Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 465 There is a hierarchy of contempt within certain circles.
After Jiang Beicheng and Liu Qiangdong finished cultivating their public personas in front of the media, they went to Liu Qiangdong's office for tea.

We then talked about hotel and travel projects.

Unlike the food delivery market, the hotel and travel industry doesn't burn through cash like JD.com, which has sufficient cash reserves to build its supply chain.

As for whether a major battle will break out in the OTA market and trigger a money-burning mode, that's not something Liu Qiangdong is considering for the time being.

However, Jiang Beicheng stated to the media that he was willing to invest in JD.com's hotel and travel business, and Liu Qiangdong confirmed that he would have to give Jiang Beicheng a share of the investment as a gesture of goodwill.

After finishing their work discussion, Jiang Beicheng said, "I almost forgot about the important matter. The Beicheng Hotel Guozijian branch is opening. Come and visit sometime."

Liu Qiangdong took the invitation and glanced at it. "I think I have a video conference today. Let me confirm with my secretary."

If all else fails, I'll have Xu Ran attend the meeting for me. She'll definitely be there to support your brother in Beicheng that day.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded.

Liu Qiangdong asked curiously, "Did you invite Wang Xing?"

Just now, in front of the reporters, he heard Jiang Beicheng say that he really wanted to treat Wang Xing to a meal.

The opening of the Beicheng Hotel is definitely the most opportune time.

Jiang Beicheng replied truthfully, "The invitation has been sent, but it's hard to say whether President Wang will give me the honor."

Before investing in JD.com's food delivery service, Jiang Beicheng could sense that Wang Xing looked down on him and didn't take him seriously.

He's just a restaurant owner.

It is incomparable to Meituan's business empire.

This is quite different from Wang Xing's net worth and status.

Even with Lian Capital, it's managed by professional managers and hasn't produced any decent results.

At that time, Jiangbei City was not considered part of their circle.

The two of them were just playing a game of chance.

Wang Xing didn't want to waste his energy on him, and even thought he was just a clown who would randomly bite people for no reason.

Just give it a tap.

I never expected Jiangbei City to develop so quickly and smoothly.

Wang Xing vividly remembers the incident that caused Meituan to lose its spokesperson.

Jiangbei City is no longer what it used to be.

His reputation has basically spread among domestic business circles.

Even if you don't know much about him, you've probably heard of him.

She's highly capable and also very good at cultivating a persona.

Wang Xing dislikes businessmen who like to cultivate a persona, including his old friend Liu Qiangdong.

Liu Qiangdong said, "I haven't seen him in a long time either. I'll call him again when I have some free time, and invite a few old friends to come and support you."

Jiang Beicheng smiled, picked up his teacup, and toasted Liu Qiangdong.

After having tea for a while, it was time for dinner, so we moved to the restaurant.

I didn't drink alcohol, just ate a little something.

Liu Qiangdong had a video conference that evening, so Jiang Beicheng didn't disturb him.

They returned to Liu Yifei's villa.

Sisi is gone, and now he lives in this villa.

Originally, they planned to buy a house in Beijing, but Liu Yifei felt it was unnecessary. Given their current relationship, they didn't distinguish between each other materially. She directly had Jiang Beicheng record her face and gave the villa's housekeeper a lot of instructions.

He is now the master of this place.

Jiangbei City has no shortage of luxury homes. The 200 million yuan compensation he gave Liu Yifei could buy three villas like this. He just occasionally enjoys the feeling of being a kept man.

It's just like lying in the arms of his first wife, Haitangxi, and enjoying the taste of a relationship between an older woman and a younger man.

Men's thoughts can sometimes be quite perverse, and the comfort they seek can be very strange.

This has little to do with your status or wealth; it's just about enjoying the fun and variety.

He lives comfortably and peacefully in Liu Yifei's mansion.

During the video call, he even comforted her, saying it was because he was afraid of forgetting her scent.

Liu Yifei used to be unable to stand these cheesy sweet words and thought you were hypocritical.

