The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

As for the rest, Wan Qian is the type of person who won't film unless there's a good script; she usually just performs in stage plays.

For Wan Qian, whether she becomes famous or not is no longer important.

Her relationship with Lin Bufan and the rumors circulating online are enough to make her a strong second-tier or weak first-tier actress.

Che Xiao gained some popularity in the industry because of the drama "Difficult Love". Now that she is involved with Lin Bufan, she no longer regards acting as a career.

Judging from her choices in later generations, it is clear that for her, being a celebrity was merely a stepping stone.

Now, all she can think about is how to win Lin Bufan's heart, especially since her mother has been urging her to have a child.

An Yixuan was never a particularly "dedicated" person, and now he tries to slack off whenever possible.

Filming is never an easy job. Although he hasn't retired from the industry, he rarely films anymore.

In other words, there aren't many variety shows currently, otherwise most of his women would probably become variety show personalities.

If we're talking about diligence, only Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, and Yang Mi stand out, but each of them is different.

Liu Yifei enjoys acting and relishes the experience of constantly switching between roles. If the script isn't good, she simply won't accept it.

If the script is good, I'll do anything to act in it.

Just like in the movie "The Hunger Games" that she is currently filming, I saw it when Lin Bufan visited the set last time. She is really working hard, and there are bruises all over her body.

Yang Mi and Fan Bingbing are both very hardworking, but unlike Liu Yifei, they prefer the life under the spotlight.

Enjoy the life of being adored by fans.

Almost every woman Lin Bufan chooses is different, but that's normal.

In this world, no two leaves are the same, and no two people are exactly alike; everyone has their own unique pursuits.

Since leaving the modeling industry, Yang Ying, not wanting to endure the hardships of acting, plunged headlong into the world of entrepreneurship.

Fortunately, because of Lin Bufan's connections, many people, out of respect for Lin Bufan, were able to somewhat help Yang Ying gain some traction.

Lin Bufan would not interfere with his woman's business ventures unless someone deliberately made things difficult for her.

When it comes to starting a business, it's either good or bad; it all comes down to ability.

He wouldn't support her unconditionally just because she's his woman; that wouldn't help her, it would harm her.

Although Yang Ying doesn't have much ability or talent, she has the advantage of having created a clothing brand and Lin Bufan's status in the industry.

Yang Ying's clothing brand "YS Studio" (影珊), which she founded in Hong Kong, has achieved fairly good sales in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

Last year, annual sales reached over 60 million, with a net profit of 23%, earning over 10 million in a year.

Yang Ying co-founded this company under her and Wen Yongshan's names.

"good!"

Lin Bufan rarely praised Yang Ying.

Although she did rely on some of her own connections, she still succeeded.

"Honey, when do you think my company will be able to go public?" Yang Ying leaned against Lin Bufan's chest, her mind filled with dreams.

"Going public is easy too!"

Lin Bufan spoke in a calm tone.

Actually, the requirements for apparel companies to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are not very high.

Simply put, as long as the annual profit exceeds 20 million for more than three consecutive years, the target can be met. In particular, the profit in the most recent year must be higher than that in the previous two years, and the overall financial trend must be upward.

Of course, meeting the standards does not necessarily mean that the company can be listed on the stock exchange.

For a company to go public, the main thing is to tell a good story. Especially for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, it is important to see if the company's market sales are growing. If it only has a single market, it is almost impossible to go public.

However, if a company can go international, selling its products not only in Hong Kong but also in Japan and South Korea, and achieves good sales results with low inventory levels, it will have the opportunity to go public.

Therefore, 20 million is just a threshold. If you really want to go public, it might be easier to have an annual profit of more than 50 million.

However, the apparel industry is different from other industries.

In the apparel industry, the higher the sales volume, the lower the profit margin, because there is a risk of unsold inventory.

To give a simple example, if you produce 10,000 pieces of a garment, the cost might only be 100,000 yuan. If you eventually sell 5,000 pieces at 30 yuan each, the total cost would be 150,000 yuan.

With a cost of 100,000, a return of 150,000, and a profit of 50,000, the profit margin is calculated at 50%.

You produced a million of the same garment, but only sold 400,000. The cost was 10 million, but you recouped 12 million and made a profit of 2 million.

Judging from the cash on paper, one made a profit of 50,000, and the other made a profit of 2 million.

However, the profit margins are 50% for one and only 20% for the other.

In the apparel industry, retail profits can reach as high as 50%, but for apparel companies, the larger the company, the lower the profit margin.

Even the highest net profit margin in the luxury goods industry, Hermès, is only around 30%, and LV is only around 15%.

Even for brands like Nike, the profit margin is only around 13%, while some other brands have a profit margin of less than 10%.

Of course, some smaller brands can achieve higher profit margins than luxury brands like Hermès, but their sales volume will definitely not be as high.

As I said before, in the apparel industry, the larger the company, the lower its profit margin, due to the issue of unsold inventory.

Of course, although the profit margin is low, the money earned is definitely not small.

Yang Ying's brand YS Studio (影珊) wants to go public, which is both simple and difficult.

"As long as you can achieve a net profit of over 20 million for three consecutive years, I'll take care of the listing for you," Lin Bufan said to Yang Ying, offering encouragement.

"real?"

Yang Ying looked at Lin Bufan with excitement.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you!"

Lin Bufan smiled confidently.

Just because others can't do it doesn't mean he can't.

"Husband, I love you to death..." Yang Ying said, and with a strength she didn't know she had, she turned over and sat up again.

……

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Daily check-in successful. You have received the following rewards: 100 million US dollars, 100 points, and one Energy Pill.]

After celebrating her birthday, Yang Ying returned to Hong Kong, while Lin Bufan threw himself into working on the company, especially on the next film, "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas".

The first draft of the movie script is out, and the general plot is also in place. All that's left is to refine it.

The investment share also needs to be decided as soon as possible.

It just so happens that today is March 1st, and Lin Bufan also wants to know what rewards he can get from this month's sign-in.
