Chapter 259: Chapter 195: Return to the Capital
Bai Xin had been to Magic City before, but it had never been this leisurely and carefree.
Just think, the scenic beauty of The Bund and Huangpu River is right downstairs.
And here you are on this huge balcony, comfortably lying on a lazy sofa that costs hundreds of thousands.
Incidentally, taking a couple of sips of tea that costs a million a pound.
What the tea tastes like isn't important.
Whether the lazy sofa worth hundreds of thousands is comfortable isn't important either.
The key is the feeling.
It just feels awesome.
"Bai Xin, the tea has gotten cold and you didn't even bother to reheat it."
That sentence snapped Bai Xin back to reality from her daydreaming.
She's just a secretary, after all, and she had to serve diligently.
Otherwise, how could she live up to her monthly salary of several hundred thousand?
Not to mention, by staying by the uncle's side, she drinks tea worth millions, sits in the top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce, and enjoys views that are the best in Magic City.
Chen Pingsheng felt that the biggest advantage of this house was right here.
The height of the twelfth floor was just perfect, not too high or low, even mosquitoes couldn't reach.
"Uncle, the tea is ready."
Chen Pingsheng took a sip of the tea, savoring it. People in middle age do like their tea.
With the enhancement to his body provided by the Golden Finger Grandpa, he didn't even need to add goji berries to keep his wife howling in bed.
It seemed like he was at the pinnacle of life.
But still.
Fantasy is fantasy, and reality needs to be realistic.
He still needed to work hard to make money.
Otherwise, how could he lead his whole family in a life of eating, drinking, playing, and being carefree?
He had just arrived in Magic City and had already spent over thirty million on a few cars.
He had the money for the coffee business, but the team hadn't even started looking yet.
This didn't stop him from gathering shareholders first.
Like the strategy he used with Bobo Milk Tea, he would secure his core shareholders first.
Currently, he held 60% of the shares.
He planned to offer another 20% to attract core shareholders.
Yang Mi, who was good at marketing, was definitely one to consider, even though her temperament wasn't that great, and she could be quite capricious at times.
But when it comes to marketing, she really knew her stuff.
Chen Pingsheng took out his phone and sent her a message.
"Yang Mi, I'm planning to get into the coffee business. Do you want to invest?"
"Of course, Chen Pingsheng, where are you?"
"In Magic City!"
"...…"
Yang Mi was angry, "Send me your location within three seconds, I'm coming to find you."
She was also in Magic City?
Chen Pingsheng felt that was pretty normal. Compared to Capital City, Yang Mi clearly spent more time here.
Chen Pingsheng sent her his location along with his room number.
When Yang Mi checked, she didn't expect to be so close to him.
Right in front of her eyes.
She drove a red Ferrari 812 which, with a price tag of around six million, looked extremely stylish.
At The Bund, where there was no shortage of luxury cars, a Ferrari was not a big deal.
Only something like a LaFerrari would be considered a truly top-tier supercar.
She even considered rewarding herself with one.
All the way to the underground parking, when Yang Mi arrived at the door, she was surprised to find that the place was just a small residence, hardly even qualifying as a large flat.
It was quite unexpected.
Even though the decor wasn't bad, she always felt these smaller homes didn't quite suit the extravagant and wasteful Chen Tengteng.
Yang Mi sat down beside him and, as if possessed, started to massage him voluntarily; her slender fingers exerted just the right amount of pressure.
Chen Pingsheng thought that if she went into the massage business, she would do very well.
She would surely have a lot of regular customers.
"Chen Pingsheng, why did you suddenly decide to open a coffee shop?"
"It's not really sudden. I've had the idea for a while. I even did some research for over a month. I'm asking you because I want to know how many shares you want."
"How many can you give me?"
"5%."
Just that little? Then why did she even bother massaging him? Yang Mi was very practical. She lazily sat beside him, crossing those long legs.
"5% seems too little."
"It's not too little. Invest 25 million and take the money."
"25 million?" Yang Mi looked at him incredulously, "5% requires 25 million, is your project worth five hundred million?"
"Yes, it's worth five hundred million and I don't plan to dilute the shares further in the future."
Fine then... over 20 million wasn't a big deal for Yang Mi.
In mid-July, she had made almost two hundred million from the Bobo Milk Tea deal.
She just thought this investment was a bit steep.
Upon further inquiry, she discovered he hadn't even chosen a name for the project yet.
If it hadn't been for her belief that he was a reliable person, she might have suggested deducting it from his salary.
"Chen Pingsheng, how long will you stay in Magic City this time?"
"About a week. Once I finish the preliminary establishment plan for the coffee shop, I'll return to Capital City."
"Alright."
Yang Mi quite comfortably joined him on the balcony and perhaps because it was too comfy, she fell asleep lying there.
It was Chen Pingsheng who covered her with a blanket.
Not until the next day.
Did Yang Mi realize that she had slept through the night without even washing her feet or face.
That was a bit unsophisticated of her.
As the sun rose, everything felt new here.
There were three separate bathrooms.
After freshening up, Yang Mi asked about his itinerary for the day.
Chen Pingsheng didn't have much planned, just to visit various coffee shops in Magic City and have a look around.
The main reason for this trip was to meet Tong Zelan.
He also wanted to gain a deeper understanding of Greater Magic City.
His wife had invested a billion yuan to open the flagship store of Water Cloud Space here last time she came.
This was also their family's first major industry in Magic City.
Once he opens two more Tenghui Department Stores in Capital City this year, making it a total of eight,
then he would consider launching a few Tenghui Department Stores in Magic City.
He planned on opening eight in each top-tier city as part of a long-term legacy.
Investing thirty billion in Magic City was the goal.
There was no way he could come up with that much money this year, so it would have to wait until next year.
Besides Tenghui Department Store and Water Cloud Space making a big move into Magic City, Tengsheng Fresh Food was also on the list. Stay tuned to M-V-L
But the investment in fresh food was not that large.
Downstairs, Yang Mi again felt that Chen Pingsheng was back to his spendthrift ways.
