Chapter 265 I have a good idea

The news that Fan Wumian likes to buy houses has long been known.

The reason why Yu Wenfeng and Stephen Chow found him was mainly because he was not only rich but also very influential. Once the two parties joined forces to continue the development of No. 10 Poole Road, it would help increase the fame of this project.

And since they are both celebrities, it is easier for both parties to communicate.

Recently, in their cooperation with Ayaka Electric Development Group, Stephen Chow and his girlfriend encountered a lot of troubles. From the design of the house to the details of the investment, conflicts and arguments often occurred.

Before coming here, Fan Wumian had always thought that they were here to discuss cooperation in making a movie, and he never expected that they would actually come to him to speculate in real estate.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this.

He had read the news a few months ago. The media reported that there were some problems in the relationship between Yu Wenfeng and Stephen Chow. The rich girl asked Stephen Chow to give her 10% of the profits from his investment.

impression.

Fan Wumian still remembers that after they broke up after dating for more than ten years, they fought a lawsuit for several years over the issue of dividends.

Yu Wenfeng asked Stephen Chow for 8000 million Hong Kong dollars. Stephen Chow had originally agreed to pay in installments, but she insisted on paying it all in one lump sum.

In the end, Stephen Chow simply said that the mansion worth 8 million Hong Kong dollars was for him to live in, and the two parties had not drawn up a contract, so he was unwilling to give it to him, so there was no way the two sides could part ways amicably.

Based on the impression of this gossip, we can estimate the specific value of the entire project, which should not be less than 25 billion Hong Kong dollars in ten years.

Fan Wumian asked:
"Let me ask first, the project at 10 Poole Road has not started yet? What is the current situation?"

Yu Wenfeng enthusiastically introduced:

"At the beginning of last year, we spent a total of HK$3.2 million to buy the old house at 10 Poole Road. We then spent some time applying for demolition and reconstruction, dividing the land into four plots. They are 10, 12, 16 and 18 Poole Road, and we also paid tens of millions of dollars in land transfer fees and taxes."

"Now Xingzai owns No. 12 and No. 10, while No. 16 and No. 18 belong to Lingdian Development Group. The two sides are almost the same size, and No. 12 and No. 18 are the best in terms of location, with a wider view, and you can see both Victoria Harbour and the sea view to the south."

"Lingdian Development Group hopes to sell the two plots of land for HK$2.1 million. The subsequent reconstruction and renovation of the two mansions will cost about HK$1 million. The recent property market is very good. Master Fan will definitely make a profit if he buys it."

Since we started discussing the Shenzhen City Bay project.

Fan Wumian himself is no longer very interested in real estate speculation.

However, he was considering giving Zhuang Muxi a mansion to live in for free while the price was low, so that he could date her in the future.

The privacy of the mountaintop villa is relatively high, and it is not easy to be caught by others.

If you buy these two plots of land, you only need to keep one of the two houses in the future. The money earned from selling one may offset the cost of the other, which is equivalent to getting something for nothing and picking up a mansion worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars for free.

After thinking for a while, Fan Wumian asked:
"Can we negotiate the price?"

Mr. Xing shook his head slowly and said:
"We can talk, but the price won't go down much. The offer wasn't high to begin with."

"I used the money I earned from investing in Kung Fu last year to buy a shop on Granville Road in Tsim Sha Tsui worth HK$2.1 million. If I had known that Ayakata was planning to sell these two plots of land, I would definitely not have bought the shop at that time."

"Then we can cooperate to make two movies and try to earn back the money we spent on building the building through the box office. You shouldn't suffer any loss."

"Also, you have so many assets that you can buy them with a credit loan with zero down payment. I think the future growth of the property market will definitely outperform the bank interest."

It can be clearly heard that Stephen Chow is reluctant to part with these two pieces of land in excellent locations.

However, his funds have already been invested in residential houses and shops, and he cannot squeeze out extra funds. Even if he wants to acquire the land owned by Ayakata Development Group, he is powerless.

Worried that Ayano Development Group would look for a buyer on its own and might be in a bad mood if it encountered a difficult partner, Stephen Chow hoped that Fan Wumian would agree to invest, and even took the initiative to propose co-producing two films.

Hearing these words, Fan Wumian instantly perked up.

Speaking of business, he said:
"I would love to be able to make a movie with a big boss, but I would like to ask first, how will the construction of No. 10 Poole Road be arranged?"

Yu Wenfeng explained:

"Don't worry about that. We have already contacted a construction company for bidding. If you like other styles, you can also pay extra money to discuss with the construction company. Your European-style mansion is more beautiful, but the cost is much higher than the modern style."

"Oh, I'm mainly worried that I won't have time to take care of that."

As a top star.

Being labeled a "house flipper addict" actually has its advantages.

He usually just sits at home, but some developers actually come to him and hope to give him luxury houses for free, and only ask Fan Wumian to visit him occasionally and help improve the image of the property.

For example, Dongshan Villa in Yanjing. Since asking Fan Wumian to help promote it, more than ten units have been sold in more than half a month, and it has already begun to show signs of becoming the "No. 1 luxury house in Yanjing".

