Chapter 682 So many?

".Horse farm?"

"Like at the Jockey Club?"

"I used to like riding horses. When I was 15, my grandfather gave me a Serra France horse. I named it 'Moon'. Later, it swallowed plastic due to the negligence of the staff and died of intestinal perforation. The racecourse compensated me HK$100 million, and I never went there again."

After Fan Wumian hung up the phone, Zuo Ziyan spoke with a melancholy tone.

She was immersed in the memory of losing her beloved pet, but Fan Wumian could not empathize with her and only replied:

"What a coincidence! When I was a teenager, I picked up a little magpie. Later, it finally learned how to fly. I felt relieved like an old father. Unfortunately, it didn't fly far before it was bitten by a stray cat and quickly carried away."

Zuo Ziyan asked speechlessly: "What's so coincidental about this?"

"They are all pets, but your racehorse is a little expensive, so we poor people can only pick it up. The living environment we grew up in is very different. It's hard to imagine that a rich woman like you would come to our school to study, and in the end, it was a bargain for me."

After Fan Wumian finished speaking, he immediately realized that this topic was not a good one.

It has nothing to do with whether you are weak or not. It is purely about respecting science. No matter how nutritious the food is, it needs time to be transformed after it is eaten. If you don't give it a chance to recuperate, then of course you can't do anything at the critical moment.

really.

Zuo Ziyan smiled happily after hearing this, stretched out her arms to hug his neck, and said:

"This is probably fate. Sometimes I feel it's amazing that I chose you. I have a good eye."

I don’t dare to go into details.

Fan Wumian suddenly stood up and said:

"It's not a professional horse farm, but more like an animal farm suitable for vacation. I'm going to go to the study to check how it should be designed. If it's done well, I can copy the successful experience to my ski resort in Hokkaido."

"Uncle Qian from Deyunshe likes to raise horses, but I prefer cute little animals. If I own a small tourist farm, it would be very relaxing to go there occasionally. I must keep fewer sheep and rabbits because the smell is too strong and I can't enjoy them quietly."

"I thought it wasn't too much to enjoy myself occasionally given my current financial situation. I was really poor for a long time before, so now I feel guilty when I spend money on things that don't make much money."

Zuo Ziyan asked happily:

"You feel guilty, but you still buy yachts and private jets, and invest in so many luxury homes and wine estates? Maybe the money and values ​​you've been exposed to since childhood are influencing you. In fact, I don't waste money much, I only spend it on what I need to spend it on."

Fan Wumian shook his head and said:
"Yachts and private jets are considered consumption, but investments in real estate and wineries are very profitable."

"When Valentino launched its first batch of wines, I was worried that people might not buy them. But they were snapped up right after they were released. People said they had commemorative value and were suitable for collection. How many people are really good at wine tasting? Everyone's taste is different. They just buy for the brand. It's really easy to make money from luxury goods."

"I asked a company in Jinling to process a brocade silk scarf. The cost price was a few dozen yuan, but they sold it for two or three hundred dollars. Sometimes I even felt that I was making money unethically."

Zuo Ziyan smiled and said:
"It's pretty good. At least it's made of silk. Hermès scarves are more expensive, and some limited editions require connections to buy them."

While chatting, I went to the study and turned on the computer to look for relevant information about the "tourist ranch".

The focus is nothing more than characteristic homestays, cute animals, parent-child play facilities, flowers and meadows, and it seems that the investment amount will not be too much.

I checked what cute animals there were, and found that red pandas, macaws, miniature horses, and Scottish Highland cattle were all included in the list. As for the venue, I checked the Yanjing map online and found that the Honghua International Golf Club, located east of the Olympic Park, was quite good. It was located within the Fifth Ring Road and no one was interested in it at present, but it should have the opportunity to appreciate in value in the future.

As long as the investment amount is not low, with Fan Wumian's current strength, many problems can be easily discussed.

While checking the map, he stroked his chin and said:

"I haven't paid much attention to it before. There are many golf courses nearby. Is this business profitable? There is also a golf course next to Li Chao's house. The membership fee is so expensive, so he must be making a lot of money."

