I'm A Baller - Chapter 408
Chapter 408: Centennial Foundation Stone
Last month, the Young Master drew a ball that he did not use.
[ Water purification core ]
[ Consumable ]
[The driving core of some high-tech products. Only external equipment can be used. ]
[ Single piece sells for 25 million RMB. ]
[ Note: when the system reaches level 10, the corresponding equipment will immediately appear. ]
At that time, he did not pay attention to it. Now that the system had reached level 10, it was the first time that the corresponding equipment appeared.
[ Underground water purifier ]
[ Special item ]
[ Purifying the underground water source within a 15-kilometer radius, filtering layer by layer, forming a top-grade water quality that is rich in trace elements within a 1-kilometer radius. ]
[ Top-grade water quality effects — long-term drinking, strengthening the body; long-term bathing, skincare, and beauty; irrigating plants, beautiful and rich. ]
[ Note 1: The core needs to be purified before it can play its role ]
[ Note 2: The working time of each purification core can last one to three years, depending on the degree of pollution of the groundwater. ]
[ Note 3: The precipitation lakes above the ground are not included in the purification process. ]
[ Note 4: The water quality improves progressively. The water quality is the highest within a one-kilometer radius of the core. Fifteen kilometers away, the effect is dispensable. ]
[ Note 5: If you want to build a peach blossom land, you will also need a set of “Underground water vein grooming systems.” ]
It had been a long time since Young Master Wang had received such a complicated item. He was a little dazzled by it.
However, the more he looked at it, the happier he became.
He had to get it. He had to get it even if he had to sell his blood.
The most extensive use of the new product was to improve the quality of the plants. It was incredibly awesome, and this was only the weakest use.
Agriculture depended on the weather to make a living.
According to Young Master Wang’s layman thinking, there were only four main points —
Good soil, good water, good weather, and suitable varieties.
At most, there would be one more scientific planting?
Looking at the current situation, there was only one condition that could not be controlled for high-quality planting in the mountain villa. The rest of the conditions were already ready.
Giant earthworm living soil, core clean water, suitable varieties, and scientific planting methods could all be settled with money.
In this way, a great fortune could be expected.
It was no joke. When a farm is of top quality, no matter what it grew, it would have the foundation to provide the highest material enjoyment in the world.
Ordinary people might not be able to imagine how much money the rich could pay for food.
The simplest example — Romani Conti, a bottle of more than 100,000 dollars, was in short supply.
As for Master Wang’s manor, as long as he hired an excellent enough winemaker, he could brew a top-grade red wine that was no worse than Conti.
Fruits, vegetables, cows, sheep, chickens, and ducks. Ordinary ingredients were straightforward to make.
With top-grade water and soil, there was nothing to be lacking.
Eh, seafood was the only exception. The mountain could at most breed drought bastards…
And this was only the weakest effect of the water purifier.
Drinking to strengthen the body, bathing to beautify the skin, these two miraculous effects, how much was it worth?
As long as they could produce credible proof and sell the entire set of equipment to the top-tier rich people, 20 billion should be easy — dollars!
The wealthiest family basically had 100 billion in assets. Spending one-fifth of it in exchange for the health and longevity of their family members and their legacy, that’s not too much, right?
Of course, it was just an analogy. This thing was definitely a priceless treasure.
It could not be ruled out that some rich people were willing to fork out 20 billion to buy it, but Wang Yan would definitely not sell it — it could not be explained clearly.
Moreover, how could selling equipment be more comfortable than selling water in the future?
Evian was nothing!
Where did Salve come from?!
At present, the most shameless brand of mineral water in the world was Modigliani. The entire bottle of pure gold art was mixed with a few milligrams of gold powder and dare to sell 750 milliliters of water 60,000 US dollars.
Of course, not many people buy.
Gates only drinks Salve, the wholesale price of more than $70 a bottle, Trump privately drinks more Kona Salt Brine, priced at about $350.
Showing off to be rich in a crazy way is a minority, Modigliani sold less than 500 bottles in the whole year, and they all have been consumed on special occasions.
Therefore, Modigliani produced a non-pure gold version, only for more than $3,000 — still not selling well.
However, they earned a thousand times more profit from selling a bottle, so they are sitting firmly at the top of the shameless brand list.
It was their ability to collect IQ tax so no one could be envious.
In the future, he could also collect IQ…
Eh?!
Wait!
My water was really refreshing and magical. With one gulp, the waist was no longer sore, the legs didn’t hurt, climbing up to the sixth floor isn’t tiring anymore, you don’t pee frequently, and you don’t leak a single drop, so your wife is finally satisfied…
Therefore, this was not a luxury item that was more gimmicky than practical, but a miracle medicine that did not depend on advertisements and looked at its curative effects.
How could it be called an IQ tax?
Young Master Wang thought about it and decided not to sell the water.
Sorry, this manor does not sell primary products!
If you wanted to enjoy this manor’s specialties, please reserve a room. This manor only sells services.
