Chapter 121 Take a photo and get an inheritance

"Liqi, relax, relax, don't be so nervous, I can move by myself."

"Yes, yes, lean back, lean back, this posture will make you more beautiful."

"Hold your hands on your back, tap your toes lightly, look up and squint, look at my fingers, yes yes yes, very good..."

When Roland, who was holding the camera, chanted unprofessional words, commanding the little guys in front of the camera to make various actions and pose weird poses, those who hung their work IDs and stood at the main light, auxiliary [Fake Photographer] and [True Toolman] behind the lights and background lights all showed a beeping look.

Their foreheads seemed to have been hit by a nine-toothed rake.

The ravines of different shades vividly show the feeling of suffocation that one wants to vomit but swallows forcefully.

Regarding Roland's precepts and deeds, they wondered if they had gone to the wrong set.

Yes, Roland is indeed not filming now, but he is indeed working.

Ever since David Olsen mentioned to Roland that he wanted to use the Olsen sisters and Roland's personal image to create an age-appropriate clothing brand, he has been preparing for these things; "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Jurassic Park" "At the beginning of filming, the establishment of the company and the design of costumes have already been started. Since he is new to the film industry, he did not overdo it and did not immediately implant his own products in the film, but this does not mean that, He is not ready to take advantage of it.

After knowing the release time of "Jurassic Park" and "Sleepless in Seattle", the announcement date and launch date of the brand clothing that has already started production have been determined. On June 15, "Jurassic Park" premiered The day after the weekend box office was released, it was officially announced that on June 25th, the movie "Sleepless in Seattle" will be sold across North America on the day it is released.

With the momentum of the two movies, he couldn't believe that the brand's name could not be established!

As for how a real estate business can design clothing across industries, and have the courage to distribute products across North America without retail resources? This is actually due to the star effect of the Roland and Olsen sisters. In addition to recruiting people to design styles, David spends the rest of his time contacting the foundry, hoping that the other party can help with production, communicate with Wal-Mart, and enter the supply of goods.

If you replace it with a poor boy who is starting a business, the foundry may respond, but Wal-Mart will never show mercy!

Want to use our channel if you are not famous? Go dreaming!

But the problem is, Roland and Olsen are guys with their own traffic!

If they cooperate, it means that the former has a high probability of getting a steady stream of orders, and Wal-Mart can also successfully attract traffic, because they are the only ones selling these popular clothes.

So, after digging out the details, the cooperation was formally finalized. The foundry helped with production, David was purely OEM, and Wal-Mart was also willing to give screen advertisements in its own shopping malls to help publicize.

In fact, Roland was a little hesitant when he heard the word OEM.

No way, who made Ms. Dong of later generations angry at Rebs, derogate the OEM rice products to nothing, and blow up the mobile phone that will display her own photo when it is turned on?

But thinking about it carefully, he didn't think there was any problem.

After all, this is just a clothing label!

You know, even the Italian local brand Gucci was turned upside down by its own TV station Rai3 in the "Report" program. Ladies' handbags, mini handbags and other things are all local factories in the small town of Scandicci in Florence. OEM OEM, they assemble and sew the finished materials of 'MadeinChina', the labor cost is about 24 Euros, the total cost is less than 100, but the price is more than 1,000; after the news was exposed, Gucci President Patrizio Marco not only did not make excuses, but also dragged Louis Vuitton into the water again, saying that the cost of the OEM products of the other party was not as high as his own. It's not yet eighty, and the profit is more than 60%!

Since luxury goods dare to play OEM, why don't they dare to wear clothes that are close to the people?

Besides, he is not afraid if something happens!

Wired head?

That means we are handmade!

Do not wash, do not bleach, do not iron, do not dry clean?

That's because you didn't find the other party, so you can bring the clothes to after-sales, as long as 998, you can take the new clothes home!

The clothes are broken and the thread is disconnected as soon as you sit down?

That's your fat, just stretch it out when you sit down!

Of course, this kind of arrogance of luxury goods will not appear on David and the others, because compared with those luxury goods, talents are their brand, and if an accident occurs with a product, it is equal to an accident with a person, so quality control is his responsibility. Pay close attention to the main points.

The most basic maintenance measure is to randomly select samples of goods and use them as model clothing.

In this way, at this moment, Elizabeth will change her clothes in a different way, dance in front of Roland, and when Roland smiles and makes an OK gesture to tell little loli that he has finished filming, that little girl is even more jumping up and down. Come here, and then Pia squeaked and crawled in front of Roland. After looking around, she stared at the camera curiously, "Roland~ Where's the photo?"

