Chapter 196: 20 Billion Dollars for a Wealthy Family

The next evening.

Meet Zuo Ziyan again.

The two of them went to Repulse Bay and had a Western meal prepared by the family's servant.

The maid, Mrs. Wu, had worked for a white employer for several years. Her cooking skills were impeccable. She could spread foie gras on bread and it became a staple food. She could also make fish soup and caramel brûlée.

Zuo Ziyan talked about it with relish, saying that Marseille fish soup, mainland's superior soup and Thai Tom Yum soup are collectively known as the "three major soups", and she also praised Mrs. Wu's foie gras sauce for being very good.

Fan Wumian felt lonely after listening to it and felt lonely too.

Unlike his girlfriend who had been exposed to the so-called upper class society since childhood, he didn't know much about Western food and didn't have much liking for it. He always felt that although it looked exquisite, the portions were too small to make it hard to feel full, just like eating only vegetables without rice or noodles, which always seemed to be missing something.

There is also a pursuit of exquisiteness in food ingredients.

Not to mention Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and puffer fish soup, even if it's stewed radish with old duck or yam with old hen, Fan Wumian can still enjoy the soup with rice.

However, the Marseille fish soup... After taking a small bite, I found that I had only tasted a small bite.

Knowing that both the environment in which Zuo Ziyan grew up and the things she was exposed to were different, Fan Wumian did not force Zuo Ziyan to have the same hobbies and tastes as him.

Just like going to study at Cambridge University in England.

Although he feels that there is no great need for it, and that it is better to be in the mainland and work in the smoldering business world for a few years, rather than staying in an ivory tower for four years, he does support it.

He was worried that Zuo Ziyan would give up her life goals for his sake, which would leave her with many regrets in the end.

During meal.

I heard that after signing the contract to exchange No. 12 Mount Kellett Road, Zuo Ziyan has not visited it yet.

Fan Wumian was also very curious about the scenery nearby, so he urged her to go out and take a bus to Mount Gale Road.

along the way.

Listen to Zuo Ziyan's introduction, telling who owns this house and what story that house has.

Fan Wumian only remembered that there was news that Mr. Ma from Lin'an spent 15 billion to buy a mansion in Gangcheng, and that Mr. Ma's mansion was also worth more than ten billion.

Although it is not clear enough, combined with the current market price of more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars, it is enough for him to have a rough estimate. He thinks that the housing price increase in the next ten years will be about 10 times.

With the rise of wealthy people in mainland China, their crazy shopping spree around the world can easily push up the prices of scarce mansions in Hong Kong.

but.

In front of Zuo Ziyan, Fan Wumian was too lazy to waste any more words.

Because she and her family know more, they are more difficult to convince. The smarter they are and the more independent their thinking is, the more they believe in their own ideas.

In fact, her parents are very professional in real estate.

Whether it was the previous acquisition of land to build an office building or the decisive exchange of the land at No. 12 Mount Kellett Road this time, for a normal businessman, the rate of return is not bad.

However, in the eyes of Fan Wumian who used the cheat, Zuo Ziyan was picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons this time.

If you take a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars and invest in Penguin stocks, Moutai stocks, or perhaps Apple, Google, Amazon and the like, you can definitely become a 1000 billion dollar rich family, let alone a 500 billion dollar rich family.

Even investing in real estate companies in the mainland can still be a good business.

For example, Biguiyuan.

Fan Wumian had read in the news that this mainland real estate developer was considering listing in Hong Kong. He remembered that at some point in time, this company had also produced the richest woman, and its rate of return was obviously higher than that of No. 12 Mount Kellett Road.

With the appraisal value of 12 Mount Kellett Road at HK$11 billion, plus the construction and renovation costs of HK$5000 million per building and the interest on the loans, the cost of each building is more than HK$1 million. It will take many years to make a substantial profit.

of course.

He was just thinking about it and felt sorry for his girlfriend.

At Zuo Ziyan's age, she is suppressed by her parents, grandfather and other elders, so she has no chance to make her own decisions. Even if Fan Wumian succeeds in convincing her, it will be of no avail.

For normal people, there is no essential difference between being worth 10 billion US dollars and being worth 100 billion US dollars. As long as you don't commit suicide, you can live a fairy-like life.
12 Mount Galley Road.

At present, it is just an empty lot next to the road.

Thinking that this place was worth 11 billion Hong Kong dollars and would be handed over to her in the future, Zuo Ziyan was very proud and said:

"The only drawback of this plot of land is that it does not overlook the scenery on both sides of Victoria Harbour. I have been to Barker Road and standing next to the fence, I felt like I was stepping on the entire harbor city. And unlike your villa, the land area is relatively small. After construction, each independent house will be closer to each other."

You can't see the view of Victoria Harbour, but you can see the mountain and sea views to the south. Fan Wumian already owns a mansion in Repulse Bay and has no urge to continue buying property in Hong Kong. He said to her:

"There are so many rich young men who like you recently. If each of them comes to buy one, all 12 will be sold. Oh, no, you still have to keep one for yourself, which means you only need 11 suitors. It's very easy."

