In September, the autumn breeze blows gently.

Chen Anan has started her second year of high school, and her little girl will soon be in junior high school.

As for Xiao Le, who had already graduated from university, she was assigned to work at Kingsoft, just like her sister.

It's just a different unit.

When sitting in the same office, don't think that the only difference is the salary. The class gap is becoming increasingly obvious.

Xiao Le was assigned to the Investment Promotion Department, which was also a special arrangement by Chen Pingsheng. The Investment Promotion Department is mainly responsible for investment promotion strategies and plans, as well as market research and analysis.

There is also customer development and maintenance.

It’s not that the second generation is more capable than ordinary people, but their natural advantages are indeed too obvious.

Xiao Le quickly became proficient in this area, mainly because she had studied under Chen Pingsheng for three years and had also worked in Tengying Group for three years.

The connections here are simply incomparable to ordinary people.

This is the main reason why top investment banks like to recruit second-generation talents. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to build such high-end connections.

The second generation is different. They have been exposed to various circles since childhood.

September 2nd.

To help Tengyou Media reach a market value of 500 billion.

Chen Pingsheng sold 1% of his TikTok shares to Tencent Media for US$3 billion.

This makes it qualified to be both a referee and an athlete. Douyin's valuation this year is 300 billion US dollars.

1% was also sold to Tengyou Media at the standard price, and Tengyou Media also raised money by issuing additional shares.

After receiving 3 billion US dollars, Chen Pingsheng donated another 1.5 billion US dollars to the three top universities in Shanghai.

He fulfilled his promise to donate no less than 10 billion to Shanghai every year for the next 20 years.

It must be said that if a university wants to become a top institution, funding is absolutely indispensable.

The most important sources of funds are local subsidies, support from national policies, and donations from people from all walks of life.

Among them, donations from the public have caused the biggest change.

This year, Lei Jun donated 1.3 billion to his alma mater and also established a genius class named after him at his alma mater, which shows how great his influence is.

Chen Pingsheng did not deliberately promote himself, and all donations were not made in his personal name, but in the brand name of Tengfei New Energy Vehicle.

At least in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, there is a huge commotion.

Moreover, his $1.5 billion was received in one lump sum, without any need for installments.

After the donation and stock sale were completed, his secretary Zhang Wanyi came to find him.

It proposed to fully acquire a fruit novel website under Douyin to open up the short drama content market and also to improve its own content track.

Short dramas began to develop in 2016, and their quality has gradually improved from the earliest stupid short dramas to this year's.

It can be said that the drama is developing towards the concise and powerful Korean drama model.

This year, a series of high-quality hit short dramas were released.

Such as "Pen", "The Legend of the Palace Maid", "Marrying the Eastern Palace", "The Growth of Empresses" and many other excellent short dramas.

After market analysis and judgment, short dramas can be said to be leading the way in the sinking market and are unstoppable.

The characteristics of short dramas are very obvious. They are completely plot-based and have a very fast pace. Compared with long TV dramas that drag on for dozens of minutes without telling any plot, short dramas are simply not comparable to previous TV dramas in attracting audiences.

The reason why it has not been popularized to the greatest extent is simply that many people have not been exposed to it.

Let’s put it this way, if TV dramas don’t change, they will be gradually eliminated by the rapidly developing short dramas like a frog in boiling water.

If the movie doesn't change, the short videos on Douyin will easily make it doubt its life.

Zhang Wanyi's judgment is still very correct. The future entertainment methods will mainly focus on short and fast videos including short dramas.

This is closely related to the pace of life of modern people. After a day of work, who would have the patience to watch you perform in such a slow manner?

Especially when they are frantically pumping in water in order to make more money.

Tencent Film Entertainment will certainly maintain basic investments in TV series and movies, but will also increase the scale of short drama development and APP investment.

Currently, there are two largest companies in the novel content market.

One is in the hands of Big Penguin, with a market value of tens of billions, and the other is in the hands of TikTok Group.

Zhang Wanyi hopes that he can come forward to negotiate this content acquisition.

If she went there alone, they probably wouldn't agree at all. But it was different for Chen Pingsheng. He had to give some face to them for such a small business.

Taking Zhang Wanyi to Singapore, Chen Pingsheng went there in person to discuss the matter.

