Chapter 278 276. Are We Barely a Rich Family?

At the entrance of the Victoria Hotel, the hotel has prepared a special car for Chen Li'an. The capitalist society is indeed very convenient.

After Chen Li'an got in the car, he picked up a magazine and flipped through it casually. The magazine was published last month, and it reported this year's Forbes list.

The richest man in Asia has appeared in Xiangjiang. The richest man in Asia in 120 was Li Zhaoji, known as the "Fourth Uncle" in Xiangjiang.

Chen Li'an is actually quite curious about how Xiangjiang's rich family culture came about. No one calls himself a rich family. The strong capitalist style sounds very unfounded.

But it is true that there is no background. Most of the rich families in Xiangjiang are only 30 to [-] years old, so it is not a problem to describe them as rich.

There are many wealthy families in Xiangjiang, dozens of large and small wealthy families. The standard for wealthy families is actually very simple, that is, the measurement of family assets.

Chen Li'an didn't know how far he was from the standard of this so-called wealthy family, or that he was already considered a wealthy family, but he didn't care about this kind of nouveau riche-like title.

The world is changing very fast. More than a month ago, Chen Li'an was still a mainland boy begging on the streets of Xiangjiang. After more than a month, Chen Li'an has become a "rich family".

This is too embarrassing for many Xiangjiang media, and even the people of Xiangjiang feel very different about it.Especially those middle-class people who bought art from Chen Li'an.

I thought everyone was the same, but I didn't expect you to become a rich man quietly.

However, this kind of news shocked the stars of Xiangjiang entertainment circle. Many female stars who met Chen Li'an were moved.

Aren't people like Chen Li'an more attractive than wealthy families?Instead of looking for the second generation of waste who may not have the right to inherit, it is better to look for the self-made generation like Chen Li'an.

There are not so many rules of a wealthy family, and you can freely control your wealth. The most important thing is that you are handsome and talented, and you are more attractive than Liu.

In this way, Chen Li'an became a "sweet pastry", but his family knew about his family affairs, and Chen Li'an's wealth was not as much as the outside world thought.

He only has half of the shares of Lixin VCD, and Lixin doesn't have much money at all.

CCTV has to pay part of the money for the king, and the production of the factory has to keep up, and money is spent everywhere.

This year’s sales of several hundred million yuan are actually less than 20.00% of the profit of the factory, and the profit margin of electronic products is usually between 20.00% and [-]. Some of the profits are distributed by dealers, and this year’s entry into home appliances In the industry war, prices have been cut a lot, and profits have been compressed a lot.

The sales of more than [-] million yuan and the profit of less than [-] million yuan, the real money Chen Lian got was only tens of millions.

However, Chen Li'an couldn't get all of the money, and the factory had to continue to develop, so there was no way he could take all the profits away.

Chen Li'an has no intention of becoming a rich man at all, he just feels like a piglet covered with gold foil, with a shiny surface.

However, if the shares are counted as assets, Chen Li'an is now a billionaire, but in Chen Li'an's view, the money he didn't get is just a number, who knows when it will be gone.

Lixin VCD is worth so much money today, but it may not be worth much tomorrow. Who can say for sure.

When the hotel car stopped, Chen Li'an threw the magazine in his hand on the seat. The richest man in Asia was too far away from him, and he probably wouldn't be able to play in this life.

It's good to be an artist with a little money. I really want to make that much money. Even if Chen Li'an has been lucky and has future memories, I don't know how much energy and time it takes to do it.

Why waste that energy, how nice it is to chat with beauties about art.

After coming to the art space, Chen Li'an didn't see how many people were there, only a dozen people were visiting.

Chen Li'an walked around the exhibition hall without seeing Ji Fa, so he walked towards the office area behind.

At this time, Ji Fa was chatting with several reporters, and the topic of the chat was also related to Chen Li'an.

The news that Chen Li'an spent [-] million on CCTV two days ago has been brewing in Hong Kong for two days, but there is not a single detailed report. Gossip magazines want to make up one by themselves, but they are worried that Chen Li'an will make a big move.

They still remember the lesson from the last time. It was just a gossip news, but it was directly turned into international news by Chen Li'an, and Xiangjiang's international image was damaged.

For an internationally famous artist like Chen Li'an, they have learned a lot about it.It's better not to provoke or not to provoke.

