I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Everyone present looked at James!

Obviously, most people were a little surprised that James would agree to Jiang Chen's outrageous conditions.

He paid half of his family fortune to gamble on an uncertain opportunity, and it was not a chance for himself to survive, but a chance for his daughter to survive.

Pay a high price of up to 700 to 800 billion US dollars to buy your daughter a chance to survive!

Just a chance, not a certainty.

This is an extremely crazy choice in anyone's eyes.

After hearing this, Lin Ziqi, Yan Ruyu, Han Qing and others looked at James with a hint of respect.

This is respect for a father.

A father is willing to give so much for his daughter, which shows that James truly loves his daughter.

This is fatherly love.

Jiang Chen looked at James and was the calmest one. He would not be surprised by any choice James made.

Because, he doesn't care.

Jiang Chen asked softly, "Are you sure? Mr. James?"

James nodded: "I'm sure! I can sign the documents with you now! I will transfer half of the stocks and assets under my name to your name, excluding debts."

It is standard that the richer a person is, the more debt they have to the bank.

Jiang Chen is absolutely unique in the world who has tens of billions of dollars in cash but does not owe the bank a penny.

James's bank debt is as high as tens of billions of dollars, but the debt does not affect the assets paid to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shook his head gently and said, "I don't want assets, I just want cash, Mr. James. I want cash equivalent to the value of your assets. As for how you get the cash, I don't care! Your daughter still has a few months to live, and I will stay in North America for a month or two. You have enough time to deal with it."

After saying that, Jiang Chen turned and walked into the house, ready to take a rest.

James was stunned outside the door for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll take care of it now!"

Then James turned and left, and Bowles followed James.

Powers said in a complicated tone: "Mr. Jiang Chen only wants cash! It's a good thing for you."

James nodded, and of course he understood that this was a good thing.

Most of these wealthy people's assets are in the form of stock values, and they have very little cash on hand.

If Jiang Chen wanted half of his assets, he would have to divide his stocks and other assets into half and give them to Jiang Chen. Then it would be almost impossible for him to buy back these stocks and other assets in the future.

but……

Jiang Chen only wants cash.

Then he can mortgage all his stocks to the bank and borrow half of the value in cash to pay Jiang Chen. In this way, he can continue to hold these stocks and it will not affect his position and voice in the company and the industry. At the same time, the stocks will still have room for appreciation in the future.

In their view, it is unwise to hold cash.

However, since Jiang Chen wants cash and he also hopes that Jiang Chen wants cash, then he can just go ahead and do it.

James can later use other channels to raise funds to redeem his shares from the bank, so that he can quickly restore his assets and wealth.

As long as his stocks are still there and his position in the industry remains, it will be easy for him to make money again.

If he loses half of his assets such as stocks, his voice and status will be greatly weakened, and it will be twice as difficult to make money in the future. It will be almost impossible to earn back half of the lost assets.

but……

Pay half of the assets in cash.

He has a great chance of earning back the cash he paid out and restoring his previous assets.

Powers said softly: "Jiang Chen must know the pros and cons of this, but he still chose to take cash, leaving you and others who want medical treatment with a chance to restore your wealth."

James nodded: "I know! However, I just want to cash out quickly and pay Mr. Jiang Chen enough money so that he can treat my daughter immediately."

Now that James has made up his mind, he wants Jiang Chen to treat his daughter as soon as possible to make sure whether Jiang Chen can cure his daughter Lily.

Bowers: "I will contact the bank's people to help you raise money through mortgage as soon as possible."

James: “Okay, thank you!”

Powers: “Of course!”

James breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Bowles had helped him a lot, not only by introducing him to Jiang Chen but also by getting him the opportunity to have Jiang Chen treat him.

More importantly, Bowles took him to form a life club outside of China. Anyone who wants to see Jiang Chen for medical treatment in the future must go through the two of them.

Then the resources that the two of them control are a bit scary. The 700 to 800 billion US dollars that he has paid to Jiang Chen now will be earned back quickly by using the resources of this Life Club in the future.

