Chapter 156 College Entrance Examination

I thought Fan Wumian was standing at a different height and was in contact with different circles.

This time, I received advice from an expert and decided to go all in and buy Penguin stocks. There are some little secrets in it that are unknown to the outside world.

Principal Li Jiagui lost a lot of money in real estate speculation in the past two years. He just sold a house at a loss and wanted to make up some of the losses from other places.

I found out that I just felt that the software launched by this company was easy to use.

Principal Li Jiagui instantly lost the idea of ​​following the trend in investment, and even felt it was a bit absurd.

Stand in the perspective of someone who has experienced it.

Principal Li reminded:

"Stock trading is no joke, don't be careless. Your family was not well-off before, and you didn't have access to investment, financial management, and other things. You lack experience in this area, so be careful not to be deceived. Being able to make money doesn't necessarily mean you can manage it. Many celebrities make so much money, and even Andy Lau once owed a large debt."

Fan Wumian burst out laughing.

I know the other party means well, but I still want to jokingly reply - "Are you teaching me how to invest?"

I couldn't find any other reasonable reason, so I just talked about metaphysics and answered:
"Don't worry, my dad asked a fortune teller to tell me that I will win every time I gamble. I was poor before I was 18, but after I turned 18, I was born with a lucky charm and have great luck."

"."

Hear the words.

Based on rational thinking logic, Principal Li completely gave up the idea of ​​following the trend and buying some penguin stocks, and said:
"When I was a kid, my mom took me to a fortune teller, and the fortune teller said I would become a millionaire. At that time, the Hong Kong dollar was very valuable, and a house on the Peak was only 1.8 million.

"One million dollars is useless now. It can't even buy an old ancestral house in the countryside. If you believe them, why study finance?"

"The military advisor of the richest man, Mr. Li, used a huge loan of 110 billion US dollars to help the second son of the Li family swallow up the Hong Kong City Telecom Company. This is what real ability is."

It’s also because of this battle.

Not only did it earn the second young master of the Li family the nickname "Little Superman", it also allowed the military advisor to spend more than 22 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the mansion at Barker Road, The Peak last year.

As for the "little superman", he encountered the collapse of the Internet bubble shortly after completing the acquisition.

The market value of the company he owned has fallen from 5800 billion Hong Kong dollars to more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is still burdened with loans of over billion US dollars.

Fan Wumian had his own reasons and didn't want to waste any more time on such matters.

Changing the subject:

"In May or June, my crew will come to the school to film. It will probably take two or three weeks. I'll have to trouble you then."

Principal Li patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"I'll help you with that. Remember to find me a role. It's rare to have a world-famous director. I hope your second movie will also be a big hit. Now that you've already had a successful example, can you sell your next movie to a Hollywood company?"

"Principal Li, it's not that simple"

It is difficult for Chinese directors to make it in Hollywood.

Some people have achieved success, but no matter how successful they were before, as long as they make a bad movie, they will immediately be back to square one and their resources will be seriously downgraded.

For example, the one who filmed "Hulk" caused heavy losses to the investors.

So much so that right after finishing a blockbuster, he had to go back to shooting low-budget movies. Recently, the news of the completion of "Brokeback Mountain" came out.

The sudden popularity of "A Quiet Place" was an accident. It gained an advantage in the market with its novel setting.

But if it comes to shooting some large-scale commercial blockbusters with large production volumes, Fan Wumian wouldn't dare to say that he can easily handle it and be better than those famous Hollywood directors, as he still lacks some experience.

In the end, he is both a singer and a director.

As he became one of the major shareholders of Penguin Holdings and acquired the mansion at No. 89 Repulse Bay Road, many of his peers have begun to regard Fan Wumian as a powerful "investor".

During this period, countless film and television projects have approached him seeking investment, but he has not yet met anyone who is interested.

On the contrary, the inconspicuous "Wulin Waijia" project was unexpectedly taken over by Fan Wumian, and has been talked about by colleagues in the circle in recent days.

I thought he would be like many other stars who got rich and tried to invest on their own, and ended up on the road to failure and never coming back.

All the endorsement advertisements and other activities I received recently have been scheduled for after the exam.

The preparation work for the production of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" was handed over to a newly hired local assistant director from Hong Kong.

Fan Wumian calmed down and enjoyed the last few days of high school.

The English oral test that started early made the students realize that high school is really coming to an end.

I could clearly feel that the atmosphere in Form 7 was beginning to change. Many students were busy asking their classmates to leave messages and sign their names in the yearbook.

Some young couples began to plan their future, hoping that even if they could not get into the same university, they would not be separated from each other.

There are also students who have been secretly in love with the goddess for a long time, and they seize the opportunity to confess their feelings in various ways.

Interesting to say.

Both Zuo Ziyan and Zhuang Muxi received a lot of love letters.

Some people even tried to show off their skills by playing guitar and singing in front of the school beauty Zuo, but were ignored.

Because Fan Wumian was in a secret relationship with both of them, many classmates mistakenly believed that they still had a chance.

Seeing his girlfriends being confessed to, Fan Wumian just thought it was a bit funny. He successfully borrowed a lot of interesting cases and added them to the script of "Those Years" which was being polished and revised.

Maybe it's because of the urgency of leaving school.

