Chapter 564: A pile of trivia
That night.
The so-called "ace agent" Hasegawa Ayase came and managed to carefully design a chance encounter in the restaurant. This mixed-race girl did have a distinctive look and her figure was similar to that of a model, but Fan Wumian was still too lazy to respond.
The reason is that there are too many women around him, which makes him feel a little annoyed and he really can't think about this aspect.
However, the embassy staff in the mainland called him specifically and quietly reminded him that he was on the list of people being wooed by the island country's external department. They told Fan Wumian that he had better be careful in the near future, and he needed to be cautious in his words and actions and pay attention to any unusual movements around him.
This made Fan Wumian flattered.
Suddenly I realized that my identity was indeed different. If I were any other small fry, I would definitely not be greeted specifically. This meant that the higher-ups valued me enough to give me some special instructions.
This incident made him think of many issues.
For example, the hidden dangers planted by the island’s foreign affairs department, is it really true that the higher-ups are completely unaware of it?
Judging from the fact that they were put on the list, the island’s foreign affairs department probably has its own hidden spies.
He guessed that it was because the traitors who brought their own dry food kept popping up like bamboo shoots after the rain, so he chose to turn a blind eye and deliberately did not deal with them, thinking that it is better to loosen up than to block.
Although Fan Wumian was not clear about the overall situation of this game, he could guess the vague outline. He felt that this group of traitors might be like catfish in a bucket, used to keep other sardines alive and prevent them from losing the will to strive for progress due to living in a peacetime.
For example, the so-called sewer oil paper bags, the island waiter washing the dishes seven times, and the story of the entire United States cutting off power to save birds, etc., have indeed played a certain positive guiding role for young people and encouraged many people to work hard to become better people.
As his business started to expand, he came into contact with far more levels of people than before. As the largest shareholder of Penguin Group, his decisions would directly affect the information security of hundreds of millions of netizens. It was normal for him to be targeted by relevant departments.
therefore.
The next morning, when Fan Wumian met Hasegawa Ayase in the restaurant again, he immediately felt that this strange woman with a rather shrewd and sophisticated temperament seemed a little suspicious.
With the intention of testing the waters, he allowed the mixed-race girl who looked about 70% like Takizawa Lora to sit opposite him and asked with a smile:
"In my movie Those Years, I acted with Feng Ying'er. Did you start paying attention to me at that time? This movie had a high box office in the island country, and my Nocturne was also very popular in the island country."
Hasegawa Ayase rushed over to carry out the mission. He didn't know much about Fan Wumian. After listening, he just smiled and said:
"Yes! And A Quiet Place, which I personally like very much."
Fan Wumian pretended to be suddenly enlightened, as if he had guessed the truth.
After all, he has never met any loyal fan who has not watched his masterpiece "Those Years".
His story with Zuo Ziyan is widely known, and Feng Ying'er did not appear in it. He was also late in working on the song "Nocturne", as Jay Chou put it in the album first.
If Hasegawa Ayase was really a die-hard fan, and was obsessed enough to come all the way from Tokyo to see him, he thought she would not be unaware of these issues.
Fan Wumian smiled and stood up, holding the bowl of noodles, and walked to the other empty tables, saying, "I just want to have a quiet vacation for a few days, don't bother me."
"???"
Hasegawa Ayase's heart skipped a beat. She realized that she had been exposed, and she wasn't sure what she had said wrong.
She did not continue to pester him, but got up and left without saying a word. During the process, she also notified Nara Yuuku and the others to evacuate as soon as possible to prevent them from being traced.
Just a small episode.
Like the US officials, they have also tried to exert influence on Mythology Film Studios and Penguin Group. Under the seemingly calm surface, there are undercurrents.
Fan Wumian just pretended nothing happened and continued to stay in the resort to enjoy the snow. During this time, he accompanied the manager to inspect and provide some new ideas for doing business. For example, he wanted to build some igloos and ice sculptures for tourists to take photos and check in. He also wanted to open a new store to sell peripheral products related to him.
