Chapter 197 Stock Price Soars
Chapter 197 Stock Price Soars
The next few days.
Every day is very busy, running around everywhere.
Not only did he make a cameo appearance in the movie "The Song of Everlasting Regret" invested by Jack Long, playing the role of a rich young master, he also recorded the theme song of "A Beautiful Myth" with the heroine.
This theme song is divided into two versions.
A male and female duet version, mainly in Chinese and supplemented by Korean, plus a pure Chinese duet version, aiming to capture both the Chinese and South Korean markets at the same time.
Both songs were given to Fan Wumian to record. He listened to "Beautiful Myth" countless times and performed steadily during the recording.
The female lead in the Sino-Korean duet version of "The Myth" performed so-so on the spot and the recording was delayed for some time.
As for the female singer for the purely Chinese version, Fan Wumian recommended Han Hong to sing. However, due to schedule reasons, the performance was delayed for two more days.
During the recording of the song with Han Hong.
Jack Long, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, came to the scene in person, showing his signature smile, and waved to Fan Wumian.
After shaking hands, exchange a few polite words.
In the recording studio, Jack Long said to Fan Wumian:
"I met Miss Kim from South Korea the day before yesterday. She praised your singing voice and said that it was a great one. I'm sorry for holding you back."
Hear the words.
Fan Wumian was grumbling in his heart. The filming of the movie "Myth" had been completed, and Kim Sun-hee flew over from South Korea specifically to record songs. At the end of the filming, she said that she would be returning to South Korea soon to participate in a talk show.
He really wanted to know how Jack Long had the chance to meet Kim Sun-hee.
It was not convenient for an 18-year-old boy like him to ask about adult matters in person, so he pretended to be ignorant and said with a smile:
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t understand Korean, but I feel that this version recorded with Sister Hong has more feeling.”
Han Hong is still young now, and praised politely:
"Mr. Fan's singing is full of emotion, which makes me admire him very much. I feel like I am lagging behind, and it was hard for me to barely follow suit."
"Sister Hong, you're too kind. When I think of the heroine of this movie, who has been waiting for her lover to return across a thousand years, I feel a little sorry for her. I'm a little more familiar with it because I've recorded a version before."
While he was talking.
Jack Long took a check that had been prepared in advance from his assistant, handed it to Fan Wumian and said:
"Anyway, both of you can sing better than me. This is the pay for your guest appearance in "The Song of Everlasting Regret". When the movie is released, I will trouble you to help promote it."
Fan Wumian did not take the check, but smiled and asked:
"Boss, can you sell me the TV adaptation rights of Myth in advance? I can pay 300 million, how about using this check to offset part of it?"
After thinking for a while, Jack Long decided to give the check to Fan Wumian and said with a smile:
"Let's put things aside. Regarding the TV series adaptation rights, I need to discuss it with our partner, King Entertainment, before I can give you a reply."
"But if you, a little stock god in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, take a fancy to this, it must be a good thing. Boss Yang of the King of England may not agree to sell it to you."
"The license plate with four 9s is in your hands, but the license plate with the single digit 9 is in the hands of Boss Yang. He has a big family and a big business, I can't afford to offend him, and his words don't count."
Normal business dealings.
Fan Wumian gave a price, but it looked like Jack Long was not willing to sell it. From a business perspective, there was nothing much to say.
Jack Long is very confident about the movie "The Myth". Once the movie project is successful, he has the ability to invest in the adaptation and produce a TV series. Of course, he will not give up easily.
I just want to try to take advantage of the popularity of the movie "The Myth".
Seeing that Jack Long used Boss Yang of Yingwang Entertainment as a shield, Fan Wumian stopped talking about it and just followed the topic and jokingly replied:
"I originally wanted to take advantage of your popularity after the movie is released. But Yingwang Entertainment is so strong, I'm afraid I don't have much of a chance."
Compared to ordinary artists, Fan Wumian is now more like a businessman.
Jack Long is actually in the same boat. After making money in Hollywood, he invested in a large number of companies one after another. The film and television company is just one of them. Others include real estate speculation, art collection, hotel and catering companies, etc.
In 2002, news broke that Jack Long earned 6 million Hong Kong dollars a year.
Even if Fan Wumian used cheats, he almost couldn't beat him. His ability to make money was indeed quite strong. However, as the craze for action movies in Hollywood cooled down and the era of special effects blockbusters began, Jack Long's resources began to decline.
When a star's career is in danger and he or she may fall from grace at any time, investing in business after having money is a very common phenomenon in the circle.
The only difference is that the projects invested by Fan Wumian are more powerful and he can always accurately seize the most profitable business opportunities.
----------------
After recording the theme song for the movie "The Myth", he began to accept interviews from newspapers, TV stations and magazines, preparing for the release of his second solo album "Sleepless Night".
Many small artists are running around and are so busy that they have no time to rest, that's because they are not big enough.
To his side.
There was no need for Fan Wumian to travel in person. Reporters who wanted to interview him came all the way from Yanjing, Taiwan, Singapore and other places with their equipment.
Afterwards, I not only didn’t feel tired, but I felt very happy.
A few days ago.
Fan Wumian asked his agent Jiang Shixi to help him find jadeite of the "public auction winner" level in the market.
