Debuted right after graduating from high school

Posting other things online is fine, but when it comes to desertification control, this is a very important matter.

to this end.

The authorities specifically called Shenzhen to inquire whether relying on pig farming to combat desertification was a viable approach.

Sandstorms frequently occur in northern China, severely impacting the international image and quality of life of major cities like Beijing and Tianjing. With the Olympics just around the corner next year, there is an urgent need for new solutions to address the problem.

Fan Wumian only explained that there was a vague theory, and a specific conclusion could only be drawn after actual experiments were completed. Moreover, not all places are suitable for using pigs to improve the ecological environment, and it will take a long time to see the results.

Compared to desertification control, the social problem of "garbage surrounding cities" seems to be the most urgent issue at present.

Fan Wumian had previously mentioned banning the import of foreign waste, and even spent 100 million RMB to make a documentary about it. Because it involves many companies and many related jobs, a proper solution has not yet been given. The initial plan is to gradually ban the import of foreign waste over a total of 5 years, but the official document has not yet been released.

When it comes to his investment in charity, Fan Wumian is not just putting on a show.

He also recruited a group of expert consultants in the name of his family trust fund to cooperate with top universities in mainland China, and privately sponsored several research projects on "clean energy generation through waste incineration", specifically to tackle furnace temperature control technology, waste gas treatment technology, online monitoring technology, and so on.

After learning that there were no theoretical problems, he took out another 3000 million RMB to finance a company called Fushan, which deals with solid waste treatment and wastewater treatment, in an attempt to turn some of the research and development results into actual profits in the future.

Having been in business for so long, some of my thinking habits have subtly changed.

Rather than spending real money to fill the hole, Fan Wumian hopes that the charitable foundation under his family trust will not only do something practical, but also turn waste into treasure and embark on a virtuous cycle.

Whether it's the "pig farming to combat desertification" proposed this time or the "clean energy generation through waste incineration" proposed before, both involve considerable business opportunities. Once the path is cleared, his charitable foundation will be able to support itself independently, allowing him to continue planning new charitable projects.

The critical illness fundraising platform, a collaboration between Tencent and its family trust, has been piloted in some cities and has helped thousands of patients. However, it has encountered numerous problems in its actual operation.

Some patients or their families have just recovered from their illness and immediately think about the charitable funds that should be included in the fund pool to help other patients, according to regulations.

There are also people whose families are clearly well-off, yet they still launch fundraising campaigns, desperately trying to cover things up during background checks. When exposed, they get angry and assault people, pretending to be innocent.

Most people are quite good, but a few bad apples can spoil the whole bunch, causing Tencent to be caught in the crossfire.

Therefore, Xiao Ma and Fan Wumian discussed it and both felt that it was best not to get involved in such a mess. Once the market was booming with crowdfunding platforms for serious illnesses, they should transfer the project to another charitable organization as soon as possible.

Rather than directly operating this public welfare platform, it would be better to donate a sum of money every year, or to use an asset management company to help medical insurance institutions manage their funds and try to expand the pie. At least this way, one wouldn't have to directly face so many troubles due to conflicts of interest.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

After finishing his concert in Shanghai, Fan Wumian took some time the next day to arrange a lunch meeting and personally met with Mr. Chen, the CEO of Shengda Networks.

He and Pony Ma discussed it over the phone beforehand, using Tencent's massive traffic resources as leverage, and agreed to cooperate with President Chen to operate a PC game developed by Shengda Network. The two parties reached an acquisition framework agreement on the spot for a total price of 2.5 million RMB, and bought Qidian Chinese Network as a package deal.

Zhang Liangying came to sing for him again yesterday and stayed at the old house on Julu Road last night.

As they were riding the elevator downstairs after accompanying Fan Wumian to a dinner party, the girl smiled and said:
“He said before that he might encounter some trouble, but it seems that President Chen is quite easy to talk to. He only hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing to the 2.5 million acquisition price you offered.”

Fan Wumian said calmly:

"Who knows? Maybe they realized that online novel platforms are difficult to operate because the barrier to piracy is too low. Or maybe they want to take advantage of the 2.5 million RMB cash-out, plus the good news of cooperating with Tencent to operate a new online game, to take the opportunity to reduce their holdings on the Nasdaq market and cash out some of their shares, putting the cash in their pockets." "Given the performance of Qidian.com, my acquisition price of 2.5 million RMB is really not low."