A group of shy girls also began to confess their love to Fan Wumian in various ways.

Sometimes when he went to the toilet, he would be stopped by his junior schoolmate in the corridor. When he first came to school in the morning, he would always see chocolates, love letters, glass bottles with paper cranes and little stars, etc. on the desks. Among them were Zuo Ziyan and Zhuang Muxi's classmates and friends.

On the day that Fan Wumian finished his oral English test, he took make-up lessons and practiced questions again in the evening.

The school beauty Zuo mentioned this in frustration.

The reason we started our secret relationship was mainly because we were afraid of trouble, but now we can't make it public even if we want to.

Worrying about encountering extreme fans is only one aspect.

On the other hand, they are afraid that the media will cause trouble. If the relationship between the two is put under a microscope and studied carefully by reporters, it will easily lead to countless unnecessary conflicts and there will be no private life at all.

For example, when Fan Wumian just became famous and finished filming the "Gray Avatar" advertising MV with Zuo Ziyan, some media said that he was "a toad trying to eat swan meat" and "a poor boy trying to hook up with a rich woman".

Fan Wumian doesn't care, thinking the more controversies there are, the easier it is to become famous. However, Zuo Ziyan can't stand the gossip.

The days passed by.

Even at Trinity College, countless students were reluctant to leave and began to reminisce about their more than ten years of study.

March 2005 finally came to an end.

4 month 1 number.

The seller of the mansion on Repulse Bay Road finally found time to come and complete the formalities, and the keys were handed to Fan Wumian.

Someone cleaned the house inside and out that day, and the next day was Saturday.

The soft furnishings of the villa are basically completed, and the sofas, beds, bookcases and other things have also been purchased, but there are still many things missing.

Fan Wumian took his assistant Pu Jiajing to the mall to buy daily necessities, such as bedding, toiletries, pots and pans, etc. Televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and other home appliances were also arranged.

The weather is getting hotter day by day. Fortunately, a brand new central air-conditioning has been installed in the house, which saves the trouble of later renovation.

Assistant Pu helped to make a list and I could just buy according to it.

Including the desks and office chairs for the study, Fan Wumian spent over a million Hong Kong dollars in just one Saturday. Batches of purchased items were delivered to the renovated mansion that had not yet been occupied by anyone.

Naturally, this incident also made the news.

There is also a worker in charge of the installation who was interviewed anonymously and said that the interior of House No. 89 is large and luxurious, which arouses endless imagination from the outside world.

pity.

Fan Wumian rejected all requests for interviews.

They also worked with a security company and sent two security guards to stop any journalists who tried to venture in.

Silly old Fan kept muttering to him, complaining that his son bought a mansion and didn't let his biological father live in it. He almost drooled at the sight of it during the visit.

I feel that if I live here, let alone finding a 30-year-old stepmother for my son, even a 20-year-old one would be a very good chance.

When interviewed by reporters, Silly Old Fan was not confused. He just said that he was used to living in the old house and had no plans to move out for the time being.

After all, he was still counting on his son to help him get rich, so when it came to changing with the times, silly old Fan was always very professional.

Worried about affecting her exam condition, Fan Wumian was not in a hurry to move into the new house. He only took Zuo Ziyan to visit it once on Sunday.

Seeing that there are only shrubs planted in the garden behind the house, I am considering spending some extra money to renovate the back garden, lay evergreen lawns, and dig an outdoor swimming pool.
------------

April 4th, a new week arrives.

On this unlucky day, the Hong Kong City DSE Secondary Education Diploma Examination officially began.

It is different from the college entrance examination in mainland China.

Since it involves many elective courses, similar to the last mock joint examination, the entire examination lasts three weeks, and students can still choose to come to school to review.

All exams will be completed by the end of the month, but the results will not be announced until early July.

Among all the candidates in Hong Kong, about 40% are able to study in the city’s eight major universities. Even if they fail, it doesn’t matter. The rich can study abroad, and the poor can study for an “associate degree”.

After graduating from the associate degree program, students can choose to continue their studies at university, and after another two years of study, they will still have the opportunity to obtain a bachelor's degree.

Zuo Ziyan and Zhuang Muxi each took an elective course first.

Fan Wumian was two days late when he found an elective course on Chinese history. He walked into the examination room calmly, finished the test, and felt that he did not do badly.

However, when applying to Beijing Film Academy, you only need to take four major courses, so it doesn’t matter much even if you leave the elective courses blank.

In name it is remedial lessons, but in reality it has recently become an excuse to use the library's office for a date.

The day before the major exams begin.

Fan Wumian was not in the mood to do the questions, and at this moment he said to Zuo Ziyan:

"This is the last make-up class. If you miss it, you will never have another chance. Do you want to leave some unforgettable memories in your high school life? I have already locked the door. I am under so much pressure. I am worried that I will fail the test tomorrow."

Zuo Ziyan understood what he was thinking. She bit her lip, looked up and glared at him, and said, "Don't dream. Finish the test paper quickly!"

I have tried many times, but all ended in failure.

Just when Fan Wumian thought it would be the same today.

Soon, Miss Zuo was seen frowning slightly, as if she had made some kind of decision.

immediately.

She gritted her teeth, bent down, lifted the tablecloth, and got under the table.
