Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 337 Only President Jiang is the most authentic!
The conversation shifted from the service industry to the exploitation of capital.

It also mentioned food delivery services and major internet companies.

Jiang Beicheng was practically ready to name names and curse people on stage.

The guests from the service industry at the scene were all talking about how audacious this young man was, showing absolutely no fear or apprehension.

Aren't you worried about being sanctioned by capital?

The host on stage was also sweating profusely, and he dared not respond to Jiang Beicheng's words.

If you say the wrong thing even slightly, you could lose your job.

Today's national forum will undoubtedly spread Jiang Beicheng's remarks widely, and the CEOs of the major internet companies he mentioned will also hear them.

I just don't know if they'll go all out against Jiangbei City?
Zhang Wenzhong and Zhang Yong remained silent. Based on their years of business experience, they felt that Jiang Beicheng was too reckless in his words and actions, which could easily bring them trouble.

The young man didn't know how to handle the situation when he first went on stage, and he didn't even realize the gravity of the situation.

In reality, Jiangbei City was not flustered at all.

He himself is now capital.

It owns three capital companies: Lian Capital, Singapore Hezhou Capital, and Hong Kong Zhengxing Development Investment Co., Ltd.

He's not afraid of playing the financial game or the capital game.

Moreover, with the support of the system, he is a true cash king, possessing inexhaustible cash.

Since you've chosen to appear in the public eye, what's the point if you don't create some buzz for yourself?
What netizens and the general public like to see is you pointing out the pain points of the industry, social injustices, and daring to speak out for the people.

Do you think people enjoy watching you put on a show of being all socially adept and calculating on stage?

To put it bluntly, Jiangbei City came here today just to create a scene.

He looked at the host, who immediately snapped out of his daze and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for sharing your insights."

He simply ignored Jiang Beicheng's words.

To raise the next question: "Both Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jiang have mentioned the word 'seeking truth' in public. I would like to ask both Mr. Jiang and Mr. Jiang, what is the connection between your pursuit of truth and the truth, goodness, and beauty advocated by mainstream social values?"

Zhang Yong reached out his hand to Zhang Wenzhong.

Show respect and let the seniors go first.

Zhang Wenzhong picked up the microphone and said, "I just heard Brother Donglai and President Jiang repeatedly mention a word: passion."

I really like this word too.

In the service industry, I've identified three passions.

Love our employees, love our colleagues, and love our partners.

It is very difficult to achieve these three passions, and Wumart is also learning from Pang Donglai.

However, Wumart has always been pragmatic and realistic on this path, and has not pursued the short-sighted, profit-driven approach that President Jiang mentioned.

Jiang Beichen picked up the microphone and laughed, "Mr. Zhang, you've misunderstood me. I wasn't referring to anyone in particular."

"Haha, Mr. Jiang, I was just joking," Zhang Wenzhong laughed.

He was actually just trying to save face.

To save face for Wumart in this public setting.

After all, Jiangbei City had just been firing indiscriminately, and Wumart was also undergoing rectification recently, raising employee wages.

They fear that netizens and society will perceive Wumart as an object of "short-sighted profiteering" in the eyes of Jiangbei city officials.

Having been in the business world for so many years, Zhang Wenzhong has seen all sorts of big scenes and almost even been labeled as a criminal. This little incident today is nothing to him.

He easily saved face for himself.

Zhang Yong picked up where Zhang Wenzhong left off, saying, "I often mention a phrase, both inside the company and in public, which is 'food must be made with authenticity.'"

This can well summarize Xin Rong Ji's business philosophy.

The pursuit of authenticity in food refers to genuine ingredients, authentic flavor, and sincerity.

The word "sincerity" is the same as the "truth" in "truth, goodness, and beauty" mentioned by the host.

Xinrongji has always pursued innovation and progress, promoting Chinese cuisine to the world. Of course, we also have many shortcomings and need to learn from outstanding entrepreneurs like Brother Donglai and General Manager Jiang.

The audience applauded enthusiastically, giving face to the two Mr. Zhangs.

But the viewers in the live stream couldn't stand it anymore.

"Tch, they're at it again with all that social niceties."

"Can we have something real?"

"To be honest, only Yu Donglai and this General Manager Jiang made me feel their sincerity."

"Both of the Zhangs are old foxes, their mouths are tight-lipped, and they never offend anyone."

"Please, this is a high-level dialogue. Can you put aside your pride for now? We want to see Jack Ma's sharp tongue back in the day."

"Let's get to work, it won't look good if we don't."

"..."

The host also noticed the comments in the live stream; indeed, some sharp opinions and remarks were needed to generate buzz.

His gaze returned to Jiangbei City.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he worried that if Jiang Beicheng were to speak, he would come up with some shocking views, and today's CEO summit would become "famous".

"President Jiang, would you like to talk?"

The host, following the public's lead, shifted the topic to Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beicheng bluntly stated: "The public's acceptance of the terms 'truth, goodness, and beauty' is not high nowadays; they have a somewhat pretentious and empty feel to them."

Of course, I'm not saying it's bad; on the contrary, it's too perfect, so many flaws can be found, which makes it a target for criticism.

None of the colleagues present today would dare to say with their hands on their hearts that their corporate culture pursues truth, goodness and beauty, right?

No one would dare confidently say they've done it, right?

Jiang Beicheng turned his head to look at Yu Donglai: "I guess even Brother Donglai wouldn't dare to say something like that."

