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 643 Peaceful Era

Big Butt Kids officially starts school on September 1st.

In the first semester of the second year of junior high school, she really worked hard. On the first day of school, she tied a red cloth on her forehead with the words "I will work hard" in a ceremonial manner.

On the first day of school, it was all the old classmates, nothing special, but there were also a few new classmates in the class.

He also took the initiative to go on stage and introduce himself to everyone, so he got to know everyone.

As for Erpi Ya, she made quite a fuss when she signed up, even though she went with her mother.

However, a small number of people from the three major companies were still called over to lead the way.

The pomp and circumstance is still very well controlled.

Not only was the ceremony grand, she also wore a bright red robe, looking very stylish.

Her brother felt relieved. As long as he saw Su Xiaoxi, nothing else mattered.

The three little ones at home have finally started school, and the rest of the things are much easier.

After Chen Pingsheng arrived at the group headquarters, it was morning and Tang Jingdu was still busy with other things, so he made himself a cup of boiling water and added some wolfberries.

At exactly nine o'clock, Tang Jing came to report to him, saying that the second quarter financial report of Tengying Group was out.

Tencent Entertainment's profit in the second quarter was 120 million yuan, down more than 60% from the same period last year.

As soon as this financial report was released, the stock price plummeted, and no one could stop it.

In addition to Tengying Entertainment, Feiyangyang Catering Group's net loss in the second quarter reached 98 million.

Snack Run has stabilized and has not been affected too much.

Lujiao Coffee’s financial report also fell short of expectations. All listed companies must release financial reports.

It is not only an explanation to all shareholders, but also a demonstration of its own operating capabilities to the capital market.

Not surprisingly, the stock price plummeted as soon as the financial report was released.

It's not just his company. Nine out of ten companies in traditional fields fail to meet expectations.

Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to stabilize the stock price. I didn't expect that.

Chen Pingsheng said: "I made a fortune from Tesla, but lost a lot of money from my own stock price. Only Tencent Media is still thriving."

Tengyou Media’s financial report for the second quarter was truly impressive, thanks to the listing of Nine Clothing Warehouse.

The net profit in the second quarter was as high as more than 9 billion, and the stock price soared.

"Boss, there's nothing we can do about it. Few companies in the traditional sector are holding up well this year. If this situation continues for a few more years, who knows how many companies will go bankrupt."

"That's true."

Chen Pingsheng sighed, "The trend is irreversible. There are still many people who hope that I will be the White Ambassador who takes over. If anyone sends me that kind of message again, just tell them that I want to sell my own company and see if they are willing to take it over."

Tang Jing knew it was a joke, but didn't take it seriously. Their company still had plenty of cash flow.

There is no such thing as a crisis. Not to mention enduring for three years, there won’t be any problems even if we endure for five or ten years.

Moreover, the company has clear standards. Regardless of dismissal or company bankruptcy, the group must provide sufficient subsidies to employees.

This subsidy is at least one year's salary, and it is impossible for a company to go bankrupt just like that.

The founder just bought a plane ticket and fled abroad without caring about anything.

Chen Pingsheng just took a look and didn't care too much.

After a while, he received another call from his younger sister Chen Qi.

There were some surprises and some strange things that made him want to take a look.

His younger sister's cheongsam shop was inexplicably smashed up by someone.

Someone even dared to smash his sister's shop in Shanghai. Chen Pingsheng wanted to see who was the tough guy who did this.

After finally driving to Nanjing Street, I didn't see any tough guys, just a middle-aged young man who was drunk after drinking a little bit of wine.

His sister opened a cheongsam shop here, and the business has been pretty good, which has affected an old cheongsam shop nearby.

The owner of that store is a beautiful lady who knows how to make use of her advantages.

While drinking one time, she deliberately revealed some of her grievances to a strong man who wanted to sleep with her.

That tough guy brags a lot when he's drunk, and there's no one in Shanghai he can't mess with.

After drinking three cups of white wine, he immediately got drunk and called his two younger brothers.

The man with the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right came over with a short flat head to smash the store.

His sister opened this store just for fun, she didn't take it seriously at all and it's impossible for her to be in the store every day.

There were only a few waiters in the store, and the first words this tough guy said when he came in were.

Do you know who I am?

