Chapter 485 Short Drama Investment

Short dramas have low production barriers, short production cycles, and do not require a large investment. Their content themes are relatively flexible and unrestricted.

It is a promising investment direction, and Shen Xuewei is very optimistic about it.

As early as last year, she had already let several new directors try directing a few short dramas, which were launched on the Qingkuang platform's short drama theater and some independent short drama apps.

The investment cost of each film was kept below one million. Except for two films that barely made a splash and broke even, the other films made nearly five times the profit, and one film even made ten times the profit, which can be considered a successful trial.

While other film and television companies remained focused on television dramas and movies, looking down on short dramas, Tide Company increased its investment in short dramas.

Tide Media has reached a long-term cooperation agreement with two online literature platforms and jointly invested in a short drama app.

To this end, Tide Media has established a dedicated short drama department, which shows how much they value this area.

Chen Fanglan didn't hesitate much, "Okay, I'll invest some money with you and see what this short drama is all about."

She believed that Shen Xuewei's judgment would not be wrong.

The two finalized the investment in just a few words.

Chen Fanglan had just sold a batch of bags and wanted to buy even more.

The two went to the counter and took a look. In less than ten minutes, Chen Fanglan brought home several more bags.

Sitting in the car, Shen Xuewei watched her happily turning over and over several bags, worried that she might have more money and spend it on more bags, so she suggested:

"Auntie, if you have any spare money this year and don't know what to do with it, why not buy some gold and save it?"

"It's worthwhile to buy more gold now, as it's a hard currency. Otherwise, it will probably become more and more expensive next year or the year after. It won't be worth buying it then."

Chen Fanglan put the bag away and placed it aside, then looked over.

“I’ve actually bought quite a lot over the years, but since you’ve said that, of the money I made from selling bags before, I’ve only spent a little over a million on these, leaving me with over two million. I’ll use that to buy gold.”

"Since you're advising me like this, I suppose you've bought some yourself?"

Shen Xuewei smiled modestly, "Yes, I did buy a little bit."

That's not just a little bit, it's way too much!

After she turned eighteen, she made a fixed expense every year to buy gold.

Whenever I had free time, I would buy a few gold bars. Initially, my annual budget was one million.

As he earned more and more money, his annual expenditure on buying gold exceeded ten million.

Last year alone, she spent over 50 million on gold and various gold jewelry.

She can't quite remember the exact amount of gold piled up in the various safes, but it's definitely worth at least a thousand pounds.

She won't buy too many more after that; keeping these is enough.

This gold is her guarantee for a long future, and she will not use it lightly.

With her memories of her past life now in the present, there's nothing left to help her. As a result, she's become more cautious and conservative with her future investments, with the minimum requirement being to preserve her current wealth.

She doesn't flaunt her wealth, and she won't even tell her closest friend, Chen Fangli, about it in detail.

The other party only knew that she was quite wealthy now.

Shen Xuewei never told her exactly how much money or assets she had.

After leaving Shenzhen and returning to her home in Shanghai, as soon as she opened the door, Dadan wagged its tail and grinned as it pounced on her, both excited and aggrieved.

Shen Xuewei lost her balance and stumbled, falling to the ground with a thud.

It licked her face, and then she buried her face in her arms and whimpered pitifully.

Shen Xuewei was at her wits' end by its antics, so she grabbed its face and rubbed it hard.

"Okay, okay, stop yelling. I'll definitely take you with me next time we go out, okay?"

Dadan is now eleven months old and weighs almost eighty pounds.

The big thing nestled in Shen Xuewei's arms, acting all cute. Sister Zou looked down from the second-floor balcony and teased it.

To make it convenient to take Dadan with her wherever she goes, Shen Xuewei tries to drive whenever possible, as long as the journey doesn't exceed ten hours.

She used to suffer from motion sickness, but as she got busier, her symptoms became weaker.

I am now completely free from motion sickness.

After resting at home for a few days, Chu Dexi, who was finally on vacation, was like a swallow returning to its nest. He had barely stepped into the courtyard when he was already shouting inside.

"Sister, Aunt Zou, how dare you! I'm here!"

After graduating from junior high school, he was taken by Shen Xuewei and Chen Fangli to Shanghai for a team interview, where he successfully passed the tests and became a professional player.

The team's daily training and competition venue is a bit far from Shen Xuewei's place, so she usually stays in accommodations arranged by the club.

But during holidays, I occasionally come to Shen Xuewei's place.

After gaining courage, he visited Shen Xuewei more frequently.

Shen Xuewei was comfortably lying by the pool when she heard his voice. Her expression changed drastically, and she quickly got up and rushed home.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after chasing the bewildered Dadan down from the second floor to the first floor and making sure that she could attract Chu Dexi's attention and not bother her.

As expected, Chu Dexi's attention was immediately diverted upon entering and seeing Da Dan.

"Bold, my dear bold, it's only been two months, how come you've gotten so big?"

"Come here, let me hug you... Holy crap, you're so heavy, did you eat pig feed?"

He put down his bag and started playing with Dadan.

As the sun set and night fell, Chu Dexi finished his meal and looked at the star-studded night sky outside. He then glanced boldly at Shen Xuewei's feet.

"Sis, Dadan hasn't walked the dog yet today, has he? Let me walk the dog for you, so you don't have to go out and bother."

Shen Xuewei snorted, "Suit yourself, take it for a walk if you want. But the premise is that you can walk it on a leash."

Chu Dexi turned around and found the dog leash, then put it on Dadan.

"Sister, just you wait and see."

Da Dan was put on a rope, and at first he followed Chu Dexi.

However, when he got to the door, he found that Shen Xuewei hadn't followed. He tilted his head and first looked at Shen Xuewei, then at Chu Dexi.

Then it barked twice, ignored Chu Dexi who was trying to please it, and stubbornly walked back.

It was large and strong, and Chu Dexi couldn't handle it, so he was taken back to the dining table by it.

Boldly returned to Shen Xuewei's feet, lay down on the spot, and placed his mouth on the instep of Shen Xuewei's foot, completely ignoring Chu Dexi who squatted down to tease him.

Chu Dexi smacked his lips a few times, and Da Dan's tail twitched, but he still didn't follow him.

Chu De'an sighed and had no choice but to throw down the dog leash, giving up in despair.

"Sis, Dandan is still so clingy to you."

Shen Xuewei glanced at him. "This is my dog. Isn't it normal for it to stick close to its owner?"

Normally, besides Shen Xuewei, Da Dan only reluctantly lets Xu Yue take a stroll.

Let others slip away if they want, but Shen Xuewei must stay by her side, otherwise Dadan won't go with anyone else at all.

It just plops down there, and with that size, no one can do anything about it.

Urged on by Chu Dexi, Shen Xuewei leisurely finished her dinner, then lay down on the massage chair at home for half an hour, before taking herself and her dog out for a stroll.

The owners of this villa area are all wealthy and influential; you can recognize almost every one of them.

Even though they had no business dealings, as neighbors, they had attended various banquets and events together.

The two jogged around the villa area, with two bodyguards following behind at a suitable distance.

Occasionally, when she runs into someone she knows, Shen Xuewei will stop and exchange a few pleasantries with them.
