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....
My little sister was scolded again.
This time she no longer dared to plead for Hu Qilin. She could only wait until the half-month period was over so that Hu Qilin could come out of that place.
This is probably the greatest comfort.
But whenever you go in, there will be some files left.
This kind of thing does not have much impact on them, nor will it affect Hu Qilin's inheritance of the family business in the future.
The family meeting will not change because of her alone, but the family now focuses on the second generation.
Chen Pingsheng and his generation are already old, and the next things to be discussed are nothing more than the same things.
In addition to their immediate family members, all of the Chen family's collateral relatives can access the family fund.
Funds are roughly divided into two categories, one of which is venture capital funds.
This requires relatives to have certain talents to receive it. Another type is similar to the prodigal son fund that Chen Lu received.
It’s just that the amount I receive every month is not as high as his.
The amount that collateral relatives can receive is only 200,000 yuan per month.
The reason why it is controlled at around 200,000 is because this is already the income ceiling for ordinary people.
It cannot make people rich overnight, nor can it become a tool for relatives to do evil.
If you use it to live, you can live very well in any city.
Among the family's collateral relatives, as many as eighteen people are currently receiving this fund.
There are only a few people who are truly capable in any place, and being ordinary is the destination of most people.
In the future, there will definitely be more branches of the Chen family who will have to rely on this fund to survive.
Chen Pingsheng invested nearly 3 billion yuan in this, and the interest generated each year was enough to pay for the living expenses of these people.
Someone proposed in a video that this limit be increased from 200,000 yuan per month to 600,000 yuan.
Basically, they felt that Chen Pingsheng was too rich, so he shouldn't set the monthly living expenses for them so low.
This is a good suggestion. The person who made this suggestion will be expelled from the fund.
He does nothing but wants to increase the cost of living. Who does he think he is?
He is just the eldest grandson of my second uncle.
He relied on family funds to get married and have children. He couldn't even get into college and never found a job after graduating from high school. The reason he felt his living expenses were too little.
The main reason was that the mistress he kept cost too much money. When she heard that he was from Old Chen's family, she secretly whispered in his ear every day, asking him to find ways to increase his monthly living expenses.
This way she will have the opportunity to carry the latest LV limited edition bag.
Such a smart person should not receive the family fund. Let him support himself for a while, and he will know whether it is too much or too little to earn 200,000 yuan every month without doing anything.
In fact, there are many people who have the same idea as him, but he is just the first one to speak out.
Chen Pingsheng's words made them dare not say anything more.
Anyone who wants to increase their living expenses should go out to work.
They really never thought that with 200,000 yuan a month, they could still be an ordinary person with a little money.
If we give them two million, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people like Hu Qilin and Song Chaoqun emerging.
Managing money is also a skill.
Apart from wanting to increase living expenses, Chen Pingsheng found that none of them proposed improving family education.
After all, these side branches are still unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Chen Pingsheng turned off the video call with them, and he only spoke to them a few words during the annual family meeting.
Normally, these people have few opportunities to see him.
All we can say is that it is an inevitable result when the gap reaches a certain level.
After finishing the video call with the collateral branch, Chen Pingsheng made several clear requests and suggestions within the family.
As parents, we must not only ask our children to study hard, but we ourselves must also set an example by continuing to learn.
He almost named his younger sister Chen Qi and sister-in-law Song Wu.
Both of them are uneducated and come to him whenever they have problems. How can this be possible?
There was nothing much to say about the other people. Xiao Le even invited him to visit the county where he was working in September.
Chen Pingsheng agreed that he should go and take a look and go back to the Magic City at the same time.
Except for Xiao Le, Chen Lu didn't say a word. If you ask him, he will just listen to you.
An An doesn't plan to have a third child in the short term, or even in the future.
It was enough for her to have two sons.
Just let nature take its course. Erya and Su Xiaoxi are both about to give birth, so they need to take good care of themselves in the next two months.
Peng Ying also stayed in Hong Kong to receive the best medical care here. She wanted to live a few more years, at least to see her eldest grandson grow up.
When the family meeting ended, Chen Pingsheng also went to the Hong Kong Institute of Economics.
