Chapter 328 Idol Girl Group
It is a rare opportunity to transform Mandou Model Company, and boss Qu Mingan is particularly enthusiastic.

He took the initiative and only asked Fan Wumian to pay 100 million Hong Kong dollars as start-up capital, and he would take care of the rest.

When the time comes, a new entertainment company will be established, with Mandou Model Company holding 51% of the shares and Fan Wumian holding 49%.

It is equivalent to Fan Wumian only providing a little bit of resources, and half of the money earned from creating the idol group will be given to him.

Fan Wumian is not very interested in creating a girl group.

Market competition is extremely fierce. In the more than 21 years since the st century, the only successful examples in the Chinese-speaking region seem to be SEH and Twinss.

I just picked up a small business. I'm too lazy to spend too much time and energy on it. At most, I can be a consultant and occasionally help out with some ideas.

Baby Yang may not be good at being an actress, but she is more than qualified to be a traffic idol. With her delicate little mixed-race face, she may have the chance to get more advertising endorsements.

I found no reason to refuse.

Fan Wumian just went with the flow and agreed to it temporarily.

Let’s go back to the office to discuss.

Fan Wumian said, speaking from a business perspective:
"Since you have decided to do this, you must do this business well. I don't have time to take care of other things. You can find some South Korean consultants to help. However, the creation of the idol group and the selection of members need to be handed over to me for interviews and review. You can't interfere, okay?"

With Fan Wumian's strength and resources, he can completely abandon Qu Mingan and work alone. How could Boss Qu let go of the rich man who was clinging to his thighs? He immediately stated:
"Good! When it comes to picking people, you're much better than me. For example, Feng Ying'er, the runner-up in the last school beauty contest, was admired by some modeling agencies in Japan and Singapore. I didn't expect you to sign her first."

Fan Wumian smiled happily and added:

"Building a girl group is very particular. It requires coordinating the selection of people with good looks, dancing and singing. The matching dance consultant and music director are also very important. Boss Qu, how much money are you going to invest? It will be difficult to start a group with low capital. A promotion may cost millions. I will help you when the time comes, but some expenses are unavoidable."

An idea to transform the company suddenly came up. Qu Mingan had not thought through many things yet. After a moment of hesitation, he said tentatively:
"I should invest 400 million Hong Kong dollars in the initial stage, right? It should be enough to last for a while and build this group."

"In addition, there are tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the trust fund, with an annual yield of about 10%. It will mature at the end of August this year, and early redemption will result in a loss of a lot of interest."

"I will certainly not slack off if I have the opportunity to cooperate with you, Mr. Fan. You don't have to worry about the start-up capital."

Just make a simple estimate.

The company and venue are already available, so there is no need to move out from Mandou Model Company.

The rest is recruiting people, signing contracts to train trainees, creating songs for debut, etc.

There is no need to worry about the promotion and marketing. Fan Wumian can guide them personally and use Penguin Weibo, Shanzeiwang Media and Tudou to help them increase their exposure.

of course.

These resources are charged, but they can be given at a discounted price.

After a rough estimate, Fan Wumian nodded and said:
"It will be enough in the early stage. We will select a group of people first, provide them with dormitories and training grounds, and then select the best talents from them."

"It is best if the girl group members come from various places. Three members will be from the mainland, three from Taiwan, and three from Hong Kong. A total of nine members will be signed, and we will strive to capture the markets in Greater China, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea."

"The initial signing fee is cheap, so it's best to sign a 10- or 12-year contract. After the group develops, you can give them a raise to keep them. You must not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. There are so many people in a group, and as long as a few of them become popular, you can make a lot of money in the future."

The reason why I agreed to cooperate was mainly from a business perspective, and I could also have some fun at the same time.

Baby Yang can be trained to become a popular star, while Janice Man is more suitable to be an actress. The prospects of building an idol girl group with them as the core seem good.

Fan Wumian only needs to invest a mere 100 million Hong Kong dollars. The new bonsai pine in his yard is worth more than this number, so it doesn't matter even if the attempt fails in the end.

Boss Qu Mingan listened carefully, took notes on the key points with a pen, and said with a bright smile:
"You still say you don't understand, but don't you clearly understand it?"

Waving his hand, Fan Wumian replied:

"By analogy, packaging a girl group is actually similar to training a star. It's nothing more than using all kinds of resources to promote them, hoping that they can become famous. In the future, they can make money by holding concerts, participating in commercial performances, filming movies, and taking commercials."