In order to earn commissions and benefits, a group of people in the industry heard the news and recommended a bunch of jadeite raw stones to him.
At present, the mainland economy has not yet been fully developed, and the jade market is relatively small.
Many of the top-level stones made Fan Wumian a little tempted after seeing the photos. However, considering that buying them would require a large amount of money to be deposited, it was not cost-effective, so he reluctantly gave up. What he needed was not a high-priced material, but a "magic stone" with the opportunity to make hundreds of millions of yuan, so he added another requirement: "uncut, full green and high-quality water", and continued to wait for feedback.
It may be because the sellers are hoarding them, or it may be that they are still buried underground and have not been dug out. In any case, some of the information that has been received does not match the "Big Jade King" stone.
Fan Wumian was not in a hurry.
In just one week, five working days, Penguin shares soared another 14.98%.
Only a few months have passed since the lowest point of around HK$4.32 at the beginning of the year, and Penguin's stock price has risen to around HK$5.95, with a bright future.
Since June, the total increase has been about 6%. Based on Fan Wumian’s total holdings, he has earned more than 31 million Hong Kong dollars since investing in Penguin stocks!
The market is really going crazy.
Since Fan Wumian didn't know much about the specific market conditions, he thought that the share price of Penguin would rise slowly. It was not until he encountered a super bull market that he realized how quickly he could make money by speculating in stocks.
Fan Wumian wanted to keep a low profile, but with his fame, it was impossible for him to hide it.
Whenever Penguin Stocks are mentioned in the financial pages, his name is always mentioned in passing.
Just as someone finished calculating Fan Wumian’s average holding price and total return, an “informed person” anonymously broke the news, saying that he had leveraged to go long at a low point, and his paper profit had exceeded HK$9400 million.
At this moment.
Fan Wumian was holding his laptop and browsing the news online, saying helplessly:
"The numbers are so precise, they are only missing two decimal places. I would never believe that there is no traitor in the securities company."
Assistant Pu Jiajing came over to help clean up, her voice sounded cheerful:
"You're a big star, right? If you sell this explosive news to newspapers, can you make a lot of money? How much can you get?"
".Your idea is a bit dangerous."
Fan Wumian looked at her with suspicion and continued to remind her:
"I know you just bought my old house, and you're under a lot of pressure to repay the loan. If you run into any trouble, you can discuss it with me directly. Don't take risks and let that little money get you in the head. I'm a major shareholder of Penguin Group, and margin trading needs to be reported to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This kind of news can't be sold at a very high price, probably only about ten thousand yuan at best."
"1 yuan is my mother's three months' salary. Isn't that enough?"
Pu Jiajing paused for a moment and continued:
"That's right. You are a stock god who can earn two mountaintop mansions by speculating in stocks, but you don't know the suffering of ordinary people."
Lehe smiled.
Fan Wumian closed his laptop and said with a smile:
"Buying a house is fun, but paying off the mortgage is a pain in the ass. However, you bought it at a good time. My old house is large and in a good location. It's much more comfortable than those unlucky people who bought at high prices. After a few years of hard work, you will be glad that you bought my dad's house. This may be the second wisest decision in your life."
".Then what's the first thing, finding a good man as a husband?"
"No, be my assistant."
".oh."
Just finished chatting.
The apartment manager at the front desk downstairs called and reported:
"Mr. Fan, there is a president of the Nanyang Development Bank named Zhong Yuanying who wants to see you with some gifts. Do you need help opening the door and letting him in?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Wumian couldn't help but sneer.
Banks are also open for business. For the sake of risk control, they are best at "giving out umbrellas when it's sunny and collecting them when it's raining."
Big customers who are not short of money are often begged for loans, but customers who are really short of money are easily turned away by banks.
A few days ago, due to the purchase of an “Emperor” jadeite pigeon egg, although the loan was eventually granted, the situation was a bit unpleasant.
Obvious.
Zhong Yuanying, the president of Nanyang Development Bank, came to visit personally with gifts, probably because he heard the news that Penguin Holdings' share price had soared and Fan Wumian's net worth had skyrocketed, so he came to get close to him.
It had been only 10 days since he took out a loan to buy the pigeon eggs, which only made Fan Wumian a little unhappy, but it was not a big conflict.
Think about it, if you don't accept a gift, it would be a waste.
He asked the apartment manager, "What gifts did this person from the bank bring?"
".It seems that there are fish maw and bird's nest. How about I check it first and then call you back?"
"Oh, no need, let him up."
The reason for the bank president's visit was simple.
It is nothing more than the previously pledged penguin shares, the share price has gone up, and a credit line of approximately HK$2 million can be obtained.
You can get the funds as soon as possible by releasing the mortgage first and then taking out a new loan.
Fan Wumian knew that Penguin stocks would definitely rise.
However, ups and downs are inevitable during this period, and it is difficult to predict the short-term trend.
According to brokerage firms, some people, seeing the skyrocketing growth of Penguin stocks, could not wait and started shorting them.
However, even though the stock price has skyrocketed, it has not yet broken through HK$6, so there is no need to say much about the prospects.
No reply has been given to the president yet.
He wants to wait and see for a few days before deciding whether he should continue to increase his holdings in the near future.
