Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Miao Zhi went to Chengdu yesterday on behalf of the Wharf Chamber of Commerce and almost got into trouble with Yu Tianqi.

I'm still a bit shaken.

I took a bath and rested as soon as I got home last night, without paying attention to the news in Chengdu.

If it weren't for the unusual behavior of the chamber of commerce members today, and the video call with Master Wei, she wouldn't have known that Yu Tianqi was dead.

suicide!

He got involved with chemical products, lost his mind, and jumped off the building!

This way of dying seems logical on the surface, but it becomes somewhat comical when it happens to Yu Tianqi.

Everyone knows that this "Godfather of Chengdu Entertainment" started his business in the chemical industry.

Moreover, he has a particularly arrogant and insidious personality.

If he wanted to die, he wouldn't be alive now.

As he said yesterday, the things he did in the past were enough to kill him several times over.

Ironically, it was precisely at the time when he returned from his trip to Chengdu that Yu Tianqi committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Nobody would believe it was a coincidence.

It must be Jiang Xiaoye's doing.

However, Jiang Xiaoye has a high status and strong social influence, so he won't openly deal with Yu Tianqi.

There are likely even greater forces behind this, and the scope of involvement is too broad.

If Yu Tianqi doesn't disappear, a major upheaval may occur in Chengdu's political and business circles.

It is estimated that under pressure from multiple forces, Yu Tianqi had nowhere to turn and ultimately committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Thinking of this, Miao Zhi's body trembled involuntarily.

The tremor arc is very large.

Even the two large thunderbolts bounced a few times.

Jiang Xiaoye solved Yu Tianqi's problem without even realizing it.

The methods used were terrifying.

Originally, it was thought that the Beicheng Brothers were just giving a warning to the Rongcheng social forces led by Yu Tianqi, but they didn't expect that his statement "it's all arranged" would lead to this result.

I imagine things have already exploded in Chengdu.

Miao Zhi cleared her throat, came back to her senses, and faced Master Wei, "Thank you for your help yesterday, Master Wei."

Although Master Wei didn't play a significant role, he at least took her safety seriously and made a special trip to Philadelphia to visit Yu Tianqi's eldest son.

Master Wei said calmly, "You no longer need me as your backer."

Miao Zhi immediately perked up and said nervously, "Master Wei, my brother Bei Cheng and I are innocent."

She thought that Master Wei was referring to her relationship with Young Master Jiang.

Both of them are indeed innocent.

“I have never questioned Brother Beicheng’s character; you’re overthinking it,” Master Wei said frankly. “Your trip to Chengdu has already spread throughout several social circles in neighboring provinces.”

Everyone recognizes your abilities as the executive vice president of the dockside chamber of commerce.

Miao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

What Master Wei said seemed to be true; today, when she came to the Chamber of Commerce, everyone respectfully called her "Sister Miao."

The fact that the Beicheng brothers arranged this play greatly enhanced her prestige.

Master Wei continued, "Having followed me for so many years, I know you've always wanted to separate from the family."

The time wasn't right before, but now it's time to divide the family property.

I promised you that all my assets in China would be left to you.

You've achieved financial freedom.

Miao Zhi asked in surprise, "Does Master Wei want to divorce me?"

I feel a little strange.

Expectations outweigh disappointments.

This kind of widowhood is truly unbearable.

It turns out that she dutifully stayed with Master Wei until his death, and Master Wei left all his assets in China to her.

The cash from the US was left to his son.

This promise has now been made ahead of schedule.

Mr. Wei still operates several hundred taxis in China, leases two commercial airliners to Hainan Airlines for rent, and has some joint investments in catering and entertainment businesses, as well as villas and luxury cars under his name, etc.

That adds up to two or three billion.

For ordinary people, this is an astronomical figure.

Of course, compared to the billion-dollar fortune of the local tyrant of Jiangnan City at his peak, it's far from enough.

The amount of cash transferred out alone is several billion.

However, having spent all these years with the old man and given him a son, the rewards I've received are substantial.

Even if Mr. Wei didn't say it himself, if the marriage really became unsustainable and they reached the point of divorce, the assets would still be divided according to the law.

It's just that Mr. Wei said it in a way that fulfilled his promise, so that both sides could save face.

Another issue is that some money is inconvenient to divide through divorce proceedings.

Master Wei smiled and said, "Only after I've settled your affairs for the rest of your life will I truly be able to retire from the underworld."

These words made Miao Zhi's heart tremble.

Although she followed Master Wei for money and prestige, Master Wei had indeed been very kind to her over the years.

Master Wei instructed, "If you want to run your business in China well, learn more from the brothers in Beicheng. If you find it troublesome, just cash out. I only have one requirement: when you sell, give priority to the brothers who used to work for me."

