Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Mellor knew Anna Wintour's bad temper; it was common knowledge in the industry.

If the problem stems from poor decision-making in the Chinese market, it's understandable that Wintour would criticize him.

But she never expected that this Mr. Jiang she was talking about would be so formidable.

Even figures like Zuckerberg and Cook have suffered losses at his hands.

What was even more unexpected was that the Newhouse family also chose to handle the issue from the perspective of respecting Mr. Jiang.

Anna Wintour most likely met with Steven Newhouse and, after receiving his tacit approval, came to the Vogue building to give him a piece of her mind.

Otherwise, Wintour should stay at Condé Nast, even if she's just sitting in her office drinking coffee, and wouldn't interfere with Vogue anymore. Otherwise, it would seem disrespectful to the Newhouse family.

After all, he was Steven Newhouse's handpicked editor-in-chief.

Mellor knew that he was able to get to this position largely because of his father's relationship with the Newhouse family.

Hollywood directors have extensive connections and high profiles in the American entertainment and fashion industries.

The unexpected death of their father is a source of regret for many families involved in media groups.

Newhouse, one of the most influential media moguls in the United States, also expressed his respect and condolences for her father.

Of course, she is not a complete novice in the fashion industry. She has worked with many Hollywood actresses and has a good reputation. Otherwise, she would not have had the opportunity to be valued by the Newhouse family.

He has a strong sense of ambition.

She even wants to surpass Anna Wintour and become the new global fashion icon.

It was this ambition that made her blindly confident and eager to achieve results to show the Newhouse family.

They first targeted the most difficult market, China.

I thought Liu Chong's 20th anniversary celebration would create a huge wave in Asia.

I never imagined that the rivalry between Vogue and the Chinese domestic publication Shangcheng would involve such a significant and complex relationship.

This Mr. Jiang actually managed to get Steven, the new head of the Newhouse family, to back down.

Faced with Wintour's scathing rebuke, Mellors dared not utter a sound.

They didn't even dare to get up to close the door.

The executives on that floor all knew she had been scolded.

There's absolutely no face to be saved.

“OK, my dear Ms. Anna, please calm down. If I have done anything wrong, let’s sit down and talk it over. I assure you, I will listen to your opinions carefully and patiently, OK?” Mellors reassured Wintour.

Wintour bluntly stated: "If Vogue loses its influence in the Chinese market, Mellon, please get out of here."

You are an incredibly stupid leader!

This isn't just my opinion.

After speaking, he left.

I don't want to waste my breath arguing with McLean.

A group of executives watched Anna Wintour leave with fear on their faces.

This fashion icon remains as ruthless as ever, intolerant of even the slightest imperfection.

"Ms. Anna hasn't been to the company for several months. I never expected her to come back in this way today."

“I could tell from her that Steven took this matter very seriously.”

"The boss of Oriental Media Company, which can attract the attention of the Newhouse family, must be very powerful."

"If Editor-in-Chief Mellor doesn't handle this matter well, the worst outcome could be that Steven and Mr. Jiang become enemies."

“No, the Newhouse family is the most low-profile wealthy family in the United States. They certainly don’t want to confront Mr. Jiang, a wealthy man from the East.”

“The Chinese market is very important to Vogue, and the reason for this is all due to the ambition of editor-in-chief Melody; she was too hasty.”

"..."

As the executives were discussing, Mellors walked to the door to close it, took a step to the side, glanced at everyone, and they immediately dispersed.

Melo knew he had lost face in front of the executives today.

But now she has to consider the reputation of the Newhow family.

Steven conveyed to her through Anna Wintour the message of respecting the Chinese market and Mr. Jiang, which meant giving her some dignity.

She immediately sent an email to Liu Chong.

Liu Chong was informed that Vogue China had cancelled its Spring/Summer issue campaign.

Liu Chong wasn't surprised to receive this news. Given the current state of the Chinese entertainment and fashion industry, let alone a 20th anniversary celebration, even Vogue didn't dare to publish its May or June print issue.

It's gotten to this point.

For now, all I can do is hide and wait until September or October to go to the major fashion weeks to find exposure and regain my fame.

However, what shocked Liu Chong was that the most important reason given by Mellor was that the Newhouse family did not support the celebration activities in the Chinese market.

This means that the Newhouse family is also giving face to Jiang Beicheng, the emperor of the Chinese entertainment industry.

They didn't want to break ties with Jiangbei City and sought healthy competition.

The influence of the "Emperor of Chinese Entertainment" continues to spread.

It has now spread to the Newhouse family, the actual controllers of North America's largest media group.

