Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

"I'm wearing a suit and a top hat today, something I haven't done in years, to experience the world's most prestigious automotive culture party at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance."

"After ten years of car manufacturing, we've always hoped that FF would produce a classic model that would appear on the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance stage..."

Jiang Beicheng stood to the side, holding a glass of champagne, watching Jia Yueting film a video.

Jia Yueting is building cars...

Hmm... Jiang Beicheng dares not flatter him; he'll just treat it as a joke.

However, this guy was lucky; every time he was on the verge of death, God opened a window for him.

Now, they're capitalizing on the traffic generated by short videos to create a persona for themselves.

Sure enough, the stock price went up, and they also secured new financing.

It's just a car.

It seems that mass production is still not possible.

"Mr. Jia, it seems that Mr. Jiang is also here."

When Jia Yueting's secretary saw the familiar figure, he took the initiative to remind Jia Yueting.

"Which Mr. Jiang?" Jia Yueting's attention was focused on filming the video, and he didn't react immediately.

The secretary's gaze turned towards Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beichen smiled and raised his glass in greeting.

Jia Yueting looked incredulous.

It's incredible to meet the founder of Lian Capital here.

He has been keeping a close eye on the developments in the domestic business community, after all, returning to China is his dream.

They also hope that some capital will give him a chance to turn things around.

He naturally knew Jiang Beicheng, an outstanding young entrepreneur who was currently leading the way in the domestic business world.

He is also a very well-known investor in China.

When he met these well-known investors, he couldn't help but fawn over them.

I've gotten used to it during these years abroad.

He quickly brought over a glass of champagne and went up to toast, "Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence! I never expected to meet you here."

"Nice to meet you, please guide me."

He bowed slightly, showing proper courtesy, and clinked glasses with Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beichen glanced at his team and joked, "President Jia is a big internet celebrity now."

Jia Yueting gave an awkward laugh.

That statement is actually quite ironic.

Successful entrepreneurs generate traffic, which is called "entrepreneurial personal brand," like Lei Jun.

To others, it seems that a struggling entrepreneur like him making videos is just a desperate attempt to become an internet celebrity.

Moreover, he himself began to question whether he still possessed the qualities of an "entrepreneur."

"We're forced by circumstances." Jia Yueting displayed an optimistic side, warmly inviting Jiang Beicheng, "Mr. Jiang, there's a coffee shop over there, shall we sit down and chat?"

Jiang Beichen glanced at his watch. "I'm sorry, Mr. Jia, I probably won't have time today."

He didn't want to hear Jia Yueting make empty promises.

waste time.

Jia Yueting understood the deeper meaning: that the person was not interested in him personally or his projects.

President Jiang won't even give him a chance to communicate.

“This kind of wild party isn’t really suitable for discussing business. Let’s arrange a tea party another day,” Jia Yueting said shamelessly. “Mr. Jiang, would it be convenient for me to have your contact information?”

He took out his phone, wanting to add Jiang Beicheng as a WeChat friend.

"Secretary Shen, could you please get President Jia's WeChat ID?" Jiang Beicheng instructed Shen Jun, turning his head slightly.

Shen Jun did as he was told.

Jia Yueting gave an awkward laugh, feeling it was somewhat insulting.

Ten years ago, I was a leading figure in China's internet and manufacturing industries.

While sighing, I felt mostly helpless.

They certainly can't compare to President Jiang.

Even at its most glorious moment, it couldn't compare to President Jiang's current achievements.

He's not even thirty yet.

It's already quite an achievement to be able to meet President Jiang today and become acquainted with him.

With a smile on her face, she exchanged WeChat contacts with Shen Jun, the secretary of Jiang Beicheng.

"Mr. Jiang, let's get in touch again." Jia Yueting waved with a smile.

It's too late to get this sugar daddy now, so I'll stop bothering him and continue filming with my photography team.

Some domestic car bloggers, however, actively befriended him.

In the world of online celebrity cars, Lao Jia still has some traffic that they can try to piggyback on.

Although most of this traffic is just from people joining in the fun, haters are still fans, right?

As long as the buzz and attention are generated, that's enough. "Will he ever be able to return to China?" Shen Jun sighed.

