Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

By the end of 2005, Wanzhong Media's total revenue reached 17 billion yuan, and its net profit reached 6.5 million yuan. Both total revenue and net profit showed significant growth compared to the previous year.

In an effort to boost the stock price of Wanzhong Media, Li Xiaofeng announced that all of the company's profits this year would be distributed as dividends.

In the domestic stock market, whether or not dividends are paid out is irrelevant. However, in the Nasdaq stock market abroad, the regulatory authorities have clear regulations that at least half of the profits must be used for dividends.

At this point, after financing and the acquisition of Hezhong Media, his shareholding was diluted considerably, but this round of dividends still brought him 2 million yuan.

With these 200 million yuan, Li Xiaofeng was much more financially secure. He had about 500 million yuan left to pay his monthly mortgage payments. In other words, he wouldn't have to worry about mortgage interest and monthly payments for real estate speculation for the next two years.

In addition, he owns real estate worth 40 billion yuan, with annual rental income of nearly 2 million yuan. Although this money is ultimately used to pay monthly mortgage payments and bank loan interest, there is a significant time lag involved.

Bank loan interest is paid annually, while monthly payments are made monthly. Therefore, this money remained in Li Xiaofeng's hands for a considerable period of time.

If managed well, it can be fully utilized.

For Li Xiaofeng at present, there are two ways to make use of this: one is to invest in Tang Shanshan's gym, and the other is to invest in film and television dramas through Fang Huiya.

Currently, gyms have a high rate of return on investment, and it takes about two years to break even. In other words, half of the money invested can be returned in the same year, and the shortfall can be made up from the gym's own profits.

Tang Shanshan's investment in the gym, plus reinvestment of her own profits, has now exceeded 1.3 million yuan, with an annual net profit of over 6000 million yuan, showing a very good development momentum.

As for film and television investment, Li Xiaofeng was not actually going to invest in Fang Huiya's film and television company, but rather to invest in film and television dramas from other sources.

This year, Fang Huiya received 20 million yuan and invested in an anti-Japanese war drama, which was lukewarm at best. The most crucial problem is that she is a newcomer to the industry and doesn't have any decent resources.

In his previous life, Li Xiaofeng was a complete loser. His entertainment consisted of playing games online, and when he got tired of playing games, he would watch movies and TV shows.

Although he doesn't remember the specific details of some of the popular TV dramas from back then very clearly now, he can still recall some things when he sees the script.

Knowing that the show would be released and had decent ratings, Li Xiaofeng's film and television investment wouldn't lose money; it was just a matter of how much he would earn. This could be considered one of the perks of being a time traveler.

The return cycle for film and television investment is about one year. Most film and television productions have a shooting cycle of 6 to 8 months, and the remaining time is used for promotion and broadcast to attract advertisers to invest money.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng can take half of the 5 million yuan he has to invest in film and television dramas. When he needs the money next year, the investment returns from the film and television dramas will follow.

Some people may wonder, since Li Xiaofeng knows the names of those popular TV dramas, why doesn't he invest more money in TV dramas and instead goes into electric vehicles?

This is because most people don't understand the film and television industry and think that directors and producers are all pushovers who can be invested in as long as they have money, but that's not the case at all.

Many famous and outstanding directors and producers are actually sought after by investors.

In other words, the investors are demanding investment from these directors and producers, and a large portion of that investment comes from the television stations themselves, with outsiders having no say in the matter.

In other words, many of these dramas were highly anticipated from the very beginning of filming, so even if Li Xiaofeng wanted to invest, he couldn't get an investment share. As for those unknown directors and films, he didn't dare to invest in them.

Another point is that the film and television industry is not very developed at present and cannot accommodate too much investment. Li Xiaofeng himself also has limited knowledge of film and television content.

At Li Xiaofeng's current level and caliber, the main way to make money is through strategic investment, rather than speculative ventures where one can make a quick buck and leave.

Making full use of the foresight of one's past life memories to build one's own career and striving to break free from dependence on the foresight of past life memories—this is the true path for a time traveler.

Therefore, his main purpose was to enable Fang Huiya to simultaneously possess the dual identities of film and television producer and investor through investment in these films and television dramas.

With these two identities, directors, actors, and various production teams would rush to hand her their business cards.

The most important resource in the film and television industry is human resources.

In this way, Li Xiaofeng can not only make some money with his idle funds, but also help Fang Huiya obtain a large number of film and television resources, thus opening up a new world for himself in the film and television industry and laying a solid foundation.

In addition, Wanzhong Media, under Li Xiaofeng's control, can also share resources with these big names in the film and television industry.

For example, Li Xiaofeng can introduce his advertising clients to these directors and producers, and they can also introduce their advertising clients to Li Xiaofeng.

He can even collaborate with these directors and producers to win over advertising clients through additional means.

For example, directors and producers can arrange for business owners who advertise to dine with celebrities, introduce them to each other, and so on. This is cost-effective and can also bring them closer together.

Those pot-bellied, bald business owners are going to spend money on advertising anyway.

It doesn't matter who it's given to; the extra opportunity to get in touch with those female celebrities, or even to have a chance to get intimate with them, would be something everyone would flock to.

Especially in this era, many coal mine owners invest in film and television dramas not to make money, but mainly to have fun, satisfy their own needs, and at the same time, show off their social status.

Many years later, directors still praised them, saying that this group of people, apart from casting actresses, would not interfere with the director's creative process.

After receiving Li Xiaofeng's investment instructions, Fang Huiya was very excited and went around participating in film and television industry activities, traveling back and forth between Shanghai and Beijing.

In this day and age, although Shanghai has abundant film and television resources, the most concentrated place for these resources is still Beijing.

Now Liu Qianqian has settled down in Beijing. With her assistance, and Fang Huiya herself as an investor, they were immediately warmly welcomed by the Beijing film and television industry.

A stunning beauty, a film and television investor, and a film and television producer—this is equivalent to maximizing Fang Huiya's advantages in the film and television industry.
