Financial freedom starts with smiling at life
Chapter 636: Everywhere You Look, You're Showing Off Your Status
Female celebrities are powerless against jewelry, especially when they see rare gemstones; they really drool over them.
Wearing large carat rough gemstone jewelry in public and facing the media cameras, her vanity of elegance and luxury was satisfied like never before.
Such a large sapphire rough stone jewelry has never appeared on the red carpet in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Even on the world stage, this is a rare occurrence.
High-quality rough diamond rings weighing over ten carats and rough diamond pendants weighing tens of carats always amaze the audience and overshadow everyone else when they appear in the Chinese entertainment industry.
The Sri Lankan sapphire rough in Jiang Beicheng's hand is 165.08 carats!!!
When Yang Mi heard Jiang Beicheng tell Liu Yifei about the size of the rough stone, her jaw dropped in astonishment.
I've never even heard of it, let alone seen it with my own eyes.
I've really broadened my horizons today.
She could already picture Liu Yifei making her comeback with such a large carat gemstone in her mind.
It must be the aura of a "triumphant return," dominating the presence of female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry.
It topped all the trending search lists on various media platforms.
This showcases her prestigious status as the "Queen of the Chinese Entertainment Industry".
Young Master Jiang is too generous.
A staggering 200 million yuan in compensation for lost work time, shares in a cultural media company, and now, a piece of heirloom jewelry…
Which female celebrity who slept with Young Master Jiang wouldn't be envious?
"finished Wash?"
Jiang Beicheng hung up the phone and looked at Yang Mi, asking a question.
He casually tossed the gemstone onto the bedside table, without even closing the box.
Yang Mi: ...
This is taking it way too lightly.
The top-tier gems and jewels that they considered supreme and unattainable were, to Young Master Jiang, like a cigar, casually tossed onto his bedside table.
The value of this gemstone is self-evident.
Is there absolutely no security measure?
Yang Mi nestled back into Jiang Beicheng's arms. "Young Master Jiang, aren't you afraid the jewels will be stolen?"
Jiang Beicheng: "Who stole it? You?"
Yang Mi shook his head: "I dare not, I value my life."
Jiang Beicheng: "Those who value their lives dare not make a move, and those who are desperate cannot get in. What do I have to fear?"
Yang Mi flattered, "I think it's because Young Master Jiang is so wealthy and generous that he doesn't care about these things."
Jiang Beichen chuckled, reached out and ruffled Da Mimi's breasts, teasingly asking, "Where do you think it's thickest?"
Yang Mi laughed and rolled over to hug Jiang Beicheng tightly. "After this is done, can I admire that gemstone?"
Jiang Beichen glanced at the bedside table. "It's right there. Do you expect me to reach out and get it for you?"
"Although I am not qualified to own it, I am very satisfied to be able to hold it in my hands and admire it."
"Prioritize my needs first."
"That's for sure." Yang Mi wiggled her hips, bit her lip lightly, and looked ecstatic.
……
"There really are rough stones this big in the world! It's so rare, this is the first time I've ever seen one." Yang Mi admired the cornflower blue sapphire rough stone, his mouth full of exclamations.
"If we collaborate with Bulgari, given Bulgari's brand power and status in the jewelry industry, this finished sapphire pendant would probably cost several hundred million yuan."
While marveling at it, she imagined herself wearing it, and smiled brightly.
Jiang Beicheng: "Wipe your drool!"
Yang Mi: "Young Master Jiang, please don't interrupt me. Let me have a sweet dream."
She did have a beautiful dream tonight.
When I woke up in the morning, my mind was still filled with that 165.08-carat sapphire.
Young Master Jiang wasn't in bed, but the gemstone was still on the bedside table, and the box was still unopened.
Yang Mi moistened her throat.
greedy!
But I dare not!
You'll die.
I got up, put on my clothes, and went to the living room.
"Awake?" Jiang Beichen, wearing a bathrobe and drinking coffee, pointed to the breakfast on the table. "Have something to eat, tidy up, we'll arrive in Pattaya around afternoon, so we can have dinner at Mr. Xie's house."
Yang Mi nodded and sat down to eat breakfast.
She was very willing to mingle with Jiang Beicheng in high-end social settings.
Although the Xie family holds Thai citizenship, they have a strong presence and influence in China.
On important national occasions, Dhanin Chearavanont was invited to attend, and was even a distinguished guest who went up to the rostrum to watch the ceremony.
Without a doubt, the Xie family is a truly wealthy and powerful family in the Chinese community.
For female celebrities, being part of these top circles is also a symbol of status and prestige.
After breakfast, I tidied myself up a bit.
Jiang Beicheng joked, "It's just going to the Xie family for a meal, but you're acting like you're going to fashion week."
Yang Mi smiled, pursing her lips.
In the eyes of the wealthy, the more exquisite your appearance and attire, the more unsophisticated you may seem.
But there's nothing they can do about it; it's their way of socializing.
