Chapter 229 The price difference is as high as times

Stayed with Zhuang Muxi in Yanjing for one night.

Because a new house was being built next door, the small courtyard on the second floor had not been renovated much, and the wooden bed was of average quality, and it kept creaking.

It was a bit annoying at first.

If you listen to it for a long time, you will find that it actually has a good sense of rhythm.

next morning.

After cleaning up and finishing their breakfast, the two went out and talked with the representative of China Construction Bank about the transaction details of the property at No. 28 Di'anmen West Street.

There are some minor issues that need to be resolved.

For example, there is temporarily no heating, and the seller needs assistance in releasing the mortgage before refinancing.

After the two parties negotiated, Zhuang Muxi called her parents again and said that she would invest together with Fan Wumian to open the Royal Courtyard Hotel.

Her parents don't understand.

But they believed that Fan Wumian must be very familiar with it. After all, it was not the first time he bought a property in Yanjing. So they preliminarily agreed to the cooperation without coming for an on-site inspection.

In the eyes of Zhuang Muxi's parents, with Fan Wumian's ability, there is no need to worry about their family being cheated.

Moreover, with his extremely high fame, it is easy for him to attract guests by opening a hotel, which is a relatively safe type of investment.

Actually.

Her parents even thought that Fan Wumian might want to pursue their daughter, so he used the excuse of investing in a hotel together to get close to her, and they were happy to see it happen.

Zhuang Muxi has been a good girl since she was young.

The old couple never expected that she was so bold, and they were taken advantage of without a word.

Finished quickly.

The real estate transaction agreement was signed that day, setting the payment date one month later.

Fan Wumian and Zhuang Muxi flew back to Hong Kong and continued filming "A Quiet Place 2" without stopping.

And in the mainland.

The news that he was blackmailed by a street vendor and lost several thousand dollars yesterday quickly fermented and attracted many media to follow suit.

This led to many other discussions, such as "occupying the road for business", "food safety at street stalls", "being beaten by the cake seller" and so on.

It was the third day after Fan Wumian returned to Gangcheng.

A piece of news finally reached the ears of a Yanjing reporter.

He immediately wrote an article to expose the incident, saying that Fan Wumian had actually discovered the "Kesi Dharani Sutra Quilt", Emperor Qianlong's shroud, inside the interlayer of his cassock, and that it had been sent to the Palace Museum for identification.

Probably to add to the hype, the reporter also wrote in the article
——“According to insiders, the brocade Dharani Sutra was used by the royal family and is extremely rare. Its market value is expected to reach 5000 million yuan, which is 5000 times higher than the purchase price of yuan.

Apart from the imperial mausoleums that have been banned from excavation, which may contain an unknown number of brocade Dharani Sutra covers, the only remaining one is Empress Dowager Cixi's brocade Dharani Sutra cover, which is also kept in the Forbidden City and has never been publicly displayed. It is a very rare national treasure.

Because there is no cover-up.

The whole context of the incident was sorted out in detail by reporters.

The news was published on the front page of the Yanjing Evening News, and was used as after-dinner talk by countless people. It soon appeared on TV news programs and became hot news.

Many people felt it was extremely magical after listening to it.

A fan posted online that he wanted to travel to Yanjing and stop at the gate of Fan Wumian’s courtyard to absorb more “dragon energy” and gain some good fortune.

Others accused him of harming others for his own benefit and suggested that the relevant departments confiscate his house to prevent the "dragon vein" from being stolen.

The theories about Feng Shui metaphysics are once again talked about by countless people.

In the area of ​​Yaer Hutong on the northern bank of Houhai, you can see real estate agents from morning to night, busy showing people houses.

Even old houses that were about to collapse and vacant lots that were flattened became popular items in the eyes of some wealthy people. Three courtyard houses were sold in just two days.

According to the news, one agent earned 15 yuan in commission from just one business deal.

Unfortunately, there are still many courtyard houses for sale in Yanjing, and the average transaction price remains at around 11000 yuan per square meter.
----------------

Various kinds of news spread widely.

Staying on the set of "A Quiet Place 2", Fan Wumian was not disturbed by reporters this time.

8 month 23 number.

The agent Jiang Shixi came all the way from Shenzhen to find Fan Wumian and tell him the good news:

"After more than half a month of negotiations with Gangcheng Youbang Insurance Company, they finally agreed to let you be their spokesperson. We'll sign a three-year contract at once, with a total amount of HK$3 million. That should be okay, right?"

"Youbang Insurance. This company has a lot of money. They want to use my fame to expand in the mainland market? On average, it's more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars a year. Of course, there is no problem."

While talking, Fan Wumian was having lunch.

According to the progress, the film will be completed in three or four days, and the final special effects scene is already being filmed.

Jiang Shixi nodded and said, "They seem to be planning to promote several financial insurance products. Boss, your image is quite high-end. Youbang Insurance thinks that if you are the spokesperson, it will be easier to attract the attention of middle-class and high-income customers."

"Yesterday I met several film and television company owners who came to discuss business with you. They all admired you very much. They said that no matter what you do, you can become a hot topic. I guess most of the mainland population has heard about the Dharani Sutra blanket."

