Chapter 453: Who Exactly Is This Mysterious Boss?
The fan and music lovers' gathering was extremely successful.
The next day, not only was it on the front pages of media outlets across Yunhai, but it also made national entertainment headlines.
This made many people take notice of the unconventional Medal Club.
Online, people were curious about how a small club managed to invite two big stars like Jay Chou and S.H.E at the same time.
So someone shared information about the club on Tianya, the largest online community at the time.
First was Medal Club's predecessor. Even back then, the boss took an unconventional approach by directly acquiring a nearly bankrupt old amusement park.
It was then transformed into a club, and a very trendy one at that. From the start, it promoted real-life offline CS games, which were still rare in China, and later even added a haunted house experience.
On the club's opening day, they invited celebrities for endorsements, including Richie Jen and the then-wildly popular F4.
Most importantly, F4 were still unknown newcomers in the entertainment industry at that time.
As a result, in the month the club opened, 《Meteor Garden》 suddenly became a nationwide hit, causing the club's business to skyrocket to full capacity.
This informative post immediately sparked interest from many people.
Someone asked why, if the club's business was so good, they suddenly reopened in a new location.
A local Yunhai netizen provided an explanation.
Claiming to know some inside information, they said the club's boss had offended someone because the business was too good and caught someone's attention.
At that time, people would go to the club every day to cause trouble, which continued for many days.
The other party was someone he didn't dare to mess with, a very powerful family in Yunhai.
The club's boss had no choice but to tearfully sell the club to them.
Then the most amazing twist suddenly came.
After the club was sold, Yunhai City suddenly issued a project notice for the demolition and renovation of the old city area in the west.
The boss's club happened to be within the demolition area.
Not only did the club's boss not lose anything, but he also unexpectedly gained several hundred million yuan in demolition compensation.
As for the family that forcibly bought the club from him, after investing considerable funds and manpower, the club hadn't even reopened before it was shut down again awaiting demolition.
A typical case of losing both the wife and the troops!
"Holy crap!"
"Awesome!"
The netizens who read this couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
This boss was truly incredible.
And his luck was simply out of this world.
First, he spent the least amount of money to get F4 for endorsement, then F4 exploded in popularity, making the club's reputation soar.
Then the club was forcibly acquired. But it encountered demolition.
Not only did he not lose anything, but he also pocketed a purchase fee, and most importantly, earned several hundred million yuan in demolition compensation.
In just over two years, he earned what others couldn't earn in a lifetime.
Damn.
What kind of luck was this?
This wasn't just about having ancestors' graves emitting green smoke, it was like building the ancestral grave directly on a volcano crater.
Just as all the netizens were lamenting why they didn't have such luck, someone posted another entertainment news that had just come out today.
It reported that media journalists had interviewed Jay Chou and S.H.E, asking why they would endorse a small club.
Weren't they afraid of lowering their status and giving free traffic to the other party?
The answers from the two stars were surprisingly consistent.
Because they had a karmic connection with this club.
Three years ago, people from the club approached them, wanting to invite them for endorsements.
At that time, they were newcomers in the entertainment industry and didn't take it seriously. The fact that someone was willing to pay real money to invite them for endorsements was itself a very auspicious sign.
It showed that the boss saw potential in their future.
As a return gesture, going to Yunhai to hold a thank-you event was the least they could do.
When this news came out, the comments below fell into an unusual silence.
Then it was followed by a flood of surprising "holy crap" exclamations.
Three years ago?
Wasn't that 2000?
Jay Chou and S.H.E had just debuted then.
Then many people realized something else.
Wait, wasn't the predecessor of Medal Club opened in 2000?
Who were the endorsers back then? Richie Jen and F4.
Holy crap!
The netizens who realized this couldn't help but exclaim.
This means that the club's boss signed four celebrity endorsements at once.
Apart from Richie Jen who was already hugely popular at the time, the other three were all newcomers.
Most importantly, in just three short years, all three newcomers he chose became hot in the entertainment industry.
Damn.
What exactly did this boss do?
Why bother being a boss anymore?
He should just become a talent scout.
Whichever star he picked would become popular.
Soon, this post was pushed to the front page hot topics by the flocking netizens.
More and more netizens saw this gossip.
After reading it, many people's first thought was:
This boss is amazing!
Definitely not an ordinary person.
Just based on his development over these two years, it absolutely couldn't be explained by simple luck.
It also showed that he had foresight.
He started planning three years ago.
Most importantly, this boss was very patient. He signed Jay Chou and S.H.E for endorsements three years ago, but held onto it for two years.
He only brought it out for publicity in the last year of the endorsement contract, when both parties had become popular, directly maximizing the benefits.
This technique was truly incredible.
Especially for some netizens who were also in business, their hearts couldn't help but stir with excitement.
Just based on this point alone, this boss's future achievements would definitely not be low.
Unbelievable luck plus a calm mindset and super strong insight and ability.
This... this was set to take off.
At this point, more and more people became interested in the behind-the-scenes boss of Medal Club.
Business people wanted to meet him, saying they might be able to collaborate.
A large number of media reporters also wanted to interview him, to give people a detailed introduction to this mysterious entrepreneur.
The funniest thing was that a bunch of third and fourth-tier small celebrities in the entertainment industry also wanted to meet Chen Fan.
After all, all the stars he signed for endorsements became popular.
The entertainment industry is a place that's very superstitious.
Who knows, maybe after being signed by him for endorsements, they could ride the wave to popularity too.
While it was bustling online, Chen Fan was completely unaffected in reality.
Every day he stayed at school, accompanying his girlfriend Su Ruochu to classes, going to the library, and occasionally when he felt like it, he would make some soup and bring it to his girlfriend.
In Ma Xiaoshuai and others' eyes, Old Chen was practically raising his girlfriend like a daughter.
But Chen Fan remained indifferent and enjoyed it.
In late October, Liang Shichu told Chen Fan some good news.
The company on the floor above where Feifan Technology was located had gone bankrupt, and the entire floor was completely empty.
Liang Shichu didn't hesitate and quickly rented out the entire floor, so Feifan Technology now had connected office spaces on two floors.
There was no need to specially find a new office building anymore.
Chen Fan heard this and highly praised Liang Shichu for this smart and decisive decision.
Next, they could take advantage of the fact that the graduation season for various universities had just passed not long ago, and prepare to start expanding recruitment.
Just as Liang Shichu finished discussing this, Guo Wendong, who hadn't shown up for many days, found Chen Fan and told him that he had found a suitable office building.
However, regarding the price, he couldn't make the decision himself and could only let Chen Fan personally handle it.
Chen Fan knew he couldn't avoid it this time, so he had to agree to meet with the other party and set a meeting place.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan looked at Su Ruochu, who was concentrating on reading beside him.
"Want to go out for a walk with me, take a break?"
