Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 283 Liu Yifei took the initiative to invite to her home!
Jiang Beicheng admires Wang Changtian, the chairman of Light Media, very much. He has an elegant temperament. Compared with the two brothers of Huayi and Yu Dong of Bona, he truly embodies the Chinese people's restraint and the character of being wise but appearing foolish.

It seems to have little presence, but it has stood firm in this industry for a long time.

The original Huayi and the later Bona both had a bit of a flash in the pan flavor.

After so many years, Light Media remains strong.

While others are recruiting big directors and stars, Guangguang is discovering young directors and helping actors realize their dreams of becoming directors.

While others are talking about industrial films, the focus is on animation IP.

While reaping the strategic dividends, it can also release blockbuster commercial films every year.

I have to admire Mr. Wang’s industry insight.

After the two "Nezha" movies became a hit, Guangxian has accumulated multiple animation IPs, with more than ten projects already established.

Wang Changtian is also well aware that this type of investment is extremely risky, and nothing can be seen before the film is released.

The payback period is still very long, which will put a great test on the company's financial reserves.

But I still insist on spending a lot of money on anime.

Of course, movies, TV series, variety shows, artist management... these are also the main businesses of Guangxian. Judging from the group's financial report, the performance is quite good.

However, not all of it will be used to fill the huge funding gap for animated films.

The best way is to raise funds on the stock market, increase capital and issue more stocks.

The stock market is an important channel for film and television companies to raise funds.

Lian Capital bought a large number of shares when Enlight Pictures was raising funds.

These stocks have suffered losses compared to the period when "Nezha 2" was a hit.

Jiang Beicheng was not planning to sell it either. He and Hailin both attached great importance to several projects that Light Media was preparing and were prepared to hold shares for a long time. They would continue to buy shares in the future and become important shareholders of Light Media.

Judging from the current shareholding ratio of Lian, it is not yet a major shareholder of Light Media, and Jiangbei City regards it as a partner.

He has also just entered the entertainment industry.

Under such circumstances, Wang Changtian asked Zhang Ruonan to help him convey his congratulations on his grand opening and the successful event, which was actually a great honor for him.

In Wang Changtian's eyes, Lian is not yet a big investor in the entertainment industry, but he himself is a very powerful investor in the entertainment industry.

The couple holds more than 40% of the shares. Based on the current market value of Guangxian of 660 billion yuan, their assets have reached more than 260 billion yuan.

Whether it is personal wealth, social influence, or status in the circle, it is incomparable to the current Jiangbei City.

What's more, behind Guangxian are two major investors, Alibaba and Meituan.

Jiang Beicheng expressed his gratitude when he heard the congratulations brought by Zhang Ruonan.

Hugging Zhang Ruonan, he admired her and said, "This path suits you very well now."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your recognition." Zhang Ruonan smiled and nodded.

In the past few years, her management team has had a big problem with her packaging.

Either she is a sweet girl or she is trying to create a couple relationship with top male artists, which has caused many scandals. Not only did it not make her popular, but it also ruined her popularity.

In the past two years, she has shown some of the characteristics of a mature female artist.

The series of TV series are also good.

Relying on the huge traffic of short videos, she has been promoted to the ranks of young actresses.

Jiang Beicheng had a good impression of her.

"Keep up the good work!" Jiang Beicheng encouraged.

"Mr. Jiang, please take care of me!" Zhang Ruonan bowed slightly to show politeness.

In the eyes of big capitalists in the entertainment industry like Wang Changtian, Jiangbei City can only be regarded as an upstart and still needs to grow.

However, the identity of a "newcomer" is enough for other artists in the circle to rush to make friends with him.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were those third- or fourth-tier female artists, President Jiang would definitely be the one to lick their boots.

However, Jiang Beicheng has no interest in those third- and fourth-tier artists, unless they have special potential and are favored by him.

When he was still a second-generation playboy, he spent money to have in-depth exchanges with several third- and fourth-tier female artists.

Apart from the feeling of pleasure, there is no other feeling.

In this regard, men actually also seek a sense of accomplishment.

People like to hunt higher-end prey.

In the entertainment industry, an artist’s status and commercial value represent “high-end”.

The elevator door opened and Zhang Ruonan waved goodbye: "Bye, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded.

"See you later, Mr. Jiang." Wu Wen also went to take a short rest. After getting up, she had to prepare for the evening activities.

Jiang Beicheng returned to his room and asked Shen Jun to massage his shoulders.

"Do you want a back massage? The hotel has essential oils!" said Shen Jun.

"Aunt Shen also has this unique skill?" Jiang Beicheng said with a smile.

"I've been learning privately from online courses, but I haven't had any real-world experience yet."

"Hahaha, you're a very qualified assistant." Jiang Beicheng said with satisfaction: "Let me experience Aunt Shen's craftsmanship today."