Did you get the permission from the management to open a store here?

After saying that, he immediately smashed the store, and it was clearly captured by the surveillance camera.

I guess the female cheongsam owner who instigated him to smash the store didn't expect that this guy would be so brave and come to smash the store without asking any questions.

She simply disappeared on the spot, and almost blocked this stupid hunk.

Then Chen Qi sent him the video of the store.

What era is this? There are still tattooed men using such low-level competition tactics.

They came straight over and smashed the store.

The situation now is also very clear. When he drove over in the red Bugatti, the guy immediately sobered up halfway.

Chen Pingsheng did not come alone, he was accompanied by two cars of bodyguards.

There was nothing he could do. He hadn't met such a powerful person in many years, so he just wanted to see something new.

Let’s see who is better, me or my grandfather.

In the end, he was nothing but a KTV owner who made some money in a small place.

His sister's shop is small, but the clothes are valuable, and tens of millions are not enough to compensate for the losses.

There is a truth that rich people all understand: if your family is rich enough, you can easily smash any Rolls-Royce on the street.

The Audi A6 is definitely not an option, and the Hongqi L5 is definitely not something you can touch.

If you don't have the money to compensate for the loss, then you have no choice but to go in.

The exact number of years in prison depends on the situation on the owner's side. Judging from the situation in my sister's store, if the lawsuit is brought to Jinshan.

This guy might not be able to come out in ten years.

All he saw when he walked in was a pile of debris. The half-sober guy with a flat head would be lying if he said he wasn't lying when he saw him driving a Bugatti with so many bodyguards.

"Brother, is this store yours?"

"No, it's a small shop I opened for my sister, and now it just happened to be smashed by you."

"Brother, your family is quite rich."

"It's just so-so. This small shop only cost over 100 million yuan. I don't charge you for the storefront, but my sister's clothes are worth at least 10 or 20 million yuan. Counting other losses, 25 million yuan should be enough."

Chen Pingsheng spoke in a very calm tone, saying something that was particularly disturbing.

The tattooed man with a flat head sobered up immediately, "Brother, my eldest brother is Jiang Hu, you should know him, can you give me some face?"

"I'm sorry, I don't really know the Jiang Hu you mentioned, and I don't need to know those random people."

Chen Pingsheng found a place to sit down and waited for his younger sister to come over. His older sister was also on the way.

The muscular man with the flat head really wanted to show his toughness and say some harsh words, but when he saw the other party's situation, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Brother, this is all a misunderstanding."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, wait until you can come up with more than 20 million before you tell me!"

"What if I can't produce it?"

"That doesn't matter. Just stay in there for seven or eight years."

"You're not kidding, are you?"

The man with the flat head stood up suddenly, and the bodyguard beside Chen Pingsheng immediately took action to force him to sit down again.

"You're not worthy of me making fun of you. You have three hours to come up with the money. If you can't come up with the compensation in three hours, you won't have the chance to regret it."

This guy is also miserable. He originally met the beautiful owner of the cheongsam shop next door through a friend's introduction.

The boss lady is much richer than him and not stupid at all.

She knew that the storefront of this cheongsam shop had been bought by someone to open a new store.

Anyone who can afford a storefront in this area of ​​Nanjing Street, no matter how small, must be more powerful than her.

It was because this guy with the flat head was bragging too much. He started to brag about being the best in the world after just two drinks.

She really disliked this kind of person, so she thought of taking advantage of him. No one expected that he would actually go and smash the store.

Can the cheongsam shop in Shanghai be destroyed?

It is normal for a good quality custom-made cheongsam to cost tens or even hundreds of millions. Only a fool would destroy a cheongsam shop if the family does not have billions.

After knowing that he was really going to smash the store, the proprietress immediately disappeared.

There was no chance for him to explain or ask her to share the responsibility. No matter how many times he called her, she would not answer.

I've met stupid people before, but I've never met anyone as stupid as this.

When his younger sister Chen Qi arrived, the muscular man with a flat head was even more shocked.

It seems that this has offended the rich, either Bentley or Rolls-Royce.

"Brother, you came quite quickly."

"You think you're the one who came here so leisurely after your store was smashed."

Chen Qi wasn't embarrassed at all. "I'm here with you. Even though Shanghai is big, there's nothing you can't solve."

