Chapter 46: Chapter 45 The Eldest Sister’s Husband Arrived
Water Cloud Space was set to open in mid-October.
Now it was busy with organizing various tools and employee training, as well as pre-opening marketing.
The idle Chen Pingsheng ended up running around with his wife, Song Yanxi.
This month his fruit store had already started to accept recharges, and money would pour in regardless of his attendance.
It was a good ti to learn more about the beauty industry.
At noon, Chen Pingsheng took his newly-bought Bosspeed to treat Zhou Chun and the others to Capital City roast duck.
A dozen people—his sister Chen Qi could bring another car, and that would be enough.
These girls from Southern Province hadn’t really explored Capital City since they had co.
He happened to be free, so he took them all for a tour.
The cultural landmarks of Capital City, such as the Imperial Palace and the Museum, were naturally not to be missed.
On the way there, Chen Qi asked him, “Brother, don’t you also have investnts in the entertainnt industry? Can you take us to see that?”
“What’s so good about watching filming?”
Chen Pingsheng acted the confident old driver:
“If you want to et celebrities, wait until my Tengying Entertainnt opens, then I’ll take you there.”
Chen Qi was surprised. Was her brother planning to start an entertainnt company?
And even venture into the entertainnt industry in the future.
“Bro, how co I didn’t know you had that capability?”
“It’s got nothing to do with my abilities, purely good luck.”
Chen Pingsheng chuckled, “Back then, your sister-in-law and I t a little extra. You know your brother isn’t cultured, but I definitely have a good eye. I felt that girl could beco a big star at a glance, so I also stepped into the entertainnt industry because of her.”
“She’s still shooting films. I’ll introduce you after she’s done with her current project.”
“That’s cool,” Chen Qi giggled, “The biggest star I’ve ever t in my life is Chen Yingjun from our own family.”
“You’ve t him? Not bad.”
Chen Pingsheng boasted, “Once your brother gets a foothold in the entertainnt industry, I’ll take you to et Yang Mi, Liu Shishi.”
These two were very popular at the mont, especially Yang Mi.
Her drama “Palace” aired on Southern Province’s Mango Channel and beca a sensation throughout the region.
Chen Qi was also a big fan.
If they could invite her to Water Cloud Space for a chest treatnt, would their club even need advertising?
That would be an explosive start for sure.
Big-chested Mi wasn’t just a nickna for nothing.
Chen Pingsheng was just casually boasting in front of the girls.
He never expected his wife, Song Yanxi, to light up at the idea.
What silly thoughts was this wife of his entertaining?
If they really could get her to co in for a chest treatnt, who knew how much the advertising would cost?
When they got back to Water Cloud Space, they planned not to go out again.
In a few days, his older sister Chen Yao and her husband would co over, and he definitely had to go pick them up.
Additionally, he needed to help them find a retail space.
His sister’s affairs, of course, required his personal efforts.
Zhou Chun took him for a shoulder and neck treatnt and also for a kidney treatnt.
Don’t misunderstand, this kidney treatnt wasn’t the kind that offered a half-dragon service for 598 outside.
It was a legitimate project aid at improving n’s kidney function.
After testing, he was showing signs of sub-health.
Prone to affect sleep quality and fatigue at night, these were minor issues.
Coming here every so often, improvent could be seen in a few months.
The beauty salon wasn’t just for female clients, it also specifically addressed n’s sub-health.
Anyway, there were loads of benefits.
The only issue was the high consumption cost, like the set Zhou Chun recomnded to him.
Just one session in Sha City would cost over a thousand.
At Water Cloud Space in Capital City, it would sell for at least 2680.
Only the truly wealthy could afford such luxury.
One session wouldn’t show dramatic results, but a set of ten sessions could potentially add about five minutes to a couple’s lovemaking ti.
And we’re talking about a very potent kind of improvent.
That’s the advantage of regular maintenance.
Chen Pingsheng thought investing in this club wasn’t a loss; after all, he could frequent it in the future.
By the 8th of October, just after the National Day holiday,
his elder sister Chen Yao ca over with her husband.
