Mr. Wang was really anxious and left in a hurry without saying a few words.

He just came over to say hello and express his gratitude on his way to the airport. After all, Fan Wumian had helped so much, it would be impolite not to come in person.

In addition, the gap in strength is there, and it is not certain when Fan Wumian will be able to help in the future, so it is very necessary to maintain a good relationship.

Young people may be more casual when interacting with each other.

Older generation wealthy businessmen like Mr. Wang are best at accumulating all kinds of resources.

At ordinary times, they may seem too realistic and utilitarian. When they meet people who are of no help to them, they are too lazy to waste their breath on being polite. However, as long as they have climbed to a certain level and can be regarded as “a connection worth making” by the other party, they will be quite comfortable when getting along with them, and they are flawless in terms of social skills.

Just like this time, we helped Zuo Ziyan’s family to make connections, allowing Wanda Group to obtain approximately US$1 million in financing, which greatly improved its cash flow.

Most of the funds raised from the sale of nine shopping malls last year were used to fill holes in banks. Wanda Group does not have much liquid funds on its books. It has also invested in two commercial complex projects in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Faced with huge expenses, the group is struggling on the books.

After receiving more than 8 million yuan from Zuo Real Estate, almost all problems were solved in the short term, and there was even enough room to develop one or two new projects, so he was eager to rush to Guangzhou to investigate the market again.

With more than 8 million yuan in financing, Wanda can leverage a large project worth to billion yuan. Few developers in the mainland will only use their own funds for development. All of them are busy using bank loans, hoping to grow rapidly in a short period of time.

After successfully obtaining financing, Mr. Wang owed Fan Wumian a favor and immediately tried to find ways to repay it.

After Mr. Wang left, Fan Wumian personally unpacked the exquisite packaging of the two paintings and discovered that both were Wu Guanzhong’s “Pair of Swallows.”

The difference is that one is an ink painting on paper and the other is an oil painting version.

Large areas of white space are left in the painting. The simple white house and the trees by the lake almost bring the beautiful oriental artistic conception to the extreme.

Fan Wumian took a few steps back to admire it quietly, then said with satisfaction:

“Giving gifts is really a science. Mr. Wang likes collecting. I remember that he has Fu Baoshi’s “Dragon and Tiger” and Li Keran’s “Lijiang River Scenic Spot”. He bought them very early and the prices were still very cheap. But these two paintings are very much to my taste. They look refreshing and pleasing to the eye.”

Pu Jiajing was also looking at the painting and asked a cheesy question:

“How much are these two paintings worth? I guess it’s because you asked Mr. Wu Guanzhong to help you draw the corporate logo of Bandit King Media, so Mr. Wang specially gave him his works. But why did you give him two almost identical paintings?”

Fan Wumian didn’t quite understand the market either, so he stroked his chin and said:
“At present, it should be worth tens of millions. It is because you gave me two paintings that I say that gift-giving is a science.”

“Otherwise, if I only give him one painting, and I know that he has another, better one, I will inevitably feel uncomfortable.”

“When it comes to collecting, uniqueness is the best and the price is the highest. Just like my Qianlong Shroud, if there is another Dharani Sutra Cover that can be circulated on the market, the value of my piece will probably drop significantly.”

After hearing this, Pu Jiajing smacked his lips and exclaimed:

“You can just give away something worth tens of millions? I probably wouldn’t have earned that much in my entire life. Now I finally know who bought those things in the auction house. Giving money directly is too vulgar. This kind of gift will seem much more elegant.”

Fan Wumian glanced at her sideways:

“The efficiency of capital appreciation is hundreds of times higher than the rate of return on labor. Moreover, our capital is very large. If we were just working, we would not be able to compare the two.”

“Foreign wealthy people can achieve long-term inheritance of wealth through tools such as trust funds and offshore companies. Just like the inheritance tax in the United States, it is actually not levied on the super-rich. The actual payment ratio is probably less than 1%. Almost no one is stupid enough to give money to the IRS.”

“The fact is, if you work for a few more years and the old house I bought goes up in value, you’ll have a chance to make money from money after you’ve saved enough. If you want to take a shortcut, I can help you a little.”

“.What kind of shortcut? Take it off now, early in the morning?”

“???”

He spit on her.

