The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 44 Luxury Living in the Water and Clouds

They became rich overnight.

He doesn't plan to turn it on every day anymore.

Instead, it happens once every seven days as usual, four times a month, making every day a good day.

He had a string of good news; his sister, Chen Qi, had finally managed to get her former supervisor to come over.

She was a 28-year-old girl. The reason she was considered young was mainly because she was petite and didn't look like the decisive and efficient leader she was.

The saying "you can't judge a book by its cover" has been fully demonstrated by Teacher Ma.

Chen Qi had arranged for her to come over more than a month ago.

According to her, this girl started learning cosmetology at the age of sixteen.

She became a Level A beautician at the age of seventeen, making her a pillar of the shop.

Then, over the next three years, she worked her way up from beautician to consultant, manager, and now she is the manager of a well-known beauty salon in Shacheng.

The annual salary is approximately 300,000.

She had heard Chen Qi say many times that her brother was going to invest in a beauty salon here, and that she would get a 20% stake if she came.

Beauty salons are undoubtedly extremely profitable.

She worked in Shacheng for many years but never received any shares in the store; the boss never gave any shares to employees like her.

She naturally began to consider changing jobs or starting her own business.

It is said that what the ears hear is false and what the eyes see is true.

No matter how eloquently Chen Qi described it, it's not as good as seeing it for yourself.

I came here during my vacation.

"Sister Chun".

"Xiaoqi."

Chen Qi used to be the receptionist at her shop. She was a cheerful and talkative person, and got along well with everyone.

But over the years, she had never heard of her having such a wealthy older brother.

The person who came to pick them up was not Chen Pingsheng, but Song Yanxi, who was more interested in investing in the beauty industry.

She drives a convertible Bentley.

It was Chen Qi who suggested it; the Bentley is stunning at first glance, and it makes you look rich the second time you see it.

Seeing Chen Qi, who came to pick her up, in a convertible Bentley, Zhou Chun no longer doubted the fact that her brother was rich.

"You must be Zhou Chun. I'm Song Yanxi, Xiaoqi's sister-in-law."

Song Yanxi took the initiative to introduce herself, smiling very warmly.

After picking up Zhou Chun and putting her in the passenger seat, she then made Chen Qi squeeze into the back.

That's the downside of this sports car; it's just right for two people, and any more than that and they'll be squeezed into the back.

The rear legroom is also limited; you can barely stretch your legs out.

Song Yanxi was about to call her to eat first, but Chen Qi suggested that they go to her brother's company first.

Let's talk about it after we meet her brother.

She knows Zhou Chun very well. She came from a poor family and worked harder than anyone else after entering society.

If you talk to her about making money, she can stay up for three days and three nights straight.

If you chat with her about random things, she'll only give you a few polite replies.

She has many beauticians under her, and most of them follow her around.

You could say that as long as you win her over, the beauty salon can basically be opened.

Tengsheng Fruit is not like it used to be; now there's a little lion statue at the entrance.

The logo of Tengsheng Group is particularly eye-catching and imposing.

Chen Pingsheng's president's office was still simple and unpretentious, and he didn't try to act like a cultured person by filling it with a bunch of books.

He's okay at learning by watching videos, but he gets sleepy when he tries to read books.

This is a bad thing and needs to be changed.

No matter how many times it's changed, it's still the same.

"elder brother."

Chen Qi pulled Zhou Chun aside and introduced her to him, explaining that she was indeed a high-end beauty salon owner and had seen plenty of wealthy people.

They are not stage-frightened at all.

Chen Pingsheng has always preferred to be straightforward and doesn't mince words.

“My sister has told me about you a few times. Today I’ll take you to see a store that I’m planning to invest in. If you agree, we can sign the contract for that store right away.”

"Brother, how come I didn't know you'd taken care of the shop?" "If you had known, you would have run off to Shacheng right away."

Chen Pingsheng took them downstairs again, this time not in a sports car.

His navigator was parked below.

A seven-seater car worth millions, it's like a mobile sofa.

Chen Qi is still too young and can't handle someone like Zhou Chun.

Just talk about making money with people who want to make money; talking about feelings is just nonsense.

It might work for fooling young people who have just entered the workforce.

The shop he looked at was also in Shijingshan District, called Tianxiangge Luxury Beauty Salon.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that if your family doesn't have hundreds of millions, you'd be embarrassed to even go inside.

The shop is run by a young woman, the kind that is extremely beautiful.

She speaks in a delicate, sweet voice.

She's only 24 years old and usually dresses in a sexy style.

Everyday style with a hook.

Chen Pingsheng had only met her once, and with his professional-level eye for bargains, he was certain that this woman did not come from a wealthy family.

Instead, it's because they have a wealthy patron behind them.

People gave her a credit card for unlimited spending, but she couldn't stand being alone and wanted to start her own business.

As a result, this is the store I opened.

The total investment is eight million, and the area is 1,200 square meters.

This is no longer called a beauty salon, but a high-end beauty club.

It not only has a café for relaxing and chatting, but also a concert hall for afternoon tea.

There's a piano on it, which guests often play.

The entire interior design is antique and elegant, and all eighteen beauty rooms are named after mountains and rivers.

Lying inside and doing nothing gives one a feeling of tranquility and peace.

This is the kind of place that deserves to be called a top-tier luxury beauty salon.

"How about it? If you're willing to bring your team over, you can manage this store. We won't get involved in any specific management matters except for finance."

Chen Pingsheng said, "To be honest, the main reason is that my sister has been working in the beauty industry for several years. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made this kind of investment. Now, it's like fulfilling a dream for her and giving her her own career."

Zhou Chun was speechless with shock this time. The atmosphere of this shop was far superior to that of the one in Shacheng.

It's a world of difference.

If a store like this is run well, it should earn at least four or five million a year.

"Please forgive my bluntness, but a store like this probably requires an investment of more than three million, right?"

She had heard Chen Qi say before that her brother was planning to invest three million yuan in the beauty industry.

Given the size of this store, three million is clearly not enough.

"Three million is just a number. I talked to the female owner about this store. She asked for six million, and she would lose two million to sell it off."

Chen Pingsheng said, "I think six million is acceptable. Besides, my wife likes to get beauty treatments now, and I opened a beauty salon to serve her. As long as she is happy, spending a few million more is no big deal."

"By the way, in addition to this six million, I will also give you one million in working capital for initial marketing and product costs. The total investment will be about seven million."

Zhou Chun agreed almost without hesitation.

I showed her the store and we talked about investment. If you want to make money, you should know that this kind of opportunity doesn't come every day.

Chen Qi was extremely excited, because according to her sister-in-law, she would get a quarter of the shares in the store.

If this is done well, she won't have to rely on her brother anymore.

It's okay to rely on yourself.

As for his wife, Song Yanxi, she must feel really good getting a beauty treatment at home.

It's something to be proud of if you tell others.

Zhou Chun didn't stay in the capital for long; he returned to Shacheng a day later.

When they came again, they brought a total of twelve young girls with them.

All of them are beauticians.

They've all been with her for several years.

Chen Pingsheng quickly signed the contract for Tianxiang Pavilion and officially renamed it Shuiyunjian Luxury Beauty Club.
