Chapter 250: Chapter 191 The Great Relocation of Magic City
July 25th.
Tengying Entertainment completed the entire relocation process, and the new headquarters were simply magnificent and vibrant.
Before the relocation was finalized, Chen Pingsheng organized one last massive money-grabbing game for everyone.
The game was simple: each person had a chance to grab cash before entering the new headquarters.
There were ten huge cash boxes, which together contained about twenty million in cash.
The staff would use both hands to grab the money, and whatever they could get was theirs to keep.
The main point was to have fun and feel happy.
At such times, one couldn't help but wish their parents had made their hands bigger.
The best would be to grab it all in one go.
Not only Tengying Entertainment staff, but also those from Tengsheng and Tenghui were free to grab as much as they could.
Everyone from the security guards to secretaries like Bai Xin had a blast playing the game.
However, the most successful grabber turned out to be a security guard who managed to snatch close to ten thousand without dropping a single note.
Tengying grabbed the least, while the other two grabbed more.
Standing in front of the full-length windows of the new headquarters building, overlooking the diverse crowd below, Chen Pingsheng felt like he could conquer the world.
Downstairs.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom quickly approached.
When it came to a halt in front of the company's entrance, the rear door was slowly kicked open by a small chubby leg.
That little chubby leg remained suspended in mid-air for a good thirty seconds.
The main point was to make a cool entrance.
It was clear that this was a little girl.
After getting out of the car, spoiled brat Chen An'an's chubby little behind wobbled noticeably a couple of times.
Chen Pingsheng was speechless at her antics – she was naturally attention-seeking and enjoyed causing a commotion.
The Phantom was purchased by his wife; he personally had a Maybach S680, and didn't really need to order these kinds of top-tier luxury business vehicles anymore.
But his wife didn't have one, so she went out and bought a fully equipped, starry-sky ceiling Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The on-the-road price was 18 million.
Just chump change.
Song Yanxi brought her family to visit; the first floor featured a reception hall with four service desks.
The main inquiries were about appointments!
Or to serve tea and receive clients.
The clients here were either big landlords from Capital City or directors and producers from the entertainment industry.
In any case, their status was anything but simple.
Chen An'an thought no one would recognize her and approached the reception desk to ask, "Big sister, I'm here to see my dad."
"You must be Princess An'an; the President is already waiting for you on the eighteenth floor, you can go straight up," replied the receptionist.
The young lady even helped her access the elevator.
Chen An'an immediately felt bored, but when Song Yanxi called her, the spoiled brat immediately behaved.
Little ones are easier to manage, even though they need to be carried, they are quiet, with big round eyes looking around curiously.
The elevator went directly to the eighteenth floor, leaving Liu Fen completely astonished.
This was her daughter's building, worth a whole billion.
Tsk, tsk—
She really wished she could call all the relatives from Old Liu's Family to come and see.
What's a house? Her family now owned a skyscraper.
Peng Ying was in a similarly shocked state. Knowing her son was wealthy was one thing, but watching him spend a billion on a building was another matter entirely.
The eighteenth floor.
Chen Pingsheng's presidential office was particularly spacious, roughly three hundred square meters.
Behind the office, there was a separate small room where he could rest if he was tired.
The entire decor was elegantly designed; in addition to the essential presidential desk, there was a circular sofa and a large tea table.
"Dad."
Chen Pingsheng ignored the spoiled brat, telling her to go play on the side; he had matters to discuss with his wife.
"Honey, this building is quite impressive, huh?"
Song Yanxi also felt that the place was incredibly grand.
"It's alright, I guess. For now, I've put all three companies together. Eventually, Tengsheng and Tenghui Department Store will grow and they'll need to purchase separate headquarters buildings," explained Chen Pingsheng.
He served them tea, the leaves were Huangshan Maofeng.
Genuine Maofeng comes from the Mount Huang region in Anhui, hence it is also called Huicha. It was created by Xie Yu Tea House during the Qing Dynasty Guangxu Period.
With a slightly curled shape like a sparrow's tongue, green with a hint of yellow, the silver tips conspicuous, it's rightfully named Maofeng.
When brewed, it creates a mist at the top of the cup and has a lingering charm.
The tea is fragrant and expensive, almost 1.7 million per kilogram.
He had bought it just to try something exquisite and see how different it was from the regular tea he used to drink.
The result was that although there was a difference, it wasn't substantial.
The spoiled brat simply waited for the tea to cool a bit before drinking it.
Really, no one else would waste such fine tea.
After a few sips, Song Yanxi put down her cup and said, "Honey, you mentioned investing a billion to open two Water Cloud Space flagship stores in Magic City. Do you think that's feasible?"
"Of course, it's feasible. The locations are all set, one at The Bund and another in the Pudong New Area," Chen Pingsheng said. "The reason I called you here today was to discuss this. Magic City is so prosperous, with rocketing real estate prices. Ten million wouldn't create the luxurious feel we want, that's why I'm planning to invest a billion to start with these two flagship stores there."
A billion was a small matter to Song Yanxi now that she was extremely wealthy.
However, Magic City was a completely new market for Water Cloud Space.
Starting there would be like starting from scratch.
But the advantage was that it would pave the way for next year's big move.
In reality, Water Cloud Space had already developed quite well in Capital City.
The talent and management structure were both well-established.
Heading there now was about expanding into a new market.
As long as they could gain a foothold in Magic City, the earning potential of Water Cloud Space could reach a new level.
Chen Pingsheng's vision for Water Cloud Space was ultra-luxury.
It would only consider entering the markets of the top four first-tier cities; it had no intention whatsoever of expanding into any second-tier cities.
Song Yanxi would definitely need to lead a team to visit there first, and besides, Tong Zelan had invited several local prominent families interested in investing in Magic City's Water Cloud Space.
