Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 208: Everyone at the table is a super second generation
"Coming soon, will be here in a few minutes."

"Who is this friend of Mr. Yuan? Why is he so difficult to invite?"

"From Jiangnan City? In the business community or the political world?"

"It's a rare opportunity for everyone to relax and unwind. Waiting here isn't a solution. How about I ask someone to come over and fill in the gaps?"

Yuan Ling smiled and said, "The weather is nice today, it's nice to sit down and drink some tea."

Several second-generation entrepreneurs from the Chamber of Commerce arranged a mahjong game. Yuan Ling thought of Jiangbei City, but he had been waiting for a while and Jiangbei City had not arrived yet.

Everyone has no patience anymore.

A moment later, Jiang Beicheng drove his Mercedes-Benz to the parking lot of the villa.

Yuan Ling smiled and stood up and said, "I'm here."

Go over and take it.

Jiang Beicheng parked the car and hurried over, "Sorry, everyone, I was busy this morning and couldn't get away. I just finished my work and rushed over after receiving Mr. Yuan's message.

Sorry for the long wait, today's consumption is on me."

The friends in the Chamber of Commerce are basically entrepreneurs and CEOs worth hundreds of millions of dollars. They don’t pay much attention to this little bit of spending, but being late is being late, and you have to show your attitude.

At dinner time in the evening, I had to drink a glass of wine as a punishment to express my apology.

Not only that, in today's card game, Jiang Beicheng also has to play some business and social cards.

These friends from the Chamber of Commerce have waited for you for so long, and if you still lose money, you will not feel very good.

Now that he has not yet entered that circle, Jiang Beicheng will not miss the opportunity to make friends with people in the circle.

But he will not be servile and flatter others. Their social status may be much higher than his, but in terms of wealth alone, these second-generation entrepreneurs may not be as rich as he is.

The system provides 4000 million yuan in living allowance per month, which is 4.8 million yuan per year. Even entrepreneurs and CEOs worth hundreds of millions of yuan find it difficult to take out so much cash from their own pockets.

What's more, the system can be upgraded.

Jiang Beicheng treated them as people of the same level in his heart, except that they had more etiquette and social skills.

I sat down at the tea table with Yuan Ling, had a few cups of tea, and got to know him first.

Yuan Ling introduced Jiang Beicheng and said, "Jiang Beicheng, the owner of Beicheng Hotel."

"I've heard of the North City Hotel. It's quite famous. Their heartwarming gesture on New Year's Eve was even reported by CCTV. I didn't expect the owner to be such a young talent. It's a pleasure to meet you, President Jiang."

Yuan Ling introduced Jiang Beicheng, "Zhang Zheng, you must have heard of his father's name."

Jiang Beicheng looked curious.

Yuan Ling said: "Sai Lisi."

Jiangbeicheng reacted instantly and realized that everyone in Jiangnan City should be familiar with the brand of SERES.

The market value has now soared to nearly 200 billion.

The company's sales of the Wenjie series are optimistic, especially the M7 and M9, which have performed well in the market of the same level.

The founder and chairman of SERES Group is Zhang Hai, and the Zhang Zheng in front of us should be his successor.

He is also one of the second generation of top entrepreneurs in Jiangnan City. His father's personal wealth exceeds 20 billion, which is twice that of Yuan Ling and his son.

It feels so good to hold on to Huawei.

You should know that before cooperating with Huawei, SERES entered the new energy market with annual sales of less than 800 vehicles, and they were low-end vehicles.

Now the total sales volume of the M50, a luxury electric car for home use in the RMB 9 range, has reached hundreds of thousands of units.

This year, he also appeared on CCTV.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and shook hands with Zhang Zheng: "Mr. Zhang, nice to meet you."

Zhang Zheng smiled and nodded.

The second-generation entrepreneur sitting on the right took the initiative to extend his hand to Jiang Beicheng, "Mr. Jiang, I've heard a lot about you. The cultural tourism market in Jiangnan City was so hot during the Spring Festival this year. You made a huge contribution."

Judging from what he said, he is very concerned about the cultural and tourism market and is probably engaged in it.

Yuan Ling introduced: "Peng Jun."

Jiang Beicheng reacted: "Mr. Peng from Century Cruise?
Mr. Peng, nice to meet you. I cannot bear your praise.

You are the main force of Jiangnan City’s cultural tourism industry.”

When talking about the tourism industry in Jiangnan City, the first private enterprise that comes to mind is Century Cruises owned by the Peng family and their son, which has been the leader in the tourism industry in Jiangnan City for many years.

The net worth of both father and son is close to 10 billion.

Today's game is truly a 10 billion yuan poker game, a gathering of the top second generation in Jiangnan City.

It would be interesting if the second generation of Zhifei Biological's entrepreneur was here today. The people at this table are the future of Jiangnan's private economy and they are the ones who hold up half the sky.

Among the four, Jiang Beicheng and Yuan Ling were born in the 90s, and the other two were born in the 85s, with little difference in age.

The older generation has their own circles, and the young people are also developing their own circles.