"In theory, running an online novel platform is indeed a good business, but in reality, it's similar to running a record album—you get ripped off until you're left with nothing, and there's simply no way to prevent copyright infringement."

Jane Zhang has recently been working out and taking care of her skin. She even went on a trip abroad and secretly got a course of skin whitening injections.

The change was so obvious that Fan Wumian guessed her little trick, but since Zhang Liangying didn't bring it up, he naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

To be honest, the effect was immediate.

Zhang Liangying looked much younger and more refined than before during this meeting. She had won over Fan Wumian several times last night in the old house.

Since its introduction, skin whitening injections have become a hit in the entertainment industry. Many celebrities who looked somewhat plain when they first debuted have undergone a dramatic transformation. The secret actually lies in this product, which has inspired countless people to follow suit and seek cosmetic procedures overseas.

Zhuang Muxi, Feng Ying'er, and Guo Biting don't need injections; they're naturally fair-skinned and beautiful. Inspired by this, Fan Wumian considered whether to send Dilraba Dilmurat to try it out if there were no side effects, so as not to delay the filming schedule of "Your Name".

The last time I saw Dilraba on a yacht, she was just a 15-year-old "little dark-skinned girl." It would probably take her about a year to naturally whiten her skin.

However, persuading her to get skin whitening injections in order to meet the deadline would make him seem like a heartless boss, so after thinking it over, Fan Wumian finally gave up.

Running an entertainment company inevitably involves encountering these kinds of situations.

He doesn't object to his artists wanting to use technology to enhance their beauty; sometimes, finding the right hospital can indeed have a life-changing effect. However, when the company forces its artists to undergo cosmetic procedures, it becomes a completely different matter and is somewhat egregious.

Zhang Liangying had other plans, so the two parted ways at the hotel entrance. Fan Wumian arranged for a car to take her to Jinling, and then they went to a temporary film studio under Tudou.com to visit the preparation site for the "Annual Comedy Competition".

Tudou.com was short of variety shows, so Fan Wumian helped arrange several, including the "Annual Comedy Competition," which invited 40 comedy professionals from across the country to intensively study comedy programs in a studio.

Deyun Society sent Cao Yunjin and Zhang Yunlei as partners. Zhang Yunlei, as Gangzi's wife's cousin, had been learning crosstalk for a long time. This time, he had the advantage of being close to the source and was put into the group by Gangzi.

As for Yue Yunpeng, it seems he has finally formally become an apprentice to learn crosstalk recently, and no longer has to wait tables or do odd jobs. Such a great opportunity to show his face is not yet available to him.

Benshan Media also sent Song Xiaobao, Xiao Shenyang, Liu Xiaoguang, and Wang Xiaoli, all of whom were guests personally selected by Fan Wumian. In order not to delay the performances at Liu Laogen Grand Stage, these people occasionally need to travel between the two locations.

It is worth mentioning that after investing in Benshan Media, Fan Wumian also sent people to contact Happy Muggle Entertainment Company, and under the guise of expanding into the stage play market, he invested in and acquired the company.

The business was too small, and the acquisition offer from Shanzhaiwang Media was only 100 million RMB. The three co-founders of Happy Muggle couldn't resist the offer and agreed to work for him.

The only problem was that the market size for spoken dramas and stage plays was too small. Afterwards, it is said that the senior executives didn't know how to spend the 200 million RMB that Fan Wumian had invested, so they found a group of screenwriters to help create a new script.

Familiar faces such as Shen Teng, Ma Li, Ai Lun, and Chang Yuan also appeared at the preparation site for the "Annual Comedy Competition" today, preparing for the first program to be filmed in two weeks.

After Fan Wumian appeared, he was immediately surrounded by people. At a glance, there were no fewer than 20 familiar faces, most of whom were his employees. He was a man of many talents.

The crowd was chattering away, leaving him unsure how to respond. He finally managed to escape the crowd and discuss with the production team the key points to focus on during filming.
