Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 284: Female stars are full of scheming!
"Did you sleep well last night, Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Beicheng slept until noon and prepared to go to Beicheng Hotel for inspection.

When they reached the fifth floor, the elevator door opened and Wu Wen walked in in a professional suit and greeted Jiang Beicheng with a smile.

There is intimacy in the smile.

Her figure has a different feel when she wears professional attire.

The leg lines are very obvious and look straight in black stockings.

Needless to say, the buttocks are tighter and more visually impactful than those trained through yoga.

Jiang Beicheng naturally put his arm around her waist, his palm fell on her hips, and responded with a smile: "It's okay, I just slept alone and slept too deeply."

Wu Wen smiled and said, "Then let's have a drink together tonight to celebrate?"

Jiang Beicheng nodded, lowered his head and whispered teasingly in Wu Wen's ear: "Red wine is the best match for sexy women!"

Wu Wen nodded.

It means that he understands the meaning of Jiangbeicheng's words.

After the event last night, I was actually ready to have a drink with Jiang Beicheng to celebrate.

She had just stayed up for two or three nights and her mental state was not very good. President Jiang noticed it and was very considerate, allowing her to go back to her room to rest.

After a good sleep, my physical condition has recovered a lot.

After finishing the remaining tasks at hand and having a few more drinks with Jiang Beicheng, this trip to Shanghai came to a perfect end.

Is there any woman who doesn’t like to have a drink with Mr. Jiang?

He is really a master at playing with romance.

Drinking with him, alcohol has an aphrodisiac effect, and it is difficult for a woman to stay with him.

Last time it was to keep Mr. Jiang hanging, and this time Wu Wen was not planning to stay.

The elevator door opened, Jiang Beicheng gave Wu Wen's tight buttocks one last pinch, let go, and followed her out of the elevator.

Wu Wen smiled and waved: "Boss Jiang, see you tonight."

Jiang Beicheng got on the business car arranged by Shen Jun and went to the Bund to inspect the stores.

The peak period at noon was not as crowded as the two stores in Jiangnan City, and there were no long queues to get numbers and eat.

There was basically no one outside.

There were some customers waiting for their meals sitting in the tea room and lounge of the store.

The hall was full of tables.

It’s not because yesterday’s celebrity promotion didn’t work. On the contrary, the reputation of the Shanghai branch of North City Hotel has become a huge hit overnight.

Most of the customers who came to dine today bought their ordering numbers from scalpers, and each number was sold for four or five thousand yuan.

The most expensive private room was actually sold for tens of thousands of yuan.

Today, the average consumption per table of guests reached 3000+.

The traffic of the Shanghai store is not as large as that of other stores, but the spending power is two to three times that of other stores.

This is also the business philosophy proposed by Executive Chef Zhu Wei.

Judging from the business situation on the second day, Jiangbei City affirmed Zhu Wei's market insight.

The Bund in Shanghai cannot just sell food and services, it must also sell value.

"Boss Jiang, all the private rooms have been booked!" Zhu Wei came over and mentioned to Jiang Beicheng, "A rough estimate is that today's turnover will reach over 150 million. The key depends on the spending power of the guests in the private rooms tonight."

The average cost per person is over 3000, and the daily turnover is 500 million, which means the number of visitors received per day is only over .

This is half the peak number when the MixC store in Jiangnan City opened. When the store opened, the maximum number of visitors in a single day exceeded 1000.

For a newly opened store, even with the strong publicity from celebrities, this traffic is actually quite low.

But Jiangbei City is satisfied with the turnover of 150 million.

The consumption in the private room at night will ultimately determine today's profits.

The cost of a private room for business reception may be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

There are quite a few expensive wines in the store.

Jiang Beicheng just asked out of curiosity, who is the customer who spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy a private room table from a scalper?

There must be some strength.

If necessary, he would personally receive guests.

Zhu Wei said uncertainly: "The person on the phone only said it was a lady named Yang, and no other information was disclosed."

Ms. Yang?
Jiang Beicheng frowned slightly.

I really can't associate the other person's identity.

Without asking any more questions, he gave Zhu Wei a few instructions and went to the office on the third floor to work.

I held a video conference and first asked about the opening of Xu Rurongcheng store.

The Chengdu store still follows the traffic route.

Thanks to the customer flow of Taikoo Li business district, the number of customers at the opening yesterday exceeded 700.

Xu Ru estimated that she could make over a thousand today.

Beicheng Hotel’s traffic IP is currently on a very stable path.

Next are the Beijing stores and Shanghai stores. The positioning of the Beijing store should be higher than that of the Shanghai store, basically a high-end private club.

The Imperial College is located at the foot of the imperial city, and the people it serves are either rich or noble.

The Hangzhou store will be a very special store in Jiangbeichengxin, focusing on the high-end social market for young people. The menu price will be reduced to about 500 to 600 yuan per person, creating more possibilities for traffic routes.

