Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 334 I’m so depressed

"President Gong, I have already handed over my work to President Shi."

Liu Tao, the vice president of iQiyi, and Ishikawa, who succeeded him, went into the president's office to report on their work.

From the moment Jiangbei City extended an olive branch to him, he had the idea of ​​switching jobs to Yizhi Culture Media Group to make a big splash.

In addition to the ideal salary and benefits, Jiang Beicheng also promised him generous stock option rewards.

During this period, in addition to going through normal personnel procedures, he was also observing the stock market. In the second quarter, iQiyi had a small hit in terms of drama content, and its stock price also rose.

Liu Tao took the opportunity to sell most of her stocks and cash out.

The remaining shares were transferred in accordance with the company's internal procedures.

Now, he can easily take on the role of CEO at Yizhi Culture Media Group.

In terms of job rank, he and Gong Yu were on equal footing.

However, whether Yizhi Culture Media can build its own empire in the entertainment industry depends on whether its partnership with President Jiang can create a chemical reaction.

Liu Tao herself is very confident.

Ishikawa, who succeeded him as vice president, is a member of iQiyi's board of directors. Ishikawa's father, Shi Yixue, is a representative figure in Beijing's private equity investment circle.

Juyuan Capital, founded by Shi Yixue, is one of the major shareholders of iQiyi.

Ishikawa was interested in the entertainment industry, and after some discussion, the iQiyi board of directors decided to have him replace Liu Tao.

Gong Yu felt a pang of emotion as he watched his old friend leave.

“All the old buddies who have been with us all this way are gone.” Gong Yu got up, walked over to Liu Tao, shook hands with him, and wished him, “May you have all the best.”

Liu Tao nodded and patted Gong Yu's arm.

After saying goodbye, I left the CEO's office.

After Liu Tao left, Ishikawa began to discuss business with Gong Yu.

"Mr. Gong, do I have the authority to deal with the mess left by Mr. Liu?" Shi Chuan asked.

He was not very satisfied with Liu Tao, the content officer for the entertainment section, feeling that Liu Tao's thinking on entertainment content was still stuck in the past and had not kept up with the market.

However, there are still several projects in production at the moment.

Out of respect for Shi Chuan's father, Shi Yixue, Gong Yu granted him the authority to reform, instructing him: "Minimize the losses."

Ishikawa smiled, confident that he could turn the tide.

He left the CEO's office to start out sketching out his own plans.

In the evening, Liu Tao went to the hotel where she was staying in Jiangbei City and had dinner with Jiangbei City.

"President Jiang is so extravagant," Liu Tao said with a smile as she followed Shen Jun into the Bulgari suite.

"I'm hosting some friends from Beijing. I had Secretary Shen book them a suite." Jiang Beicheng shook hands with Liu Tao. "President Liu, welcome to Yizhi Culture Media."

A Bulgari Suite at the Bulgari Hotel is priced at over 300,000 yuan per night.

It's actually a small private club, with a suite of 380 square meters, and it has everything you need.

I met Li Xiancheng, a third-generation member of the Red Army, at the opening ceremony of the Forbes Reception Hall in Jiangnan City last time. Naturally, we had to get together this time when I came to Beijing.

Frequent interactions foster friendship.

So we booked a suite at the Bulgari Hotel, thinking that Mr. Li might bring his friends over for a visit.

"Now I need to straighten out my posture. Let's start by toasting my new boss," Liu Tao said with a smile as he sat down.

Jiang Beicheng chuckled, "Mr. Liu, if you keep doing this, we won't be able to have dinner tonight."

We definitely need to give some face to the talents we've just recruited.

At the dinner table, he didn't discuss their social standing with Liu Tao.

The two laughed and bumped into each other.

While eating, Jiang Beicheng expressed his appreciation for Liu Tao's abilities, saying, "President Liu, after you take the lead as CEO, take bold steps, and I'll take care of everything."

Liu Tao's role is that of a trailblazer.

There will definitely be many obstacles along the way, and there will be stumbles and falls, but Jiang Beicheng doesn't care. What he wants is for Liu Tao, the general, to bravely charge forward. He will take care of the rest.

In the shortest possible time, they tore down the vested interests of the entertainment industry, allowing Yizhi Culture Media Group to grab a large slice of the pie.

"With President Jiang's words, I feel much more at ease." Liu Tao raised his glass to Jiang Beicheng.

This can be considered a pledge of allegiance to Jiangbei City.

He gave up his "retirement" at iQiyi and jumped out to make a big splash, while also keeping in mind the generous stock options promised to him by Jiang Beicheng.

"Mr. Jiang, about the financing..."

Before Liu Tao could speak, Jiang Beichen raised his hand to interrupt him, smiling and saying, "Money, however much you want, I'll give you as much as you want."

The group positions itself as a diversified entertainment media group. Expanding each business requires money, and businesses such as film and television production investment require a lot of money.

Without supplies, the vanguard general cannot win a battle.

Jiang Beicheng was very generous and told him not to worry about financing, as he would handle it.

Liu Tao smiled and nodded, "There's one more thing, President Jiang. Our cooperation with iQiyi may undergo significant changes soon."

Ishikawa, who is succeeding me, is a radical with his own set of ideas. I think he will cut many of the projects I used to handle, including the project I worked on with Yizhi Culture when I was in charge.

Jiang Beicheng nodded: "We'll talk about it after it happens."

Nothing is more important today than a welcoming document that signifies your participation in our company culture.

They were very kind to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao also felt it, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, President Jiang."