"Stop flattering me and find your people to calculate the losses here."

"Hey brother, I don't even know this guy, why would he destroy my store?"

"People are stupid and are taken advantage of."

Chen Pingsheng said indifferently: "You don't need to worry about that. Whoever smashed your store will be held responsible."

"Okay..."

"Once you've calculated the losses, send a financial loss statement to my company. I'll have Kingsoft's legal team prosecute the case and see how much compensation they can get..."

I wanted to see something new and exciting, but ended up seeing a terrible thing.

People like this are really trying hard to pick up rich women. They come and smash the store without asking any questions.

He won't indulge her at all, he'll just let things go their way.

Younger sister Chen Qi also took a look at the man with a flat head. If nothing unexpected happened, this guy would definitely not be able to compensate for the losses of her store.

If you can't afford the compensation, you can only take legal action. Needless to say, you will have to stay in prison for several years and how much money you will have to pay.

The loss amounted to tens of millions, and his life was ruined by these few blows of his own.

Some things just happen so inexplicably.

For example, in some places, you can get beaten for just going out for a midnight snack.

It's also very strange. Of course, in this day and age, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Anyone who dares to fight like this is either extremely impulsive or still living in the last century.

Once it is posted online, it basically cannot be escaped.

The more backward the place is, the more often this kind of thing happens.

On the contrary, a prosperous city like Shanghai is undoubtedly much stronger.

Nowadays, when someone in the countryside wants to hit someone, everyone will stretch their necks out. It just so happens that their income is not very good this year, so a couple of slaps from you will bring in a few months' income.

Many people like it.

Chen Pingsheng thought he would really meet some powerful person, but it turned out to be just a young man, the kind of young man who came from a small place.

Chen Qi called the police before arriving and took the person to the police station first.

What remains is to negotiate compensation. If you can't afford it, just sue directly. After going through the whole process, this guy will have no chance of getting out once he goes in.

After the matter was settled, Chang Fu immediately came over to watch the fun. They were also ruthless people in the past, but after being in society for a long time, they all understood one thing.

Those who have no money are not as good as those who have money, and those who have money are not as good as those who sit in the seats.

People like Chen Pingsheng are half businessman and half official.

Chang Fu also hurried over to watch the fun, but ended up watching alone.

The muscular man with a flat head cried bitterly in the police station. He had been living a good life before, but now he was so impulsive.

Not only will he lose everything, but he will also have to spend seven or eight years behind bars.

The rest of life is nothing but gloom.

Even if he wanted to kneel down and apologize, he wouldn't see Chen Pingsheng and the others. Everything was handled by the lawyers.

It's a completely business-like attitude.

As for the culprit, the female owner of the cheongsam shop, Chen Qi could only go and cause trouble for her himself. With his status, it would be too embarrassing for him to bully a small cheongsam shop owner.

There is absolutely no need for that.

"Old Chen, I never thought that our store would be smashed up one day!"

“I rarely see it either.”

"When I was just an apprentice, this kind of thing happened quite a lot."

"It's better if there are fewer. I don't like to see this kind of thing."

To be honest, those so-called gangster films produced in Hong Kong in the 1990s were basically jokes.

At that time, there was a conflict between the two villages, and the situation was huge.

That wasn't just some ordinary people shouting at people's doorsteps with hoes and kitchen knives, but the old Type 58 rifles and mortars.

Even the battle formation was dug out, and the village leader was personally in charge.

If the troops of one of the villages were to be transferred to Hong Kong, the Emperor of Kowloon and the leader of Causeway Bay would all be the weakest of the weak.

Not enough for them to sweep in one round.

This is not an exaggeration. At that time, in many places in the mainland, everyone practiced martial arts.

Anyone who has seen this kind of battle noodles will know how funny the Young and Dangerous movies made in places like Hong Kong are.

The real bigwigs of the new era are all wearing suits and ties, sitting at the table like Chen Pingsheng and others, chatting and laughing, and drinking tea very humbly.

Chang Fu, Gao Hu and he all came from that era.

In the past, if you did any business without some skills, your store would be smashed or you would get into trouble.

In comparison, it’s much better now.

It's just that the short video magnifies some social injustices. Anyone who has lived through their era knows that now is truly the best era of peace. (End of this chapter)
