Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

The VIP reception room of the Longze branch of ICBC in Beijing.

Only about an hour had passed since Jiang Tao swiftly and decisively confirmed the transfer of 50 million RMB.

The heavy solid wood door was gently pushed open.

Vice President Ren Jianjun personally led the way, followed by Fang Qi and two other male staff members wearing bank uniforms and white gloves.

Two male employees each pushed a flatbed cart that looked simple but gave off a high-end feel.

The cart was neatly stacked with gleaming gold bars!
The cart came to a stop on the Persian carpet in front of Jiang Tao.

This location is right below the room's main light.

The gold bars on the cart reflected the light, emitting a mesmerizing, hazy glow.

It has a restrained yet incredibly domineering metallic luster.

The air in the entire VIP reception room seemed to reek of money.

Even Ren Jianjun and Fang Qi, who were used to seeing gold bars, couldn't help but show envy in their eyes when they saw this scene.

The visual impact of this scene is incredible!

This is gold worth 5000 million!
A full 56 kilograms of gold was cast into standard bank investment gold bars – real gold!
Each gold bar is like a heavy little brick, with sharp edges and corners, and the bank's logo, purity (AU99.99), and weight are engraved on the surface.

They were neatly stacked together, forming a small golden mountain that, while not huge, was enough to shake the average person's understanding of wealth for a lifetime!

Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the world's population will never see such a scene in their lifetime.

"Mr. Jiang, all the gold bars, totaling 56 kilograms, are here. Please check them."

Ren Jianjun wore a warm yet respectful smile, his tone carrying a hint of relief after completing an important task.

The fact that he was able to mobilize such a large amount of physical gold in such a short time also demonstrates his and this branch's capabilities.

"Xiao Qi, have you checked?"

As Jiang Tao spoke, he got up and walked to the cart, reached out and took one off, weighing it in his hand.

This is an extra-large gold bar weighing 1000 grams.

Based on today's prices, the price is around 89.

Ordinary people would never even see such a large gold bar, let alone buy it.

The weight of the gold bar in my hand was far greater than I had imagined. The cool touch penetrated my skin, but within that coolness, it seemed to contain a temperature that could make my blood boil.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, I checked, and the quantity matches the quantity on the contract we just signed."

Fang Qi looked at her cousin-in-law's extravagant gesture with a sense of awe, but more than that, she felt a sense of pride and joy.

"Then there's no problem. Thank you all for your hard work."

After saying that, Jiang Tao casually put the gold bars back on the cart.

He still trusted Fang Qi; he was at ease with her handling things.

Ren Jianjun, seizing the opportunity, smiled and handed over a document and a small metal key:

"Mr. Jiang, you are one of our bank's most valued clients. To express our sincerity, our branch has specially prepared a large safe deposit box for you located in the vault area of ​​our head office, offering you lifetime free access. You can deposit or withdraw this gold at any time, and its safety is absolutely guaranteed."

This is undoubtedly a very valuable additional service, saving Jiang Tao the trouble of finding a safe storage location himself.

"Then I'll trouble Ren Xing to deposit all this gold into the vault for me now."

Jiang Tao smiled and readily accepted Ren Jianjun's kindness, appreciating his favor.

"Hehe, no trouble at all, no trouble at all. How can this be considered trouble? I'd love for President Jiang to trouble me more in the future."

Ren Jianjun laughed heartily, turned around and instructed the two staff members beside him:
"Xiao He, Xiao Song, pack these gold bars up."

The staff immediately and skillfully repacked all the gold bars into boxes.

Subsequently, accompanied by Ren Jianjun and two staff members, Jiang Tao transported the priceless gold through a special passage to the more secure core vault area and stored it in a dedicated large safe.

By the time everyone had finished depositing their gold and emerged from the vault area, it was already 11:24 AM.

"It's rare for Mr. Jiang to come all this way, and he's already taking such good care of our business. You can choose any place for lunch today; it'll be on me."

Ren Jianjun warmly invited Jiang Tao to lunch, his words sincere.

He naturally hoped to further deepen his relationship with Jiang Tao and strengthen their connection.

"Ren Xing, you're too kind. However, I have other plans today and I'm a bit short on time. Let's reschedule the dinner for another day, and I'll treat you then."

Jiang Tao wasn't intentionally trying to fob off Ren Jianjun; he had just returned to Beijing and genuinely had many things to take care of.

