Chapter 592 10
Letting Britney be in charge of matchmaking will obviously give her the opportunity to get to know more American actresses.
However, Fan Wumian thought about it carefully and found that he could not find any small fish fry that interested him, so he simply gave up.
As for Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, one is insatiable and the other is unfathomable, he dare not provoke them casually. It is safer to stay away from these vain and ostentatious socialites.
They need to keep their distance in private life, but including Britney Spears who has a less assertive personality, all three of them are actually very worth investing in.
Even Kim Kardashian, who is still Hilton's follower, will be successful in the future. Although she lost face, she made a lot of money and became one of the richest stars in the United States.
With the advantage brought by the information gap, these business opportunities were clear to Fan Wumian. He found that if he invested in them in advance, he might be able to bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.
There is also Jessica Alba, who is particularly good at business in Hollywood. Not only is she beautiful, but it is said that she has increased the valuation of her company to more than one billion US dollars in just a few years by selling various baby products.
George Clooney is equally good. He co-founded a tequila brand with his friends and later sold it to a wine merchant, making about $10 billion.
Thinking about it this way, Fan Wumian feels that there is no future in just staying in the Chinese entertainment industry. At least in the next few years, the height of the ceiling is still very limited.
They should cast a wider net in Hollywood and find celebrities to help promote their products, just like they did with Britney, so as to maximize their profits.
At that time, he will provide part of the capital and entrepreneurial inspiration, and help to form a management team. Through various businesses, he will try to monetize the traffic of Hollywood stars. From the perspective of return on investment, it may not necessarily make less money than investing in Silicon Valley.
Following this line of thought, Fan Wumian was deeply inspired. Just as the number of followers of the "Ms. Monster" account exceeded 2100 million, he wanted to let Britney try the waters first.
When he arrived at the Ms. Monster project headquarters and checked the recently shot footage, he suddenly said to Britney:
"I want to do business in the United States recently. How about you cooperate with me? You don't need to invest money or manage it yourself. As long as you become my partner and help promote the company's products, I will give you 10% of the shares directly."
With Britney's business acumen, it was difficult for her to figure out the twists and turns involved. She obviously underestimated her own commercial value and foolishly said:
"Give me 10% of the shares? There's no need to take care of me like that. We are friends, right? If you start your own company, I will definitely help you promote it without charging any advertising fees."
"."
Fan Wumian burst out laughing:
"We Chinese have a saying, business is business."
"You are investing your own popularity. I think 10% is just right, so that our relationship won't be affected by money issues in the future."
"In addition, I would like to develop perfumes, cosmetics, clothes, shoes, bags and other peripheral products in your name. Since the initial investment is huge, perhaps tens of millions of dollars, I think it would be appropriate to give you 10%."
He was thinking about promoting his products through Britney Spears, but in Britney's eyes, it was almost like picking up 10% of the shares for free.
The girl continued:
"Since it takes a lot of money for the initial investment, I'll transfer the money to you in proportion. I'm a star, but you're also a star. When we do business together, there's no question of who's more popular. Your brain is the most important."
"I bought your company's financial products last year. The last time my financial manager called me, he said he made about $600 million. That's ridiculous."
"My personal brands not only failed to help me make a lot of money, but also lost millions. Until now, there is still a lot of inventory in the warehouse. I feel that doing business is really not suitable for me."
After listening.
Fan Wumian did not continue to be polite with her and said:
“If you’re willing to invest, it’s even easier.”
“In fact, I also want to create a shopping website that specializes in selling clothes, cosmetic bags, shoes and bags, etc.”
"We will invest a portion of the funds in the early stage. If we are lucky enough, we can look for investors from outside later on. The risk is not too great."
Through the account of Ms. Monster, Fan Wumian was unexpectedly reminded of a company that produced "Monster Energy Drinks".
I vaguely remember seeing news from somewhere that its stock price had skyrocketed thousands of times in more than a decade.
Unfortunately, when Fan Wumian remembered this company around October last year, Hanson Natural Beverage Company, which launched Monster Energy Drinks, had become a star stock listed on the Nasdaq.
The total market value has skyrocketed from tens of millions of US dollars in 2002 to more than billion US dollars today, so the profit margin is not too large.
The information I remember is limited, but fortunately a lot of the data can corroborate each other.
For example, the company that produces Monster energy drinks has a low market value of 1000 to million US dollars. Based on a -fold increase, it means that it can increase to to billion US dollars.
