Chapter 346 Cocktail Party and the Future



Zhou Ye and Meng Ziyi are both newcomers to Tengying Entertainment.

Jiang Peiyao is about the same age as them, but she has been in Tengying for three years, so she is still considered their senior sister in any case.

Jiang Peiyao is very nice to newcomers, mainly because she thinks they are here to make money for her brother-in-law.

She still drives the white Rolls-Royce Phantom convertible sports car that costs over 10 million yuan.

This car was a gift from Chen Pingsheng and she has been driving it for several years.

Meng Ziyicai graduated from university in 1995.

Zhou Ye just entered university in 1998.

The main reason why she was able to join Tengying smoothly was her great appearance. Her face was the most beautiful white moonlight in her youth.

The three of them rode in the same car. Meng Ziyi's family was well off, but not so well off that they could afford a Rolls-Royce.

She was quite surprised, because in fact she had the opportunity to join Tencent Entertainment two years ago.

But at that time she felt that it was too outrageous for the company to let a little girl be in charge.

It was just a short time away from bankruptcy.

It is very surprising that it is still alive and well even after Huayi went bankrupt.

"Senior Sister Pei Yao, are we going to meet the big boss?"

"Yes, he said he would treat you two to lunch at noon."

"That's rare! Yezi has been in the company for so long, but this seems to be her first time meeting the big boss."

Zhou Ye is from Guangdong. Although he has been the center of attention since he was a child, he is popular wherever he goes.

"I've met Secretary Bai several times, but I haven't met the big boss yet."

Jiang Peiyao chuckled, "My brother-in-law is a very nice person. Don't be nervous when you meet him later. If he likes you, he will give you all the resources you want. Wan Ning is the one she favors the most. As soon as the trainee competition was over, she went to film the national film. That's an incredible start."

Meng Ziyi is carefree. She is the kind of girl with an aggressive look. Although she is beautiful, she lacks a bit of purity.

A lot more charming.

"Yezi, when you meet the big boss later, try to relax as much as possible. It would be best if your clothes can be barely visible."

"Nonsense, my brother-in-law is not good at this."

Jiang Peiyao said with a straight face, "You must not have any bad ideas. There have been many girls in the group who had such bad thoughts in the past, but they were all fired."

"Just kidding, I just think Yezi is a little too nervous."

Meng Ziyi was also nervous but she just didn't say it, and deliberately teased Zhou Ye next to her.

The three of them soon arrived at Sheshan.

The private club is not located in the bustling city center, but in a mountain forest with beautiful scenery.

Located on the mountainside, surrounded by trees, the entire building has three floors.

The single-story area exceeds 1,000 square meters.

Meng Ziyi's family was well-off, but she was still astonished by such a luxurious private club.

As for Zhou Ye standing aside, it was obviously even worse.

This was also Jiang Peiyao's first time here, after all, her brother-in-law had just bought this place.

When you drive in, you will see a large garden with beautiful scenery.

There is also a special butler service inside. After she parked the car, the butler took her to the private restaurant on the third floor.

Not only Chen Pingsheng was here, but Song Shuiqing and his old classmate Yao Anni were also here.

Once Jiang Peiyao and the others arrive, the meal can officially begin.

The dining model in the club is similar to that in Hong Kong, and guests order their own food on tablets.

There are all kinds of cuisines and flavors.

The dishes are also varied, covering various Chinese and Western dishes.

Private clubs are designed to entertain guests, so the basic quality is naturally good.

"Brother-in-law, why are you waiting for me?"

"You said you would come, how can I not wait for you?"

Chen Pingsheng stared at the charming and attractive woman beside her. "Meng Ziyi, you stood up my daughter two years ago. She used to ask why Sister Ziyi didn't come to work."

"Um...you still remember this?"

Meng Ziyi was embarrassed and scratched his head. "I can't come because of something. You see, I haven't joined Tengying Entertainment yet. It's just two years late, so it's not a big deal."

"You are also a talent."

Chen Pingsheng said, "My daughter likes you very much. She said that you look not very smart at first glance, and you are just as smart as her. I didn't expect you to be so smart."

What should she do if the big boss still remembers her dark history?

Even Jiang Peiyao didn't know that the two of them had this affair.

As for Zhou Ye standing aside, he was obviously even more confused.

"I won't say anything more. I'll drink three cups as punishment." Meng Ziyi raised his glass.

"Boss, the Moutai you requested is here!"

"Isn't it beer?"

Meng Ziyi's alcohol tolerance was so low that he passed out after three glasses of white wine.

No more work to do in the afternoon.

"Okay, no one really wants you to drink, just find a seat."

Meng Ziyi's outfit today is quite fashionable, with a short personalized shirt.

There is a small knot near the belly button.

She wore a pair of timeless tight jeans, and her hair was half tied into a bun, with wavy curls covering half of her chest.

She was still thinking about staying away from Chen Pingsheng, but Zhou Ye played a trick on her and made her sit opposite him.

When I looked up, I saw the boss's slightly serious face. How could I eat in peace?

"Brother-in-law, this place is so big. Can I come here more often in the future?"

"Of course, this place is used for private cocktail parties. There's an open-air balcony on the top floor. If you like, you can invite people over to hold a party. Just tell the housekeeper if you need anything."

“Brother-in-law, you are so nice!”

