The marriage proposal is almost done.
According to his wife, she still hopes that Song Wu can be like her after he retires from the entertainment industry.
She is familiar with running a high-end beauty and health brand, and it would be a good idea for her to develop another brand.
Chen Pingsheng shook his head. "That's too unrealistic. Not to mention the intensified competition in the beauty industry in recent years, even conquering the high-end market isn't something you can do overnight, especially since it's a technology-based industry."
Technology industries such as catering, beauty, and cosmetics are full of uncertainties.
The future growth space is actually very limited.
Chen Pingsheng did not quite agree with his sister-in-law to engage in this kind of business because she lacked the innate conditions.
She didn't study beauty, so why would she do high-end beauty?
2017 is very different from 2013. At that time, as long as a beautician was brave enough and carried two fake instruments to negotiate cooperation with a beauty salon, he could easily earn hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions a year.
This is no exaggeration.
As for now, not to mention that there are already countless people doing this, customers have also learned to be smart.
Be very wary of these so-called instrument items in beauty salons.
Song Wu has never studied beauty at all. Instead of asking her to do high-end beauty, it would be better to give her two Shuiyunjian shops.
Like his sister Chen Qi, he can make tens of millions of dollars without doing anything.
Song Yanxi asked him, "Then what do you think she can do?"
"Of course, I'm adapting to the times and working in the internet celebrity economy!"
Chen Pingsheng said: "Short videos are extremely popular right now. Many celebrities earn less than those big influencers who have been promoting products all the time. Moreover, this industry has just emerged and there are plenty of opportunities in the future. She herself is a former celebrity, so any influencer management company is the most suitable for her."
Song Yanxi tilted her head and thought about it. It seemed to make sense. Her husband was really smart.
"You already had an opinion, why didn't you say it? Why did you let me speak here?"
"Isn't this fully respecting your opinion?"
Chen Pingsheng said, "Who knew your opinion was so unreliable? Don't think that just because we've done a good job at Shuiyunjian, high-end beauty treatments are that easy, okay? Don't you see how much we spend on training our beauticians every year?"
This is true.
Song Yanxi did not refute it. Among her husband's new startups, Xinteng Live was the fastest growing one.
The second is Tengyou Media.
The scale has already been built up, but it has not yet reached the stage of cashing out.
From this perspective, starting a short video business is indeed the most suitable for her sister.
No doubt about it.
"It doesn't take much money to set up an internet celebrity economic company. You've made quite a bit of money over the years. Give it a try with 50 million first!"
Chen Pingsheng just pointed out the way and there was no need to provide too many resources.
After all, Song Wu has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so she is familiar with making short videos.
Just bring in the entertainment industry's stuff.
In addition, both of them are somewhat famous, and their fans start at several million.
It’s easy to make money by making short videos. Apart from anything else, it will definitely make more money than being a celebrity yourself.
Song Wu no longer has any temper.
She just listened to her brother-in-law's arrangements. Only in this way, if she failed, she would have her brother-in-law to support her at home.
Not afraid at all.
Yang Changwen was somewhat disappointed. He had thought that after marrying her, he would be able to take over a large enterprise and start directly as the CEO.
That would be so beautiful.
His current situation is actually not much different from marrying into the wife's family.
Who knew he would have to start from scratch? This wasn't quite what he expected.
Chen Pingsheng knew what he meant just by looking at his eyes and was too lazy to comment.
A third-tier actor comes here and wants to take over a big company. Who does he think he is?
Why should others listen to his arrangements?
Just wave your hand and send him away. Many young people are like this, with high expectations but low skills. They can't change this bad habit without experiencing the harsh punishment of society.
He really doesn't think highly of the guy his sister-in-law is looking for.
It's a pity that she likes it.
Some things are really beyond the reach of women's control, just like the Samsung princess who is willing to marry a security guard.
After they finished talking, Song Shuiqing tried to come in quietly from outside. Chen Pingsheng saw that she had a shifty look in her eyes, as if she were a thief.
"Song Shuiqing, what are you doing?"
"Brother-in-law, I want to report a small situation to you."
"If you have something to say, come in and tell me. Why are you hiding outside?"
