Turning thirty is an awkward age. Some people shine brightly and achieve glory at this age, while others find their lives a messy struggle.
Undoubtedly, Chen Pingsheng belonged to the latter....
Chapter 127: Buzzing
The online debate lasted for half a month.
Although many people scolded Zhao Liying to get out of the entertainment industry, Hua Qiangu's incident has become well-known to everyone.
I don't know where a large number of people who criticized her suddenly appeared from.
All kinds of entertainment scandals are overwhelming.
The subsequent editing of Hua Qiangu has not been completed yet and will not be completed until mid-September.
Hua Qiangu's investment auction conference is also scheduled for the last day of September.
Early September.
Chen Pingsheng sent his daughter Chen Anan from home to attend the second semester of the first grade.
The little brat is not willing to go out in his King Kong and wants to go out in his mother's LaFerrari to have a handsome and charming first day of school.
Chen Pingsheng rewarded her with a big bag and she behaved herself. Chen Anan sat in the passenger seat angrily and didn't say a word.
"I heard from your aunt that you practiced Mantis Fist for a month and lost a pound and a half?"
"Nonsense, it's clearly one catty and eight ounces."
Chen Anan was very proud.
Chen Pingsheng couldn't tell how she had lost weight; she still looked chubby and silly.
"Even if you lose two kilograms, the effect won't be obvious."
"It's obvious. I used to eat three bowls of rice, but now I can eat three and a half bowls."
Well, it’s a good thing if you eat more and lose weight.
When we arrived at the school gate, the school held parent-child activities as usual on the first day.
Last year, Chen Anan made a big fool of herself on the show, and this year she is determined to make up for it with the talent show.
A set of Fat Mantis Fist was delivered with great force.
Chen Pingsheng didn't laugh, but everyone else did.
Chen Anan ran down and asked, "Dad, what are they laughing at?"
"Of course, Xiaoni is the better fighter."
"Nonsense." Chen Anan didn't believe it herself.
Chen Pingsheng stood in front of her and straightened her wrinkled school uniform. "Okay, if other people laugh at you, that's their business. Why bother with it? Just do what you like."
Chen Anan was dejected and said without confidence: "Dad, am I really good at punching?"
"Well, how could my daughter be bad at boxing?"
Chen Pingsheng touched her head, and Chen Anan laughed: "Dad, I will work hard."
"Remember what you said."
"That's for sure." Chen Anan encouraged herself: "This year I must rely on my own strength to get into the bottom three."
Chen Pingsheng: “…”
It would have been better if she hadn't said this. Look at how she swore to work hard.
He thought that this meant he would be in the top three in the class.
The result is still the countdown?
"Chen Anan, study hard and practice martial arts. If you lose a pound, Dad will reward you with 200,000 yuan."
"Thank you, Dad."
Chen Anan waved goodbye to him reluctantly.
After her father left, another group of little friends gathered around and shouted, "Sister An An."
Chen Anan decisively brought the backpack, which was almost as big as her, in front of her and unzipped it.
All snacks.
"Wow, Sister An An, didn't you say you wanted to lose weight?"
"Why lose weight? Being able to eat is a blessing. Don't even think about sharing more of my snacks."
Chen Anan handed each of them a small packet.
There is everything, spicy strips, chocolate, small cookies, and a box of cherries and big cherries that she must bring every day.
Chen Pingsheng himself is also going to attend the CEO class. The three-day course is from the 2nd to the 4th of this month.
He Bijun and his friends all came to Beijing on the 1st, along with Liu Hai, a real estate developer from the north, and Huang Bin, who was also involved in the sharing economy.
Unexpectedly, Tong Zelan sent a party notice in the class group.
If we talk about someone who can gather the whole class together at once, she is definitely the number one, and the second is Wang Yanfeng.
The party was held in her private club in Beijing, which was very secretive and not accessible to ordinary people.
In addition to the top-notch private banquet restaurant, there is also an antique tea room, a gymnasium, a swimming pool and more.
"Ze Lan."
Huang Pujun was the first to rush up and say hello. Tong Zelan responded with a very calm expression, just out of basic politeness.
"It's great that you have such a nice place in the capital."
Chen Pingsheng looked around and thought everything was fine.
"If you like it, I'll sell it to you."
Although Tong Zelan would not invest in the industries that Chen Pingsheng was engaged in, they were at a similar level after all.
The communication is obviously much more casual.
