Chapter 515: The Blackmail Is Serious

Just finished speaking.

Fan Wumian couldn’t help laughing.

As expected, he was not immune to the temptation and subconsciously felt sympathy for women and began to persuade them to become good people.

One can sense a clear kind of stupidity from this girl of the same age named Ling Ling. She must be so desperate for money that she is still standing on the shore and has not completely jumped into the water.

If you have really given up, you won’t specifically ask friends to be with you and protect you, especially if they are colleagues at the company. If the news gets out, you will easily be ruined and completely socially destroyed.

Of course.

The modeling circle is also a big melting pot. We cannot rule out the possibility that she and her friends got involved and covered for each other.

He once saw an actress who seemed to be glamorous and famous on the surface. She looked so pure and sweet, and created a “white, rich and beautiful” persona to the outside world. Later, when he heard from his colleagues in the circle, he learned that she often explicitly charged a price to attend dinner parties.

If someone said that others were willing to give two or three hundred thousand just to chase stars, have a meal and chat, Fan Wumian would never believe it.

Sure enough, not long after, news came out that the other party had cheated on her boyfriend, secretly gave birth to a son for a wealthy sponsor, and was given a large villa.

Having seen many examples of people who just wanted to stop but could not resist the temptation and became greedy, and thus were completely drowned in the big dye vat, Fan Wumian kindly gave a few reminders.

All I can say is that once you’ve experienced the joy of making quick money, it’s hard to go back to working hard for a salary that’s barely enough to make ends meet.

Some escorts with good looks and figures can earn several thousand yuan a night, and it is not difficult for them to earn over 10 yuan a month. If it is a poor rich girl like Ling Ling who graduated from a prestigious school and signed a contract with a company to be a print model, if she gives it her all, her income will probably be even more outrageous.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now, just tonight, several wealthy businessmen in the private room have secretly looked at her several times, and they are almost drooling with greed.

Any friend who is invited by Mr. Wang to accompany him would spend three or five hundred thousand yuan as if it were just for fun.

For example, Mr. Li, who runs a construction company, was chatting with his friends and said that he accompanied clients to Australia City for a reception and lost more than 800 million in two or three days, losing all the profits from the order. One of his branch companies had worked for half a year in vain.

Another wealthy businessman took a fancy to Xu Beihong’s “Slave and Lion” and was busy inviting friends to accompany him to Hong Kong to attend Christie’s autumn auction.

It is indeed much more comfortable to get along with friends in the same circle. You don’t have to worry about being accused of being pretentious or showing off, and it is also easier to find common topics and discover business opportunities.

This reminded Fan Wumian that he needed to take some time out to expand his network.

For example, the Hong Kong City Club and Li Chaoren’s Deep Water Bay Golf Club. If you go there occasionally, you may be able to help the Paulson Hedge Fund on Wall Street and the newly established WM& Rogers Hedge Fund find many potential big customers.

The scale of the securities and fund market in the mainland has not yet developed, and there have been large-scale bankruptcies in the past two years. The industry is in a trough that is generally underestimated.

In Fan Wumian’s eyes, this situation is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to build a position and buy at the bottom. It is in line with the saying “buy when no one is interested, and sell when there are many people talking”, which helps to maximize profits.

It just so happened that Xijiapan could mortgage a loan of about 1 million RMB, and it had previously invested heavily in Sanyao Heavy Industry and made a profit of about 4.6 million RMB. It was just right to pledge some of the money for a second time and try to reallocate some high-quality assets.

For example, China Merchants Bank Securities is now valued at around RMB 30 billion.

Based on the calculation that it can grow into an industry leading stock with a market value of 10 billion RMB in 1000 years, its own rate of return is almost 30 times.

But the account cannot be calculated in this way. If we provide timely investment and establish good relations with the management of China Merchants Bank Securities, there may be a chance to cooperate with them to set up a fund company independently, use the channels of China Merchants Bank to attract major clients, and then let China Merchants Bank sell and promote the funds on their behalf.

Ordinary public funds can only earn some commissions and management fees, while private funds have the opportunity to adopt the “2+20” model, which is a 2% management fee plus a 20% performance fee.

Even if he just imagined that his fund company managed hundreds of billions of assets of private equity clients, and then spent a lot of money to invest in high-quality assets, and then took 20% of the profits as dividends, it would be enough to make Fan Wumian so happy that he would be at a loss and instantly raise the priority of this new project to the highest level.

