I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 338 is going too far, isn't it?

Ye Xian joked, "For you, Afif, this resort is just a small project! Selling a few barrels of oil will be enough for you!"

Afif shook his head: "No, oil will run out sooner or later. Our province of Arabia is now making every effort to expand various businesses and get rid of our dependence on oil. As for me, I have always been involved in tourism real estate, so I am very optimistic about this project."

Ye Xian understood Afif's thoughts very well. Whether in another world or on Earth, a monopoly on a single industry might bring huge profits, but if you want long-term development, you must make money make money.

Ye Xian thought about it and felt there were still some problems: "The IP of the Dream of the Red Chamber Resort is very limited. It might be popular for a while after the TV series is released, but it may not be popular in the long run. Are you sure you can make money by investing rashly?"

Afif smiled: "First of all, the traditional Chinese style of Dream of the Red Chamber has been established, and I believe it will become a must-visit destination for young people!"

Secondly, I feel that your upcoming films, "Painted Skin" and "Nie Xiaoqian," could be used to operate projects such as haunted houses, escape rooms, and murder mystery games, which could be integrated into the Dream of the Red Chamber Resort.

"And if you continue creating, I believe more individual units can be integrated into this resort. In that case, the tourism real estate won't be so thin; we can develop it into a film and television town."

Ye Xian opened his mouth, then couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen 'Painted Skin' and 'Nie Xiaoqian'?"

Afif nodded: "Thanks to my sister, I've read both of your masterpieces. I've also learned from friends that these projects are in the preparation stage. However, I heard that you're going to make a comedy first to earn money, which I regret. If you need money for the resort project, just ask, and I'll be happy to help."

Ye Xian was once again impressed by the methods and speed of these wealthy people.

The Dream of the Red Chamber Resort had only been under construction for a short time when they were already considering how to add more elements to the project, and had even revealed all their secrets.

Afif continued, "I have worked with the Sixth Princess before, but I feel I need to consult you first on this matter. If you are willing to help me make money, then I am willing to promote this project throughout the Tang Dynasty."

This time, not only Ye Xian, but Qiu Qing, who was standing to the side, was stunned by Afif's extravagant spending.

This is clearly an attempt to build an IP.

Moreover, it is a replicable IP.

This is the way the real tycoons play.

Ye Xian couldn't help but complain: "No wonder I've always been poor. It turns out my thinking is too narrow! I've always thought that I could be happy for a lifetime by building a Dream of the Red Chamber resort in Haizhou, but you're just talking about how you want to talk about the whole Tang Dynasty."

Afif quickly added, "Brother Xian, don't think like that. We were just born into a better environment. Compared to a genius like you who can turn himself into a self-made millionaire in just a few months, we're nothing."

Besides, you are so talented, my favorite work is your "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio"...

Seeing that Afif was about to continue praising him, Ye Xian quickly signaled him to stop: "Okay, okay, let's stop with the mutual flattery. I agree with your ideas, and they are indeed more comprehensive than I thought. I am also preparing to write my next book, and it is indeed suitable to continue building an IP, but this all needs to be tested by the market."

I will seriously consider your request and discuss it with Her Highness, as this matter ultimately requires her approval.

Ye Xian was never one to keep everything to himself. He gave shares to Liu Gongzhu and Ding Zhan at the winery, and he brought Liu Gongzhu into the food factory while reserving shares for Wang Dalong and others. He brought in Baixiang Entertainment and Tianmu Pictures to invest in the three films, and the profit sharing he gave to the nine artists he signed was the highest in the entire industry.

Ye Xian believed in the principle that you have to give up something to gain something.

Therefore, Ye Xian would not refuse Afif's offer to join him, after all, he was Hasina's brother, and Ye Xian had indeed approved of Afif's ideas.

However, he still needs to investigate the specifics with the help of the Sixth Princess and communicate with her.

