Chapter 653: Reading people accurately
Fan Wumian has met most of Britney Spears' good friends.
For example, Paris Hilton, the eldest daughter of Hilton Hotels, is actually just one of the third-generation heirs. She is worth a lot of money and may be very popular in the eyes of other men. In order to take shortcuts, they may even ignore her private video tapes that have been circulated on the Internet, as well as her arrogant, vain and selfish character.
In Fan Wumian's eyes, the so-called advantages are not worth mentioning. He has never paid much attention to Paris Hilton and only focuses on the commercial value of this girl.
If it's done well and she stops causing any more trouble, it shouldn't be a problem to make a few hundred million dollars. After all, Paris Hilton has a huge traffic and it's easy to cash in on many brainless men and women in Europe and the United States.
Another close friend is Lindsay Lohan, who debuted as a child star in Hollywood. After starring in "The Perfect Match" in 1998, she was widely loved by the audience.
Unfortunately, like many child stars who fell into the "curse", Lindsay Lohan was unable to control her career and wealth. The constant negative news dealt a serious blow to her acting career, her reputation plummeted, and her private life was even more difficult to describe, with scandals often roaming around.
After starring in the movie "Mean Girls" in 2004, she was voted one of the most beautiful women in the world. Fan Wumian saw related reports on the Internet and his first thought was "It must have cost a lot of money."
For example, in the list of "100 Most Beautiful Faces in the World" selected by the American film website TC Candler, you can indeed spend money to recharge and improve your ranking. For example, in the 2006 list, Feng Ying'er and Zhuang Muxi teamed up to enter the top ten.
Originally, Fan Wumian also wanted Zuo Ziyan to squeeze into the top ten, but she felt that this would affect her studies too much, and she ended up only ranking 22nd.
Fan Wumian spent more than 2004 US dollars on this, mainly because these girls already have a good foundation. For example, Lindsay Lohan, who won the championship in , would have to spend millions of dollars to get to the top of the list through secret manipulation, making TC Candler website make a joke of its own credibility.
Previous winners such as Jennifer Connelly and Sophie Marceau were indeed beautiful and well-known when they were young.
During the filming of "The Invisible Guest" last summer, Fan Wumian worked with Jennifer Connelly. Her appearance has been declining, but she was really attractive in the 90s.
As for Britney's other best friend, Kim Kardashian, with her exaggerated "big-tailed sheep" figure, she can easily arouse men's curiosity. There is a special sexual tension that makes people want to find out more about her.
However, Fan Wumian even rejected Da Bingbing, so it is no problem for him to resist Kim Kardashian's charm.
Da Bingbing wanted the resources in his hands, and Xue Shiyun, the impoverished eldest daughter of the Xia family, wanted to use Fan Wumian to pay off her family's debts. These were no big deal.
Kim Kardashian is even more frightening. In order to get ahead, Fan Wumian even suspected that she dared to secretly take videos of herself and talk about it publicly.
So it's best to keep enough distance to avoid becoming a stepping stone for Kim Kardashian to get rid of her "Hilton's little follower" status.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
The script of "Kung Fu 2" has not been written yet, but Fan Wumian felt that several versions of the detailed outline were remarkable. He picked the version that satisfied him the most and set the total length of the film to about 2 hours. He tried to make the characters of various supporting roles more full. He also planned to let Uncle Tat and Natalie Tong, two of Star's golden supporting actors, to help with guest appearances.
You can't pick Xingzai's peaches without even saying hello.
So after signing a contract with Sony Columbia Pictures with a new package of "US$150 million + the island screening rights for "Detective Chinatown ", Fan Wumian immediately called Xingzai.
The other party thought that Fan Wumian wanted to talk to him about cooperating in the development of the land at 90 Repulse Bay Road, but when he learned that he had only acquired the full copyright of "Kung Fu" and had to shoot a prequel first, and would continue cooperation in the third part, it was obvious from Xingzai's tone that he was not very interested.
He has really acted in too many movies and his mentality has long been numb. Compared to making movies, it seems that real estate and shop speculation is now what Xingzai is most passionate about. He invests any money he earns in business.
these days.
The mainland's Shanzeiwang Fund and Boshi Fund quickly raised a large amount of funds through their own proprietary and agency sales channels, pushing the total amount of client assets under management to around RMB 1090 billion.
Faced with such a huge amount of funds, even Fan Wumian felt terrified. He notified the persons in charge of the two companies in advance and announced to the public that the subscription would continue to be open for another five working days and then be suspended.
After the cooling-off period, these newly raised funds will be invested in leading A-share stocks, and some will be allocated to real estate, infrastructure, minerals and energy and other fields in order to hedge some of the possible risks.
The Hong Kong City Bandit King Fund was busy shorting US financial stocks, real estate stocks, stock indexes, etc., mainly raising funds in the form of private equity funds, and the total scale quickly reached more than 330 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Under normal circumstances, it might take a long time to incubate slowly, but due to the uncertain outlook of the financial market and the sense of impending storm, the development cycle of these asset management companies has been greatly shortened.
