The Birth of the Magic City's First Conglomerate

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 152 Meng Ziyi Sings

Chapter 152 Meng Ziyi Sings

Bai Xin went downstairs to ask for help.

They said they were coming to their company to be female artists, but in fact they were just two interns.

They are still studying at Beijing Film Academy.

They are not very old, probably around 20 years old, and one of them is the campus beauty of Beijing Film Academy.

To be the campus belle at Beijing Film Academy, one must have extraordinary looks.

She was not even selected as the campus beauty at the Film Academy.

It can be seen how good-looking one of them is.

It was difficult for her to remind him, mainly because she didn't know how to remind him.

You can't just tell her directly that the person sitting in the president's chair upstairs is a little girl of seven or eight years old!

This sounds ridiculous.

As a result, her mood was up and down when she went upstairs.

The two female interns went upstairs, and Chen Anan was still wearing her sunglasses.

No one taught her what a president should do.

Anyway, it feels pretty good.

She followed the classroom teachers' example and asked for names and ages as soon as they entered the room.

"How old are you two sisters and what are your names?"

Meng Ziyi was from the Film Academy after all. She looked around the president's office and the boss seemed to be the girl sitting in the middle.

There was also a man standing next to him who looked like a security guard.

Meng Ziyi subconsciously felt that this was a test of their acting skills.

Let’s act it out…Mr. Ziyi.

"Boss, my name is Meng Ziyi, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a student at the Beijing Film Academy."

"good."

Chen Anan was very happy, but she hadn't finished her performance yet, so she held it in and didn't say anything.

She turned her head and looked at the security guard beside her.

"Dad, reward."

"What reward? You need to be more specific."

Chen Anan coughed and asked curiously, "Sister, what do you want?"

What does she want?

Houses and cars, that's not realistic.

Meng Ziyi wasn't very smart, but she had a pretty face. She thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I'm a newcomer here, and I don't know what I want."

"In that case, I'll give you 10,000 yuan first."

Chen Anan waved her little hand and imitated the teacher's way of rewarding the children like them in class, giving them a small reward first.

Bai Xin immediately asked the finance department to bring in the money.

A thick stack of small banknotes came into his hands.

Meng Ziyi was a little confused.

"Sister, do you know the Mantis Fist?"

Mantis Fist, the one in Stephen Chow’s movies?

Meng Ziyi nodded: "A little bit."

"Ha, that's great, Dad will give you another 50,000."

He even knows her supreme martial arts, this must be rewarded.

Fifty thousand was obtained again.

Meng Ziyi was doubting her life. She just wanted to come here to do an internship during the winter vacation.

"Sister Ziyi, do you have any other talents? Sister Ziyi, just sing a song!"

Sing?

Isn't this the biggest dilemma for her?

Meng Ziyi cleared his throat and began to sing a few lines.

That singing.

It's completely inversely proportional to her appearance.

Bai Xin was dumbfounded. Her singing was already average enough, but she didn't expect this person was even more average than her.

This cannot be described as ordinary.

Sure enough, God is still very fair.

If I open such a beautiful window for you, I will ruthlessly close another door for you.

It is obvious that the singing voice of this school beauty Meng Ziyi is definitely the best in the entertainment industry.

Chen Anan giggled: "Sister, you are so talented. If my father says I have no singing talent again, you can sing in front of him. Teacher Bai, give this sister Ziyi another 100,000."

After getting the 100,000 yuan, Meng Ziyi was overwhelmed.

I always feel like I've come to the wrong place.

"Dad, I like this sister Ziyi, can you let her stay in our house?"

"Okay, Bai Xin, you can arrange it."

"How about it? Is being a CEO more interesting than your previous pretentious life?"

"Yeah, Dad, I'm going to be the president tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, you can come every day."

Chen Pingsheng took her home, and her mother Song Yanxi should have almost finished cooking.

As soon as the father and daughter left, Meng Ziyi immediately handed over the 160,000 yuan he had just obtained.

Bai Xin understood her, but she couldn't accept the money:

"This is a prize from our group's little princess, just take it!"

"But she's only seven or eight years old. Am I not cheating a little girl out of her money?"

Although Meng Ziyi's singing is a little bad, she is also a little too pretty.

But she is still kind.

"What's wrong with being seven or eight years old? You saw that the person standing next to her just now is the chairman of our group."

Bai Xin said, "Uncle's money is already very scarce. Hundreds of thousands of dollars is just like a dozen yuan for ordinary people. Since An An gave you this money as a reward, you have to take it."

"By the way, what are you guys doing here?"

Meng Ziyi originally wanted to come here for an internship and take advantage of the internship period to hone his acting skills.

But this time I always feel that this place seems to be too much of a joke.

They even did something like letting a seven or eight-year-old girl become a president.

This is probably going to lead to bankruptcy!

What if she just arrived and was labeled as a bankrupt company?

Wouldn’t it be difficult to survive in the entertainment industry in the future?