What appears on the surface to be politeness between two wealthy families is, at a deeper level, a reflection of the business wisdom between Eastern and Jewish tycoons.

Looking deeper, they represent two world-class wealth groups: wealthy Chinese individuals and Jewish financial groups.

The relationship between them is very subtle.

Liu Chong was still in a daze.

All I did was prepare to lead a fashion gala, and Liu Yifei was just representing the Jiang family's entertainment industry by posting a statement on Weibo. Has the matter already escalated to this level of seriousness?
My back feels slightly cold.

I've never fought a war like this before.

If one day, the two groups were to have a direct friction and conflict for some reason, these foreign investment representatives would certainly be the first to suffer.

Liu Chong then realized the true meaning behind his friend Liu Yifei's advice to resign.

In the power struggles of the big shots, a nobody like him is just an ant waiting to die.

I immediately wrote my resignation to the New York headquarters, no longer waiting for my mentor Wintour's reply.

……

In fact, Liu Yifei didn't think that much about it, nor did she feel that she had done much. She was just representing Jiang Beicheng to help his lunch break sweetheart, Wu Wen.

When Vogue announced the cancellation of the event on social media, the pregnant woman had no idea how much of a stir her Weibo post had caused.

Like Wu Wen and other celebrities in the entertainment industry who respect Jiangbei City, they had no idea that this matter had reached the point where it was being taken seriously by the Jewish wealthy family.

"Mr. Wu is here too. I'm sorry, I didn't know you would be visiting Qianqian today, so I didn't prepare a gift for you. But I promise you, I will make it up to you when I get back and send it to your home."

Yang Mi arrived at the manor in Jiangbei City to visit Liu Yifei.

I ran into Wu Wen at the manor.

She and Wu Wen are already acquaintances. Last year, she was the closing act for the fashion show that shocked Asia, and she also had a deep collaboration with the magazine "Shangcheng" on behalf of her endorsed brand Loewe.

Yang Mi values ​​her relationship with Wu Wen very much.

After all, she is recognized by the Chinese entertainment industry as the new fashion icon.

For artists, they are all investors, so it's important to maintain good relationships with them.

"You're too kind, Da Mimi." Wu Wen hugged her and said thank you, "Thank you for standing up for me."

She truly hadn't expected Yang Mi and Dilraba to follow in Liu Yifei's footsteps and directly announce their withdrawal from their rival's fashion event on social media. But now she had a pretty good idea of ​​their relationship with Mr. Jiang.

I don't think Mr. Jiang's frivolous activities in the Chinese entertainment industry are any less proof of his abilities.

Without real talent, one cannot command the attention of so many top actresses and leading ladies.

"Mr. Wu, you're too kind. I hope we can maintain this mutually beneficial and win-win cooperative relationship." Yang Mi concluded with a very insightful remark: "What is local is also international."

Having clearly understood the current situation and the attitude of those above.

We should follow the general direction.

“Who would refuse to work with such an outstanding female artist as Da Mi Mi?” Wu Wen said with a smile.

Yang Mi smiled and turned her gaze to Liu Yifei.

The two exchanged a glance, probably for only a few seconds.

The meaning conveyed in those few seconds is very profound.

Awkwardness, envy, resentment, inner conflict...

Various emotions.

But after regaining his senses, Yang Mi immediately showed a friendly smile and showed concern for Liu Yifei with great goodwill.

Liu Yifei saw through it but didn't say anything.

If she hadn't publicly announced the acquisition of Yizhi Culture Media, Yang Mi would probably still be making money under the name of Jiangbei City, not to mention coming to see her, and wouldn't have taken her seriously at all.

In the eyes of many netizens and fans, the two are now irreconcilable enemies.

But today I sat on a sofa.

Yang Mi took the initiative to bow his head and show his goodwill towards her.

This feeling is very comfortable. Liu Yifei has been in the Chinese entertainment industry for so many years, but she has never experienced this feeling before.

She also knew that this status and influence were given to her by the Jiang family.

She would naturally not overuse her position in Jiangbei City to seek meaningless pleasure.

She still showed a relatively friendly side when facing Yang Mi.

After talking about the baby in her belly, the three returned to the event.

"Sissi, did President Wu and President Jiang step in to help? Vogue reacted too quickly; they surrendered in less than a day," Yang Mi asked curiously.

Wu Wen and Liu Yifei both shook their heads.

This indicates that Jiang Beicheng was not informed of this matter at all.

The three were once again amazed by the influence of the "Emperor of the Chinese Entertainment Industry."

