Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 440 The billionaire admires President Jiang greatly!
After enjoying the best of Hong Kong roast goose, Jiang Beicheng and He Long drove their Bugatti Chiron to a private club by Victoria Harbour for afternoon tea.

The simultaneous appearance of the two cars on the main street of the port city was extremely impressive.

Even if citizens and passersby don't know the car owner's identity, they will still stop to admire and take pictures.

Money on the go!
What is a luxury to the wealthy is an unattainable "celestial palace" to ordinary people.

Of course, wealthy people like Jiang Beicheng and He Long wouldn't deliberately seek a sense of superiority in the eyes of ordinary people.

The two cars didn't stop for a moment and drove straight to Victoria Harbour.

K11 Private Club has a membership threshold of one million Hong Kong dollars.

Its founder is Zheng Zhigang, a wealthy young master from the Zheng family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong and even throughout Asia.

Although Jiang Beicheng had never met Zheng Zhigang, he generally approved of the persona he had cultivated.

The two are very similar, both adopting an approachable and down-to-earth CEO persona.

I also have many friends from all walks of life.

The difference is that Zheng Zhigang's starting point was much higher than Jiang Beicheng's.

The empire built by our ancestors is too vast.

His net worth has skyrocketed since he took over New World Development and Chow Tai Fook.

He should be considered the richest young tycoon in the port city.

With Chow Tai Fook as its cash cow, even Holland, who works in the gambling industry, wouldn't dare mention the word "cash" in front of him.

It's no exaggeration to say that among the young wealthy in Hong Kong, Zheng Zhigang is the undisputed king of cash.

Of course, no matter how large his base is, it can't compare to the king of cheating in Jiangbei City.

In Jiangbei City, "cash" is just a fleeting thought.

You can find various channels to cash out special business investment funds.

"Mr. Zheng's masterpiece." He Long led Jiang Beicheng into the K11 private club in Victoria Harbour and introduced it with a smile.

Jiang Beicheng's tone was somewhat sarcastic.

To be honest, K11's concept is good; it aims to create a shopping art center that integrates "art, humanities, and nature."

However, the actual products produced were not satisfactory in Jiangbei City.

It feels a bit like something out of place.

“The artist does have some talent,” Jiang Beicheng replied with a smile.

He Long also sensed the teasing tone in Jiang Beicheng's words and smiled along.

Joking aside, when you're on someone else's home turf, you should still show them some respect.

This topic will be left at that.

Let's move to the tea room for afternoon tea.

This is the first time the club manager has seen He Long visit K11.

It was quite shocking.

The guest I brought looks familiar. Isn't he Jiang Beicheng, the mainland tycoon who was just reported by Hong Kong media?

The manager took it seriously and went to learn more about Jiang Beicheng, only to find out that he was the top tycoon who had bought a national treasure in Paris and donated it to the country free of charge.

This matter also had a significant impact in the port city.

After confirming his identity, the manager called the boss, Zheng Zhigang.

"Boss, Mr. He is at the Victoria Harbour Club today."

"What brings him here today?" Zheng Zhigang asked with a smile, knowing that the manager was referring to He Long.

The two had a good personal relationship and often traveled to the mainland together for meetings. They were also often seen together at various high-end events in Hong Kong and Macau, where this group of descendants of Hong Kong businessmen would gather.

They support each other when they need something.

It's somewhat similar to the relationship between the second-generation entrepreneurs of Jiangbei City and Jiangnan City.

Zheng Zhigang had never seen Young Master He visit his club before.

What's the wind blowing today?

"Boss He also brought a guest, a wealthy businessman from the mainland named Jiang Beicheng," the manager reported truthfully.

"Who?"

Zheng Zhigang paused for a moment, then asked the manager to confirm, "Which Mr. Jiang is it who donated the national treasure?"

"Yes, Mr. Zheng, they are having tea at the club now."

"OK, I'm in Guangzhou. I just finished a meeting and I'll be right back," Zheng Zhigang said excitedly.

He really wanted to meet Jiang Beicheng.

