Debuted right after graduating from high school

We haven't seen each other for so long, and the fields have been lying fallow.

Furthermore, spurred on by "Miss Matilda F," Daddario truly pulled out all the stops and was subjected to all sorts of abuse.

Afterwards, lying on her side, too exhausted to move, she asked with seductive eyes:
"You just said that the lady in the photo is special to you. What do you mean? Is she a former friend or a lover?"

Feeling guilty, he couldn't help but try to probe again.

Fan Wumian was admiring the scenery, watching the sweat slide down her neck.

In response, one can only say that neither AI-generated beauties nor anime girls can compare to the fun of real people. The satisfaction gained solely from the spiritual world is nothing compared to the warmth of physical touch and the sounds of skin touching skin.

Abandoning principles and morality, and enjoying a life of unbridled indulgence like this is truly wonderful.

Fan Wumian took a sip of water to moisten his throat and smiled, saying:
"Didn't you notice even the slightest thing? Miss Matilda is like a more sophisticated version of Miranda Kerr or Jessica Alba. If such a girl truly existed in the world, she would have been discovered long ago, just like you. Audiences always claim to appreciate talented actors, yet they instinctively prefer to focus on handsome men and beautiful women. Take Megan Fox, who's recently become incredibly popular, as well as Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie—they're all known for their sex appeal, and their careers have been much smoother than those of ordinary actors."

The same applies to Alexandra Daddario.

In her previous life, she became famous at a young age, past her prime.

This girl is only 21 years old now, and her face looks like it was meticulously sculpted. At the same time, her naturally large figure is so exaggerated that she will have to undergo surgery to reduce some of the weight in the future due to back pain.

Since getting together with Fan Wumian and receiving some support, Daddario's popularity has been soaring. With the title of "Hollywood's New Number One Handsome Bear", he has gained nearly a million fans on Facebook and YouTube, more than 90% of whom are men from all over the world.

Hear the words.

Born into a family of lawyers and prosecutors, and actually quite intelligent, D'Addario suddenly seemed to realize something and asked in a surprised tone:

"You mean the Matilda in the photo is a mannequin?"

Fan Wumian explained with a wicked smile:

“Yes, a few months ago I acquired a small company in Silicon Valley and had them create several virtual stars, Matilda being one of them.”

"Their technology is quite good. Although they can't do large-scale development or video production, they spent a lot of time and effort retouching the photos, and the results have exceeded my expectations. I plan to plan a marketing campaign around her to promote the Valentino brand."

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you. Once your popularity rises a bit more and you have enough excellent works to support your influence, I should have already terminated my contract with my current global spokesperson, Monica Bellucci. If we change the brand logo to use the V-line on your chest, it can have a marketing effect again, and the endorsement fee will be at least several million US dollars."

Because they were in different places and rarely saw each other, Fan Wumian secretly made her a promise, not wanting to let this sexy beauty go easily.

Since returning from his trip to the UAE, Daddario's financial situation has improved dramatically, but the signing fee plus the deposit he already received for Twilight still only amounted to a few hundred thousand dollars.

When Daddario flew to Hong Kong to see Fan Wumian, he brought good news: with Britney's help, he had auditioned for and landed the lead role in "Twilight," with a total salary of $80.

Mythical Film Studios has also arranged two small roles for her. Her popularity will likely increase as she has outstanding representative works. In addition, she is sexy and beautiful enough to fit Western aesthetics. It would be reasonable to have Daddario as a spokesperson in a few years.
D'Addario was excited after hearing this. He sat cross-legged on the bed, used his hands to create cleavage, and asked:
"Like this? Before I was with you, the first time I knew Valentino was because of Monica Bellucci's advertisement. At the time, I was even thinking of designing a logo from her body. She was so sexy and charming."

Fan Wumian stared intently at the book until the end, then spoke:

"Your strength is a bit off, let me handle it."

------------

The next morning.

Instead of rushing out, Fan Wumian stayed in the suite to enjoy breakfast and then sat at the small round table flipping through magazines.

Daddario was wearing a nightgown. While chatting with him, I suddenly asked out of curiosity:

"I've always wondered what it's like to have billions of dollars in assets and manage hundreds of billions of dollars. There are many super-rich people in New York, but I don't usually have the opportunity to meet them. They just seem very mysterious, authoritative, and powerful, as if they have the whole world under their control."

Fan Wumian didn't look up; he was staring at a concept drawing of a skyscraper, considering whether to design some of Valentino's flagship stores in an exaggerated and highly recognizable style to attract people to visit and take photos.

Luxury brands need to come up with more flashy but impractical gimmicks to maintain their high-end image.

Just like Tiffany's sterling silver "steel wool" bracelet worth tens of thousands of RMB, Hermès dog leash worth more than $2000, and LV toilet worth $10, ordinary people would think these brands are crazy. But from a marketing perspective, the whole thing is undoubtedly a particularly successful marketing case that can implant the subconscious concept of "luxury" in people's minds.

