April spring, rainy season.
The temperature was also humid, and the air was filled with a hint of rain.
Chen Pingsheng drove his newly bought Aston Martin home. He hadn't driven this kind of sports car for a long time.
Compared to Ferrari and Toyota, Aston Martin is obviously more comfortable.
The lower a sports car is, the less comfortable it tends to be to drive.
Of course, the price is also higher.
He doesn't like driving those super low sports cars anymore, and even his wife only likes driving Bentley supercars.
The house is still as noisy as ever. With two treasures in the family, how can life not be lively?
The little brat is about to turn three, and she still likes to wear overalls.
Her face still had some baby fat, and her legs were short and thick. When she ran with small steps, her face was still chubby.
"Daddy!"
"Xin Xiaoyi, did you memorize the 300 Tang poems today?"
"Yes, I can even recite the moonlight before my bed backwards."
When she said she was reciting it backwards, she was really reciting it backwards.
Chen Pingsheng held the cute little girl in his arms. Her older sister was about to enter the fourth grade.
He has to be nine years old, which is the age when naughty dogs dislike him.
"Then you are really amazing, much better than your sister."
"Yeah?"
The little brat tilted her head and fantasized, doesn’t her sister always get 100 points on the exams?
She is even more amazing. She doesn't want to get 101 marks when she grows up.
"Dad, my sister said I'm not very smart."
After pinching her nose, Song Yanxi came over to call him, and the two went to the second floor to discuss things.
Song Jun’s girlfriend Zhang Sitong also mentioned it briefly, but the main reason was that Song Yanxi was a little worried about the little brat’s education when he grows up.
Little Pi Ya has had no concept of money since he was a child. Whenever he goes out, he buys whatever he likes.
Don't even look at the price.
Her problem is secondary. The main problem is that she is too far away from the ordinary group.
This is not conducive to developing good values.
Although Big Butt’s grades are not good, there is no problem in that regard.
Chen Pingsheng said, "You don't have to worry too much. When she grows up a little bit, I plan to take her to farm for two months every summer vacation."
"Do you have the time? The company is already so big."
“No matter how busy you are, you still have to make time to accompany your children as they grow up.”
Chen Pingsheng let her lie comfortably on the sofa. "You said we work so hard to make money, isn't it so that our children can have a good future in the future, and don't have to worry about money every day like when we were young. If we ignore their growth because we have money, we may regret it one day when we are old."
Song Yanxi thought about it and realized that this was just how it was after becoming a parent.
Many things should be considered from the perspective of children.
When they are old and their children are not well taken care of, no amount of money can make up for it.
"Hubby, if our unborn son is really a boy, I want to send him to the countryside to be raised."
"Rural area?"
How could Chen Pingsheng not understand what she meant? They both grew up in the countryside.
Even though the countryside has many disadvantages, it still has certain significance for children's childhood.
Especially a family like theirs.
"Don't rush this. Let's wait until the baby is at least one year old before we talk about it."
Song Yanxi nodded. "Honey, your self-built Tengying Town, including the land purchase, must have cost over 20 billion, right?"
"Well." Chen Pingsheng said, "There's nothing we can do about it. The housing prices in the city center are getting higher and higher. Last year, you could buy a house in a good location for an average price of 150,000 yuan, but this year it's no longer the case. In Tangchen Yipin, including those good residential areas, the price per square meter has exceeded 200,000 yuan.
"Many people in our group earn a million yuan a year. They look well-off, but when you ask them about their actual situation, they all have debts exceeding 10 million yuan, and with interest, it easily exceeds 20 million yuan.
"If our group could always remain stable, their mortgage repayments would naturally be fine. But if our group ran into some problems and was forced to cut salaries due to unstable operations, do you think these mortgages would crush a large number of high-income people?
"We should be prepared for danger in times of peace. We should move our headquarters to the suburbs where housing prices are lower."
Song Yanxi thought about it and realized that housing prices were an issue for ordinary people.
Even the rich people at their stage feel that the bubble has become ridiculously big.
With an annual salary of one million, this is definitely a top-level worker.
However, one still has to struggle for most of his life without food or drink for a square set of reinforced concrete.
This is horrible.
