Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Mrs. He knew that Qian Li, the CEO of Hezhou Capital, was Jiang Beicheng's stepmother.

Jiang Beicheng kept a low profile during his trip to Singapore, leading Mrs. He to speculate that he was visiting relatives.

As for whether it was a visit from a younger generation to an elder, Mrs. He didn't speculate or like to gossip about such things.

It was just a way of expressing my greetings.

Jiang Beicheng didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "This time I'm here for the Kenyan mining area. Ms. Qian will go with me to resolve the issues left behind by my father."

Madam He's expression changed slightly.

She knew about it.

Because one of the investors who signed the performance-based agreement with Jiang Tao was GIC.

GIC is actually the true sovereign wealth fund of Singapore.

After Jiang Tao's incident, Qian Liyi moved to Singapore. Besides the properties Jiang Tao left her there, she also came to help deal with the debts and, in accordance with Jiang Tao's will, to negotiate with the investors on his behalf.

From a certain perspective, some of the Jiang family's assets have been "controlled" by GIC.

However, from a legal perspective, this is a normal debt dispute.

From a personal perspective, Mrs. He expressed her apologies to Jiang Beicheng, saying, "Mr. Jiang, my husband had already retired when your father had the accident."

We shouldn't interfere in GIC's debt problems.

"Madam, you're overthinking it. Thank you for your concern," Jiang Beicheng said, raising his glass.

He felt honored by Mrs. He's caring words.

But he understood Mrs. He.

Temasek is nominally Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, managing trillions of dollars, but the Singapore government, as one of its shareholders, never participates in Temasek's affairs.

They have control.

It could even be described as their family wealth.

During Mrs. Ho's tenure as CEO of Temasek, there was a persistent discourse surrounding "domestic capitalism."

However, since her husband was in power at that time, she had no concerns.

Two years before her husband was about to retire, she gradually relinquished power, stepping down as CEO of Temasek and no longer holding any position at Temasek.

Suppress public opinion.

Putting aside the fact that Jiang Tao didn't have the influence to ask Madam He for help before, even if he did, she would have considered many social issues.

If GIC allows them to interfere again, the resulting public outcry could even change the very nature of society.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Jiang." Mrs. He clinked glasses with Jiang Beicheng, "and express my sincere respect to your Jiang family."

The father left behind a mess, but in less than two years, the son rose again and stood even higher.

He Fu couldn't help but admire the Jiang family's resilience.

Dilan said with concern, "I have discussed the mining situation in Kenya with Ms. Qian. If she needs a better legal team, I can help introduce her."

The methods of civilized society are completely ineffective in areas rife with bandits.

Jiang Beicheng had given up any hope of seeking legal recourse. "Thank you for President Dilan's kindness, we have already found a solution."

"Then I wish you all the best," Di Lan said with a smile and a toast.

Mrs. He said, "Mr. Jiang, may your wish come true."

"Thank you, Madam."

We didn't talk much about work during today's meal.

It is not appropriate for Mrs. He to discuss these matters openly at this time.

It would be best to have Dillan, as an "agent," maintain the cooperative relationship between Temasek and Lian Capital, or rather, the business dealings between the Li family and the Jiang family.

Becoming friends with Jiang Beicheng privately and maintaining frequent contact would benefit the shared interests pursued by both families.

Mrs. He has a very sharp eye for people.

If Jiang Beicheng didn't meet his standards, there wouldn't be this dinner tonight.

She boldly predicted that their close interactions would not be limited to just China and Singapore.

Throughout the Chinese-speaking world, and even globally, there may be a record of their journey together in the future.

Jiangbei City wasn't actually as far-reaching or as deep-rooted as Madam He had imagined.

In business, they can be partners, achieving mutual benefit and win-win results, but he will never depend on others or seek any backing for himself.

Despite managing trillions of dollars, Temasek doesn't give him the idea of ​​bowing and scraping to flatter.

The Li family might like you, but they won't respect you, let alone think highly of you.

