Chapter 179: Chapter 155 Yang Mi's Shock
Today is a good day to make money.
Chen Pingsheng got up early, changing into a brand-new Armani suit.
He also wore a Patek Philippe Nautilus on his wrist. Visit us at m-vlem,pyr
In middle age, charm entirely depends on one's assets.
With just a slight effort on his part, his ordinary looks were backed by the standard charm of a sophisticated uncle.
The Splendid Night event starts at six in the evening.
It's pretty similar to the previous event, only this time a bit more money was splashed out.
Yang Mi and her group were already at the hotel, just waiting for his signal to go on stage and perform.
The other celebrities were also about ready.
With less than eight hours to opening, every intern beautician from the Water Cloud Space Beauty Academy had arrived at the venue.
The opening dance would be performed by them.
The Dance of Water, which they had been training for a month, was a showcase of youthful vibrance.
All women are made of water.
Later, following a passionate speech by the host, those ultra-A clients would swipe their cards a few times more.
The entire event amounted to an expenditure of around 150 million.
It was unprecedented in its splendor.
However, as long as they could pull in seven or eight hundred million, it would be a profit-laden success.
Not only did all the folks from Water Cloud Space turn up, but Tengying Entertainment also took a day off to join the fun.
After all, it's just another idle fish company; taking one day or ten days off doesn't make much difference.
All fifteen opened Water Cloud Spaces collectively took the day off too.
The beauticians from each store were there to take care of their respective high-end clients they had invited.
Stars were just a gimmick; the key was to make money for their business.
By noon, the food was all prepared and packaged by Fei Yangyang and sent over.
At five in the afternoon, after Chen An'an finished school, she came scurrying over.
When it was six, Splendid Night officially began.
A series of stunning fireworks lit up the sky above the vast Olympic Basketball Gymnasium, and the surrounding big screens came to life.
Song Yanxi, dressed in a red gown, looking both beautiful and cool, started the show.
The TV hostess standing beside her paled in comparison.
Song Yanxi herself announced the start of Water Cloud Space's end-of-year event.
The first dance segment, performed by 108 intern beauticians, was the Dance of Water.
Next, Mr. Bird jumped out and sang "Gangnam Style," igniting the crowd.
The backup dancers were brought by him.
Out of all the stars, he was the priciest one.
He sang with the most passion, and everyone from Tengying Entertainment, whether it was Bai Xin or the beauticians from Water Cloud Space, got caught up in the fiery atmosphere and started dancing along.
Then, after his energetic performance of five songs, the same top sales presenter from last time took the stage.
In just five minutes, she was selling an anti-aging project ranging from 980,000 to 1.98 million.
Whoever wanted to pay, beauticians nearby immediately went over.
It was all well-prepared in advance, and the card swiping was quite enthusiastic.
The second on stage was King Li.
In the golden '90s, which woman hadn't been smitten by him?
What he sold next was the Eternal Youth project, focusing on facial care.
Very high-end.
If women were to do it regularly, those at forty could look almost the same as those twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old girls.
No facial wrinkles, and certainly no forehead lines.
Beautiful women are all about maintenance.
If you don't take care of yourself, by thirty-five your bloom is almost over.
This time, Water Cloud Space's high-end clients numbered over five thousand.
Whether it's a big or small card, they would all swipe at some point.
Chen Pingsheng, hiding in a corner, watched as the day's cumulative income kept rising.
He was all smiles.
He was counting on this income for next year's major investment in Tenghui Department Store.
It truly deserved the half-year preparation.
The effect was much stronger than last time.
The entire star-studded concert went on until eleven at night, with various sales and card-swiping sessions interspersed throughout.
Let's be honest, isn't this better than staying home watching the New Year's Eve Gala?
[Ding, congratulations to the host, today's cumulative income is 420 million, would you like to open the random multiplier?]
Not bad at all, the total transaction volume is 780 million, minus the 150 million funds for this event.
After subtracting the eighty million for product costs, that makes it 560 million.
Now that he personally owns 75% of Water Cloud Space, that comes out to be 420 million.
"Activate."
The critical moment arrived; with Golden Finger upgraded to LV3, the system multiplier was now between 2 to 6 times.
A golden dice rolls and tumbles.
Chen Pingsheng used a hint of the Law of Universal Attraction, hoping with all his might for it to land on the glinting number six.
Getting even one extra point meant several small goals achieved.
You can't imagine the tension.
The wobbling Golden Dice finally stopped, looking like a two, and then it rolled just a bit more.
"Congratulations to the host, you have received a threefold random amplification."
"Ding, your Alipay account has received…"
It paused for a few seconds; Chen Pingsheng wondered if Golden Finger was automatically laundering the money, and after five seconds.
"Your Alipay account has received one billion two hundred sixty million."
Secure, comforting.
The money he'd earned from Hua Qiangu had long been spent.
Now with this new windfall, he could finally do quite a lot more.
It wasn't until the event was completely over that Chen Pingsheng, under the watchful eyes of everyone, left with his family's spoiled brat.
His wife dealt with the numerous follow-up matters.
On New Year's Day, January the first, Capital City's temperature dropped below ten degrees again, necessitating wearing a thick down jacket to go outside.
