Chapter 275 $1800

Ask secretary Amanda to act as an agent and contact the British company Burberry to inquire about endorsements and fees.

After the two parties communicated, the results came soon.

Su Rui asked in surprise:

"Give me 600 million US dollars a year and sign for a total of three years? The endorsement fee is not much different from what I expected, but if you directly endorse it for three years, the total amount will go up all of a sudden. It's really exciting. This company is really great. Sincerity.”

Secretary Amanda was about to cry with envy.

This is really a person sitting at home, having bread come from heaven, and being begged by others to receive a large sum of money.

As a top celebrity, he can make money very quickly. Being a spokesperson or something like that is almost like picking up money for a celebrity.

Actors also need to spend time filming over and over again and memorizing lines. To endorse products, just take some time to shoot posters, shoot advertisements, and support activities. Use your own influence to make money. This money is really easy to come by.

Fortunately, Suri has always made a lot of money, which has made her numb over time. Secretary Amanda smiled and told:
"I suggest you take this endorsement and find a way to operate it through the company to turn it into legal overseas income. As long as you don't repatriate the money to the United States, you will never have to pay taxes in the United States."

In this era, it is a routine practice for American companies and wealthy people to hide their non-U.S. income abroad to legally avoid taxes.

For example, Apple has long been exploiting loopholes in tax rates between different countries and regions to avoid taxes, lowering the tax rate from the federally mandated 35% to around 20%.

This is an open secret, and like using charitable trusts to avoid estate taxes, no one dares to touch it yet.

Suri knew he would make a fortune since he was a child, so before starting his business, he registered all his businesses in overseas tax havens, which saved him tens of millions of dollars in taxes over the years.

The endorsement fees allow accounting firms to find ways to avoid a large amount of personal tax expenses.

Snapping her fingers to express her approval, Suri continued to ask:

"Also, if I accept this endorsement, what will I need to do for Burberry in the future? If it's too much trouble, forget it. It will be very embarrassing to be ordered around."

A full 1800 million US dollars can buy a very nice mansion in Beverly Hills. Compared with Suri's face... Of course, Suri's face is more important.

With his current influence, he would probably earn more than $1800 million from any business. It would be embarrassing to serve as a mascot for others, so it is necessary to ask in advance.

Secretary Amanda shook her head and replied:

"No, no, no, you only need to attend fashion week once a year and attend events held by Burberry. In addition, there are two video advertisements every year and some posters for new products."

"These are all very simple, aren't they? The only troublesome thing is that during this period, boss, you can only wear Burberry windbreakers, shirts, suits, etc. when attending any formal occasions during your endorsement period."

"The good news is that you don't have to spend money to buy clothes. They are all provided by their company. It only takes a few days every year to get everything done. Those British guys shouldn't dare to offend you. I will arrange a lawyer to sort out all the details." Put it in writing in the contract..."

Even though Secretary Amanda is usually very laid-back, she is particularly smart and capable when working.

She helped with the errands, and Suri felt relieved.

Taking out a cigar from the cigar box, Su Rui nodded and said calmly:
"As long as there aren't many things to do, it's no problem. I happen to be short of cash. When the time comes, I will use it with the money I earn from selling records to invest in my private film company. This is all hard-earned money, and I hope I don't lose it by then. "

The income earned from stock trading is basically the same as that earned by a strong wind, while singing, endorsements, etc. require personal labor.To say it is "hard-earned money" is correct from a certain perspective.

Secretary Amanda says:
"Okay, I will continue to discuss with them. When you become the spokesperson, remember to help me get some discounts. If you can buy some high-end customized new models at a low price, that will be even better."

Suri just smiled and said:
"I hope that the men's clothing of this brand in the next three years will not be too ugly, otherwise the company's sales will not increase, and the blame will fall on my head, which will affect the financial future..."

The reason why Burberry asked Suri to be its spokesperson was mainly because he attracted widespread attention when he was promoting the YOYO brand in Milan some time ago, and the effect was quite good.

Not only that, he is also very influential among young people, with constant hot topics and a relatively trendy image.

At present, France and Italy are relatively famous for their luxury goods. Large groups such as LVMH and PPR have been formed through acquisitions and financing. British luxury brands, like the automobile industry, have fallen into recession and are no longer prosperous.

So Burberry took a different approach this time and unexpectedly chose Suri to be its global spokesperson.

As one of Silicon Valley's super rich.

Suri's fame as a star is far greater than that of a businessman in the world. Just like California Governor Schwarzenegger, he is still regarded as an actor.

Since he is a celebrity and there is no big conflict of interest, it seems reasonable to find Suri as his spokesperson.

……

The process of registering a film and television company was smoother than expected.

It was outsourced to a third-party company, but Suri didn't worry from the beginning to the end.

As early as half a month ago, he hired several screenwriters and asked them to create the script of "Death is Coming" according to the outline he provided.

As for "Inception", which was approved earlier, it can only be said that director Christopher Nolan is striving for perfection and is still slowly polishing the script. Shooting will not officially begin until all preparations are completed.

It’s better to prepare more carefully.

The total budget of "Death Comes" was tentatively set by Suri at US$1000 million, while the estimated production cost of "Inception" is estimated to be ten times that, requiring at least US$[-] million.

Among them, the salary given to Li Zi will cost 2000 million US dollars.

So much so that Suri occasionally felt pain in her body and thought about enrolling in an acting training class and participating in the show herself, which would happen to be her chance to star with Daddario.

When it comes to box office appeal, it may be even higher than that of Leonardo DiCaprio.

Not only does Suri feel that his appearance has collapsed and he has lost the charm of the pretty boy when he played "Titanic", but DiCaprio's female fans have also lost their fans one after another and deliberately ignored him when mentioning the handsome Hollywood guy.

If Suri himself stars, it will at least attract a large number of young people to enter the cinema to seek novelties, and the overseas box office in Asia is very guaranteed.

It's a pity that the filming period of the movie is too long, and Suri is not very interested in acting. He just made a guest appearance in the drama, and never thought about changing his career to become an actor...
