"I hope my good intentions tonight won't be in vain, and that you'll accept me marrying seven wives in the future!"

Chapter 124 Tonight, many people will find it hard to fall asleep (Please subscribe)

"I hope my good intentions tonight won't be in vain, and that you'll be able to accept me marrying seven wives in the future!"

Liu Xiaobao took Zhou Huimin to the hotel tonight to witness those scenes, not for any other reason than to give her a heads-up.

Although Liu Xiaobao has the grand ambition of marrying seven wives, he will not deceive any of his wives.

So even though Liu Xiaobao hasn't officially won over Zhou Huimin yet, since Zhou Huimin is already his intended wife, Liu Xiaobao naturally has to break down her psychological defenses first, lest Zhou Huimin be unable to accept it in the future, and Liu Xiaobao regrets it and hurts both of them.

Although he didn't arrange for Vivian Chow to go to the hotel tonight, it was practically the same as if it had been planned.

Liu Xiaobao knew very well that at least nine out of ten couples who went to hotels were having an affair. Otherwise, why would normal couples not stay at home and instead spend that money at a hotel?

Vivian Chow is completely focused on music, so it's normal that she doesn't understand these worldly principles.

Liu Xiaobao understood this, which is why he dared to take Zhou Huimin to the hotel to see what was going on.

If you were to watch episode 643 at a romantic date spot like the movie theater with Vivian Chow, it would be a completely different story.

In a movie theater, couples are usually all lovey-dovey, making vows of eternal love. If Liu Xiaobao took Zhou Huimin to the movie theater to see something like "real life," Zhou Huimin would definitely be even more convinced that love is unwavering.

Therefore, it can be said that Liu Xiaobao's decision to take Zhou Huimin to the hotel was intentional.

Although what she witnessed tonight was a bit cruel for Zhou Huimin, a woman with a simple mind, and shattered her worldview.

However, it's better to prepare Zhou Huimin in advance than for Liu Xiaobao to secretly marry six more wives behind her back.

At least, Liu Xiaobao didn't deceive her!

After tonight, Liu Xiaobao will no longer contact Zhou Huimin proactively; he will wait for Zhou Huimin to contact him first.

Anyway, Liu Xiaobao's conversation with Zhou Huimin tonight can be considered a preemptive confession to her. If Zhou Huimin takes the initiative to contact him, it means that her defenses have been broken and she can accept Liu Xiaobao's philandering side. Liu Xiaobao will then immediately confess to Zhou Huimin and pursue her aggressively.

If Zhou Huimin stops contacting him, it means she can't accept it, and Liu Xiaobao has no reason to pursue her anymore. (abcj)

Although he liked Vivian Chow, he had such a grand ambition as to marry seven wives that he would not give up his other six wives for the sake of one.

With a ratio of 1 to 6, and the two not yet officially together, Liu Xiaobao had no choice but to reluctantly give up on their relationship ahead of time!

However, the incident with Zhou Huimin tonight must have affected Liu Xiaobao's mood to some extent. He didn't go to Li Jiaxin's place again, but went straight back to his mansion in the hilltop area.

That night, Liu Xiaobao sat there for a long time, holding Zhou Huimin's guitar. It was unclear whether he regretted what he had done to Zhou Huimin that night or was worried about whether Zhou Huimin would eventually break down her defenses.

Zhou Huimin lay in bed all night, unable to fall asleep. It was unclear whether she was thinking about what she had seen and heard that night, the multiple-choice question Liu Xiaobao had asked her, or how she should face her feelings in the future.

And many others also couldn't sleep that night.

For example, Ni Zhen couldn't sleep tonight either. The thought of Liu Xiaobao spending hundreds of millions of dollars on Zhou Huimin gave him a strong sense of powerlessness.

Although Ni Zhen's father was a famous talented writer in Hong Kong and his family was quite wealthy, it was only wealthy. Compared to Liu Xiaobao, who could casually spend hundreds of millions of dollars, there was still a huge gap between them.

