Chapter 240 You know

The second day of formal classes.

Yang Mi entered the classroom and saw that Fan Wumian had not come yet. She could not help but send a message, which read
——"Boss, are you sleeping in? Class is about to start!"

After more than half an hour, Fan Wumian, who woke up naturally, replied:
——"I have already taken a long vacation and started preparing for a new crew. You should work hard and study hard. I have confidence in you."

"."

When Yang Mi saw the word "long vacation", she was shocked.

She had just entered university and it took her a while for her to change her mindset.

When I was a class monitor in high school, I subconsciously felt that not going to school was a serious matter in itself.

Then I thought again.

Only then did he realize that the courses taught in college were actually of no help to Fan Wumian.

Just like NBA Hall of Fame stars, it is difficult to really learn anything by attending a junior high school basketball summer camp as a student, except wasting time.

What's more, some classmates just want to gain benefits from Fan Wumian, and would never try to invite him to activities like going shopping or dining out.

Yang Mi had discovered this a long time ago.

Because she herself had encountered a similar situation, the relationships between her other roommates were obviously closer, and they even jokingly envied her for being able to get close to someone early on, using very expensive skin care products, and having the opportunity to join a film crew.

Yesterday in the cafeteria, I met three other roommates for dinner, but Yang Mi was not among them.

She was worried that the situation would become awkward, so she pretended not to see it. In the end, it was Shi Xian from the next dormitory who took the initiative to come to Yang Mi with a tray of food in hand to chat.

Of course.

Regarding the enthusiastic actions of "little cow" Shi Xian.

Yang Mi felt that she had some big plans and seemed to want to be her boss, so she subconsciously raised her vigilance.
In fact, it’s not really xenophobia, it’s just that birds of a feather flock together.

With Fan Wumian's fame and financial resources, even if he took the initiative to lower his posture and wanted to make friends with others, it would be rather troublesome.

Some male classmates who get close to him will be regarded as flatterers and lackeys.

Pretty girls like Shi Xian who take the initiative are also regarded as gold diggers and snobs, and are talked about behind their backs.

Originally he wanted to relive the good old days in college, but the problem was that Fan Wumian didn't want to put on airs, so others labeled him as "not the same kind of person".

Zhuang Muxi didn't quite understand this situation, but Miss Zuo was exceptionally calm.

High school years.

The boys in Trinity College are crazy about Zuo Ziyan, but there are only a few girls who have a good relationship with her.

For this reason, I even thought about transferring to a prestigious private school with expensive tuition fees. At least everyone there is in good condition and it would be more comfortable to get along with them.

Anyway, after getting the support of Principal Cao, Fan Wumian's life became easier again.

I sleep until I wake up naturally in the morning, go out for a walk, watch the old men walking their birds and playing chess, and walk to No. 28 Di'anmen West Street to discuss with the designer how to renovate the house.

The Olympic Games will be held in two years, and there will be a wave of tourism to Yanjing. It would be a pity not to seize the opportunity to earn some room fees.

There are a total of 82 guest rooms, including two luxurious suites. Currently, labor costs and material costs are very low, with an average decoration cost of about RMB 15 per room.

The wood used for sofas, wardrobes, wooden beds and other furniture is made of huanghuali wood from Vietnam, and the floor tiles are modern imitation gold bricks. The style is neo-Chinese.

Including other expenses, the total investment is estimated to be around RMB 2000 million.

The renovation funds can be paid in installments, so there is no pressure. Fan Wumian only holds a 35% stake, and he can earn the money back by helping Zhuang Muxi take on more endorsements.

After finishing my work in the morning, I talked with the gold medal producer of Sapphire Blue Music Company on the phone in the afternoon. I sang "Memories", "something just like this", "that girl" and a magical brainwash song "wellerman" over the phone.

Together with the song that was previously posted on Youtube, it makes a perfect mini album with five songs.

Due to the lack of fan base in Europe and the United States, Fan Wumian did not have high expectations for sales, and focused on the Asian region, hoping to relieve the pressure on cash flow with this special pure English version of the mini album.
At this moment.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Wumian took a bus to Panjiayuan Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market, intending to buy a few koi fish for Zhuang Muxi.

The small fish pond in her yard is still idle. After filling it with tap water and drying it for a few days, it can be used to raise fish.

Walk forward with your hands in your pockets.

You can see banners hanging in front of antique shops, which read: "Celebrating the successful auction of our store, the blue and white underglaze red sea dragon large celestial globe vase from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty was sold for 1288 million! All products in our store are % off!"

Fan Wumian smacked his lips and said with emotion:

"There are still many rich people. Why do I always feel that the more money I make, the less money I have? My money is always tight. I have already started to consider holding a concert in advance to try to get some tickets."

Assistant Pu Jiajing was busy watching the fun. He spent 10 yuan to buy a small gourd, played with it in his hand, and replied:

"You can try not to invest overseas. You will definitely not be able to spend all the money you earn. You have to add hundreds of millions to Penguin stocks. Even a bank at home cannot afford such a toss. Otherwise, you can give me 1 million and I will save it for you?"

Fan Wumian glanced at her and said:

"If I wasn't worried about you suing me for workplace harassment, I would have teased you a little. You're not very old, but you have some beautiful ideas."

