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 175 Low Inventory

Chapter 175 Low Inventory

Song Yanxi knows all of this very well.

She just didn't know why Song Shuiqing said this.

Stock trading is different now than before. In the past, you had to find traders in the stock market to buy stocks, but now you can trade directly on your mobile phone.

Very convenient.

"Shuiqing, you're not going to learn how to trade stocks, are you?"

"No, I don't have that kind of money."

Song Shuiqing saw that his junior year was almost over, and after September he would be in his senior year.

At that time, everyone had to go for internships and look for jobs.

"Cousin, can I apply to intern at your house?"

"Come and do an internship with us?"

Song Yanxi looked at her husband and asked curiously, "Which company do you want to go to?"

"Any one will do. There are so many companies out there now. As long as I can get an internship, that's all."

“Is that so?”

This was not difficult to arrange. Chen Pingsheng simply let her go to Tengying, where the work was the easiest.

Song Shuiqing most wanted to go to Tencent Film Studio because there were many big stars there.

Yang fans are all there and can chase stars anytime.

When the family drove back, Liu Fen invited many relatives to come home.

The main purpose is to exchange recent stock trading experiences. With the current market conditions, what is there to discuss? Everything you buy will go up in price.

Chen Pingsheng always felt that the stock market was rising too fast.

Everything has its limits.

Of course, he had nothing to worry about, he just bought one Vanke stock.

No matter how the stock market changes, how much impact can it have on him?

"Daughter, do you want to take out some money to invest in stocks?"

Liu Fen knew that Song Yanxi had at least 100 million yuan in funds, and this year she had invested her money in the Shuiyunjian storefront.

That's basically no big expense.

She said this mainly because the current stock market conditions are so good.

Putting your money in the stock market is always better than putting it in a bank.

Song Yanxi didn't listen to her. When the stock market is good, it is naturally good. Once it is bad, it is difficult to get the money out.

"I'll let it go. Just take it easy and have some fun."

After thinking about it, Song Yanxi was too lazy to persuade him.

The main reason is that the total amount of money her mother has is about the same as the watch in her granddaughter's hand.

It looks like a lot, but it’s actually not much.

"What a pity! If Yanxi had started investing in stocks last year, she would have at least doubled her earnings."

"What a pity! Her family doesn't make much money, so they wouldn't even consider this."

This is also true. With her level of wealth, there is really no need for her to watch the stock market every day.

Liu Fen ignored her daughter and continued to study every day.

The small goal is clear, and I want to earn a house this year by doing this.

The bull market attracts countless people to open accounts every day.

No one knows exactly when the price will rise.

Anyway, those who bought Storm Technology before are now going crazy.

When will this effect be achieved?

It was listed on March 24th and hit the daily limit for dozens of times in a row.

The stock price rose from 7 yuan per share to 300 yuan per share in less than two months.

The two hot stocks in 2015 are this one and LeEco.

Chen Pingsheng, who only bought Vanke, remained as steady as an old dog and never thought of moving it.

The day passed quickly and it was May 8th.

Chen Pingsheng went to the fifth floor of Tengying to attend the first financial report of Tenghui Department Store one and a half months after its opening.

Currently, Tenghui Department Store’s total investment in Beijing is approximately 1.5 billion.

It includes a super large logistics warehouse, three opened Tenghui department stores, and a department store hypermarket that is under renovation and is expected to open in June.

Shen Chengjun has many years of management experience in chain department stores, while Lin Jia is still in charge of the marketing department of Tenghui.

"Mr. Chen, this is the change in customer traffic at Tenghui Department Store from mid-March to the May Day holiday."

The data is very detailed.

It can be clearly seen that Tenghui Department Store opened in mid-March and opened during the May Day holiday.

The flow of people showed a slight upward trend until the May Day holiday when there was a big surge.

Tenghui Department Store, which has completely inherited Tengsheng’s full range of fresh food products, still has a huge advantage in terms of customer flow.

Based on the current situation, Tenghui expects to achieve full profitability before August.

This is normal. Hypermarkets and large supermarkets all have a period of growth.

The main thing is to accumulate customers.

This is considered fast for them, after all, they had the double publicity from Yang Mi and Zhao Liying in the early stage.

What’s more, the storefront is your own, so you don’t need to pay high rent.

