Chapter 287 Spending Money Like Water
Late July, Shanghai.
Changfu and Yang Qian still come to see Yang Kang every day as usual.
They have moved to a small two-bedroom, one-living room apartment near the Bund.
The house is only more than 90 square meters, but the price is more than 10 million.
When someone asks you what happiness is, the greatest happiness for people who don't have a house is definitely to buy a house.
Living in this international metropolis, having such a small home is undoubtedly happy and comfortable.
Zhang Cuicui has almost recovered, and she still made a few home-cooked dishes to entertain Changfu's family.
"Brother didn't come?"
"You expect him to be free, that's not easy."
Changfu said: "He took the executive team of Tengying Group to Hangzhou to discuss cooperation with Teacher Ma."
Teacher Ma in Hangzhou, that can only be that one.
The most famous business figure of this era is also the richest man in China on the surface.
Yang Kang was quite surprised, and so was Yao Anni beside him.
If you are not in the city of Hangzhou, you don't know the boundless influence of Hangzhou Ma or Ali at all.
When the IPO was successfully listed, the whole city of Hangzhou was full of legends about Ali.
All the light billboards on the road were replaced with Big Ali overnight.
One person represents a city, probably Teacher Ma.
"Brother's influence is really getting more and more exaggerated!"
"Yes, there are news about him in the financial news almost every day."
Chang Fu said: "He sold 1.2 billion US dollars of fresh food this time. It seems a lot, but it is not enough to spend. His Tengfei New Energy is an absolute money-making big player. You can't figure out how much money he will invest."
It's really exaggerated.
Yang Kang himself has started a business twice and knows how difficult it is to start a business.
It can only be said that the current situation of Tengying Group is inseparable from Chen Pingsheng's careful consideration since ancient times.
...
Chen Pingsheng brought Tengying's senior management team to learn and visit Ali.
Speaking of entrepreneurial miracles in modern history, Ali is definitely an unavoidable high point.
Many people say that it has monopolized half of the Internet world.
But Chen Pingsheng knew that this was undoubtedly an extremely excellent Internet group.
Taking advantage of this cooperation, he also brought his senior management team to learn something.
When he returned to Shanghai again, it was already late July.
In August, he would go to Hong Kong to attend the CEO class there, and there were many things to do.
But now that he suddenly got such a large sum of money, he naturally had to find a way to spend it reasonably.
If you want to make money, you must first learn how to spend it.
His wife also received a sum of more than 8 billion in cash, after paying the 10% of Tengsheng Fruit.
The couple discussed at home for a night.
Finally, the flow of this money was determined.
At present, only 16 large clubs in Shuiyunjian and Shanghai are not owned by them.
If they all go to negotiate, it is estimated that 2 billion funds can be settled.
In addition, Shuiyunjian plans to recruit 10,000 people in the new recruitment training in September.
The training academy in Beijing cannot absorb such a large number of students at all.
Song Yanxi saw a university that was on sale in Shanghai.
The location is naturally not in the central city, but in the remote JS district.
This university has not enrolled students for two years, and it covers an area of about 1,200 acres.
Song Yanxi plans to use 2.8 billion to acquire the entire university.
Buying a university is equivalent to commercial assets. There is no loss or loss. If she thinks it is worth it, it is worth it.
2.8 billion is just a price negotiated with the local government. Later repairs and renovations are expected to cost more than 200 million.
In total, their family will pay 3 billion for this university.
It is also to further consolidate Shuiyunjian as the first high-end health brand in China.
In addition, another 1 billion will be used to establish a Shuiyunjian learning subsidy fund.
It is also the salary that the 10,000 interns will receive from them in the next two years, as well as activity funds.
Such a high investment is naturally for the further development and expansion of Shuiyunjian.
All in all, it costs about 6 billion.
The remaining money is used to buy storefronts in Guangzhou in advance.
In any case, open four flagship stores there first.
Two in Guangzhou and two in Shenzhen.
Of course, all the storefronts must be purchased by themselves.
He spent money like water, and the main reason he dared to do so was that there would be a Shuiyunjian event at the end of the month in Shanghai.
