Chapter 187: Storm in the Magic City
Although my great-grandfather is already 80 years old.
But there's obviously no major problem with his body, and he can definitely live for a few more years.
Perhaps he was too sad about his children, so he wanted to leave half of the money to the nanny who would take care of him.
The nanny is from another place, so it's impossible to say that she has no thoughts at all.
Chen Pingsheng came here just to keep the matter within a slightly reasonable range.
Even though my great-grandfather said he would give half to the nanny, once he died, his children took the case to court.
The nanny must be resigned.
His suggestion was to give them one million, which his children would accept.
The remaining money will be used to buy a bigger house, and the old house will be demolished. My great-grandfather really dares to give half of the money to the nanny.
I guess there is no one left to take care of you in your old age.
I don’t know since when, even this kind of close relationship has become so cold.
It seems that everyone can do anything for the sake of money.
Chen Pingsheng only proposed a compromise, which was acceptable to everyone else.
After all, the nanny's salary has dropped from 15 million to 1 million, but she is still not satisfied.
I really wanted to piss my great-grandfather off to death on the spot.
I don’t know what will happen then.
My great-grandfather was actually very clear-headed. He was already in his seventies and eighties, so there was nothing he couldn't figure out.
The reason for this is simply that his children hurt him too deeply.
You have to know that his wife passed away early and he raised these people alone.
Anyone who has been a parent knows how difficult it is to raise a child.
As a result, since he got old.
There is not even someone who visits him regularly, and all his illnesses and pains are taken care of by the nanny.
In a fit of anger, he didn't want to give the money to his eldest daughter Liu Xiuai and Liu Fen's younger brother Liu Aihua.
Now, all the money is in the new house. If we want to make a fuss, we have to wait until the day when the old man is about to die.
Chen Pingsheng also solved a small problem.
There will definitely be more trouble later. If you don’t fight now, you will fight over the house later.
That's not his business. There are so many injustices in this world.
If a college student helping an old lady cross the street can cause her lifelong trauma, what else is impossible?
Chen Anan's family is wealthy, so if she does good things, Chen Pingsheng will not stop her.
It’s just that people nowadays are really hard to understand.
It's almost mid-July and the temperature is extremely hot.
He packed his bag and prepared to go to Shanghai to attend the national investment promotion conference for Bobo Milk Tea.
Accompanying him were the big-breasted Chen Anan, his younger sister Chen Qi, and five or six bodyguards.
Although the world is peaceful now, necessary security measures must still be in place.
The three of them took a plane to Hongqiao Airport, with blue sky and white clouds accompanying them all the way.
When they got here, there were skyscrapers everywhere that reached into the sky.
This is very different from the capital, where the buildings are generally not tall.
It’s different in Shanghai, where everything has a tone.
Anyone who comes here is considered an outsider unless they are from Shanghai.
A city full of superiority.
Yang Qian, Chu Qiuyan, Zhao Feifei and the others are all here.
As soon as the three of them got off the plane, an Alpha came to pick them up.
The person who came was naturally Yang Qian, who looked dashing and heroic in her professional attire.
After a year or two of divorce, I came to Beijing and finally found my true self.
Now he is marrying his childhood love Chang Fu, and is just waiting for Bobo Milk Tea to be successfully launched on the market.
Then she would be almost completely financially free.
"boss."
My former classmates now call me boss.
Among the three, Chen Anan's outfit is the most exaggerated
A song that breaks my heart, where can I find a soulmate in this world?
She was carrying a guzheng that was taller than her and holding an erhu in her hand.
Chen Pingsheng suspected that she wanted to come to Shanghai to start a business and become a boss. If that was the case, he would definitely run as far away as possible.
As for my younger sister Chen Qi, she just brought herself here for shopping.
Three people got in the car.
Alphard is not the top MVP, but it is the best-selling nanny car.
The two seats in the middle were occupied by him and his younger sister, so Chen Anan had to sit in the back.
"Boss, I've booked a hotel for you for a week. It's on the Bund."
"Let's go to the hotel first and put our things away."
Yang Qian has been in Shanghai for a while, and anyone who has money will probably like her.
Having no money is a different kind of treatment.
The hotel Yang Qian booked for him overlooks half of the Bund and costs about 150,000 yuan per night.
The booking was for seven days, which is almost one million.
Chen Anan didn't feel anything. This kind of hotel was far inferior to the big yard at home.
The only difference is that the floor is higher and you can see farther.
She was quite curious about this.
Before, my family had always lived in a ground-floor villa, and the courtyard house was also very low.