For a moment, Pu Jiajing didn't understand the meaning.

A lot of pressure is self-imposed.

Thinking of swallowing an elephant with a snake, he really took a big step.

There is nothing much to say about Penguin Stock. The key is the land on the seaside of Shencheng Bay. After a year, he will probably need to pay out a capital of about 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

It is not clear how much the Penguin stock price will rise by then. In order to avoid financial constraints, Fan Wumian can only continue to be a model worker and find ways to make more profitable movies.

Although he is worth more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, he seems like a star who was forced to complete a gambling agreement, and his daily life lacks a sense of relaxation.

Just found an aquarium store.

His agent Jiang Shixi called and told him awkwardly:

"Mr. Fan, there is something I don't know how to say."

Fan Wumian said vigilantly:

"Based on my experience, if you start with this sentence, it's bound to be bad news. What happened? Did a reporter find some dirt on me?"

On the other side of the phone.

Jiang Shixi laughed awkwardly and said:

"No, I'm helping you negotiate a deal. There's a South Korean skincare company that wants you to be its spokesperson."

"The person in charge is a woman, nearly 40 years old, and not bad looking. Her secretary just contacted me and told me that she can sign me for $150 million per year, but I have to have dinner with her."

"The problem is that I only offered two years and $120 million. You know the extra money."

"."

Fan Wumian's face was filled with black lines.

With a surprised tone, he lowered his voice and asked:

"You mean, she wants to hook up with me? Have a relationship that ends at dawn?"

After Jiang Shixi finished speaking, he heaved a sigh of relief and explained:
"From what I heard, that's about it. The female boss of this company comes from a very powerful family in South Korea. Her father's total assets exceed 16 billion US dollars. She probably dates a lot of male celebrities."

"How do you know she does this a lot?"

"Because she is very experienced, she also said that we need to sign a confidentiality agreement and meet at her hotel so that we will definitely not be photographed by paparazzi or something like that."

".As expected of a South Korean chaebol, they just throw money at whoever they like."

Fan Wumian finished his sigh and said with a smile:
"I thought that at my level, I wouldn't have to deal with these tricks. Does she think I don't need this endorsement?"

Agent Jiang Shixi said with a smile:

"Who would complain about having too much money? As a man, I won't suffer too much. But Mr. Fan, you definitely don't have to. I'm just telling you. Do you reject me directly?"

".Is there any need to ask this? Of course I can't agree to this. If you can make money standing still, why would you want to be a gigolo?"

If you’re in the entertainment industry, you’re bound to come into contact with this kind of thing.

There are also female fans who pay out of their own pockets to invite their idols to film with them and give them all kinds of gifts. There are many examples of successful seduction of gigolos, most of whom are third- and fourth-tier celebrities.

Even Zhuang Muxi would occasionally receive invitations to certain "dinner parties".

Just last month, a wealthy Malaysian businessman sent her a check for NT$300 million and mentioned in the letter that he would send a private jet to pick her up.

Zhuang Muxi doesn't lack this little money, but others may not be able to resist such temptation.

Fan Wumian reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted. Many rich girls pursued him, but no one tried to use money to make him lie down.

The South Korean entertainment industry is very complicated.

Judging from the extremely high suicide rate in the Korean entertainment industry, it would obviously be a disaster for many stars without any foundation to be targeted by chaebols.

Fan Wumian rarely meets such a rich woman who actually wants to seduce him. He just thinks it's funny.

Instead, they began to consider how to suppress the upcoming "Korean Wave".

If it were just a TV show, it would be fine.

The problem is that with the invasion of Korean culture, cars, electronic products, home appliances, cosmetics, etc. have also become popular, making a lot of money in the mainland market.

Not only is the wealth flowing into other people's fields, but film and television drama themes that cannot pass the review in the mainland can be introduced from South Korea to online video platforms. This kind of competition is obviously unreasonable.

As an insider, Fan Wumian certainly wasn't convinced and was even more annoyed by these thieves frantically stealing the cultural heritage left by their ancestors.

Many scripts that cannot pass review in the mainland can be filmed in Hong Kong without any problems.

As long as we seize their market share and make it difficult for the film and television companies that produce Korean dramas to make much money, it will be difficult for the market size to expand and enter a virtuous circle.

I'm currently preparing to shoot "The Lonely and Great God".

Fan Wumian intends to use this opportunity to remind his colleagues that many old routines are outdated and can no longer catch the attention of young audiences.

It was just a thought before.

This time, Fan Wumian really intends to take action to stop the development momentum of Korean dramas.

In fact, with so many film and television dramas shot abroad every year, the good dramas that are truly well-known in the mainland are the best ones left after the test of time, and their quality is naturally better.

For example, a group of people were bragging about how great Indian movies were, which left Fan Wumian confused and wondering how many Indian movies they had actually seen.

While daydreaming.

He went into an aquarium store and asked the owner which type of koi was suitable for keeping outdoors.

I unexpectedly learned that the weather in Yanjing is cold in winter and the water level in the pond is less than 1.2 meters, which can easily cause the koi to freeze to death.

On the recommendation of the boss, I ended up buying only ten goldfish. It would be easy to move them to a small fish tank indoors during the cold winter months.
