In Yuhang, the Chen family's old residence is bustling with activity.
Tomorrow is the 60th birthday of Chen Tai, the head of the Chen family.
All members of the Chen family arrived early to help with the arrangements.
As the organizer of this banquet, Chen Tianhai was naturally extremely busy.
"Mr. Chen, Yu Zhiwei, the most famous chef in Hangzhou, has arrived with a group of chefs." At this moment, a subordinate walked over and said.
"Have them go to the kitchen and immediately begin preparing the birthday banquet. Provide them with all the necessary materials," Chen Tianhai said with a wave of his hand.
"yes..."
"Mr. Chen, all the tables and chairs have arrived!" At this moment, another subordinate ran over to report.
"Move everything down and set it up in the yard."
"yes..."
When will all the utensils needed for the banquet arrive?
"They are already on their way."
"I believe it will arrive soon..."
"Um..."
Compared to the bustling front yard, the back yard was much quieter.
Inside the main house, Chen Tai, dressed in bright red funeral attire, was talking with three elderly men.
These three elderly men are Chen Tai's younger brothers: Chen Guo, Chen Shun, and Chen An.
Although the three of them did not achieve the same level of success as Chen Tai, they were all doing very well in the local business world.
Chen Guo is a real estate tycoon in Hangzhou. His Hengtian Group is the largest real estate company in Hangzhou, occupying half of the real estate industry.
Although he has stepped down and handed the group over to his son Chen Tianyi, he still lives a very comfortable life, enjoying fine clothes and food, and being accompanied by socialites and beauties every day.
Chen Shun entered the printing industry, initially printing novels and magazines. Because of the high quality of printing and the few errors, he was noticed by newspapers and received orders every day. Recently, through his connections, he got in touch with the National Education Bureau and started printing textbooks. His business is increasing every day, and money is flowing into his account like snowflakes. If this continues, it is not impossible that Shuntong Printing will rise to become the number one printing group in the country in a few years.
Chen An is venturing into the food industry. His chain, "The First Taste of the Tongue," has spread to every corner of Hangzhou. His next step is to enter Jingling and tap into the Jingling market.
His daughter, Chen Tianqi, has a keen business sense. Under her leadership, "The First Taste of Hangzhou" has successively defeated well-known restaurants such as Zhiweiguan and Dongpo Lou, becoming the number one food in Hangzhou.
To establish brand recognition, she also spent a lot of money on advertising.
If you come to Hangzhou and visit West Lake, it would be a pity not to taste a dish that is considered the most delicious on the tongue!
As soon as the advertisement was released, the store was almost overwhelmed by tourists.
They all wanted to try the first dish to savor its unique flavor, so as not to have any regrets.
The advertising effect, coupled with the elegant environment and the uniquely prepared cuisine, has made tourists exclaim with delight, and positive reviews have skyrocketed.
Today, "The First Taste of the Trip" is a well-known brand in Hangzhou.
The valuation is over one billion.
Of course, the achievements of the three of them are indeed remarkable.
But even with Chen Tai's help, it's still far from enough.
Chen Tai dedicated half his life to China Overseas, laying the foundation for the establishment of Haitian Company.
Although he has now retired, his influence remains.
Under Chen Tianhai's leadership, Haitian Company also performed remarkably well.
He stood out from hundreds of companies, and his status is now approaching that of China Ocean Shipping's largest company, Jiuzhou Group. In particular, the several companies he established in recent years have been profitable year after year, with profits multiplying, making a huge contribution to Haitian Group.
Although Chen An and his two companions were capable, they found it difficult to establish themselves in a major international metropolis like Shanghai, and eventually had to retreat to the second tier, settling down in Hangzhou, a city second only to Shanghai in size.
In front of Chen Tianhai, they no longer spoke with their previous arrogance and appeared much more humble.
"The Chen family has been in business for generations, and all members of the family have a strong business talent."
"By our generation, we have all established our own business territories in various industries. Given the current situation, it is not impossible for us to build business empires in the future."
"I'm very pleased," Chen Tai said with a hearty laugh.
“The Chen family is hardworking and has a keen business sense; it would be hard for them not to succeed!” Chen Guo nodded and said.
"Among our generation, the one with the strongest business talent is that old ghost, but he's already dead!" Chen Shun chuckled and said.
"Chen Ding?" Chen Tai asked.
"Who else could it be but him!"
“Don’t call him ‘Old Ghost,’ that’s the eldest brother!” Chen Tai said.
"Big brother, the ghost's big brother!"
“I never considered him an older brother at all.”
"You still hold a grudge against him for punching you?" Chen Tai asked.
“He almost beat me to death back then!” Chen Shun said through gritted teeth.
Let's not talk about things from when we were kids!
"Have you forgotten why your older brother beat you up?" Chen Guo said.
"It's just ten yuan, is it really that big of a deal?" Chen Shun said angrily.
"Back then, ten yuan was enough for an average person to live on for two months," Chen Guo shook his head.
"Your older brother beat you up to teach you a lesson, and it's for your own good."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Tomorrow is Second Brother's birthday banquet, why bring this up? It's bad luck!" Chen An said, trying to smooth things over.
"Although my elder brother is dead, his son was born with his strong business talent. He used the 100,000 yuan scholarship he received during his university years to found Kyushu Company. In just ten years, it became the number one group company in China, and its growth was astonishing."
"If this growth rate continues, there will be no problem in dominating the business world in China."
"What will happen to Haitan then?"
"Will it be swallowed up, or destroyed?" Chen Tai frowned.
“If that day truly comes, his plans will likely extend to the entire country, and the empires you have built will be swallowed up one by one,” he added.
"This little beast, he wouldn't turn against the family, would he?" Chen Guo said.
"I also hope he won't, but the business world is like a battlefield, and when it comes to matters of interest, no one can say for sure."
"Besides, even brothers should keep clear accounts!"
"If it really comes to that, don't blame us for turning against you," Chen Guo sneered.
"right."
"If Chen Tiansheng really pushes us too far, then we might as well take action and finish him off."
"Anyway, I just don't like that kid!" Chen Shun said.
"Father, uncles, there's no need to worry about this."
At this moment, Chen Tianhai chuckled and walked in.
After busying himself in the front yard for a while and finishing up, he went to the back yard to rest.
As I passed by the main house, I overheard the conversation and immediately went inside.
"Tianhai, do you have a good plan?" The group turned their gazes to Chen Tianhai.
"Tianhai, are you hiding something from me?" No one knows a son better than his father. Seeing Chen Tianhai's constantly shifting eyes, Chen Tai knew that this kid was probably hiding something from him.
