Chapter 573 Newcomers
the other side.
After the party, Brother Shan Ji, who became famous for playing "Wei Xiaobao", and his wife were lingering to leave.
The two men waited beside the two-tone Phantom with the license plate "9999" at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel. After a long time, they saw Fan Wumian, who was surrounded by a large crowd of people.
Brother Shan Ji was refreshed, and quickly grabbed Sister Cai'er's arm. He rushed to him before anyone else, and said with a bright smile:
"Mr. Xiao Fan!!!"
"Today's event is really exciting. I finally waited for such a reliable financial fund. The stock market has been rising everywhere this year, but I lost money on everything I bought. I almost got depressed in the first two months and lost several pounds."
"There's also Tudou.com, which sounds very promising. We plan to contact your fund company and buy two to three million. We just bought a house in Tai Po, so this is all we can squeeze out for now. We'll increase our holdings later."
The financial product announced tonight has an annual management fee of only 1%, and the profit must exceed 100% in order to take a 20% performance dividend from the total profit.
In Brother Shan Ji's eyes, it was as if Fan Wumian had deliberately customized such a financial product to give them money in order to gain good popularity.
The fact is that it is not difficult for Fan Wumian to double the principal within three years, so in the end he can still use the money of these stars, directors, celebrities and wealthy businessmen to earn some pocket money for himself.
Companies like Marvel Entertainment and Netflix, which he is most optimistic about, were not mentioned at all during the promotion of their new products. At least some suspense should be maintained to attract investors to pay their money. Otherwise, many people would invest on their own and would not need to pay handling fees and performance dividends and let the Bandit King Fund help with their financial management.
The advantage of this financial product is that it has the opportunity to raise funds in the form of private equity funds on a priority basis for companies such as Tudou.com, Shanzeiwang Media, and Penguin Music. It is estimated that after it officially starts raising funds from outside, sales will not be much different.
Fan Wumian looked at Brother Shanji's wife and asked with a smile:
"Looking at Sister Cai'er's expression, she must have lost a lot of money, right? Last time I heard that her contract with the company is about to expire. Do you want to switch to my company?"
Sister Cai Er has a lively and hot temper. Upon hearing this, she immediately responded:
"Of course I am willing! This is something I couldn't ask for more. After we asked you, there was no follow-up, so we thought you had forgotten about it, Mr. Fan, and we didn't dare to bring it up again."
"He lost more than 300 million in stock trading and just owed a large sum of money for buying a house in Tai Po. He even bought a Ferrari for his friend. I am really pissed off."
"If I hadn't received a few endorsements and film contracts, my family would have almost run out of food."
Hearing his wife crying and complaining in front of Fan Wumian, saying that she was wrong, Brother Shan Ji was a little embarrassed because he was very proud, but he could do nothing about it.
Rubbing his nose, Brother Shan Ji laughed awkwardly and said:
"My good friend's car dealership is opening. He told me to buy it and drive it for a year, and then I can sell it to him at the original price. I am a celebrity after all, and there are fans who are willing to buy the car I have driven."
I clearly remember that I did see the news about Brother Shan Ji buying a house and a Ferrari last time.
At that time, Fan Wumian still thought that this guy had finally made a comeback, but it seems that he was just trying to show off.
Brother Shan Ji is still young and is often praised when he goes out. He is very proud, so it is not surprising that he does such a thing.
Fan Wumian looked at Pu Jiajing, motioned for her to write it down, and continued:
"If you are interested, just go to my company. Chen Baixiang, Zhong Hanliang, and Uncle Da have just signed long-term contracts with my company. Fortunately, there are many projects in the future, so you will not be treated unfairly."
Sister Cai Er was very happy and asked with eyes wide open:
"What about me? Can I also switch to your company? My current boss has immigrated to New Zealand and has no intention of taking care of us anymore. If I sign a contract with your company, I would like to bring a very reliable and serious newcomer with me. Is that okay?"
".Are you kidding me? You haven't even joined yet, but you're already thinking about helping the newcomers. Do you think the company is owned by our family?"
Brother Shan Ji said this speechlessly and added, "I'm sorry."
Fan Wumian calmly said:
"It's okay, you can come together, but it may take some time before you have a chance to come forward. By the way, what's the name of that newcomer?" Sister Caier explained enthusiastically:
"She's Li Yuanlin, from Malaysia. Her family is well-off. She came to Hong Kong to learn piano and was discovered by my current agent. She sometimes asks me to help look after her."
