The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 748: Difficult to Understand
Su Xiaoxi's current feelings are hard to describe.

Chen Lu's father remains as powerful as ever. No matter how ordinary he may seem sitting in front of you, anyone who knows his identity will recognize him.

They would probably all have to be extremely respectful.

Even more unable to contain her emotions than her was her best friend, Yang Zi.

So this is the kind of person my best friend was waiting for.

He can throw around billions of dollars at a time, and you can do whatever you want with it. He doesn't ask you to separate from his son, he just asks you to do something with it.

The specifics of what happened were not mentioned, nor were the details of what was to be accomplished.

Anyway, there's only one rule: it's up to you.

What kind of wealthy family is this, that they can so easily take out billions and give it to a girl who is not yet their daughter-in-law and with whom they have not even established any relationship?

At this moment, she felt that Su Xiaoxi's three-year wait was not a loss at all.

Are you kidding me? Even if a top student worked for a thousand years, they would have a hard time earning that much.
"Uncle Chen, I..."

"Don't refuse, because you may not understand our family's standards and rules for raising the next generation."

Chen Pingsheng said, "During his three years overseas, Chen Lu invested in a total of 37 stocks and 57 companies. In the first year, he suffered a net loss of 18 billion, in the second year he lost 29 billion, and in the third year he suffered a collective crash in the US stock market, losing 4.6 billion in one go."

"Given his status, this amount of money is just a trial run. The biggest difference between ordinary people and him is the cost of trial and error. Ordinary people only have about three chances to change their fate from the moment they are born, which means three trial and error costs. If they make a mistake in all three, their lives are basically ruined, and there is no possibility of rising again."

"Chen Lu studied with you for three years of junior high school. Given his status, he should have started to cultivate his business experience and personal abilities through trial and error during junior high school. However, for those three years, he always interacted with you in the most ordinary way."

"During his three years of high school, he started to experiment and make mistakes later than his two older sisters. He lost money for those three years, which is actually quite normal. No one in his family denied anything about him because he had too many costs to cover for his mistakes."

"If you want to succeed in life, you must find a job or industry that you like and love. Only in this way can you devote all your passion to your efforts."

"No matter how much you, Su Xiaoxi, try to save money and refuse the help our family gives you, you will only drift further and further away from Chen Lu. Because when it comes to spending money, your values ​​are completely different. Whether it's Chen Lu's two older sisters or his friends, they all spend money like water."

"I forgot to tell you, his sister Chen Xinyi earned more than 30 billion yuan overseas during her three years of university."

"Of course, you may think this number is too exaggerated, but you should know that she invested as much as 20 billion yuan. Using 20 billion yuan to make more than 30 billion yuan in three years is not exaggerated at all."

"The reason I'm telling you this isn't for any other reason than to let you know that our family has always believed in the principle of large investment, large output."

"We won't give you a million and require you to earn a hundred million during your university years. We'll only give you two billion and let you turn it into three billion in four years, which is 50% of the cost of your investment."

Chen Pingsheng had made it very clear that his family didn't need a frugal daughter-in-law; they wanted a woman with a good family background and ability.

Chen Xinyi, the second daughter, receives billions in pocket money every year. She makes money through investing by throwing money around.

As it turns out, she did indeed make money.

Su Xiaoxi is different. No matter how smart she is or how good her grades are, she can only improve her abilities through trial and error.

Chen Pingsheng didn't believe there were any money-making geniuses in the world.

He only believes that a person can be nurtured and grown through continuous trial and error.

It's rare for ordinary families to produce outstanding children, mostly because they don't have much room for trial and error.

If you throw billions of dollars into it, even a fool would be good at investing.

With someone else teaching them, they can quickly become a genius in the eyes of outsiders.

To their family, Su Xiaoxi is currently like a blank sheet of paper, pure and innocent.

Even a blank sheet of paper needs constant practice to truly become useful.

Chen Pingsheng believes that he has been very responsible as a father.

Even though Chen Lu lost more than 10 billion yuan in three years, he never said a bad word about it.

Instead, they encouraged him to continuously summarize his experiences.

Their family's annual net profit is no less than 100 billion.

For a family with a net daily income of 300 million, what's a loss of 10 billion or so over three years in order to cultivate a good successor?
A light drizzle within a light drizzle.

Five years ago, his daughter wanted her own super island, and he was willing to spend over 50 billion to fulfill her wish.

Erpiya loves playing PUBG Mobile, and he can invest hundreds of billions to fulfill her wish.

It allows her to hunt in the mountains using a Barrett rifle.

In short, when you're this rich, no dream is a dream anymore.

You can dream about something at night and it can come true during the day. The main reason Er Yatou doesn't go back to China is because you can't do these things there.

Think about it, given the things she likes to do, would she really date an ordinary person?
If your family doesn't have hundreds of billions, you can't even keep up with her entertainment pace.

She had an incredibly fun-filled three years of university.

They always call out to their roommates, who are all princesses or young ladies from top-tier wealthy families.

Go hunting in the mountains near her place, or whaling in the ocean using a superyacht.

Er Yatou doesn't have many friends in the country, but she has many friends abroad.

They are all people like her, whose families have so much money they can't possibly spend it all.

If Su Xiaoxi wants to integrate into a family like theirs, simply being frugal is not enough.

That would only make her feel out of place.

Of course, she is indeed very beautiful, a very pretty young girl.

For families like theirs, good looks are meaningless; they're just the most basic thing.

An An manages most of the entertainment industry; she has no shortage of beautiful women.

Su Xiaoxi felt a sudden pressure. "Uncle Chen, I will try my best."

"Take your time to get used to it. You know that Chen Lu wasted three years of junior high school just to be with you. Now he's even given up the opportunity to study at an overseas university and come back to China to study at the same university as you. You should know that for someone like him and his sister, studying at MIT would be the best option."

MIT is a school you can get into based on your grades.

That is undoubtedly the best of the best, the world's number one science and technology university.

If you want to get in without good grades, there are ways.

Get a few celebrities to recommend you, and your family will donate hundreds of millions of US dollars.

Converted to RMB, that means spending billions to buy a single spot.

Such a long and complicated process suggests that those who don't rely on academic achievements must come from very wealthy or poor families.

This is the real reason why Erpiya thrived there.

She was naturally gifted and had a big spending habit; her classmates all came from families that were well-known in the world.

These people will be able to play together very quickly.

Birds of a feather flock together; people of similar tastes group together. That's roughly the idea.

If Chen Lu hadn't insisted on coming back, that kind of university would have been the best for him.

While there are many wealthy people at top universities in China, none are as rich as Chen Lu.

If a family's net worth reaches tens of billions, look at their children; most of them are sent abroad early on.

Families with assets of hundreds of millions will try every means to send their children abroad.

Chen Lu... truly stands out from the crowd.

While Su Xiaoxi was touched, she was also silently worried about their future. Mainly, she was afraid, and she knew that she was not good enough for Chen Lu at all.

No matter how hard you try, it's the same.

However, Chen Pingsheng ultimately gave her three chances.

If she can't do it, then this two billion is probably just a way to buy out her childhood sweetheart relationship with Chen Lu.

Or another way, Chen Lu could marry Shen Xi, and Su Xiaoxi could be his mistress for life.

The kind of publicly acknowledged romantic relationship.

Given their family's circumstances, this is not considered unfair to Su Xiaoxi.

Chen Pingsheng felt that this was most likely the case.

He wouldn't refuse such a situation, which could be considered a bit of selfishness on his part as a father.

He just won't explain it now.
