The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 635 is about to explode with shock value.

Despite the teasing and joking, Er Yatou's little wish still had to be fulfilled.

It's just making the snacks bigger; the channels available through Snack Express can easily meet those needs.

After he went to the top floor, he was preparing to enjoy a relaxing soak in the rooftop hot spring.

Chen Fan brought his new wife to see him, and his cousin grinned foolishly.

His new wife is quite beautiful. She's from Sichuan and comes from a very poor family. They even started their marriage search online.

The gist of it is that she wants someone to help her family build a big house, then take care of her parents in their old age, and also support her younger brother's education.

She was willing to marry him.

Perhaps having learned from their previous experiences, Chen Fan's parents were much more direct this time, taking out more than four million yuan.

The condition is that she must marry Chen Fan for three years.

We'll divorce in three years. You can do whatever you want, the only condition is that you don't cheat on me during those three years.

Chen Pingsheng didn't want to comment on this kind of thing; it was perfectly normal for wealthy people to buy wives to get married.

The dumbest thing is when someone goes to a live stream to give virtual gifts and ends up spending all their money meant for their coffin.

After he left, his younger sister Chen Qi came over again.

Now the whole family lives together in this building, so it's very convenient if anything happens.

My sister's visit this time wasn't anything to worry about. After the Hu family was scolded, they stopped causing trouble.

She came to talk about her ideals.

"Brother, you're living a really comfortable life!"

"You're not bad either!"

"That's right." Chen Qi rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, I've been in Jinshan for so long and haven't had anything serious to do. Why don't you arrange something for me?"

"You can pull him down."

Chen Pingsheng said, "You've been idle for so many years, and I've never seen you want to do anything serious. Now that you're sick, you say you want to do something serious? Who would believe that?"

"Brother... I'm serious."

Do I look like I'm lying to you?

Well... Chen Qi has run away. I was hoping to get some resources from her brother to start a business, but it seems that's not going to work now.

His younger sister has too many ideas; she can't stay still for more than three days before she changes her mind again.

After his wife returned, Chen An'an stopped doing live streams.

Her live stream only gets a few viewers a day, not many. She doesn't even use the location setting when filming her own videos.

Having learned from past experiences, they certainly won't let themselves become famous.

When Song Yanxi came over, she talked about two important things. One was that things were going quite well in the health industry.

Tongxin's family opened their store extremely quickly, and another thing was that her younger sister, Song Wu, agreed to date that man.

If nothing unexpected happens, we will most likely get married this year.

There's really nothing to be happy about, after all, the Song family already has two grandsons with the surname Song.

Whether Song Wu gets married or not, her life won't be too bad.

After everyone started living in the same building, there were plenty of everyday stories and gossips.

The next day, Chen An'an invited Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao to his house to play together.

Chen Lu, the mistress, went to see his best female classmate, Su Xiaoxi.

That little girl was incredibly cute and had a great personality.

The mistress's favorite thing to do was play with her, and Su Xiaoxi's parents were also real estate tycoons.

The Su family also owned many businesses.

Time flies, and it's already late July.

Er Yatou's super-sized snack shop has opened; this time she's learned her lesson.

Isn't the goal to prevent short video live streaming from generating revenue?

She'll definitely make this store popular with short videos; the DaDa snack shop will soon become another beautiful little landmark on Jinshan Street.

Whether she can make money or not is unknown, but she's definitely become famous. Chen Pingsheng still didn't pay attention to him. After the illness subsided in the urban village, he went back to open a barbecue restaurant there.

Changfu also invited two old friends over for a get-together, and to have some beer and barbecue.

"Hey Lao Chen, you seem to be living a pretty leisurely life these days."

"Okay."

The main reason he can be so relaxed is because Tesla and Nvidia are experiencing such a rapid rise in stock prices.

With no shortage of economic sectors, how could one not be relaxed?

"You're so cool. I see Gao Hu doing live-streaming e-commerce all day long. I don't know what he's doing it for."

"Even if it's boring, we have to do it."

After a pause, Chen Pingsheng brought up a major issue: "Xu Pipi's business might be in trouble. Many people who have paid the down payment may not be able to get their houses."

"No way, isn't he still riding high right now?"

"It's just a superficial phenomenon."

Chen Pingsheng said, "I have received a lot of information that he is trying his best to transfer assets and attempt to file for bankruptcy overseas to dump all the domestic debts on society. If he takes this step, he will be abandoned by everyone."

It's obvious that real estate developers are having a tough time right now.

Xu Pi, who is heavily indebted and has enjoyed his success for so many years, has recently come up with some clever ideas.

What do you mean?

Let Hengda directly file for overseas bankruptcy proceedings, and if the bankruptcy is successful...

If the company is gone, it's gone; the debts won't fall on the operators.

Everything must be reset to zero.

His idea can only be described as extremely outrageous. If he succeeds, most domestic real estate developers will do the same.

What will be the consequences?

The homebuyer emptied the savings of three generations, only to find that the company had filed for bankruptcy. The bank loan still had to be repaid as usual, but the house was gone.

If this happened in an era where everyone has a gun, the weapon of equality would teach people a lesson.

I'll kill you if I don't.

The danger is already quite obvious, it's just that it's being held back.

When it's exposed, a major earthquake will occur.

It's worth noting that this is one of the companies that has built the most houses in the country.

Those are houses that haven't been delivered yet; there are at least millions of them.

If something goes wrong, countless people will cry out in despair.

Chang Fu would have had no idea about this if he hadn't heard him say that.

"Old Chen, this matter will probably have a huge impact!"

"It's much bigger than you can imagine. No private company can save this. In the end, the whole society has to step in to cover it up."

Even if you tied the four major families of Hong Kong together, it would be difficult to solve the problem of trillions of dollars in debt.

Chen Pingsheng and Belt Bro didn't get along well to begin with, so he didn't feel any schadenfreude now.

The main problem is that the impact is too widespread; just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

No one knows what will happen to Belt Bro in the end, and he doesn't try to guess.

The illness is merely a symptom; the real trigger that will cause the economy to decline rapidly is the huge time bomb buried beneath the real estate market.

We're just having a casual chat today. Back in his hometown, there are many people who have bought huge houses.

Those who have already taken possession of their properties are in good shape, but those who haven't are likely to face difficulties.

If this thing were to be exposed, it would have an absolutely seismic impact.

Chen Pingsheng also found it difficult to predict what the final outcome would be.
However, when such things happen, it is usually the homebuyers who suffer.

These people will probably become the last ones left holding the bag.

The housing business is tough these days.
