Chapter 509 Fission
Chapter 509 Fission
That night, I returned home drunk again.
The reporters and tourists who had gathered at the gate during the day had dispersed, but people stuffed a bunch of business cards, postcards, briefcases and notes with short messages on them through the cracks in the main door and garage door.
Pu Jiajing was about to pick it up, but then he changed his mind and said:
"Forget it, I'll clean it up after I get up tomorrow morning. People will keep stuffing stuff in there anyway. A female fan sent you a swimsuit photo. She might be a model or actress from somewhere. She has a great figure."
"Oh?"
Fan Wumian took the photo and looked at it, and found that it was just okay. He returned it to Pu Jiajing and sighed:
"Who said living in a courtyard house is quiet? What kind of life am I living? It has become a check-in destination for tourists. I'm afraid I really need to build high walls like the imperial palace to prevent harassment."
A few days ago, I considered whether I should hire one or two security guards. However, this idea only lasted for a few seconds before being rejected by Fan Wumian.
After all, he has not lived in Yanjing for a long time, and he often brings girls to spend the night. The more people are around him, the greater the possibility of leaking information.
Hiring someone to help look after your house for a long time would make it seem like you’ve worked hard to buy a mansion for others to enjoy, but now you only need to hire someone to maintain and clean it regularly.
Pu Jiajing continued:
"Who gave you so many fans? They like to go to the cat cafe in Wanghailou to take photos and enjoy the scenery, then stroll to your doorstep, and then go to places like Nanluoguxiang and Yandaixie Street."
"Once the big house next door is built, it should be a little better. You won't have to worry about people throwing things into the yard or getting hit on the head by gifts from fans."
"The mansions in Repulse Bay are so comfortable to live in, why would you want to buy a mansion here?"
Fan Wumian burped. He had already drunk three times since arriving in Yanjing. He made up his mind to use excuses like "allergic to alcohol" or "taking cephalexin" to turn down other dinner invitations.
He told:
"You don't understand. The mainland has three stages of transformation, namely rabbit, panda and tyrannosaurus. If you don't buy the bottom in advance, will you move to the United States and be slaughtered like a pig? This place is full of opportunities now. As the center of the cultural and entertainment industry, it will help my business. It's not easy to find a cash cow that can bring me hundreds of millions of cash a year."
I just drank enough to feel dizzy, but I'm not talking nonsense yet.
After saying that, he glanced at the text messages and found that Zuo Ziyan asked about the premiere event and whether it was convenient for a video call now. Fan Wumian asked Pu Jiajing to choose a guest room to rest by herself, and then returned to the study in the second courtyard and turned on his laptop.
It was still afternoon over there at Zuo Ziyan's place. The bright sunshine shone on her. She came closer with a smile on her face and asked:
"Did you go drinking again? Since you didn't reply to my texts, I guessed you were busy. Did the premiere go well?"
"Of course, it's nothing more than cutting the leeks of movie fans. After the TV series "Wulin Waijia 2" was broadcast, many viewers were feeling empty inside, so there should be a lot of people buying tickets to enter."
Still remembering the topic he had talked about with Mr. Wang at the wine table, Fan Wumian admired Miss Zuo's pretty face and continued:
"Remember when I came back from Los Angeles, I told you that I might start a movie theater distribution business? I forgot to tell you that the people under my command have already negotiated for me and found three strong companies to invest together. I only own 35% of the shares."
Zuo Ziyan pretended to be surprised and interrupted him:
"You? Cooperating with others? That's rare. I thought there was no such thing as 'win-win cooperation' in your dictionary. Whether it's the land in Shenzhen, the film and television drama, or the Penguin shares, it seems that you have won them all by yourself. Until now, I am still wondering how you did it."
"What's there to be puzzled about? All I can say is that your father will always be your father."
".It looks like he really drank a lot. Baijiu is very strong. Many people in the UK drink whiskey. They like to add half a cup of ice cubes, then pour a little whiskey in. This way, they drink it while it melts. In fact, they only drink a little alcohol."
After listening to Zuo Ziyan's words, Fan Wumian smiled and said:
"The drinking culture in the mainland is different. If you don't drink when others are drinking, they will say you don't give face and laugh at you for wanting to raise fish."
I realized that the topic has gone off track.
