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

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Daily check-in successful. Rewards: 100 million US dollars, 100 points, and one Energy Pill]

As usual, Lin Bufan immediately put away the energy pills he received for signing in.

The fact that "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas" was filmed so quickly and smoothly is largely due to the Jingli Dan (a type of energy pill).

Almost every 2-3 days, Lin Bufan would have Zhang Tianai dissolve an Energy Pill in water for everyone to take, in order to help them restore their energy.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host Su! Weekly check-in successful. Rewards: 500 million US dollars, 500 points, and an apartment in Shanghai.]

"Another apartment in Shanghai!"

Lin Bufan looked at the property certificate that appeared in front of him, simply opened it for a quick glance, and then put it into his dimensional space.

In the past two months, Lin Bufan has signed contracts for more than a dozen houses.

I own apartments in both Shanghai and Beijing, and two villas, one in Beijing and one in Shanghai.

Housing prices aren't too high right now; an apartment around 100 isn't very valuable. But if you wait a decade or so, the price could increase nearly tenfold.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Monthly check-in successful. You have received the following rewards: 1000 million US dollars, 1000 points, and 51% of Jinma Pharmaceuticals shares.]

"Jinma Pharmaceuticals?"

Lin Bufan didn't pay much attention to the US dollars and points; his main focus was on Jinma Pharmaceutical Company.

After a thorough investigation, it was found that the pharmaceutical company was a listed company with a current market value of 25 billion and 40% of its shares were in circulation.

In other words, the 51% stake that Lin Bufan signed has completely completed his control of Jinma Pharmaceutical.

Although it's not an absolute controlling stake, holding 51% of the shares already allows for the exercise of considerable power, enabling the replacement of the entire senior management of the company.

"Mr. Lin!"

Lin Bufan made a phone call to Xu Hongfei.

"Which companies in the pharmaceutical industry have you invested in?"

Lin Bufan asked Xu Hongfei directly.

"Mr. Lin, our company has made some investments in the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the country..." Xu Hongfei gave a brief report.

Some are listed companies, which are no longer investable, so we can only acquire some shares in the stock market.

As for unlisted companies, Zhewei Capital is still evaluating and studying whether there is a need and feasibility for investment.

"Now, send someone to take over Jinma Pharmaceutical, which is a listed company..."

Lin Bufan gave instructions to Xu Hongfei.

Jinma Pharmaceutical, although a listed company, has a market value of only 25 billion yuan, ranking less than the top 50 in the entire pharmaceutical industry.

Xu Hongfei had never paid attention to Jinma Pharmaceutical before.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, I'll take care of it right away!"

Xu Hongfei immediately agreed.

He's incredibly busy right now. First, Zotye needed him to send someone to take over management, and then there's Arc'teryx.

Lin Bufan didn't have time to run these two companies, so he handed over all the tasks to Xu Hongfei.

He was even in charge of poaching talent.

"By the way, how's the progress on the remaining Arc'teryx shares?"

Lin Bufan suddenly remembered.

Last time, when he signed with Arc'teryx, he didn't receive all the shares.

"It's progressing, and we expect to acquire all of Arc'teryx's shares as early as November," Xu Hongfei said earnestly.

If Amer holds all of Arc'teryx's shares, he would almost certainly not sell them easily.

However, now half of the Archaeopteryx belongs to Lin Bufan.

In addition, Arc'teryx is not a very popular brand, so Amer also considered giving up on it.

However, at present, everyone is still negotiating the price.

Once the price is agreed upon, the shares will be acquired quickly.

"I trust you to handle things!"

After saying that, Lin Bufan hung up the phone.

……

"What did you say? You're going to send my resume to the Kyoto company, applying for the job of Lin Bufan's personal assistant?"

As soon as Zhang Zilin got home, she felt like the sky had fallen. Looking at her best friend, she was filled with disbelief.

"That's called a secretary, not a personal assistant."

Her best friend looked at Zhang Zilin and corrected her.

"Do you know who Lin Bufan is?" Zhang Zilin took a deep breath, looked at her best friend, and calmed down.

"Of course I know!"

Her best friend nodded, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and said with anticipation, "Linlin, I'm telling you, you absolutely must seize this opportunity."

"If you could become his secretary, you'd be set for life, you understand?"

"developed?"

Zhang Zilin's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "Do you know that I am now the Miss World global champion, and I am still under contract? I cannot make any decisions on my own?"

"Besides, I'm a Miss World champion, and you want me to be his secretary? Do you have no shame?"

She's currently holding the title of Miss World Global Champion. If she were to become Lin Bufan's secretary (personal assistant), she would definitely be laughed at.

Does saving face matter?

My best friend scoffed, "Director Lin's first secretary, that Bai Bing, is now the risk control director at Zhewei Capital. Countless business tycoons have to be careful around her when seeking investment, you understand?"

Indeed, with Bai Bing as an example, no one dares to underestimate the potential of Lin Bufan's secretary or personal assistant.

"We're different, don't you understand!"

Zhang Zilin looked at the other person helplessly.

Bai Bing had been with Lin Bufan since he was a nobody. No matter what Lin Bufan thought, even if he had to spend a fortune to buy Bai Bing's bones, he would never mistreat her.

The outside world is watching!

As for myself, I was at the peak of my career from the very beginning, a Miss World champion, so I didn't need to take this step at all.

If he wanted, she could have sought other opportunities.

"What should I do? I've already submitted my resume."

Seeing that Zhang Zilin's expression didn't seem fake, her best friend also seemed to feel that she might have done something wrong.

"Forget it, I'll find someone else!"

Zhang Zilin sighed. For the sake of her best friend whom she had grown up with, she couldn't say anything.

"Tch, what's with the attitude? She's just a Miss World champion, what's so great about her? I was just trying to help you..." Her best friend couldn't help but complain inwardly as she watched Zhang Zilin turn and leave.

I'm worried that my best friend is having a hard time, and I'm also worried that she's driving a Land Rover.

She just couldn't understand it. They had been best friends for over ten years, and she didn't think she was any worse than Zhang Zilin, so why was the other one able to become the Miss World global champion?