In the private room, Fan Wumian waited until everyone else had sung to their heart’s content before he picked up the microphone and ordered a few of his own songs. Otherwise he was worried that once he opened his mouth, no one else would dare to sing.

His skills were there, and he defeated Mr. Wang and his team in an instant, which drew applause from everyone. It was a little after eleven o’clock in the evening.

While no one was around, Fan Wumian asked Ling Ling:
“How much money do you need for tuition so that you can redeem yourself and live a normal life?”

Ling Ling seemed to have already figured it out and replied:

“I’m studying communication and new media, and I should be in my third year of college. The tuition fee for two years is about 8 yuan. If I can find a way to work part-time, saving 10 yuan should be enough.”

Fan Wumian asked, “How much do you have now?”

“Add the 1 I gave you tonight, so the total is about 17000. I guess I’ll have to save for another two years.”

“.So, it was only 7000 yuan before?”

Fan Wumian said happily:
“Not bad, it’s more than my family’s total savings when I was in high school. If someone asks you if you’re willing to go with me later, just insist that you want 10, and then take the money back to school. Just consider it a good deed I’ve done, no need to thank me.”

“???”

Ling Ling was wondering who would be so kind as to give her money for no apparent reason, obviously knowing nothing about business entertainment.

Zuo Ziyan’s parents will come over for an inspection tomorrow. Mr. Wang is short of funds for expansion everywhere. If he can get an injection of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, he will have the opportunity to leverage through the bank and spend one dollar as five or six dollars, leveraging new projects with a total investment of to billion yuan. This may directly determine the future of Wanda Group.

He also hoped that Fan Wumian could say a few good words in front of Zuo Ziyan’s parents to finalize this cooperation, so of course it was necessary to win him over.

The entire dinner tonight revolved around him. Any businessman who understands the ways of the world would not do such a stupid thing as “a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step” and fail at the critical moment.

After a few minutes, Mr. Wang’s personal female secretary took the opportunity to sit next to Ling Ling and whisper something to her while Fan Wumian was singing.

Straight to the point, the female secretary asked:
“Do you want to go with Mr. Fan tonight? As long as you take good care of him, we can discuss other things. If you’re lucky, you might even become a star. It’s much more promising than being a small model, don’t you think?”

Know the importance of this dinner tonight.

Mr. Wang’s female secretary had been paying close attention to Fan Wumian and Ling Ling the whole time, and discovered that he seemed to like this girl quite a lot. She immediately started to think of other things and tried to share the boss’ worries.

Unlike Pu Jiajing, who has no initiative at all and likes to slack off as long as Fan Wumian doesn’t explain, the personal secretaries of other big bosses are mostly graduated from prestigious universities, have high emotional intelligence and IQ, have annual salaries of hundreds of thousands, and are extremely capable.

After hearing these words, Ling Ling had no way of guessing what the other party meant.

If her father had not gone bankrupt and run away, she would have despised this kind of behavior of exchanging her body for benefits. However, now she has no place to live and even food and tuition have become a problem. Tonight, she accepted the money and came to such an occasion, which means she has acknowledged the reality and bowed her head.

In addition, Fan Wumian had specifically reminded her in advance, so even though she felt that lying was not a good idea, Ling Ling hesitated for a long time before gritting her teeth and saying:
“This will cost extra, 10!”

Not taking this little money seriously, Mr. Wang’s female secretary was relieved after hearing this and said cheerfully:

“Okay, give me your bank card number, and I’ll have someone transfer the money right after I leave with Mr. Fan.”

“Do whatever you are told to do. Don’t say anything you shouldn’t say. Don’t delay things. You look pretty smart. Your wealth ranks among the top 10 in the country. Do you know how thick Mr. Fan’s thighs are?”

“Be smart, maybe you’ll see you on a TV show soon. You’re lucky, I had someone look for you for two or three hours during the day to select you from a bunch of models. Others can’t even dream of squeezing into your side.”

As she spoke, the female secretary looked Ling Ling up and down.

I secretly felt that she had indeed grown into an attractive person with good conditions in all aspects. Although she looked like a fresh and unworldly little white rabbit, I didn’t expect that she would be so harsh when it came to extortion, asking for 10 yuan right away.

In the past, when I entertained other people, I invited some well-known car models and young actors, and the price was about the same.