If I come to Shanghai often in the future, I might consider buying a house here.
In fact, the house no longer has any investment value. You just buy it to live in it yourself.
He just couldn't believe it. The housing prices per square meter in super first-tier cities have risen to 100,000 yuan per square meter, and if they rise further, it will be sky-high.
The main reason is that it is seriously inconsistent with the income of ordinary people.
Yang Qian called Chu Qiuyan and the others over.
Chu Qiuyan is now very famous on the Internet. She is the school beauty goddess and also the entrepreneurial goddess.
He founded such a large milk tea company before he even left school. He can be said to be an inspirational idol for a generation of college students.
Her title actually adds a lot to Bobo Milk Tea.
Many college students particularly like to drink their Bobo milk tea because of this.
A room that costs 150,000 yuan a night must be quite large.
It is about 300 to 400 square meters, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a beautiful view of the Bund, which is most beautiful at night.
After Yang Qian completed the check-in procedures here, her family gave Chen Pingsheng an access card.
For Chen Pingsheng, since he has to come to Shanghai frequently, it is impossible for him to be without a car.
Yang Qian bought one in advance and parked it downstairs in the hotel. It was a Rolls-Royce Ghost worth more than 5 million yuan.
It is his first car in Shanghai.
Just go to the finance department to get the money for the car.
After she went down, Chen Anan immediately jumped out and said, "Dad, there's no place in the world where you can find a soulmate. This is a good place to make money!"
"If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't stop you."
Big Butt Kid is also a genius, ever since he watched a Stephen Chow movie at home.
She even changed her slogan.
Moreover, he actually spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy himself a large 18k gold bowl.
In her own words, it's normal for you to throw a few pieces at me when I use a porcelain bowl.
If I use a large bowl made of 18K pure gold, you will have to spend at least ten or twenty dollars.
Chen Pingsheng was speechless. It seemed that Big Brat was well versed in investment.
If she still pretends to be blind later, I will definitely not remind her if the bowl is stolen.
The father and daughter stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, quietly looking at the beautiful Bund scenery of Shanghai.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, I ordered a king crab to be sent to the suite, and also ordered a large Australian lobster.
Chen Anan ate half and wasted the other half.
She thought it tasted very good and wanted to eat it again tomorrow.
Night is coming.
In the foreign concessions, the lights are coming on.
There were people coming and going on the Bund, and Chen Anan took her big golden bowl and really went out to the street to start her own business and become a boss.
Several bodyguards followed her. Chen Pingsheng originally wanted to just take a look upstairs.
After thinking about it, he went down. He really liked the shameless attitude of the big brat.
After begging him several times, he finally refused to fool around with her.
But if you think about it carefully, isn't every stage of her mischief a sign of her growing up?
When the day comes when she stops acting up, maybe she has grown up.
And this age of mischief is exactly the time of childhood.
The wind from the Bund carries a scent of luxury.
The price of housing in this place is so high that it makes ordinary people despair.
There is a unique scent of perfume in the air, which is the unique exquisiteness of this city.
Rich people from Guangdong are called beggars when they come here.
Flip-flops, a big vest.
The rich people from the capital are also inconspicuous here.
The exquisiteness of Shanghai is something that only people living in this city can understand.
Chen Anan deliberately chose a crowded place outside the hotel.
She took out her big golden bowl and then put out the guzheng. She put on big sunglasses and squatted on the side of the road leisurely, playing the erhu in the moonlight.
"Is this little girl begging?"
"It seems so. She doesn't look pitiful to me, does she?"
"Does missing limbs have to be considered pitiful?"
Passersby have seen everything, but they have never seen anyone begging with a big golden bowl.
No one has considered pure gold yet.
The people on the Bund looked like a fashion show, all dressed exquisitely.
Chen Pingsheng, who was standing by, saw that she was not shy at all and would undoubtedly be a big shot in the community when she grew up.
He also stood beside her and asked her curiously and seriously for the first time: "Chen Anan, what is the meaning of doing this?"
"Of course I want to make money, Dad. I told you I want to be self-reliant."
Okay, just be self-reliant.
Chen Pingsheng stood beside her silently, with his hands in his pockets, not caring at all.
His lonely appearance in the cold river really made Chen Anan look even more pitiful.
When Chu Qiuyan, Zhao Feifei and the others came over, they were completely stunned.
What are you doing?
The big boss's daughter?
Begging there?
No, it should be a talent show, with a big golden bowl on display.
There was some money slowly appearing in the bowl, but the urban management officers came very quickly.
