Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 214 Going back to being a girl?
There is more than one shop on the Bund whose property rights are about to expire. Even though Mr. Liu's building is next to Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street and has a certain advantage in customer flow, it is difficult to sell at a price higher than the market price.

Investors must make a profit.

The investment should be recovered within at least ten years, and a small profit would be best.

Now Mr. Liu is in a hurry to sell, but Jiangbei City is not in a hurry to buy. In this negotiation, Jiangbei City has the initiative.

During the conversation, Mr. Liu asked about the profitability of the Beicheng Hotel. Regardless of his purpose, once he knew that the Beicheng Hotel had a high annual profit, the price of 8500 million would definitely not be reduced.

He will think that you won't lose money anyway, so he won't give in on the price.

Jiang Beicheng was also very direct and refused to answer the questions he asked.

This once again put Mr. Liu in a passive position.

When the bottom price was finally quoted, Jiangbeicheng simply refused to discuss the matter and stated that he would rent instead of buying.

This caused Mr. Liu a lot of confusion.

Mr. Liu was definitely absent-minded during the rest of the meal.

I would weigh and think about Jiangbei City’s offer in my mind, and also think about more problems arising from the shop transaction.

As long as he hesitates, he will get the answer if he thinks about it again.

Sellers are often in a passive position in business negotiations.

Especially when there is competition from homogeneous products, it becomes more passive.

In the end, if you want the transaction to be successful, you will basically take a step back.

After the meal, Jiang Beicheng said goodbye to Mr. Liu with a smile, but still did not express his intention to buy.

After returning to the hotel, Shen Jun was asked to contact Mr. Liu directly.

Mr. Shen is very smart. During the communication with Mr. Liu, he revealed some unclear information, which meant that other sellers were also in contact with Mr. Jiang.

But it also gave Mr. Liu some hope, mentioning that the ownership period of other shops was not as long as Mr. Liu's shop, which made Mr. Liu feel that his shop was more competitive.

Mr. Liu began to think about what Jiang Beicheng said at the dinner table that night. He didn't have to buy a restaurant, he could rent one.

The tone of voice means, see if there is any suitable one?

Deep meaning is, are you sincere?

The ambiguous attitudes of Jiang Beicheng and Shen Jun made the seller, Mr. Liu, very confused.

This is the effect Jiangbeicheng wants to achieve.

Sure enough, the next morning, Mr. Liu took the initiative to contact Mr. Shen and accepted Jiangbei City's offer of 7000 million.

Shen Jun smiled and reported, "Boss Jiang, Mr. Liu has taken a step back."

Jiang Beicheng guessed: "I guess he put forward a condition.

The full amount must be paid, preferably overseas.”

Shen Jun smiled and nodded.

If you get the money and transfer it out, you will have to pay handling fees, which means you will lose another sum of money.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded, "Go ahead and do it."

After the establishment of Lian Capital, Jiang Beicheng asked his stepmother Qian Li to register an investment company in Singapore in her name. The money will be transferred to the account of the Singapore company, and it will be handled on a public-to-public basis with Mr. Liu's Australian assets.

As for the real estate transaction-related taxes that should be paid domestically, just pay them according to the law.

When Shen Jun was about to go out to do some work, Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Let's go watch a musical at the Grand Theater tonight."

Shen Jun smiled and nodded.

I'm really looking forward to it.

After being a full-time mother for several years, my mind was all on my children and family, and I had less time to do my own activities.

Now following Jiang Beicheng, I feel like I'm rejuvenated.

Walk the Girl's Road again?

Strange thoughts popped into her mind and she shook her head and smiled to herself.

……

When Shen Jun came back after finishing his business, Jiang Beicheng had booked dinner at the Bulgari Hotel.

She sat with Jiang Beicheng for a while, admiring the busyness of the Huangpu River waterway during the day, and reported to Jiang Beicheng on the progress of the matter.

The transfer has been completed, and it will take some time to complete the entire property transaction, usually about half a month, but it may take longer.

But it does not affect normal construction.

In addition, Master Chen’s Cantonese restaurant also needs to settle the lease contract with him.

Then comes the preliminary preparation work...

Jiang Beicheng directly called the company's vice president and asked him to come to Shanghai to follow up on this project.

I'm going to ask a headhunter to poach you with a high salary, but you have to show me your real abilities.

All the issues such as store location have been resolved, so please do the rest of the work beautifully for me.

"Let's eat!" Jiang Beicheng hung up the phone, stretched, and put his hand on Shen Jun's shoulder.

Shen Jun smiled faintly.

Then I got up and went to the hotel restaurant to have dinner.

After dinner, we went to the Shanghai Grand Theatre.

There are two performances at the Grand Theatre today, one is the dance drama "Green Snake" and the other is the musical "The Picture of Dorian Gray".