So, he felt a little relieved.

…………

in the afternoon.

Guo Haitao and Luo Sheng came to visit Jiang Chen together.

The two of them arrived just in time to calculate that Jiang Chen would wake up from his nap.

"Jiang Chen, the World Championship program team has been set up! Teacher Luo and I have both joined the program team. I am one of the assistant directors, and Teacher Luo is one of the music producers."

Guo Haitao reported to Jiang Chen about the situation and progress of the World Championship: "The ten champions from the ten major divisions have all arrived. The competition system is the same as before! The victory or defeat will be decided by the audience. There are one thousand spectators on site who were selected from the ten major divisions, and each division has one hundred spectators."

"These one thousand viewers have the right to vote!"

"Whoever gets the most votes will win and advance!"

"The ten contestants draw lots to decide their opponents. The first round is a one-on-one duel, a single elimination system, until the final champion is decided."

"If you want to win the championship, you have to defeat at least four opponents."

Jiang Chen listened to Guo Haitao's explanation of the rules, nodded slightly and said, "I understand. When does it start?"

Guo Haitao: "Next Monday you will join the program team to officially start preparing for the first round of performances, and the first round of performances will begin next weekend."

"The show is very popular all over the world, and every contestant is a talented contestant selected from major competition areas."

"Especially the North American player Anna, who is extremely popular in North America and has world-class skills and talents. It will be very, very difficult for us to win the championship."

Guo Haitao's tone was somewhat pessimistic, and his expectations for Jiang Chen's winning the championship were much lowered.

Luo Sheng also nodded, his eyes somewhat helpless.

Jiang Chen is fighting in a different place, so his influence is definitely not as good as Anna, a local player from North America. Anna herself is also a talented player with excellent looks and temperament, and can be said to be the chosen one. And!

the most important is.

In the World Championship, if you want to conquer the live audience as much as possible and get a thousand live audience members to vote for you, you must sing English songs.

English is the native language for European and American players.

However, for Asian contestants, it is a foreign language and it is definitely not as smooth and natural as singing in their native language.

This is a huge factor.

and so.

The two of them were already prepared to just come for a walk and then return home, and had no expectations of Jiang Chen winning the championship.

It’s not that Jiang Chen is not strong, but that he has too many objective disadvantages that cannot be changed at all. Their previous ideas about the country were a bit naive.

The two of them said this to Jiang Chen at this time, hoping that Jiang Chen would be mentally prepared.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I understand. Just do your best."

Luo Sheng nodded: "That's right, just try your best not to have any regrets. Just come and see the world."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Will this be a live performance?"

Guo Haitao nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, it's all live broadcast! The performance venue is the Staples Center, which can seat 20,000 spectators, and the tickets for the first three performances have all been sold out. This show hasn't even started yet, but it's already a hit. The live performance tickets alone are enough to make a lot of money."

With 20,000 spectators and an average ticket price of $500, one performance would bring in $10 million in ticket revenue. With all three performances sold out, the company has already earned $30 million in revenue.

Before the show officially started, it had already earned 30 million US dollars, which was definitely a huge incentive for the program team. This also further attracted a large number of advertisers, and the advertising prices also rose.

The overall expected income in the future is also higher.

They just hope that Jiang Chen can get into the top three.

Jiang Chen didn't care about it.

Han Qing received a call from Bowles and said to Jiang Chen, "Bowers told us to provide an overseas bank account. James is raising money and will directly deposit it into our account when the time comes!"

It is impossible to deposit 700 to 800 billion US dollars directly into Jiang Chen Huaxia’s account.

Therefore, I could only register an account in an international overseas bank to receive James' money.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and said, "I don't have an overseas account!"

Han Qing said quickly: "Bowers said he could help us register one."

Jiang Chen thought about it and said, "No need! Call Li Wenbin and ask him to register an account for me."

Jiang Chen still maintains a certain degree of caution towards Bowles and James.

