Zhang Yuan soon signed a three-year endorsement contract with Adidas for the mainland region.

He put the contract under the name of his own agency.

I then signed a temporary cooperation contract with the agency in my personal capacity.

In this way, the advertising endorsement fee changes from personal income to business income. Not only is the tax rate very different, but the company can also get tax refunds and tax deductions at the end of the year.

This is a normal and legal means of tax avoidance, which can save nearly half of the tax, but most celebrities and capital are still not satisfied with this.

Human nature is so greedy.

After receiving 18 million, he still had more than 10 million left. He immediately took time out to shoot a number of print advertisements for the brand, which would soon be put online in major brand stores in mainland China.

Let’s talk about Huayi.

Ever since Zhang Yuan proposed the bet agreement, Wang Da and Wang Xiao have not responded to him.

Naturally, they were not satisfied with this bet agreement.

It’s not that I’m dissatisfied with the content.

Mainly, it was different from what they expected.

What they want, of course, is Zhang Yuan!

When Sister Hua left, she took away a large number of top stars. If Zhang Yuan, the popular young actor, could announce in a high-profile manner that he was joining Huayi.

Then it will not only clear away the haze, but also stabilize the people's hearts.

This is why Wang Zhonglei contacted him.

Moreover, the other party did prepare a good agency contract with very good terms.

However, they didn’t expect that Zhang Yuan wanted more and had bigger ambitions!

If it were before, Zhang Yuan would have proposed this gambling agreement.

Xiao Wang will definitely chuckle.

"Ha ha……"

"Although I value you, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?"

But things are different now. Zhang Yuan knows that only during this time window is he qualified to negotiate with Huayi.

The king has also carefully studied Zhang Yuan's information these days. After all, it was his younger brother who was keeping an eye on it before.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

Zhang Yuan’s partners range from Tangren, Ciwen to Hairun, and now he even has a short-term collaboration with Warner Bros.

He had so many places to choose from!
Oh, I just went to shoot an art film for Xingmei.

Like Warner, Star Media has in-depth cooperation with China Film Group. This guy has recently been flirting with Old Yang of China Film Group...

Later, they received the news that Zhang Yuan had obtained the endorsement of Adidas, which made the two Wangs even more uncomfortable.

With this big endorsement, if Zhang Yuan were our artist, the company would be able to make millions just by taking commission!
Moreover, the two Wangs had a big flaw in their thinking.

In their hearts, they are either my friends or my enemies.

So what they are afraid of now is that Zhang Yuan will join another company and become their enemy!

However, if it was not an agency contract but a gambling agreement, they were afraid that they would not be able to control this guy.

They are used to being domineering, and they feel uneasy when they don’t have an overwhelming advantage.

……

"Well, I see."

On the other side, when Zhang Yuan was patiently waiting for Huayi's reply, he received a call from Fan Xiaopang.

"Zhang Yuan, I heard you and Xiao Wang were talking about something?"

A few years ago, Zhang Yuan raised the possibility of Sister Hua running away with her.

Now that Wang Jinhua is really gone, she is still under contract with Huayi and is in a dilemma.

Can't leave because of a contract?
So what was the lawsuit she was fighting with Qiong Yao? This was not the first time Fan Bingbing had done this.

This woman is very decisive in doing things and definitely has the courage to cut off one's own arm.

So she has been paying special attention to the company's internal dynamics recently, and soon got the news that Zhang Yuan and Xiao Wang had a secret conversation.

Taking advantage of her good relationship with Zhang Yuan, she wanted to get more information at this juncture to facilitate her own judgment.

"Yes, we are talking."

"Agent contract?"

"No, but it is more important than the agency contract." Zhang Yuan replied.

"what is that?"

"Well..." Zhang Yuan thought about it.

Several days had passed and there had been no response from Huayi. He was actually quite anxious.

Because this step is too critical for him. If it fails, all plans will have to be started over again.

"Why not give the other party a little more stimulation."

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes, intending to repeat his old trick and "leak" the news.

“Only a few people know about this.”

"But I understand that you are also in a critical period, and I trust you."

"I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret for me."

When Fan Bingbing heard him say this, he felt itchy.

Not only is there a curiosity to pry into secrets, but there is also a special feeling, as if the other person is whispering in your ear.

He believes in me so much...

Then Zhang Yuan told her roughly about the gambling agreement.

Zhang Yuan knew that she would keep the secret from Huayi's people.

But whether he will keep the secret from Sister Hua is a question mark.

If Sister Hua and Cheng Tian knew about this and came to negotiate with him, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the big and small kings!
"What exactly do you want by doing this?" Fan Bingbing didn't understand.

"Remember I told you before that I would give you a clear path to make a fortune?"

"remember."

