When this news reached back to China, no one actually took it seriously.
A famous manor? A historical symbol in the eyes of the people of country A? A huge area? What does that have to do with them? They were too busy celebrating that "The Cultivator" won four awards.
It wasn't until the media in Country A reported that the new owner of the manor was Asian that people became interested.
[Asian, is he the so-and-so from country H? ]
[There seem to be only a few wealthy Asians in country A]
[Jones Manor is quite famous in Country A. It can be bought and sold.]
[Of course they can sell it. Their land can be privately owned, so the manor is inherited from generation to generation. Last year, I saw that Jones Manor was listed as one of the most luxurious manors in the world. Maybe the rich man who bought it decided to buy it after seeing that inventory.]
[It used to be a castle, I think it was built by a king or a duke, and later it was renovated. I've read reports about it, and it looks so luxurious just by looking at the exterior.]
After the media started reporting that the new owner might be of Chinese descent, the domestic spectators became a little excited.
【Chinese? Yes, yes】
【Who is so awesome? 】
[I just want to know whether he is a foreign boss or a domestic boss]
[Everyone, don’t be so happy. They are all said to be of Chinese descent. Although they are Chinese, they are not Chinese in the strict sense. They have foreign nationality. What does it have to do with us?]
Finally, a photo that was obviously taken secretly was released by the media of Country A.
Judging from the blurry side view, this is a woman, and should be relatively young.
There was a large group of people following her, and next to her there was a man in a suit with his hand outstretched in front of him as if introducing them.
The young woman was wearing casual clothes, with a tall man holding an umbrella for her next to her. Behind her, seven or eight men and women in black clothes, tall and long-legged, wearing tactical headphones, who looked like bodyguards, followed her.
In addition, the sun was setting when the photo was taken, and I don’t know if it was intentional by the photographer, but the light was a little darker. Right in front of them was a towering castle.
And the staff waiting respectfully in front of the castle, they were dressed in work clothes, smiling and welcoming the arrival of the new owner of the castle.
To use contemporary Internet language, that is: the atmosphere is maximized.
As the photo came out, those who were interested became more excited, and those who were not interested were attracted by this photo that could be called a movie scene.
[My goodness, what kind of black-daoist lady is this?]
[Oh my god, there are so many long legs at a glance]
[Is the young woman holding the umbrella in the photo the unknown rich person who bought Jones Manor? Isn’t she too young? ? ]
[Is she just here to see me on behalf of the elders? But why do I feel like she looks familiar?]
[She looks familiar, I have definitely seen her somewhere before]
After a while, someone revealed: [Isn’t this Sheng Quan?! ]
Sheng Quan is not an artist, but her popularity is no less than that of a star. Especially after Jin Shulin won the award for "The Cultivator", everyone in the entire crew was mentioned at least three times.
Not to mention that the filming location of the Ten Immortal Palaces is Sheng Quan's. She is also the largest investor in the crew and a good friend of Xu Man. Even Jiang Zhen, who has been in the limelight recently, is an artist under Xingmang Entertainment.
When being interviewed, Xu Man mentioned more than once that this project was not originally favored, because the fantasy theme was extremely unpopular at the time. It was the strong support of Shengquan that made the current "Cultivator" possible.
Sheng Quan has fans, and there are quite a lot of them. Before "The Cultivator" was released, they edited some videos related to Sheng Quan, and after "The Cultivator" was released, there were even more flattering comments.
For example, the words Xu Man used to praise Sheng Quan on the show were edited into a short video, which received a lot of likes.
"I was really stressed out at the time because cultivation was so expensive. Sheng Quan saw that I was stressed out, so he told me, 'You shoot, and I'll invest wherever you shoot.'"
"Yes, she likes Xianxia very much. She thinks this is something that belongs to us Chinese people, because Xianxia is a kind of romance that is unique to China."
"I did consider whether I could not make back my investment, after all, the expenditure was too high, but Sheng Quan remained calm.
No one comforted me by saying that it was okay if I couldn't come back.
She always says that it is so beautiful that unless everyone is blind, it won’t make a profit, hahahahaha, yes, she is usually very humorous. "
After Sheng Quan’s fans mass-produced videos, many people were familiar with her appearance, even though she rarely appeared in front of the camera.
