The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

"I told you, Lao Chen, human desires really have no end. If Teacher Ma is so capable, he can cause trouble so easily. I, Little Karami, really should calm down a bit."

"That's up to you. But once you're financially independent, you don't necessarily have to pursue just money."

The two chatted and drank at Chen Pingsheng's small bar.

Gao Hu arrived shortly afterward.

Because of Teacher Ma's matter, the entire circle of wealthy people in Shanghai has been in an uproar.

Everyone who knows about this is deeply saddened.

Gao Hu found another girlfriend, a beautiful internet celebrity, and the two have been working together for a long time.

They hadn't been together for very long.

Gao Hu still has to pay back about 20 million yuan every month, and the rest is enough for him to live quite well.

The influencer world has always been quite chaotic; there isn't much genuine emotion in this industry.

She and Gao Hu would be a good match.

"Old Gao, you're a little late. Quickly punish yourself with two drinks before you talk."

Gao Hu is incredibly good at drinking; he's completely fearless.

As for the beautiful internet celebrity he brought along, she was only twenty-three years old and had become famous very early.

She's not very old, and she's already been divorced twice.

She was only able to attend the party because she begged Gao Hu to bring her along.

As a result, what they said was completely unreliable.

He even wanted to invite them to play dice while drinking, but Chen Pingsheng hadn't played such childish and low-class bar games for years.

This time will certainly be no exception.

He stayed for a while and then drove home. At home, Song Yanxi also talked to him about Teacher Ma.

This is not surprising at all, after all, he and Teacher Ma have been working together for a long time and their relationship is quite good.

In fact, over the years, I've seen more than one or two wealthy people around me get into trouble.

A large portion of them went abroad directly, and their return is nowhere in sight.

"Pingsheng, do you think our family will also come to this?"

"It's not that serious, why are you worried about these things?"

"I just feel a little uneasy because my family is too rich."

Song Yanxi finished showering and was still drying her hair by herself. She didn't climb into bed to sleep until her hair was completely dry.

"You just want to be rich when you're broke, and then when you're rich you always feel like someone is eyeing you."

"Aren't you worried?"

Song Yanxi took out the family heirloom computer and began to calculate the family's assets.

"I don't believe you have no worries at all. Look at my casual calculations, our family has at least several hundred billion in assets. Our investment in the Kingsoft headquarters alone is no less than 100 billion. If you add the entire Shanghai, it's at least 300 billion. And that's just the assets that outsiders can see."

"If you include the stocks you hold, plus some hidden assets, our family's wealth is almost over a trillion."

Without a doubt, this is a chilling number.

Trillions of assets! If this money were spread out evenly, their family could immediately create 10,000 billionaires.

One hundred thousand millionaires.

Song Yanxi felt that she was completely unable to handle this wealth.

Chen Pingsheng knew that she was worrying unnecessarily, and that she wasn't the only one with this concern.

Many people share the same idea now.

Otherwise, why would so many people like to go abroad after they become rich?
They even send their children abroad to study or to obtain foreign citizenship.

"No matter how much money we have, as long as what our family does is meaningful to society, we don't need to worry too much."

Chen Pingsheng didn't explain much, and Song Yanxi even had a dream that night.

In the dream, their family had no money again, and the couple continued to run their stalls and go to work.

Ordinary life. Every time I visit my mother, I'm met with her sarcastic remarks.

In the end, Song Yanxi was so frightened that she woke up.

More than worrying about her family being too wealthy, she feared returning to that small rented apartment.

She woke up to find herself inexplicably calling Liu Fen, who was now much busier than Peng Ying, as her main job was taking care of Song Wu's two young sons.

Although she had a nanny to take care of her, she was still worried and felt that as a grandmother, she had to take care of the child herself.

Song Yanxi asked her to go to the company together, but she felt uneasy.

She always felt that having too much money in the family could bring trouble. According to her husband, having money meant giving back to society.

It is also called accumulating blessings.

She glanced at Shuiyunjian's financial report and realized there wasn't much to adjust this year. As for Tongxinjia, which had more employees, that was another matter.

Another wave of collective salary increases is coming.

Having achieved what she has, her family has more money than they could ever spend. Sometimes, for the sake of peace of mind, she is more willing to give back to society in a tangible way.

Unlike some people who donate to temples and build Buddhist halls but don't give their employees a raise of a single penny.

They might even try to deduct employees' wages.

She knew quite a few people like this, carrying an exorbitantly priced Buddhist prayer beads and constantly turning them every day just to find peace of mind.

Song Yanxi opted for a more practical approach.

A family with trillions in assets isn't so easy to maintain.

Fortunately, her husband is truly remarkable; everyone admires him.

After Song Yanxi significantly increased Liu Fen's salary, she drove her shopping.

The mother and daughter hadn't gone shopping together for a while. Although they had everything they needed at home, she still really enjoyed the feeling of shopping.

Song Yanxi doesn't drive Ferraris much; she prefers the top-of-the-line Bentley Continental, whose elegant temperament is simply unmatched.

As for her Rolls-Royce, she rarely drives it anymore; it's become a celebrity car.

This time, she ordered one hundred Tengfei New Energy vehicles in one go.

Prepare for the year-end awards for outstanding store managers of Tongxinjia.

Tengfei New Energy vehicles are also manufactured by her company, and their quality is very good, with the gap between them and Tesla being extremely small.

The Tengfei P9 is positioned as a family SUV, with a price of around 300,000 yuan per unit.

One hundred units would cost 30 million, and she later ordered ten more Panamera units.

The city manager's bonuses will be distributed at the annual meeting in January.

As for her mother, Liu Fen, Song Yanxi also bought her a white Mercedes-Benz G-Class, priced at 360 million yuan.

Her mother often has to take care of the children, so this kind of SUV is obviously more suitable for her.

As for herself, she bought two 2020 Aston Martin DBS cars for her family.

This car is simply cool.

A British sports car, with a price tag of around four million.

She can easily buy two, and they'll even deliver them to her home.

If it weren't for the fact that the younger sister Chen Qi and the older sister Chen Yao both drive Rolls-Royces...

She really wanted to send two of them over.

However, Song Yanxi still called them to ask if they wanted it.

Chen Qi, the younger sister, has always believed that if she doesn't take advantage of her brother's family's benefits, she's a bastard who deserves to be struck by lightning.

It's not that she's heartless, it's just that her brother is too rich.

They're incredibly wealthy, beyond imagination.

Why wouldn't she take a free Aston Martin? She'd been wanting to drive one of those British sports cars anyway.