"Well, after Huayi and I reach an agreement or the talks break down, you can go talk to Xiao Wang about the shares, on the condition that you stay in Huayi."

"So, you want Huayi's shares?"

"correct."

"But Huayi's shares are not valuable, only a few cents per share." Fat Fan knew this.

"Then have you ever thought that if Huayi goes public, the price of its shares will skyrocket."

"After going public...how much will the price go up? Will it increase fivefold or tenfold?" Fan Bingbing tried to exaggerate as much as possible; this was already the limit of her imagination.

In fact, if calculated based on the current share price, the highest price on the first day of listing, the price per share of Huayi has increased by nearly three hundred times.

This was something even the two kings had not expected.

When Feng Xiaogang later sold his shares in Huayi, he paid more than 40 million in personal income tax alone.

He and the bearded man became billionaires overnight.

"It should at least increase by this much, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe it, you're so smart." When Fat Fan heard that there was money to be made, his eyes immediately lit up.

If it can be increased tenfold, I will spend hundreds of thousands now and it can turn into millions in the future.

It cannot be said that she has a narrow vision, but even practitioners these days did not expect that China's economic development would be so fast!

"Hey, you have to be careful too." Fan Bingbing was excited, but then he came to his senses: "I will help you pay attention to the internal news of Huayi, and contact you as soon as there is any movement."

Zhang Yuan agreed.

I have to say, it makes sense that Fan Bingbing has become the number one celebrity in Chinese entertainment.

He is indeed generous and righteous in doing things.

She is the type who is very feminine when she is a woman, but more manly than men when she is working.

As soon as I put down the phone, Brother Qian came to my door.

"I told you before that I found the house you wanted."

"Now the landlord has relented and is planning to sell the property. Let's go take a look together."

Zhang Yuan lived in Pi Tiao Hutong in Xicheng District. Brother Qian took him on a car ride and came to Nanluoguxiang near Dongcheng District.

They are also within the Second Ring Road and are all good locations, just in different areas.

Moreover, from a historical and geographical point of view, Pi Tiao Hutong is adjacent to the Bada Hutong, which was a red-light district in the old society and naturally was not a good place.

But it fits Zhang Yuan's position as an entertainment industry figure. Nanluoguxiang is completely different. In ancient times, there were many mansions here, and the famous Prince Gong's Mansion is located on this street.

How good is the location of this place?
Opposite is Jingshan Park, and behind Jingshan Park is the Palace Museum.

Next to it are Shichahai and Houhai.

The straight-line distance to Tiananmen Square is about three kilometers.

Mr. Feng Gong, who has met Zhang Yuan several times, his family used to have an ancestral home in Nanluoguxiang. After all, his great-grandfather was Feng Guozhang.

However, his grandfather donated the house to the government for free when he went abroad, and this old house, which was later worth nearly 10 billion yuan, had nothing to do with him anymore.

Of course, the house that Brother Qian found for Zhang Yuan was not on Nanluoguxiang Street, but in the nearby Fuxiang Hutong.

The main street of Nanluoguxiang is shaped like a fishbone, and Fuxiang Hutong is located on the "fishbone".

It’s not that there are no houses in Nanluoguxiang, but that the houses there do not meet Zhang Yuan’s requirements.

Because it’s too big and too expensive!
The starting price was over 05 square meters, and the cost was easily tens of millions, and that was in !
The courtyard house that Murdoch bought last year is in a better location and cost him 10 million yuan, with a construction area of ​​about 250 to 260 square meters.

But a siheyuan is different from a public housing unit. It has a construction area of ​​200 square meters, but the land area may be 500 to 600 square meters.

Therefore, in those days when the average price of a building in the imperial capital was three to four thousand yuan, the cheapest courtyard house would cost more than ten thousand yuan.

Fuxiang Hutong is also in a good location, and the courtyard houses above it are of varying sizes, which are more suitable for him.

"This place is not bad, you'll see it soon." Brother Qian said as he walked with him, and they came to a gate that looked a little dilapidated and decayed.

After knocking, they found that the door was not locked, so Brother Qian led him into the house.

As soon as he entered the yard, Zhang Yuan was stunned.

"Did the Eight-Nation Alliance just happen here?"

There were weeds everywhere, the roofs of the houses on both sides were leaking, and the floor tiles in the yard were broken everywhere.

He scanned the area but couldn't find a complete piece.

"Tsk, even though it's broken, it meets your requirements." Brother Qian patted his shoulder.

"This place has a construction area of ​​just over 300 square meters, but the actual area is close to 1,200 square meters."

"This large yard is about 600 square meters, and there is also a backyard."

"Such a big house was left abandoned for 20 to 30 years because it was so dilapidated that it was uninhabitable."

Brother Qian whispered in my ear: "The original owner ran away during the WG and only came back a few years ago."