Song Shuiqing chuckled, "I'm afraid my brother-in-law will be too busy, so I don't dare to disturb him. Brother-in-law, I heard that you bought another Premier League club abroad?"
"I'll let you know all this!"
"I only found out about this from the news. It said it was controlled by Tenghui Capital, and the owner is Chinese. I immediately guessed it was you. Brother-in-law, you are truly wise and powerful now, and you are extraordinary. My admiration for you is like a surging river..."
“Stop, stop, stop…”
Chen Pingsheng quickly stopped her, "Did you sleep with Big Butt for a few nights? Why is your mouth foaming like hers?"
"How do you know?"
Song Yanxi couldn't stand it anymore and asked her to tell the truth quickly. Song Shuiqing immediately told the truth about what had happened during this period.
After receiving two million yuan in startup funds, she immediately went to Hangzhou to learn how to sell clothes from Yao Annie.
I have to say that her brother-in-law, this old classmate, is really good in the field of clothing.
After receiving the 100 million yuan investment from Chen Pingsheng, it closed all physical stores and turned to live streaming sales in the short video field.
Several big anchors have been trained on major platforms such as Kuaishou and Taobao.
Later, she took the lead in the business, and her monthly sales alone reached 100 to 200 million.
It ranks among the top five in the domestic clothing sales field.
If you add the anchors under her, she can easily make tens of millions in a month.
She wasn't too sure about the exact number, but it was definitely no less than 50 million.
Song Shuiqing followed her and later set up his own clothing sales company.
She and her two cousins invested six million yuan, but still didn't make much of a splash.
The main reason is that they haven’t cultivated any big internet celebrities, and they themselves lack professional knowledge in the clothing field.
It would be frustrating if the goods could not be sold after being put into the warehouse.
This is completely different from the grand occasion on Yao Anni's side.
After listening to her story, Chen Pingsheng was almost crying because of her stupidity.
"Shuiqing, do you have any brains? Yao Anni dares to hoard goods to sell because she has the 100 million yuan in funding I gave her, and she also has two big internet celebrities I transferred over.
“Stockpiling goods directly when there is no shortage of sales allows her to further reduce costs and gain channel advantages.
"First, you don't have any big internet celebrities to show off, second, you don't have much capital, and you don't even have many fans. You have a total of six million in funds, and you're using six million to stock up on goods.
"Aren't you just waiting for those clothes to become out-of-season items and just sit there at home like a waste?"
Song Shuiqing understood immediately and slapped his head with an annoyed look on his face. "I told you that I should have consulted my brother-in-law earlier, but they insisted that you were too busy. If you still ask for such a small matter, you must be afraid of wasting my brother-in-law's time."
"Okay, it's not a big deal."
Chen Pingsheng said, "You have to remember that the foundation of short videos is still people. You have to first cultivate people who can make money before you can consider the final monetization issue. If you haven't trained your people yet and you rent a warehouse to sell goods, then if short videos are so easy to make, then what's the difference between that and picking up money?"
"Go to the family fund and get another two million. Don't make such a stupid mistake again."
This is how starting a business works. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted.
Seeing others making easy money, I always think that I can make easy money too.
This is the biggest illusion in life.
Yao Anni can make this money because she has accumulated ten years of entrepreneurial experience in the clothing industry.
She is a female academic master, and she has received 100 million yuan of funding from him and received direct support from Xinteng Live.
All these things added together allow her to easily earn 50 to 60 million yuan every month.
Song Shuiqing wants to copy other people's path to success without having anything. It would be unfair if she doesn't fail.
It is no exaggeration to say that if she were an ordinary person.
If you put in six million, at most you'll be left with a pair of shorts.
Song Shuiqing was also very upset. She didn't dare tell her cousin about this for fear of being scolded.
There was a news story online about a wife being defrauded of tens of millions of dollars.
She cried and asked people not to tell her husband, and then she went back to her parents' home and cried.
This is probably a similar situation.
When starting a business with insufficient funds, the margin for error is extremely low.
This is also the real reason why ordinary people are increasingly discouraged from starting their own businesses in this era.
A small mistake may cause you to lose all the money you have worked hard to save for three to five years.
For ordinary people, losing money is more than just losing money.
The wife and children may have to marry someone else.
