Chapter 48 Wan Liu
Chen Pingsheng was furious.
He ignored Chen Anan on the way home, the little chubby girl didn't know what mistake she had made.
It actually led to her father teaching her how to do homework.
And then... one big pig and one small pig were running in the sky.
Song Yanxi certainly felt that way; Xiao Anan was already in first grade, and the things she was learning were still very basic.
Such as the twenty-six letters, Pinyin, etc.
Chen Pingsheng took a look, wasn't very good at it, and decisively left.
His small villa now only had their family of three again; Chen Qi had moved to live in the collective dormitory with Zhou Chun and the others.
Eldest Sister Chen Yao had moved into the new house he bought; Chen Anan, at this age, was active in everything except being diligent in studying.
The backyard was almost full of flowers and plants she had planted.
Anyway, she just dug around randomly.
Chen Pingsheng touched Song Yanxi's belly; it had only been a little over a month, and there was no movement at all yet.
"Wife, you said Anan doesn't like studying, is it related to her prenatal education from a young age?"
There is such a saying, and many prenatal education centers specifically teach these strange things.
That's right, the competition among children has already started from the tadpole stage.
"If you believe this, you might as well say she inherited your learning talent as a father."
Song Yanxi rolled her eyes at him; her academic performance was very good.
If she hadn't been influenced by him to marry early back then, a 985 university would have been certain.
Although Chen Pingsheng didn't admit what she said, he didn't deliberately refute it either.
Pregnant women's personalities are changeable.
To make her happy, the simplest and most straightforward method must be used.
"Wife, I recently made a lot of money, I don't know if I should tell you!"
This kind of talk is asking for a scolding.
Song Yanxi pricked up her ears, feeling there was a surprise, not to mention her man had inexplicably bought another Aston Martin.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like he made a windfall.
Touching his hand, Song Yanxi said gently, "Husband, there shouldn't be secrets between husband and wife. How much money did you make again? Is it five million?"
"That's shallow."
Chen Pingsheng said proudly, "A mere five million, it seems it's no longer worth me mentioning it to you like this, be bolder and add a zero."
"What? Fifty million??"
Song Yanxi was greatly surprised; Chen Pingsheng bluffed a bit and just said that the TV series he invested in the Entertainment Circle before had made money again.
Speaking of which, 'lu zhen legend' was also almost finished filming.
He still had nearly 200 million in savings; even if he were to take on Tengying Entertainment, he couldn't spend that much money in a short time.
A good man should know how to hand it over.
He only handed over a quarter, look how shocked his Wife was.
She was almost turning into a little fan girl.
"Husband, let's go buy another large mansion on the Second Ring Road?"
Song Yanxi had previously only hoarded a small flat of about two hundred square meters in the Dongcheng District of the Second Ring Road.
In just a few months, the price had risen by nearly ten thousand per square meter.
Calculated, that's nearly two million.
She had great confidence in houses within the Second Ring Road.
Chen Pingsheng was only slightly interested in these things; he knew that housing prices would continue to rise.
Exactly when they would stop rising, no one could say for sure.
Anyway, everyone with spare money in their family was speculating on real estate now.
Stock speculation was something their family didn't do.
Mainly because many listed companies in China were aiming to defraud from the very beginning.
From the moment they submitted their listing application, they were already engaging in continuous under-the-table operations.
The specifics cannot be explained too clearly, but roughly speaking, from the start, some people had already agreed on how to divide the pie.
After listing, they would inflate the stock price through various news and information.
Then they would quickly sell off their large holdings of shares.
The uninformed retail investors would take over.
When the bubble finally burst, these market makers had already made a fortune.
Tens of thousands of retail investors jumped off buildings or went bankrupt.
Their family did not participate in such a stock market.
If they were to buy, they would only buy shares in large companies they understood.
Those unknown small companies were too prone to bursting.
Large villas within the Second Ring Road now had an average price of around fifty thousand.
Among the more famous ones were Ziyufu on the north side of the zoo in Haidian District, which sold best in 2008 and 2009.
Other famous ones included Wanliu Academy, Jingcheng No. 1 Courtyard, Zhonghai Kaixuan, etc.
Now that she had fifty million, there were actually many directions she could consider.
The primary reference target was still appreciation.
After all, their family already had a place to live.
A small villa of over five hundred square meters was already large enough for a family of three.
Any larger was purely for the purpose of making money.
Chen Pingsheng transferred the money to her; Song Yanxi still wanted to peek at his balance.
This had to be kept strictly secret.
If his Wife knew he still had over a hundred million, even if she didn't demand it all, it would be good if she left him a hundred thousand as pocket money.
Song Yanxi was pregnant after all, so she drove slower.
The next day, after dropping Chen Anan off at school, she went to call Liu Fen to look at houses together.
Liu Fen hesitated multiple times; at her age, she actually didn't have many desires left.
Her eldest daughter's success was something she couldn't understand even if she stretched her neck.
Didn't you see that when people called, it was to buy a house, as if houses were like Chinese cabbage?
She would just casually bring a few baskets of them home.
What she was truly worried about was her younger daughter, Song Wu.
Song Wu had also graduated for some time; since Song Yanxi gave her a BMW car, she really hadn't managed her afterward.
Compared to Chen Qi and Chen Pingsheng's Sister Chen Yao, the treatment was worlds apart.
When their sisters came over, house, car, and career were all given as a package deal.
Then looking at her daughter's BMW car worth a few hundred thousand, it instantly didn't feel so good anymore.
"Xiao Xi, where are you planning to buy a house this time?"
"Let's go see Wanliu Academy first."
Good heavens, wasn't this a famous mansion within the Second Ring Road?
Anyone who could live there was either rich or noble.
Furthermore, given the location of Wanliu Academy, right next to it were the Third Primary School, Renmin University Affiliated Primary School, etc.
It was simply surrounded by famous schools.
Living in a place like this, even a pig's academic performance could improve a bit.
Wanliu Academy was in Haidian; the houses here were not villas.
They were large buildings about six or seven stories high; if you looked from the outside, they really resembled factory dormitories and employee housing.
The apartment types were generally between three hundred and seven hundred square meters, with the top floor being larger.
Many internet tycoons lived in there.
In a few more years, the houses here would be difficult to buy even with money.
Song Yanxi chose one of the few remaining top-floor mansions, with an area of six hundred and eighty square meters.
It was fully decorated, and all configurations like home appliances were top-notch.
She could move in with just a bag, and she still wanted to buy another set.
This one set cost nearly forty million with full payment.
In a few more years, it would be over a hundred million.
So, after having money, making more money is really not difficult.
Even if one's education level is not high and abilities are not particularly outstanding.
Song Yanxi used to be a customer service representative; now she can casually earn several million or tens of millions a year.
This is entirely due to the rapidly rising housing prices in this era.
To some extent, speculating on real estate is a foolproof way to make money.
After buying this house, she still had tens of millions left in her card.
She planned to open one in the Second Ring Road after Water Cloud Room became successful.
There were more rich women within the Second Ring Road.
She wasn't afraid of no one spending money.
Liu Fen was completely numb; thinking about her attitude towards Chen Pingsheng before.
It was understandable that she, this mother-in-law, couldn't enjoy any benefits brought by this son-in-law from out of town.
It was all the karma she created herself before.
Otherwise, given her eldest daughter's situation, hoarding a mansion like this on the Third Ring Road and lending it to them to live in would also be very enjoyable.
Anyway, it was empty.
She had many empty houses, but they just wouldn't let her live in them, it was incredibly frustrating.
This was like seeing mountains of gold and silver right in front of you, but being unable to pick them up, just as uncomfortable.
