Chapter 323 - 228: Group Strategy Annual Conference
The strategic group meeting lasted for two full days.
During this time, a series of post-holiday development directions were determined through various discussions.
For example, Chang Fu proposed that Xin Teng Live Streaming should collaborate more deeply with Tenghui Department Store.
When it comes to live streaming, there are generally two ways to make money: one is receiving gifts.
The other is earning a commission from sales, and clearly, the income from sales is significantly higher than that from gifts.
And the direction of development is more profound.
As a super department store developed offline, Tenghui Department Store itself has an extensive network.
It spans various industries.
If Xin Teng Live Streaming wants to quickly establish its own sales channels,
collaborating with Tenghui Department Store is undoubtedly the fastest way.
Both sides will form a selection team and an online sales department together.
Apart from this collaboration,
Fei Yangyang will further cooperate with Tengsheng Fresh Produce.
To put it plainly, the group has developed to this scale, and many of the brands under it can share resources.
Take the trainee competition as an example; fifty contestants will go through continuous elimination.
And these eliminated girls, with their super high beauty and decent talents,
If they can’t make it into the entertainment industry, they can directly sign with Xin Teng Live Streaming as sales hosts.
Overall, the strategic conference is about setting goals and directions for the new year.
The group’s annual meeting is in just a few days.
Chu Qiuyan and the others simply decided not to return to Magic City, as she currently has a huge following among college students.
During the Spring Recruitment period in March and April, she will surely be speaking at various universities.
As the most inspirational girl among the new generation of college students, she naturally has a high degree of popularity and topicality.
Chen Pingsheng invited them to have a meal at his house.
His Siheyuan even had a special banquet hall and reception hall.
There were also two elderly women to do the cooking.
Liu Fen also made several million from her investment in Bobo Milk Tea, having bought in at its lowest price with great enthusiasm.
Now she has also made a small profit of two or three million.
She no longer needed any financial assistance from Chen Pingsheng, as the money in her pocket from stock trading was ever-increasing.
As for Peng Ying, her family had everything, hardly having much need to spend money.
The two elderly women just took good care of Chen Xinyi.
The Little Fart Kid would be two years old in a few months, looking adorably plump.
She didn’t like to cry and only wanted to be held by her father when she saw him.
Once Chen Pingsheng held her in his arms, the Little Fart Kid would laugh uncontrollably with joy.
She always had a lollipop in her mouth.
"Daddy, where’s mommy?"
"Your mom is at work; she’ll be back at noon."
The Little Fart Kid could not speak much yet but could understand what the adults said.
She puffed her cheeks and nodded seriously.
After holding her for a while, she wanted to get down and walk by herself.
Wobbling behind him.
Chen Pingsheng asked Chu Qiuyan and the others to go to his tea room for tea, and Yang Qian was a few months away from giving birth.
In no more than two months, he would have to take over Antler Coffee himself.
Thinking about it, life seemed rather busy, especially since the Lunar New Year was early this year, falling on the eighth of February.
After the annual meeting, the spoiled brat would already be on winter break from the third grade.
Chen Pingsheng asked them, "Do you want to go back home for the New Year this year?"
Yang Qian, being pregnant, didn’t want to travel, "No, Chang Fu and I will just stay in Magic City, it’s better to go back home after the baby is born next year."
Chang Fu shared a similar sentiment, "I’ve already called home, offering to bring the old man to Magic City to enjoy himself. You just had your sister’s wedding and all the relatives came over, so it seems like you don’t really need to go back this year, right?"
"Indeed, there’s not much need."
Chen Pingsheng sipped his hot tea and said, "Do you know how many people from home called me? The town mayor, the county mayor, I can ignore them, but the key is my grandfather and others at that age, living one year less each year; and then there’s my wife’s side, her grandfather’s health isn’t too good this year, I still need to make a trip back."
Little kids enjoy the New Year.
At their age, New Year’s is basically just about going home to see the elders.
If possible, he would actually like to invite the elder members of his family to live in Capital City. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Unfortunately, the older you get, the harder it is to leave your hometown.
If it wasn’t for Chang Fu’s wife being pregnant, he would definitely be heading back too.
Moreover, he had just started working on Xin Teng Live Streaming, so it wouldn’t be convenient for him to leave.
"It’s good for you to go back; you can help me bring some things home."
Chang Fu asked him, "You’ve donated quite a bit to Wangcai Village, surely you aren’t planning on giving away a lot of money when you go back this year, are you?"
"Not anymore."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Ever since my dad became the village chief, he has faced a lot of pressure. The main issue is with Wangcai Village, just like the majority of villages out there, young people can’t be retained, and the elderly, besides raising some fish and farming a bit of land, really have no significant source of income."
"Last time, my dad even gave me a statistic, saying that the elderly in the village, whether they are farming or raising fish, can’t earn more than twenty thousand a year with all the hard work, you tell me, even if I go back to the village every year with tens of millions, it still wouldn’t change this state of poverty."
"Why are you still thinking about these kinds of problems now?"
Chang Fu asked surprisingly, "Isn’t that something the local government should be worrying about?"
"I don’t ponder over it deliberately; it’s just that sometimes, these things unavoidably come to mind."
Chen Pingsheng said, "You know, once a business or a group becomes large, there’s inevitably some social responsibility. I often talk on the phone with my old man back home; he told me about a guy in his twenties from our neighborhood who had to pay a dowry of three hundred thousand to marry a girl from a single-parent family in the village, not including the three golds, a house, and a car."
"This amount of money is trivial to us, but that young fellow’s family is simply down-to-earth farmers. It took three generations to scrape together the dowry, and they also helped him buy a car on installments."
