Chapter 17: Buying real estate and Spiderman
The filming is finished.
The next job is naturally post-editing, scoring, scoring and so on.
Although Wald Pictures is very small and doesn't have much presence in Hollywood, it still has its own editing studio, with Zhuke who is open to launch in person, and there are experienced post-production staff, so the post-production work can be described as extremely fast.
Only a week later, the film was completed, only waiting for a release date. The speed is much faster than that of Hollywood movies in the same period.
The life of hanging out, no need to explain!
As for the "movie genius Zhu Ke" among the population, let it pass away with the wind.
Although cheating is cool, it is risky.
"Oh shit, it's finally finished, I will go into battle since I said nothing, I would rather spend money to find someone else."
can make Zhuke, a vampire, say the word "spend money", which shows that the director's work is not easy. "Lola Run" is the first film that Zhuke completed as a director, and it is very likely to be the last film directed by himself.
"I, Zhu, should still be a beautiful man quietly!"
Zhu Ke, who was dreaming about a better life in the future, was suddenly awakened by a phone call.
Ding Ding Ding~~~
"Hello Mr. Wald, this is Lawyer Zhang Wei Zhang." There was a loud noise on the phone.
"Uh......"
Hearing this, Zhu Ke was taken aback first, and it took a few seconds for him to realize who Zhang Wei was?
Isn't he just the tax avoidance lawyer he's looking for?
Zhuke asked: "Attorney Zhang, this is Zhuke Wald. Are you looking for me about the tax avoidance plan?"
"Yes, we have designed your tax avoidance plan. At the same time, the "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Teletubbies" you have applied for have been registered with the Copyright Bureau. If you are free, I can come to serve you now. "Zhang Wei said on the phone.
"Okay, I'm free now, then we'll see you later."
Zhuke hung up the phone, and immediately called ‘yes’ repeatedly, and jumped up and constantly waved his fists in the air.
can you be upset?
That's "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Teletubbies"! In the children's field, the extremely influential dramas, especially the surrounding fields, are very crazy!
Two gold mines are in hand, how can Zhu Ke remain calm?
It’s not an exaggeration to say: As long as these two episodes are filmed and successfully released, Zhuke will be able to eat and die in the future. By 2020, he can easily have billions of dollars in net worth.
soon.
Half an hour later, lawyer Zhang Wei Zhang came to the door.
"Mr. Wald, today is March 16, 1996, and there are less than 45 days left before the final tax payment day. We must hurry up."
Zhang Wei is an elite lawyer, and his meticulous work makes Zhu Ke extremely appreciate.
"Attorney Zhang, don't worry, I will cooperate fully."
Zhu Ke attaches great importance to reasonable tax avoidance. The lawyer's fees and service fees that should be spent, Zhu Ke will not be less, it is spent a lot of money. Even if Zhuke is stingy, he knows that this commission cannot be saved, otherwise problems may arise.
In the following time, Zhang Wei Zhang explained the tax avoidance instructions to Zhu Ke in detail.
Zhu Ke still has a clearer understanding of these. After all, he did logistics in his previous life, and he was quite sensitive to taxation.
Understanding, returning to understanding, but after listening to Zhang Wei's words, Zhu Ke still couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
"Damn the American tax agency, if I didn't do reasonable tax avoidance, I would have to pay more than 5 million U.S. dollars in taxes." Zhu Ke cursed.
"Mr. Wald, don’t get angry. If you didn’t buy Wald Pictures, it is estimated that you would have to pay nearly 500,000 U.S. dollars in taxes. After all, you have to know that most of your net worth comes from the stock market. "Zhang Wei said slowly.
Zuke nodded.
My family understands his family's affairs. Of Zhu Ke's current net worth of nearly 30 million U.S. dollars, 75% comes from the stock market. The tax amount is indeed terrifying.
"Then what should I do now to reasonably avoid tax?"
Zhuke hurriedly asked.