If not through dressing up and styling, then through thinking and cognition?
That would be inviting humiliation.
Since Young Master Jiang did not deny it, Yang Mi doesn't need to worry too much.
At least it won't embarrass Young Master Jiang.
Following Jiang Beicheng out the door, we went directly to the airport to take a business jet to Pattaya.
Thirty years ago, Dhanin Chearavanont built a private estate for his mother in Pattaya, which is the famous Golden House in Thailand.
The Golden House is a semi-open tourist attraction most of the time.
Dhanin Chearavanont returned to his estate after stepping down from the limelight; before that, he had been living, working, and residing in Bangkok or the port city.
"Does Young Master Jiang always travel by chartered plane?" Yang Mi asked Jiang Beicheng curiously, sipping the champagne provided by the airline.
What she was really saying was, "Don't you, Mr. Jiang, a wealthy man, own your own private jet?"
Jiang Beicheng didn't answer, but flight attendant Yu Nian spoke up for him, "Mr. Jiang has always been a valued customer of our airline. He has been cooperating with the airline and has ordered two Gulfstream G700s that have not yet been delivered. One of them is expected to be delivered this quarter."
Yang Mi was taken aback.
Two Gulfstream G700s!
More than a billion!
I was worrying unnecessarily.
Jiang Beicheng gave Yu Nian a look, "You've been talking a bit too much today."
Yu Nian bowed her head in apology and then withdrew.
She was happy.
Having spent so much time with Mr. Jiang, I know his personality and character.
Those words, though seemingly critical, were actually an affirmation of her performance today.
As her personal flight attendant, she always has to save face for her boss.
That way, you'll be worthy of the boss's generous year-end bonus every year.
Yang Mi gave an awkward smile, continued sipping his wine, and said no more.
She felt that Jiang Beicheng was saying she had talked too much today.
……
Upon landing in Pattaya, Jiang Beicheng was greeted at the airport entrance by Xie Guomin's Maybach 62s, the same car as Jack Ma. It is the pinnacle of pure Maybach lineage, and the original price of this car was over ten million yuan, making it a symbol of status among the world's wealthy.
Yang Mi had always considered herself one of the more knowledgeable people in the Chinese entertainment industry, but that feeling completely disappeared when she was around Jiang Beicheng. Perhaps it was the difference in thinking brought about by class and social circles; she always felt like she couldn't fit in, and even feared that her social skills were not up to par.
Fortunately, I'm an actor, so I can at least put on a show and not appear too ignorant.
"Mr. Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Dhanin Chearavanont's eldest son, Chearavanont, is also his successor and is currently the chairman of the Charoen Pokphand Group.
Upon meeting Jiang Beicheng, they were warmly greeted and a handshake was exchanged as a gesture of goodwill.
"I'd be grateful if Mr. Xie could make the trip himself," Jiang Beicheng said.
Xie Jiren usually lives and works in Bangkok, so if the two of them wanted to meet, they could just find some time in Bangkok. However, since the Xie family patriarch wanted to host a family banquet for Jiang Beicheng, he had no choice but to fly back from Bangkok as instructed by his father.
Then, on behalf of the Xie family, they personally came to pick up Jiang Beicheng.
After all, he is now the head of the Xie family and represents the Xie family in public.
The Xie family definitely wants to be on good terms with a wealthy and elite Chinese man like Mr. Jiang.
Regarding the incident with the Korean film crew, the Xie family went so far as to close Siam Paradise to provide convenience for Jiang Beicheng, and then remained silent about it, which was actually a gesture of friendship towards Jiang Beicheng.
Of course, this is also a gesture from the Xie family towards the Thai royal family.
Jiang Beicheng introduced Yang Mi, saying, "Yang Mi is filming a movie in Bangkok. She's taking a break these past few days and has come to Pattaya for a vacation."
"It's a pleasure to meet you. Our daughter-in-law is very used to you," Xie Jiren said, shaking hands with Yang Mi.
"Thank you for your recognition." Yang Mi expressed her gratitude to Xie Jiren on behalf of the production team, "I also thank Director Xie on behalf of the production team for the convenience he provided us."
Xie Jiren smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang's friend, the Xie family will definitely take good care of him."
"Please, both of you."
They were invited into the car.
Jiang Beicheng and Xie Jiren were in Xie Guomin's Maybach 62s, while Yang Mi sat in the van behind.
The social status level is immediately apparent.
However, Yang Mi got used to it.
Even if she were offered a seat in the 62s, she wouldn't dare get on.
It's not that the luxury cars worth tens of millions are particularly prestigious, but rather that the people sitting in them are of high status.
The same Maybach and the same Rolls-Royce, but the feeling of sitting in them is different for the wealthy and for celebrities and internet influencers.
Away from the glamour of the entertainment industry, these female celebrities sometimes have less dignity than ordinary women in the eyes of wealthy men.
Subconsciously, they believe you are a "priced" commodity.
As long as it matches your price, you can do anything for a billionaire.
