The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 714 Chen Pingsheng Arrives

An'an has already gone to university.

After seeing Zhang Wanyi and Chu Qiuyan, Chen Pingsheng drove to find her himself.

I didn't call her before I came, probably because I wanted to surprise her.

An'an was quite busy during the Chinese New Year holiday, which is why she didn't have time to go back to Shanghai.

After Chen Pingsheng arrived, An'an came out quickly as well.

In fact, when daughters reach this age, they all face a problem: they have their own lifestyles, and the days they can spend with their parents will only become fewer and fewer.

It's even less likely that I can rely on them every day like I did when I was little.

An'an came out alone. At the age of twenty, she was a beautiful young woman, in the prime of her youth.

Chen Pingsheng jokingly asked her if anyone at school was pursuing her, and if there was anyone she liked.

An An laughed and said no, adding that many people in the school actually had ulterior motives, that is, impure thoughts.

Chen Pingsheng expressed his understanding, saying that if he had had the opportunity to meet such a wealthy and indifferent girl in the past, who wouldn't be tempted when they were young?

An'an never considered completely rejecting relationships during college, but she also never considered just finding anyone.

She wants to find someone with a similar personality and a soulmate.

However, such people are obviously not easy to find. If she still hasn't found one by the time she graduates from university.

That would most likely mean that the match would be arranged or introduced by the family.

For families like theirs, finding a partner is not something they can do casually.

Chen Pingsheng only gave her a couple of reminders and didn't intend to worry about such things.

Now that An'an has grown up, she actually has her own ideas about many things.

Chen Pingsheng also told her about his family's recent situation, such as her mother, Song Yanxi, who has recently become obsessed with some elegant games among wealthy women.

Such as art collecting, attending high-end charity galas, etc.

Her younger sister, Chen Xinyi, is obsessed with luxury goods and refuses to leave them. After all these years, she has finally found something she likes to do and is willing to take it seriously.

As for his younger brother Chen Lu, he is ten years old and spends all his time playing video games, without any other hobbies.

"Dad, actually I did call Er Yatou."

What did you say to her?

"She just wanted me to come back for the Chinese New Year, saying that my dad missed my sister and hoped I would come back for the New Year. Unfortunately, I was busy at that time and didn't have time to go home, so my dad had to make the trip himself."

"Hmm... Dad understands. The older you get, the more independent space you have to live in."

Chen Pingsheng said calmly, "I didn't even go to Beijing this year. The country has been vigorously supporting the technology industry for years. But while the technology industry is important, the real service industry employs the most people. I never thought about giving up the traditional sector, but I just don't have the energy to take charge of it anymore. Many of the group's veterans were people who made contributions when the group was first established. Now, as time goes by, people change."

As An'an grew older, she came to understand her father's responsibilities more and more. He wanted to do many things well, but he couldn't manage to do them all at the same time.

In this process, different focuses will naturally emerge.

However, one undeniable fact about their business is that they did indeed start out in traditional sectors.

Moreover, this sector also has the largest number of employees.

As for Tengfei Technology, it only meets the demand for highly skilled personnel.

In the future, basic contract manufacturing, including assembly line production, will be replaced by robots.

Therefore, we must not abandon the traditional sections.

The service sector, in particular, is a cornerstone industry for meeting basic employment rates in any country.

The snacks that An'an has now taken over actually have as many as 150,000 employees across the entire supply chain.

This is definitely a very important number, and it's why their family can't give up easily.

Chen Pingsheng's current special status is partly due to his role as one of the core figures in China's science and technology sector.

Half of the reason is that his group has a large number of employees, and the employee salary segment is among the highest in the industry.

These two factors combined constitute his current special status, which also grants Erpiya and even Xiaosan Chen Lu the right to live however they want. The responsibility weighing on An'an is still by no means light.

It's very heavy, very heavy.

After understanding her father, An'an stopped worrying about whether or not she wanted to become a peerless female knight-errant. Now, she was focused on making good snacks.

However, it is, after all, a super-large retail group with hundreds of thousands of employees, and it is not so easy to manage.

Especially when the group's senior members resisted together.

It's not feasible to fire all of these people directly, firstly because it would involve too many management personnel.

Secondly, they all hold a certain amount of shares in the group, so it's not so easy to get them to leave directly.

Chen Pingsheng and An'an found an ordinary teahouse nearby and sat there for an afternoon.

Finally, An'an's phone rang, and the girls in the dormitory asked her where she was.

Chen Pingsheng invited them to come along, and they all called him Uncle Chen, even though he had never given them anything.

This doesn't fit his personality of spending money recklessly.

The main problem is that he has so much money that he can't possibly spend it all, and even his wife has lost interest in keeping track of the household accounts.

The daily income and expenditure are both a complete mess.

One thing is for sure: there is at least one small goal of pure income every day.

Even excluding assets and stock investments, just considering the dividends generated by this large group.

It's not a full distribution of dividends; it's just a share of the dividends allocated to their own family's shares.

It's probably around 100 million per day.

With so much money, let alone keeping track of it, even just wanting to spend it would be extremely difficult.

All three girls have come over; it seems that the turtle girl's family has been facing some difficulties recently.

She didn't say it, but An'an knew.

The ginger candy is still as pretty as ever.

As for the short-haired, spirited girl, her family background was relatively ordinary.

Chen Pingsheng raised his hand and gave them a set of products from his company.

One top-of-the-line Longteng S900 each; this car is positioned to compete with Maybach in the market.

The top-of-the-line model is priced at 158 million.

As for the Tengfei AI phone, even the top-of-the-line model costs over 8,000 yuan.

These two things are enough. An'an then suddenly mentioned some difficulties that the Turtle Girl's family was facing.

After learning a little about it, Chen Pingsheng said, "It's not a big deal, don't worry. I'll have my secretary look into it tomorrow."

It's simply that a bank loan has matured, and new financing hasn't come through yet.

Being stuck at such a precise point most likely means that a competitor has disrupted the game.

With Chen Pingsheng's current reputation, he only needs to pass on a message for this kind of thing.

Whether it's banks or their competitors, they all basically have to give them a lot of face immediately.

That's why he no longer works in the management of basic service industries.

Given his current status, it's fair to say that he could easily enter any market below the trillion-dollar mark.

Those were all acts of bullying people in the past.

Very few people can withstand the combined attack of Tengying and Tengfei Group.

He himself must also maintain this awareness.
