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....
The capital game is played most vigorously in China.
That was undoubtedly the Baowan War in the past. Vanke's equity was dispersed, and Yao Ming took hundreds of billions of cash from the insurance company and leveraged it to directly become Vanke's major shareholder.
If Pengcheng State-owned Assets had not intervened at the last critical moment, he would have definitely succeeded.
Of course, what really prevented Yao Ming from entering the capital market was the Baoge battle.
Ms. Dong stood up and directly stated that barbaric capital is not welcome.
This led to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commissions of both places taking action at the same time, and the final result was that Lao Yao was banned from entering the capital market again.
Later, he went into new energy. As a person who plays the capital game, he went into industry, so the result was naturally not very good.
You can tell from the news that he was even blocked at the door and beaten by his family employees.
This is a great humiliation for a generation of tycoons.
To be honest, Chen Pingsheng is the most qualified person to play this game now, after all, he has too much money.
If the equity of any high-quality company is dispersed, he can easily take over the controlling stake.
It is difficult for state-owned assets in general places to compete with him.
Now he did not acquire other companies, but acquired his own company first.
After Tengyou Media acquired Tengying Entertainment, the stock price rose to 420 billion in just half a month.
Later, he bought all of Feiyangyang, and the stock price rose by another 30 billion.
It reached an all-time high of 450 billion.
In today's entertainment industry, it is necessary to create new large-scale profit sectors. Relying solely on making movies and TV series to survive will only lead to failure.
The biggest benefit after merging with Tengyou Media is that it has enough businesses.
Can make perfect use of high-end celebrity resources.
The outside world is very concerned about whether he will expand wildly externally after merging and restructuring internal enterprises.
Tang Jing handed him the tablet and said, "Boss, look, the financial news lately has been all about our group's merger and reorganization. Countless netizens have been asking when we can merge their companies and kick out that damn bloodsucking boss."
"Let's not read this kind of news. Also, let our public relations department take control so people don't think we're controlling this kind of public opinion."
"Boss, this isn't necessary. I feel like these people are just speaking from the heart. Indeed, many people hope that our Tengying Group can acquire those vampire factories."
"The more this is the case, the more we cannot allow this kind of public opinion to spread widely."
Chen Pingsheng said: "Overseas countries have recently been discussing export restrictions. Any products produced by companies that rely on cheap labor will not be exported.
"This may be a good thing in the eyes of some people, but it is essentially anti-dumping and is aimed at protecting their own domestic companies. Of course, on the other hand, it also has certain benefits, because it can force domestic factories to conduct independent research and development and production, and improve the core advantages of their own products."
"Boss, this won't really happen, right?"
"It will definitely happen, it's just a matter of time."
Chen Pingsheng said: "This is undoubtedly a huge blow to those companies that rely on foreign trade and exports. At this moment, we can't go around promoting our high salaries and benefits. It's too sensitive."
Okay... I don't quite understand it though.
Tang Jing will still conscientiously complete every task assigned by the boss. As I said before, don't try to promote yourself as unique.
That means nothing except a bunch of jealousy.
Tesla's Shanghai factory had this problem before, and was later forced to only increase bonuses but not wages.
The domestic situation is still somewhat special. After all, the reform and opening up has only been going on for so many years. We cannot expect to quickly surpass those developed countries that have developed for hundreds of years in technology.
It's not very realistic at all, we can only take it step by step.
The factors involved are extremely complex and cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.
Chen Pingsheng also has no intention of acquiring other people's companies. He already has enough companies of his own, unless he comes across a very high-quality company like Wanda.
He will consider taking action.
The days passed slowly and time flew by, and it was already January in the blink of an eye.
The New Year's Day holiday is not particularly lively this year, after all, it has not been long since the holiday was relaxed.
Many people have been infected, so naturally they have to stay at home to recuperate.
There is nothing wrong with their family, but Erpi Ya has to wear five small masks every day.
There are so many of them everywhere now that it seems impossible to avoid them. She almost wants to spend hundreds of millions to buy a small hill and then dig a big hole in it.
Build a super comfortable cave for cultivating immortals, and then have outsiders pass food in through a single channel every day.
