Chapter 602 Pursuit
Much of the night.
Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang were all asleep and had not responded yet.
the other side.
In Hong Kong, President Wei is busy looking up information and communicating with colleagues in the European branch to understand the details of Dassault Falcon 7X's quotation.
President Wei's wife saw her husband was still busy in the middle of the night, wrapped in pajamas, sleepy eyes and dissatisfied:
"Mr. Fan, you are such a jerk. You are asking me for help so urgently. Can't I just deal with it tomorrow?"
Governor Wei happily said:
"What do you know? I'm not worried about him asking me for help, I'm just worried about him not asking me for help."
"To buy a private jet for such a large amount, I need to borrow at least 200-300 million Hong Kong dollars, right? If I don't take more initiative, will I give up the opportunity to earn commissions to others? If you are tired, go to sleep first. I will prepare the quotation tonight and send it to Mr. Fan's email overnight so that he will know how much I care about his business."
"It's still daytime in Europe. If we don't connect with Dassault Aviation of France as soon as possible, we'll have to waste another day tomorrow. Those European men are different from us. When they get off work, they really get off work. They won't reply to any messages outside of working hours, and you can't reach them by phone."
"It's probably because many technologies and brands are monopolized, and they never worry about customers not begging them, and sometimes they are just too arrogant. In mainland China, you may just take a nap before the order is snatched away by other companies. Competition in all walks of life is too fierce, and the money earned is hard-earned."
President Wei's lovely wife suddenly became interested tonight. She had other thoughts in mind, but when she saw that her husband was really busy, she simply gave up.
Then, his wife became more alert and continued to ask President Wei:
"What's going on with Mr. Fan and the eldest daughter of the chairman of Zuo's Real Estate? I happened to mention him when I went back to Yanjing last time. Many friends in the compound asked me to help them get acquainted with their daughters and relatives' children."
When President Wei heard this, he immediately became alert and reminded:
"Don't interfere. If Mr. Fan gets annoyed and doesn't ask me for a loan in the future, our family will suffer a great loss. A young man like him, with 10 billion in his hands, is thinking about doing a 100 billion business. It's hard to find a better bank client than him. He's also so good at making money. He's really a perfect son-in-law."
Done.
President Wei glanced at the computer screen, which showed Apple's real-time stock price, which was currently rising by around 4.7%.
I heard from Fan Wumian a few days ago that President Wei was not that bold and only used 200 million Hong Kong dollars of wealth management funds to buy all of Apple shares.
Yesterday and today, he has earned a total of more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, a figure that has made him quite satisfied.
Then he thought of the fact that Fan Wumian had bought $15 billion worth of individual stock options at one time. Thinking that he had made more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in just two trading days, President Wei was so envious that he sighed softly and admired Fan Wumian's courage.
The international community is paying close attention to Fan Wumian's long position this time.
It also mentioned that Fan Wumian, the "little stock god of Hong Kong", had never failed since he started his business. It also led to the fact that he was bearish on the prospects of the US housing market and the subprime mortgage market, and invested in the Paulson Hedge Fund and the WM-Rogers Hedge Fund respectively.
As soon as the news came out, many investors began to pay attention to these two hedge fund companies.
Fan Wumian was highly praised abroad, and when the news reached Asia, the media praised him to the sky.
In just one day, the Gangcheng Bandit King Fund Company opened thousands of new accounts, and customers transferred in a total of nearly 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Some investors were optimistic about Tudou.com, Bandit King Media, etc., and specifically asked to buy the "Bandit King Entertainment Industry Mixed Fund."
This private equity product, which was recently launched and is currently raising funds, has successfully won the favor of celebrities such as Jacky Long, Red Gold Bao, Andy Lau, and Director Feng, and the total amount of funds raised has reached more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars.
The specific figures cannot be counted yet, and investors can still withdraw their investments before the closed management officially begins.
For example, Sing Zai originally planned to invest 2000 million Hong Kong dollars, but maybe because he was short of cash on hand, he thought about it and gave up.
For this reason, he even called Fan Wumian and told him that he needed money from other places. The fact that the "unworldly" Xingzai could find an excuse to explain this also shows how high Fan Wumian's prestige is as one of the most powerful investors in the Chinese entertainment industry.
In terms of earning ability, including Fan Wumian himself, he already has Zhuang Muxi, Feng Ying'er, Zhang Liangying, Chen Yisen and the Allure Girls Group under his management, with an annual income of tens of millions.
Gangzi from Deyun Society can barely be considered one of them.
The newly signed Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan, Huang Shengyi and others will have an annual income of more than 500 million RMB.
As for male stars, due to the lack of income from advertising endorsements and few opportunities to participate in commercial performances, their ability to make money is generally lower than that of female stars.
For people like Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, Fan Wumian finally arranged an opportunity for them to endorse Feili products, but they were still ridiculed by the nitpickers on the Internet.
Sometimes it's really no wonder that he is partial. The current market is like this. Many talented male actors only earn a few hundred thousand yuan for each drama, and they don't have the opportunity to get work every year. They can't become as famous as Ge You, who only earned more than 2 million last year and also needs to pay a large amount of personal income tax.
With so many high-earning stars under his management and hit TV series and movies produced one after another, it's inevitable that many colleagues would be jealous and would gossip about him behind his back.
Of course.
As long as they can cooperate with Bandit King Media, this group of people will suddenly change their attitude and start cheering for Fan Wumian.
For example, Director Feng always praises him in public, with some remarks like "a genius that appears once in a million years" and "his aesthetic taste is streets ahead of others". Even Fan Wumian himself would blush when reading them.
The market was too small, and when Fan Wumian jumped lightly, his head hit the ceiling.
The fact is that with his current strength, he can only be considered mediocre in the United States. According to his personal net worth, he was not even among the top 2006 in the world on the Forbes Rich List in 500.
Even in Hollywood, there are several stars who are richer than him, including great directors George Lucas and Jamie Gertz, not to mention the bosses of large film and television entertainment companies.
In the Silicon Valley area, there is no need to say more.
At the launch event of Apple's first iPhone, Fan Wumian also met Silicon Valley tycoon Larry Ellison, who is not only the founder of Oracle but also a good friend of Steve Jobs, so it was normal for him to come and support the event.
Compared with Larry Ellison, who has a fortune of over 200 billion US dollars, Fan Wumian feels that he is a "poor guy" both in terms of personal assets and consumption concepts.
After all, the Oracle boss bought a MiG-29 fighter jet a few years ago and even built an airport specifically for commuting to get off work in a fighter jet. He also owns one of the largest yachts in the world today - the Rising Sun.
This explains why Fan Wumian is always thinking about taking over the American market. If one can earn 100 million or 200 million RMB from making a movie in mainland China, it is already quite good, while if one makes a movie in the United States, the profit can be more than ten times higher.
That's why he founded the Mythology Film Studio and chose to work with Britney Spears to increase his own fame through online channels, as well as the international version of Penguin Weibo, in order to make money more easily.
After taking a car ride for more than an hour, I went to Silicon Valley to visit the headquarters of the international version of Penguin Weibo.
Fan Wumian continued to depart from San Francisco and flew to New York on the east coast of the United States, intending to meet up with Zuo Ziyan there in two days.
When he landed at New York's JFK Airport, he happened to encounter a convoy with a total of six cars and more than ten bodyguards. The scene was quite grand.
When Fan Wumian asked, the American flight attendant said calmly:
"They are from the DuPont family. I have served several of them before. They are much more gentlemanly than I imagined." (End of this chapter)