The two stores are expected to open before the end of the year.

After the video conference, Jiang Beicheng dealt with some work that he had to handle personally.

Ask Shen Jun to make a pot of tea.

Sit here for a while.

We'll see how things go during the evening rush hour.

Number of smiles: 750/1000

My smile value has increased dramatically in the past few days.

The company's employees, as well as his relatives and friends who care about him, are all happy about the opening of the new store and send their blessings.

Last night’s fashion event was attended by so many celebrity friends and we had a lot of fun.

The smile value soared directly to 750 points.

[This month's 4000 million yuan living allowance has been transferred, please check carefully.]

A smile appeared on Jiang Beicheng's face.

This is the sound I like to hear most at the beginning of every month.

The bulk of my spending last month was at last night’s fashion event, but the system didn’t count it as a business investment project.

I guess the money was given to Wu Wen to spend, and the system regarded it as money spent on picking up girls.

This event cost a lot of money. Just inviting celebrity guests, fashion gurus, supermodels, and self-media... it cost almost 30 million. In addition, booking the hotel venue, inviting Lena to assist, and arranging the event site... the cost was close to 50 million.

However, sponsors have invested 20 to 30 million yuan, and big brands and Internet companies are willing to participate in such a star-studded event.

The final accounts have not been checked yet, but the actual expenditure is estimated to be at least 20 million.

However, it pushed Beicheng Hotel and "Shangcheng" to the top of the hot searches.

Mainly the "Shangcheng" project, after this fashion festival, multiple fashion businesses can be derived. After Wu Wen received a US$200 million angel investment from Jiangbeicheng, she can adjust the company's business strategy towards a fashion group.

In addition, Jiang Beicheng's personal reputation has become more famous. Doing business in Shanghai requires some level of prestige.

To break into the entertainment industry with force, one must also have a good reputation.

To sum up, what you actually get is three faces.

The face of the owner of a high-end business restaurant on the Bund in Shanghai.

The face of a newcomer in the venture capital market.

The face of the new elite in the entertainment industry.

From multiple dimensions, Jiang Beicheng felt that the money was well spent.

"Mr. Jiang, Ms. Yang in the private room wants to meet you." The store manager downstairs came up to report.

He said in the morning that he would meet Ms. Yang in the evening, but now he has come to visit her in person.

"Do you know him?" Jiang Beicheng asked.

The store manager shook his head and said, "She was wearing a mask. Her assistant communicated with me."

Face mask?

A person appeared in Jiang Beicheng's mind.

Such caution probably has something to do with the entertainment industry. "Let's go down and take a look!"

Jiang Beicheng went downstairs with a smile.

The store manager knocked gently on the door, and after receiving a response, he pushed the door open and introduced: "Hello, Ms. Yang, this is our General Manager Jiang."

Jiang Beicheng recognized the other person at a glance.

The eyes and forehead are very recognizable.

"You go down first!" Jiang Beicheng instructed the store manager.

The store manager nodded, left and closed the door.

"Is the Sanya event over?" Jiang Beicheng asked with a smile.

Yang Mi took off his mask and smiled: "How did Mr. Jiang know it was me?"

He stood up and walked over, giving Jiang Beicheng a polite hug. "I'm sorry, I couldn't come to support Mr. Jiang yesterday due to work reasons. I hope Mr. Jiang doesn't mind."

Apart from anything else, Da Mimi is very smart when it comes to socializing.

She was not actually invited to either the opening of the North City Hotel or last night's fashion event.

But she found out by accident.

Not only did she learn about this subversive fashion event, but she also learned about Jiang Beicheng's identity.

I came here today to apologize.

The two had never met before and had no contact.

She spoke as if she had been invited, because the work had no flavor of participation.

There is also a kind of smell that comes from the reputation of Jiangbei City that I have heard of for a long time.

This is a woman's social ability.

"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy a private room table from a scalper?" Jiang Beicheng poured her tea with a smile.

Once you come, you are a guest.

Warm welcome.

"Mr. Jiang, how dare you bring this up? Don't you know how difficult it is to reserve a private room at the North City Hotel?"

“You can give me a heads-up in advance!”

"I don't have any contact information, so I had no choice but to come to the store." Yang Mi showed great sincerity. "Anyway, I have to come and congratulate Mr. Jiang in person."

He gave a look to the assistant beside him.

The assistant took out a gold ornament from an exquisite lacquered wooden box.

A sailboat made of pure gold symbolizes smooth sailing.

"Mr. Jiang, I wish you a prosperous business and smooth sailing."

Yang Mi took it personally and handed it to Jiang Beicheng, and casually mentioned, "I hope you don't get angry about the stylist's matter.

There are too few resources of this kind in China, and as artists, we can’t help but fight for them.”

She also directly stated that there is a competitive relationship between her and Liu Yifei.

