Chapter 384 Deep V
Chapter 384 Deep V
Being in the entertainment industry can bring in huge cash flow, and the invested assets are also continuing to appreciate in value.
It's a big step. The account has just been a little more comfortable in recent months, but now money is becoming tight again.
However, some money can be paid later, and there is no problem in finding an institution for short-term loans. The only difference is that the interest rate may be slightly higher.
Compared with the possible profits, Fan Wumian does not take the interest money seriously.
For example, after Quzhou Heavy Industry issued the announcement, rumors spread in the market that "Sanyao Heavy Industry's stock price plummeted", "new investors suffered heavy losses and were trapped", "Fan Wumian's speculation failed", etc.
In fact, compared with the average entry price of the position, even if the stock price hit the limit down and fluctuated for several working days, Fan Wumian's holding rate of return was still above 29%.
HK$3 million, 29% yield.
At first glance, it seems that not much profit was made, but don’t forget that Fan Wumian obtained funds from the brokerage firm and added leverage, and actually only invested 5000 million Hong Kong dollars.
In other words, leaving aside the interest and handling fees of margin financing, the actual rate of return of Fan Wumian's investment in Sanyao Heavy Industry is as high as around 174%, which is simply exaggerated.
At its peak, the actual rate of return on this investment reached 300%, with a net profit of more than HK$1.5 million.
Not only does he have foresight, but he also has a large enough capital, and he is also lucky and has considerable influence. These factors combined make Fan Wumian always successful in his overseas investments.
Negotiating a share swap acquisition with Penguin Group's parent company is a way to make money and further optimize the asset allocation under one's name.
The attempt to acquire brands such as Feili and Valentino was mainly due to Fan Wumian's personal interest, hoping to monetize traffic with the help of physical business.
While small stars invested in restaurants and trendy brands, he was too lazy to make small investments and immediately targeted the luxury goods industry, which has a huge market size.
The Feili brand is half-dead, so it is normal to be willing to trade.
Compared with this company, the Valentino brand, whose latest valuation is about 1.8 million euros, is the stepping stone that can truly allow Fan Wumian to enter the global fashion industry.
The details of the acquisition are being discussed and the matter has just begun.
He had already thought of the slogan in advance: "Valentino - walking hormone, a brand that men cannot refuse."
I also want to change the brand logo.
The company's international brand name is "Valentino". When talking about the sexiest "V", Fan Wumian first thought of "deep V".
Then they considered finding a top spokesperson with a proud figure, using the curves of her body to create a "V"-shaped logo, and then shoot commercials and release them in major markets around the world, going all the way on the track of focusing on "sexiness".
This stunt made Fan Wumian feel that it was full of gimmicks just by thinking about it. It was not necessarily worse than what Zuo Ziyan had seen with her own eyes, where naked models were hired to shoot commercials in broad daylight on the streets.
At the very least, such naked model advertisements will never be allowed to be put on the mainland. His borderline creativity will only result in a fine. The Coconut Tree brand has dared to commit crimes against the law for so many years, so it is no problem for Fan Wumian.
Since he already had some ideas on how to market Valentino and felt that it had great potential, Fan Wumian thought that if the other party agreed to acquire it, it would be better to acquire the brand in advance.
Otherwise, when the mainland economy develops and provides a large new market for European and American luxury goods companies, the entire industry will usher in a big boom. At that time, it will definitely be a lot of trouble to acquire at a low price.
Wearing a baseball cap and a mask, I took some time to stroll around downtown London.
Zuo Ziyan took him to a shoe store whose decoration was unremarkable but whose prices were extremely expensive.
Her father had bought them before and praised them for being extremely comfortable. Today, he happened to pass by the store, so Miss Zuo suddenly decided to buy a few new pairs of shoes for Fan Wumian.
After asking about the price, he learned that a pair of custom-made crocodile leather shoes would cost 8999 pounds. Fan Wumian almost turned around and left, lamenting that even if he walked around on two live crocodiles, it wouldn't be that expensive.
But Zuo Ziyan persuaded him, saying that clothes make the man, and that one's image is very important. Finally, Fan Wumian had no choice but to accept it, took off his shoes and socks, and let the clerk do whatever he wanted.