"."
Various beautiful swimsuit and cosplay photos flashed through his mind instantly. For a while, Fan Wumian watched several Douyin posts of this Malaysian "piano goddess" and then pushed them crazily, which left a deep impression on him.
Obviously, she was marked as "interested" by the platform by default. Fan Wumian was indeed quite interested in Li Yuanlin. It was hard not to be confused when seeing her A4 waist, cleavage and long legs.
The name and the piano both matched, Fan Wumian just pretended not to know them and replied:
"Okay, Sister Cai'er has such a big reputation, I will allocate some resources to try to promote it. When my funds are a little more sufficient, I will also try to support Hong Kong City Film. There will definitely be many opportunities to film by then."
The small market in Hong Kong also has its advantages. At least the crew expenses are lower and the actors' pay is not high.
The entire industry is now in a downturn, and the Hong Kong entertainment circle has long been in a state of turmoil. Many times, as long as you are paid, there are people willing to work, just to earn a salary that can barely support their families.
Top Hong Kong stars can earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year, while some seemingly glamorous actors can only get a basic salary of a few thousand yuan a month. This situation is just in Fan Wumian's favor.
In addition, some more sensitive scripts will be broadcast through Tudou in the future, and it is most suitable to shoot them in Hong Kong. Therefore, Fan Wumian has long considered making additional investments in Hong Kong entertainment. In the future, he can also try to acquire several film and television companies and hand over the film library resources to Tudou.
It's already 8:40 in the evening.
Guo Biting did not go back to the dormitory with the teammates. She made an excuse that her family came to visit her and she was going out for a midnight snack.
Since she is usually very well-behaved, the middle-aged female agent in charge of the team only reminded her to eat less late at night to avoid looking a little fat on camera.
After Guo Biting agreed, she took a taxi to the vicinity of Repulse Bay and found a park to wait for Fan Wumian to pick her up.
No. 89 Repulse Bay remains the same.
The live-in nanny was fired. When Fan Wumian was not at home, a cleaning company would send people to clean the house every week. The lawn in the yard was green, having been freshly mowed during the day, and exuded the scent of grass.
We've been together a few times, but we've never really had a good communication.
While taking Guo Biting around the house, Fan Wumian asked her:
"How are you doing lately? Are you tired from rushing around? Some people in the group earn more, some earn less, I'm worried that there will be conflicts in the future."
Guo Biting was a little excited, but Fan Wumian didn't move, so she could only wait patiently and explained:
"It's OK. It's hard to be absolutely fair in this kind of group. Some team members can't get advertisements or roles, but we will share some of the money we make. I make more money. Last month, I filmed a mooncake advertisement and I was paid more than 30 Hong Kong dollars in one go. I treated them to a Japanese meal. A bottle of sake cost more than 6000 yuan and it tasted terrible."
"If anything urgent happens, remember to let me know. I never quite understand how women get along with each other, but if you don't cause any major conflicts, your group should be popular for a few more years."
Fan Wumian suddenly thought of something and reminded:
"In the future, don't go to places related to the island country and don't talk about it as much. When you are a star, you are most likely to die because you talk too much. You have to remember who is your biggest breadwinner. It is very likely that the destructive power of a scandal is not as great as a careless remark. If the negative news ferments and becomes a big deal, even the gods can't help."
Understanding what he meant, Guo Biting smiled and said:
"Well, the company's teachers have already trained us. I feel like I, Yui Aragaki, Baby Yang and the others have all been targeted."
Fan Wumian said with a smile:
"I remember this incident. I asked someone to find a teacher to help you train. The cultural atmosphere you have been exposed to since childhood is different, so it is easy to fall into traps."
As we were chatting, he turned on the faucet in the bathroom and said he wanted to take a bath together tonight.
Guo Biting, who is full of literary and pure temperament and has already shown her goddess style, suddenly said: "Put some bath salts, it is good for the skin. If you sprinkle some rose petals, it will be more romantic."
Fan Wumian quickly replied: "Don't do that, it might get in the way."
"???"
She didn't quite understand it at first, but after a while she realized that salt shouldn't be added. (End of this chapter)
