I changed the world.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, it's an honor to serve you. Let me introduce myself. I am Wei Manling, a senior consulting manager from Guanghe Management Consulting Company. My courtesy name is Zihua. You can just call me by my courtesy name, Mr. Zhang. This is my business card."

"Hello Zihua, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please have a seat." Zhang Jing accepted the business card that the other party bowed and handed over with both hands, put it in his pocket, and then invited the other party to sit down on the sofa in the private room.

The woman in front of me was dignified, around forty years old, with exquisite makeup, smart attire, and an upright posture, exuding the demeanor of a workplace elite.

This morning, after completing the ceremony, Zhang Jing called Zhu Huizhen, his bank's dedicated customer service representative, and said that he needed a professional financial consulting firm with global operations to consult on some matters, hoping that she could provide some recommendations.

Ms. Zhu quickly provided several alternative options. After comparing them, Zhang Jing did not choose Southern Financial Consulting Company, which was under Southern Bank and also conducted similar business, which she strongly recommended. Instead, he chose another large global financial consulting company, Guanghe Management Consulting Company. This company is headquartered in the permanently neutral country of Alemanni Federation. Its founder is a Jutland citizen. It has extensive business around the world and also has a branch in Dazhao.

Three hours later, Zhang Jing met Ms. Wei at his private residence.

While Zhang Jing was observing the other man, Wei Manling was also secretly sizing up the young man before her. Unlike most people in the upper echelons of Dazhao society, this Mr. Zhang did not tie his hair up; instead, he casually tied his slightly long hair back. He wore a blue robe, quite popular among the gentry, exquisitely made, and exuded a relaxed and carefree air. What was most striking about Mr. Zhang were his eyes, like black lacquer or a deep pool, revealing a remarkable depth.

Recalling the reminder from Linzhou Bank that this Mr. Zhang was extremely wealthy... and thinking about how his branch's business had been struggling lately, he became even more determined and secretly resolved to make a good impression on Mr. Zhang.

"Zihua, I've called you here today to ask you some questions."

"Please go ahead. Our company has in-depth understanding and experience in business, management, finance, and financial investment. In addition, we will adhere to the principle of keeping our clients' information confidential and will not disclose any part of your consultation to any other place."

"Very good. Well then, I'd like to ask first, if I want to establish a private foundation with a certain philanthropic nature, but I don't want the foundation's finances, investments, and other aspects to be easily accessed or monitored by other individuals or organizations, do you have any good suggestions?"

Wei Manling showed no surprise upon hearing the question. After a moment's thought, she said, "Your question is actually quite common. Many of our company's clients have similar needs."

"I suggest that you choose an international offshore financial center as the place of registration for your foundation. There are several advantages to doing so. First, it meets your requirements. Almost all offshore jurisdictions have explicit regulations that you have the right to keep confidential the relevant financial and operational information of your foundation if you do not wish to disclose it."

Furthermore, companies or funds established in offshore financial centers are tax-exempt, requiring only annual management fees. Finally, another advantage is that almost all major international banks recognize these companies, including those in our Great Zhao.

"If it's an offshore financial center, do I need to set up an office there?" Zhang Jing thought for a moment and then asked.

“We can choose those with more lenient conditions; many offshore financial centers do not require physical office space to be set up locally.”

"Hmm... Your suggestion sounds good." Zhang Jing considered it for a moment. In his memory, there seemed to be quite a few large companies that set up their headquarters in such offshore financial centers. He didn't expect there to be so much inside information here.