Ever since Zuo Ziyan became famous because of him, there were rumors that she had modified her will and would inherit her grandfather's family business in the future. As the only heir to two huge assets, the media has begun to use "20 billion rich daughter" as the headline.

The good thing is that "You Are the Apple of My Eye" has been mentioned many times during this wave of popularity, attracting a lot of attention.

The downside is that the number of rich boys like Mr. Mai, who are eyeing both money and beauty, has increased dramatically. Some well-known wealthy people have also started trying to matchmake for their sons and grandsons, and have tried to get close to Zuo Ziyan's parents to discuss blind dates.

It was nothing more than that her assets were a little smaller than others. Her parents had no worries about food and drink, and there was no need to ask anyone for help. She went home and just told Zuo Ziyan about it as a funny story.

After listening to this, she smiled and asked:
"Are you starting to get jealous? Feeling threatened? Don't worry, they are not as handsome as you, nor as capable as you who started from scratch."

Fan Wumian nodded and said:

"That's true. At least when it comes to making money and doing business, I'm not afraid of anyone. To be honest, I've checked the prices of private jets online at home, and they seem to be a bit inflated."

Zuo Ziyan waved her hand:
"It's more convenient to rent a private jet, but it's very troublesome to maintain. If you have too much money to spend in the future, just ignore what I said."

"This time, my grandfather publicly announced that he would change his will and leave all his property to me. This was mainly to support me."

"And my grandpa actually knows you. He said that when he was drinking tea with the great talent Mr. Cai Lan, he heard him mention you. Mr. Jin Yong has also read your "The Desolate Emperor" and praised that young people nowadays are really amazing."

He scratched his face with his fingers.

Since he couldn't remember the entire plot, Fan Wumian could only rely on his memory and freely express his feelings. He recently wrote about a plot in which a man met a vixen girl.

Do not ask.

The question is, in real life, I was also seduced by a "vixen", and subconsciously I thought of creating a similar character.

He knew that many senior writers of martial arts novels had read his "Emperor of the Desolate Sky". They might just want to learn about the latest market trends, which was no big deal.

Fan Wumian said:
"If there weren't so many people who liked it, I would have given up long ago. I already had enough money from writing articles, and I just treated it as a hobby. But the Huiwen Daily's fixed-time serialization of articles made me feel like I was just working a part-time job."

"The physical book has been typeset and proofread, and will be available for sale soon. Readers who like this book have already tried to find ways to read the latest chapters, so I don't expect sales to be very high."

"I have been thinking about new scripts recently and looking for some novel copyrights suitable for adaptation. I even thought about acquiring a novel website to complement my film and television company, open up vertical platforms, and provide a steady stream of low-cost film and television adaptation materials."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I heard that.

Zuo Ziyan said: "You really want to do everything. I like to eat beef, so why should I just buy it? Why do I have to raise cattle myself?"

"The price of cattle has increased slightly, but there is a big market for novel websites. I checked online and found that last year Shengda Network Group spent 1500 million RMB to acquire Qidian.com, and recently raised another 1000 million RMB in financing. It's clear that they saw its potential commercial value."

Fan Wumian continued:

"I don't need to invest so much. If I produce a good script, I can make back my investment with interest. Then I can cooperate with Penguin to help me attract traffic."

Only then did I realize that he was also a shareholder of Penguin Group.

Thinking about it again, Zuo Ziyan felt that being an online novel platform had advantages, so she didn't say much and instead offered an idea:
"Look at the profits from your mobile ringtones. Experts say we have entered the era of mobile traffic dividends. If you want to expand a novel platform like this, you just need to attract the attention of netizens and attract powerful authors to join by spending money. Your novel "Emperor of the Desolate Sky" already has many readers. The question is how to make the platform profitable. You need to make a detailed plan."

Fan Wumian said calmly:

"For now, I only have an idea. I haven't checked any information yet. Some people in the mainland have translated the traditional Chinese version of "The Desolate Emperor" into simplified Chinese by hand, and then spread it everywhere on the Internet."

"Oh, by the way, when will the results of the High School Diploma Examination be released?"

"We have finished filming our movie in the blink of an eye, why is there still no news?"

Zuo Ziyan received the admission letter and was not worried about the test scores at all. She said:
"It should be soon. I can ask my mom to help me ask. I'll tell you as soon as the results are compiled."

I got into the car again and saw bare land in front of me, nothing to see.

Fan Wumian smiled and said:
"It's better not to bother your mother. It's fine to check your grades, but if I check my grades, I'll be asked a lot of questions. It's still early, do you want to go shopping somewhere?"

"If I go shopping with you, the paparazzi will take pictures and put them in the newspapers. I'd better go home first."

Zuo Ziyan finished speaking and added:

"The Penguin stock you hold has risen a lot recently. Is the first half financial report about to be released soon?"

Talk about this topic.

Fan Wumian's mouth curled up as he explained, "Well, after the company disclosed that its performance in the first half of the year had soared, the stock price went crazy. During this period, I only increased my holdings by more than 2 million yuan worth of stocks, and then the stock price kept rising, never giving me a chance to get on board again."
