Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 170 Mr. Jiang’s “Good Friend” (Happy New Year to Everyone)
Layoffs and salary cuts are unlikely to happen in Jiangbei City.

He believes in his own catering concept. If this model cannot work in China, it can only be said that the catering industry is rotten to the core. He will simply close the store and exit the industry.

Jiang Beicheng knew Shen Jun’s worries.

Maintaining stable cash flow by cutting salaries is just a drop in the bucket.

With the system in place, Jiangbei City doesn't have to worry about cash flow at all.

Take a big step forward.

If the profit is considerable, some of it will be distributed to the employees.

Now employees’ happiness and joy will also be recorded by the system.

After finishing his work at the company, Jiang Beicheng drove home, changed his clothes, went to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of Macallan 25-year-old whiskey, and went to the retro tavern opened by Luo Xiaohei.

A few friends from Dali came over today.

Come over, sit down, have a drink and catch up.

Ride your own Harley and go out.

At the door of Luo Xiaohei Music Bar, we saw Da Bing’s Bombardier tricycle.

Almost everyone in the motorcycle veteran circle knows this reverse tricycle because its owner is Da Bing.

Jiang Beicheng is a famous host and best-selling author. He has no comment on whether his writing is good or not, as he has never bought and read his books. However, he is a very righteous person in private and is very famous in the "Dali Gang" circle.

During the time Jiang Beicheng was living in Yunnan, he often hung out with Luo Xiaohei and Da Bing, drinking coffee in the afternoon and whiskey in the evening.

Later, when I entered Tibet from Yunnan, I walked for a while with Da Bing and others.

We are friends with similar interests.

Jiang Beicheng walked into the tavern carrying wine.

The waiters and beverage managers of the tavern respectfully addressed him as "Mr. Xiao Jiang!"

Jiang Beicheng nodded.

Luo Xiaohei waved to him from the booth.

Jiang Beicheng walked over with a smile.

Folk singers Lei Zi and Zhang Weiwei are also here today.

Zhao Lei and Da Bing have a deep bond. It can be said that it was Da Bing who accepted him when he was at his worst.

Now he is one of the best folk singers in the country.

Zhang Weiwei is a folk singer with relatively long experience. She was once a member of China's first folk band Wild Kids. Together with Song Dongye, Wan Xiaoli, Xiaohe... they are the representatives of a generation of folk music.

The song "Rice Shop" he composed is regarded as a milestone work in Chinese folk music.

There is a phrase in the folk song circle to describe "Rice Shop". March of every year belongs to the rice shop, which also echoes a line in the song.

The two of them are definitely very influential figures in the domestic folk music circle.

There were also two Harley veterans there.

I've seen it in Jiangbei City.

"Mr. Jiang." The tavern owner Luo Xiaohei stood up to greet him.

Everyone turned around and looked towards Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and hugged Da Bing, "Brother Bing, long time no see."

"You've become more handsome again, Mr. Jiang." Da Bing smiled and patted Jiang Beicheng's shoulder.

"Young girls nowadays like your image as a wise uncle."

"Wise isn't a good word right now."

The two joked around a bit.

"Teacher Zhao Lei, Teacher Zhang Weiwei." Jiang Beicheng politely addressed them using the respectful titles of Jiangnan City.

Zhang Weiwei: "Mr. Jiang, long time no see."

Zhao Lei: "Mr. Jiang, nice to meet you."

Jiang Beicheng shook hands with the two men and hugged the two Harley veterans from Dali.

"Xiao Hei, this is your fault. You even asked Xiao Jiang to bring his own wine."

A group of friends joked.

Xiao Hei took the whiskey that Jiang Beicheng brought, opened it, and said, “Mr. Jiang’s taste cannot be matched by my tavern.

The Macallan 30.

Everyone at the table smiled.

