Chapter 462: Cashing Out Ten Billion_2
After finishing these two investments, he probably only has about two billion in cash left.
Every time he makes a big profit, if he doesn't take the opportunity to spend some, he feels unsatisfied.

Chen Pingsheng finished his work and then turned off the computer.
"Wanyi, you don't have a house in Xiangjiang yet, do you?"
"Chen, I don't even have one in Guangzhou, let alone Xiangjiang."
Zhang Wanyi said faintly, "The house in Magic City was bought with ten million you lent me."
"Now that your status is different, you definitely need to own a few houses."
Chen Pingsheng said, "I'll lend you thirty million first, after you go back to Guangzhou tomorrow, buy a place you like yourself. You'll need to come to Xiangjiang often in the future, and with your salary, it's especially hard to buy a place here. Tomorrow, I'll have the Xiangjiang headquarters buy you a luxury mansion of a thousand square feet, consider it your long-term residence here."
"Chen, you're too good to me."
"Don't be touched yet, if you don't do your job well, I'll still scold you."
Chen Pingsheng said, "I'm not short of money now, and you've been with me for several years. As Tengyou's most beautiful female president, you should definitely look the part. You can't earn less than the influencers below you; how else would you manage them?"
The secretary's demeanor has already improved.
Even if she is transferred to Tengyou as the president, as long as it's not listed yet and TikTok hasn't started an online store.
Her annual income is only about eight or nine million after taxes, which is less than what top influencers make.
If it successfully goes public, that's a completely different story.
Even if she only has 1% of the shares, it would be worth at least four to five hundred million.
Chen Pingsheng told her to take a bath and go to bed early, his secretary was rising up.
Lin Qiunan, who often ran around with him, was still an ordinary white-collar worker.
The reason he had Lin Qiunan follow him was first that this woman had endured enough hardship since a young age and had that kind of tenacity.
She would definitely make it, and she'd go all out to complete things without any discount.
Another reason is that Lin Qiunan was very pleasant to look at, her demeanor resembled Liu Shishi from the entertainment industry.
Elegant, yet otherworldly.
Maybe after some time, she might truly replace Secretary Zhang Wanyi.
Actually, he had another secretary who did a great job before, but that secretary had one obvious flaw.
She couldn't keep her mouth shut.
She even shared his long-term stock holdings in a school group chat.
And she often inadvertently leaked some of his personal affairs.
Because of this habit, the highly educated girl successfully got herself transferred out of the secretary team.
She went to the group to become an ordinary financial analyst.
To stay by his side, one must keep a tight lip.
...
The next morning.
Chen Pingsheng took Lin Qiunan back to Magic City.
And Secretary Zhang Wanyi rushed back to Tengyou Headquarters.
As soon as he got home, he was stopped at the door by Er Piya.
The little girl kept thinking about going with him to wander Earth.
She's grown so much and hasn't skied in Antarctica, nor drifted on the sea.
Dad promised her, and she remembered it all this time.
"Dad, when will you take me to ski?"
"In the middle of summer you want to ski, shall Dad just build you a big ice house in Magic City?"
"Wow… that's a great idea!"
Er Piya fell deep into her fantasies again.
Chen Pingsheng ignored her, "Wait a few more days, after your mom gets through this busy period and comes back, we'll go together."
"Okay!" Er Piya pouted and went off to play on her own.
Chen Pingsheng still had more than twenty billion left, and his wife was organizing a Splendid Night event at Water Cloud Space in Magic City.
An annual event that would probably bring in another twenty billion.
The trouble with being too rich is just that, even spending money is not easy.
Thinking about it, he decided to visit Tengying Entertainment.
Yang Mi, who was completely financially independent, was no longer focusing all her attention on work, often traveling here and there.
As for Liu Yifei, who spent a decade flopping in the film industry, she still managed to make a comeback in TV dramas.
Zhao Liying had become the real queen of the drama realm, virtually any drama she starred in was bound to explode.
She had become a genuine gold lettered signboard in this field.
As for the other rising young stars.
Meng Ziyi was good-looking and had terrible singing skills with no other distinguishing features.
Zhou Ye had a top-tier moonlight visage but poor acting skills.
Adding to that, Phoenix Yang Chaoyue from the variety show background was on the same level as her.