The United States is very strict in reviewing taxation. When it comes to tax avoidance, some people definitely think it is not illegal?
In fact, there is a popular saying in the United States: "Pay taxes according to the law and avoid tax legally."
Therefore, legal tax avoidance is allowed in the United States.
"Generally speaking, reasonable tax avoidance methods mainly include setting up accounts overseas, making good use of tax exemptions, setting up trust funds and family charitable funds, etc. However, considering your personal situation, Mr. Wald, and the relationship between time, I The tax avoidance method chosen for you is mainly investment and consumption. Reduce your current funds as much as possible to reduce the book funds and achieve the purpose of reasonable tax avoidance." Zhang Wei introduced.
In the following time.
Well, for up to an hour, Zhang Wei explained in detail how to avoid taxes reasonably.
......
the next day.
Zhu Ke, who woke up early in the morning, contacted a real estate agency and planned to buy a property in the Burbank area.
is used as tax avoidance and investment;
also lived a little closer to the film company.
Although the Burbank area is also part of the city of Los Angeles, it is 20 kilometers away from the city, and it is mainly a gathering place for many Hollywood entertainment companies. That's right, Hollywood, which is famous all over the world, has realized that there are not many film companies at all, and they are all in Burbank.
(This is a fact, of the six major Hollywood companies, currently only the Paramount family is in Hollywood ~ County, and the others have long moved to Burbank.)
Zuke’s Wald Pictures is also located in the Burbank area. Out of company distance and tax avoidance considerations, Zhu Ke bought a villa in Burbank.
That's right, it's a villa.
A two-story large villa, plus a basement, has a building area of 320 square meters, and a 400-square-meter yard with lawn, swimming pool and other facilities during the period.
A total of 4.6 million US dollars was spent.
Of course, Zhuke took bank loans. After all, Zhuke is a traveler, knowing that the US dollar will depreciate more and more in the future.
"Since you have bought a villa, you can also buy a building for investment."
Buying a property for investment is a very risky thing in the United States. If you choose a bad location, you might be rotten in your hands, but if you choose a good location, it is definitely a lucrative business.
Just so, Zhu Ke determined that there was a place where he would definitely make a profit by buying a house.
Silicon Valley!
That’s right, with the rapid development of the Internet, Silicon Valley has created one wealth myth after another. Before the Internet bubble in 2000, Silicon Valley’s land and real estate were becoming more and more valuable!
And, now in Silicon Valley, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is really not very expensive, at least much cheaper than Los Angeles and Burbank.
For US$6 million, Zhu Ke harvested an eight-story office building on the edge of Silicon Valley. Coincidentally, it's not far from Apple's headquarters, and you can see it when you look up.
(The Apple headquarters here refers to the old Silicon Valley site. After all, many people know that the current Apple headquarters is in Cupertino, California.)
"This building will be called the Wald Building from now on!"
"Hahaha, I'm so talented!"
For a while, Zhuke was very happy.
"Ding Dong!"
[Congratulations to the host for a piece of future information. 】
Zhuke was stunned in an instant, the garbage system was silent for more than two months, and finally the welfare was released again, and it was turned on immediately.
[News: In June 1996, MGM Films and Sony Columbia will compete for the film and television rights of Marvel's Spider-Man. 】
Fuck!
Spider-Man!
"Spider-Man 1/2/3", including "The Amazing Spider-Man", and even the restarted Spider-Man, are box office bombs, and they are even more explosive in the DVD and game markets, as well as in the surrounding authorized markets. A market of tens of billions of dollars.
The Sony Columbia in the previous life relied on it to survive
"Spider-Man 1" has reached a cumulative total of US$930 million at the box office, and its games and peripheral markets have brought Colombia more than US$1 billion in profits in just one year, so Zhu Ke is not excited.
If it weren't for the system reminder, Zhu Ke, who has been busy with his feet on the floor recently, would definitely not be able to blend in.
"" Sorry, today is a little later for the second time, it is really too busy today, sorry everyone.
