America's Road to Fame

Chapter 118 Windfall
When the car was parked at the pier, William Chen and Ivanta got out of the car, and they couldn't help being amazed when they saw the huge monster in front of them.

In front of William Chen is the largest yacht in the world, the Eclipse.

The yacht is about 162 meters long. It has 2 swimming pools, 24 cabins and even a missile defense system. It was bought by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich for 3 million pounds.

The reason why he and Ivanta came here is because of Wendi Deng's invitation. There will be a party here tonight. The host is Abramovich's wife Dasha Zhukova. This Russian socialite is also related to Wendi Deng. One of the best girlfriends.

To be honest, after entering the yacht and seeing the luxurious decoration and complete supporting facilities inside, it is definitely impossible for William Chen to say that he is not envious.

Although his current wealth is enough to buy such a yacht, it is not enough to spend hundreds of millions of dollars for a plaything.

If you think that every dollar he spends now will become ten dollars or even dozens of dollars after the subprime mortgage crisis, then let alone let him spend 3 million pounds now, maybe 3000 million dollars would be a bit hesitant.

Moreover, although his assets now exceed 30 billion US dollars, almost all of his funds are placed in the capital market, and there are really not many available at hand. It can be said that he has been a little stretched recently.

The Eclipse has nine floors in total, and the party this time was held in the bar on the eighth floor. In addition, there was a swimming pool on the eighth floor, where many people gathered. Guests can change into various clothes provided by the organizer Swimwear, to feel the atmosphere of the swimming pool in this yacht.

Deng Wendi introduced the organizer of the party to William Chen and Ivanta, Abramovich's wife Dasha Zhukova.

Before marrying Abramovich, she was already a world-renowned Russian socialite. Her father was an oil and arms tycoon, and her mother was a molecular biologist.

Dasha came to the United States with her divorced mother when she was ten years old, so she is very proficient in English. Today she is wearing a red dress, looking dignified and elegant.

Here, Chen William also saw a few acquaintances, including the South Korean actress Quan Zhixian whom he just met before, and Li Bingbing from Huayi Company. After the two of them greeted Chen William and the others, they sat together and chatted get up.

"William, I heard from Ivanta that you launched a private equity fund?"

Unexpectedly, Deng Wendi asked this matter first, and she seemed very interested.

After Ivanta and Paris learned about Chen William's No. 3 fund, they each invested 500 million US dollars in this private equity fund, which made Chen William even wonder if they had a private relationship discussed.

Uh, if there is no discussion, this is a tacit understanding, true sisters!
After Wendi Deng asked this question, several other women also looked at him curiously. William Chen gave a general account of the situation of the No. 3 Fund. Unexpectedly, Wendi Deng was willing to take out 500 million U.S. dollars was invested in Fund No. 3, and she said that she would go to the Trump headquarters building to sign the contract tomorrow.

Dasha is even more embarrassing. After thinking about it, she said that she can take out 2000 million US dollars to test the water...

William Chen did not expect that his No. 3 fund would have assets of 2 million US dollars in a single trip and gain such a reward.

For these, Chen William is of course the more the better, no matter what, he can make money for himself, and he can also make good friends with these people and have a relationship of interest.

There are still a lot of topics for everyone to talk about, and there are many designers in the fashion circle who participated in the party this time, like one of them, a Chinese-American female designer named Christina Tang, who founded it with Dasha. a fashion brand.

The original intention of Dasha to create this brand was simply because she often couldn't buy the styles she wanted, so she simply created a brand with a designer she admired to make clothes she liked, but Dasha's ability is indeed good , The fashion sales of this brand are surprisingly good.

And another identity of Dasha is the editor-in-chief of the British fashion magazine "POP". This magazine was almost closed due to losses.

According to recent statistics, "POP" magazine has a circulation of more than 8 per issue, returning to the top 10 fashion magazines most popular with British women.

William Chen is also not interested in these fashion topics. Seeing Ivanta chatting enthusiastically with them, he got up and began to visit this luxury yacht. Wouldn't it be nice to drive out to sea for a party or something, and invite a group of hot models and stars.

Of course, there is no need to make it so big, and he has no interest in grabbing the title of number one in the world.

When I was thinking about the star, I heard the not-so-fluent English coming from his side:
"Mr. William, are you also interested in yachts?"

It turned out that Quan Zhixian came to him at some point and took the initiative to speak to William Chen. Her English could still be heard with a Korean accent.

"It's okay, who wouldn't be tempted to see such a luxurious yacht?"

"These are the toys of your rich people. If we want to move our hearts, we just want to move our hearts."

Listening to Quan Zhixian's soft words, coupled with the shy expression on her face, there is still a big contrast between this scene and the image of the savage girlfriend in the movie Chen William watched in his previous life.

Chen Weilian couldn't help but wonder, could it be that [Aphrodisiac Pickle]... Uh, no, is it the effect of [Charm Pickle] that is so strong?The doubling effect on women of Korean descent seems to be very powerful, or is it because I am already too attractive?
It seems that I need to reflect on why I am so attractive, oh, forget it, I have run out of reflection coupons today.

"As a well-known big star, Gianna, your income should not be low. Even if it is such a luxury yacht that is rare in the world, we can't reach it, but ordinary yachts should be no problem."

The two stood by the railing outside, and Quan Zhixian's hair danced with the wet and salty sea breeze.

She gave a wry smile and said, "For us celebrities, although the income is relatively high in the eyes of ordinary people, the expenses are also high. So it still takes a lot of hard work. If you just make movies and TV series, the income can only It’s not bad, but if you want to earn more, then you need to accept more endorsements.”

"But that's something that can't be helped. After all, I've been in this circle for a long time and I'm used to the current job. If I want to change jobs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to adapt. In fact, I admire you very much, William, I I heard from Wendi that you were an actor before, but now you are very good at investing, if only I had one-tenth of your ability."

I love to hear your words, you speak so nicely, you can say more, I can overcome your stick accent...

Although thinking so in his heart, William Chen said to Quan Zhixian:
"In this case, I should actually envy you, Gianna, you see that you are so successful as an actor and your acting skills are so good, while I..."

William Chen shrugged with a smile:

"It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, it's full of criticism."

His words made Quan Zhixian laugh for a while, as if thinking of something, Quan Zhixian said:
"By the way, William, just now I heard you talking about your private equity fund. I wonder if I can participate in the investment?"

"Of course, but Gianna, are you so assured of me? Are you not afraid that I will lose your money?"

Seeing Quan Zhixian's serious and cute face, Chen Weilian couldn't help teasing her.

"Since both Wendi and Ms. Zhu Kewa believe in your investment ability so much and offered you money to invest, why should I worry?"

"In this case, don't worry, Gianna, with your trust, I will try my best to earn more dowry for you."

Hearing Chen William's mention of the word dowry, Quan Zhixian didn't know what to think of, her face became more and more rosy, she glanced at Chen William coquettishly, and immediately made him feel that the woman in front of her was very charming.

"Hmph, if I lose all my money, I'll have to depend on you."