By then, he could cash out another 700 million or 800 million. It was simply a typical example of spending more and more.
As for Chen Pingsheng himself, he first announced an official investment of 5 billion to enter the field of artificial intelligence.
Mainly unmanned driving.
Then he took out another 10 billion to subsidize the battery, motor and electronic control team research and development fields.
At this point, he almost has the most powerful research and development team in the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing.
The main reason is that he spent a lot of money.
As long as the money is enough, any talent can be recruited.
In total, he has invested 45 billion in this project independently, and Tengfei New Energy has become a key technology startup project supported by Shanghai.
With this money invested, he will not have to spend money on new energy projects in the next year and a half.
It can be said that he has created a period of sufficient funds.
During this period, everyone just needs to focus on promoting the projects in hand.
For example, super factories, ecological parks, and major newly established research laboratories.
Only with sufficient funds can everyone invest in research and development work with peace of mind.
Up to now, Tengying Group has become the largest investor in the new energy field.
This can be said to be exactly the same as the entrepreneurship it has always insisted on.
Relying on maximum investment in the early stage will directly leave the players on this track far behind, and later rely on your own business philosophy and traffic.
Get to first place quickly.
Then there is Yiqi Juechen.
No matter which project you look at carefully, you will find that this is the case.
As long as it is a project invested by Tengying.
Even if he spends 15 billion quickly, he still has more than 3 billion in hand.
Chen Pingsheng took this money and went to Guangzhou to buy a university and build his own Tengying Entertainment College without touching the ground.
Like Shuiyunjian, it will take at least two years to build everything by yourself.
Buy an existing university, spend hundreds of millions on repairs and adjustments, and it will be a new one.
He bought a university covering an area of 1,000 acres in Huadu, Guangzhou for 2.6 billion.
We plan to spend another 300 million to renovate and renovate, and it is not expected that the school will officially open until mid-September.
This is a high-end art school built for rural people. It doesn't matter if the school starts a little later.
The entertainment industry is in murky waters, and it is really going to get to the point where poor people can't get in.
That's not like football. The more you play, the worse you get.
After digesting this super fund, Tengying Group has taken a big step forward visibly.
The first is Tengfei New Energy, which has invested the most.
It has become the largest new energy science and technology innovation project in China, with the largest number of research laboratories.
It has also independently contracted all-round research institutes for batteries, motor electronic control, and artificial intelligence.
Shuiyunjian has become an insurmountable mountain in the high-end beauty and health care industry.
Not only does it independently own the 12-story headquarters building in Magic City, it also owns a 1,200-acre private training headquarters academy.
With this configuration, who else can surpass it?
Not to mention Tengying Entertainment, they directly spent 2.6 billion to buy a university in Guangdong and established Tengying Entertainment's own high-end art school.
The key point is that this university was not invested by Tengying Entertainment itself, but its big boss bought the place and rented it to it at a low price.
As soon as the news came out, the stock price soared.
In just one day, Chen Pingsheng saw the stock price rise.
I made back the money I paid to buy the land.
Just say it's an exaggeration, right?
Tengying Entertainment has also officially become a giant entertainment group with a market value of over 60 billion.
In addition, Tengchao Commercial Management, headquartered in Xiangjiang, has commercial assets of about 34 billion.
Every year, there is a net output of 500-600 million yuan from collecting rent from one's own home.
After a company has reached this point, it is no longer possible to go bankrupt.
After Chen Anan grew up, he was able to lose two million every day.
This is what happened to his family after digesting this asset.
It can be said that no matter which project it is.
With continuous feeding, great progress can be made.
…
The last days of July.
At Big Fart Wa's strong request, Chen Pingsheng took a day off.
Then he drove his family's Riva yacht out to sea for fun, and by the way, he called Yang Kang and Chang Fu's family.
and old classmate Yao Anni.
Yang Kang's daughter is only eight years old this year, just about the same age as Big Fart Baby. One is a natural academic master, and she is someone else's child.
One is a born loser who is good at eating, drinking and having fun.
