Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 224: Money that can be kept is called wealth

"Beicheng, is there something wrong with the company?"

When Father Wu saw Jiang Beicheng answering the phone to make arrangements, he expressed his concern.

If Jiang Beicheng was asked to send her back because of his daughter's willfulness and delayed the company's business, he would be too ignorant.

As parents, I feel bad.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and put away his phone. "It's just a small matter. I've already asked the people below to handle it."

Wu Ma reminded Wu Keqing, "Don't bother your brother. Running a business is very tiring."

Jiang Beicheng waved his hand, "Auntie, you misunderstood her, I took the initiative to follow her this time.

It’s a good time to go check out the shops!”

Father Wu: "Are you planning to open a store in Chengdu?"

Jiang Beicheng nodded: "We started planning at the beginning of the year, and they've already started decorating there."

Wu Ma asked curiously: "Where is it?"

"Taikoo Li, the standalone commercial building in the central square."

Mr. and Mrs. Wu immediately thought of the original Apple store.

"Is the rent for that single-family property very high?" Father Wu, who had a general understanding of the commercial market there, guessed, "The annual rent is probably at least 300 million yuan."

Jiang Beicheng nodded and said, "It has increased a bit this year. We consulted with the business management of the Taikoo Group and decided to expand the area by another 200 to 300 square meters based on the original foundation.

Finally, we negotiated 600 million.”

Mr. and Mrs. Wu looked at each other, reacted for a moment, and nodded.

They both calculated in their minds that the annual rent was six million, with a five-year contract, plus decoration, water, electricity, property management, workers... this store would be an investment of half a small goal.

They have been doing business for twenty or thirty years and have never made that much money.

When he was young, his business was good and he made a fortune, but he didn't keep it and squandered a lot of it. He also helped a lot of people in need at the poker table.

I really admire Jiang Beicheng's ambition and calm attitude towards wealth.

In their circle of life, young people who get rich basically cannot keep their wealth because their thinking level cannot keep up with the growth of wealth.

Jiangbei City is completely different. Without the nourishment of a good family background, it is impossible to cultivate such a calm mentality towards wealth.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu admire Jiang Beicheng very much.

They just didn't know that Jiang Beicheng had also been living a foolish life for several years and had squandered tens of millions of his family's assets.

A man's composure is acquired through a lot of nonsense and suffering.

This includes many second-generation entrepreneurs and rich second-generations, but the losses they have suffered are more serious. They suffered losses from their competitors and policies.

Wu Ma smiled and said, "Beicheng, when you open your business, please let us know so we can come over and show our appreciation."

Father Wu smiled and said, "From now on, we will go to your place for all our social events."

Jiang Beicheng said straightforwardly: "Just put it on my account!"

With their current business being of this scale, the couple probably doesn't have many social engagements. After spending time together today, they didn't seem like the type of people who like to take advantage of others for free.

Jiang Beicheng was not worried at all that they often invited their friends to the Beicheng Hotel to get away with it for free.

In fact, money is a small matter. The main thing is that it has a bad impact and makes it difficult for the employees below.

Don't turn a high-end restaurant into a community cafeteria.

It seems that the couple are very polite and sensible.

"You have taken such good care of Qingqing. It would be unkind of us to cause you more trouble." Father Wu said with a smile.

He went up to the table and clinked glasses with Jiang Beicheng, and Wu Ma also had a drink with him.

Wu Keqing didn't drink any alcohol. After dinner, she was responsible for driving.

"Hello, sir, your dishes have been served. Please enjoy your meal." The waiter served with a smile.

While Jiang Beicheng was having dinner with Wu's father and the others, he was also experiencing the service and cooking skills of Rongcheng Xinrongji. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles.

Beicheng Hotel and Xinrongji Rongcheng Store have the same market positioning. Both serve Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine and innovative Sichuan cuisine, so there will definitely be competition.

It is necessary to understand the opponent. "Uncle, aunt, thank you for your hospitality." Jiang Beicheng said with a smile.

