Chapter 423: A New Opportunity From His Dreams
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wang Yan waited excitedly until midnight on the first. The mall was the first to open.
Under the new rules, every time the mall refreshed, it was worth looking forward to. Simply put, if the quality of the items offered could be measured by money — the price of the new item was worth more than ten times the price of the previous one.
In terms of money, being expensive meant better.
With a glance, Wang Fugui’s tiger body shook, then shook, then shook again..
Damn, damn, damn, damn!
It was finally here!
It was a divine artifact that Wang Yan had predicted would appear, and he hadn’t been waiting for it for a long time —
Attribute Modifier, Genius Edition!
The benefits that 79 points of all attributes brought to the young master couldn’t even be described within a single thesis.
Looks, figure, intelligence, health..
And most importantly, the waist and legs of one hitting on two others.
Cough, cough, it was still a little strenuous to hit two at the moment, so he had to use a cheat to rest. Moreover, as a man, he could not be satisfied with just hitting two..
In short, this was the biggest surprise!
[ Attribute modifier (Genius)]
[ You can use money to modify the attributes of your body until the maximum genius level, 89 points ]
[ Price: 50,000,000]
[ Between 80 and 89 points, each point will cost 10,000,000]
[ Note: The so-called talent is a blessing from the heavens. It cannot be controlled by wealth and power. It is even more difficult to pass on the genes. Michael Jordan’s son is mediocre in his university basketball league. No one in the Buffett family has Warren Buffett’s investment talent. No matter how well you train them, they cannot make up for the lack of talent. ]
[ But as the host of the system, you can easily make the leap from excellent to genius. You only need to pay a little bit of money. ]
[ Monetary ability is not invincible, but you are an exception. ]
[ Please do not miss this opportunity. ]
Nonsense!
Whoever missed this would be stupid!
Wang Fugui immediately ordered to pay for it, but he was immediately prompted by the system: You are a poor b*stard.
Experience points: 6,169/300,000
Cash: 5,280,000
Damn, the difference was too big.
In fact, Young Master Wang, who had just taken down the [ underground water purifier ] , could be said to be a poor b*stard.
The money in his pocket was only enough for his daily expenses, but to him, just getting to go to a nightclub and flirting with two girls was enough. To do something big… that was in his dreams.
Not to mention buying a modifier, he did not have enough to even buy the three godly cars.
Wang Yan had never felt that he was poor before. Today, he suddenly realized it.
Wang Fugui, this nickname was like a mockery of him.
“F*ck, money, money, I want to make money!”
Wang Yan was so anxious that he was circling in the living room. His mind was full of where to find money.
“Buying the modifier alone cost 50 million. For all attributes to be raised to 89 points, 400 million more is needed. The manor’s land needs at least 50 million to be leveled, paved, and planted. The manor’s design needs 100 million, construction needs at least 300 million to start, and shooting a movie needs 60 million…”
“F*ck, how many holes will I have in my pocket in the next half a year?”
“My monthly salary is only 35 million, and only a little more than 200 million in half a year. It’s far from enough…”
“Oh right, I haven’t even counted in the system mall that refreshes once a month!”
“What the heck, how am I supposed to play this?”
Wang Yan’s balls were aching and twitching.
Even so, Wang Yan was still not dissatisfied with the price of the modifier.
The purchase price of 50 million was worth it!
The modification price of 10 million per point was even more worth it!
As long as it could be modified, money was not a problem at all.
Those rich and powerful people would not even be able to buy such an opportunity no matter how much money they had. They would not even dare to think about it.
In comparison, how lucky was Wang Yan?
Actually, Wang Yan, who was poorer than him, did not need to care about the modification price at all. As long as he could get the modifier within a month, the rest could be done slowly.
Therefore, the biggest problem did not exist. The reason why he was anxious was that he could not hold back his excitement for a while.
Slowly calming down, the future genius Wang began to make plans according to the priorities of the matter.
January must spend money: modifier 50 million + film investment 10 million = 60 million, breathing wages 35 million, short of 25 million.
February must invest: $50 million for the unknown (tentatively) + $20 million for the movie (tentatively) + $20 million for the manor pre-launch capital = $90 million, $65 million short.
March must invest: $50 million for the unknown (tentatively) + $10 million for the movie (tentatively) + $30 million for the manor pre-launch capital = $90 million, $65 million short.
April must spend money: unknown goods (tentative 50 million) + film invest 10 million = 60 million, short of 25 million.
By May, even if the attributes are not changed, he was still short of 180 million yuan in total.
The more than 100 million he had in credit cards can not be cashed out, as they must be used to recharge the official brush, the development of Wangting Entertainment can not be stopped, even if it meant he would be short of money.