Meng Ziyi thought about it and finally refused.

Bai Xin followed her lead, since her family had no shortage of beautiful female artists.

Bai Lu was already preparing to go filming, but Jiang Peiyao had made even more advanced arrangements.

Movies and TV series together.

They all started as minor supporting roles.

Chen Anan was so happy when she returned home that she kept missing the domineering aura she had when she first became the president.

This is even better than the teachers who command these children in the classroom.

Not only was she excited, she also wanted to hug her sister Chen Xinyi and get excited together.

Half-year-old Chen Xinyi can sit on the bed by herself, but she can't sit for too long, otherwise she will fall asleep with drooling.

He was holding a small rattle in his hand, shaking it and laughing.

"Dad, you said I'll be a female CEO when I grow up. What will Xinyi be when she grows up?"

"She's still so young. Let's wait until she's your age."

"That's great." Chen Anan chuckled, "I'm going to cultivate her domineering spirit from now on."

"Come on, you're not allowed to teach Xinyi these nonsense."

"Then I must teach her my unique Mantis Fist."

"You should practice to the ninety-ninth level first."

The big brat just has no awareness.

I always thought I had a talent for martial arts, and I would set up a martial arts stage for her when I returned to my rural hometown.

Let those little brats who have been running around in the countryside since childhood teach her how to behave.

People in the city are a little spoiled, but it’s completely different in the countryside.

This year, my eldest sister and her family will definitely go back, as will their own family.

I'm going to buy a Mercedes-Benz V-Class again. That kind of car is the most comfortable for long-distance travel.

Just like last year, traveling while going home.

By the way, take the newborn baby to see the beautiful scenery.

Chen Pingsheng thought so in his heart, and went to discuss it with Song Yanxi in the evening.

It will still take me a month to prepare to go home this year.

Big Brat will leave during the holidays and come back when school starts.

After this year, their family may move to a courtyard house in the second ring road by next summer.

At that time, I will also help Chen Anan transfer to a better school.

With her grades, it would probably be the same no matter which school she goes to.

It's nothing more than dropping from third from the bottom to first again.

Then you won't have to worry about her regressing.

How nice.

Mid-November.

The CEO class started as scheduled.

More than twenty middle-aged CEOs gathered together again.

If we were to say who has changed the most in the past month, it would undoubtedly be Wang Yanfeng.

As one of the top rich second-generations in the country, this guy is extremely popular on the Internet.

Now he is eyeing the trend and investing in a large live broadcast platform.

Unlike Changfu, Changfu runs a guild that relies on major live streaming platforms for survival.

However, what Wang Yanfeng did was to directly establish a platform-based live broadcast APP.

Aims to become the largest online platform in the live streaming industry.

As soon as it was established, it spent a lot of money to recruit countless well-known anchors.

The most famous one among them is known by many boys.

Park Nimai from Korea had a very popular live video on the domestic short video network in 2012.

Wearing a policewoman's hat and biting a small ribbon, anyone who sees her will understand her endless temptation.

The key is that there are fewer pieces of clothing.

You know.

Coupled with Wang Yanfeng's own popularity on the Internet, the Tomcat platform has been favored by major capitals since its launch.

There is a trend of dividing the live broadcast industry into three parts.

Wang Yanfeng's face was flushed. He spoke frankly and did not hide his pride at all.

He even directly mocked Chen Pingsheng for being petty and running a milk tea shop!

Not to mention anything else, who in their class doesn't have a net worth of hundreds of millions.

With such status, Chen Pingsheng is the only one who can still run a milk tea shop.

"Chen Pingsheng, I think next time our classmates go out to eat, you should go out and sit at the table with the children."

This guy is so proud of himself.

The Tomcat platform was valued at 2 billion when it was first established, so he does have the capital to be arrogant.

However, Chen Pingsheng never believed that he could do this well.

There is only one reason, the live streaming platform really needs to be able to grow big.

BAT cannot just sit back and do nothing, considering the current momentum of Big Penguin and Alibaba.

When this industry hasn't started to gain momentum, you small players are allowed to make trouble first.

When it grows up, the big penguin will come down himself.

He didn't know what the Wang cubs had to compete with the big penguin.

Of course, the Wang family has the final say in the commercial real estate sector, but in the Internet sector, he has not found a company that can compete with BAT.

Join or go bankrupt.

Choose one!

"Xiao Wang, don't be complacent. I can at least make a few small profits from milk tea business. But you should be careful not to lose all your money from Tomcat business."

"You farted."

Wang Yanfeng snorted at him. Everyone in the class knew that they had a bad relationship.

He just didn't believe that he could lose money by doing live streaming.

Chen Pingsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He was not the only one in the class who had made great progress. Liu Hai acquired a piece of land worth 2.8 billion yuan in the north.

We plan to build a high-end villa area in that place.

After leaving the international investment bank, Tong Zelan founded Honglan Capital in Shanghai.