The two chatted about other things, not mentioning work again, and finished the meal laughing and joking.

That evening, after Jiang Beicheng saw Liu Tao off from the hotel, he instructed Shen Jun, "Aunt Shen, go and pick up Third Sister."

Shen Jun nodded and went to do it.

"Jiamin, are you coming over?" Liu Shuyun packed up two sets of sexy clothes, preparing to go and accompany Jiang Beicheng.

Zheng Jiamin really wanted to.

But the semi-finals, where five teams will advance to the top three, are just around the corner.

Rather than meeting Jiang Beicheng, Jiang Beicheng would definitely prefer her to stand on the stage of the finals.

These next few days, she can't focus her energy on anything outside of the competition. She'll wait until she gets her ticket to the finals before sharing her joy with Jiang Beicheng.

Zheng Jiamin smiled and shook her head at Liu Shuyun.

"Okay, don't practice too late." Liu Shuyun said with concern, picked up her clothes and left the apartment, got into Shen Jun's car, and went straight to the Bulgari Hotel.

It's been a while since I've seen my male best friend Jiang Jiang, and I'm feeling incredibly excited right now.

My body is starting to feel restless.

I want to make love with him.

"Thank you, Secretary Shen." Liu Shuyun got out of the car, said goodbye to Shen Jun, and went directly to Jiang Beicheng's room.

Jiang Beichen opened the door, and she stretched out her arms, beaming, "Jiang Jiang."

She fell into Jiang Beicheng's arms.

Jiang Beichen sniffed his best friend's scent, and his body's memory was instantly awakened.

"It's still the taste I like."

"I only have the scent you like."

Liu Shuyun took off her shoes, picked up her bag, twirled around, and then winked at Jiang Beicheng. "Jiang Jiang, I'm going to take a shower first."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded.

I sat down on the sofa to drink tea and waited for my best friend to come out after taking a nice shower.

Zheng Jiamin sent him a WeChat message: "Uncle, has Third Sister arrived yet?"

Jiang Beicheng smiled when he saw the news.

The term "uncle" is quite cute.

He probably wanted to differentiate his feelings for her from his third sister's, so he stopped calling her "Jiang Jiang" and started using a different affectionate nickname.

Jiang Beicheng could clearly sense that her best friend Jiamin had become much more cheerful.

I replied to her, "I just arrived, why didn't you come with me?"

Zheng Jiamin: "I'm preparing for the competition. Could you stay in Beijing for a few more days?"

"Okay, I'll pick you up after your match."

"Mmm, thank you, uncle [hehe]."

They've even started using emojis.

This best friend was gradually molded by the third sister into the kind of person he liked.

In music creation, she can be a quiet, reserved person, or even an artistic madman, but in life, Jiang Beicheng hopes she can be more adorable and bring more fun to their relationship.

By the way, it seems that Jiamin, like Sanmei, had never had a boyfriend before she met him.

Whether it's a black swan or a thorny flower, we should show him our best side.

There is a little bit of sexual happiness.

Jiamin is currently very popular on the show. Even before the competition is over, she has already made a name for herself in the folk music scene, and many music festivals and brand events have already offered her contracts.

She is seen as a female standard-bearer for the new generation of folk music.

He has both talent and popularity.

Now it depends on the strength of the investor in Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beicheng offered a few words of encouragement to her best friend and then put down her phone.

I cut off a cigar and took a few puffs.

After taking a shower, Liu Shuyun dried herself with a towel as she walked towards Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beicheng admired her figure and said, "You seem to have gotten quite fairer."

"Really? I didn't notice anything?" Liu Shuyun put down the bath towel and examined her body.

Jiang Beichen smiled and waved, saying, "Come here, let me take a closer look."

Third Sister instantly understood Jiang Beicheng's intention.

Male best friends often have many tricks up their sleeves.

Smiling, she walked up to Jiang Beicheng and said, "Look carefully."

"Haha, Jiang Jiang, didn't you say you wanted to take a look? Why are you talking now?"

"Do not want?"

"I miss you so much." Liu Shuyun unleashed her full power and pinned Jiang Beicheng down on the bed. "If you don't come to the capital soon, I'm flying back by myself."

With a graceful twist of her body, she kissed Jiangbei City.

"Looks like you've really been holding back." Jiang Beichen joked, stroking his best friend Xuezi.

"Of course, what teacher skips class all the time?" Liu Shuyun said, feigning grievance.

"Could Teacher Jiang give us some extra lessons these next couple of days?"

"Teacher Jiang is such a kind person."

Liu Shuyun looked up and smiled, then kissed Jiang Beicheng's abdomen.

……

Jiang Beicheng has arrived in the capital. Jiamin doesn't need much care from her third sister. She stayed with Jiang Beicheng for two nights and then returned to Jiangnan City.

Her own branch store has been renovated and is now preparing for its opening, which requires her to go back and coordinate in person.

She's very serious about making money.

On Saturday, Jiang Beicheng received a call from Li Xiancheng, inviting him to get together in the afternoon.

I had already made arrangements with Bulgari, but Li Xiancheng said he had a few friends from the compound to make those arrangements for.

This isn't just politeness; it's because these friends are meeting you for the first time and will be a little cautious. They might not come to the gathering you've organized, and even if they do, they might not feel comfortable playing around.

Jiang Beicheng understood this wary attitude, given that each family's identity was a sensitive matter.

At Li Xiancheng's invitation, I went to a private club next to the Summer Palace in the afternoon to meet with them.