"Photo? What photo?" Roland didn't react for a moment.

"It's my photo!"

Elizabeth raised her hand and gestured, "When the teacher takes pictures for us, we can get the photos as soon as we finish."

"Oh, that one is called Polaroid, but ours is not."

"Can't we see this one?"

"Yes, it needs to be printed, but I can't see it now."

"Then how do you know if your photos are good?" Elizabeth was like a curious baby. While lying on Roland's back, she also put her chin on Roland's shoulders, "What if the photos don't look good?"

"Do you think I will make you look ugly?" Roland asked pretending to be angry.

"No." Elizabeth shook her head without thinking, but the next second, she continued to add: "But I also want to take pictures of you, but I don't know if I will make you ugly..."

With those words, Roland, who still wanted to pretend for a while, laughed directly, pinched the little guy's face with his left hand, and turned his right hand back. The sharp-eyed assistant immediately stepped forward and handed him the machine that had been prepared.

"When (→) When (→) When (→) When (↗)!"

While dubbing himself, Roland also took out the machine. Before he could speak, the little loli who felt the surprise first imprinted Rua on Roland's cheek, then grabbed the Polaroid and played with it curiously. stand up.

"This is the Polaroid that can take pictures?"

"Yes, you can shoot me with it later."

"It looks so big, it's hard for me to hold it."

"Don't worry, it will become smaller and smaller, and it can be integrated with mobile phones in the future, and it can also make movies!"

"Mobile phone? Make a movie?"

"Why, don't you believe it? Let me tell you, the Oscar + Golden Globe nominees will use their mobile phones to take pictures of dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs!"

Although Elizabeth is small, she is not stupid. Even if she behaves stupidly and cutely sometimes, it is also an instinctive expression of curiosity. After she found out that Roland was talking nonsense, she fell in love with Roland. She glanced at him, then grabbed his arm and pushed him into the dressing room.

"Go and change quickly, I want to shoot you!"

With a bang, she closed the door smoothly.

This sound made Roland smile and shake his head.

The baby-voiced Elizabeth is so much fun, especially when she was lying on her shoulders and looking around like a mouse, she was so cute with curiosity; and when the little guy wanted to pat him interchangeably, Roland was very satisfied with having fun after Mua first—as a great man said, "Education starts with the baby", and under his deliberate guidance, Elizabeth Wanda Olsen has already Gradually got on the right track.

In this way, if you let her pat, you won't lose two pieces of meat!

While retracting his thoughts, Roland also looked at himself in the mirror and took off his clothes.

Roland, who entered adolescence, has grown rapidly since the physiological reaction of voice change. He is now ten years and thirty-nine months old, and he is now five feet four inches tall. His face has grown even wider. Surprised him.

If you use two words to describe it, it is cool!

I have to describe it in detail, that is the whole face, with a high degree of folding, narrow face, pointed face, edges and corners, and then add the blond hair like a big back, even if the whole forehead is exposed, no one will say he is big!

And if you want to find a reference, it is 10086 times more handsome than Luke's 40-year-old middle-aged photo in "Growing Pains"! Do not believe? He has no stomach or fat now, how could he be inferior to others?

Of course, because he has grown taller, his face has opened up, and he has lost weight, so when designing clothes according to his appearance, David has been sighing regretfully there. If he had made clothing a year earlier, Roland could have added fuel to children's clothing , Help, and now, he can only sell his youth to those teenagers who are about his age.

Roland naturally didn't take David's remorseful thought seriously.

He understood that the other party was just complaining a few words. If he was really allowed to compete with the sponsors of "HA2", then he would definitely give up wisely. Businessmen want traffic, but Brother Jianguo needs a lot of attention!

Thoughts like flying around were just passing through Roland's mind at will. When he changed into clothes and pants that needed to be sold, and appeared in front of everyone with quick movements, Elizabeth, who was sitting on the ground waiting bored, suddenly He bit his finger, and the male staff around him even showed jealous eyes.

Just as Roland was about to stand in front of the camera, wanting the photographer to take a good shot and Elizabeth to have a good time, a young woman with a badge suddenly jumped in front of him with golden eyes.

"Want to sign? Is it working time now?" Roland frowned indistinctly.

He felt good about himself, but felt that the staff had gone a little too far.