Jiang Beicheng laughed and said, "Does it matter? Living in a deception he designed himself is actually quite happy."

Shen Jun smiled and said, "The boss does summarize."

Let's continue exploring the auto show with Jiangbei City.

When you get tired, you can go to the Bugatti booth for coffee; Winkelmann has arranged a VIP reception room for you.

This is my first time attending the Yuanshitan Auto Show, and I didn't expect the presidents of several major car companies to be so enthusiastic, even more so than the reception I received from my loyal customers.

Some people spend a lot of money to prove their identity and strength in order to gain the respect of others.

But some people, just by standing there, command all respect.

That's the feeling in Jiangbei City right now.

I was sipping my coffee and casually opened my phone.

The short video platform's big data push showed him several videos of the Yuanshitan Auto Show in a row.

Almost all of them were posted by domestic car bloggers.

Attending a car show of this scale makes one appear to have good taste.

In particular, the car blogger who collaborated with Mike on the video instantly gained a higher social status in the eyes of netizens.

"Family members, I'm at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance right now, and I actually ran into Mike! Mike is a very friendly guy, and he showed me around his four Pagani Rondas."

He truly deserves to be called the most awesome performance car enthusiast in the Chinese car community.

No, that's too early to say. Do you know who else I met?

Young Master Jiang.

Yes, that's the wealthy player from Jiangnan City who kicked a LaFerrari and owned the last gasoline-powered Bugatti.

Mike, the big boss, also knew of Jiang's reputation. Not only that, but executives from Bugatti, Ferrari, Aston Martin, and other global performance car companies all came over to toast Jiang.

My mind was blank.

Even Mike, the big boss, was probably confused.

There's no way around it, this is probably just how powerful Young Master Jiang is.

Do you know what Young Master Jiang and the CEOs talk about? Not limited edition supercars.

They were talking about F1 paddock slots, which is a business worth over a billion US dollars.

Young Master Jiang also wants to invest in the Ferrari factory team…

Less than half an hour after meeting, the car blogger quickly edited and posted the video.

The intention is too obvious; they just want to ride on the fame and traffic of "Young Master Jiang".

In the performance car world, Jiang Xiaoye's reputation is indeed very high.

The comments section was filled with expressions of shock and praise.

"You've really improved, kid. You've managed to get a shot of Young Master Jiang himself."

"Holy crap, even Mike, a big shot, respects Young Master Jiang this much?"

"What Mike considers a limited-edition Pagani is just a toy to Jiang Xiaoye."

"Young Master Jiang is far more capable than Boss Mike."

"Young Master Jiang is indeed impressive, with so many CEOs personally receiving him."

"Is Jiang really going to get involved in F1? There isn't a single Chinese factory team in the paddock yet."

"Acquiring a team directly is the easiest way."

"At least tens of billions."

"Is Young Master Jiang short of 10 billion?"

...A nickname they have in the automotive industry has brought these car bloggers a lot of video data and discussion.

Ironically, the automotive industry, which is the least frequented by many, has produced a number of legendary stories.

Jiang Beicheng smiled, put away his phone, put down his coffee cup, got up to say goodbye to Bugatti CEO Winkelmann, and prepared to go back.

It's a three-hour drive from the original stone beach to Beverly Hills. Driving back at this time will allow me to make it just in time for dinner with Liu Yifei.

Enjoy the California coastline along the way.

I drove my Mustang around, turned around, and was just about to leave when I heard someone call out "Young Master Jiang" again.

In California, quite a few people still know his reputation in the underworld.

Three Bugattis followed behind his Mustang, and Jiang Beicheng glanced back at them.

A tall, thin young man covered in tattoos got out of the Bugatti Red Dragon and ran after him.

"Young Master Jiang, please do me the honor of having dinner together tonight."

Shen Jun, sitting in the back of the van, texted Jiang Beichen, "Mr. Jiang, shall we meet?"

Jiang Beicheng sent a waving emoji.

They're gone. I'm going home for dinner.

It's not that he has to spend time getting to know and befriend everyone who calls him "Young Master Jiang." It's a good thing that there are rumors about him in the martial arts world.

But in such a vast world, it would be a tragedy if just anyone could meet him. (End of Chapter)