Since Valentino's revenue surged, earning Fan Wumian hundreds of millions of euros in paper wealth, it fully demonstrates that the company has the potential for in-depth development and deserves more attention to solidify its foundation.

He began to answer Daddario:
"How can I describe it? Most of the time, it feels like being surrounded by the kindness of the whole world. 99% of the basic troubles in daily life have been reduced. Problems that can be solved with money are no longer problems. I have more opportunities to choose my life. Overall, it's really great. I'm living a very enjoyable life."

“But after material worries disappear, mental worries follow. For example, I subconsciously like to put my time into work and I also like to gain a sense of accomplishment by helping others. For example, the Monster Lady account has helped many poor people improve their lives. My asset management company has helped clients make money and at the same time prevented millions of middle-class people in Asia from being exploited and bankrupted by Wall Street.”

"Everyone has different ways of expending their excess energy. Some are obsessed with slowing down aging and extending lifespan, while others are obsessed with war and wealth, trying to wreak havoc on the world. Some people scheme against each other all day for power, while others try to forget that they are rich and try to live the life of an ordinary person, or turn their attention to the stars and the sea. But with the current level of space technology, these people can only satisfy their cravings by making movies."

"The authority and power you focus on may stem from the lack of restraint among America's super-rich, who often bully others and harm the world. In reality, there are many people like me who hope the world can become a better place."

Fan Wumian only mentioned that he was busy with business. As for indulging in a harem, only a madman would confess to D'Addario without being asked, lest she see him as a "devil".

I've met many wealthy people, and each of them has their own way of being crazy.

People like Pony Ma and Jack Ma put almost all their energy into their work and try to make their lives fulfilling and exciting. Wanda's CEO is similar; he's focused on expansion and can't reach out to other places.

The situation is even stranger in the US. Oracle's Larry Ellison bought an airport and fighter jets, and often commutes to get off work in his own fighter jet. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is obsessed with slaughtering pigs and sheep. Zovin Rogers, who recently became wealthy, enjoys extreme challenges. A while ago, he took time off to climb K2, but clearly overestimated his abilities and was pulled down by the guide before reaching the summit, resulting in a few days in the hospital.

Compared to them, Fan Wumian felt that his mental state was quite good, much more normal than those war-obsessed American lunatics and biological weapons enthusiasts.

However, his willingness to forgo tens or hundreds of billions of RMB in earnings for the sake of countless unrelated investors, and his actions of going against international speculators, can also be seen as a way to pursue a sense of spiritual satisfaction, a risky and irrational act of dancing on a tightrope.

It's hard to describe in words what it's like to have billions of dollars in your hands; only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand, and everyone's experience and feelings are different.

After he finished speaking, D'Addario seemed to understand, and said with a smile:
“I went to Hollywood when I was a teenager, but my career never really took off. Although I played the lead role in some low-budget films, the box office was terrible, and hardly anyone knew me. Recently, with your help, I feel a huge change in my life. At your level, the changes must be much greater than mine.”

“My dad once handled a case where a super-rich man became addicted to alcohol and crashed his car into another vehicle, causing serious injuries to the driver. My dad wanted to push the investigation forward, but ultimately he couldn’t succeed.”

"Back then, I was thinking, why would that tycoon, who already had everything others could only dream of—a manor on Long Island, luxury cars and helicopters, and skyscrapers in Manhattan—still rely on alcohol to numb himself? Now I think I understand."

Fan Wumian did indeed experience a sense of emptiness and clearly understood Jack Ma's mental state after becoming suddenly rich.

However, if you bring up this kind of thing to an ordinary person who is constantly worried about money, it is difficult for the other party to understand. They will only be met with endless ridicule and sour remarks, and will be regarded as showing off or being pretentious. They will be told to eat cake or something similar. It is better to keep quiet and hide away to find a way to deal with it on your own.

He continued speaking to Daddario:
"Once you've earned tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, you might encounter some tricky troubles. There are some things you should never touch, because once you get involved, you'll be completely ruined. They're so easy to obtain in the United States. Whether in New York or Los Angeles, you can see many poisonous insects on the roadside. It's really scary."

Daddario smiled and said:
“I’m not that stupid. One night, I was driving through Harlem in Manhattan, which is known as ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ in New York City. It scared me to death. My parents have always warned me since I was a child that I must never come into contact with those drug addicts. If I find them, I must cut off all contact immediately to avoid being dragged down by them.”

Unlike Megan Fox, a pretty but naive "vase" with little knowledge, Daddario was born into a wealthy family in Manhattan and received an elite education from a young age.

The reason she was able to become an actress at such a young age and even play the lead role in a low-budget film is not only because of her own good qualities, but more importantly because her parents and relatives who have settled in the United States were able to help pave the way and provide her with resources that, while not particularly impressive, were enough for ordinary actors to dream of.