"Come on, you're already in your twenties and almost looking for a boyfriend, but I haven't seen you bring anyone home."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll at least wait until my brother-in-law turns thirty-six."

"That's only two years."

Chen Pingsheng said, "Time flies by so fast. I still remember your chubby face when you were little and running around naked."

I'm so envious. The boss really treats Jiang Peiyao very well.

Also, you really can't stay in such a luxurious environment for too long, as it can easily corrupt people's hearts.

You can only enjoy this by following a big boss.

Meng Ziyi even felt like a fake second-generation rich kid.

"Brother-in-law, you are talking about this again."

Jiang Peiyao blushed. Without Chen Pingsheng, she would still be working in a shady factory, earning two or three thousand yuan a month.

"I just thought you were really interesting when you were little."

The dishes were all served, and he didn't come here just to eat.

It’s mainly because of the big projects of his group, and all the cash that needs to be cashed out has been cashed out.

Most of the remaining ones are still a long way off.

It is time for him to cultivate some new projects for listing, instead of waiting until no projects are listed in the next few years, which would be embarrassing.

Meng Ziyi and Zhou Ye all knew about it.

Although the big boss is the largest capitalist in the entertainment industry.

But he has never focused his energy on the entertainment industry. Instead, new energy has always been his main investment direction.

In addition, the group has too many large projects.

It's hard to imagine how he manages all this by himself.

Now that the big boss is treating them to a meal, listening quietly is no better than anything else.

Yao Annie continued, "Brother Chen, Douyin is rising rapidly. User data in all aspects is exploding. It's still in its wild growth period. I estimate that in another year, it will reach its peak traffic dividend period."

Tengyou Media has not started cashing out yet, but instead it has to invest 500 to 600 million yuan a year.

The purpose is to create a large number of Internet celebrities during this wild growth period.

When the bonus period comes, it will be able to transform along with Douyin and start exploring its own path to monetization.

"Times are changing so fast. It used to be the age of internet startups, but now the traffic dividend has shifted to short videos. Who could have imagined this a year ago?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "Whether it's Tengyou Media or Xinteng Live, their rise proves one thing: the era of short videos has truly arrived. The new internet economy has begun to rely on short video traffic as its mainstay. In the future, perhaps even large companies will have to compete for traffic on this platform. I'm calling you here because I'm planning to give you another billion yuan to open a physical clothing store."

Uh… Yao Annie was surprised. “Brother Chen, didn’t you ask me to close the physical store and focus on online sales?”

"Yes, I did ask you to close the physical clothing store and focus on developing online live streaming. That was because I considered your limited energy. Putting the entire career focus on this was obviously more in line with your development situation at the time. Facts have proved that this move was a very correct one."

Chen Pingsheng said: "As for asking you to spend another billion to open a clothing store now, it is to pave the way for you in the next five or even ten years. If you have opened a clothing store yourself, you should understand that the two biggest operating costs of a traditional clothing store are rent and inventory.

"You now have the channel of online live streaming to sell goods, and you should have a deep understanding that if you are given another opportunity to open a clothing store and use online live streaming to reduce inventory, the profits of offline clothing stores will inevitably increase significantly.

"More importantly, short videos are still in their golden period. Capital is still growing wildly, and young people in the industry are running around like headless flies.

"This situation will only occur in the early stages of short video development. When it reaches its peak, the number of people entering the industry every day will likely increase exponentially. By that time, the influx of a large number of companies or individuals will definitely shorten this peak period to 1 to 3 years.

"Later, it will be just like the competition in the internet and physical industries that you see now. Everything will return to its essence of crazy internal competition.

"The reason why I asked you to open a clothing store now is to cope with the future era of internal circulation. To put it bluntly, others make money by selling goods, but you can make money from the capital market, that is, the stock price surge. From the perspective of competition, these are two completely different levels.

“Plan carefully before you act, and think five steps ahead before you take one step. Only then will you be able to handle everything with ease in the future.”

Yao Anni was completely shocked.

Her old classmate has a very long-term business thinking ability.

When she was still average, she was asked to withdraw from the physical clothing industry and focus on online sales.

When she was doing very well in selling products, she even felt a little inflated inside.

Then she was hit hard and told that this was nothing.

It’s just a matter of taking advantage of the short video bonus period.

If you want to be truly invincible in the future, you must be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Spend 90% of your time planning for the next five years, so that when the bonus period ends and everyone is caught in the era of internal competition, you can sit back and relax.

Look at the world with a smile.

All of this is based on his personal judgment of the future.

If they had made the right judgment and taken this step five years in advance, they would definitely be able to stand at the top of the clothing industry.

If the judgment is wrong.

This should definitely not happen, after all, he took out 10 billion himself.

Even if there is a loss, he will bear it alone.

Tengying Group suffered huge losses from the small projects it invested in.

There are countless of them, and none of the major projects have failed.

The main reason is that his old classmate is personally at the helm of the big project.

As for the smaller ones, they simply serve as training for the group's new investment managers.

It doesn't matter if you lose.

Without a large number of failures, how can we cultivate truly excellent investors?

Yao Anni finally understood why Tengying Group's major projects could achieve rapid success at critical moments.

The main reason is because of his old classmate who would personally come out to remind me at every critical point.

And pour a basin of cold water on you in time.

Let me tell you using actual data that you haven't reached the expansion period yet.