I took a shower and lay down on the bed to relax.

Don’t say it, I have a feeling.

Although the technique is a bit unfamiliar and I occasionally press the wrong acupoints, the feeling is right.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Aunt Shen, I'll give you a raise.

There will be extra rewards for every new skill developed."

"No need!" Shen Jun said considerately, "Sometimes I feel that Mr. Jiang is too tired, so I want to learn some techniques and knowledge in this area so that I can help Mr. Jiang relax occasionally.

If you really want to enjoy it, you have to hire a professional therapist.”

Jiang Beicheng said, "We'll move into the manor by the end of the year and hire two health masseuses at high salaries to provide live-in services."

"Why don't you bring one with you? Business trips are so tiring and the work intensity is so high!"

"It's inconvenient to be on a business trip, so Aunt Shen is enough."

Shen Jun smiled, pushed and pushed, and grabbed Jiang Beicheng's butt hard.

"Aunt Shen, the force is a little too strong."

"I did it on purpose!"

……

At 5:30, the star red carpet for the "Shangcheng" fashion event began.

As the founder, Wu Wen walked the red carpet to increase her exposure and influence.

Jiang Beicheng did not walk the red carpet, but went straight to the guest seats on the red carpet.

Several big names in the fashion circle walked the red carpet and came towards Jiang Beicheng, greeting him politely.

After Wu Wen finished walking the red carpet, Jiang Beicheng took the initiative to call her over and introduced her to several fashion seniors.

In fact, Wu Wen knows these people. After all, her entrepreneurial direction is closely related to them, so she will naturally pay attention to these predecessors.

But without Jiang Beicheng's help, it was difficult for her to get in touch with these seniors in the fashion circle.

Jiang Beicheng introduced her: "Boss Sha, the fashion director of Bazaar.

Mr. Yu, the fashion director of men's wear.

There is also Mr. Liu, the newly appointed fashion director of Vogue.

These three people can be called "fashion demons" in the circle.

An object of great respect among artists.

The person with the highest status and influence should be Liu Chong, the fashion director of Vogue.

He also just switched to Vogue this year. He had been working at GQ in the past, leading GQ to success and setting records for fashion magazine sales.

Under his leadership, GQ has produced many phenomenal fashion events.

Jiangbei City has a deep memory of the annual fashion festival that booked the entire ancient water town.

Admire Liu Chong's talent.

"Mr. Sha, Mr. Yu, Mr. Liu!" Wu Wen greeted them one by one, asking for advice and communicating with her seniors as a newcomer.

In fact, they had already met while waiting for the red carpet.

But they just greeted each other politely.

Wu Wen could feel that the three seniors were not very optimistic about her as a newcomer, and even looked down on her.

Now in front of President Jiang, it’s completely different.

The three seniors were full of praise and compliments for the newcomer.

Wu Wen was not affected by this differential treatment. It was enough for them to give face to President Jiang.

Mr. Jiang is her investor. Mr. Jiang has face, so naturally she has face too.

"Mr. Jiang, in order to participate in your fashion event, all the artists tonight have brought out their best items." Bazaar Fashion Director Sha Xiaoli flattered.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded: "I came to the entertainment industry to make friends. It is an honor for me to be honored by these artist friends."

"Mr. Jiang is so modest. I want to learn from you." Liu Chong bowed and said, "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Jiang in the future."

"I couldn't ask for more. Director Liu's art is something I admire very much."

"Thank you, President Jiang, for your recognition."

Liu Yifei walked over here, sat down next to Jiang Beicheng, and greeted old friends in the fashion circle such as Liu Chong.

"Xixi is trending again today. She's incredibly beautiful," Sha Xiaoli praised. "It comes from the heart, without any commercial compliments."

Liu Yifei herself also felt that her outfit tonight was too perfect.

It has a bit of a "Spring Girl" feel.

Now she doesn't even use these childish words to describe herself, but tonight she really feels like she's dreaming of being a girl again.

The look was stunning and fit perfectly into the food aesthetic of the evening.

"This is my first time to participate in such a special fashion-themed event. The concept of food aesthetics is so avant-garde. I am honored that President Jiang asked me to come." Liu Yifei praised it highly.

Yu Ling said, "There's no similar theme in China. It's a very bold concept. I'm curious who came up with this idea."

Wu Wen solemnly introduced: "When President Jiang and I discussed this topic, my reaction was the same as that of several of my predecessors: I was surprised.

He was not sure whether to implement his ideas.

Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of all parties, the results tonight were quite good.”

Liu Yifei looked at Jiang Beicheng in surprise: "Is that your idea?"

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Don't you think it's not like that? Or do you think I don't have such a high aesthetic sense?"

