Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Jessica, the CEO of Time magazine, greatly admires Jiangbei City.

Jiangbei City was not selected as this year's Person of the Year, mainly due to three reasons.

First, Jiangbei City's relationship with Silicon Valley is currently too hostile, or rather, with politicians in the United States, which makes things difficult for Time magazine.

There was no way around it; Jiangbei City had chosen its side long ago and acted as Dongda's vanguard in the competition in technology and finance, so it was impossible for it to be treated kindly by the political and business circles of the United States.

It's not that we didn't intend to recruit them.

Jewish financial groups extended olive branches to him multiple times, but he rejected them all without hesitation.

The second reason is that Jiangbei City often talks a lot of big talk, but rarely reveals its core technologies, or rather, it hasn't shown many things yet, making it seem very mysterious.

However, the eight individuals selected for Time magazine's annual theme, "AI Builders," are all people who have made significant achievements and contributions to the global AI field.

Jiangbei City was selected, but these eight people may not agree with it.

The last reason is Jiang Beicheng's personality. Although I didn't have the opportunity to meet Jiang Beicheng, judging from his style of doing things, he would never be willing to appear on the cover of Time magazine with others.

The kind of person he is prefers to enjoy things alone.

After all, he was an elite from the era of Dongda University who had slapped Silicon Valley giants in the face and ruthlessly rejected Jewish financial groups on multiple occasions.

An unconventional business tycoon.

Considering Jiangbei City's growing influence at Southeast University and even internationally, Jessica is very keen to cooperate with Jiangbei City.

Perhaps it won't be long before the fantastical tales told by Jiang Beicheng gradually become reality, shocking the global technology community.

He, this tech giant, is undoubtedly the Person of the Year next year, or the year after.

I never expected to be betrayed by my own colleague.

A Forbes reporter actually used Time magazine to satirize Jiangbei City.

The internet is now flooded with videos of Jiang Beicheng analyzing the flaws of Time magazine, which has caused a great deal of negative impact.

This severely damaged Time magazine's brand reputation and even caused economic losses.

Even though Jessica learned from Steve Forbes that the matter was orchestrated by politicians, she still gave Steve a good dressing down, and also cursed the politicians along with him.

Time magazine won't pay for these people's work.

In the eyes of businessmen, profit comes first.

Fortunately, one of this year's Person of the Year, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, has already set off for Tokyo University.

Without a doubt, the news media at Dongda University will definitely find topics to discuss and compare Jiang Beicheng and Huang Renxun.

Furthermore, with Jiang Beicheng publicly questioning the prestige of this year's Person of the Year award, even if he and Huang Renxun do not express their opinions, they will be pushed to the opposite side by the media and the public.

The online buzz surrounding Jiang Beicheng's criticism of Time and Forbes magazine will also subside.

Huang Renxun traveled to Dongda University by private jet. Before landing in Beijing, he was unaware of the conflict between the two magazines, Jiangbei City and Beautiful Country.

He was invited to attend the Blockchain Expo.

This is my first time here.

As the president of NVIDIA, Dongda University's AI technology is developing rapidly and has a huge market. Privately, he still has close cooperation with many Dongda University companies.

These companies also have a huge demand for Nvidia's chips.

Upon arriving in Beijing, I first went to see my old friend Lei Jun.

Lei Jun prepared a private room and food at the Beicheng Hotel Guozijian branch in Jiangbei City to welcome him.

The friendship between Huang Renxun and Lei Jun dates back a long time, as Xiaomi Group and Nvidia have always had a cooperative relationship.

Moreover, according to external sources, Lei Jun's family office overseas holds shares in Nvidia. Although they are not major shareholders, given Nvidia's current market value, Lei Jun's family office has made a fortune from this investment.

This relationship laid a solid foundation for the deep friendship between him and Huang Renxun.

In Huang Renxun's words, he himself is also a "rice fan".

Now, Xiaomi Auto, which is a source of great pride for Thunderobot, also has a deep partnership with Nvidia.

When the two met again, despite the vast difference in their net worth, they still acted quite warmly. "Mr. Lei, it's been a long time."

"welcome!"

They shook hands and hugged.

Lei Jun invited Huang Renxun to sit down.

"This restaurant has a very nice ambiance." Huang Renxun toured the restaurant from the main entrance all the way to the private room, "It felt like stepping back into the era of royalty and nobility."

Lei Jun smiled and introduced, "The owner of this restaurant is a very good friend of mine. You should have heard of him."

"Oh?" Huang Renxun frowned and muttered, "Beicheng Hotel!"

React instantly.

"Jiangbei City?"

Lei Jun smiled and nodded.

"President Jiang also has this business?"

Huang was somewhat surprised, as he hadn't paid much attention to technology, especially industries outside of AI.

The food and beverage industry is even less prominent.

Lei Jun laughed and said, "It's just Mr. Jiang's personal sentiment."

He just took some free time and turned his passion into an industry benchmark; that shows how terrifying he is.

Huang Renxun nodded, clinked glasses with Lei Jun, and said, "I've heard about his reputation many times in America, and I'm really looking forward to meeting him."

After finishing his drink, Lei Jun joked, "What a coincidence, have you seen the news?"

Huang Renxun asked in confusion, "What news?"

"Just search it yourself, on any online platform, both domestic and international," Lei Jun reminded him. "You could probably find it by searching your own name."

Huang Renxun was even more puzzled.

What major event happened during the long flight that lasted more than ten hours?

He picked up his phone, randomly opened an app, and searched for his own name.

The pop-up link read: "Huang Renxun was belittled by Jiang Beicheng, an entrepreneur from Dongda University."

"Huang Renxun's appearance on the cover of Time magazine is undeserved."

"..."

Huang Renxun was stunned for a moment, feeling confused, and then he laughed.

These social media platforms are really disgusting these days. They'll sensationalize anything related to you, take things out of context, and even throw dog shit in your face.

I never expected that my being featured in Time magazine would be used as a pretext for attacking me.

However, he noticed the name "Jiangbei City," which surprised and shocked him.

I've never met Jiang Beicheng and we don't have any interaction, so why was I belittled by him?

After watching Jiang Beicheng's speech in the video, he gave an awkward smile.

Lei Jun laughed and asked, "How do you feel?"

Huang Renxun shook his head and said, "President Jiang criticized Time magazine, but these media outlets are forcing me into this confrontation."

While eating, he said, "President Jiang's point of view makes some sense, but it's not appropriate to say it like this. It makes us, who have appeared on the cover of Time magazine, look bad."

No, that's not appropriate.

Lei Jun laughed and said, "I'm used to it. In President Jiang's worldview, there's nothing he wouldn't dare to say or criticize."

If you appear in public tomorrow, you'll definitely be asked about President Jiang's criticism of Time magazine. You should think about how to handle it. (End of Chapter)
