Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 267: How Adults Get Along ( words long, please subscribe!)
Wu Wen has been looking for venues in Shanghai recently, and it's quite a headache for her.

It’s easy to find an indoor venue, but it’s impossible to show the effectiveness of the activity plan developed by their team.

And you have to choose an outdoor red carpet venue separately.

The celebrity guest invitation list that Jiang Beicheng prepared for her basically consisted of first-line artists and top idols, so the red carpet couldn't be too rough.

The key is that it is not easy to find the outdoor field.

In Shanghai, where every inch of land is valuable, there are either too many policy constraints and a lot of government relations need to be coordinated, or the property has been booked by other brands first.

When Wu Wen was chatting privately with Jiang Beicheng, she casually mentioned this matter.

I just want to report the work situation truthfully and have no intention of troubling President Jiang.

I didn't expect President Jiang to be so concerned.

It’s a pleasure to cooperate with such a partner.

Some partners are like big bosses, who only care about the results when they speak. If the problem cannot be solved, they will change teams and get scolded even if they work themselves to death.

For entrepreneurs, encountering this kind of party A is simply fatal.

You don't have the courage to refuse others because you are a startup company and you need resources, business and reputation.

Wu Wen feels so lucky to have met a client like Mr. Jiang.

Perhaps this is also the personal charm of Mr. Jiang.

It benefits both others and yourself.

We will not let our partners suffer losses and will pursue win-win cooperation.

Wu Wen drove to the Bulgari Hotel, and the hotel management had been waiting in the square downstairs for a long time.

"Mr. Jiang, welcome to stay at the Bulgari Hotel again." The general manager greeted politely.

He is staying in Bulgari's Bund View Suite tonight.

But today I am not here as a customer. What I want to discuss with the management is to book the entire Bulgari Hotel.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded, looking towards the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce Building on the side of the square.

The century-old building with red bricks and white walls is very well preserved.

The square outside the building and the square outside the hotel are connected, and can serve as both an event venue and a red carpet venue.

"What do you think if the Chamber of Commerce Building is used as the background?" Jiang Beicheng asked Wu Wen.

After watching the scene, many scenes emerged in Wu Wen's mind.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm not sure yet, but I like this venue. I like this kind of building with a rich cultural and historical heritage. I think my team will need to work overtime these few days." Wu Wen said excitedly, "Come and measure the venue tomorrow."

Jiang Beicheng confirmed again: "Satisfied?"

"Very satisfied!" Wu Wen nodded affirmatively.

Jiang Beicheng smiled at the Bulgari Hotel management: "Sit down and chat?"

The equity of Bulgari Hotel Shanghai has changed many times. It is now an asset controlled by a domestic enterprise. There have also been major changes in the management, and the senior management is mainly composed of domestic talents.

Move to the general manager's office to discuss the price.

This event requires more than just an outdoor venue.

To host such a large event, various factors must be taken into consideration.

Due to safety issues, the Bulgari Hotel will definitely not be open to the public for the next two or three days. Those who came to the scene were all popular artists, as well as some fashion celebrities and media colleagues.

Their personal safety, property and privacy must be guaranteed.

The hotel must close to the public.

In addition to reporting to the relevant departments, it is also necessary to coordinate multiple departments to complete this fashion event.

The general manager offered Jiangbei City a price of 120 million per day. The venue was free of charge, and a dinner was provided one night. Ten tables were provided at a standard of 1.2 per table, and drinks were charged separately.

The entire hotel has only 81 rooms, and based on a daily rate of 120 million, the average price is close to 1.5 per night.

The average daily price of the Bulgari Hotel is 6,000 to 7,000 yuan per night, so the hotel takes the cost of outdoor venue rental and dinner banquets into account.

However, this situation is very common in this industry, and basically they are packaged and sold.

According to the event schedule, only the dinner on the day of the event will be served at the Bulgari Hotel, while the dinner the day before and lunch on the day will be served at the Shanghai branch of the North City Hotel.

The main purpose is to bundle the Beicheng Hotel with the "Shangcheng" fashion event and use the star effect for publicity.

It will not only create momentum for the opening of the Beicheng Hotel Shanghai branch, but also allow Jiangbeicheng to see greater market potential in investing in the "Shangcheng" project.

That's why he was willing to spend money to host this fashion event.

