Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Song Yanxi also came out to see the new car her husband had just bought for her.

The soft-top Rolls-Royce wasn't as cool as the LaFerrari.

But it was definitely easier to drive, and very comfortable to sit in.

The turning heads rate was pretty much one hundred percent.

She really liked it.

She even test drove it near her house before calling the whole family to come in for a meal.

Chen Pingsheng told her, "Tomorrow is the National Day. I plan to go to the inner second ring to check out a Siheyuan."

"Has the money from Hua Qiangu arrived?"

"It has," Chen Pingsheng said. "We've bought all kinds of houses, the only thing missing is a Siheyuan."

"Siheyuans in the inner second ring cost several hundred million now, right?"

"It depends on the location. Prices near Nanluo Gu Alley are the highest. They're generally over a hundred million."

The price of Siheyuan was still rising. By 14, property prices within the second ring were around seventy thousand per square meter.

Buying a Siheyuan was both for personal use and as an investment property.

Chen Pingsheng planned to buy a slightly bigger one, at least over four hundred square meters.

Preferably one with four courtyards and as many exits.

Chen An'an was excited to go along, and Chen Pingsheng had to bring her along.

Spoiled brat, let's give you a taste of the grandeur of days gone by.

Chen Pingsheng laughed out a "keke" sound.

Song Yanxi also mentioned to him that nine Water Cloud Space branches had opened on the same day, and their family now had fourteen branches in Capital City.

She had previously spent a hundred million to buy equipment overseas.

To think of investing further in Water Cloud Space, she estimated she'd have to wait until December.

Chen Pingsheng felt it was unnecessary: "I can still provide a hundred million for you. With this hundred million, we can't open any more Water Cloud Spaces in Capital City."

Their investments in Capital City's Water Cloud Space, including the newly allocated hundred million.

Already amounted to nearly three hundred million.

In addition, the money for importing instruments for the academy in just a year and a half rose to around five hundred million in high-end beauty investments.

Even Jiang Peiyao only found out today that their total investment in Water Cloud Space significantly exceeded that in Tengying.

It wasn't something that could be compared at all.

After allocating this sum, Chen Pingsheng had about three hundred fifty million left.

That was more than enough for him to pick out properties.

Whatever remained after buying properties would be invested in Tengying.

Investing in movies was much more complex than in TV dramas as it involved many different aspects.

Distribution, release, promotion, etc.

It can be said that almost every major film is invested in by several companies to secure a smooth release and good screen time.

Out of the many films made in one year, only a few really make money.

He felt that an annual investment of one to two hundred million in movies was more than sufficient.

Better to invest selectively in the most profitable ventures rather than indiscriminately.

An average investment scarcely seems better than buying property.

At least those properties they hoarded last year in Capital City were already worth around three hundred million.

Bought for just one hundred thirty million.

More than doubled in just over a year.

Song Yanxi herself loved buying properties too, and initially wanted to go with him to look.

Chen Pingsheng told her it was unnecessary. They weren't going to buy on the first day, and even after picking one, he would definitely tell her first.

The Siheyuan was destined to be the most expensive property their family would buy in Capital City.

Before making the payment, they would definitely take his wife for a visit.

Jiang Peiyao, on break for National Day, did not plan to return to her hometown, so she would stay with them temporarily.

Bai Xin and Jiang Yilei had already bought tickets to go home, and staying in the dorm alone wasn't much fun.

The next day was the first day of the National Day.

Capital City saw many tourists from other places, but they usually concentrated within the second ring.

Their location, closer to the fourth ring than to the fifth, didn't see many people.

Most people had gone traveling.

Chen An'an got up early since she knew her dad was going to look at Siheyuan in the second ring, and she got a bit cheeky.

Ultimately, she was chubby.

She also wore a Leica camera she bought herself around her neck, a bit big but she wasn't thin.

The market price of the little Leica was one hundred ten thousand, hanging around her neck, it looked like a large toy.

That was her unique talent, turning anything she picked up into something you'd find at a street stall.

Just like these beggar pants, if you didn't look closely, they really seemed like something only a beggar would wear.

They were a nine thousand pair from a big brand.

According to spoiled brat herself, she called it being fashionable.

According to Chen Pingsheng, it was simply a disaster.

"Dad, which car are we driving out in today?"

Hand in hand with her dad, and with Jiang Peiyao by her side tasked with watching over Chen An'an.

"Which car do you want to ride in?" Chen Pingsheng asked with a mysterious smile, which felt quite ominous.

Chen An'an tilted her head and thought, "The Rolls-Royce we bought yesterday is fine. It's such nice weather, let's roam around in it."

"Let's forget it. That Rolls-Royce isn't big enough. I'm afraid it won't fit you. Come on, your dad has specially picked out a bigger car for you."

Chen An'an's eyes lit up, her imagination already running wild — typical for her age, rich in imagination but not so much in practical concerns.

The three of them walked outside.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen An'an was dazed.

They boarded a bus, and it was quite crowded.

Chen An'an looked at her dad, perplexed: "Dad, is this the big car you mentioned?"

"Yeah, isn't a bus big enough?"

Chen Pingsheng, holding the safety rail, chuckled.

A sudden brake came, and Chen An'an lurched forward, truly upset now.

"Dad, even if we don't drive the new Rolls-Royces we bought, riding in your Maybach would have been okay. Do we, father and daughter, really need to take the bus?"