Unlike the He family, he had no intention of having any financial dealings with them. He only admired Jiangbei City because of the sensational "antique auction incident" in Paris that shocked the Chinese community.

That courage and boldness are a role model for young people.

They immediately took a helicopter back to the port city. The club manager understood the boss's meaning; the boss wanted to come back specifically to meet with President Jiang.

Fearing that President Jiang would leave after sitting for a while, he took the initiative to go up and greet him.

Follow the eggplant server up to serve the two wealthy men.

He personally cut the cigars for Jiang Beicheng, saying, "Mr. Jiang, hello, these are the owner's treasured cigars."

The boss just finished a meeting in Guangzhou and is now on his way to the port city.

Please enjoy your meal, and feel free to call me if you need anything.

Jiang Beicheng took the cigar and glanced at it. It was a Monte Carlo 150th Anniversary Edition. President Zheng's hospitality was so generous that it was almost overflowing.

This cigar is not just a collector's item; it has been auctioned.

At its peak, a single box sold for 1.9 million, which works out to 30,000 to 40,000 per piece.

One bite costs three or four thousand.

Jiang Beicheng joked with He Long, "It seems we won't be able to leave anytime soon."

He Long understood Jiang Beicheng's meaning; Zheng Zhigang wanted to come and meet with them.

With such sincerity, it would be impolite not to wait for him.

"General Manager Jiang~"

He Xiaomei lit the Dupont lighter on the seat and offered to light a cigar for Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng joked, "President He, I can't accept that."

Having frequented numerous high-end private clubs both domestically and internationally, Jiang Beicheng had seen and flirted with many top-tier waitresses.

This is the first time that a wealthy heiress like He Xiaomei has served him an eggplant server.

"President Jiang, your politeness means you don't consider me a friend."

He Xiaomei was very generous and took the initiative to help Jiang Beicheng test the suction resistance to see if the eggplant core was unobstructed, since it had been around for a few years.

Jiang Beicheng joked, "I'm just afraid your husband will misunderstand."

He Xiaomei, with her high EQ, replied, "Sir's career is inseparable from President Jiang's support."

Serve the lit cigars upstairs.

Jiang Beichen smiled and accepted it: "We're both men, and I envy him for having such a considerate wife like you."

He praised both the husband and wife in one sentence.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." He Xiaomei smiled and sat down, asking the sommelier to pour her a glass of whiskey. She then sat down to chat with Jiang Beicheng and the others.

Later, Zheng Zhigang rushed to the K11 club.

With light steps, I entered the tea room.

Upon seeing Jiang Beicheng, he beamed with joy and excitedly grasped Jiang Beicheng's hand, saying, "President Jiang, a national hero, I have long admired you."

"I rushed as fast as I could and managed to make it."

They used the nickname netizens use for Jiangbei City, addressing Jiangbei City directly to each other.

That sounds a bit awkward.

But it was indeed a genuine expression of his feelings.

He Long laughed and said, "President Jiang will be staying in Hong Kong for a few days. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zheng Zhigang shrugged and said, "I don't know!"

And today is different. You've come to visit me, and it would be very impolite of me not to come and greet you.

Mr. Jiang is a young mainland entrepreneur whom I greatly admire.

Jiang Beicheng was embarrassed by Zheng Zhigang's praise.

His first impression of Young Master Zheng was that he was "endearingly simple-minded".

Kind of cute.

He has absolutely no airs of a CEO.

Perhaps that's just who he is in private.

“I have long admired Mr. Zheng, this great artist. Even if you don’t have time to return to Hong Kong today, I will make time to visit you,” Jiang Beicheng said with a smile.

Compared to titles like "President" or "Young Master," Zheng Zhigang really prefers to be called an "artist."

He did indeed consider himself an "artist".

Whether it's real estate, charity work, or even her everyday styling... she can't do without the word "art".

As for the level of artistic merit, that's a matter of opinion.

Most people find him abstract.

"Hahaha, Mr. Jiang, you flatter me. Please have a seat, Mr. Jiang. I'll have someone arrange dinner right away," Zheng Zhigang said warmly.
