Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 386 The Old Chief

Jiang Beicheng specially asked Lao Pi to come and give him a haircut.

In Lao Pi's words, he got a "department-level hairstyle".

Jiang Beicheng looked at himself in the mirror and saw that he looked refreshed and full of righteousness.

Having spent a considerable amount of time in the entertainment industry recently, I've picked up some of the bad habits of those who have connections with wealthy patrons.

When visiting the municipal party committee, one must be presentable and upright.

Then, Aunt Shen was dressed in a formal suit and taken to the municipal party committee as a guest with senior executives from Lian Capital.

This was his first visit to the municipal party committee since he started doing business; he had previously visited the municipal government more often.

He was also the highest-ranking leader he had ever met.

Young people are definitely a little nervous.

However, through so much experience in the political and business world, he has developed a strong ability to manage his emotions.

The group first followed the secretary and office director to the municipal committee's reception room.

"The Party Secretary will be here shortly," the municipal party committee secretary said. "President Jiang, please have a seat for a while."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Jiang Beicheng replied.

They did not take a seat, but waited in the reception room for the leaders to arrive.

A meeting of this caliber would definitely be broadcast on television, and state media would provide coverage.

It's not enough to just be polite; you have to show substance.

A moment later, the secretary walked into the reception room with a smile on his face.

Jiang Beicheng went to greet them.

The two shook hands.

Jiang Beicheng greeted him politely, "Secretary, hello."

The Party Secretary greeted him with a smile, "Chairman Jiang, welcome, welcome."

He extended his hand to invite Jiang Beicheng to sit down.

The two took their seats in the middle of the reception room, while other municipal officials and senior executives from Lian Capital took their seats in the left and right rows respectively.

The shots from official media are positioned towards the back of the middle.

The Party Secretary said, "Welcome Chairman Jiang and the comrades from Lian Capital to the Municipal Party Committee to discuss cooperation."

Lian Capital is a leading local financial investment company in Jiangnan City, with a wide investment scope and strong capital strength, providing strong financial support and protection for the development of various industries in Jiangnan City...

The significant contributions made by Lian Capital to the industrial development of Jiangnan City were acknowledged.

The secretary continued, "Jiangnan City is a mega-city, located in the heart of the national strategy, with a strong industrial base, excellent innovation resources, a vibrant economy and society, and enormous potential."

Over the past year, Jiangnan City has focused on building a modern manufacturing cluster system, cultivating and developing high-quality productivity in accordance with local conditions, and promoting high-quality economic development with an upward trend.

Currently, the entire city is committed to making the high-quality development of the private economy a key task in building a modern new city, creating a first-class business environment, and accelerating the development of a highland for the private economy.

We hope that local companies like Lian Capital can take root in the local area, strengthen external communication, maintain close ties with the municipal party committee and government, and share development opportunities.

We will deepen cooperation in high-tech industries, cultural tourism industries, and the financial industry to achieve high-level mutual benefit and win-win results.

Jiangnan City will do its utmost to provide service and support to promote deeper and more practical cooperation between the two sides.

Jiang Beicheng was deeply moved by the secretary's words.

This demonstrates the high importance that the Jiangnan municipal government attaches to the private economy and its concern for the development of local enterprises.

The Party Secretary was promoted from Zhejiang Province, and the team he led attaches great importance to the high-quality development of the private economy.

Let's avoid empty talk, focus on reality, and work together for development.

Jiangbei City expressed its gratitude to the Jiangnan Municipal Party Committee and Government for their significant support for the development of Lian Capital.

He also introduced to the secretary several projects worth tens of billions of yuan that Lian Capital is currently advancing, as well as its layout in cutting-edge technology fields such as artificial intelligence.

"Jiangnan City boasts a superior business environment and outstanding comprehensive advantages. Lian Capital is full of confidence in the economic development of Jiangnan City."

Lian Capital will continue to deepen its presence in the local market, increase its investment portfolio, accelerate the implementation of agreed-upon matters, and cooperate closely with the municipal government in areas such as biomedicine, artificial intelligence, new energy, tourism and culture, and financial services.

To make a greater contribution to the construction of modern new cities.

Representatives from all sides applauded.

After discussing work-related issues in the reception room, Jiang Beicheng shook hands with the Party Secretary and faced the television cameras to record this historic moment.

For Jiangbei City, today's meeting is a historic moment.

Following reports on the meeting today from the internal network and television stations, his status in the Jiangnan City business community will be significantly enhanced.

He went from being a newcomer to the Chamber of Commerce to becoming a core member.

Together with several well-known second-generation entrepreneurs, they will shoulder the important responsibility of developing the private economy in Jiangnan City in the future.

Because the Party Secretary also had another special identity, Jiang Beicheng received national-level recognition after this meeting.

They received more attention.

It has a stronger influence.

After the meeting, Jiang Beicheng would go to the secretary's office for a while.

That was a very formal meeting, a dialogue between government leaders and business leaders.

After they leave the camera's view, it's a chat between elders and younger generations.

On the way to the secretary's office, Jiang Beichen took a breath and asked Hailin softly, "Uncle Hailin, did I mess up today?"

After all, this was my first time attending a meeting of this level.

I care a lot about my performance today.

Hai Lin used to be the vice president of Jiangnan City Commercial Bank Group and had met with the leaders of the municipal party committee. He was very pleased and gave Jiangbei City a thumbs up.

His son-in-law had not disappointed him; he had completely transformed.

