Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 401, you think you're so great?

"Director Tao, you're putting me in a difficult position. It's really impossible to clear the area tonight."

Feng Kuzi thought Tao Chuan was just going through the motions, and that he would definitely give him face.

Tao Chuan said directly, "Director Feng, if it's a small crew, I can help you coordinate, but not this crew tomorrow."

Feng Kuzi laughed and said, "Director Tao, if you don't give me this face, I can only go to your General Manager Xu."

He brought up Xu Fu, the general manager of Hengdian Film and Television Group.

He had a good personal relationship with Xu Fu.

Xu Fu was in charge of the entertainment and film and television businesses.

These famous directors held a very high position in Xu Fu's heart.

We have also collaborated on many projects.

Hengdian Film and Television Group also made a lot of money investing in his projects.

By bringing up Xu Fu to intimidate Tao Chuan, Tao Chuan had no choice but to back down and do as he was told.

But to his surprise, Tao Chuan's attitude became even more resolute.

"Even President Xu wouldn't dare to give you that special treatment. Our chairman will be attending the opening ceremony tomorrow afternoon." Tao Chuan said, "Director Feng, please don't make things difficult for me. It's 3 a.m. now. You guys should work overtime to clear the set."

Don't let me get yelled at!

Feng Kuzi sobered up instantly.

Is Xu Yong'an coming over?

This young master is the new head of Hengdian Group.

Hengdian Film and Television Group and Hengdian Film and Television Base Management Committee are just some of the industries under Hengdian Group. Hengdian Group also has interests in multiple industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, and cultural tourism.

It has more than 60 subsidiaries and six listed companies.

After Xu Wenrong retired, Hengdian Group was handed over to his eldest son, Xu Yong'an.

He rarely comes to Hengdian Film and Television or Cultural Tourism unless it's something extremely important; his uncle Xu Fu handles everything.

This young master is coming; the place must be cleared out tonight.

In the entertainment industry, Feng Kuzi felt that he had connections and resources, so he didn't need to rush to curry favor with Jiang Beicheng. Jiang Beicheng should visit him as a junior.

He can disregard the feelings of young people.

However, in Hengdian, he had to give face to the Xu family.

He tilted his head and instructed the stage manager: "Organize people to clear the area immediately."

The stagehands had grievances they dared not voice.

I even wanted to curse Feng Kuzi a few times, "Are you pretending to be someone's mother?"

The attempt to show off failed, and it exhausted the brothers.

It wasn't until eight or nine in the morning, when Yizhi Culture Media was already setting up their stage, that Feng Xiaogang's film crew hadn't even finished packing up.

Jiangbei City landed in Hengdian last night. I went for a morning run this morning and passed by the site of today's opening ceremony. My brows furrowed slightly.

I asked the Changxin Media team, who were involved in this collaboration, "What's the situation here?"

Director Wei also looked puzzled.

Tao Chuan, the director of the management committee, arrived at the scene and asked, "Why hasn't the evacuation been completed yet?"

Upon seeing Jiang Beicheng, he quickly came up to explain, "President Jiang, I clearly told Director Feng's crew last night that they must leave the set before 8 o'clock today."

What is he up to?

His words also sounded somewhat angry.

Jiang Beicheng: "Which Director Feng? Feng Kuzi?"

Tao Chuan nodded, "It's my fault, President Jiang. I've been too lenient with him."

I'll have the management committee send someone over to help right away.

Jiang Beicheng nodded: "Don't disrupt our schedule for today's event."

These kinds of opening ceremonies are held at times that have been specially chosen by a fortune teller.

I wish for a stove that runs smoothly and successfully.

Jiang Beicheng didn't want these trivial matters to affect today's activities. Did this Feng Kuzi really think he was someone important?

Was it done on purpose to show him, or what did it mean?
At the last charity gala, even Zhang Yimou attended, but you old foxes remained as still as Mount Tai. Are you expecting your brother Jiang to come and pay a visit?

Jiang Beicheng doesn't really like these directors in the industry, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige, because they're too arrogant.

He thinks he's someone important.

It's best not to cause him trouble, otherwise we'll make an example of you directors to intimidate your proud film industry.

After Jiang Beicheng finished explaining things, he ran back to the hotel, took a shower, had a meal at the hotel, and asked Shen Jun to arrange a time for him to go out and attend the opening ceremony.

Both the Liang and Xu families must come to show their support; they cannot be impolite.

A commercial vehicle arrived at the scene.

After getting off the bus in Jiangbei City, Liu Tao gave a brief overview of today's event schedule.

A moment later, Xu Yong'an and General Manager Liang also arrived.

General Manager Liang introduced, "Yong'an, this is General Manager Jiang."

"President Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xu Yong'an warmly welcomed Jiang Beicheng to Hengdian.

He learned about General Manager Jiang's achievements from his uncle and only then did he realize that such an extraordinary person existed in China.

They have also ventured into the entertainment industry. With the help of his uncle, Hengdian Film and Television Group and Yizhi Culture Media Group have reached a strategic partnership.

A few days ago, Xu Fu, general manager of Hengdian Film and Television Group, and Liu Tao, CEO of Yizhi Culture Media Group, just attended a signing ceremony.

Hengdian Film & Television Group is also one of the investors in today's project. However, it did not invest money directly, but instead used the venue rental fees as equity investment, which was then given to Yizhi Culture Media for free. Dividends will be distributed according to the investment share ratio.

Although the investment was small, it helped Yizhi Culture Media save money to some extent, allowing them to use that money on drama production and pursue higher quality.

Xu Yong'an heard that Jiang Beicheng was coming to attend the opening ceremony today, and he felt that he should also perform the etiquette of a host and take some time to come and stand by.

This can be considered as consolidating the strategic partnership between the two companies.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to get to know Mr. Jiang, this talented young man.

Jiang Beicheng addressed him as "Chairman Xu!"

He shook hands with him and asked with concern, "How is Grandpa Xu's health?"

"He's in good spirits. Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your concern for my father."

"If it's convenient for you, Mr. Xu, I'd like to pay you a visit," Jiang Beicheng said modestly, "without disturbing your peaceful cultivation."

He is an entrepreneur I greatly admire.

Xu Wenrong, the founder of Hengdian Group, once had a personal wealth exceeding 50 billion yuan.

He is not only a legendary figure in Hengdian, but also a very famous representative of Zhejiang businessmen.

One very important reason why Jiang Beicheng respects him is that he cares about the local people and, after becoming wealthy himself, leads the local people to prosperity as well.

To date, Hengdian Group has always operated under a collective economic model.

When he's out in public, he won't mention that Hengdian Group belongs to the Xu family.

Although that's what the outside world thinks.

In the equity structure of Hengdian Group, the largest shareholder, holding 51% of the shares, is the Hengdian Community Economic Enterprise Federation, which has control over the group.

This federation is a genuine collective economic organization.

It has a very transparent organizational system and election model.

Simply put, Xu Wen'an, the current chairman of Hengdian Group, was elected by everyone.

Similarly, the collective also has the right to replace him.

However, the tacit understanding and consensus reached over the years mean that the Xu family is collectively recognized.

No one stood up and said "no".

The collective voluntarily handed over the group's decision-making power to the Xu family; it was merely a formality.

If Xu Wenrong's business venture hadn't succeeded back then, he would probably have been imprisoned for "illegal fundraising."

Now he has accumulated numerous achievements, is a powerful and influential figure, and is admired by thousands.

Jiang Beicheng felt that as a newcomer to the entertainment industry and a junior in the business world, he should pay a visit to Xu Wenrong, a senior, when he arrived in Hengdian.
