Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 634 Only President Jiang dares to set this precedent!
Jiang Beicheng's courage in going alone to the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone had already greatly shocked Zhao Wei.

The hidden story behind this left Zhao Wei completely dumbfounded.

This overlord of the Golden Triangle not only failed to catch the eye of Jiangbei City, but also acted like a naive rookie, even resorting to intimidation and threats against Mr. Jiang.

Zhao Wei was so shocked by the strength and audacity that he didn't recover for a long time.

He should be grateful that Jiangbei City gave him a way out.

It is estimated that the safety of ordinary citizens was taken into consideration, and they did not want to engage in indiscriminate firing, which would be recognized as "terrorism" by the international community.

That would not only make it difficult for SSG to operate internationally, but also risk jeopardizing Jiangbei City's position within Dongda University.

"President Jiang forgot to take the congratulatory gift with him."

Zhao Wei snapped out of his daze and looked at his own people.

The literal meaning is to send the sapphire to Thailand.

The deeper meaning is that he could consider retiring and relinquishing jurisdiction over the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone.

Jiang Beicheng met Zhao Wei's confidant again at noon on the second day after returning to Bangkok.

Aunt Shen and her bodyguard and driver Cai Jun led her to the hotel room.

"President Jiang, Chairman Zhao asked me to bring this congratulatory gift over. Please accept it." The confidant bowed and presented the gift.

Jiang Beicheng quite liked this 165.08-carat Sri Lankan sapphire rough.

This kind of thing is rare and hard to come by.

Yesterday, after confiscating the goods, I made it clear to Zhao Wei that we were not on the same side and there was no possibility of us being in cahoots.

But today Zhao Wei had the items delivered again, and the meaning behind it was different.

Jiang Beicheng gave Aunt Shen a look, and Aunt Shen accepted it.

"What's Zhao Wei up to this time?" Chen Xingfu, CEO of SSG Military Security Company, picked up his teacup and took a sip, muttering to himself.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Let's make peace."

He instructed his subordinates to make sure I accepted the gift, meaning he wanted to give me some time and he would give me a satisfactory answer.

If I don't accept it today, it means I'm going to war with him.

Chen Xingfu nodded, indicating that he understood.

He suddenly laughed and said, "The Lao central government reacted very strongly this time, and has already concluded that we have tactical ballistic missiles."

Jiang Beicheng: "This time it's a ruse, but next time it might be different."

Tactical ballistic missiles are deadly weapons.

For a country, it is a vital national asset.

SSG, a military security company, currently relies on procurement for its equipment.

It is almost impossible to buy advanced tactical ballistic missiles. For example, the Long Sword series of missiles from the University of Tokyo are now strategic weapons and not for sale. They will only be sold to foreign countries after they are upgraded.

Even if it is sold to the public, it is a stripped-down version.

If SSG wants to establish itself in responsible regions like Africa and the Middle East, and even pose a slight threat to the United States, its procurement is far from sufficient.

However, once the headquarters is located in the Golden Triangle, it will establish its own research and development department.

The annual military expenditure of five or six hundred million US dollars is not enough.

However, with the system in place, Jiang Beicheng didn't specifically consider these issues.

However, this attack on the northern Myanmar industrial park has boosted SSG's international reputation, leading to more orders and a surge in business.

Jiang Beicheng specifically instructed Chen Xingfu that he needed to maintain a neutral attitude when engaging in military security work overseas.

If you personally favor the University of Tokyo and feel that some orders might harm the University of Tokyo's interests, you can choose not to accept the business.

However, once you take on a job, you must first provide excellent service to the employer.

This is the most basic contractual spirit of a military contractor.

Chen Xingfu understood.

Actually, he doesn't need to think about that much.

Simply put, any deal that the leader gets involved in must be considered in the interest of the University of Tokyo.

After all, the leader was wearing the clothes of "Elite of the Dongda Era".

They see things from a different perspective than their subordinates who work themselves to the bone to make money.

I drank tea with Chen Xingfu until the afternoon, then took a short break in Jiangbei City.

After waking up, I went to the Grand Palace to visit the set of Wong Kar-wai's film.

The film crew was shooting at the royal temple in the Grand Palace, a sensitive location. His presence there would make things easier for the crew and ease the tension among the crew members and actors.

Excessive caution and prudence have the opposite effect on the art of film.

……

"Director Wang, President Jiang has come to visit the set."

The crew's general affairs officer came to the filming location to remind Wong Kar-wai.

Wong Kar-wai prepared to get up and greet him.

"Director Wong, please continue." Jiang Beicheng patted Wong Kar-wai on the shoulder, and Wong Kar-wai nodded and sat down again.

Today's scene was between Yang Mi and Zhang Ziyi. Zhang Ziyi immediately showed an attitude of wanting to overpower Yang Mi.

His posture and expression were somewhat strained.

Even Wong Kar-wai could sense that Zhang Ziyi's actions were not merely about distinguishing between the main characters and supporting roles in filming scenes.

They are still showing off their superiority and status.