We evaluate the development trends of future global industries and policy impacts every year.
It must be said that with the development to this point, the group is no longer controlled by Chen Pingsheng alone. Too many super brains are working together in it.
The bigger the group grows, the more it needs a healthy system and corporate culture.
To put it bluntly, it is to completely get rid of the cult of personality or the culture of strongmen.
The future development of the group cannot be determined by the strength of one person.
It should rely on healthy mechanisms and culture to jointly drive the group forward.
Chen Pingsheng started doing this more than ten years ago, and the results are very good so far.
At least in the past ten years since his retirement, the group has developed very well.
Gradually, the group has removed the marks he once left.
Only some good spirit or culture remains.
This is the path that any super-large group must take, when the group's development and honor and disgrace all depend on one person.
There is a high probability that this group will not last long.
In the next few decades, Chen Pingsheng will only be a spectator here, or a consultant, accompanying it through the remaining decades of his life.
His life is finite, but the group's life is infinite.
Among the second generation, only An An can inherit part of the family business.
Chen Lu has completely lost hope at the moment.
Erya is going to engage in global capital herself. Once her generation succeeds, they will no longer be able to become a leader who can truly inherit the family's technology industry.
These groups are likely to give back to society and move towards a complete de-privatization and family-based approach.
He cultivated three generations with such care, simply because he didn't want it to come to this.
When it comes to family inheritance, everyone has their own way.
Chen Pingsheng himself didn't know how the next three generations would develop.
But what he is still doing now, in addition to training Xiao Jiye and others, is to protect his family's properties.
Try not to let them deviate from the direction of good development.
It must be said that when the group develops to a certain extent, it is no longer just one or two people.
Chen Pingsheng, who is not short of money, also wants to buy more land in Hong Kong to build something he likes.
Unfortunately, most of the land in Hong Kong has been sold out, and now we can only rely on land reclamation projects to increase the land area.
Wherever there is space for building houses, it has basically been fully utilized.
Chen Pingsheng stayed here for two or three days. In addition to confirming some matters within the family, the rest was to mobilize some of his own funds for investment.
His annual expenses are actually very low now, and most of them are used to make money.
His personal shares, including the annual net profit of global industries, are enough to buy a headquarters building worth hundreds of billions of yuan in Hong Kong every year.
Once the money is accumulated, it really becomes a numbers game.
This game can make people addicted and easily forget their true nature, turning them into real capitalists who only have money but no sense of family and country, or even emotions.
Chen Pingsheng doesn't want to become like that, so he has always maintained his investment in Tengnong Breeding and the new rural industry.
The amount of money spent on charitable projects each year is basically no less than 20 to 30 billion.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.
If he doesn't take the initiative to give away his money, I'm afraid many people will find ways to target him.
It's a pity that he couldn't bring little Jiye here to learn about this.
The days passed slowly, and after some time had passed in August.
Hu Qilin, who had been in prison for half a month, came out with a haggard face.
He used to like to maintain his image, but now he is probably being taught a lesson in life.
When Hu Qilin came out, only Chen Qi and Hu Lin went to pick him up, and no one else from the Chen family showed up.
Even his friends didn't come to pick him up.
Little sister Chen Qi was so heartbroken, she felt as if her son had suffered a great disaster.
"Qilin, it must be uncomfortable in there, come home with me and take a shower."
"Mom...why did you let me out now? Uncle, didn't you go find him?"
"You still dare to mention your uncle?"
Hu Lin is a very methodical person in everything he does, unlike his younger sister Chen Qi who is partial to others without any reason.
"You've caused such a big disaster, and you still want your uncle to help you. Why don't you think about your own problems more?"
"Dad, please stop talking. Every time I have a problem, you don't do anything and just scold me."
Hu Qilin was obviously blaming him for not being capable, otherwise how could he have gotten in.
"Don't you dare say that about your dad? Go home and take a shower first. After that, I'll take you to see your uncle."
How could Chen Qi not feel sorry for his only son? Spoiling a child is like killing him.
She is an amazing mother.
If Hu Lin hadn't been there talking beside him, Hu Qilin would have probably died today.