Boss Qu Mingan said: "It seems to be similar to train models."

"Well, Boss Qu, let me be frank. Professional matters should be left to professionals. Don't really think that it's the same as the modeling industry. There are many tricks in the idol economy." Fan Wumian took a sip of coffee and reminded again:

"Many male fans will treat their idols like girlfriends and be obsessed with them. You must never give in to such things as inviting them to dinner. You must be prepared to give up some income and help them block all kinds of harassment. Otherwise, the money and resources invested will go down the drain in a minute. The public relations department is particularly important."

Seeing him reminding him seriously, Qu Mingan immediately replied:
"Don't worry about these. Some models took the initiative to switch to my company because I never let them suffer any injustice. Some time ago, a wealthy businessman wanted to spend 50 Hong Kong dollars to treat Wen Yongshan to a meal, but I turned it down without saying a word."

The so-called "having a meal" probably requires just hooking your fingers.

There was a knock on the office door, and Qu Ming'an's wife personally handed over two gold coins, on which were written "Long Live the Buddha" and "Good Luck and Health" respectively.

The check had already been given. After checking it, Fan Wumian handed the two gold coins to assistant Pu Jiajing for safekeeping, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this set of Yuanmingyuan Qianlong blessing gold coins is not as eye-catching as the Qianlong shroud, it has a very auspicious meaning and is of great collection value.

After the promotion is completed, it will be worth at least 300 to 400 million RMB.

In the early years, they were placed in the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace. At the entrance were bronze statues of the 12 zodiac animals telling time. Later, the animal heads were sawed off by robbers, and this set of gold coins also flowed to Britain.

Whether it is collection value or historical significance, there is no shortage of selling points.

In the newly built courtyard house of more than 3,000 square meters on the northern bank of Houhai in Yanjing, Fan Wumian built a safe, where he would place some valuable items in the future.

When the special exhibition hall of the museum at No. 28 Di'anmen Square opens, this set of gold coins will be borrowed for display. This has been discussed in advance with Mr. Tan from the museum.

The renovation is being carried out in the near future and is expected to be completed by the end of next year to facilitate the Olympic Games and open to the public to attract tourists.

After discussing with Boss Qu, Fan Wumian took a bus to Shenzhen.

The two-tone Phantom had license plates from two places on the front and back, and he also took down the "Shen B-99999" license plate.

I sent a message to Zuo Ziyan halfway through the process, asking her to find time to come to Shenzhen tomorrow. I would go ahead and make some preparations. It was expected to take half a day to shoot a few short stories for "The Useless Man".

Zuo Ziyan replied quickly, saying that half a day was too short and she was going to find an excuse not to go home and stay in Shenzhen overnight.

Understood in seconds.

As the customs clearance took some time today, Fan Wumian took the initiative to report the two antique gold coins, in case they could never be brought out again after returning to the mainland and be treated as smuggled goods.

During the filling of documents.

Pu Jiajing received a call and reported:

"The new Bandit King Media corporate logo has been designed. Several versions have been created and sent to my mailbox. I have always felt that the previous movie opening was shoddy. At that time, in order to rush the movie to be released in theaters, only a small bandit cartoon was designed, swinging an axe and chopping everywhere."

Fan Wumian said in an indifferent tone:
"The quality of the film is what matters most, that kind of thing is irrelevant."

A customs officer, after reading the documents filled out by Fan Wumian, exclaimed:

"You grew up in Hong Kong, how come you can write simplified Chinese so well?"

"I've practiced it before, and I can write traditional Chinese characters, so it's very easy to learn simplified Chinese characters."

"Yes, many traditional Chinese characters have complicated strokes, and I feel tired just looking at them."

The customs supervisor handed the document to his colleague to make a copy for record and also took photos of the two gold coins.

Then, he continued to chat with Fan Wumian:

"Many people try every possible means to transport precious cultural relics abroad, including jade seals, porcelain, and Buddha statues. I have worked here for more than ten years and have seen all kinds of situations. Just last week, someone put a painting under a mat. It seems that the amount involved was several million yuan."

Speaking of painting, Fan Wumian felt a little inspired.

Turning to Pu Jiajing, he said:
"I remember that I sold a very expensive painting of "Parrot Paradise" at an auction house last time. After I choose a new corporate logo, I would like to ask Master Wu Guanzhong to paint an oil painting of our logo and hang it in the lobby of the company headquarters in the future. Please remember to contact him in advance."
