The Peninsula's richest man, starting from the game coming true
Chapter 93: Fame and Fortune! Am I really a genius?
Chapter 93: Fame and Fortune! Am I really a genius?
There was nothing special about the place where Xu Youlin arranged to meet. It was a French restaurant in Itaewon.
When Han Zhe drove over, he saw her standing downstairs waiting.
His handsome and cold facial features under his short hair became lively the moment he saw the Ferrari. He was only wearing a simple black sweatshirt and black shorts. Under his shorts, his legs were straight and slender, full of athletic energy, with some clear muscle lines. He was wearing a pair of AJs, looking relaxed and hip-hop.
"Oppa!"
She smiled and waved to Han Zhe. Beside her, her own black Ferrari 296 was lying quietly on the ground.
Xu Youlin moved aside, and Han Zhe parked his car next to hers.
Xu Youlin's face was filled with excitement and excitement: "I bought 296 because SF90 is temporarily unavailable, and I have never come across this Taylor version. Let me take a look first!"
"Are you in such a hurry? Didn't I say I would let you play enough tomorrow?" Han Zhe found it a little funny. Xu Youlin had always been a calm person, but why did she get excited like a little girl when she saw a car?
Xu Youlin muttered, "Then Oppa, please don't come over today, Oppa, hurry up~ I'll take a look first~"
"I got it." Han Zhe got out of the car with a smile, and saw Xu Youlin sitting in. She looked left and right, and touched it for a long time before she stood up and reluctantly ran to the hood at the back, squatting outside the glass cover behind the hood and looking at it.
"Compared to the original, the carbon fiber and color look really good." Xu Youlin looked up reluctantly, and said impatiently, "It is said that this car is the fastest among mass-produced models. I will test the lap time tomorrow to see how fast it can run. Don't worry, the wear and tear of the tires will be mine. I will change the tires for you to run on, and then change them back for you after the run."
"Okay." Han Zhe looked at her Ferrari 296 for a few rounds and felt that it was not unreasonable to call this car the little SF90. Even the car keys were basically the same.
Xu Youlin said with a smile: "How about you drive my car later?"
"I drove too much today. Are you still interested in driving tomorrow? I was counting on you to be my driver."
Han Zhe smiled and walked into the French restaurant with her. At this moment, some passers-by were secretly raising their mobile phones to take pictures of his Ferrari.
"Of course! I want to buy a SF90 Taylor myself and I don't know how long I have to wait!"
Xu Youlin was a little angry when she said this: "Ferrari manufacturers are so troublesome. You have to queue up to buy a regular version of the SF90. I ordered the Taylor version this year, but they said I might not get the car until the end of next year.
I have bought several Ferraris, but I still get this kind of treatment. I am really impressed.”
After finishing speaking, Xu Youlin looked at Han Zhe sourly, and suddenly she thought of something and smiled sweetly: "Han Zhe Oppa~"
"Speak nicely!" Han Zhe shuddered.
She is really not suitable for acting coquettishly like this - as a Hong Kong beauty with a heroic spirit, it feels a bit weird for her to act coquettishly.
Xu Youlin rolled her eyes, but then continued in an enthusiastic tone, "You'll be able to get the Taylor Edition this year, and it's probably the first in Asia. You must have a lot of connections at Ferrari, right? Can you get me one, too? If I can't buy the Taylor Edition, just buy a regular SF90. I think this car doesn't need any modification, and I can play with it for a long time."
"I didn't realize you were so rich." Han Zhe looked at her with some surprise.
"Ah~ Oppa, of course I can't just throw money around like you do, but I can still afford to buy a decent car or something, right?"
Xu Youlin said unhappily, "Besides, who would pay the full amount for a car all at once? It's fine to place an order first and save up later. Can Ferrari just give me a ready-made car?"
“Is the SF90 that difficult to arrange?”
Han Zhe was a little surprised. Mass-produced ones shouldn't be that difficult to make.
"There's nothing we can do. The global demand for that car is huge, and I'm not the first in the order of reservations here," Xu Youlin sighed.
"Seven months. They told me that even if you book it right away, it will take seven months. For the Taylor version, it will take at least a year and a half."
Xu Youlin stared at Han Zhe, blinking her big eyes: "Or, if you get tired of playing with it, just sell this car to me and I will buy it at the original price!"
"I'm planning to keep it for the garage."
Han Zhe smiled and said his plan: "When the time comes, I will build my own mansion and make a super large private garage. When the time comes, I will put all the Bugatti Veyron, Chilong, LaFerrari, and Apollo in it."
"Tsk tsk. I don't understand how rich you are." Xu Youlin could only shake her head.
She could only save enough money in a year to buy a Taylor version of the SF90, and she had already spent all her spare funds. But from what Han Zhe said, buying this car was like buying a toy, which was really not on the same level.
"Let's put it this way. Next time I see an opportunity to buy a rare model, I'll call you and ask you. If you want it, I'll buy it for you directly. When you buy a car from me, you can usually get it directly within a day or two, but I can't control the interior details. I can only take what's available."
Seeing that she really liked the car, Han Zhe simply did her a favor - he would give discounts on items purchased from his daily updated personal assets, and if someone bought it at the original price, he could still make another profit by reselling it. It was a win-win situation for all three parties.
"Really?" Xu Youlin's eyes lit up: "Supercar, if it's a supercar, just contact me!"
"Okay, got it."
Han Zhe smiled, and then just said: "But this depends on luck, I don't know when I can buy a car."