She stayed inside and waited until her illness was completely over before coming out.
As expected, her whimsical idea was rejected by her mother Yanxi.
Although the idea of building a cave in the mountain was not approved, Yan Xi still built a small mountaintop villa for her in the back mountain.
Let’s see how long she can stay there alone after she finishes building it.
None of the five members of their family were infected, but the youngest sister was the first to be infected.
After three days of rest at home, he was fine. They have their own top medical team in this villa.
Don't be too surprised, it's just standard in wealthy families.
You should have regular physical examinations and then make sure your diet is nutritionally balanced.
Other people also got the disease one after another and were all cured quickly.
Later, Erpi Ya discovered something strange. It was said that this thing could even be transmitted through the air.
She herself didn't have it.
Now he began to grow bolder, and kept hanging around in front of his younger aunt, and even ran to his older aunt and happily did the butt dance.
As a result, she felt unwell at night and had signs of a high fever.
Erpi Ya thought he had been infected too, but after checking, he found out that it was not the case.
It was diarrhea caused by eating expired fruit.
Although it would be fine after vomiting, Yanxi was still very angry that there was expired fruit in their house.
After checking, I found out that this was because a nanny in the family was obsessed with reading novels at work where a domineering CEO falls in love with the cleaning lady.
As a result, the food was not cleaned up in time. You should know that the fruits in their house cannot be put into the refrigerator.
Once it is not in the refrigerator, its shelf life can be said to be very short, so it needs to be cleaned regularly every day.
Erpi Ya just vomited a little, but the nanny was fired directly, and the supervisor in charge of the matter also had his bonus for a year canceled.
It can be said to be very strict.
After Erpi Ya found out that he still hadn't been tricked, he didn't dare to run around in front of his aunt anymore.
He hides quietly in his own golden nest and doesn't contact anyone.
This is life after opening up. It will undoubtedly take some time for it to truly pass.
…
It's New Year's Day again.
Look at the calendar again, it’s already 2023.
Chen Pingsheng held a family dinner at Jinshan Villa. Except for Erpi Ya who didn't dare to come out, everyone else had nothing to worry about.
This thing is simply unavoidable. At least more than 90% of people will get it once, so what is there to avoid?
Life at home is still lively. Counting the time, he hasn't been back for a year or two.
Grandpa said that he was not feeling well and didn’t want to go out again before he went back this year. When people get old, they believe in returning to their roots.
His father also said that he would indeed go back. The village has now recovered from the epidemic and it is expected that there will be some fun this year.
His mother Peng Ying also wanted to go back. She had gotten used to the prosperous life in Shanghai, and she always felt like something was missing if she didn't return home after becoming rich.
With so many people at home wanting to go back, arrangements naturally have to be made.
This year's Chinese New Year falls relatively early, on January 22nd.
After New Year’s Day, it will be holiday soon.
In the past, even if he didn't return to the village, he would give money to the elderly in the village every year. Now that he is so rich this year, he must have built a villa village.
When Chen Pingsheng expressed this idea, his father was the first to applaud and agree. There were only more than a thousand households in the whole village.
Even if each household invests one million, it would still be just over 1 billion.
If there is a unified standard for building a house worth one million yuan, and we find a large construction group to conduct an open tender, and the decoration is included in the package, the house can be built very well.
There have been cases of villa villages in some developed areas a long time ago, but they have never had any.
Chen Pingsheng asked his grandfather and parents to go back and arrange this matter first. The current residential land in the village has standards and cannot be built randomly.
Of course, this is all for ordinary people. If they want to do this, they will first talk to the city, and then the city will pass it on to the county, and the county will arrange it.
After all, it is a large project worth more than 10 billion yuan, and it can be regarded as a key image project of the city. Many leaders are happy to see it succeed.
They will even cooperate vigorously in publicity.
This is a great project that can bring economic benefits to the local area. Shouldn’t we promote it well?
However, if the village plans to build houses collectively, it will involve the re-planning of the land. The previous chaotic layout of building a house in the east and a building in the west will all have to be demolished and re-planned.
If he didn't pay, no village would be able to demolish farmers' houses.
