our Liu family still thought he was just a nouveau riche who was lucky and would squander it all sooner or later."

“Over the years, so many relatives’ houses have fallen into ruin. Look at your brother-in-law, his house is getting taller and taller.”

Song Wu couldn't say anything about her mother; that's just her personality. Whenever something happens at home, she'll definitely drag all the relatives from Lao Liu's side into it and brag about it.

Especially my brother-in-law, everyone only found out last month that he had made over 100 billion yuan just by speculating in stocks.

Now the company has expanded globally.

Her mother was overjoyed, wishing she could throw a banquet at home every day, as if she herself had earned so much money.

Liu Fen received several more relatives from the Liu family before turning around and glaring at her youngest daughter.

“I’m telling you, you’ve been divorced for so long, and your sister is now one of the most famous female entrepreneurs in the country. You can’t stay single forever, can you?”

"Why are you asking these questions again?" Song Wu asked, somewhat annoyed.

"Can I not ask? Your sister has talked to your brother-in-law several times, asking him to introduce you to potential partners, but you didn't agree."

"How could I disagree..."

"You're still arguing back."

Song Wu was too lazy to tell her that her brother-in-law was moving today, and there were too many relatives coming and going.

Even her best friend in the entertainment industry, Qiao Yiren, came, bringing many gifts.

Song Wu rolled her eyes at her best friend, "Didn't I tell you not to bring gifts?"

"Are you kidding me? What kind of person is your brother-in-law? I'm only able to attend his housewarming party because of you. And you didn't even bring a gift. Do you think I should go in?"

Like Song Wu, Qiao Yiren is also a third-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry.

Having no status, getting any good resources is harder than climbing to heaven.

She's right; her brother-in-law's family banquet isn't for just anyone.

Song Wu reminded her not to buy gifts, not because she wanted her to spend money, but mainly because her brother-in-law was too rich.

The more this happened, the more people rushed to give him gifts.

This super-large villa has a total of eight elevators, and there are six female staff members in the lobby on the first floor.

The banquet was held on the second floor. Although it was a large villa, the second floor was decorated more elegantly than a five-star hotel. After finishing their meal on the second floor, everyone could then explore the area.

Qiao Yiren was quite excited; this was her first time attending a big boss's family banquet.

It would be a lie to say she had no thoughts about it. She didn't ask for much; she just wanted to be able to exchange a few words with the big boss.

Song Wu led her to the second floor, which was full of relatives. Those who wanted to give gifts could simply hand them to the registration staff at the door.

As a return gift, anyone who visits their home will receive six standard-weight gold bars.

Based on the current gold price, it would be around 40,000 yuan per stick.

You won't know how high the gold bars are until you get up here.

It would be a lie to say that Qiao Yiren wasn't surprised when she saw the mountain of gold bars.

Song Wu led her to a seat, which was still the front row.

Although it was just a family dinner, her brother-in-law's status made it difficult to avoid making it a grand affair.

The main reason is that too many people will try every means to get here.

There were many important people at the table where Qiao Yiren was sitting, so she didn't dare to say much.

Song Wu continued to encourage her to eat and drink as usual, telling her not to be nervous.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. Qiao Yiren even asked her, "Where's your sister?"

"My sister will be out in a while; the people she's entertaining are the truly wealthy and powerful."

"Okay, I have to say your sister is just too enviable. There are so many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, none of them don't envy your sister."

Do you all envy my sister? Song Wu wanted to smile noncommittally. Not long ago, she had been urging her sister to get a divorce.

Fortunately, her sister didn't listen to her, otherwise, if it were today, her mother Liu Fen would have taken out the rolling pin and beaten her to death.

“My brother-in-law used to be just an ordinary guy.”

"Such a talented person is amazing. Don't you know what people in the entertainment industry say about your brother-in-law? I've heard that several top-tier female celebrities have had a crush on him."

"Don't spread such rumors."

Song Wu knew this was true, of course, but unfortunately everyone liked the image of her brother-in-law after he achieved success.

When he's selling goods on the street and barely has any money in his pocket, who would want to buy his goods?
Only her sister is silly.

Just as we were talking about her sister, Song Yanxi came out with Chen Pingsheng, and she even took the initiative to ask Song Wu.

Why are you sitting here?

"My friend is sitting here, so I'll sit here too."

"Oh..." Song Yanxi greeted Qiao Yiren, and she was so excited.

Chen Pingsheng added with a smile, "My sister-in-law has quite a temper, so it's not easy for you to be her best friend."

Qiao Yiren reacted very quickly, "No, Xiao Wu and I have known each other for a long time. We've been acting together in the entertainment industry for many years."

The subtext of her words was that I wasn't friends with her because of her background.

When they met, they were both just minor extras in the entertainment industry.

"My sister-in-law isn't very good at acting, but she just happens to love being an actress."

Chen Pingsheng said with a smile, "You've been working hard for so many years and you're still only at the third tier. I'll talk to Bai Xin later and ask her to introduce you to some good resources."

He has many relatives, and he can't possibly greet them all, so he left after saying those two sentences.

Qiao Yiren, on the other hand, was so excited that she couldn't believe it. "Xiao Wu, your brother-in-law just said that he would ask President Bai to introduce me to resources. You're not serious, are you?"

"Whether he's serious or not, he'll definitely keep his word."

Song Wu asked her to sit down first, "Don't get so agitated. My brother-in-law is a very good person. Besides, the resources in the entertainment industry are really nothing to him. He wouldn't use those things in the entertainment industry to exchange for actresses' unspoken rules."

"That's true."

A short while later, Bai Xin came to find her.