"I understand." Xu Youlin said with a smile: "As expected, it's Oppa who has to do this to steal someone's love."
"What do you mean by stealing your love from me?" Han Zhe said with disdain, and sat down with her to order food.
Xu Youlin just crossed her legs leisurely and skillfully ordered some of her favorite dishes and signature dishes: "If you are willing to drive a nice car for me, you are my dear Oppa, why should I be polite to my dear Oppa. OK, I just ordered these, is there anything else you want to eat?"
Han Zhe took a look and added a grilled lamb chop and a steak. He felt that pasta, salad and the like were just average. He still preferred meat.
The two chatted and laughed, and finally Han Zhe suddenly talked about the club.
"Hey, what's going on with your club?"
Han Zhe asked.
"When we first started playing with cars, we always felt that there was no place to get together, so we thought about opening a supercar club together."
Xu Youlin's eating posture was very elegant, and it was obvious that she had learned it specially. It was completely different from Han Zhe's way of eating with big mouthfuls.
"At first, we wanted to have a place where we could park our cars, drink coffee, and play games. Later, we decided to formalize the business and rent out and exhibit the unused luxury cars. We also bought a few nearby shops and turned them into racing supplies stores and modification shops.
We usually play with cars like Dodge and GTR, and we often modify them. Now we have also started to modify Lamborghini and Ferrari. We are quite famous in Seoul. Even those car lovers in Tokyo often come to play with us.
We also often go to Tokyo or Europe and the United States to play with our car-loving friends.
It’s still more fun to drive in Tokyo. We used to drive in Metropolitan Highway. Do you know Metropolitan Highway? "
Xu Youlin gets excited when talking about these things: "It's just a highway in Tokyo. A few years ago, the control there was not so strict. We often secretly pulled our cars over there to run, race, and drive on the street, just like those Tokyo drag racers you have seen in anime.
Another time, I was chased by the police for two hours and was almost caught. Why are you looking at me like that? "
Xu Youlin noticed Han Zhe's look and rolled her eyes at him coquettishly: "I only ran away a few times. The locals also play like that anyway, so what's the big deal."
"There are rules for speeding over there. For example, if a car loses control, it is not allowed to crash. Instead, it would rather crash into a wall - the car will be destroyed and the person will die, but it will not affect other ordinary people's cars."
"Unfortunately, there was an accident a few years ago where someone lost control of their car and crashed into a wall, resulting in the cancellation of their registration. We can no longer run, mainly because we are getting a bit older and feel that risking our lives like that is not appropriate, so we all switched to the official track."
After Xu Youlin finished speaking, she smiled and said with some pride: "I am now qualified to be a professional racer. I even competed in an F3 race at the beginning of this year! My current dream is to become the first female F1 driver. Although it seems difficult, I want to try."
Han Zhe still admires this very much. Considering Xu Youlin's family background, she can have such an unattainable dream and is willing to work hard for it. No matter what the result is, it is something worthy of respect.
But the reality is probably quite cruel. Being a professional F1 driver is extremely difficult. It is not on the same level as ordinary professional drivers.
"Come on, I will support you. If you can really achieve a good result, Oppa will get you a team and you can run with my company's logo."
Han Zhe encouraged him and said with a smile: "Maybe I will also make cars in the future. When the time comes, I will create my own sports car brand, and you can help me make a name for myself on the racetrack."
"Call~!" Xu Youlin agreed with a smile, but then her eyes became a little confused. She sighed and laughed: "I hope there will be such a day."
"How is your club's current profit?" Han Zhe asked.
"That's it. We bought the building directly. If we calculate the cost, it will probably take many years to get back the money. But a house is an asset after all. If we don't count the initial investment, we can make hundreds of millions or even billions a year now."
Xu Youlin said uncertainly, "Each of us gets a small share of the dividends, and it's probably not enough to cover our expenses for playing with cars. For example, the price for renting the racetrack for half a day tomorrow is 160 million, and that's based on our frequent visits and discounts."
"You also have to factor in fuel costs, tire costs, replacement of worn brake calipers, and repair costs in case of a crash or collision."
Xu Youlin shook her head and said, "You understand now, right? You spent over a billion that day. Why can't we come up with the money? It's not that we don't have money, but we just can't come up with that much money and burn it directly.
It costs tens of millions per person to go out for a car ride for a party. We buy new cars, clothes, shoes and bags every year, and we also have to have a serious business to run. I don’t have any career, I just want to race cars.
Not to mention going abroad occasionally. For example, I go out to watch various racing competitions every year, and also participate in some Asia-Pacific regional competitions or private club gatherings and competitions. That all costs money.
Do you know how much money a professional racing driver spends? Just spending money to take the team out for a race can cost hundreds of millions of dollars."
Seeing Xu Youlin's distressed expression, Han Zhe finally understood that professional racing is not something that ordinary people can touch.
"Fortunately, I don't have much interest in racing for now. But I am still somewhat interested in building an F1 racing track. Youlin, you said before that you two were planning to build a new racing track together?"
Han Zhe asked, and Xu Youlin sighed: "It is said that there is this idea, but if this thing is to be done, it must be done well, especially since this business will compete with the Jeolla Province City Hall for revenue, so it is still quite troublesome to do it.
Based on current labor costs and prices, if you want to build an F1-level racing track, it will cost at least hundreds of billions.
