Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Number of smiles: 16856/100000

On the business jet returning from Los Angeles, Jiang Beichen casually glanced at the system interface.

As for his personal life, he now pays very little attention to the system.

He has nearly 20 billion yuan in pocket money a year, which he can spend as he pleases.

There is also a special investment fund of 4 million yuan for each project, which can be cashed out by exploiting bugs.

In terms of daily expenses, there's simply not enough money to go around.

He already had a mindset of not paying much attention to money and had absolutely no interest in it.

However, in this talent war with Silicon Valley tech giants, Jiang Beicheng once again realized that cutting-edge technology is not something ordinary people can access.

This game is a bottomless pit of money.

It cost nearly $3 million just to poach seven top AI engineers, and the subsequent investment in AI is bottomless.

This is just one field of artificial intelligence. If we were to explore cutting-edge technologies such as aerospace, bioengineering, and controlled nuclear fusion, they would be bottomless pits.

Jiang Beicheng's mindset suddenly changed again, making him a little interested in money once more.

So I took a look at the system panel.

Undeniably, he has been making progress, pursuing increasingly higher emotional values, to a level that is unattainable for ordinary people.

When Jiang Beicheng first obtained the system, the emotional values ​​he pursued were women, material enjoyment, and networking...

Later, after entering the business world, I gradually felt the social responsibility of an entrepreneur, the happiness of employees, and the whole society's yearning for a better life... These have become the emotional values ​​of Jiangbei City.

Now, the exploration of cutting-edge technology, the irrepressible patriotism, and the concern for human civilization as a whole have become the emotional values ​​pursued by Jiangbei City.

The emotional threshold is very high.

His peers can't keep up with him at all.

The system's assistance was indispensable in getting him to where he is today.

If we want to go even further, the system's crucial role needs to continue to be leveraged.

We need more money.

Upgrading the system now requires more than 80,000 experience points, which seems like a lot, but it's actually much faster than the previous upgrades.

It's only been about a month since the last upgrade, and I've already racked up over 10,000 more smile points.

As your business expands and your workforce grows, the number of times you smile will increase rapidly.

The employee happiness here is basically derived from the employees of the companies he controls. If you include the employees of the companies he invests in, you can easily accumulate 100,000 experience points.

He invested in JD.com's food delivery service, and the delivery drivers alone bring a lot of happiness.

There are too many people.

To be a bit bold, if we could factor in the overall happiness of society, Jiangbei City would only need to do one thing every day: sit at home like a saint, spreading warmth and happiness to the world, then sip tea, fish, and watch the system's accounts steadily increase.

Thinking of this, Jiang Beicheng smiled.

My desires are indeed growing stronger.

They actually wanted to use their abilities to strengthen a country and a nation.

They even want to push human civilization forward.

"What are you thinking about? I rarely see you so absent-minded." Liu Yifei sat next to Jiang Beicheng and noticed that he was lost in thought. She assumed that something was bothering him and expressed her concern.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Flying in the air, I couldn't help but think about the possibility of human migration to outer space."

Liu Yifei stared blankly at Jiang Beicheng.

This……

Her thinking was too jumpy, and her worldview was a bit too grandiose. She was self-aware enough not to make any rash judgments.

He simply praised her, saying, "Does Beibei want to be China's Elon Musk?"

A technological legend revered by millions. "Him?" Jiang Beicheng chuckled. "Let's get the Mars colonization plan, which we've been talking about for so many years, implemented first."

Liu Yifei saw in Jiang Beicheng's eyes his disdain for Musk.

If it were the Jiangbei City of the past, she would have thought this young man was a bit pretentious and liked to create a persona to package himself.

But now, she's beginning to believe that Jiangbei City can surpass Musk's influence in the global tech industry.

She and her unborn baby were incredibly proud of this great man.

"I feel more honored to be your bedmate than to be a big star in the entertainment industry. I even want to retire from the industry and become a wife and mother," Liu Yifei joked.

The second half of the sentence was indeed a joke.

She is quite career-oriented and somewhat reliant on the glamour of the entertainment industry.

Retiring from the entertainment industry now is a bit unrealistic.

The main reason is that there are many vested interests involved, and she doesn't like to do irresponsible things.

However, the sentence from two years ago was a genuine feeling from the heart.

The honors that Jiang Beicheng pursued were worlds apart from the honors she sought.

Which woman wouldn't be proud to have met such a man?

Jiang Beichen smiled and pulled her into his arms, understanding her thoughts, and offered no comment.

He has always respected the choices made by the women around him, and he would always support them and ensure that they would not lose their lives on the path they chose.

……

The business jet landed in Beijing but did not return directly to Jiangnan City.

Currently, there are no commercial business jets in China with a range exceeding 14000 kilometers like the Gulfstream G700.

The business jets operated by airlines are mostly older models. A full tank of fuel is barely enough for a direct flight from Los Angeles to Beijing or Shanghai, but when returning to Jiangnan City, they have to stop for refueling.

Either stay in South Korea or take a break before flying to Gangnam.

Jiang Beicheng simply had the airline fly directly to Beijing so that Liu Yifei could return to her luxury home in Beijing to recuperate for a few days.

He also went to Beijing to socialize and check on the new year's atmosphere at the company there.

His friends in Beijing have asked him several times if he wants to get together.

In particular, his two old friends, Zhou Hongyi and Zhang Chaoyang, ask him almost every day when he will return to China, and also say that Lei Jun and Li Yanhong are waiting for him to return to Beijing for this meal.

Jiang Beicheng and Lei Jun have never met in private, but they are aware of each other.

In particular, the big commotion he made in Kenya led Zhou Hongyi to admit that his potential is to become a leading figure in the global technology industry.

At the World Intelligent Connected Vehicles Conference held in Beijing at the time, a group of automotive industry leaders and representatives from the artificial intelligence industry looked at him with strange eyes.

I think he's giving Jiangbei City too much credit.

They have worked hard in the industry for so many years, and have only achieved some remarkable results in China. However, compared with the global technology circle, their achievements are indeed not impressive.

However, after news broke that Jiangbei City's exorbitant offer to poach talent had left Zuckerberg and Cook at a disadvantage in the talent war, the domestic business community's opinion of him has changed somewhat.

This young man seems like someone destined for great things.

Lei Jun and Li Yanhong took the initiative to ask Zhou Hongyi and Zhang Chaoyang to organize a private meeting with Jiang Beicheng, so they could get to know each other and make friends.

Jiang Beicheng arranged a private room at the Beicheng Hotel (Beijing Guozijian branch) to have dinner with Beijing's internet tycoons.

In addition, I should also meet up with Uncle Bao and his friends in Beijing's social circles and have a chat.

Uncle Bao did help with the Ye family incident in Los Angeles, and Jiang Beicheng never expected that he would bring out a Mafia boss serving time in a California prison to save face for him.

The Ye family is very well-behaved now; they don't dare to rub against us or make noise indiscriminately anymore.

That Mr. Ye from AKA is probably still hospitalized, and he won't recover for another year or two.

First, we'll go back to Liu Yifei's mansion, have lunch, and adjust to the time difference. Later, we'll have driver Xie Jun take us to the Guozijian branch for the business dinner. (End of Chapter)
