The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

An An spoke at length on stage.

The only problem is that there's nothing inspiring about her. If someone of her level were to tell young people to work hard and create everything with their own hands, it would just sound incredibly fake.

An An even said a lot of harsh things, which profoundly explained what the upper class is all about.

Her marriage was not dramatic; on the contrary, it was rather uneventful.

Her father had arranged a marriage for her with a young man from a prominent family. The two got to know each other and eventually got married.

She later had two more children, one raised by the man's father and the other by her father.

Children from wealthy families are nurtured from a young age by the accumulation of a generation's fortune and countless resources. Since she is like that, her children will naturally be the same.

Reality doesn't allow for fantasy; the only exception in their family was that her younger brother married an ordinary girl he grew up with.

Even so, the girl was subjected to three years of testing and training by her father during her university years.

It cost 20 billion yuan to finally obtain the right to marry into their family.

An An didn't find it strange when she said these words, because it was the truth.

It would be incredibly lucky for any girl that her brother marries.

It's no exaggeration to say she's a woman of great fortune.

"Mr. An, I'd like to know if your sister-in-law is happy now?"

Some of the girls in the audience listened with rapt attention; this was the first time someone had used such honest and direct language to tell them about life in a wealthy family.

An An smiled and said, "I don't know what exactly you mean by happiness. I can only tell you that my brother really likes her, so much so that my mother's opposition for ten years couldn't stop him. As for my sister-in-law, she is now the chairman of a global capital company in Hong Kong, managing a cash investment fund of nearly 50 billion. Her businesses are all over the world. One word from her can influence the lifestyle of nearly 100,000 people. As for her daily life, the net income of a middle-class person for three years is probably only enough for her to eat for one day."

“I’m telling you this not to belittle or to show off, but simply to tell you about some of the choices my father made in dealing with his family.”

"My father respected my mother very much. He never objected to my mother's choice of wife, except when it came to my younger brother's choice of wife. He raised objections."

"It was because of his support that my brother was able to marry the woman he loved most."

"Mr. An, why does your mother oppose this marriage, and why does your father insist on supporting it?"

The private affairs of a wealthy family, especially when told by the eldest princess herself, are far more exciting than reading gossip about the elite online.

"I believe everyone can understand my mother's reasons for objecting. It's nothing more than the old saying about matching social status and family background. My mother hopes that my younger brother can find someone who is worthy of him, which is not unreasonable for any mother in the world."

"My father's reasons for supporting him were very simple. He told my mother, 'Look, isn't your son just like us when we were young? He has a childhood sweetheart he likes, and the childhood sweetheart happens to like him a lot too.'"

Because of that one sentence, we accepted everything. For the next three years, my father opened a bookstore called Wuyou Bookstore outside the girl's university. My father was the bookstore manager, and he invited the girl to work as an ordinary sales clerk in the bookstore.

“Whenever I had free time, I would teach her how to be a princess in a wealthy family and how to adapt from an ordinary life to a life of luxury. In three years, except for one major accident, the girl did everything else very well.”

"Wow...is this what love in a wealthy family looks like?" "It's so romantic, I want love like that too."

"Take a look at everyone's childhood sweethearts. Are there any wealthy young men hiding their true identities among them?"

"How is this going?"

Chen Pingsheng, who was sitting in front, changed his expression. He never expected that An'an would talk to these college students about these things after she went on stage.

Chu Qiuyan and Zhang Wanyi clearly knew the truth, but they didn't dare to admit it.

The chairman has always refused to discuss his family matters with outsiders and has not allowed the news to report on them.

"Aren't you two going to offer an explanation?"

“Uncle Chen, An’an said you’ve been too low-key for too long. She wants more people to know and understand her father when she turns thirty. Compared to your identity as the founder of Tengying Group, An’an thinks you are a great father.”

Even so, there's no need to reveal family matters.

“Uncle Chen, Tengying Group has developed to this point. Is there anyone who can stop An’an from doing what she likes? And no one can stop her from promoting her father. Uncle Chen, please let An’an be willful this one more time!” Chu Qiuyan explained from the side.

Chen Pingsheng naturally couldn't go on stage to stop An'an at this time. She hadn't been willful for more than ten years, and now she just wanted to do what she liked.

"Mr. An, may I ask what the accident was like?" several female university students stood up and asked. They were eager to know everything that had happened to the girl.

An'an continued, "That girl was originally from a fairly good family, but her family suffered a great tragedy when she was young. She and her mother were kicked out of that family. My father gave her a card with 2 billion in cash in it and asked her to invest it all in the short term. This was also a test for that girl."

"I just didn't expect that after the girl's mother found out, she secretly deposited all the money in that card into a fixed-term bank account. As a result, her family can make a net profit of more than 20 million yuan every year just from the interest. Because of this, the girl failed the test."

"Wouldn't that mean I wouldn't be able to become a wealthy family's daughter-in-law?"

"No... When my father found out later, he didn't say a word of blame and gave her billions again."

An'an said, "In my father's words, parents who love their children plan far ahead. That girl's mother raised her alone for more than ten years with great difficulty. She just wanted to leave this money so that her daughter could have someone to rely on in the future."

“In her eyes, our family is like a towering mountain that they can't see the end of. Not only does she not believe that her daughter can really marry into our family, but none of her relatives dare to even think about it.”

"So she secretly deposited all the money in the bank. Only in this way can her daughter earn more than 20 million yuan a year without having to do anything. If everyone had this choice, I believe no ordinary parent would make a second choice."

“My father is highly respected by outsiders and even more so by the group’s employees. This is not only because he has immense power, but more importantly because he is a good entrepreneur outside and a good father and husband inside.”

"He always handles everything related to him with his most ordinary side, and proves to everyone that he is not only the founder of Tengying Group, but also an indispensable good entrepreneur of this era."

“Father… An’an seems to have grown up so much. This day has come so quickly.”

"I'd like to take a picture with you here."
