Chapter 426: Earning Hundreds of Thousands a Day

No. 28 Di'anmen West Street.

A signboard with the words "Special Exhibition Hall of Fine Cultural Relics of the Palace Museum" is hung at the door. The overall appearance of the building has been renovated, and it looks antique and full of charm.

Liu Yifei accompanied her mother to the exhibition, and soon attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Some spectators had just left when they heard that she had arrived. They wanted to go in again with their checked tickets, but the security guard at the exit refused to let them in. They were so frustrated that they almost broke their thighs.

It's a hot day today and the bricks on the ground are hot from the sun.

Escorted by two security guards, an assistant and a driver, Liu Yifei passed through the entrance and first entered the underground exhibition area, where a cool breeze blew in her face.

When he and Zhuang Muxi jointly purchased this newly built royal courtyard house, Fan Wumian complained about the limited space above ground, so he dug three floors underground, plus a mezzanine, which was of little use.

This basement of more than 12000 square meters is perfectly suitable for use as a cultural relics exhibition hall. Not only is it warm in winter and cool in summer, it is also easy to maintain a constant temperature and humidity, which is conducive to the preservation of fine calligraphy and paintings.

For example, "A Fishing Village in Light Snow" by Su Shi's good friend Wang Shen, and "Lanting Preface in Cursive Script", "Pingfu Tie", "Plum and Magpie" and so on written by Wang Xizhi's seventh-generation grandson Zhiyong, were all publicly unveiled this time.

Among the ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation, the Tang Dynasty's "The Procession of Emperor Taizong to Meet Buddhist Monk Xuanzang" and "Five Oxen" were selected.

As for the more famous "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", Fan Wumian tried to get them but unfortunately failed. It is said that because they are too old, they are already quite fragile and are not suitable for long-term exhibition to the public.

But while waiting for the Olympics, we can make an exception and bring it out to have some fun.

In addition, there are national treasures such as the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup and the Jiuya Fangzun, which have also been brought to the special exhibition hall this time, in an effort to allow the audience to see them all at once. The ticket price is 60 yuan per ticket, which is obviously reasonable. Most people feel that it is worth the money after seeing them.

Liu Yifei and her daughter walked and strolled, enjoying the sights.

Her advantage was that as a big star, the other tourists gave her face and moved aside to allow the mother and daughter to admire her.

There were also many male tourists who felt that the two were more beautiful than the exhibits.

The younger ones were looking at Liu Yifei, while the older ones liked her mother more, and they shouted in their hearts that they had come to the right place today.

Many cultural relics are on public display for the first time. For safety reasons, security is particularly strict. Many heavyweight national treasures have people guarding them and prohibiting tourists from approaching the display cabinets.

After walking around for more than forty minutes.

Liu Yifei and her daughter came to a wall. The introduction on the display cabinet began with "Fan Wumian's Private Collection."

Behind the thick bulletproof glass, there are several fine old items that have just been purchased, plus 12 Qianlong Yuanmingyuan Gold Coins that were collected before, praying for peace and prosperity.

As for the famous "Banner of Ten Thousand Souls", which is Qianlong's shroud, it was hung separately on the side, with seven golden cups placed underneath.

A tour guide was explaining that this treasure had too much evil energy, so a formation was needed to suppress it.

Liu Yifei was stunned by what she heard, but her mother thought it was very thoughtful.

From underground to above ground.

The above-ground building area is more than 4,000 square meters, and it mainly displays gold, silver, jade, bronze, stone and other artifacts. You can just take a quick look at them.

At the exit there is a "Di'anmen Special Exhibition Hall Cultural and Creative Memorial Shop". This shop and brand are jointly owned by Fan Wumian and Zhuang Muxi, but 35% of the profits must be shared with the museum, which is exactly the opposite of the ticket revenue.

The museum’s cultural and creative products have not become popular yet, so Fan Wumian asked people to find some young designers to deeply develop hats, stationery, peripheral ornaments, fans, refrigerator magnets, etc.

There aren't many varieties at the moment, but business is pretty good, with sales exceeding 30 since opening.

It was not until they left the exit that they saw the ticket scalper sitting in the shade waiting for them.

Without needing the other party to say more, Liu Yifei's assistant took out his wallet, counted out 240 yuan and handed it over, saying:
"Here, count it. I was just about to give you the money when you were chased away by the security guard."