Now, with his investment, things are completely different. The old house was demolished and replaced with a million-dollar villa.
Who wouldn’t want that!
The village and the county are all planning the new Wangcai Village. It will be impossible to accomplish this within a year or two.
It requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources to work together, and Chen Pingsheng also invested 1.5 billion in this project.
Except for Chenjiazhuang, which he had already built and did not need to be rebuilt, more than 90% of the other houses had to be demolished and rebuilt.
With these 1.5 billion yuan, Wangcai Village will basically be completely renovated.
His parents and grandparents still prefer to live in their hometown in the countryside.
There, you only meet acquaintances when you go out a few steps, unlike here in Shanghai, where you only meet strangers when you go out.
After New Year's Day, the Magic City slowly starts to become lively.
Because there are many foreign tourists coming to Shanghai, there are actually quite a few street noises at night.
What does it mean?
There are some internet celebrities who are so bored that they use their rented luxury cars to shock people traveling abroad.
In the field of short videos, there was even a topic about the whole country supporting Shanghai.
This topic was actually tied to patriotism, and Chen Pingsheng only found out about it when he overheard employees chatting in the group.
This is simply a huge joke?
The elegance of Shanghai is ingrained in its bones, just like the foreign concessions, Shanghai at night, and Paramount during the Republic of China period, which led the entire mainland fashion at that time.
As long as you go to the Bund, you can deeply feel the splendor of this city, and when you go to Nanjing Street, you will understand why the air is fragrant.
Because at least more than half of the people shopping here will spray some expensive perfume on their bodies.
Where did perfume become popular? It's because of this kind of elegance and fashion.
Chen Pingsheng himself doesn't like spraying these things, as he always feels they are a bit weird, but it is undeniable that many white-collar workers, including those at higher levels, like to wear some perfume when going out.
Some smell good, some smell terrible.
To the wealthy people in Shanghai, internet celebrities are a group of people who are neither classy nor mainstream.
Do all demons need them to support the scene?
They even tied street bombing to the label of patriotism. Needless to say, many wealthy people in the Magic City feel that this is an offense.
Of course, more people just laugh it off.
For example, Chen Pingsheng is very clear that those who are really clamoring online for luxury cars from other places to come to Shanghai to show off are basically those who have never been to Shanghai.
If you don’t come to this city, you will never understand what a real foreign concession is.
Under Erpi Ya’s short video account, a large number of slogans inviting her to join the battle appeared.
After seeing it, Erpi Ya snorted twice and didn't bother to pay attention to it.
She never flaunts her wealth; it's just her daily lifestyle.
The wealth of Shanghai cannot be truly displayed in a short video, let alone driving a so-called luxury car for a drive.
Luxury cars are easy to find in this place, but steel and concrete are the hardest to find.
Any one of them costs tens of millions, and this is just the most common small apartment.
If you want a slightly bigger house with two toilets, don’t even think about it without 20 million.
If you want to live in a more spacious place, thirty or fifty million is just the starting price.
This kind of news that appears on the Internet is basically just internet celebrities bringing in traffic.
Little do they know that it will only make people who have been living in this world sneer at them.
I look down on those who seem to be right but are not.
Because Shanghai is already the richest city in China, anyone who wants to show off their wealth in front of it is nothing but a weakling.
Chen Pingsheng discovered something very early on: no matter what the matter is, as long as it is tied to patriotism, the traffic will be particularly large.
Many internet celebrities and some movies are relying on this kind of traffic. It is really an era where laymen see the doorway and experts seize the opportunity.
Chen Pingsheng asked Tang Jing to make some arrangements as he would be going to Hong Kong before the New Year.
The purpose is to hold the Tencent Film Group's global shareholders' meeting and to discuss the global investment plan for 2023.
In addition to investing 20 billion in Singapore, he will definitely increase his overseas investment next year.
It is mainly concentrated in the field of science and technology.
In addition, his Tengfei New Energy Vehicle will also apply for listing in 2023.
The planned market value is 400 billion, and the equity dilution after listing will be around 40%.
Such a large cash-out would be difficult to achieve without the strong support of several super capitals.
Chen Pingsheng has waited for this day for eight years.
