Chapter 17 Buying a Property and Spider-Man
The filming is finished.
The next work is naturally post-editing, soundtrack, soundtrack and other work.
Although Wald Pictures is very small and does not have much presence in Hollywood, it still has its own editing studio, with cheating Zhuke himself on the horse and senior post-production staff, so the post-production work can be said to be extremely rapid.
Just one week later, the film was completed and the release date was scheduled. The speed was far faster than that of the same period in Hollywood.
A life of cheating is not required!
As for the "movie genius Zhuke" mentioned by everyone, let it pass by with the wind.
Cheating is very good, but it is risky.
"Oh my god, it's finally done. From now on, I will not ask myself to go to the battlefield without asking for anything. I would rather spend money to find someone else."
The fact that the vampire, Zhuke, can be said the word "spend money" shows that the director's work is not easy. "Run Lola" is the first movie that Zhuke completed as a director, and it is also likely that it is the last movie directed by himself.
"I, Mr. Zhu, should I be a handsome man quietly!"
Zhu Ke, who was fantasizing about a better life in the future, was suddenly awakened by a phone call.
Dingding ding ~~~
"Hello, Mr. Wald, I am Lawyer Zhang Wei and Zhang." A sound came from the phone.
"Well......"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke was stunned at first. It took a few seconds before he realized who Zhang Wei was?
Isn’t he just a tax avoidance lawyer he found himself?
Zhuke asked: "Lawyer Zhang, I'm Zhuke Wald. Are you looking for me about tax avoidance plans?"
"Yes, we have designed your tax avoidance plan. At the same time, the "SpongeBob SquarePants" you applied for has been registered with the copyright office. If you have time, I can come to serve you now." Zhang Wei said on the phone.
"Okay, okay, I have time now, so we'll see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Ke immediately called 'yes' and jumped up and kept waving his fists in the air.
Can you be unhappy?
That’s "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Aerial Baby"! In the children’s field, the dramas that are extremely influential, especially the surrounding fields, are even more crazy!
How can Zhuke remain calm after two gold mines are obtained?
It is no exaggeration to say: as long as these two dramas are filmed and released successfully, Zhu Ke can completely survive and die, and by 2020, he can easily have a net worth of billions of dollars.
soon.
Half an hour later, lawyer Zhang Wei and Zhang came to the door.
"Mr. Wald, today is March 16, 1996. There are less than 45 days left before the tax payment date, so we must hurry up."
Zhang Wei is an elite lawyer who is meticulous in his work, which makes Zhu Ke extremely appreciated.
"Don't worry, Lawyer Zhang, I will cooperate with you with all my strength."
Zhuke attaches great importance to reasonable tax avoidance. Zhuke will not be able to spend a penny at the lawyer's fees and service fees, but he spent a lot of money. Even if Zhuke is stingy, he knows that this commission cannot be saved, otherwise he may have problems.
In the following time, lawyer Zhang Wei and Zhang explained the tax avoidance instructions to Zhu Ke in detail.
Zhu Ke still has a clear understanding of these. After all, he worked in logistics in his previous life and was quite sensitive to taxation.
Even though he understood, Zhu Ke couldn't help but be shocked after listening to Zhang Wei's words.
"Damn American tax agency, if I don't do a reasonable tax avoidance, I will actually pay more than 5 million US dollars in taxes." Zhu Ke scolded.
"Mr. Wald, don't get angry. If you haven't acquired Wald Pictures, you probably have to pay nearly $500,000 in extra taxes. After all, you have to know that most of your wealth comes from the stock market." Zhang Wei said slowly.
Zucker nodded.
My family knows about my family. Zhuke's current net worth of nearly $30 million is 75% from the stock market, so the tax amount is indeed terrifying.
"Then what should I do now to avoid taxes reasonably?"
Zhuke asked hurriedly.
In the United States, where tax evasion is very strict, when it comes to tax avoidance, do people definitely think this is not illegal?
In fact, there is a saying that is very popular in the United States, that is: "Pay taxes according to law and avoid taxes legally."
Therefore, legal tax avoidance is allowed in the United States.
"Generally speaking, the main ways to avoid taxes are to establish an account overseas, make good use of gift tax exemptions, establish trust funds and family charity funds, etc. However, considering Mr. Wald's personal situation and time relationship, the tax avoidance method I chose for you is mainly investment and consumption. Reduce the working capital in your hands as much as possible to reduce the book funds to achieve the purpose of reasonable tax avoidance." Zhang Wei introduced.
In the following time.
Well, it took an hour to go, Zhang Wei explained in detail how to reasonably avoid taxes.
......
the next day.
Zhuke, who woke up early in the morning, contacted a real estate agency and planned to buy a property in the Burbank area.
First, it is used as tax avoidance and investment;
Secondly, I live a little closer to the film company.
Although the Burbank area is also affiliated with 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 few film companies now exist, all in Burbank.
(This is a fact. Currently, only Paramount is in Hollywood. The others have moved to Burbank long ago.)
Zhuke's Wald Pictures, also located in the Burbank area. Due to corporate distance and tax avoidance considerations, Zhuke bought a villa in Burbank.
That's right, it's a villa.
A two-story villa with a basement floor, a building area of 320 square meters, and a 400 square meters yard, with a lawn, swimming pool and other facilities during the period.
A total of $4.6 million was spent.
Of course, Zhuke took bank loans. After all, Zhuke was a time traveler and knew that the US dollar would depreciate more and more in the future.
"Since I have bought a villa, I can also buy a building and invest in it."
Buying a property to invest in the United States is a very risky thing. If you choose a location that is not good, it may be ruined. But if you choose a location that is good, it will definitely be a profitable deal.
Just so happened that Zhuke was sure there was a place where buying a house would definitely make a profit.
Silicon Valley!
That’s right, with the vigorous 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!
Moreover, Silicon Valley is not very expensive now, at least it is much cheaper than Los Angeles and Burbank.
After paying $6 million, Zucker harvested an eight-story office building on the edge of Silicon Valley. Coincidentally, he was not far from Apple's headquarters and could see it when he looked up.
(The Apple headquarters here refers to the former Silicon Valley site. After all, many people know that the current Apple headquarters is in Cupertino, California.)
"This building will be called Wald Building from now on!"
"Hahaha, I'm so talented!"
For a moment, Zhu Ke was very happy.
"Ding Dong!"
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a piece of future information.]
Zhu Ke was instantly shocked. The garbage system was silent for more than two months, and finally received another benefit. He quickly opened it.
[News: In June 1996, MGM Films and Sony Columbia will compete for the film and television copyright of Marvel's Spider-Man.]
Damn it!
Spider-Man!
"Spider-Man 1/2/3", including "Amazing Spider-Man", and even the restarted Spider-Man, are box office bombs, and in the DVD and game markets, the surrounding licensed markets are even more explosive, involving a market of tens of billions of dollars.
Sony Colombia in her previous life relied on it to prosper
"Spider-Man 1" has accumulated a total of US$930 million in box office, and its game and surrounding markets have brought more than US$1 billion in profits to Colombia in just one year, so Juke cannot be unhappy.
If it weren't for the system's reminder, Zhu Ke, who has been busy recently, would definitely not be able to get involved.
Chapter completed!
