Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 407 A Gift Worth Millions

The arrival of the He sisters surprised Jiang Beicheng.

Inviting him to the opening of the Hejia Shopping Mall was already a great honor for him.

There's no need to be so polite.

The van stopped in front of the luxury residence in Jiangbei City, and Jiangbei City officials went to greet them.

"President Jiang, it's great to finally meet you. Please give me your guidance."

The eldest sister of the He family is a very humble person.

"President He, I am flattered that you have come to visit me in person. Please forgive me if I have not been hospitable enough." Jiang Beicheng hugged her.

The young woman standing next to them maintained a polite smile, but her heart was already racing.

The business tycoon of Jiangnan City is actually such a talented young man.

Her looks are on par with top celebrities in the entertainment industry.

He exudes a strong masculine aura.

This overturned his perception of mainland tycoons; the Mr. Jiang before him was more in line with the image of a rich second-generation.

"President Jiang, this is my younger sister," the eldest sister of the He family introduced.

"Mr. Jiang, hello, nice to meet you." He Chaolian extended her hand to Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng shook hands with her, smiled and nodded, "Nice to meet you."

He warmly invited them, "Please come in and have a seat."

"The surrounding environment around President Jiang's house is very comfortable." The He family members glanced at the layout of the building and followed Jiang Beicheng into the house, praising it.

Jiang Beicheng explained, "The developer of Rongcheng has created a benchmark residential project in Jiangnan City, designed according to the standards of a 4A-level scenic spot in mainland China."

The experience should be even better once it's finished.

The eldest sister of the He family said, "It's clear that Mr. Jiang is a man of leisure and refined taste."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and replied, "President He is right. When I'm not working, I like to fish and drink tea."

My friends in political and business circles all say that there's a little old man living inside me.

He Xiaomei covered her mouth and laughed, praising, "Perhaps they meant to express maturity and composure."

Jiang Beicheng said, "I'll take it as a compliment."

He walked to the tea table in the courtyard and invited the He sisters to sit down.

The two sat down and felt the ambiance of a winding stream in President Jiang's courtyard.

At their first meeting, what impressed them most about President Jiang was his elegance.

Jiang Beicheng poured tea for the two of them: "It's green tea grown on my own tea plantation."

My daily staple tea.

"Please try it. If you don't like it, I'll have the butler change it."

"Thank you." The eldest sister of the He family tasted it: "The tea has a delicate aroma, excellent texture, and a fresh, sweet taste."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "When President He's words reach the ears of the tea plantation employees, they will definitely feel extremely proud."

It's comparable to Longjing tea.

The eldest sister of the He family smiled, put down her teacup, and looked at her younger sister.

The younger sister got up, opened the gift box she had brought, and carefully took out the purple clay teapot from the box.

Jiang Beicheng recognized the work at a glance: "Wang Yinxian's Qu teapot."

Wang Yinxian is most famous for his curved teapots.

She studied under Gu Jingzhou, created her own school, and became a second-generation master of Yixing teapots.

Given the He family's status, they wouldn't give away a fake or a newly fired teapot as a gift.

It is undoubtedly a work by Wang Yinxian.

"President Jiang has a very deep understanding of tea sets," said the eldest sister of the He family. "At the beginning of the year, I went to China Guardian Auction House and bought this curved teapot."

Having learned from a friend that Mr. Jiang has a great fondness for tea ceremony and tea sets, I asked my younger sister to bring some over for Mr. Jiang to sample.

Even when giving gifts, they do so with such elegance.

The He family is very sincere.

This teapot would fetch at least a million at auction.

Jiang Beicheng said modestly, "President He, I am unworthy of such an honor."

Before the He family, no merchants from other places had ever come to pay their respects to them.

On the surface, the eldest sister of the He family gave a teapot worth millions, but in reality, she gave Jiang Beicheng an immense amount of face.

"Her skill in unglazed pottery is no less than that of her master, Gu Jingzhou."

Despite saying he felt unworthy of it, Jiang Beicheng had already accepted it.

If they don't accept it, the eldest sister of the He family will lose face. It will be very difficult to make friends with the He family then.

They don't care about this small amount of money; like Jiang Beicheng, they care about saving face.

Jiang Beicheng was being modest, but he was actually just giving face to the eldest sister of the He family.

Leave her a good impression.

After admiring it, I put it back in the box.

Secretary Shen walked up with a smile, took the money from Jiang Beicheng's hand, and accepted it on his behalf.

Jiang Beicheng poured tea for the two sisters, raised his teacup to offer them tea, and said, "Welcome to Jiangnan City, both of you."

The eldest sister of the He family smiled and raised her glass in return to Jiangbei City.

With President Jiang's welcoming words, Jiangnan City's dockworkers were officially acquainted.

"Please give me your guidance, Mr. Jiang."

"Learn from Mr. He."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

They sat in the mansion for a while, drank tea, chatted, and strengthened their relationship.

After the food was prepared at the Beicheng Hotel, Jiang Beicheng invited the two to move over for a meal.

I went to the Beicheng Hotel MixC branch.

"Is it Mr. Jiang's own restaurant?" He Xiaomei asked.

Stepping into the restaurant, a sense of comfort is instantly felt.

It's not the kind of comfort that requires focusing on a particular detail, but rather the overall atmosphere of the restaurant that makes you feel very comfortable.

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

The waiters on duty greeted each other politely.

After addressing them, she warmly welcomed the two He sisters.

“My mother used to run a restaurant, so I guess I inherited her business.” Jiang Beicheng pushed open the door to the private room and invited the two to sit down and dine.

The food in the Greater Bay Area is relatively light.

Today's dishes are also mainly fresh and fragrant.

He Xiaomei commented based on her experience: "It was more comfortable than many Michelin-starred restaurants I've ever been to."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "My guiding principle in the catering industry has always been the customer's genuine experience."

No external rating is required.

The North City Hotel also declined Michelin and Black Pearl ratings.

"Thumbs up for President Jiang! You're a breath of fresh air in the catering industry," He Xiaomei praised, raising her glass to Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng raised his glass to the two men: "I hope it suits your taste."

The two sisters gave it a very high rating after tasting it.

He Xiaomei exclaimed excitedly, "President Jiang, if you open one in Hong Kong or Macau, it will definitely be a huge hit!"

Jiangbei Chengdao said, "There are plans for Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore."

The team below is making progress.

In the catering sector, I handed the stage over to them.

We anticipate opening a store in Hong Kong next year.

If the Hong Kong store were opened according to the scale and standards of the mainland, the investment would be several times higher.

Rent, labor costs... all costs are much higher than in the mainland.

Even for a shop with an investment exceeding 50 million, his approval is still required.

The eldest sister of the He family said, "When you arrive in Hong Kong, be sure to contact me and do your best to be a good host for President Jiang."

"You're too kind, Ms. He." Jiang Beicheng clinked glasses with her. "On behalf of the business community of Jiangnan City, I welcome Ms. He to invest in Jiangnan City, share opportunities, and seek common development."

Wishing you great success in your business, Mr. He.

He may not be able to represent the Jiangnan City General Chamber of Commerce.

However, it can represent the business community of Jiangnan City.

Although his official title is not as impressive as that of some of the elders in the Chamber of Commerce, his social influence has already surpassed that of the Chamber's main leaders.

His words were also a statement to the eldest sister of the He family, indicating that the He family sincerely wanted to befriend him in Jiangnan City, and he would naturally show his magnanimity, work with the He family to maintain a good business environment in Jiangnan City, and contribute to the economic development of Jiangnan City.

At the same time, he would not stand idly by if the He family encountered any trouble in Jiangnan City.
