Chapter 455 The money invested in Mi Gaofeng was earned back in a matter of minutes
Nancy was too lazy to care about her daughter and son-in-law's affairs and had no control over them.

Anyway, the young couple didn't have any objections, so why could she have any?
Isn't it that her son and daughter have all gone out to play, and she is the only one at home with her son-in-law?

It would be so awkward if we don't find something to talk about.

After talking about the child's mother, the two chatted about the child for a while before Nancy went about her own business.

Wang Yuanchao stayed with the child for a while, and soon the little guy felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Bored Wang Yuanchao had to retreat to his study to select several hit songs for next year.

This is neither San Francisco nor Los Angeles, he doesn’t have any acquaintances here!

I first thought about the songs for SHE and the Norwegian group M2M, which are very good.

Wang Yuanchao chose "Pretty Boy".

This song was very popular all over the country back then and is a classic English song in the memories of many people born in the 80s.

Young girls should sing about young people’s love affairs, right?
As for the famous songs of Joker and Lady Gaga, he has almost finished all of them. There may be some gems left out, but the rest are either not to his taste and cannot occupy a place in his phone. Anyway, he finished Taylor Swift's "Love Story" last time, so he has to continue to finish Taylor Swift this time.

The Joker band is the golden thigh of Muse Music, and Wang Yuanchao is reluctant to give it up.

Wang Yuanchao decided to "create" for ten or eight years and then stop because he had too few English songs in his inventory.

So the title song for the Joker band is "Blank Space", a classic song that Taylor Swift wrote to refute the title of "scumbag harvester". It won the music charts in four regions including Australia, Canada, Scotland and Serbia, and was also the champion single of the US Billboard.

It fits in perfectly with the bohemian style of the Joker band.

Popularity is a cycle. The songs from decades ago are still very suitable for the current environment.

As for the Carpenters, Wang Yuanchao chose "Lemon Tree" for them.

Anyway, it is suitable for the relationship between Karen and Zipperton. It can be regarded as a reminder of the past. No matter whether they can succeed in the future, I have really helped Zipperton, right?
After transcribing the three works, Wang Yuanchao threw them back into the space, waiting for the right time to take them out.

After only two days in Sacramento, Patricia took Wang Yuanchao away, using the music festival as an excuse.

……

This year's Woodstock Music Festival made a little more than the previous one, reaching 2500 million US dollars!
The overall environment is not good, and more people rely on music and travel to relieve stress and escape reality, so the number of people attending music festivals has been steadily increasing, but per capita consumption has actually declined.

In other words, the prices of the adventure plan are not much more expensive than outside, and a large amount of supplies are booked in advance, so the cost is further reduced.

They also wanted to do it more often a year, but the big boss Wang Yuanchao wouldn't allow it.

Making so much money at one time, once a year, is worth looking forward to. If it happens every month, how can it have the same effect?
Over the past few years, it’s no longer the Adventure Project that’s looking for people to participate, but people from all walks of life are looking for the Adventure Project, wanting to participate in the music festival!
Woodstock is increasingly feeling like America's Super Bowl.

At least during these three days and three nights, almost all major TV stations had channels that broadcast the entire event live, and the ratings were very high.

If you don't show up at this music festival, people will think that you are not a good musician and are not presentable.

There are definitely people who don't believe in it and claim to be noble, but the numbers like concert revenue and new album sales don't lie.

So even if the singers themselves don’t want to, their managers and record companies will come to discuss cooperation with Adventure Project and Muse Music. Who would have thought that the music festival that was messed up by four guys would have such an influence today?

It’s not like major record companies haven’t held similar music festivals before. After all, the United States is so big that they can hold them somewhere else.

They also recruited a number of experienced staff from the Adventure Program.

They also invited many famous singers and bands.

But the Jokers, the Carpenters, and SHE will definitely not attend their competitors' shows.

Without these three top stars, people think that other music festivals are not authentic enough. There is no way around it. With the first-mover advantage, Woodstock has already set the benchmark.

Not to mention the lack of top stars, the prices at these music festivals are extremely high, and the on-site service facilities are not as good as those at Woodstock. The difference is obvious when compared.

Just like the various music festivals in China back then, they were all pretty good at the beginning, but then they all went downhill.

In particular, many fans do not have the ability to attend multiple music festivals a year, and all their money is saved for the Woodstock Festival.

However, this does not mean that these music festivals do not make money. Some of them make millions, tens of millions, or even tens of millions, but they are not as large and stable as Woodstock.

In a word, the popularity and influence of the festival are far less than that of Woodstock, so the only way is to differentiate and create niche music. In fact, if the Adventure Project did not have Wang Yuanchao, they would be the same as other music festivals. They have not yet thought of creating an IP, but Wang Yuanchao is doing it according to the strategy of creating an IP, but he just didn't say it clearly.

There is a huge difference between having a long-term development plan and not having a long-term development plan.

