Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 471 Still the same carefree and dashing CEO Jiang!
For Jiangbei City, even 500,000 yuan worth of mother tree Longjing tea is just a staple tea if there are channels to purchase it.

Like Ding Lei, his spending level is within the normal range.

Zheng Jiamin carefully tasted the tea. She had never drunk such expensive tea before and had no deep knowledge about tea. She did not dare to show off her limited knowledge in front of the two wealthy men and listened attentively to the two bosses talking about tea.

Consider it an opportunity to broaden your knowledge.

After finishing the tea worth over 500,000 yuan, Ding Lei invited him to the kitchen to admire the pigs worth 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

"The fish were slaughtered this morning and delivered here via air freight cold chain." Ding Lei introduced the ingredients for tonight's dinner: "Bluefin tuna caught in the Hokkaido fishing grounds of Japan, black abalone caught by Australian fishermen, red wine produced in the Bordeaux region... all were air-freighted to Beijing on the same day."

It will be presented to President Jiang for his evaluation in a moment.

Mr. Jiang, you must give me some face and let me savor the taste of the black pigs I raise.

Although things haven't been going smoothly in the pig farming business, I have great confidence in the pigs I raise.

Ding Lei explained that the ingredients for tonight's dinner were all fresh produce from around the world, and the price of such a meal would be self-evident if it were served in a top luxury hotel.

Jiang Beicheng understood what he meant.

It's not about showcasing his affluent lifestyle and the scale of his banquets, but rather about demonstrating the strength of NetEase's current e-commerce supply chain.

These items all have NetEase Yanxuan labels on them.

NetEase has been in the e-commerce arena for nearly ten years and its development has been quite good, with the business segment's revenue now accounting for 20% of the group's total revenue.

Jiang Beicheng chimed in, "Does President Ding feel that he has chosen the wrong path?"
If you had planned your e-commerce strategy in advance, Liu Qiangdong and his ilk wouldn't have had a chance.

Ding Lei smiled happily.

I know Jiangbei City was joking, but I still felt satisfied.

We're all friends, so no one will get angry if we joke around.

At a dinner in Wuzhen, he and Liu Qiangdong competed in e-commerce supply chain analysis in front of many peers from major internet companies.

Liu Qiangdong said he would provide drinks at the next dinner party, and Ding Lei said he would provide the ingredients...

On the surface, it appears to be a group effort to organize a meeting.

The deeper meaning is that they are showing off their respective global supply chains.

Everyone knows that JD.com's supply chain is amazing, so he wants to compare himself to Liu Qiangdong.

"As long as Mr. Jiang doesn't enter the e-commerce arena, I'm still confident in maintaining our market share."

Ding Lei also replied to Jiang Beicheng with a smile.

It has a bit of a mutual flattery feel to it.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "If you're interested, I'll let you and Liu Qiangdong know in advance so you can be mentally prepared."

Jiang Beicheng was indeed somewhat interested in the pigs he raised, and dared to say in public that he had changed the landscape of pig farming in China.

You can't just make empty boasts without something to back it up.

Ding Lei's pigs are known as the "Hermes" of the pig industry.

Some pigs supplied to high-end channels live in guesthouses and are monitored using AI, representing digitalized farming practices.

They actually sold a pig for two or three hundred thousand yuan.

"Have you ever raised pigs?" Jiang Beicheng asked Zheng Jiamin.

Zheng Jiamin nodded.

She was an ordinary, even somewhat impoverished, rural girl. For her, raising pigs was just a daily chore during her school years.

Jiang Beicheng joked, "How much can the pigs you raise in your village sell for?"

Zheng Jiamin truthfully replied, "It depends on the weight. A normal weight would fetch several thousand yuan."

Jiang Beicheng pointed to the ingredients in the kitchen, "The pigs raised by Boss Ding can sell for 300,000 yuan."

You're in for a treat today.

Zheng Jiamin was dumbfounded.

This is a completely normal physiological reaction.

If you mention luxury goods worth hundreds of thousands, fine wines... she wouldn't be surprised.

But selling a pig for hundreds of thousands of yuan is a bit out of line.

She simply couldn't understand it.

Ding Lei smiled at Zheng Jiamin and said, "After you finish this meal and experience the quality of NetEase Yanxuan, we can talk about the endorsement."

