Chapter 783 Meeting Place and Dispute
The gathering was held in Chen Pingsheng’s own super private club.
It is very hidden inside and can block all external signals, making it impossible for anyone to secretly photograph or eavesdrop.
The older generation is discussing the next steps for the group, or perhaps a series of chaos arising from inheritance issues.
The younger generation gathers on the other side. The second generation who can be here are definitely the top class.
The families all started out with over 100 billion. Without over 100 billion, you don’t even have the qualifications to sit at the table for dinner.
"Chen Xinyi, your dad is really weird. He only brought his daughter-in-law and not his own son."
"How about, like you, inheriting the family business and seeing its market value drop from over 300 billion to 600 in less than three years?"
Erpiya speaks bluntly and she really doesn't give face to anyone, but everyone is used to it.
These second-generations still looked down on Su Xiaoxi. After all, Erpi Ya taught Su Xiaoxi for a while.
Her younger siblings are only allowed to talk about it within their own family, and outsiders have no right to say anything about them.
"I was taking the wrong approach. Give me a few more years and I will definitely be able to return to the top," said Liu Wentai.
"One wrong line and you've wiped out 80% of your family's wealth. If you give me another two years, I'm afraid your old man will be so angry that he'll kick his legs."
"Chen Xinyi, I'm speaking to you out of kindness. There's no need for you to say such harsh words, right?"
Liu Wentai can look down on Su Xiaoxi, and he can also openly or secretly mock Chen Lu for being the first heir to the Chen family, but relying on his wife to support him.
But he absolutely didn't dare to argue with Er Pi Ya. Everyone in the business world knew that it was difficult to save face for the Second Princess.
Like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end, she does whatever she wants.
But her family's strength is there, and she herself is far ahead in the second-generation circle. Who can say anything to her?
"I need you to be kind?"
Erpi Ya sneered, "Aren't you just trying to say my brother is incompetent? He's certainly average, but he's not as headstrong and self-righteous as you, a fool who harms both himself and others."
"Oh... I say, you two should just calm down. After all, our parents have been working together for decades. The fact that we're able to get together is simply because our parents have a good relationship."
Tong Zelan has two sons and one daughter, all of whom are quite old, and her sons are not particularly promising.
The only daughter, Tong Huiren, is the one who can truly inherit the family business.
This name looks ordinary, but it was specially calculated by a master based on her birth date.
She is also the one who has the best relationship with An An.
"It's okay, it's okay. A few quarrels won't affect our private relationship."
Others also tried to reconcile.
Don’t think they are easy to talk to now, that’s because the people sitting in these positions are not other people.
No matter how noisy everyone is, they will help each other in private.
Tong Huiren also took the initiative to ask An An, who was standing beside her, "Does your father really not intend to let your brother inherit part of the family business?"
"I don't plan to."
An An said, "My brother's personality is really not suitable for the fierce competition in the business world. He also told my father clearly that he wants to be a leisurely rich man in the future."
"That's fine."
Tong Huiren also said: "My mother has always said that your father is a truly great entrepreneur and a wise businessman. You are the only one in your family who has inherited part of the family business, while your sister has taken a different approach and started global capital. Her talent in this area is indeed unique.
"As for your brother, since he doesn't like the business world and doesn't have the talent, it's better for him to be the richest, idle second-generation heir as he is now, rather than inheriting the family business like Liu Wentai did, who squandered 80% of the family assets in just a few years."
Liu Wentai has now become a laughing stock in the circle. This time, his father urgently contacted Tong Zelan and asked the seven chiefs to reunite in Hong Kong.
In fact, it is also to solve the current predicament at home. To put it bluntly, it is to clean up the mess left by Liu Wentai.
Poor guy, the bigger the blow he suffers, the harder he wants to prove himself.
When it comes to hard work, he is really impeccable.
In terms of intelligence, he is definitely ranked last among everyone.
"Can you guys please stop staring at me when you're talking about that stuff?"
Liu Wentai always felt that everyone was laughing at him, but he had no achievements to refute.
These are not his bad friends. If you want to hear the truth, you just need to find a group of people who are in a higher position than you.
In the past, Liu Wentai only heard flattery in the company and among his friends.
It was as if he really was the favored one who had never missed a chance.
When I meet someone like that, I'll immediately scold him so badly that even his own mother won't recognize him.