"Now that the housing prices have gone up, I plan to sell it and move abroad completely."

"Runren again?" Zhang Yuan scratched his head.

"Don't worry about how he got it or why he sold it. Anyway, this house is only worth this much..."

Brother Qian made the number seven gesture.

Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

This location, this price, is really cheap!

If the house is well preserved, it would cost at least around one thousand.

“The most valuable thing about this house is that it has this area in this location.”

"It's okay if the house is broken, you can fix it yourself and it will be convenient for redecoration."

Zhang Yuan nodded, Brother Qian was indeed a sensible man.

As long as you have the money, spending a few million to redo it is no big deal.

Anyway, I was going to redecorate the house after I bought it.

"Not bad, not bad, we've found it." Zhang Yuan looked around and thought that even if he spent seven million to buy it and left it alone, it would appreciate twenty or thirty times in value in ten years, so it would be a sure profit.

The two were smoking and planning how to decorate the house in the future.

Then I heard two voices coming from outside the door.

One is old, the other is young, both are men.

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to pay, the price is negotiable."

"I know, I know. You are a celebrity, so you must be a generous person with plenty of money..."

As they spoke, the two of them stepped over the threshold and walked into the yard.

"Brother Hu, you said you would come and see the house, but you are late." Brother Qian's face changed, then he put on a smile and walked towards the landlord.

"Something urgent happened...Oh, by the way, what a coincidence." The landlord, Lao Hu, rolled his eyes and began to introduce.

"Mr. Yu, you said the guy you helped look at the house with was a star."

"It just so happens that there is another celebrity here to look at the house. You are both in the same industry, so it's a good opportunity for you to communicate with each other."

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized the old man with a square face, big eyes, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes standing next to the landlord.

He immediately walked up to him with a smile and held his hands.

"Hello, Brother Yu!"

This uninvited guest is none other than Yu Bo, one of the “Three Treasures of Zhouyi”!

Zhang Yuan had a smile on his face but was thinking MMP in his heart.

Gan!
Met this old man.

That’s right, he is a well-known “Siheyuan” enthusiast in the imperial circle. If there is such a bargain, he will definitely come here when he smells the aroma.

"Ah, hello, hello, I've heard of you." Yu Bo greeted him with a confident smile.

They are called the three treasures of Zhouyi, but in fact, in Zhouyi company, Yu Bo is the undisputed number one.

The remaining two, Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin, could only serve as supporting roles for him.

Moreover, both Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin are Wuying-level masters, but they can only play supporting roles.

"Brother Yu, there should be a first come first served principle when doing things." Zhang Yuan didn't have much interaction with him at work, so there was no need to be polite.

"Of course, I came to the entertainment industry earlier, and you came a little later."

Unexpectedly, the other party also refused to give in.

Brother Qian pulled the landlord aside and handed him a cigarette with great dissatisfaction.

"So you are also very interested?"

After several rounds of "fighting" back and forth, Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"It's a business deal. It depends on what the landlord wants." Yu Bo obviously didn't want to let it go.

"Okay then." Zhang Yuan grinned, revealing his red and white teeth, and then said to the landlord.

"Mr. Hu, if you agree to the deal, I can pay you in full." Zhang Yuan said, and then added: "Cash."

Yu Bo was stunned.

Seven million in cash?
Are all the young people in the entertainment industry so rich nowadays?

He had used his savings to buy two courtyard houses, one large and one small, in the past two years, so he naturally did not have much money.

Zhang Yuan glanced at him after he finished speaking.

Come on, let’s compete with each other.

I just got the advertising fee from Adidas, and now I’m so powerful!
Hiss... Yu Bo took a breath of cold air. The other party played it too realistically.

Young people are so awesome!
But he won't give up either.

"Mr. Hu, give me some time, I can also take out cash."

"And the prices are negotiable." He replied politely.

The landlord asked him to come here just to get the two wealthy stars to bid against each other, so he was naturally happy to hear him say that.

"Brother Yu, driving up prices is not a good idea," Zhang Yuan reminded him.

"It's fair competition." Yu Bo thought to himself, you unruly junior.

"You mean it depends on your own ability?"

"Of course it is."

Zhang Yuan pursed his lips and nodded.

It seems that this person would rather take cephalexin than drink the toast.

When Brother Qian saw Zhang Yuan's condition, he began to mourn for Yu Bo in his heart.

"Although we both have the surname Yu and are from the same family, I can't save you."

"Okay, Mr. Hu, I'm quite interested in this house. If you are willing to accept my conditions, please contact me."

Zhang Yuan stopped pestering him. After all, the harder they fought, the happier the landlord would be.

After returning home with Brother Qian, Zhang Yuan hid in the house and made a phone call.

He intends to completely eradicate Yu Bo's roots... (End of this chapter)
