Chapter 109 Endorsement

Chapter 109 Endorsement
When you start your own business, you have to consider taxes.

As early as when I went through a Hong Kong agent to help me register a company in the mainland, I had specifically learned about the relevant information.

Fan Wumian said to Zuo Ziyan:
"I have already asked an accounting firm for help. I am afraid that I will soon be forgotten. I have to pay the taxes I should pay. But it is okay to avoid taxes legally. No one will think that they have too much money. Of course, I will save as much as I can."

"Yesterday morning, my accountant advised me to buy a house or office building in the name of the company. I can use it as a tax deduction and use it as my own office space, and I can also save some rent..."

Zuo Ziyan nodded:
"It's okay to buy a house. The housing prices in Hong Kong have dropped a lot."

"My father also bought me a house to avoid taxes when I was still in primary school. He bought it in the name of the company and gave it to me for free for a long time. If I want to sell the house in the future, I can sell it together with the company, which can save a lot of handling fees."

"There is a saying in the real estate industry: buy the most expensive property you can afford while the price is low. There is a house on Kent Road in Kowloon Tong that seems to be very popular recently. It covers an area of ​​nearly 4600 square feet, but it is sold for million. It is very close to the house my parents gave me."

Kent Road, Kowloon Tong, is an old low-density wealthy area in Hong Kong.

Although the prices are not as outrageous as those around Taiping Peak, and it is not an area that ordinary people dare to dream of, a group of wealthy people have moved there to live since the beginning of the last century.

"When you were in elementary school, your dad bought you a house? We are all human beings, why are you so outstanding?"

After Fan Wumian finished teasing, he shook his head and said:

"I can't afford something that expensive. Sorry for bothering you."

"I mean to borrow money from the bank and buy a house in Shenzhen. Based on the profit this time, I'm afraid I can save hundreds of thousands of taxes."

"Some time ago, the agency sent an advertisement to my mailbox. The location is right next to the golf course. I probably won't live there myself now, but I can use it as a place to work. I'll take you there later. It's not too far to take a taxi."

Thinking he is too young, he should consider the future.

If you suddenly become rich, it seems like a good idea to buy some fixed assets and save some money.

Zuo Ziyan smiled and said:
"Sure, I have time. I'm here now and plan to go back tomorrow. The mainland market is really huge. That guy in a plaid shirt, carrying a tattered bag, actually asked for 15 records."

I have never had my own house, so I am a bit obsessed with buying one.

When it comes to buying a house, I get excited instantly.

This time, the total sales of the genuine album of "That Girl" has exceeded 400 million copies, which is a sure profit of "tens of millions", an excess profit of a huge amount.

The down payment amount for the loan is not too high, it is just one day’s income of Yaomei Culture.

I have already started to become famous and have safely passed the most difficult stage.

As long as the house doesn't collapse in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money. Fan Wumian feels that it is no longer stressful to buy a house in advance while the price is low.

He said to Zuo Ziyan:

"With a huge market of more than one billion people, if it weren't for the lack of strict Internet supervision and the disruption caused by counterfeit dens, famous singers and actors would have made a fortune long ago."

"Take your time. Good days will come in the future. They can produce knock-off albums, but they can't clone me. When I have more fans, I can hold concerts and sell tickets to make money."

"Other singers who sign with companies have to share a large amount of their earnings with others. It's different for me. I keep all the earnings, no matter how much I earn."

"I originally thought that you should sign a contract with a record company."

While Zuo Ziyan was speaking, she pointed to the crowd outside purchasing albums and continued:
"It turns out that I was wrong. Although I can't sustain this kind of business for a long time, holding a concert is still a good idea. Congratulations, you have a long-term meal ticket at the age of 18, and you started your own business."

"We're just getting started."

Fan Wumian changed the subject and told her:
"You only saw me eating meat, but you didn't see me getting beaten. I didn't make money for the traditional record companies this time. When the sales data is released, they will definitely be jealous and blame me for being so ignorant. I'm afraid our relationship will be strained by then."

Zuo Ziyan said in an indifferent tone:
"At least you've made money, so why bother with them? Let's go, I'll take you to look at houses. Real estate is my family's main business, so you've asked the right person. But if you buy a house in Shenzhen, the appreciation potential won't be that big."

"???"

What else could Fan Wumian say? He only wanted to ask one question: "What kind of crappy vision is this? Do you call this asking the right person?"

It is difficult for people to earn money beyond their cognition.

Considering that housing prices in Shenzhen have increased several times over the years, Zuo Ziyan feels it is normal that there is not much room for appreciation.