The two of them were surprisingly able to play together, mainly because Chen Anan taught Yang Xiaole to play the things she knew how to play.
For example, when fishing for sharks in the deep sea, how to eat super large shrimps.
There are also how to play the erhu, and how to drink more than one million red wine with Sprite.
Given the income of Yang Kang's family, Yang Xiaole was still stunned by Chen Anan's deception.
The summer in July is still a bit hot. Even if you turn on the air conditioner and drive in the sea, the feeling of hot summer is still there.
The yacht docked in the Magic City costs around 60 million.
It has already made ordinary families look up to and envy them.
Chen Pingsheng wore big black sunglasses and stared seriously at Chen Anan who was messing around outside.
She had already gone fishing for shrimps, and before she came, she checked out Du Niang’s three essential tips for fishing for sharks in the deep sea.
He was only a dabbler, but he still taught Yang Xiaole how to hold the pole.
"Old Chen, you spend money so aggressively!"
"What's so fierce? You can make money only if you have flowers."
Chen Pingsheng said: "I will go to Xiangjiang next month to attend the CEO class. Some of the classmates in the class are much richer than me, including the founder in that short video you are fooling with now."
"Who is it, Du Hua?"
"Who else could he be?"
Chen Pingsheng said casually: "Kaishou's valuation this year is 25 billion US dollars, and there will definitely be further development in the future. The Internet celebrity live broadcast company I established in Guangdong will be officially launched in September. On September 20th Douyin is officially launched. Let’s see if we can do the same as Xin Teng Live and take the lead in occupying Douyin’s online celebrity sales market.”
Chang Fu laughed at him, "You don't have anyone anymore. I don't know how this Douyin will be even before it's online, so you've got to prepare it in advance. What if it doesn't work and is directly killed by Kuaishou?"
"If it doesn't work, just waste one or two billion, what else can you do!"
Chen Pingsheng said: "If I didn't feel that short videos could occupy a large amount of young users' time, do you think I need to make money through Internet celebrities?"
"It's just a matter of releasing a seed in advance to occupy the short video traffic channel."
"When Douyin is officially launched in September, in addition to sending a group of people to compete for the Internet celebrity track in advance, I will also take out 200 million yuan. Whoever becomes popular quickly will be signed."
"At this stage, I have a lot of industries. I must fight for one or two of those super traffic ports."
The development of Changfu has made him deeply see the future development potential of short videos.
No matter how much he thinks, it is not excessive.
In just half a year, Xinteng Live has cut the profit second only to Tengying Entertainment in the group.
Achieved 1.3 billion net profit.
If it waits until the end of the year, it is estimated that there will be 2.8 billion net profit.
Don't say he didn't expect this number.
No one in the group thought of it, even Tong Zelan, who invested 900 million in it, was stunned.
She bought 30% at a valuation of 3 billion. Now the situation is that Xinteng Live can have a net profit of 3 billion a year.
This is extremely exaggerated.
It doesn't matter whether it is listed or not.
You have to know that among so many companies listed on the A-share market, there are less than 200 companies that can make more than 1 billion in profits a year.
Xinteng Live, which was established less than a year ago, has about 3 billion.
It has more than 3,000 female anchors.
Among them, there are hundreds of fans over a million, and there are 20 fans over 10 million.
It is no exaggeration to say that short videos have half the world.
The main reason is that they developed early. When the short video track was still a group of young people playing, they invested 200 million in it.
They were equipped with luxury cars worth 200 million, and a large number of Internet celebrities with tens of millions of fans quickly emerged.
There is also the trainee competition, a super Internet celebrity delivery station, which can be said to have risen.
Outsiders think it is luck, but insiders think it is inevitable.
When a bunch of young people in the factory were crazy and pretending to show off their wealth on it, Chen Pingsheng, a real super rich man, went in.
The result is the current Xinteng Live.
If he goes up to show off his wealth with his identity, it will definitely be embarrassing.
He is not worthy of his current level at all.
There is no need for that at all. If you want traffic, you need to become an Internet celebrity yourself?
