Chapter 250: Another Failure
In just over a year.

Fan Wumian's rise was too fast, while Mantis, Youpia and the others are basically the same as before.

Like many young guys who have just entered school.

Instead of studying and improving themselves, they now prefer to focus on online games, clubbing, and girls. Last month, they even went on a group trip to Australia City, where they lost more than 2 yuan in total.

To the point that I’ve been eating instant noodles, steamed buns and bento rice balls lately, saving money to fill the gap.

It's rare to go out to eat and improve the food.

Looking at them eating tonight, they all look like starving ghosts, they are really greedy.

After listening.

Fan Wumian just felt that if he was uneducated and unskilled, he would end up knowing nothing and it would be difficult for him to help them in the future.

However, he did not give any advice or commands, because no one would like a friend who gave them "lessons" all day long.

At this moment.

Youpiao ate a piece of beef cubes with black pepper and garlic slices, and said excitedly:
"I worked so hard to earn some money, but I lost so much in Australia City. Gambling really hurts people. Boss, you have a lot of money, why don't you buy some shares of gambling companies? I've only heard that gamblers lose money, but the gambling table is sure to make money."

The fourth old meat dish also spoke up in agreement:
"What a great idea! There are so many gamblers from all over the world who like to go to Macau to gamble. Opening a casino is more profitable than opening a bank. Buying shares of gaming companies and collecting dividends every year will make you a lot of money!"

Fan Wumian shook his head and said:

"Forget it. With a dad like Silly Old Fan, I have no interest in the gambling business. But the housing prices in Macau seem to be only a few thousand yuan per square meter. It might be more profitable to speculate in real estate there than to open a casino."

"On my way back from the UK, a passenger sat behind me and chatted with her friend. She said her father sold his detached house in Australia, but the price was not enough to buy a small apartment in London. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it."

"We all need to start a family and a career in the future. Instead of living in Hong Kong, I think it's better to consider buying a house in Macau in advance."

Mantis shook his head decisively and said:
"It's okay to go there for fun. It doesn't take too long to run around the city. It would be very boring to live in that small place all day."

Oil Fat hastily retorted:
"There are bathhouses everywhere, and you can find girls from all over the world, even Indian women and golden lions. How can it be boring? But it's very convenient to take a boat there. There's no need to buy a house to live there. Besides, we don't have the money."

"."

Fan Wumian's action of showing people the way and acting as a boy who delivers money ended in failure again.

Currently, the housing price in Australia City is only five to six thousand yuan per square meter.

He clearly remembers that Mrs. Xiang, whose family was in the film and television business, once used live streaming to sell houses developed in Australia City, with an average price of 10 yuan per square meter.

In just over ten years, the value-added space is more than ten times. Considering that you can earn this money without doing anything, the rate of return is already very good.

Seeing that they didn't take his suggestion seriously, and turned to talk about the new game "KartRider" that was being tested internally by Penguin Group, Fan Wumian just ate more and talked less.

Several of my best friends are still young and are now mainly busy eating, drinking and having fun.

It seemed easier to get along with them, and Fan Wumian felt as if his mentality had become younger.

However, after they stopped studying together, they obviously had fewer and fewer common topics.

Hindsight.

He finally understood the strange feeling that the young lady had when she first started dating Zuo Ziyan, that many topics were inconvenient to talk about and many things were inconvenient to do.

Because I need to take care of my best friends' fragile self-esteem.

Some things were already commonplace to Fan Wumian, such as the extended version of Rolls-Royce Phantom he managed to buy during his stay in the UK, but he didn't even dare to mention it.

I was afraid that these bad friends would not be able to sleep when I go home at night.

In addition to "KartRider", the "Audition" game has also been acquired by Penguin Group.

Just like "World of Warcraft", the reason why Penguin paid attention to these two online games was because Fan Wumian made specific suggestions.

"KartRider" and "Audition" have no influence yet, so Penguin Group cooperated with them to negotiate agency, paying only a small price. It successfully won the agency rights of "KartRider" and directly acquired the South Korean game company that developed "Audition".

The current situation is that Penguin Group has 2 million active users, but lacks channels to monetize active users.

By deeply cultivating the online gaming field, it is easy to cultivate a "cash cow" that generates a steady stream of revenue, which is very much in line with the company's current needs.

After the company's cash flow grows, it will have the strength to develop and invest in new businesses.

For example, a few days ago, the "Penguin Weibo" project, which was also suggested by Fan Wumian, has been officially launched in a low-key manner.

The person in charge would come to ask for his opinion every now and then and start to formulate a planning plan.

Fan Wumian is quite honest by not showing off.

But Mantis wanted to be tortured, and asked:

"Boss, I saw a news report in the newspaper that said you made a lot of money by selling the TV series you bought to the TV station?" Fan Wumian said:

"It's not bad. The first broadcast rights were sold for 380 million RMB, and the rebroadcast rights were sold to two TV stations for a total of 550 million RMB."