Another good news is that Boshi Fund has been included in the first list of fund companies that have obtained QDII licenses due to its rapid growth in recent years and the help of some people.
Unfortunately, during the Chinese New Year, when Fan Wumian was talking with members of the think tank, he brought up the topic that mainland funds going overseas might run into a financial crisis, causing investors to suffer heavy losses.
I don’t know if it’s because of this incident, but the government seems to have postponed the launch of QDII funds, and plans to wait until the end of this year or the beginning of next year to make it public. In the initial stage, it will only be a pilot program, and each company that obtains a license will be given a quota of US$10 billion, which is equivalent to more than RMB billion.
In Fan Wumian's view, this is bad news for himself, but it is good news that is worth celebrating for the majority of investors.
Because the levels of fund managers vary greatly, especially when it comes to overseas investments, it is easy to be tricked by others. At the very least, after the scale is reduced, many investors will lose less and may be able to avoid losses of hundreds of billions of RMB.
Based on the calculation that one can only make 5 yuan from an average piece of clothing, this is equivalent to producing 200 billion fewer pieces of clothing. Investing now will result in a loss, but investing in the future will give one the opportunity to make money at the bottom. The scale of gains and losses involved is really too huge.
Recently, the United States has been desperately creating good news, hoping to boost the stock market bubble in developing countries and attract foreign investors to take over U.S. stocks.
After all, there are only a few investors who are willing to believe Fan Wumian's judgment. Seeing the American market desperately digging holes for people to jump into, he just thinks it's quite interesting.
It's no big deal to watch the fun. It's obvious that they have been cut off one after another, but many investors still don't learn their lessons and cannot blame others.
Moreover, only when the leek seedlings grow vigorously enough will some people be satisfied and start to harvest them. The more investors jump into the pit, the sooner Fan Wumian will have the opportunity to make a profit.
For example, Wall Street has recently been frantically selling packaged subprime mortgage products to countries around the world. Before the losses are reduced and the risks are transferred out, many financial tycoons absolutely do not want the bomb to explode in their hands.
It’s a pity that Huifeng Bank’s huge losses have sounded the alarm for financial institutions around the world, and not many unlucky people are willing to take over the losses.
Judging from the recent situation, Fan Wumian feels that the subprime mortgage crisis will not be far away from actually breaking out. All he needs to do is to hurry up and complete the layout, and then wait quietly.
July 3nd.
A Boeing 747 private jet belonging to the Dubai royal family landed at Hong Kong International Airport on Lantau Island.
Fan Wumian arrived at the airport VIP lounge in advance and waited. After meeting up with Britney Spears and others, he first filmed a program inside the airport. He planned to donate a total of 200 million Hong Kong dollars to a charity that specializes in helping sick children.
They then looked for passers-by to play games, including quizzes, dice rolling, and rock-paper-scissors. Whoever won would get a reward of 1 Hong Kong dollars, and 20 Hong Kong dollars would be donated in the name of these contestants, not directly to individuals.
After spending more than an hour to finish the game and recording enough material, the group boarded the plane and headed directly to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
It is worth mentioning that unlike what Fan Wumian imagined, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan did not come this time.
Britney Spears found several Victoria's Secret supermodels from nowhere, including Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Candice Swanepoel and Miranda Kerr, all of whom are popular members of Victoria's Secret.
There is no doubt that Fan Wumian felt that all of them were specially arranged by Britney.
In addition, Britney Spears also called out a new actress named Alexandra Daddario, saying that she had seen her videos on Youtube and thought she had a very hot body at the time, and felt that she was the type that Fan Wumian liked.
What could Fan Wumian say but secretly sigh that Britney was really good at judging people.
He really has no resistance to Alexandra Daddario, who has the most beautiful breasts and the hottest body in the American entertainment industry. The top green tea girl she played in the American TV series "Desperate Housewives" is too strong.
In the uncut version of the first season of True Detective, especially around the 16th minute of the second episode, Daddario only acted for a few minutes, but afterwards she made countless men around the world hesitant and speechless, and it was difficult to forget her.
Although she saved countless bad movies with her figure and beauty, this girl's presence is so low that Fan Wumian almost forgot that there is such a beauty in Hollywood worth exploring.
Compared with this group of beautiful girls, the ultra-luxury private jet worth hundreds of millions of dollars was not that attractive to Fan Wumian. He just felt that the space was so spacious that it was no exaggeration to say that it was a palace in the sky, with gold and splendor everywhere.
Compared with this plane, the Falcon 7X that Fan Wumian just bought looks particularly petty.
Fortunately, he doesn't like to get stuck in a rut and compare himself with the centuries-old heritage of a royal family.
Besides, it's just a private jet worth several hundred million dollars. After a while, Fan Wumian will be able to afford it.