In less than a month, more than a dozen projects were invested.

This includes his Bobo milk tea.

There is also He Bijun, who raises pigs. He has made a lot of money as the national pig prices have soared.

BAT has already started to personally participate in the sharing economy. The sharing concept is not limited to bicycles, but also includes umbrellas, power banks, and even silicone dolls have become popular.

Huang Bin, who focuses on the sharing economy, completed his Series D round with a valuation of 3 billion.

Not only that, the stock market has soared across the board, and even a cleaning lady outside can make money by buying with her eyes closed.

The stock market, real estate, hotels, tourism, Internet, etc. are all rising.

Just when the economy was booming and everything was going well.

However, a major event occurred in the domestic market that shocked the business world.

Li Ka-shing, known as the God of Investment in Hong Kong, actually accelerated his withdrawal from domestic real estate this year.

Many people may not know how great Li Ka-shing is. He is involved in diversified industries. Let alone the risks, he really makes money in whatever he does.

When the Hong Kong property market hit rock bottom several times, he was able to quickly buy at the bottom and succeed.

in the country, people have been buying land at low prices since the 1990s.

Most of the money made in domestic real estate comes from crazy leverage.

Li Ka-shing of Hong Kong is different. He doesn't use leverage at all.

They don't really build any houses, just set up a few excavators and waste time.

Wait until the land value goes up before selling.

No houses are built at all.

Such a giant actually withdrew its investment so quickly under such circumstances.

It's not just one or two dollars that are being spent, but a full-scale investment.

Whether it is land or commercial real estate, all are sold at low prices.

No matter what people on the Internet think of his behavior, business is business, for those of them in the business world.

The signal sent by Lao Li's withdrawal of investment this time is too obvious.

After all, he has a famous saying: never make the last penny.

Safety first.

At a time when the domestic economic situation is so prosperous, there is such a forward-thinking business tycoon.

It actually announced its withdrawal from the mainland market.

The signal here is too strong.

After all, Lao Li's vision has never been wrong.

Otherwise, how could he have always been the richest man in China and even in Asia.

Those who are truly in the business world know this, unless you count the royal families that cannot be exposed.

Mr. Li from Xiangjiang is definitely firmly in the top spot as the richest man in China.

Whether it's cash or other assets, there are really few who can compare with him.

After all, he was a man who could withdraw more than 1 billion in cash at any time in the 1990s.

Who else in the mainland can do this?

"I think Lao Li has already figured out the domestic real estate situation."

"I abandon people who are crazy, and I take what they abandon. What do you think he is thinking?"

"No need to guess. Judging from his withdrawal this time, he is obviously no longer optimistic about domestic real estate."

Tong Zelan said, "It might take one or two years at the shortest, or three to five years at the longest. If there's a problem with the real estate market, it will really have a ripple effect on the entire system. Everyone, no matter what, it's best to reduce your debt in advance and prepare for the real estate downturn."

This woman even shouted out the slogan of the real estate winter.

The situation is not optimistic.

In fact, there are precedents abroad, such as Xiaoshi.

Didn’t the real estate market there collapse once?

House prices dropped by 90% within a year, and countless people committed suicide by jumping off buildings.

The economy regressed twenty years overnight.

A similar situation occurred in the United States in 2008. The global financial crisis in 2008 was caused by the subprime mortgage crisis caused by the two largest real estate companies in the United States.

This led to a stock market crash that affected the entire world.

Tong Zelan herself would never invest in real estate again, and in fact, many people have already tightened their monetary policy in this regard.

It’s just that the real estate issue has such a huge impact that you can’t just take it over if you want to.

Another key point is that everyone in the country is speculating in real estate, and this is going to be a real problem.

No one dared to think deeply about it.

Tong Zelan even specially created a small circle in the class in the evening to discuss the issue. In a nutshell.

Absolutely avoid any high leverage in the next few years.

Once there is a problem with real estate, housing prices will start to fall.

The banks have to prepare for the winter, let alone people like them.

A lot of information.

Anyway, she has reminded you, and whether you listen or not is entirely up to you.

She even made a special trip to Hong Kong last month and visited the Li and Zheng families in Hong Kong with her family elder.

The information we got was not very optimistic.

Everyone has almost said it out loud, but the turning point of real estate is about to come.

Now is the final madness.

The smart ones are quietly transferring their assets while others are going crazy.

Being able to log in safely is of utmost importance.

I can only say that Mr. Li from Hong Kong has made a huge move this time. Almost everyone who can reach that level wants to go to Hong Kong to visit him.

Don't underestimate the sense of smell of people in the business world. When something like this happens, everyone will have their own judgment.

It's just a different choice.

Most people who can reach that circle actually realize that housing prices cannot continue to rise endlessly.

No industry can maintain its prosperity for decades.

Knowing it is one thing, but whether you can log in safely is another question.

For example, the whole Internet was scolding Lao Li for withdrawing his investment this time.

Can ordinary people withstand it?