Who knows what he will say in foreign media one day that will affect his international image.

When Chen Lian walked into the rest area, he heard Ji Fa and the reporters chatting about himself, but the topic of the conversation was not about Chen Lian's business in the mainland, but how this art space combined art and commerce. What a man Chen Lian was An artist with a business mind.

Ji Fa dared to brag, almost blowing Chen Li'an to the sky, but the reporter was very interested and listened with gusto. After seeing Chen Li'an also came, he stood up and greeted him and wanted to interview him.

Seeing Ji Fa's eyes, Chen Li'an nodded in agreement, but he didn't expect the reporter's first question to be very sharp.

"Art has always avoided capital and politics. Why did you take the initiative to combine art and commerce and become a businessman? Is your art still pure?"

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The purer art is, the better, but it doesn't mean that artists don't have to live, and the creation of art has nothing to do with commerce, not to mention that my works are not for sale, so capital should not be involved."

The last point left the two reporters speechless, and what they said was really good. However, Chen Li'an's work was indeed not sold this time, so he couldn't find any reason to criticize it.

With such a not very gentle opening, the following questions naturally shifted to business. I asked Chen Li'an a lot of questions about business, and seemed to regard him as a businessman rather than an artist.

But every time the topic went off track, Ji Fa would correct the topic by the side, emphasizing that Chen Li'an was an artist, and a businessman second.

Chen Li'an also stated that he never participated in specific business management, but only occasionally participated in business operations as a consultant and investor.

Both Chen Li'an and Ji Fa are more interested in Chen Li'an's identity as an artist. This time, if it weren't for the fact that CCTV's bid was related to the development of Lixin next year, Chen Li'an would not have taken the lead.

But now that he's taken the lead, it's good to bear the result, and he's not the only rich artist.

As long as you keep a low profile in the future, don't always put the label of businessman on yourself.

Soon the interview was over, Chen Li'an took a sip of water and watched Ji Fa send the reporter away, and also sent several souvenirs that were on sale, worth tens of thousands.

After Ji Fa came back, Chen Li'an asked, "Why did you arrange this interview?"

"Didn't you tell me yesterday? We need to continue to package, and at the same time, we must also create to the outside world that you are not doing this for money."

In the middle of speaking, Ji Fa suddenly remembered something, took out a newspaper from a few days ago and handed it to Chen Li'an, saying: "Look at this newspaper, an expert said that what you make is not art, but a complete commodity, without any The collection value is just to come to Xiangjiang to cheat money."

It was only after Chen Li'an took the newspaper and read it that he understood what Ji Fa meant. These people were half right, they did it for the sake of making money, but Chen Li'an was not doing it for himself.

But art is also really art, and the artistry of an artwork cannot be denied just because it is marked with a price.

Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an and said: "Now that you have spent more than 2 million yuan in the capital, no one will believe this conclusion. The difference between the two is too big. The richer you are, the more you will appear in this art space." purely."

Chen Li'an hadn't thought about it from this angle, but what Ji Fa said made sense, everything has its pros and cons, and looking at it from another angle, it's really different.

This is what is special about professionals. If Chen Li'an did it himself, he probably wouldn't know what to do at this time.

Public opinion and marketing public relations are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa and said, "You are so professional, I am very glad that you have joined this project."

"This is just the most basic." Ji Fa said indifferently: "In the Western world, manipulating public opinion is a compulsory course for every capitalist."

Chen Li'an couldn't help but nodded, what he said really made sense, isn't that what capital is for.

From this point of view, domestic entrepreneurs are really weak, and they will only spend money on advertising without thinking.

Domestic capitalists still need time to grow up. When Chen Lian thinks about 20 years from now, he feels that there are not many good days left for him, so he needs to earn some money and retire early.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Li'an and Ji Fa participated in an auction in Xiangjiang. Ji Fa took the auction of the three works of art that he had sold, tripling the price.

Immediately after the auction ended, Ji Fa was busy contacting the media for publicity. The middle class who invested in art must see successful investment cases.

Chen Li'an did not participate in the following matters, and went to find Wang Zuxian after leaving the auction.

When he arrived at Wang Zuxian's place, Chen Li'an heard bad news that Zhang Guorong fell ill in Argentina due to acclimatization.

Chen Li'an sighed when he heard it, and told him not to accept this drama, he must listen!