They brought loads of stuff with them, this ti intending not to return.
Her husband had always been a driver in Sha City, first illegally, then for Didi.
Now that they were here, he still planned to get a car and drive for Didi.
If the couple stayed in one shop and there was no business, it would be like eating dirt.
For him, having a car ant having a sense of security.
Chen Pingsheng hadn’t really registered for the internet taxi service software before, his brother-in-law taught him, and he registered an account on his own phone.
When it was ti to choose a car, he thought about it and registered his rcedes-Benz Borui with a “B” in the model na.
He was considering himself a luxury car driver.
His brother-in-law’s car hadn’t been brought over, and the few he had at ho were clearly unsuitable, mainly those with “T” turbocharged engines.
They were too fuel-consuming, which made them cost-inefficient.
Typical drivers for Didi would either have a BYD or a Volkswagen, the “miracle” car.
His brother-in-law also explained to him in detail about the current internet taxi policies.
Mainly, how to maximize subsidies from the platform.
With all kinds of subsidies, his inco could reach more than two thousand a day at its highest.
Which was quite good.
The couple planned to sell the old car they had in Sha City and buy a new Volkswagen around one hundred thousand in Capital City.
Dealing with the license plate was left to him.
Of course, that was no problem.
Once their convenience store was set up, his brother-in-law would still be able to drive regularly.
It was a stable source of inco.
Since the couple didn’t have a house in Capital City, he asked Song Yanxi to buy one nearby.
He bought a house for his younger sister and gave her a car.
He also transferred a quarter of the Water Cloud Space shares to her; naturally, he did the sa for his elder sister.
They bought a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartnt.
One hundred and twenty square ters, located in the Shijingshan district.
The decoration was already complete; after all, Chen Pingsheng was dead set against buying an off-plan property.
They found a convenience store next to his fruit shop, just over one hundred square ters.
The transfer fee was four hundred and eighty thousand with not a penny less.
Chen Pingsheng took over the business and paid a year’s rent in advance.
Without the pressure of rent in the first year, his sister could earn five or six hundred thousand anyway.
After all, the rent for a year was more than three hundred thousand.
After sorting out his sister’s affairs, it was already mid-October.
Water Cloud Space’s grand opening was imminent, but he didn’t attend.
His wife was there to take care of things, and that was enough.
During these few days, a big piece of news ca from the fruit industry, which was rather unfavorable for them.
A fruit chain enterprise in Peng City with a registered capital of over ten million.
After illegally financing over a billion, they just ran off.
The incident had a huge impact.
In a way, that chain’s tactics were sowhat similar to theirs.
In traditional industries like fruit, there are often two ways to quickly obtain financing during operation.
The first is naturally through in-store promotions, such as recharges.
Getting developnt funds directly from custors.
The Peng City chain did exactly that.
They were even more insane than Tengsheng.
Recharge a thousand to get a thirty percent discount on fruit, five thousand to get a fifty percent discount.
There were even more extre offers, like seventy percent off.
Without a doubt, such promotional designs had no intention of sustaining long-term operations from the beginning.
The second is obviously to get funds from wholesalers.
When a business expands, these middlen looking to cooperate often need to put down funds.
That is, to pay in advance for the inventory.
This runaway affected over a hundred thousand mbers and clients in Peng City.
So had just a few hundred in their cards, so a few thousand.
With the boss just walking away like that, the ss left behind was imaginable.
There were also dozens of wholesale fruit rchants, big and small.
So owed a million, others owed tens of millions.
Every day, these people went to the Zhengfu’s doorstep with banners to protest.
The issue beca so heated, it had a profound impact.
He had been invited for several “tea-drinking” sessions with authorities; with that on his mind, how could he have the mood to attend the opening ceremony of Water Cloud Space?
As expected, influenced by this incident,
The finance channels and major news outlets all strongly condemned this kind of illegal private fundraising.
Tengsheng Fruits and Nongguo Garden, among others, were ordered by the Zhengfu authorities to stop all recharge activities on the sa day.
