Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 427 You are that wealthy Eastern tycoon!!!
Good news: Weibo's daily active users have reached a five-year high.

Bad news: They're all following Jiang Beicheng to criticize Weibo.

Jiang Beicheng's purchase of the Qianlong Emperor's jade seal, its donation to the National Museum of China, and his interview with the European Times that subtly criticized European politicians have garnered him a large online following in China.

He has a huge following now.

He made time to deal with Weibo's CEO, Wang Fei.

They even cursed the boss, Cao Guowei, along with him.

Three questions for Cao Guowei, Chairman of Sina Group.

Weibo instantly became a hot topic.

It attracted not only netizens, but also a large number of highly educated self-media to participate and comment.

The main task for Weibo's technical department today is to delete comments and remove trending topics.

However, the traffic and influence were too great, and it was simply unsustainable.

This directly caused Weibo's servers to crash.

Cao Guowei, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

Things have finally calmed down a bit.

However, he had already realized the seriousness of the matter.

After all, Jiang Beicheng's Weibo post listed a lot of evidence.

This is not just evidence that Wang Fei and other high-ranking officials deliberately plotted to damage his reputation.

It also includes some inside information.

There have even been some illegal operations that have harmed the interests of investors and shareholders.

If this continues, things will get really messy.

His expression suddenly changed, and he looked at CEO Wang Fei, criticizing him in a very serious tone: "Since Weibo was handed over to you, not a single day has been easy for me."

Look what you've done!

Wang Fei stared at his boss in shock.

Having risen to this position, he certainly understood the true meaning behind his boss's words at this time.

They're trying to distance themselves from everything and make him take the blame.

Wang Fei really wanted to say, "Didn't you tacitly approve of many of these things?"
However, the explanations seemed weak and unconvincing.

They had no say in the matter.

Cao Guowei continued, "Take the initiative to go to the Group's Supervision Department to explain the problem."

Wang Fei was cursing a thousand curses.

However, considering his own equity stake, he has to take the blame.

“Okay, Mr. Cao, I will provide a perfect solution to this matter,” Wang Fei said, conceding.

Cao Guowei patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Come back after this is over."

All benefits remain unchanged.

These two sentences were the greatest comfort to Wang Fei.

His only hope now is that his lawyer can help him win the case and that he won't have to go to jail.

Even if the case is filed and the nature of the crime is determined, try to get bail pending trial or parole.

For now, it's best to stay out of the public eye.

Wang Fei bid farewell to Cao Guowei and left the office.

Soon after, Sina Group and Weibo officially issued a notice.

First, I apologize to Mr. Jiang Beicheng.

Then they shifted all the blame onto CEO Wang Fei, announcing that Wang Fei had been suspended from his duties and was under investigation by the group's supervisory department. If any illegal activities were found, the case would be transferred to the relevant departments.

Finally, they expressed their willingness to cooperate with relevant departments in rectification efforts and to remain true to their original aspirations... and so on.

A standard public relations model.

However, the effect was significant; Cao Guowei successfully absolved himself of any wrongdoing.

Jiang Beicheng shook his head and laughed when he saw the statement on Weibo.

An old fox is indeed an old fox; he deserves to be among the first people to get involved in the internet industry.

These methods won't be enough to suppress him.

However, while it made him nervous and guilty, Jiang Beicheng felt much better.

If there is a next round of competition, both sides should try to use their ultimate moves and see who is tougher.

……

Liu Yifei had her hair and makeup done in the afternoon and walked the red carpet in the evening, so Lao Pi couldn't get away. Jiang Beicheng called his driver, Xie Jun, to accompany him out for a stroll. Xie Jun also had another identity: Jiang Beicheng's personal bodyguard.

He's very good at fighting.

However, when she was leaving, the eldest daughter of the Bernard family, Delphine, paid her a personal visit.

This was expected in Jiangbei City.

Although Liu Yifei sensed that Jiang Beicheng's status in the Bernard family had greatly improved, she was still somewhat surprised that the eldest princess had personally come to visit.

I felt incredibly proud.

That's the child's father.

I felt a sense of pride and joy.

I have never longed to have a child as much as I do today.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you, but I've come on behalf of my father to cordially invite you to tonight's dinner party," Delphine said warmly.

Jiangbei City already had an invitation to the banquet, but it was from Wu Yue, the president of LV Greater China.

Now, it is the eldest princess who personally extended the invitation.

As he had expected, the Bernard family had reserved the head table for him at tonight's dinner.

"Thank you for making the trip yourself, Ms. Delphine. It's an honor to be invited to the Paris dinner." Jiang Beicheng accepted politely.

"Mr. Jiang, considering your safety during your trip, my father instructed me to arrange security personnel for you to ensure your safety."

Delphine brought two burly professional bodyguards with her.

As they say, when you're out in the world, you have to earn your own respect.

You've made such a big splash in Paris these past few days, people are going to take care of everything and provide you with the best service.

If something goes wrong at their dinner party, the host will be the most embarrassed.

Jiang Beicheng expressed his gratitude.

Delfina concluded by praising Liu Yifei: "Crystal Liu, your dress is beautiful today."

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded in gratitude.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'll get back to work now. Have a nice day in Paris," Delphine said, taking her leave.

Jiang Beicheng: "I'll take you."

They left the hotel together with the eldest princess.

They went to the Saint-Tuan flea market with their driver and two professional bodyguards arranged by the princess.

Jiang Beicheng rarely goes shopping normally, but when he travels abroad, he especially likes to visit local secondhand markets.

Find some artwork and things that interest you.

Saint-Ouen's secondhand market is very famous in Paris, but it's also a place where all sorts of people mingle. If you go there alone, be careful not to flaunt your wealth, or it could affect your personal safety.

Jiang Beicheng has professional bodyguards with him, so he doesn't need to worry too much about his personal safety.

As I strolled past a vintage store, I saw an elderly man dressed in a British style, smoking a cigarette while reading a newspaper.

The newspaper in my hand is the newly published English edition of the European Times.

However, Jiang Beicheng's personal portrait was printed very clearly.

Sensing that someone was browsing the shop, the old man casually waved his hand, indicating that they could look around by themselves.

Jiang Beicheng didn't disturb him and went into the shop to take a look.

The old man, Yu Guangzhong, noticed the security guards standing at the door and immediately perked up, looking at the bodyguards with a puzzled expression.

The bodyguard smiled at him and nodded politely.

He rushed into the house, but froze the moment he saw Jiang Beicheng.

He picked up the newspaper in his hand again and glanced at it.

Very similar.

He then looked up and stared at Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beicheng walked over, holding a Dupont cigar box, and politely inquired about the price, "How much?"

"You...you..." The old man paused for a few moments, then pointed at the person in the newspaper and said, "Are you the wealthy Easterner who made Laszlo bow his head?"

As a well-known European collector, László holds a relatively high position in the hearts of these vintage shop owners.

This is equivalent to the status that Ma Weidu holds in the eyes of vendors at Panjiayuan Market in China.

I just saw this newspaper. The old man was lamenting László's Waterloo at the auction and thought this wealthy Easterner was very powerful.

Unexpectedly, the wealthy Easterner who had made headlines on the front page of the European Times was standing right in front of him.

Jiang Beichen smiled and nodded: "It's me!"