Chen Anan moved his position and ran to the hotel entrance to set up.
The people inside wanted to chase her away, so the bodyguard immediately came out.
Staying in the presidential suite is just for fun.
Do you really think that you have to beg because your family has no money?
Chen Pingsheng asked Chu Qiuyan and the others to sit in the hotel for a while, and he stayed with Big Brat.
Sometimes I really don't understand what she's thinking.
An eight-year-old kid can do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't bully others and has the right values.
She kept her stall open until nine o'clock before closing it. The people in this place were quite generous and she earned a few hundred dollars in an hour.
Laugh out loud.
She turned around and went in with her hands behind her back. Naturally, someone helped her pack her things.
Chu Qiuyan and the others came to discuss the national investment promotion conference in mid-July.
It has been promoted for a long time and has been very popular on the Internet.
There will be at least a thousand people attending, and Yang Mi will also be there in person.
Even he, the big boss, came in person.
It can be seen that the group still cares a lot about this matter.
Chen Pingsheng just listened for a while and didn't understand much in detail.
One hundred thousand yuan in franchise fee.
As long as it can help everyone make money, there will naturally be many people willing to join.
Especially since "Hua Qiangu" has not finished airing yet, Bobo Milk Tea's exclusive "Hua Qiangu" co-branded milk tea has become extremely popular.
I'm not worried at all that this franchise conference won't go smoothly.
Tong Zelan went to Hong Kong to find a securities company again to discuss Bobo Milk Tea's backdoor listing plan.
Actually, it’s still about price.
It is also to let the person in charge there come and see their investment and franchise conference.
Speaking of which, Chu Qiuyan hasn't graduated yet, and Zhao Feifei who is with her naturally hasn't graduated either.
There were four best friends in their dormitory, and they opened a milk tea shop outside the school together.
Now they are all in the Magic City, and they have also come here.
We were originally on the same path, but no one expected that after just half a year, the gap between us would be as huge as a chasm.
Back then, Han Jia and Xu Qin each took 1 million yuan to withdraw from Bobo Milk Tea.
At that time, I thought I had gotten a huge bargain.
But now.
Zhao Feifei, who only owns 3% of Bobo Milk Tea's shares, can easily achieve financial freedom in a blink of an eye.
The gap between them is huge.
The Bund's river cruise seemed quite nice, so Chen Pingsheng went with them, feeling the evening breeze by the river while taking a look at this great city.
"Dad, I love the Magic City so much."
Chen Anan stood at the bow of the ship. She really liked the Magic City, which was much more low-key and introverted than the capital.
Everything here seems to be made for money.
"If you like me, come and stay here often."
Chen Pingsheng touched her little head and realized that his own daughter only felt pain by herself.
Chen Anan's eyes sparkled, "Dad, I want to buy a big house in this area."
"If you want to buy it, just buy it. The housing prices here are not high."
The young people on the boat were almost speechless after hearing what he said. What do you mean the housing prices here are not high?
It’s already over 100,000 per square meter!
How could this little girl buy it just because she wanted to?
Are you kidding me?
Little did people know that when Chen Pingsheng said it was not high, he was actually comparing it with his courtyard house.
Compared to the unfinished house that costs 500,000 per square meter over there, is 100,000 more expensive?
Just sprinkle some water.
His wife liked the beautiful Jindao villa in Tianjin, so she bought it just because she wanted to.
His daughter likes the Bund, but that doesn’t mean she can just buy a house whenever she wants.
He didn't even think of going with her to see it.
Just ask her aunt to go. Her aunt has nothing to do anyway. She comes to Shanghai to shop in big and small bags.
"Uncle, I know which house is better around here."
Chu Qiuyan is not as socially anxious as before, and her career still supports her.
I feel much more confident overall.
"The house is nothing special. Let her aunt take her to see it tomorrow."
Chen Pingsheng said, "I can't stay here for too long. I'll be heading back to the capital as soon as your investment conference is over. Yang Mi should be here the day after tomorrow."
"It would be great if she came. I was really worried that with so many people, the atmosphere wouldn't be manageable."
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said nothing. After all, Chu Qiuyan was still a college student.
Maybe it will take a few more years of training before I can truly stand on my own.
This is good enough now.
Anyone who comes to Shanghai will know how prosperous it is.
Any pair of shoes in the streets and alleys of Nanjing costs several thousand yuan.
the next day.
After they heard that the soup dumplings at a restaurant here were particularly delicious, they drove the Gust that Yang Qian had sent over to try some.
The food in Shanghai is completely different from that in Beijing.