Jiang Beicheng has seen the dance drama "Green Snake", and today he will take Shen Jun to experience the atmosphere of the musical.

The musical "The Picture of Dorian Gray" has received high ratings and is a feast of classical aesthetics created jointly by Chinese and Korean creators.

Three years after its release, the box office is still strong.

Jiang Beicheng had read the novel and watched the movie, but this was the first time he watched its musical.

Now it’s shocking.

The artists' mature acting skills and stage experience enable them to grasp the characters' emotions and expressions very well.

Jiang Beicheng always has some insights every time he reads the derivative art of this novel.

The protagonist of the novel is somewhat similar to him.

A handsome and beautiful young nobleman, after losing his mind, became arrogant and extravagant, indulging in wine and sex and falling into depravity...

Because of some major changes, I was extremely disappointed with myself and began to look for conscience and the beauty of my soul.

Although his drinking and sex habits have not changed, Jiang Beicheng's heart is much purer than before.

After watching the musical, Shen Jun fell silent on the way back in the car.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Beicheng asked with concern.

Shen Jun smiled and shook his head, sighing, "Youth and beauty are always thorns in a woman's heart."

The musical revolves around the beauty depicted in the portrait.

After watching the musical, Shen Jun thought of himself.

When a woman is thinking about life, it is useless to preach to her.

Nine times out of ten they are feeling sad.

You have to bring her out of that negative mood.

Jiang Beicheng joked, "I'll help you pull out that thorn?
Or maybe insert another thorn to distract you?"

Shen Jun suddenly laughed.

Although beauty and youth cannot be retained, the man in front of me can be kept tonight.

Is there anything that makes a woman more uncomfortable than being ignored and ridiculed by a man?
Similarly, what could make a woman happier than being noticed and favored by a man?
Back at the hotel, Shen Jun put his hands around Jiang Beicheng's neck and kissed him passionately.

Jiang Beicheng stroked her waist and moved to the sofa.

"Hasn't your curiosity been satisfied yet?" Shen Jun asked Jiang Beicheng with a smile.

“I’m not easily satisfied.”

"Hahaha, let me ask Mr. Jiang a practical question."

"uh-huh?"

“What’s it like to drive the old A8?”

The MILF got into the mood quickly.

Jiang Beicheng laughed and said, "So you know this joke."

"I'm not too old to use the Internet." Shen Jun bit Jiang Beicheng's lips lightly, "Tell me your true feelings."

Jiang Beicheng: "You are A6, not A8?"

Shen Jun pouted: "Am I so bad?"

Jiang Beicheng shook his head: "The A6 is more fuel-efficient."

Shen Jun laughed out loud.

She knew Jiang Beicheng was praising her for her youthfulness.

"Boss Jiang is incredibly bad." "Didn't Assistant Shen ask me to be even worse last night?"

Jiang Beicheng buried his face in her chest.

"Should I be a little more bad?" Shen Jun raised his head and smiled while enjoying himself.

"How bad can Assistant Shen be?"

"Wait for me for a while."

She got up and went to the bedroom.

Came out after a few minutes.

A smile appeared on Jiang Beicheng's face.

Pearl silk!
It's the style of stockings with pearls in the middle.

"The style is too old!" Jiang Beicheng commented with a smile.

"No way? I searched online and it's the best-selling one." She moved her legs and looked down to observe.

Before she could look up, Jiang Beicheng hugged her like a princess, "But I like the classic style."

"Hahahaha~"

Shen Jun was patting Jiang Beicheng's chest and laughing happily.

……

On a weekend evening, Jiang Beicheng was invited to the Long Museum on the West Bund to attend the LV early spring women's fashion show.

The outfit she wore before going out was put together by Assistant Shen. She wore a beaded embroidered jacket worth 52 yuan. Since she was going to a show, she had to bring some fashion elements with her.

He paired it with a pair of Chrome Hearts' Bull King from last year, which he bought for 21 yuan.

Chrome Hearts jeans need no introduction.

The price of cowboy jeans has been rising in recent years, from a dozen to twenty or thirty. This year, there was even a pair of Las Vegas-limited leather jeans that sold for over seven hundred thousand.

At that time, Chrome Hearts’ sales also contacted Jiang Beicheng and asked him if he had any needs.

Jiang Beicheng did not buy the pants back.

It is generally recognized in the industry that the price bubble of Chrome Hearts is huge.

You can buy it for tens or hundreds of thousands to look cool, but if you spend tens or millions, you are just stupid and have too much money.

The shoes are paired with a pair of Lv and aj's joint shoes.

She also wore some fashionable jewelry, which Assistant Shen bought from various luxury stores in Shanghai today.

