"Hello, sir. Your VIP room is upstairs.”
Upon entering the auction venue, a professional came to welcome Almighty Chu.
At the auction venue, most of the people were sitting on the stairway chairs on the first floor to participate in the auction.
Those with VIP invitations could hold the auction in the VIP room upstairs and enjoy the benefits that others did not have. Most importantly, they could avoid being disturbed by the crowd and have a comfortable and quiet environment.
After dealing with Old Li a few times, Old Li thought that he was a disciple of some big family. That was why he was invited to participate in this auction and even sent a VIP invitation.
It could be said that he was sincere.
"Miss Zhao, I have something to discuss with you. Would you like to come with me to the VIP room?" Almighty Chu asked Zhao Zimei.”
Zhao Zimei nodded subconsciously. She had never expected that the poor guy she had hired to be her shield would turn out to be a big shot with a VIP invitation!
She followed Almighty Chu to private room number three with mixed feelings.
There were a total of ten private rooms on the second floor. Each private room was like a lounge with comfortable sofas and various drinks and red wine.
Inside the room, there was a huge screen that displayed the scene on the auction stage.
There was a red button on the coffee table beside the sofa. If one fancied something, they only needed to press this button, and it would be equivalent to an ordinary guest raising their card to bid. It was very convenient.
After entering the private room, Zhao Zimei apologized to God Chu,""I'm really sorry for using you as a shield without your consent.”
" It's just a small matter." Almighty Chu waved his hand." Besides, I'm more than happy to help a beauty like Miss Zhao."”
Seeing that Almighty Chu didn't mind, Zhao Zimei couldn't help but smile and say,""Speaking of which, I don't even know your name.”
Almighty Chu picked up the red wine on the table and poured a third of it into each of the two wine glasses. Then, he handed a glass to Zhao Zimei and said,
"My name is Almighty Chu. I happen to have something to look for Miss Zhao. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really fate.”
After the two clinked glasses, Zhao Zimei asked curiously,""Mr. Chu, with your status, may I know why you are looking for me?”
The VIP invitation letter was a symbol of status.
Anyone who could receive a VIP invitation was a top figure in the upper class.
Although she was a famous love song queen, she was still far from the real top figures.
Almighty Chu sorted out his words and said,""It's like this. I recently started a company and am preparing to launch a brand new shared bicycle. I want to invite you to be the spokesperson and make the bike-sharing famous.”
"Bike sharing?"
Zhao Zimei frowned, not knowing what it was.
Seeing this, Almighty Chu had no choice but to introduce her to what a shared bicycle was.
After listening to Almighty Chu's introduction, Zhao Zimei said,"I'm very supportive of the green travel method, but I wonder how Mr. Chu plans to calculate the endorsement fee?”
There were three reasons why Zhao Zimei, as the new Diva of Love Songs, agreed to be the spokesperson for the bicycle sharing service.
The first and most important point was Almighty Chu's identity.
Who wouldn't want to befriend someone who could receive a VIP invitation from Christie's?
Secondly, she felt a little apologetic for using him as a shield without his permission.
The third point was also an indispensable point. Regardless of whether they were men or women, they all loved beauty.
Men liked beautiful women, and women would definitely like handsome men. It was hard for any woman to ignore Almighty Chu's temperament and appearance.
Divine Chu took a sip of the unknown brand of red wine and said,"8 million. I can give Miss Zhao 8 million as an endorsement fee.”
An endorsement fee of 8 million was already a very high price.
The highest endorsement that Zhao Zimei had ever received was only 10 million yuan.
She nodded in satisfaction and looked at Almighty Chu hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something but was embarrassed.
But in the end, she still blushed and said,"Um, Mr. Chu, can you announce to the public that the endorsement fee is only 5 million?”
Personal income tax was a very terrifying figure.
After paying her personal income tax, she only had about 4.4 million yuan in her hands.
If they announced that the endorsement fee was only 5 million, then the remaining 3 million would not have to pay taxes.
Therefore, when almost every celebrity accepted an endorsement, the price quoted to the public was far lower than the actual price.
This way, the celebrities themselves could pay a lot less tax. For enterprises, it could also reduce costs.
For example, this year's celebrity endorsement was actually paid 10 million yuan, but it was only announced to the public that it was only 8 million yuan. Then, if he changed to a celebrity endorsement next year, he wouldn't have to ask for 10 million directly.
It could be said that this was an unspoken rule in the industry.
This was also why there were often news of celebrities evading taxes because the profits were too high.
God Chu looked at Zhao Zimei with a faint smile and said,""Of course. It's settled then. Is there any problem with signing the contract tomorrow?”
Zhao Zimei smiled and raised her glass. She said happily,"No problem, happy cooperation."
The two of them clinked their glasses again. Not long after, the auction officially began.