However, before he could cast his eyes on the other party's work card, the young woman spoke first, "No, no, Mr. Allen, I'm not asking for an autograph. I'm your makeup artist. On camera, the effect is not good."

croak croak...

Roland choked on the spot at the strange sound like a crow flying by.

But in the next second, he quietly looked around and returned to his natural state.

Um! Su Yan can fascinate all living beings, he is indeed more handsome than Xiao Lizi!

...

The unscrupulous Roland and Elizabeth were filming indiscriminately, and the studio next door was showing the Olsen sisters' dressing show.

Compared to the mo-mo-chirp two, the two sisters who have long been used to filming move smoothly and their smiles remain unchanged.

Because of their good foundation and rich experience, the effect of the two of them is the same as that of "beauties born in the 1990s are actually middle-aged and elderly clothing models on Taobao". In fact, it is the real culprit that induces everyone to continue to consume. Sometimes, it is not that the clothes look good, but that you feel that you can look as good as others in this suit.

If I had to use an analogy, it would be that my eldest brother’s D.Va is the best seller!

And rotten group? That's a buyer's show at best!

With the bonus buff of the empress, there is no way my elder brother will lose!

...

From nine o'clock to twelve o'clock, all the costumes were taken by them.

In fact, there are not many styles, and there is only one theme, which is cool summer.

In fact, at first Roland wanted to take advantage of the popularity of dinosaurs, and cooperate with Universal to film an advertising video in which a little doll of later generations hangs and beats a Tyrannosaurus rex. In the end, Heihu took out the doll's cotton wool directly with his heart, so as to completely promote his own brand.

Universal agrees with his idea. (Universal: There is nothing we can do if we don’t agree! Your master went to the parent company to take a look at the table and ask who agrees and who disagrees. There are so many things to do! And in the end, they all agree!)

But unfortunately, since they have already sold the copyright of toy sales, they have no say in this kind of behavior that may damage the interests of others. After David communicated with the toy manufacturer, the other party shook his head and said, "One Claws can break our toys? Doesn’t this imply to customers that our toys are of poor quality? No, absolutely not!”

In this way, while obliterating the creation (jie) meaning (jian), it also reduced the burden on Roland and the others.

...

At noon, everyone finished work and had dinner together. When Ganetti tilted his head and asked Elizabeth if Gao was happy today, the little guy directly took out a bunch of photos from his bag.

Because he is too young, not tall, but ambitious, the Roland in the photo is either missing arms and legs, or half of his head is missing, and the thing like amputation below the eyebrows is also fooled by the little guy. up.

Looking at this photo, the other four people couldn't stop laughing, while Roland...

Well, compared to that James who was locked up in school and couldn't meddle in his own business, he felt that he was doing well.

But it’s good to be good, and what to do is to do. If there is revenge, you still have to take revenge.

Actually took pictures of me so ugly? Watch me rub the dog's head angrily!

Grabbing Elizabeth, he rubbed her face vigorously like a dog. When the little guy couldn't dodge and giggled, David also shook his head with a smile and knocked on the table, "Just pass the punishment, don't make trouble." Already."

"It's lunch time, don't laugh food down your windpipe."

The parents have spoken, and everyone in Pi will show some face. After everyone sat down, David turned his gaze to Roland and said, "Roland, all the inheritance of your parents has been dealt with."

"Huh?" Roland, who hadn't heard about this for a long time, was a little surprised, "Hasn't it been confiscated?"

"What are you thinking?" David was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then raised his hand to support his forehead, and said helplessly, "Inheritance tax is indeed a lot, but they won't embezzle all your property!"

"Under normal circumstances, the heirs of the inheritance need to pay the taxes within nine months. If they cannot pay, they can apply for an extension of six months. If not, the court will auction off the inheritance one after another..."

"But that's only for adults, not for you."

"Because you were a minor when you became the heir, if you go directly to the orphanage, you will go through the process of nine plus six. The federal agency will help you inherit the inheritance, but you were adopted by us, so there is a Questions of succession by proxy of guardians."

"For artificial adoption, there is a possibility that an adopter may cheat the inheritance, so there is a waiting period. After the process is completed, the court will auction it, and then deduct taxes, pay off the debt, and you will inherit the rest."

"That is to say, you are so famous now that the judges feel that it is impossible for me to cheat your parents' inheritance, because you can get more by cultivating you, otherwise, it will take a while..."

Roland is not interested in understanding the complicated legal provisions.

All he knew was that the money that belonged to him had not gone away after all.

"How much in total?" Roland asked with a wry smile.

"One point seven left." David sighed.