She is very satisfied with her work.

Jiang Beicheng had actually never tried this style before. It was too exaggerated and more suitable for fashion gurus and celebrities. However, Shen Jun was right. He was going to attend a fashion event tonight and needed to carry some more fashion elements with him.

So as not to be regarded as a country bumpkin by the fashion gurus, fashion magazine editors and celebrities present.

Finally, I put on a pair of Armani sunglasses and prepared to go out.

Before leaving, he made a video call to his old friend Lao Pi.

"Fuck, is Mr. Jiang planning to attend Fashion Week?" Lao Pi joked.

"Almost! Give me some advice."

Lao Pi learned that it was an important occasion and a place to save face for himself, so he gave Jiang Beicheng serious suggestions. Finally, with his improvement, Jiang Beicheng became a "newcomer" in the fashion circle and went to the Long Museum.

When he arrived, the scene was already surrounded by crowds of people and media reporters.

A star-studded fashion show.

VIC clients, fashion self-media, influencers... there was no red carpet walk.

Celebrities and fashion figures, as well as brand executives, will walk the red carpet.

However, the organizers took the initiative to open the red carpet area for Vic customers and fashion gurus before the red carpet.

You can take photos and check in freely.

While satisfying their vanity, they also use their promotional activities to gain online popularity.

Jiang Beicheng did not go to the red carpet area to attract attention.

He is not very sensitive to these things.

And some fashion experts really dress in a low style.

There are also some socialites who create their own personas there.

It's so cheap to be discussed together with them by netizens.

Jiangbei City does not need this kind of low-end vanity.

We went straight into the art gallery and sat down in the area designated by the receptionist.

These VIC VIPs were arranged on the right side of the T-stage. On the left side, directly opposite was where the stars watched the show, and behind was where the self-media, fashion gurus, etc. were seated.

Jiang Beicheng brought Shen Jun to the scene today, with no other intentions, just to let her choose by herself.

Early spring women's wear show, a shopping paradise for women.

Book it if you like it.

The ready-made clothes from today's show cannot be taken away; they are all samples and have not been put on the market.

However, Vic customers can make reservations first, and it is inevitable that some popular products will be released and not available for purchase.

While sitting and chatting with Shen Jun, the red carpet show for celebrities started outside.

After walking the red carpet, the stars will go directly into the art gallery, take their seats and prepare to watch the show.

The first person to enter the art museum was an acquaintance.

Top idol Zhang Han who has been silent for half a year.

Because of the conflict between him and Jiangbei City, his image almost collapsed.

He and his agency, Times Fengjun, both apologized to the North City Hotel, and the public opinion was barely stopped.

After being quiet for more than half a year, he started to perform again and his reputation gradually improved.

The influence of top idols is still strong.

Disappearing for half a year has basically no impact. It's time to come out and do some activities and make money.

The contract he signed with LV has not expired yet, so he wants to participate in LV's activities.

Zhang Han entered the venue, and many fashion experts and self-media followed him.

While he was dealing with these people, his eyes turned to Jiangbei City.

I still feel a little scared.

Because of this Mr. Jiang, his career was almost ruined.

Mr. Jiang is also one of the few people who can gain an advantage in the war of public opinion against the Weibo fan circle.

He also remembers the Jiangnan Municipal Government’s tough stance vividly.

In his mind, Mr. Jiang holds an extraordinary status.

I actually met her at the LV show in Shanghai today!
After dealing with the others, Zhang Han walked towards Jiangbei City with a smile.

Jiang Beicheng spoke first: "Long time no see, you've become more mature than before."

This is the truth, and it may also be due to the makeup and styling. She looks more mature than the top idol who was making trouble at the North City Hotel before.

Zhang Han smiled and greeted, "Long time no see, President Jiang.

I've always owed you a face-to-face apology.

I caused you trouble last time."

Jiang Beicheng joked, "Because of your incident, the Beicheng Hotel has become completely famous."

Zhang Han smiled awkwardly and said, "It's the quality of the North City Hotel and Mr. Jiang's personal charm that have won the recognition of customers."

It is indeed more mature than before.

His conversation became much more smooth.

I guess I have attended a lot of classes in the past six months.

As the two were chatting, another popular artist from the Sichuan and Chongqing areas walked down the red carpet and entered the art museum.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Wang Hedi was surrounded by the crowd.

Zhang Han looked at Wang Hedi, then turned back to look at Jiang Beicheng, and couldn't help laughing.

Shen Jun, who was also standing next to Jiang Beicheng, also laughed.

Wang Hedi's outfit today is the same as Jiang Beicheng's.

Not only the clothes but also the sunglasses were the same.

It is not good news when celebrities wear the same clothes as an ordinary person, especially at such a big fashion show.
