Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

The Grand Palace in Thailand.

Has Mr. Jiang arrived in Thailand?

King Rama X asked the princess in an urgent tone.

The princess has always been the one who communicates directly with Jiang Beicheng on the royal side, and she personally handles the reception arrangements.

After seeing the White House's attitude towards Jiangbei City, King Rama X became even more eager to meet this Asian elite.

The initial decision to cooperate with Jiangbei City was based on the value of Jiangbei City's military security capabilities. The hope was that SSG Military Security Company could replace the royal family and the government in maintaining stability along the Golden Triangle border.

However, the huge moves Jiang Beicheng has made in the technology industry recently have shocked his Asian counterparts. Rama X realized that Mr. Jiang is a friend of the royal family and that the royal family should make better arrangements as soon as possible.

Although Thailand's technology is lagging behind, the royal family is rich.

As long as Jiangbei City is willing to cooperate, the royal family's assets can also be managed by Jiangbei City's private equity fund.

Thailand also wants to enjoy the convenience brought by cutting-edge technology.

At least in a few countries on the southeastern peninsula, we need to hold our heads high.

King Rama X began urging his sister, the Thai princess, to contact Jiangbei City as soon as possible and invite him to the Grand Palace.

High-level reception.

The princess said, "Your Majesty, President Jiang's secretary just spoke to me on the phone."

They are in Bangkok, and I have already informed the mayor of Bangkok to receive them.

I took President Jiang on a tour of our beautiful capital city.

I will find an appropriate time to personally go to his hotel to welcome him to the Grand Palace.

King Rama X nodded, “Have the Bangkok municipal government closely monitor Mr. Jiang’s activities in Bangkok and serve our royal friend well.”

Mr. Jiang's safety must be taken very seriously, even by the Royal Family...

Just as they were about to send the troops stationed at the royal palace to protect Jiangbei City, the princess smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we do not need to worry about Mr. Jiang's personal safety."

He didn't reveal his exact whereabouts in Thailand, but I guess he needs some personal space, and sending troops there would be too conspicuous.

Besides, President Jiang has no shortage of security personnel.

King Rama X almost forgot about SSG.

In the past few days, I've been drawn to Jiangbei City's achievements in cutting-edge technology industries such as AI and chips.

The fact that a young entrepreneur could gain the White House's attention and engage in a dialogue with Trump remotely is enough to prove how capable he is.

“When we received Mr. Jiang, all members of the royal family participated, especially our descendants. It was a very good learning opportunity,” said Rama X.

“I will inform them, Your Majesty,” the princess replied.

……

"President Jiang, this is the itinerary for tomorrow's tour of Bangkok. Mayor Duripitsu and the head of the Teochew Association will be accompanying you..."

Shen Jun reported to Jiangbei City.

When Jiang Beicheng arrived, he did not directly contact the royal family, leaving himself some free time.

After resting and recovering in Pattaya for the past few days, I returned to Bangkok and asked Aunt Shen to contact the Thai princess.

To deal with the upcoming social engagements that require staying indoors.

Jiang Beicheng glanced at it and nodded.

It means we should do as arranged by the municipal government.

The current mayor of Bangkok was the finance minister in the previous government, and he still enjoys a high level of respect from the royal family.

He would certainly accompany important guests of the royal family.

The Teochew Association is a very important non-governmental organization in Thailand, especially in Bangkok. With a history of nearly 100 years, it is one of the largest and most influential local Chinese communities in Thailand, and also the core organization of Teochew people worldwide.

The management of Bangkok's Chinatown adopts a joint management model between the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Teochew Association.

Many regions abroad use this management model that combines government and non-governmental organizations, which better manages Chinatowns while respecting Chinese culture.

Jiangbei City enjoys a great reputation in the Chaoshan region, and is highly respected by Chaoshan businessmen for both its social standing and its business reputation.

Upon learning that Jiang Beicheng was visiting Bangkok, Xu Huishen, chairman of the Teochew Association of Thailand, immediately went to the Bangkok Metropolitan Government and requested to meet with Jiang Beicheng together with the mayor.

For Jiang Beicheng, it simply meant having one more person by his side.

He didn't care.

After Shen Jun finished reporting the itinerary for Bangkok tomorrow, he reported to Jiang Beicheng: "President Jiang, an acquaintance has come and wants to meet with you."

I flew in specifically from Malaysia and have been in Bangkok for a few days now, awaiting your response.

Jiang Beicheng frowned: "Friends from Malaysia?"

I don't have much of an impression of it.

"Fan Dabing, I've been filming in Malaysia recently and came to Bangkok specifically to visit you," Shen Jun said frankly. "I've also prepared a generous gift for you."

During your vacation in Pattaya, I declined her offers several times.

