Chapter 204 Missing Out on Hundreds of Millions
Last year, Zhang San's "Fast & Furious Presents: The Fast and the Furious" grossed $2 million worldwide, actually recouping its costs and even making a profit. It has to be said that this is a movie with a sequel.
However, Zhang San was still very frustrated. He felt that he had lost hundreds of millions of dollars. When he was browsing the web in Hong Kong, he saw a news report that several college students had gone missing in a forest where witches were said to have appeared.
"Tsk~ Ah Min, tell me, aren't these people crazy? In this day and age, they still believe in witches? Hahaha..."
Zhou Huimin was leisurely flipping through a magazine, as if enjoying a moment of tranquility.
She is now a leading brand ambassador for Kochi Asia. Although she doesn't have many engagements, she spends most of her time relaxing and exercising, leading a carefree and comfortable life.
However, she didn't have much affection for Zhang San; she only stayed by his side out of necessity. Just as Zhang San said, he only sought temporary relief, and as for anything else, he could only hope that feelings would develop over time.
"Perhaps they have other motives."
Zhou Huimin, flipping through the magazine, answered listlessly, which struck Zhang San like a thunderbolt.
He suddenly seemed to have lost his memory, unable to recall anything important. So, he frantically picked up the phone, grasping at it like a lifeline, and urgently asked the crucial question.
"Robert, what movies are coming out this summer?"
Hearing his boss's somewhat anxious voice, Robert knew something important had happened. He immediately turned on the computer, checked the contents, and said, "Boss, that's all... We'll be releasing Toy Story 2, and American Pie... That's all."
"Okay, thank you, Robert. Goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang San felt incredibly ashamed of himself, a disgrace to those who have been reborn and transmigrated. How could he have forgotten something like this?
The movie "The Witch" can be said to be a model of achieving big profits with small budgets. With a budget of $35,000, it managed to sell for $2.48 million through various hype tactics, with a box office return of more than 7,000 times. Such a movie naturally becomes the goal pursued by the film industry. Moreover, movies that can earn $100 million are naturally forgotten.
Zhou Huimin noticed that Zhang San, who had always been very active, had been keeping a low profile lately and sometimes even sighed. She wondered what had happened.
"That bastard, he'd be better off dead."
Concern? That's impossible! That's her true thought. Zhang San saw that she was indifferent, but he didn't take it to heart. He just treated her like a decorative vase, pleasing to the eye as long as she was nice.
However, Zhou Huimin also noticed that once this guy was in a bad mood and drank alcohol, he would be like a demon possessed, dragging her into an abyss of pain and making her feel the humiliation of being raped.
To avoid such a thing from happening, she could only ask him with concern, "Zhang Sheng, have you been having some troubles lately? Tell me..."
"Trying to make you happy, huh?" Zhang San interrupted her, making Zhou Huimin feel that this guy was really impolite and too rude; he didn't stop, but continued, "Sigh, I missed out on more than a hundred million US dollars, I'm so miserable~~~"
Zhang San's words were like a thunderbolt, leaving Zhou Huimin speechless with shock. Over one hundred million US dollars? What an astronomical figure! That's at least 8 million Hong Kong dollars! If it were her, wouldn't she feel like her heart was being torn apart? Well, she would probably be a hundred times more miserable than Zhang San.
And so, disregarding the fact that her private parts were exposed, the two of them lay flat on the bed, their skin flushed and rosy.
An eerie silence fell over the place in an instant. Although Zhang San was extremely wealthy, missing out on more than 100 million US dollars was still a loss of a few percent or a few thousandths.
After a day of distress, Zhang San came to his senses. He knew that if he missed one opportunity, he absolutely could not miss another. So, he immediately thought of another opportunity that he could not afford to miss.
"Get up~ Get up~" Zhang San patted her bottom, then got up, put on his clothes. He was going to Shenzhen today to buy something.
"where you go?"
"I'm going to buy a company. Wait for me to come back tonight, and we'll celebrate."
Zhang San vanished like the wind, leaving Zhou Huimin bewildered. She seemed lost in a fog, sinking into deep self-doubt. She murmured to herself, "Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?"
Her voice carried through the air like a lost fawn, adrift in a vast forest.
Around 8 PM, Zhang San returned home after having a few drinks. He had just spent 800,000 RMB to buy 80% of the shares and lent 2 million RMB to the company.
The investees were also quite surprised, never expecting such a generous boss. They cashed out 80 RMB from their shares and received an interest-free loan of 200 million RMB. They're moving to a new building tomorrow and have received the latest servers—it's like a complete upgrade!
This happiness came so suddenly that they were caught off guard, and they were still marveling at the unpredictability of life. In the evening, they had a meal together, and everyone was happy and drank a little wine.
Slightly tipsy, Zhang San returned to Hong Kong from Shenzhen that same day. He had invested in many such companies, and now that he was back from Shenzhen, he was in a good mood. He planned to have a good celebration with Zhou Huimin that evening, as the gloom of missing "The Witch" had dissipated considerably.
Both parties were happy, but for different reasons. Party B felt that they had wanted to sell for one million, but now they had sold for eight hundred thousand. They not only got cash, but also a job and the joy of starting a business.
Zhang San, on the other hand, thought that he could not only retain his team but also secretly acquire a company. Currently, Zhang San uses clandestine funds for investments and acquisitions, which can mislead many people and prevent him from appearing on the rich list. Despite currently holding 80% of the shares, Zhang San will soon distribute those 80% to other funds, so that the largest shareholder will only be his management team.
At his level, hiding his wealth is the most important thing; nothing else matters.
Zhou Huimin stared at Zhang San's lazy demeanor, wondering to herself, "Where is the slightest hint of a tycoon or a wealthy person? He looks like an ordinary person." Whether she was a sucker for good looks was unknown, but everyone has a love for beauty, and liking handsome men and beautiful women is only human nature.
If Zhou Huimin didn't have a stunningly beautiful face, why would Zhang San be so fond of her?
Haven't you heard that handsome people suffer and beautiful people are miserable?
Therefore, regardless of gender, if you are good-looking, you should take good care of yourself when you go out.