Fine C novels, H novels, and BL novels are all available at: Tuoluoge After all, she is pretty, and everyone is willing to take a few more glances at her.
With such public familiarity, more and more people think that this is Sheng Quan.
"It's her. No matter how you look at it, it's her."
"Is it me, Mr. Sheng? ! ! Is it me, Mr. Sheng, the Chinese who bought Jones Manor? ! ! "
"I didn't see whether it was Sheng Quan, but you see the man holding an umbrella next to her. He should be her bodyguard or assistant, right? In previous photos, he was always next to Sheng Quan."
Jiang Lu has indeed been deliberately downplaying his presence, but he is a trained veteran and not a person with special abilities, so he will still be photographed if he is supposed to.
It's just that no one had noticed his existence before, until this time, the footage was too blurry and people couldn't be 100% sure whether it was Sheng Quan, so they cleverly began to check one by one through the people around her.
Soon, the photos of Jiang Lu that used to be with him were found.
Everyone was surprised to find that this man, who looked tall and strong, appeared in every photo of Sheng Quan.
[When he was singing "Singing with You", he was sitting behind Mr. Sheng. I didn't even notice him at that time! He is actually quite handsome! ]
[When Mr. Sheng and my daughter Aiko went out to eat barbecue, he actually followed them! I always thought it was just the two of them! ]
[This bodyguard was also in the crew footage. In every shot of Sheng Quan, he was always about one meter away from Sheng Quan. Sometimes he was on the left, sometimes on the right, but always there.]
[He was also there when Sheng Quan took photos with foreign celebrities]
[This is a real bodyguard. Look carefully at his superior facial features. Even an old pervert like me couldn't detect his presence. This guy must have learned the art of invisibility.]
After a brief discussion, the topic quickly returned to the main point.
What is known: The young woman photographed is the new owner of Jones Estate.
We also know that the young woman looks like Sheng Quan, and the bodyguard holding an umbrella for her is inseparable from Sheng Quan.
Answer: Sheng Quan bought the Jones Estate.
The netizens who were originally slowly eating melons suddenly became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
[Ahhhhh really? Really? ! ! I remember Sheng Quan’s nationality was Chinese! ! ]
[Upstairs, Sheng Quan is a pure Chinese, and she is super patriotic! You can see it from her previous interviews! And this time, the cultivator, she invested because she thinks Xianxia is unique to China! ]
【Ahhhh my friends, please don't miss the point! That 1.13 billion is not RMB! If converted into RMB, that's 9 billion! 9 billion, my friends!!!】
[Sheng Quan is a powerful person who can donate 100 million yuan. Moreover, my General Quan is committed to entertaining everyone and herself. Life Path and Cultivator were all filmed with her investment. In order to film Cultivator, she even bought a piece of land in the Magic City to build the Ten Immortal Palaces! ]
[It's so funny. Many media outlets in Country A are criticizing the Jones family, saying that they shouldn't sell the Jones Manor, which witnessed the history of Country A, to foreigners. Why do I feel so good watching it?]
This netizen was not the only one who felt happy. In fact, most netizens felt very happy when they saw those critical news.
If Shengquan spent 9 billion to buy something in the country, some people might make some sarcastic remarks.
If she bought a courtyard of historical value in China, there would be a lot of people who would be jealous and scold her.
But the point is, she bought a historical building in country A.
And it's famous! Everyone in country A knows it! The more people in country A criticize it, the more dissatisfied they are with this grand cross-border transaction, the more the Chinese people like it.
Everyone was very happy and started making various speeches.
[Why are you so unhappy? Jones Manor is being auctioned off. We are not preventing you, country A, from buying it. The highest bidder wins. What is there to be unhappy about?]
[Yes, if Country A is unwilling to sell its historical and cultural buildings, it can let the rich people of Country A buy Jones Manor.]
[Hahahahahahahahaha everyone please don't say that. We live in the global village together, so we should still be friendly. People from country A have collected a lot of our Chinese cultural relics before. It's normal for us to reciprocate and spend 9 billion to buy a historical building from country A.]
