Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

A Pullman S680 executive sedan, costing nearly 20 million, went to the airport to pick up global fashion icon Anna Wintour.

Bernard and Delphine flew to Chengdu in their Agusta business helicopter, worth over 100 million yuan, to pick up Bernard and Delphine, who were visiting stores in Chengdu.

A private estate hosted a banquet for several international friends.

Jiangbei City can be said to have shown the highest level of courtesy.

This is his typical way of dealing with people: if you give me the utmost respect, I will treat you with the same courtesy.

However, this time he also had some political tasks to complete.

Transform Jiangnan City into a "fashion capital" comparable to Shanghai.

Jiangbei City is also a key target of the municipal party committee's attention.

We need to submit a satisfactory report to our superiors.

Looking across the entire Jiangnan City, apart from him, a highly influential capital player in the entertainment industry, no one else is capable of this task.

The title of "fashion capital" is not just a title or name; it represents an entire industry chain.

It is also a way for a city to present a bright international image to the world.

The group consists of two international companies, LVMH Group and VOGUE Media Group, plus two domestic companies, Shangcheng Fashion Media Group and Yizhi Culture Media Group.

With these four leading companies, the rise of the fashion industry in Jiangnan City can be driven.

On the surface, Jiangbei City is spending a fortune on this year-end extravaganza.

In-depth analysis reveals that, without exaggeration, this grand event was a major investment promotion event for Jiangnan City.

The investment projects and amounts attracted by this grand event are immeasurable.

In the past development history of Jiangnan City, no entertainment event with such influence has ever been held.

Therefore, the municipal party committee attached great importance to the matter, appointing the executive vice mayor as the head of the working group, and leaders from multiple departments, such as the publicity department and the culture and tourism commission, to hold key positions in the working group.

We will guide and support Shangcheng and Dior in organizing this unprecedented fashion extravaganza in China.

This is a major collaboration between Jiangbei City and the political circles.

Neither the previous conflict with the TV station nor Jiangbei City's public display of his "heavenly palace" lifestyle have caused much negative public opinion.

To a certain extent, his image and reputation also reflect the image and reputation of the Jiangnan City leadership team.

It definitely needs to be maintained.

In special circumstances, necessary measures will be taken.

The city government approved the use of his private estate as the main venue for the event.

Sometimes it is necessary to showcase the achievements of our decades of hard work to Western society.

Entrepreneurs are the most representative achievement of economic development.

Remove their filters.

Jiang Beicheng's personality perfectly matched the roles that the leaders desired.

When it's time to push upwards.

Not intimidated at all.

International and domestic public opinion doesn't matter; to him now, they're all irrelevant.

He was eager for international public opinion to grow stronger so as to increase his international influence.

He can now ignore all the domestic public opinion, whether it's biased remarks stemming from class differences or attempts by someone to incite trouble and deliberately damage his image.

He now has multiple means to control and eliminate negative online influences against him.

Money is useful, so use money.

If money doesn't work, then use power.

……

Today, we are hosting a banquet at our private estate to welcome international friends.

As Anna Wintour's Maybach S680 Pullman entered the estate, the business helicopter that was heading to Chengdu to pick her up slowly descended from the sky.

They arrived at almost the same time.

Jiang Beicheng greeted them at the entrance of the inner courtyard.

Delphine, who had just stepped out of the helicopter, couldn't help but stop and admire the luxurious mansion.

Take out your phone and take a picture.

As one of the organizers, she had seen photos and videos of the main venue beforehand.

The photos and videos highlight the grandeur of this private residence.

Today, being there in person, I once again experienced the refined elegance of this private residence.

Waterside pavilions, winding corridors, rockeries and water features, studies and tea rooms...

One can't help but admire Mr. Jiang's refined taste. His sudden actions have made even his luxurious Parisian mansion seem insignificant.

It's all just glitz and glamour, all show and no substance.

This luxury goods tycoon, in his fifties or sixties, has traveled to countless cities around the world and learned about many cultures... all his advantages are just for his professional image and his social image.

No one has Mr. Jiang's leisurely and refined taste, his understanding of life.

They live such a carefree and free life.

This is still in a large Eastern country where the culture of wealth is relatively conservative.

Mr. Jiang has repeatedly defied their perception of wealthy people in the East.

After reviewing the setup, Anna Wintour repeatedly confirmed with Liu Chong, "Is this Mr. Jiang's residence? Is this the main venue for this fashion event?"

Liu Chong nodded affirmatively.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Why didn't I know about this Mr. Jiang in the Asian fashion circle before?"

She used the word "Asia".

It elevates Jiangbei City to an international level.

It's been ten years since I last visited Asia, but Asian fashion has certainly made progress.

Instead, a young "godfather" emerged.

“Mr. Jiang, thank you for your kind invitation. It’s a great honor to attend your fashion event.” Anna Wintour took off her sunglasses, smiled, and hugged Jiang Beicheng.

This was the highest level of courtesy she could offer.

She always wore sunglasses when attending fashion shows with the Queen of England.

Even when sharing the stage with some important Western politicians, she still wore sunglasses.

When I saw Jiang Beicheng today, he took off his sunglasses.

Respect the customs of this land and Mr. Jiang's hospitality.

“Ms. Anna, you have led international fashion for decades. As a fellow professional, I salute you,” Jiang Beicheng said politely.

Anna Wintour was very impressed with Mr. Jiang at their first meeting.

The third son of the LV family was about the same age as him, but in her eyes, the third son was not as good as Mr. Jiang.

Even without the LV family's prestige, the third son pales in comparison to Mr. Jiang.

"Mr. Jiang, long time no see."

"Mr. Jiang, words cannot express how excited I am to see you again."

Bernard and Princess Delphine, two acquaintances, greeted Jiang Beicheng politely.

Jiangbei City warmly invited the international friends to sit down in the inner courtyard.

The tea master has already prepared the tea.

The musicians bowed gracefully to welcome the distinguished guests.

Today's private dance troupes no longer perform those eye-catching traditional Chinese dances.

Instead, it showcases the most distinctive ethnic dances of Jiangnan City.

To showcase the city's intangible cultural heritage to foreign friends and promote the city's cultural heritage.

It's no exaggeration to say that the private dance troupes in Jiangbei City are far more skilled than the city's ethnic dance troupes and cultural groups.

“Mr. Jiang’s pot of tea has brought us so many surprises,” Anna Wintour said.

She saw many fashionable elements in these intangible cultural heritage and ethnic dances.

These elements are capable of being performed on a major stage, even an international stage.

“Perhaps the next fashion era will be led by your country’s culture,” Anna Wintour remarked after enjoying the cultural performance at the private residence.

“No! Ms. Anna…”

Jiang Beicheng's "No" stunned Anna Wintour, leaving her momentarily speechless.

Did I express myself incorrectly?

Thinking back, it seems not.

He gave Chinese culture extremely high praise and affirmation.

What's needed now is a capital player, or you could say, a helmsman of China's fashion behemoth, to bring these cultural elements to the international stage through commercial means.

When she didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Beicheng's "No", Jiang Beicheng smiled, picked up his teacup, and toasted her, saying, "It's not about the future, but about always leading the way."

We have been leading the way in culture and fashion for thousands of years.
