A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Electronic Arts Corporation.

After testing Electronic Arts' FC game console, Chen Wenhai remarked with a sigh, "Now it seems that the Atari 2600's audio-visual performance is extremely poor."

He had mixed feelings, after all, the Atari 2600 game console he founded had been a bestseller in Europe and America for seven years, establishing him as the world's largest game company.

Chen Wenying stated, "The Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System) is primarily red and white, using a Ricoh 6502 chip as its CPU with a clock speed of 1.8MHz. Its graphics feature a total of 52 colors, with a maximum of 13 colors displayed on the screen simultaneously. The sound system includes mono, two square wave, one triangle wave, one noise source, and one PCM synthesized sound source. Accessories include a mahjong joystick, a jumping platform, a light gun, an inflatable motorcycle, a whack-a-mole joystick, a keyboard, a Bandai barcode scanner, and a 2.8-inch disk drive. It's safe to say that once we release the Famicom, no company can surpass us for at least a year."

Chen Wenhai nodded and said, "Let alone a year, Atari might not even be able to surpass it in a year and a half. It seems that my decision to come here for inspection was correct. After I go back, I will have to release the news and sell Atari as a package deal."

Chen Wenying quickly replied, "Don't worry, Brother Ba, we won't be launching in the US until at least June next year. After all, the Famicom needs to dominate the Japanese market first."

Chen Wenhai said confidently, "Don't worry about that. After all, Atari is very popular and there's no shortage of buyers."

Subsequently, Chen Wenying took Chen Wenhai to inspect the office building of Nippon Electronic Arts Co., Ltd.

Chen Wenhai, however, had already let go of his worries and was no longer disappointed. After all, his father had told him years ago that one day the Japanese game console industry would defeat the American game console industry, just as it had done in the television, electronics, and automobile sectors. What he needed to do was seize this opportunity to cash out and then use the funds to develop into a high-tech investor.

To date, Chen Wenhai has invested in a number of technology companies, including Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle, and was an angel investor in Apple.

5 month.

On a Boeing 747 taking off from Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, Chan Kwong-leung was holding Deborah and Kwan Ka-wai on his left and right arms respectively.

Diborah wore a striped dress with black stockings, looking alluring; while Guan Jiahui wore a pink halter dress, stunningly beautiful with a hint of desire, her skin was simply too tempting.

Perhaps because of the fact that Dipola, the matchmaker, also maintained a close relationship with her uncle, Guan Jiahui's possessiveness immediately surfaced, and she lay directly in Chen Guangliang's arms.

"Uncle, am I prettier or is Deborah prettier?"

Good grief, you're just kicking me while I'm down. Deborah was your introducer, after all.

Dipola laughed and said, "Of course you're prettier, so don't make things difficult for your uncle!"

After saying that, he winked at Chen Guangliang, as if to say, "How was my performance?"

Chen Guangliang said with a smile, "Jia Hui is indeed prettier, but Min Yi is sexier."

"Ugh, Uncle, you're so cunning!" Guan Jiahui knew when to stop and didn't continue being unreasonable.

If her uncle hadn't been the renowned Sir Chan Kwong-leung of Hong Kong, she would naturally have been even more unreasonable, and might even have dared to call the official wife.

But her uncle happened to be Chen Guangliang, so she didn't dare to do anything reckless and could only obediently follow Chen Guangliang.

After some lighthearted banter, flight attendant Masako and her colleagues served delicious snacks and fine wines like Latour.

Looking at so many beautiful flight attendants, Guan Jiahui couldn't help but feel a little jealous again. This man really is like an emperor!

In particular, the fact that flight attendants like Masako wore black stockings clearly indicates this man's preference, further confirming the allegations.

"Uncle, are they yours?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Guangliang gave Guan Jiahui a hard slap on the buttocks and said, "Don't talk nonsense. As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. Although they are beautiful, they are my trusted colleagues."

Masako seemed to understand what Guan Jiahui was saying and gave her a kind smile. In terms of words and actions, Masako was far superior to Guan Jiahui.

However, under Chan Kwong-leung's guidance, Kwan Ka-wai did not follow the path of a delinquent girl, but instead took the path of an "upper-class woman".

Afterwards, along with Masako, the four of them played mahjong in the second-floor entertainment room.

Chen Guangliang doesn't usually play mahjong or cards, but it's a way to pass the time on a plane.

"Sir Chan, I sold my Hong Kong residences and properties last year and have the money in hand."

"At the card table," Dibora said coquettishly.

She was with Chen Guangliang partly to become a "rich woman," and partly to enjoy being dominated by him. As for marriage, she wasn't in a hurry; she believed Chen Guangliang wouldn't support her forever, and she'd think about it later.

"Money can't be hot to handle. I remember you're worth 5000 million!"

Guan Jiahui's eyes lit up. Her current assets consisted only of the villa in Stanley, plus some jewelry and luxury goods; she had not received any other benefits.

Dipola smiled and said, "It's not a hot potato, but I still want to ask you about investing. Hong Kong property prices have fallen quite a bit in the last six months!"