He was so generous that he was willing to book the entire top luxury hotel for "Shangcheng" to hold the event. Wu Wen felt that she couldn't just do nothing.

I need to demonstrate my negotiation skills in front of Mr. Jiang and save him some money on the price.

"As far as I know, the Bulgari Hotel's daily occupancy rate doesn't exceed 80%. The hotel industry in this area of ​​Suzhou Creek is very competitive. At 120 million, we have a lot of options. If it weren't for the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce's event venue, I'd find it hard to accept a price of one million. Manager, this isn't the right way to calculate it..."

Women have a natural advantage at the negotiating table, which is that they can be risk-free, not care about face, and even be persistent in pursuit of the best price.

Because they know that even if they act helpless, men will not say anything too decisive, causing the negotiations to reach a deadlock.

Wu Wen is very good at talking. She can give you all kinds of data and market analysis.

Jiang Beicheng didn't know whether she had actually conducted a survey on the Shanghai hotel industry or had memorized the information directly from the AI.

But the effect is very obvious.

Finally, the price was negotiated to 106 million, which is 318 million for three days and two nights. The hotel provides basic security services.

The contract was signed on the spot.

In Wu Wen's words, it was too difficult to find a suitable venue, and she was afraid of being targeted by some high-end luxury brand.

Coming out of the general manager's office, Jiang Beicheng smiled and gave Wu Wen a thumbs up.

Wu Wen smiled brightly and said modestly, "In front of Mr. Jiang, my skills can only be considered mediocre, right?"

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "She is the most eloquent and decent female entrepreneur I know."

"Just consider it a compliment from Mr. Jiang." Wu Wen happily accepted it and asked with a smile, "What other plans does Mr. Jiang have? Are you going to stay and rest?"

Jiang Beicheng glanced at the time and asked, "Let's find a place to drink?"

"OK, my duty today is to accompany Mr. Jiang well!"

Arriving at the parking lot, he opened the car door and said, "Mr. Jiang, please!"

Xiao Wu's personality and eloquence also make him suitable for being a secretary or personal assistant.

But his work is still a little worse than Assistant Shen's.

Not safe.

This girl has an entrepreneurial spirit, an active mind, and is full of ideas.

The position of secretary does not allow for individuality, and is even more prohibited from doing things according to personal thinking.

Xiao Wu still needs to calm down.

"Club or Livehouse?"

Wu Wen consulted Jiang Beicheng for his opinion. She felt that Mr. Jiang, a young man, should have a wild heart and be suitable for nightclubs and live music halls.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Bar!"

Wu Wen looked at Jiang Beicheng puzzledly, a little surprised, "Well, Mr. Jiang, you look more like a middle-aged gentleman now."

Apart from certain specific events, such as electronic music festivals, Jiangbeicheng will go out to have fun.

I seldom go to clubs now, but a few years ago, I liked to go clubbing with girls.

Venues like Livehouse are suitable for playing with Lao Lang and his group of music friends, and they have a better atmosphere.

After getting close to the music industry, his taste in music has improved a lot, and ordinary live houses can no longer satisfy his level of appreciation.

When he is alone or with the opposite sex, he prefers pure bars.

Taste wine and chat to cultivate interest.

"You can treat me as a gentleman, but don't treat me as a middle-aged man." Jiang Beicheng said with a smile: "Fuxing Middle Road, COA!"

Wu Wen smiled, gave a thumbs-up and said, "Boss Jiang has good taste."

COA is a Hong Kong bar brand that is well-known throughout Asia.

Its owner came to Shanghai and opened one.

A four-story old building located on Fuxing Middle Road.

Fuxing Middle Road in Shanghai is known as the golden place for drinking buddies.

Next to COA is Speak Low and across from Sober Company, three top bars are located here.

There is no wine that wine lovers cannot find.

Wu Wen has worked as a media editor. She has a lot of knowledge and understanding, but her horizons are not that broad.

So I really like to get along with young talents like Jiang Beicheng.

Even going out for a drink looks very stylish.

The car was parked in a nearby parking lot and the two walked to COA.

COA is a theme bar with Mexican humanistic life as its background.

Each of the four floors has a different Mexican theme.

You have to unlock the way from the first floor to the fourth floor.

Anyone who wants to pass the four floors must meet two conditions: a good alcohol tolerance and money.

Because the consumption on each floor increases gradually.