This is very important for the entire entertainment business of Tencent Media.

In particular, the internet celebrity track can be further deepened by relying on short dramas.

Otherwise, ordinary internet celebrities rise quickly and disappear even faster.

Not good for long-term returns at all.

Chen Pingsheng also has many industries in Singapore. He came here just to take a look. The specific cooperation still needs to be discussed by Zhang Wanyi herself.

It must be said that short videos have really changed the entertainment ecology of the entire market in the future.

This was something he had never thought of before.

Time passed slowly, and it was already a week later when he returned from Singapore.

Zhang Wanyi got the result she wanted and spent 12 billion to complete the acquisition of controlling rights.

In the future, the two companies will have a cooperative relationship. Once the free novel website loses the support of Douyin's traffic, it will undoubtedly die.

There is no room for growth at all, let alone much profit margin.

This is also the main reason why a 100% acquisition is absolutely not possible.

Chen Pingsheng decided to bring her here only after looking at the quality of the current short plays.

As soon as he came back, Xiao Le came to find him. There was a scenic spot in Jinshan that they wanted to develop into a tourist attraction, and the investment amount would be no less than 20 billion.

Ask him if he has any ideas.

The location of this place is quite good, with beautiful scenery including mountains and water.

The lake between the two mountains is particularly beautiful.

To turn it into a scenic spot is not very realistic.

The main reason is that the current tourism industry is quite average. After coming to Shanghai, everyone’s first thought is to go to the Bund.

Who would think of coming to Jinshan specifically for tourism?

If we spend a lot of money to build some cliff-top B&Bs, or even more money to build a six-star luxury hotel halfway up the mountain, and then add certain natural scenic tourist facilities, we can still attract some young people to come and consume.

However, the rate of return on investment will undoubtedly be shockingly low, and it may not even pay off in fifty years.

From an investment perspective, this is clearly not going to be a successful project.

Chen Pingsheng took his wife there to take a look first, and then called the big kid and the second kid at home to go together.

He still remembered that Big Brat had always wanted to buy a mountain to build her own cave for cultivating immortals.

You definitely can’t buy the already developed five-star mountain scenic area.

This kind of undeveloped natural resource can be purchased, but of course the investment will be beyond imagination.

Without spending tens of billions of dollars on this, it cannot be developed at all.

The natural lake view between these two mountains is truly beautiful.

Erpi Ya was so happy that she wanted to buy them all and build her own beloved cave for cultivating immortals halfway up the mountain.

Big Butt also thinks that this kind of place would be extremely comfortable for retirement.

Chen Pingsheng also asked a top design team to come for an on-site survey to see how much it would cost to build a few luxurious villas halfway up the mountain.

In addition, how much money will it cost to equip all the supporting facilities?

According to his plan, he intends to build a world-class luxury mid-mountain hotel, and also to add several unique rooftop villas.

This series of investments would definitely cost tens of billions of dollars.

But the money he has now can really satisfy all the sisters' wishes.

Instead of turning this place into a half-dead scenic spot, it would be better to develop it into a tourist attraction supporting the Tengying Group.

Such land is not in the city center nor in any prosperous area, making it extremely difficult to develop.

Anyone knows that if you spend money on this, there will probably not be much return.

The land price is very cheap, as long as someone invests.

Of course, the prerequisite for obtaining land is that Jinshan approves your development plan.

Chen Pingsheng plans to invest 38 billion to build a six-star mid-mountain luxury villa here.

There will also be a series of supporting entertainment facilities.

Nowadays, having someone investing in you is the biggest benefit, not to mention that he is investing hundreds of billions of dollars.

The plan was quickly approved in Jinshan, and Xiao Le's contribution as the middleman was a great achievement.

Everything between these two mountains is the best gift he gave to his wife and children.

The development cycle, from land acquisition to completion, would take at least three to five years.

It is expected to be fully developed by 2028. This is also the first five-star scenic spot he built for his family.

The big brat is not even old enough to get a driver's license, but he has already started learning to fly a helicopter.

Chen Pingsheng spent 220 million yuan to order a pink helicopter for her.

There is no way to spend all the money at home, the more you spend, the more you have.

Similarly, he also spent 360 million to order a super yacht for Erpi Ya and placed it in the port of Shanghai.