Gangzi from Deyunshe also bought an apartment at a discounted price, and the reporter also dug out the specific house number.

Later, Shimao Sheshan Manor in Shanghai also followed suit.

He took the initiative to contact the agent Jiang Shixi and offered him a French-style villa with a construction area of ​​600 square meters and a 4-acre yard for free.

Now, even if some lower-grade real estate developers want to give away houses for free to take advantage of his popularity, Fan Wumian is unwilling to take them, fearing that he will lose out on other developers who go for the high-end luxury route and make money faster than taking endorsements.

Many luxury homes in the mainland lack liquidity. Often, sellers set a high price, but no buyers are willing to take it. The main reason is that there is too much land supply and it is not scarce.

There is no need to worry in Hong Kong City. There are a limited number of luxury homes on the Peak, and every one that comes out is quickly snatched up at a high price.

With a potential profit of more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars involved, and the opportunity to get in touch with Stephen Chow, Fan Wumian nodded decisively:
"Okay, after we finish eating, I'll go take a look first. I can offer 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Sister Wen, please help ask the seller. It's best not to tell them that the buyer is me. I'm afraid they will use my name to sell it at a high price."

Only bargained down to HK$1000 million.

The main reason is that there is no other land for sale on the market, so there is not much room for negotiation. In terms of environment and geographical location, it is actually better than Zuo Ziyan's "dowry".

After eating curry beef brisket rice, we took buses to No. 10 Poole Road.

After reading it and finding nothing wrong with it, Yu Wenfeng contacted the chairman of Lingdian Development Group in front of Fan Wumian.

The other party is more straightforward.

When he learned that the contract could be signed at any time and the full payment could be made within 10 days, he immediately agreed to the deal.

As for bank loans.

Fan Wumian just made a phone call to the senior executives of Bank of China Hong Kong. When the other party learned that he was going to cooperate with Stephen Chow to develop No. 10 Poole Road, he agreed to lend money with zero down payment without saying a word.

Finished with this.

He visited Stephen Chow in the mansion he temporarily rented and discussed collaborating on making a movie.

When Stephen Chow was making tea himself, the lid of the tea bowl accidentally got turned upside down in the cup, and it got so hot that he couldn't take it out. The scene was a bit awkward.

Fan Wumian pretended not to see it and said:
"If you don't have a good script, I have a good idea."

Even though Mr. Xing had seen many storms, he still felt very embarrassed at this moment. He used the tongs to dig for a long time before taking out the cup lid. He asked calmly:
"Oh? Tell me first. I have a few scripts here, but I'm not very satisfied with any of them. I always feel that many things have changed. I can't find the feeling of filming in the past. Maybe retreating behind the scenes to become a director and investor is more suitable for me. It's hard for me to act in a comedy myself anymore."

"Boss, you are still very funny in the eyes of the audience. Maybe there is something wrong with your mentality. Many comedians will face this dilemma."

Fan Wumian waited for a long time without even drinking a sip of tea. He just watched Master Xing rinse the cup and the covered bowl.

He continued:
"I want to try to make a series of movies called Detective Chinatown. We will work together and you will play my cousin who is a private detective in Thailand, and I will play a genius detective."

Feeling a little interesting, Master Xing smiled for the first time:
"Tell me more, has the script been written?"

"Not yet, but I have already prepared a draft. As long as you are interested, I can finish the script within a month."

If it were Stephen Chow played more than a decade later, Fan Wumian would definitely not let him play the role, mainly because his personality was becoming more and more paranoid and serious, and he had lost his sense of humor.

In 2005, Stephen Chow was still old. Just look at last year's "Kung Fu" and you will know that his acting skills are still online.

Pushing the cup to Fan Wumian, Stephen Chow joked:
"It's being said outside that I'm a tyrant on the set. Almost everyone who has worked with me is scolding me. Aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's all about making a good movie and then releasing it to make money. As long as I perform well, why would I be scolded by you?"

"However, the audiences are already tired of the many routines of Hong Kong movies. This time I plan to make a comedy blockbuster, using your comedy style and matching my script."

"If you want to be the director, then you will be in charge. If you don't want to be the director, then I will shoot it myself. The Hong Kong film industry is too particular about social etiquette, and my popularity is not that good."

Listen to what Fan Wumian said.

Star Master laughed and said:

"I want to be a director partly to make money, and partly because it's hard to meet a good director. If you can meet my requirements and make a movie with a very serious and picky attitude, then of course I'm willing to save some trouble. I'll need HK$1 million to build a building later, which is a lot of money."

Shrugging his shoulders, Fan Wumian replied:
"The money I made from the entertainment industry has also been invested. If you work with me, at least you don't have to worry about conflicts over money. After all, looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, no one earns as much as I do. I continue to be in the entertainment industry just out of interest."

".That's true. I've made dozens of movies, but I still don't make as much as you do with one. You just took the land worth 2 million Hong Kong dollars. If you don't know, you would think you were just buying roast goose on the street."