Chen Guangliang felt that Dibora's beautiful feet in stockings were tempting him under the card table.

He was certainly not the kind of man who would be swayed by a woman's appearance. He said, "Invest in US dollars, deposit them in the bank, and wait for the right opportunity."

Deborah, a seasoned investor, quickly replied, "Thank you, Sir Chen."

The more she looked at this man, the more itchy she became, wishing she could stick to him and never leave. But she was keenly aware that Guan Jia Hui was the most favored, so she couldn't embarrass Sir Chen.

Sure enough, Kwan Ka-wai said, "Uncle, you're being unfair!"

"Haha," Chen Guangliang grabbed Guan Jiahui's tank top and said, "Don't worry, I'm still the most biased towards you!"

Guan Jiahui blushed, but did not resist, and said, "Then I want to be the boss, the boss of this lover!"

She quickly added that she had given up on the idea of ​​becoming the official wife, because she was worried that Yan Renmei's four sons and one daughter could make her disappear.

"Boss, you're the boss today!"

Before long, Guan Jiahui realized that being the boss wasn't so easy, as the man roughly pressed her down onto the mahjong table.

The plane has been traveling across the Pacific Ocean for half the time.

Chen Guangliang looked at the sleeping Guan Jiahui and Dibola and smiled. He was finally beginning to enjoy the two beauties of Hong Kong.

I left the bedroom, intending to get something to eat.

"Masako"

Masako, standing at the door, had a flushed face; it seemed she had been eavesdropping outside. Of course, this wasn't a problem. These flight attendants were called 'private flight attendants,' and naturally they were involved in their employers' private lives, though they maintained a certain distance.

Just like Chen Guangliang's female bodyguards and assistants, they have seen a lot of the world, but they also have professional ethics.

"Mr. Chen, I want to resign!"

Chen Guangliang was somewhat surprised. Yazi was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and had only been a private flight attendant for four years. Logically speaking, she had not yet earned enough dowry money.

"You have a boyfriend?"

Needless to say, she wouldn't bring it up unless she had a boyfriend. "There's a man who's been pursuing me, but I haven't made up my mind yet!"

Chen Guangliang said, "Go prepare some food for me, and then I'll give you some ideas!"

"Ok"

Before long, Chen Guangliang was enjoying steak, lobster, and red wine while listening to Yazi's explanation of the situation in English.

It turns out that a wealthy Japanese man in his thirties is pursuing Masako and even hopes to marry her. Masako hasn't told him that she's a private flight attendant, fearing misunderstandings.

"for money?"

Masako quickly replied, "Not entirely! I think he genuinely wants to marry me, which is why he has this idea. But I'm also worried about whether he's sincere enough. Of course, his good qualities are also a factor."

She knelt before Chen Guangliang, cutting steak for her master.

Chen Guangliang, slightly intoxicated, looked at Yako, whose appearance was quite sweet and possessed the 'submissiveness' of a Japanese woman. He reached out and slowly unbuttoned Yako's flight attendant uniform.

Masako did not resist and continued to feed Chen Guangliang.

quickly,

"Yako, I want you to be my flight attendant for life!"

Masako smiled happily and said, "Mr. Chen, I do."

When Masako was injured and bleeding, Chen Guangliang was surprised, but then he thought it was normal, since most people in this era were very innocent.

Damn Japanese, they've made money off him again.

The reason he changed his mind and tried to keep Masako was because he couldn't bear to give up the regular service she provided as a flight attendant. Among the six flight attendants, Masako was the most meticulous and the one Chen Guangliang was most satisfied with.

Sometimes, men aren't all lustful; it's just that the allure of a gentle, loving relationship is truly irresistible.

After getting off the plane, Chen Guangliang spent three days in New York with Deborah and Guan Jiahui before sending them away – HK$20 each – and then they went shopping before returning to Hong Kong on their own.

Later, Chen Guangliang arrived at the villa on Long Island and reunited with his second wife's family.

Jiang Meiying still retains her charm. At the age of 67, she has not yet stopped menstruating. This is due to genetic changes. Her physical age looks only 40. She is a top-quality mature woman.

Of course, even the finest delicacies aren't anything special for Chen Guangliang, who's been enjoying them for almost fifty years. And as an old married couple, they might occasionally spend a little later to rekindle the passion.

But more than anything, it's about family!
The two families reunited, and Chen Leyi and Tang Wensheng naturally returned happily with their children. Chen Leyi had given birth to two sons and a daughter for Tang Wensheng. She insisted that her youngest son take the surname Chen, even though Chen Guangliang tried to persuade her.

At the time, Chen Leyi stated that even if her father did not acknowledge this "grandson," she would still recognize him as the only son who founded the Chen family business. The implication was that she was not only Tang Wensheng's wife but also the founder of the Chen family business from its inception.

Ambition is not something that only Wu Zetian had; Chen Leyi also has it, and she remains the chairman of the board of Amgen Biopharmaceuticals.

