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 240 March Spring

Spring is here and flowers are blooming, March is here.

After the temperature rose to around 10 degrees Celsius every day, Chen Pingsheng added a piece of thermal underwear inside his handsome shirt that no one could see.

His sister-in-law Song Wu returned to Beijing earlier than him. Liu Fen said that her sister caught her in the room and scolded her for the whole morning.

Song Yanxi was so angry that she used Tencent's resources to delete all the photos of Song Wu taken at that entertainment industry event.

Not a single one is allowed to appear in public.

Seriously speaking, this is the first time Song Wu has worn something so revealing.

Chen Pingsheng, who secretly complained, pretended to know nothing.

No matter who asked him, he didn't know.

After Liu Yifei signed with Tencent Film, he now has three of the most capable actresses among the 85 flowers.

The other two are already married, so it doesn't matter whether they sign or not.

Last year, we invested in so many big dramas, and most of them were scheduled for the summer vacation.

There is no one else like him.

However, starting from March, movies produced entirely by Tencent Pictures have been released one after another.

March 7th is Chen Sicheng’s "Detective Chinatown 1".

We invested 80 million last year.

The May Day file is Chen Teng's "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

Another film to be released in the summer is Chen Sicheng's "The Vanishing One".

Before we knew it, Tencent Film Entertainment was dominating the film market in the first half of 2016.

I'm really looking forward to it. After this wave, it's possible that Tencent Entertainment's stock price will rise to 50 billion.

With such conditions, does he still need his sister-in-law to wear low-cut clothes to attract attention?

Even if you stand there dressed as a beggar, no one would dare to say no.

They just find different ways to flatter you.

Song Wu's performance in the entertainment industry is actually quite acceptable. After all, he has been a minor supporting actor for two years.

It was not until two years later at her birthday party that Chen Pingsheng publicly acknowledged her identity.

It also means that she can run rampant in the entertainment industry with the Tengying label.

Anyone who dares to take advantage of her will be banned immediately.

After Song Wu came out of her sister's room listlessly, Song Yanxi was still full of energy.

I wish I could drag her in and scold her for another half hour.

It’s really satisfying to catch your own sister and scold her as you like.

"Brother-in-law."

Song Wu called out to him, but Chen Pingsheng pretended to know nothing. "What have you done wrong? Why did your sister take you home and criticize you?"

"Nothing."

Song Wu was so embarrassed. She had clearly seen her brother-in-law before. She was so exposed that he must have seen it all.

"Have you been in a lot of drama lately?"

"My sister doesn't allow me to take on too many roles. She asked me to rest at home for a while."

When Song Wu came to the capital, he also lived in their courtyard house. It had a large courtyard with four entrances and exits and so many rooms.

There is no way to live here completely.

"It's good to take a break for a while."

Chen Pingsheng was lying in his rocking chair, ready to take a nap, when Song Yanxi dragged him into the room and scolded him.

The main point is that he saw his sister-in-law like this and he didn't do anything about it.

These are all her excuses.

She thought she couldn't hear it.

It's obvious that what he wants to say is that attending such a conference is a feast for the eyes.

I secretly told him to go there less often in the future. Women are really narrow-minded.

If she finds the chance, she will talk to you about this kind of thing.

"Xiao Wu is your biological sister, and I'm her brother-in-law, so I can't interfere too much." Chen Pingsheng explained quickly.

"Why are you so difficult to manage? I've found a few suitable families for her. Come and help me choose one."

Song Yanxi took out some photos from the drawer and introduced them to Chen Pingsheng one by one.

The first one was twenty-nine years old and looked okay.

His family is in real estate, and their conditions aren't as good as his, but they also have billions in assets.

The second family sells liquor and their conditions are also good.

The third family produces daily necessities and also has assets worth more than ten billion.

Chen Pingsheng asked her curiously, "Where did you get so many rich second-generations of similar age?"

Song Yanxi rolled her eyes at him. "I've been looking for someone since last year. These are all clients from Shuiyunjian. After hearing that my sister was single, they rushed to propose marriage. After choosing so much, these are the only ones left."

“They are all rich second-generations.”

"What else?"

Song Yanxi said, "My mom, Liu Fen, said that last year, our family spent over 100 million yuan on Chen Qi's wedding. This year, no matter what, I can't find someone who has nothing."

Chen Pingsheng thought about it and agreed, but he felt that his younger sister was quite happy now, although Hu Lin didn't fit in at the Education Bureau.

He was soon demoted to the grassroots level, but the simplicity in him was very real.

You can't ignore his sincerity towards Chen Qi just because he is not tactful enough.

At least the couple's relationship is very good now.

People like Hu Lin are only suitable to be good teachers for grassroots people.

If he were given a chance to go to the Education Bureau, he would be quickly rejected because of the substantial gifts he gave.

When others go to the leader's house, they always bring golden apples.

He is so well off and his wife is so rich, so he went to pick up some real apples.

You say your leader doesn't allow you to go to the grassroots level, so who does he allow to go to the grassroots level?

"Okay, why don't you just let Xiao Wu choose slowly?"

"I'm going to let her go on a blind date today. No one in the entertainment industry is reliable. After she gets engaged, I plan to let her quit the entertainment industry."