“Being too persistent isn’t a good thing, because persistence doesn’t necessarily get you what you want.” Jiang Beichen smiled. “Let’s meet. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this Eastern face.”

It's hard to find a replacement for her in the current Chinese entertainment industry. I'm also curious what this "big gift" you mentioned is.

He could basically guess why Fan Dabing was so eager to see him.

That's why it's said that her persistence may not necessarily bring her the rewards she wants.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Shen Jun nodded and went to make the arrangements.

……

"Sister, good news! President Jiang is willing to see you."

Fan Dabing's personal assistant rushed into his suite to inform him.

Fan Dabing's eyes brightened instantly; making a living abroad these past few years had been too difficult.

Although I've done quite well in self-media and micro-business, the money can't compare to the glory I had in the Chinese entertainment industry.

What a glory.

She has been trying various methods to gain exposure in the Chinese entertainment industry, but without making any waves.

The domestic entertainment capital and major platforms are all watching the attitude of the higher authorities. If the higher authorities don't give in, her face won't be able to return to the domestic entertainment industry.

Right now, the only person capable of bringing her back to the Chinese entertainment industry is Jiang Beicheng, the "Emperor of the Chinese Entertainment Industry."

Putting everything else aside, with his support, Liu Yifei has now become the biggest asset in the Chinese entertainment industry.

President Jiang has a wide range of businesses and extensive connections.

Especially his connections in Beijing; you can't find another sugar daddy in the entertainment industry.

President Jiang also made remarkable achievements in the major national strategies.

If he were willing to speak up for them, the leaders might consider this factor and be more lenient.

This is Fan Dabing's last gamble.

Before meeting Jiang Beicheng, she inquired about his preferences through friends in China.

I obtained a very useful piece of information from female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry.

It's that saying, "You can say President Jiang is a womanizer, but you can't say President Jiang is a bad person."

Fan Dabing decided to take a gamble with his 45-year-old face and body.

I feel that I've taken good care of myself.

The key is her face and her temperament; you can't find another like her in the Chinese entertainment industry right now.

If President Jiang finds something new and interesting, this deal might actually go through.

The common tactics female celebrities use to rise to fame are as easy for her as eating a meal.

Of course, one should also leave a way out. If President Jiang is not interested in her personally, one should at least show some attitude and prepare a generous gift.

While filming in Malaysia, he purchased a Ming Chenghua blue and white porcelain bowl with a gardenia painting for 2850 million yuan at the recently concluded Rothschild Port City auction through online channels, and presented it to President Jiang as a gift.

She got a great deal on this blue and white porcelain bowl.

I never expected to win the bid for less than 30 million.

Before filming began, the external valuation was between 4000 million and 8000 million.

She actually had half a small goal in mind when she went to photograph this bowl.

To be honest, I feel a little sorry for them. After all, making money isn't as easy as it used to be.

But when I thought about my path back to the Chinese entertainment industry, I gritted my teeth and went ahead with it.

If President Jiang agrees to let her go back, even a few endorsements would be worth more than half a small goal.

She felt that she still had a fan base in the Chinese entertainment industry.

After receiving Shen Jun's notification, Fan Dabing specially found a stylist from China to come over, preparing to meet President Jiang with the best makeup and mental state.

……

When Jiang Beicheng saw Fan Dabing, he was neither shocked nor delighted; instead, he shook his head and smiled.

"That's too much."

It's like going to an international fashion week.

Fan Dabing gave an awkward smile. Jiang Beicheng's words made her feel that he was mocking her for being incredibly unsophisticated.

"President Jiang, I apologize for being presumptuous."

Quickly admit your mistake.

President Jiang is a man of great experience; your approach is indeed presumptuous in his eyes.

Actually, I was playing a psychological game, just in case President Jiang had a sudden inspiration.

After all, female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry all say he is "womanizing".

The result was somewhat unexpected.

Jiang Beichen glanced at her high-slit dress and fleshy thighs and commented, "It seems that the sexy path is no longer suitable for you."

However, your face is still quite distinctive.

Fan Dabing was extremely embarrassed.

Back in the day, in the Chinese entertainment industry, who dared to compete with her in terms of "sexiness"?

Even now, President Jiang still thinks she's unsophisticated, or that he thinks she's too old.

Based on those two comments upon entering, Fan Dabing lost more than half of his confidence.

A woman's most effective weapon is no longer needed.

"Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Jiang."

"sit!"

"President Jiang, I understand that you have a deep understanding of blue and white porcelain, so..."

Feigning shyness, he presented the blue-and-white porcelain bowl to Jiang Beicheng, saying, "In your industry jargon, please have Mr. Jiang take a look."