Our initial idea is to discuss with the Gyeonggi Province City Hall and form a joint venture. Gyeonggi Province will provide the land and we will be responsible for the construction. The price will be much lower, but it will cost at least two or three hundred billion won to build a similar one.
We also need to talk to F1 officials, but ever since the Lingyan Circuit had a big scandal when it contracted the event, F1 has had a bad opinion of the peninsula.
We can only say that it is still in the planning stage.”
Xu Youlin shrugged and said, "It will take at least four or five years to advance this project. If you are interested, we can talk about it later."
Han Zhe temporarily buried this matter in his heart - he felt that this matter could really be done. It was not just as simple as becoming famous and making money. Cooperating with the city hall could also deepen his local interests. Even if there was a small loss, it would not matter.
The price of hundreds of billions of won may seem exaggerated, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem that outrageous.
Han Zhe then stopped discussing racing and started chatting with her about other things. The taste of this French restaurant was better than Han Zhe had expected. It was a pity that without the physical strength buff, he was no longer the glutton he used to be. But even so, the amount of food he ate in one meal was almost twice that of an ordinary person, probably because the energy he consumed during exercise far exceeded that of an ordinary person.
After eating and drinking, Han Zhe went downstairs and simply left the car to Xu Youlin to drive for fun, while he drove her Ferrari 296 for fun.
Xu Youlin excitedly drove his SF90 in front and led the way, and Han Zhe followed. Their club was located in the north district of the city. Xu Youlin was familiar with the route and avoided many bumpy roads. When they arrived, Han Zhe recognized the location of their club without her introduction.
A two-story building that covers an area of about 200 square meters. The first and second floors are all covered with oversized floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The exterior walls are painted in a conspicuous black, which forms a sharp contrast with the pure white decoration inside the store.
There was no signboard, only a line of artistic calligraphy hanging on one side of the wall. The English font meant "Supercar Club" without even a special name prefix.
Behind the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, what comes into view are the various sports cars parked inside, and as expected, they are not ordinary sports cars.
A new-looking McLaren P1, a yellow Lamborghini Aventador, and even an old red Ferrari!
Among these three cars, none of them is inferior to Han Zhe's in grade. The only advantage of Han Zhe's SF90 is that it is newer than these cars and is the latest limited edition.
Xu Youlin arrived at the door and honked the horn, and the huge glass door at the entrance of the store opened automatically. She drove in, and Han Zhe followed her and drove the car directly to an empty space in the lobby on the first floor.
This place is simply like a sports car exhibition stand - or it was designed this way. Han Zhe drove in and saw that in addition to the three supercars displayed near the glass window, there were several less valuable sports cars parked in the store.
Among them, there is a car that I have seen before, which is the same model as Xu Youlin's, but with a different color scheme. It should be the red Ferrari 296 driven by Chen Jun, the green McLaren 540C driven by Quan Daojun, and the black and yellow Lamborghini Huracan driven by Li Entai.
The area of the first floor of this store is nearly 200 square meters, which is mainly used for parking. Han Zhe drove in, parked the car, and after getting out, he heard footsteps coming from the spiral staircase leading to the second floor.
"You're here? Han Zhe, you said you didn't have time to drink with me these past few days, but how come you're free when Youlin invites you?"
Chen Jun's laughter came from the stairs, and Han Zhe also smiled: "What's the point of going out to drink every day? It's better to stay at home and accompany my girlfriend."
"Which girlfriend?" Chen Jun joked as he came down the stairs and gave Han Zhe a warm hug. Then he said in a teasing manner, "You bought a new car but didn't tell us about it. It was Youlin who found out about your Instagram update and told us."
"I followed you on Instagram when you sent me a message. We follow each other. You can't blame me if you didn't see it."
Han Zhe said with a smile.
Since the last drink, at Xu Youlin's invitation, Han Zhe joined the Kaltalk group chat of rich second-generations who like supercars. Men generally don't exchange INS, but Han Zhe also followed this group of people out of courtesy. They all followed Han Zhe back and took the initiative to leave messages on his INS to congratulate him on his new car.
This is also the reason why Xu Youlin took the initiative to invite him to the track.
Although some people had a bad time with George Han in the nightclub that day, this group of people all abided by the rules and agreed to compete. Since George Han won, even if they lost face, they would not pretend nothing happened.
Han Zhe is now considered one of his own. Even if he still feels dissatisfied, he will only look for opportunities to determine who is better within the circle. He will no longer be as hostile as before.
"Hey! By the way, I heard that you were in the spotlight again a few days ago. You beat up LG's Choi Seung-hwan's face? And you even got the nickname Peninsula Batman?"
Chen Jun couldn't help laughing as he spoke: "This title is really high-profile. You have become famous overnight. Many people are asking us about you."
"The news spread so quickly?" Han Zhe was amazed, while Xu Youlin looked confused: "What Batman?"
"You don't know yet? That's right, you've been tinkering with your racing car, Han Zhe, all day. Come up and have a chat. We're all quite curious about what's going on."
Chen Jun smiled and said, "Only Quan Daojun and Li Entai are here today, so there aren't many people."
"Whose cars are these?" Han Zhe pointed to the McLaren next to him.
"This LaFerrari belongs to Youlin. She is a long-time Ferrari fan. It was not easy for her to get this second-hand LaFerrari. She is reluctant to drive it and just keeps it for a drive occasionally.
The McLaren P1 belongs to Kwon Do-kyun, and this Lamborghini belongs to Lee Eun-tae."