When the manor designed by the system was built, the top-grade fruits and vegetables were planted, the wine was brewed, and the hot spring pool was dug out…
A sign can be hung up: the world’s number one holy place for healing. Who would dare to disagree?
Charging 200,000 to 300,000 dollars for a night’s accommodation was not expensive, right?
If it was too expensive, then don’t come. Many people will be willing to come.
At that time, Wang Yan might not even care about the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Wasn’t it just a matter of a day’s respite?
Of course, if a dozen or 20 guest rooms were full, that would be another matter.
In any case, with the water purification, young master Wang’s Villa Project could finally lay the foundation of the modern Peach Blossom Land.
A century-old business, the Wang family of Mentougou, are you domineering?
Don’t think about anything; take it down!
Wang Yan shouted to take it down, but he wasn’t in a hurry — he didn’t have the money either.
He hadn’t spent much money recently. The presidential suite, plane tickets, meals, and other miscellaneous expenses were less than a million. He had transferred 10 million development funds to his father, and his experience points had increased to 1,125/300,000.
Wages for breathing were around $1,180,000 a day. Adding in the remaining cash and the additional 3 million earned from the service card, his total savings was less than 14 million.
The difference was a little big.
The Level 10 System Mall refreshed once a month, and the water purifier could be saved until the end of the month.
There were still 30 days left this month, and in theory, it could be easily saved up.
However, the trouble was that the production team had already begun to prepare for filming, and in a little while, he needs to disburse the first sum of money, 10 million.
With this calculation, the gap was a little big.
The 20 million cash he saved in the People’s Livelihood could not be moved, and could only be used for repayment.
Imperial Entertainment’s settlement cycle was on the 15th of every month, and they would stay on it for a month. The money spent at the end of last month could only be received on January 15th of next year.
Money, money, where could he find a bit of cash?
Wang Yan carefully flipped through his inventory, trying to find a good perspective for another opportunity. In the end, his inventory was too tight, and he did not find an opportunity.
Alright, it was impossible to rely on his current inventory. Fortunately, there was still plenty of time.
One month, he would slowly think of a way. After all, the manor was not in a hurry.
After comforting himself, the young master went to sleep with satisfaction.
..
Perhaps he was stimulated by the bright future; Wang Yan woke up in the morning. He felt refreshed and excited. He opened the system and took a look…
Hey!
Another new notification popped up!
[ You had a good night’s sleep. You are in a good mood and full of energy. You have activated a new reward. ]
[ Strong sleep ]
[ Status halo ]
[ The quality of your sleep will be greatly improved because of the new halo. Four hours of sleep a day is enough to keep you full of energy for the whole day. ]
[ In addition, you can use an additional 30 minutes of rest to restore some aspect of your energy to its full state. ]
[ Note: You can only take a nap at most once a day. ]
[ The new halo will replace the previous Spring Breeze Status. ]
After reading the notification clearly, Wang Yan’s expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly opened the book, Movie Director Basics.
After scanning for about three minutes, the young master concluded and threw the book away gloomily.
F * ck!
His mental activity had weakened, and the intelligence boast had disappeared!
The Spring Breeze Halo didn’t seem to be of much use, but it significantly boosted Wang Yan’s charm and intelligence levels.
Now that it was replaced with a new halo, there were only 79 points left.
79 points. Intelligence at the peak of excellence was, of course, enough. Not only was it enough, but it was also even strong enough.
But after enjoying the amplification effect for so long, suddenly returning to its original state still made Wang Yan very depressed.
“F * ck, I suddenly feel like I’ve become retardly stupid…”
Fortunately, he was muttering to himself. If Liu Li, Ping Zhi, and the others heard him, they would be so angry that they would beat him up.
Do you know how monstrous your previous performance was?!
Please, be a human!
..
Wang “stupid” Yan had no idea what to do. Now, even if he didn’t want to be a human, he had to be a human.
“Alright, look on the bright side…”
At the very least, he was more energetic now, like even on the bed, right?
Thirty minutes of nap with the result of complete health and resurrection restoration. Bai Jie, Wang Yufei, can you two dance one more time for me to see?
Come, all of you cry and shout for your brother to be convinced!
Wang Yan suddenly felt a little restless.
The last time was exciting enough, but it was difficult to use the word “victorious return” to describe it. As a result, Wang Yan couldn’t get up in the mood to have sex again for a few days.
Bai Jie had been using explicit hints to urge Wang Yan to hit up with Chen Xi as soon as possible. She even vaguely showed that she was willing to help, but the Young Master was not interested.
Am I that type of person?!
If you guys flirt with me again, don’t blame me for falling out with you!
After comforting himself, the Young Master’s mood quickly improved.
The need to sleep only four hours was good enough to show off for an entire day.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have four extra hours to read, write a script, and makeup lessons?
Hard work can make up for lousy work, and I can still be a genius!
..
Wang Yan kept his word. He held the director’s textbook and spent the whole morning in the hotel.
In the afternoon, An Xiaofang asked for a meal again. Today, she wanted to introduce Wang Yan to Yaya, but the Young Master decisively refused.
