Chapter 655 Dreams come true
Come to Dubai.
The group checked into the Sail Boat Hotel, which is known as a seven-star hotel.
The decoration of the hotel's guest rooms seems luxurious, but it exudes an old-fashioned air from the inside out. The guest rooms use a lot of luxurious materials such as gold, marble and gems. The door handles, faucets, ashtrays, coat hooks and other details are all plated with gold. The bathroom is even equipped with a 24K gold shower head.
After checking it out, Fan Wumian found that he didn't like it very much, but the room was free, the suite was over 300 square meters, and he was given two bottles of Romanee-Conti red wine and a box of Cohiba cigars for free, which together were worth three or four thousand dollars. There was nothing to complain about.
Facing the camera, he tried his best to praise the trip's strengths so as not to make the sponsors of the trip unhappy.
The floor is very high, and the sea view outside the window is charming. You can clearly see the "Palm Jumeirah" and the famous "World Islands".
Of these two artificial islands, the latter will be left unfinished and gradually eroded by the sea, but the former will be successfully put into use and attracts a large number of tourists every year.
In late March 2007, Dubai's real estate market had not yet been affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, and many grandiose miracle projects were in full swing of construction, with the intention of building a modern and dreamy tourist city in the Middle East, relying on tourism, shopping, real estate and other industries to maintain local sustainable development.
no way.
Dubai's oil reserves are relatively small among the seven emirates of the UAE, accounting for only about 5% of the UAE's total oil reserves.
Similar to those Victoria's Secret supermodels, if they don't think of ways to find other ways out, it will be difficult to maintain a glamorous life for a long time. Once the advantages are exhausted, they are likely to have a miserable old age.
Thinking of the "Hengda Sea Flower Island" project on the South China Sea Island, Fan Wumian only lamented that super-large artificial islands like this often end up not very well. The disadvantage may be that the construction cost is too high and there is a lack of sufficient buyers to take over.
After all, if you just want to go on vacation, renting a house is obviously more cost-effective than buying one directly.
Ever since he learned that he could rent some ready-made luxury islands in the Maldives for only tens of thousands of dollars a day, Fan Wumian no longer had the desire to buy an island.
Instead of spending tens of millions of dollars to develop an island in the Maldives and spending money and manpower to maintain it every year, it would be better to develop several small luxury resorts in Jiuzhaigou, Yangluo, Dunhuang, Yubeng, Meili Snow Mountain and other places. At least the transportation is more convenient and safer, and you can choose a place to relax from time to time, just like the winery I invested in before.
After visiting the guest rooms.
The white guy in charge of filming had not left yet. Fan Wumian pretended to be unaware and opened his toiletries bag facing the camera, saying:
"This is what Britney gave me. Let's see what's in it. She persuaded me to invest an additional $2000 million last year, saying that she wanted to develop something that would have a great market."
"Oh, milk-scented shower gel, it smells so good, and the shampoo also smells sweet like milk, and the soap smells like pomegranate and orange? I've never used this before, but I quite like the smell."
"Perfume, chocolates and canned cocktails? I understand all that, but what the hell are the snowflake-shaped necklaces and tampons? Did she give me the wrong makeup bag?"
In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, it’s just an excuse to promote the product.
Given the current popularity of Ms. Monster’s account, it would be a shame not to use it to promote and sell products.
In January this year, the company spent US$30 to acquire an existing shopping platform. The platform had a pitifully small number of users and went bankrupt last year due to lack of investment, but the technology and development team were ready.
Fan Wumian plans to modify it and turn it into an American version of the "Dewu" boutique fashion shopping platform. Products like chocolate, shower gel, shampoo, tampons, etc. are all the first batch of products operated by the company and will be produced by mainland factories.
Not only that, he also sent people to discuss cooperation with Wangzai and Wahaha, and was about to customize beverages such as iced black tea and Wangzai milk, and sell them at a premium to those silly foreigners who were willing to spend money.
If a box of Wangzai milk that sells for 100 to dollars in China is sold to the United States with a new packaging pattern, the price will have to be at least to dollars. At the same time, the purchase amount must meet a certain amount, such as a single purchase of dollars or more to get free shipping.