"Dad, I plan to develop a commercial building complex in Battery Park City in Lower Manhattan, New York, bordering the World Trade Center to the east and the Hudson River to the west, and name it 'World Financial Center'," said Chen Wenjin, the eldest son of the second wife, with great ambition.

The Amazon Group, which he heads, is the world’s largest commercial real estate company, with three major brands: Amazon Shopping Center, Starwood Hotels & Resorts (Sheraton and Ritz-Carlton), and Amazon Commercial Properties Management.

Amazon Commercial Realty Management, for example, acquired eight skyscrapers in Manhattan at bargain prices years ago, and their value has now doubled, with rents rising significantly. This deal earned Chen Wenjin considerable praise.

When this project was mentioned, Chen Guangliang's first thought was 9/11, but he quickly realized: First, 9/11 refers to the World Trade Center, while the World Financial Center was only slightly affected and did not suffer much damage; second, 9/11 happened after the millennium, that is, after the bursting of the dot-com bubble.

Therefore, Manhattan office buildings from the 1980s and 1990s had very high investment value.

"Well, you decide. But I need to remind you that Starwood Hotels & Resorts only has two high-end hotel brands and lacks a mid-to-low-end hotel portfolio."

Chen Wenjin immediately nodded and said, "That's right. The only way for the hotel industry to develop is to integrate resources, reduce management costs, and expand more channels. However, I believe that Starwood Hotels' IPO to raise funds and then seeking acquisitions will maximize its expansion speed."

"Sure, going public is fine too. Our Chen family has already made a well-established plan, and the third generation has grown up. Being a bit high-profile is fine."

At this time, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, under its Sheraton brand, already had over 150 directly operated and franchised five-star hotels, making it a leader in the high-end segment. As for the Ritz-Carlton, all its hotels were directly operated, representing high-end luxury. It had already entered Singapore and Japan, with a total of 11 locations worldwide, but there was no suitable opportunity in Hong Kong yet.

If it goes public, it can raise a large amount of funds.

Chen Wenjin said happily, "It's Father. By the way, regarding Starwood's next move, once it goes public, we will seek to acquire mid-range hotel companies."

Chen Guangliang nodded and said, "For example, Holiday Inn. We can first acquire the overseas brand rights of Holiday Inn, and then acquire the entire Holiday Inn when the time is right."

Chen Wenjin's eyes lit up, and she said, "Okay, I'll remember Father's words!"

Seeing that their father had enlightened their second brother with just a few words, everyone admired their father even more, seeing him as their 'strong support' forever.

Chen Leyi quickly reported on Amgen Biopharmaceuticals' situation. In recent years, Amgen Biopharmaceuticals has entered the ranks of large pharmaceutical companies in the United States thanks to the success of sildenafil tablets and another new drug.

Moreover, Amgen Biopharmaceuticals has not stagnated, but continues to develop new drugs and support multiple projects, showing a strong momentum to compete with those century-old pharmaceutical companies.

Of course, Chen Guangliang does not expect Amgen Biopharmaceuticals to surpass century-old giants such as Johnson & Johnson, Wyeth, and Pfizer, but it should at least be among the world's top ten pharmaceutical companies.

As of now, there seem to be no problems!

"Yes, investing heavily in research and development of new drugs to benefit humanity is the mission of pharmaceutical companies. Of course, only by ensuring sufficient profits can a company stand firm."

Developing a new drug often requires hundreds of millions or even billions of US dollars in research and development costs, and the time required is often more than ten or even twenty years; without huge profits, how can we promote the progress of human biopharmaceuticals?

Of course, Chen Guangliang was looking at the issue from a capitalist's perspective. If it were his previous life, he would definitely criticize pharmaceutical companies for being driven by excessive profits, while the pharmaceutical companies on the other side wouldn't even have the right to criticize them.

A look at the major pharmaceutical giants in the United States reveals their enormous contributions to human health. Many diseases are inherently fatal, but thanks to the advancements in modern medicine and pharmaceuticals, these lives have been saved.

Next, Chen Wenhua reported on his work. His business is divided into two parts. One part is the company Madison, which invests in a large number of high-quality companies and even gets involved in their operations. The other part is his personal investment, which is investing in some securities, simply value investing.

There's not much to say. For Chen Guangliang, the wealth created by Buffett was no challenge at all; similarly, Chen Wenhua earned it even more easily than Buffett.

Finally, Chen Wenhai said, "Father, IBM has contacted me. They want to acquire Atari for $10 billion. I think that price is good enough, and we can't delay any longer!"

This price is pretty good; if it had been any later, Atari would have lost money.

“Okay, let’s sell it quickly. What are your plans after that?” Chen Wenhai said, “To become a venture capitalist for a technology company and step back from the limelight.”

This was his father's arrangement, and he accepted it gladly.

Chen Guangliang was relieved. The second branch of the family should also step back from the limelight. Although they were already quite scattered, and the third generation of the second branch already numbered more than a dozen, the eldest, Chen Zekang, was already 21 years old.

After some arrangements, the second wife's situation is basically settled. Their future wealth is likely to be enormous, given their control over the vast country of the United States. (End of Chapter)