The 40 million yuan in cash that he had stored in the major banks could not be moved. That was the mark of the credit card limit, and it was also the guarantee of Wang Fugui’s credibility in the financial system.
So now, he had to find out how to make money to fill the hole.
They definitely could not count on The Witch. In the best case scenario, it would be released in July. The accounting was due in half a year. It would be fast if they could settle it in January or February next year.
The official funds flowing out of Wangting Entertainment would have to be used to pay off the credit card hole. After deducting taxes, it would just be enough for them to turn a profit.
The 800-yuan profit would be used to expand the business. The dividends would only be paid on a quarterly basis at most. The first payment might only be paid in April — most likely according to the financial year. That would have to wait until January of next year.
Although Wang Yan was the largest shareholder, he still had to respect the financial system.
Therefore, this hole was really too difficult to fill. He couldn’t think of a way to do it through the formal channels.
What about the informal channels?
The young master looked through the card inventory again, but he couldn’t find anything that could be used.
Could it be?
That he could only sell his body?
In the future, he wouldn’t spend money on sleeping with others. Instead, he would collect money. He would collect 50,000 yuan a night.
He could only earn 50,000,000 yuan by working hard every day for three months. It was still like a drop in the bucket though.
The key was knowing who was willing to pay for it.
Wang Yan wanted to call He Miaomiao on the spot. “Your Highness, do you need me to serve you in bed?”
If He Miaomiao wasn’t slapped awake by this, then she must have been in a daze.
The most reliable method to earn cash fast was to sell a portion of Wangting Entertainment’s shares.
If an organization was willing to recognize the value of 1.5 billion for Wangting Entertainment, selling 10% of their individual shares would earn them 150 million.
It would definitely be a loss to cash out on the company now though. The value of Wangting Entertainment was far from being maximized.
However, if they really could not find the money, the young master would have to take this route. The manor, the movie, and the mall could not be delayed.
There was always a trade-off in doing things.
However, cashing out was a very tricky thing.
As the founder of a company, there was a legitimate need for the company to invest when they did not have the money to develop.
However, if the company is not short of money, but the owner wanted some personal wealth for himself, it will definitely affect the perception of the company and internal confidence.
As a founder, if even you do not have confidence in your own company, how can you expect the organization to approve of your behavior?
No matter how badly you want money, at least wait until the company listed.
Therefore, if there is no legitimate reason for doing so, the money will not be easy to get.
In particular, the young master had just invested in two floors of other office buildings, the building was bought with “personal wealth”.
He had just put on a show of “if you have money, you can do anything.” Now that he could not slap himself in the face, it would easily arouse suspicion from the outside world.
The best way was to sell a favor to someone “unwillingly.”.
In any case, this matter could not be rushed, but he had to start planning immediately.
Therefore, Wang Yan could not continue wasting his time in Beijing. He had to return to Shanghai.
Li Yixu, Black Tiger, Chu Hong, and Chu Xin kept in touch with one another. The opportunities related to money basically fell on them.
Coincidentally, Liu Li was a relative. Besides practicing, she got to rest on New Year’s Day. Wang Yan simply checked out and booked the tickets. He flew back to Shanghai on the afternoon of the first.
When he got off the plane, Li Yixu volunteered to pick him up. The two of them talked about the preparations for The Witch.
The script and actors were almost ready. Now, the only work left to do was to save the crew and set the scene. There was no problem in starting to film on schedule.
The shooting started on the eighth of February. Wang Yan had to finish all preparations before the eighth of February.
Once shooting started, most of his energy had to be put on The Witch. It concerned too many people’s efforts and could not be ignored.
Time was very tight and the task was very heavy. The pressure was huge.
At this time, Li Yixu casually asked Wang Yan, “Brother, Brother Xizi is looking for an investment for The Panda recently. The opportunity to earn is quite good. How about it? Do you want to get involved?”
Very good, it seemed that brother still looked like a very rich man.
Poor Wang silently complained and continued to pretend to be rich. “We’ll see after this period of time… how many shares does he plan to release? Too little is meaningless as well.”
Li Yixu took it seriously. He drove and said casually, “It should be 20%, right? The first round is for the market value of the shares to increase, so it shouldn’t be too much. Let me tell you, if it didn’t matter, then it might not be possible for us to get it.”
Then it would be meaningful only if it could be hyped up..
Young Master Wang pursed his lips silently.
The Panda had been operating for more than three months. Outsiders did not know how well it was doing. At most, they would just watch the show. The industry knew it.
Simple description: the management was in a mess. The momentum was average, and there was no expected trend of an explosion.
Of course, the development was still in progress, and all kinds of statistics on the company were growing.
But that was because the entire industry was exploding, not because of how well Panda itself was doing.
In fact, the current speed of Panda’s growth was completely unworthy of its reputation.
