Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 247 Don’t Be Too Nice to Women

Qian Li obtained Singapore PR (permanent residency), and the cost of his children attending public school is only slightly higher than that for Singaporean citizens, only about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year.

The trust that Jiang Tao handled was enough to send Jiang Yucheng to college.

Now Jiang Beicheng wants to send him to an international school. The tuition fee is 18.9 yuan a year, which is slightly higher than the international schools in Singapore. The annual cost of elementary and middle school education is estimated to be to yuan.

Just to finish my youngest son's middle school education, plus daily expenses, it would probably cost tens of millions.

Qian Li ate his meal and moistened his throat.

She was grateful to her eldest son for being so generous to them, but she also felt like she owed him Jiang Beicheng something.

And you will owe more and more.

The old lady noticed Qian Li’s expression and coaxed her grandson, “Yucheng, let’s go to an international school.

Your elder brother is rich.

Grandma has money too.”

These two simple and plain sentences broke Qian Li's defense.

He couldn't hold it in, and his eyes blinked twice, turning red.

Hearing the old lady say these words, she felt a little guilty.

At that time, he often said bad things about the old lady to Jiang Tao.

Of course, the old lady also said a lot of bad things about her, but if you argue with an elder, you are petty.

Besides, they didn't come to the city to interfere with your life. You can live in peace and quiet in your hometown alone.

"Mom, thank you!" Qian Li called out with tears in his eyes.

The little old lady shook her head, not liking this sentimental and sad atmosphere.

During that time, she and her eldest grandson had had enough. They had finally managed to get through it, but then they started doing the same thing again.

“Hold your tears, go back to Singapore and cry alone, don’t disturb us from eating.” The old lady was still unforgiving.

Qian Li smiled and nodded repeatedly.

After dinner, Shen Jun sent the child back home, "Son, say goodbye to Dad Jiang."

"Dad Jiang, bye, you should get some rest early." Sun Jinhao waved goodbye and said to Jiang Yucheng, "Uncle, I'll come over to play with you every day after I finish my homework."

Jiang Yucheng waved and said, "Bye!"

After Shen Jun and his mother left, Qian Li asked Jiang Beicheng, "What's going on?"

She just heard Shen Jun's child call "Dad Jiang". Could it be that the eldest son really wanted to bring this mature woman into the Jiang family?
Jiang Beicheng sat down and hugged his younger brother, and replied to his stepmother: "You are too sensitive.

I adopted Sun Jinhao as my godson. This guy is pretty good. He has a bandit-like spirit that I like.

Besides, Assistant Shen is a very nice person, and Grandma always tells her to help whenever I can."

Qian Li breathed a sigh of relief and understood what Jiang Beicheng meant. He reminded her not to embarrass others by using her status as an elder of the Jiang family.

The old lady likes both mother and son very much.

Qian Li smiled and shook his head, then subconsciously reached out and tapped Jiang Beicheng's forehead, "You and your father are the same character!"

"What kind of person is my father?" Jiang Beicheng asked Qian Li with a smile.

Qian Li smiled but did not answer.

He picked up his son and said, "Yucheng, let's go take a shower and go to bed. Don't be like your big brother in the future."

……

On the day of Ching Ming Festival.

All the direct and collateral branches of the Jiang family went to the Huaxia Cemetery to pay tribute to Jiang Tao and Li Yun.

When Jiang Beicheng bid farewell to his father last year, no other relatives and friends came except for some close relatives and friends.

He made excuses for various reasons and just put his name on the gift book and gave a little money.

Jiang Beicheng felt it was quite insulting at the time.

So he felt very proud that so many people came today to pay tribute to his parents.

No matter what purpose these people came for, at least in their eyes, the current Jiangbei City can represent the face of the Jiang family.

As I said, when we live, what we live for is our personal value.

The higher your personal value, the higher your network of contacts, social level, and even social status.

Jiang Beicheng brought dozens of Jiang family members to pay tribute to his deceased parents. If his parents saw his condition today, they would probably feel relieved.

Having system assistance really helped him a lot.

But his own changes and ambition are also visible to the naked eye.

I didn't shed any tears at the cemetery today.

There were no traces of tears on grandma's face.

She is proud too.

If she could see the Jiang family rise again, she, the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, could hold her head high when she went to see her husband and say proudly: Old man, look how prosperous the Jiang family is now, I didn’t embarrass you!

Qian Li shed many tears today while kneeling in front of Jiang Tao's grave.

She remembered Jiang Tao's kindness.

I also admire Jiang Tao as a real man. Before he left, he had made arrangements for the rest of their lives for the mother and son.

After paying tribute to Jiang Tao, Qian Li went to present a bouquet of flowers to Li Yun.

The whole family watched.