"This is a bit scary. President Jiang didn't show up, and the Zheng family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong, as well as Emperor Entertainment, a representative of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, are all eager to avoid suspicion. I heard that the venue for Vogue's 20th anniversary event has been cancelled." Yang Mi shook his head and exclaimed in surprise.

Wu Wen said, "Fortunately, President Jiang didn't find out, otherwise the impact of this matter would be even greater."

"What are you talking about so enthusiastically?"

As the three were discussing, Jiang Beichen returned from handling business at the company. He walked into the living room and was surprised to see the three women. He asked them curiously.

"Young Master Jiang!"

Yang Mi hurriedly got up, stepped forward to greet him, and embraced Jiang Beicheng closely.

"So you've come here because you heard about it? Paying a visit to the Queen of the Chinese entertainment industry?" Jiang Beichen joked.

Liu Yifei smiled at Jiang Beicheng.

"The Empress has to pay her respects, and so does the Emperor," Yang Mi flattered.

He sat down on the sofa in Jiangbei City.

Wu Wen asked curiously, "President Jiang really doesn't know anything about the fashion industry?"

"What's going on in the fashion world?" Jiang Beicheng asked the three of them, puzzled. "I've been busy with two car companies preparing for their IPOs in Hong Kong these past few days, so I haven't been paying much attention to your entertainment industry."

Wu Wen nodded, once again feeling fortunate that President Jiang hadn't intervened.

"Young Master Jiang's influence is terrifying..."

Yang Mi was about to flatter him when Shen Jun came over with a tablet and reported, "President Jiang, here's an email from the United States."

Jiang Beicheng took the tablet and opened the email.

Upon seeing Anna Wintour's email, I smiled and said, "I was just chatting with you guys about the fashion world when the world's fashion icon sent me an email."

“Anna Wintour?” Wu Wen asked in surprise, “Has this already reached New York? So fast.”

I thought it was just Liu Chong who decided to cancel the event.

Yang Mi nodded and added, "Now it seems that this might be the idea of ​​the New York headquarters."

After Jiang Beicheng finished reading, he handed the tablet to Shen Jun. "Secretary Shen, please reply to the email for me, to express my concern for Ms. Wintour and my greetings to the Newhouse family."

"Yes, Mr. Jiang." Aunt Shen immediately went to do it.

"The Newhouse family?" Liu Yifei looked at Jiang Beicheng in confusion. "What does Steven Newhouse mean?"

She followed Jiang Beicheng's words and made guesses.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded.

Sisi had seen it before!
Wu Wen and Yang Mi looked at Liu Yifei, not understanding what she meant.

"Sisi, what family did you mention...?" Yang Mi asked curiously.

Liu Yifei said, "Actually, I was also very surprised. I just posted on Weibo that I was unable to attend the 20th anniversary celebration of Vogue. I didn't expect that this matter would escalate to this point, and that the new head of the Newhouse family would personally speak with Beibei."

Wu Wen also looked puzzled.

I don't know about the Newhouse family she mentioned.

But it sounds impressive.

Jiang Beicheng chimed in, "Do you even know about Condé Nast, the parent company of Vogue?"

Yang Mi and Wu Wen nodded.

Liu Yifei grew up in the United States and spent a long time in the entertainment industry there, so it's normal for her to have some understanding of the media industry there.

However, the vision of artists in the Chinese entertainment industry is rather narrow.

We are quite familiar with wealthy families like the LV family, which are frequently active in the Chinese entertainment industry, but we know little about some low-profile wealthy families who rarely appear in public.

"The Newhouse family is the actual controller of Condé Nast. However, this family has always been very low-key and rarely appears in public. The outside world knows very little about them, but they control the most influential media and cable television companies in the United States."

They also control many well-known social media platforms.

Jiang Beicheng said, "Anna Wintour sent me an email apologizing for what happened at Vogue's 20th anniversary."

I also conveyed the respect and greetings of Steven Newhouse, the current head of the family.

Wu Wen and Yang Mi stared wide-eyed at Jiangbei City.

The most powerful media family in the United States apologized to Jiang Beicheng for the reckless actions of Vogue China.

While the two were deeply shocked, only Liu Yifei showed a hint of worry on her face, saying, "Actually, this isn't a good thing."

Wu Wen and Yang Mi snapped out of their daze and looked at Liu Yifei again.

Liu Yifei truthfully stated: "As far as I know, although the Newhouse family are German-Americans who are Catholic, the founder of the Newhouse family, Samuel Newhouse, was the son of a Jew."

Rumors circulate that the Newhouse family's first fortune came from a Jewish financial group.

This time, Bebe has truly become involved with the Jewish financial group. (End of Chapter)