You performed very well today, and your speech was also very skillful.

Jiang Beicheng smiled, feeling a little proud in front of his "father-in-law".

When I arrived at the secretary's office, the leaders of the garrison were also there. There was also an old commander sitting on the sofa.

"Secretary," the old leader greeted him as he stood up.

The Party Secretary introduced Jiang Beicheng to the former leader.

The old leader, who was over seventy years old, was dressed in a Zhongshan suit and looked very energetic.

Jiang Beicheng learned from the Party Secretary that before the military region was changed to a war zone, this old leader held an important position in a certain military region.

He was also a veteran and former commander who fought in the Sino-Vietnamese War.

This immediately reminded Jiangbei City of the veterans' club that came to Jiangnan City for a self-driving tour during the National Day holiday, where several veterans of the Sino-Vietnamese War were also present.

Although their ranks were far lower than that of the old commander, they were all heroes who had fought on the same battlefield.

They might even be soldiers that this old commander used to lead.

"This is the old leader, Jiang Beicheng," the secretary introduced.

Jiang Beicheng respectfully addressed him as "Commander" and shook hands with him.

The old leader shook Jiang Beicheng's hand and said, "I have been paying close attention to the veterans' incident during the National Day holiday, and I am very satisfied with Jiangnan City's handling of the matter."

I heard from the people below that you, as a young man, were in charge of coordinating everything behind the scenes. Your respect for us veterans of the Sino-Vietnamese War touched me deeply.

Young man, I admire you.

Jiang Beicheng said, "Thank you for your affirmation, sir. This is something that the whole society should do, and it is also the duty of us young people. We must set a good example for the next generation."

Let our veterans and retired soldiers enjoy the respect of the whole society.

Let our active-duty military personnel feel the highest honor.

"Hahaha, well said, I like it." The old commander patted Jiang Beicheng's arm and invited him to sit down with a smile.

I sat in the secretary's office for a while.

Lunch was served in the municipal party committee's reception hall. The senior executives of Lian Capital left after the meeting, while Jiang Beicheng and the leaders left after finishing their lunch.

"Mr. Jiang, shall we go home or not?" asked Xie Jun, the driver.

Jiang Beicheng said, "Let's go to Lian Capital first, then to Baicheng Catering."

"Okay," Xie Jun replied.

After the meeting at the Municipal Party Committee, I will definitely go back and convey the content and spirit of the meeting.

This is an entrepreneur's political awareness.

Everyone in the company is proud of their boss.

He brought back better development opportunities and better preferential policies.

Number of smiles: 2888/10000

After the company conveyed the meeting's content, Jiang Beicheng went home with Hailin for dinner.

"Baby's on TV!" Haitangxi said with a smile as she hugged Jiangbeicheng.

Jiang Beichen hugged her waist and kissed her lips. "To be honest, after listening to the secretary's speech, my palms were sweating. I was afraid I would say the wrong thing."

“You’re more capable than me,” Hailin said jokingly as he sat down to eat. “I only dared to speak up and communicate with the leaders after I went with my superiors a few times.”

The moment you went up there today, you really got the air about you.

He smiled and said to Zhou Ya, "Your son-in-law is a born businessman."

Zhou Ya looked at Jiang Beicheng proudly and said, "How could the son-in-law I've chosen be bad?"

She is absolutely smitten with Jiang Beicheng right now.

Especially at her old friend's daughter's wedding, Jiang Beicheng helped her save face.

"My mom is cooking for me today. She never used to lift a finger, so you should eat more." Haitangxi gave Jiang Beicheng a wink.

Jiang Beichen joked, "Sister Xi, are you implying something?"

Zhou Ya immediately understood and said disdainfully, "If you're not going to eat, just order takeout yourself."

"No, my dear mother, you've worked so hard." Haitangxi smiled as she ate.

The family atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

After dinner, Jiang Beicheng had tea with Hailin for a while, and later went to sleep on Park Avenue with Haitangxi.

He has now moved to a new luxury residence in Wanhua, and returned the large flat on Park Avenue to Haitangxi.

When Haitangxi isn't busy with work, he'll come over and spend some time with his first wife.

Just as he finished his work, Jiang Beicheng's phone rang.

I picked it up and saw it was a WeChat call from Mr. Wei.

Jiang Beicheng was a little surprised. Why was Master Wei calling so late?
However, considering the time difference, it should be morning in the United States right now.

"Good morning, Master Wei!" Jiang Beicheng greeted him respectfully.

He had a good personal relationship with this local tyrant of Jiangnan City, the former "local emperor," and the two had heard of each other before.

During the DNA Bar anniversary celebration, Liang Gongzi from Dongyin almost couldn't leave Jiangnan City after causing trouble in his LaFerrari. It was Master Wei who called him and asked him to give him face.

Jiang Beicheng gave Master Wei face, and the two then communicated a lot in private.

Mr. Wei also introduced him to many friends in China.

"What do you mean 'early'?" Wei said with a smile. "I'm in China, just landed. Come to my place for dinner tomorrow, I'll send you my location."

“Yes, Master Wei,” Jiang Beicheng replied.

Master Wei had said long ago that he would treat him to a meal when he returned to China, and he was also eager to meet this legendary figure from Jiangnan City.

He hung up the phone and went to sleep with his wife in his arms.

The following afternoon, Xie Jun was asked to drive to Master Wei's manor.

To Jiang Beicheng's surprise, he met the old leader he had seen in the secretary's office again at Wei Ye Manor.
