Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 396 394. If an artist has money, he will no longer be artistic.

The most sensitive sense of smell in the world is not the animals in nature, but the capitalists on Wall Street.

Wherever there is potential to make money, they immediately smell it and pounce.

The Magic Flute music player shipped 150,000 units in just three days. Such sales results surprised everyone.

Two months of hunger marketing and continuous publicity really stimulated consumers. All stocks in the United States, Canada and Europe were sold out within three days.

For the first time, Chen Li'an felt that he had underestimated the consumption power of the Western world. How could he buy something worth seventy dollars at the drop of a hat?

Without hesitation?

Chen Li'an sat in front of the TV and watched the news. The picture showed a long queue in front of a Magic Flute offline store in New York.

Chen Li'an turned off the TV after watching it for a while. Now he is a little worried about the production capacity of Magic Flute. Magic Flute is a good product, and its reputation will get better and better as time goes by.

When memory technology develops rapidly next year, Magic Flute will experience explosive growth!

But domestic production capacity is indeed a problem now. Lixin's current production lines cannot satisfy the European and American markets, let alone Li Fuzhen's plans to enter the Asian market after this year.

It seemed that he had to find a way to expand production capacity. Chen Li'an couldn't help but sigh, and the money he just earned had to be spent again.

Chen Li'an thought about going back to China and fooling the local government, getting land for free and giving him millions in loans.

We must increase production capacity as soon as possible! It would be great if Samsung's branch factory in China could be used directly.

Chen Li'an thought for a while and decided on Li Jianxi. He wondered if Li Fuzhen's weight in his heart had increased.

When Li Fuzhen came back in the evening, he heard Chen Li'an's thoughts. He thought for a while and said, "It's impossible. Samsung attaches great importance to the Chinese market."

"Forget it, just spend the money to build the factory." Chen Li'an just had an idea that suddenly came to him.

Li Fuzhen leaned on the sofa and put his legs on Chen Li'an's legs and said, "Can you give me a massage?"

"Of course." Chen Li'an grabbed Li Fuzhen's little feet wrapped in black stockings and gently kneaded her. Within ten minutes, something was wrong with his movements.

Li Fuzhen looked at Chen Li'an holding his feet. When he wanted to make other moves, he immediately took back his feet and said, "Take a shower first!"

"Okay, okay!" Chen Li'an hugged Li Fuzhen and went to take a shower.

But taking a bath was even more dangerous. Li Fuzhen was lying in the bathtub, blushing and looking at his two white and tender feet, which were sticking out of the water very regularly. Chen Li'an looked like he was enjoying it, so he couldn't help but step on him a few times. Down.

I agreed to give him a massage, but why did I end up giving him a massage myself?

Chen Li'an snorted, looked at Li Fuzhen and said, "Keep your feet together and slow down."

Li Fuzhen angrily splashed water on Chen Li'an's face, took his feet back, turned around and sat on his knees in the bathtub, with his back to him and said, "It's your turn."

Chen Li'an: "." As long as you're not afraid of knee pain.

The sound of rushing water suddenly echoed through the bathroom.

After a long time, Chen Li'an rubbed Li Fuzhen's red knees and asked, "How many people are looking for you today?"

"There are too many. They want to start the second round as soon as possible and go directly to the market after the fourth round next year."

Chen Li'an thought about the current development speed of Magic Flute, thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible, but the threshold for financing must be higher."

"I know, but will the Internet bubble really come?" Li Fuzhen said with some worry.

Chen Li'an hummed and said: "Yes, but it will not affect Magic Flute Music, so the current financing cannot give away too many shares."

Li Fuzhen nodded. After feeling that the pain in his knee was less, he hugged Chen Li'an and said, "Then let's rest."

Chen Li'an reached out and turned off the light directly, hugged Li Fuzhen and went to sleep.

In the next few days, Li Fuzhen was busy with the second round of financing. Things were going very smoothly, and the capitalists would not rest even at Christmas.

But Chen Li'an won't work on Christmas, he also has to spend Christmas with Jennifer.

Beautiful girls need to be cared for, and love needs to be experienced personally.

After the last candid photo exposure, Jennifer was reluctant to go to public places with Chen Li'an, as that would make her feel impure and disturbed.

In the warmly decorated apartment, Chen Li'an looked at Jennifer who was dressed as a Christmas girl and felt extremely beautiful.

It's just that Santa Claus turns into Miss Elk at night. Chen Li'an holds Miss Elk's reins and works hard to tame this wild elk.

Jennifer's hair was grabbed by Chen Li'an from behind, and her body unconsciously leaned back, trying to be like a rebellious elk.

It's just that Chen Li'an's skills were too good, and the poor Miss Elk couldn't break free. She could only be pushed back and forth, and finally she was given a white potion and was completely tamed.

Jennifer licked her lips, drank all the potion, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Don't be so sudden next time."

"No problem, you are so beautiful tonight."

"This is not a reason, this is your bad taste."

As Jennifer spoke, she pounced on Chen Li'an, grabbed his potion making stick and said, "Now I'm going to punish you!"

"I like your punishment, come on, I will never resist!" Chen Li'an lay down directly and watched Jennifer punish herself again and again.

The next morning, Chen Li'an woke up and prepared to go to the Magic Flute Company, but he was stopped as soon as he arrived downstairs at the apartment.

Michael smiled and said: "Hello Mr. Chen, I am from Sequoia Capital."

Chen Li'an didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said directly: "Sorry, if it's a financing matter, you go to President Li Fuzhen."

Chen Li'an was very confused about how he found this place, but thinking about the name he just reported, he thought it was normal.