Wang Zuxian looked at Chen Li'an worriedly and said, "Brother will be all right?"

"There shouldn't be anything wrong. I specifically asked him to take the doctor." Chen Li'an thought about it for a while and still felt uneasy, so he took out his phone and called Cheng Shufen.

The phone rang several times before Cheng Shufen answered it, as if she was busy packing up her things, she answered directly, "Li'an, I'm going to Argentina now, you and Ji Fa can take care of the art space, he It's very sick and I'm worried that something will go wrong."

Chen Li'an also became worried when he heard what Cheng Shufen said, and asked anxiously, "Have you found out the specific reason? I'll go with you."

"Amoebic virus, now the doctor has controlled the disease." Cheng Shufen sighed and said, "Fortunately, I listened to you and took the doctor there, otherwise the situation would be really bad."

Chen Li'an breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said to Cheng Shufen on the other end of the phone: "That's good, I'll go with you when you get on the plane."

Cheng Shufen paused on the other end of the phone for a while before saying: "He deliberately told you not to let you go, even Mr. Tang didn't let me go, if I insisted, he wouldn't let me go, now that the condition is under control, you Don't worry."

What a hypocrite!Have you written a suicide note?

Chen Li'an couldn't help cursing, and then said to Cheng Shufen: "Okay, if there is any situation, please contact me in time, and I must teach him a lesson when he comes back!"

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Cheng Shufen's mood also eased a little, and she said with a smile: "Okay, when he comes back, you will teach him a lesson for me. The master said that he and Wang Jiawei are not compatible, so if you don't listen, you will definitely not let him in the future." We have cooperated with Wang Jiawei."

"Let's reduce his work in the future, shoot less movies, isn't he coming out of the music scene now, let's sing honestly in the future." Chen Li'an sighed, and chatted with Cheng Shufen for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

"How is it? Is brother serious?" Wang Zuxian asked worriedly from the side.

Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian who was in a hurry, and comforted him with a smile: "It's all right, the condition has been brought under control, it will be fine if you get infected with the virus and rest for a while."

"That's good, I'm scared to death." Wang Zuxian patted his chest with some fear.

Chen Li'an didn't want Wang Zuxian to worry too much, so he put his arms around her waist and deliberately changed the topic and asked, "Are you so worried, what if I also"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wang Zuxian immediately stretched out her finger and pressed Chen Li'an's lips.

Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian's angry look, opened his mouth and bit her finger, and said with a smile, "I'm in such good health, I'm sure I'll be fine."

Wang Zuxian pulled out her finger in disgust and said, "It's all your saliva."

"You dislike me?" Chen Li'an snorted and said, "Don't beg me that night."

"I won't beg you!" Wang Zuxian pinched Chen Li'an's face, stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

After walking two steps, Wang Zuxian looked back at Chen Li'an and said, "I put on new nail polish."

Chen Li'an glanced at Wang Zuxian's feet. The white toes and black nails were particularly sexy, so he coughed and stood up and said, "Let's wash it together to save water."

Wang Zuxian smirked and said, "Then please beg me."

Chen Li'an: "." Just ask, and let her return it later!Let her kneel, stand, lie down and beg herself!

Not long after, Wang Zuxian's begging for mercy came from the bathroom.

"No. My knees are red from this position. The bathtub is so hard. Please hurry up."

"Then can you dive? It's underwater"

"Then I'd rather kneel!"

Chen Li'an snorted, this is your choice, don't regret it!
After a while, the two came out of the bathroom, walked around the living room and went to the bedroom.

It's just that the smooth floor is full of handprints and water stains, as if someone's hands and feet have been used in a circle in the living room.

The next day, Wang Zuxian, who was still in class, asked for leave directly. She couldn't move anymore. Her knees hurt and her arms didn't have much strength. She just wanted to rest at home.

Chen Li'an was kicked out by Wang Zuxian, otherwise she would not have a chance to rest.

"It's so miserable to be kicked out of the house." Chen Li'an sighed and muttered: "I don't know if she has learned the drawing skills I taught Zhou Huimin last time, why don't you check it?"

　I sprained my neck tonight, and I can’t even move my right shoulder blade. There’s still a chapter I’ll fill in tomorrow during the day, and there won’t be any less. Please forgive my minor illness and misfortune.