At the same time, in the football qualifiers in South Korea, with the help of a group of high-tech newcomers trained by Wang Yuanchao and his financial support, they made it all the way to the final round. The final round of the game was not held in South Korea, but at home and away.

They first defeated Malaysia 3:0 in the group stage, Israel 2:1 Japan, and South Vietnam 1:0 Thailand. As a result, Hong Kong, Japan and South Vietnam were in Group 1, while Thailand, Israel, Malaysia and South Korea were in Group 2. As the home team, South Korea had a slight advantage, as two of its group members were weak teams.

The results of the first group were: Japan 4:0 South Vietnam, Hong Kong 2:0 Japan, Hong Kong 4:0 South Vietnam.

Hong Kong had 2 wins, Japan had 1 win and 1 draw, and South Vietnam had 2 losses.

Hong Kong and Japan advanced to the semi-finals of Zone A.

The winners of the Zone B semi-finals are South Korea and Israel.

In the semi-finals, Hong Kong 3:1 South Korea, Israel 1:0 (overtime) Japan.

Hong Kong and Israel advanced to the Zone A finals.

In the end, Hong Kong narrowly defeated Israel 2:1 and advanced to the final round.

They are competing with Zone B champion Australia for the only qualifying spot in Asia.

[Historically, Hong Kong lost to South Korea 1:3 and was eliminated. In this article, Hong Kong replaced South Korea]

After the Hong Kong Brigade returned to Hong Kong, the whole of Hong Kong was very excited. Whether it was John's administration or the people of Hong Kong, they were all proud of the Hong Kong Brigade's unstoppable success!

After Wang Yuanchao received the news, he directly instructed his wife to cash the bonus immediately and divide the huge sum of money equally among the coaches and team members!
All of a sudden, all the football schools under Wang Yuanchao welcomed another wave of enrollment. Playing football really changes your destiny! How can you know if your child is suitable if you don’t try?

Even if it's not suitable, football school also allows students to learn cultural knowledge, so it's not a loss either way.

So I gritted my teeth and supported it.

In fact, Wang Yuanchao's school doesn't charge much fees at all. As long as the child performs well, whether it's in brains or football, the school will give reductions or even rewards. However, many citizens just won't take action until they see the rabbit.

With the help of this qualifying competition, Liu Qijin stood on the stage in an orderly manner.

In mid-September, "American Graffiti" was released, with a North American box office of 9 million!

Compared with the initial investment of 70, its ability to attract money is even more terrifying than "The Godfather 1".

Orange Pictures received 3100 million and Lucasfilm received 345 million. The German Universal Pictures had more rules than Paramount, charging a 20% distribution fee, but the funds have not been fully transferred in a short time, so it will take some time.

Wang Yuanchao didn't even need to cash in the gold. The money he earned from music festivals and movies was enough to acquire MGM.

MGM's shares were divided up among Muse Music, Orange Films, and a newly established shell company by Wang Yuanchao. Although the shareholders seemed diverse, in reality, Wang Yuanchao had the final say.

But he still sold part of the gold. In October, war was about to break out in the Middle East, a new oil crisis would occur, and oil prices would soar. He would definitely trade futures.

To this end, he established an investment company dedicated to operating this business.

He bought 3 million US dollars of oil futures, invested 5000 million, and added 5 times leverage.

If the war breaks out as expected and oil prices soar, he can probably make $8 million to $10 billion!
Why not buy more?
First of all, what if the butterfly flaps its wings too big and changes history?
Secondly, although he became a naturalized American citizen, he was still worried that the tree that stood out in the forest would be destroyed by the wind.

He is not white. Even though his investment company has multiple layers of cover and even hired his brother-in-law Michael as general manager, he has to keep a low profile on the hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. What if he can't get the money if he invests too much? His father-in-law is only the governor of California, not the president.

My brother-in-law Michael was adopted by my father-in-law and his ex-wife. He is divorced and has a pair of children with his second wife.

Michael has worked in many industries, and he easily agreed to his brother-in-law's call.

After all, the salary offered by my brother-in-law is very attractive, $25 a year! Who can resist this?
Besides, my brother-in-law is just investing in some financial business, so it’s perfect for him to represent him.

When he saw the amount of his brother-in-law's investment, he was shocked. He knew Patty's husband was rich, but he didn't expect him to be so rich! It was just a futures investment, which was 9 million plus times leverage! If there was a slight fluctuation, he had to replenish the margin quickly, otherwise the position would be closed in minutes.

Fortunately, the specific operations are carried out by the futures company, and he is just a mascot who signs and issues instructions.

Wang Yuanchao originally planned to invest 5000 million yuan, but after thinking about it, he decided to set aside an additional 2000 million yuan as a margin and increase the leverage so that at least he could earn some interest. In this way, 2000 million yuan would be more than enough to cope with this fluctuation.

After arranging all this, he rushed to Hong Kong, where the second round home match between Hong Kong and Australia would be held.

In the first round away game in Australia, the two sides ended in a 1:1 draw!
