Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

When Dior's creative director Jonathan Anderson left China, he still didn't understand how he had been fired by his boss, Delphine.

He's an international fashion icon, the object of desire for countless luxury brands, yet Dior so decisively abandoned him.

Anderson felt somewhat frustrated.

For highly skilled workers, it's crucial to follow the right mentor.

Deep down, he would rather be a dog for the Bernard family than a professional manager for another brand.

Because of this industry, the Bernard family is the most influential family in the world.

Now he doesn't even have the chance to prove his loyalty like a dog.

I really can't figure out what I did wrong.

Because he had selfish motives and wanted to plagiarize Mr. Jiang's idea?

He didn't express it explicitly.

Are they bullying Wu Wen, a fashion newcomer?

Not to mention, Wu Wen's status and position in the Bernard family were negligible. If Mr. Jiang hadn't introduced her, they would never have met such a low-end fashionista.

So what was the real reason that Delphina kicked him away?
Jiang Beicheng hadn't expected Delphine to act so decisively.

But it also proves the wisdom of the eldest princess.

In business, there are some things you can't touch.

Once labeled as cultural discrimination, Delphine would not be able to bear the negative consequences.

There are quite a few brands that have been driven out of the Chinese market.

Delphine places great importance on the Greater China market.

They see the Greater China market as their hope for securing a successor.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have vigorously promoted a localization strategy and integrated into Eastern culture.

If Anderson's comments go astray, Dior's losses could be immeasurable.

So she didn't bother to verify whether Anderson was suspected of cultural discrimination; she simply fired Anderson when Mr. Jiang raised related questions.

He also had a video call with Jiang Beicheng and sincerely apologized to him.

Bernard, her father who was standing beside her, also understood the importance of this matter.

To show his sincerity, he will also visit stores in China before the event and attend Shangcheng's year-end fashion gala.

That's very kind of you.

He is also a very clever businessman.

The fact that the eldest princess came to China to participate in a fashion event has already shocked the Chinese entertainment and fashion circles.

Bernard, the current head of the world's largest luxury goods group and a multiple-time world's richest man, will also be present at the event.

For the Chinese entertainment and fashion industry, the level of shock is absolutely earthquake-level.

Jiangbei City expressed its welcome.

The fact that this luxury goods tycoon is willing to come to China to exchange fashion culture highlights the influence of Eastern culture.

This also most directly reflects the strength of Jiangbei City.

He also has influence in international circles.

If his exposure of the unspoken rules of television stations ultimately led to his victory and allowed him to establish himself in the Chinese entertainment industry, then this is a valid point.

So, the Bernard family's visit to China this time is to make him the king of the Chinese entertainment and fashion circles.

The title of "rising star in the entertainment industry" can be removed.

They have gradually become the rule-makers in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Beicheng informed Wu Wen that Bernard would be attending the year-end gala in person.

Wu Wen is currently discussing the preparations for this event with Pharrell Williams.

Anderson has been ousted, and Pharrell Williams has taken over Anderson's role to help Shangcheng organize this fashion extravaganza.

He is the global fashion director of Louis Vuitton, and theoretically should not be involved in Dior's event planning.

But they're all from the same company.

Moreover, his appearance wasn't to steal the limelight; rather, it was to conceal the Bernard family's influence and bestow the honor of this event upon *Shangcheng* magazine. More precisely, it was to bestow it upon Mr. Jiang.

We can't let him use his title as LV's global fashion director to do this.

It's inappropriate both emotionally and logically.

His current role is a behind-the-scenes supporting role.

Pharrell Williams has organized many LV fashion shows in Greater China, each of which has garnered a great deal of attention.

rave reviews.

He understands Eastern culture better than Anderson.

In fact, after dinner that day, he guessed that Anderson might be punished by the company's senior management.

On a personal level, he was simply arrogant and looked down on others.

However, from a social, cultural, and national perspective, his words can easily lead to ambiguity.

Pharrell once again felt the Bernard family's respect for Mr. Jiang.

To be honest, he had never seen anyone in the West who was so respected by the Bernard family.

Perhaps there are indeed some national-level and ideological factors involved.

But it has to be said that it's chilling that Mr. Jiang, at the age of thirty, has managed to reach such a high position.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as terrifying.

When Wu Wen learned that Bernard was going to be there in person, her mind went completely blank.

I wouldn't even dare to fantasize like that.

She, an entrepreneur of a startup, was able to organize an internationally influential event in less than a year.

Moreover, they invited the heads of global luxury goods giants.

I never dared to brag like this before.

But it has indeed happened.

The title of "Fashion Devil of the Chinese Entertainment Industry" will probably be bestowed upon her soon.

Even Mr. Pharrell, who was communicating with her, was equally shocked upon hearing the news. He shook his head, looking incredulous, and said, "Ms. Wu, your investor, Mr. Jiang, is simply a god-like figure."

“Yes, Pharrell, in my heart, he is a god.” Wu Wen replied with immense pride and a smile.

Although this emotional expression is awkward and even corny, it is the only sentence that can express her admiration for Jiangbei City.

……

After finishing things with his lunch break lover, Jiang Beicheng went to the industrial park and was invited to visit the central kitchen built by his best friend Liu Shuyun.

The Sanmei'er Barbecue Restaurant brand quickly gained fame and became a phenomenal internet celebrity brand thanks to the endorsement of a folk music star and the folk song that went viral on short videos.

With financial support from Jiangbei City, Liu Shuyun began to move forward by leaps and bounds, engaging in brand operation, operating both directly-owned and franchised businesses in parallel, and building a supply chain...

They've adopted that asset-light restaurant model.

Currently, there are already 30 stores open, basically covering every district and county in Jiangnan City.

The central kitchen currently under construction follows a model of standardized production, large-scale processing, cost reduction, and speed improvement.

"Jiangjiang, this area is nearly 7,000 square meters. I plan to put 2,000 square meters into production and operation first, to ensure a daily production capacity of 50,000 sets."

After I launch the "Ten Cities, One Hundred Stores" plan next year, I will put all of these stores into production, ensuring a daily output of 100,000 sets.

Although the initial investment is large, the economic benefits of a central kitchen are long-term and readily apparent…

As Liu Shuyun made the plans, she explained her ideas to Jiang Beicheng.

Finally, smiling, she leaned close to Jiang Beicheng and asked, "Jiang Jiang, can you still help me out a little?"

Jiang Beicheng liked women who were so straightforward and shameless in asking him for money.

"Call Secretary Shen," Jiang Beichen said directly.

"I love you, Jiang Jiang." Liu Sanmei kissed Jiang Beicheng excitedly. "Thank you for the expense."

Jiang Beicheng knew the purpose of her invitation to come and see the project today, and shook his head and laughed, "It's all just small-scale stuff."
