unofficial hollywood life

"Then let's go and have a look together later." Diana nodded and said lightly.

It's as if she's talking about an ordinary house instead of a Silicon Valley luxury villa.

But this is really not an important issue for her current situation. The real problem lies with the IRS.

The money earned in the Gulf War before, in addition to redeeming his various equity copyrights and investing in "Good Night, Hudson", the rest has been staying in the account of the stock exchange It's not moving!

The reason is that damn tax season!You have to pay taxes to redeem your property, who can justify this shit?

But Diana can't help it. When money is turned into stocks, it doesn't need to be plundered by the IRS. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many financial tycoons who exchanged their money into stocks. Isn't Mr. Buffett the famous person? Did you do that?However, when the funds become liquid money, taxes are generated. In order to avoid the money being plundered by the IRS, she can only find ways to avoid taxes.Investment is a very good way, so she did not hesitate to throw a sum of money into Hollywood, and there is no need to declare tax before the money does not generate profits; and a better tax avoidance method than investment is shopping, especially real estate. This kind of thing can really offset a considerable part of the tax money. Although the house has to pay taxes every year is also a very troublesome thing, but compared to the tax money of hundreds of millions, Diana is decisive. Still chose the former.

"I want to be an investor with an incubator." Facing Mr. Cruise's question, Diana answered like this.

The so-called incubators are those houses in Silicon Valley that are free for young entrepreneurs to live in. They can indulge themselves in this villa with luxurious facilities, as long as their ideas are valuable.The landlord of the house will automatically receive a part of the value brought by their business after they succeed in the future.Many rich people with houses in Silicon Valley made their fortunes in this way. It sounds unbelievable and miraculous, but it really exists, and there are quite a few of them.

More than 20 years later, there was an American drama showing the lives of people in Silicon Valley. The landlord who rented the house to a group of young people for free and got a part of the company's shares was a direct manifestation of this kind of incubator.

Diana would not dream that she would be so lucky and directly upgrade to a large incubator company like pnp or yg, but as an investment, the real estate in Silicon Valley is also very valuable, and she can live there Rent it out, and when you sell it, you will make another sum of money. Compared with these things, house tax is really nothing.

"Maybe the next Bill Gates will be hatched?" she pouts.

That made Tom twitch the corners of his mouth.

And Bill Gates, your brain is about to break through the sky, with Bill Gates' background, who would go to Silicon Valley to live in other people's free houses?Can people pay the rent by themselves?

"Hey, stop daydreaming in broad daylight." He patted Diana's hair helplessly and said.

There is only one person like Bill Gates in an era, and Microsoft has already shown a monopoly trend. How can it be so easy to have another one?Besides, even if there was, how could it be possible to live in Diana's house?

Tom sighed, and could only say that his girlfriend was indeed a writer of novels, and writers had big brains and dared to think about anything.

"Ahh—" Diana replied by grabbing the hand above her head and biting it.

Can't you encourage them?She ground her teeth on Tom's palm and glared at her boyfriend angrily.

It's so annoying that her boyfriend always likes to hit her!

I bite, I bite, I bite, I bite!Diana thought bitterly, and gnawed a few more tooth marks on Mr. Cruise's hand.

"You know that even Rhea wouldn't do this kind of thing?" Tom frowned twice, and Tom felt that he had suffered an unwarranted disaster.

He was obviously telling the truth, or was he talking about Diana's menstrual period?But it's not right, he clearly remembered that her cycle was not in these few days.Or was it stimulated by Mel?When the two of them met last time, they wanted to cut each other with a knife... Tom thought about it, and felt that this was very possible, and firmly refused to admit that Diana was so angry because of him.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." I won't be fooled by you!

Diana was still biting Tom's hand, her eyes were full of complacency.

"Okay, honey." Tom shrugged, smiling and saying it was all right.

Then pinched Diana's nose.

"Ah, you're cheating!" Diana, whose nose was pinched and unable to breathe, was forced to let go of her mouth, and said resentfully.

