It's the last day of April.
Chen Pingsheng moved his family to the Magic City.
He was busy until the evening, and then he and his secretary Zhang Wanyi, who had also not eaten yet, prepared to go to the Bund to taste some authentic local food.
Tomorrow is Gao Hu's wedding day in Beijing. A lot of relatives are coming, but he didn't go to join in the fun.
After 12 o'clock tonight, the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" invested by Tengying Entertainment will be released.
This is one of the top five box office hits of the year and is definitely the most profitable film of Tencent Film Entertainment to date.
In the past, he might have been looking forward to it.
It’s actually not that bad now. After all, I just got more than 10 billion and spent more than 8 billion casually. I’m not excited about the small goal of a few hundred million anymore.
The Magic City is still very prosperous, and the Bund is also very lively.
Countless young people come and go here to enjoy the night view of the Bund.
After a while, Jiang Peiyao also came over, and the three of them walked together along the Bund.
"Brother-in-law, are you going back to the capital tomorrow?"
"Yes, we will be living in the Magic City most of the time from now on. Your cousin also wants to settle here."
Everything about Beijing is good, except that it doesn't feel very safe.
Chen Pingsheng never told his little cousin about this.
"That's great! From now on, I can go to my brother-in-law's house for dinner every day."
Jiang Peiyao was very happy and her two little canine teeth showed when she smiled.
"You eat so much good food every day that you're almost eating yourself to the point where you're not photogenic anymore."
People who have great figures in real life will look a little fat in front of the camera.
The best weight for female stars is around 90 kilograms.
"I'm so worried. I want to eat well but I can't get fat."
Jiang Peiyao blinked her long eyelashes and asked him, "Brother-in-law, can Tengying Entertainment's stock price still rise to more than 40 billion?"
"Of course."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Why are you asking this? Did you use all your private money to speculate in stocks?"
"It's just over a million. I don't have much to spend. I just like to have some snacks every day. I bought it when the market value dropped to over 20 billion. Many of us trainees also bought it."
"Keep it. I might be able to buy you a small house later."
Chen Pingsheng reminded her, "Stock trading is risky, and it's not easy for you to make money, so don't jump in lightly."
"I know, I just buy my own stocks."
Jiang Peiyao giggled.
After walking for a while, Chen Pingsheng called her home.
The most beautiful thing about his 120 million yuan apartment is the night view of the Huangpu River.
Sitting on that big balcony, lying in a rocking chair, with a glass of Wuyishan Dahongpao next to you, life is quite comfortable.
Jiang Peiyao made tea for him and was very happy thinking that her brother-in-law would be living in Shanghai permanently next month.
The next day, Chen Pingsheng flew back to Beijing early in the morning.
The May Day holiday is here, and Gao Hu's wedding is also being held in Beijing. As one of his brothers' best men, he has to be present.
The wedding was very grand, and there were many guests.
It's very lively with people coming and going.
It was not until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that he had time to go and get together with Chang Fu, Zhang Tao and others.
"Old Chen, I heard you were moving to Shanghai. Why so sudden?"
Zhang Tao, who was also accompanying Lang, asked.
"It's not that sudden, it's just that now that we've reached this stage, some things need to be thought about in advance."
"What on earth are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Just focus on selling fruit. You don't need to know too much."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Think about it. We've made a lot of money over the past few years thanks to Tengying Entertainment's traffic, but our impact on society and our contribution to society are pitifully small. We've only managed to improve employee compensation within our group."
"Isn't that the case with everyone?"
Zhang Tao asked him puzzledly. He still hadn't figured it out, so why was this guy already thinking about these issues?
Chen Pingsheng explained: "What you said is true for everyone. That was in the 1990s, when society had just started reform and opening up, and businessmen were needed to lead the charge. Now the times are different. This era is about industrial upgrading."
"To put it bluntly, the reason we businessmen can make money is mainly due to our dependence on this land. Once you leave this land, you are nothing."
"Do you know why new energy has become so popular in the past two years?"
Zhang Tao replied: "It's because the market potential is huge and the future profit margin is high."
"What you said is just a small aspect."
Chen Pingsheng said: "The reason why new energy is so popular is mainly because it involves the most critical part of the country's economic reform, that is, industrial upgrading."
"Think about it, what has driven the domestic economy these years? It's mainly real estate. From 1998, when real estate was designated a pillar industry, to now, housing prices have been rising for a full 18 years."
"The country can't always rely on real estate to prop up the economy. Just like the easy life in the 1990s, it's similar to the current real estate situation in China. The real estate bubble evaporated 90% of the housing prices in a short period of time, and many people jumped off buildings."
"At that time, many experts said that Xiaori's economy would regress by at least 20 years, and might even never recover. But look at what Xiaori is like now. To put it bluntly, even without housing prices, it still has the strongest home appliance and automobile industries in the world."
"It is precisely because of these that we can quickly recover from the housing price avalanche."
"In our country, from the early years of reform and opening up to the present, the real estate industry has benefited the most. Other industries were initially outsourced to large foreign companies and were completely at the bottom of the market."
"Then in the 1990s, the idea of exchanging market share for technology was proposed, leading to a slow and difficult industrial upgrade. Now look at new energy today."
"Cars are undoubtedly the world's largest consumer product. Nothing can compare to them. In the field of fuel vehicles, foreign countries have been ahead for many years. We simply cannot surpass them."
"But new energy is different. This is a brand new track, and our country has the most complete supply chain. It can be said that the new energy track is not only another major global trend after smartphones, but also concerns national-level strategy, that is, the direction of industrial upgrading."
"A car is more than just a tool that runs on the road. It involves thousands of parts. If you add all these things up, you can imagine how huge the industry chain is."
"You don't want to work in new energy, do you?"
Chang Fu asked him in surprise, they have always been rooted and growing in the traditional track, and in this field, it can be said that there are few competitors. Is it necessary to go into a track that they are not familiar with at all?
“Whether you want to do it is one thing, but whether you should do it is another.”
Chen Pingsheng said, "Ever since Chu Qiuyan's university speech, I've been reflecting on why our Tengying Group remains so fragile despite its development to this day. Simply because Chu Qiuyan said in university that we wouldn't hire university graduates with connections or family backgrounds, the stock prices of all the listed companies in the group collapsed, even though our business performance far exceeded market expectations."
"Later, I gradually figured it out. To put it bluntly, the main reason for this is because I don't have a very high background, and there are no big figures behind me."
"The second is that looking at our entire Tengying Group, it has not made any significant contribution or special significance to society or even the country."
"We think we are rich and powerful, but in the eyes of the capital market or some people, we are still vulnerable."
"So, I have to think about how to change this situation, that is, to increase the group's influence in society, or to increase my personal influence in society. The best way is undoubtedly to participate in industrial upgrading at the national level."
It was very unexpected.
Zhang Tao never thought that Chen Pingsheng, who used to sell durian with him on the street a few years ago, would now have to think about this kind of problem.
The same goes for Changfu.
All he thought about was making money, and he didn't really think too much about what would happen after he made the money.
Chen Pingsheng told him through his actions.
After making money, you must keep up with the development of the times.
Or, become a small part in promoting the progress of the times.
Only in this way can the group be at peace and he himself can be at peace.
Chen Pingsheng plans to raise 20 billion yuan within the next two months.
Officially started the new energy project. (End of this chapter)
