Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 360 President Jiang's Death Order

If the September issue of "Shangcheng" only sells three million copies, Yang Mi will be crushed by marketing accounts. Such a prestigious September issue has sales less than one-third of Liu Yifei's July issue.

Everyone in Jiangbei could foresee the public opinion that Yang Mi would face.

This will have a significant impact on her personal image and market value.

After all, she was taking a gamble with the brand this time.

Five million is a minimum requirement to pass.

During the peak fashion season of September and October, coupled with the year-end gala, Wu Wen needs to boost both her data and her reputation.

This directly impacted the second round of financing for "Shangcheng".

If the results are poor, there is a high chance that the company will be abandoned by the capital market.

If Jiangbei City cannot secure new financing, it will consider market consolidation and acquire Shangcheng with Yizhi Culture Media, thus eliminating Wu Wen from the market.

Jin Jiukan was a jujube he fed to Yang Mi.

It was also a whip thrown to Wu Wen, urging her to use all her might to grab the spotlight in the fashion season where the five major fashion magazines gathered.

Wu Wen understood the meaning of the number "five million" that Jiang Beicheng mentioned.

We must give President Jiang a definite answer; it is imperative.

If you can't do it, find a way to do it.

After Jiang Beicheng finished explaining things, he smiled and sat down on the sofa. Wu Wen brought him a cup of coffee.

As usual, Wu Wen closed the smart curtains and sat down next to Jiang Beicheng.

"President Jiang, you're wearing shiny black stockings today," Wu Wen said with a smile.

Jiang Beichen reached out and touched her thigh: "Feels nice, is it open-crotch?"

Wu Wen nodded, smiling as she pulled her bodycon skirt up a little.

"Please come in!"

Jiang Beicheng was amused by her "Please come in".

He reached out and patted her thigh, instructing her, "In the fourth quarter, Shangcheng must produce something to show the fashion industry."

After saying that, he took a sip of coffee, got up, and left.

Wu Wen quickly put on her dress and followed along.

After seeing President Jiang off, she returned to her office and became restless.

Why isn't President Jiang interested today?

Is it because their lunch break romance has lost its novelty?
Did President Jiang find out that he had gone to find Liu Shuyun's two best friends and tried to form an alliance of interests?

Wu Wen thought for a moment, figuring out how to please President Jiang.

The only certainty is that President Jiang highly values ​​the data from the peak sales season of September and October, as well as the influence of the annual gala.

She was once again cornered by President Jiang, with no way out.

Jiang Beicheng didn't actually have that many thoughts on his mind. Women are sensitive and like to try to figure out what their sugar daddies are up to.

However, Jiangbei City did tacitly allow these women to use their petty schemes and tricks.

Enjoy the feeling of being a trader.

I didn't have a lunch break with Wu Wen today because there was a very important project seminar at Lian Capital.

A strategic investment meeting regarding AI's big model.

The partners held two different opinions: one was the "AI large model application" approach, and the other was the "AI large model performance" approach.

Simply put, the "application roadmap" is designed to "empower" various application scenarios.

This approach is low-cost, does not require extreme computing power, and makes reasonable use of various data from digital cities, applying them efficiently to the market.

However, the "performance" route is a completely different direction. It requires solving not only computing power issues, but also multiple issues such as chips and energy.

Investing money is just the beginning; a complete industrial chain is needed to support it.

It seems to be a pursuit of global technology leaders.

The meaning of Jiangbei City is to first base itself on the national conditions and prioritize the market.

However, we cannot give up on technological competition; at the very least, we cannot fall behind. We must catch up and compete relentlessly. Hailin agrees with Jiang Beicheng's view: "As private equity firms, our primary responsibility is to our investors."

Distinguish between primary and secondary priorities, focusing on the market and investment returns.

Then, based on the actual conditions, try to join the technological competition.

The path of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) cannot be accomplished by a single large model, nor can it be managed by an investment firm.

It reflects a country's national strength and technological prowess.

On this path, we must understand ourselves in order to walk steadily.

Jiangbei City applauded.

The partners applauded.

Do the other partners have any other ideas?

Seeing that no one spoke, Jiang Beicheng stood up and said, "Let's end the meeting here for today."

After leaving the conference room, I went to Hailin's office and sat down for a while to drink tea.

"The Asian Financial Summit in Singapore has sent us an invitation. Should we go or should I go?" Hailin asked.

“Go ahead, Uncle Hailin. Ms. Qian is over there; let her go with her.” Jiang Beicheng said frankly, “My current focus is mainly on the entertainment industry.”

Hailin nodded and patted Jiang Beicheng on the shoulder. "Take your time."

He knew that the entertainment industry, this cash cow, was being squeezed by many investors, including several major domestic internet companies. If Jiang Beicheng wanted to get a piece of the pie, he not only had to put a lot of effort into the content, but also had a lot of other things to do.

This track is actually not that easy to navigate.

Jiang Beicheng smiled at Hailin, still confident in himself.

……

Shanghai Yangmi Studio.

"Has the cover for 'Shangcheng' been released yet?" Yang Mi rushed to the studio to inquire about the situation as soon as she returned from filming in Hengdian.

The September issues of the five major fashion magazines, namely VOGUE, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, ELLE, and Vogue, have all been released.

The highest sales volume to date is over six million.

Yang Mi was most anxious because "Shangcheng" was delayed in its release.

She turned down invitations from the top five fashion magazines to snatch the September issue of "Shangcheng" magazine, determined to turn her fortunes around during the fashion season.

"Sister, I've already urged them, and they said they'll send us the plan in the next couple of days," the business representative reported.

"I'll call General Manager Wu," Yang Mi said.

He made a direct phone call to Wu Wen.

"Mr. Wu, have you set a release date? Is there anything I can do to assist you?" Yang Mi asked politely.

Despite the urgency, their communication skills remained at a very high level.

"Mi-jie, I'll send you the promotional plan in a bit, and I'll try to send you the cover design by tonight. This time we're going to go for a pre-sale to create two waves of hype and get more exposure."

Sister Mi, I'm even more nervous than you are. President Jiang gave me a strict order: if the sales of this issue's physical magazine don't go up, I won't be able to explain it to President Jiang.

"So I hope we can give each other enough trust," Wu Wen said truthfully.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wu." As Yang Mi finished asking her questions and was about to hang up, she added, "Is Mr. Jiang currently in Jiangnan City?"

“Yes, President Jiang is currently focusing his work on the entertainment industry,” Wu Wen said.

"Okay, Mr. Wu, I'll come to Jiangnan City to have coffee with you another day."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi scrolled through her phone and found Jiang Beicheng's number. She thought about calling him, but didn't press the call button.

I still feel a little upset about the feeling of being ignored when President Jiang hung up on me in Beijing last time.

However, the two pieces of information she received from Wu Wen today made her feel that President Jiang was still paying attention to her.

Wu Wen said that President Jiang gave her a strict order, which meant that he had to help her boost the sales of the physical magazine, and the result would definitely not be too bad.

President Jiang is now focusing his main energy on the entertainment industry, which means he will definitely be active in the entertainment circle at the end of the year. For those artists who have been in contact with President Jiang for a long time, they may be able to share some good resources.
