Hollywood is a good place. Last night, Lin Yu really felt this.
Just an advertising video broadcast to the world helped him find love.
After a burst of wild applause, Lin Yu was finally satisfied.
But what he didn't expect was that he actually drank the head soup of 19-year-old Amber Heard.
In fact, he had already guessed something, because Amber acted very unfamiliar when she used her mouth in the car. Combined with the test of real guns and live ammunition at night, his guess was confirmed.
After shooting Under Armor's first promotional video, Lin Yu's trip to Los Angeles has basically come to an end.
Before Christmas Eve, he sent away Amber who was going home to reunite. The short world between the two of them ended like this. Lin Yu also made an agreement with Amber. After Christmas, Amber went to Boston to find her.
he.
On Christmas Eve, Lin Yu didn't visit Brian Scalabrian's home in Long Beach. It wasn't that he didn't want to disturb him, but he was really busy.
Early in the morning, after calculating the time difference, Lin Yu made a phone call to his hometown and his parents in this life.
"Hey, Dad, it's me, Dayu."
"Dayu, your mother and I are traveling in Italy. What are you doing on the phone? If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. Your mother wants to take pictures."
"..."
The day after the time travel, Lin Yu called his parents in this life and had a conversation, which was considered a test.
He didn't show anything strange, so he had confirmed his new identity.
After that, every few days, Lin Yu would talk to his father and mother Lin on the phone to exchange feelings.
Lin's father is a retired basketball player, and Lin's mother is a retired volleyball player. Neither of them has played for the national team, so they are relatively well-known athletes.
After retiring, he joined the Sports Bureau and got promoted. Lin Yu terminated his contract with the Sports Bureau. Lin's father and Lin's mother also contributed.
After Lin Yu made a lot of money, Lin's father and mother retired and traveled around the world every day.
This is what Lin Yu meant. He didn't want his parents to stay in China because the domestic public opinion environment was so bad and he was afraid of affecting his parents.
"What, Dad, I asked my cousin to learn English some time ago, has he learned it?"
"Because of this, I don't know the specific situation. You can just call Shenzhen and ask. Okay, I'll hang up now. Your mother urged you."
"Dududu..."
Lin Yu was speechless for a while. He looked through the communication and found Lin Shencheng's phone number.
"Hey, Shen Shen? It's me, Dayu."
Lin Yushen, Lin Yu's uncle's cousin, graduated from a second-rate domestic university with a major in accounting. A few days after Lin Yu traveled through time, he asked his close relatives to learn English and prepare to go abroad.
Now, Lin Yu wanted to register an offshore company in the Virgin Islands and needed a person in charge. Lin Shencheng, who had just learned English and had a relatively low level of education, came in handy.
"Dayu, I'm in night school, yes, learning English."
"How are you studying?"
"You can already have basic communication. You know, your brother and I passed CET-6 in English when we were in college, so we already have a certain foundation."
"Okay, you go through the formalities as soon as possible and go abroad. I will register an offshore company in the Virgin Islands. You will be the person in charge of this company by then."
Lin Yu made the decision, and Lin Shencheng on the other side of the phone was also very happy: "Okay, I'll go through the formalities tomorrow."
After confirming the person in charge of the offshore company, Lin Yu could start taking action. He directly booked a ticket and flew to New York that night.
In New York, Lin Yu met with the assistant sent by Jeff Schwartz and got into a Toyota commercial vehicle.
"Mr. Lin, the investment broker you want and the consulting team for registering offshore companies have been contacted. Do you want to go there now?"
Lin Yu raised his hand and glanced at the time. It was five o'clock in the evening, and in two hours it would be dinner time on Christmas Eve.
"Come over now? Doesn't the investment broker you're looking for spend Christmas Eve?"
The person who came to pick up Lin Yu was an Indian-American. This guy would definitely not be able to celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but most of the white-collar workers on Wall Street were white, and the majority of the white people were Jewish. These people would definitely not be able to celebrate Christmas Eve.
and Christmas.
"Of course they have to spend Christmas Eve, but if business comes, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day won't matter."
Lin Yu understood what the assistant meant, but he still waved his hand: "Forget it, let's go to the hotel to rest first."
After a night's rest in the hotel, the assistant sent by Jeff Schwartz arrived at the hotel early the next day, picked up Lin Yu, and went straight to the Manor Hotel in Lower Manhattan.
This Manor Hotel in Manhattan is located outside the downtown area. The environment is very quiet. Under the shady trees, cars drive into the front porch of the hotel.
As soon as Lin Yu got out of the car, he met the investment broker recommended to him by Jeff Schwartz. He was an extremely strong bald mixed-race man who looked like he could not be associated with the words "Wall Street white-collar worker".
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Spencer Strathmore, a partner at Anderson Investment and Financial Management."
The assistant sent by Jeff Schwartz also got out of the car. He handed the car keys to the waiter, and then further introduced Lin Yu to Spencer Strasmore in front of him.
