The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 25 Late May

Like being struck by lightning.

Song Wu stood there dumbfounded.

She seemed surprised that her own sister would say such a thing.

Shouldn't a family with resources help their own sister without hesitation?
If she becomes a big star, wouldn't everyone be proud?

"Sister, how can you talk like that?"

"If I don't say it that way, then teach me how to say it?"

Song Yanxi said directly, "When your brother-in-law first came to Beijing, he heard that you were in high school and under a lot of academic pressure, so he specially brought you three old hens from his hometown."

"Do you even remember what you did?"

Song Yanxi vividly remembers that day. They were already disliked on the train because they were carrying some smelly old hens.

After getting off the train, Song Wu made no attempt to hide her disgust.

They practically have the word "country bumpkin" etched on their foreheads, and now they're actually thinking things through.

If you don't treat him as your brother-in-law, he won't acknowledge you as his sister-in-law either.

"Song Yanxi, you can't talk about your sister like that."

Liu Fen stepped forward and said, "Chen Pingsheng is doing quite well now, but you should know that once your sister becomes a big star, she can easily earn tens of millions for just one movie. At that time, the money she earns will be far beyond what Chen Pingsheng can compare to."

"She still considers herself a big star? Do you think today's audiences are idiots?"

Song Yanxi started arguing with them again, though she believed she was justifying her argument.

"My neighbor Zhao Liying also has no education or background, but do you know how hard she works?"

“Every day before dawn, he would practice his lines outside. He had been running around as an extra for five years, cherishing every opportunity he had. But look at your daughter. She looks down on every small role. She thinks this is no good and that is no good. She hasn’t even graduated yet, but she only wants to play the lead role.”

"If someone like her, who is all talk and no action, can become a big star, then my ancestors must have crossed grasslands and carried guns."

"Otherwise, we can only wash up and go to sleep, and daydream."

"Heh." Liu Fen also had a defiant temper; others said her eldest daughter was quite capable.

It's fine to call her son-in-law, but it's absolutely unacceptable to call her her youngest daughter, Song Wu.

The reason is simple: too much has been invested in her.

The hopes for the future also rest on the youngest daughter.

If she doesn't become a big star, then I'll have no hope left in this life.

"This is the first time I've ever heard of an older sister talking to her younger sister like that. Song Yanxi, you've really made something of yourself."

"That's exactly right, I was just telling the truth."

Song Yanxi said, "I just hope she can be more down-to-earth and stop having unrealistic dreams all day long."

It's normal for a family to argue and bicker.

Song Wu didn't feel wronged at all; she was just angry that her own sister wouldn't help her.

She's the younger sister; this is what she, as the older sister, should contribute.

If Chen Pingsheng were here, he would definitely make a few laughs at her.

He only decided to invest in Zhao Liying to help her because he saw how hard she worked.

In his view, minor fame in the entertainment industry depends on luck.

Becoming famous relies on people promoting you, but staying famous requires good character.

Someone like his sister-in-law, Song Wu, would only take it for granted if someone helped her.

He can spot this kind of person at a glance.

Do you think those big directors and big investors wouldn't see that?

No one is willing to promote someone like that to a higher position.

So, Song Yanxi wasn't actually wrong.

The family parted on bad terms again, but Song Wu secretly vowed in her heart that one day she would prove herself.

You are all short-sighted; fortunes change every thirty years.

Today you ignore me, tomorrow you'll be begging for my attention.

He even hummed a couple of lines at the end.

After having a meal, Song Yanxi took Xiao An'an back to Beixin'an, which was her real home.

……

Beixin'an, East Street Second Store.

The six cashiers were still working hard, and the recharge promotion was still in full swing.

This store has really taken off. Once this recharge promotion ends, the profits here will definitely reach a new high.

As for Chen Pingsheng himself, he is already preparing to hold promotions at three other stores.

"Ding, your accumulated income is 680,000. Would you like to activate random multiplication?"

Except for the first day of the May Day holiday, he activated random multiplication.

The rest will all be accumulated.

After six days, he successfully reached 680,000. The exciting moment had arrived; he had never won a tenfold return before.

If we can open it today, we'll be set for life.

"Turn on."

Chen Pingsheng sat in the small office of the second store, staring expectantly at the two golden dice.

Not a moment.

I'm really lucky.

The first one is the largest five, and the second one is also a five.

He gets what he wants; he deserves to be rich.

"Congratulations, host, you have received a tenfold random boost."

"Ding, 6.8 million has been deposited into your Alipay account, leaving a balance of 7050000."

Awesome...it's just too awesome!

The full amount is enough to buy the house, but we still need to pay the remaining three million yuan investment from Yang Jiancheng first.

What to do with the remaining four million is the problem!
No hurry, no hurry.

This time, getting a huge tenfold increase was definitely a pleasant surprise.

The recharge promotion at the Dongjie No. 2 store will last for another twenty days.

In these twenty days, even by the most conservative estimate, two million could be deposited.

He will also receive a random boost of one million at that time.

It all depends on how many times you can win.

If it's ten times more...

Even 300 square meters couldn't contain him.

The house must be at least 500 square meters.

The key is that three other stores are having promotions in June, and if you include those, he should have at least ten million in savings by July.

With so much money all at once, Panamera shouldn't have bought secondhand items.

Back home, Chen Pingsheng happily studied the house with Song Yanxi.

Women have absolutely no resistance to houses.

The two watched it from the 8th until the end of the month.

At the very beginning, Song Yanxi was still quite young.

I'm very satisfied with those that are over 100 square meters.

Chen Pingsheng, the war god with a crooked mouth, gave a wicked and cold laugh, saying that he wouldn't even consider anything less than 400 square meters right now.

He was secretly accused of being pretentious by the real estate agents.

Women can really look at houses from the beginning to the end of the year.

In the end, I chose three sets.

“Honey, look at this apartment complex. It’s 260 square meters, fully furnished, facing south, with a great location and excellent view.”

"And this apartment complex, 320 square meters, 7 million yuan for full payment. The price is a bit high, but the renovation is really good."

“And this apartment complex, 480 square meters seems a bit too big, and the price is too high. If our family were to take out a ten-year installment plan, we could barely afford it.”

Chen Pingsheng also went to see the three outfits that Song Yanxi had chosen.

It's possible, but it doesn't meet his requirements.

When it comes to buying a house, either don't buy it at all, or if you do buy one, make sure it's the best.

"Honey, didn't we go look at a small villa?"

"You can pull him down."

If a villa were built in the countryside, it would only cost a few hundred thousand to a million yuan to build.

But if it were placed in the old capital city where land is incredibly expensive, the price would definitely be prohibitive for ordinary people.

The house they were looking at was a two-story villa, over 600 square meters, with two floors and a small yard.

She wouldn't even dare to dream of owning a house like that in Beijing.

Song Yanxi said, "Let's be realistic and just pick one of these three. Forget about the small villa. It costs 15 million in full. Even if you sold me, I wouldn't be worth that much."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you measure my wife with money?"

Chen Pingsheng: "Just trust me. I don't want any of these three. I just want that small villa. It's only a little over ten million. Do you think your husband is short of that little bit of money?"

They said they weren't short of money.

In fact, he simply doesn't have that much money to spare right now.

By the end of May, the recharge promotion at the second store had completely ended.

And he should randomly multiply this accumulated income; I'm really looking forward to it.

Whether you live in an apartment complex or a small villa, it all depends on this wave.