"You'd better ask her what she means."

Chen Pingsheng said: "Your sister still likes acting very much. She has studied it for so many years. If you ask her to give up suddenly, she will definitely not listen to you."

"Okay, let's talk about this later."

Song Yanxi took her sister to a blind date. For a blind date from a wealthy family like this, they would only choose someone with similar conditions.

That is to say, it is about whether the two families are well matched.

No matter how reluctant Song Wu was, she had to follow her sister.

She was given the opportunity to fall in love freely, but all the men who came to her were attracted by her background.

In that case, what are you looking for?

It’s better to follow your family and find a suitable match.

Chen Pingsheng was too lazy to care about his sister-in-law's blind dates. He would just wait until she found someone and then go and see her.

No wonder his wife wanted to keep Song Wu in Beijing for a while. It turned out that she was arranging a blind date for her.

March.

Spring recruitment in universities is about to begin.

As Tengying Group further expands its offline market, they will recruit a group of interns to join the group to add fresh blood.

Bai Xin brought a recruitment plan to him for his signature. This year, no one was smart enough to propose paying interns only 2,500 yuan.

Chen Pingsheng took a look and found that as Tenghui Department Store expanded its market in Shenzhen, Guangdong would need to add at least a team of 200 people.

In addition, a group office was established in Hong Kong, and two teams were transferred there.

After approval by the Human Resources Department, the total number of new recruits this time is approximately 1,200.

Not all of them will be in Beijing. Some of them will need to be transferred to Shanghai and Guangdong.

"Notify Qiuyan and have her lead the university recruitment efforts. Also, help her arrange a few speeches."

Chu Qiuyan is now extremely famous. Whenever she goes to a university to give a speech, the seats are always full.

"I'll notify them right away."

Bai Xin pulled out a cup of Lujiao Coffee's new milk coffee from the bag. "Uncle, this is the new Italian milk coffee that Qin Xue and Qiu Yan jointly developed. They sent it to you as soon as possible."

Chen Pingsheng took two sips.

The coffee is too bitter, but the milk is fragrant. The combination of the two seems pretty good.

I took a sip and it tasted okay.

“How did they make this?”

"This is a blend they make by combining espresso with rich milk."

Bai Xin said, "I heard them say that this taste was the optimal one they finally determined after mixing 100,000 cups."

One hundred thousand cups, that sounds exaggerated.

But you have to know that when the entire milk coffee R&D team exceeds 200 people, it is not an exaggeration at all.

The development of any new product requires the collection of customer data and taste analysis first.

Only then can specific solutions be given.

The R&D team has been established for more than half a month, and this is their first new milk coffee product.

"This will definitely be more popular with young people than traditional bitter coffee. Have them promote it in Shanghai first, and once they're sure it's popular in the market, then roll it out nationwide."

The reason for developing milk coffee is mainly to create a positioning gap with Starbucks.

Without its own characteristics, Lujiao Coffee will always lag behind others.

There are thousands of directly-operated stores, so they should have their own positioning and characteristics.

It is definitely impossible for the new product to be sold at 9.9 yuan again. It would be most appropriate to set the price at 15.8 yuan.

It’s neither too high nor too low, and it’s acceptable to young people.

It’s the price of a cup of milk tea.

"Bai Xin, have you noticed that you seem to have a lot of work recently?"

"Uncle, you finally found it."

Bai Xin could no longer work and be idle like before. The group had developed to this point, and the big boss only had her as a secretary. All the key documents or things that needed to be signed would be sent to her.

She also has to travel back and forth between Beijing and Haikou, which is completely too much for her.

"Uncle, I think you need to set up a special secretarial team. This secretarial team needs at least three people."

Three female secretaries?

Chen Pingsheng is often busy with various things, so it would be a good idea to set up a professional secretarial team.

But who should we recruit?

After all, they are all by his side, so it won’t do if they are too unfamiliar.

"Okay, you can send a notice within the group that the secretarial team can only be recruited internally."

Anyone who can become the secretary of a big boss has a very special status in the group.

There is still a candidate for Bai Xin. There is a suitable one among the new interns who came in last year.

Another one is a female graduate student who has been in the group for two years.

He has a high level of education, is very flexible and works very quickly.

Transfer them up first, and then train them for a period of time.

The main thing is to know your boss's habits well.

From small things like what kind of tea he likes to big things like emergencies in the group when the boss is not around, the secretary needs to be able to respond urgently.

In short, being the boss's secretary is beneficial in terms of both social status and income.

It can be said that they can cross social classes in one step.

She came early and did everything at that time. As she was working, she found that it was less than two years.

I have a house, a car, and money. I have everything.

It’s different now, the group has over 100,000 people.

If you want to be the boss's secretary, academic qualifications are a must.

For starting graduate students, English includes several major subjects, and all of them must be at the true academic level.

In addition to these, appearance must be at least nine points.

There's no way, the boss is still the top person in the entertainment industry.

His secretary must be absolutely good-looking.

Just these two points have screened out 99.99% of people.

To get the little bit left, you need to have high emotional intelligence, be able to get things done, and be flexible in your thinking, and meet a series of comprehensive conditions.

There isn't much left.