Just spend money to cultivate dozens or hundreds of big Internet celebrities, that's enough.
Therefore, he attaches great importance to the Douyin short video that was officially launched in September.
If necessary, he wants to invest all the traffic resources of Tengying Entertainment.
Yao Anni sat aside and secretly memorized it, and even wanted to take a computer typewriter in her heart.
Write it down word by word.
Go home and review it in depth for another week. There is too much business information in it.
According to this old classmate, he will formally prepare a group of regular Internet celebrities before the platform is launched in September.
Occupy this Internet celebrity track in an organized and disciplined manner in advance.
Not to mention half of the country, at least one-third must be conquered.
Who said that he really has this strength.
Before everyone reacted, he had already prepared both people and money.
Yao Anni just wanted to say that he deserved to make money.
This vision is also unique.
Once Douyin can really rise, then another Xinteng live broadcast will rise on his side.
The double-wing traffic engine can not only make money from Internet celebrities.
And he can also bring the projects within the group to success one by one.
Is this the real reason why Tengying Group wins thousands of miles away?
"By the way..."
Chen Pingsheng asked Yao Anni curiously, "I haven't asked you yet, what exactly do you want?"
To be honest, when he developed Tengying Group to this point.
There is no shortage of smart people around him.
This old classmate, the female academic bully in junior high school, is one of them.
Even though she hasn't put forward her own needs until now, isn't this her smart point?
After doing so many things, she should always want some rewards.
Yao Anni was refreshed, "Brother Chen, I have opened four or five traditional clothing stores in Hangzhou, and also opened a Taobao online. I have been making a little money for these years, but I don't know what to do next."
"You can open five clothing stores in Hangzhou by yourself, which is already very good."
Chen Pingsheng said: "In this era, there are many different opinions on the way out for traditional clothing stores. If you must say, you might as well use your understanding of the traditional clothing field to sell those offline stores, directly find a large warehouse to decorate it like a large clothing factory, give up the traditional offline field, and concentrate on the current online live streaming."
"For a small business, you can only speed up by following the trend."
Undoubtedly, online live streaming will become a major trend in the future.
Especially for this kind of offline traditional stores.
If it doesn't work, it's better to work on Pinxixi than to stay in those clothing stores.
Yao Anni was instantly very energetic, and the little money she made.
In the eyes of ordinary classmates, she is naturally a successful person that everyone envies.
In this person's eyes, it's just a way to support the family.
It has nothing to do with the word success.
Chen Pingsheng thought for a moment and said, "Clothing has been the largest category of online consumption since ancient times. Whether it is the early or late stage of the Internet, this category will never be eliminated, but will only become more and more refined."
"I have my own Tenghui Department Store, which is doing very well in the field of daily casual clothing. If you are willing, I suggest that you can deeply root in the women's clothing sector. If you are short of money, I can also invest 100 million in you."
My old classmate, who is a top student, is undoubtedly very smart.
He definitely wants to do this in the clothing sector.
It would be best if it can be broken down into segments.
It’s only 100 million, what if it happens?
If it fails, it’s just a small goal. It really doesn’t matter.
He also tries his best to only invest in people he knows.
The key is that he believes that the segmented women's clothing market has a bright future.
If short videos really develop to a certain extent.
All his anchors have to go into niche markets.
Only by capturing accurate fans from various channels can you maximize your benefits.
Rely on big brother's rewards to support you?
Does he need someone else's three melons and two dates?
Don't be kidding, he is going for a market segment worth tens or hundreds of billions.
Not those big rockets worth one thousand or two thousand.
Let alone the real super rich, they will definitely not show off their wealth online.
It is even less possible to make money by tipping or bringing goods yourself.
Only a fool would believe that his toothpaste and soap cost 9.9 yuan.
Chen Pingsheng focuses on more than just these two things in the future.
He has also made arrangements for short plays. When Tengying Entertainment Art School officially opens, he will use students there to create and shoot.
This is just the time to recruit sketch editors in large numbers.
Filming is not expected to officially begin until October.
That kind of script can basically be shot with just a few days of investment.
You can't be more stupid.
