Chapter 330 Human Greed



Heat Vision's crashing down.

It caught the business world off guard. How can we describe the impact of the sudden collapse of a business myth like this?

Thousands of retail investors who bought Reshi stocks over the years saw their stocks become worthless overnight.

Among them are office workers who work diligently every day, save money and use the remaining salary to invest in stocks.

There are also various retired uncles and aunts, and countless people sitting on the bus watching the stock market trading curve charts in despair.

He will return to China next week, but what he gets in return is the tears of millions of retail investors and the overall decline of the stock market.

Chen Pingsheng stayed in Hong Kong until January 20 before returning to Shanghai.

The main reason for coming back is because everyone else is on vacation, and it's almost the end of the year again, so it's time for him to go back home.

In addition, the private jet worth 700 million has also arrived in Shanghai.

Wait for him to inspect it.

The ultra-luxurious customized private jet could originally carry 173 passengers, but after a series of modifications it can now carry only 19 people.

The length is 35 meters, the height is 12 meters, and the maximum speed is 1012 kilometers per hour.

The flight altitude is 12,500 meters and the range is 13,000 kilometers.

It has the same starry sky roof as Rolls-Royce, the iconic cloud sofa and a floating bed.

Sitting here, it feels like you are in the clouds.

This aircraft was launched last year, and its level of intelligence is beyond imagination.

It is definitely a luxurious villa flying in the air.

It is also the most valuable private jet in the world, with a starting price of US$91 million and an annual maintenance fee of no less than RMB 30 million.

Just like a super yacht, once you buy it you will need to spend a huge amount of money on maintenance every year.

The group's annual meeting was still held in Shanghai, and Chen Pingsheng attended via video.

After the annual meeting is over, it will be a few days before the annual holiday.

And their family also has to go back to Wang Village to stay for a while.

Chen Anan has already packed her things and she can't wait to take a ride on the new big plane her father bought.

As for his younger sisters Chen Qi and Jiang Peiyao, they had also arrived early and were waiting to fly home with him.

"Dad, have you applied for the flight home?"

"Okay, we can leave for Sand City at 5pm."

If a private plane wants to take off, it must first apply for a route and obtain approval before it can officially take off from the airport where it stops.

"Wouldn't it take just two hours to get there?"

"That's about right. We're only going to stay at home for a week this time. We'll have to go back to Shanghai for the New Year."

Okay... Even though I'm only back for a short week, I'm still very happy.

Just like last year, Chen Pingsheng chose to go back early and come back during the Chinese New Year.

There are still many things happening on the group's side. Affected by the heat, the share price of Huayi has been soaring towards 20 billion.

In addition, he has been cashing out 20% of his shares in Tencent Entertainment.

This scattered share sale is expected to cash out 16 billion yuan, plus the cash he currently has.

It’s almost 18 billion, and he has a great use for this money.

In addition, Snack Express has achieved its goal of opening 10,000 retail stores this year, more than half of which are franchised.

Once the New Year is over, you can basically go public.

He can also choose to cash out the original shares of Lujiao Coffee.

At the beginning of 2017, he will undoubtedly have an unimaginable amount of money.

How to spend this money well is a science.

He won't stay in his hometown for too long as he has a lot of things to do.

With a super private jet, it is actually very convenient for the family to return home.

It doesn't require much preparation.

As for his pregnant wife, Michelle Song, she just needs to be a little more careful.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the family took four Rolls-Royces to the Magic City Airport.

After going through all the necessary procedures, we boarded the plane directly.

The luxurious facilities on the plane are beyond imagination, with the same starry sky ceiling, space chairs, and three private rooms where you can sleep comfortably.

It has everything you need, including a big TV, kitchen, and bathroom.

There are also two dedicated flight attendants, a captain and a co-pilot.

Chen Anan happily found a space chair to lie down on. As for little Pi Ya, she naturally sat with her sister, shaking her little butt.

Jiang Peiyao's eyes were full of shock. Her brother-in-law's family not only had a super luxurious fleet of cars on land.

The same is true in the sky. She knows that there is a large helicopter worth over 200 million yuan parked in Guangzhou.

That one is suitable for domestic flights, and this one can fly around the world.