Chen Jun briefly introduced himself, and then said with some pride: "How is it? You guys are of pretty good quality, right?"
"What about you?" Han Zhe glanced at him and said, "My buddies all have SF90, why do you only have 296?"
"Brother." Chen Jun was speechless for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, you have a luxury car too! I also have a Ferrari 458 in my garage! This 296 is new, and I'm not allowed to drive it more often? Sooner or later, I'll get a LaFerrari!"
"Chen Jun and I both like Ferrari. He also likes retro cars. There are many old models in the garage at home. It's fun to drive them around occasionally."
Xu Youlin smiled and said something for Chen Jun.
Han Zhe smiled thoughtfully and said, "No wonder, I remember that 458 is also an old model, right? It's almost ten years old."
"Ah! It's all your fault! I originally wanted to be the first owner of the SF90 Taylor in the Peninsula."
Chen Jun punched Han Zhe lightly: "Now it's okay, the first place is gone, we don't like to play with our own people, and we don't know what to buy next."
"Then why are you 296?" Han Zhe was a little curious. Didn't he have a car accident with Xu Youlin?
"I can't help it. This is the best new car to buy! I can't keep driving the 458, can I? I almost broke the car. We are not the type to just buy a car and put it in the garage."
Chen Jun said helplessly: "Ferrari is a famous brand. I'm even considering changing my new car to a McLaren, Lambo or something like that."
"Indeed, I've bought so many Ferraris, and even an SF90 requires a seven-month waiting list, while the Taylor Edition is already available."
Xu Youlin complained, but Han Zhe looked at her LaFerrari and said with interest: "How much is this car?"
"I bought it second-hand from a private person through favors at the price of a used car. It cost me 4 billion. My father was not willing to buy it for me. I begged for a long time before I bought it. Why do you think I started playing GTR a few years ago? I really didn't have money!
My dad told me clearly that the maximum amount I can spend on cars every year is 20 billion, and I have to earn more by myself. So I probably won’t be able to afford such an expensive car in the future.”
Xu Youlin said this with some pain in her heart, but pointed at the LaFerrari proudly and said, "How about I bring this car to the track tomorrow, and you and I can race it for fun? Let's see if the old LaFerrari can surpass your SF90 here? In terms of horsepower, your car is bigger than mine!"
"If you want to bully someone, just say so~"
Han Zhe laughed, but he was actually a little eager to try: "But it's not that I can't try. It's not shameful for me to lose."
"Tsk, that's true now," Xu Youlin muttered, but she didn't care too much. She just said, "Let's go upstairs and have a cup of coffee and chat. I'll take you to pick out racing suits later. There's a gear store and a modification shop next to us."
Han Zhe had just seen that the two shops next door also had no signs, but they both had the same decoration style and large floor-to-ceiling windows, so you could tell what was inside at a glance.
"Then let me play with your LaFerrari tomorrow. Will the McLaren be on the track tomorrow? I'm quite curious about this P1."
Han Zhe said.
"Okay, let's change cars tomorrow~ McLaren. I don't know, you have to ask Quan Daojun."
After Xu Youlin finished speaking, she went upstairs with Han Zhe and Chen Jun.
The purpose of the second floor is obviously to entertain guests and rest. There are several game cabins similar to cockpits in a large living room, and a large TV of more than 100 inches is hung on the wall opposite the sofa.
Li Entaizheng and Quan Daojun were sitting in two cockpits, staring intently at the three 28-inch monitors put together in front of the game cabin. At this moment, the monitors were showing the scenes of the racing game.
Xu Youlin simply turned on the TV, and the game screen on their screen soon appeared directly on the TV screen.
It is quite exciting to watch other people’s game scenes on this over 100-inch large LCD screen.
Li Entai and Quan Daojun were fully focused at the moment, and it looked like they were driving a real racing car.
"This is RF2. This game is very realistic. When you play it with professional equipment, it is very similar to driving a real car. We can't usually go to the track, so we can play this at home and practice driving. Of course, if you want to be really good, you have to go to the track."
Xu Youlin could tell at a glance that Han Zhe was not very familiar with this.
Han Zhe just thought that this thing was really interesting, and the supporting gaming equipment was also very comprehensive. In Han Zhe's opinion, Li Entai and Quan Daojun's gaming equipment were almost at the level of private customization.
The steering wheel, brake and accelerator pedals, electronic paddles, handbrake and manual shifter are all available. Even the seats look like standard sports car seats. There are speakers in the headrests, which seem to shake and tilt with the game.
What a fun guy.
Han Zhe did not disturb them and just sat on the sofa watching the big screen. At this moment, the game was being played from Li Entai's perspective. The rankings could also be seen in the broadcast. The two of them were driving wildly on the dusty road in the first-person perspective. Looking at their skilled appearance, it was clear that they were not just playing around.
"This big screen can also be used for director's perspective, but it requires a host computer dedicated to watching the game. We specially found experts to make MODs for us, and the supporting equipment was also custom-made by experts. The degree of simulation is very high. Many friends don't usually like racing, but they will come here just to play games.
Liu Yilin is like this. He usually has no interest in cars, but occasionally he comes here just to play games. He also used this thing to hook up with a few handsome guys who like racing. After we talked him out of it, he stopped doing that.
"If you have friends who are interested in these things, you can come. Our door is an electronic lock. You can enter the information later and open the door with your mobile phone. It's very convenient."
