Big Brat didn't go anywhere during the holidays. He just stayed at home and did some live broadcasts of playing the erhu.

By the way, I will also teach the second girl how to be a good second sister.

Erpi Ya was also very miserable. She was forced by her sister to be the background board of the live broadcast for three days.

The days passed slowly, and it was late September in the blink of an eye.

It has been almost a month since the three little ones started school, and a few messages have come in from the former president class group.

The general idea is to invite Chen Pingsheng to a party. There are very few of the former CEOs who are still in their prime now.

Let’s not talk about anything else, Wang Yanfeng is the well-known rich second generation and the national son-in-law.

After going through rounds of investment, he has become a joke among the wealthy circle.

In addition, he is unrestrained and loves freedom. He always looks for some female Internet celebrities. Anyone who has Chen Pingsheng's family status or conditions will look down on him.

His father has also had a hard time in recent years, selling all kinds of things.

This young man is now a typical figure in name only. On the Internet, he may still be called the national husband by some women who earn a few thousand yuan a month.

But in the circle of wealthy people, few people look down on him.

As for the other people in the CEO class, top domestic investors such as Tong Zelan and Shen Nanpeng have lived abroad all year round.

I rarely go back to China.

It was also because it had been seven years since the CEO class graduated, and Chen Pingsheng himself also participated, so the gathering place was still in Hong Kong.

It's rare for everyone to get together.

After so many years of the CEO class, if we were to talk about their current situation, we can only say that there are both good and bad.

Liu Hai, the real estate tycoon, is now in a desperate situation, and Lao Yang, the former hotel tycoon, no longer has the glory he once had.

However, He Bijun, who once had a very good relationship with him, is doing okay.

The main reason why he can live a good life is that he does not invest recklessly and always sticks to his pig farming business.

In addition, the gaming tycoon Hu Ding, who has had a long-term collaboration with him, is also doing quite well.

One thing we can discover from the situations of these people is that as long as they stick to their core business and don't expand recklessly, they can still live well.

Those who invested here and there are now in a much more miserable situation.

As for Wang Yanfeng, he had to call Chen Pingsheng "Uncle Chen" whenever he saw him.

Only his father can be on equal terms with him, he is not worthy.

The main person in charge of this party is very clear, that is Chen Pingsheng, and the venue of the party is still the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong.

"Old Chen, we graduated together seven years ago, and now that we're together again, you're already at the top of your game."

“I’m not at the peak, but I can only say that I’m not doing too badly.”

"Haha." Pig farmer He Bijun laughed and said, "I'm not surprised at all that you can achieve such a big business. The key is that you now raise more pigs than a professional pig farmer like me. I can't help but admire you for that."

"If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to do this today."

"Forget it. I've always been following your Tengnong Breeding. There's no other company in China with a larger scale than yours in terms of agricultural breeding. You're not even close."

He Bijun asked, "You've probably invested at least 30 to 40 billion in this area, right?"

Liu Hai was a little surprised. Everyone knew that Chen Pingsheng was doing very well now. It was well-deserved to say that he was one of the top entrepreneurs in the country.

I just didn't expect that he invested so much money in agriculture.

"About the same. I've invested a lot over the years."

"admire…"

Tong Zelan chuckled and said, "That's nothing. You probably don't know that Lao Chen has made at least $30 billion on Tesla stock. He's also a major shareholder in Nvidia."

There is nothing wrong with talking about these things. After all, no one here doesn't know Chen Pingsheng's current status.

Once you go to Kingsoft in Shanghai, you will realize that Tencent Video Group is no longer a private company.

It's like a city, and he has his own R&D centers in major cities across the country.

His business position is already unshakable.

"Haha, Lao Chen can even become one of the best in the world in football investment, so what can't he do?"

"This is pure nonsense."

Chen Pingsheng said, "I don't have the ability to improve domestic football. I just invested some money in foreign football teams. We haven't gathered together for a few years. Let's not just talk about me, let's talk about your situation."

"What can a pig farmer like me do? I can't become a millionaire, but I can still be a pig farming tycoon."

"Your situation is okay, but my situation is very pessimistic."

