Chapter 286 Talking about marriage?

The executive responsible for developing the Penguin Weibo project is named Gong Xiang.

He is only 36 years old and joined the Penguin Group very early, mainly responsible for some technical management work.

Last year, the company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and Gong Xiang also received a small amount of original shares. Now his total assets are 20 to 30 million yuan.

Two months ago, the stock price reached a "high point" of around 9 yuan.

Gong Xiang took the opportunity to cash out about 1800 million yuan and used the money to buy a Land Rover Range Rover and a Mercedes-Benz S600.

In addition, at the end of last month, he asked his wife to go to Los Angeles, USA, to buy a property.

It’s not that I want to immigrate, but I heard from my graduate school classmates who are working in the United States that housing prices have risen sharply in the United States recently, and I plan to take advantage of the opportunity to invest and make some money.

As the subprime mortgage crisis is getting closer and closer, it is obviously a case of jumping into the fire pit.

Sometimes a single thought can completely change the trajectory of your life.

Gong Xiang watched the Penguin Group's stock price soar, but felt that the company was not worth that much money. Its net profit this year was expected to be only more than 4 million yuan. Incubating new projects cost too much money, but the returns brought were very limited.

This made him believe the outside world's claim that "the price-to-earnings ratio is too high, reflecting a serious bubble in the stock price."

Besides.

Foreign countries are always saying that the mainland economy is about to collapse, which has really fooled a group of wealthy people. As soon as they make a little money, they can't wait to find a "safe haven for funds".

He sneered at the waterfront villas in Shenzhen that cost tens of millions of RMB each, the Yanjing courtyard houses, and the old houses in Shanghai, and kept muttering at home that only fools would buy them.

But he found the loan to buy a $310 million beach house in Malibu, Los Angeles, very tempting.

It turns out.

The reason why some people can get rich overnight is simply because they choose the right platform and have good luck. It does not mean that they can win every time.

Many times, even if you are at the forefront of the trend, you still need sufficient vision and ability to manage your own wealth. If you can't make it clear, you may easily mistake opportunities for your real abilities.

We don’t know yet, but we have already ruined a good hand.

now.

Gong Xiang sat in front of the computer, stroking the stubble on his chin, and asked curiously:
"What on earth is going on in the mind of a young man like Mr. Fan? He actually named himself the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult Leader. Is there any meaning behind this?"

A project director in a blue shirt reported with a bright smile:

"I've had someone check it out. It seems that it's because Mr. Fan opened a cat cafe in Wanghai Tower in Yanjing, raising cats in the cafe to attract customers. The name of the sign is called 'Holy Flame Meow Meow'. Some tourists took photos and posted them on the forum."

"The online name doesn't matter. Using such a name will easily attract the attention of reporters and save the company a lot of operating and promotion funds."

"Mr. Gong, look at the picture he posted. When the official test is launched, it will probably become popular. Many people in the company are sharing this picture."

Penguin Weibo has not yet been opened to the public and is currently only being tested internally among employees. Extra rewards can be obtained for finding bugs.

Gong Xiang carefully looked at the photo of Fan Wumian riding a bear and secretly sighed, "Nuwa, look at this for yourself. Is this reasonable? It's too biased."

Then he thought of Fan Wumian's leverage and capital allocation from banks. He held a large number of Penguin Group shares. Gong Xiang, who had already sold most of his shares and cashed out, now hoped that the company's stock price would fall back.

Similar to other stock investors, after reducing holdings, I am most afraid that I have run away too early. Only when the stock price plummets will I appear to be more wise, and I can gain a strong sense of accomplishment.

Looking through the comments of the company's employees under the post, Gong Xiang said:
"Growing up in Hong Kong, Mr. Fan received a different education environment. His mind is indeed different from others."

"For example, the farm game project he mentioned earlier has the potential to increase user loyalty. The board of directors held a meeting to discuss it and said that as long as there are no problems with this idea, it is worth at least 5000 million RMB."

“The foreign games we represent are obviously much more exciting than the games developed by our company, but I don’t know how long their popularity will last.”

Having studied in the United States, Gong Xiang subconsciously feels that he is better than others. There is a strong flavor of "public intellectual" in Gong Xiang's words.

The project director didn't like this boss, but he had to be humble when working for a living, so he immediately replied:

"The game development department is still recruiting. The board of directors feels that the agency fees are too high and that many games can be made by ourselves. We have already started planning some new projects. It is not difficult to find online game developers, but it is more troublesome to plan a game from scratch. We are trying to find a solution."

"Well, there are so many online games on the market now, at worst, we can just borrow some good ideas, that's safer."

Speaking of games, Gong Xiang remembered one thing.

He continued to the project manager:

"Mr. Fan recently launched a TV series with a funny martial arts style. What's its name? I think I saw news somewhere saying that it is preparing to develop an online game with the same name?"

The project manager asked tentatively:

". "Legends of Sword and Fairy"? I only know that there was a "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the first half of the year, which was adapted from an online game into a TV series. Mr. Fan did the opposite. I guess he thought it would be more profitable. It wouldn't cost too much to develop it into a web game."

Gong Xiang has not paid attention to it and is not sure.
"It seems to be called this name. You can check it out later and ask Mr. Fan if he wants to cooperate. Our company has its own ready-made game development team. Wouldn't it be a joke to cooperate with outsiders?"