Therefore, Ni Zhen is now wavering about whether he should continue pursuing Zhou Huimin, feeling that he is completely unworthy of her.

Take Su Minghao for example. He also couldn't sleep tonight. He was humiliated in public by Liu Xiaobao, and he was still full of anger. How could he possibly fall asleep?

But he remained rational. Judging from Liu Xiaobao's extravagant spending of hundreds of millions of yuan, he guessed that Liu Xiaobao might have an extraordinary background.

Therefore, instead of impulsively thinking about how to take revenge on Liu Xiaobao, he planned to tell his parents, the shipping magnate's eldest daughter and son-in-law, about what happened tonight first thing tomorrow morning. He intended to see if he could find out Liu Xiaobao's background from his parents and also to see their attitude before deciding what to do.

Furthermore, Rosamund Kwan also couldn't sleep. After witnessing Liu Xiaobao's extravagant spending of hundreds of millions of dollars, Rosamund Kwan secretly regretted missing out on a long-term golden ticket. All night, she kept thinking about how she could rekindle her relationship with Liu Xiaobao.

Those who witnessed Liu Xiaobao spending hundreds of millions to bid on a guitar that night also stayed up very late, because they were all out drinking with friends and bragging about what they had seen that night, as if they were the ones who had spent hundreds of millions.

That night, the news that the boss of Tianbao Entertainment Company spent hundreds of millions of yuan to bid for a guitar by Vivian Chow quickly spread throughout the entire Hong Kong entertainment and business circles, and even the top wealthy families heard about it.

In short, just as Liu Xiaobao had predicted, he became famous in Hong Kong that night, and the name of Tianbao Entertainment Company became widely known.

the next day.

Because he went to bed too late last night, Liu Xiaobao woke up around noon.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Xuezhi looking at some documents in the living room.

"Xuezhi? What brings you here?"

Xuezhi replied meaningfully, "Thanks to someone's big show last night, the company is practically being worn down by people. I have no choice but to come here to lay low for a while."

Liu Xiaobao immediately understood Xuezhi's implication. Xuezhi was simply telling him that the advertisement he ran last night had worked, and now many people were going to Tianbao Entertainment Company to solicit investment.

Liu Xiaobao poured himself a glass of water, drank it, and then smiled and said, "You'll be quite busy from now on, but that's good, because you won't have to go out and find business yourself anymore."

Xuezhi nodded: "By the way, Mr. Bao, the reason I came to see you today is actually to ask you about something."

"what's up?"

Xuezhi paused, seemingly to organize her thoughts, before speaking.

"Mr. Bao, based on my experience running the company for a while, I feel that if we only invest in movies in the entertainment industry, we are only making small profits and missing out on the huge profits that the entertainment industry can make."

Liu Xiaobao then became serious: "Tell me in detail!"

"Mr. Bao, as far as I know, the most profitable source of income in the entertainment industry isn't actually movies, but rather headcount accounting, which means signing artists and profiting from them. This includes actors' film salaries, singers' album sales revenue, and their advertising revenue. You might not see much profit from one artist, but if a company signs dozens or even hundreds of artists, it's practically a daily influx of income. Compared to the long investment cycle of movies, the returns are much faster."

Liu Xiaobao nodded approvingly.

As far as Liu Xiaobao knows, entertainment companies in this era don't really have much of a concept of making money by signing artists. The reason they sign artists is more for their own convenience in filming, so that they can always have someone available.

Nowadays, only Shaw, who works in the media, has the foresight to control artists and make money from them.

The concept of signing artists, training them, and then earning a share of their profits was only conceived and popularized in the 21st century after people learned about Shaw's deeds.

Liu Xiaobao was surprised that Xuezhi had developed such a concept after only a few months of running the entertainment company; it was truly remarkable.

"Xuezhi, since you dared to bring this up with me, you must already have a plan, right?"

Xuezhi nodded.

"I plan to divide Tianbao Entertainment into two departments in the future. One department will continue to focus on film investment, and the other will focus on artists. In this way, the two departments can benefit each other and form a complementary relationship."