The traffic of Ms. Monster's account is huge, and now it has hundreds of millions of fans around the world. Compared with collecting sponsorship fees and advertising fees on weekdays, Fan Wumian's biggest expectation for this project is actually to develop its own sales channel.
For example, chocolate costs less than 2 yuan to produce, but is sold at 2.5 US dollars. It also promises to donate 5% of the net profit to a separate charity foundation for each piece sold, and will place an invitation ticket to participate in the "100 million dollar challenge" in some chocolates. The "Monster Lady" brand chocolate, which was just launched in February, has a turnover of more than 2 million US dollars in just over a month. The delivery date is scheduled until May, and it is in short supply.
Unfortunately, the live streaming technology is not mature enough, and the sales and supply channels have not been thoroughly constructed. Otherwise, with Fan Wumian’s advantages in the field of live streaming, he would be able to lure those foreigners into fishing and make them line up happily to give him money.
After letting the cameraman leave.
After Fan Wumian took a shower with a gold shower head, it felt like... a bath. With his current wealth, it was difficult for him to make a fuss about such a fancy gimmick.
The time difference between Dubai and Hong Kong City is only 4 hours. At around 4 a.m. local time, Doutzen Kroes, who had a good sleep on the plane, couldn't help it after all and came to find Fan Wumian with a bottle of red wine.
Facing this 22-year-old Dutch girl who was 1 meters tall, Fan Wumian's knowledge of her was mainly concentrated in the film and television industry. He felt that he had seen her somewhere, but unfortunately she only looked familiar and he couldn't even call out her name.
Without any extra thoughts, Fan Wumian just wanted to drink some wine to help him sleep, and sleep for a few more hours while it was still dark there.
After inviting Doutzen Kroes into the house and drinking half a bottle of red wine, she always found ways to change the topic to Hollywood, and jokingly asked Fan Wumian to give her priority when he met a suitable role.
Seeing Doutzen Kroes put his hand on his leg, Fan Wumian was a little worried about an accidental discharge of the hand. Just then, he heard a knock on the door, and a bodyguard reminded him that Miranda Kerr was also here.
When Du Chen Klos heard the knock on the door, he wanted to tell Fan Wumian to ignore it, but he hurried to open the door, actively hoping to invite other big fish to "make trouble".
However, when Miranda Kerr arrived and found that Doutzen Kroes was also there, the atmosphere in the room became even stranger. The two of them accompanied Fan Wumian to drink and chat, and neither of them had any intention of leaving first.
Wait until around 5 a.m. local time.
After going to the bathroom, Fan Wumian felt sleepy and was about to leave when he returned to the living room, only to see Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr, both wearing only underwear and standing next to the sofa posing.
In an instant, he seemed to understand and became alert again.
Judging from the situation, it seemed that neither of them could outlast the other, and they were also worried that the other party would get there first, so they began to settle for the second best and decided to join forces to get some resources from Fan Wumian. They decisively reached an agreement while he went to the toilet.
When Fan Wumian's eyes were covered by Miranda Kerr's tie, he still thought that the modeling circle was indeed not simple. Then he sat on the sofa and began to enjoy himself instead of asking nonsense questions like "What are you doing?" and "Why are you unbuttoning your clothes?"
It's no wonder he has a weak will.
Faced with this kind of scene where dreams come true, which man can come and walk away without any hesitation?
It was not until a little after 7 a.m. local time that Daddario, who lived opposite Fan Wumian, tiptoed behind the door, looking out through the peephole from time to time, hoping to create a chance to meet Fan Wumian.
However, when the door finally opened, Daddario was surprised to see Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes looking around, walking out of the room one after another, with their hair a little messy and bright smiles on their faces.
Daddario really hoped that he had seen it wrong, or that he had remembered Fan Wumian's room number wrong, but in the end he had to admit the reality, and muttered in silence:
"Chinese men are conservative? Haha, I actually believed what the online blogger said."
Rather than disliking Fan Wumian's philandering, Daddario actually regretted not taking the initiative.
It was really because she came all the way from New York to Los Angeles and had not made any name for herself after several years, which made her value the hard-earned opportunity too much.
So Daddario decisively returned to the bedroom, changed into a blue-gray tight skirt, and fully utilized her own advantages, hoping to find an opportunity to grab resources from Victoria's Secret models before the dust settled completely (end of this chapter)