Although, he didn't care that much about the wealth.

However, since it was his own thing, he naturally had to keep it well.

Therefore, he trusted Li Wenbin more and asked him to help him with the operation.

Han Qing nodded and turned to find Li Wenbin to do the operation.

Guo Haitao and Luo Sheng looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Through the fragmentary conversation between Jiang Chen and Han Qing, they have speculated that Mr. James, who knelt down yesterday, may have agreed to Jiang Chen's conditions and paid half of his assets to ask Jiang Chen to provide medical treatment for his daughter.

When they returned, they learned more about the wealth and status of James and Bowles, and found out that both of them were among the top ten richest people in the world.

Of course, this is just the public list. There are far more than ten people who are secretly richer than these two!
However, both of them have a net worth of more than 100 billion US dollars.

James will have to pay half of his assets, which is tens of billions of dollars.

Jiang Chen is about to get this asset worth tens of billions of dollars...

The two of them suddenly felt that it was too childish for them to bring Jiang Chen to participate in the world competition to compete for the championship in order to gain more income.

Even though the World Championship had already earned $30 million in ticket revenue before it even started, and many advertisers were flocking to the event, the total revenue from the entire World Championship would only be in the order of $1 billion at most, and would not exceed $2 billion.

And Jiang Chen earned 70 to 80 billion US dollars with just one sentence!

The combined market value of all copyright companies in their top ten divisions is far less than 70 to 80 billion US dollars.

Together with the cooperating TV stations in North America and the media companies behind them, the assets may reach 70 to 80 billion US dollars.

The two were speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment. It felt like everything they said was pale and it was like they were just playing house in front of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked at the two of them and said, "Then we will go to the program crew to report on Monday."

Guo Haitao and Luo Sheng woke up in shock and nodded hurriedly.

Guo Haitao said hurriedly: "Okay, OK! We will come and pick you up on Monday."

They didn't say that the contestants from the other nine regions were not so leisurely at all. They reported to the program crew almost every day, established good relationships with the program's directors and many musicians, and frequently made public appearances, constantly making their presence felt in the eyes of the media and audience fans.

Only Jiang Chen, the champion of the Chinese region, is very mysterious. He has not shown his face in the two days since he arrived. Neither the people from the program crew nor the media have seen Jiang Chen yet.

The two of them originally wanted to persuade Jiang Chen to go to the program crew tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, show up in front of many media and accept an interview. The program crew will use this to hype up their popularity, increase the show's highlights, and attract more Chinese audiences and sponsors, thereby earning more money.

but……

Knowing that Jiang Chen was about to earn 700 to 800 billion US dollars and that Jiang Chen could cure cancer, they no longer dared to give Jiang Chen any advice.

Once Jiang Chen earns 70 to 80 billion US dollars, he will instantly become the richest man in China.

but!

They knew that Jiang Chen might not be on the wealth list.

The two of them made an appointment with Jiang Chen to report to the program crew on Monday, so they quickly said goodbye and left. They didn't dare to stay here any longer, for fear of seeing more things they shouldn't see.

After the two left.

Han Qing contacted Li Wenbin and immediately registered an overseas bank account for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's account had just been opened. As soon as James got the account, he directly transferred 10 billion US dollars into the account and called Jiang Chen to plead, "Mr. Jiang Chen, this 10 billion US dollars is the first payment. Can you please help Lily with her treatment first? I need time to deal with the remaining assets. I will raise all of them within three days and transfer them to your account."

"A total of 85.4 billion US dollars, not a penny less!"

Jiang Chen took the phone and listened to the other party's words. He was curious and wanted to see the symptoms of ALS. He did not refuse immediately and said calmly: "Okay, bring the patient here first, and I will take a look at the situation first."

"I'm telling you in advance that you must unconditionally comply with any of my requests regarding treatment!"

James agreed excitedly: "Okay, I will definitely do everything you ask! I will arrange a car to take Lily to your manor now." (End of this chapter)