"I don't have the habit of taking away what others like."
Chen Pingsheng found a place to sit down. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was a small bridge and flowing water. Inside, there was a special cheongsam waiter who was responsible for making tea in an antique style.
It is a very elegant hobby in the world.
"Dear classmates, it's been a month since we last met. Do you have any good news to share?"
“This one really exists.”
Wang Yanfeng said maliciously, "A few days ago, I saw someone online valuing their company at 3 billion. I went home and used an abacus to calculate it, but I couldn't figure out how they came up with that estimate. I thought it was my fault, so I asked people online, but no one could figure it out. They say things like a toad eating an elephant or sitting in a well looking at the sky. Isn't that funny?"
Apart from himself, Huang Pujun was the only one in the class who laughed twice, because everyone knew he was talking about Chen Pingsheng.
These two guys in the class are notoriously at odds with each other, so if they want to make trouble, let them do whatever they want.
"Haha, let me tell you a joke too."
Chen Pingsheng said calmly, "Last year I invested in a drama, which just finished filming last month. I was originally planning to spend tens of millions on publicity and promotion, but who knew that some people were really like Tang Monk crossing the river, wanting to help everyone they met, and they actually helped me save tens of millions in publicity costs."
"This kind-hearted person deserves a fool award."
Tong Zelan also laughed now. Even if she didn't watch the news, she knew that these two guys were overwhelmingly trending on the Internet.
"If you two keep fighting like this, I'm afraid the onlookers will get tired of watching."
Wang Yanfeng snorted coldly without saying anything, while Tong Zelan looked at Chen Pingsheng and said:
"You're really bold. You've already given your artist 20 million before the copyright has even been sold, and you've even distributed red envelopes to the entire company."
"I have to say you made a brilliant move, but does Hua Qiangu really give you that much confidence?"
Chen Pingsheng: "None of them can fight. Whenever it is broadcast, it will become popular."
Tong Zelan nodded. It is a good thing to have confidence, but don't overdo it. She didn't dwell on this topic too much.
Then he said, "The sharing economy is very popular this year. I don't know if you have seen it."
Old Yang, who runs a hotel, said, "Shared bikes, shared umbrellas, and I've even seen something even more bizarre: shared girlfriends. If this thing really works, I, Old Yang, will be the first to invest."
"Come on, it's your turn to vote for such a good thing."
Sex is the first major consumer productivity of men.
Whoever can get this project approved will become extremely popular.
What is a shared girlfriend? Isn’t it that I can share your girlfriend with you by spending a little money?
Jokes aside, the sharing economy is really popular.
I don't know who brought up this concept.
“I did invest in a shared bike company last month, and it’s still in the early angel round.”
Tong Zelan said, "If you want to invest, you can. Based on the 300 million valuation from the Series A round, we'll dilute 35% of our shares and raise around 100 million."
Old Yang said, "One hundred million is too little. Even if we all pool our money together, it wouldn't be enough."
Among the more than 20 people in the class, except for Huang Pujun who found it difficult to get a few million by looking for a rich man, everyone else could do it easily.
Tong Zelan's appeal is still very strong. She invested five million in the angel round and holds a 49% stake.
Now, if you talk about it at a class reunion, the valuation will increase thirty times.
This is the circle of contacts.
Seeing that Chen Pingsheng was the only one who remained silent, Tong Zelan asked, "Old Chen, why don't you invest a little?"
Chen Pingsheng shook his head: "I don't care. Last month, my wife's cousin also sold several houses to fund this project and jumped off a building."
Han Fei's death was really not worth it.
The reason for the failure has not yet been determined.
With only a few houses sold, can he compete with a top investor like Tong Zelan?
Of course, the person who was able to get Tong Zelan to invest also had an extraordinary background.
The president of the Peking University Student Union, who brought him to meet Tong Zelan, is also a very prestigious person in the business circle.
Only then did we receive Tong Zelan's 5 million angel round of funding.
People of her status will of course not only invest money, but also provide strong support in the subsequent development of the project.
Tong Zelan looked at him strangely, not feeling sorry for the death of his wife's cousin.
In their circle, people often experience heaven one night and hell the next.
She was just wondering, since Chen Pingsheng's wealth certainly didn't make him a top-tier billionaire, it was still easy for him to come up with hundreds of millions.
Didn’t his wife’s cousin start the shared bike business without his support?
If that's the case, it's pretty fierce.
