Chapter 176 Chapter 172 Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills can be said to be the wealthiest area in Los Angeles. There are many luxury stores in the world, as well as the top restaurants. It is not too far from the beach line.

This place is located on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. Early in the morning, John brought Lin Chu and Lin Qingxia here, accompanied by Gao Wu and female bodyguards.

John found a real estate agent, a very clever white guy, there are quite a few houses listed here, and there are three houses that meet the requirements, one big and two smaller.

Of course, the smaller one is not too small, it is more than 300 square meters, and the agent kept introducing: "Sir, madam, the owner of this house is very tasteful, a gentleman from England.

By the way, there is a big star in the showbiz living next door. You should know that there is no shortage of stars in Hollywood. You can invite them to your home. "

The location of this house is not bad, it is a little bigger than Lin Chu's villa in the middle of the Xiangjiang River. It is equipped with a swimming pool, and the surrounding environment is excellent and quite secluded.

Lin Chu glanced at Lin Qingxia, and she said excitedly, "Look at the remaining two sets."

Among the three villas, two are located on the northern side of Sunset Boulevard, and the largest one is located in the west, near the top of the mountain, overlooking the villa area with layers of rising and falling.

The agent was very excited: "Sir, madam, this place covers an area of ​​twelve acres, with a total of eleven rooms. The garden is too big, and there are squirrels in the yard. Look, there are almost extinct North American chestnut trees planted there. And hazel."

"What a big house!" Lin Qingxia praised.

Lin Chu glanced at John, and he quickly said, "How much is this set?"

"600 million US dollars!" The agent nodded, and then said seriously: "Madam, this house is worth the price."

John opened his eyes wide and looked dissatisfied: "600 million US dollars? Are you sure? This is a truly sky-high price!"

The 1980 million in 600 is naturally a real sky-high price. This year, the United States ushered in an economic crisis, and it was relatively serious, so stagflation formed, and the house could not be sold for much, so the house in Beverly Hills came out. more.

"400 million dollars!" John stretched out his hand, said seriously, and then changed the topic: "You can contact the owner of the house, and if you agree, we can trade directly!"

In this year, the median salary in the United States was $30, so the purchasing power was naturally poor, but the houses had risen astonishingly. Thirty years later, a house in Beverly Hills would cost almost $3000 million.

So 400 million US dollars is already a sky-high price, and even a middle-income person can't afford it after working for 100 years.

The intermediary gritted his teeth and said, "Sir and Madam, please wait for me, I will contact the owner right away."

He entered the house, and Lin Qingxia walked around with great interest. The swimming pool here is very beautiful and large, surrounded by trees, covering the entire villa. There are eleven rooms, thirteen bathrooms, The living room on the first floor is huge.

There are two ancillary buildings around, which should be prepared for servants. The whole is very beautiful. There are indeed squirrels jumping around in the woods, revealing the tranquility.

"Husband, this house still needs to be renovated after we buy it, but it doesn't need to be too complicated. It can be lived in after a little tidying up, but the furniture needs to be bought again." Lin Qingxia looked at Lin Chu with bright eyes.

Lin Chu smiled: "You like it, don't you? Then you can live here later."

"I always want to accompany you!" Lin Qingxia replied.

The agent came back in a hurry, walked up to Lin Chu and said, "Sir and Madam, the other party agreed, and they made an appointment to come over tomorrow to sign the contract, and you need to pay the tax."

"No problem!" Lin Chu nodded.

Lin Qingxia cheered, and the agent also had a bright face. For such a house, he could get [-] US dollars.

After leaving Beverly Hills, Lin Qingxia went back to the hotel to rest, but Lin Chu went to Hollywood to register a company and find actors.

The ideal actor in his mind should not be too old, preferably in his early 20s, with a good image and certain acting skills.

It is very convenient to register a company. If you are looking for actors, he asked John to help post advertisements on the roadside.

In fact, the best way is to find them through a brokerage company. CAA, WMA, and ICM have all been established. These are the top brokerage companies, especially WMA. Clark Gable and Marlon Brando are also their actors.

But their asking price is too high, Lin Chu still wants to save costs, so it is more appropriate to find it by himself.

The company is renting in an office building not far from Hollywood Hills. The area is not big, and the rent is not too expensive, [-] US dollars a year. There are no suitable employees yet, and he plans to recruit a few people in the United States.

After the company's license was issued, Lin Chu had already interviewed more than a dozen actors, but the actors were not found, but the office staff found two people, and managed to get the company started.

Lin Chu was a little tired. He felt that he still had to send some people from Xiangjiang to take care of Shuangmu Pictures, and he found someone who could speak English.

At this moment, he inexplicably thought of Tang Shuxuan. She is a talented woman, and she should be suitable for some situations in the United States. It just so happens that her husband is also in the United States, which may be an opportunity.

Just as he was about to call Xiangjiang back, a blond woman in a long white dress came in and said softly, "Boss, there is an actor interviewing outside."

"Please come in, Jane!" Lin Chu waved his hand, feeling a little weak.

Jane is his newly recruited office worker. She graduated from Southern University and was supposed to enter the eight major film companies, but she looks a little scary. There is a big red birthmark on her right face, which affects her employment.

In fact, she is quite talented. Lin Chu chatted with her and asked her to be the production manager, and a woman named Jones was her assistant.

Jane is 22 years old this year. She is about 1.7 meters tall. She is very thin and weighs 55 kilograms.

Jones was born in 62. She graduated from high school. She is very smart, fat and round, 1.6 meters five, and weighs 65 kilograms.

"Boss, you must have confidence in the future!" Jane smiled, her teeth were neat and white.

Lin Chu straightened her waist and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and invite people in."

Jane smiled slightly, her eyes were a little playful, her facial features were really good, Lin Chu felt that if the birthmark was removed, she should be very beautiful.

Plastic surgery in the United States has been very successful this year. Jane also went to consult before, but it cost [-] US dollars for the operation, so she gave up.

She came to work in such an unremarkable small company as Shuangmu Films. In her own words, she mainly wanted to make money. She saved a sum of money for plastic surgery, and she would definitely leave in the future.

Lin Chu doesn't care either. If Shuangmu Films can't grow, it won't be able to retain such talents. After all, USC's film art major ranks first in the United States, and the people who can pass the exam are quite qualified.

He offered Jane a salary of [-] U.S. dollars a year, and Jane was very satisfied, and she was conscientious in doing things.