The drink menus are all different.

There is not even a menu on the fourth floor, only a bartender and a wall of drinks. The bartender will customize it for you according to your taste.

Of course, you can also choose to drink your favorite alcohol neat.

Since COA is a Mexican-themed bar, its main focus is tequila.

Tequila is the national drink of Mexico.

The fourth floor of COA is a paradise for tequila lovers, where you can drink the finest and purest tequila.

"Would you like to eat something to fill your stomach?" Jiang Beicheng asked Wu Wen.

"Follow Mr. Jiang's arrangements."

Jiang Beicheng ordered two margaritas and some Mexican snacks.

The first floor is in the style of Mexican street food, with snacks and Margarita cocktails.

It was like whetting the guests' appetites. "Does Mr. Jiang really enjoy bringing girls to this stylish bar for a drink?" Wu Wen asked curiously while eating.

It's not working hours now, so let's not talk about work and the conversation is a little bit broader.

Jiang Beicheng knew what she wanted to express. She was actually asking him if he often came to these places to get girls drunk, cultivate ambiguous feelings, and then find an opportunity to sleep with her?

When adults talk to each other, especially when men and women are alone together, we should not just take the surface meaning into account.

Otherwise you will be single forever.

Jiang Beicheng joked, "Is Ms. Wu a girl?"

Wu Wen had just taken a sip of her cocktail and choked when she heard this question.

Slow down.

Jiang Beicheng handed over a tissue.

"Thank you!" Wu Wen smiled and replied to Jiang Beicheng: "Mr. Jiang, this is too sudden."

Jiang Beicheng joked: "It doesn't really matter whether it is or not."

With ease.

He made a joke and then took it back.

Not only did it not make Wu Wen feel presumptuous or embarrassed, but it also let Wu Wen know his attitude towards the matter.

"Language is indeed an art. I'm glad to learn it, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Beicheng clinked glasses with her: "Same here!"

The two sat on the first floor for a while.

Go upstairs to unlock the drink menu on the second floor. The decoration style of the second floor is nostalgic and retro, with the theme of Mexican movies in the 1920s and 1930s.

It can be simply understood as a Western restaurant.

"Mr. Wu, ladies first." Jiang Beicheng handed the menu brought by the waiter to Wu Wen.

"I won't be polite to Mr. Jiang." Wu Wen took it with a smile.

She knew that Jiangbeicheng had to drink until the end, and she had to sit on the fourth floor, so she didn't order anything too strong.

He wasn't worried about what might happen between him and Mr. Jiang if he got drunk and was in a daze, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to make it to the fourth floor and ruin Mr. Jiang's mood.

After all, the investment for "Shangcheng" has not been finalized yet!

It is still unknown how much Mr. Jiang is willing to invest in them.

This kind of alone time must be allocated to investors.

"If you have any concerns, you can leave first." Jiang Beicheng saw the wine Wu Wen ordered and smiled, "To answer your first question, I never like to get girls drunk."

Wu Wen smiled and raised her glass to Jiang Beicheng: “I believe in Mr. Jiang’s character.

But there are things more intoxicating than this glass of wine, such as Mr. Jiang’s charisma.”

Hearing this compliment, Jiang Beicheng smiled and clinked glasses with Wu Wen: "Is this flattery or a sugar-coated bullet?"

"No!" Wu Wen shook her finger, finished the remaining half of the glass, and stroked her chest, saying, "I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart."

"I'm honored to be appreciated by Mr. Wu." Jiang Beicheng replied in a joking tone and drank the wine in his glass.

Wu Wen shook her head and smiled.

The two seemed to be chatting politely, but in fact they were surrounded by an ambiguous atmosphere.

There is a kind of magic about the young man, Mr. Jiang, when he extends his hand. No matter what you talk about with him, you will always feel a little ambiguous.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Even without saying anything, the relationship can still become much closer.

There is no exaggeration at all.

Perhaps this is the attraction of the superior to the inferior!

It is difficult for people in a lower position to refuse.

What's more, Mr. Jiang is so handsome.

He could be said to be the most handsome young man she had ever met.

Wu Wen symbolically took a few bites of Western food, sat for a few minutes, and followed Mr. Jiang up to the third floor.

The theme of the third floor is fun.

The interweaving of light and shadow is very suitable for lovers to get along.