Jiang Beicheng didn't say anything, nor did he intend to pass on the love affairs, grudges and entanglements of their previous generation to the next generation.

Accept Qian Li's apology to his mother.

After the memorial service, Jiang Beicheng made a decision in front of everyone in the Jiang family.

He asked his uncle Jiang Huaqiang to collect information about the Jiang family's ancestors, compile a family tree, and build a new ancestral hall.

Jiang Huaqiang was more excited than anyone else when he heard this decision.

When Jiang Tao was at his peak, he had mentioned to Jiang Tao many times about repairing the ancestral hall.

Jiang Tao did not accept the idea. On the one hand, his mind was fully focused on the company and he stayed overseas all year round, so he had no energy to deal with these things.

On the other hand, he felt that it was a bit too high-profile and not good for his image as a well-known entrepreneur in Jiangnan City.

Jiang Huaqiang never mentioned it again.

Now that his nephew Beicheng suddenly decided to let him do this, he felt like he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of the family's rise and fall.

If he can get this done well, he will have great merit.

"Nephew Beicheng, don't worry about leaving this matter to your uncle. I will definitely handle it beautifully for you." Jiang Huaqiang patted his chest in front of everyone.

Jiang Beicheng decided to do this with the intention of bringing honor to his family.

He has this vanity and wants to establish a great image for the descendants of the Jiang family.

With the help of the system, I also want to leave a mark on social history, customs and humanities.

Another important purpose is to find something for these relatives to do and shut them up.

Otherwise, I'll just hang around in front of you for no reason.

After explaining the matter, we went down the mountain to have dinner at the restaurant.

A car has been arranged to take the relatives back soon.

My stepmother was flying to Singapore in the evening, so Jiang Beicheng took her and her brother back after dinner.

Pack up.

"It's still early, stay with Yucheng for a while, I'll take you there later!" Jiang Beicheng said.

Qian Li said, "No need to see me off, Beicheng. You'll be back many times in the future, so don't make it too sentimental."

Jiang Beicheng took a glass of water and said with a smile: "There's no way we can be sentimental!"

Qian Li laughed along.

She stood up and stood in front of Jiang Beicheng, opening her arms: "Little Mom, give me a hug."

Encouraged: "I believe you can surpass your father."

"This goal is too small." Jiang Beicheng said with a smile. Qian Li smiled and rubbed Jiang Beicheng's head: "Be humble, my good son."

"Yucheng, listen to your big brother and grandma, and remember to video call your mom every night." Qian Li took the luggage from the servant and waved goodbye, "Let's go."

"Bye, Mom~" Jiang Yucheng waved.

The little guy was very strong and didn't cry.

Although he was young, he definitely understood some things. His emotions were at their strongest at that time. He didn't cry or make a fuss, but waved goodbye to his mother.

Jiang Beicheng looked relieved. This was the child of their Jiang family.

"When the holidays come, I'll send you to Singapore to play." Jiang Beicheng picked him up and coaxed him.

"I'm not going, bro. I don't have any friends in Singapore who want to hang out with me."

The little guy shook his head, his attitude firm.

Jiang Beicheng became even more certain that it was right for him to bring him back, as a child's childhood must be sunny.

His stepmother didn't let him go to the airport to see her off, but he still sent Qianli downstairs.

In the elevator, I said bluntly: "You are still young and your conditions are not bad. I am not that traditional and will not interfere in your personal feelings.

Just do what I tell you to do!"

Qian Li looked at his eldest son's serious expression and smiled. "In terms of personal feelings, does your stepmother read other people's expressions?"

Jiang Beicheng also smiled and nodded.

This is true.

Otherwise, she would not have given birth to a child for Jiang Tao, who was almost two years older than her.

"Little Mommy wants to remind you, don't be too nice to women. Women are cheap. You have to torture and punish them properly so that they will be loyal to you."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "You actually told the truth."

"Your mother is here!" Qian Li smiled and waved, then got into the servant's nanny car. "Let's go. See you next time."

"Goodbye!" Jiang Beicheng waved goodbye.

Number of smiles: 445/1000

I've gotten a lot of smiles from my relatives these days.

……

That morning, Jiang Beicheng went to take the theoretical test for helicopters.

Pass the level in one go.

I arranged two hours of driving lessons for him in the afternoon.

He had flown light helicopters and had obtained a sports license, and was very skilled at it.

The coach just watches from the side and gives occasional guidance.

According to regulations, a helicopter private and commercial license requires 120 hours of study, and Jiang Beicheng needs to complete another hours of study before he can obtain the license.

Because it involves commercial use and the management is relatively strict, the leaders of the aviation school did not dare to give him a back door.

Otherwise he could take the exam right now.

After finishing school in the afternoon, I went home and took a shower before going out.

