Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

The recognized spiritual leader of the Chaoshan business community is actually Li Jiacheng, but Jiangbei City has only a so-so relationship with him and they rarely interact.

Their social status dictated that they wouldn't get too close to each other, and their interactions would be limited to business collaborations.

Li Jiacheng is a businessman who has taken things to the extreme. In addition to his identity as a businessman, Jiang Beicheng also has the title of "Elite of the Dongda Era," which carries even greater responsibilities.

In addition, Li Jiacheng's reputation in mainland China is not so good now, so he was not invited to the founding meeting of the International Ports Chamber of Commerce. Instead, another Teochew businessman was chosen as the representative.

Ma Huateng, Honorary President of the Shenzhen Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.

Tencent Holdings and the Jiang family have a deep strategic partnership with many shared interests. In business matters, Hai Lin, Qian Li, and professional managers selected by Jiang Beicheng are basically in contact with Liu Zhiping, the second-in-command of Tencent Holdings, and the vice presidents of various businesses.

Jiang Beicheng and Ma Huateng only nod and make decisions on general directions or major projects.

The two had a very good personal relationship and often communicated.

However, the two sides met very rarely. The only time they met was when they were at a meeting in Beijing. But they didn't talk for long before they left by private jet after the meeting.

Ma Huateng took advantage of his free time to come and celebrate the establishment of the global headquarters of the Wharf Chamber of Commerce, mainly to have a good get-together with Jiangbei City.

Another distinguished guest, Chairman Liu of the Hongmen, was also personally invited by Jiang Beicheng.

During his trip to Southeast Asia, the Hongmen provided him with a lot of convenience.

Jiang Beicheng and Chairman Liu were both looking forward to the meeting, so they chose this time.

It just so happens that the dockside chamber of commerce and the Hung Society have many similarities, so the two can exchange and learn from each other's management experience.

In addition to the two social organizations, Chaozhou merchants and Hongmen, representatives from well-known domestic chambers of commerce, Zhejiang merchants, Jiangsu merchants, Fujian merchants, Shandong merchants, and other business groups also came.

The president usually comes in person.

Because many provincial and regional port chambers of commerce were also founded by these well-known wealthy businessmen.

Ultimately, it's about giving face to Jiangbei City.

The current president of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce is Mr. Nan from Chint Group. Jack Ma, as the founder, made great contributions to the development of Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, but he has stepped down and withdrawn from public view.

Mr. Nan's visit as a representative was actually at Jack Ma's behest.

After retiring, he rarely appeared in public anymore. However, considering Jiang Beicheng's feelings, he asked General Manager Nan to come and celebrate as a representative of Zhejiang businessmen. At the same time, he also called Jiang Beicheng to inform him of his inconvenience.

Jiang Beicheng expressed his understanding.

Finally, Jack Ma chose to participate in a video message as a member of the Entrepreneurs Club, joining other members to congratulate the establishment of the Port Chamber of Commerce Global Association.

That can be considered as being there to offer my congratulations.

The Entrepreneurs Club and the Huaxia Alumni Association are two relatively private communities that generally do not participate in similar activities.

But this time, they all came forward to offer their congratulations.

Because most people in both communities are friends or business partners from Jiangbei City.

It can also be said that Jiang Beicheng is now the core figure of these two top communities.

This "core" is not only a symbol of industrial and financial strength, but also the support of political power behind it.

Therefore, when President Jiang undertakes important matters, club members such as Jack Ma, Liu Yonghao, Guo Guangchang, Robin Li, Lei Jun, Liu Qiangdong, Zhang Lei, and Li Shufu will all contribute a token amount.

Even if you can't be there in person, you should still film a video.

……

That morning, Jiang Beicheng took some time to visit the dockside chamber of commerce.

Secretary Gao from the district also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Throughout this event, the government team led by Secretary Gao provided tremendous convenience and support.

Of course, the city also attaches great importance to it. It's just that the office of the dock chamber of commerce is located in the district, and Secretary Gao, as the main leader, is more dedicated to implementing various matters.

Jiang Beicheng expressed his gratitude.

At the Chamber of Commerce, Miao Zhi didn't reveal her sister-in-law's unrestrained side in front of Secretary Gao. Even when she was separated from Master Wei, she had already harassed Jiang Beicheng several times. Now that they were divorced, if they met in private, this sister-in-law would probably be practically naked in front of him.

She maintained a serious demeanor even in the office, displaying the air of a vice president of the Wharf Chamber of Commerce, and proactively reported on the work progress to Jiang Beicheng and Secretary Gao. Secretary Gao affirmed, "The district committee and government have included assisting in the establishment of the Wharf Chamber of Commerce International Association as an important task for this quarter, and a working group has been set up."

President Miao can communicate directly with the working group if she has any questions; I will personally serve as the group leader.

Miao Zhi expressed her gratitude once again.

Secretary Gao was very insightful. Back then, he relied on his personal relationship with Jiang Beicheng to keep the dock chamber of commerce in the district.

The dockside chamber of commerce today is a completely different story; it has developed into an international business organization.

Secretary Gao was well aware that the district could only provide limited conveniences at present, but he would do what he could.

Since President Jiang has agreed to keep the global headquarters of the dock chamber of commerce in the district, the district should take over the relevant work.

In reality, the economic benefits and social impact brought about by this organization are immeasurable.

For Jiangbei City, a key reason for its location selection was the presence of a well-coordinated and communicative leadership team.

To achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Miao Zhi continued, "President Jiang, Secretary Shen has already told me about the reception arrangements for President Ma and Chairman Liu."

There's one more thing that might require your intervention.

Jiangbei City: "Speak!"

Miao Zhi said, "What I mean is to invite Chairman Gao of the Federation of Industry and Commerce to say a few words. If Chairman Gao can't come, Secretary Xu can come instead."

Jiang Beicheng understood what she meant.

The Jiangnan Municipal Government has always been the backer of the Wharf Chamber of Commerce. Now that the global headquarters has been established and the Chamber is going international, it needs the backing of the capital city from all angles.

It would be most appropriate for Chairman Gao of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce to come over.

Jiang Beicheng nodded.

I immediately made a phone call to Chairman Gao.

Jiang Beicheng himself is also the vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, enjoying the corresponding administrative rank benefits.

They simply lack administrative rank and real power.

There are many vice chairmen of this type, such as Lei Jun, Li Shufu, the eldest sister of the He family, Zhang Xinghai, the richest man in Jiangnan City, and so on.

However, Chairman Gao is a leader with real power.

Chairman Gao answered Jiang Beicheng's call.

In fact, he was also paying attention to the recent activities of the dockside chamber of commerce.

The establishment of the global headquarters of the Port Chamber of Commerce is a must, and attending it is part of his job duties.

I'm just waiting for Jiang Beicheng's call.

The way top-level people think is sometimes strange, and the relationships between them are also very subtle.

You have to make the call yourself.

It's not just a matter of saving face; it also involves issues of power and control.

The deeper meaning behind Jiangbei's call wasn't an invitation, but rather a way of "reporting" to Beijing.

So when he made the call, Chairman Gao readily agreed.

However, in Miao Zhi's eyes, and even in Secretary Gao's eyes, this was all about saving face for Jiangbei City.

They haven't yet crossed the line regarding the rules at this level.

Jiang Beicheng looked at Miao Zhi: "Sino-US Chamber of Commerce, European-Chinese Chamber of Commerce... should we invite them too?"

Miao Zhi stared blankly at Jiang Beicheng and nodded.

As expected of "International Jiang," his connections are impeccable. (End of Chapter)