"Dad, give me a cup of coffee and some sunflower seeds and peanuts, so our family can have a lively time in heaven!"

"You're done, hurry back to your seat, we're about to take off."

Chen Pingsheng said, "No matter how good a plane is, it's just for the convenience of travel. After the New Year, your father and I will also travel around the world."

Okay... that being said, it still feels super cool to be on a private jet.

It's just a novelty, and it will be fine once she gets used to it.

Song Yanxi even reminded the little girl to fasten her seat belt, and her ears were still buzzing when the plane took off.

The feeling of being pushed on the back is also very strong, and I am still a little nervous whether I should say it or not.

Once the large plane was flying smoothly in the air, the feeling of tension was basically gone.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, going home is also a nice journey.

My younger sister Chen Qi brought her child with her.

It was quite lively when the whole family went back this year.

Along the way, Chen Anan looked at the big white clouds outside, which suddenly looked like Sun Wukong's somersault cloud.

It's really hard to find someone who looks like the Bull Demon King all of a sudden.

It took them only two hours in the air to fly from the Magic City to the sky above the Sand City.

By the time the plane was about to land, the whole city was brightly lit.

There was a thick snow in Shacheng.

Although the transportation is not very convenient, the night view covered with snow is uniquely beautiful.

Under the flashing neon lights, the streets seem to have their own romantic moments.

The plane glided across the runway and landed smoothly at seven o'clock in the evening.

After the family got off the plane, a Coaster bus took them out of the airport and directly to the parking lot.

The black King Kong that Chen Pingsheng spent more than 8 million to buy was parked here, and there were four luxury cars next to it.

Wang Village is not too far from Shacheng, so they chose to drive home by themselves.

This is the advantage of having money, there are people everywhere providing the most considerate service.

This is true from boarding to disembarking.

Because the road was difficult to drive on, a snowplow was specially arranged in front.

This is Chen Pingsheng’s current journey back home.

Even though Hu Lin had always known that his brother-in-law was super rich, he was still eye-opening when he came back with him.

It was such a scene that the only thing missing was a police car leading the way.

This was the result of his deliberate low profile. The news of his return home was not notified to the town at all.

No one reported to the county, otherwise the deputy mayor would have to wait here.

Or he would immediately send his secretary to pick him up and take him to the municipal government or even the provincial government as a guest.

You should know that Chen Pingsheng’s largest public welfare agricultural support project, Tengnong Breeding, has its headquarters in Shacheng.

So far, a total investment of 3 billion has been made, benefiting 100,000 households.

If such a big entrepreneur returns to the village, it would not be surprising if the county or city gives him a higher level of reception.

After all, Chen Pingsheng himself said that he would invest up to 10 billion in Tengnong Fresh within three years.

By then, it will be able to directly change the local environment and drive rapid income growth for millions of people.

It will also raise the local consumption level simultaneously, which is normal. After all, the premise of consumption is still high income.

Wang Village is no longer the deserted Wang Village it used to be.

It has the best village primary school in the county, as well as a village clinic and even its own small park.

In addition, it also has its own Tenghui Department Store shopping plaza.

In just three years, it has achieved a qualitative improvement in education, medical care and consumer environment.

There is no longer a single muddy road in the village; all have become wide and comfortable highways.

Even on the main roads, there are ground lights and neon lights, which are infrastructure only found in cities.

If you want to know why it has developed so fast, it’s best not to ask.

The reason for asking is that a great entrepreneur came from this place.

He is the son of the village chief. Others become village chiefs for money.

When Mr. Chen was the village chief, he always took money from his son.

If Chen Pingsheng didn't pay for these things like the floor lamps, anyone who approved the funds for him would be scolded to death by people from other villages.

Wang Village has become the envy of people in the surrounding area, mainly because Chen Pingsheng has actually changed the living environment here with his own efforts.

Spare no effort to make great contributions to the development of your hometown.

As for Old Chen's family, they have connected their villas together and located them in the center of the village in a good location. There is a large artificial lake in front of it that they developed themselves, and there are also various garden villas inside.

Almost all members of the Chen family own a garden villa there.

This was also built with the money provided by Chen Pingsheng.

A row of luxurious cars returned home, and no one else could match the show.