Old Yang, who works in the hotel industry, said, "The hotel industry is in a slump right now. It used to be able to rely on some gray industries for support, but now the gray industries are becoming increasingly difficult. If anyone wants my five-star hotels, I'll sell them to you for money. I really can't hold on any longer."

He was not lying. The hotel industry is becoming increasingly difficult.

Two of Lao Yang’s three five-star hotels are in Hangzhou and one is in Shanghai.

He himself invested in a super large tourist resort a few years ago, and the annual net loss can only be described as astronomical.

As for why there is a loss, it is obvious.

The impact of this wave of disease on the hotel and tourism industries can be said to be beyond imagination.

While Lao Yang was speaking, he kept looking at Chen Pingsheng. In this situation, only Tengying Group could help him.

As for Liu Hai, who worked in real estate, he didn't even need to say anything. He just smiled bitterly and said, "You all know what the real estate industry is like right now. It's as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Of course, there are more than just these few people in the president class. There are also some people working in the Internet industry, and the situation is not optimistic either.

The main reason is that the current Internet no longer has the support of the country, and the current leading companies are already as stable as Mount Tai.

The best entrepreneurial space on the Internet now is concentrated in the field of short videos.

And the best in the field of short videos is undoubtedly Tencent Media.

The stock price has exceeded 160 billion.

All in all, Chen Pingsheng has become the number one in the country in many fields.

Even in the field of new energy vehicles, although he has never deliberately promoted it, everyone in this field knows that Tesla is undoubtedly the strongest abroad.

The strongest in China is obviously Tengfei New Energy.

Even in AI intelligence, which has always been considered the top technology of the future, he has also achieved the top investment in China.

After counting around this time, we realized that even though everyone knew that Chen Pingsheng was very strong now, they didn't expect him to be so outrageously strong.

It's simply an exaggeration.

There is a reason why Chen Pingsheng has rarely attended the CEO class gatherings.

At this level, the gap between him and them is too big.

If I go abroad, I can often get together with Tong Zelan, Shen Nanpeng and others.

For example, the gap between Liu Hai and Wang Yanfeng is indeed too big.

There's nothing much to talk about.

Chen Pingsheng didn't emphasize these things deliberately, but he would not invest in assets that would obviously depreciate and would be extremely difficult to make money in the future.

But he can still buy some things, such as the five-star hotel in Lao Yang's Magic City.

He doesn't run the hotel, but he can use it as a welfare unit for his employees.

What does it mean?

Basically, the employees' parents can stay in these hotels for free after coming from their hometown.

He now has over one million employees, and many parents come to Shanghai twice a year.

Whether traveling or visiting children, five-star accommodation provided by the company is undoubtedly an excellent employee benefit.

As for the resort he owns, the total investment is nearly 5 billion.

Old Yang also got into trouble because of this.

Chen Pingsheng also wanted to buy it.

"Old Yang, your daughter is a celebrity over there, and she's been doing pretty well. Name me a price for your Magic City Hotel, which includes a five-star resort, and see if I can take it over."

When Old Yang heard this, he was so excited.

"Old Chen, are you buying this hotel and resort to run yourself, or are you using it for something else?"

"I have no interest in running a five-star hotel. I bought it just to provide a welfare unit for the employees. As for the resort, I will just let it be a toy for my daughter and my family..."

Old Yang was stunned. Buying a five-star hotel as a welfare unit for employees was already extremely exaggerated.

I can’t even think about buying a resort for my daughter as a toy.

The so-called resort is generally a leisure and entertainment place that integrates tourism and fun.

Sun Island is such a place, but unfortunately it is impossible to sell it.

The selling price is just too high, but since Lao Yang invested more than 5 billion yuan in this small resort, there is no problem for him to let his daughter and family members go there for fun during holidays.

He can spend billions on a super yacht, and of course he can also spend billions on a resort.

Lao Yang did not hide it from him, his resort, which included a five-star hotel, was now being sold at a 40% discount.

This is definitely not high, anyway he has already suffered huge losses.

The two assets together are valued at 3.6 billion.

Things are different now than before. Now those who have money are the real bosses.

It is already very difficult for those with assets to cash out, especially when they have bank loans.

