The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Su Xiaoxi has made a fortune again recently.

When the investment returns are realized, it will probably take a long time to figure out how to spend the money.

After all, once most people have a house and a car, having more money isn't of much use.

Without a doubt, Su Xiaoxi already had all these basic things.

RVs merely fulfill basic living needs; for the wealthy, the real upgrade is the enjoyment of spending money to enhance their lifestyle.

Going forward, it will also involve needs such as social interaction and respect.

These two things will likely be available to Su Xiaoxi when she is a sophomore in college.

With nothing else to do, Chen Pingsheng decided to visit his second daughter, Chen Xinyi.

Chen Xinyi has been wearing a princess crown worth tens of millions of dollars since birth, and this habit has remained largely unchanged over the years.

They are afraid of death, live in the ultra-luxury market, and rarely want to interact with ordinary people.

She doesn't look down on ordinary people, but she simply avoids contacting them altogether.

My workplace is usually in a skyscraper near the sea in Shenzhen.

Because her older sister, younger brother, and father were all here, she reluctantly spent over 8 billion to buy this 68-story seaside skyscraper as her headquarters.

The five floors above are her private space, and apart from her own secretary and friends, ordinary employees are not allowed to go up there unless there is a reason.

The top floor has been converted into a huge helipad and an outdoor swimming pool.

They throw parties here all the time, and life is so much fun.

As for the other four floors on top, they include restaurants, entertainment venues, medical facilities, offices, and gathering spaces, satisfying all basic entertainment needs.

Erpiya is still the same Erpiya she always was, prioritizing enjoyment wherever she goes. As long as she's having fun, she doesn't care about her younger brother or anything like that.

When Chen Pingsheng drove over, Chen Xinyi was upstairs playing golf with her two female friends.

They were discussing where to go this weekend.

To be honest, Erpiya is definitely the most talented one in the family. She was able to skip several grades from a young age and finished her entire university education by the age of twenty.

With such strong talent, she should have been best suited for scientific research, but unfortunately she had no interest in it at all, and out of 24 hours a day, she was only willing to spend six hours at most on serious work.

At other times, in addition to enjoying weekends off like other employees, they also get time off for any public holiday.

She's not the only one releasing [the drugs]; everyone in the group has to do the same.

I arrive at the company at 9:30 in the morning, have a three-hour lunch break, and leave work at 5:00 in the afternoon without fail.

I will start by not treating my employees like beasts of burden.

If Chen Lu was just average in terms of natural talent from a young age, then his older sister was definitely not one to work hard.

Try to be as free as possible; if you really can't be free, then handle things according to the fastest standards.

"Xinyi, how about we go drifting on the beach this weekend?"

"Isn't this the same thing we did last week? Can't you guys come up with something a little more original?"

Drifting on the sea is even more exciting than racing cars, but unfortunately, Chen Xinyi is already tired of it.

"If we can't make it at sea, then let's find someone to throw a party together."

"It's meaningless."

So boring... I can't think of anything fun to do this weekend.

"Second Princess, your father is downstairs."

"Who?"

Chen Xinyi, who was lying on the rooftop sunbathing, suddenly stood up with a start. "My dad's here. Why is he here?"

"I don't know. The chairman has already been received on the first floor, and he will be coming up soon."

"Then hurry up and come to my office. I want my dad to see me at my best."

Chen Xinyi quickly left and returned to her office, where she began working with a serious expression. It wasn't easy for her, after all, to inherit a larger share of the family fortune.

It's all my sister's fault. Why does she have to work so hard for no reason? It makes me feel like I'm also caught up in the fierce competition.

She's a rich kid, so it's normal for her to act like this.

When Chen Pingsheng came up in the elevator, there were already many people waiting to greet him outside.

Each of them, dressed in their uniforms, exudes a captivating charm, and their spirits are incredibly high.

Before he even went inside, Chen Xinyi came to the door and called out to him, "Dad, what brings you to my company all of a sudden?"

"Nothing else, I just wanted to come and see you. I heard you've invested in quite a few big projects lately?"

"It's alright, it's just a small investment."

Chen Xinyi asked him, "Dad, I heard from my sister that you've officially started grooming Su Xiaoxi, and you really want her to be our family's only daughter-in-law?"

"It's too early to say for sure, but Su Xiaoxi is quite talented, only a little bit less so than you."

"Only slightly worse than me, isn't that incredibly impressive?"

"It's pretty good, but your effort level is incomparable to others."

"Dad, you're not just saying this to make me look lazy, are you?"

"No, it's because we want you to take over the shares of Tengyou Media. You'll also need to spend more time on that."

"Is it really necessary for you to make the trip yourself for such a small matter?"

“It’s necessary. I’m planning to go back to Shanghai and then take your mother to the countryside for a while. Your grandfather’s health isn’t good right now, and he doesn’t want to retire in a big city, so it’s my turn to go back.”

Chen Pingsheng came here mainly to talk about this matter.

Not only is his father in poor health, but Peng Ying's health isn't very good either.

They're getting old, and if he, as their son, doesn't go back soon, he'll probably have fewer and fewer days to spend with them.

"Dad, are you going back to the countryside?"

"Yes, I wanted to tell you some things before I went back. Whether it's Tengyou Media or Yuanmeng Fund, the shares of both groups will be handed over to you in the future. If you can take over yourself, you can take an executive seat there. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can be a director."

Chen Pingsheng not only wanted to go back by himself, but he also wanted to bring his wife and An'an's second son, Chen Jiye, with him.

The older generation likes younger ones, and bringing Chen Jiye back will surely make Peng Ying and the others happy for a long time.

Erpiya had no objections; she no longer needed to ask her father for money.

With the companies she controls, the annual dividends would not be less than 20 billion.

That's more than enough for her to invest.

The main reason for his trip back to Shanghai was to bring his wife along; it's time for her to retire.

This half-retreat, half-non-retreat approach is actually more troublesome.

After spending some time with Er Ya, Chen Pingsheng went to his eldest daughter An An's place without saying goodbye to Chen Lu. He then took Chen Jiye and left Pengcheng.

Su Xiaoxi's training plan will now focus on An'an.

He would take back the principal if he made a billion each month, and bear all the losses if he lost anything.

Let's train them for a year using this simple and unpretentious method.

By the time Su Xiaoxi is a year old, she will probably own quite a few properties.

Given her personality, once she has both a motorhome and a car, her next source of income will be from spending without restrictions.

They will most likely buy commercial properties, specifically prime retail spaces.

Shops are already worth very little; it's difficult to even rent them out, let alone make a profit.

Those well-located projects are still good investment projects, at least the rate of return is very stable.