This is normal in the entertainment industry. I hope Jiang Beicheng can adapt to this atmosphere.

Jiang Beicheng didn't take Lao Wei's matter to heart. At most, he wanted to use the influence of Yang Mi and Liu Yifei to vent the anger of his good friend Lao Pi.

Lao Pi himself didn't want to pursue the matter. In his eyes, Director Wei was just an insignificant person.

However, Jiang Beicheng still felt a bit of sincerity when Yang Mi took the initiative to come to his house to give gifts and congratulations today.

At the current price of gold, this pure gold sailboat would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Da Mimi understands investment.

"I accept your kindness!" Jiang Beicheng accepted her gift.

In front of Liu Yifei, he also said that he admired Yang Mi's figure.

No matter how the two fight, it will not affect his regard for Liu Yifei as a friend, nor will it affect his appreciation for Da Mimi's Da Lei.

Everywhere.

Of course, if you insist on talking to him about topics like acting skills, character, etc., Jiang Beicheng can only laugh.

He didn't enter the entertainment industry to be serious!
When Yang Mi saw Jiang Beicheng accept the gift, she felt relieved and was sure that Jiang Beicheng did not misunderstand her because of Liu Yifei.

"Mr. Jiang, please give me some advice." Yang Mi raised his glass and clinked it with Jiang Beicheng.

The two sat down to eat and chat.

When there is a quarrel, take out your phone to take some photos of delicious food.

"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your hard work!" Yang Mi handed the phone to Jiang Beicheng.

She strokes her face with one hand and smiles at the camera with a slightly charming smile.

In name, she wanted Jiang Beicheng to take a daily photo of her, but in reality, she wanted Jiang Beicheng to appreciate her in person.

See through but don’t speak out.

I took a photo of her dining.

"Very good! Mr. Jiang is obviously a photographer!" Yang Mi praised, "The composition is so clever. The Bund night view is gorgeous, but it doesn't steal my own aesthetic.

Very harmonious.

Apart from the photographer I worked with, no one among my friends has taken such beautiful photos of me.

Mr. Jiang, that's amazing."

Raise a toast to Jiangbei City.

Listen to other people's eloquence and social skills.

It's really pleasant to listen to.

It's true that they can build relationships.

After drinking, Yang Mi took the opportunity to ask for a photo with Jiang Beicheng, taking the topic of photography.

"Mr. Jiang, there's no need to be so distant!" Yang Mi said with a smile, and took the initiative to move closer to Jiang Beicheng, creating the impression that they were acquaintances and friends.

I posted it on Weibo after taking the photo.

The caption reads: "After work, I get together with friends to wish them a prosperous opening!"

It's hard to dislike this scheming.

They are actively promoting your content, you can’t spoil their fun by asking them to delete it!
After the announcement on Weibo, Jiang Beicheng was forced to become Da Mimi's friend.

I wonder what Liu Yifei would think after seeing this?
Or is there a possibility that she just posted it for the other party to see?
While other female artists compete with their sponsors, these female artists who label themselves as independent women have changed their approach and are competing with each other for connections and resources.

In this regard, female artists are particularly vain.

It is also the place where people love to play tricks the most.

Jiang Beicheng could certainly see through Yang Mi's series of actions tonight, but for him, the most comfortable state was to keep the fire from the other side of the river.

After finishing his meal with Yang Mi, he went downstairs to see her off to the car, and they hugged each other goodbye.

"Boss Jiang, I almost forgot the most important time." Yang Mi took out his phone and smiled at Jiang Beicheng, "If Boss Jiang needs my help, please feel free to contact me.

Mr. Jiang, would you mind leaving me your contact information?"

It's hard to say no.

Such a good flatterer.

Using "put in effort" instead of "help" lowers one's own status and value.

At the same time, it is also to gain resources for yourself and maintain connections in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and added her on WeChat.

She hugged Jiang Beicheng again: "Mr. Jiang, keep in touch. Good night."

I said good night and got in the car.

……

Liu Yifei was studying the script when her assistant brought her a cup of coffee. She hesitantly said, "Sister... President Jiang..."

"What's wrong with Mr. Jiang?" Liu Yifei looked at the assistant in confusion.

The assistant was not in a position to comment on the matter, so he showed the trending searches on Weibo to Liu Yifei and asked her to make her own judgment.

Liu Yifei took the phone and frowned slightly when she saw the photo of Yang Mi and Jiang Beicheng.

Isn’t she in Sanya?
Did you come to Shanghai specifically to see Jiang Beicheng after the event?

Liu Yifei felt uncomfortable. She was good at handling things, but that didn't mean she was magnanimous. Especially in the open and covert struggles among artists in the entertainment industry, you couldn't be magnanimous enough to tolerate the other party's backstabbing and provocation.

"Ask a private chef to come to your house tomorrow to make dinner and invite Mr. Jiang to come over for dinner." Liu Yifei instructed her assistant.