Fan Wumian said speechlessly: “What are you thinking about all day long? I mean you should save more money and learn how to invest and manage your finances. You usually handle my business, but don’t you get any inspiration from it?”

“Li Chaoren’s driver made a fortune from his investments by eavesdropping on information while driving.”

“Even if you can’t find a boyfriend, you can’t think of me. Otherwise, I will bring other girls home to spend the night with you, and you will feel so empty and lonely.”

After hearing what he said, Pu Jiajing almost vomited blood. His resentment instantly filled up, and he quickly explained:
“I was just kidding!”

“tsk”

I guess few people live in the old villas on Julu Road.

It was impossible to hire a few security guards just to guard these two Wu Guanzhong paintings, so Fan Wumian planned to send them to Yanjing and temporarily store them in a bank vault. After the new courtyard was built, they would be hung in the study, private library or tea room.

Fan Wumian thought that his business was beginning to grow and he had more resources in the entertainment industry, so perhaps he could further spread the word that “he liked collecting” so that when other people asked him for help, they could cater to their interests instead of just talking and trying to get benefits.

Although he did not handle it personally, he was not immune to it when he occasionally asked someone to do something for him. Last year, he spent millions in the name of “public relations funds”, saving companies such as Tudou and Shanzeiwang Media countless troubles.

If he doesn’t like something given by someone else, he can give it to someone else, just like the gifts others bring when visiting during the Spring Festival. This way he can achieve a “balance in income and expenditure.”

In terms of interpersonal relationships, although it may seem insignificant, the expenses accumulate over time, and are actually huge. Fan Wumian follows the business rules, so the situation is already relatively good.

More than half of the profits of some construction, landscaping, lighting and other types of companies are spent on finding new orders. Even if they are willing to spend money, they have to find a way first.

I was reading the script at home this morning.

I unexpectedly received news that a company called Huaqiang International Group in Shenzhen was willing to transfer 1.5 million shares of corporate shares of China Merchants Bank Securities, with a price of only RMB 1.57 million, and that they needed funds for turnover.

This company is an old shareholder of China Merchants Bank Securities and just subscribed for a large amount of new shares a few months ago. In fact, it was a task forced upon it by the higher-ups.

The headquarters of Huaqiang International Group is in Shenzhen, and the headquarters of China Merchants Bank Securities is also in Shenzhen.

Seeing that the securities and fund markets were stuck in a quagmire, the sister companies had to lend a hand. In fact, the management of Huaqiang International Group was not optimistic about the prospects of China Merchants Bank Securities.

He was originally worried about not being able to circulate and cash out, but he happened to meet Fan Wumian who took the initiative to acquire the shares at a premium. The two sides hit it off and he took the opportunity to get rid of the “burden”.

After reading the information and feeling that there was no problem, Fan Wumian readily agreed to the transaction.

Just after I replied to the email, someone else came to visit.

A bodyguard reported that the other party was the founder of “Shanghai Dongcai Information Technology Co., Ltd.” and specialized in stock forum business.

Fan Wumian originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard the words “stock forum”, he changed his mind and agreed to take a few minutes to meet.

The reason for changing his mind was simple. The name of the company, coupled with its special Internet entrepreneurial direction, reminded Fan Wumian of the Eastern Fortune Network, nicknamed “Quanmao”.

He once registered an account on this platform in order to search for information to adapt a script. Later, for a long time, he kept receiving harassing calls and text messages promoting financial products and loans, which left a deep impression on Fan Wumian.

He was not clear about the specific value of Eastern Fortune Network, but since he had decided to try his hand at the fund business, he felt it would be a good idea to pave the way in advance and add a sales channel.

After chatting with the founder of this Internet company for more than ten minutes and learning that its revenue this year is expected to exceed 400 million yuan and its net profit will be around 100 million yuan, Fan Wumian readily agreed to raise 200 million yuan and asked for a % stake.

It is just a very small startup company that was established last year with a registered capital of RMB 260 million. It makes money by placing advertisements with securities firms and fund companies.

The founder of the company was overjoyed to get the financing successfully, and agreed without saying a word. Fan Wumian didn’t take it seriously, and just asked Pu Jiajing to contact a lawyer and bring people to draft a contract. (End of this chapter)