It's definitely not as simple as just stealing someone else's girlfriend.
After he returned home and washed up, Chen Qi drove him to find Chen Pingsheng.
Chen Qi always felt that his elder brother was now focusing all his attention on Xiao Jiye. After all, his surname was Chen, so the treatment was different.
She was even thinking, if something happens to little Jiye when he grows up, will his eldest brother still be so fair and reasonable?
I'm afraid he will do the same as me, helping the child get home first, and then talking about his own family behind closed doors.
After all, his surname is still Hu. There is a world of difference between them just by that level of separation, Chen Qi thought secretly.
Chen Pingsheng doesn't have much time to go out anymore. He usually goes to a barbecue restaurant or takes Xiao Jiye out to play.
When younger sister Chen Qi came over again, she brought some gifts for Xiao Jiye.
"Brother, Qilin is out."
"Oh... once you get out you can continue stealing other people's girlfriends!"
"Brother, how can you say that?"
Chen Qi pulled his arm and said, "You know Qilin listens to you the most, so you should teach him well from now on."
"I can't teach that."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Put aside your own desire to spoil your son. It's better than anything else. For the next three years, you are not allowed to give him any money, let alone any resources. Just let him withdraw 200,000 yuan from the family fund every month for living expenses."
"I'm afraid this won't work?"
Chen Qi retorted, "Two hundred thousand a month, and he can't even afford his top-of-the-line Ferrari."
"If 200,000 isn't enough, how do so many ordinary people who earn only 5,000 or 6,000 a month survive?"
Chen Pingsheng said, "From today on, everything Hu Qilin does outside of the family cannot represent our Chen family, let alone the image of our Tengying Group, including Tengfei Technology Industry. In other words, everything he does will have nothing to do with me."
"Brother, how could you do this?"
"No matter what I do, do I have to be like you, making mistakes and bringing them home without any consequences?"
Chen Pingsheng shook his head. "If you were in charge of the family, this wouldn't take three years, it would be completely ruined in three months."
What he said was not an exaggeration at all. The son he raised even dared to snatch marriages within the system.
The most tacit principle among the second generation of rich people is that they cannot talk about things within the system to outsiders.
It's easy to get into trouble, not to mention someone like him who directly snatches someone's marriage partner.
This kind of person can no longer be simply described as a prodigal son, but is so stupid that he wants to destroy his own foundation.
I have to add some firewood at home to feel at ease.
As the head of the family, I must distance myself from him.
This will prevent him from harming others and himself in the future, and also bringing trouble to everyone.
Chen Qi was speechless. She wanted to pull Hu Qilin to apologize, but she didn't expect that her brother would break off relations with her before she even opened her mouth.
How much does he dislike her Qilin?
Anyway, in Chen Qi's opinion, Hu Qilin is good in every way, he just likes a woman, what's the big deal.
"Brother, give him another chance, I promise he won't do it again."
"What guarantee can you give me? Is it your cheongsam group or the billions at home?"
Chen Pingsheng said, "If you really want this for his own good, then just listen to me and let him fend for himself for three years. He can only receive a maximum of 200,000 yuan in living expenses each month. If you don't listen to me, then it's up to you. Anyway, now that I've made my promise, if your son gets into trouble again, no one else needs to be informed in advance. Just do as you please."
The long period of comfort also made them forget one thing: if it weren't for Chen Pingsheng's management over the years, everyone would have been able to live in peace and stability until now.
It is no exaggeration to say that they have more money than money and more power than power.
Even someone as strong as Chen Pingsheng is always low-key.
When a family or an individual becomes so inflated that they forget these things.
There is no doubt that this is the beginning of destruction.
Chen Pingsheng could no longer provide shelter for people who had no reverence.
No matter how my younger sister views him, he will only make this choice.
I will definitely not change my mind because of someone in my family.
Before my younger sister became a mother, she had lost even the most basic cognition. There are so many second-generation troublemakers who only dare to do evil because they have a mother who dotes on them.
Without the protection of family, one will feel the pain after getting into trouble once or twice, and the fear of getting into trouble a third time will be infinitely reduced.
The opposite is also true. (End of this chapter)
