He became rich in one fell swoop.
He didn't plan to open it every day from now on.
Instead, he would do it once every seven days as usual, getting excited four times a month, making every day a good day.
While he was receiving good news, his younger sister, Chen Qi, finally managed to get her former supervisor to come over.
She was a 28-year-old young woman, called young mainly because of her petite appearance, which didn't suggest she was a decisive leader.
The saying 'you can't judge a book by its cover' had been fully proven by Teacher Ma.
Chen Qi had taken over a month to get her to come.
According to Chen Qi's introduction, this young woman started learning beauty at sixteen.
At seventeen, she became an A-level beautician, meaning she was the backbone of the salon.
Then she spent another three years, working her way up from beautician to consultant, manager, and now the manager of a well-known beauty salon in Sha City.
Her annual salary was around 300,000 yuan.
She had heard Chen Qi talk many times about her brother investing in a beauty salon here, and that she would get 20% of the shares if she came.
Beauty salons were undoubtedly highly profitable.
She had worked in Sha City for many years and never received shares in the salon; the boss simply wouldn't give shares to employees like them.
Naturally, she also developed the idea of changing jobs or starting her own business.
The saying goes, 'hearing is believing, but seeing is proof'.
No matter how much Chen Qi talked it up, it was not as good as her seeing it with her own eyes.
So, she came during her vacation.
"Sister Chun."
"Oh, Xiao Qi."
Chen Qi used to be the front desk at her salon; she was very cheerful and good at talking, so she had good relationships with everyone.
But after several years, she had never heard that Chen Qi had such a rich older brother.
The one who came to pick her up was naturally not Chen Pingsheng, but Song Yanxi, who was more eager to invest in a beauty salon.
She drove an open-top Bentley.
This was Chen Qi's suggestion; the Bentley was stunning at first glance, and at second glance, it screamed wealth.
Seeing Chen Qi, who came to pick her up, sitting in an open-top Bentley, Zhou Chun no longer doubted the fact that her brother was rich.
"You must be Zhou Chun, I'm Xiao Qi's sister-in-law, Song Yanxi."
Song Yanxi introduced herself proactively, smiling very affably.
After she got Zhou Chun into the passenger seat, she made Chen Qi squeeze into the back.
This kind of sports car had that one drawback; it was just right for two people, and adding one more meant squeezing into the back row.
The back seat space wasn't large, barely enough to straighten one's legs.
Song Yanxi was about to suggest they eat first, but Chen Qi still proposed going to her brother's company first.
They would talk after seeing her brother.
Zhou Chun understood her very well; her family's financial conditions were not good since she was little, and she worked harder than anyone after entering society.
If you talked about making money with her, she could go three days and three nights without sleep.
If you talked about irrelevant things with her, a few perfunctory words were being polite.
She had many beauticians under her, and most of them would follow her.
It could be said that as long as she was settled, the beauty salon could basically be opened.
Tengsheng Fruit was no longer like before; there was a small lion at the entrance.
The Tengsheng Group logo was particularly striking and imposing.
Chen Pingsheng's CEO office was still simple and unadorned; he didn't pretend to be cultured by putting a pile of books in it.
He was fine learning from videos, but reading books made him a bit sleepy.
This was not good and needed to be changed.
But no matter how he tried to change, it remained the same.
"Brother."
Chen Qi pulled Zhou Chun and introduced her to him; after all, she worked in high-end beauty and had seen many rich people.
She wouldn't be nervous at all.
Chen Pingsheng always preferred to be straightforward and not beat around the bush.
"My sister has told me about you a few times. Today, I'll take you to see a salon I'm planning to invest in. If you agree, we can sign that salon immediately."
"Brother, you've found a salon, why didn't I know?"
"If I let you know, you'd immediately run off to Sha City."
Chen Pingsheng then took them down together; this time, he wasn't driving the sports car.
His navigator was parked downstairs.
It was a million-yuan seven-seater car, like a mobile sofa.
Chen Qi was still too young to handle someone like Zhou Chun.
When dealing with people who want to make money, it's best to talk directly about making money; talking about feelings is nonsense.
It might work for fooling young kids who just entered society.
The salon he looked at was also in Shijingshan, named Tianxiang Pavilion Top Luxury Beauty Club.
Just by its name, you knew that if your family didn't have tens of millions, you wouldn't dare to enter.
The owner of this salon was a young woman, extremely beautiful.
She spoke in a sweet, delicate voice.
She was only twenty-four, and her usual attire was on the sexy side.
Always alluring.
Chen Pingsheng had only seen her once, and with his professional street vendor's eye, he could confirm that this woman was not from a wealthy family.
Instead, she had a sugar daddy behind her.
He gave her a card for unlimited spending, and she, not content with idleness, wanted to start a business.
The result was this salon.
The total investment was eight million yuan, with an area of 1,200 square meters.
This was no longer called a beauty salon but a high-end beauty club.
Inside, there was not only a coffee shop for leisure and chatting but also a music hall for afternoon tea.
A piano was placed on it, and guests often performed.
The entire decor style was antique, and the eighteen beauty rooms were named after mountains and rivers.
Just lying inside and doing nothing gave one a feeling of tranquility and pleasure.
Only a salon like this deserved to be called a top luxury beauty club.
"How about it? If you're willing to bring your team over, this salon will be handed over to you for management. Except for the finances, we won't interfere with any specific management matters."
Chen Pingsheng said, "To be honest, it's mainly because my sister has been doing beauty for a few years; otherwise, I wouldn't make this kind of investment. Now it's fulfilling a dream for her and giving her a career of her own."
Zhou Chun was speechless this time, the style of this salon was more than just a little better than the one in Sha City.
It was simply a world apart.
If a salon like this was run well, it would surely make four or five million yuan a year, wouldn't it?
"Please forgive my directness, but I'm afraid a salon like this costs more than three million yuan to invest, right?"
She had heard Chen Qi say before that her brother was planning to invest three million yuan in beauty.
Given the scale of this salon, three million was clearly not enough.
"Three million is just a number. I discussed this salon, and the female boss quoted six million, taking a loss of two million to sell it off."
Chen Pingsheng said, "I think six million is acceptable. Besides, my wife now also likes getting beauty treatments, so opening a beauty salon also serves her. As long as she's happy, an extra few million doesn't matter."
"By the way, in addition to this six million, I will also give you one million in working capital for initial marketing and product costs. The total investment will be almost seven million, I guess."
Zhou Chun agreed almost without any hesitation.
He took her to see the salon and discussed the investment; if she wanted to make money, she should know that opportunities like this don't come every day.
Chen Qi, on the other hand, was incredibly excited. According to her sister-in-law, she would get a quarter of the shares in this salon.
If this worked out well, she wouldn't have to rely on her brother anymore.
Relying on herself would also be fine.
As for his wife, Song Yanxi, getting beauty treatments at her own salon felt great.
It also gave her a lot of face when she talked about it.
Zhou Chun didn't stay in Beijing for too long; she returned to Sha City after one day.
When she came back, she brought twelve young women with her.
All of them were beauticians.
They had all followed her for several years.
And Chen Pingsheng quickly signed Tianxiang Pavilion and officially renamed it Shuiyunjian Luxury Beauty Club.