After Xu Youlin finished speaking, George Han was a little curious: “Is this electronic lock reliable?”
"Are you still afraid of people coming to steal? We have a lot of cameras here, and we have a security system. If anyone breaks the glass or kicks the door, the phone will be notified immediately and the police will be called automatically. There is a police station nearby, and the police will arrive in three minutes."
Xu Youlin smiled and said, "Just remember not to bring anyone to the second floor to do bad things. We have cameras here, and it would be bad if we were caught, unless we go to the bathroom. Someone originally suggested getting two guest rooms, but I objected with both hands - I don't know what you men are thinking?"
Han Zhe couldn't help laughing: "Yeah, what kind of image do I have in your eyes?"
"A scumbag who's cheating on multiple women?" Xu Youlin joked, "He's still a bit charming, and not a bad scumbag. Hey, how's your idol? Liu Zhimin? Don't tell me you sent her home directly!"
"It's OK, but I haven't seen them since that day. They are going to return. I guess I will drive to her dormitory building tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to meet her for a simple date."
Han Zhe said.
"Oh? Are you planning to be together for a long time? That's a bit unexpected." Xu Youlin looked a little surprised.
"How could I have thought that this is her first time. Since you are her first man, you should take some responsibility."
After Han Zhe finished speaking, he paused and said, "She didn't even realize that I had a girlfriend at first. When she found out later, she almost broke her heart. I really didn't expect it."
"Big companies like SM are relatively better. If you look for those small girl groups, it will be a different story."
Xu Youlin is relatively familiar with her own situation and commented sharply: "Big companies don't need to make all that messy money, they just need to squeeze the artists, but small companies are not necessarily the same. In order to get ahead or make money, those bosses force the artists to do all kinds of things.
But I didn’t expect that. When I saw Liu Zhimin, I thought she was a playful person.”
She paused and said jokingly, "Oppa's luck with women is really good. It's not easy to date such a pure and popular idol, even if you have money. Those women are all cunning. After all, they are in the entertainment industry, there is no such thing as a pure lotus.
But Oppa has to be careful not to be manipulated by a little idol. "
Han Zhe raised his chin: "Hey, who is your oppa? You are incredibly charming, right?"
".It's a bit of a strange charm." Xu Youlin did not object to this. She just smiled and sat on the sofa with him, ordering Chen Jun around.
"Pour two cups of coffee, Chen Jun Oppa." After Xu Youlin said that, Chen Jun rolled his eyes and said, "Can you please put some emotion into Oppa like you did when you called Han Zhe? You just call me you when you don't need me. I'm really impressed."
Xu Youlin just smiled, and Chen Jun went to pour coffee leisurely. When he came back, Li Entai and Quan Daojun finally finished a game. Quan Daojun pushed his glasses, took a long breath, wiped the sweat off his face, walked out of the game cabin, and smiled happily: "Are you here? How is it? Do you want to play?"
"Okay, but I'm not very good at it. You have to teach me. I know nothing about racing."
Han Zhe also felt a little itchy.
Chen Jun, who put down his iced coffee, rolled his eyes and said, "Wait a minute, tell me about the Peninsula Batman first. Aren't you curious?"
"Yeah! Right!" Li Entai picked up the iced Americano that Chen Jun poured for him, gulped it down, then laughed loudly and wiped his sweat while sitting on the sofa: "What's going on between you and Choi Seung-hwan? That guy is much more arrogant than us, and he has more money - after all, he is an illegitimate child, and he can't do anything except spend money and squander the family."
Han Zhe also drank a sip of iced American coffee, and then he casually recounted what happened that day. As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at each other. "How much did you pay for that store?"
Han Zhe just smiled and said, "Two billion? Three billion? Anyway, it's not much. The price of your shop here is much cheaper than I thought. The two-story tavern in Cheongdam-dong is only this much, and it's still attached to the land."
".Awesome." Chen Jun didn't say anything, just raised his thumb and continued to make himself another cup of coffee.
Li Entai opened his mouth wide. He originally wanted to show off his supercar club, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he couldn't say them.
"Are you going to run on the track tomorrow too?" Kwon Dojun saw that Li Entai was a little depressed and unable to speak, so he took over the topic with a smile.
"Yeah." Han Zhe nodded, and Quan Daojun smiled and looked at Xu Youlin: "Did Youlin tell you that Yilin is going to shoot a VLOG with the car tomorrow? Are you going to appear in the video?"
“What Vlog?”
Han Zhe was stunned.
Xu Youlin slapped her head and said, "I really forgot that I was thinking about Oppa's SF90. Liu Yilin is a YouTube blogger. She has her own YouTube, INS, and TikTok accounts. It's called Yilin LifeTv. You can check it out. The number of fans is not bad. There are more than fans on YouTube, more than million on INS, and almost million on TikTok. She is quite famous.
I usually shoot various VLOGs to show off my life, nightclubs, travel, clothes and bags, various parties.
Our supercar club originally planned to set up our own account, but no one wanted to operate it so we gave up. Only occasionally Yilin would shoot a Vlog of our gatherings, for example, if we bought a new car she would shoot a new car experience video.
You just don’t know her well enough. Otherwise, once you post the photo of your Ferrari on Instagram, she’ll call you to borrow the car to shoot a video.”
"Tomorrow we will go to the track, and she will go too. She will use her McLaren GT to try it out, and then we will mainly take pictures of us playing with cars and having parties."
