The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 42 Eldest Sister Chen Yao
After the eldest sister, Chen Yao, arrived, she naturally stayed in their small villa.

There is another empty room on the first floor, right next to Chen Qi's.

This villa isn't very big, but it still feels spacious enough to house a dozen or so people.

When Chen Yao arrived in the Navigator, she was thinking that this car was pretty good. If she used it to drive for Didi, it would definitely be among the luxury cars.

The fees are all significantly higher.

It was a rare occasion for the family to get together, so Song Yanxi cooked for herself, while Chen Pingsheng listened to his older sister talk about some of her own experiences.

At her age, she talks mostly about her children.

For some reason, her two children, who are clearly from the same family, both have exceptional academic talent.

No need for much reminders, his academic performance has always been among the top ten in the whole school.

Chen Pingsheng was quite envious that he had never fallen down.

I almost asked them what they ate and drank every day.

Although Chen An'an is still young, her talent for studying has already begun to show, so it's unlikely that she will rank high.

Getting a middle score depends entirely on the teacher's guidance.

Isn’t this gap too big?

"Hey lady, how did you teach them?"

"I didn't teach her much. I only graduated from elementary school myself, so what could I possibly teach her?"

I'm so envious, I'm genuinely envious.

My eldest sister only graduated from elementary school, and so did her husband.

The two are equally uneducated.

These two people, yet their child has excellent grades. Is this what they mean by "fate, luck, and feng shui"?

Sometimes, you can't help but believe these abstract, unfounded things.

The eldest sister herself didn't have much experience, and besides, her two children were only in elementary school.

There's also junior high, high school, and university.

Only those who excel in high school and get into a good university can be considered truly gifted in learning.

"Brother, one isn't enough for you, is it?"

"I definitely want to have another one this year."

Since the main account's talent is already like this, the only thing to do is try to create another alt account to save face.

Song Yanxi cooks very quickly; it was just a few days ago, around September 15th, when the bonuses were distributed.

She received the lowest number of assignments in six months.

All the stores combined only brought her 130,000 yuan.

This was partly due to the opening of the Shijingshan store, but more importantly, her husband gave up half of his dividend shares.

Income really did drop by half.

However, while they were missing out, the employees were extremely excited.

The company really did pay more than double the salary.

With all the dividends and bonuses, my monthly income is now about the same as what I used to earn in two and a half months.

The happiness of her employees helped her understand things a little better.

She can only make up for the losses here by speculating on real estate.

After more than a month of speculating on real estate, she has indeed developed a set of business acumen in real estate speculation.

Now, when we eat, I tell my older sister Chen Yao about her philosophy.

Chen Pingsheng felt that she was disregarding the actual situation. What if her older sister had the means to speculate on real estate in Beijing?

Why would anyone need to travel all the way from Shacheng to seek refuge with him?

"Yanxi, are you addicted to buying houses?"

“Wrong.” Song Yanxi retorted righteously, “I’m addicted to making money, don’t you know, big sister? Last month I bought a 200-square-meter apartment in the East District of the Second Ring Road. It cost 41,000 yuan per square meter when I bought it. In just a short time, the price of apartments in that neighborhood has increased by more than 1,000 yuan. I made 30,000 to 40,000 yuan while lying at home.”

“Our family will be having a big recharge event in October, and we estimate we can get several million in November. I’ll definitely go there to speculate on real estate then.”

Chen Qi said, "Sister-in-law, it's people like you who have driven up housing prices."

"You don't understand, do you?" Song Yanxi retorted, "What are we compared to those big companies? Go check out those big companies. They don't do a very good job in their legitimate business, but they're all incredibly aggressive in real estate speculation."

The widespread speculation in real estate has never been driven by genuine housing needs.

Instead, it's people like them who no longer need to buy a house that are frantically speculating.

It's a financial product, and everyone with the ability and resources is participating in this relay race.

The only ones who are truly unlucky are those who buy a house and honestly pay off their mortgage.

Even worse are those who bought at the top of the mountain.

After the meal, Chen Yao deeply felt the vast difference between herself and her sister-in-law.

This wasn't something Song Yanxi did intentionally; it's just that when the gap becomes too obvious, even casual topics can evoke such feelings.

For Chen Yao, earning a stable income of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per month would be quite good.

For Song Yanxi now, ten or twenty thousand is nothing.
She probably doesn't even know how to earn that ten or twenty thousand yuan legitimately anymore.

All they know is that if you just buy a house, its value can increase by tens of thousands in a month.

Therefore, she was also seriously sharing her experience in making money.

Chen Pingsheng saw things clearly; if his eldest sister really wanted to stay in Beijing to develop her career, he would naturally make arrangements.

If he were to return to Shacheng, he would at least give him a house.

The reason we don't give away cars is because for most families, a car is a consumable item.

You can use it.

What's the point of talking about comfort?

The younger sister, Chen Qi, is different. She has her own goals and is single-mindedly focused on recruiting people to open a beauty salon.

Once the beauty salon opens, her income will definitely be high.

In the afternoon, Song Yanxi drove her Panamera and took her older sister to explore Beijing.

The difference between a capital city and the capital of a province is naturally quite obvious.

This is most clearly reflected in housing prices.

Chen Pingsheng has already decided to give the small apartment within the Third Ring Road to Chen Qi.

This was also the last big gift he, as the older brother, would give to his younger sister.

This solved my younger sister's car and house problem in Beijing, so her future quality of life won't be too bad.

The reason it's considered small is because it's compared to my own villa.

Song Yanxi also took her older sister Chen Yao to see the house in person; it was also fully furnished.

With housing prices so high in Beijing, these homeowners certainly wouldn't buy a house and then hastily renovate it.

The apartment is 80 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a large balcony. It is fully furnished with appliances and exquisitely decorated.

Chen Qi can move in anytime she wants.

She's not this good to her own sister.

A house worth millions is given away for free, and the key is that the house price is still rising sharply. It might be worth ten million in the future.

Less than six months after arriving in Beijing, Chen Qi inexplicably had everything.

Therefore, she also really hoped that her eldest sister's family could come over.

It's definitely more promising here than paying off a mortgage in Shacheng.

The Third Ring Road is already close to the center of Beijing.

The bustling and chaotic atmosphere is dazzling, with various high-end office buildings and large enterprises gathering there.

Currently, Tengsheng Group is only located within the Fourth Ring Road.

At this rate of development, they will eventually break into the Third Ring Road.

Some even dream of owning their own headquarters building within the Third Ring Road.

That would truly bring glory to one's ancestors.

It's the kind of thing that anyone could brag about.

Chen Qi felt that this day was very likely, but Song Yanxi hadn't thought about it.

Her main idea was to package an entire residential complex.

However, the eldest sister, Chen Yaoxin, was already wavering, even if she didn't consider herself, she had to think about the two children in the family.

The educational resources in Beijing are far superior to those in Shacheng.

That's a huge gap.
