Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate Chapter 384 : A Child in Others Eyes

Chapter 384: A Child in Others' Eyes

"How did you know F4 would definitely beco a huge hit?"

The sudden question from Guo Wendong made Chen Fan's heart skip a beat.

He didn't rush to answer, but smiled at the other person.

"What are you saying? How could I possibly know they would definitely beco popular?"

Guo Wendong shook his head, "No, I rember very clearly at the ti. You had sign a total of 4 people: Sun Yanzhi, Liu Ruoying, Power Station, and Richie Jen."

"Because they were all hot big stars at the ti. To be safe, you added three groups of inconspicuous small stars."

"F4, S.H.E, and Jay Chou."

"And I also rember what you told at the ti. You said it didn't matter if we couldn't sign the big stars, but we must succeed at all costs with the latter ones, we must sign them no matter what."

Guo Wendong's eyes fixed on Chen Fan, flashing with a shrewd light.

"Two years ago, these three hadn't blown up yet, they only had fans in a small circle in Taiwan. Yet you specifically nad them to be signed. Naturally, you must have had so confidence."

As the person who signed the endorsent contracts at the ti, no one understood the situation better than Guo Wendong, not even Ding Dian lying on the hospital bed beside them.

So it probably wouldn't be easy for Chen Fan to casually brush it off.

Even Ding Dian looked over curiously after hearing Guo Wendong's words.

Chen Fan was silent for two seconds, then chuckled.

"You're overthinking it. Actually, I said sothing else to you at the ti, I don't know if you rember."

"At the ti, I mainly wanted to sign those big stars in the front, but then I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle those four big stars, so I decided to cast a wide net, right?"

Guo Wendong nodded, he had an impression of this.

Chen Fan smiled and explained: "The reason I ntioned F4, S.H.E and Jay Chou was purely because you were in Taiwan at the ti. To make it convenient for you to operate, I picked a few Taiwan artists."

"To be honest, I didn't know much about them at the ti. I had just occasionally heard people talking about them on BBS, saying they had the potential to beco big hits."

"As for them suddenly becoming so popular later, that was quite surprising to too."

Guo Wendong looked at Chen Fan half-believingly, sowhat skeptical.

But Chen Fan had such a sincere expression, and besides this explanation, there didn't seem to be any other reason.

This guy wasn't a prophet who could predict future events.

"But speaking of which, you made a big profit by signing these three."

"These three newcors have all blown up now, their endorsent fees have multiplied several tis. By making your move early, you've saved at least 500,000 yuan in one go."

Chen Fan smiled modestly.

"Luck, it was purely luck."

Ding Dian listened with a confused expression.

"What are you two muttering about?"

Chen Fan glanced at her, "Just eat your food properly. Why do you want to join in every topic?"

"Hmph."

Ding Dian snorted coldly and lowered her head to eat.

Guo Wendong watched this scene curiously, then looked at Chen Fan.

"But there's one more thing I don't understand."

"Besides F4, you also have contracts with S.H.E and Jay Chou,"

At this point, Guo Wendong deliberately lowered his voice so only the two of them could hear.

This wasn't intentionally to keep it from Ding Dian, but because Guo Wendong didn't know if Ding Dian knew about this matter, and it was Chen Fan's private business, so he had no right to spread it on Chen Fan's behalf.

Just this small gesture made Chen Fan look at Guo Wendong with new respect.

This man was shrewd and intelligent, quick-witted, good at observing people's words and expressions, and skilled at thinking and drawing inferences.

Guo Wendong said in a low voice: "I rember at the ti Richie Jen signed for one year, the remaining three F4 signed for two years, S.H.E signed for three years, and Jay Chou signed for three years."

"But from the mont the endorsent contracts were signed, why have I never seen you promote S.H.E and Jay Chou's endorsents?"

"You should know their contracts are about to expire soon too. Isn't that a waste?"

Chen Fan smiled and explained: "The situation is very complicated. You might not know since you're not in Yunhai, but my club had so problems for a while and I sold it."

"With no club left, what use did I have for endorsent contracts?"

Guo Wendong stared hard at Chen Fan and shook his head.

"You're not telling the truth."

Chen Fan laughed. Because he had a good impression of Guo Wendong, and the endorsent contracts at the ti were settled with his help. They had cooperated well.

Chen Fan decided to say a bit more.

"Alright. Let's keep this between us."

Guo Wendong nodded to show he understood.

Chen Fan then lowered his voice and said: "Besides the reasons I just ntioned, another is that good steel should be used on the blade's edge."

"When we signed them, they weren't very famous yet. So I was gambling... gambling that they would definitely beco huge hits within one to two years..."

"Once they blew up during the endorsent contract period, I could then bring out the contracts and promote them a bit... That way the endorsents I bought would achieve the maximum cost-effectiveness..."

After listening, Guo Wendong stared at Chen Fan with wide eyes, a look of astonishnt on his face.

"I get it. You... you deliberately held onto S.H.E and Jay Chou's contracts for two years without promoting them, just waiting for them to blow up this year..."

"No, I just learned that your new club is about to open. You... damn!"

Guo Wendong had guessed Chen Fan's plan.

He gave Chen Fan a thumbs up, genuinely impressed.

"I, Guo Wendong, rarely admire others in my life. You're one of them."

"Holding onto celebrity endorsents bought at a high price without promoting them, just to gamble on them becoming more and more popular... This, this kind of thing, I've never heard of before."

"An ordinary person probably wouldn't have this kind of courage, and those who do are usually business tycoons who have weathered great storms."

"I didn't expect soone as young as you could reach this level..."

Guo Wendong shook his head in admiration.

"Now I sowhat understand how you were able to create such a large business in just two short years."

"I'm not as good as you..."

Chen Fan looked at this guy expressing such sentints in astonishnt.

"You're exaggerating..."

But Guo Wendong looked at Ding Dian on the bed with deep emotion.

"Now I sowhat understand why soone as proud as you would choose to join his club."

Ding Dian rolled her eyes rcilessly.

"You don't understand shit!"

Guo Wendong didn't seem to mind Ding Dian's coldness at all.

Chen Fan watched with amazent.

He rembered Ding Dian saying before that Guo Wendong had once pursued her, but was rejected.

Could it be this guy had a bit of an M tendency?

Chen Fan spent the whole afternoon in the hospital, mostly chatting with Guo Wendong. Ding Dian would occasionally interject with jokes, but the two n didn't really pay attention to her.

Through their conversation, Chen Fan discovered that this Guo Wendong was really quite talented.

He was a top student who won scholarships in school, and even received a national scholarship.

It could be said without exaggeration that he was the child other parents talked about.

After graduation, he interned at a Fortune 500 company.

But after working there for a while, he felt bored and voluntarily resigned, embarking on a journey to see the world.

In these two years, he had been to over a dozen countries in Europe, to the Aricas, Southeast Asia, tropical rainforests, great deserts, islands... He had left his travel footprints in all these places.

Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.

This guy was stronger than himself.

"By the way. I still don't know what major you studied in university?"

Guo Wendong casually replied: "Business Managent and Operations."

Chen Fan's eyelids twitched slightly.