Xu Youlin paused, then smiled and said, "It doesn't really matter. If you don't want to appear on camera, just ask her to blur or edit your video. I'll give you a stage name. How about Mr. Han? Hahaha."
She laughed happily, and Chen Jun and Quan Daojun also laughed nonchalantly. The statement that Mr. Han would pay for the entire meal in the nightclub was still very impressive. Only Li Entai felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Xu Youlin sticking to Han Zhe, laughing and joking very naturally.
Why is Xu Youlin so cold to him alone?
Everyone can see that Li Entai is unhappy, but no one cares - there is nothing he can do, everyone knows that he likes Xu Youlin, but Xu Youlin doesn't like him.
There's nothing we can do about it, right?
“To take a video.”
Han Zhe didn't care about Li Entai's thoughts. He just thought about it, but he couldn't make up his mind.
Being famous has its advantages and disadvantages.
What are the benefits? Just look at Musk.
What are the disadvantages? Of course, it’s because the peninsula is too small. If I really become famous, in a place as small as Seoul, no matter which girl I date, I will be recognized. That would be very troublesome.
But at the moment when he was struggling, suddenly, a line of text popped up in front of him.

Han Zhe first took a quick glance at the things in the Mingli store.
My heart immediately started pounding.
[Skill Exchange Coupon (Level): You can choose any sports or art skill and upgrade it to the corresponding level.]
[Skill proficiency will be divided into entry-level, proficient, master, grandmaster, and extraordinary levels. ]

Then the master level requires a full 10,000 fame and fortune points, the grandmaster level requires 100,000 points, and the extraordinary level requires an astonishing 500,000 fame and fortune points.
Even if Han Zhe's number of fans reaches an astonishing 100 million, he can only get a maximum of 10,000 fame and fortune points a week, and a maximum of 50,000 extraordinary skills points a month, which is really difficult to exchange.
In addition to skill exchange, there are a large number of other exchangeable items in the store.
For example, Han Zhe is looking forward to the [Self-selected R&D Order (SSS): An order to develop special self-developed products that far exceed the current technological level according to the host's ideas. After placing the order, you will soon obtain relevant patents, data, and theories. ]

Do you still need to hesitate?
If the price of becoming famous is just the possibility of being recognized by passers-by when he is on a date with his sister, then he thinks he can still bear this hardship.
So Han Zhe immediately said without saying anything: "Shoot! No mosaics, I plan to make an account for myself."
"Is it true?" Xu Youlin was a little surprised. She felt that Han Zhe didn't seem to be a guy who liked to be famous - but he should also like to be in the spotlight.
Han Zhe laughed and said, "How could it be false? I was actually a little entangled in the beginning, mainly because I was worried that it would be inconvenient for me to go anywhere after I became famous.
But since I have this opportunity, I might as well not worry about it. I will ask Liu Yilin to take a nice photo for me. When I figure out what I want to do with my own account, I may even be able to collaborate with her.”
“Okay~” Xu Youlin laughed: “You look pretty in person, mainly with an inexplicable temperament. Before, I always felt that you were inexplicably sincere and gentle, and now you seem more confident. I just don’t know how it will look on camera, who knows, you might really become popular.
The subject matter is easy to say. We in the Peninsula love to see rich people showing off their wealth. Even Liu Yilin, who just plays around, can have millions of fans. Isn't it easy for you?"
Thinking of this, Han Zhe just smiled, but suddenly changed his mind-since he wanted to shoot a video.
So why not start tomorrow?
It just so happens that there will be a good opportunity tomorrow, right?
Filming a group of second-generation rich people racing, with a lot of luxury cars on the screen, and Liu Yilin, who is also quite popular, promoting her account, and advertising herself at the same time
Han Zhe immediately fell into deep thought, and spoke absentmindedly. When he came to his senses, Li Entai had already invited him to play a racing game, but Han Zhe waved his hand and took out his mobile phone with a smile: "I'll make a few calls first."
"Okay." Li Entai could only nod, and Xu Youlin asked curiously: "You are not here because of the video, are you?"
"Yeah, now that I've decided to work on my account, it wouldn't be good to just mess around and procrastinate. I'll call and see if I can start directly tomorrow, and just use this racing party as the starting point for my video account.
You don't mind, do you?"
Han Zhe asked with a smile.
"Of course I don't mind. If Liu Yilin can take photos, you can do the same." Xu Youlin waved her hand and just smiled: "Although I don't do these things, my fans on Instagram have increased a lot because I often appear in her videos. If you become a big blogger, maybe I can also take advantage of your popularity."
"Just shoot it. If there are any scenes that people don't want to be released, we'll tell you and you can just edit it out."
Li Entai just said generously at this moment: "Although our supercar club is not open to the public, it is not a bad thing for us to be famous. My personal INS is also linked to several of my own company stores. If I become famous, I will use it as publicity."
"I have no objection." Quan Daojun pushed his glasses and smiled: "We have been photographed by Liu Yilin many times. We were a little unhappy at the beginning, but now we find that there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, we are not the kind of people who do shady things all day long."
"Thank you in advance, everyone."
Han Zhe smiled, picked up the phone, and stood up to make a call.
He originally wanted to call Kim Yoo-jin, but after changing his mind and thinking about it, he called Kang Soo-yeon directly.
"Hello? Honey~ Why are you calling me suddenly?"
Jiang Xiuyan was a little surprised.
"What are you doing?" Han Zhe asked with a smile.
