Yan Ni suddenly spoke up: "President Shen, I have a question for you. What do you think about buying a house in Beijing? Your business is so big. With your guidance, I'm thinking of buying a house in Beijing. I've got my eye on two houses, but I don't have enough money. My family wants me to buy one first. I don't know which one to choose. I want to buy both."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Buying a house is definitely the most correct investment in the next 15 years, especially in Beijing, right under the capital. The real estate industry has been booming in the last two years. Houses within the Third Ring Road will definitely be incredibly expensive in the future. Just look at Hong Kong. Back in the 1980s, house prices were already over 10,000 yuan per square meter. Buying a house is a very wise choice. Don't hesitate. If you're going to buy, buy two. If you don't have enough money, take out a loan. For people like you who are on temporary assignments in government units, getting a loan is very easy. Buy as much as you can, you definitely won't lose money."

Cherry: "Mr. Shen, isn't it too risky to take out a loan to buy a house? Our monthly salary is only so much. What if we can't pay it back?"

Yan Ni was also concerned about this; their monthly salary was only a little over 1,000 yuan. If they bought a house, the mortgage would be a huge burden.

"Take my advice, buy it, even if you have to take out a loan. You'll definitely regret it if you don't. As for the money, I don't think you need to worry. Once you're famous after this movie, you won't have to worry about money anymore."

Yan Ni was speechless: "We haven't even started filming this drama yet."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "I do have a solution. As you know, I am a major shareholder of Tencent, and Tencent's future development path is games. If you are willing, you can endorse our games. I will offer each of you 100,000 yuan."

Yan Ni exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my god, really? 100,000? For a game endorsement?"

Shen Fang nodded: "That's right, you should consider it and discuss it later. If there are no problems, I'll have the Penguin Games team come over to sign the contract with you. Also, my private snack shop can cooperate with you."

Cherry and Yan Ni were overjoyed; the money was finally here!

Shen Fang had actually planned to develop the Wulin Gaiden IP from the very beginning. His plan was to make it into a trilogy: the first part was Wulin Gaiden, the second part was Longmen Express, and the third part had not yet been written. However, writing it would not be difficult. With so many screenwriters in the company and so many authors in Wai Zai Feilong Novels, launching a sequel to Wulin Gaiden would not only boost the popularity of Wulin Gaiden but also allow him to profit from the authors, since he held the copyright anyway.

The author makes a small amount of money, while Shen Fang makes a large amount.

This is how you cultivate an IP. In a few years, you can make a spin-off movie of "My Own Swordsman" to cash in on fans. Of course, Shen Fang won't make the movie version as stupid as the later ones. Making it just to cash in is a skill. Cashing in is a skill. As long as you are skilled enough and the movie is not bad, fans are still very willing to be cashed in. This is what is called nostalgia.

We should also get into gaming. Putting everything else aside, as long as the TV series airs, just relying on its popularity, making money wouldn't be too difficult.

A mere 100,000 yuan endorsement fee per person seems like a lot when Yan Ni and the others weren't famous yet. In total, it's less than 1 million yuan. To hire so many popular actors to endorse a game for 1 million yuan is an incredible way to make money.

Yu Entai was also shocked. 100,000? Wow, that's too rich.

Yan Ni couldn't wait to sign the contract right now.

"President Shen, I agree, all three of us agree."

Shen Fang waved his hand: "I have plenty of time. I'll be staying here for a while. You guys should discuss this properly so you won't say I'm being unfair later."

Cherry quickly shook her head: "How could that be? Mr. Shen, you are definitely the most honest person we have ever met. We believe you."

With 100,000 yuan, should I buy a car or a house? It's such a difficult choice.

"I'll give you three days to talk things over. If there are no problems, I'll have someone come over to sign the contract for you."

Yu Entai nodded: "Okay, President Shen, let's discuss this properly later."

Yan Ni looked anxious. What's the point of discussing it? She's now possessed by Tong Xiangyu and all she wants is money.

However, Yu Entai dissuaded them. They had indeed discussed the matter together, and they couldn't be rash about signing the contract. Even if Shen Fang's offer was very tempting, they should still discuss it with their colleagues. However, no one should disagree; who would turn down money?

After everyone had finished their dessert, it was almost 5 o'clock, and Chen Fang and his group of six went to the nearby Taoyuan Restaurant.

He booked a private room and invited Ning Hao and the others over.

We ordered a table full of fresh seafood, and also got Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, bird's nest porridge, shark fin porridge, basically whatever was best to order, and ate to our hearts' content, money was no object.

The meal was very satisfying, and everyone thanked Shen Fang for his hospitality.

Liu Qianqian's face visibly became rounder during the few days she spent with Shen Fang.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Liu Qianqian, who was resting on the chair, her belly already round. She couldn't help but worry; if this continued, her precious baby would become a chubby little girl, which wouldn't do.

“Sisi, you can’t keep eating like this starting tomorrow. You’ve been eating so much with Xiao Fang these past two days, your face has gotten round, and if you keep going like this, you’ll ruin your image.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian pouted and said, "Mom, I want to eat it."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head: "If you want to become a chubby girl, then eat. If you don't want to, then listen to your mother. Have you forgotten your dream? Have you ever seen a great actress who is fat?"

Liu Qianqian nodded upon hearing this: "I'll listen to your mother and eat less from now on."