Harder.

Chen Pingsheng only agreed on a preliminary valuation price with him, and the contract would be signed only after the company's financial valuation team had taken a detailed look at it.

He also only tends to acquire assets in the four super first-tier cities, and he will not acquire assets in other small cities.

Everyone knew he was rich, but from this moment on, one could clearly feel how much money he had.

He can easily spend billions to buy two big toys for his family. This kind of strength is totally incomparable to ordinary people.

Especially in today's economic situation.

There are also bosses in the catering industry who hope he can buy shares, or even sell all of their business to him.

He definitely cannot acquire such assets. His own Feiyangyang, which has a good reputation, loses three to four hundred million every year. How can he acquire a catering business?

After this class reunion, Chen Pingsheng rented a five-star hotel in Shanghai.

The location is still in Jinshan, and there is also another resort.

In addition, he also plans to visit several other stores.

If possible, we might cooperate, but not at a high cost.

At night, everyone held a luxurious party in the hotel.

Many of Hong Kong's richest people came here, most of them because of his face.

After all, as more companies emerge, there will naturally be more people to cooperate with.

The number of people I have met before and after is not just one or two.

All I can say is that there is no ignorant person here.

At night, Tong Zelan, Shen Nanpeng and several top wealthy people in Hong Kong secretly arranged a meeting in a private room in the hotel.

This time is different from the CEO class gathering in the morning.

Anyone who can sit in this room is worth at least 50 billion.

What everyone is talking about are not those small projects, but large global projects.

For example, acquiring an overseas national power company and making stable profits over the long term.

That power company controls 15% of the country's electricity.

The bid is around 20 billion US dollars.

For example, investing in two giant port companies and making money from port leasing.

The larger the capital, the more inclined one is to invest in stable and long-term profitable projects.

Especially in infrastructure projects for people's livelihood, Li from Hong Kong alone invested over 400 billion yuan in the UK.

You say he failed in his investment, but that shows that he completely fails to understand the principles by which big capital operates.

For these top capitals, taking risks to make big money is no longer the best option.

Stability and long-term development are the core goals of a family that can last for a hundred years or even longer.

Undoubtedly, infrastructure projects related to people's livelihood are the most stable.

It is impossible to invest in this kind of project in the country because private capital cannot enter at all.

It is a state-owned capital project.

Such as banking, oil, electricity, tobacco, medical care, etc.

No matter which one of them, even Chen Pingsheng would also look for opportunities to invest in such projects.

This is his main purpose of coming to Hong Kong this time.

The biggest feature of people’s livelihood infrastructure projects is stability.

Putting aside this feature, its payback period is actually very long.

It is simply not something that ordinary people with small capital can afford.

To invest in such a project, in addition to having money, one must also have extremely high political capital abroad.

Of course, once the investment is successful, it will greatly enhance overseas influence.

They plan to jointly establish a top overseas investment fund.

The initial planned investment amount was 20 billion US dollars.

It was jointly funded by Chen Pingsheng, Tong Zelan, Shen Nanpeng, and the Hong Kong Guo, Cai, Liu, and Zheng families.

The seven companies jointly put forward 140 billion yuan to invest in overseas people's livelihood infrastructure projects.

They have all reached this stage and must plan for the family for a hundred years or even longer. Everyone has reached this cooperation based on the tacit understanding of long-term cooperation in the past.

This is actually exactly the same as the Vision Fund of Xiaorizi.

However, their goal is not to gamble, but to jointly invest in overseas infrastructure projects for people's livelihood.

No big adventures needed, just long-term and stable.

Once the investment direction is determined, the seven parties must agree on it.

In fact, this conversation was also because we had found a suitable acquisition target.

The acquisition target was proposed by Tong Zelan and Shen Nanpeng, and the target was Singapore.

Singapore is not a big place, but it is very prosperous.

Many wealthy people in the country have properties there. They have jointly pooled 20 billion US dollars to invest there, which is also to increase their influence in Singapore.

Chen Pingsheng agreed to the investment in order to leave himself a few more options.

It is impossible for him to just put all his investments in the country. That is simply unrealistic, very unrealistic.