We didn’t have dinner at home. Uncle Hailin organized a dinner party. The two senior investors we talked about last time joined Lian Capital as executive partners.

4% and 2% of the equity were released to them respectively.

The annual salary will be given according to the market conditions of the talent market.

When establishing Lian Capital, Jiangbeicheng put a lot of effort into the equity structure of Lian Capital.

No matter how many investors and funds he attracts, he always guarantees his absolute right to speak and vote.

As the capital pool grows bigger, the shares will definitely be diluted, but the equity premium will also be very obvious.

Simply put, the shares seem to have decreased, but the equity in hand is more valuable.

Lian Capital is now developing rapidly and is striving to reach a private equity scale of tens of billions.

"Uncle Hailin!" Jiang Beicheng walked into the box and called out.

Hailin stood up to greet him, and the two partners who were sitting at their seats also stood up, smiling and showing politeness.

"Beicheng, let me introduce you," Hailin said. "This is Luo Peizhi, who previously worked at Capital Today, investing in the entertainment services and fast-moving consumer goods industries.

This is Ma Mingyuan, who previously worked at Haina Asia Venture Capital, investing in the internet, biopharmaceuticals, and other fields.”

Then he introduced Jiang Beicheng to the two of them: "This is Mr. Jiang Beicheng, the founder of Li An Capital."

"Mr. Jiang, nice to meet you!"

"Boss Jiang, your name is well-known and I have long admired it."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and shook hands with the two men: "Welcome to Lion Capital."

When we met for the first time, I lowered my posture a little.

When it comes to attracting talent, he can be more humble.

These two people have been communicating with Uncle Hailin, and he believes in Uncle Hailin's vision and use of people.

After all, he had served as vice president of the Jiangnan City Commercial Bank Group, a financial giant.

Knowing and employing people is a basic skill.

The areas that Luo Peizhi and Ma Mingyuan are good at and the resources they hold are the shortcomings that Lian Capital needs to fill right now.

Today Capital and Susquehanna Asia Ventures, where they previously worked, are also well-known venture capital firms in the investment circle.

JD.com, the representative work of Capital Today, was given a new lease of life by Capital Today’s CEO Xu Xin.

Susquehanna Asia Ventures is also Zhang Yiming's angel investor. Without that $300 million investment, Zhang Yiming's Toutiao would probably have died, and there would be no TikTok business empire today.

These two people have very impressive career resumes, and Jiangbeicheng warmly welcomes them to join Lian Capital.

Of course, once they sit at the table, it will definitely be their turn to flatter themselves.

After all, the identities of the two executive partners are very different from those of Jiang Beicheng, the founder and largest shareholder, and Hailin, the founding partner.

They can participate in the management and operations of the company, but have no say in major strategic adjustments of the company...etc.

It's like being a worker.

However, with a certain amount of shares, my position is a little higher than my previous position. Simply put, I am a "senior worker."

"Mr. Jiang is a young talent, an all-round talent. I admire him very much. I offer a toast to Mr. Jiang and wish him more and more success in his career."

"Mr. Jiang, I offer you a toast. In the investment field, you humbly call me a senior, but in the field of entrepreneurship, I have to call you a senior. I have heard Mr. Hai tell your story.

Admiration from the heart.

I did it, you can do whatever you want."

Jiang Beicheng responded with a smile and clinked glasses.

This kind of private dinner is bound to involve some business flattery, and Jiang Beicheng has become accustomed to it.

We will just get to know each other tonight, and then have another meeting at the company tomorrow to divide responsibilities, discuss industry development, and plan the company's prospects.

We should not only do our work in a broad sense, but also in a detailed manner.

This is the main purpose of introducing high-end talents.

The next morning, Jiang Beicheng went to Lian Capital for a meeting, which was still chaired by CEO Hai Lin.

The main goal was put forward at the meeting, which was to build a private equity fund company worth tens of billions.

Hundreds of billions does not mean absorbing hundreds of billions of funds. Just like a bank, if it only takes deposits but does not lend out, there will be no profit. For private equity funds, people give you their money to manage, and you have to let them see real returns.

The money needs to be invested and put into operation to make money.

So this "hundreds of billions" means that Lian's actual assets have exceeded 10 billion, including the income generated by investments.

Jiang Beicheng will also pass the fund practitioner qualification exam as soon as possible and enter the venture capital circle.

After the meeting, we had lunch in the cafeteria. At noon, several partners and executives drank tea and chatted together in the office to build tacit understanding.

In the afternoon, Jiang Beicheng went to Jiangda to take MBA classes. Generally, he would only come to school to attend classes taught by well-known professors and scholars. The rest of the time he mostly studied online.

As soon as he arrived at the classroom, he heard cheers from this class of students. Jiang Beicheng listened roughly and it seemed that someone had obtained 2000 million in financing.
