Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

It's not that no private enterprises have discussed mining cooperation in Africa with Sinoma International.

However, as a subsidiary of a central state-owned enterprise, Sinoma International represents the national image and would certainly not choose to deal with uncontrollable risks using extremely harsh methods.

To avoid being criticized by Western media.

It's important to know that just one country like the US spends over a billion US dollars annually on spreading rumors in the international community to smear the image of this major Eastern power.

Rather than taking on uncontrollable risks, it's better to just give up on this line of work.

However, many state-owned enterprises are not doing well now and are struggling to make ends meet.

If the policies above are slightly more lenient, they will proactively explore new businesses.

This is especially true for centrally-administered state-owned enterprises engaged in production and business activities overseas.

Jiangbei City is definitely a very powerful and trustworthy partner.

He has a very high image and reputation in China.

That's why I had this meeting with Yang Hongda, General Manager of the Africa Division of Sinoma International, tonight.

Moreover, it was Chairman Peng of the parent company, the building materials group, who personally made the call.

Yang Hongda was very much looking forward to cooperating with Jiangbei City.

A living business legend.

It has created too many impossibilities.

However, considering the political and social environment in Kenya, he had to express his concerns on behalf of the group.

When he learned that the SSG was the Jiang family's private armed force, he was shocked and all his concerns disappeared.

It can be said that Jiangbei City has already influenced the political situation in Kenya.

He could even use his armed forces to establish a regime.

Since he said that Ruto's National Union Party would continue to be re-elected, it's highly likely that he will interfere in Kenya's elections.

Just like many capitalists who interfere in US and Western elections, it's all for their own benefit.

only……

Yang Hongda expressed doubt about Jiangbei City's purpose in investing huge sums of money to develop its armed forces, saying, "President Jiang, I heard that SSG has received a huge investment."

Based on the security business that SSG is currently engaged in, you must have invested so much money not just to protect the Jiang family's overseas assets, right?
You have to use the profits from the Kenyan mines to cover SSG's losses, and those losses are huge.

"A business that doesn't make money, Mr. Jiang..."

Jiang Beicheng understood Yang Hongda's meaning and asked him in return, "Does Mr. Yang think a nuclear war will break out in the world?"

Yang Hongda didn't react immediately, and replied, "Perhaps my understanding hasn't reached that level yet."

However, considering the devastation of nuclear war, humanity cannot afford it.

Jiang Beicheng: "Then why are nuclear powers still engaging in nuclear competition, while non-nuclear states are also developing nuclear forces?"

Yang Hongda: "Because of deterrence..."

He understood Jiangbei City's meaning in an instant, even before he finished speaking.

Jiang Beicheng smiled at him and said, "Some things can be left unused, but they can't be without."

Yang Hongda was stunned by those words.

He seemed to see the ambitions of Jiangbei City.

What does a mining area in Kenya mean to this young entrepreneur?

He wants a bigger stage.

“Mr. Jiang, I understand what you mean.” Yang Hongda raised his teacup to Jiang Beicheng. “I know how to report to headquarters. I look forward to our cooperation.”

Jiang Beicheng raised his teacup in return, saying, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Dinner is ready, let's move over and eat.

Yang Hongda: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your kind hospitality."

After enjoying the hospitality of Jiangbei City at the hotel, Yang Hongda checked into a private room to rest.

Before taking a break, he made a video call to the chairman of the parent company.

I will report to Chairman Peng on the progress of today's discussions.

"Chairman Peng, I had a very pleasant talk with President Jiang today. There is no need to consider safety hazards for the Malindi mining area project."

The expression is very direct.

Chairman Peng said, "President Jiang has done a lot of work in this regard?"

“Chairman Peng, President Jiang has already made arrangements in Kenya. It’s no exaggeration to say that if he wanted to, he could completely change the political situation in Kenya.”

Chairman Peng frowned.

Be bold in trying to understand the meaning of this sentence.