The girl's family originated in Italy, and some members went to New York to develop their careers a century ago. Her grandfather, Emilio Q. Daddario, even served as a Connecticut House of Representatives for 12 years. Growing up in such a family, she had a much higher starting point than the average person.

So although he hadn't been living comfortably for the past few years, D'Addario hadn't really worried about making a living. He then asked:

"Could I do you a small favor? My mother works at a law firm and is currently competing for a senior partner position, but compared to another colleague, she lacks significant clients. If your hedge fund, or your business in Silicon Valley, could allocate some litigation cases to my mother, her chances of becoming a senior partner would be greatly improved."

Fan Wumian calmly said:

"Sure, litigation costs in the US are very high. If the price is right, it doesn't matter who pays. But what can I expect in return for helping you?"

Thinking he was thinking about something, Daddario smiled and started tying his hair.

Upon seeing this, Fan Wumian quickly told him:
“I just woke up. You can repay me tonight. I'll call Rogers later, and then you can have your mom visit my hedge fund when she has some free time. Forget about Paulson's hedge fund; they seem to still hold a grudge about my investment in W.M. Rogers' hedge fund. John Paulson is only good at one-off deals; in terms of long-term potential, his hedge fund is not as good as mine.”

When his hair was halfway tied up, D'Addario put his hand down and asked about his experiences during his voyage to Europe.

They then started talking about Hollywood.

She said to Fan Wumian:

"Did you know that Britney's best friends have been getting into trouble one after another? First, Paris Hilton went to jail for driving without a license, then Lindsay Lohan went to jail for drunk driving, and then Kim Kardashian made a big splash because of the bedroom videotape. After the videotape was leaked, she even gave the DVD company the license to release it publicly."

Influenced by the butterfly effect, the videotape scandal still occurred, forcing Fan Wumian to consider the possibility of "careful design," making it difficult to explain as an accident.

Given Kim Kardashian's personality, it's not surprising that she would do something like this. Perhaps this woman has long intended to imitate Paris Hilton's path to fame, but she just lacks a famous boyfriend, sacrificing him as a stepping stone on her own road to fame.

If Fan Wumian hadn't succumbed to temptation and had insisted on testing the waters, he might have been the male lead in the videotape. Women like Kim Kardashian are willing to do anything to gain fame and attention.

After D'Addario finished speaking, Fan Wumian remarked with emotion:

"I've long felt that Britney Spears' social circle has some issues. It's too much like the American sorority that often appears in movies and TV shows. Fortunately, she works with me to manage the Monster Lady account, so I'm too busy to hang out with them."

Daddario said with a smile:
“I watched the latest episode. Britney locked herself in her room and forced herself to lose weight for 60 days, promising to donate $2 to a children’s welfare home for every pound she lost. During this time, she not only lost 24 pounds, but also wrote a great new song.”

Fan Wumian was both amused and exasperated.
“I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet. Before planning this episode, Britney wanted me to be the host to supervise her, but I didn’t have time to come.”

"It was around June, I think. Paris Hilton teamed up with Britney Spears to start a new business. I also invested $5 million, taking a 40% stake. Paris's imprisonment is actually a good thing, as it can make her famous again, which is very helpful to her business. Kim Kardashian has been getting so much attention lately, and from a business perspective, it seems worthwhile to invest in her as well."

"Before coming from New York, I saw the news that Skechers, a shoe brand, was planning to hire Kim Kardashian as a spokesperson. My Fei Li brand isn't selling well in North America, so maybe we could have Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Kim Kardashian all endorse and promote it, targeting young people."

During Fan Wumian's voyage, his team helped him regain Fei Le's operating rights in South Korea, spending a total of $4750 million. Afterwards, he was busy reorganizing and streamlining the management and marketing structure.

Both Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian have terrible public reputations.

However, it must be admitted that they are particularly good at creating buzz and attracting attention; every move they make can capture the attention of young people.

The cultural atmosphere in the United States is different. Although allowing these "tainted artists" to become famous may easily distort the values ​​of young people and cause some adverse effects, the traffic value they bring is exactly what Fan Wumian urgently needs now.

If Phile products become a hit in the United States, then by leveraging the influence of the American entertainment industry, they can easily spread to other parts of the world, thereby completely revitalizing the entire Phile brand and saving countless advertising and promotion expenses. The potential commercial value could be as high as billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars, making it worthwhile to take a risky gamble.

Thinking of this, Fan Wumian decisively called Britney Spears and asked her to ask Kim Kardashian if she had signed a brand endorsement contract with Skechers. If not, she asked her to find some time to meet Paris as well.

The reason Kanye West's Yeezy shoes became so popular in his previous life, earning him billions of dollars in paper wealth, was largely due to the influence of Kim Kardashian. These women are like "walking billboards," and putting aside their negative images, the benefits of collaborating with them are numerous. (End of Chapter)
