Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

After finishing the acquisition of DeepVision Technology, Jiang Beicheng sat in his father-in-law Hailin's office drinking tea.

The two first talked about the AI ​​field.

Hailin's ideas were not as radical as Jiang Beicheng's; there was no need to obsess over a trillion-dollar model, as there were too many constraints at hand.

The speed at which they burn through money is also extremely exaggerated.

He was worried that his son-in-law wouldn't be able to handle it.

The losses could wipe out the Jiang family's entire fortune.

Jiang Beicheng could sense his father-in-law's concern, but he remained calm, took a sip of tea, and smiled, "This is nothing."

The large-scale model is just the beginning. Humanoid robots will possess intelligence, brain-computer interfaces... the industry will follow suit. If money could solve everything, I wouldn't need to put in so much effort.

Hailin stared at Jiangbei City in shock.

They underestimated their son-in-law's ambition.

He's determined to get involved in the global technology war, first making a name for himself in the AI ​​arena and demonstrating the strength of this great Eastern power.

Upon closer examination, the Jiang family's current business empire is quite extensive, enough to keep Jiangbei City "losing" in the technology sector for a while.

"Then I wish you all your dreams come true!" Hailin said with a smile as he offered tea.

I originally wanted to talk about the women in my family.

Seeing my son-in-law's lofty aspirations and grand ideals, I felt that talking about such sentimental matters at this time was a bit petty.

He knew that Liu Yifei was pregnant with Jiang Beicheng's child and was now living in the manor. He also knew that several other women had returned to the manor to meet him.

As a father, he must feel a bit awkward, caring for and worried about his daughter.

However, since Haitangxi had been warned early on, she chose to accept it, and he couldn't very well lecture his younger generation like an elder.

The current situation is that if Jiangbei City is doing well, the entire Jiang family will be doing well; and if the Jiang family is doing well, everyone related to the Jiang family will be doing well.

Hailin has this sense of the bigger picture.

My son-in-law is ambitious and has a global perspective; I can't let him hold me back.

As for the material things Jiang Beicheng promised, such as sending Haitangxi a private jet worth six or seven hundred million yuan, etc., they are not as important as the honor of the Jiang family's rise.

Wherever you go, you can walk with your head held high, and others will look at you with more respect.

Of course, the son-in-law has never been stingy when it comes to spending money on his relatives.

This is the last thing you need to consider or worry about.

Jiang Beicheng raised his cup to offer tea and joked, "Uncle Hailin, whether the Jiang family can go down in history depends on you stabilizing the Jiang family's business."

As long as the market doesn't crash, I can charge forward without any worries.

A joke elevated the father-in-law to a very high position.

It can be considered as catering to their preferences.

My father-in-law's core value is to be needed and recognized.

Hearing this, Hailin felt a surge of relief.

I feel like I've become twenty or thirty years younger.

Originally, I planned to let go of Lian Capital after a few years when my son-in-law matured, and return what belonged to him to him in the end.

I feel like I can still work for another 10 or 20 years.

We need to stabilize the Jiang family's overall situation.

"Beicheng, you've really put me on a pedestal. I was thinking of retiring in a few years and taking your aunt on a round-the-world trip." Hailin said with a smile as she sipped her tea.

Global travel—what could be more important than being recognized by a son-in-law worth billions? What could be more exciting and empowering than being the CEO of Lian Capital?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beicheng knew his father-in-law had fallen for his trap. "I know Uncle Hailin's ambitions lie elsewhere."

"Let Auntie go on the round-the-world trip; I'll reimburse her and even provide her with a personal service team."

"Hahaha, fine, let the women do whatever they want, we men should do something worthwhile," Hailin said with a laugh.

The two enjoyed their afternoon tea to the fullest. After Jiang Beicheng left, Hailin made a phone call to her daughter, Haitangxi.

"Xiaoxi, sometimes you can't be too narrow-minded, only focusing on the little things like love and romance. When you have a knot in your heart, you might as well open your heart, broaden your perspective, and look at the big things that the people around you are doing..."

Haitangxi smiled as she listened, "Dad, were you with the baby just now?"

She instantly guessed why her father had said those things.

It seems they've been given another empty promise by Jiangbei City.

Hailin: "I'm afraid you'll get too caught up in your feelings and waste your own time, as well as Beicheng's time."

What Bei Cheng is doing now is something that will be remembered for generations. If successful, he may be the only entrepreneur among us who will be written into the history of the Republic.

Haitangxi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Jiang Beicheng wondered what kind of grand promises he had made to his father to elicit phrases like "to be remembered for all time" and "to be written into history."
That sounds really funny.

Hailin: "Don't laugh. As his bedmate, you don't know him as well as I do. You really need to reflect on that."

Haitangxi couldn't stop smiling; the baby must have brainwashed his father.

My father has been a prominent figure in the workplace for decades, and no one has ever been able to manipulate him.

Unexpectedly, the first one was his son-in-law.

"Why don't you and the baby go over there?" Haitangxi joked.

Hailin sighed, "Alas, how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"

I'm too lazy to talk about it anymore.

As long as my daughter doesn't get emotional with Jiang Beicheng over those romantic feelings, that's fine.

Those whose thinking doesn't reach their level simply cannot comprehend the grand ambitions Jiangbei City is currently planning.

……

Jiang Beicheng didn't go back to the manor for dinner, but instead went to a small, unassuming restaurant with District Chief Gao.

Both are prominent figures in the district, but this is not the first time they have appeared in public. The whole district knows that these two representatives, one from the government and one from the business community, are taking a people-friendly approach.

Ordinary people are used to seeing them on the street.

"Is this considered an early celebration?" Jiang Beicheng joked, raising his wine glass.

"Let's not open the champagne halfway through the event since the documents haven't been released yet."

"It's a done deal; the boss has already recommended it to the higher-ups."

"The boss has spoken?" District Chief Gao asked in surprise.

Although he still holds a certain position in the Jiangnan municipal government, news from higher levels is sometimes not as fast or timely as that from Jiangbei City.

Let alone the top position, even the position of a member of the Standing Committee is two or three levels away from him.

If Jiangbei City's main industries weren't located in the district, and he weren't the person in charge, the two probably wouldn't have become so close.

I, as the district head, am still a little short of being worthy of being the richest man in Jiangnan City.

However, now that the boss has spoken, if I can take another step forward, it can be considered as keeping up with President Jiang's pace of progress.

The two managed to maintain their friendship.

"Didn't General Manager Jiang put in a good word for me in front of the boss?" District Chief Gao asked with a smile, genuinely excited upon hearing this news.

Although his official career was one of integrity and service to the people, it did not conflict with his personal pursuit of advancement.

Jiang Beicheng said, "District Chief Gao's reputation is well-deserved. You are the kind of leader that we businessmen like to partner with the most."

District Chief Gao understood, raised a glass to Jiang Beicheng, and said, "Let's look to the future together."

The two men smiled and bumped into each other, eating stir-fries and chatting about the dockside chamber of commerce's Spring Festival conference the next day.

"I noticed that President Jiang's name isn't on the list of attendees. Is President Jiang unable to make it tomorrow?" District Chief Gao still hoped that his position as chairman would be represented. (End of Chapter)
