Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 431 I'll just go say hello!
Number of smiles: 5609/10000

This trip to Paris caused quite a stir, and the system gained a lot of experience points.

Jiangbei City doesn't have such a strong concept of money anymore.

It's not that he doesn't need money or doesn't value it; on the contrary, there are still many areas in his business plan that require significant investment.

For example, cutting-edge technology fields such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and controlled nuclear fusion.

However, current investments are still undergoing a process of natural selection, with no particularly outstanding projects capable of competing on the world stage; most are simply catering to market demands.

It takes time to incubate and accumulate.

If a project stands out and becomes an instant success, Jiangbei City will definitely invest heavily in it.

Billions, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions will be burned into it.

He is not worried about the cash flow problem. As long as the system is upgraded to generate more cash, he can use financial leverage to expand the cash flow.

With the system in place, there's no need to worry about the collapse of one's business or technological empire.

We haven't reached that point yet, so money doesn't really have that much of a presence in our daily lives.

In addition to the 80 million in pocket money provided by the system each month, the salaries and dividends from his affiliated businesses can also satisfy his material needs.

He can now calmly put on airs and say what Jack Ma said back then: "I'm actually not that interested in money."

After saying goodbye to Delphine, I returned to my hotel in Jiangbei City and made a voice call to my lover who was taking a nap in the car.

Wu Wen was very happy to receive Jiang Beicheng's call. Although she sometimes felt a great sense of loss because of her "marginal role," at least she was still worthy of Jiang Beicheng's attention.

He gained his favor.

The most important thing is to get his resources.

"President Jiang is a hero in Paris, and he still has time to call me?" Wu Wen said with a smile.

Jiang Beicheng said, "I just remembered my lunch break sweetheart."

Wu Wen: "Hmph~, does President Jiang have to be so direct? It's too hurtful to hear."

Acting cute is a standard tactic.

What if the client is in a good mood today and you want to please her? Then you'll make a profit.

Jiang Beicheng: "Delphina may come to Shangcheng's year-end gala at the end of the year. Send her a formal invitation in the name of Shangcheng."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.

"Who?" Wu Wen asked excitedly.

She had already guessed that it was the eldest princess of LV, but it was still a bit hard to believe.

Like a hallucination.

There was no precedent for this.

Apart from fashion shows held by the brands themselves in China, no luxury brand presidents have ever come to China to participate in events hosted by other platforms or fashion magazines.

Moreover, she is the eldest princess of the Bernard family and the global president of Dior.

Wu Wen was so surprised she couldn't speak.

Who exactly is this sugar daddy I'm clinging to?
She can get all the world's top fashion figures to come to her.

The reaction from the lunch break lovers was expected in Jiangbei City, because after this year-end gala, Shangcheng would launch a new round of financing.

If international fashion icons and high-end luxury brands participate, Shangcheng will receive special attention from the capital market.

Jiang Beicheng joked, "President Wu is deliberately acting like he's never seen the world?"
Is this the future fashion icon of the Chinese entertainment industry?

"Hahaha, I'm incredibly excited right now, my dear President Jiang. If you were by my side, I would definitely lose my composure." Wu Wen laughed and added, "Besides sacrificing myself, I don't know how else to thank you."

Jiang Beicheng felt comfortable hearing this attitude and awareness.

"Just wait patiently," Jiang Beichen joked.

"Be ready to open the door and welcome President Jiang at any time." Wu Wen took the initiative to lead Jiang Beicheng onto the highway.

When a man is so outstanding and willing to help you like this, it's hard for a woman to control her emotions.

The big spender can do whatever he wants.

Jiang Beicheng made a few jokes and then hung up the phone.

Back at the hotel, Jiang Beichen asked Aunt Shen to arrange his flight back to China while he held up the shirt Delphina had given him in the mirror. "Too flamboyant, but it suits your free-spirited personality," Old Pi joked, sipping his coffee.

Jiangbeicheng: "310 million."

Old Pi nearly spat out his coffee. "How much?"

"What 310 million?" Liu Yifei asked as she came over upon hearing the voice.

"Did you sleep well?" Jiang Beicheng asked.

"Mmm." Liu Yifei smiled and nodded, reaching out to touch the shirt in Jiang Beichen's hand. "It feels pretty good."

"Suzhou embroidery, a postmodern artwork by Dior, was given to me by the Princess as a gift," Jiang Beichen joked. "I'm wondering what occasions I can wear it out."

"Wearing this out would make you look incredibly classy; it's much better looking than your leather jacket that costs over 40 yuan," Old Pi commented.

Although he works in the fashion industry, he doesn't understand many of the fashion industry's aesthetic standards.

In his view, it was purely a matter of capital speculation.

This 310 million yuan shirt only has value in terms of Suzhou embroidery, an intangible cultural heritage, and the Dior brand. The graffiti by the graffiti artist is not worth praising.

Liu Yifei said, "It's more expensive than our artists' haute couture; it's truly a work of art."

A very high level of emotional intelligence.

Big-name celebrities only wear multi-million dollar haute couture on very large stages and red carpets.

Moreover, these high-end custom items are not purchased by the individuals themselves; they are either sponsored by the brand or borrowed from the studio.

A shirt priced at 310 million yuan—the only word to describe it is "work of art."

Jiang Beicheng joked, "That's how Western markets and capital markets operate, and they can do whatever they want with it. You can't argue with that."

“I think Beibei can play like this in the future,” Liu Yifei said.

This is not a joke, it's the truth.

If the Chinese entertainment and fashion industry is to be deeply capitalized, she believes Jiang Beicheng must be the one to lead it.

Jiang Beicheng said, "I still prefer things with some depth and cultural symbolism."

They were chatting.

Li Xingying's assistant called Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng frowned slightly after finishing the call.

Seeing the change in his expression, Liu Yifei asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Beicheng said, "Li Xingying was participating in an event in Macau when she was targeted by a foreign force and received threatening messages."

It's probably the same group as last time.

During Li Xingying's birthday party, she was attacked by foreign cyber forces. If she hadn't been able to withstand the pressure, her reputation would have been completely ruined.

Jiang Beicheng guessed that it was the same group of people who were pestering her.

My mistress happened to be in Macau hosting an event for a short video platform.

That group of people set their sights on her again.

The goal is probably still the same: to value her commercial worth on the online platform and force her to cooperate by helping to launder money for underground banks.

Liu Yifei immediately tensed up. She considered Li Xingying a close friend. "I have some friends in Hong Kong and Macau. I'll see if I can ask them for help."

Jiang Beicheng said, "I'll go there myself. This group of people is never going to stop."

I'm going to Hong Kong to pick up my car.

After Lao Pi and Xixi finished their business in Paris, they asked Secretary Shen to arrange a flight for them to return to China.

I'll go to Hong Kong first.

Liu Yifei said, "I'll make the arrangements here. Please be careful."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded: "Don't you trust me to do things?"
I have some friends in Hong Kong and Macau.

"Just say hello in the past, it shouldn't be a big problem."