The couple smiled and raised their glasses. In every way, Jiang Beicheng was someone their family looked up to. The courtesy and humility of this young man made you feel very comfortable.

There is no strong sense of distance when eating at the same table.

Both of them can let go of each other.

This ability is not possessed by every young talent. Only those who have truly come into contact with the lives of the lower classes and pay attention to the lives of ordinary people can express it so naturally.

I didn’t dare to say it in the past, but in today’s traffic society, Jiang Beicheng’s character will be very popular and very suitable for creating a traffic IP for national entrepreneurs.

Dad Wu was convinced that this young man's future would become brighter and brighter.

"Mr. Wu, are you drinking?"

Wu Yuhua had just put down his wine glass when he saw two middle-aged men passing by and greeted them with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see!" Wu Yuhua was stunned for a moment, then politely stood up and invited, "Eat dinner? How about joining us?"

Boss Zhang took a look and smiled, "We won't participate in family gatherings.

Mr. Wu, please come and sit in the private room when you are free. Today, Mr. Zhang from Xinrongji is visiting Chengdu to inspect the store and invite friends from the catering industry and us suppliers to have dinner together.

Don't say I don't remember our past friendship. The opportunity is right before your eyes. You can do whatever you want."

Wu Yuhua smiled and nodded.

"Sister-in-law, enjoy your meal." Boss Zhang finally said to Aunt Wu with a smile.

Mother Wu forced a smile and dealt with it, but she didn't seem very willing to interact with him.

"It's only been a few years, and now they are all big bosses." Wu Yuhua shook his head and smiled, then sat down and sighed.

Wu Keqing suddenly remembered, "Dad, didn't he also do food wholesale at Huafeng Food City before?"

Wu Ma said, "It's right across from us.

During the mask period, I seized the opportunity of community e-commerce and made a fortune.

After the mask requirement was relaxed, they took advantage of the boom in the catering industry and made a lot of money.

Now I am an agent for big brands and I also run my own brand. I have a warehouse and processing plant covering tens of thousands of square meters and I am quite famous in Chengdu.”

Wu Ma took a bite of the dish and became angrier the more she thought about it, "He got to where he is today by backstabbing his colleagues.

It also took away a lot of our customers.”

Father Wu shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. It's us who didn't seize the opportunity. He was destined to get rich."

Wu Ma said unhappily, "At that price, who in the food city can get the goods from COFCO? They just give it to their boss privately..."

Dad Wu frowned and gave Mom Wu a look, telling her not to talk nonsense.

After Wu Ma understood, she stopped talking about it and turned around to toast Jiang Beicheng with her wine glass. "Beicheng, Auntie lost her composure and talked too much. Please don't mind it."

Jiang Beicheng understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Regardless of whether it was Mother Wu's position or Father Wu's position, he could understand what they both said.

This is the reality of society. In the wild era of twenty or thirty years ago, nine out of ten entrepreneurs made their fortunes by exploiting loopholes.

Now that all walks of life in the market are becoming increasingly saturated, and the downward market is so volatile, some people will definitely take some shady ways to try their luck.

If you get it right, everything will go smoothly.

Knowing one person means knowing a group of people. Once they get together, business will naturally come to fruition.

Wu Ma's contempt and anger, and Wu Ba's helplessness and envy, are all in line with the normal cognition of this group of businessmen.

A businessman at this level of cognition cannot play the capital game, and only thinks about human relationships and accidents.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and shook his head, clinking glasses with Wu Ma.

Mr. Zhang, who just came in, mentioned that Zhang Yong, the chairman of Xinrongji, was inspecting the Rongcheng store today. This sentence actually attracted Jiangbeicheng's attention.

He and Zhang Yong met twice. Both were last summer when he was preparing for the Guanghuan store. He went to the coastal areas to learn, and one of the places he learned from was the Xinrongji flagship store in Linhai, Taizhou. At that time, Zhang Yong came to share his experience in the catering industry with this group of colleagues.