Even the most optimistic economists cannot predict what the city will look like in 20 years.

Fan Wumian is different.

As for the houses next to Shahe Golf Course, he thinks it would cost more than 20 million RMB to buy them now, and years later, he might not be able to buy them even with a small amount of money.

When I was shopping in Shenzhen and standing in front of an agency, I was still thinking about when I could buy myself a villa. I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to realize my goal so soon.

Bringing assistant Pu Jiajing and Zuo Ziyan downstairs.

I happened to meet agent Jiang Shixi.

He told Fan Wumian:
"I'm planning to visit you at the hotel later. The endorsement matter has come to a head. A clothing chain is very interested in you. There's also another one that sells sports shoes. I wonder if you've heard of these two brands since you're in Hong Kong."

"Huh? Which brand?"

"Red Star Erke and Sanma, it seems that they replied to me because they saw that you are very popular and raised the ratings of "Entertainment Camp" so high last night. I want to work harder and help you get more endorsements!"

Agent Jiang Shixi is gearing up to take advantage of Fan Wumian's recent popularity and proactively contact more suitable companies.

Done.

Jiang Shixi looked at Fan Wumian's hair and continued to ask:
"I don't have the resources to let you endorse a big brand yet. But many people on the Internet praised your handsome hairstyle. A shampoo brand found me and offered 100 million per year. For now, I just want to sign a one-year contract with you to see the effect."

How can you not know the red stars Erke and Sanma?

The current scale of these two brands is not large, but they will have rapid development momentum in the next few years. In Fan Wumian's opinion, these are very good endorsement opportunities and are worth contacting and discussing.

As for shampoo.

Out of his sixth sense, Fan Wumian first thought of a brand that had suddenly become obscure after crazy advertising.

After further questioning.

really.

Jiang Shixi said, "That shampoo company focuses on preventing hair loss. Its brand name is Bawang, and its business in Dongguan is quite good. Although it doesn't quite fit your image, if the price is good, I suggest you give it a try."

". Forget about the anti-hair loss shampoo, it could easily ruin my reputation."

Fan Wumian originally planned to go and see the house first and then discuss it in detail with his agent.

suddenly thought.

Real estate companies also like to find celebrities to endorse and promote their properties. Sometimes, in order to increase the value of a property, they are even willing to give away houses for free, hoping that the other party will occasionally stay there.

It is not clear whether the villas next to Shahe Golf Course have been sold out.

I don't know whether such a big boss would care about a new star like me who has just emerged and is in a somewhat awkward position.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Fan Wumian simply dragged Jiang Shixi along, hoping that the agent would help him negotiate. The four of them took a taxi to Shahe Golf Villa.

en route.

Fan Wumian talked to Jiang Shixi about his idea of ​​buying an apartment to use as an office temporarily.

His personal studio did not rent a house and was temporarily working together with Yaomei Culture. Jiang Shixi certainly had no objection to this and agreed to go to the sales office to talk to someone later.

When Zuo Ziyan heard Fan Wumian mention that his fame was limited, she continued:
"You can't think like that. Although you have just started to become famous in the mainland and most of your fans are young people, you are very famous in Hong Kong. I know that there are many high-end real estate projects in Dongguan that like to advertise and sell houses in Hong Kong, using low prices to attract Hong Kong residents to move north for retirement. This is also your advantage."

"Hey, that seems to be true."

Fan Wumian immediately said to Jiang Shixi:

"If the house has not been sold yet, remember to mention it to them and say that if I live here, it is likely to attract buyers from Hong Kong."

The taxi driver remained silent.

Only after hearing Fan Wumian's words did he smile and say:
"So it came from Hong Kong City. No wonder you didn't know."

"There are dozens of houses next to Shahe Golf Villa. They are well-built and large in size, but they are all commercial and residential properties with 40-year property rights. The price of a house is several million yuan. Only stupid people with a lot of money would buy them. They are definitely not all sold."

"A few days ago, I was picking someone up near the airport and saw a developer handing out flyers for advertising. If they just want to start a company, then just ignore what I said. I sent a passenger there once two months ago and it seemed like there were houses being renovated there, with clubs and restaurants to be built there."

Fan Wumian said with a smile:
"I already knew about the 40-year property rights for commercial and residential properties. The single-family villas on the pure waterfront in Portofino have 70-year property rights, but the rough-finished price of 1850 million is enough to buy three or four houses here. It's about the same whether you start a company or live there yourself."

The driver didn't worry about it anymore.