It was tied to the current number one internet celebrity, Young Master Wang. The traffic and IP visits were superior to the sum of the two other platforms, but the user conversion rate was ranked last. It was obvious how big the problem was.
From Wang Yan’s point of view, the management team of panda was probably even worse than Wang Yunxi’s.
Although Brother Xizi had no strategic vision and was even less experienced, he was very strong in terms of execution. He could basically fulfill all of Wang Yan’s requirements without any discount.
The entire management team of Wangting Entertainment was even more active, united, and energetic. They looked like they could do many things.
As for the Panda… Hehe.
With a thought, Wang Yan suddenly asked, “Brother Xu, what’s the background of Panda’s management team?”
They were all young masters of the same level, so Li Yixu did not hide anything.
“I don’t know all of them. There’s a vice president who is Young Master Wang’s distant uncle, a husband of a relative of his mother’s family who is in charge of finance, and an online celebrity’s biological brother who is in charge of operations. The other few junior partners are all rich second-generation children. One of them is quite difficult to deal with and has a background in the government, but they don’t really manage things. They’re quite close to me.”
Hearing this arrangement, Wang Yan immediately felt confident.
“Is there a betting agreement?”
Li Yixu shook his head. “I’m not sure for now. But if we delay for a while longer, there’s a chance, right?”
“Oh? The funds can’t hold out?”
“There is indeed a problem with the funds. The key is that it’s impossible to spend all of your own money to accomplish this…”
Li Yixu was very honest and talked about it thoroughly.
A company that wanted to go public to cut leek originally needed to rely on a large number of institutions to work together to create hype. How would it be enough for him to invest money in.
Li Yixu said again, “Actually, it’s also bad luck. The stock market disaster has just happened, and the banking supervisor is pinching the flow of funds. The money in the market is very tight, and now the investment institutions are all shrinking. It’s really hard to get money just by relying on face.”
It was indeed so.
Two years ago, Young Master Wang could ask for tens of millions of investment just by showing his face, and many people would be willing to invest.
The situation this year was really not good.
Young Master Wang had come into contact with the small loan industry in parallel space and time. From the second half of the year until now, almost 70% of it had gone bad, giving birth to countless bad debts.
“The downward pressure on the economy is very great…”
Wang Yan was not a college student who did not know anything. He also sighed.
Li Yixu nodded. “Who says so? The central government has already proposed the definition of the ‘new normal in the economy’. The economic growth rate is inevitably slowing down. At this moment, the one who has cash is the real uncle… sigh, Uncle Wang, I’m counting on you for my pocket money!”
“Bah!”
Young Master Wang spat angrily. His mood was extremely bad.
‘I’m terribly poor myself!’
‘I don’t even know who I can get that 180 million from…’
However, regarding the investment in the Panda, if it was only 20 to 30 million, Wang Yan was really interested in investing.
Since it was still in the early stages, even if he were to suffer a loss, it would still be a gain in the long run.
If there was a future, he would follow them for another round. He would then go public to cash out and dig some meat out of Young Master Wang’s mouth to eat.
If there was no future, he would follow them even more. Anyway, there was a bet agreement. If he couldn’t get Little Wang to scam Old Wang, he wouldn’t lose anything.
With Wangting Entertainment’s unique advantage, they might be able to get some special terms. They could lay out a long line and eat something fat. They could slice the meat into thin slices and bake it..
Slurp!
(The thought of barbecued meat made the sick one who had been held back at home for a long time drool.)
No matter how much money they lacked, they could still squeeze out 20 to 30 million. Moreover, they could also use Wangting Entertainment as the main investor. Wang Yan lacked money, but the company didn’t.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan did not say it out loud.
“You pay attention to the Panda’s movements. I’ll see if it’s worth it.”
Li Yixu understood and nodded. He then changed the topic.
“Sir, do you need a welcome party tonight? There are two brothers who want to get to know you.”
Wangyan asked directly, “Are you here for our film and television project?”
Li Yixu added, “And also for your Wangting Entertainment.”
“Then forget it. I don’t know you young masters!”
“Haha!”
Li Yixu was amused and laughed. He walked Wang Yan to the door of the company and waved goodbye.
“Then that’s it. You do your thing. Call me if you need anything!”
“Okay, bye.”
When they arrived at the temporary base of the company, Wang Yan found Yu Qiuli and slapped a pile of cards on her desk.
“When did you… eh? What is this?”
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly. “Something that can make you feel good…”
“Get lost! Don’t play with me! Do you think I’m you? You have nothing to do every day…”
Yu Qiuli’s short temper did not coddle Wang Yan at all.
Her loyalty was too high, but her favorability was slightly too low. The result was just so cruel.