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Wei," Miao Zhi replied. "Thank you for your understanding."

Master Wei smiled and said, "There's no need to be so polite since we're family. With our son as our blood relative, we're still family."

If you encounter any problems you can't handle in the future, just ask. But I don't think you need this old man's help anymore.

Young Master Jiang has an even bigger backer.

Miao Zhi smiled.

She no longer deliberately avoided the issue; she genuinely admired Young Master Jiang.

Master Wei probably figured it out a long time ago.

However, Young Master Jiang is not the type to do anything to betray Master Wei.

Otherwise, she would have become Young Master Jiang's bedmate long ago.

Even if Master Wei lets her go now and she becomes a free woman, it doesn't necessarily mean she'll get into Young Master Jiang's bed.

This means that as her sister-in-law, she won't have to worry so much about how she gets along with the Beicheng brothers in the future.

It's always a good thing to get closer to the brothers in Beicheng.

He is indeed his current backer in China.

Of course, she now hopes to take over Wei Ye's mantle, manage the domestic business well, establish herself as a "female entrepreneur," and truly gain a foothold in the business world.

Jiang Beicheng also received a call from Master Wei.

When he told me he wanted to divorce Miaozhi, I wasn't too surprised; I even wanted to laugh.

The shortcut of using seedlings has gone too smoothly.

In her thirties, she transformed from the wife of a "big brother" into a female boss worth billions.

It's the dream of countless ordinary girls.

"Master Wei values ​​relationships and expresses his respect to you," Jiang Beicheng said with a smile.

Master Wei: "Brothers in Beicheng, from now on, I will no longer interfere in anything in Jiangnan City."

I hope you and your brothers will have an increasingly successful future.

Also, take good care of your sister-in-law, no, Sister Miao.

Two very humorous sentences.

This self-made hero has truly exited the stage of history.

Jiang Beicheng said, "Master Wei, as long as the brothers follow my rules, things won't go too badly."

Those who don't follow the rules will be eliminated by the times, even if I turn a blind eye.

Master Wei should understand this all too well.

"Brother Beicheng is right. Let those brothers who don't want to join us have their own good fortune."

"I believe you can handle the role of leader well." Mr. Wei smiled and hung up the video call. ...

This time, Jiang Beicheng has to go in person.

Personally, it's about giving Mr. Jiang from Jiangbei City face.

Now that the authorities have stepped in, social figures like Yu Tianqi can no longer be brought to the forefront.

Self-organized groups lack appeal.

Chengdu also needs a prominent business figure to step forward and coordinate this matter, like Mr. Ruan from Kunming and Mr. Dai from Lincheng. It must be a legitimate figure.

No sooner had the authorities stepped forward than Liu Yonghao, the founder and chairman of Xingxiwang Group, volunteered to lead the social forces in Chengdu.

The prestige of the Liu family in Chengdu is self-evident.

No one in Chengdu's social circles expected that the head of a family with assets worth hundreds of billions would step forward to organize and lead them, and find a way out for them.

It seems that the two billionaire leaders of Chuncheng and Lincheng are no longer so dazzling.

However, Jiang Xiaoye from Jiangnan City is still the most authoritative voice in this circle.

No one wants to follow in Yu Tianqi's footsteps.

Some people even think that Liu Yonghao's proactive response is related to Jiang Xiaoye.

He was indeed responding on behalf of the Chengdu business community out of respect for Jiangbei City.

Of course, he also carefully analyzed the model of the dock chamber of commerce, and the benefits it brought to small and medium-sized enterprises and individual chambers of commerce were obvious.

Let's just consider it fulfilling the responsibilities of an entrepreneur.

We cordially invite Jiang Beicheng to visit Chengdu and learn from his experience.

Jiangbei City cannot bear the weight of Liu Yonghao's "study".

The Liu brothers were among the first to get rich in the western region. They have been in the business world for decades and are still standing strong. I, as their junior, should learn from them.

Jiang Beicheng still owes Liu Yong a favor because of what happened at the farm in his hometown.

His brother Liu Yongxing's Dongfang Xingwang Group wanted to build a breeding farm in Yunqi Mountain, which caused a great uproar among the Jiang family ancestral hall and several villages.

In the end, Jiangbei City offered a dignified way out.

Through Liu Yonghao, he persuaded his brother Liu Yongxing to abandon the proposed site of Yunqi Mountain.

"Aunt Shen, make arrangements for our trip to Chengdu on Wednesday," Jiang Beicheng instructed.

Shen Jun nodded in response and reported on another matter, "President Jiang, the Thai princess recently visited China, and her itinerary included a visit to Jiangnan City to learn about the new energy industry. Wanli Technology is a key company that the Thai delegation is visiting to learn from."

"Do you need to show your face?"