Now Jiang Beicheng has made her act like an ignorant little girl.

Of course, it was the baby in her belly that built a bridge of affection between them, making Jiang Beicheng's ghost stories more and more captivating and enjoyable to listen to.

……

On the opening day of the Beicheng Hotel, Jiang Beicheng hosted a banquet for his friends in Beijing. These were mostly friends who held significant importance in his heart.

As for the celebrities in the entertainment industry, consider it just a lucky draw, and take advantage of their fame to promote myself and make some money from them for cigars and coffee.

On that day, he would definitely spend time with the retired cadres and current leaders in the inner courtyard first, and then he would receive the second and third generations of the family and friends from the Beijing business community.

If you still have the energy, go and socialize with your friends in the community.

Finally, he just needs to make an appearance at the Foreign Languages ​​Institute so that the celebrities can meet him.

If he can't hold on until then, Aunt Shen can go and entertain the people at the foreign language department on his behalf.

There is a special passage in the inner courtyard, where Jiangbei City receives distinguished guests.

Shen Jun and Xu Ru, general manager of Baicheng Catering Investment Co., Ltd., greeted guests in the outer courtyard.

The executive chef is responsible for overall coordination.

Yang Mi came to celebrate today, dressed very elegantly.

We need to keep President Jiang interested in her.

Tonight, I'll have a few drinks with President Jiang, and, emboldened by the alcohol, ask him to give me a spa treatment so I can relive the feeling of having a deep conversation with him.

She actually enjoyed it very much.

Besides the exchange of benefits, she also has personal needs in this regard.

With President Jiang's abilities in this area, there should be no woman who cannot be conquered.

Xu Ru invited Yang Mi into the courtyard, where they went to a private room in the outer courtyard.

Upon opening the door and seeing a group of film industry veterans, Yang Mi was initially shocked for a moment before greeting them.

In the Chinese entertainment industry, the film industry does indeed hold a much higher status.

People involved in filmmaking, whether they are producers, directors, or famous actors, enjoy high public and national recognition.

Yang Mi tried several times to break into the film industry, but without success.

Despite being a native of Beijing, she wasn't well-regarded by the film industry in Beijing.

There is a hierarchy of contempt within any social circle.

In the realm of film and entertainment, the film industry sits at the top of the hierarchy of contempt.

Of course, if we consider the broader category of arts and culture, the film industry wouldn't dare to mess with traditional performing arts, drama, writers, and other similar circles.

Yang Mi behaved very politely, greeting seniors such as Chen Daoming, Wu Jing, Huang Bo, and Guo Fan.

After greeting everyone, she glanced around and realized that she was the only post-85s actress among the TV drama industry who had been invited by Jiang Beicheng.

I'm a little excited.

It seems that President Jiang still cares about her quite a bit.

This opportunity to interact with veterans in the film industry is also very rare.

She felt fortunate.

"President Zhang, President Cao, please come in!" Shen Jun quickly stepped forward to greet Cao Guowei and Zhang Chaoyang as they got out of the van.

They were originally assigned to the third courtyard inside, where all the business associates were.

However, when Cao Guowei went inside, he ran into Huang Bo.

Huang Bo politely addressed him as "President Cao".

The two shook hands.

"Are they all here?" Cao Guowei asked Huang Bo.

Huang Bo nodded, "Our friends in the entertainment industry are all here, Mr. Cao, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

Cao Guowei turned to Zhang Chaoyang and said, "Old Zhang, I'll go say hello."

He followed Huang Bo directly to the private room.

As soon as he entered the private room, the artists stood up to warmly welcome him.

He has considerable influence and prestige in this circle.

"Is President Jiang not here?" Cao Guowei asked.

Chen Daoming said, "I guess he's busy right now, but he should be here in a bit."

Wu Jing: "Mr. Cao, please sit down and let's talk."

Cao Guowei sat down with a smile.

He was prepared to wait here for Jiang Beicheng to arrive, so that Jiang Beicheng could see his status in the entertainment industry.