The scalper in his twenties, whose surname is Shu, said in a casual tone:
"Oh! It's my own fault for being too careless. Normally I would take the client to other places before taking out the ticket. But today when I saw Miss Liu, I was so excited that I became careless. Fortunately, I have good legs and can run fast."

Liu Yifei was afraid of getting into trouble, so she just smiled and didn't respond.

The scalper named Shu had a rare opportunity and asked curiously:
"There's something I've wanted to ask for a long time. How did the boss here find the opportunity to cooperate with the palace to hold an exhibition? He makes hundreds of thousands a day from ticket sales. Would he just hand over such a good business to others?" Liu Yifei wanted to say that the initial investment in the venue was also huge, and if it weren't for Fan Wumian, it might not have attracted so many tourists.

Her agent realized that this topic was a bit sensitive and immediately said:

"Sorry, we don't know either. Miss Liu is very tired. We'll leave first."

Until I got on the bus.

Liu Yifei asked:
"If I remember correctly, someone on the Internet seemed to say that Fan Wumian's father was actually a wealthy man in Hong Kong. Do you think it's possible that he was someone's illegitimate child?"

It's not just a blind guess.

Fan Wumian's achievements are so impressive that some netizens do not believe that a poor boy can earn billions of Hong Kong dollars in a short period of time through his own efforts.

But if he had a wealthy father who secretly funded him and helped him with advice, everything would make sense.

Seeing her junior fellow rising rapidly and becoming successful, even though Liu Yifei has a more Buddhist personality, she still couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

After all, her career has reached a bottleneck. The mini album released at the beginning of the month only sold 20,000 to 30,000 copies, making her want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Her assistant shook her head and said:

"That's unlikely. The paparazzi in Hong Kong are much more powerful than the reporters in the mainland. If this really happened, how could they not find any clues?"

Liu's mother also said:
"I've met him in person, and he gives me a very special feeling, he's both smart and steady. Some wealthy people made their fortunes in a rather unscrupulous way, and they like to hide their past, but Fan Wumian is different, he's just too lucky."

Liu Yifei's assistant exclaimed:
"Yeah, making money from investing is fine, it shows that you have a good eye and there are always clues to look for. But I was forced to buy and sell, and forced to give me a piece of Qianlong's shroud. The jadeite cut also increased by more than ten billion. It's almost the same as what is said on the Internet. It's really like the God of Wealth is chasing after me to feed me."

Mother Liu said happily again:

"Then if I buy the land near his house, there shouldn't be too much risk, right? Recently, the price of ordinary commercial housing in Yanjing has been more than 8,000 or 9,000 per square meter. At a party, I heard people say that there is no rush to buy a house now, and I am afraid that the price will fall again."

Listening to the two people singing in unison, Liu Yifei was speechless.

Since the first half of the year, she has received invitations from more than a hundred crews. In fact, she does not need to worry about having no work to do. What she lacks is just a good role in a big-budget commercial movie.

After the nanny car drove out of several intersections, Liu Yifei suddenly asked:
"You said that Mythology Film Studios and Paramount have cooperated on so many projects. How can I have a chance to win a female lead from Fan Wumian? Sony Music only allows me to sing and take on endorsements, and has no intention of recommending me to Hollywood companies such as Columbia and MGM."

Her assistant looked him up and down, wanting to joke, "If you seduce him, will you still be short of roles in the future?"

However, Liu's mother was also present.

So the assistant just replied in a proper manner:

"You two are schoolmates and have met before. I think if I just call Fan Wumian and ask him, maybe I'll have a chance."

Liu Yifei is not very good at socializing, and said with an awkward smile:
"It's a bit inappropriate. It's like giving him a difficult problem and putting him on the spot."

The assistant continued:

"It doesn't matter. So many actors have racked their brains to get close to him, but few have succeeded. He should be used to this kind of thing and won't take it too seriously. Or maybe find a suitable opportunity for you to have a chat in person?"

It's about the future.

Whoever Fan Wumian makes a move on becomes a celebrity. Even people like Huang Bo and Xiao Yang have become extremely popular recently.

In Liu Yifei's eyes, this seems very tempting.

then.

She murmured:

"I haven't visited the house I bought in Los Angeles for more than a year. When I have time, I can go there and say hello."