Yu Donglai chimed in, "I'm still learning, and Fatty Donglai also has a long way to go on this path."

Jiang Beicheng nodded and continued, "So I'll talk about the word 'truth, goodness, and beauty' from a different perspective."

From the perspective of a business manager, or from the viewpoint of an entrepreneur, let's look at this word "perfect".

I believe there is a necessary prerequisite for a company to practice the values ​​of truth, goodness, and beauty.

The host looked at Jiang Beicheng with a puzzled expression: "What does Mr. Jiang think?"

Jiang Beicheng: "We must not be obsessed with money."

A greedy boss is incapable of seeking truth or sincerity, let alone kindness and beauty.

Yu Donglai smiled and clapped.

He completely agreed with Jiang Beicheng's point of view.

That hit the nail on the head. The live stream chat instantly erupted in excitement.

"It still has to be me, President Jiang."

"If the boss is obsessed with money, the employees will work themselves to death."

"No one is sincere when it comes to money."

"What a blunt truth President Jiang is telling."

"The scene fell silent, and some people couldn't save face again."

"Hahaha, we love seeing this kind of scene."

"..."

The host was once again in an awkward situation.

You can't just respond to that carelessly.

It might offend everyone present.

However, Zhang Wenzhong suddenly interjected, giving the host a much-needed respite.

"Does President Jiang like money?"

He asked Jiangbei City face to face.

Jiang Beicheng: "I like it."

Zhang Wenzhong: "Isn't President Jiang's goal in running a business to make a profit?"

Jiang Beicheng: "Yes."

Zhang Wenzhong: "Then your point of view just now doesn't hold water?"

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I never said I was pursuing truth, goodness and beauty."

Zhang Wenzhong looked completely bewildered.

Laughter erupted from the scene.

He didn't expect Jiang Beicheng to be playing word games with him.

"Hahaha, I'm totally dumbfounded."

"President Jiang, you're amazing."

"So, their hypocrisy has finally been revealed."

"Xie Baoqing, Xie Baoqing, why did you provoke Li Yunlong?"

"President Jiang, I'm a fan of yours now."

"It feels really good for young people to be running the business world."

"..."

Jiang Beicheng's performance today has garnered him many fans online and won the favor of many netizens.

President Jiang's pursuit of truth is about seeking the real.

The host quickly tried to save face for Zhang Wenzhong, saying, "Thank you to our experts for sharing. Now let's look at the most popular topics online and the questions raised by netizens."

Given the current market downturn, where is the breakthrough point for the service industry?

His gaze fell upon the people on the stage.

Jiang Beicheng directly reached out to Zhang Wenzhong.

It wasn't that I was giving Zhang Wenzhong face, but rather that he didn't like giving advice to his colleagues.

In the current environment, no one can guarantee that their experience will be useful to others.

If you plunge in headfirst, you'll end up in a stagnant pool.

Even if they managed to climb ashore, they would only be half alive.

If you absolutely had to ask him for advice, he would suggest that everyone hold onto their money tightly, observe the market first, and avoid making reckless investments.

The seniors have many ideas, so let them have the opportunity to share their thoughts.

Zhang Wenzhong is much like the entrepreneurs of his generation who went into business and started their own businesses; he likes to share his life experiences and insights.

The bosses in the audience, who were older than Jiang Beicheng, especially enjoyed listening to their seniors' guidance.

This allowed Zhang Wenzhong to save face again.

There was warm applause.

After he finished speaking, the host read the comments from netizens: "I saw that one netizen kept refreshing the screen and was very active."

Perfect timing, we have a live video link segment today.

"Would the director be willing to connect with this netizen from Shanghai?"

A moment later, images from netizens appeared on the big screen.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The netizen was lying in a hospital bed, smiling and waving hello.

Host: "Let's give him a round of applause."

There was warm applause.

Host: "Sir, would you mind introducing yourself?"

The man maintained his smile: "My surname is Shen. I'm just an ordinary citizen working in Shanghai. This is my tenth year here."

As Brother Shen finished speaking, a person suddenly popped into Jiang Beicheng's mind.

The host asked, "Brother Shen, do you have any questions for the four distinguished guests on stage today?"

Brother Shen smiled and shook his head: "I am very happy to be connected with you. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to President Jiang on the stage."

Thank you for giving me a second life.

All eyes on Jiang Beicheng were fixed on him, filled with confusion.

"I broke my leg in a fall at work a while ago, and all sorts of life pressures piled up on me. When I was at my most desperate, Mr. Jiang helped me stand up again."

The comment section of Beicheng Hotel is a place where ordinary people like us find spiritual sustenance. Although we can't afford to eat at Beicheng Hotel, the hotel has never looked down on us and has created an environment where we can support and encourage each other.

I simply expressed my distress in the comments section, hoping to get everyone's encouragement. I never expected that Mr. Jiang would send someone to help me resolve the rent issue and even find a lawyer to help me get compensation.

Brother Shen choked up and started crying as he spoke.

"I just heard several bosses talking about truth, goodness, and beauty on stage. I don't have a high level of education, so I don't have a deep understanding of it. What I want to say is, what else can the actions of Beicheng Hotel and President Jiang be but truth, goodness, and beauty?"

After calming down, Brother Shen said, "President Jiang, after I am discharged from the hospital, I will definitely earn enough money with my own hands to take my family to the Beicheng Hotel for a meal. Thank you."

He stood up, leaning on his cane, and bowed deeply to Jiang Beicheng.