"However, a reporter interviewed the vendor who was setting up the street stall, and he seemed to have changed his mind and wanted to sue you to get the treasure back."

A scoff.

Fan Wumian replied:

"I have contacted a lawyer and a settlement agreement was reached under the mediation of the patrolman. The transaction was fair, just and voluntary between the buyer and the seller, so it is definitely valid. It is also good for the stall owner to make a fuss. It helps me increase the popularity of the Dharani Sutra Quilt and have a chance to sell it at a high price at the auction house."

After the Dharani Sutra was sent to the Palace Museum for identification, it was confirmed to be an old item from the Qianlong period. Relevant evidence was also found in documents, indicating that when Qianlong was buried, he was indeed covered with a Dharani Sutra blanket.

The only uncertainty is whether this Dharani Sutra blanket was used to cover Emperor Qianlong or his queen and concubines.

There seems to be no difference, but the price difference is huge.

The tombs of Qianlong and Cixi were robbed in the early years, and the damaged bones remained in the tombs. It is estimated that no one would be stupid enough to wash the Dharani Sutra, so direct DNA testing is the most efficient method.

It will probably take a few more days to draw an accurate conclusion.

Fan Wumian choked on his fried rice, took a sip of drink to moisten his throat, and continued:

"Others only seek the limelight for pleasure, but if I keep a slightly higher profile, I can attract the attention of advertising endorsements and earn more. How can I tolerate this? It's simply forcing me to maintain a high exposure and I can't keep a low profile."

Jiang Shixi said with a smile:
"The box office of Those Years has also increased quite a bit in the past few days. Some media outlets are still rehashing old stories, saying that you bought a jade pendant worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars just to film Crazy Stone."

"As a celebrity, being high-profile makes you more talked about and easier to make money from the market. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"Many colleagues dream of being like you, making a big splash that shocks the whole country from time to time. Yesterday, a newspaper in Tokyo asked about the Dharani Sutra blanket and asked us to confirm whether the news was true."

Continuing to eat, Fan Wumian muttered:

"It's easy for wealthy businessmen to become famous, and it's easy for celebrities to be noticed. I'm involved in both now. I'm going to study at the Beijing Film Academy next month, so I'll take a few months off. I don't want to be like Britney Spears, living in a transparent glass house all day long, with my every move being watched."

Agent Jiang Shixi hesitated and reminded:

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Some media have already asked Ji Qiao about the land next to Shencheng Bay. That's the real trump card."

"How about, Mr. Fan, why don't you go to Hollywood and hide for a few months, and try to star in and invest in a few American blockbusters?"

"I heard that Hollywood actress Zeta Jones endorsed a British telecommunications company and received $2000 million in endorsement fees. This is much higher than your current endorsement fee."

Wait for Jiang Shixi to finish speaking.

Fan Wumian then told him:
"I do have two small-budget film projects, but I'm unfamiliar with the area and it's a bit risky to venture there."

"When I was chatting with Britney, she mentioned that among the top executives of Hollywood giants, some older men like handsome Asian guys like me. They seemed to be quite interested in me and even asked her for my number."

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. It is not easy to get a high-priced endorsement from abroad."

Jiang Shixi understood and looked at Fan Wumian with a strange look.

He wanted to say that he was worrying too much.

But with Fan Wumian's handsome and delicate appearance, in the eyes of some Hollywood bosses with peculiar tastes, he might be considered an "exotic oriental beauty".

Even if he just imagined it, Jiang Shixi felt terrified.

Let's skip this topic.

Jiang Shixi said again:
"The Beijing Film Academy wants you to speak on behalf of the freshmen, but it seems like you haven't given them an accurate answer yet, boss."

"Oh yeah, let's talk about it later. After I finish filming A Quiet Place 2, I plan to take a few days off before reporting back."

Rest is just an excuse.

The fact is that Zuo Ziyan wanted to go to Paris, France with him for a few days before school started.

Fan Wumian has never been to Paris, and does not have any "Paris romantic filter". He only remembers it being mentioned in a short video, saying that there was puppy poop everywhere and thieves all over the streets.

The two have been separated for a month, and Fan Wumian also wants to meet her to avoid the relationship being diluted by long-distance relationship.

After lunch.

Continue filming in the abandoned dock warehouse.

There is a long scene at the end, the main plot is that Zhuang Muxi actively attracted the monster in order to save people. Even after several gasoline barrels exploded, the monster remained unharmed.

According to Fan Wumian's setting, the monster's only weakness is near the ear, and its fatal point will only be exposed when stimulated by certain high-frequency sounds.

It is invulnerable to swords and guns, and its claws can pierce through 30 cm thick steel plates. Coupled with its ultra-fast movement speed, it is what caused humans to retreat step by step and suffer heavy casualties.

There was nothing wrong with the setting, but Zhuang Muxi was performing a one-man show and she couldn't find her groove this afternoon.

Fan Wumian helped to come up with a bad idea. He asked her to imagine that their secret affair was exposed and they were being chased by Miss Zuo with a machete.

I have to say, the effect is quite good. Emotions such as anxiety, worry, and fear are all written on her face.
