June is graduation season.
The entire campus echoed with the sadness of farewell.
From now on, classmates will travel all over the world, and many lovers will be forced to part ways, possibly never to meet again in their lifetimes.
Therefore, you can see couples saying goodbye and breaking up in tears everywhere on campus. And the restaurants outside the school were all packed one after another, and farewell banquets were held one table after another.
In comparison, Xiang Nan, Zheng Wei, Ruan Wan, and Zhu Xiaobei are much better. Although they have graduated, there is no need to separate. They will stay for graduate school and study together for another three years, so there is no need to rush to express their grief.
However, they still attended the farewell banquet to see off Zhang Kai, Gong Cheng, Zhou Dalong and Li Weijuan.
"Azheng, I really envy you. If I had known, I would have studied hard during college. I wouldn't have become an insurance broker now." Gong Cheng sighed to Xiang Nan.
He originally wanted to find a good job, as a designer, architect, or at worst a quality inspector or estimator. But because his grades were so poor, he failed seven or eight of his subjects.
When he took a look at his results, he found they were not convincing at all, so no real estate company or design company was willing to accept them, so he had no choice but to sell insurance.
But he knows that the insurance industry is difficult to get into. It is not easy to sell insurance without any connections or background. So he really has no hope for his future.
"Father, don't think like that. With three hundred and sixty years of work, you will be the number one scholar. You are sharp-tongued and have high emotional intelligence. I believe you will be able to make a career as an insurance broker." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Come on, let me Here’s to you, I wish you a rising star in the insurance industry.”
He knows that insurance brokerage is not easy to do. But after all, we have been classmates for five years, so we really don’t want to pour cold water on them now.
"Thank you." Gong Cheng nodded.
…
"Hey, by the way, who among you knows where Xu Kaiyang went?" Zhu Xiaobei asked pretending to be casual.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, do you still need to worry? Even if he doesn't find a job, his family's wealth will be enough for him to live a happy life." Zhou Dalong said with a smile.
"I heard that he seems to be going abroad. Oh, I really envy him. He can go abroad if he wants to go abroad. I want to go abroad, but I just don't have the money." Gong Cheng shook his head and sighed.
"So I say you are stupid. You usually play when others play, and you also skip classes when they skip classes. Now people go abroad whenever they want, but you can't even find a job." Li Weijuan curled her lips and said, "Sheep-herding kid and firewood-chopping kid The story is truly timeless.”
Kai Kai, Gong Cheng and Zhou Dalong were a little embarrassed when he said one sentence.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this." Xiang Nan raised his glass and said, "All roads lead to Rome. I believe that as long as you work hard, miracles will happen. Come on, cheers!"
"Yes!" Zhang Zhang raised his glass and said, "Azheng is right. Don't be discouraged, everyone. A temporary setback is no big deal. I believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely have a good life.
Come, let me read a bold poem to cheer everyone up. The sea of clouds and the end of the world are so blurry. When will I return home after my success? I have drunken laughter and accompanied my father-in-law for 30,000 times, and there is no need to complain about separation! "
"Cheers to our eternal youth!"
"Immortal youth!"
…
After the farewell banquet, the students left the campus one after another and went their separate ways.
College life is over.
In July, "Let the Bullets Fly" directed by Jiang Wen and starring Chow Yun-fat, Ge You, Carina Lau, and Jiang Wen officially landed on the screen, and immediately detonated the summer movie.
This hormonal movie has an ups and downs, compact plot, and climaxes that make the audience excited. Therefore, the box office has been rising since its release.
The box office was 30 million on the first day, which rose to 40 million the next day, and the box office exceeded 100 million in two and a half days of release. The box office exceeded 200 million in four and a half days of release, the box office exceeded 300 million in eight and a half days, and the box office exceeded 400 million in the 11:30 release... The number of people watching the movie was even more than that of "Avatar".
Such a box office miracle is naturally shocking.
When looking closely at the reasons for the box office success, in addition to Jiang Wen's profound directing skills, the superb acting skills of several outstanding actors, and strong box office appeal, a solid script and story are also the keys to victory.
The story of "Let the Bullets Fly" was provided by Xiang Nan, who also had another box office hit, "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" released at the end of 2008.
As a result, Xiang Nan has two box office hits, and he has only adapted two. It was obviously not just a coincidence that two movies were changed and both sold well.
As a result, Xiang Nan's work was robbed by major film and television companies.
The price has also soared from the previous five million to eight million or ten million.
Especially for martial arts and fantasy genres such as "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", "Twelve Zodiac Signs", and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the prices have risen to the level of 12 million or 15 million.
Firstly, this type of film is currently relatively popular and is a popular genre. Secondly, the investment in this type of film is relatively high, so film producers are naturally willing to spend money on scripts.
As for romances such as "Thirty-day Love", "Yanjing Meets Seattle", "Heart Blossoms on the Road", and "That Year in a Hurry", because the market is not popular at present, and the investment is generally low, so The price remains at around three million.
Therefore, he first sold IPs such as "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", "Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs", "Sword Rain", "Xiu Chun Dao", and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".
He knows that in a few years, the box office of martial arts and action movies will get worse and worse. The tastes of the audience will become more and more complex, and the market will become more and more refined. So if you don’t sell it now, you won’t be able to sell it in two years.
As for those youth love IPs that cannot be sold at high prices yet, Xiang Nan is not in a hurry. He knows that youth romance movies will become popular in two years. By then, the prices of the IPs in his hands will skyrocket.
…
By selling these IPs, Xiang Nan made more than 60 million.
He still invested the money in the property market.
Because of the confusion in the timeline of "To Youth", Bitcoin, which should have appeared in 2009, did not appear. So Xiang Nan's plan to make a fortune fell through. To be on the safe side, you can only invest in the property market.
Fortunately, the development of the property market is still expected. When Xiang Nan first bought a house in 2007, the number of houses in Baoshan District was only 5,000 to 6,000 square meters. Now it has doubled to 13,000 square meters.
Therefore, investing in real estate, in Xiang Nan's opinion, is really a sound and profitable investment.
Xiang Nan used the more than 60 million to buy more than a dozen houses in suburbs such as Songjiang, Qingpu, Jiading, and Jinshan.
"Azheng, with so much money, why don't you buy a house in the city?" Zheng Wei asked curiously, "Shouldn't houses in the city be more popular?"
"Of course everyone loves a house in the urban area. It can easily cost 30,000 to 40,000 square meters, and it is not affordable for ordinary people." Xiang Nan explained, "Moreover, its supporting facilities are basically fixed, and the potential for appreciation is not great. .
In comparison, houses in the suburbs are cheaper and more people buy them. It will be easier to sell when the time comes. Moreover, its supporting facilities are not perfect yet, but they will definitely be perfected in the future, which will leave room for further appreciation.
So buying a house in the suburbs is more profitable than buying a house in the city, do you understand? "
After Zheng Wei heard this, he was filled with admiration.
Xiang Nan smiled. He had checked the information before. The price of houses in the central area of Shanghai has only increased by 1.5 to 2 times in ten years, while the prices of houses in the suburbs have increased by 3 to 3.5 times, so it is more profitable to invest in the suburbs.