A good company should give priority to choosing the most livable location even for the sake of its employees.
After all, when employees buy a house, the first thing they consider is whether it is close to home.
Not to mention his own side, even Huawei, which he knew, moved to Songshan Lake in Dongguan City because of the high housing prices.
Staying away from high housing prices is not just a choice for ordinary people.
Even super large groups like theirs face this choice.
"I went there and looked around. If all 180 acres of land were to be built as apartments, we could build about 18 buildings, which would easily accommodate 15,000 to 20,000 people. If my family has the means in the second half of the year, I'd like to buy a larger plot of land there for residential use and build a high-end Tengying residential complex. That would be able to house at least 10,000 people!"
"If we want to better attract talents in the future, we must first solve their worries."
Chen Pingsheng thought about it and realized that there were more and more places to spend money at home.
Of course, he would not give the houses he built to his employees for free, but would just sell them to them at cost price.
You can also pay in installments, but you don’t have to pay the loan interest.
That would solve the housing needs of tens of thousands of people. If this gets out, their family will become a truly philanthropic family.
Isn’t it the boss’s kindness to let employees have a decent job and a considerable income?
It would be best if we could also address some of their survival needs. In this way, most employees will actually be very satisfied.
The construction of Tengying Town is still under planning.
Only after an architectural design firm has issued detailed drawings can a state-owned infrastructure unit be formally invited to undertake the construction.
To this end, Chen Pingsheng specially obtained special construction funds for Tengying Town.
The first batch of funds deposited was 9 billion, including 6 billion increased by his golden finger uncle.
It also includes his original capital of 3 billion.
With this 9 billion yuan in funding, all work is being accelerated.
On April 12, Tengying Group officially held the Tengying Town investment and design promotion conference in Shanghai.
During this period, a total of 39 top design firms from home and abroad came to compete for the contract design of Tengying Town with their respective proposals.
Some people proposed to build a futuristic city, with everything based on science fiction.
Some people also proposed to build a European-style town, adopting the European-style street approach, and build a top-notch design that includes European castles and European cities.
This plan has been recognized by many people.
The suggestion was made by one of the top design firms abroad.
The advantage of European towns is that they are particularly beautiful and imposing, while the disadvantage is that the headquarters space is compressed.
It could originally accommodate 50,000 people, but because it was built in European style, it can only accommodate about 20,000 people working online at the same time.
There is another representative with a very special identity.
Zhang Sitong actually came to speak in such a top-level circle as a representative of their design firm.
She herself was extremely surprised, but their boss had specially brought her here alone.
The main reason must be that Song Yanxi invited her to her home for dinner alone.
Zhang Sitong’s design plan is also not simple, titled "Utopia in the City".
Her design did not take into account the financial problems of Tengying Group at all. The main plan was to use the 700 acres of land.
Combine modern technology with natural style.
By transplanting a large number of famous trees from home and abroad, Tengying Town has been completely transformed into an excellent place for modern office, leisure, and relaxation.
And what needs the most funding in this plan is not the trees on the periphery.
Instead, each headquarters building will combine the styles of modern buildings and primitive forests.
This requires cultivating a variety of famous flowers and trees inside the building.
The project's expected funding is between 18 billion and 24 billion yuan.
Does not include any land purchase money.
In other words, if you want to build such a modern forest in the city as a headquarters, it will cost at least 28 billion to 30 billion.
Undoubtedly, this is a very exaggerated number.
There is only one person who can make the final decision in the group, and that is Chen Pingsheng himself.
I have to say, her plan has no disadvantages except that it costs money.
Who doesn’t want to enjoy some natural scenery and feel the original charm of nature while working?
After listening to everyone's report, Chu Qiuyan, Yang Qian, Chang Fu, Gao Hu and others all agreed.
We still use the design of Zhang Sitong and her family.
When the final decision was made, Zhang Sitong felt like she was dreaming.
Of course, she didn't come up with this plan alone.
She didn't have that ability. This plan was finally discussed by their boss and all the capable people in the firm after ten days.
It was also because he knew that Tengying Town had the idea of transplanting a large number of oak trees into Tengying headquarters.
This is how he came up with the idea of a modern forest town.
