Chapter 323 Boss Mai
the next day.

Fan Wumian arrived at the Hong Kong International Airport in a low-key manner and waited patiently in a business car.

It's about 10 o'clock in the evening.

Zuo Ziyan came over with a suitcase, got into the car happily, and said with a smile:
"I'm so tired! My waist is about to break. There's a British woman with a baby sitting nearby. Although the little boy is very cute, he's only three years old and very energetic. He always asks questions and disturbs my sleep."

They often video chat with each other online and have met three times in the past six months. Their relationship has not become distant.

Fan Wumian asked her:

"Come to my place and rest first. I bought you a burger on the way here. It's already cold. Just make do with it."

"Thank you. I was so sleepy on the plane that I lost my appetite. I'm just hungry now."

Zuo Ziyan leaned closer to him and lowered her voice, whispering:

"I lied to my parents again this time, telling them I wouldn't be back until tomorrow night, and that they'd better stay at your house and not go out. If I run into someone I know, I'll be in trouble."

After helping her open the burger wrapper, Fan Wumian handed her the orange juice and said:

"You will probably sleep during the day due to jet lag. I have an appointment with the people at the music studio and need to write three new songs as soon as possible. I don't think I can stay with you all the time."

Zuo Ziyan had already heard about the challenge and said speechlessly:

"Mai Shuli is playing a fool, and you actually played along with him? It's fine if you win against him, but if you lose, I want to see how you end up. You shouldn't have agreed to something that has no benefit from the beginning, or you'll end up capsizing in the gutter."

Fan Wumian looked at her and said:
"Don't worry about how it will end, just beat him."

"Just think of me as childish. At least the entire Chinese music scene is paying attention to the competition between me and King Back. It seems that some underground casinos are considering opening bets. It turns out that anything can be gambled on."

"The media said that I dominated the Chinese music scene last year. If I win this competition, my name will be on the top ten hot news in the entertainment industry this year."

Zuo Ziyan muttered while eating a hamburger:
"Before you win, you first think about what to do if you win. This is a typical gambler's mentality."

"Do you remember the script of Those Years? There's a line in it where girls always grow up before boys. It seems to be true. Your family assets are greater than mine now. It's not wise to act so impulsively."

"You're already the best pop singer, why would you bother with that guy? Besides, singing competitions aren't exams. They're too subjective and can easily go wrong."

Fan Wumian pinched her cheeks and said with a smile:

"There's nothing we can do. The media is fanning the flames, and it's now escalating to the level of a dispute between the Chinese music scene and South Korean K-pop. Mr. Mai is also having a hard time. He previously made harsh remarks to the public, saying that the traditional Chinese music scene has declined, and is now being criticized by a bunch of veteran first- and second-tier singers."

".Really? The latest news? I didn't see it when I was on the plane. There's nothing I can do about it. You must cheer up."

Zuo Ziyan's mouth corners turned up:
"As long as you win the competition and take advantage of the popularity this time, you will be the new king among the younger generation of singers."

"Why do we need to wait? I have become a superstar, and almost all young people can't avoid my songs when they go to KTV to sing."

"That's right, I've only been studying at Cambridge University for one semester, and you've already become more powerful."

Zuo Ziyan felt that she had not changed much, but Fan Wumian had changed a lot.

Because of his dazzling achievements in the entertainment industry, people often overlook other things.

For example, the total market value of Penguin Group has soared from around HK$72 billion in the first half of last year to HK$185 billion recently.

Fan Wumian has made more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars by investing in penguin stocks.

Youtube, which invested in Silicon Valley, has also seen a crazy increase in users, with a market valuation of around 2.5 million US dollars. Its rise is simply unreasonable, and it is currently trying to raise another round of B financing.

Fan Wumian owns a 25% stake in Youtube, which is worth more than million US dollars, which always makes Zuo Ziyan feel incredible.

When Fan Wumian decided to invest last year, she was still worried about being cheated. However, just over half a year later, she actually made 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

Until recently.

Only then did Miss Zuo realize how huge the profits he made were, which were more than what her family had accumulated for several generations.

It was already late at night when we drove back to Repulse Bay from the airport.

They were both sleepy, so they just washed up and went to bed.
----------------

Get up early and do morning exercises.

Birds chirped outside, and sunlight filtered through the white gauze curtains onto the wooden floor.

Zuo Ziyan's bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to her cheeks. She felt more tired than when she took the plane yesterday.

His smooth shoulders were exposed outside the blanket. He really didn't want to move, so he stretched out his hand and asked Fan Wumian to help him pour a glass of water.

Bringing the cup of water with a winner's attitude, Fan Wumian said proudly:
"You are defeated, but you still keep talking tough."

Zuo Ziyan just smiled, feeling satisfied, and told the story as if it were a funny thing:

"Universities in the UK are very open, and there are many couples living together off campus. They thought I was single and there were always people trying to woo me. It would be great if you could live with me, so we could date every day."

"Last month, a senior from our department suddenly got pregnant. Her boyfriend didn't want the baby, but she still decided to give birth to the baby and give it to someone else to raise."

"It's hard to imagine, but many British girls are religious and have old-fashioned ideas. Some places still use Victorian laws, believing that not having a baby is illegal and can result in life imprisonment."

Pack your clothes and get ready to take a shower and go out.

