Chapter 619: 164 billion RMB
Fan Wumian has no interest in most of the assets to be auctioned.
Take the Giant Building, which has been unfinished for several years, for example. The authorities have set some rigid requirements, including paying the final auction payment in one lump sum, starting construction within one year of acquiring the land, and completing the building within three years.
If we spend 5 or million yuan to acquire the full development rights of this unfinished building, we will have to spend a lot of money to pay the land transfer fee later, and there will be huge expenses for its construction and commissioning. Even if the real estate in Shenzhen appreciates significantly within five years, the income will most likely be only two or three times the principal.
For others, this is already a huge profit, but in Fan Wumian's eyes it is a waste of time. There is no need to waste limited capital to do such a low-yield project.
When all the high-quality land in Zhucheng is developed, the land where the Giant Building is located may become a hot commodity, but today it was not sold at a high price because no one registered.
On the other hand, an unfinished lakeside villa in OCT Chunshui'an successfully attracted a lot of attention, with multiple bids pushing the price up to more than 2600 million yuan.
Last year, Feng Ying'er bought a luxury waterfront villa, the purchase price was much cheaper than this unfinished villa, and the value has appreciated significantly during this period.
It can be said that once the big opportunity came, real estate prices in economically developed areas of the mainland all went up. The land owned by Fan Wumian belongs to the core area of first-tier cities, and he has long been praised by the media for his excellent vision.
What's even more outrageous is that the land near Shencheng Bay needs to settle naturally for several years, and the land acquired in Yanjing needs to wait until after the Olympic Games before construction can begin. Both are reasonable excuses for hoarding and speculating on land.
An auction is going on on the stage.
Fan Wumian was sitting in the audience, distracted by his cell phone, busy texting with Liu Yifei.
During the summer vacation last year, Sony Music of Japan created Liu Yifei's first personal Chinese album. Later, the album ended up being a flop, and Liu Yifei was ridiculed.
Fan Wumian felt that the main reason her album failed was the poor quality of the songs. Even though Sony Music invested resources and pushed it hard, it still failed to impress people.
As for her singing ability, her singing ability is just okay, otherwise she would not have been signed by Sony Music. Only someone crazy would spend millions of RMB to promote a tone-deaf singer.
Since Liu Yifei chose to terminate her contract with Sony Music early, she switched to a studio under the Shenghuo Miaomiao agency and signed a 10-year contract.
In order to change her reputation and give a boost to this top cash cow, Fan Wumian personally picked a few songs for her and handed them over to the Sapphire Blue Music Studio to create a new album.
The entire album includes five songs, "The Love Drama of White Doves and Crows", "See You Tomorrow", "Cappuccino", "Is It Possible" and "Love That Will Never Break Up". After working overtime for a period of time, the album has been recorded.
Liu Yifei wrote in the text message
——"Thank you very much, the new album is really great. I have already communicated with Ms. Lanli from Yaomei Records. She told me that if we hurry up, it can be released in March."
Speaking of Lan Li, that girl is one of the oldest employees under Fan Wumian. She is now in charge of the production and sales of albums and is the general manager of Yaomei Culture.
At that time, Fan Wumian felt that Lan Li's appearance and temperament were 70% similar to Liu Shishi. In the blink of an eye, Liu Shishi had also been signed by him for a long time.
Seeing Lan Li's name in the text message gave him a reminder. He planned to give her more year-end bonus before the Spring Festival holiday as a reward for this company veteran. Since Yaomei Records is relatively marginalized in his industry, he rarely deals with this girl and has not seen her for more than a year.
Sitting on a chair at the auction site, Fan Wumian continued to reply to Liu Yifei's message, writing
——"Put the song "White Dove" on the Penguin Music platform in advance. I saw it reached the second place on the hot song list a few days ago. Congratulations. Wait for me to listen to it this afternoon. If there is no problem, you can get busy. You also need to arrange time to cooperate with the promotion. The physical album industry is getting more and more difficult. This business can die at any time. While there is still a chance, we should try to make more money this time."
Liu Yifei became famous with her new song "The Love Drama of White Doves and Crows", while the top song on the hot song list was "Blowing Dreams to Xizhou", which became popular again with the online game "Emperor of the Wilderness".