"Is this the number after deducting half?" Roland was a little surprised.

Since Cheap Daddy and David are partners, his property should be about the same as David's, and David in his previous life can ignore his daughter's 1.5 billion company, which proves that no matter how small his property is , and it will not be too different from 1.5 billion.

Of course, considering that 1.5 billion is the number after the millennium, so...

How do you calculate, you still have a net worth of one billion!

“No, it’s the amount that’s deducted in half, and then after repaying the bank loan and what’s owed.”

"People in our industry always ask for bank loans. As long as you have a house in hand, you must have high debts."

Hearing what David said, Roland understood.

Although it is not high turnover, everyone's situation is similar.

The sudden arrival of seven o'clock also made Roland a little speechless. If he had been more than 30 months earlier, he would have stopped filming.

Now!

Filming makes more money!

As for the extra money...

"David."

"Um?"

"Invest in the company and continue to buy Berkshire."

"No problem, but... their total share capital is only more than one million shares, and you have already bought more than 10,000 shares."

"If it's hard to buy, it's hard to buy. There are still tradable shares, not to mention buying his stocks, that is, making that kind of loan."

"Well, you are right..."

Buffett’s stock is hard currency, and it can be used as a pledge loan whenever there is a shortage of money.

And the interest rate of the loan is not as fast as that of other people's stocks!

If you are really short of money, once you enter and exit, it is equivalent to using part of the increase to repay the interest on the loan, and you have extra money!

It sounds vulgar, but as long as you can use other people's money to make money for yourself in the easiest way, what's the point of being vulgar?

As long as you can't do without whole grains, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, you can't get rid of the vulgar!

After taking a photo, his net worth more than doubled. These two small things really couldn't have much impact on Roland.

You put 170 million in front of him, he might be as excited as Wang Duoyu, but the numbers...

Lao Tzu is someone who has swum in the sea of ??books written by Dian Niang!

This small amount of money, well... this beep still can’t be installed, after all, this amount is more than half.

...

After March, nothing major happened in April, and in mid-May, the Secretary of Defense of America declared: The era of "Star Wars" is over-even if you are angry, this non-existent plan will not crawl the bear from the grave.

On the 24th of that month, the news that "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or in Cannes also spread. In the same year, two films of the same type were released in a row, and all the pressure was placed on Venice. If Venice chooses another one of the same type, That…

There is a good show to watch.

It's a pity that these things are not very important to Roland.

Take speaking class and fitness class. Although the guitar has been lost for a long time, it is the same to pick it up and continue playing.

When everyone was on vacation, he didn't stay at home. With the economic foundation, he pursued the superstructure, fishing, playing football, camping in the wild and climbing mountains. He even learned a little golf and horsemanship. It's a pity. …

The state is not enough, and I can't appreciate the charm.

But he does know one thing.

He can no longer feel the days when he is young and has leisure but no money, and when he is old and has money and no leisure.

Hey, what a pity...

Of course, while he was regretting, the time quietly came to June.

The slowly rising temperature is just like people's expectations. When the logo of the dinosaur skeleton spread throughout America through major TV stations, Ang Tian roared, as if it happened right next to his ears...

Note: ① Inheritance tax is very annoying. Normally it is 9+6, that is, after the heir of the inheritance is determined, the inheritance tax should be paid within nine months. If there is no money, it can be postponed for up to six months, which is fifteen months. And there are special loans that can help people solve problems. However, in the 1968 "U.S. Uniform Inheritance Code" that I read, there is a problem with intestate inheritance and estate management. If the heir is a minor , and there is no relative adoption, when entering the orphanage, it will take the road of court auction, but if it is adopted, it will involve the issue of a guardian's proxy inheritance. Since the minor's signature has no legal effect, there is a large amount of inheritance. The adoption of a child will involve the issue of defrauding the inheritance. I have Googled cases, and some said that the money cannot be cheated. It is only a few hundred a month, and it can only be inherited when it is an adult. When I turned to the tax-free privilege loophole in 2010, I found the case of Dan Duncan, an American energy tycoon, which mentioned the situation of subrogation and only one person left. In addition to the auction process and the type of inheritance, the real delay can be longer, and there are still 20 houses before, which cannot be inherited for two years, so the time in the article is 30+, of course, this is my own raw meat In this case, there must be a BUG. Personally, I can accept this BUG. Don’t write about Hollywood when you have money in the first place. Now it’s filling in holes. If I’m wrong, you are welcome to point it out.
