Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

She still held a little rattle drum in her hand, shaking it while laughing.

"Dad, you said I'd grow up to be a female CEO, but what will Xinyi be when she grows up?"

"She's still so young, let's wait until she's your age to discuss that."

"That sounds good." Chen An'an giggled, "I need to start nurturing her domineering spirit from now."

"Oh, please, you're not teaching Xinyi all that nonsense."

"Then I must at least teach her the Praying Mantis Fist, my secret technique."

"You better perfect it to the ninety-ninth level first."

The spoiled brat just had no awareness.

Always believing she had a natural talent for martial arts, she wanted to set up a martial arts stage for her once they returned to their rural hometown.

Maybe let those little kids, who grew up wild in the countryside, teach her some life lessons.

City kids are often too pampered, nothing like those from the countryside.

This year, my older sister's family will definitely return as well, plus our big family.

We'll need to buy another big Mercedes-Benz V-Class, the most comfortable for long drives.

Just like last year, it will be a journey home combined with a vacation.

Might as well take the newborn to see the beautiful landscapes.

As Chen Pingsheng thought this, he still decided to discuss it with Song Yanxi that evening.

This year's trip home was again planned for a month.

The spoiled brat would depart once her vacation started and return when school began.

After this year, next summer, they likely would move to the Siheyuan within the second ring road.

By then, he also needed to transfer Chen An'an to a better school.

With her grades, it probably wouldn't matter which school she attended.

She'd simply once again rise from being the third from the bottom to the top.

After that, he'd no longer need to worry about her falling behind.

How wonderful that would be.

...

Mid-November.

The CEO class started as scheduled.

Around twenty middle-aged CEOs gathered once again.

If there was anyone who had changed the most over the past month, it was undoubtedly Wang Yanfeng.

As a top domestic rich second generation, he already had substantial popularity online.

Now, he had targeted an opportunity and launched a large live streaming platform.

Unlike Chang Fu's approach, which depended on other streaming platforms for survival, Wang Yanfeng's venture was directly establishing a platform-based live streaming app.

Aiming to become the biggest network platform in the streaming industry.

From its inception, it had spent a fortune to recruit numerous famous hosts.

Among them, one particularly well-known host, familiar to many guys, came from Kimchi Country.

Park Nima, who had a very popular live streaming video on domestic short video platforms back in 2012.

Wearing a police hat, biting a ribbon, her endlessly seductive allure was something those who saw, understood.

And crucially, her clothes were becoming fewer and fewer.

You know what I mean.

Fueled by Wang Yanfeng's own online popularity, Male Cat Platform had attracted significant interest from major capital firms upon its launch.

It showed signs of becoming one of the top three in the live streaming industry.

Wang Yanfeng was beaming, speaking directly and not concealing his pride.

He even mockingly called Chen Pingsheng petty for running a milk tea shop!

Putting aside everything else, everyone in their class possessed fortunes worth billions.

With such a status, the only one still thinking of running a milk tea shop was Chen Pingsheng.

"Chen Pingsheng, next time our class goes out to eat, you might as well sit at the kids' table."

The guy was riding high on success.

Male Cat Platform had just launched and was already valued at two billion; he really had the capital to be arrogant.

However, Chen Pingsheng never believed he could handle it well.

The reason was simple, if live streaming platforms were to really grow big.

The BAT would not stand by idly, given the current momentum of Penguin and Alibaba.

Before this industry even began to thrive, they'd let these smaller players stir up some noise.

Once it grew, Penguin would enter the scene directly.

He didn't know what Old Wang's kid could use to compete with Penguin.

Of course, in commercial real estate, the Old Wang family had the final say, but in internet endeavors, he hadn't yet seen a company that could rival BAT.

Either join them or shut down.

Pick one!

"Little Wang, don't get too smug, at least I can make a steady profit from my milk tea, but don't lose your shirt with Male Cat."

"You're talking nonsense."

Wang Yanfeng snorted at him, and it was well known that their relationship was the worst in the class.

He simply didn't believe he could lose money running a live streaming business.

Chen Pingsheng didn't bother with him. There were not only him making major moves in class. Liu Hai had secured a piece of land worth 2.8 billion in the north.

He planned to build a high-end villa community on that land.

Tong Zelan left an international investment bank and established Honglan Capital in Magic City.

In less than a month, she had invested in over a dozen projects.

Among them was his Bobo Milk Tea.

And He Bijing, who raised pigs, made a fortune from the nationwide increase in pork prices.

With the shared economy, BAT had already entered it personally, and the concept extended beyond just bicycles to include umbrellas, power banks, and even silicone dolls were becoming popular.

Huang Bin, focusing on the shared economy, reached a valuation of three billion from his D round.

But those weren't all, the stock market overall was on the rise, and even a janitor could make money blindly investing in stocks.

Stock market, real estate, hotels, tourism, the internet, and more were all booming.

Just when the economy was flourishing, something shocking occurred in the business community at home.

Li Ka-shing, known as the God of Investments in Xiangjiang, shockingly accelerated his withdrawal from domestic real estate that year.

Many might not comprehend how legendary Li Ka-shing was. Engaging in diversified industries meant not just risk-free, but literally but whatever he did, he made money from it.

Whenever Xiangjiang's real estate market plummeted, he successfully bottom-fished every time.
