Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 681 Investment.

"I'm going back."

Mingyan took a nice nap on Lin Nayeon's bed, and didn't wake up until around 10 o'clock.

Before leaving, he sent a text message to his girlfriend to see if she needed any further instructions.

"Momo asked, 'Have you fed Boo and Kookeu?'" A few minutes later, the man's phone vibrated.

Mingyan patted the two puppies circling around him and said, "Don't worry, if it weren't for the inconvenience, I would have taken the two little guys out for a walk."

Fortunately, small dogs don't require much exercise and can stay at home without any problems.

"Hey, as long as Jeongyeon doesn't come back, it seems like you can come over often."

Lim Na-yeon has already learned to broaden her thinking.

"Then forget it." Mingyan refused directly: "Just go home after you've rested."

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

Men are afraid of encountering ghosts if they walk too much at night. Dating is one thing, but going to someone's dorm every day is just too inappropriate.

"Okay then~" Lim Nayeon actually just said it casually.

Rabbit Teeth, as the eldest sister, has a strong sense of responsibility and won't set a bad example for her younger sisters by portraying them as love-obsessed. Although she's already showing signs of it, bringing men back to the dorm is just the next level.

I have to thank Hirai Momo for all of this; she's definitely a great roommate in Korea.

"I still need to figure out where we should go for fun in a while."

"Yes, I'll leave the matter to you."

Lim Nayeon didn't even ask where they were going. As long as she was with Mingyan, she was happy, even if they stayed in bed all day.

……

After leaving, Mingyan didn't go home, but went to see Kim Woo-bin.

That guy is recovering well now. He's been feeling cooped up at home every day, so he tries to meet up with his buddies and chat whenever he has free time.

"Brother Yubin, are you thinking of investing in real estate?"

After Mingyan arrived, they chatted for a while before learning about Kim Woo-bin's thoughts.

"Yeah, I have some money on hand. Now that I'm off work, I'm thinking of buying a building and collecting rent to have some income." Kim Woo-bin debuted as a model back in 2008 and has indeed saved up quite a bit of money over the years.

Seoul's real estate market has seen a surge in prices in recent years, leading many celebrities to invest in buildings to make money.

Of course, there are bound to be some illegal and criminal activities involved, such as exploiting loopholes to evade taxes.

Mingyan thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem like a bad idea. I heard that Kim Tae-hee sold her house and made nearly 10 billion won."

There are many wealthy people in the industry who own houses, so related news spreads quite quickly.

Rain and Kim Tae-hee, for example, have bought quite a few houses. This couple is also one of the few loving couples in the entertainment industry.

After Kim Woo-bin fell ill, his filming work was suspended, which inevitably caused him anxiety. Having something he wanted to do was beneficial, at least it could distract him from his worries.

"I've got my eye on a building over there in Nonhyeon-dong, take a look." Kim Woo-bin excitedly brought over his laptop and showed the relevant transaction information to Myung-yeon.

"Five floors above ground, two floors below ground..."

This size is not a problem.

News reports often show South Korean celebrities buying large buildings or towers, which are not the kind of commercial buildings that Chinese people are familiar with.

However, in certain areas of Seoul, these buildings are still in high demand when rented to companies.

"Mainly because of its good location."

"Brother Woo-bin, you should be careful when buying a property, just in case there are any problems." Ming-yan reminded him, there are quite a few groups in Seoul who target celebrities for scams, because they have a lot of cash on hand.

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too." Kim Woo-bin paused for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Yan, what do you think? Is it feasible?"

"Hmm... how much does this building cost?"

"This building is worth less than 10 billion. We only need to put up 4 billion upfront, and the rest can be financed through loans."

One hundred billion, which is close to sixty million RMB, but the price is still reasonable and not outrageous.

Judging from the current real estate market trends in Seoul, buying property is basically a sure-fire way to make money. Even if property prices fall, Nonhyeon-dong, located in Gangnam District, will not have trouble finding tenants; scarce resources are always scarce resources.

"Brother Yubin, why did you suddenly decide to buy a building?" Mingyan asked again.

"On one hand, I want to do something," Kim Woo-bin sighed. "On the other hand, I also have to consider Min-ah and her mother."

Shin Min-ah stayed by his side throughout his illness, which was both a pressure and a motivation for him.

"Brother Yubin, it's best to consult a professional about this."

Mingyan gave a cautious answer.

He has a financial advisor with whom he has a good relationship; otherwise, it would be a waste to leave so much money sitting idle. Only by properly allocating his wealth can he make money work for him.

Investing in real estate is a big decision, and if there are problems, the losses can be substantial. This guy doesn't earn money easily.

Kim Woo-bin nodded: "That's right, I need to ask more questions."

"Brother Yubin, I remember your contract with the company expires next year, right?"

"Next January? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just ask."

Mingyan and Kim Woo-bin learned more about the building, and on their way home, they began to ponder a certain possibility.

Kim Woo-bin was thinking that housing prices might rise, but he was considering a different scenario.

Hwa&Dam Pictures has already begun to expand into television drama production, and the company plans to continue developing its business in the future, including artist management, television drama production, planning and distribution, and its business scope is growing larger and larger.

Mingyan said he didn't understand capital operations, but the company's artist management business is very likely to be spun off in the future.

He is currently the company's only artist. Once he becomes independent, he will definitely seek absolute control. Having his own building would probably make things much easier.

This seems like something we could do.

As for the money, he stated that he still has his own fixed investments that he hasn't touched. Buying a house only took away most of his liquid funds, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to take out a portion of the money.

Most importantly, if he's really short of money, he can get it from Kim Ji-soo, who's quite wealthy.

He openly admits he's short of money, but he won't tell Lim Nayeon, nor Kim Ji-won, and he certainly won't mention it to his sister. However, he feels no guilt when talking to Kim Ji-soo.

They never distinguished between each other.

Then came the inspiration from Kim Woo-bin; the rest was just a matter of getting a bank loan, which was easy to do and got a relatively favorable interest rate.

Tsk, I really need to think about this when I get back.

……

"Uncle, were you really with Nayeon unnie last night?"

Kim Minjung didn't care much about Mingyan not returning home that night, but he was skeptical about the veracity of Mingyan's words.

"Otherwise what?" The man was still checking information about the house. Spending billions was no joke; it wasn't a small amount even for a popular celebrity.

Kim Minjung pouted: "I have so many aunts-in-law, who knows where you sleep?"

"No matter where I sleep, it's always your aunt's place."

"..."

The little guy thought about it and realized that this logic was indeed impeccable.

It doesn't matter who he slept with, since they were all Mingyan's girlfriends anyway.

Mingyan patted his bewildered niece's head, then continued researching on his laptop, with BLACKPINK songs playing in the background, which sounded quite catchy.

He stretched lazily before going to bed and then dialed Kim Jisoo's number: "Hey, you didn't forget you're going to a wedding the day after tomorrow, did you?"

"What wedding... Ah, of course I remember."

"You've just forgotten."

"Just remember that."
