Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

"The reason I wanted to gather everyone here for this annual group meeting was mainly to let everyone know where we stand today and our goals for future development." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"At the beginning of January, I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but there was a shocking income ranking list released in the entertainment industry. The highest earning female performers were two of our artists at Tengying, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying."

"Yang Mi, as you know, was already a traffic queen in the industry before she joined Tengying, but Zhao Liying was actually my neighbor at first. I met her because she asked me to help her move, and I charged her a thousand yuan for the moving fees."

"I believe at that time, she definitely could not have imagined earning over five hundred million in personal pre-tax income in 15 years."

The entire audience was shocked.

Zhao Liying also happily stood up and greeted everyone with a smile.

Indeed, she reaped tremendous benefits in her 15th year.

Whether it was the listing of Bobo Milk Tea or the successful IPO of Fei Yangyang.

These led to her earning far more this year than her status in the entertainment circle would suggest.

She even surpassed Haomen Bing, who had long dominated the top spot on the female performers’ income rankings.

She also completely outshined the Four Great Actresses.

She herself hadn’t expected this day and was very surprised and delighted.

Chen Pingsheng continued, "I remember when Tengying Entertainment was first established, I knew nothing about the industry. At that time, I believed in one thing: if you don’t understand something, let the professionals handle it. Moreover, I adopted a unique win-win cooperation model in the entertainment circle."

&"Three years have passed, and look at us now, our ranks are shining with stars, not only having the best actresses but also having the best directors of today."

"Going forward, Tengying will never change its way of cooperating with all of you. As long as you are with Tengying Entertainment, you are your own boss."

"Furthermore, we will continue to focus on the traffic of Tengying Entertainment as the core, creating more listed companies like Bobo Milk Tea."

"We will also open up our investment channel to cooperate and win together with everyone as much as possible."

Despite being the big boss, he had none of the airs of one.

Whenever he spoke, he always positioned himself somewhat lower.

This made Wu Jing and Shen Teng feel very positive about him.

Yang Mi and Zhao Liying felt the same way, both being very happy at Tengying.

They also owned a small share in Antler Coffee.

Later, he planned to create even more brands, supplemented by a good entrepreneurial team and traffic.

The goal was to establish more listed companies.

Chen Pingsheng wasn’t being vehement; rather, his tone was always calm and gentle.

He also firmly opposed hero worship within the company and was extremely against any negative internal culture.

For example, if a leader and subordinate went out to eat and it was discovered the subordinate paid, the leader would be immediately punished.

Furthermore, if it was found that a subordinate had given gifts privately, they would be instantly dismissed.

If one were to describe it in a phrase, they were not a monopolistic enterprise.

Thus, they absolutely could not maintain bureaucratic practices.

If such a culture ever emerged, he felt the company was not far from bankruptcy.

Always maintaining a respect for the market, and intense reflection within the company.

This was how they could avoid driving a burgeoning group into the ground through blindness and excess.

In conclusion, Chen Pingsheng still handed out gifts to everyone.

"I’ve prepared twenty thousand shopping cards worth five thousand each as gifts for your parents, and I hope when your parents visit the city next year, you can buy them some decent gifts."

"It’s the same old saying, ’No need to worship gods or Buddhas, just worship the parents who raised you until you were eighteen.’"

"They are the gods you should honor for your whole life."

"Furthermore, the group has selected a hundred outstanding store managers, and I will personally award them medals."

"In addition, I will personally fund and gift each of you a Mercedes-Benz E300 for the hard work you have put into our physical stores, making them grow better and better."

The one hundred outstanding store managers were selected internally by the group in advance.

They included managers from Bobo Milk Tea, Antler Coffee, Fei Yangyang, and other stores.

The Water Cloud Space was directly excluded.

The starting position for managers in their family’s stores involved driving Porsches.

And again it’s BMWs and Mercedes worth over a million.

This selection of one hundred was actually symbolic.

Their annual income was only about two to three hundred thousand.

Giving them a Mercedes-Benz E300 truly boosted their spirits.

It also had a great impact on the hearts of ordinary employees.

...

Chen Pingsheng was very generous when it came to awarding money.

He firmly believed that supporting the development of a group often depended more on junior executives.

Therefore, he personally allocated one hundred million as a reward for their parents.

The five thousand shopping cards could be used to buy anything at Tenghui Department Store.

They had everything there.

The additional one hundred Mercedes-Benz E300s were also paid for out of his own pocket.

All this was his gift to those junior executives who were willing to grow with the group.

Just a little reward.

They hadn’t received any prior notice, but were suddenly invited on stage for a photo with the big boss and to receive their Mercedes keys.

It was quite unexpected.

The annual meeting lasted about five hours, three hours of which were just performances.

The other two hours involved presidents from various companies explaining plans and directions for the coming year.

As for Chen Pingsheng, he mainly handled the awards ceremony.