They moved the filming location to put pressure on Yang Mi, and even if Yang Mi could understand it, she had no choice but to endure it.

Her supporting role was overshadowed by the female lead played by Zhang Ziyi.

He temporarily put aside his competitive spirit and focused his energy on his role.

The unexpected surprise was that the more Zhang Ziyi tried, the more vulnerable Yang Mi's supporting character appeared, cleverly fitting the character's personality.

Director Wang and Jiang Beicheng exchanged a glance and nodded.

Everyone thought Yang Mi's performance in today's scene was quite good.

After filming wrapped, the actors came over to greet Jiang Beicheng and express their respect.

The fact that President Jiang was able to film scenes at the Grand Palace and royal temples shows how much influence he has in Thailand.

Regarding the incident involving the Korean film crew, although the crew did not know the full story, they suspected it was related to President Jiang, and therefore dared not disrespect him.

For them, not taking the initiative to greet President Jiang and using respectful terms would be considered disrespectful.

Yang Mi beamed with joy upon seeing Jiangbei City.

She feigned a hint of shyness.

Jiang Beicheng said, "Your acting skills have improved."

Yang Mi: "It is a great honor to receive Young Master Jiang's recognition."

Zhang Ziyi: "Mr. Jiang..."

Before I could even utter a sound, I immediately put it away.

This title doesn't seem appropriate for her.

Her relationship with Jiang Beicheng hasn't reached that level yet.

She also heard that Fan Dabing had specially traveled from Malaysia to Thailand to offer generous gifts in exchange for Jiang Beicheng's help.

She and Fan Dabing were only two years apart in age. If Fan Dabing's face and body didn't catch President Jiang's eye, she wouldn't dare to hope for anything more.

Although female celebrities like them spend a lot of money on maintaining their bodies and may look a few years younger than ordinary people, in the eyes of a wealthy man like Mr. Jiang, they are nothing more than "old women".

Yang Mi was very lucky; these last two years were her last period of youth, and she seized the opportunity to get into President Jiang's bed.

From now on, everything will go smoothly for them in the entertainment industry.

They're very flamboyant now.

They used Jiang Zemin's name everywhere to build connections and seek personal gain.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit the set," Zhang Ziyi greeted politely.

I dare not say anything more.

They were afraid that flattering Jiang would not win his favor and would backfire.

Being polite and respectful is always a good thing.

Jiang Beicheng reminded him, "You're using too much force. You should tone it down a bit."

Mutual support and achievement are more acceptable to audiences than self-admiration.

"You're both good actors; I'd love to see you two put on a showdown of acting skills."

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected Jiang Beicheng to be able to see through it.

His gaze turned to Wong Kar-wai.

Wong Kar-wai nodded, which could be seen as a reminder to Zhang Ziyi from the perspective of an old friend.

Mr. Jiang understands movies.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Jiang. I will definitely pay attention." Zhang Ziyi humbly accepted the suggestion.

Yang Mi was secretly delighted. She thought that Young Master Jiang was teaching Zhang Ziyi a lesson on her behalf.

It doesn't really matter whether it's true or false.

Yang Mi was used to using psychological manipulation on himself in front of Jiangbei City.

How Jiang Beicheng treated her had nothing to do with what she thought.

"Mr. Jiang, I've arranged dinner. Things will be finished here soon. Shall we have dinner together?" Wong Kar-wai invited.

Jiang Beicheng nodded.

"Young Master Jiang, would you like to come to my carriage for a cup of tea?" Yang Mi invited.

Everyone could understand what she meant.

Female celebrities are particularly sensitive.

They've all basically invited their clients to ride in their RVs.

Jiangbei City followed.

Yang Mi's assistant and team were also very sensible; they pretended to have something to do and left.

They got into the RV and closed the door.

Yang Mi stood right in front of Jiangbei City and took off his clothes, including his underwear.

During filming, the female celebrities usually wear disposable clothing.

It's convenient to change into your own clothes after the photoshoot.

"come over."

Jiang Beicheng slapped his thigh.

"What?" Yang Mi finished taking off her clothes and prepared to take a quick shower, keeping her legs slightly together, pretending to be reserved.

Jiang Beicheng: "Rub a few times."

Yang Mi smiled and strolled over to Jiang Beicheng, sitting on his lap. "How about I go and take a nap first?"

Jiangbei City: "I'll shower at the hotel tonight."

“Well, I have the next two days off. How about I accompany Young Master Jiang on a vacation? Pattaya or Phuket are both fine,” Yang Mi offered.

Jiang Beicheng, having had his fill of playing with Yang Mi, then expressed interest in her, saying, "Okay, let's go to Pattaya."

I was just about to visit the Xie family.

Yang Mi turned around in surprise and asked, "Is it the family of Dhanin Chearavanont, Thailand's richest man?"

"Yes, the father and son have invited me several times."

Yang Mi reacted instantly.

As expected, the matter involving the Korean drama crew was arranged by Jiang Beicheng.