Zuo Ziyan said:
"Whether a golf club makes money or not depends on whether the personal connections are strong enough. Playing at an ordinary golf course costs a few hundred yuan, which many people find too expensive. However, some businessmen would rather spend millions of yuan in membership fees to queue up to join the Li family's golf club, because knowing more people can easily make a deal and earn back their money with a profit."

Fan Wumian also knew why people were flocking to it. He himself occasionally went to the Deep Water Bay Golf Club and Hong Kong City Club for a stroll, and he also raised over 100 million Hong Kong dollars in investment funds for the Hong Kong City Bandit King Fund.

While looking up the situation of the Yanjing Golf Club, Fan Wumian continued:

"I am planning to transform the Qing Dynasty Prince Fu's Mansion into a private club, mainly to provide services to the major clients of my fund company. When I have some spare money in the future, I may also buy a golf club and use it as a supporting facility for the Prince Fu's Mansion Club. Otherwise, it will be difficult to charge sky-high membership fees."

"If I can't make money from membership fees, then my investment in Prince Fu's Mansion will be a loss."

"It's not really a loss. A real palace can appreciate in value if it is well built, but if the rate of return is not high, it means losing money."

Zuo Ziyan poured cold water on him:
"Then wouldn't it be even harder to recoup the cost if we spend a few hundred million extra to acquire a golf course? It doesn't seem necessary. As long as you are good enough, the members of the private club are relatively successful. It doesn't matter whether there is a golf course or not. Take the Hong Kong City Club for example. The annual membership fee is hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and many people have been queuing for several years but still can't join."

Fan Wumian replied:

"That's right. With too many people around me, it's easy to be dragged into trouble. My private club should only be used for big clients to eat and drink, and occasionally have a place to stay when they go on business trips to Yanjing. I just said it casually. I don't have much interest in golf. It's just that I just took over the Fuwang Mansion in Yanjing, and I'm considering how to develop it in the future."

Last time in Yanjing, Fan Wumian promised to help a group of companies that were about to go bankrupt.

After more than half a month of discussions, he selected 149 worthy targets from 12 companies in trouble, including bed sheet factories, clothing factories, electronics factories, toy factories, etc. He planned to raise a total of 3 million yuan in three years to preserve a total of more than 5 jobs.

These are all businesses with little technical content and low returns. Under normal circumstances, Fan Wumian would never look at them. His plan is to use these factories to produce some potentially best-selling products, and then sell them through the Jingdong Mall.

Fan Wumian plans to eliminate all the products, such as the four-piece sets with large floral patterns or the stuffed toys that are so ugly that they are unbearable to look at, and try to obtain the authorization of a number of popular IPs, so as to sell them domestically while also doing export business.

The "Monster Mall" shopping platform incubated under the Monster Ms. project has been launched for trial operation this month. Fan Wumian still holds a number of shares in Amazon's online mall, and will be able to absorb part of the production capacity through these channels in time.

When doing business in the mainland, you should not be obsessed with money. You should always shoulder social responsibilities to broaden your horizons.

Fan Wumian didn't worry much about these small businesses, and only asked the family office to send someone to take charge. At this moment, he remembered something and said to Zuo Ziyan:

"Do you know how profitable the copyright of the Pokemon series is? Since its creation in 1996, it has earned the company tens of billions of dollars. Recently, I represented several companies in negotiating cooperation and licensing with the copyright holders, and then I found out that the price is really expensive."

"So many? Then Ah Mian, you should quickly think of a way to create some similar cartoon characters."

"You seem to overestimate me a little bit."

Changing the topic, Fan Wumian continued:

"After learning about this, I became more interested in Marvel Entertainment. If the superheroes become popular, I should be able to make a lot of money from derivative products such as clothes, figurines, cups, stationery, and games. It is difficult to make money from copyright development in the mainland, so I rarely consider this aspect. In the future, I can acquire or incubate more popular IPs." (End of this chapter)