However, Wang Yan was not a good person either. He moved closer to her and sized up his expression curiously.
“Eh? You’re holding back half of your period? Why are you so magnanimous today?”
Pfft!
The staff member of the official brush team at the side spat a mouthful of water onto the screen. He did not even dare to wipe it off and rushed out of the office in a flurry.
As for Yu Qiuli…
Ding!
Loyalty Level + 1, Favorability Level -3.
Wang Yan’s eyes widened as she picked up his notebook and threw it at him. “Stinky Hooligan!”
Wang Yan took the hit, and his arm hurt even more.
F*ck, this was not worth it..
It was too difficult to increase loyalty above 90 points, and it was easy to drop favorability below 60 points. If this continued, he might really become an enemy.
The young master rubbed his chin and looked at the [ Happy Enemy ] status in the system. After massaging it for a while, he decided to go easy on her.
“What’s going on? Class monitor, is someone bullying you? Keep nagging me, I’ll help you stand up for yourself!”
Wang Yan was a good friend, and his chest was thumping loudly.
Yu Qiuli rolled her eyes, as expected, she didn’t appreciate it.
“Don’t be angry with me, I’m better than anything else! Hand over the password and keep it secret, hurry up and go away, I still have a lot of work to do!”
Wang Yan immediately knew why this girl was so irritable.
Logically speaking, she only needed to be responsible for swiping her credit card to recharge, so her work was very easy.
However, there was a serious shortage of staff in Wangting Entertainment, so when she was busy, she could not be bothered to care about her normal job position. If she got caught in a relationship with someone, she would lesser time for work.
Even Ling Ya had to work half a day every day, let alone Yu Qiuli.
Moreover, she was originally very independent, and she was unwilling to be an idle person.
So… she was tortured by the endless messy chores she had to attend to and became irritable!
He realized that staying here would really get in the way, so Wang Yan immediately said goodbye to Yu Qiuli.
“All the cards have their own customer service. You should first say hello and then follow the plan. It’s all up to you, come on!”
“Wang peeling skin!”
She rolled her eyes again, buried her head, and continued to work.
When Wang Yan returned to his office, he found that it was already occupied.
Before they moved, Wangting Entertainment had nowhere to set up offices. The newly established Department of Commerce, which was connected to Taobao’s live streaming, could only work in Wang Yan’s office for the time being.
“When will the new home be finished?”
Wang Yunxi replied without raising her head, “I just came back from there in the morning. I think it will take at least half a month… you can go and see for yourself regarding the details.”
Wang Yan was only responsible for proposing the strategy, not the implementation. There was no strategy meeting at the moment, so he would be in the way no matter where he stood.
Seeing this, he simply picked up the G65 key and left.
“What the heck, I’ll go take a look.”
When they reached the entrance of the parking lot of Sunrise Building, the security guard in the security booth saw the license plate and took the initiative to raise the railing while he was still far.
“Nice to meet you, Boss Wang! Yo, it’s Young Master Wang today!”
“How should I address you?”
Wang Yan flipped the cigarette back, but it didn’t turn over. The security guard smiled and waved his hand. “No need to greet me, Young Master Wang. My surname is Li. Your parking space is in Area B, number 88. Please come in!”
Wang Yan didn’t insist anymore and waved goodbye to Old Li.
It wasn’t a waste of effort last time. Sunrise real estate’s attitude wasn’t bad..
From the elevator to the 18th floor, a middle-aged man waited at the elevator entrance. When he saw Wang Yan, he immediately welcomed him warmly.
“Hello, Young Master Wang, welcome home!”
It was the new manager of Sunrise Real Estate, Chen Xiaobo.
Manager Chen accompanied Wang Yan around the two floors, asking about his well-being and responding to his requests. His attitude was extremely good.
Logically speaking, Wang Yan was in a special situation. Things had changed. Wang Yan definitely did not have the ability to decide whether Chen Xiaobo would stay or go. Manager Chen did not need to be afraid of him.
However, since Wang Yan had already shown enough strength and the style of a rich young master, he was worthy of respect.
Manager Chen was mature and tactful. Of course, he would not make the same mistake as his predecessor.
It was foreseeable that the days of Wangting Entertainment being in charge in the future would be very comfortable.
There was nothing much to say about the renovation. Under the encouragement of the ability to pay, the construction team worked on two shifts, 24 hours a day, and the progress was rapid.
After more than a week of renovation, they would use a week of ventilation to vent the air and set up the office equipment. They would definitely be able to move to their new home in about half a month to 20 days.
By then, all the anchors could officially start live streaming, and they could even start a new round of recruitment to expand the company.
Wangting Entertainment would enter a period of rapid development.
After a round of inspection, Wang Yan went out satisfied and went to meet the Miss Chu Xin for dinner.