Not only did the Xie family's Siam World business close down that day to cooperate, but they also called Director Wang afterwards to express Xie Jiren's apologies and greetings.

"Young Master Jiang, may I ask you a question..."

"Yes!"

Before Yang Mi could finish speaking, Jiang Beicheng gave a definitive answer.

Yang Mi stared intently at Jiangbei City, asking timidly, "Are they... still... still alive?"

Jiangbei City: "They were buried alive by the industrial park."

Yang Mi was momentarily stunned.

I was scared to death.

His naked body trembled slightly.

Jiang Beichen smiled and said, "Afraid of me?"

Yang Mi cleared her throat. "Young Master Jiang wouldn't persecute his fellow countrymen, would he?"

Jiang Beicheng joked, "That depends on what you did wrong."

Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief. "No, I absolutely did not do anything to betray Young Master Jiang."

Even if there were such a crime, it wouldn't warrant death.

Jiang Beicheng pressed his chest against Yang Mi's back, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gently blew a breeze. Yang Mi shivered and said, "It tickles so much, Young Master Jiang."

The two flirted for a while, exchanging pleasantries in the RV to pass the time.

Jiangbei City isn't so desperate as to run over tires with a female celebrity in a motorhome in the public eye.

Yang Mi quickly washed herself, changed her clothes, and followed Jiang Beicheng back to the hotel.

Let's go to the private room for dinner first.

Wong Kar-wai mentioned that he had made arrangements by phone.

"We'll have another acquaintance coming up later, President Jiang," Wong Kar-wai said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Eric Tsang knocked on the door with a smile and came in to say hello.

"Mr. Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I haven't had the luck to run into you in Hong Kong or the mainland, but I'm so glad to see you in Bangkok today. I've admired you for a long time," Eric Tsang said respectfully.

Jiang Beicheng didn't have a good impression of him.

However, I didn't intend to spoil the atmosphere of the meal.

He smiled and nodded.

"Brother Zhiwei," Yang Mi and the other artists addressed him respectfully.

He holds a certain position in the mainland entertainment industry, and everyone respects him.

It should be said that this is a sign of respect for the older generation of artists in Hong Kong.

After all, Hong Kong's entertainment industry is the teacher of the mainland entertainment industry.

Although things are not the same now, these older generation artists still have a certain influence.

The investors in the Chinese entertainment industry also gave them some face.

“Chi-wai took on a job and just arrived in Bangkok today. I invited him to make a cameo appearance,” Wong Kar-wai explained.

Zhang Ziyi: "Brother Zhiwei is very famous in Thailand."

That's just flattery.

“It’s nothing big. It’s just that Chairman Zhao’s son invited me to celebrate his birthday in the special economic zone in the north.” Eric Tsang didn’t treat the people at the table as outsiders.

Aside from acquaintances, they are all juniors in the entertainment industry.

Only President Jiang was someone I was meeting for the first time.

To his surprise, Jiang Beichen interrupted and asked, "Going to celebrate Zhao Wei's birthday?"

Eric Tsang looked at Jiang Beicheng with a puzzled expression, then nodded.

Jiang Beicheng's tone seemed off.

Jiangbei City: "Can't you make money in Hong Kong and the mainland? Why are you taking on this kind of job?"

Do you know what Zhao Wei does?

The atmosphere in the private room changed slightly.

Zeng Zhiwei stared intently at Jiangbei City, "President Jiang, Zhao Wei is the chairman of the Special Economic Zone..."

I can already feel the wrath of Jiangbei City.

Pretending that you don't know enough.

Quickly give yourself a way out.

“There’s no need to go north. Zhao Wei can’t host this birthday banquet.” Jiang Beicheng said directly, “I just gave him a way out, and he doesn’t want to die.”

Everyone at the table was stunned.

Jiang Beicheng stared at Eric Tsang, "What the rules are in Hong Kong's entertainment industry is your business."

But as a Chinese citizen, you need to understand what you should and shouldn't do!

Eric Tsang didn't dare to respond.

Even Wong Kar-wai didn't dare to act as a peacemaker.

Other artists could only watch helplessly as President Jiang reprimanded the senior figures in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

Everyone knows that the mainland entertainment industry and the Hong Kong entertainment industry are two separate circles. Although the two circles have close ties, it does not mean that each has a say in the other.

The artists on both sides also recognize their respective financial backers and powerful figures.

It's basically a state of mutual respect and win-win cooperation.

Only Jiang Zemin stepped forward and set this precedent.

His behavior of reprimanding Hong Kong artists as the emperor of the Chinese entertainment industry.

Eric Tsang didn't dare to respond because he was aware of Jiangbei City's influence in the Greater Bay Area and its friendship with many wealthy businessmen and tycoons in Hong Kong.

Dr. Yang of the Emperor Group still has some influence. To put it simply, he invited Jiang Beicheng to banquets many times, but Jiang Beicheng refused each time.

The artists dared not act recklessly in front of him.

In addition, what shocked Eric Tsang and Wong Kar-wai even more was that Jiang Beicheng said, "He gave Zhao Wei a way out!"