The current total market value is more than 20 billion US dollars, which means it can only increase by about times. The rate of return is not as good as holding Apple shares. Fan Wumian is certainly too lazy to waste his time.
Building a platform similar to "Du" is different. The initial capital investment is not too high. When the traffic is directed through the Monster Lady account, the customer acquisition cost can be greatly reduced. After much thought, Fan Wumian always felt that this was the most suitable entrepreneurial direction, and there was an opportunity to monetize the huge traffic brought by the Monster Lady account.
Britney Spears was indeed not interested in business and quickly changed the subject to other things, chatting about various gossips and interesting things in Hollywood.
Maybe it's because both parties don't care too much about the matter and it doesn't involve real feelings. Although there were a few crazy days, the relationship is still harmonious now.
Megan Fox, who we last met, has already finished filming "Transformers 1", which made her famous all over the world. Since the movie has not been released yet, she is just a nobody for the time being.
After talking with Britney and the filming team, we agreed to shoot some footage together tomorrow. We plan to randomly give away cars, motorcycles, televisions, etc. by guessing the gift.
On the way back to the hotel, after much hesitation, Fan Wumian finally couldn't help but call Megan Fox.
On the other side of the phone.
Megan Fox asked for the room number and readily agreed to come for the appointment.
I thought she would not arrive until the evening, but the fact was that just after Fan Wumian returned to the hotel and took a nap, he heard a knock on the door.
The hotel gave us a complimentary cigar.
Fan Wumian took two puffs and found it too addictive, so he pushed it into the ashtray.
Busy from the afternoon to the evening, Megan Fox is now wrapped in a bath towel and blowing her hair. It can only be said that she is not only sexy and wild on the surface, but also in private.
He bit his lips lightly and sweat dripped down his neck. The picture was full of wildness, which left a deep impression on Fan Wumian. He finally understood why some people like taking pictures.
After drying her hair, Megan Fox told:
"Actually, I'm dating a bassist in a band right now. He pursued me for a long time before I agreed. But he's a bit boring, and I was ready to break up with him a long time ago."
Stunned for a moment, Fan Wumian raised his eyebrows with a big question mark on his face.
Megan Fox didn't care at all and continued:
"Of all the men I've dated, you're the one that fascinates me the most. Thank you for arranging the script for me. It will probably start filming in March."
"You didn't contact me for several months. I thought you were not interested in me. A successful businessman like you must be very busy, right? I occasionally see news about you."
"How long do you plan to stay in the United States this time? I'll take you around like a tour guide. If you don't want to stay in a hotel, you can also go to the Malibu beach villa I just bought."
"It cost me all my money, a total of $119 million, and there were several buyers competing for it. It's a bit like the plot in Two and a Half Men, in which I played the granddaughter of the maid Berta in the first season, episode 12, you can go and watch it."
Fan Wumian was too tired to move, and said to her:
"You obviously don't care about my recent situation. If you read more financial news, you will find that I am not optimistic about the future of the US real estate market. Sell it as soon as possible while you still have a chance. In two years, maybe you can buy a better beach villa with the same price."
Megan Fox opened her eyes wide and asked in an incredulous tone:
"Really? Are you sure? I still owe the bank $85 in loans, which is almost all the money I have!"
Fan Wumian shrugged and said:
"Why would I lie to you? I'm very happy to be with you. Just consider it as a gift from me to you. You'd better sell it at a high price after Transformers is released, and then buy it in 2009. You can just rent a house in the meantime."
Megan Fox said in a confused tone: "Why wait for Transformers 1 to be released?"
".Because you will become a real star by then, and the house you have lived in can be sold at a high price. The collapse of the real estate market is a long-term trend, and it won't be a problem in the short term. You'd better prepare first."
Fan Wumian spoke in a lazy tone. Even though Megan Fox was standing by the bed changing clothes, he just admired her quietly without any other impulse.
When it comes to cheating, it’s best not to start. Once you start, it’s very hard to stop.
The intense sense of excitement brought by the process is often more addictive than making money itself. This is the fundamental reason why Fan Wumian couldn't help himself and went back to his ex today.
While Megan Fox was not yet really famous, Fan Wumian asked her to play the leading role in "Rich Second Generation". In the middle of this year, taking advantage of the popularity brought by "Transformers", he launched this low-budget comedy movie in the second half of the year.
If nothing unexpected happens, Megan Fox will be able to help Fan Wumian make a lot of money after working so hard for so many times.
Compared with other playboys who spend money like crazy, the difference in realm is immediately apparent (End of this chapter)
