Chapter 714: Chapter 522 Turbulence on the Gambling Boat I
Life at sea is quite pleasant.
Sing songs, drink tea, and when there’s nothing else to do, just watch the ocean from the deck.
If you want so excitent, you can take a jet ski out to the sea for so drifting, which is quite a novel experience for everyone in the Old Chen Family.
Especially the kids, they had the most fun.
The older generation is still not used to celebrating the Chinese New Year at sea, so on New Year’s Eve, Chen Pingsheng drove the super yacht back to Xiangjiang.
The whole family celebrated at his luxurious villa on Baijia Dao.
Xiangjiang is not only the most expensive place in Asia in terms of housing prices but also in the whole world.
With a hilltop villa like theirs, they naturally enjoy the freshest air, unlike those living in tiny pigeonhole apartnts who have a completely different experience.
Many relatives were visiting for the first ti, and it coincided with the New Year.
Naturally, New Year’s Eve is a ti for extravagant shopping, but Chen Pingsheng didn’t really want to go.
He rely ntioned that he would foot the bill today, and everyone could buy whatever they needed.
Yang Changwen was delighted, “Brother-in-law, do you have any good property recomndations here in Xiangjiang?”
“You don’t need recomndations here, it all depends on your own spending expectations.”
Yang Changwen really wanted to buy a property in Xiangjiang, but he was reluctant to spend too much.
Mainly because Chen Pingsheng had ntioned before that besides essential housing needs, one should absolutely not expect any appreciation in real estate value.
With that in mind, buying a thousand-feet luxury house, equivalent to a hundred square ters on the Mainland, would be considered quite luxurious.
With his ans, he naturally still wanted to own a big house in Xiangjiang.
The other relatives basically had no such thoughts.
The whole family went shopping together, the only one who didn’t go was Chen An’an.
She didn’t need to buy anything, there was nothing lacking at ho.
Besides, it had been a long ti since she was last in Xiangjiang, and she wanted to visit Fat Madam first.
Chen Pingsheng drove the deep blue Pagani he had bought but never driven.
This car, valued at over thirty million landed price, had been sitting here collecting dust for almost a year.
He himself couldn’t even rember exactly when he bought it.
All he rembered was that he and his wife each bought one.
Chen An’an, sitting in the passenger seat, asked her Dad, “Dad, why do you want to spend the New Year in Xiangjiang?”
“Spending New Year in Magic City involves too many social obligations.”
Chen Pingsheng explained, “Many people would try all ans to bring gifts to our house, and we would also have to visit others. Would you be able to quietly enjoy the New Year at ho then?”
Chen An’an thought it made sense, back when they were in Capital City, her Dad was much busier during the New Year than usual.
He had to visit many places, and now he simply ca to Xiangjiang to avoid these social obligations.
“Dad, do we not need to interact with those people from Capital City anymore?”
“It’s not that we don’t need to, we’re just avoiding this period.”
Chen Pingsheng was always very patient with his daughter.
“Running around during this period often goes unnoticed. After this period, I will take you to visit so of the retired gentlen from Capital City, you should also know about so hidden connections our family has accumulated over the years.”
In this country, business cannot be separated from politics.
It’s just that these dealings are very secretive.
Just like those top-level figures, they wouldn’t easily support soone publicly.
“Dad, is it tough maintaining these connections?”
“It’s not tough. Everything is a form of knowledge. People from different circles think differently. After this New Year, I’ll take you to formally et them. If you want to be a stable business tycoon in the future, just having money without connections will only make you prey to others.”
Chen Pingsheng spoke earnestly; the spoiled brat was soon going to be in middle school.
It was ti to let her know so of the significant figures in the Tengying Group; this was crucial.
The Pagani was still extrely fast, and there wasn’t much speed regulation in Xiangjiang.
In a city rampant with sports cars, a speed limit of 120 was almost aningless.
Fat Madam was still diligently running the restaurant for outsiders, which was like her second ho in Xiangjiang.
She was warm and respected.
Originally, Chen An’an planned to invest in several more restaurants for outsiders in Xiangjiang, but after spending so ti here, she scrapped the idea.
The main reason was that apart from high property prices, gambling was a significant issue trapping outsiders in Xiangjiang.
People here loved gambling too much, often trying their luck at the casino after receiving their paychecks.
Winning a couple hundred thousand would naturally make them happy, but more often, people ended up losing everything.
A single restaurant for outsiders couldn’t change anything.
Chen An’an, forgetting her image, squatted outside, chatting with Fat Madam for a while.
“An’an, your Fat Madam isn’t anyone important, I shouldn’t have you co to see personally.”
“Fat Madam, don’t belittle yourself. My dad always says everyone is equal, and I’m just an ordinary eleven-year-old girl.”
“Your dad has taught you well.”
Fat Madam sighed, “The rich here don’t see us as equals, but An’an, you are different.”
“That’s because my dad has always been teaching .”
Chen An’an happily said, “Youwei couldn’t co to Xiangjiang this ti as she’s busy in Magic City, but my dad bought her a house there. Fat Madam, when you grow old, Youwei will definitely take care of you.”
Fat Madam was deeply touched; she had always been childless.
Growing old was a big concern.
With Shen Youwei’s assurance, she could finally feel sowhat at ease.
“It’s all thanks to your dad that she could buy a house in Magic City; he is really good to her.”
“That’s what he should do.”
Shen Youwei had accompanied her for several years, during which ti she had been quite willful.
Now, she was gradually becoming sensible.
Chen An’an sat there all afternoon and finally waved goodbye to Fat Madam.
Her family still had many elders, and by now, they would have almost finished their shopping.
She couldn’t stay too long.
When she got ho, it was already six in the evening.
Indeed, all the relatives had returned, each carrying bags and bags of items.
Most relatives simply got one or two sets of new clothes as gifts.
Only Yang Changwen, that guy, picked out a Ferrari worth more than seven million for himself.
If there had been more ti, he would have gone to buy a luxury watch as well.
Chen Pingsheng didn’t mind; what was bought was bought, and it was not a lot of money.
As long as they didn’t gamble, everything else was minor.
He had the Filipino maid clean up the rooms. After dinner, everyone pretty much did their own thing.
Yang Changwen couldn’t contain himself and called Yang Kang and Peng Yu out to have fun.
He actually wanted to bring Hu Lin along, but unfortunately, Hu Lin didn’t like going out.
He spent his ti with his wife and kids.
Yang Changwen said he was taking them to gain so experience in Xiangjiang, but sohow, they ended up on a gambling boat.