The Chen family called people to shovel snow on the road early in the morning to ensure that the convoy could return smoothly.

Their cars are not parked at the door, but in the huge parking lot they built themselves.

There is nothing else in the countryside, but there is definitely a lot of vacant land.

In a few years, even building your own house in the village may require approval.

The main reason for this is to encourage these rural people to buy houses in the city.

When it comes to developing real estate, we have really spared no effort.

Chen Pingsheng never comments too much on such matters because it is meaningless.

He also brought a lot of gifts home, such as Moutai, Guojiao 1573, etc., which are the favorites of his grandfather and his family.

Life in my rural hometown is still quite quiet, with the establishment of Tenghuo Department Store Plaza.

More and more young people like to return to the village, mainly because Tenghuo Department Store also has many entertainment facilities in the city.

There are cinemas, bars, billiard halls, game halls, tea houses, restaurants, clothing shopping centers and so on.

Opening a super shopping mall like this in the countryside will definitely result in losses.

It just can actually improve the consumption environment within the surrounding ten kilometers.

In addition to making money, young people cannot be retained without a good consumption environment.

Chen Pingsheng is doing his best to build the most ideal new countryside in his mind.

At eight o'clock in the evening, many families have turned off the lights and gone to bed.

They would only chat late at night after their sons and daughters who were working away from home came back.

Today, the people in Old Chen’s family are different. They have built five fire rooms in the villa complex.

Every Chinese New Year, the whole family gets together to light a big charcoal fire, which gives us the feeling and atmosphere of returning home.

Grandpa and grandma gathered here to chat, warming themselves by the fire with their hands, and there were some melon seeds and peanuts beside them.

And a cup of clear tea brewed from Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao.

Third Aunt was very welcoming, mainly because her husband Chen Fan was doing well in Shanghai.

"Pingsheng, why don't you stay until the New Year? Several relatives in the village are getting married. If they know you're back, they'll definitely ask you to be the witness."

"I can't stay too long. I'll probably have to go back in four or five days."

I have to come back every year. Chen Pingsheng said, "Who's getting married? If I haven't left yet, I must go and join in the fun."

"Your cousin is getting married."

The third aunt said, "He married a woman from the city. His parents said they only took 158,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. But the woman from the city also gave him a BMW 3 Series in return."

Seriously speaking, it is an indisputable fact that the bride price is getting higher and higher these days.

Most of the time, the bride price is high when marrying a girl from the rural area, but no bride price is required when marrying a girl from the city.

"That's great. It's a real skill to be able to marry a city girl."

"Who says it's not true? But it's all thanks to you. The girl from the city only agreed to marry you after she heard that you opened Feiyangyang."

Chen Pingsheng understands this very well.

The lives of these relatives in my family are pretty much the same every year.

In the past, trivial matters would lead to big arguments.

It's okay now.

Those members of the Chen family who did not like studying were generally sent to Feiyangyang to learn cooking, while those who were a little more promising went to Shanghai to receive the family entrepreneurial fund.

Many of them have already squandered the first two million yuan.

The most outrageous thing is that his cousin, who is about 25 or 26 years old, did not start a business after getting two million, but spent his days drinking and partying in bars.

Not to mention paying for the whole thing, I just spent that month in the bar anyway.

He acted as if he were a rich young man who could spend money at will.

After he spent the two million, he immediately applied again.

Everyone has four chances. Even if he sits in his Shanghai headquarters and keeps swinging his legs, it's obvious that he's a street urchin who's not doing his job.

Later, his wife stepped in and kicked him out of the Shanghai headquarters.

And then he started to rely on his parents again.

Many people no longer have the generosity to spend money lavishly in bars as they used to.

When you suddenly become rich, the first test you face is not entrepreneurial success.

Instead, resist the desire for money, that is, the pleasure of spending money.

His behavior is quite extreme. He spends money in revenge as soon as he gets the money, and even wants to sleep with two beauties in the bar in one day.

When they ran out of money, they shamelessly went to other people's homes to beg for food, and even threw a tantrum at the Shanghai headquarters without caring about their reputation.

His wife happened to see it and without saying a word asked the security guard to chase him away.

And said there were no such relatives.

Later, he stayed in Shanghai for a few days, borrowing money from people for various reasons.