"No, no!" Liu Yifei waved her hands repeatedly, "Mr. Jiang is too comprehensive."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and sat down to continue watching the show.

This subversive fashion event has already sparked heated discussions on social media from the very beginning.

The fashion galas held by several major fashion magazines in recent years seem to be quite disappointing, with nothing eye-catching coming out.

Editors-in-chief and directors have been replaced one after another, but the situation remains the same or even deteriorates.

A fashion event with a bold theme of "food aesthetics" instantly ignited the dying flame of this circle.

"Is it okay to blow away all the fashion events in the country?"

"Finally saw something new."

"I have to say, the editor-in-chief of Shangcheng is quite something."

"Shangcheng is going to become a new fashion elite."

"Liu Yifei was amazing tonight!"

...and received continuous positive reviews.

At the dinner after the event, celebrities enjoyed delicious food while surfing the Internet.

To be honest, they didn't expect that this event would have such a big influence and such a strong response.

When I came here, I was a little worried.

I’m afraid that these activities organized by newcomers will drag them into a trap.

Most of them were arranged by the boss, or came for Mr. Jiang's face.

The result was unexpected.

Zhang Ruoyun, Wang Jiaer, Liu Wen, Ni Ni, Zhou Ye, Zhang Ruonan... and more than a dozen celebrity artists and supermodels who participated in tonight's event were eager to toast Jiang Beicheng.

Mr. Jiang is not only a new capital force in the entertainment industry, but also a new trend in the fashion circle. Seize the opportunity to make friends with Mr. Jiang and leave a good impression on him.

Jiang Beicheng used the influence of these stars to give Wu Wen another push.

Let Wu Wen come out to toast and thank the guests, tell the story and concept of "Shangcheng", and extend cooperation invitations to the celebrity guests present.

After the dinner, Jiang Beicheng took Wu Wen to Liu Yifei's room alone to discuss business cooperation.

"Xixi, I won't be polite with you. Are you free to be the cover girl of the next issue of Shangcheng?" Jiang Beicheng invited.

If Jiang Beicheng asked, she would definitely agree.

But when it comes to business, there are more factors to consider. "Mr. Wu, what is the theme?"

Wu Wen said: "Focus on the Chinese mainland, the great songs of the Dong people, and the culture of ethnic minorities."

Liu Yifei nodded. "Okay, I'll agree first. You can contact my studio. If there are no problems, I'll arrange a time to cooperate with your filming."

Wu Wen was excited. Today's event had already made Shangcheng famous. With Liu Yifei on the cover of the new issue, a phenomenal magazine might emerge.

While thanking Liu Yifei, he looked towards Jiangbei City.

I can't express my gratitude to him enough.

"Mr. Jiang, wait a moment!"

When Jiang Beicheng and Wu Wen were about to leave, Liu Yifei suddenly called him.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded at Wu Wen, and Wu Wen left first.

Let her have a good rest for a night and adjust her condition. She is really too tired these days.

Jiang Beicheng couldn't bear to bother her again tonight.

He returned to Liu Yifei, watched her remove her makeup, and jokingly asked, "Is there anything private you want to tell me?"

"Then I'll leave?" Lao Pi joked.

"Beibei, be serious!" Liu Yifei didn't dare to move and reached out to pat Jiang Beicheng's hand.

Jiang Beicheng held her hand naturally.

Played with it for a bit.

She didn't reject it.

It's no different than hanging out with closer friends.

"Are you in a hurry to leave Shanghai?" Liu Yifei asked.

"I will stay for a few days to observe the situation of the Shanghai store. If the strategy is wrong, I will adjust it immediately." Jiang Beicheng said truthfully.

"I'll be in Shanghai for a few days as well. I'm collaborating with Huawei. I'll be attending their new product launch and then joining the crew for filming." Liu Yifei invited, "Come to my house when you have time. I'll share some of my favorite delicacies with you."

Jiang Beicheng gestured and said, "It's just a phone call."

"Done!" Lao Pi finished removing her hairstyle and said easily, "I'm old now, and this kind of high-intensity work is too tiring."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lao Pi. What brand of coffee do you like? What kind of cigar do you like?" Liu Yifei was ready to express her feelings.

Lao Pi didn't appreciate her kindness: "I only recognize Mr. Jiang. If you want to repay the favor, just return it to him."

He gave Jiang Beicheng a look.

Brothers, you are loyal enough!

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "When are you leaving? I'll ask Assistant Shen to arrange a flight for you."

"Let's talk after I wake up!" Lao Pi stretched and went back to his room.

Jiang Beicheng glanced at the time and stood up and said, "I'll come to your house when I have time. I'm going to rest first."

"Hmm? You still want to stay in my room?" Liu Yifei shook her finger and said with a smile, "I can't let you stay overnight today!"