Jiang Beicheng understood what Aunt Shen meant. The Thai royal family was pushing forward with the construction of the global headquarters of SSG Military Security Company, and the royal family was giving it tremendous support.

The Thai princess is visiting China and is coming to Jiangnan City for a study tour. As the host, I should personally receive her.

To outsiders, the term "Thai princess" is not used in a narrow sense, but specifically refers to the daughters of King Rama X.

His sister is the most influential person internationally.

Despite being over seventy years old, he still holds a very high position and influence in Thai politics and society.

He spent most of his time representing his brother, King Rama X, in diplomatic work.

I was originally invited to visit the Bangkok Dynasty, but I guess I'll have to wait until the preliminary work for SSG is finalized before I can go to Jiangbei City.

Now that the princess has come to Jiangnan City as a guest, we must certainly do our best to be a good host.

"Let's coordinate with the city first. We don't want to disrupt their reception efforts," Jiang Beicheng instructed.

"Okay, I'll communicate with the Municipal Party Committee Office in a bit." Shen Jun responded and went to do his work.

I glanced at the time and prepared to return to the manor for dinner.

He sent a message to the helicopter pilot, telling him to leave the Wanhua mansion, go to the helipad, board the helicopter, and head directly back to his suburban estate.

"Mr. Jiang, dinner is ready."

The butler, along with the servants, went to the manor's helipad to greet them.

Jiang Beicheng took the towel and wiped his hands. "Is Miss Liu home?"

"Miss Liu is in the music room," the butler said.

Jiang Beicheng nodded, wiped his hands, handed the towel to the maid, and went directly to the music room.

"Has Sisi started prenatal education ahead of schedule?"

Liu Yifei put down the book in her hand, turned her head to look at Jiang Beicheng, and smiled.

Jiang Beichen sat down and put his arm around her waist. She kissed Jiang Beichen first.

A gift for returning home.

"To kill time."

"Complaining that I don't spend enough time with you?" Jiang Beichen joked.

"Beibei, you're setting a trap for me again."

"Hahahaha." Jiang Beichen laughed and said, "Once the fetus is stable in the second trimester, go out more often and relax."

"Uh-huh."

"Let's eat first. After we finish eating, I'll take you for a walk at the horse farm," Jiang Beichen said, helping her to her feet.

I still need to come back occasionally to spend time with my wife and children.

A woman's fussiness sometimes can't be solved by abundant material conditions, especially for pregnant women.

Having both, having more, and having more—that's the bare minimum requirement.

Everything and everyone has to revolve around her.

Liu Yifei is a fairly sensible woman.

She is sensible and understanding, so Jiangbei City will naturally provide her with corresponding care and companionship.

……

On Wednesday morning, Jiang Beicheng took his official helicopter to visit Chengdu.

Liu Yonghao now lives in a luxury villa in the Qingshuihe Park villa area within the Second Ring Road.

Only after confirming that he could land there did they apply for a flight route and take a government helicopter to get there.

It's much more convenient than driving.

As the Agusta, worth over 100 million yuan, slowly landed over the Second Ring Road of Chengdu, it attracted the attention of countless citizens.

These types of official helicopters are rare in western cities.

Most of them are domestically produced small aircraft and rescue aircraft, and their take-off and landing sites are office buildings or hotel rooftops.

Even the wealthy residents living near Qingshuihe Park looked up when they heard the noise.

You can tell at a glance what kind of person this guest is today.

It's common knowledge that wealthy people in Chengdu own private jets.

Convenient for travel and work.

However, it is indeed rare to see a wealthy person spending hundreds of millions to buy a private business helicopter.

This kind of thing is entirely a matter of personal preference and isn't very practical.

The Agusta in Jiangbei City hovered above Qingshuihe Park on the Second Ring Road and slowly descended.

Finally, it landed on the lawn in the park. Liu Yonghao's villa didn't have a place for him to park the helicopter unless all the valuable trees were cut down.

However, finding a place to park the helicopter for Jiang Beicheng was just a matter of his secretary making a phone call.

The person who came to pick up Jiang Beicheng was Liu Yonghao's daughter.

"President Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Liu Chang was addressed politely.

Jiang Beichen shook hands with her and joked, "Does President Liu think I'm overdoing it and doesn't want to show up?"

The Liu brothers are relatively low-key.

Liu Chang smiled and said, "President Jiang, you've misunderstood. Uncle Wang is at home having tea with Dad."

So let me come and greet you.

Jiang Beicheng guessed, "Wang Jianlin?"

“Yes, Mr. Jiang, Uncle Wang has been in Chengdu recently,” Liu Chang said.

Chengdu is considered the Wang family's ancestral home.

Sicong often lives here, as Jiangbei City knows, while Jianlin comes less often and stays even less frequently.

Is this a time to rest after being overwhelmed by debt? (End of Chapter)