This part of the capital is closer to the south and the food here tends to be light and sweet.
He doesn't really like to eat it anyway, but the big-breasted kid is used to eating it anywhere.
As long as it tastes good.
He hadn't originally planned to accompany her to look at houses. Tong Zelan hadn't come back yet, and he didn't have many places to go.
I'll just take her on this trip.
The place Chu Qiuyan introduced yesterday was the famous Tomson Yipin.
Tomson One is the first high-end real estate in China to break the RMB 100,000 per square meter mark.
It went on sale in 2005 and caused a huge sensation across the country.
Countless people said it was crazy, but the real estate industry was crazy about it.
It sold very few units in those years, and it was not until after 2008 that it was sold at a 50% discount.
Didn't sell much either.
Twelve years later, the real estate prices in these first-tier cities also skyrocketed.
There are high-end properties everywhere with prices exceeding 100,000 yuan per square meter.
Tomson One is right next to the Bund, with great views. Although the building is a bit old, it doesn’t look outdated at all.
Chen Anan, with her hands behind her back, was full of disappointment. This was the house that required a capital verification of 100 million yuan before she could even see it?
It is far less comfortable than her courtyard house.
That is to say, live high and see far.
The aquarium in her own room cost tens of millions, and she can feel the charm of the ocean up close without turning on the lights.
Here you can only see the river view.
"Dad, this house is expensive and ugly. I don't like it."
It’s hard to guess what the little girl is thinking, but the salesperson who brought her on the tour was dumbfounded.
Some people say that the houses here are not good-looking. Do you live in a palace?
If they hadn't come in a Rolls-Royce with five or six bodyguards around them, we would have had to verify their capital first.
"You don't come here often, so buying something this big is pointless."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Dad, let me tell you, a house doesn't have to be big to be comfortable. The key is to have a sense of home."
After a pause, he continued, "How about this? There are manors in Shanghai that are big enough to play football in the yard. Dad and you can go buy one of those, and then buy a smaller one on the Bund. What do you think?"
"Is it still possible?"
Chen Anan's eyes lit up, "Dad, I want to be able to play football at home."
"Okay then."
Chen Pingsheng took her away. This is what Yipin is like. Real rich people would never look down on it.
I have seen many nice houses owned by rich people, so how can I be impressed by the beautiful scenery of the Bund?
Chen Pingsheng took her to buy a small house of 180 square meters near the Bund, with a floor price of less than 30 million yuan.
150,000 yuan per square meter, the decoration is very exquisite and very warm.
It has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and a large balcony facing the Bund. After he bought it, he asked someone to come and clean it up.
Next time I come to Shanghai, I will just stay in this house.
Pretty good.
Chen Pingsheng took his big-breasted kid to see the most luxurious mansion in Shanghai.
The yard is big enough for playing football. It covers an area of about five acres and the interior decoration cost more than 100 million yuan.
It is only 17 kilometers away from the Bund.
The listed price is 580 million yuan, a genuine king-of-the-building villa.
Chen Anan really likes this price.
Unfortunately, he couldn't handle it all at once.
Left without buying anything.
Big Brat didn't say anything, as there were already enough houses at home.
If I really want to buy such a big one, it will probably be for the nanny to live in.
It is difficult for a family to stay here more than a few times a year.
There is absolutely no need to do that. I liked it but still didn’t buy it.
It’s pretty good to have a 180-square-meter fully furnished apartment near the Bund.
When she is older, or he has more money, if she still wants it, then he can buy it for her.
This kind of villa is very difficult to sell even after being listed for several years.
The main reason is that the rich have luxury houses where they live for a long time.
Those who don’t have money simply can’t afford to buy a house when it loses its investment properties.
Rich people are not fools.
Few people are willing to spend too much money on it.
It would be better to just invest or deposit the money in the bank and earn interest than this.
He is considering selling all the extra houses in Beijing by the end of this year or next year.
It would be a good idea to use that money to invest in another Tenghui Department Store.
Make tens of millions a year steadily.
However, he also discovered one thing when he came to Shanghai: the transfer fees for large stores with good locations here are extremely high.
The rent is higher than that in Beijing.
An investment of 10 million for a single Shuiyunjian store might not be enough.
It’s just that housing prices have risen too fast in the past two years.
He estimated that Shui Yunjian's investment in a single store in Shanghai would be at least between 15 million and 20 million.
If housing prices double, investment must also double.
Fortunately, his wife bought a lot of houses in the early years, and their prices have increased now.
It just offsets the doubling of investment caused by housing price inflation.