"So you bought this bowl." Jiang Beicheng said admiringly, "It's a Ming Chenghua blue and white gardenia palace bowl, a court porcelain bowl fired in the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln. The body is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the glaze is as smooth as piled fat. The two symmetrical gardenia branches and leaves are stretched out, and the flowers are full. The double-outline and color-filling technique used has reached the pinnacle of skill..."

It holds a supreme position in the history of ceramics and is a coveted treasure for collectors throughout the ages.

"President Jiang is indeed an expert. I've learned a lot. Perhaps only you can truly appreciate the tranquility and elegance it brings across time," Fan Dabing added.

"Your writing is quite good."

"President Jiang, you flatter me." Fan Dabing assumed that President Jiang would accept the bowl, and judging from his expression, he seemed to really like it.

But Jiang Beicheng's next move silenced her.

Jiang Beicheng put the blue-and-white porcelain bowl back into the box untouched and pushed it in front of Fan Dabing.

The meaning of this action is quite obvious.

"Don't you understand yet?" Jiang Beicheng asked Fan Dabing. "Since I am so familiar with this blue and white porcelain bowl, and it is a piece of blue and white porcelain being auctioned publicly, guess why I didn't participate in the bidding?"

Because I'm reluctant to spend money?

Fan Dabing's eyes widened instantly.

Half of my soul is gone.

This wasn't just offensive; it was downright insulting.

Is President Jiang someone who is short of money?
For items worth twenty or thirty million, he didn't even need to ask; his secretary would handle it directly.

The fact that he didn't take a picture only shows that he wasn't interested in the blue and white porcelain bowl.

"President Jiang, I...I...it was my oversight, you..."

Fan Dabing said nervously.

He started stuttering.

Jiang Beicheng smiled faintly, "It's not your fault. You artists are all the same. You suffer from a lack of education and love to act smart."

Fan Dabing didn't dare to respond.

She genuinely felt that this kind of gift was extremely valuable in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Beicheng continued, "Ten years ago, this bowl was auctioned in Hong Kong and sold for 5280 million."

Now, the price you paid for it was 2850 million. Do you understand what I mean?

This bowl belongs only to someone destined to have it. You bought it, which means you two are connected. Cherish it.

Fan Dabing bit his lip, feeling utterly stupid.

She treats items that other collectors unanimously deem worthless as treasures, thinking she's struck gold.

The stupidest thing is that they even used it to give to President Jiang.

"You want to go back to the domestic entertainment industry?" Jiang Beicheng asked, tilting his head.

Fan Dabing looked up instantly, thinking he had seen the light again, and said firmly, "If President Jiang is willing to help me, I will accept any conditions."

"Besides you, the emperor of the Chinese entertainment industry, no one can help me."

It sounded like he was pleading desperately.

He was extremely agitated.

They couldn't wait to grovel before Jiangbei City.

“He’s just an artist, why would the higher-ups give me that kind of face?” Jiang Beicheng said.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang!"

Fan Dabing prepared to kneel before Jiang Beicheng.

Aunt Shen stepped forward and grabbed Fan Dabing. Jiang Beicheng looked at Fan Dabing and said, "Don't rush to thank me. First, think about whether you are worth me using this face for?"

Fan Dabing was stunned.

Is she, a female artist, and a problematic one at that, worth Jiang Zong, an elite of our time, damaging her own image?

Jiang Beicheng stood up and said, "You must have heard them talk about me, right?"
Is being lustful not a bad thing?

He shook his head and smiled. "You only grasped the meaning of 'lust,' but didn't try to grasp the meaning of 'not being evil'?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang," Fan Dabing said in a deep voice, bowing his head.

Before leaving, Jiang Beicheng left a message: "I decided to see you today not because of your persistence in waiting for me in Bangkok, but to tell all the problematic artists to stop humiliating themselves."

"Coming to see me is tantamount to desecrating your own corpse."

They left the private room.

The bowls and chopsticks on the table haven't even been touched yet.

Before leaving, Aunt Shen reminded her, "Don't pry into President Jiang's affairs."

Fan Dabing stared at Secretary Shen in astonishment.

It turns out that Jiang knew about all the connections I had made to find out about his interests and hobbies.

As soon as Shen Jun stepped out of the private room, Fan Dabing slapped himself across the face.

Today, it's a complete cognitive crushing victory.

It seems that the path back to the domestic entertainment industry is completely blocked.

……

Fan Dabing's matter had no effect on Jiang Beicheng's mood. The next morning, he started his day's schedule as usual, following the arrangements made by the Bangkok Metropolitan Government.

The story of Fan Dabing kneeling and begging him spread throughout the Chinese entertainment industry, and all the artists became much more cautious. President Jiang's stance on dealing with problematic artists was consistent with that of the higher-ups.

This incident served as a wake-up call for the Chinese entertainment industry. (End of Chapter)
