Chapter 469: The Great Demon City



It is very hot in July.

It was such a lively scene after the family returned to Shanghai, especially Erpi Ya who was extremely happy.

The two-month holiday is a happy period for children, but also a difficult period for parents.

Chen Pingsheng is fine.

Although the three little ones in my family are different, they are generally very easy to take care of.

My mistress Chen Lu is about to turn one year old, and I don’t know whether we should hold a birthday party in Shanghai.

"Dad, do you want to come with me to the foundation?"

Chen Anan has his own peace and happiness fund, and his wife Song Yanxi bought her a five-story villa on the Bund.

I stayed in the mountain village for more than half a month this time, and I gained a lot after coming back.

Now that she has her own things to do, Chen Pingsheng will certainly not stop her.

"Go ahead, and remember to come home for dinner!"

"Yeah!" Chen Anan asked the driver to take her to her foundation, and by the way, informed Shen Youwei that she had arrived in the Magic City.

After she left, Erpi Ya was the only one left at home staring at him.

"Dad, why can my sister start a company but I can't?"

"You are only a few years old. Let's talk about it when you are as sensible as your sister."

Erpiya likes to compete with her sister in everything, but she can never win.

"I'm also very sensible, okay!"

"Do you believe this yourself?"

Chen Pingsheng was too lazy to pay attention to her. He had been out for half a month and had to go to the company to take a look.

Xiaosan Chen Lu is still being taken care of by his grandmother Peng Ying and his maternal grandmother. These two elders now spend their days either dancing square dance with others or looking for money-making projects.

Some projects can really make them earn a little money, but most of the time they are cheated.

Anyway, I won’t invest too much, I’ll just treat it as a hobby when I get older.

Chen Pingsheng went to the garage to drive a car, but he did not choose the Grand Phantom, nor did he drive his own Maybach S680.

Instead, he drove the convertible burgundy Bugatti Veyron.

The 8.0T power model has a landing price of more than 50 million yuan, which is the well-deserved ceiling in the sports car industry.

When you step on the accelerator, the roar is so exciting.

Erpi Ya was sitting in the passenger seat, wearing a pair of frog-eye glasses, and her scattered hair was blown everywhere.

Shanghai is still the best. No matter where you go, you will definitely get people turning their heads to look at you.

This is what a little princess looks like.

Erpi Ya said, "Dad, didn't you say that after we come back I can go wherever I want to play?"

"Haven't you had enough fun in the mountains?"

"That's not playing at all, it's clearly to overcome the tribulation."

Erpi Ya must remember what he said, don't try to fool her.

Chen Pingsheng asked her to tell him where she wanted to go for fun.

Erpi Ya counted carefully with his little finger.

"I want to go skiing, travel around the world on the ocean, and even have an adventure to Antarctica."

She really looks excited. Since she finally has a vacation, of course she wants to go out and have fun!

Chen Pingsheng didn't object, he just said that there was no time now and he would wait for two days to see.

Erpi Ya said "oh", and then went to the company with him.

The Bugatti was parked at the entrance of the headquarters, and the competent cousin Chen Fan was still working as a security guard here.

He has been married to his normal wife for several years, but they still don't have any children.

This is a bit strange.

Chen Fan's mother, Third Aunt, often called to ask about him, but he never paid any attention.

It seems I need to find time to ask.

Chen Fan is different from his other relatives. He was born with intellectual disabilities and his IQ always remains below 10 years old.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a child who never grows up.

Chen Pingsheng patted him on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement before going upstairs to work.

As for Erpi Ya, he will definitely go up with him.

There is great news in July.

That is, Pinduoduo, the company he invested in, will officially complete its listing on Nasdaq this month.

The market value is definitely over 20 billion US dollars, but the exact amount is still unknown.

He has a 3% stake in Pinduoduo, and once the company goes public, the investment will yield considerable returns.

In addition to Pinduoduo's listing this year, Meituan, another company he invested in, will also complete its listing on the Hong Kong stock market in September this year.

The valuation is over 50 billion US dollars, and he also owns 3% of the shares.

Now, not to mention the hype projects, he has made a fortune just from these investments.

It is obvious that listing is just the beginning for these two stocks, and there is still huge room for growth in the future.

As for Tesla, another major stock he invested in, its share price has continued to soar due to the impact of domestic factory construction.

It has now exceeded 70 billion US dollars.

Chen Pingsheng knocked on the table and was thinking of continuing to buy.

This is not because of anything else, but mainly because the country's support for new energy is unprecedented.

No purchase tax, no interest, and all kinds of subsidies added up.

As long as new energy technology achieves major breakthroughs, it is hard to say that this market cannot surpass traditional fuel vehicles.