"I'm in class. I have so many classes every day now. It's all your fault. My morning classes have to be moved to the afternoon. I'm so sleepy."
She said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, my bad. Let's not do morning exercises from now on. Do you know something about operating Instagram accounts?"
Han Zhe's question made Jiang Xiuyan think for a while, and then she answered him seriously: "I know a little bit, and I even got a certificate, SNS Marketing Expert Certificate, so I have some understanding of social media.
At that time, I thought that if the beautician industry was not easy, I could also switch to being an internet celebrity or something. However, I had not started this industry yet. I just operated it a little bit, mainly to sell goods and promote the store. I only had a few hundred thousand fans on Instagram, and a little more on Tiktok, but only more than 200,000.
If you want to find an expert in this area, I know some internet celebrities who might be able to help you?"
"If I want to make a video and open a personal account, what do you think I should do? It's not a small thing."
Han Zhe's question made Jiang Xiuyan frown slightly and think for a long time, and then said: "Then I suggest you hire a professional team. If you want to make a big hit on YouTube videos, you either have a very good imagination and strong professional ability, or you have to rely on the production team.
You need professional photographic equipment, photographers, post-production editing, scriptwriters, directors, etc.
SNS such as INS and TikTok are my professional part, but it is still quite troublesome to operate. First of all, you have to think about the direction and goals of the operation, and then find the right group, and update once or even twice a day based on your user group.
These two media have the highest user stickiness and activity. They increase followers more slowly, but the quality of users is relatively high.
The most urgent thing is to find the direction you want to go in making videos.”
After Jiang Xiuyan finished speaking, she asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to do this?"
"I'll talk to you about it when I get back. If I need to take some photos tomorrow, what do you think I should do? Should I just get a GoPro and take some photos?"
After Han Zhe finished speaking, Jiang Xiuyan laughed dumbly: "This kind of casual shooting method is still difficult to produce a hit, mainly because you don't know the shooting techniques, it's easy to make the picture ugly while shooting, and it's completely unusable in post-production.
My suggestion is that if you have something you want to shoot tomorrow, it’s best to hire a professional photographer to follow you, tell him everything you want to shoot, and then confirm what video you want to shoot later, shoot some more content, and use the footage for editing. ”
"I see. Are you interested in taking charge of these businesses?"
Han Zhe’s words made Jiang Xiuyan stunned: “Me?”
"Yes, find a professional team for me to run the account according to my ideas and build my own studio first."
After Han Zhe finished speaking, he paused and said, "I don't understand professional matters more than you do, and Secretary Jin's expertise is not here, but she can help you check it together, at least to set up the shelf first.
After that, it's just a matter of learning by doing - there are so many online variety shows now, and the majority of people on the Peninsula are people working in the entertainment industry. You can recruit a professional team for me. With your talent, I think it won't take long before you can manage this team skillfully.
After that I will try to recruit some talented people, mainly directors and so on.
I am usually too lazy to keep an eye on the operation of the studio, and you can't actually learn anything just by attending classes. You can learn professional knowledge fastest by working in a professional environment.
I think you have the potential to be a small boss, and it should be more than enough for you to be in charge of an account studio for me."
Han Zhe has a dedicated publicity and promotion department within the company, but operating products is different from operating YouTube and SNS.
Jiang Xiuyan was silent for a moment, but did not refuse. Her tone became very sincere: "Han Zhe, do you really think I can do it? I only had a few fans on my account before, and I have never tried to manage it.
If you just want to find me something to do, I can do odd jobs in your studio first. I can't say I have no confidence at all if you just throw things to me, but I am really worried that I can't do it as well as you hope."
"In my eyes, you are a woman with the same potential as Secretary Kim! Although your personal styles are completely different, I think you may be able to accomplish something great."
Han Zhe smiled and said, “Let’s start from here?”
". Got it. I'll try my best. Let's start by solving your recording problem. I'll contact some friends I know and see if I can get a filming team from a YouTube blogger to lend you a video."
After Jiang Xiuyan finished speaking, Han Zhe seemed to be thinking about something: "Don't worry, I'll make a phone call and ask first. Now you should think about how to support the framework and how many people are needed.
The direction of my shooting is probably to show off my life, life Vlog, and then do some large-scale online variety shows, spend a lot of money to do things like that. There is a guy called MrBeast on YouTube, and his video content is actually quite suitable for me.
Tomorrow's shooting is mainly about saving the footage. We don't know if it can be used yet, we'll discuss it together when the time comes."
"I understand." Jiang Xiuyan's tone was serious, but you could somehow hear a little bit of joy and excitement in her voice.
Han Zhe was silent for a moment, and then just smiled: "My goal is to have hundreds of millions of fans. Xiu Yan, you must be mentally prepared to face the challenge."
"Yeah!" Jiang Xiuyan's answer became firm. She chuckled and said in a relaxed tone: "If the goal is just a few million fans, you don't have to be so serious. Anyway, for me, even if I fail, you are still here, so I won't feel pressured."
"That's right~" Han Zhe said with a smile: "Just don't let my reputation fall. Or try to create a character that is not easy to fall?"
"Well, I think the character of Iron Man, a playboy billionaire, suits you very well." Jiang Xiuyan joked: "How about combining them, Iron Batman?"
"Hahaha, let's go back and discuss it. I'll call and see if I can borrow a photography team."
After Han Zhe hung up the phone with her, he immediately called Liu Yilin again.
Liu Yilin answered the phone, a little surprised: "Han Zhe? Why did you think of calling your sister?"