Of course, he certainly took a big risk.
Because everyone knows that it is difficult to create a perfect natural scene inside a modern headquarters office building.
That's basically burning money.
A huge amount of money is burned every second.
As a top designer, who wouldn’t want to undertake such a design?
In the future, whenever someone goes to Tengying Town, everyone will think of the name of their design firm.
At the same time, you can also leave your name in the design circle.
This headquarters town, which cost tens of billions of dollars to build, is destined to become famous in the circle with such a design.
It will also make countless people scramble to get it.
When Zhang Sitong returned home in the evening, the whole company held a celebration party for her.
At this moment, she really just wanted to cry.
They also felt more deeply the boundless influence of wealthy families on ordinary people like them.
For Tengying Group, this is just a preliminary approved design plan.
For architectural designers like them, they can indeed leave their names in history within the famous domestic architectural circle.
This is a wealthy family.
Their every word, action, frown and smile can cause endless sadness and tears in the ordinary circle of people.
Such a large design project naturally cannot be completed by one or two people.
In the next few months, their entire design office will be busy with Tengying Future Town.
As for Zhang Sitong himself, he received a direct bonus of five million.
It was also because she provided inside information about oak tree transplantation that allowed her boss to propose the forest design.
Therefore, most of the design proposals at their level are comparable.
There is basically no one who is much better than others.
The key is to see who can design something that better suits the boss's ideas.
The design fee of 180 million yuan can also make you famous in the entire design circle.
This is undoubtedly a super order.
…
Once the initial plan is finalized, it will take several months of hard work by a group of people.
This will determine the final design.
It is estimated that it will take another two years from the start of construction to the completion of the project.
This is also the result of not being short of money. If there is a shortage of money, the progress of the project will be intermittent and there will be no specific date.
The expectation of over 25 billion also exceeded the imagination of everyone inside.
Everyone is still quite looking forward to it and hoping for the day when we move to the new headquarters.
As for Chen Pingsheng himself, after selling 25% of the listed shares of Snack Fast Run.
Among these listed companies, he currently holds the largest stake in only Tencent Film Entertainment.
There are still 40%.
If calculated based on the current valuation, it is probably worth 50 billion.
In addition, Tenghui Department Store still holds 24% of the shares.
The remaining Lujiao Coffee, Bobo Milk Tea, Feiyangyang, etc. have completed their listing and cashed out.
Only the last 5% remains.
The lack of money came quickly and violently, so Chen Pingsheng asked Tong Zelan to find a buyer in Hong Kong.
It hopes to sell 19% of its shares in Tenghui Department Store and cash out 3 billion yuan.
The current share price of Tenghui is 22 billion.
Since he is privately looking for capital to take over, the stock price will naturally be discounted by 20%.
Tenghui Department Store does not have too many hypermarkets, but its advantage is stable operation and all storefronts are self-owned.
What Hong Kong likes most is this kind of stable asset.
No matter how hypermarkets change in the future, they will remain very stable.
In particular, we have now bought four super storefronts in Hong Kong and built four Tenghui hypermarkets.
One-fifth of the shares is priced at 3 billion, which is not too high.
In the end, someone else took over. Guo Ziyi wanted to buy 19% of his shares.
However, there is an additional condition, which is to purchase 10% of Xinteng Live’s shares at the same time.
With the rise of short videos, Tenghui Department Store has another biggest advantage.
That is to jointly establish Global Preferred with Xinteng Live, which owns half of Kuaishou.
Through online channels, we can comprehensively solve the problems of offline stockpiling and offline sales.
The two factors combined are the main reason why Tenghui Department Store’s valuation exceeds 20 billion yuan.
After all, all its commercial assets have been divested into Tencent Business Management.
Chen Pingsheng thought about it and agreed.
In fact, there is another important reason: Xinteng Live is already on the road to listing.
Once successful, Guo Ziyi's return on this investment will obviously be very high.
19% of Tenghui Department Store’s shares, plus 10% of Xinteng Live.
The total value of the two is 4 billion RMB.
Since these shares are all held by Tenghui Capital, the transaction must naturally take place in Hong Kong.
He also rushed to Hong Kong to prepare for the signing ceremony.