It's just a matter of time.

Once new energy becomes the trend of the times, Tesla will become the leading company in the new energy field.

The stock price is bound to soar again.

He doesn't know how much it will increase to, but it will definitely be higher than 100 billion US dollars.

Don't worry about it for now. Buy some when you have money.

Secretary Zhang Wanyi sent an email saying that Guo Ziyi from Hong Kong went to Guangdong to visit Tengyou Media some time ago.

The inspection lasted three days, and he happened to be taking his two little ones to a mountainous rural area during that time, so he was not accompanied.

Guo Ziyi is the third-generation eldest grandson of the Guo family in Hong Kong, and he has also run a very famous top-level department store chain in the mainland.

The rise of the internet celebrity economy is unstoppable.

He himself works in the department store business and also wants to complete some market layout in this area.

The best way is undoubtedly to directly invest in the mature Tengyou Media.

Tengyou Media’s three current shareholders are Xinteng Live, which holds a 20% stake.

Chen Pingsheng himself holds 50%, and Zhang Yiming of Douyin Group owns the remaining 30%.

Judging from these three major shareholders alone, its future is very stable.

Guo Ziyi hopes to purchase 15% of the shares, and the cooperation method can be to exchange shares for cash.

Chen Pingsheng did not quite agree with this plan, mainly because he already owned Tenghui Department Store.

I'm not too interested in the kind of top-notch shopping malls that Guo Ziyi owns.

Relatively speaking, he wants cash more.

As for the benefits of joining Guo Ziyi as a strategic partner, they are very obvious.

That is to complete Tengyou Media’s market layout in the high-end department store sector.

As long as it can reach a cooperation with Guo Ziyi, Tengyou Media will become the future luxury influencer to promote products.

The discount is definitely the biggest.

After all, his advantages in this area are particularly obvious.

If we are unable to provide strategic benefits to Tengyou Media or improve its shortcomings.

No matter how much money Chen Pingsheng has, he will never sell his shares to it because it will be meaningless.

It is not good for the future of the business at all.

The most outrageous thing is that two young second-generations actually wanted to do a business with no capital, attempting to buy stocks for one yuan under the protection of their parents.

Damn it.

After these two people found Zhang Wanyi, they threatened her both openly and covertly for a while.

I almost said it out loud, but I once won first place in the district for my composition.

The title of the composition is "My Father, the District Chief".

Coincidentally, Tengyou Media is located in that district.

After all, Chen Pingsheng himself is from Beijing, and Tengying Group has reached this stage.

How can I be threatened so easily?

Chen Pingsheng took his private plane to Guangdong.

It just so happens that Guo Ziyi is still here, and the Guo family’s commercial complexes are developing very well both in Shanghai and Guangdong.

The two men agreed to meet at Baiyun headquarters, and Chen Pingsheng's conditions were very simple.

According to its current development trend, Douyin is obviously more optimistic than Kuaishou.

Tengyou Media, which depends on Douyin for its growth, will have a future market value that is incomparable to that of Xinteng Live.

To use the simplest analogy, one is going downhill, while the other is still growing rapidly.

Therefore, Tengyou Media’s valuation of 40 billion is not high.

If Guo Ziyi wants to get 15%, he must invest 6 billion in cash.

As long as he thinks it's worth it, 6 billion is not too much for the Guo family, one of the four richest families in Hong Kong.

Last year alone, the Guo family spent 21.7 billion to buy a 140-acre core commercial plot in the heart of Shanghai.

Later, another 30 billion was spent on investment and construction.

The most outrageous thing is that the Guo family did not use any loans to obtain the more than 50 billion yuan.

All of it is self-owned funds, which shows that its strength is not comparable to those super rich people in the mainland.

Let’s put it this way, Xu Daibei and many real estate tycoons in the mainland are just superficial.

Once the economic situation undergoes a major reversal, banks will tighten credit.

All these people will face the crisis of funding chain interruption.

But the Guo family certainly won't, as their annual rental income alone is between 15 billion and 20 billion.

This kind of strength is simply not comparable to those pseudo-rich people in the mainland.

Even though Chen Pingsheng has developed to this day, his own commercial real estate income is only more than 2 billion yuan a year.

Compared with old and wealthy families like the Guo family, there is still a huge gap.

Guo Ziyi meant cross-holding, just like Zhang Yiming of Douyin, exchanging shares of Shanghai Shopping Mall with Tengyou Media.

Plus some cash compensation.

Share swap is also a common form of cooperation in large projects.

Chen Pingsheng explicitly refused, "To be honest, I need some cash right now, so I can only reject your proposal."