After inspecting the resort, Fan Wumian took Feng Ying'er back to Yanjing by plane.
We set off again that day, flew for several hours and landed at Nalati Airport. We checked into a local hotel and went with Professor Feng to look for the most suitable location to build a winery.
It took more than a week in total, and the trip covered Nalati, Hemu Village, Xiata Ancient Road and other places.
Because of the different soil and climate environments, different grape varieties are planted. Fan Wumian did a simple calculation and decided to invest in a red wine estate resort in each of these places, with the total budget set at around 8000 million RMB.
Compared with vineyards, wineries, equipment and resorts are the most expensive. A total of four new wineries have been planned, with a tentative number of guest rooms at around 160, which will be built to top standards.
On the day the news was confirmed, Fan Wumian came to Yanjing for an interview in a low-key manner. The next day, the official media published a news article with the theme of "Helping farmers, the quality of domestic red wine is not inferior to imported ones, and the tourism industry in the Northwest is optimistic."
Nowadays, many people's impression of the Northwest is only "desert", "Gobi", "Poplar forest", "raisins", "twisting the neck while dancing" and so on. They have no idea how charming the scenery in many places in the Northwest is.
With the popularity brought by Fan Wumian's publicity, countless related hot searches were spawned, and the hot topic "The scenery in the Northwest is not inferior to Switzerland, you must go there at least once in your life" even topped the list.
At the same time, Mr. Guo, the boss of Yanjing Morgan Real Estate Company, failed to find a suitable investor within the stipulated period. He added another RMB 13 million to the RMB 5000 billion offer, saying that he would sign the contract if possible, but forget it if not.
This was an attempt to squeeze out all the profits. After Fan Wumian discussed it with Xiao Ma Ge in person, he only agreed to give an additional 2000 million. Boss Guo still agreed to transfer all the shares of Morgan Center.
It is already the beginning of December 2006, and in the blink of an eye another year is about to end.
Fan Wumian lived in a villa next to the Shahe Golf Course. At this time, he signed a document with his own hands, deciding to participate in the judicial auction at the end of the month to publicly sell 48% of the shares of Boxier Fund.
After signing, he looked at the document again and said to Pu Jiajing:
"The estimated value of this batch of shares is 14.5 billion yuan. The highest I can offer is probably around 16 billion or 17 billion. If I can successfully acquire the controlling stake in Boshi Fund, this year will be a perfect end."
"After investing everywhere and spending money for several months, I am finally about to complete the last piece of the puzzle for this round of asset allocation."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we should just take a steady approach next year and wait until we have completely digested these assets before we can continue to expand overseas."
Pu Jiajing asked curiously:
"Boss, you just inquired about this batch of Boshi Fund shares, and it was put up for auction. Could it be that it was tailor-made for you, for the 20 billion Hong Kong dollars loan in your hand?"
Fan Wumian didn't know whether to laugh or cry and replied:
"The government is not that poor. Maybe it's because no one made the decision before, so they didn't rush through the process. After I asked, they remembered the existence of this batch of shares, and the auction procedures were completed quickly."
"The star effect also applies to this kind of thing. For example, no one cared about the Olympic Village and Morgan Center before. I heard that the sales department's phone has been almost blown up in the past few days."
"Oh and the Morgan Center should be renamed. What do you think of 'Penguin Center Building'?"
Pu Jiajing thought for a moment and replied:
"Penguin Center sounds like it only has one building. Should we give it a more interesting name so that people can remember it more easily? We will sell the house to the public in the future. The more impressive it leaves on people, the better the advertising effect will be."
Fan Wumian thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of a name he liked, so he said:
"Let the marketing planning department of Penguin Group worry about it and come up with 10 alternatives for me. Then I will discuss with Brother Xiao Ma and pick one from them."
"Also, Valentino's products will be on sale soon. I'm planning to hold a party. Please invite some celebrities to show their support. Come if you are free. Don't force me if you don't have time."
"The halo around them can improve the status of Valentino in people's minds. We finally have a chance to see a return on our money, which is worth celebrating." (End of this chapter)
