Chapter 276 Just want the body, not the feelings
Li Jiaxin's decisiveness finally aroused the curiosity of the other girls.
Or maybe they needed a stepping stone, so after Wan Qiwen also picked up the contract and looked at it.
The others picked it up too.
After just a few glances, Wan Qiwen exclaimed softly.
Because according to the benefits and content above, it can be said that it is almost dozens of times more than the years when she was popular on ATV.
It says above that during the term of the contract.
They can receive living expenses ranging from US$500,000 to US$1 million per month.
According to the exchange rate between US dollars and Hong Kong dollars, that is approximately 3.75 million to 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars.
And Wan Qiwen originally filmed TV dramas for ATV. When she was at her most popular, she could earn NT$500,000 for each drama.
And it usually takes two or three months to shoot, and sometimes you get injured.
Now, even if she doesn't do anything, she can still earn at least three million a month! Then, she noticed the benefits mentioned in the contract.
It states that during the term of the contract, they can use the many real estate properties purchased by Paladin Investment in Hong Kong for free.
Seeing this, Wan Qiwen couldn't help but look up at the two female lawyers, "Two lawyers, what does this mean?"
Luo Peifang walked over and took a look, smiling, "Literally. Ms. Liu has the specific property list."
Wan Qiwen then looked at Liu Li, who said expressionlessly, "My boss, Mr. Blackburn, has invested nearly 2 billion US dollars in Hong Kong in the past half month. He has purchased a total of 135 houses. If you sign a contract and these houses are not rented out, then you have the right to use these houses for free."
Two billion dollars, 135 houses? Wan Qiwen was confused and asked, "Can you be more specific?"
"They are all luxury houses, located in places like Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay, Victoria Peak, Beacon Hill and Big Wave Bay." Liu Li still had no expression on her face.
At this time, the younger female lawyer, Luo Peifang, smiled and said, "I wonder if you have seen the news that the Ho family sold one of their ancestral homes on Barker Road a while ago?"
Wan Qiwen shook her head, but Li Jiaxin said, "Is it the 12 Barker Road that is worth at least 200 million Hong Kong dollars?"
"Yes." Luo Peifang smiled, "Mr. Blackburn spent 150 million Hong Kong dollars to buy this property from the He family."
Barker Road in Hong Kong is a two-lane, two-way carriageway.
Buses and minibuses are never allowed to pass through. The main entrances of the houses along the route are not on the roadside and are connected by elevated ramps.
There is a security guard at the intersection, and a notice is posted on the iron gate saying "Private area, vicious dogs present".
This is a high-end residential area with a very high degree of privacy in Hong Kong Island.
Looking southwards, you can see the Lion Pavilion on Victoria Peak. Looking northwards, you can overlook Victoria Harbour and both sides of Central and Tsim Sha Tsui.
Located at the top of the mountain, below the fog line, most of the owners are of prominent status.
It can be said to be the best location among Hong Kong’s mid-level villas.
Luo Peifang kindly reminded, "The 135 houses purchased by Mr. Blackburn are all houses with interiors as good as or better than 12 Barker Road. He is obviously very optimistic about the future appreciation potential of high-end real estate in Hong Kong Island, so he invested so much money."
"Give me the pen!"
At this time, Li Jiaxin said it again almost decisively.
She wants to sign.
Because Li Jiaxin feels that the person who signs the contract first has the right to choose these luxury houses to live in first, isn’t that too much?
Bai Jiadao, she must move in! "Okay." Lawyer Luo Peifang came over with a smile, handed the pen to Li Jiaxin, and guided her to sign the contract.
"Michelle, won't you reconsider it?" Qiu Shuzhen, who was standing next to her, put down the contract and couldn't help but look at Li Jiaxin who was signing the contract.
Her relationship with Li Jiaxin was average, and they had only nodded to each other before.
Plus, both of them happened to break up this year, so they had common topics.
So during the time Milo stayed in Hong Kong Island, they actually became good friends and besties.
Seeing Li Jiaxin start signing the contract without hesitation, Qiu Shuzhen couldn't help but whispered.
"What is there to consider?" Li Jiaxin raised her head and pointed to the terms in the contract. "It's for ten years. I'll only be thirty-seven years old in ten years. And look here, five hundred thousand dollars a month for living expenses in the first five years. One million dollars a month for living expenses in the next five years! If you have children, it will be doubled on this basis!"
"Chingmy! How much do we get for filming a movie? Now we don't have to do anything, and we can get paid for filming two movies every month! Why don't you sign it?"
Qiu Shuzhen also noticed these terms, and to be honest, she was also tempted.
