"Jiye, grandpa will take you shopping, okay?"
"Good duck."
After the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the urban villages began to return to their former bustle.
However, many outsiders went home before the New Year and never came back here again.
Many new young people have moved into this urban village. The thing that Guangdong lacks the most every year is probably migrant workers.
Chen Pingsheng took little Jiye and his tutor Qingqing to go shopping together.
There are many large factories outside the urban village, and further away are high-rise buildings, which are the headquarters of those super large groups.
There is also a very prosperous commercial district in this area, and the most famous landmark building is the Tengying Department Store, which was built with an investment of over 10 billion yuan.
Like most top-tier shopping malls, Tengying Department Store has a very clear positioning, which is luxury and high-end.
The average per capita consumption will not be less than 10,000 yuan. If you want to go shopping in this place, you basically cannot afford it if your annual income is less than one million yuan.
Any item in there costs thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, and even the milk tea brands outside start at fifty-one cups.
This shopping mall was not invested by him, but was planned and built by An An himself.
In addition to the Tengying Shopping Mall, there is also an ultra-luxurious six-star Tengying Hotel nearby.
In addition, a series of entertainment facilities are provided to connect the shopping street, night snack plaza, and bar street.
All aspects can satisfy the consumption needs of young people.
An An has been working on this project for over seven years and has already made back all his investment. It can still generate extremely high cash income every year.
Tengyou Media, which is not far from her, invested 2 billion yuan to build the largest live broadcast base in the country 20 years ago.
Later, they increased their investment and built a short drama film and television entertainment city, as well as the larger Tengyou community.
Building houses and selling them to his own employees is also Chen Pingsheng's consistent tradition.
Everywhere you look, you'll see that over 90% of the large buildings belong to them.
If you look further ahead, you will see Tengyou Media Artist Training Academy.
An entertainment training center for internet celebrities, film and television artists covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres.
There is also the Shuiyunjian Guangdong Branch Training Center and the Yuanmeng Fund Entrepreneur Training University.
These all belong to him.
Chen Pingsheng himself is not sure how many industries he owns, but looking at the entire Baiyun, most of the industries belong to him.
"Jiye, grandpa will take you to visit a high-end shopping mall today."
"Are we going to go inside and buy something?"
"Of course not. I just wanted to use the free restroom to broaden my horizons."
“Is that so?”
Xiao Jiye nodded seriously. He couldn't afford the things in the big shopping malls, but couldn't he go and pee for free?
Chen Pingsheng parked his Maybach in the underground parking lot. He spent a long time explaining the reason for buying this car to Xiao Jiye.
They say it's to make more money, but in fact they are just pursuing pleasure and don't want to put themselves in a difficult position.
The top-of-the-line Maybach is still very comfortable to drive.
The three of them took the elevator together to visit the Tengying Department Store. It was seven stories high and had everything, except for the cheapest items.
Even a small piece of children's clothing costs thousands of dollars. Such a shopping mall is not for ordinary people.
Xiao Jiye seldom came to such places, so Chen Pingsheng took him everywhere to visit and even hung the Maybach key around his waist to prevent those salesgirls who looked down on him from giving Xiao Jiye the cold shoulder.
It would take at least two days to walk from the first floor to the seventh floor.
The mall is this big.
Chen Pingsheng noticed that Xiao Jiye was eyeing a yellow schoolbag and obviously liked it very much.
"Jiye, do you like that schoolbag?"
"No, I just have a classmate who carries this and he often shows off."
Chen Pingsheng saw the tag "Angel Wings" and the price was more than 5,000 but less than 6,000.
An overseas brand, a luxury product among children's backpacks, many wealthy children carry this.
"There's nothing to brag about. It's less than ten thousand."
"Grandpa, let's go. The schoolbag my mom bought me is pretty good. I like it very much."
Silly boy, do you think the schoolbag your mother bought you is cheaper than this?
It's much more expensive, but it just covers up the original brand.
"Well... let's go. When Jiye grows up and can make money, we can buy whatever we want."
There's really not much to see in big shopping malls. People without money like to call the things there a waste of money.
Rich people just go to the market and buy whatever they like.
Although Chen Pingsheng did not buy anything with Xiao Jiye, he gave Liu Qingqing a limited edition Chanel bag.
The selling price is more than 500,000 yuan, and even if it is recycled second-hand, it can be sold for at least 300,000 yuan.
Luxury goods still have very good second-hand circulation prices, especially those that have not been used many times.
He gave it to Jiye without her knowledge as a New Year's gift, asking her to teach Jiye well in the days to come.
Chen Pingsheng took Jiye shopping for the whole afternoon, and only at dinner time did they go to the Hong Kong-style restaurant on the seventh floor for dinner.
Hong Kong is the city with the highest living standard in the world. This standard does not refer to other things, but to consumption.
As for authentic Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, they are very popular in Guangdong and the consumption is naturally not low.
Xiao Jiye ordered a plate of roast pork rice, while Chen Pingsheng ordered a plate of dry-fried beef noodles and curry fish balls.
They are the cheapest dishes.
The grandfather and grandson are really frugal when they go out, and they are reluctant to order more dishes.
"Grandpa, didn't you say that mom works nearby?" Little Jiye asked curiously.
"Yes, your mother is nearby, but she doesn't have time to eat with you right now."
"I understand. Mom also has to work hard to make money. When I grow up, I will definitely make a lot of money for her."
"If your mother heard you say this, she would probably be very happy."
After dinner, Chen Pingsheng took him to the amusement park downstairs. Little Jiye was lively by nature and especially liked to play games like go-karts.
Baiyun is still a good place. After moving here, Chen Pingsheng always feels like he is surrounded by his own company.
I feel very safe.
Jiye was about to start school, so Chen Pingsheng took him out to have fun for two or three days, and he officially went to work after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The company I joined this time is a short drama writing and filming company, whose main business is short dramas.
After so many years of development, short plays are no longer the awkward ones they were when they first came out.
Instead, it has become the best fragmented entertainment method to accompany meals and kill time.
The annual output value of short dramas will surpass that of the domestic film industry as early as 2025.
Chen Pingsheng did not come through the formal application channel this time. He is so old and does not have much experience in the short drama industry. He really had to come to apply with just a resume.
He would definitely be eliminated, so he made arrangements with his secretary Zhang Wanyi to become the team leader.
There are only six people in their group, three screenwriters and three new actors.
The director and other things are all arranged by the company.
Only after the script is reviewed can you apply for a director to shoot the film.
The biggest feature of a short drama is that it can be completed in half a month, and the series is usually around 80 episodes.
