Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 366 made Wang Xing angry.

Mengnan Finance, a financial blogger with 20 million followers: "Family members, the food delivery market has been incredibly lively lately."

JD.com and Meituan are locked in a fierce battle, and Ele.me has joined forces with Taobao to fight for their respective territories. They're fighting tooth and nail.

Do you remember when our CEO Liu personally delivered takeout and treated the delivery guys to hot pot?
This time, our General Manager Liu went to Chengdu to treat our colleague to dinner, and he also brought along General Manager Jiang, the owner of Beicheng Restaurant.

Mr. Jiang is renowned in the catering industry. The annual profits of several branches of Beicheng Hotel can surpass those of Pang Donglai. This is not my opinion, but Mr. Jiang's own statement at this year's Service Industry CEO Summit.

With President Jiang getting involved, the food delivery market has become even more lively.

I've seen many netizens questioning President Jiang, saying he lacks ability. Today, I feel compelled to talk about President Jiang with my fellow netizens.

Mr. Jiang, a representative of young entrepreneurs in Jiangnan City, is 28 years old. His wealth is unknown, but according to my information, it is unfathomable.

Many netizens think that his business empire only includes the Beicheng Hotel, but you are very wrong. President Jiang opened the restaurant purely out of personal hobby and passion.

Let's take a look at this list first, the annual ranking of domestic private equity funds. There is a company called Lian Capital in the top ten. Did you see it?

The fund under management exceeds 10 billion yuan.

The founder of this private equity fund is our 28-year-old CEO, Mr. Jiang.

"Let's take another look at Lian Capital's investment projects. In less than a year since its establishment, it has invested in a total of 199 projects."

Among them, there are more than 70 projects with a scale of over 100 million yuan.

There are 21 projects with a scale of one billion yuan.

There are also six projects worth over 6 billion yuan.

"Let's look at its investment areas: healthcare, entertainment, AI, robotics, low-altitude economy, new energy..."

I'll focus on three projects for you.

Our first medical project involved Lian Capital building a 10 billion RMB-level traditional Chinese medicine industry cluster in Guizhou, with a medicinal herb planting area of ​​1.5 million mu. Do you know how many rural families this has benefited?
The second entertainment project, which has recently attracted the most attention in the entertainment industry, is Yizhi Culture Media. It has raised hundreds of millions of yuan in just a few months since its establishment, which is unheard of in the entertainment industry. This shows how strong Mr. Jiang's fundraising ability is.

Let's guess how much capital is backing him.

The third intelligent driving project was a smart driving project by Lian Capital and Geely Group called Wanli Technology. This project is comparable to Huawei's vehicle business, and Geely cars have basically used the vehicle business services provided by Wanli Intelligent Driving across their entire lineup.

I believe that it won't be long before it comes close to HarmonyOS in the automotive business market. As far as I know, many major companies have already started to contact Wanli Technology.

These are just a few scattered examples from Lian Capital.

People might say that Lian Capital is a private equity fund that manages other people's money, so what does its business empire have to do with Mr. Jiang?

Then we have to examine the equity structure of Lian Capital. It's safe to say that Mr. Jiang has absolute control over Lian Capital, and a lot of the money coming in from overseas also belongs to Mr. Jiang. I'll stop here and let everyone guess.

Does anyone still dare to say that President Jiang lacks the ability to run a food delivery business?

Xiao Lin, a financial blogger with millions of followers: "My dear fans, today I'm going to talk about President Jiang and Lian Capital."

Over the past year, Lian Capital has been very active in the secondary market.

In the well-known automotive industry, such as Great Wall Motors, Li Auto, and Changan Automobile, Mr. Jiang's presence can be seen on the stock market.

In the entertainment industry, Enlight Media, which made hundreds of millions of yuan this year thanks to "Ne Zha 2", also has Li'an Capital among its shareholders.

Semiconductors, artificial intelligence, new energy... In the secondary market, Liann Capital is one of the operators in these booming industries.

Here's another tidbit: Lian Capital recently secured investments from the Saudi and Russian sovereign wealth funds.

Now two more sovereign wealth funds are coming in: the Singapore sovereign wealth fund and the Thai royal family fund. It is said that Hai Lin, a partner at Lian Capital, went to Singapore to attend a financial summit to discuss cooperation with these two sovereign wealth funds.

Now do you all know how powerful this President Jiang is? Wizard Finance: "Let me tell you this: in China, when it comes to cash flow, President Jiang is definitely one of the top performers."

Why did Mr. Liu choose Mr. Jiang over other partners and even invite him to dine with the delivery guys?
It's because President Jiang has a lot of cash.

With cash, you can leverage bank leverage and make the financial snowball roll. I won't say here whether President Jiang can defeat Meituan, but he certainly has the strength to take the stage.

When Mr. Liu started Meituan, Mr. Jiang gave him 1 million yuan in the first round, and it was in US dollars.

I will definitely continue to support JD.com in the future.

Do you know why President Jiang has so much cash? His family used to be in the mining industry, with several mining areas in Africa.

Those online mocking President Jiang for lacking ability are pure haters.

These self-media outlets are like storytellers in ancient times, fabricating stories, praising others, and trying to grab attention.

Following the trend of analyzing Jiangbei City, they directly portrayed him as a mythical and legendary figure.

Jiang Beicheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw these videos.

After reading the comments from netizens, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"President Jiang is the cash king of China, really. I've been to his house. There's a vault in the basement of his house, full of gold. At the current gold price, it's worth at least tens of billions."

"President Jiang has a lot of money deposited in Swiss banks. Don't ask me how I know."

"President Jiang has businesses in Singapore and Hong Kong, and is also involved in finance. He is very powerful."

"To put it simply, President Jiang is one of those hidden billionaires who isn't listed on the Forbes list. His family is very powerful in Australia."

"Think about what General Jiang's ancestors did."

"..."

The more rumors spread, the more outrageous it becomes.

However, Jiang Beicheng found it quite interesting.

Although these statements are unrealistic at the moment, they could become a reality if he wanted to exploit the system rules to make money like crazy.

Jiang Beicheng didn't rush to work on the system rules because his current qualifications, abilities, and other aspects were not yet commensurate with such high wealth and social status.

They still treat the system as an aid to self-improvement.

Number of smiles: 1150/10000

Jiang Beicheng's eyes lit up.

I've been paying attention to the system data for a while now, and the number of smiles I've received has actually increased by several hundred points.

It's probably because the internet has praised him too much this time; all his employees, friends, and relatives are proud of him and feel honored by his success.

……

Just as Jiangbei City finished showing off, Meituan founder and co-CEO Wang Xing frowned deeply.

Seeing comments on the internet praising Jiang Beicheng and Liu Qiangdong while belittling him must make me feel uncomfortable.

Business is business, and it should be fought the way it should be fought, but this President Jiang has repeatedly made veiled attacks and even acted arrogantly towards him, which has made him a little angry.

A phone call reached the vice president of the core local business division, preparing to take action to curb Jiangbei City's arrogance. The first target was Beicheng Hotel, which Jiangbei City was proud of.