Although Yaya was known as the most beautiful wife and even though she has married for many years, she was still the dream goddess of countless men, but Wang Yan could still keep his true heart.
When you are strong enough, the butterfly will come itself.
Right now, nothing was more important than filming “Witch” to the best.
As a rich young man who had never proven himself, a top actress could give you respect, but in the end, she would not pay too much attention to it.
They would chat for a while and get to know each other. Then, in the blink of an eye, he would be forgotten. Was it worth it to waste time on this kind of thing?
After filming the “Witch,” the Young Master would naturally become the center of attention and be remembered by others.
When that time came, there was no need for anyone to introduce him. Instead, they would get along even better.
Of course, the reason why Wang Yan worked so hard wasn’t that he wanted to get along with anyone. It was just because of his paranoia.
If I don’t do it, I don’t do it. If I do it, I have to do it to the best of my ability.
After getting the system, this kind of spirit motivated Wang Yan to keep moving forward. He didn’t indulge in pleasure and gradually became a Prince Charming.
Now is still not the time to relax.
After losing the Spring Breeze and Pride buff, he had to be more focused to make up for the loss of intelligence.
A good script was not enough. He had to seize the time to complete it.
As he worked hard, time flew by.
In the evening, he had dinner with Liu Li. They chatted like an old couple. Wang Yan casually asked about Lin Weiwei.
“What has Pingzhi been doing recently? I have been in the capital for half a week, but she’s the only one that I haven’t seen.”
Liu Li shook her head. It wasn’t that she didn’t know, but she wasn’t sure.
“I think she’s doing some business with her best friend? Anyway, everyone has been busy recently. I’m rehearsing, Shi Shi is in seclusion, and Wang Xue is performing outside. Since everyone doesn’t have time to get together, she might as well not come to school.”
Wang Yan was stunned. “Oh, she can still do business?”
“Why not? Sister Weiwei is the most suitable for business, okay? ! She’s not worse than Na Wu? !”
“Are you complimenting her? It sounds weird…”
Wang Yan’s head was full of black lines, and San Wan could not help but snicker.
“Sure, if there’s time, I’ll take care of Pingzhi and give her some advice!”
Wang Yan did not take it seriously, but Liu Li became more proactive.
“Okay, I’ll pay attention to the situation later. If she screws up, I’ll leave it to you to settle it!”
Where else could she screw up!
Lin Weiwei didn’t have much money on hand. Wang Yan estimated that her business could at most reach a million, and all the losses wouldn’t even be enough for him to breathe for a day.
Still, he didn’t take it seriously.
After eating, Liu Li went straight back to school — her relatives were visiting, and she hung up the “No-fight” card.
Wang Yan had just received a strong buff, but it was of no use.
In any case, he didn’t need to use it whether her relatives came or not. His strength was already strong, so she wasn’t a match for him.
He slept well the whole night and continued to grind the script the next day. Then, he took some time to check on Fu Yishi’s condition.
When he was about to go back to the hotel for lunch, Wang Muye called her.
“Young Master Wang, do you have time? I’ve read the script three times, and I have some foolish ideas. I’d like to ask for your advice…”
Wang Muye was exceptionally polite, and his attitude was very humble.
Wang Yan had already decided to use him, so he naturally wouldn’t refuse. He made an appointment and directly took the hotel’s concierge car.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they began to talk about the script. Wang Muye suddenly became more talkative.
He didn’t go as far as to talk endlessly, but he was not as quiet and reserved as the day before yesterday.
As they chatted, Wang Yan quickly realized the strength of this young director.
“… the suspense in the beginning was well set, but in the final part of the decryption, my personal opinion is that there might not be as restraint enough for the best results…”
Wang Muye’s words were highly tactful, but the meaning was obvious.
Moreover, a single word directly pierced Wang Yan’s heart.
Restraint!
The biggest problem in the original plot was that there was not enough restraint. There was too little space, and the audience was treated like idiots as everything was patiently explained.
Moreover, the explanation wasn’t clever. It was the kind of stupid nagging.
Wang Yan’s revised script was already trying to avoid this problem as much as possible, but it still couldn’t do its best.
For the past two days, Young Master Wang had been thinking about how to solve it.
“Your description is correct. Alright, there’s no need to investigate other targets anymore! Sign the contract tomorrow, and start grinding the script with me in the afternoon. Brother Wang, Happy Collaboration!”
Young Master Wang decisively extended his hand and used his address and boldness to express his most significant approval of Wang Muye.
Wang Muye was so surprised that he was stunned for a moment. His emotions were overflowed with words.
People who had never proven themselves always needed to be approved of.
Wang Yan was a crafty person. Even though he had already decided on the Assistant Director candidate earlier, he still wanted to play some tricks before confirming it.
However, Wang Muye was worth it.
He might not be the best, but he happened to be what Wang Yanyan needed the most.
The word “restraint” spoke the essence of the style of the action movie.
A good movie was starting to take shape.