In reality, the difference is not that significant.
Therefore, Yang Mi was very self-aware and did not use that 62s camera, which was actually a way of giving himself some dignity.
Several cars headed directly to the Xie family's Golden House.
"This is my first time visiting the Golden House. What impressed me most was Meteor Garden, which was filmed there," Yang Mi said as she got out of the car to explore.
They didn't forget to praise the Xie family's vision and extravagance.
In reality, she didn't think that the Golden House could compare to the private estate in Jiangbei City.
Although the Golden House is nearly 70 to 80 acres larger than the Jiang Family Manor, it is inferior to the Jiang Family Mansion in terms of artistry, luxury, and other aspects.
I'm just a guest here, so I need to give the host face.
Of course, she also longed to visit the Guanyin statue overlooking the sea in the Golden House.
Everyone knows that there is a pure gold Buddha statue in the Golden House, Guanyin gazing at the sea.
Because it faces the sea, it is enlightened.
Many celebrities in the entertainment industry are Buddhists, and they often come to Thailand to buy amulets to take back with them. Some even engage in more superstitious activities, bringing back things from Thailand...
In terms of normal religious practice, the Jade Buddha in the Royal Temple of the Grand Palace and the Guanyin statue overlooking the sea in the Golden House are objects of fervent worship for believers.
However, these two Buddha statues are too "noble" for ordinary people to worship.
Yang Mi felt very lucky to have filmed a movie at the Grand Palace, where she paid her respects to the Jade Buddha.
Today I'm visiting the Golden House again, and there's a great opportunity to pay homage to the Guanyin of the Sea.
I feel that my life will continue to go smoothly for the rest of my days.
Of course, this is all thanks to Young Master Jiang.
Seeing Yang Mi's keen interest, Xie Jiren offered, "Let's walk inside and I'll show you around."
Yang Mi smiled and nodded.
Follow them inside.
It has a luxurious feel, but it looks bulky.
It's that feeling of piling things up, like deliberately nitpicking over words when writing an article.
It displays wealth, but lacks artistry.
Jiang Beicheng chuckled and sighed, "It's hard to imagine that in those days when people were only rich enough to have 10,000 yuan, Lao Xie could always come up with 300 million yuan in cash to build the Golden House."
The Golden House cost over 1 billion Thai baht, which is equivalent to over 300 million RMB.
Thirty years ago, it was over three hundred million yuan, and it was in cash. It goes without saying how wealthy the Xie family was back then.
The people of Jiangbei were all shocked.
However, looking at it now, the pure gold Guanyin statue overlooking the sea inside the Golden House alone is worth more than 300 million.
Weighing several hundred kilograms, the current price of gold is ridiculously high.
“Grandpa laid a solid foundation for the family business, and under my father’s leadership, the entire family prospered.” Xie Jiren was not modest either. “Mr. Jiang, several of my uncles are here today.”
Jiang Beicheng raised an eyebrow. "They're all here."
"Yes, Father invited them over. My eldest uncle has been living in the Golden House in his old age." Xie Jiren said, "Father said that distinguished guests have arrived, and my uncles have come along as well."
The Xie family has a tradition that whenever a guest is invited to the Golden House, representatives from three or even four generations must attend.
To show respect.
Jiang Beicheng said, "This suddenly makes me nervous."
Dhanin Chearavanont is the youngest of the brothers, already in his eighties, while the others are all over ninety.
Several elderly men came forward at the same time to greet this thirty-year-old young man, and Jiang Beicheng felt that he was "shortening his lifespan" and was a little overwhelmed.
Yang Mi watched Jiang Beicheng and Xie Jiren chatting with admiration.
Wherever Young Master Jiang goes, he receives the highest level of hospitality.
Forced to be full.
She couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction.
"Mr. Jiang, please make yourself at home," Xie Jiren said, extending his hand in invitation.
We entered the villa.
Several elderly men, along with representatives of their descendants, sat in chairs in the living room waiting.
"Father, three uncles, Mr. Jiang has arrived," Xie Jiren informed them first.
Dhanin Chearavanont stood up to greet him.
Upon seeing Jiang Beicheng walk in, he extended his hand and said, "Mr. Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Mr. Xie, I can't accept your kind words of greeting." Jiang Beichen glanced at the other members of the Xie family across three generations. "This is too much of a gift."
Dhanin Chearavanont smiled and said, "It's basic etiquette. Welcome to Thailand."
"Mr. Jiang, welcome."
"Mr. Jiang, I've long admired you."
...Jiang Beicheng first greeted several elders of the Xie family, and then got to know the younger generation of the Xie family.
The younger generation of the Xie family understood that their grandfathers had called them here today to introduce them to Jiang Beicheng.
This elite member of the Chinese business community is very likely to become the soul and leader of the Chinese business community in the future, and the Xie family will have to follow in his footsteps.
Everyone knows that our grandfathers never forgot that they had Chinese blood flowing in their veins; they held deep sentiments for it. (End of Chapter)