He raised his finger and shook it:
"Let's talk about other things later. I have something to discuss with you before I fall asleep." Zuo Ziyan raised her eyebrows to express her doubt:
"Okay, tell me. As long as you don't want to break up with me through the computer, everything else can be discussed."
"."
After Fan Wumian gave a brief introduction to the situation of Wanda Group, he reminded:
"With the mainland's double-digit economic growth rate every year, the development is very fast. Compared with the last time you came to Yanjing, this city has become very different."
"Wanda Group is a company with great potential. The urban development in the mainland has learned from the experience of Hong Kong. Just imagine how huge the customer flow of large shopping malls will be if hundreds of millions of people gather in the city. Don't underestimate this company."
"I think if there is a chance, you'd better persuade your family to pay attention to Wanda Group. If I had some spare money, I might invest in it myself. Did I tell you that I also bought a piece of land in Yanjing?"
"."
Fan Wumian was usually very casual, and it was rare to hear him say "Don't underestimate it". Zuo Ziyan instantly became very interested in Wanda Group. While opening the browser to check the information, she asked:
"What are you going to do with the land? The company has hired too many people, and the office space is running out. Are you planning to build a small office building?"
Building an office building in Hong Kong is a big deal and will take up a huge amount of money. Zuo Ziyan has lived in Hong Kong since she was a child, so naturally she feels that the real estate prices in the mainland are cheap.
With Fan Wumian's current financial resources, it would not be difficult to build a small office building, so she spoke in a light tone, focusing her attention on the information about Wanda Group.
After continuing to introduce the situation of the Chaoyang Park Central Island Project, Fan Wumian opened his personal space to collect the vegetables and found that Yang Mi had just stolen the watermelon and mango an hour ago and sent a message to wish him a big box office success for his new movie.
Whether it is Yang Mi or Liu Shishi, they would run to his space at any time, which obviously has already gone beyond the scope of "to please the boss" and is more like some kind of childish ambiguous interaction.
It's easy to make mistakes if you have no experience in love.
People like Gao Yuanyuan, a veteran in the love field, and Guo Biting, who had been cheated by a scumbag once, have already succeeded. These two people have known Fan Wumian for a long time, but they have always been hesitant and kept their distance.
It’s not that this is bad, but it’s a pity that he hasn’t been a pure and innocent boy for many years and prefers a simple, direct and burden-free emotional state.
Like Zuo Ziyan on the other end of the video call, and Zhuang Muxi who just left in the morning, Fan Wumian actually likes them from the bottom of his heart and is reluctant to part with them, but if he talks about being loyal and faithful in love, it will make him feel uncomfortable all over, as if he had locked himself in a cage.
He just took a look around Yang Mi's space and stole a few vegetable plots that seemed to be left by her on purpose. With Zuo Ziyan's cleverness, Fan Wumian would never risk typing a reply to Yang Mi's message.
After a few minutes.
Zuo Ziyan brought the topic back to Wanda Group and said to Fan Wumian with excitement:
"It's really interesting. Its chain stores seem to be expanding very quickly. I haven't got any professional information yet, but this company must be leveraging like crazy and expanding its scale through debt financing."
"If you expand step by step, it takes time to build up strength in the early stages. However, Wanda Group only opened its first shopping mall in 2001, but was able to expand everywhere in a short period of time."
“I don’t know how it does it, but it’s opening dozens of them like a coffee shop.”
Wanda's tactics are nothing more than the same tricks used by other real estate developers. They only put in some capital and then frantically borrow money from banks to expand their scale.
Fan Wumian drank some tea to replenish his water and said:
"It's a little risky, but the environment is so good that the probability of making money is higher. Your family invested hundreds of millions of yuan and set up a 'firewall'. Even if it fails, you will only lose some of the principal. But if it succeeds, it may be a high return of dozens of times. Don't rush to refuse. At least send someone to inspect it to prove that I really helped to find financing."
There was too little information on hand, Zuo Ziyan smiled and said:
"If it's the kind of high-risk, high-return business you like, then send me the detailed electronic information of this company and I'll let my parents take a look."
When it comes to real estate, her family is the real experts.
Fan Wumian stopped worrying about it and said teasingly:
"Stand up and turn around for me. Did you eat well when you returned to England? Unbutton two buttons of your shirt. I want to check."