[It’s so funny. Did you notice the person who introduced Sheng Quan? He’s the eldest son of the Jones family. His attitude is so nice.]
Some people were relatively sober: [Everyone, don't say anything so early, it was just an accidental photo. It's not certain whether Sheng Quan bought Jones Manor. Even if the person in the photo is really her, maybe she was invited to visit.]
Not long after this message was sent, Sheng Quan’s Weibo posted an update.
Sheng Quan: [New home party, such a large crew finally has a place to live]
Illustrations, various photos of the interior of Jones Manor.
Swimming pool, golf course, castle complex, basketball court, tennis court, huge gym, large library, even a large forest, flower room, helipad, and so on.
All the crew members who came to participate in the Golden Forest Awards gathered together. It should be a party. Everyone was laughing happily.
Netizens who saw the picture said: [So, Mr. Sheng, did we really go to the award ceremony and then suddenly decided to buy such a large manor, ahh ...
[Did you buy Jones Manor just to house the crew? ! It’s so luxurious! ! ! ]
【Ahhhhhh I’ve turned into a screaming chicken ahhhh】
Sheng Quan looked at the various shocked comments that were replied to almost instantly by domestic netizens. He lay on a lounge chair by the luxurious outdoor swimming pool, looked at the handsome men and beautiful women playing in the water, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of... ice cola.
Why buy the Jones estate?
What is it going to be used for? She also wanted to know.

Sheng Quan resisted drawing the lottery for such a long time, and waited until Xu Man and Jiang Zhen's career degrees were both over 55 before he started drawing the lottery.
Then, she won the Jones Estate which was being auctioned.
It is worth more than 9 billion RMB and ranks among the top ten luxurious manors in the world.
To be honest, it’s not a loss to accumulate the lottery qualifications for such a long time, and it can even be said to be a profit.
You know, the funds needed to maintain the manor and various miscellaneous expenses are also included in the scope of the lottery, which means that she didn't have to spend a penny to get such a large manor that everyone dreams of.
So the question is, how many days can Sheng Quan live here in a year?
She is not very interested in living abroad, even though it is like a treasure trove with everything she wants. But President Sheng still prefers to stay in China, occasionally visiting her own company, shopping when she is happy, and watching the crew of a drama invested by her company when she wants to watch the fun.
But she couldn't sell it for cash, let alone let it be open to the public. If she did, not only would others think she was crazy, she herself would feel it was a waste of resources.
Therefore, the biggest purpose of this huge manor is to show off.
Several months of lottery qualification, just in exchange for this chance to show off.
Sheng Quan put down the wine glass in his hand heavily.
But it doesn't matter.
The advantage of pretending to be cool is that everyone will smile at her.
She turned sideways and looked at the secretary whose phone kept ringing and answering calls almost non-stop: "Are you inviting me to a banquet again?"
The secretary quickly turned off the sound on his phone: "Yes, Winston's chairman wants to invite you to a banquet next Monday."
Sheng Quan: "Is this the nth time someone has invited me to a banquet?"
"The seventh one, but there were also various drinking parties and some beach parties. I recorded them all."
“And then there are the directors who want your investment.”
Sheng Quan bought Jones Manor. This move was not only shocking to ordinary people, but also considered quite generous among the "upper class" in Country A.
I don't know whether she is popular in her own country, but in Country A where money makes the world count, Ms. Sheng Quan from China has obviously become the most popular person at major banquets.
But why should she go?
Attending someone else's party?
Sheng Quan stood up and threw his bathrobe on the recliner:
"Make a list of invitations. I'm going to hold a banquet at the manor. In addition to the guests from Golden Forest, I'm going to select some other countries whose films were not nominated but are of good quality."
Sheng Quan has just demonstrated her strength. If we invite celebrities from all walks of life at this time, they will most likely come to the banquet.
And these "upper class celebrities" will be attracted to each other.
Slowly, Jones Manor, no, Star Manor, will become the next place of fame and fortune that the whole world will flock to.
After giving the instructions, she stretched out her legs and easily jumped into the water.
Since you want to show off.
Of course you have to pretend to be big.
No one said that she couldn't set up a second Golden Forest.
