Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 553 - 350: The Love Story of Adults
Chen Pingsheng suddenly realized.
It’s not so easy for him to spend money at home anymore.
Because there’s nothing lacking.
The only thing that could cost a great deal now is Tengfei New Energy.
In the next three years, at least 25 billion a year is expected to be invested.
Other than that, there are hardly any places that require large expenses.
In the coming years, the emphasis will be on cautious growth, waiting for the real development of Tengfei New Energy and then observing the changes in the economic situation.
Tengying Group has completely retracted funds, entering a conservative development phase.
Similarly, Vanke, the top domestic real estate enterprise, has also declared a long-term strategy to persevere.
Mr. Ma even blatantly said that future house prices will be as cheap as cabbages.
The founder of the takeaway group also declared that it will get tougher year by year.
And countless tycoons, both openly and secretly, are proving with their actions that the economic turning point is about to arrive.
If we don’t keep cash on hand now, there will be big trouble in the future.
Of course, no matter the situation, there are always those who act crazily, Xu Pidai is one of them.
Sun Hongbing is another.
Under such circumstances, not only are businessmen tightening their cash flow, but banks are also tightening credit.
Everything is in preparation for an early winter.
If it’s said so many industries are intensely competing internally, the only one still rapidly rising is the short video industry.
The robust rise of TikTok not only allows young people to achieve financial independence quickly.
But it also poses a significant threat to the traffic giant Tencent.
Knowing that Tencent’s protective moat has always been its overwhelming Internet traffic.
With the launch of QQ and WeChat, no one could compete.
Now, however, young people are spending most of their leisure time watching short videos.
This is something Tencent certainly does not want to see, and of course, they can’t change it.
Internally, Tencent hurriedly launched its own short video platform, Weishi.
Investing money and traffic support on an unimaginably large scale.
Chen Pingsheng also invested three hundred million to set up an internet celebrity team at Weishi.
If it were any ordinary company following in the footsteps of TikTok and Kwai.
He wouldn’t even bother.
But with Tencent personally entering the fray, he definitely has to pay serious attention.
After all, its track record is too strong; the history of taking down predecessors through imitation is numerous.
It’s hard to say this time, but he still threw three hundred million in regardless of the outcome.
It should be said that the impact of short videos is not just on small videos and live streaming; it has completely revolutionized the traditional industries.
Some small companies, if they don’t handle their own short videos well, are doomed to struggle in the future.

Chen Pingsheng already had the vision to tie his companies to the development of short videos; now, they are a step ahead.
...
Mid-September.
Song Yanxi went shopping for the first time after her confinement.
She was pushing a small pram, with the month-old Chen Lu waving his little hands inside.
By her side was her second sister, little fart kid.
Hearing that the child prodigy was going to wear overalls, after learning to shop online, she bought loads of overalls from Pinduoduo.
Chen An’an was different, already ten years old, she was starting to dress with a bit more care.
Still preferring to wear comfortable sportswear.
The family hadn’t been out shopping for a while, and now that they did.
Two adults and three children, plus four to five bodyguards following from both close and afar.
Safety was definitely not a concern.
"Dad, what are we going to buy?"
"That depends on what your mom likes, she’s been home for a month."
Song Yanxi did want to buy some clothes, as all women like shopping, and she was no exception.
Especially after not going out for a whole month.
The top malls in Magic City have all the big brands, and if money is no object, shopping is really enjoyable.
Having bought all the top brands before, the main purpose now is just to shop for what she likes.
Er Piya is particularly narcissistic; she just loves buying clothes.
Chen An’an, on the other hand, looks at everything. She is currently wearing a Richard Mille watch worth over two million.
Her sister doesn’t even know, just thinking it’s an ordinary-looking digital watch.
Chen An’an spent two hundred to buy her a small children’s digital watch, and look how happy it made her.
Laughing joyfully.
She was almost laughing her front teeth off, Er Piya is just that easy to trick.
In front of her sister, she always acts so adorably silly.
As for Song Yanxi, after picking a few outfits and two pairs of shoes, she lost interest in browsing.
When the family was preparing to go home, they ran into Yang Kang and his wife Zhang Cuicui.
After their life improved, they didn’t have peace for too long, fighting every day.
The reason is simple; Zhang Cuicui had once done certain things due to the steep educational expenses of their daughter.
Though Yang Kang knew about it, the grudge still lingered in his heart.
He also tried to forget those bad things and just live a good life from now on.
But being together every day, past grievances always resurface.
Yang Kang always wore a cold face, and Zhang Cuicui also felt uncomfortable.
With constant quarrels, their days were becoming unbearable.
Their only bond was their daughter, Yang Lele.
This was not something Chen Pingsheng could advise on, nor did he have the time to deal with.
Getting a divorce is a simple matter of stamping a seal, but it would greatly hurt Yang Lele.
Unsurprisingly, they still divorced.
The house in Magic City was a gift from Chen Pingsheng; Yang Kang, still having a conscience, gave it all to Zhang Cuicui.
They didn’t fight over the custody of their daughter and shared the responsibility.
It was a typical peaceful divorce.
Divorce used to be rare, nowadays the divorce rate has risen to 40%.
It’s really not surprising anymore.
Chen Pingsheng even joined him for a couple of drinks; many in their circle of classmates were divorced.
There were all sorts of reasons.
Mostly, the reasons were mundane, the initial passion couldn’t withstand the blandness of the years.
Especially the saying, impoverished couples are sorrowful.

In the countryside, it’s better; people fight but make up after a few days.
But in the city, it’s different; divorce is a frequent topic.
Young couples striving to grow old together from holding hands, only those who are married know how hard that is.
Not to mention him, even Gao Hu, after being tame for a while, his true colors are showing again.
His wife, Xiao Danchun, is inherently good-natured, and that very kind of innocent.
But she couldn’t offer him much help in his career, and they aren’t on the same level in terms of insight.
Even sharing the same blanket, they often can’t find common topics.
Gao Hu is not short of money now; he always liked to play around, and his true nature emerged again after Xiao gave birth.
His only rationale is he never brings any women from outside to their home, nor lets Xiao Danchun hear any rumors.
It’s clear their marriage is one where the man is strong and the woman is weak, with Xiao Danchun naively living in her own happy world.
Every time they return to their hometown, because of Gao Hu’s special social status,
She is always the center of attention.
Perhaps out of guilt, Gao Hu treats her parents very well.
Such marriages are most common among the wealthy.
As for Chang Fu and Yang Qian, both are wealthy.
Neither inferior to the other; Yang Qian could always keep Chang Fu’s unruly heart in check.
Song Yanxi actually knows all about these; she often invited them to her home for chats.
Let’s not talk about Xiao Danchun; everyone just keeps her in the dark.
Chen Pingsheng also keeps a tight leash on Gao Hu, preventing him from going too far.
The stability of the enterprise is also inseparable from the marital relationships of these founders.
Many go bankrupt because after becoming wealthy, they no longer want to stick with their original partners.
It all starts from seeking pretty mistresses outside.