Peng Jun said modestly, "Catering and tourism are gradually merging into one. Mr. Jiang, let's communicate more privately."

"Learn from General Peng."

“Learn from each other.”

The two of them raised their teacups and toasted each other.

Yuan Ling asked curiously, "Didn't you say you could finish it by this morning? Why did it take until now?"

I've kept General Peng and General Zhang waiting for too long."

Jiang Beicheng said truthfully: "If the leader doesn't leave, I can't leave.

Deputy Mayor Tan led a team to the company for research, along with a group of department-level officials. I had to provide a good reception.”

Peng Jun said: “We have also received a notice, but we will come next Tuesday.

During the Spring Festival, Jiangnan City's cultural and tourism industry delivered a satisfactory response to the higher authorities, and the leaders should pay a visit."

What he didn't expect was that the Beicheng Hotel in Jiangbei City had become an enterprise that the municipal government paid close attention to.

Logically speaking, a company of this size doesn't need such a big show.

The team was led by Deputy Mayor Tan, who is in charge of culture and tourism, and was accompanied by a group of department-level cadres.

The General Jiang in front of us is not only famous, but must have some outstanding qualities that the government leaders appreciate.

Zhang Zheng smiled and said, "I didn't know that Mr. Jiang was receiving the leaders. I just complained a few words. Mr. Jiang, please forgive me."

"It's a small matter. I've kept you waiting for a long time." Jiang Beicheng said indifferently.

Zhang Zheng and Peng Jun had a good first impression of Jiangbei City.

He is well-known, humble, and has a bit of a common people vibe.

These days, there are really not many down-to-earth entrepreneurs and businessmen. They have been putting on airs for too long and can’t come down from them.

But the reality is that this type of entrepreneur and businessperson is very popular in the era of traffic, and it is very easy to build personal IP.

In the era of traffic, everyone is working towards this goal.

Including these second-generation entrepreneurs.

The four of them finally had a cup of tea and moved to the villa's private room for some entertainment.

"Mr. Jiang plays cards very well. He counts cards so accurately."

"My skills are decent, but my luck is a bit bad."

"Hahahaha, sorry, Mr. Jiang, this is the last eight, so I'm leaving first."

"Boss Jiang, play a Pong."

"Boss Jiang bets fifty thousand, and I'm going to go for it, even if it means spending the extra money."

"Mr. Jiang used up all his luck today in receiving the leaders."

"..."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and acted as if he didn't care. As long as everyone had fun, that was all that mattered.

Peng Jun, Zhang Zheng and Yuan Ling are old acquaintances and friends. As a newcomer to this circle, all the attention is on him.

The quality of a brand reflects its character.

It is not enough to just play the business card and the friendship card. Whether you win or lose money, everyone will see what you say and do.

You have to show your magnanimity.

We should blend into the happy atmosphere.

After this game, Jiang Beicheng left a deeper impression on the second generation of entrepreneurs.

Dinner is on the table, and it is time to test one's character.

A person’s character is revealed when he is drunk.

Jiangbei City's performance remains stable.

In fact, he didn't really like this kind of socializing, as it restricted his nature. He preferred the straightforward and bold style of the underworld.

But there is no way. The higher you go, the more you have to be dignified and watch your mouth.

Jiangbei City has a strong ability to adapt and integrate.

His sense of humor and the sense of loyalty he cultivated in the underworld circle enable him to show his unique personal charm and become the focus without losing his manners.

Zhang Zheng smiled and raised his glass to Jiang Beicheng: "Mr. Jiang is definitely a good poker partner. Let's meet again when we are free."

"Mr. Zhang's luck today is impressive. He needed tickets from three companies, and he was able to close all three of them with the same hand." Jiang Beicheng said with a smile, "The three of us are considered veterans. Today, we are all supporting roles for you."

"I'll give it back to you next time."

The four of them smiled and clinked their glasses together.

When we just met, we definitely wouldn't talk about private topics like women, nor sensitive topics like politics.

They just focused on the afternoon card game and supported each other's interests.

But I enjoyed drinking.

In the end, they were all half drunk.

Shen Jun came to pick up Jiang Beicheng late at night.

"Mr. Jiang, let's make an appointment next time when we're free."

"Mr. Jiang, call me."

"Boss Jiang, if there's a chance I could come over and see if we can collaborate."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and waved goodbye.

The show is over and everyone leaves.

Jiang Beicheng got in the car, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs slowly.

"Mr. Jiang is overdrawing his body again." Shen Jun asked with concern.

"They're all billionaire families in the city. They're giving you face and inviting you to play. Can you just sit there with a gloomy face?" Jiang Beicheng joked, "I don't have the ability now. I'm a little immature."

Shen Jun was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect the threshold for tonight's drinking party would be so high.

I feel a little sorry for Jiang Beicheng.

It is true that she and Jiang Beicheng have a business relationship, but to a certain extent, if Jiang Beicheng climbs up, she and her son will have a more solid backing and will be the real beneficiaries.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I don't know the value of today's dinner."