Song Shuiqing is different, she has a family fund to back her up.
Even if she makes several big mistakes, as long as she seizes an opportunity, she can make back all the money she lost with interest.
Short videos have this advantage.
The younger generations of the Chen and Song families who went out to start their own businesses also encountered frequent problems, and none of them have shown any signs of success so far.
There is no success, no matter how small.
The family still has a long way to go in its rise.
In the afternoon, Chang Fu came over again.
I was so excited when I heard that he bought a Premier League club.
Who doesn’t have a football dream? It’s a pity that domestic football is so bad.
Chang Fu also wants to go abroad to see the Premier League in person when it starts in September this year.
Betting on football is very popular abroad, so if he goes there he will definitely gamble big.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Pingsheng still felt that it was more reliable to buy Ding Ding to his team.
When the Premier League starts, he might as well bet on his own team to win, and maybe he can make hundreds of millions.
"Old Chen, do you and I want to go to the bar for a couple of drinks tonight?"
"Alright."
He seldom goes to places like this, so it's no big deal to go there occasionally.
But going to a place like that wouldn't be very interesting if there weren't beautiful women to accompany you.
Chang Fu only thought of going out for some fun after seeing his wife Yang Qian go to Hong Kong.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the big-breasted kid Chen Anan came back from school.
She is in the second semester of the third grade this year and will be in the fourth grade in September.
Although my grades haven't improved, my interests and hobbies have improved a lot.
If she wants to study in a famous domestic university in the future, she will have to be registered as a special talent student.
"Dad, did you miss me?"
"I won't think of you no matter what I think of."
Chen Anan put down her big schoolbag. As soon as the little girl came back, she would definitely follow her sister around.
"Tsk, Dad obviously misses me a lot, but he won't admit it."
Chen Pingsheng was too lazy to pay attention to her. As long as he ignored her, she would obediently run to the backyard to practice a set of Mantis Boxing and then play the erhu for a while.
Finally, teach the little brat to recite the poem backwards.
Such a good child prodigy, but he was made stupid by her.
There is not much money to spend at home now. Even his wife Song Yanxi lamented that there is too much money to spend.
Chen Pingsheng laughed at her and said that since she had so much money that she couldn't spend it all, she might as well go to Hong Kong and buy some commercial real estate.
This thing felt solid in her hand, and Song Yanxi actually believed it. She immediately told her personal secretary in Hong Kong to prepare to buy land on the top of the mountain and build a top-notch villa.
The mountaintop villas in Hong Kong all come with land, and you can also demolish the house and rebuild it yourself.
She took the more than 4 billion she earned from Huang Zhongshi and planned to buy a large piece of land.
Then spend billions to build several super villas.
This is a good idea, the only downside is that it costs money.
Chen Pingsheng also discovered that his wife spent money very quickly. Whenever she had more than 2 billion yuan, she would find ways to spend it.
Either buy a house or buy land.
They have even bought two universities worth billions, so it is understandable that they are now spending billions to buy that kind of mountaintop land in Hong Kong.
But it’s 2017 now, and the prime location on the top of Hong Kong Hill has already been divided up by the wealthy families.
Even if she had money, it would be difficult for her to buy the best seat.
After Chen Pingsheng went to Manhattan, he no longer had much intention of using his money to buy commercial real estate.
The main reason is that the family already has enough business assets.
We can make a net profit of over ten billion every year just from collecting rent. What else can we ask for?
Even if Chen Anan and her sisters are not very reliable when they grow up, they can still live on the rent for the rest of their lives.
In addition, the country’s current core strategy is to upgrade the science and technology field, so he has to work hard in this regard.
According to Chen Pingsheng, he still hopes that his wife will focus on the innovation of medical beauty equipment.
At present, the medical beauty equipment that is truly effective in China are basically imported from abroad.
Not only do they charge for equipment, but they also charge various cooperation fees.
You can make money without doing anything throughout the year. This is the benefit of owning core technology.
This kind of thing will not produce significant results in two or three years if it is not accomplished in one year.
But someone has to do it, otherwise how can we carry out industrial upgrading?
Without core technology, the majority of the so-called domestic demand market will be earned by foreign companies.
For example, a mobile phone has an Android system and a Qualcomm chip.