Does this mean Jiang Beicheng already has the ability to support a puppet regime in Kenya? That's his understanding.

There must be many things behind this that Jiangbei City is unwilling to talk about openly.

After all, he is an entrepreneur from a major Eastern country, so he should pay attention to his personal image when he is active abroad.

However, personal image and personal skills are not linked.

In places with such a harsh political and social environment, a tough and ruthless approach is needed.

"I understand. You write a report and submit it to the board of directors for discussion. Then I will contact the senior management of Kunlun Mining Group to promote the implementation of the project."

"Okay, Chairman Peng." Yang Hongda hung up the phone, feeling extremely excited.

Sinoma International's business in Africa has declined significantly in the past two or three years. As the general manager of the Africa business unit, he has been under tremendous pressure from headquarters and is trying to find new business growth points.

I never expected to have the honor of meeting President Jiang.

In that sense, President Jiang did give him a helping hand.

Once the Malindi mining area is secured, regardless of how good the performance needs to be, as long as it can be operated smoothly, he can return to the parent company, the building materials group, as a senior leader.

We must make good friends with President Jiang.

……

Late at night, Jiang Beicheng sat on a lounge chair outside a detached villa in the hotel, feeling the wind blowing from the African wilderness.

On the coffee table next to me were champagne and some snacks that the hotel staff had just brought over.

The kerosene lamp on the coffee table cast a dim, yellowish light, which shone brightly against the silvery moon over the open field.

For a moment, I felt a sense of freedom, as if my soul had left my body.

"Do you prefer drinking alone?"

Stepmother Qian Li's voice came from behind.

Jiang Beicheng turned around and smiled, pointing to the empty bench next to him and inviting her to sit down and feel the wind in the wilderness.

Qian Li had just taken a shower and was wearing a brightly colored nightgown.

It feels a bit like being on a beach vacation.

Her figure is indeed too dazzling.

"Is everything settled?" Qian Li raised his champagne glass to Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng raised his glass and said, "You don't trust my abilities?"

Qian Li smiled and said, "It's just that it's gone by too fast."

Your methods are unpredictable and even frightening.

"This matter, which hadn't been resolved in two years, has been handled with astonishing speed."

"This is the result you wanted," Jiang Beicheng said, taking a sip of champagne.

"Thank you." Qian Lijing bowed to Jiang Beicheng.

My stepmother is a bit sentimental tonight.

“Once you’ve resolved your inner conflict, you can embrace a new life and a new chapter in your life. That’s what your father would want to see. He doesn’t need you to live a life of widowhood for him at your age of thirty.”

Qian Li smiled, took a big gulp of wine, put down the glass, lay on his side, and stared at Jiang Beicheng. "Isn't my new life just about working like a beast of burden for you?"

My life is very fulfilling now.

emotion……"

He smiled and shook his head.

Jiang Beicheng: "Don't you believe in fate?"

"Fate, hahaha." Qian Li laughed out loud and asked Jiang Beichen, "Are we destined to be together?"

Jiang Beicheng: "It's impossible for us."

"Hahaha, you're so funny. I didn't think that way." Qian Li reached out and patted Jiang Beicheng. "But speaking of which, you and your father are too outstanding. After living in the Jiang family for so many years, your stepmother's standards have also risen."

There will always be someone better than my father.

"What do you mean by rushing me to talk about marriage?" Qian Li countered, pressing Jiang Beichen for an answer. "Are you worried about making a mistake yourself? Hey, don't be surprised, I've heard a lot of similar stories during my years living abroad. Maybe it's because of different cultural norms overseas; they seem quite accepting of it..."

Jiang Beicheng reminded her, "Ms. Qian, you've had too much to drink."

"I understand, young master. I had too much to drink and misspoke. I apologize."

"They were all smiles and grins, showing no respect for elders whatsoever."

"Then don't laugh, hahaha."
