Chapter 700: Chapter 508: Danger and Running a Red Light

Tengying Entertainment had all of its artists re-sign contracts for ten years.

Unlike before, the penalties for breaking the contract this time are frighteningly high.

Barring any accidents, Tengying Entertainment can remain stable for at least another ten years.

Moreover, with the new contracts, it is clear that Tengying Entertainment has taken the lead in abandoning traffic-driven artists.

Works featuring traffic-driven artists will basically no longer receive large investments.

More crucially, all these traffic-driven artists are pushed to live-stream sales; only if they bring in significant profits will Tengying consider investing in some major productions for them.

The advantage of doing this is very obvious.

That is, to resolve the financial crisis of the past two years and directly boost shareholder confidence through the live-sales sector.

Whether those traffic-driven artists like it or not, as soon as the news came out, Tengying Entertainment’s stock price soared.

Returning to a market capitalization of 160 billion is just around the corner.

…

In mid-December.

Tengfei New Energy released sensational news.

A hundred Tengfei P6 new energy vehicles, after a six-month test spanning 50,000 kilometers.

Officially passed all tests completely, even though numerous detail issues were found during this period, they were all rectified within the half-year.

What’s more, after half a year of promotions at major concerts and support from the World Cup.

Tengfei Automobile is now well-known globally.

The super-factory began mass production, with the initial batch set at 20,000 units.

Chen Pingsheng set a modest target for Tengfei New Energy: a sales plan of 100,000 units for the whole of 2019.

At present, it’s not possible to sell too many, mainly because new energy vehicles still make up too small a share of the overall market.

They only account for 5% of the car market.

This is also with more than a dozen new car-making forces entering, making the target of selling 100,000 units in the first year not too low.

Chen Pingsheng was in good spirits; after investing over a hundred billion and working on Tengfei New Energy for more than three years, mass production was finally realized.

In Old Jia’s mind, this was nearly impossible.

He’s the first to say that making cars is harder than landing on the moon.

All these years later, Old Jia is still out there raising funds abroad, that’s quite something.

Just waiting for Tengfei New Energy to truly succeed, then he will be more than an ordinary business magnate.

But a tech tycoon, and the value implied is clearly different.

Chen Pingsheng, in high spirits, couldn’t care about the chilly December temperature and rolled down the car window, just as a motorcycle beauty clad in a black bodysuit happened to stop beside him.

She had a great figure and long hair that reached her waist, also wearing a white helmet.

Without asking, one could tell the rider of such a motorcycle in Magic City must be rich.

Firstly, getting a license plate is expensive; secondly, it’s normal that decent motorcycles cost hundreds of thousands.

Chen Pingsheng even took the initiative to greet her, “Beauty, your motorcycle looks pretty cool!”

No matter what he drove, when it comes to the time to pick up kids, traffic congestion is inevitable.

The motorcycle beauty turned her head to glance at him, “Not expensive, just over four hundred thousand.”

“Oh, so your family must be quite wealthy, huh? No matter how expensive motorcycles are, an accident could leave you seriously injured or worse.”

Chen Pingsheng advised, “Young lady, it’s best to play less with such dangerous things.”

Yang Ziqi gave him a dismissive look and immediately didn’t want to talk anymore.

He really didn’t understand the fun of young people.

“Dude, just focus on being your Phantom Driver. Bye-bye.”

Yang Ziqi revved up and sped off.

Chen Pingsheng also waited for the green light. If there’s one downside to driving a Big Phantom,

it’s that it easily makes people mistake you for a driver.

Never mind. He’d try using the car as a Didi driver someday.

As before, first pick up the spoiled brat, then Erya.

His wife was busy hosting Splendid Night in Capital City, and she probably wouldn’t be home much this month.

Picking up the kids from school, the honorable task has fallen upon him once again.

Chen An’an now focuses on studying after school, but Erya is different; she’s either live streaming or dragging someone to help her shoot short videos.

As for Little Third, Chen Lu, she’s not even two years old.

She’s still being taken care of by her grandmothers. Only when she’s old enough for kindergarten will they bring her to their side.

In the evening, Chen Pingsheng had Liu Fen and Peng Ying come down to watch the two girls, while he went out to drive as a Didi driver for an hour.

This is something he has to keep doing regularly.

After giving it some thought, he actually registered the Phantom, putting it directly under the luxury car category.

The fare is a bit higher than the average car, and there are quite a few people who specifically choose luxury cars.

He starts from The Bund, and the first passenger he picks up is a middle-aged man.

This guy sure knows what’s up, not only does he express his amazement as soon as he gets in the car.

He also asks for his number, saying that he’ll call him next time he has guests, so he can pick them up specifically.

He wants to use his Phantom to show off to his clients!

Without a doubt, Chen Pingsheng refuses. After he finishes this trip, he happens to run into Chen Tan’s sister, Chen Sai.

She’s actually running a red light, looking worried that she’ll be late.

Chen Pingsheng wanted to greet her, but she rode too fast, and he didn’t get the chance.

He only picks up two passengers a day, then heads home.

The first trip is mundane, but the second one is a bit more of a coincidence.

He picks up Yang Ziqi, who’s dressed in a leather racing outfit, at the entrance of a hotel.

Seeing it was him, Yang Ziqi also smiles.

“Yo, Uncle, quite the coincidence!”

“It’s you, eh? Why aren’t you riding a motorcycle today?”

“I had some drinks, can’t ride!”

Yang Ziqi gets in the car and doesn’t inspect it with the same curiosity as the previous person.

Obviously, she must be used to riding in Rolls-Royces.

“Uncle, using your boss’s car to pick up passengers, won’t your boss say anything?”

“Just an old car, what can the boss say?”

“Hehe, you really can bluff, I’ve never heard anyone call a Phantom an old car before!”

Yang Ziqi has a pretty good personality. She’s a senior at Magic City’s top art school.

It’s certain she comes from a wealthy family, but she doesn’t have the spoiled temperament typical of rich second generations.

Mainly because her parents only started to get wealthy when she was in her teens.

She wasn’t born into wealth.

The difference is like that between Chen An’an and Erya.

When Erya was born, he was already wealthy.

No matter how he educates, Er Ya can’t comprehend the word ‘poor.’

In her understanding, the concept of poverty simply doesn’t exist.

“A car, no matter how good, is just a means of transportation.”

Chen Pingsheng doesn’t dwell on this topic with her, instead, he turns his head and asks.

“It’s this late, and you’re still heading to a bar, no need to go home?”

“Some classmates are over there, Uncle, you wouldn’t understand the world of us young people!”

“Indeed I don’t.”

Chen Pingsheng realizes he has a serious generation gap with these post-95s, so he doesn’t ask further.

After dropping her off, Yang Ziqi thanks him and heads straight for the bar.

When he returns, he doesn’t see Chen Sai.

He wanted to remind her not to run red lights when it’s not necessary; risking danger like that for a bit of money really isn’t worth it.

The key point is, if you get hit by a car, the car driver is hardly responsible.