"But... but after signing the contract, there are a lot of restrictions. You can't have a boyfriend anymore, and you can't be too intimate with men. You have to be available at his beck and call, and you have to give birth to his children..."
"Tsk tsk..." Li Jiaxin, who was still signing, didn't even raise her head, but said contemptuously, "Chingmy, with all these, do we still need a boyfriend? We just need to please him! As for being available at any time, isn't that what being kept means? Just give birth to the child, and the living expenses will be doubled after the birth!"
Qiu Shuzhen was speechless.
What Li Jiaxin said is very realistic, but the reality is that these material conditions are indeed extremely tempting.
She lives in a big house on Barker Road, has a monthly household allowance of several million, and has servants and bodyguards. They also say that if she wants to continue filming, she will have to play supporting roles in at least two Hollywood movies or TV series a year.
And he is now the real boss of ATV. A few days ago, the news said that ATV had been reinvested with 50 million US dollars.
Next, we will focus on developing the Southeast Asian, Japanese and Korean markets and prepare to shoot five major dramas first.
So after signing the contract, I think there will be no problem if I want to continue acting in Hong Kong.
Thinking about how I had followed that fat guy for so many years, and in the end I had nothing.
Qiu Shuzhen gritted her teeth, sat down next to Li Jiaxin, and said to the two lawyers, "I'm going to sign the contract too. Can you give me a pen?"
"Of course." Luo Peifang smiled happily.
By the time Qiu Shuzhen started signing, Li Jiaxin had already finished the work after a while.
Then she smiled and said to Qiu Shuzhen: "That's right. Hey, Chingmy. From now on we are not just friends, we are sisters. Ha, we are all concubines that guy keeps outside!"
Qiu Shuzhen ignored her, so Li Jiaxin turned her attention to the three who were still hesitating.
This person's personality is well-known in the circle.
She is the one who takes advantage of her beauty to commit crimes. She actually has a very bad personality.
"Tsk tsk, Athena, do you want to sign it too?"
Li Jiaxin looked at Zhu Ying and said, Athena is Zhu Ying’s English name, which means Athena.
"I heard that you and Zhou Xingxing have reconciled. You have a boyfriend now. If you sign this contract, what will happen to Zhou Xingxing?"
Zhu Ying gave Li Jiaxin a look of disgust.
She thought the woman was too snobbish and sharp-tongued.
"I won't sign." Zhu Ying said coldly.
Li Jiaxin: "Ah, is this true?"
"Huh, do you think everyone is as materialistic as you?"
Zhu Ying glared at Li Jiaxin.
Li Jiaxin shrugged gracefully and was about to speak again.
At this moment, Liu Li, who had been expressionless, suddenly came over and placed a thick envelope in front of Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying looked up at her in confusion. Liu Li said, "The master said this is for you. Take a look first and decide whether to sign it or not."
"..." Zhu Ying suppressed the bad feeling in her heart and was about to take the envelope.
Unexpectedly, Li Jiaxin had already grabbed it and started to open it in front of her.
Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to get angry, she saw Li Jiaxin scream in surprise.
Then he took out a lot of photos in the envelope and shook them towards Zhu Ying, "Wow, Athena, your boyfriend is really good at doing things, even pairing them in black and white, wow..."
Zhu Ying immediately tried to grab it, and Li Jiaxin did not resist.
So she saw the photo, which was obviously taken from a candid angle, in which Zhou Xingxing was hugging two girls, one black and one white, in a place that looked like a hotel room.
Although the clothes were not taken off, given the environment, any adult would understand what would happen next.
Zhu Ying felt her blood boiling and she quickly checked the remaining photos.
The content is similar, some people even take off their clothes directly.
But after she took off her clothes, I couldn’t see her face, but I could tell who she was by her figure.
"I want to sign the contract too. Is it here?" Wan Qiwen said in a low voice.
"I'll sign it too." Liz also spoke.
Wan Qiwen chose to sign the contract because the conditions were too generous.
It was so rich that she couldn't even dream of it.
As for Liz, she understood as soon as she saw the photos in Zhu Ying's hands.
The foreigners' words sound nice. If you want to sign, you can sign. If you don't want to sign, it's okay.
But what about the reality? Liz thought that if he and others didn't want to sign.
There will definitely be something similar to the envelope in Zhu Ying's hand appearing in my hand.
You will have to sign even if you don't want to.
It’s better to be straightforward.
Just let him be kept, Liz is just that free and easy.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
And just as she thought, Zhu Ying couldn't escape in the end.
Because if it’s a photo of Stephen Chow, she wouldn’t mind.
Then there will be the concern of her family, or other means.
What else?
Is Milo a good man? The hundreds of thousands of black men who died in Africa because of him don't believe it.