"When can we see it in Hong Kong?"

"It should be soon. Hong Kong's No. 120 TV station has already bought the broadcasting rights for only HK$3 million, which works out to HK$200 per episode. Formosa also sold the show for over HK$ million, which has covered the cost of buying out the show."

"Wulin Waijia" has not yet been aired, and the Southeast Asian market is waiting and watching.

Because it was a TV series invested by Fan Wumian, even a TV station in Tokyo was interested, but the price offered was very low.

After hearing this, the mantis sighed and said:

"The news said you bought 80 episodes in total, but only 40 episodes were released this time. You recovered your investment with half of the show, so you made a lot of money again. But TV series are not as profitable as movies. The box office of Those Years in Hong Kong reached 6200 million."

"Yes, I didn't expect that there would be so many audiences. The box office performance in Formosa was not bad either, more than 1300 million Hong Kong dollars higher than in Hong Kong."

Fan Wumian finished speaking casually and added:
"The Cantonese market is too small, you must practice Mandarin, otherwise sometimes when we ask you to film a movie, you will encounter a lot of trouble. Next, I will shoot a TV series starring me, and then I will arrange a few minor roles for you. The parts are not too many, just think of it as earning some pocket money."

"Hmm? That's great. I just want to buy a computer so I can play World of Warcraft and it'll freeze and cause people to chase and hack me all day long."

The one who spoke was the old Five Bird King.

Fan Wumian has never given his best friends too many benefits, so providing them with some part-time jobs and opportunities to earn some pocket money would make them very happy.

During meal.

Fan Wumian received a text message from Zhuang Muxi saying that he participated in a competition today and played a Scherzo No. 2 in B minor, and got a good score.

People like him who don't know much about the subject just treat the Scherzo No. 2 in B minor as some random piece of music and it's hard to understand what's going on.

On the contrary, I feel that when I play songs like "Wedding in the Dream" and "Kikujiro's Summer", I seem to be more powerful and my piano skills are superb.

After replying to Zhuang Muxi's text message, he took the initiative to send a message to Miss Zuo, so as to avoid being seen as running away and turning his back on her.

We chatted in the hotel private room until about 8:.

As soon as Fan Wumian walked out of the hotel, he unexpectedly received a call from a person he didn’t contact often. The other party was the agent he had arranged for Silly Old Fan.

The agent's name is Guo Zhihong, and he said anxiously on the phone:

"Mr. Fan, a casting director just contacted me and wants your dad to play a wealthy businessman in the movie "Baby Project" invested by Jack Long. They promised to pay 88 Hong Kong dollars, but there is a special request that needs to be discussed with you first."

".What kind of request?"

The pay amount is auspicious.

With Sha Lao Fan’s status, he is not worth so much money.

Fan Wumian thought that it might be because he had helped Jack Long last time, both by making a cameo appearance and singing the theme song for the movie "The Myth", that Jack Long reciprocated the favor by choosing Silly Old Fan as a supporting role, taking the opportunity to repay him a small favor.

Previously, the crew arranged a small role for Liu Shishi, but the salary was only 20 Hong Kong dollars.

Silly Old Fan's agent continued over the phone:

"The crew wants to use your Repulse Bay 89 mansion to film some scenes, but they said they will only film the yard, living room, kitchen and other places, and will not disclose your privacy. They must be trying to take advantage of the opportunity to hype it up."

We're just borrowing the house for filming, so of course there's no problem.

Without hesitation, he helped Silly Old Fan to agree, and then he began to worry that his cheap father would spend the money lavishly after receiving the film salary.

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

The reason why Silly Old Fan got such a nickname is mainly because he has very bad luck and likes to give money to others. Sometimes he just got his salary and lost it all at the mahjong table right after.

When Fan Wumian was a child, his tuition fees were all lost to him by the silly old Fan. He still had no school uniform to wear more than a month after school started. The news was quickly spread by gossips, so he got the nickname "Silly Man".

but.

Since it was the money earned by his cheap dad himself, Fan Wumian thought it had nothing to do with him and was too lazy to worry about it.

Whether you spend it or lose it in gambling, just don't go too far.

Only said to agent Guo Zhihong:
"As long as you don't mess up your home, there's no problem with going to the location. Just let me know before filming. Also, has my dad been gambling more and more recently? If there's a trend, tell me immediately, and remember to spread the word for me. Regardless of whether he borrowed money from outside using my name, I won't help pay back a single cent."

Guo Zhihong grew up in Stanley, a city in Hong Kong. Of course, he knows that there are many codebreakers who like to set traps for celebrity parents and cheat them out of a large sum of money.

He said to Fan Wumian:
"It's not bad. Sometimes I lose 7,000 to 8,000 yuan in a game of mahjong. When I go to Macau, I only play in the lobby. He has taken on a lot of roles recently, but there is still no money in his account. He keeps urging me to help him get more roles..."
