Chapter 488: Chapter 298: Not Very Clever (Long Chapter)

The marriage talks were almost settled.

His wife suggested that she hoped Song Wu, after leaving the entertainment industry, could do the same as her.

Run a high-end beauty and wellness brand, she knows the ropes in this area, and starting another brand for her to manage wouldn’t be bad.

Chen Pingsheng, however, shook his head, “You’re being too unrealistic. First off, let’s not mention how competitive the beauty industry has become in these recent years, even the high-end market itself isn’t something you can excel in overnight, especially since it’s a technical field.”

Technical industries like catering, beauty, and makeup are full of too much uncertainty.

And the potential for growth in the future is actually quite limited.

Chen Pingsheng didn’t really agree with his sister-in-law entering such an industry; the inherent disadvantages were too great.

She wasn’t even schooled in beauty care, so why venture into high-end beauty?

The year 2017 was very different from 2013 when a beautician could easily earn tens of millions in a year by simply having the guts to carry a couple of counterfeit devices and negotiate with beauty salons.

That’s no exaggeration.

As for now, let’s not even mention how abundant those who do so have become; customers have also wisened up.

They’re extremely cautious of those so-called equipment projects in beauty salons.

Song Wu hadn’t learned beauty care at all, letting her be involved in high-end beauty care is even less practical than simply giving her two Water Cloud Space locations.

Just like his sister Chen Qi, lying around idly and easily making tens of millions a year.

Song Yanxi asked him, “Then what do you think she could do?”

“Naturally, she should go with the times and work with the internet celebrity economy!”

Chen Pingsheng said, “Short videos are extremely popular now. Many stars don’t even make as much as those big internet celebrities who do product promotions. The industry is just rising, and the future is full of opportunities. Plus, she’s been a star herself; a company in the internet celebrity economy is definitely most suitable for her.”

Song Yanxi tilted her head to think about it and realized that it made a lot of sense; her husband was the smart one.

“Why didn’t you speak up earlier and let me make a fool of myself here!”

“This is just me fully respecting your opinion.”

Chen Pingsheng said, “Who knew your ideas would be so unreliable. Don’t assume high-end beauty care is a piece of cake just because our family manages Water Cloud Space well. You’re not even considering how much we spend on training beauticians every year!”

That was indeed true.

Song Yanxi didn’t argue; among her husband’s new start-ups, Xin Teng Live Streaming grew the fastest.

Next came Teng You Media.

It’s grown in scale, it just hasn’t reached the stage of cashing out yet.

From this perspective, starting a short video business is indeed the most suitable for her sister.

Without a doubt.

“Starting an internet celebrity economy company doesn’t require much money. You’ve earned a lot yourself over the years. Just take fifty million and give it a try!”

Chen Pingsheng merely pointed out a direction, there was no need to give too many resources.

Song Wu, after all, had been in the entertainment industry for so many years. She was familiar with short videos.

Just adapt what she knew from the entertainment industry to the new platform.

Add to this the fact that both of them were somewhat famous, with starting followers numbering in the millions.

With this kind of head start, making money from short videos would be easily done, not to mention she would likely earn more than she did as a star.

Now, Song Wu no longer had a temper.

She obediently followed her brother-in-law’s arrangements, knowing that if she ever failed, she still had the safety net of a close brother-in-law.

She wasn’t worried at all.

Yang Changwen, however, was somewhat disappointed; he thought marrying into the family would mean taking over a huge company and starting out as a CEO.

How glorious that would be.

His current situation didn’t differ much from marrying into the family.

The thought of starting from scratch wasn’t what he had anticipated.

Chen Pingsheng could tell what he meant just by looking into his eyes and couldn’t be bothered to comment.

A third-tier actor, coming over and expecting to take over a big company—who did he think he was!

Why would anyone listen to him?

With a wave of his hand, he sent him away. Many youngsters are just like that—high aspirations but low abilities—not changing their bad habits until society gives them a harsh beating.

Chen Pingsheng really didn’t have high hopes for the guy his young aunt had found.

Too bad she liked him.

There are some things that just can’t match up with a woman’s own preferences; just like the Samsung princess willing to marry a security guard.

Once they finished their talk, Song Shuiqing, who had been stealthily wanting to come in, crept around outside. Chen Pingsheng saw her looking sneaky as if she was about to commit a theft.

“Song Shuiqing, what are you doing?”

“Brother-in-law, I wanted to report a small situation to you.”

“If you have a situation, come in and talk. What’s with all the sneaking around outside!”

With a giggle, Song Shuiqing said, “Well, I didn’t want to disturb you since you’re so busy. Brother-in-law, I heard you bought another English Premier League club overseas?”

“How did you find out about that!”

“I found out from the news, okay? It said Tenghui Capital took control, and the owner was Chinese. I guessed it was you. You are truly awe-inspiring and exceptional now. My admiration for you is like an overflowing river…”

“Stop, stop, stop…”

Chen Pingsheng quickly interrupted her, “Have you been sleeping with the spoiled brat for a few nights? How come you’ve also started to spout nonsense like her?”

“How did you know?”

Song Yanxi couldn’t stand it anymore and asked her to cut to the chase. Song Shuiqing immediately began to honestly talk about recent events.

After taking two million in startup funds, she immediately went to Hangzhou to learn clothing promotion from Yao Anni.

It had to be said, her brother-in-law’s old classmate really had some skills in the clothing industry.

After receiving an investment of one hundred million from Chen Pingsheng, she closed all the physical stores and switched over to the short video field for live product promotion.

She had cultivated several major hosts on platforms like Kwai and Taobao.