Michael smiled and said, "No, I just want to be friends with you."

"Making friends?" Chen Li'an looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows and asked, "We're just talking about art, are you interested too?"

Michael smiled confidently and said, "Of course, I just collected one of your works for nine million dollars!"

Hearing this number, Chen Li'an was a little surprised. His works are not worth this price in the art trading market.

Michael straightened his tie elegantly and said, "I wonder if I can talk to you about your Wave series."

Chen Li'an watched him think for a moment before agreeing, for the sake of the nine million dollars!

In a cigar club, Chen Li'an was watching the fair-skinned and beautiful girl in front of him rolling cigars.

"The best time to smoke a cigar is five minutes after it's rolled and six months after it's rolled," Michael said with a smile.

Chen Li'an said that he had learned a lot. He really didn't know that there was so much knowledge before.

When the beautiful cigar maker handed over the finished cigar, Chen Li'an picked it up and smelled it, then lit the cigar and felt the completely different taste. He thought it was really good.

Michael also smoked a cigar and said: "If you are interested in cigar culture, you can join a cigar salon, where you will meet many interesting people."

With a faint smoke lingering, Chen Li'an looked at the quietly burning cigar in his hand and said after a while: "I only like to show off, I prefer Chinese flue-cured tobacco."

"It doesn't matter, you will like the taste." Michael smiled, clapped his hands and the beautiful eggplant maker went out.

Chen Lijing looked at him quietly, curious about what he wanted to say to him.

After the eggplant maker carefully closed the door, Michael looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Actually, I am more interested in you than the Magic Flute. You are the most special person I have ever met."

Chen Li'an leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs and looked at him silently.

"I have checked some of your financial investment operations, and they are very accurate every time. Your vision is very vicious." Michael looked into Chen Li'an's eyes and said.

Chen Li'an moved the hand holding the cigar slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is all done by my investment consultant and has nothing to do with me."

"Haha, you Chinese all like to hide yourselves." Michael laughed loudly, then put away his smile and said seriously: "Your investment cases are still in a state of complete victory, even in some movies and TV series, your He has a really good eye.”

Chen Li'an squinted his eyes and smiled and said: "That's because you know too little. Many of the movies I invested in have lost money and can't even be released. Maybe we should talk about art and cigars."

Michael smiled and said: "Of course, your wave series is always related to the pulse of the times. Your sense of touch is very keen. You should be an investor rather than an artist."

Chen Li'an was noncommittal, both of which were not difficult for him, but he always felt that it was not that easy for Michael to find him.

When Chen Li'an and Michael came out of the cigar club, he still didn't know what this guy wanted to do with him.

Is it possible that you really have a crush on yourself?

Chen Li'an couldn't help but tremble, something must be wrong with this guy!

When Chen Li'an and Li Fuzhen talked about this in the evening, Li Fuzhen also said with some confusion: "The financing content has been determined today, and Sequoia has received the largest share. What does he mean by asking you?"

Chen Li'an shook his head slightly. He didn't quite understand what was going on. Are they just friends? Want to continue participating in subsequent rounds of financing?

Chen Li'an and Li Fuzhen could only think of this possibility, but there had been no problems so far, so they simply didn't think about it.

But early the next morning, news about Chen Li'an appeared in the New York Times.

After reading it, Chen Li'an couldn't help but frowned. These reporters were so idle.

First there was gossip about Chen Li'an and Jennifer's tryst, and then Chen Li'an and Sequoia Capital's Michael were photographed going to a cigar club together.

Even the fact that Chen Li'an is the largest shareholder of Magic Flute was exposed, and it was also revealed that Chen Li'an is the largest VCD manufacturer in China.

The newspaper also described Chen Li'an as a genius who was extremely obsessed with art and technology, and finally expressed that he was looking forward to the next product of Magic Flute.

After reading the newspaper, Chen Li'an always felt that Michael was responsible, but he and Jennifer had indeed been followed by paparazzi recently, and there was no evidence to prove that it was Michael.

Chen Li'an wondered if someone wanted to use himself as a hype. The traditional skill of the Internet in painting a big pie is to prepare himself to be included in it?

The Magic Flute with the blessing of celebrities can indeed attract more attention, which is good news for investors.

Want to become someone like Steve Jobs or Musk?

Chen Li'an slowly came back to his senses and felt that someone was behind it.

Chen Li'an sighed, why didn't he stop at all? You just know that I know, why are you exposing it?

When Chen Li'an went out the next day, he met many reporters, all of whom wanted to interview him about the Magic Flute.

Chen Li'an avoided reporters and went to the Magic Flute without saying a word.

In Mo Flute's office, Li Fuzhen looked at Chen Li'an and said with a smile: "Actually, it's good to be exposed. Celebrity effect is very helpful for the brand."

Chen Li'an sighed and said: "But it's more troublesome for me. Now I'm almost being watched 24 hours a day. In the future, if I add the name of an Internet boss, I will become the center of attention wherever I go." .”

The most important thing is that Chen Li'an is an artist. In the future, his artistic works will lose their mystery, and the works he creates will be criticized and questioned.

Even as an actor, he will not be recognized, and Chen Li'an will probably never have a chance to win the best actor again.

In the future, people will only say, Chen Li'an, is that the super rich man?

His art was auctioned for 10 million? Just hype it yourself!

Got the Best Actor? Did you buy it with money?

Damn capitalists, all fame is created by hype. If I were so rich, I could become an artist!

Chen Li'an doesn't want to just be a super rich man that everyone admires. Sometimes if you have too much money, others will deny your other achievements.

Being too rich and famous is also a worry.
