Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 368 President Jiang's status in the entertainment industry has risen again.
"Yizhi Culture Media has said that they dare not accept this endorsement from Meituan."

"Having just raised several hundred million yuan, they certainly have the confidence. With JD.com, Today Capital, Hillhouse Capital, and Juyuan Capital behind them, who would dare to mess with them?"

"General Jiang was able to get Li Xing out of Myanmar. His network of connections is extensive and complex. It's best not to go against him."

"Regarding Li Xing's matter, President Jiang should be respected in the entertainment industry."

"Forget it, it's just an endorsement. Don't push your own artists into a fire pit."

"It's best not to get involved in the competition for capital, or you'll suffer a terrible fate."

"..."

After Jiang Beicheng made his statement, the brand endorsement that was originally highly sought after has now become a hot potato.

Meituan is assessing the risks of the brokerage firms and artist studios it has contacted.

Yizhi Culture Media may not have the power to reshape the rules of the entertainment industry right now, but it is more than enough to target a particular artist.

Whoever accepts the Meituan endorsement deal, Jiangbei City will target them; the word has already been spoken, and it's not a joke.

Meituan is looking for brand ambassadors who are not second- or third-tier celebrities, but rather high-profile or top-tier celebrities with massive online traffic.

The range of choices isn't actually that wide.

After Yang Mi told his colleagues about the rescue of Li Xing, everyone still respected President Jiang.

They were wary of the capital he controlled, but even more afraid of his methods.

The fact that they were able to get people out of the park inevitably leads people to speculate about President Jiang's influence overseas.

They were afraid of being targeted by President Jiang.

Not accepting this endorsement will not affect their activities in the entertainment industry.

After all, the celebrities have no direct contact with Wang Xing.

But President Jiang is different. He is now a rising star in the entertainment industry, a capital player in the industry, and has direct connections with all the artists.

After weighing the pros and cons, several agencies still rejected the endorsement offer.

Jiangbei City had anticipated this outcome.

The reason is simple: Wang Xing, a high-achieving student who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, looks down on the paltry profits of the entertainment industry.

Since returning to China to start my own business, I've never been involved in the entertainment industry.

He has always positioned himself as a promoter of the development of China's internet industry.

Therefore, his personal influence is not that strong in the eyes of celebrities.

Even if you are capital, it's capital that has absolutely no connection with the artists.

No one holds a more important place in their hearts than President Jiang, who is right in front of them.

This endorsement indirectly elevated Jiang Beicheng's status in the entertainment industry.

Those entertainment marketing accounts are hyping it up in all sorts of ways.

The topics were all the same.

President Jiang has spoken, and no one dares to accept Meituan as their spokesperson.

Some of the winners even boasted that President Jiang was the new emperor of the entertainment industry.

Wang Xingzhen never expected that Jiang Beicheng had such a lot of influence in the entertainment industry.

What Meituan can do now is change its mindset, step out of the entertainment industry, find more influential social celebrities to endorse its products, or try a more innovative marketing approach.

This initial test of skill between the two sides resulted in a draw.

For opponents of their caliber, an escape route is prepared from the outset.

I won't let myself lose in an embarrassing way.

But winning spectacularly is also very difficult.

The biggest impact of this probing game between the two sides on Wang Xing is that it made him realize that he now has a formidable opponent.

As long as Jiang Beicheng doesn't withdraw his investment from JD.com, he will have to bear the pressure from both Jiang Beicheng and Liu Qiangdong.

It is estimated that it will continue to compete directly with Jiangbei City in the future.

By then, I wonder what level Jiangbei City will have reached.

Jiang Beicheng planted a seed of worry in his heart.

……

The eldest son returned with his bidding team, and Jiang Beicheng drove to the airport to pick them up. This time, however, Haitangxi's return was not a triumphant one.

They lost to a foreign firm in the final round.

I thought Haitangxi would need some coaxing, but when we met, she was all smiles.

It's the kind of feeling where you accept defeat wholeheartedly.

"Looks like I don't need to coax him anymore," Jiang Beichen joked as he drove.

“I definitely need to soothe the baby, but I’m not that fragile,” Haitangxi sighed. “My research on traditional architectural art is far from sufficient.”

The biggest lesson I learned from this failed bid was that it served as a wake-up call, allowing me to promptly identify my shortcomings.

Do you know who ultimately won the bid?

Jiang Beicheng: "The opponent is very strong?"

Haitangxi nodded: "Pei & Associates".

Jiang Beicheng nodded: "I've heard about it."

“They are very strong in the field of museum architecture design.” Haitangxi said with an admiring tone, “I saw their plans afterward and was very amazed.”

Do you know the Suzhou Museum?
It was Academician I.M. Pei, from this firm, a senior figure I greatly admire.

Jiang Beicheng reached out and held Haitangxi's hand, coaxing her, "My first wife will also achieve such great things in the future."

Haitangxi smiled and said, "You have a good eye."

Jiang Beicheng: "Shall I take you to see my new home? How about we have a romantic evening together?"

"I agree with your suggestion."

Haitangxi tilted her head and kissed Jiang Beicheng's cheek.

He drove her directly to the newly purchased luxury mansion.

"I've seen the design drawings for this project, and the reproduction ratio is very high. Wanhua's quality is trustworthy," Haitangxi said, taking a stroll around and admiring the design.

Jiang Beicheng said, "If you like the environment here, you can move here. I'll stay on Park Avenue."

“I’ve noticed something.” Haitangxi turned around and hugged Jiang Beicheng’s waist, jokingly saying, “I feel like you really enjoy it when others take advantage of you.”

Jiang Beicheng hugged Haitangxi tightly and swayed her from side to side. "The more women take advantage of you, the more it proves your success, doesn't it?"

He gently touched the tip of Haitangxi's nose with his own and said indulgently, "Such a great deal is not something that just anyone can take advantage of."

Haitangxi: "Should I feel honored?"

Jiang Beicheng: "Yes, my first wife."

He kissed Haitangxi's lips.

"Baby, have you abstained from pornography for a while?"

"I'm saving all the self-discipline I've put in during this time for Sister Xi."

"Then I'm so happy."

Haitangxi laughed.

She is also very good at providing emotional support in these kinds of situations.

Despite her little brother being a bit of a nuisance, she still cooperated actively.

After taking a shower, I wrapped myself in a towel and lay in Jiang Beicheng's arms, not even wanting to eat lunch.

She just wanted to quietly hold her man and sleep for a while.

Put aside your busy schedule for now.

After you wake up, have a nice dinner with your man.

After dinner, the two took a walk along the artificial lake trail.

"Aren't Li Xingying and Ya Tou in Jiangnan City?" Haitangxi asked Jiangbei City.

"I went to the mountains to do charity work."

"It feels like I haven't taken a day off in about six months." Haitangxi looked at Jiang Beicheng. "Baby, are you under a lot of work pressure lately?"

Jiang Beichen understood what she meant, and put his arm around her shoulder, saying, "Work can be given to others, but I can only accompany Sister Xi."

"Why not take a break, visit the girls, and get close to nature?"