To make custom-made shoes, one must first make a model according to the size of the foot. During this time, Fan Wumian saw a white master craftsman sitting at a workbench, threading the needle with great effort, and hammering on the work from time to time. He found it quite addictive.
I picked three pairs of shoes in total, and selected the leather, color and style on the spot. After they are finished, they can be sent to the port city by express delivery.
During this process, he met two wealthy Middle Eastern men in white robes who also came to customize their shoes.
Listening to the two people chatting in English about which company is worth acquiring, which hotel has a long history and a high occupancy rate, etc., he secretly thought that these rich people have money but nowhere to invest, so they buy things everywhere in Europe and the United States.
If something unexpected happens in the future, maybe all their overseas assets will be frozen without reason, just like the rich bears. It will be interesting then. It is hard to say what will happen in the future, but these two rich people really treated money as paper flowers, selecting more than ten styles respectively and mentioned that they would send them to a country called "Bahrain".
It is adjacent to Qatar and Saudi Arabia and is almost invisible in the international community.
Fan Wumian's consumption concept has long been established and is difficult to change.
I always feel that 28.5% of Penguin shares sold for $10 billion is a steal, and you’ll regret it for the rest of your life if you don’t grab it.
I spent more than 80 pounds to buy three pairs of leather shoes, and I was completely cheated. The merchant took 90% to % of the gross profit with tears, and didn't even give any discounts, let alone bargaining, which made me depressed.
After staying in the small manor for two days, he accompanied Zuo Ziyan to live near Cambridge University for three days.
I have a lot of free time every day, but my waist is a bit weak.
Originally, Fan Wumian thought that to be a "Sea King" one only needed to have good enough overall conditions and be able to ignore the psychological guilt, but facts proved that having an iron body was actually the most important thing.
I separated from Zuo Ziyan again and arranged a flight to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport in France. Before I met up with Feng Ying'er, I saw her text message saying that she had bought a pair of particularly sexy fishnet stockings.
When flirting with several beauties at the same time, you have to resist even if you can't, otherwise it will seem very impolite.
While resting under the blanket, Fan Wumian was repeatedly approached by a girl from the island country who was sitting behind him. She was about 20 years old, not tall, and thin, but she looked okay.
Passengers with no sense of boundaries, overly enthusiastic British stewardesses, children running and playing back and forth, and the increasing frequency of going out all prompted him to start thinking about "buying a private jet."
There are many benefits to buying a private jet, such as convenience of travel, relative safety, comfort and privacy, tax deductions when purchased in the name of a company, etc.
The only disadvantage seems to be that it is "expensive". It starts to depreciate rapidly as soon as you get it, which will add a lot of extra travel expenses.
However, the thought of having a small bedroom in a private jet does not only make you feel safe from paparazzi but also give you a different kind of excitement.
Fan Wumian also thought that it would be a good idea to buy a private jet once he finished his current business and had a little more money.
It can be used whether you are going out to film a movie, discuss business, hold a concert tour, or travel in the future.
The only trouble is probably the small space in the cabin of a private business jet.
Even if there is a separate bedroom, it is easy to feel constrained when you think about the assistants, bodyguards and flight attendants who are not far away.
After becoming rich, everyone has their own symptoms.
Some people choose to indulge in business, like an ascetic monk, forcing themselves to continue working "996". Once they have no time, they will fall into a huge sense of emptiness.
Some people retire early, drink tea and grow flowers every day, travel around the world, and often meet up with friends to drink and kill time.
Some people, in order to seek excitement, live in casinos and find emotional value at the gambling tables.
Each has its own symptoms.
Fan Wumian's problem obviously lies with the woman.
Digging a small pond and raising fish can make him feel fulfilled and happy.
When the plane landed at Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, Feng Ying'er was already waiting for him in the car.
A tight skirt paired with fishnet stockings and a pair of riveted high heels, these are Valentino's "speed attack shoes".
He could tell at a glance. Fan Wumian got into the car, pointed, and asked, "Did you buy it specially?"
Ying Er crossed her legs and said:
"Yes, I heard you mention that it looks better when worn. I picked this pair out at a store in Athens. The skirt is also a new model from Valentino. The style is really nice."
Fan Wumian smacked his lips and reminded:
"The more performance you deliver to this company, the higher the price I will pay for it. If I really buy it, I will let you be its spokesperson."