I'm planning to give it to her as a primary school graduation gift.

The family has three or four super yachts, two or three private jets, and countless houses.

There was no other way. After Tengfei New Energy turned losses into profits, his pressure was greatly reduced.

The future will depend on how well Tengfei AI performs.

By the end of September, Chen Pingsheng had developed the Tengying high-end community for his employees for the fourth time.

The investment amount this time is no less than 40 billion yuan, and it is planned to build 100,000 units at one time.

Completely meet the living needs of Tengying Group employees.

During this period, a major event happened. Two top tycoons in Hong Kong, including several bigwigs in Shanghai, asked him to work together to develop longevity medical technology.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, at their level, there is only one biggest natural enemy.

That is the human lifespan.

Many tycoons including the Hong Kong billionaire Li have invested countless amounts of money in this medical field, which will never be announced to the public.

The greatest fairness in the world is birth, aging, sickness and death. Once this fairness is broken, it is hard to imagine what will happen.

But it is obvious that this fairness will be broken one day.

If Chen Pingsheng had not reached this level, he would probably not be able to get involved in this field. In fact, he started to get involved very early.

According to his understanding, it is no problem for super-rich people to extend their lifespan by five or even ten years.

God knows what will happen if things develop further.

If he wanted, he could also secretly support several such top medical projects.

You can even share the results with other tycoons.

Seriously, he was quite moved.

It was a complete scam for ancient emperors to develop elixirs, but modern medicine has developed for so many years.

Super-rich people can maintain their vitality by replacing organs, including blood transfusions.

Since he is so rich, it is understandable that everyone wants him to participate.

Chen Pingsheng hadn't made up his mind yet, but he still agreed to contribute a portion of the funds every year.

Probably a few billion.

This kind of project will not produce results in one or two years. It will take at least ten or eight years or even longer.

Immortality is certainly not achievable yet, but extending lifespan is certainly not a problem.

As his business grew, many of the world's secrets were gradually revealed to him.

Just like this kind of research and development supported by top wealthy people, it will never be released to the public.

This is obviously a common secret among the rich, including many cancers. Ordinary people are bound to die, but the rich have a certain chance of survival.

The topic of longevity and extending lifespan is just a little secret within this circle.

The series of problems that come with it have also given rise to countless sins.

For example, organ trafficking.

The more I understand, the more I feel that fairness in the future will be further disrupted.

This is completely inseparable from the infinite development of science and technology.

He even thought further and believed that the destruction of the earth must be related to immortality.

This is a temptation that no one can refuse.

Of course, this is still too far-fetched to think about, and he will definitely not live to see that time.

Even if this thing is really developed, it will never be sold to the public.

He just spends billions every year to buy a small opportunity, mainly because this amount of money doesn't matter to him.

He really is that rich.

As he became richer, the group's treatment became better and better.

Not to mention the salary increase, the various surrounding benefits are really unimaginable.

Tengying Group has built too many employee welfare centers in Jinshan, including resorts, five-star hotels, hospitals, schools, etc.

There is everything you need.

He was even so crazy as to spend 30 billion to build the world's largest cruise ship.

This type of cruise ship is also called the City on the Sea and is incredibly large.

Compared with ordinary super yachts, this kind of cruise ship is simply a behemoth.

An ordinary person would have to spend at least hundreds of thousands of dollars for one ride.

The main reason for this is that he earned too much this year and really didn't know how to spend the money.

The 1% of Google that was purchased for more than 70 billion has now grown to a market value of 1.8 trillion US dollars.

Not to mention the net profit of 50 billion, Microsoft also saw a surge this year, and even more exaggerated was Nvidia.

Not only did its market value exceed one trillion US dollars, it even reached an abnormally high of 1.6 trillion US dollars.

He owns over $64 billion in Nvidia stock alone.

Including other stocks, it exceeds 100 billion US dollars.

This does not even include the industries in his country. When he is rich to this extent, his spending depends entirely on his mood.

The main reason is that I made too much money this year.

He was absolutely right in his bet, as the AI ​​industry exploded.

Under this situation, it is possible that Nvidia's value will rise to 3 trillion US dollars in the future.

He makes so much money, so what if he builds a city on the sea for himself?

What’s wrong with buying a few mountains and building world-class mid-mountain luxury hotels!
