Chapter 44: Chapter 43: Water Cloud Space Light Luxury

He had suddenly become wealthy.

Next, he didn’t plan to operate daily.

Instead, following tradition, he would open once every seven days, thrilling four times a month; every day was a good day.

With continuous good news on his side, his sister Chen Qi had finally managed to invite her former manager over.

She was a 28-year-old young woman. The reason she was considered young was mainly due to her petite appearance, not seeming like the type of decisive leader.

The phrase “do not judge a book by its cover” had been fully proven by Mr. Ma.

It had taken over a month for Chen Qi to arrange a meeting with her.

According to her introduction, the girl had started learning beauty care at sixteen.

By seventeen, she had become an A-level beautician, essentially a pillar of the salon.

In the following three years, she worked her way up from beautician to consultant, manager, and now to the manager of a renowned beauty salon in Sha City.

Her annual salary was around three hundred thousand.

After hearing several times from Chen Qi about her brother’s plan to invest in a beauty salon, and offering her a 20% ownership stake just for her involvement, she was intrigued.

The beauty salon business was undoubtedly very profitable.

Having worked in Sha City for many years without receiving shares in the salon, since the owner flatly refused to distribute shares to employees like her,

she naturally also harbored thoughts of switching jobs or starting her own business.

As the saying goes, “seeing is believing.”

No matter how eloquently Chen Qi described the opportunity, it wasn’t as convincing as seeing it for oneself.

Taking advantage of a vacation, she came.

“Chun,”

“Little Qi,”

Chen Qi used to be the receptionist at her salon, a very outgoing and articulate person who got along well with everyone.

Yet, over the years, she had never heard about her having such a wealthy brother.

The one who came to pick her up was not Chen Pingsheng, but Song Yanxi, who was more interested in investing in the beauty salon.

She drove a convertible Bentley.

This was also suggested by Chen Qi, as a Bentley impresses at first glance, and at second, it screams wealth.

Seeing Chen Qi arriving in a convertible Bentley, Zhou Chun no longer doubted that her brother was wealthy.

“You must be Zhou Chun. I’m Yanxi, Little Qi’s sister-in-law, Song Yanxi.”

Song Yanxi introduced herself proactively, smiling very affably.

After she had Zhou Chun take the passenger seat, she made Chen Qi squeeze into the back.

That’s the downside of sports cars, just enough room for two, any more and one had to squeeze in the back.

The space in the back was not generous, barely enough to stretch one’s legs.

Song Yanxi planned to invite her to dinner first, but Chen Qi suggested they first visit her brother’s company.

To meet her brother and then discuss.

Zhou Chun knew herself well: she came from a poor family background and had been more competitive than anyone since entering society.

If it was about making money, she could go three days and three nights without sleep.

But if you talked to her about trivial matters, a few polite responses were considered courtesies.

She had many beauticians under her, most of whom would follow her lead.

It could be said that securing her alone would essentially get the beauty salon up and running.

The Tengsheng Group headquarters now wasn’t like before, a little lion statue was placed at the entrance.

The emblem of the Tengsheng Group was very striking and formidable.

The CEO’s office of Pingsheng was still plain and simple, with no pretense of being a cultured person with stacks of books around.

He was okay with learning through videos, but reading made him a bit sleepy.

This wasn’t good; it had to change.

Despite changes, it remained the same.

“Brother,”

Chen Qi, pulling along Zhou Chun, introduced her, after all, she was from the high-end beauty industry, used to seeing wealthy people.

She wasn’t nervous at all.

Pingsheng always preferred being straightforward, not much for beating around the bush.

“My sister has told me about you several times. Today, I will take you to see a store I’m planning to invest in. If you agree, we can sign for the store right away.”

“Brother, how come I didn’t know you liked the store?”

“If I had told you, you would have immediately run off to Sha City.”

Chen Pingsheng then took them downstairs again, but this time they didn’t drive the sports car.

His Navigator was parked below.

A million-level, seven-seater car, just like a mobile sofa.

Chen Qi was still too young to grasp a person like Zhou Chun.

You should talk directly about making money with those who want to make money; talking about emotions is just nonsense.

It might work to fool a kid just out of society.

The store he looked at was also in Shijingshan, named Tianxiangge Top Luxury Beauty Salon.

Just by hearing the name, you knew you needed at least several tens of millions at home to even consider entering.

A young woman owned the store, an extremely beautiful one at that.

She spoke in a delicate, tender voice.

She was only 24 years old and always dressed in a rather sexy manner.

She was quite the flirt in her daily life.

Chen Pingsheng had only seen her once, but with his street-level expert eye, he was sure this woman didn’t come from a wealthy family.

Instead, she had a rich backer.

Someone gave her a card to spend freely, yet she couldn’t bear the loneliness and wanted to start a business.

So, she opened this store.

The total investment was eight million with a space of twelve hundred square meters.

This was no longer called a beauty salon but a high-end beauty club.

Inside, there wasn’t just a cafe for leisurely chats, but also a concert hall for afternoon teas.

A piano was placed there, and guests often performed.

The entire decor was ancient-style; the eighteen treatment rooms were all named after landscapes.

Lying there doing nothing, just gave one a feel of complete serenity.

Such a store truly deserved the name of a top luxury beauty salon.

“What do you think? If you are willing to bring your team here, we’ll hand over this store for you to manage. We won’t interfere with any specific management details except the finances.”

Chen Pingsheng said, “To be honest, the main reason is that my sister has been doing beautification for a few years. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made this investment. Now, it’s like fulfilling her dream and giving her a career of her own.”

Zhou Chun was so shocked this time that she was speechless; this store was more than just a notch above the one in Sha City.

It was simply a world of difference.

If this store was managed well, it would surely make four to five million a year.

“Then, forgive my directness, but such a store must have cost more than three million in investment, right?”

She had heard from Chen Qi before that her brother was planning to invest three million in beautification.

According to the scale of this store, three million was obviously not enough.

“Three million is just a figure. I talked to the woman owner, and she quoted six million. She is willing to take a loss of two million and let it go.”

Chen Pingsheng said, “I think six million is also acceptable. Moreover, my wife now likes beautification too. Opening a beauty salon also serves her, and as long as she’s happy, spending a few more million doesn’t matter.”

“Besides, apart from the six million, I will also provide one million in working capital for early marketing and product costs, so the total investment will be about seven million.”

Zhou Chun agreed without any hesitation.

After showing her the store and discussing the investment, she knew that such opportunities didn’t come every day.

Chen Qi was so excited; according to her sister-in-law, she would own a quarter share of this store.

If this worked out, she wouldn’t have to depend on her brother anymore.

Depending on herself was still acceptable.

As for his wife, Song Yanxi, having beautification done at her own place felt awesome.

It also sounded impressive when spoken of.

Zhou Chun didn’t stay in Capital City for too long, returning to Sha City the next day.

When she returned, she brought twelve young girls with her.

All beauticians.

All of them had been with her for several years.

Meanwhile, Chen Pingsheng quickly secured Tianxiangge and officially renamed it Water Cloud Space Luxury Beauty Salon.
