The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao especially enjoy going out with An'an.

Although neither of them knew that Chen An'an had inherited Tengchao Commercial Management, a company with a net worth of over 100 billion yuan, from her family.

She is undoubtedly the richest woman born in the 00s, but she and her husband are well aware of the power and influence of her family, especially the Tencent Group, in Kingsoft.

Which of Kingsoft's major projects in recent years wasn't invested in by Tencent Pictures Group?
Her home is in an area that can only be described as unimaginable.

Look at the tourist treatment they receive in Chengdu; they stay in Lihu Eco-City, which is surrounded by water on three sides.

A super villa worth over 200 million yuan.

Chen An'an has stayed in all sorts of places, and she's not used to staying in hotels. She also has very high standards for accommodations, so her mother had no choice but to buy her a large villa here in advance.

In the evening, she also planned to visit Chengdu's night markets, see the bustling Chunxi Road, and try some of the local delicacies.

Tomorrow she's going to visit the panda base, which is the place she's most interested in. She's never seen what a giant panda looks like before.

"Wenwen, let's go to the night market together."

It's so lively when you go out at night.

Many people have already gone home; the bigger the city, the fewer people there are after the Lunar New Year.

The smaller the county town, the more cars there are during the Spring Festival.

She drives out now and there are no traffic jams; the road is clear all the way.

It will be at least two or three years before Chen An'an can get her driver's license, so she will naturally take a car whenever she goes out.

The next day, she went to the panda base to see the giant pandas.

I really want to keep one of those adorable giant pandas at home, but unfortunately, that's probably impossible.

Anyone who dares to plot against pandas is committing a crime a hundred times more serious than stealing bird eggs.

Even a wealthy family like the Chens couldn't possibly keep giant pandas at home.

Chen An'an really liked this big goofball and stayed for two days before leaving.

I also visited Qingcheng Mountain during that time.

The happiness of the rich is so simple: they can go wherever they want without any worries.

in the afternoon.

Shen Youwei also mentioned that one of her cousins ​​was getting married and she was going to attend the wedding banquet tomorrow.

Weddings in rural areas are relatively simple. In the morning, the bride is picked up by a wedding car, and at noon, a feast is held. The traditional sense of ceremony in the bridal chamber is long gone.

The main reason is that nowadays, people live together before marriage, so there's no sense of ceremony left.

It's just a formality.

Chen An'an had never attended a rural wedding banquet before, so she thought she would go and see it, and also visit the plump aunt.

Shen Youwei's home is not too far from Zhao Yingying's. With An'an participating, there's no need to prepare a wedding car for them.

Even the best wedding car can't compare to a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The three of them went to the countryside together. It has to be said that there are more and more single people in the countryside these days.

High dowries are only one aspect. Most people who want to get married can manage to pay the dowry by having their families contribute and themselves contribute a little.

The key issue is the expenses after marriage, including having and raising children. From birth to adulthood, a child can easily cost several hundred thousand yuan by today's standards.

Even a simple cold or fever can cost at least several thousand yuan. Add to that the usual food, clothing, and daily necessities, and none of them are free.

Many young people have already begun to wake up and have simply given up on the idea of ​​enduring hardship.

For poor families, getting married is truly a journey full of twists and turns, and then another three times over.

Shen Youwei's cousin is like that. Even after the wedding car arrived home, the bride's family still wanted to add a wedding gift, which would cost at least 30,000 yuan.

They demanded extra money during the wedding ceremony, and this woman was already married three times.

To be fair, a quick way for women to get rich has recently emerged: marriage and divorce.

If you get a quick divorce, becoming a millionaire is just a matter of a few years.

Many people who got on the bus found it difficult to get off. The rural wedding banquet wasn't as joyous as expected, and Chen An'an returned disappointed, thoroughly impressed by the bride's antics.

It's true that having money doesn't guarantee happiness, but not having money certainly makes it hard to be happy.

Too many things don't go as planned.

Chen An'an also invited the plump aunt to spend the New Year with her, and she herself didn't have so many troubles in her villa in Lihu Eco-City.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, she called her parents to wish them a happy new year and a joyful New Year's Eve.

To be honest, this was her first time spending the Lunar New Year away from home. Although she wasn't unhappy, she still felt a sense of emptiness inside.

She would wonder what her parents were doing at home, whether her second daughter was out fooling around again, and whether her mistress Chen Lu was secretly going to see Su Xiaoxi again.

This Lunar New Year's Eve, she and her older sister-in-law made dumplings at home, and she also learned to cook and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner herself.

With her and a few classmates, they happily welcomed the New Year.

……

Jinshan Villa, Shanghai.

This year, one member of the family of five is missing. The eldest child is spending the New Year alone in Chengdu, leaving only four members of their family to celebrate the New Year together.

When Erpiya grows up a bit more, she will definitely be able to travel around during the Chinese New Year just like her older sister, and have her own space to play.

As they get older, they may get married and have children, and then live in their own homes for a long time, so they may only be able to come back home a very few times a year.

When that day comes, the disappointment in my heart will definitely be even more severe than it is now.

Erpiya was video chatting with her sister when she learned that her sister had bought a huge lakeside villa in Chengdu, and she wanted one too.

Unfortunately, she is far from being old enough to travel alone, so she can only stay at home and keep her parents company.

"Dad, my sister's little villa is so beautiful."

"When you're the same age as her, I'll give you two sets too."

“What’s the point of having one or two houses? I want to buy that lake and build it myself.”

"Alright, alright, just behave yourself and get through these next few years before we talk about it."

She's almost in sixth grade, so there's nothing for Erpiya to envy.

No matter how nice the Lihu Villa is, it's still a world of difference compared to their home.

"It's almost New Year's Eve, how about we watch the Spring Festival Gala and go to the movies tomorrow?"

"Forget it, watching the Spring Festival Gala is not as good as watching the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf cartoon. Going to the movies is fine though."

There are several blockbuster movies to watch this year, among which the most popular is Detective Chinatown 3.

The pre-sale box office has already reached over one billion yuan.

Following the outbreak, the film market has shown clear signs of recovery.

Erpiya obediently watched TV with her parents. A little while later, Peng Ying called again.

I mainly asked them how they were spending the New Year, and also shared some news from Wangcai Village.

Their family will contribute 1.5 billion yuan to build villas throughout the entire village, but they shouldn't make too much of a fuss.

If we're talking about the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year, the countryside is definitely the most lively.

Fireworks are banned in many parts of the city, which has greatly reduced the children's joy.

Before the New Year's countdown even started, the whole family went to bed an hour early.

Now things are much better; both the lunar and solar calendars have entered 2023.

The new year brings a fresh start, and Tang Jing is still sending out red envelopes in the group chat.

The red envelope rain arrived precisely on time at the New Year's Eve. There were so many work groups that it took quite a bit of time and effort.

My phone keeps receiving New Year's greetings from all sorts of people.
