The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

A few days before the Lunar New Year, Jinshan Villa was also preparing to celebrate the Spring Festival in a joyous atmosphere.

Michelle Chen even prepared two new outfits for Chen Pingsheng: a black leather jacket worth over a million yuan and a limited-edition Patek Philippe watch worth 1.2 million yuan.

Although I've bought quite a few watches over the years, this is the first one that costs over 100 million.

Wearing new clothes for the New Year means you have to put everything together anew.

The luxury apparel and department store exhibition hall on the third floor has also been completely restocked with new merchandise.

Unlike her sister, Erpiya doesn't go to other places to play. She stays in Shanghai and is quite comfortable there.

The family is always lively and cheerful.

Chen An'an was different; she went on a spontaneous Spring Festival trip with her junior high school classmates Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao.

The days leading up to the Lunar New Year are the peak season for travel between the north and south. Migrant workers return home, and many rural parents travel to the city to reunite with their children for the New Year.

These are the days I look forward to most after a year of work, and of course, these are also the days when I spend the most money.

Chen An'an traveled on a private plane, having applied for the flight route in advance, and was required to land in Sichuan during a specific time period.

Her first stop on her trip was Shen Youwei's hometown.

Sichuan has been known as a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery since ancient times, and has been dubbed the hometown of beautiful women by countless netizens.

Chen An'an got off the plane on January 18th, just four days before the Chinese New Year.

She wanted to follow the advice in the book: "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."

In ancient times, the most common mode of transportation was riding a horse.

She traveled by private jet, so this "ten thousand miles" should be changed to "ten thousand cities".

Their family also owns many businesses in Sichuan, the largest of which is Tengnong Livestock.

Secondly, there is Tengfei New Energy's super processing plant and several R&D centers.

The Spring Festival is a time of cold weather.

The moment An'an stepped off the plane, she was overjoyed. She wanted to spend a lot of time traveling around the world every year from now on.

"An'an, have we arrived in Chengdu?"

"Yes, we've arrived."

"I used to see a lot of videos about Chengdu Taikoo Li online, I didn't expect it to come so soon."

Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao were also quite happy. The three of them made an appointment to visit Sichuan, and their first stop was Chengdu Taikoo Li.

This is also the most prosperous location in the entire Sichuan province.

Taikoo Li has become incredibly popular online in recent years, known as a luxury street with all sorts of designer brands, and the people there are known for their trendy fashion sense.

It has also been made famous by many online celebrities.

This was Chen An'an's first time in Chengdu, and the people who came to pick her up were Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying.

The two went back to their hometown during the holiday. They were quite happy to learn that the young lady was going to travel here before the new year.

He even specially introduced her to a lot of travel tips.

Shen Youwei is a low-key person; back in her hometown, she only drives an Audi A6.

Zhao Yingying drives a Porsche Panamera.

The two have been by Chen An'an's side for so many years and are now the right-hand men of Anle Group, so they will never lack money.

They own houses in both Shanghai and Hong Kong, so they lack nothing materially.

"An'an."

"Sister Youwei, Sister Yingying."

Chen An'an has her own private car for transportation, and her mother, Yanxi, also asked her for a travel guide in advance.

Knowing roughly where she would be going, everything had already been arranged. The limousine that would pick her up was a top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce Phantom, and the three bodyguard vehicles were all Range Rover Royal Ones.

From Sichuan onwards, she will no longer take airplanes, but will instead travel by car to explore the area.

On the first day, Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying took her to Taikoo Li, a century-old street that is very famous in the short video industry.

It's considered the pinnacle of trendy shopping streets; after her family bought Wanda Plaza, they also started operating this kind of commercial street.

Chen An'an is different from before. Chengdu is an unfamiliar place to her, and shopping doesn't mean anything to her anymore.

She was surrounded by seven or eight bodyguards, and despite the cold temperature, a large group of online celebrities were still filming short videos there.

They all have a team with them.

Chen An'an doesn't need to pay for anything she wants to buy; someone will swipe her card for her.

This is what it means for a young lady to arrive.

I'll also visit top luxury stores, and if I see a decent watch boutique, I'll buy it and give it to my friends.

Luxury stores do not allow the filming of short videos, let alone live streaming by online celebrities.

That's a clear downgrade.

However, some people still secretly take out their phones to take pictures, including a girl in her early twenties with a high ponytail.

She also aspires to become an internet celebrity and a luxury goods store visitor, to see who exactly are the people who can casually afford a bag worth hundreds of thousands and a watch worth millions.

It has to be said that these kinds of videos often get a lot of views.

People who can truly afford these things would never allow others to film them, much less put them in short videos and be pointed at and gossiped about.

Chen An'an was accidentally photographed by this girl, mainly because she was unusually bold despite her young age.

He doesn't look at the price when buying watches; once he likes a style, he'll buy one in any color.

She even lets her friends choose whatever they want; that's definitely the behavior of a spoiled rich girl.

She was indeed a young lady from a wealthy family. After the bodyguard discovered this, he immediately snatched the girl's phone and demanded that she delete the secretly filmed videos on her phone right away.

Even the female shop assistants weren't very polite to her. If the video were to leak out, they would all be held responsible and might even be fired.

This isn't the first time this girl has encountered something like this. Taking photos without permission is definitely not allowed. If you get caught, just delete the photos. There's no need to argue with people.

She couldn't win even if she wanted to.

This was just a minor incident that happened while she was shopping. After she left, there were still many street style enthusiasts outside.

All sorts of strange and unusual costumes are constantly emerging.

Most of them are young people who want to become internet celebrities, but this kind of behavior is clearly not allowed in Nanjing Street, Shanghai.

Chen An'an strolled around, learning about Chengdu's culture and its outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

If you're rich enough, what's it like to travel?
Just look at her; Chen An'an doesn't need to stay in a hotel at all after she came here.

Instead, her mother had specially arranged for her a villa in Lihu Eco-City, which is surrounded by water on three sides.

The way people go home here is quite unique; every family is either rich or noble, and every household has its own private yacht marina.

The yacht isn't big; it's just a small yacht that costs around 70 or 80 million.

As for the family's private nannies, four or five had already been arranged so that she could move in as soon as she arrived.

You don't have to worry about anything.

Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying weren't surprised at all; it seemed like this was the kind of treatment Chen An'an was entitled to when she went out.

No matter how good the hotel is, it's not as comfortable as staying at home, let alone staying in Lihu Eco-City.