Every time a mobile phone is sold, a usage fee must be paid to foreign countries.
How can we carry out industrial upgrading in this way?
In this case, who else will the country support if not Huawei?
Song Yanxi didn't expect him to make such a suggestion. She needed to think about it seriously.
You can't make a decision all at once.
In the evening, Chen Pingsheng said that Chang Fu asked him to go for a drink.
Song Yanxi asked him to go early and come back early, and the big brat ran out with a smart look on his face and asked him if he could take her with him.
Chen Pingsheng agreed, but the price was that he would lose his pocket money next month.
The big brat ran away angrily. What a joke! I just went with him for a while, and he wanted to deduct a month's pocket money from me.
I'm not going!
There are still many bars in Shanghai, and Sap culture is very popular here.
What does it mean!
I would rather eat less or not eat at all, but still buy myself a set of branded clothes.
Among them, the most exaggerated is the one between Teacher Tony and those ordinary office workers.
Even though their salary is less than 10,000 yuan, they still want to buy LV bags, Kuqi belts, or entry-level Omega watches.
You see them dressed in fancy clothes, but you can see their pockets are empty.
There are also many such people in the bar, with colorful lights and swaying music.
There were also five or six tall beauties on the stage, wearing bikinis and dancing in extremely exaggerated waist-twisting and hip-swaying dances.
These beauties are not cheap, and it will cost you at least a few thousand to take them out.
Of course, there are some exceptions, and that is those who are more handsome.
Others support them, and they also support gigolos.
Isn’t this promoting the internal circulation of the economy?
Chang Fu booked the largest table, and the minimum consumption starts at 20,000.
Gao Hu is also here. Married men like them also need to relax occasionally.
Not only Gao Hu was there, Zhang Tao also came.
No wonder Chang Fu wanted to come to the bar for a party.
"Old Chen, come and sit down."
The DJ's voice was quite loud, and Chang Fu had to shout to make him hear more clearly.
This guy also brought four or five internet celebrity beauties.
Among them are Qiaomei, Futuan, Tuziya, Liu Siyao and others.
Chen Pingsheng sat in the middle and ordered a few bottles of the most expensive cognac.
I didn't even look at the exact price per bottle, but it would cost at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan anyway.
Internet celebrities are still having a lot of fun, and their purity is just for ordinary people to see.
They are really talented and they play more extravagantly than anyone else.
Chen Pingsheng was just drinking and chatting with a few old friends. His wife was still pregnant, and it would be too weird for him to go out and play with internet celebrities at this time.
Liu Siyao looks very fairy-like online, but in reality she is less than 90% similar.
Compared to Shen Wanning in his trainee competition, Yang Xiaoxiao is still a long way behind.
I can only say that the beauty effect on the Internet is really strong.
Not to mention comparing her with her younger cousin Jiang Peiyao, who is a big name in the entertainment industry.
They are all employees who make money for him, so he just drinks a few glasses symbolically.
But something unexpected happened. He actually saw his innocent little cousin Jiang Peiyao in the crowd.
She also wore a small mask and twisted her waist as she danced with two girls.
Isn’t that Shen Wanning and Yang Fenghuang?
Chen Pingsheng went to find them. Jiang Peiyao rarely came to the bar. Today, because of the graduation of the first trainee competition, she came out with her colleagues to have fun.
That’s right, all of them signed with Tencent Entertainment.
Those who were eliminated went to Xinteng Live.
Someone patted her shoulder from behind. Jiang Peiyao was instinctively a little surprised, and when she turned around, she was a little surprised.
“Ah…brother-in-law!”
"Why are you in the bar?"
He had to get close to her ear so that she could hear him talking, and Jiang Peiyao's soft ears turned red.
It was like a little girl who was suddenly caught by adults doing something bad.
"Brother-in-law, Xiaoxiao said she wanted to celebrate, so we came to the bar."
"Oh." Yang Xiaoxiao is the daughter of Lao Yang in his CEO class, so she should call him Uncle Chen.
I have been a rich second-generation since I was young, and I have always had a lot of fun.
As for Yang Fenghuang, she was scratching her head, at a loss.
Chen Pingsheng let them play by themselves, and he didn't mean to disturb them intentionally.
