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 528 Return

Although other relatives also wanted to get some resources from Chen Pingsheng to help themselves improve their class.

I always find it difficult to speak because of face.

Chen Qi is obviously the first one who is not ashamed but proud of digging up Ge's resources and taking pride in it.

What can I do when I only have one sister?

When Chen Pingsheng told her about Peng Qing, Chen Qi was not surprised, as she seemed to have known about it for a long time.

"She's quite down-to-earth. Hey, bro, she's been here for so long and you're just now paying attention to her. That's not right. Even if you had a little bit of cash flowing out of your fingernails, she wouldn't be running under the overpass to livestream every day."

"You think everyone is like you, opening your own store and poaching your brother and sister-in-law. When will people like you ever have your own success story?"

Chen Qi looked at him strangely and chuckled, "Brother, you're wrong. I never force myself to have any independent success experience. With such a good tree next to me, if I don't know how to hold on to it, wouldn't I be a fool?

"My sister-in-law's cheongsam artist is quite impressive. After she agreed to come to my place, several of her friends immediately came to order custom-made, hand-embroidered cheongsams. I offered them 600,000 yuan for each piece, and they didn't even bargain."

After saying this, Chen Qi was quite proud.

Chen Pingsheng snorted twice. His sister didn't have any independent thoughts at all.

For her, making money easily is the most important thing. No need for brains. Just tap into her brother and sister-in-law's resources.

My previous estimate that she could earn five or six million yuan a year from this cheongsam shop was obviously an underestimate.

Chen Pingsheng sat at her door without caring much about his image. He took out a bag of melon seeds from his pocket and slowly ate them.

"Is there any point in you making so much money? Your Hu Lin doesn't drink and doesn't socialize. I think you should save the money with your brother first."

"Tsk..." Chen Qi waved her hands. "You think I'm satisfied with this little money? My little Qilin is almost three years old. As his mother, I have to save billions for him."

As they were talking, a young couple, who looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, came to the door.

The woman fell in love with a cheongsam at first sight, while the man kept saying that cheongsams were too impractical.

Although it shows your figure when you wear it, it is hot in summer and cold in winter, so it is not suitable to wear at any time.

The woman looked at him for a long time, and when she left, she didn't even look at the man.

Chen Qi said, "This guy saved money on a cheongsam, but he's probably going to lose his girlfriend."

"It's just lost. It's not worth living with anyway."

The man's financial situation was obviously not very good, yet the woman was angry with him because he bought a cheongsam worth seven or eight thousand yuan.

Even if you find a girlfriend like this, it will be very tiring.

Most people who come to Nanjing Street have a certain consumption expectation.

Locals generally don't buy clothes in places like this, simply because the rent is too high.

A true high-end luxury private customization store would not open in such a location.

Chen Qi is an exception.

Those ready-made cheongsams are okay, they are not luxury goods.

For the stylish people in Shanghai, a cheongsam that costs several thousand yuan is simply not high-end.

It is simply not suitable for some high-end occasions.

People from other places like to come here to buy cheongsam styles, as Shanghai is also the place where cheongsam is most popular.

Many of the older generation here have elegance ingrained in their bones.

Chen Qi also talked about her eldest sister. She mainly sells bags and her business doesn’t have any special features.

Luggage and bags are something that makes huge profits. You don't need very good business to sell them for tens of thousands of yuan on a normal day.

You can easily make hundreds of thousands of yuan a month.

As for Chen Sai, she was very busy. If she hadn't reminded herself, she wouldn't even want to hire a few more people.

I always want to do everything by myself.

Lujiao Coffee is the cheapest place on this street. You can buy a cup of coffee for a few dozen dollars and sit at the door. No one will say anything even if you stay there all day.

Most of the outsiders who come to shop are very willing to do so.

The characteristics of Nanjing Street are not just shopping, but also experiencing the characteristics of the Republic of China here.

Experience the most prosperous cultural city in China. Foreign friends account for a small part of the population here.