Macallan 25 and 30-year-old whiskeys are known as the Hermes in this circle. The market price is to yuan. In bars and high-end shopping malls, the price is generally three times that, heading towards yuan.

This retro tavern is not suitable for selling such expensive whiskey.

Chivas, Yamazaki, Penfolds, low-vintage… these whiskies priced in the thousands are more popular. Da Bing joked, "I'm drinking with Mr. Xiao Jiang again today."

During their stay in Dali, the friends were deeply impressed by the extravagance of Jiangbei City.

The most active buyer.

Mainly a joy.

As long as the moment we get together to play is happy, this item is worth buying.

"Mr. Jiang, when you go back to Dali, several of our old friends want to invite you to go hiking together."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "There's a chance."

Luo Xiaohei opened the wine, poured it for everyone, and raised his glass, saying, "Everyone, let's toast to Mr. Jiang. Thank you for your expense."

Everyone at the table raised their glasses.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Welcome to Jiangnan City.

The food and accommodation for these two days have been arranged, have fun.

You're not leaving tomorrow, are you?"

Da Bing said, "Lei Zi is leaving for a music festival performance."

"Teacher Zhao Lei is busy with work, so I won't try to keep you. Let's find an opportunity to make an appointment next time." Jiang Beicheng and Zhao Lei clinked their glasses.

We drank some wine and chatted for a while, catching up on the past.

There were more guests in the evening.

Zhang Weiwei and Zhao Lei went up to perform a few songs for their friends, as an apology for not being able to attend the grand opening celebration.

Da Bing also went up and played the drums as accompaniment.

This retro bistro is packed with stars tonight.

A group of friends from the underworld circle gathered together to have some fun.

Luo Xiaohei didn't ask Zhao Lei and Zhang Weiwei to work too hard, just a token of their appreciation would be enough.

Both of them paid for their appearance, and he was very grateful that they could come to the pub to help save the scene today.

Zhao Lei sang two songs, "Ideal" and "I Remember".

Zhang Weiwei sang her famous song "Rice Shop".

There was no publicity, it was all just support from friends, and the customers who came to the pub today made a good deal.

After the two of them exchanged glances, they handed the stage over to the resident singer.

When Zheng Jiamin arrived, she saw Jiang Beicheng was there too.

He was also drinking and chatting with two musicians he respected in a booth.

Her first reaction was that Mr. Jiang had too many connections.

However, she came here to sing because she was introduced by Mr. Jiang. She knew that the owner of the pub, Luo Xiaohei, was a member of the Dali Gang, so it was normal for Da Bing and the others to appear in the pub to drink.

"Mr. Jiang." Zheng Jiamin walked over and immediately called out.

Jiang Beicheng introduced everyone at the table, "My good friend Zheng Jiamin, the alto singer I just mentioned to you.

Teacher Zhang Weiwei, Teacher Zhao Lei, please give us your comments from a professional perspective.

Her love and dedication to music reminds me of the older generation of folk musicians."

Zheng Jiamin is not good at speaking and expressing herself or communicating, but she is smart.

I know that Jiang Beicheng is introducing her to people in the circle and giving her guidance.

If she could get recognition and appreciation from these seniors, it would be of great help to her musical development.

But what made her happiest was that Jiang Beicheng said in front of so many people that she was his "good friend".

These three words are of great value to her.

Zhang Weiwei gave face to her friend Jiang Beicheng and encouraged Zheng Jiamin, "I look forward to your performance."

They are also planning to discover new folk singers, hoping that Chinese folk music can gain new vitality and become more well-known.

This plan was initiated by Lao Lang, a big brother in the circle.

Zheng Jiamin raised a glass of wine and toasted: "Thank you, teacher."

He drank it in one gulp, without saying anything more.

Da Bing was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said with a smile, "A girl with a unique personality.

Mr. Xiao Jiang spoke so highly of her, and I am also looking forward to her voice.

If we met a talented musician here today, we would definitely be willing to help her.”