The drinks on the special menu are seasonal items and are almost always changing.

Wu Wen said, "It feels like I'm deep in the fashion world!"

It was the first time she had seen such a bar menu.

There is actually a concept of seasonal drinks.

Jiangbei City Taste: "Food can be an art and aesthetic, so why can't wine be too?"

Wu Wen liked Jiang Beicheng's point of view, nodded, and summarized it with an internet meme: "Everything can be art, right?"

Jiang Beicheng smiled and clinked glasses with her: "Everything can be fashionable!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for opening the door for me!"

During the conversation with Jiang Beicheng, her understanding of fashion became a little deeper.

My thinking has become much broader.

Jiang Beicheng: "What door?"

Wu Wen thought that the answer Jiang Beicheng wanted was "heart door", and she didn't mind continuing this ambiguous feeling.

Makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.

He smiled and pointed to his chest.

Jiang Beicheng finished his drink and shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Wu mentioned the door, let's play a word guessing game."

"OK, Mr. Jiang, you go ahead!"

She showed great interest and catered to her investors.

Jiang Beicheng: "A door two fingers wide, the milkman has already gone in, but the eggman is knocking on the door. Guess what?"

Wu Wen didn't react, nor did she think about it that way. She just repeated Jiang Beicheng's words, looking like she was thinking seriously.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Do you still have the energy to go up to the fourth floor?"

"Boss Jiang, please don't interrupt me, let me think about it!"

"Thinking while walking?"

Wu Wen stood up and staggered. Jiang Beicheng held her waist with one hand. She twisted sideways and broke free from Mr. Jiang's hand.

There is no sense of violation at all.

very natural.

These are the survival skills of women in the workplace.

Wu Wen kept smiling and was still guessing what Jiang Beicheng was going to say.

Jiang Beicheng joked, "You are allowed to use AI!"

Wu Wen took out her cell phone and searched the Internet.

There is no clear answer on the Internet.

But all the comments and discussions made her realize what it was instantly.

I couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

It took a while to calm down.

After calming down, I looked at Jiang Beicheng again and he had already gone up to the fourth floor.

Wu Wen was sure that Jiang Beicheng had given her a hint just now.

This bar is kind of magical.

The two of them drank a glass of wine on the first floor and became much closer.

After another glass of wine on the second floor, things started to feel a bit ambiguous.

After drinking this cup on the third floor, he gave a direct hint.

Can she still drink tequila on the fourth floor?
What happens after drinking it?
At this time, Wu Wen's body was no longer controlled by her brain, and she still took a step towards the fourth floor.

The fourth floor is a cramped space with only two long tables.

A bartender stood at the bar serving customers, and behind him was an entire wall displaying various tequilas.

The bartender was discussing his taste with Jiang Beicheng. Jiang Beicheng looked back and saw Wu Wen coming up. She pointed at the tequila on the wine cabinet and smiled at the bartender, "Don Julio 1942, barrel-aged for 3 years. Thank you."

"OK, sir!" The Italian bartender took the bottle of wine to Jiang Beicheng.

Tequila is generally considered a low-end alcoholic beverage, mainly used as a base liquor for cocktails, but high-end tequila also tastes first-class when drunk neat.

Don Julio 1942 is Mexico's most iconic tequila.

in the country, there is a nickname for the Three Phantom Gods of bars. The other two are Ace of Spades and XO, and their prices are almost the same.

However, compared with the bar's only true god, Macallan 18, it is still a little bit behind.

Jiang Beicheng is also fascinated by whiskey. When he usually gets together with friends, he drinks Macallan 25 or even 30, purely for the sake of his love and wine tasting.

He turned back to Wu Wen with a smile, holding the bottle of Don Julio 1942, and said, "Is everything OK?"

Wu Wen smiled and made an OK gesture.

When I was about to move to the table and sit down, a sexy and tall figure appeared in my sight.

The woman said to the bartender, "Please give me the chips from that gentleman!"

The chips are the final checkout price.

From the first floor to the fourth floor, you will be given a chip after consumption on each floor, and you can use the chip to pay the bill when you leave.

This figure and voice are very familiar.

Is she asking for chips to pay for herself?
Jiang Beicheng was stunned for a moment and looked over.

The woman turned around and smiled at Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng was stunned. It was Zhou Yu.

His Da Lei ex-girlfriend!