Jiang Beicheng waved his hand, knowing that Shen Jun was concerned about him.

After finishing his cigarette, he stubbed out the butt, closed his eyes and said, "Call me when you get home."

"Yeah!" Shen Jun smiled and nodded, adjusted the air-conditioning temperature in the back seat, and drove home.

……

"Boss Jiang, are you feeling okay?"

"Boss Jiang, I have some dried fish maw here. It's really good for your stomach. I'll have someone bring it to you."

When Jiang Beicheng woke up at noon, he saw the concern of Zhang Zheng and others.

Replied with a few words of thanks.

The New Year has passed and the peak season for catering has ended. Although the North City Hotel has a constant stream of customers, there is no need for him to be there in person.

The store manager just needs to report on work progress on a daily basis.

I am planning to go to Shanghai these days. Jiang Beicheng got the market research report from Shanghai from Xu Ru before the New Year.

The positioning of the Shanghai store has been determined, focusing on fusion and creative cuisine.

Taizhou cuisine cannot be as popular as Xinrongji in the coastal areas, and its brand influence cannot catch up. If it focuses on a single category, it also has to consider the consumer market and local eating habits.

After analyzing big data and market reports, the positioning of the North City Hotel Shanghai branch was determined.

Jiang Beicheng sent a message to Liu Yifei in advance, still using the name she used on Weibo, "Old friend, are you free recently? Let's have a quick dinner in Shanghai?"

After breakfast, I received a reply.

"What a coincidence! I'm in Shanghai this week. After shooting a magazine cover, I'm also going to attend the LV fashion show. When will Mr. Jiang arrive in Shanghai?"

Jiang Beicheng actually didn't expect her to reply so quickly, nor did he expect her to be so polite.

It also proves her personality of keeping her word.

Since they were so polite, Jiang Beicheng didn't consider himself an outsider and simply treated them as real friends. "Thursday or Friday!"

Liu Yifei: "OK, Mr. Jiang, please contact me in advance when you arrive. I'll make the arrangements. It's my turn to host this time."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and didn't bother to be polite with her.

I replied her with a caring word.

After chatting, I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and stretched my body. The weather has been good these days.

The sun began to grow warmer.

I picked up my phone and flipped through it, preparing to make an appointment with Mr. Shen from Nanfeng Venture Capital to play a game of golf at Poly Golf Course in the afternoon.

Just when I turned to Shen Ping's phone number, Shen Jun called.

"I saw a house. Would you like to come and take a look, Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Beicheng knew that she had been busy with the house recently and was determined to move out of the old villa.

However, I have not reached a consensus with my parents-in-law on the division of the inheritance.

She probably doesn't have much money on hand now.

Asking him to come over and take a look actually means asking him to go over and pay.

Jiang Beicheng was not averse to this direct way of asking for things, and he even liked it.

On the contrary, I don't like hints very much.

"Send me the location."

Jiang Beicheng went downstairs.

The location where Mr. Shen was looking at a house was not far from Park Avenue and was also part of the Central Park area.

The developer is also Longfor, the leader in the local real estate industry in Jiangnan City.

Her property is pretty good, with two school districts, Bashu Primary School and Data Valley No. 8 Middle School. Both primary and secondary schools are top-tier in Jiangnan City.

I guess he also took into consideration the issue of his son Sun Jinhao's schooling.

Jiangbeicheng parked the Cadillac Escalade in a roadside parking space and walked into the community. The environment was very good. It was a high-end product of Longfor and the quality was impeccable.

The price of this property was close to 30,000 yuan when it was first put on the market, but now it has dropped to 22,000 or 23,000 yuan.

In terms of quality and supporting resources, buying a house for personal use at 22,000 to 23,000 yuan is a very good deal.

Jiang Beicheng went upstairs to the large flat that Shen Jun had looked at.

She is communicating with the agent on relevant matters.

"Are you here?" Shen Jun turned around and smiled.

Jiang Beicheng took a quick look and said, "The decoration is pretty good."

Shen Jun said: "It was originally a wedding house for a newlywed couple, but due to some reasons, it is now for sale.

The layout is four bedrooms and two living rooms, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange area is 168 square meters.

The agent said, "This house has had a lot of visitors in recent days. If you're interested, hurry up and buy it. You'll make a killing."

Just believe half of what the agent says.

But after visiting Jiangbei City, I think it is pretty good.

Decoration is one aspect. This place is very close to Park Avenue and the company, so Shen Jun can come back and spend time with his children and the elderly when he is free.

“It’s very convenient for children to go to school.”

“Yes, that factor is very attractive to me.”

Jiang Beicheng joked, "After you move in, you won't have to work from home anymore, and it'll shut up your relatives and friends."

As a personal assistant, if Shen Jun couldn't understand these words, she would be a failure.

It is indeed close and convenient for me to spend time with my family, but I have to accompany my boss well.

Shen Jun smiled and said, "Many things cannot be explained clearly in the company."

Jiang Beicheng smiled. Assistant Shen was the one who understood men's hearts best.

Turning to look at the agent, "How much is the owner's offer?"
