The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 45 My Beloved Little Gift
Shuiyunjian Luxury Beauty Salon.

The total investment was around seven million. Song Yanxi knew that this was probably a big gift from her man.

However, she still really wants to run it well.

The dozen or so girls that Zhou Chun brought were mostly from the Southern Province, and they looked very friendly.

Upon their arrival, the first thing they needed to address was their accommodation.

The problem could have been easily solved by renting a house as staff dormitory, but Song Yanxi felt it was unnecessary.

At these housing prices, renting is clearly not as good as buying a house.

After she mentioned it to Chen Pingsheng, he transferred another five million to her.

Buying property now is a sure way to make a profit.

Song Yanxi happily took them to look at houses in the surrounding area, and finally they bought a 260-square-meter, four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in a nearby community as staff dormitory.

At 20,000 yuan per square meter, the full price would be just over five million yuan.

She felt that if the club really didn't do well, the house could offset the losses.

The new house was much better than expected, and the girls Zhou Chun brought were very happy.

In order to further improve his relationship with them, Chen Qi even took the initiative to ask to move in with them.

Song Yanxi thought this was a good idea.

After all, she is the owner of this large club, and running it well is of great significance to Chen Qi.

At least she won't have to take that meager fixed salary every month anymore.

Since there was still some time before the store could open, Song Yanxi simply stayed with them and helped them with the preparations.

……

The National Day holiday has arrived, and the temperature has dropped again.

Chen Pingsheng accumulated another week's worth of income.

"Ding, congratulations host, your accumulated income is 7.32 million. Would you like to activate random multiplication?"

"Turn on."

The recharge promotion is the same as before: it starts off very aggressively but then gradually decreases.

These are all normal phenomena.

After all, most customers have already topped up their accounts at the beginning, and it's no use trying to persuade those who don't want to top up later.

Of the previous 15 million, he gave 12 million to his wife, Song Yanxi, to open a beauty salon.

This money is definitely not needed now.

The first golden die landed on a three, and the second one was surprisingly the smallest number, a two.

Not too disappointed, five times is not bad.

"Congratulations, host, you have received a five-fold random boost."

"Ding, your Alipay account has received 36600000 yuan, and your balance is 39,680,000 yuan."

It's not like he got rich overnight; this amount of money is far from enough to open a superstore he wants.

That's right, he really wants to bring Tengsheng Fruits to bigger supermarkets.

Now that I've made so much money all at once, it would be inappropriate not to reward myself.

Men love cars, and he's no exception.

The family already owns a Panamera coupe, a Navigator seven-seater SUV, and a Bentley two-door convertible sports car.

He felt that what was missing was a true family travel and business vehicle.

Family travel vehicles are usually MPVs, which look like large bread vans.

The interior is quite comfortable; there are two seats in the second row that you can lie down and sleep in.

In the future, he and his wife can take turns driving, and when they get tired or sleepy, they can just sleep. Isn't that better than drinking that kind of beverage?

The third row is also very comfortable.

These cars are best suited for family trips or long-distance driving, with prices ranging from high to low.

The best one is the Mercedes Brabus V-Class.

The 2.0T long-wheelbase luxury version is practically a mobile home.

The price was 2.3 million, and Chen Pingsheng bought it without hesitation.

His wife loves buying houses, while he loves cars.

He clearly preferred this type of vehicle with high practical value to those low-slung sports cars that were less practical.

When we go home for the Chinese New Year, we drive it, and the whole family sits comfortably.

This time, he's finally collected all four models: the Navigator SUV, the Panamera coupe, and the Bentley convertible.

Now I've bought the best Mercedes-Benz MPV, Bravo.

Next time I make money, I'll want to give myself a little gift, but I won't know what to give.

It seems like there are all sorts of them.

Rolls-Royce?

With a balance of less than 100 million, there's absolutely no need to consider it.

He was a little embarrassed to open the fruit after buying it home, since he was just a fruit seller now.

There are only about twenty shops in total.

It's clearly not suitable for him to drive a Rolex yet.

As for Ferraris and Aventadors, I used to brag about them when I was younger.

Once my balance exceeds 100 million, I'm determined to buy one and keep it at home.

He didn't want to think about it for now; the first thing he wanted to do after buying a luxury car was to take his wife, Song Yanxi, for a drive.

Who says only sports cars can be used for cruising? A minivan can do the same.

Song Yanxi's mind is currently focused on two things: real estate speculation and her beauty salon.

After her husband delegated 49% of the shares to the store's management, the store's standards improved significantly.

It's important to understand that for a physical store, the core employees are not the ordinary staff, but the front-line management.

These are the people who can truly determine the fate of a store.

Each of their stores also has a standard management team of three.

The store manager receives the highest percentage, 25%.

The remaining two managers share 24%, meaning that as long as employees work hard, they can basically be promoted to management within six months.

Then enjoy the company's stock options.

This can significantly increase income.

Management has the right to receive bonuses, and employees can be promoted quickly.

This ensures that the company can grow rapidly while still making stable profits.

That way, they won't be running ahead and then collapsing behind.

That would have a very bad impact, mainly because it would severely damage future recharge activities.

Her husband is doing a great job at the fruit supermarket; she doesn't need to manage it much.

She wants to develop her own beauty business and open more than ten beauty salons in Beijing in the future.

Then she can buy any house in the world she wants.

He was excited at the thought of buying a house, waiting for Chen Pingsheng to come over.

Song Yanxi noticed he was driving a black minivan with a license plate starting with "B" and found it rather strange.

Why is this guy so stupid, driving around in a big van?

"Yanxi, come and see."

Chen Pingsheng was very pleased with himself. He had no idea that his wife was so blind as to not recognize that this was the best MPV on the market.

Once she sat down, her bottom swayed, and she seemed quite comfortable.

I also pressed the middle seat adjustment button, which allows me to recline directly and stretch my legs out.

It's just like lying on a big sofa at home.

"Honey, this car is really comfortable."

Song Yanxi said happily, "How did you know I needed a staff car? You even specially delivered one to me. Honey, you're so kind."

Employee car?
What does that mean? This is the most expensive car he's ever bought.

I learned that Shuiyunjian hadn't officially opened yet, and they often had to go out for team building activities together.

All the cars in her house couldn't fit that many people, so when she saw the big van, she naturally assumed it was a staff vehicle her husband had bought.

Chen Pingsheng: "..."

If I told her right now that the big loaf of bread costs over two million, would I be forced to kneel on durians when I get home?

His wife has poor judgment; if he were to do it, he should just say so.

I estimate we'll have to sleep in separate rooms tonight.

Smart men will just pretend to be stupid.
