Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Jiang Beicheng and Ma Huateng worked together to make the high-ranking officials at the dinner table very happy.

The two were equally adept at making grand promises to their superiors.

Leader Gao knew that the two men were intentionally saying what he wanted to hear, but he still had a smile on his face.

The relationships within the top circles are indeed quite delicate.

Both of them are top business leaders in the country. Whether they respect you personally or value your power, being willing to put on an act and say nice things in front of you is also a form of respect.

It was also a kind of business acumen; the three of them laughed and clinked glasses.

Steven, president of the US-China Chamber of Commerce, and Jörg, president of the China-Europe Chamber of Commerce, are based in China and are quite familiar with the country's drinking culture. They were very impressed by Jiang Beicheng's performance in front of high-level leaders.

Even Chairman Liu of the Hongmen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh while eating.

Mr. Jiang doesn't look like a young man in his thirties at all. Sitting next to Ma Huateng, he looks more like an "old fox" who has been navigating the business world for decades.

His speech and behavior were so proper.

He couldn't even sit so calmly and respectably in front of his superiors.

President Jiang once again refreshed the three's impression of the "elites of the Dongda era".

The family dinner was very enjoyable.

After the meal, Jiang Beicheng arranged for a car to take the distinguished guests to their respective hotels.

He said goodbye, "See you tomorrow!"

……

The inaugural meeting of the International Chamber of Commerce of the Port was held in the district, but the city attached great importance to it, with the mayor bringing leaders from various departments such as civil affairs and commerce to attend.

In everyone's eyes, it seems that only someone at the level of the mayor of Jiangnan City, or someone of higher rank, is qualified to represent the political world and appear in the same place as Jiangbei City.

The two also appeared together at the last centennial celebration of Jiangnan University.

By this calculation, only two leaders can match Jiangbei City's status in the business world.

However, the Party Secretary's position is too high, which puts a certain distance between him and Jiangbei City, so the Mayor is the most suitable candidate.

The chances of the two appearing together in the same place, especially at major events or activities in Jiangnan City, are extremely high.

In this way, the district officials appear to be of relatively low status, belonging to those who follow behind, echo others, or handle affairs.

Just after greeting the city leaders, representatives from chambers of commerce across the country flocked over to congratulate Jiangbei City.

Mr. Xu, a businessman from Fujian and the owner of Dali Group, flattered, "Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Jiang. I am honored to have the opportunity to witness the birth of yet another international Chinese business association."

The most representative figure among Fujianese businessmen is actually Mr. Cao, the general manager of Fuyao Glass.

Miao Zhi also sent an invitation to President Cao as arranged by Jiang Beicheng, but President Cao himself was too embarrassed to come.

It wasn't that I was disrespecting Jiang Beicheng, but rather that I was worried my current reputation would attract a lot of criticism from President Jiang.

He has indeed become terrified of the internet in recent years and no longer dares to appear in public.

Jiang Beicheng made a couple of jokes with President Cao over the phone, then expressed his understanding and thanked him for his verbal blessing.

Mr. Xu, the general manager of Dali Group, was appointed to a critical mission, representing Fujianese businessmen to congratulate Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beicheng and President Xu exchanged a few pleasantries.

Mr. Nan, the president of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and general manager of Chint Group, came over to offer his congratulations, saying, "President Jiang, congratulations!"

He also mentioned Jack Ma briefly.

He indicated that he had completed the task assigned by Jack Ma.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and shook hands with President Su, inviting him to sit down.

...After greeting Jiang Beicheng, representatives from various chambers of commerce took their seats in the guest section.

Today's meeting proceeded according to the usual procedure, starting with speeches from the leaders.

The chamber of commerce representatives present, as well as representatives from the port chamber of commerce's branches around the world, remarked that they felt as if they were guests in Beijing while holding the meeting.

The fact that even high-ranking officials were invited to Jiangbei City is enough to show the attitude of the capital towards the dock chamber of commerce.

It can be said that this is something they attach great importance to. The leaders on the stage also felt as if they were having a meeting in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

The chamber of commerce representatives in the audience were all well-known wealthy businessmen from various regions, with a net worth of over 10 billion yuan, and some of them also held the position of National People's Congress representatives.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that some important meeting was being held in Jiangnan City.

After the leaders finished their speeches, Jiang Beicheng, as the president, delivered a speech.

As soon as he took the microphone, he was greeted with applause.

No one can overshadow his brilliance today; without a doubt, he is the most dazzling protagonist of the day.

The leaders on the podium are also willing to avoid direct confrontation today.

"...Thank you to all sectors of society for recognizing and sending their blessings to the Port Chamber of Commerce. Some business friends and international acquaintances were unable to attend in person due to personal reasons, but they sent their congratulations via video..."

Jiang Beicheng looked at Miao Zhi, who then personally played the video.

First, more than ten entrepreneurs from the Entrepreneurs Club sent their blessings.

Most of them are billionaires who dominate their respective fields and have a net worth of hundreds of billions.

In the video, everyone is smiling and speaking blessings in a serious tone.

Next up are the business associates from the Huaxia Alumni Association.

This social organization is a relatively private social circle; you can't just join it whenever you want.

The general public doesn't even know who is involved.

If it weren't for the fact that today, to congratulate Jiangbei City, the members of the Huaxia Alumni Association would still be a secret to the public, and the public would only know about Jack Ma and a few others.

Business representatives from various regions at the scene were already amazed by Jiangbei City's extensive network of connections.

Top-tier connections of a 30-year-old tycoon.

It's both shocking and enviable.

What followed was even more extravagant: representatives from chambers of commerce in various Southeast Asian countries, including the Singapore Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Thai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Malaysian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, sent their congratulations.

The scene confirmed the title of "International River".

In Europe, many wealthy businessmen, such as the Bernard family of the old friend LVMH Group, also sent congratulatory videos.

Since there were no capable businessmen in Africa, they went straight to the ruling party, with several presidents personally stepping forward to congratulate Jiangbei City and the port chamber of commerce.

...A video of well wishes allowed everyone present to rediscover the "circle of friends" in Jiangbei City.

Some even believe that Jiang Beicheng has deeper connections, but due to many sensitive factors, he has not revealed them.

After the video finished playing, Jiang Beicheng began his speech.

Miao Zhi, the vice president sitting in the front row, looked at Jiang Beicheng with a sly gaze.

She knew the predecessor of the dock chamber of commerce best; who could have imagined that Jiang Beicheng could lead the dock chamber of commerce to the international stage?

This woman, who relied on her status as "sister-in-law" to become the vice president, actually became the biggest beneficiary.

I'm growing to admire the Beicheng brothers more and more.

After Jiang Beicheng finished speaking, he followed the host's instructions and, with the witnesses of his peers, announced the establishment of the Global General Association of the Wharf Chamber of Commerce.

With the support of city and Beijing leaders, the Global Headquarters of the Port Chamber of Commerce was officially established.

There was warm applause.

After the ceremony, Jiang Beicheng stepped down from the stage and instructed Miao Zhi to make proper arrangements for the reception.

He needs to deal with the media reporters present today, especially those from several well-known international media outlets.

"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang, congratulations to the Wharf Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Jiang, Time Magazine's Person of the Year has been selected. What are your thoughts?"

It immediately provokes Jiangbei City.

The implication is, why aren't you Time Magazine's Person of the Year this year?
What's even more ironic is that several people were featured on the cover of Time magazine this year, but you, Jiang Beicheng, were not. What are your thoughts on that?
This foreign journalist's question is quite difficult. (End of Chapter)
