Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Even though he was not yet thirty, Jiang Beicheng still possessed a carefree and unrestrained spirit, always ready to retaliate against wrongs.

But having climbed to this position and seen so many people and things, I've gradually gained a sense of composure.

It quieted down.

On the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, apart from taking a helicopter tour to see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland, Jiang Beicheng stayed at the manor.

Drinking tea, fishing, horse racing, singing...

Tonight, we'll work together with the eldest daughter-in-law, Haitangxi, to try to conceive.

If successful, this will be his second child.

Liu Yifei is still in the United States to rest and prepare for childbirth. Jiang Beicheng promised her that after he finished dealing with the mining issues in Kenya, he would fly directly to the United States to visit her.

The two spoke on the phone before the business trip.

Sisi prayed for him, that everything would be alright.

On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiangbei City chartered two business jets, one to Sanya and the other to Singapore.

He took Aunt Shen, Xie Jun, and others to Singapore.

Upon landing in Singapore, his stepmother, Qianli, picked him up by car.

An MPV was also arranged to pick up the employees from Jiangbei City.

She has come to terms with it now, and she accepts that her eldest son maintains that kind of relationship with Shen Jun.

Previously, I even considered reminding or even driving away Shen Jun, acting as the head of the Jiang family.

He was almost kicked out of the house by his eldest son.

It wasn't to save face for Shen Jun, but rather because her eldest son felt she lacked the boldness and decisiveness of the older generation in the Jiang family.

Now she has a very broad perspective. Even if her eldest son is surrounded by countless women, regardless of age or type, she accepts them all.

To be precise, she had no right to interfere in the private affairs of a sophomore.

As an elder, especially in a top-tier wealthy family, you can be cunning, but you must always keep your mouth shut.

I didn't let Shen Jun ride in the same car today, not because I still have a problem with her, but because I haven't seen my son in a long time and wanted to talk to him more and get closer to him.

"What's it like to spend Chinese New Year alone in Singapore?" Jiang Beicheng asked as he got on the bus.

Qian Li smiled and said, "It was great. I attended the Chinese New Year gathering of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry the day before yesterday."

I arranged a card game yesterday afternoon.

If I hadn't come to pick you up today, I should have gone to get a beauty treatment.

Jiang Beicheng: "Looks like I was worrying for nothing."

"Hmm?" Qian Li turned and glanced at Jiang Beicheng. "Are you worried about me?"
Hahahaha~"

The thought of such a wonderful thing happening to him made Qian Li smile.

It feels a bit dramatic.

She had a very strong memory of how her eldest son used to treat her.

She only showed occasional concern because of her younger brother, Jiang Yucheng.

She's still a little unaccustomed to this today.

But I was definitely very happy inside.

This also means I'm a little closer to my eldest son.

Jiang Beicheng: "You really don't need my concern."

"Yes, of course we need it," Qian Li said with a smile. "My stepmother sensed it."

This is the most exciting gift I received this Chinese New Year.

"Please bring more next time."

He couldn't suppress a smile as he drove.

“Everything has been arranged in Kenya. You’ll be negotiating directly with the new government’s top officials when you get there,” Shen Jun said truthfully. “If things don’t go well, we’ll just take it.”

Jiang Beicheng: "If you are worried about your personal safety, you can stay in Singapore, and I will go there alone."

Qian Li smiled faintly, "If they were afraid of death, they wouldn't dare to call themselves members of the Jiang family."

Besides, I still need to go to them for an explanation regarding your father's death.

I used to live a life of ignominy because I was weak and afraid that Yu Cheng would be helpless and I would be letting your father down.

It's different now.

We have money and guns; if we don't get our revenge, I won't even respect myself.

Jiang Beicheng found this side of his stepmother somewhat unfamiliar; he had never seen her like this before.

But it's very charming.

Jiang Beicheng nodded and stopped discussing the issue.

His attitude today is exactly what his attitude is: if they can reach an agreement, they will talk; if they can't, he will take it.