"Aren't we going out racing together tomorrow? Yelin is going to shoot a Vlog?"
Han Zhe asked with a smile.
"Yeah! You don't want to be on camera? Don't worry, sister can cut it clean for you." Liu Yilin's voice became a little charming and teasing.
“What? I actually want to create a personal channel myself. YouTube currently has the largest traffic and the subject matter is the easiest to expand, so I plan to make YouTube my main business direction.
I was thinking, since there is this opportunity tomorrow, can Sister Yilin lend me a photographer or something? It will probably take some time for me to set up my own studio, and it would be a pity to miss tomorrow's material. "
As soon as Han Zhe finished speaking, Liu Yilin laughed: "Ah! Don't steal my sister's materials!"
"I don't know how to use it yet~ Sister Yilin, can you think of a solution for me?" Han Zhe said with a smile.
Liu Yilin thought about it seriously for a while, and then took the initiative to say: "How about this, I will send a photographer and PD over tomorrow, and this video will be a joint submission between you and me, and the release time will be decided after your account and everything is ready.
I will send you my PD's account via Kaltalk in a while. You can communicate with her about what material you want to shoot tomorrow, the approximate content, shooting time, etc. "
"Is it okay?" Liu Yilin could clearly hear the smile in Han Zhe's words even through the phone.
Liu Yilin snorted softly: "You came to me just because I'm so nice to you. Next time we meet, I'll ask you for a hug. Don't hide away~"
She is really a real meat-eating woman.
Han Zhe couldn't help laughing: "Ah~ Nuna, I won't do such a thing as selling my body."
"Tsk~ That's hard to deal with." Liu Yilin also laughed: "That's it, when you become famous, don't forget to work with me again!"
"Got it~" Han Zhe found that the people around him were all quite confident in themselves.
When he hung up the phone, he already had a preliminary idea for the first video in his head.
Given his current situation, what kind of video would be most likely to go viral?
Of course, it’s showing off wealth.
In the environment of Peninsula, being rich is not a derogatory term. Many people like to watch similar content and get agency satisfaction. Didn’t Song Ji-ah become popular because of her rich second-generation personality? Unfortunately, she didn’t have enough money and bought fake goods, which led to her downfall.
But it is enough to show that the people of the Peninsula really like rich people, or in other words, they really hope to become rich people.
And what he can do is much more unexpected.
It's hard to become as popular as MrBeast, but if he just wants to be a blogger with millions of followers, it's not that difficult for him now.
What's more, he has a cheat!
He has also thought about the main direction of his YouTube channel. On the one hand, he wants to frequently update daily VLOGs and some challenge videos. On the other hand, he wants to launch a series of long-term videos similar to online variety shows.
Then, we have to learn from Netflix and do something big, like a real-life squid game or something.
Vlog can enhance personal fame, and online variety shows can use various artists, internet celebrities, etc. to increase channel stickiness and fame.
The purpose of doing such a big thing is naturally to break through the limitations of ordinary video bloggers - in this era, it is easy for an ordinary video to become a small hit, but it is extremely difficult to become a hit with more than 10 million viewers. You have to come up with something that is difficult to compete with and be innovative.
So, what are Han Zhe’s characteristics?
Very rich!
Thinking of this, Han Zhe's rapidly spinning mind finally calmed down. He believed that he should not pay too much attention to details, and it would be enough to grasp the general direction. This was what he should do.
As for how to shoot, how to capture the ideas in his mind, and how to implement them. Why does he spend money to hire people?
After his sudden enlightenment, Han Zhe returned to the room leisurely. At this moment, Li Entai and his group got on the racing game console and started the race.
Han Zhe looked at it for a while, and a plan suddenly popped up in his mind.
If you just shoot racing photos and make a simple daily Vlog, isn’t that a bit of a pity?
This time, isn't it a very good opportunity to establish your own personality?
Jiang Xiuyan jokingly asked him to create the character of Iron Batman. Wouldn’t this character be very interesting?
They are all wealthy billionaires, but they have outstanding personal strength and charm, but they just show off their wealth mindlessly. They are easily regarded as second-generation rich fools with no substance, and even cause hostility. But what if this second-generation rich is proficient in racing, various musical instruments, and various competitive events, and is an all-round genius?
Probably most people would just feel admiration and envy.
It is difficult for people to be jealous of people who are much better than themselves. They tend to only be jealous of those who don't seem to be much different from themselves.
Moreover, his character should be set up to be very popular with women - he can take the opportunity to shoot videos with various idols, such as the helicopter surprise he planned to make for Liu Zhimin in June.
When the time comes, just film the whole process as a YouTube video and post it out, give it an eye-catching title, pretend to be a fan who doesn't know Liu Zhimin yet, give a surprise to the idol you're a fan of, and also take advantage of Zhimin's fame, it's like killing two birds with one stone!
And he can also invite Liu Zhimin to a show later, and maybe even film a one-day date with Liu Zhimin. The audience thought it was fake, but in fact he was dating Liu Zhimin at public expense.
If you create a playboy persona, you can get close to all kinds of girls openly in the future without worrying about your reputation being exposed - you are a playboy anyway, so what's the point of exposing your reputation?
As for the reputation of those idols?
friend!
Ask and you will be my friend!
As long as I know enough idols and date enough idols, who dares to say that I am dating her?
Han Zhe couldn't help but smile brightly.
Am I really a genius!?