"Just be quiet. Uncle Liu is right. You only listen to good words."
Tong Huiren also cursed him subconsciously. If nothing unexpected happened, the first one to be eliminated among the seven chiefs would definitely be the Liu Wentai family.
The family originally had assets worth two or three hundred billion yuan, but who could have produced such a smart guy like Liu Wentai, whose ambitions were higher than the sky but whose hands were thinner than paper?
In just a few years, the Liu family is now in crisis.
If his father had not been one of the seven chiefs, the family business would have been attacked by a large amount of capital and the controlling stake would have been seized long ago.
Chen Pingsheng hasn't said anything, so it's not appropriate for everyone to take advantage of his misfortune.
After all, if it really comes down to money, who can beat the Chen family?
He didn't take action even with such a good opportunity, so how can others take action?
If the second generation wants to work hard, it will also be a huge pit.
"You guys are not all here to attack me today, are you?"
"Don't worry, your face isn't that big yet."
Erpi Ya said bluntly: "No matter how incompetent my brother is, he can recognize himself. Liu Wentai, if I hear you say bad things about him outside again, I will crush you to death like crushing an ant."
Liu Wentai's old face flushed red. After all, he was already in his thirties, and this was the first time in his life that someone pointed at his nose and scolded him like this.
Chen Lu has indeed become a hot topic among the top second-generation circles, mainly because he voluntarily gave up his family inheritance rights.
Being willing to be an idle second-generation person is a little too funny in the eyes of others.
After all, either of his parents is a big shot in charge of a certain area.
Especially his father, is there anyone in the country richer than him?
I'm afraid everyone will have a big question mark.
Because no one knows how much money his family has.
Anyway, there are definitely trillions.
The richest man in China listed by Forbes is worth only over 600 billion.
It can be seen how big the gap is between the actual situation and this list.
Rumor has it that their family spends billions every year to buy out all Internet family news.
That is to say, spend ten billion to block all similar news about the Chen family's wealth.
Only they know that this is not just gossip, but the truth.
In reality, Chen Pingsheng spends 3 billion every year to buy out all the news about his wealth around the world.
Decades have passed, and their family has never been on the list.
However, Chen Lu, the first heir of the Chen family, actually gave up the control over the property of his own group.
This shows how surprised the second generation is.
This is like a prince in ancient times who had been the crown prince for twenty years and suddenly said that he didn't want the throne anymore.
From now on, I want to be a leisurely prince.
The only thing Liu Wentai could still be proud of was that he thought Chen Lu was even worse than him.
The first heir of the Chen family is so incompetent, what is there for him to be ashamed of?
Erpi Ya knew that her brother would be laughed at by outsiders when he made that decision.
Even her father will be affected.
But there is no way. Chen Lu himself said that if he became the president of his family's company, it would harm both himself and others.
No matter how bad Chen Lu is, he is unwilling to destroy the group with hundreds of thousands of employees just because of his status as the only son.
His appointment as an airborne president has no other meaning except to harm others.
If that’s the case, why not tell your father in advance?
If you don't have the ability, you don't have the ability. Just admit it. What's the big deal?
I have to say that the mentality of an ordinary person like Chen Lu is really not comparable to that of ordinary people.
No matter how much Song Yanxi didn't want to do it, she couldn't help but feel that he didn't want it.
Give up those things that originally belonged to you but you can't afford.
It really takes courage to know whether to say it or not.
So, no matter who it is, Erpi Ya will not allow them to talk about his own brother.
…
Chen Lu made his own choice entirely and had little influence from outsiders.
His junior year will soon be over, and once that's over, all that's left is to go to the group for an internship.
Compared to what you can learn in university, you can obviously learn more through group practice.
Society is a huge school.
Su Xiaoxi also has to work in Hong Kong because of this, and this is the first time she has followed Chen Pingsheng to attend a business gathering.
When these second-generation people get together, it is naturally not just a simple war of words. They can also cooperate on many business projects at the same time.
After all, big families like Chen, Liu, Tong, and Shen each have their own industries and resources.
The upper circle will not be willing to help the lower circle, and the main reason is that you cannot provide the resources they want.
Resources are the most valuable.
An An took over his own group, including entertainment, mobile phones, snacks, coffee, etc.