Aside from crying, she was poor at everything else.
Tengying Entertainment was actually facing a generational talent gap.
The real performers were still from the old guard.
Chen Pingsheng called these young stars together, each one standing in line obediently.
She is pretty, but her acting is undeniably terrible.
"I say, Meng Ziyi, we've known each other for nearly five years now, right?"
"Boss, it's been four years and three months."
Meng Ziyi couldn't understand why the big boss had called her in after arriving, especially after looking at Yeye and Yang Chaoyue beside her.
She instantly felt a bit more confident.
Although she couldn't compare with Zhao Liying, how could she not compare with Yang Mi and Yeye?
With these two here, she has nothing to fear.
"Hmm, you do have a good memory."
Chen Pingsheng glared at her, Meng Ziyi was known for wearing tight jeans year-round, highlighting her perky butt and big chest.
"You still have the nerve to say we've known each other for five years, what's going on with you? You've acted in so many films and your acting is still the same as before, not only hasn't it improved, but there's even a declining trend."
"Boss, Sister Yang Chaoyue is still here."
"Um… she's even worse!"
Chen Pingsheng asked her to go out and reflect on herself; if this continued, she could only be a variety show personality.
Zhou Ye still had the audacity to laugh.
Despite having the face of a top celebrity in the entertainment industry, albeit with no breasts or butt.
But her face really works, it's a pity that her acting is terrible.
Not to mention Yang Chaoyue, who became popular from his own trainee competition.
While winning countless fans, her acting has always been just staring blankly.
The only somewhat decent one is Shen Wanning, who genuinely became a movie star.
Although she can't support the box office alone, she's still not bad.
To be a main character in the entertainment industry, looks are the primary requirement, and only then comes acting.
These few are blessed with extraordinary beauty but unfortunate that they just can't make it big.
They are miles away from the stages of Zhao Liying, Liu Yifei, and Yang Mi.
Even with heavy investments, they can't reach that level.
Luckily, in movies, there are still Wu Jing, Shen Teng, and Chen Sicheng holding up the fort.
Otherwise, the market value of Tengying Entertainment could be very mysterious.
As one of the earliest founded entertainment groups, it certainly cannot fall because of this.
Hope has to rely on Zhao Liying, Liu Yifei extending a few more years.
This side also needs to cultivate some truly skilled actresses.
Chen Pingsheng called Bai Xin, telling her that acting training must be taken seriously.
Training programs also need to be started immediately.
For old hands like Meng Ziyi and Zhou Ye who keep giving blank stares, they must be strictly disciplined.
Without strict measures, they might never reach the heights of Zhao Liying.
These entertainment industry matters, he's not exactly a professional in everything, he can only adopt survival of the fittest to eliminate batch after batch.
Fortunately, Tengying Art School is continuously cultivating talents.
To foster a star, it takes at least three years and at most seven or eight years.
Most people never become famous in their lifetime.
Whereas to create an internet celebrity, with good luck, it's an overnight success.
Slowly, it only takes about three to five months.
The earning abilities of top-tier stars and top-tier internet celebrities are actually quite similar.
When compared, it's clear that nurturing internet celebrities is more cost-effective.
Meng Ziyi, this girl can't become a top-class star, but if she becomes an internet celebrity, with her beauty, she could easily outshine everyone.
If she continues to act in flops, might as well let her become a top-tier internet celebrity.
It's not surprising that Chen Pingsheng thinks this way, fostering a top-tier star is simply too hard.
A little fame requires promotion by others; great fame really depends on fate.
Types like Liu Yifei are a product of their times; it's too difficult to cultivate female stars of her caliber again.
Rather than that, it's better to let them walk the path of internet celebrities, honestly making money by promoting goods.
It's not surprising Chen Pingsheng thinks this way, it's rather their own lack of competitiveness.
Chen Pingsheng stayed at Tengying Entertainment for an afternoon, then returned to his Tengying Group.
The transformation of the group, including asset restructuring, was all complete.
Even if Tengying Entertainment's stock price dropped to within eight billion, it wouldn't affect him much.
After all, he cashed out early when shares were high, now only left with the last 10%.
That's nowhere near the quick appreciation of some stocks he invested in now.
No matter what changes occur in the next few years, Tengying Group will still remain stable as ever.