This morning, besides coming to ICBC to buy gold, he also made an appointment with Zhang Bo to sell goods at his place.

"Since Mr. Jiang is busy with business, let's reschedule for another day. I promised to treat you, so I must treat you. We'll owe you this meal for now."

Ren Jianjun still had that same smiling face, showing no anger at all because Jiang Tao refused to have lunch today, nor did he feel embarrassed or anything like that.

He had an exceptionally good temper when dealing with a major client like Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao looked at Fang Qi, smiled, and waved goodbye:

"Xiao Qi, I'll be going now. Come visit your sister anytime you have time."

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law! Definitely! Definitely!"

Fang Qi nodded eagerly, her face beaming with excitement.

After a few more casual words, Ren Jianjun and Fang Qi saw Jiang Tao off at the door and watched him get into the Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked by the roadside.

"Old Jia, go to Panjiayuan and find Zhang Bo."

After Jiang Tao got on the bus, he gave Lao Jia a direct instruction, then leaned back in his seat and started chatting with He Jing and Yuan Mengqi.

Jia Guilin drove his vehicle into the traffic on the main road, heading towards Panjiayuan, familiar with the area.

He had gone with Jiang Tao several times, and he had also done a lot of research after returning home.

He knew exactly which route was the shortest and fastest.

As Jiang Tao's full-time driver, Lao Jia is quite professional.

It took more than 40 minutes for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class to enter the parking lot closest to the Panjiayuan Antique Market.

Jiang Tao gave Lao Jia 500 yuan and told him to find a place to have lunch and then wait where he was.

He took a silver safe out of the trunk of the G-Class and strode towards Zhang Bo's house.

Entering Panjiayuan Market, we walked through the bustling stall area.

Jiang Tao arrived at the entrance of "Boya Auction House" with ease.

Through the huge tempered glass of the main entrance, Jiang Tao saw that the auction house was brightly lit and had set up a lot of more professional live streaming equipment.

Zhang Bo was enthusiastically introducing a blue and white porcelain bowl in his hand.

After the introductions, Zhang Bo looked up to drink some water and caught a glimpse of Jiang Tao outside the door.

"Oh my! My brother Tao! You're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

Upon seeing Jiang Tao outside the door, Zhang Bo's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile, and he quickly got up to go out and greet him.

"Zhang Bo, business at the store has been pretty good lately, hasn't it?"

After Jiang Tao carried the safe inside, he greeted Zhang Bo with a smile.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to you, Brother Tao!" "Since I joined your company, our business volume has increased by 30% to 40%!"

"Moreover, this is just the beginning; the increase will be even greater in the future!"

When talking about his business, Zhang Bo looked at Jiang Tao with gratitude in his eyes, feeling that he had followed the right person!

"Hehe, all of this is inseparable from your own hard work. Keep up the good work, I believe in you."

Jiang Tao smiled and patted Zhang Bo on the shoulder before they entered the hall together.

Zhang Bo pointed to the equipment he was using for live streaming and smiled ingratiatingly:
"Brother Tao, how about we go over there and show our faces? Let me ride on your coattails."

"Haha, you're getting more and more shameless. You never used to say things like that."

Jiang Tao laughed heartily, genuinely appreciating Zhang Bo's current transformation.

Zhang Bo used to be a bit socially awkward, and he was very reserved when he did live streams.

Since joining Jiang's Entertainment Co., Ltd. and receiving professional training from Shan Yang and others, Zhang Bo has gradually begun to "let loose".

He's gone from a shy, socially awkward boy to a successful livestreamer.

Zhang Bo chuckled:

"Brother Tao, you're a top streamer with tens of millions of fans now. This is a rare opportunity, so we definitely have to take advantage of it!"

Jiang Tao joked with a smile, "You know I'm a big streamer now, so aren't you going to give me something for riding my coattails?"

Zhang Bo readily agreed, "Yes, yes, of course! Lunch is on me today, and you can pick any place you like, Brother Tao!"

Jiang Tao: "You said it yourself, so it's decided then."

Zhang Boxin nodded happily: "It's decided!"

The two chatted and laughed as they approached the live streaming equipment.

When Jiang Tao's face appeared on the live stream screen, the chat exploded!
[Holy crap! Who did I just see?! It's Jiang Shen!]

[It's really Jiang Shen! Jiang Shen has arrived!]

[This streamer is amazing! He's actually friends with Jiang Shen!]