They've been developing a private armed force in Kenya for the past six months, investing a huge amount of money in it.

It wouldn't be in his nature to not put him to the test and make a show of himself to the new government.

The car drove into the upscale neighborhood next to the Presidential Palace. Jiang Beicheng went back to his stepmother's mansion to rest for a while.

There's a get-together tonight.

Several wealthy Chinese immigrants or long-term residents gathered together for the Spring Festival.

Jiangbei City now also has Singapore permanent residency permits.

After waking up from a nap, I took my coffee to the terrace and lay down on my stepmother's beanbag chair. "Let's go out for dinner tonight? Zhang Lei's idea."

Qian Li looked at Jiang Beicheng: "We met a couple of days ago."

At a gathering of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

I have a video conference with Hong Kong tonight.

Jiang Beicheng nodded.

I put down my coffee cup and sent a message to Aunt Shen, asking her to come over and help tidy up.

I changed my clothes and went out.

……

"President Jiang, everyone's here, we've been waiting for you."

Zhang Lei greeted them warmly at the entrance of the hotel's private room.

"I kept you waiting."

"No, we all know you just landed this afternoon. We originally wanted to postpone it a bit so you could get some rest, but Zhang Yong has something to do later, so we'll stick to the original schedule."

It's quite a coincidence that we can all gather in Singapore.

Jiang Beicheng followed Zhang Lei into the private room.

The other guests in the private room also stood up to greet them.

At first glance, they all look familiar.

But I've never actually seen it in Jiangbei City.

This is the first time we've met.

"Do I need an introduction?" Zhang Lei asked with a smile.

Everyone laughed and shook their heads.

Although they have never met in real life, they know each other.

They are all prominent figures in the business world.

Jiang Beicheng greeted and shook hands with each other in turn.

First, there's Neil Shen, the founder of Sequoia China, whose status in the domestic investment field needs no further explanation.

I am currently a long-term resident of Singapore.

He and Zhang Lei are rivals, but also close friends.

The two are often compared, which is actually an honor for both of them.

Zhang Lei immigrated directly to Singapore.

"Mr. Jiang, it's an honor to meet you." Shen Nanpeng shook hands with Jiang Beicheng and praised him, "It's been a long time since the domestic business community has seen such a great wave."

You are now leading this era.

These two statements are somewhat exaggerated; Jiangbei City doesn't deserve such praise.

However, the first half of the sentence is indeed true.

When a big wave comes, you either retreat bravely or wait for the wave to pass and many die.

The past few years have been relatively calm in the domestic business world. Liu Qiangdong retired, Jack Ma went into seclusion, Pony Ma maintained a low profile, and Zhang Yiming and Huang Zheng were nowhere to be seen... It's as if they all sensed something and quietly made money.

Instead, it gave Lei Jun a chance to shine, making him a prominent figure in the past two years.

But this year, a man named Jiang Beicheng has emerged. His personality and style of doing things are bold and unrestrained, even surpassing that of Jack Ma back then.

That's why Shen Nanpeng said that his appearance has stirred up another wave in the domestic business world.

"President Shen, you flatter me. Every generation has its own Long March, and I just happen to be on the road," Jiang Beicheng replied with a smile.

One sentence brought smiles to everyone's faces in the private room.

Jiang Beicheng's words were both humble and not humble.

He possesses the humility of an entrepreneur, as well as confidence and a sense of responsibility.

Most importantly, they remained very calm and were not worried that the waves would drown them.

It makes everyone think he's a very interesting person.

I made a good impression even before it was served.

Then Jiang Beicheng walked toward his second acquaintance, Zhang Yiming, the founder of ByteDance and the richest Chinese person on this year's Hurun Rich List, surpassing Zhong, the owner of Nongfu Spring.

However, Zhang Yiming, the richest Chinese man, is the least noticeable.

"President Jiang," Zhang Yiming greeted him. (End of Chapter)