After the cost is saved, the profit space will naturally emerge.

According to Shen Chengjun's estimation, Tenghui's current low-price, high-quality strategy has a very good reputation among customers.

If this continues, profitability is only a matter of time.

Under normal circumstances, the annual profit of a Tenghui Department Store with good business is expected to be around 60 million.

It cannot be compared with Shuiyunjian, but its advantage lies in long-term stability.

If he could open 25 stores within two years, his family would truly have one foot in the ranks of the wealthy.

It is still very stable, which is not easy.

"good."

Chen Pingsheng carefully checked the specific sales situation of each major item in the hypermarket.

Overall, fresh food is still the most consumed item.

The second is daily necessities.

As for clothing, shoes and hats, electrical appliances, etc.

Sales haven't really picked up yet, and it's mainly a trust issue.

Customer reputation takes a long time to accumulate.

Although they mark the purchase price on each product, customers feel it is very fresh.

But the majority of people still do not trust.

All I can say is that it will take time to prove it.

It is worth mentioning that the three-day no-reason return policy has won great praise from customers.

But it also caused considerable operating costs.

The main reason is that there are still some people who specifically come to take advantage of this and use it many times.

This is a typical case of malicious taking advantage.

Shen Chengjun’s suggestion is to put this group of people directly on the blacklist.

Chen Pingsheng decided to wait and see. Of course, department stores could not resell the returned goods.

This has caused considerable losses in terms of costs.

But there are also benefits, such as a pair of sneakers that sell quite well.

The styles are good, but the return rate is extremely high.

After investigation by the marketing department, it was found that the buyers deliberately used cheap shoes when purchasing goods.

All for the sake of getting a 30% kickback.

If he earns one million a year, he alone will get three hundred thousand.

The case has now been reported to the police.

Tenghui is newly opened, and there are still many problems.

Returns are the hardest part of discovering product quality.

Any product with a high return rate basically has problems.

Of course, high-priced electronic products are different. If there are no obvious quality problems when you buy electronic products.

Will not accept returns, prices are too high.

If this kind of thing can be returned easily, many people would consider borrowing an expensive laptop from them to use for two days.

The goods returned by young people usually have quality issues.

Many middle-aged and elderly people who come to retire really just want to take advantage.

For example, if there is a big red watermelon and only the rind is left, he will give it to you and tell you that the watermelon is not sweet.

Refund.

The rules set by the chairman are hung on the doorplate of Tenghui Department Store, and everything is centered on customer satisfaction.

These people retreated several times and found that it really worked.

I also bought cherries, cantaloupes, imported durian, etc.

Anyway, I bought it in the morning and returned it after eating it in the afternoon.

As long as you can get something for nothing, shamelessness doesn't exist at all.

This reminded Chen Pingsheng of the time when he used to sell durian at a stall and he would often encounter people like this.

These elderly people are basically from Beijing, and their bottom line is that they have no bottom line at all.

The fruit sector has become their hardest hit area.

It was not enough for him to come by himself, he also proudly told his friends about it.

Therefore, Shen Chengjun applied to directly block these people.

Tenghui offers return benefits, but that doesn’t mean they can come and eat for free or get it for free.

Chen Pingsheng told him not to rush to block him.

The bottom line of this kind of person is absolutely beyond imagination. Once he gets used to eating it, he will take it for granted.

If you block him, he will sleep at your door all day.

First collect their return videos, and if they make a fuss, hand them over to the police directly.

To be honest, we now live in a society ruled by law. People who run physical stores are not afraid of hooligans, but they are afraid of encountering unscrupulous deadbeats.

Of course, Chen Pingsheng has plenty of ways to deal with such people.

In the first six months, Tenghui Department Store will still have to keep its doors open and accept reasonable supervision from customers.

Let them help pick out inferior products and catch the purchasing staff who take kickbacks.

This is very important.

Without customer supervision, things will only get worse.

After listening to the financial report of Tenghui Department Store.

Chen Pingsheng went to Tengying downstairs.

Now that she has disappeared, the funds have been secured and the project is still in preparation.

It will take one to two months to start filming.

Yang Mi took advantage of this time and took on a variety show.

She is the queen of topics, and there are many variety show projects that invite her.

She really works non-stop to make money.

Of course, it can also help him make some money.

After all, Tengying can also take 10% of her program recording fee.