Today's meal was merely a meeting with Mrs. He to make friends. As for whether the Li family is willing to take care of his businesses in Singapore, that depends on his own value to gain their approval, not on begging.

After meeting Bernard, who was once the world's richest man, Jiang Beicheng now treats everyone and every family the same way: he toughens himself to earn the respect he deserves.

Mrs. He has met countless important figures, and in the business world, she greatly admires Jiang Beicheng's arrogance.

Today, on our first meeting, my impression of Jiangbei City has not only not diminished, but has become even more profound.

After returning home from dinner, she shared the meal with her husband.

Mr. Li rarely heard her praise a young person so highly.

"Have you considered immigrating to Singapore?" Mr. Li asked Mrs. He.

Mrs. He said uncertainly, "It's not appropriate to ask these questions on our first meeting."

But I heard that he has already bought property here and is neighbors with Zhang Yong, the founder of Haidilao.

His stepmother, Qian Li, has been helping manage family affairs in Singapore.

Mr. Li nodded: "Let the MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) and MAF (Ministry of Finance) make contact first."

If necessary, I will arrange a meeting with this Mr. Jiang.

This sentence means to take care of someone.

Mrs. He smiled and nodded: "The sincerity you brought should be enough to move him."

……

After dinner, Jiang Beicheng returned to his stepmother Qian Li's mansion.

She and Aunt Shen have already started packing; they're preparing to fly to Kenya tomorrow.

"Were you entertaining clients?" Qian Li put down what she was doing, poured Jiang Beicheng a glass of water, and while expressing her concern, reported on the car order she made at the Rolls-Royce showroom on Orchard Road that day, "I've taken care of it as you instructed."

The license plate I bought for 240 million Singapore dollars is quite convincing; even the brand consultant was hesitant to serve me and hurriedly went to invite the general manager over.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "The real value of this license plate is not the 240 million Singapore dollars you see."

"What is that?" Qian Li asked, puzzled.

Jiang Beicheng said, "Its original owner was Madam He."

"Who?" Qian Li stared wide-eyed at Jiang Beicheng.

Shen Jun also looked up in surprise.

"Besides her, which other Ms. He needs to be addressed with the honorific title of 'Madam'?" Jiang Beicheng asked, taking a sip of water.

Shen Jun got up and walked over. "Are you having dinner with your wife tonight?"

Jiang Beicheng: "Originally, General Manager Cai of Hemei Group had already arranged dinner, and Zhang Yong was also there, so we were going to have a small get-together."

But Mrs. He couldn't refuse the meal.

Qian looked at Jiang Beicheng with an incredulous gaze. This was the first time his eldest son had come to Singapore as a businessman.

This was my first time here. I stayed for two or three days. First, I met with some of Singapore's top business tycoons to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

This already demonstrates his social status and influence.

I never expected to be sitting at Mrs. He's dinner table again tonight.

That was no longer a simple dinner party; it was a threshold to cross into Singapore.

Qian Li speculates that both Hezhou Capital and the Jiang family's family office will experience a period of rapid development.

There's a powerful figure behind you pushing you forward.

“I see adoration in your eyes,” Jiang Beichen joked to his stepmother.

“It’s not just admiration, it’s reverence,” Qian Li added with a smile. Her eldest son rarely made such lighthearted jokes with her, so she readily accepted them, further deepening their close relationship.

Shen Jun asked one more question: "Has the house been decided?"

Qian Li replied, "I received a call from Hemei this afternoon."

"Son, your spending skills have improved far beyond what you've achieved before. You settled on a mansion worth nearly 400 million in just one afternoon."

Jiang Beicheng laughed and said, "I'll correct you on two points. First of all, spending my own money isn't considered wasteful."

Secondly, I only watched it for half an hour in total, and it's pointless to spend time and energy on something like this.

Treat it as everyday consumption.

Qian Li and Shen Jun exchanged a smile.

He's being too pretentious. (End of Chapter)