English, which is useless in ordinary places, is a standard accent on Nanjing Street.

Whether they are foreign friends or people from China, they always like to add a few words of English in a sentence.

In their words, this is called Western style.

Even ordinary barber shops will give their barbers an English name.

Such as Tony, David, Andy and so on.

The exquisiteness of the Magic City radiates its brilliance from the inside out.

Most people are just learning the basics, that is, integrating into the city of Magic City from an external perspective.

People like Chen Qi and Chen Yao are also beginning to integrate into this city in terms of their living habits as time goes by.

This is a process of removing dust and returning to emptiness, and it is also a necessary process to see mountains as not mountains and water as not water.

To get rid of dust means to get rid of the bad habits that have been developed in rural areas in the past.

To return to emptiness is to learn the elegance of this city.

Rather than making money, perhaps this is the real meaning of their opening a store on Nanjing Street.

Chen Pingsheng looked like a middle-aged man wandering around aimlessly.

He's wandering around here with his hands behind his back.

He actually knows very well the general stages of life.

No matter what happens in the future, in the end, mountains are mountains and water is water.

There is not too much mystery, let alone the so-called great philosophy.

When everything comes to the end of life, it can be described in two words: real.

There are many couples from other places visiting Nanjing Street, many of whom are on a pre-wedding trip.

Take a cruise on the Huangpu River and feel the accent of old Shanghai.

It is a fond memory for many people.

Some people stand on a high place and look down, and those who are in a hurry are just leeks.

Only when you stand among this crowd will you discover that this is the best world.

It has joys and sorrows, and more regrets.

"Uncle, can you take a picture for us?"

"I brought my girlfriend to Shanghai for a trip, and her mother asked me for a betrothal gift of 400,000 yuan. My wife even secretly took out her household registration booklet and insisted on marrying me."

Standing in front of him was a young couple, who were recent college graduates. They had agreed to go see the Huangpu River when they turned 24.

I will come again when I am sixty years old.

After Chen Pingsheng took a few photos with their mobile phones, the young man and his girlfriend politely said thank you several times.

By the way, he took out a bag of wedding candy from his small bag and gave it to him. The young man smiled and said, "Uncle, don't mind. We didn't have a wedding. This journey here is our best wedding."

"Not bad, not bad. This is the best gift I have received today."

Chen Pingsheng said, "Since I've eaten your wedding candy, I can't just give you nothing. How about this? I have a small house here that I can give you, but it can't be transferred. When you are sixty and can still be together like this, the house will belong to you completely."

What is money?

It is just a tool, and for Chen Pingsheng now, this tool is just a tool to make his family happy and feel at ease.

If you want to manage money well, the key is not to let it distract you from your original intention.

From the beginning, he was determined to make more money because he wanted to provide the best shelter for his family.

This will not change until the day he dies.

It’s just that maybe it will grow from a small family to a big one.

We'll find out the details when he lives to that day.

The young couple were stunned for a few seconds, but they just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

You will know how expensive houses are in Shanghai when you come here.

It can make working people with an annual salary of one million collapse, let alone ordinary people.

Who would give them such an expensive gift on their first meeting?

It's impossible!

In fact, Chen Pingsheng never speaks empty words.

Since he said he gave it to me, then he definitely gave it to me.

It was just a small apartment with three bedrooms and a living room of 100 square meters. The secretary Lin Qiunan personally drove an Audi R8 to deliver the keys to them.

Then there is a 60-year-old agreement, which states that when the two of them turn 60, they will still be able to hold hands and look at the Huangpu River together with their hair half gray.

Only then can you truly own this house.

Now, it can only be considered a temporary residence without rent.

This feeling is a bit like if my old man suddenly becomes the director of the Welfare Lottery.

Then the feeling of winning three or four times in a row seemed a bit illusory and unreal.

I realized even more that I had met a real big shot.

It's easy to say that someone is a big shot, but in reality it's often extremely difficult to come across one.