The prerequisite is to provide her with sufficient film resources.

Last October.

Zhao Liying took on a role in a spy drama set in the Republic of China, in which she played a talented girl.

He invested 40 million in this drama and sold the exclusive broadcast rights a few days ago.

One hundred million came back today.

It can be considered as giving him some blood back.

There are still three TV series that he invested in last year that have not yet made a profit.

One of them is Yang Mi's Love in Three Worlds, in which he invested 50 million yuan.

Shishi’s Romance in the Wind, 30 million.

Another one is Zhao Yao by our own artist Bai Lu, which grossed 60 million yuan.

The three dramas together can generate about 350 million in revenue.

If we add the Charlotte movie, Tencent Pictures' financial report this year is bound to be very impressive.

It will definitely shock the circle.

There was a reason why he could easily sell 10% of Tencent's shares for 500 million.

Without outstanding achievements, how could we possibly get these 500 million yuan in funding?

You have to know that this is not financing, it is simply Tong Zelan buying 10% of the shares from him.

After finishing filming, Zhao Liying returned from Hengdian, Zhejiang, the largest film and television center in China.

This time she came back with a script that she had already liked, a modern idol drama.

Chen Pingsheng used the golden finger to test it and found that the rate of return was as high as 350%.

Decisively invest 90 million in it.

The production costs of modern idol dramas are much lower than those of fantasy dramas.

The main reason is that there is no need for special effects, and the biggest production cost is the actors' salaries.

The shooting time does not need to be too long.

Since most of the films Zhao Liying filmed were invested by Tencent Pictures, she had a particularly high say in the crew.

Zhao Liying was exhausted and wanted to rush over to film again, but Chen Pingsheng asked her to take a rest.

"Don't be so anxious. Why don't you stay a few days before leaving this time?"

"No, Brother Chen, wait until I finish filming this before considering taking a few days off."

Zhao Liying is not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense. On the contrary, she always speaks sincerely.

Maybe it doesn't sound that nice, but it's definitely her true feelings.

Chen Pingsheng poured her a cup of tea and said, "My little daughter will be one year old on the 28th. I want to keep you in Beijing for a while."

"Brother Chen, look."

Zhao Liying took out a golden anklet from her bag and said happily, "I made this for Xiao Xinyi over there in advance. It has a horse on it."

Chen Xinyi was born in 2014, which means she is a horse.

"You're thoughtful."

Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "Since you are so busy, I will ask Yanxi to have dinner with you tonight, and I will tell you two more things."

"What's the matter, Brother Chen?"

"About Bobo Milk Tea."

Chen Pingsheng said, "I only own 30% of this company. The total investment is currently around 60 million. We already have over 100 franchise stores. We expect to be listed by the end of the year. After Hua Qian Gu airs, we will also collaborate with it. We'll need your cooperation then. Here are some shares I'm giving you."

Zhao Liying took it and took a look, and found that the shares were as much as 8%.

If Bobo Milk Tea can be successfully listed, this part of the shares will be worth at least more than 100 million.

It is a very considerable income.

The pay she gets from Tencent Film is actually not high, mainly because the dramas are all invested by her own family.

If I take too much, I always feel the cost is too high.

Now that Brother Chen has given her this 8% stake, it looks like she will once again be at the top of the entertainment industry's income rankings this year.

Zhao Liying smiled sweetly, "Thank you very much, Brother Chen."

Chen Pingsheng has always felt that her acting skills are outstanding among the new generation of young actresses.

She can play any role well and easily make the audience put themselves into the role she plays.

It will also make the audience believe that this is how she should play the role.

Only in this way can the future be limitless.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Pingsheng drove the Maybach S680 with Zhao Liying, and then picked up his cousin Jiang Peiyao and Bai Xin.

Let’s go to Boiled Lamb and eat together.

Feiyangyang in Beijing has done very well.

It has almost become synonymous with good quality and low price, whether among young customers or among middle-aged and elderly consumer groups.

Feiyangyang has an excellent reputation.

Every time Zhao Liying returns to Beijing, she likes to eat here.

But she is quite famous now, so she needs to deliberately cover up whenever she goes out.

Mask, hat, big sunglasses, the three-piece set is essential.

This is the inconvenience of being a celebrity.

Yang Mi is even more exaggerated.