After coming back, I felt like I had lost my soul. I couldn't even look down on the monthly salary of two or three thousand.

All he talked about was his time in Shanghai.

If he hadn't taken the two million, he might have continued to work honestly and earn money for the rest of his life.

After taking this money and enjoying the ultimate pleasure of spending it, it is impossible to go back to the way it was before.

Now his parents back home have turned gray with worry for him.

No one dared to blame Chen Pingsheng because everyone knew him and he was definitely rich.

It's really easy to talk to you, but you try to make trouble.

Just a glance from you and you'll find it hard to bear the consequences.

It's not just the relatives who are facing frequent problems with family startup funds.

Even Tengnong Breeding, which has been working to alleviate poverty, is in trouble due to some issues.

The main reason was that there was a big village in Wang County, and Tengnong Breeding had just gone there to contract other people's land for a rent of 8,000 yuan.

That is joy.

Behind it was a wealthy local family who saw that the crabs raised in the fish pond they rented out were of high quality and high price.

He actually proposed to raise the rent to 15,000 yuan per year. His family rented out three small fish ponds, so that would cost 45,000 yuan per year.

Tengnong Breeding had already increased the rent by about ten times the market price, so it was naturally impossible for them to agree to such a thing.

Later we asked people from the village to talk to them, but it was of no use.

Even the Liu family caught the crabs they raised and sold them, saying that it was to subsidize his rent.

After the incident became a big deal, no one in the village said anything about the Liu family.

It's all none of my business.

It seemed like they all wanted to wait until he had made the deal before taking advantage of the situation to ask for an exorbitant price.

Raise the rent from 8,000 to 15,000 per year.

The matter was not resolved by the village head, village party secretary, and the town.

Eventually, the news reached Chen Pingsheng's ears.

His way of handling it was very simple, just a wave of his hand.

All the more than 10 million yuan invested in that village will be withdrawn.

It unilaterally terminated all lease contracts and Tengnong Breeding completely withdrew from the village.

I don’t want the wasted money or land anymore.

As soon as the news came out, everyone in the village was in a panic.

Perhaps they think that since they have used their own land to make money and have invested so much money, it is impossible for them to just waste it.

Even if we can't agree on 15,000, 12,000 will be fine.

Most people in the village thought so, so they were happy to see the Liu family jumping around and making a big deal out of it.

All I can say is that these people have seriously underestimated the ability of large groups to get things done.

Chen Pingsheng would rather not have the more than 10 million yuan invested in the village than satisfy the endless greed of these villagers.

Not only did they abandon the village, but the town was also abandoned by Tengnong Breeding.

It's because the town officials simply procrastinated when dealing with this matter.

Let you guys argue first, and then come and mediate when you can’t stand it anymore.

It has always been this irresponsible and perfunctory attitude.

Now that Tengnong Breeding has completely withdrawn from the town, people from other villages in the town are completely fed up and are running to the town with their belongings to cause trouble.

The deputy mayor who was responsible for this matter was directly dismissed by the county.

Even the mayor was given a serious warning.

When the new deputy mayor tried to retain Tengnong Breeding, he couldn't even see a small person in charge.

To put it bluntly, they are working on public welfare projects that bring great help to the local area.

You can't make money without relying on your government resources, so why do you need to ask others for help?

Ultimately, it is because the group headquarters has absolute strength that it does not have to deliberately please the leading cadres in small places.

Not to mention toasting at the table.

After this incident, the Liu family who started the trouble in the village became the scoundrel of the entire town.

The kind that makes anyone spit when they see it.

Unfortunately, Chen Pingsheng’s toughness means that once he makes a decision, he will never go back.

It is also an indirect warning to all future partners not to try to cause trouble again.

He could easily throw away more than 10 million, but the villagers could not live without the 8,000 yuan a year in land rent.

That's the difference between the two.

Only they themselves would think that Tengnong has invested so much in breeding and would not give it up for no reason.

To hold such an idea is to underestimate his strength.

Not to mention more than 10 million, even if it is 100 million or 1 billion, he will not make any concessions on matters of principle.

This is his bottom line in doing things, maintaining good intentions and sticking to lion-like methods.

Face the world with kindness, but gain a foothold in this world with absolute means.