David Filo, one of the founders of Yahoo in the United States, and his entire family didn't believe it either.
I don’t believe the more than one hundred important gang members who died in that fiery night in Miami.
The Danish authorities and people, who were desperate to be divided, did not believe it either.
Even the upper class in Japan, who were so frightened by the explosion in Tokyo that they had "Blackburn phobia", didn't believe it.
To be honest, all the American Celestial Dragons are kind people.
Unfortunately, he is the opposite kind of good person.
Not to mention Zhu Ying and the others’ struggle and obedience here.
Next door, in the conference hall on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel.
After a while, I heard news from Liu Li.
It is said that all five people signed the contract. Zhu Ying struggled during the process, but finally gave in.
Milo smiled.
Well, of course.
It’s just that Tianxian’s mother grumbled a little, saying that the master didn’t need to do this.
There is no need to offer such good conditions, let alone sign a contract.
Because if he really wants to continue enjoying it, it's just a matter of making a phone call.
He can then send them all the way from Hong Kong to any place in the world for him to enjoy.
Some people, including the Blackburn Foundation, said that he didn't need to use a contract to bind both parties.
After all, in addition to Zhu Ying and the other five, he also signed a bunch of such contracts in Hollywood.
Even some in the Blackburn Foundation think so.
But Milo still insisted and put this restraint on himself.
Not only did he prepare for their possible betrayal in the future, he also had some backup plans.
The reason for this kind of maintenance contract also involves a question of rules.
Take Hollywood, for example.
In Hollywood, relationships between men and women are based on mutual consent.
You can pursue, seduce, tempt and trade, but as long as the woman expresses her rejection very clearly and firmly.
Then it would be impossible to capture her by force.
Of course, not everyone follows these rules.
But those who truly had status and position chose to accept it.
The higher the status, the more flexible the rules are, and the more benefits one gets from abiding by and maintaining the rules.
You know, no matter how detailed the rules or laws are, it is always people who interpret them.
So there are always loopholes to exploit.
This is why there are so many lawyers in the United States.
The same thing, when done by people of different positions, will get different results.
For example, when a pregnant woman goes to check her fetus, the person who performs a comprehensive examination on her may be just an ordinary doctor or nurse.
Although I know the specific situation, I also have the corresponding professional qualities.
However, due to hospital regulations, they can only tell pregnant women whether it is good or bad but cannot make any suggestions, even if the pregnant women ask for it.
But if it were a doctor who was famous, had status and wealth throughout the country, he wouldn't need to care at all, and might even be more proactive in telling the pregnant woman what was best to do.
The so-called legal system is to restrict ordinary people with rules and regulations, while allowing the upper-class people with status to gain more benefits for themselves like fish in water.
Although this may sound a bit exaggerated, it is an indisputable fact.
In short.
As a member at the top of the pyramid.
Milo naturally has to abide by and maintain the rules. What should he do when he encounters a rule that is unfavorable to him? Make a rule that is favorable to him to offset it! Breaking the rules is the stupidest way. Unless you have the power to overwhelm the entire class or even the entire world, breaking the rules will only make you the enemy of the entire class.
Of course, not all rule-breaking behaviors will lead to such consequences. The key lies in the impact caused.
But some things are like this. Once you make a small opening and taste the convenience that comes with doing so, you will involuntarily expand it step by step.
Milo's ability to maintain a rational attitude at all times has played a big role in his current position.
However, even this is not guaranteed to last forever.
Therefore, such a loophole must never be opened casually.
So for women who want to collect, he will make such a contract.
It is not only to restrain them, but also to remind myself, and at the same time to tell the outside world - don't look at the tricks I play, but I am also playing within the constraints of the rules. I have all the contracts, signing, and lawyer certifications. Isn't it a hundred times better than yours? In this way, even if something really happens in the future,
You can also take out the contract and resolve the issue through legal means.
Not to mention that this is East Asia, and his influence cannot cover it completely.
His base is Los Angeles, New York, and the United States, not East Asia.
He knows what he is doing and what he can do, which is the key to success.
Therefore, it will be better to find someone to be responsible for the Greater China region and East Asia in the future.
Just come over and visit occasionally in the future, or better yet, invite them to the United States.
Milo couldn't help but laugh at the thought.
Speaking of which, it is not impossible to conquer a woman through some ability, but it is very rare.
After all, people have their own thoughts. They are not dolls, and they do not have the bug ability to "fall in love over time."
So it still depends on interests. If you really like someone later, you can add a child as a bond.
As for feelings, he doesn't force them.
Shaking his head, Milo looked up at his subordinates in the conference room and said, "Get London, Paris, and New York ready. I declare that the operation to reap Denmark has officially begun!"