Once "Flowers in the Sky" is broadcast, Zhao Liying will probably be on par with Yang Mi.

After the four of them arrived at the private room, Chen Pingsheng called Chang Fu and Zhang Tao again.

It’s a pity that Gao Hu is not in the capital now. He was driven away to Guangdong.

Responsible for market expansion there.

"Liying, we will be able to complete the C round in June, and I will go to Shanghai then."

"Okay, Shanghai is very close to Zhejiang. Brother Chen, if you go there, I'll treat you to a meal."

Zhao Liying smiled very happily.

When Zhang Tao and Chang Fu drove over, Zhao Liying already knew Zhang Tao.

At that time, they lived in a rental house together, and they often sold goods and had meals together.

Now Tengsheng Fruit has become one of the best fruit brands in Beijing.

Although Zhang Tao cannot compare with him, he is definitely a winner in life in terms of income.

As for Chang Fu, he is still running his live broadcast guild.

This year, we recruited more than a dozen beautiful female anchors, and our annual income is steadily exceeding 10 million.

I can also give him eight or nine million.

A very successful little project.

"Old Chen, I finally get to meet your legendary senior sister from Tengying."

Chang Fu sat next to Chen Pingsheng. After Yang Qian became the CEO of Bobo Milk Tea, she flew all over the country.

There are only a handful of days in a month when I can return to the capital.

Maybe I will have a little more free time after it goes public.

Yang Qian herself also enjoys this feeling of being busy.

When I worked in the government before, my daily work was basically repetitive.

But in that place, no matter how rich the boss is, he will still be a lot shorter than others.

Unless they are truly influential and can bring significant economic impact to the local area.

Otherwise, you have to stand up and offer tea to everyone you meet.

"It's rare for Liying to come back to Beijing, so please don't scare her."

Chen Pingsheng introduced them to each other. All three of them were married.

Zhang Tao married a college student, and Chang Fu’s wife is now the CEO of Bobo Milk Tea.

Zhao Liying has always been concentrating on filming, and she leaves other matters to the company.

"Brother Chen, why don't you call sister-in-law and An An over for dinner!"

"She has to stay home and take care of the kids."

Chen Pingsheng said, "You may not know this, but An An's grades are terrible right now. If you say she's naughty, she's very sensible. If you say she's not naughty, she's capable of all sorts of shit."

"Ah?" Zhao Liying used to often take care of Xiao An An in the rental house, and they had a very good relationship.

"Wasn't An An very obedient before?"

"She's obedient now. She won't hesitate to do anything you ask her to do. It's just that her imagination is a bit overactive."

Chen Pingsheng asked her, "By the way, are you used to filming in Hengdian, Zhejiang?"

She is rarely asked about this. Unless the filming is completed, Zhao Liying will only return to Beijing once every few months.

She is naturally used to filming and is often so busy that she has no time to sleep.

There are a lot of interesting things happening on the set.

Zhao Liying also told them some interesting stories about filming, which Chen Pingsheng found quite interesting.

When she goes there again, he wants to arrange for Jiang Peiyao to stay with her.

Jiang Peiyao has studied diligently at Tencent Film for more than a year. She is still young and started from a supporting role by following her side.

The starting point is also very high.

Bai Lu is now also linked to Zhao Liying's studio, and then Jiang Peiyao will be linked there.

She is equivalent to taking care of two new people, although the initial training requires her to spend some time and effort.

After you become famous, you can enjoy the huge profits they bring.

Tengying still uses the master-apprentice system to train new talents.

Yang Mi hasn't started picking new people yet, but she wants to poach the silly Dilraba Dilmurat.

It is under the name of her personal studio.

Zhao Liying actually wanted to bring Jiang Peiyao with her for a long time, because she is really beautiful.

This is all a gift from God.

Secondly, she is Chen Pingsheng's cousin, so she has to be taken care of in every way.

"Brother Chen, I've wanted to take Pei Yao there with me for a long time, but I was afraid you wouldn't want to go."

"Why should she be reluctant? She has to adapt to the outside environment now."

Jiang Peiyao was indeed a little reluctant to leave, as she had become accustomed to living in the capital.

Everything is fine and there is nothing to worry about.

Now that I have gone to Zhejiang Film and Television City, I can be said to have truly entered the entertainment industry.
