The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

There are still many things to take care of at home.

It's rare for things to escalate to Chen Pingsheng's level, but the reason he stepped in this time was because the impact was too severe.

If he doesn't take care of things, many of his relatives might get carried away and forget themselves. In fact, after enjoying decades of affluent life, the people in the Chen family have long forgotten what they used to be like.

Some are having affairs, others are keeping male models; it's as if those previously suppressed desires are being completely unleashed.

This has led to many offspring going astray.

He wouldn't usually interfere with ordinary people, but he was very strict with the direct descendants of the Chen family.

Especially the two children in An'an's family, one was raised by him and the other by the old man of the Sun family, which shows how much he values ​​them.

They are different; having experienced decades of entrepreneurship, their life experience is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

They've also done a pretty good job with their children's education.

There are many companies of all sizes in Shenzhen. The main reason I was able to get the job as a driver and president's assistant at Tianle Technology was through the introduction of a little acquaintance.

Perhaps it was fate, but the female CEO's grandfather lived in an urban village and was his neighbor; he was a true Shenzhen native.

I used to be the village chief in this area. I was one of the earliest village chiefs in Pengcheng. Those who know, know.

My family was involved in a demolition and relocation project, which led to us becoming rich quickly in that era.

The family has two sons and a daughter, almost all of whom are second-generation renters who live a life of leisure.

They make a living by collecting rent.

This female CEO is his granddaughter, and also the most successful one in the family.

His family has had more than a dozen generations of descendants, and it's only with great difficulty that they've produced such a remarkable granddaughter.

When she started her business, the old man gave her 200 million yuan plus a small building.

This shows how much he dotes on his eldest granddaughter.

The saying "wealth doesn't last three generations" applies to people who like to cause trouble.

In fact, in Guangdong, many families have been wealthy for three or four generations.

The main reason is that the people of Guangdong are simple and honest, their family education is very strict, and they dislike showing off.

If someone doesn't have much ability, their family will simply arrange for them to work as a second-generation tenant in an ordinary company.

Besides collecting rent, their daily routine consists of driving to various mountain farms to eat and drink and enjoy life.

People here are also used to being second-generation renters.

Seriously speaking, if you have seven or eight houses and four or five storefronts, you can live a very good life as long as you don't mess around.

The saying "one shop can support three generations" is not just empty talk, but a factual basis.

After get off work, Chen Pingsheng often played chess with the old village chief and chatted about neighborhood matters.

Life was quite leisurely. After learning that he was looking for a job, the old village chief introduced him to his eldest granddaughter's family.

Others become village chiefs and amass fortunes of over a billion yuan.

His father was the village chief, and he lost a lot of money every year.

Because he also had the experience of being a village chief, Chen Pingsheng would occasionally think of his departed father.

"Hey Lao Chen, you haven't improved much at all, you terrible chess player!"

"If I improve any further, will you still be my match?"

"Haha, you're right. I don't like playing against those who are too skilled; it's no fun."

"It's rare for me to find someone as bad as me in terms of skill."

Chen Pingsheng didn't have much time to play chess, so now that he's retired, he can bring his son Jiye out to play.

“We’re both equally bad, so let’s not say anything to each other. But my eldest granddaughter, once you join her company, even if you’re just a driver, I specifically told her to listen to you. Old Chen, you’ll have to give her lots of guidance then.”

"That's not right. I used to be a driver. Your granddaughter is such a big boss, why would she need to listen to me?" "Haha, we're both this age. Although I'm twenty years older than you, I don't know why you, Old Chen, would become a security guard or a driver at this age. But I've seen countless people, so I'm sure I won't misjudge you."

Old Sun is very prestigious in this area. Everyone knows he's rich, and he's often generous with his money.

Many people rent his houses, and if anyone in a family is in trouble, he not only waives the rent but also lends money to the tenants.

Those who have lived to their age all understand the meaning of accumulating good karma and being a good person.

That was a last wish, a hope that one would be reborn into a better life in the next life.

It is also a blessing accumulated for the family and the next generation.

In fact, over the years, Chen Pingsheng has never stopped investing in Tengnong breeding.

His accumulated luck value is already an astonishing number, enough to ensure that his family will live a carefree, peaceful, and joyful life for three generations.

He didn't know what the fourth generation was like.

"I'm not as capable as you think, and I only get paid as a driver, so don't try to exploit any extra labor."

“If you, Old Chen, are still short of money, I don’t believe it. Many of the houses around your house were sold by me. I was wondering at the time how someone could buy so many at once, and even surround them. Then you came.”

The meaning is clear: housing prices in Shenzhen are not low anywhere else.

If it were easy for someone to come up with hundreds of millions of yuan to buy a house in an urban village, then he would have been a village chief for nothing.

Moreover, none of the extra houses that were sold have been rented out to this day, and they are all occupied by people wearing suits and ties.

This person's demeanor clearly indicates they are a veteran. There are so many houses arranged in the surrounding area, and so many veterans living there.

Is this person here to work as a security guard or driver?

It's highly likely they brought their grandson here to experience life, and they might leave at any time.

"I see through it but I won't say it. Every family has its secrets. I haven't met your granddaughter yet. I'll find out what's going on when I go to her company."

"Alright, I'm relieved to hear that. My granddaughter has an extraordinary heart, but unfortunately, there's only so much I can do to help. Your hidden wealth might just be a big surprise for her."

Being a driver was nothing to Chen Pingsheng.

Life in the urban village is still very leisurely. Xiao Jiye is very much like his mother, and Chen Pingsheng likes this little grandson very much.

An'an rode her old bicycle over again that evening, this time bringing Xiao Jiye some good news.

That means she did a good job as a mother, and was praised by her boss at the company and received a bonus of three thousand yuan.

We also took him to buy new clothes, and little Jiye was so happy.

He was so excited, dancing around. Three thousand yuan made him so happy. What a waste!

When they went out to buy clothes, An'an wanted to take him to a big shopping mall, but then she thought it didn't fit her image, so she simply took him to some roadside stalls instead.

As a result, An'an herself didn't even know how to bargain, and Xiao Jiye had to help her negotiate the price.

As soon as he got back, he complained to Chen Pingsheng about his mother, saying she was too wasteful.

They can't even bargain. A pair of pants that cost 120 yuan could have been bought for 50 yuan.

His mother wanted to give him 150 yuan.

Sigh... It's so hard to have such a spendthrift mother.

An An's lips twitched a few times. She had originally wanted to gain some goodwill from Xiao Jiye, but he still managed to criticize her.

Can I wear those pants that cost fifty?

Xiao Jiye is really pitiful.

When Erpiya was his age, even a pair of pants could cost tens of thousands of yuan.