[The guy who predicted the landslide and rescued people? My god, he's even more handsome in person than in the videos!]

Is Jiang Shen giving away more gifts to the streamer again? Looking forward to it!

[When Jiang Shen makes a move, it's always a masterpiece! I'm all ready to watch!]

The barrage of comments scrolled like a tide, filled with respect, admiration, and great curiosity for Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao's influence and legendary status on the internet make him an instant focus wherever he appears.

Looking at the bustling live stream, Zhang Bo was overjoyed, knowing that today's viewership was guaranteed.

He pulled Jiang Tao to the live streaming equipment and smiled at the camera:

"Brothers, look who's here! That's right, it's the guy I always tell you about, Brother Tao, Jiang Shen!"

"Hello everyone, I am Jiang Tao. I dare not accept the title of 'God Jiang,' I am just an ordinary citizen."

Jiang Tao also gave Zhang Bo face, smiling and waving at the camera.

[Jiang Shen is too modest! If you're just ordinary, then what am I?]

Oh no, I'm not even worthy of being called ordinary anymore!

Jiang Shen has redefined what it means to be ordinary with his own strength!

[Jiang Shen, I want to have your babies! I've sent you tons of my photos in private messages, please reply!]

[Jiang Shen is so handsome! I'm drooling over him!!!]

Have some shame! Don't you dare seduce my husband!

When the viewers in the live stream saw Jiang Tao, they were all very excited.

After all, Jiang Tao is quite "lazy" when it comes to live streaming, having only streamed a handful of times.

With tens of millions of followers, they've already watched all the videos he posted on his homepage, so the chance to see him in person is extremely rare.

With tens of millions of followers, yet still acting so slacking off, Jiang Tao is certainly one of a kind in Kuaishou and Douyin, if not unique.

He doesn't rely on this for a living, and he doesn't lack the small amount of tips from the live stream.

Zhang Bo continued, "Brother Tao's presence today must mean he's brought some good stuff! Would you all like to see it?"

【think!!!】

[I have to think about it!]

[Quickly let God Jiang show off his treasure!]

"I brought a little gadget with me today and asked Boss Zhang to take a look at it."

Jiang Tao chuckled and, as if by magic, pulled out the bronze coin he had obtained from the Fudi Cemetery from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Bo.

Zhang Bo first put on a white silk glove before reaching out to take the copper coin.

Upon examining the material, craftsmanship, and inscription on the copper coin, Zhang Bo's playful expression vanished instantly, replaced by a professional and serious demeanor.

He took out a high-powered magnifying glass, turned on a strong flashlight, and carefully observed the material, patina, rust color, lettering, and hole of the copper coin.

Everyone in the live stream held their breath, waiting for the results of the analysis.

A few minutes later, Zhang Bo slowly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He looked at the camera and said confidently:

"Family members! Treasure! Absolutely a treasure! If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Qing Dynasty Xianfeng Yuanbao coin, issued by the Baoquan Bureau, valued at 1,000 cash!"

"Look at the patina and the degree of wear, it's definitely genuine! And the condition is remarkably well-preserved!"

Zhang Bo paused for a moment, then gave an estimate that left all the viewers in the live stream speechless:

"Based on current market conditions, this Xianfeng Yuanbao coin worth 1,000 cash is worth approximately 1.2 million RMB!"

How much?! 120 million?!

[A single copper coin? 120 million? My goodness!]

What did I just hear? That's enough for me to earn for a lifetime!

[Jiang Shen is truly amazing! He could buy a large apartment in our county town outright with just a random thing he picked up!]

The live stream chat went completely crazy, filled with exclamation marks and "Holy crap!"

Everyone was utterly shocked by the price and extremely envious of Jiang Tao's luck and keen eye.

Jiang Tao accepted Zhang Bo's appraisal results and market price, and smiled as he took back the valuable copper coin.

"Brother Tao, that was just an appetizer. Is there the main course in your safe?"

Zhang Bo pointed to the silver safe that Jia Guilin had placed at his feet, his face full of anticipation.

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "That's true, but it's not convenient to show this in the live broadcast room. Let's go to the other room to talk."

"Oh, okay, sure, of course, Brother Tao, this way please!"

Zhang Bo didn't press Jiang Tao. Hearing that it wasn't convenient for him to demonstrate, he immediately led Jiang Tao towards the VIP reception room. (End of Chapter)