Zheng Jiamin was stunned again.

Is Mr. Ding delivering a business contract to her?

Drinking tea worth 500,000 yuan, eating pork worth 300,000 yuan, and tasting wine worth over 100,000 yuan...

Not only do you get to enjoy a life of luxury for free, but you also earn an endorsement fee.

Being with the old man makes me feel like all the good things in the world are happening to me.

Ding Lei was simply giving Jiang Beicheng face and making friends.

This endorsement can be given to any influential celebrity. Since Zheng Jiamin came with Jiang Beicheng today, this is a small gift for the young lady.

She has indeed become very popular recently and has high commercial value.

They did both personal favors and business deals.

"Thank you, Mr. Ding," Zheng Jiamin said again, turning back to smile at Jiang Beicheng.

I feel very happy.

It wasn't because she earned an endorsement deal, but rather because all her luck came from the old man.

After visiting Ding Lei's private kitchen, move to the music room to relax.

Let's go to a private karaoke session.

"Holy crap, Mr. Jiang, are you really that awesome?"

Ding Lei went straight for the national treasure.

True to one's nature.

My musical dream was shattered today by a professional singer and an entrepreneur friend.

I never expected Jiang Beicheng to have such high attainments in music.

For someone with his KTV skills, Jiangbei City's performance was indeed very professional.

Jiang Beicheng joked, "President Ding, I once had a dream of becoming a musician too."

Ding Lei laughed, knowing that Jiang Beicheng was teasing him.

However, this kind of playful banter is perfect for the atmosphere of karaoke.

Let's meet up for meals and karaoke often from now on!

After the private chef came down to announce the meal, Ding Lei put his arm around Jiang Beicheng's shoulder, expressing his appreciation and liking for this new friend.

“If Mr. Ding is in the mood, we can meet anytime. Beijing, Hangzhou, Jiangnan City… any of those are fine,” Jiang Beicheng said. “And please invite Zhang Chaoyang along as well.”

"Hahaha, Lao Zhang is my best drinking buddy. Have you ever heard him sing? He's the kind of person who's half-dead and half-alive."

You said that holding hands was a promise~
But darling, that's not love~

Jiang Beicheng imitated Zhang Chaoyang's mannerisms and hummed a couple of lines.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly the feeling. President Jiang's imitation is too perfect." Ding Lei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This performance by Lao Zhang is still circulating online.

He's the kind of person who never spoils any dinner party.

Regardless of whether you're capable or not, you have to go up and create an atmosphere.

If he runs out of topics, he can give you a physics deduction or discuss immortality with you.

Jiang Beicheng agreed with Ding Lei's words; Zhang Chaoyang was indeed a good drinking buddy for entrepreneurs.

He doesn't steal the spotlight, he can keep up with conversations, he can create a lively atmosphere, and he can even drink.

Following the topic, the two talked about mutual friends, and once they sat down at the dinner table, they felt their relationship had grown much closer.

After spending a meal together, Ding Lei really liked Jiang Beicheng's personality.

No wonder his friends in the business world speak so highly of him.

This young man is very interesting.

Jiang Beicheng and Zheng Jiamin didn't leave Ding Lei's manor until almost nine o'clock; they had spent the entire afternoon there.

Ding Lei saw him off and said goodbye to Jiang Beicheng.

On the way back, Zheng Jiamin looked at Jiangbei City on her phone, and hesitated for a moment.

She was a woman with few thoughts, and Jiang Beicheng could easily see through her and know that she had something to say.

"You're starting to get timid in front of me?" Jiang Beichen chuckled and patted her thigh.

Zheng Jiamin said, "Lao Lang and the others are having a gathering at a bar in Houhai. I need to go there."

you……"

Jiang Beicheng: "Let's drink together, we're all friends. Mr. Ding's alcohol tolerance is a bit low, I'm only about 30-40% of my usual capacity."

Zheng Jiamin smiled.

What she was actually worried about was that now that the old man was standing so high, he might no longer be able to integrate into their music circle.

She was overthinking it.

President Jiang is still the same President Jiang.

That carefree and unrestrained President Jiang.

They can drink tea and wine worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and they can also drink Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) worth tens of yuan with them.