Finished in Moscow.

Fan Wumian led the crew to Budapest, Hungary. While filming, he took Zuo Ziyan on a boat ride on the Danube River to visit the Fisherman's Bastion, the Parliament Building, St. Stephen's Basilica and other attractions.

There are so many beautiful buildings in this city that even if you just pick a random place to take pictures, the picture will look special.

I had filmed some other scenes before, and in Budapest I was just "talking about love" with Zhuang Muxi.

Even though Fan Wumian was thick-skinned, he had doubts more than once during this period.

After all, during the filming, Zuo Ziyan saw him dating Zhuang Muxi, and during the break, he hung out with Miss Zuo in front of Zhuang Muxi.

This made him feel very sorry for Zhuang Muxi, and he privately reminded her that he would find a way to compensate her when he returned to Yanjing.

It's been more than a year since we started trying to date, and I've already gotten used to it.

There was no need for him to compensate her. Zhuang Muxi had disciplined herself well and didn't take it to heart.

After all, she was a latecomer who had poached Zuo Ziyan's girlfriend. She couldn't justify asking for too much and could only hope that things would work out in the end.

It’s our third day in Budapest.

The entire crew continued their journey and headed to the suburbs by minibus.

Zuo Ziyan sat by the window, looking at the sun that had just risen, and said excitedly:
"Great! It shouldn't snow today, and I can see far away. I've been looking forward to taking a hot air balloon ride, and I've even looked up how to control the equipment to prevent the rope from breaking and suddenly flying away."

"Pah, pah, pah! Children should not be restrained in their words!"

Fan Wumian quickly interrupted her, stretched his waist and said:

"I think hot air balloons are scarier than airplanes. I looked up information before and found that there are beautiful hot air balloons here, so I thought I must come here to take pictures."

Zuo Ziyan laughed at him and said:
"Are you still afraid of this? Are you afraid of heights? The hot air balloons in Budapest are not very famous. In fact, the most spectacular and shocking scene is to ride a hot air balloon on the African savannah and watch the animal migration."

"I remember that in history, someone accidentally flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters in a hot air balloon and almost froze to death due to lack of oxygen. Humans are only suitable for living on land, and it seems unreliable to tie a rope to the sky like a kite."

He just finished speaking.

Zhuang Muxi, who was sitting by the aisle, handed a bottle of mineral water to Zuo Ziyan and said with a smile:
"I'm a little afraid of heights, so it's better not to fly too high, otherwise I won't dare to look down. Plus, I have to say some lines, which makes me feel overwhelmed just thinking about it."

Zuo Ziyan looks quiet on the surface, but she is very interested in activities such as skydiving, skiing, and hiking, and even wants to go whitewater boating.

Apparently it is because life has been too smooth and comfortable since childhood, so he tries every possible way to have fun.

She leaned over to Zhuang Muxi and said:

"Don't worry, as long as you turn down the flame, the hot air balloon will slowly descend. As long as you don't jump off yourself, it will be very safe. Why doesn't anyone in Hong Kong open a travel company like this? If I can ride a hot air balloon and go off-road on a four-wheel mountain bike, I will definitely go there often."

Fan Wumian said:
"Most people only want to experience it once. I still don't understand why some people go to Hong Kong Disneyland every weekend after it opened in September and even spend a lot of money on package tickets. When I see a place that requires queuing, I walk around it because I don't have the patience to wait."

"Speaking of this, it reminds me that when Hong Kong Disneyland opened, I was already studying in the UK and had never been there."

Zuo Ziyan looked at Zhuang Muxi and asked, "Next time you are free, shall we go together?"

It feels like the boss lady is trying to win over her own employees.

Hearing this, Zhuang Muxi just nodded and replied with a bright smile:

"Okay, I often pass by Lantau Disneyland when I take a plane, but I've never been there."

Now is the off-season for tourism.

After arriving at the destination, make simple preparations and board the hot air balloon directly.

The space in the hanging basket below was too small. The photographer stood in the corner and had difficulty filming the conversation between Fan Wumian and Zhuang Muxi. The effect was not as good as expected.

A few minutes of short plot, dispensable.

After watching it, director Lin Fenyu found that it was not usable, so she simply changed the plot and re-shot it in the snow.

Finish the important work first, and then accompany Zuo Ziyan to heaven again.

This time the hot air balloon reached an altitude of 400 meters and slowly descended to about 300 meters. Zuo Ziyan lay on the side of the hanging basket and said with emotion:
"Standing high, you can see far. The scenery is really beautiful. I have to go back to England in the evening. How long will it take for us to meet again?"

There was also a licensed hot air balloon pilot in the basket.

Fan Wumian held Zuo Ziyan's cold hand and said with a smile:
"I'm busy at the end of the year, so I may not be able to see you during the Christmas and New Year holidays. Or you can come back to China and find me then."

Half jokingly and half seriously, she suddenly said:
"My mom often mentions you and asks if we should make time for a meal together. What do you think?"

".We really want to have dinner? What are we going to talk about? Marriage?"

"They may think so, but I have already rejected it for you. But it's also good to have contact occasionally. When you develop the land in Shencheng Bay, you can ask my dad if you encounter any problems. He is very knowledgeable about these things. He is a free senior consultant."