Fan Wumian shrugged and said:
"In the past, the West accused us of being feudal and conservative, and considered it a sign of social backwardness. Now the tide has turned, and they are like antiques. You must not be brainwashed, just learn how to manage a business well."

"Of course, I have nothing in common with white girls. I usually hang out with girls from Hong Kong," Zuo Ziyan said before she finished.

The maid, Mrs. Wu, knocked on the door gently and whispered, "Master? Are you awake?"

"Ok?"

"Boss Mai from Wangcai Capital just sent someone to invite you to the Repulse Bay Golf Club at 2 o'clock this afternoon."

Mrs. Wu continued through the door:
"The secretary also brought a gift, a box of Cohiba cigars."

"I see. Did the person leave?"

"Still at the door, Master."

"Oh, then ask him to leave his contact information and discuss it directly with Boss Mai on the phone. I don't know how to play golf."

"OK."

Sitting beside the bed, Fan Wumian cleaned up the scene himself to avoid being seen by the servant Mrs. Wu and being killed on the spot.

He couldn't help laughing:

"Young people are ignorant and like to act without thinking and on impulse. I said before that I would complain to Mai Shuli's father, but I didn't expect his father to send someone to contact me first. Cohiba cigars, are they expensive?"

Zuo Ziyan was well aware of these things. She said while putting on her pajamas:
"It's OK. It depends on what kind it is. It can range from a few hundred pounds to a few thousand or even tens of thousands of pounds. I don't think it's the cheapest."

"Then bring it to your dad later. I don't want to get addicted."

"Even if you don't smoke, you can't hurt my dad. Be careful or my mom will beat you up."

A wealthy family wouldn't mind these little things.

Fan Wumian thought about it and decided to give it to Silly Old Fan. The old man at home had all the five poisons and would accept anything, so he would most likely like cigars.

Zuo Ziyan spoke again:

"Mr. Mai must be looking for you to discuss his son's matter."

"Mai Shuli dared to joke about his own future. Of course his father didn't want to take the risk. After all, your strength is there. If he loses, the Mai family will lose face."

"After all, it's just a dispute of pride. I think it will piss Mr. Mai off to death. I guess I want to advise you to take a step back and not get angry with Mai Shuli."

Fan Wumian smiled and said:
"It was his son who started this whole thing, so if anyone should step down, it should be Mai Shuli. If I had given birth to a son like this, I would have donated him to someone else to raise. When I thought about this, my blood pressure instantly went up."

Be alert immediately.

Zuo Ziyan crossed her hands in front of her chest, made an "X" gesture, and said in advance:
"I will wait until I am at least 30 before I consider getting pregnant. The idea of ​​you thinking about having a child is very dangerous."

".Don't worry, I don't want to be a father so early."

Rolling his eyes, Fan Wumian sighed:
"Luckily, Mr. Mai has many children. If one fails, he can train another. It's pitiful that he still has to worry about these things at such an old age."

"Don't laugh. It's you who is angry with Mai Shuli. I suspect his fate is strongly suppressed by you."

"You can't say that. There are so many people in the circle, but he just wants to pick on me."

After taking a shower and cleaning up.

As soon as Fan Wumian came downstairs, Mrs. Wu handed him her business card.

The personal business card of Wangcai Capital Chairman Ma Jicheng is made of pure silver and engraved with intricate patterns, which is full of texture.

In contrast, Fan Wumian didn't even print his business cards. He was just curious about how much it would cost to make a business card with silver.

I had breakfast first and then called Boss Mai.

Just after he reported his name, Fan Wumian heard Boss Mai on the other end of the phone, laughing:

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't discipline him well, and I let that brat get into trouble again. When I heard you sing at the competition, I knew you had unlimited potential. My brat is far inferior to you, so don't act on impulse with him."

To be able to grow such a big business, you must have some brains.

It is a fact that Mai Shuli's achievements are not as good as Fan Wumian's. If Boss Mai says a few polite words, he will have the opportunity to help his son keep his hard-earned career.

In the future, as long as he works steadily in filming, singing and taking on endorsements, it is possible to earn tens of millions a year. But if he loses the competition and becomes a laughing stock, it will be difficult for him to survive in the future, and it will also bring shame to Boss Mai.

Comparing singing with Fan Wumian is obviously thankless and risky.

Mai Shuli was confused and confused, but Boss Mai had to think more about it, so he took the initiative to find Fan Wumian, hoping to mediate the conflict.

Across the phone, Fan Wumian replied:
"You can't blame me for this. He first pointed out that I was behind the scenes and affected the development of Penguin Group. Later, he publicly challenged me and was instigated by the media to stir up trouble. I had no choice but to agree."

Boss Mai said decisively:
"As long as there is no problem on your side, I will take care of my son's side. We are all businessmen, and harmony brings wealth. Let's try to come up with a solution that both sides can accept. Brother, please be kind and I will give you a big gift to make amends. What do you think?"

Being called "brother" by Boss Mai, he somehow feels like a generation older than Mai Shuli.

Having said that, Fan Wumian simply said:
"I don't care. You should try to persuade your son first. The entertainment industry is not for him to get involved. The industry is about relationships and social skills. Fighting and killing all the time will give people a headache. Sooner or later, something bad will happen."

"Ugh!"

Boss Mai continued:
"It really makes me worry. I wish my son could be as good as you and make 20 billion from scratch. By the way, do you have a girlfriend? My second daughter is one year older than you, so we can be friends after a fight. How about I arrange a meal for you guys?"