Jiang Peiyao didn't dare to continue acting crazy, so she just sat behind him quietly.
Chen Pingsheng still doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, and it's difficult to even chat.
I'm past the age where I like going to bars.
Once he left, almost everyone left.
He also planned to go out and find a quiet bar to hang out in, where it wouldn't be too noisy and they could chat quietly.
As soon as they came out, a man came up to them and handed them his business card.
Naturally, this business card was not handed to him, but to his little cousin Jiang Peiyao behind him.
"Beautiful lady, this is our boss's business card. He wants you to stay for a drink."
Jiang Peiyao lowered her head so low, couldn't she see her brother-in-law was over here?
I’ve already been rejected twice at the bar, how come he still comes after me?
Chen Pingsheng took the business card. Wow, he was in the same industry as him, also working in new energy.
"Has your boss built the Ranger car?" Chen Pingsheng threw the business card back to him without any hesitation.
The man was embarrassed. He didn't know Chen Pingsheng. It was just that his boss thought Jiang Peiyao was pretty and wanted to treat him to a couple of drinks.
There are very few girls in the bar who can refuse his boss.
When he turned around and went in, the boss upstairs was Wei Li from Youxia New Energy.
Speaking of the Ranger car, it's also quite strange.
In 2014, the founder successfully obtained 3 million yuan in financing with advanced concepts and exquisite PPT, and formed a team of less than 100 people, starting his own car-making career.
The history of car manufacturing is more than two years earlier than Chen Pingsheng's.
This is also the ancestor of the domestic new energy vehicle manufacturing PPT, and its slogans are louder than anyone else.
We want to be the Tesla of China.
Various exquisite concept cars are emerging one after another, and everything only exists on PPT.
Except for the inability to achieve mass production, it is already invincible in PPT.
In just a few years, it received nearly 10 billion yuan in financing.
Although the car was difficult to produce, it did not prevent the founder from being successful in the business world.
Unfortunately, he met Chen Pingsheng, who really spent tens of billions of dollars to build cars, and people like him built cars with PPT.
Of course there is no need to be polite.
Chen Pingsheng and his friends found a quiet, top-notch bar.
This time, it was not the bikini girl dancing on the stage, but a short-haired beauty who sang well.
He looked to be in his twenties, and there was a guitarist and a drum set beside him.
Ordering a few beers and calling two old friends to a place like this is what they should do at their age.
The innocent little cousin obediently poured him a glass of wine, "Brother-in-law, I'm going to get you drunk!"
"Just forget about your drinking capacity!"
Chen Pingsheng drank a lot when he was young, but he drank less after he got married.
Jiang Peiyao snorted, "Brother-in-law, don't look down on me. I can drink two and a half bottles of beer and two taels of white wine now."
Chen Pingsheng knocked her head and said, "Drinking is not a good thing, and you are so proud of it."
It was a light flick and didn't hurt much. Jiang Peiyao covered her little head and grimaced.
"Old Chen, what's going on with that ranger?" Chang Fu didn't know much about new energy, so he asked out of curiosity.
"Nothing."
Chen Pingsheng said: "The country is now vigorously supporting the new energy industry. In the past two years, there have been more than 300 to 400 new energy vehicle manufacturers in China. There are only 25 century-old car companies in the world. You can imagine how exaggerated this data is.
"Our domestic business environment is like this. People like to follow the trend. Once something becomes popular, a large number of people will immediately flock to it. Unfortunately, most people don't have the ability to build a car. The idea of building a car is just to seek better financing or simply to defraud subsidies."
There are all kinds of people.
Anyway, in this industry, one or two large companies come up with the idea of making cars every day, so it’s really not surprising.
"It hasn't even started yet and it's already become like this?"
"Who said it wasn't?"
Chen Pingsheng said: "Don't worry, time is the best weapon. Those car manufacturers that only exist in PPT are destined to be eliminated. In the next five or ten years, China can only accommodate three or four new energy vehicle factories at most."
That is to say, 99% of them will be eliminated overall.
Chang Fu thought it was quite exaggerated. After all, this thing would require an investment of tens of billions.
So much money was invested and the result was a bubble. You can imagine how cruel the market is!