Although most people think that the lyrics of "Blowing Dreams to Xizhou" are rather difficult to pronounce, it does not prevent people from liking this song because of its catchy melody and unique atmosphere. It sounds very artistic.
Just after sending the text message, he received another call. Fan Wumian put the phone to his ear and listened to it. Then he learned that a jade merchant took the initiative to find the agent Jiang Shixi and said that he had a piece of top-quality jade and wanted to give it to him to see.
In order to try his luck and find the raw materials of the giant egg-shaped jadeite "Zhaoyi Star", he has already bought two pieces of spring materials at a high price.
The first time was when he was cutting the Big Jade King. He bought some material and after cutting it, he asked someone to customize an incense burner ornament, as well as many bracelets, peace buckles, lucky melon gourds, etc., which are all still in his safe.
The second time was some time ago, when he bought the raw material of imperial green in Gangcheng. Later, Fan Wumian couldn't help but ask someone to cut it, and found that it was all ice and high ice royal purple. Unfortunately, there were many cracks. Although he could make three or four million according to the market price, he could only use it to make beads and some random pendants.
Now someone was ready to send a piece of top-quality spring material with an asking price of 200 million RMB. Fan Wumian expressed his interest without hesitation and asked Jiang Shixi to tell the other party to send the material to Shenzhen and he would go and take a look when he was free.
Different from the "Big Jade King" which weighs one ton and is full of characteristics.
Fan Wumian only knew that a piece of spring material could be worth hundreds of millions after being cut, but he had no idea what the raw stone of "Zhaoyi Star" looked like, so he had to resort to the stupid method of casting a wide net to increase his chances of winning.
The reason why those merchants sent the good stones to him was simply because Fan Wumian was willing to spend money and offered a generous price. As long as the profit was large enough, it was worth spending a little time on it, and it could be considered a small gamble for fun.
The Spring Festival comedy movie "Lost on Journey", which is currently showing in theaters, has achieved a good result of 2900 million yuan in the mainland market in the past week.
Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng are busy promoting "Lost on Journey" under the leadership of the director. Countless media have praised Wang Baoqiang's comedic talent.
Even if the income from the sale of overseas distribution rights is taken into account, the profit that "Lost on Journey" can bring to Fan Wumian in the end may not be enough to make a piece of raw material for "Zhaoyi Star". This will certainly make him enjoy it and not want to miss any good stone.
Busy with other things.
When the host on the stage mentioned Boshi Fund, Fan Wumian finally raised his head and impatiently reached out to take the "888" plate handed to him by Pu Jiajing.
Looking at the number on this sign, you can tell how much the organizer values Fan Wumian.
His actions were seen by several competitors who were very interested in the shares of Boshi Fund, and they all smiled bitterly.
For example, a vice president of China Merchants Bank Securities did not want to offend Fan Wumian, one of the major shareholders of China Merchants Bank Securities, because of the bidding issue. However, his boss wanted to give it a try, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare to raise the bid.
Considering that Fan Wumian is very powerful, not only does he have a lot of assets under his name, but he has also recently raised two to three billion US dollars from Wall Street. Seeing that he is really interested in the shares of Boshi Fund, many people have guessed that today it may just be a formality.
48% of the shares of Boshi Fund were put up for auction for the first time, with a starting price of 12 billion yuan. After only a few rounds of bidding, the price was pushed up to 13.5 billion. Fan Wumian was not in a hurry and raised his bid by 1000 million.
In addition, there were bids from China Merchants Bank Securities, Southern Securities and Yifangda. After he raised his hand, he rested for a while until the price was pushed up to 15.2 billion. After Southern Securities was eliminated first, Fan Wumian raised his hand again and added another 1000 million, indicating that he had not given up.
When the total price exceeded 16 billion, breaking the upper limit assessed by China Merchants Bank Securities, the company's vice president stopped bidding.
Only the representative of Yifangda gritted his teeth and held on for two more rounds, but was ultimately defeated by Fan Wumian, who even had the energy to joke with Pu Jiajing and showed no signs of pressure at all.
去年搏时基金净利润只有1亿多，这48%的股份估值12亿、13亿左右，范无眠以16.4亿人民币的价格拍下它，相当于给了20%左右的溢价。
Asset auctions are different from art auctions. The prices of various assets are very transparent. Most people come here with the idea of picking up bargains. It is already very good if the price is about 20% higher than the appraisal price. (End of this chapter)
