Shuiyun Jian was set to open in mid-october.
Currently, they were still busy organizing various tools, training employees, and conducting preliminary marketing.
Chen Pingsheng, with nothing much to do, accompanied his wife Song Yanxi, running around.
His fruit store had already started accepting top-ups this month, and money would pour in regardless of whether he was there or not.
This was a good opportunity for him to learn more about the beauty industry.
At noon, Chen Pingsheng drove his newly bought Brabus to treat Zhou Chun and the others to Peking Roast Duck.
With over a dozen people, his sister Chen Qi driving another car was enough.
These girls from South Province hadn't had a proper tour since coming to Beijing.
Since he had time, he took them to see the sights.
The Forbidden City and museums, these Beijing landmarks, were naturally indispensable.
On the way, Chen Qi asked him, "Brother, didn't you also invest in the Entertainment Circle? Can you take us to see it?"
"What's so good about watching filming?"
Chen Pingsheng, the seasoned driver, was very steady:
"If you want to see celebrities, I'll take you after my Tengying Entertainment opens."
Chen Qi was surprised; was her brother planning to open another entertainment company?
And enter the Entertainment Circle in the future.
"Brother, why didn't I know you had this ability?"
"It has nothing to do with my ability; it's purely good luck."
Chen Pingsheng chuckled, "Before, your sister-in-law and I met a minor extra. You know, your brother isn't highly educated, but his eye for talent is absolutely not bad. I felt at first glance that girl could become a big star. Your brother also entered the Entertainment Circle by following her."
"She's still filming now. I'll let you meet her after she finishes."
"Alright then." Chen Qi giggled, "The biggest star I've ever seen in my life is Chen Yingjun from 'A Family of Old and Young.'"
"You've even seen him, not bad."
Chen Pingsheng boasted, "Once your brother establishes a firm footing in the Entertainment Circle, I'll take you to meet Yang Mi and Liu Shi Shi."
These two are very popular now, especially Yang Mi.
Her 'Gong' was broadcast on Mango TV in South Province, becoming popular all over the country.
Chen Qi was also a big fan of her.
If they could invite her to Shuiyun Jian for a breast care treatment, would their club even need promotion?
It would definitely be an instant hit.
She wasn't called 'Big-Chested Mi' for nothing.
Chen Pingsheng himself was just idly boasting in front of the young girls.
He truly didn't expect his wife, Song Yanxi, to her eyes light up.
What was this silly wife thinking?
If they could really invite her for breast care, the advertising fees alone would be astronomical.
Back at Shuiyun Jian, they didn't go anywhere else.
In a few days, his eldest sister Chen Yao would be coming with her husband, and he definitely had to pick them up.
He also needed to help them find a storefront.
His eldest sister's matters had to be handled personally.
Zhou Chun, however, pulled him to get a shoulder and neck massage and a kidney treatment.
Don't misunderstand, this kidney treatment was not the kind of 598 half-dragon service found outside.
Instead, it was a legitimate, bright project to enhance male kidney function.
After testing, he was found to be slightly sub-healthy.
This could easily affect his sleep quality and cause fatigue at night, but these were minor issues.
Coming here every now and then, it could be improved in a few months.
Beauty salons don't just serve female clients; they can also specifically improve men's sub-health.
In short, there are many benefits.
It's just that the consumption is relatively high; for example, the set box recommended by Zhou Chun.
A single session in Sha City would cost over a thousand.
At Shuiyun Jian in Beijing, it would sell for at least 2680.
Only truly wealthy people could afford it.
One session wouldn't show too obvious results, but after ten sessions in a set box, it could probably increase marital life by five minutes.
And it would be very potent.
This was the benefit of regular maintenance.
Chen Pingsheng felt that investing in this store was not a loss; he could come here often in the future anyway.
It was october 8th, just after National Day.
His eldest sister Chen Yao came with her husband.
They carried a large amount of luggage, not planning to return this time.
His eldest brother-in-law had always been a driver in Sha City, first driving illegal taxis, then Didi.
Now that he was here, he still planned to get a car to drive for Didi.
If the couple stayed in one shop, they would starve if there was no business.
For him, as long as he had a car, he felt secure.
Chen Pingsheng hadn't actually registered for the internet ride-hailing software yet; his brother-in-law taught him, so he registered one on his own phone.
When it came to choosing a car, he thought for a moment and registered the BYD Brabus.
Considered a luxury car driver.
His brother-in-law's car wasn't driven over, and his own few cars were clearly unsuitable, mainly because they were turbocharged.
They consumed too much fuel, making it uneconomical in terms of cost.
Generally, Didi drivers either use BYD or Volkswagen's popular models.
His brother-in-law also explained in detail some of the current internet ride-hailing policies.
The main thing was learning how to exploit the platform for benefits.
With various subsidies, his highest daily income could exceed two thousand.
Which was very good.
The couple planned to sell their old car in Sha City and buy a Volkswagen worth around 100,000 in Beijing.
He was tasked with handling the license plate.
That was naturally not a problem.
Once their small shop was set up, his brother-in-law could still often drive.
Considered a stable income.
The couple had no place to live when they arrived in Beijing, so he had Song Yanxi buy a set nearby.
He bought a house for his younger sister and gave her a car.
He also gave her a quarter of Shuiyun Jian's shares, and his eldest sister naturally deserved the same.
They bought a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment.
120 square meters, in Shijingshan community.
The decoration was already done; Chen Pingsheng would never buy off-plan housing.
The small shop was found next to his fruit store, not large, just over 100 square meters.
The transfer fee of 480,000 yuan could not be less than a single cent.
Chen Pingsheng took it over and paid a year's rent as well.
Without rent pressure for the first year, his sister would surely earn five or six hundred thousand.
After all, a year's rent was over three hundred thousand.
After resolving his sister's matters, it was already mid-october.
Shuiyun Jian was about to open, but he didn't attend.
Having his wife worry about it there was enough.
A major piece of news came from the fruit industry these past few days, and it was quite unfavorable for them.
A fruit chain enterprise in Pengcheng with a registered capital of over ten million yuan.
After illegally raising over one billion yuan, it directly absconded.
This incident had a huge impact.
Speaking of which, that chain enterprise's modus operandi was somewhat similar to theirs.
In the traditional fruit industry, businesses can often acquire funds quickly through two methods during operation.
The first, naturally, is through store promotions and top-ups.
Acquiring development funds from customers.
The chain enterprise in Pengcheng did exactly this.
It was much crazier than Tengsheng.
Top up 1,000 to get 30% off on fruit, top up 5,000 to get 50% off.
Even more exaggerated discounts of 70% off existed.
Undoubtedly, such activities were designed from the outset with no intention of long-term operation.
The second, naturally, is to obtain funds from wholesalers.
Once an enterprise grows large, these intermediaries often need to tie up capital if they want to cooperate.
Which means tying up payment for goods.
This absconding incident implicated tens of thousands of member customers in Pengcheng.
Some had hundreds left on their cards, others thousands.
The boss simply left, leaving behind an imaginable mess.
Additionally, there were dozens of large and small fruit wholesalers.
Some were owed millions, others tens of millions.
These people went to the government entrance every day to protest with banners.
The matter caused a huge stir and had a very far-reaching impact.
He had been invited for tea several times, so how could he possibly have the mind to attend Shuiyun Jian's opening ceremony?
As expected, affected by this incident.
Financial channels and major news outlets all strongly condemned such illegal private fundraising.
Tengsheng Fruit, Nongguoyuan, and others were all ordered to halt all top-up activities by government departments on the same day.