Erpiya’s core focus is still on global investment, but she also owns Tencent Media and Wanda Commercial Management.
These things can easily help countless small businesses take off.
No matter how bad Liu Wentai's situation is, his family is still a beverage empire, and their products can be found in every small shop on every street.
It's similar for other people. Many times, such business gatherings are mainly to promote resource cooperation.
For example, a new beverage invested by Erpi Ya originally sold well only in one large province.
The market value and potential are still limited. Once the Liu family invests, we can take advantage of their sales channels that are spread across the streets and alleys across the country.
You can immediately become an old hen that lays golden eggs.
When it comes to investment, vision is only one aspect; the most important thing is the vast resources at hand.
That is, something that can be easily mobilized.
Erpi Ya holds money in her left hand and her parents' connections in her right hand. In fact, she only needs to have a slightly more accurate vision to easily maneuver in the capital market.
Everyone has already passed the stage from zero to one, and the way these people make money is directly through resource integration.
Corporate mergers set industry rules of the game, thereby directly boosting the group's market value.
The reason why Liu Wentai suffered such a terrible defeat was that he did not have the ability to manage the group, but insisted on overthrowing everything his father had created.
It is euphemistically called reform in the new era.
Su Xiaoxi was able to attend such a party, which broadened her horizons.
What she imagined as investing was sitting in an office and listening to people report their business plans or dreams.
In fact, big capital investment is done by a few people you know sitting together and telling you that they have a good project and ask if you want to work together.
In this way, an investment plan worth tens of billions of dollars was decided.
It sounds a bit ridiculous, but reality is just that.
The so-called hard work is nothing compared to family resources, and those who can sit at the table basically have a history of success.
This is how the top-level money game works. You make your own rules, follow a set of patterns, and easily reap billions of wealth.
This is probably the reason why rich second-generations like to play with finance.
It’s not scary for the second generation to play with finance, the scariest thing is to go home and inherit the family business.
Many wealthy people in China have failed because of this. Those well-known entrepreneurs who once influenced an era have all let the second generation take over.
Very few can maintain their glory, and most of them fall from grace quickly.
An An and Er Pi Ya are already the best in the second generation circle.
It’s just that everyone originally thought that Chen Lu would inherit his father’s glory like them, but the reality is that he gave up directly.
He trapped himself in the prodigal son fund and received 10 million yuan every month as living expenses.
They are not allowed to start a business or inherit a family group within ten years.
Reality is so cruel, or perhaps it can be said that the rules that Chen Pingsheng set in order to keep his family going are cruel.
Of course, Chen Lu can spend more than 10 million every month. After all, he gave up inheriting the family business, and his wife Su Xiaoxi still holds nearly 50 billion in Xiangjiang Tenghui Capital.
With this capital, the couple can easily support ten generations.
Whether they can achieve greater success in the future depends entirely on their own abilities.
Su Xiaoxi has a headquarters building in Hong Kong worth over 10 billion yuan, which was given to her by Chen Pingsheng as a wedding gift.
Erpi Ya is even more exaggerated. She owns a skyscraper in Victoria Harbour worth over 80 billion.
As early as 2028, when the Hong Kong property market hit bottom, Chen Pingsheng bought it and gave it to her.
The building generates a net income of around 5 billion yuan every year from rent.
An An has a Tencent Pictures global headquarters building that he purchased earlier.
The market value is also over 10 billion.
Hong Kong is not a big place, but its housing prices are among the highest in the world. The most important thing is that the property rights are long enough.
As long as people have enough money, most of them will come to this place to buy property, either a building or a storefront to resist the risk of loss of family assets.
Chen Pingsheng naturally bought everything, and he also has five supermarkets here.
There are countless storefronts and the like.
It can be said that there is not much problem with Chen Lu’s choice. If he wants to lie down, he can really lie down anywhere.
After the daytime party ended, Chen Pingsheng invited everyone to his home for dinner.
Although he rarely comes to Hong Kong now, there are still Filipino maids in his multi-billion dollar mansion.
Such a huge villa is definitely enough for a whole family to live in.
But An An, Er Pi Ya and Chen Lu still have their own big houses.
Among the known large villas in Hong Kong, the most expensive one is only over 4 billion yuan.
It can be said that these villas of his family are among the top ten in Hong Kong.