The Sixth Princess is in charge of this project, and I can't keep ignoring her thoughts and bringing in more people to invest. If this continues, it will make the Sixth Princess unhappy.

Even if the Sixth Princess might not care about such a small amount of money.

……

Afif smiled happily, then pointed to his sister in the distance: "My sister, Hasna, is still unmarried."

"Um?"

Ye Xian was a little confused, but Qiu Qing suddenly sat up straight.

Afif patted Ye Xian on the shoulder, stood up and said goodbye: "You two should get some rest tonight. I'll be there to cheer you on at tomorrow's performance! I wish you a successful show."

Ye Xian stood up to say goodbye to Afif, and looked at his white robe fluttering in the wind, Ye Xian seemed to be deep in thought.

Turning his head, Ye Xian saw a pair of pouting lips.

"What's wrong? Weren't you just having a good time?"

Ye Xian was somewhat puzzled.

Qiu Qing didn't know if he was pretending not to understand or if he was really a clueless straight man, but based on her understanding of him, he was more of a clueless straight man, so she was probably just arguing with thin air right now.

Thinking of this, Qiu Qing couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Looking up at Hasina, who was wearing a veil, Qiu Qing compared her own figure to hers and felt that she was not at an advantage.

Then consider the other person's family background.

Completely defeated.

Lost in her thoughts, Qiu Qing was completely unaware that she had twisted the tissue in front of her into a pretzel.

Seeing this, Ye Xian finally understood: his childhood sweetheart was jealous.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xian leaned close to Qiu Qing's ear, his warm breath making her ears turn bright red.

What are you doing?

Qiu Qing was interrupted from her thoughts, so she took a slight step back and quickly glanced at the others. Seeing that no one had noticed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy is getting bolder and bolder lately.

What are you going to do in front of so many people? Qiu Qing's face grew redder and redder, as if it were tinged with the glow of the evening sun.

"We agreed on the plane, you'd bite me tonight! I'll be waiting for you in the room!"

Ye Xian's voice seemed to possess a magical power, almost causing Qiu Qing to lose her composure.

"Huh? Are you trying to die?!"

Qiu Qing immediately forgot what she had been thinking and grabbed a cushion from the chair, ready to throw it at Ye Xian.

Ye Xian laughed heartily and got up to call everyone back to the hotel.

Qiu Qing relentlessly pursued Ye Xian from behind, unleashing a barrage of wild punches that relentlessly pounded on his back.

The five girls, Li Hong, Wang Feifei, and others immediately revealed inexplicable smiles.

Hmm, looking at it this way, it's definitely more satisfying to ship childhood sweetheart couples.

This flirtatious banter is something no one else can imitate.

……

Everyone returned to the hotel and rested. Ding Zhan, looking exhausted, knocked on Ye Xian's door.

Ye Xian opened the door, and Ding Zhan stood at the doorway. He peeked into the bathroom, then looked at the bed, and only after confirming that no one was there did he confidently walk in.

"What are you doing!?"

Ye Xian glared at Ding Zhan, annoyed. Ding Zhan, usually so refined, smiled knowingly, "Wasn't I just afraid of disturbing your good time?"

"Speak quickly!"

Ye Xian lay back on the bed. He was too tired today. He would never go to such a thrilling amusement park again. Wasn't it better to lie in the hotel and look at his phone?

Ding Zhan sat on the office sofa and poured himself a glass of water: "I couldn't get the specifics out of him. Li Ming's circle is a bit too high-level, but from what I've gathered, it's nothing more than him trying to suppress you..."

As the two were talking about flowers, Qiu Qing suddenly knocked on the door and came in, and Ding Zhan's expression immediately turned strange.

You bastard Ye Xian!

He was just putting on an act with me a moment ago!

So you had made a promise with your childhood sweetheart long ago!

Should I tell Qiu's mother about this?

Should I leave?

Delaying the boss's good business could lead to someone's death!

Also, why is Wang Feifei standing at the door? Is he keeping watch?

Isn't this going too far?