Send them to their destination, then drive away.

Fan Wumian had seen pictures online, but when he arrived in person he discovered that the single-family villas here were much larger than he had imagined, and there were also townhouses nearby.

Agent Jiang Shixi first went to the sales office to inquire about the situation.

Zuo Ziyan stood at the gate of a villa and watched, and said with emotion:

"Houses in the mainland are really cheap, more than 10,000 yuan per square meter. You can't even buy an old tenement building in Hong Kong for this price, not to mention that there is a golf course next door."

Went to second base last night, one of our own.

Fan Wumian suggested:

"If you have some spare money, you can also come to Shenzhen and buy one. The driver is right. Villas with 70-year property rights are better and should have greater room for appreciation. The problem is that I don't have that much money to spend on a house. Buying a villa like this with a loan is already at the limit and is more cost-effective."

Zuo Ziyan waved her hand and replied:

"I don't need a house, why should I buy so many?"

"."

The opportunity to make a fortune was placed at her fingertips.

Since Zuo Ziyan didn't open her mouth, Fan Wumian could do nothing.

Walk around.

I found that there were only a dozen single-family villas in total, with different shapes. Half of them were not facing the lake, and most of them were vacant.

There are more townhouses.

Now that he has become a celebrity, Fan Wumian has not considered buying a townhouse for privacy reasons.

Waited for over an hour.

After the agent Jiang Shixi came back, he made an OK gesture from a distance, walked up to Fan Wumian and said:
"As soon as I mentioned you, the boss, they all knew you. The manager went to talk to the developer."

"Last year, the big star Gong Li helped to endorse this place, and the developer gave her a house for free, but the publicity was not very effective, and it seems that half of the houses have not been sold yet."

"Boss, you are famous now. You can help attract people from Hong Kong to buy houses. I won't give you a house for free, but I should be able to ask for a discount. A salesperson will take you in to have a look."

The current real estate market in Shenzhen is sluggish.

The manager in charge of selling houses came with the salesperson and told Fan Wumian that he had asked the boss and he could get a 30% discount if he bought a house here.

You can save millions at once.

Fan Wumian went to look at houses first. There were several single-family villas, each with a certified area of ​​about 425 square meters, and the front and back yards together totaling about 600 square meters.

Putting aside its commercial and residential nature, there is nothing wrong with it in any aspect.

Thinking about getting it at a super low price, the happiness can be doubled.

He said to the manager:

"I want to buy two houses at once, one for myself and one for my office, but you have to give me a 50% discount. I will ask your boss and I won't take your benefits for nothing. The next time I am interviewed by the media, I will publicly introduce that I bought a house here."

Zuo Ziyan thought.

Wow, it’s 50% off right away, which is like buy one get one free.

She originally thought that the developer would not agree, perhaps because the market conditions were indeed very bad and commercial and residential properties with 40-year property rights were really difficult to sell.

The sales office manager called again and asked, then came over and said:
"Our boss said that this price is already a loss. We can agree to give you a 50% discount, but in addition to your help in endorsement and promotion, you also need to take time out to attend two events, one in Hong Kong and one in Shenzhen, and you can just show up and sing a song at those times."

From the sound of it, it seemed like even the previous 30% discount would not be a loss.

I’m not sure what the construction cost is, but the developer shouldn’t lose much by spending more than 5 million to buy two villas.

The housing prices in Shenzhen have only been rising for a few years.

In the past, the price of land was very cheap, especially for commercial and residential use, so it would not be wrong to describe it as "dirt cheap".

Just show up and sing some songs, earn a lot of money to buy a detached villa, the feeling of being a star is really wonderful.

To know.

The market price of Silly Old Fan’s shabby house of more than 80 square meters in Hong Kong City is more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

Face this good thing.

Fan Wumian would be a fool not to agree, he said straightforwardly:

"No problem. I want the two units facing the lake, No. 06 and No. 07. When can I sign the contract? Also, I need to pay half of the down payment first, and I'll trouble you to pay the rest in installments."

The manager held out his hand and said:
"No problem. This way please. I'll have someone calculate the price for you. You have a good eye. Both of these houses are by the lake, and the garden area is slightly larger. A dentist from Hong Kong City came here some time ago and said he was considering buying No. 07. Maybe he'll just come and take a look."

Zuo Ziyan added:

"Dentists in Hong Kong earn very high incomes, so it's not surprising that they can afford a house worth four or five million. The husband of a friend of my mom opened several dental clinics and seems to make 2000 million Hong Kong dollars a year. He is considering listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."