Liu Xiaobao analyzed, "That's right. Using the film resources we invest in to promote our own company's artists, and then having them star in our company's films to boost box office revenue, is indeed a good idea. However, currently, most of Hong Kong's artists are controlled by TVB. If we do this, we'll inevitably be competing with TVB for business, and we'll definitely have a falling out in the future. So, if we want to compete with TVB, we're still missing a powerful weapon!"

Xuezhi asked curiously, "What kind of powerful weapon?"

"A television station!"

Xuezhi suddenly realized, "That's right. The reason why TVB has an advantage over others is that they own their own television station, which makes it easy for them to make an artist famous. However, I dare not think about the television station right now. Firstly, the required funds are too large, and secondly, it is very difficult to go through the relevant procedures. It is not something that our company can hope to obtain at present."

Liu Xiaobao smiled confidently.

“Setting up a new television station is indeed very troublesome. You have to go through the relevant procedures and purchase various related equipment. It’s more convenient to just buy an existing television station.”

Xuezhi exclaimed in shock, "Buy a TV station? From what you're saying, are you planning to take over ATV?"

Liu Xiaobao nodded: "That's right. As far as I know, TVB and ATV have been competing fiercely, and ATV has always been at a disadvantage. It seems that ATV is not having an easy time. If we offer a suitable price now, they should have the opportunity to transfer ownership. You can try to sound them out first and get a price quote from them."

Xuezhi was shocked again: "You mean to take over a TV station right now? That's not something that can be done with a little money, it's at least a billion or more!"

Liu Xiaobao smiled.

“I’ll take care of the money. I see that Xuezhi, you’ve become quite familiar with the entertainment industry these days and have already made new plans. So it’s time for our Tianbao Entertainment Company to expand. Go and see if you can buy a commercial building, preferably a large one. It will not only serve as the office of Tianbao Entertainment Company, but also become a branch of my Tianbao Group in Hong Kong.”

Xuezhi exclaimed in shock for the third time, "You want to buy another commercial building? You also have Tianbao Group in Pujiang? Mr. Bao, just how rich are you now?"

Liu Xiaobao smiled faintly and said, "I don't have too much money, but it's enough to support our business. So you can rest assured and do what I ask you to do. Money is not a problem!"

Hearing Liu Xiaobao say that, Xuezhi didn't ask any more questions. She stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go ahead and do it. I'll go back to the company first. Since President Bao is willing to take over a TV station, I need to rethink this matter."

Liu Xiaobao nodded and saw Xuezhi to the door.

Having witnessed Xuezhi's advanced business acumen in the entertainment industry, Liu Xiaobao now felt it was time to hand over the management of Tianbao Group's entertainment company to Xuezhi.

However, it remains to be seen whether Xuezhi can take over the TV station this time.

If they can successfully acquire a television station, then 'Tianbao Entertainment' will be ahead of most companies in the entertainment industry.

It was with this in mind that Liu Xiaobao decided to spend a lot of money to acquire a television station, believing that the money was well spent!

As for how to make a TV station popular, Liu Xiaobao has no worries at all.

Although Liu Xiaobao studied finance and investment, he often watched TV in his spare time.

Therefore, he believed that as long as he randomly copied a few top-rated variety shows from later generations, he could make a TV station a hit.

However, all of this depends on first securing a television station; otherwise, Liu Xiaobao wouldn't bother figuring out those television programs.

Three days later, on the morning.

Liu Xiaobao received a call from Xuezhi, and he thought she was going to talk about the TV station or the commercial building.

Unexpectedly, Xuezhi was just relaying a message for someone else.

"Mr. Bao, the matriarch of the Xu family is holding a birthday banquet tonight. She has sent you an invitation to attend!"

Liu Xiaobao asked in confusion, "The Xu family? Which Xu family?"

 …

"It's the Xu family, the first generation of shipping magnates in Hong Kong, and also the Xu family that became in-laws with the gambling king!"