It's like this every time, and you will come up with this trick. Do you call Tang a trick?

Chick Morgan pouted, expressing that she was very angry.

"Well, I'm cheating, what do you want to do with me?" Tom admitted his behavior very simply, and put on a look of being at the mercy of me.

I'm cheating, but I'm up to you.Boyfriend's posture is still very low, coaxing girlfriend, he can 'sacrifice' a lot~

This kind of coquettish operation directly made the real estate agent who had been regarded as an invisible person almost vomit blood.

Hey, hey, Xiu Enai is not so beautiful, there is still a big living person here, don't pretend that I don't exist, okay?

The poor middle-aged man touched his bald head and felt that life is really difficult. If he wants to sell a house, he will be forced to feed him dog food. Is there any reason?

Really, I know that this kind of big star is unreliable, life is like acting in a TV series, there is no doubt that he has an acting personality!

He completely forgot that he thought these were two good customers before.

In fact, they are really nice.

After negotiating with Mr. Cruise and getting the other party to make a lot of humiliating agreements, Diana finally refocused on the real estate agent with satisfaction, "This is the apartment."

However, before the other party was happy to settle a deal, Miss Morgan said another sentence, "But the price is still too expensive, and this location is not in the center of Beverly Hills... "

From the location of the house to the shape of the building to the style of decoration to future renovations... Diana was just picky in a critical way and bargained wildly.

The real estate agent broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as if he was facing a wild beast, and the opponent was pressing every step of the way, and he would not give him a retreat at all.

"Okay, that's it. We'll sign the contract after seeing the villas in Silicon Valley!" Diana, who finally got a satisfactory price, smiled and snapped her fingers. The slightest mismatch, the whole person is ooc!

And Mr. Cruise, who watched a price bargaining battle, silently gave his girlfriend a thumbs up.

At first, I thought that if Diana was too embarrassed to bargain, he would come to help, but I didn't expect that his girlfriend's bargaining level is also first-rate, and she really deserves to be a top novel author!

???

What kind of weird thinking is this?Does bargaining have anything to do with the author of the novel?Or is it that this guy's nerves are not normal after spending a long time with a person who often lets his brains go wild?

But no matter what, Diana, who settled the place of residence, took Mr. Cruise and rushed to Silicon Valley.

The apartment is just a small one. As Diana said, this house is not on the top of Beverly Hills, nor is it a large single-family villa, so it doesn't cost much.The place that really needs to spend money is Silicon Valley, where the housing prices have never been low, not to mention that what she wants to buy is a single-family villa, which will cost even more money.

But for real estate agents, Diana is indeed a quality client.Not every real estate agent can complete such a big deal in one day. The bald man who doesn't know whether he shaved it off or lost it himself felt that his premonition just now was indeed correct, and today's luck is indeed good.

"What kind of villa are you going to buy?" Diana and Tom were also talking behind while the real estate agent led the way.

"Well, it's probably a medium-sized one, the kind that can hold a party of dozens of people." Diana said after thinking about it.

She actually doesn't know enough about the lives of programmers, and her biggest impression comes from the famous "Divorce" movie, in which Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker lived in the villa in Silicon Valley.

Unless it reaches the level of the later face, otherwise, a villa that can accommodate dozens of people to hold a party should be enough.And if it really reached that level, who would live here?People already have their own villas.

In the end, she didn't actually have any hope that she could really find someone with investment potential, which was just a kind of thinking of a real estate speculator.If you can earn it, you can earn it, and if you can’t, it doesn’t matter. It will still appreciate in value after a few years, because this is Silicon Valley, a well-known high-consumption area, and you will never have to worry about house prices here falling.

It was as if her tiny Palo Alto apartment was worth a lot more now than when she bought it two years ago.

This is also the reason why she doesn't plan to buy those super luxurious large villas. They are too expensive and it will be difficult to sell them. Economical and practical is the last word.

"I don't know much about this, do you want to consult a professional?" After listening to Diana's words, Tom felt that she was really thinking about what to do, and she was completely unprepared.