"You still need cash?"

Six billion is nothing to the Guo family, especially when Douyin spent 2.5% of its shares to complete the share swap with Tencent Media.

Guo Ziyi smiled and said, "You're probably the person in the entire Magic City who has the most cash. If you're willing, take out a loan using the commercial properties in Hong Kong. I guarantee that within three days, I'll get you 20 billion in cash."

Chen Pingsheng’s global headquarters in Hong Kong alone is worth more than 10 billion yuan, not to mention the many storefronts he owns, such as Tenghui Department Store and Shuiyunjian.

If he wanted to, he could indeed use these properties to quickly borrow tens of billions of funds.

"There's no need for that. I'm just short of some money. If I were given 20 billion, I wouldn't have anywhere to spend it right now."

"Okay, since you're so insistent, I'll go back to Hong Kong and hold a board meeting to discuss this. I'll get back to you within seven days."

Since it involves a cash investment of 6 billion, it is not easy for Guo Ziyi to make the decision alone.

He also has to report to the board of directors and obtain their approval first.

Chen Pingsheng waited for his reply and took him to visit his Tengying Art Academy.

He originally opened this school because he wanted to open the door for ordinary people to enter the entertainment industry.

Improve the current atmosphere in the entertainment industry.

Who would have thought that this place would become the back garden of Yateng Short Drama and Tengyou Media.

Up to now, at least half of the Internet celebrities have entered Tengyou Media from Tengying Art Academy.

This is actually normal, after all, students in art schools are beautiful.

The talents they possess are much stronger than those of ordinary internet celebrities.

At least when it comes to dancing, the girls here do more than just wiggle their hips.

He is also good at traditional Chinese dance and trainee competitions.

If people in the entertainment industry really want to cross over and become internet celebrities, it will definitely be a dimensionality reduction attack on ordinary internet celebrities.

The reason why Tengyou Media has been able to develop so rapidly is that it has also occupied a place in the entire Douyin internet celebrity circle.

It can be said that Tengying Art Academy has made an indelible contribution.

He feels that the current Tencent Film Entertainment is more of a wedding dress for Tencent Media and other industries.

Guo Ziyi's visit to his place was quite a grand affair.

Chen Pingsheng also explained to him some of the ideas when the school was founded, as well as some of its current development directions.

It can be said that as long as his Tengying Art School and Tengying Entertainment are still operating normally.

Tengyou Media will never be short of internet celebrities.

He completely used the resources of the entertainment industry to attack from a lower dimension to enter the circle of internet celebrities.

Girls who work hard may not be able to become big stars due to the fierce competition in the entertainment industry.

He feels like a fish in water when he goes to the circle of internet celebrities where grassroots people gather.

There is no need to worry about having no future.

The reason why I brought Guo Ziyi to visit Tengying Art School was to make him feel at ease.

The two of them have collaborated on more than one or two projects, and it is still very enjoyable.

The main thing is that everyone made money.

Therefore, when Guo Ziyi wanted to cross over into the internet celebrity economy, the first thing he thought of was to cooperate with Chen Pingsheng.

As long as Tik Tok can continue to grow at the same pace as it has in the past two years.

Then the value of Tengyou Media will only get higher and higher.

There is a high probability that he will not lose money on these 6 billion.

Once the Douyin shopping mall is opened, live streaming sales will become popular.

With thousands of internet celebrities, Tengyou Media is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

It will surely shock countless people.

Many of his traditional business layouts in the past two years have been in this direction.

Once live streaming is opened to sell goods, the value of Tengyou Media may be far more than the current 40 billion.

Of course, that’s all in the future. I want Guo Ziyi to take out the money honestly.

He definitely needs to watch something.

Chen Pingsheng took him around for a long time, and after he left, he took his secretary Zhang Wanyi to have dinner alone.

It has been a while since the secretary was transferred to be the president.

After Sun Liancheng left, Tengyou Media was in chaos for a while at the beginning.

It stabilized quickly afterwards.

The main reason is that except for Sun Liancheng, other executives did not move.

As long as they are not stupid enough to go against the group, their positions will basically not change.

With the cooperation of so many original executives, the secretary quickly managed to completely straighten out Tengyou Media.

Until now, it has successively exchanged equity with Douyin.

Later, the Guo family, a powerful major shareholder, will be introduced.

From a strategic perspective, with these two companies investing, Tengyou's future will obviously be smoother.

This is also something that the secretary has always admired.

The big boss is far away in Shanghai, but he can still help her win the battle from a thousand miles away.

Complete the overall business layout as early as possible so that they can pick the fruits as soon as they are ripe.

Be the first person to try something new.