"Spencer is a retired football star player, and the Anderson Investment and Financial Management Company he works for is a financial management company on Wall Street that was converted to serve sports athletes..."
Lin Yu shook hands with Spencer. After the introduction by Jeff Schwartz's assistant, he understood that Spencer should be a person who uses his contacts in the sports world to get clients.
"Hello, Mr. Strathmore."
Then, Jeff Schwartz's assistant introduced Lin Yu: "Spencer, this is Mr. Lin Yu. Lin is the swingman of the Celtics in the NBA and a Chinese basketball player.
I don’t need to say more about how high its commercial value is.”
Spencer nodded and immediately made a gesture of invitation, and Lin Yu stepped into the door of the manor hotel.
In the open-air restaurant on the second floor, the three of them each ordered some drinks and sat down to chat. The topic was naturally related to Lin Yu's property management and investment matters, which was today's theme.
"Mr. Lin's current contract with the Celtics is still a basic salary, but he has just signed a three-year sneaker endorsement contract with Under Armour, and has also been endorsed by Coca-Cola in China. His commercial value is even higher than ordinary
All American NBA star players are taller."
"And, with his outstanding performance this season, his salary in the next contract may be very high."
The assistant sent by Jeff Schwartz continued to introduce Lin Yu's specific situation. At the same time, Lin Yu also learned about the specific situation of the investment and financing company where Spencer worked.
"Anderson Investment and Financial Management specializes in serving athletes. Currently, our main clients are NFL star players. As for the NBA, we also have several star clients, such as Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haas of the Miami Heat.
Lem."
Spencer introduced himself, and the assistant sent by Jeff Schwartz helped explain: "Spencer retired from the Miami Dolphins of the NFL, so he has a wide network of contacts in Miami."
"Okay, I understand, so what is the specific cooperation model?"
Lin Yu asked a question, and Spencer responded: "We will take over the management of all properties under your name, including your real estate and various fixed assets. The convenience you can get from this is that you can know at any time
The price changes of major real estate markets or fixed assets in the United States will help you make a judgment on whether to buy or sell these assets."
"We will also send professionals to evaluate all your assets and help you sort out some unhealthy assets to maximize the value of your assets."
"In addition, we will also invest your liquidity in the Wall Street securities market according to your requirements and operate in a prudent manner to ensure that we will not lose money."
"Finally, our charging method is a fixed annual management fee, plus a share of investment income."
Lin Yu nodded. He had a general understanding of the operation of this Wall Street investment and financing company. It was basically the same as finding a stockbroker, and then added the function of managing property, which was a bit like a personal butler.
Lin Yu can also understand the significance of the existence of such companies
Some black sports stars spend money too lavishly. Not only do they spend lavishly, but they may also have a group of relatives and friends behind them to spend lavishly. It is very easy for them to go bankrupt. At this time, this type of investment and financial management companies come in handy.
Lin Yu also learned about the specific charges. The fixed charges were high and the revenue sharing was low.
He thought about it for a while and felt that he really needed such an investment and financial management company. It was not because he was afraid of going bankrupt, but because in the future, he would definitely expand his various industries at an extremely fast speed. He alone
But I am too busy and I really need some help, and it is helper who has a wide network of contacts in the United States.
"Do you have a drafted contract? Show it to me first."
Spencer directly handed over a thin yellow page, which was the contract they had drawn up in advance.
Lin Yu browsed it roughly and found that there was no problem. He took out his signature pen and signed his name.
"Thank you, Lin, and wish us a happy cooperation!"
Spencer opened his arms, laughed and hugged Lin Yu.
In the following time, Spencer learned about Lin Yu's current asset structure.
After signing the Under Armor sneaker contract, Lin Yu directly received US$2 million in endorsement fees in the first year. After deducting 49.4% of various expenses, Lin Yu received US$988,000, plus the amount from the Chinese restaurant chain.
The endorsement fee is exactly 1 million US dollars.
Lin Yu's bank account still contains the money he earned in the past few years, totaling 570,000 US dollars. Some of the money was transferred to Lin's father and Lin's mother. Lin Yu doesn't know how much is left.
In other words, Lin Yu’s current liquidity is as high as US$1.57 million.
In terms of fixed assets, he has a single-family apartment in Boston and two villas in China. These are all the assets currently in Lin Yu's hands.
Spencer, who understood all the assets in Lin Yu's hands, gave a thumbs up: "Your assets are very healthy. You don't have consumer goods like cars or women, but it's not a good idea to have such a large amount of money lying in the bank.
I will help you take it out as soon as possible and invest it in Nasdaq."
Lin Yu smiled and then mentioned another thing from this trip: "The tax rate in the United States is really too high. I am going to register an offshore company in the Virgin Islands to avoid taxes reasonably. This matter should also be handled by your company."
Is it within the service range?”
"Of course, leave this matter to us. We can definitely get it done within a month at most."
