The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

July is hot.

Just as Chen Pingsheng was choosing his next stock investment plan, Tang Jing arrived with a personnel department plan.

Due to the poor performance of traditional sectors this year, the human resources department unanimously recommended adopting a 35-year-old elimination system.

What do you mean?

After the age of thirty-five, a person's energy is limited and they are far less capable than recent college graduates or young people who have been working in society for two years.

And most importantly, it's cheap for young people.

If an employee is 35 years old and has worked at Tencent Group for more than 5 years, the benefits and years of service combined mean that hiring one of them is equivalent to hiring two younger people.

Given the operational pressures on traditional business segments, the HR department recommends laying off a large number of employees aged 35 and above.

This is used to save on business expenses.

Chen Pingsheng's expression changed after just two glances. He asked his secretary, "Who initiated this suggestion?"

Tang Jing said, "He's a new HR executive poached from over there!"

"You also think this plan is feasible?"

"Of course I didn't."

Tang Jing said, "At the age of 35, they are the pillars of their families. They have to raise children and support their elderly parents at the same time. If we push all these people out into society, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to their families."

"You already know this, so why do those executives still dare to offer such opinions?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "Fire this new HR executive immediately. If a company doesn't consider its employees at all and only focuses on profits, it will be a disaster for the whole society."

"Such a culture cannot be implemented by our company."

In the past two years, the difficulty of running a business has been increasing, and many companies are learning the so-called wolf culture.

Firing employees over 35 years old is acceptable, and the same applies when hiring.

In addition, most factories also promote a so-called overtime culture. If the overtime pay is sufficient, then it's not a problem.

After all, everyone comes out to make money.

What I fear most is having only a wolf-like mentality but no overtime pay.

What's even more frightening is that this culture is being promoted by the whole society; it's no exaggeration to say that it's anti-human.

Anyway, Chen Pingsheng himself was quite disgusted by this kind of thing. There are too many things to bear in middle age, and once you lose your job at this stage.

That's not just about losing income; what's even more terrifying is that families could break up.

It is extremely frightening if a company has no social responsibility whatsoever.

Tang Jing went to announce the big boss's decision; he had indeed replaced a group of employees who were thirty-five years old before.

But those were all management teams, and the kind of management teams that had lost their passion.

Compared to the large number of employees, the dismissed management team only accounts for a very small portion.

The current situation is difficult for everyone, and if they were to abandon those middle-aged employees again...

That would be a disaster.

No wonder everyone is scrambling to take the civil service exam these days; it's stable.

Once you're in, it's for life. Who wouldn't want that?
After Chen Pingsheng fired those HR executives who were single-mindedly trying to increase profits by exploiting employees, he...

No one will dare to create monsters like this again.

He parked three cars at Kingsoft headquarters: a red Bugatti, a Brabus 800, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

He owns everything from sports cars and SUVs to top-of-the-line sedans.

Since he got off work early, he decided to go and check on Er Yatou.

After the barbecue restaurant was forced to close, this young girl went to work for one of her three major companies.

She also moved three major companies to Jinshan, and she will be transferred to Jinshan No. 1 Primary School when school starts in September.

Er Yatou's spending spree continues, and her employees are also actively spending money.

Once she joined one of the three major companies, she was no longer that lazy girl squatting on the ground skewering lamb.

He's a super CEO!

With a serious expression, Er Yatou listened to Zhang Qi report on the situation of the three major companies.

Aside from normal spending, what other situation does she have?

Surprisingly, her sister also started live streaming.

For Erpiya now, the most important thing is to avoid getting sick; everything else is secondary. She has stockpiled a warehouse full of masks and changes her protective suit twice a day. She's been careful her whole life, protecting herself from everything and everything, and from any illness.

"Three CEOs, this is our company's operating situation. Please take a look."

Erpiya glanced at it briefly and saw that it was all numbers, which made her a little confused.

Fortunately, Zhang Qi understood her and deliberately enlarged the most crucial number.

She can spot it at a glance.

Her normal monthly expenses are around eight million, which is a small amount and she doesn't care about it at all.

"The three presidents, Chairman Chen has arrived."

Chairman Chen, isn't that her father?
The second daughter immediately jumped out of her CEO's office and obediently went to pick up her father.

After Chen Pingsheng came in, he greeted the employees briefly before finding Er Yatou.

"Have you finished your summer homework?"

"Dad, I've changed teachers, so I don't have any homework anymore. I can't just take the things the previous teacher assigned to the next one!"

That makes so much sense… Chen Pingsheng couldn’t really argue with that. “The barbecue restaurant won’t open for another seven or eight days. You should do something meaningful during your summer vacation at one of the three major companies.”

"Haven't I been doing the most meaningful things all along?"

"Spending money can be considered meaningful?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "How about this, I'll allow you to bring people from the three major companies to open a store. Any kind of store is fine, just don't keep spending money without considering making money."

"Dad, I'm only seven years old, a few months short," Erpiya said cutely.

“When you asked your family for hundreds of millions of pocket money, you didn’t say you were only 5 years old and two months shy of your due date.”

Fine... she couldn't even refute it.

All you're thinking about is making money, right? As long as she doesn't have to work at a barbecue restaurant making skewers, anything is fine.

Chen Pingsheng also forbade her from accepting gifts from netizens online anymore.

Are you kidding me? She's someone who spends hundreds of millions in pocket money every year, and you're going to give her a tip?
Wouldn't that make you look like an idiot?

After Er Yatou lost this source of income, she didn't care.

Anyway, I don't make money from this stuff, but now there's going to be a test.

The three major companies cannot just spend money without making any. Even if you take 100 million to open a store, making one yuan a day is considered a success.

It is said that failure is the mother of success. At Er Ya Tou's age, by the time she turns eighteen, she will have accumulated dozens of mothers of success.

This is something that ordinary people would never believe.

Since Chen Pingsheng couldn't get her to sympathize with ordinary people, he might as well let her keep accumulating entrepreneurial experience.

If she continues to act recklessly like this, when she turns seventeen or eighteen, she will be far beyond what ordinary children can compare to.

After her father left, Er Yatou hummed twice and said, "It's just making money, isn't it?"
How difficult can this thing be?

The three companies began to brainstorm ideas, since her company was called "Big Big Big".

Then let's develop everything in a very, very big direction.

How about a milk tea as big as a water bucket?
Erpiya had a brilliant idea: to open the largest milk tea shop in the country.

There's no small cup, no medium cup, and the large cup is too small.

The waiters brought out family bucket meals.

The shop renovation took a long time, which is not true.

Her three major companies have such a strong foundation that they can simply buy ready-made solutions.

If there isn't one readily available, why not just find a spot and offer it for a million?

Not sharing?

Then three million.

Okay, you're amazing.

Er Ya Tou went to start her own business, the kind that doesn't consider the investment costs.

At her age, what serious things can she possibly do?
