Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 432 Begins the Development of Overseas Armed Forces

Jiang Beicheng's purchase of the Bugatti in Paris is proving to be a bit tricky to bring it into China through customs.

First, there are high tariffs, exceeding 10%, meaning that for every 100 million yuan, more than 10 million yuan in taxes will be paid.

Secondly, the W16 power system, with its high emissions, poses a significant problem for registration in China due to its severely excessive emissions.

Although he donated a national treasure to the country, which garnered the attention and importance of leaders and enabled him to find connections to resolve the vehicle registration issue, he did not want this small matter to be targeted by the media, amplified to an extreme, and have a negative social impact.

Therefore, we finally decided to go through the Hong Kong Free Trade Port channel.

The tariffs are only around one million.

Then register the vehicle in Hong Kong and enter the mainland.

Whether it's a dual-license plate or a tri-license plate, it doesn't mean you can travel freely throughout the country. It mainly facilitates trade within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The areas where a Hong Kong license plate can be driven actually depend on the approved scope on the permit card.

The scope of your investment in Hong Kong is directly related to factors such as the scale of your investment and the tax revenue you generate.

Jiang Beicheng registered the car under the name of Zhengxing Development Investment Co., Ltd., and obtained a license to drive it nationwide. He only needs to return to Hong Kong once every six months.

The car has now arrived at the port.

He went there to settle his mistress's affairs and also to pick up the car back to the mainland.

Although the main reason for buying this car was to gain the attention of the Bernard family, it's still nice to have a big toy to play with occasionally and listen to the roar of the combustion engine.

Shen Jun changed her flight and flew directly to Hong Kong.

Business jets are much more flexible in this regard; the airline simply needs to resubmit the route.

Upon landing in Hong Kong, he was picked up by his stepmother, Qian Li.

Ms. Qian is now a true female CEO of Central.

I come to Hong Kong about once a week.

When there are major projects, it's possible to make several trips a week.

They still reside in Singapore, since Hezhou Capital is the "base camp" of the Jiang family's overseas assets.

“Let stepmother see the aura of a great hero,” Qian Li joked.

Open your arms and embrace Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beicheng accepted the polite hug.

As long as you maintain a sense of boundaries with Ms. Qian in your mind, that's fine.

I don't deny that my father has a good eye for talent, but the bottom line cannot be crossed.

On the contrary, Ms. Qian was sometimes a bit too kind, and Jiang Beicheng would remind her to be mindful of her status.

Get on the bus with Qianli.

Jiang Beicheng praised, "Mixue Group did a good job on that project."

Zhengxing Investment Development Co., Ltd. gained its reputation in the Hong Kong stock market through cornerstone investment from Mixue Group.

"To be honest, Mr. Zhang from Hillhouse Capital personally came to see me. He is very optimistic about Mixue Group's stock price. His team reviewed a lot of data and analyzed the stock market performance of dozens of new consumer stocks around the world before making the decision to increase their investment. I have to admire Mr. Zhang's vision."

Hillhouse Capital is a god-like entity in mainland China.

Founder Zhang Lei is, needless to say, the "investment emperor" in the eyes of entrepreneurs.

Jiang Beicheng and he met through a financing project at JD.com. Jiang Beicheng later co-invested in Yizhi Culture Media, and they have a good personal relationship.

He now resides in Singapore and knows that Hezhou Capital is an investment company founded by Jiangbei City, and the two sides also have in-depth cooperation in the Southeast Asian financial market.

Jiang Beicheng humbly replied, "I still read his books frequently."

Logical thinking is worth learning from.

Qian Li nodded. "Zhengxing Investment Development Co., Ltd. is generally doing well in the Hong Kong financial market."

We also have a deep reserve of high-end financial talent.

Compared to the Singapore market, however, it appears somewhat sluggish.

Jiang Beicheng: "This is a problem of the larger environment."

Qian Li nodded, agreeing with Jiang Beicheng's point of view.

Due to certain special reasons, Hong Kong's status as a global financial center has declined significantly.

Singapore has shown great momentum in recent years, with a very active financial market. "By the way, the car has been registered as you instructed," Qian Li said.

"The main purpose of this trip is to pick up this big toy."

"Take a look at your stepmother while you're at it?" Qian Li said disdainfully.

In her eldest son's heart, she was not as important as a car.

Jiang Beicheng said, "I'll also take a look at my concubine."

Qian Li despised him even more.

However, he didn't say anything, as he had already gotten used to his eldest son's attitude.

She knew Li Xingying; her eldest son met her for the first time in Singapore, accompanied by the internet celebrity, Xiao Li.

The two also discussed the topic of "lover" at the time.

Xiao Li listened to this advice and is now wholeheartedly following his eldest son.

“There’s one more thing, the mining area in Kenya…” Qian Li was about to bring this up when Jiang Beicheng interrupted her.

“Even if you don’t tell me, I know we’ve lost. Fighting a rogue government is pointless, and you still have to pay such high lawyer fees and litigation costs.” Jiang Beicheng said directly, “I’m not going down the legal route.”

I will go there in person after the Chinese New Year this year.

They like to steal, so I'll steal back what I've got.

Qian Li admired his eldest son's roguish charm. Jiang Tao had been putting on airs as a businessman for too long, which was why he wanted to resolve the matter in a dignified manner. He went to negotiate with the other party with illusions, but an unexpected incident occurred.

Such an opponent must be dealt with using tough measures.

"I was just about to tell you this. Your father's former bodyguard, Chen Xingfu, was released after being detained for a year by the new Kenyan government. He has now started his own armed security company in a region of armed conflict."

In reality, it's a mercenary organization.

"They're using your father's name to try and take back the mining area," Qian Li told Jiang Beicheng, telling him what he had learned.

Chen Xingfu is well-known in Jiangbei City. He is a retired special forces soldier. After Zeng Wei, he became his father Jiang Tao's driver and private bodyguard.

When my father got into trouble, he and several professional security personnel were detained by the new Kenyan government.

If the embassy hadn't intervened, it would probably have been dealt with quietly.

Now that the new government has been gradually formed and is beginning to build a good image internationally, it has released all the businessmen and citizens from various countries who had been detained previously.

After hearing his stepmother talk about Chen Xingfu's self-organized armed forces, Jiang Beicheng respected him as a true man.

However, he did not believe in absolute loyalty.

Chen Xingfu, using Jiang Tao's name, used armed pressure to try and reclaim the peptide mining rights. It sounded very righteous, and his reasons seemed quite valid.

However, Jiang Beicheng felt that he was still acting out of personal gain.

After all, he's doing a life-or-death business right now, so there's no question of loyalty to the Jiang family.

They probably don't even know who's currently in charge of the Jiang family.

However, this is good news for Jiangbei City.

No sentiment is more loyal than "interests".

The more profit-driven Chen Xingfu is, the easier he is to exploit.

Jiang Beicheng instructed Qian Lidao: "Try to contact Chen Xingfu."

If needed, I can provide financial support to help him strengthen his armed forces and give him more leverage to challenge the government.

"If we can get the mining rights back, I can give him a certain share."

Chen Xingfu wants to turn the tables and become the master of his own destiny; he can't just rely on small-scale operations.

If you make even the slightest commotion, they'll wipe you out.

You need to have the resources to compete with your rivals.

Jiang Beicheng was willing to give him a chance.

It all depends on how he weighs it.

Should she continue to fight alone in the war-torn region, living in constant fear, or should she throw herself into his arms and transform herself from a bodyguard into a mining tycoon?

Let him analyze the pros and cons himself.
