Bang - bang - bang -

Standing in front of the firing position, Matthew held an AR-15 rifle, aimed at the target thirty meters away, pulled the trigger one by one, and the semi-automatic rifle fired one bullet after another, accurately hitting the target.

Matthew pulled the trigger ten times, then put down his semi-automatic rifle and took off his headphones.

"Eighty-Nine Rings!"

The voice of the electronic target reporter rang out.

Charlize Theron, dressed in a tracksuit, walked over and said to Matthew, "Marksmanship is pretty good." ”

Matthew withdrew his rifle magazine and said, "I practice a lot. ”

He picked up a new magazine, reloaded, and asked Charlize Theron, "Would you like to try it?"

Charlize Theron shook her head, "Forget it, I just played with a pistol, and my wrist hurts now." She folded her arms over her chest, "I knew I wouldn't come here with you, so I might as well hide in my room and read." ”

Matthew pulled the bolt of the gun, let out a thud, and added, "Nesting in the room for a long time makes it easy to get moldy." ”

After speaking, he didn't wear headphones, raised his gun and aimed at the target thirty meters away again, and the gunshots rang out one after another.

Charlize Theron saw that Matthew was in high spirits and took the initiative to take a few steps back, as if men always have an unusual obsession with things like guns.

This is the VIP shooting range of the Gun Club, except for her and Matthew, there is no one else here today, seeing that Matthew finished firing a magazine and picked up a new one, Charlize Theron simply retreated to the rest area and sat down.

She looked at Matthew, this man seemed to be so energetic forever, after attending the Mercedes-Benz event yesterday, he came back close to midnight, and he tossed with her for so long, he still got up on time this morning to run, and then came here to shoot the target, and there was no sign of fatigue at all.

Thinking of this, Charlize Theron stretched and yawned again, she tossed for too long last night, and she didn't sleep well at all.

"Ninety-one ring!"

After another ten shots, the voice of the electronic target reporter rang out again.

Charlize Theron also discovered that Matthew's current shooting level of 30 meters is about the ninth ring on average, which is estimated to be a high level among amateurs.

The door to the VIP room was pushed open from the outside, and a strong man in his forties walked in, and Charlize Theron turned his head to see that the man still had the impression that he had attended that engagement party last week.

The man walked over and greeted her familiarly, "Hi, Charlize." ”

Charlize Theron, remembering who he was, stood up and responded with a smile, "Hello, Neborah. ”

Matthew also heard Neborah's voice, put down his semi-automatic rifle, came here, and said, "How did you have time to come?"

Nebora laughed, "I'm one of the owners of the gun club now. ”

"Oh?" asked Matthew, curiously, "you're expanding your business again?"

"Far worse than you. Nebora casually explained, "One of the club's major shareholders had some problems with other businesses and needed cash flow, so I bought the shares. ”

He glanced at Charlize Theron and said, "Matthew, I originally wanted to take you with me, but you've been too busy lately, so I didn't bother you." ”

Matthew laughed, "It's a good thing you didn't go to me, and I didn't have any money during this time, so I used it to buy a house." ”

In addition to the down payment, the rest of the payment at Horner Estate is a mortgage, but this also has advantages, and many of the expenses of buying a house can be used as tax deductions.

Of course, the property tax rate for buying a house on this land is subject to property tax every year, and the property tax rate varies from state to county in the United States, which is roughly between 1 percent and 3.3 percent, and this tax rate is not based on the purchase price, but the current actual value of the house.

Cities such as Los Angeles, Houston and New York are all places where property taxes are generally high.

Los Angeles is better, with the average tax rate in each county being less than 1 percent, and luxury homes in Beverly Hills are relatively high, such as Matthew's mansion, which is taxed at 1.2 percent a year.

In other words, based on the purchase price of $25 million, the property tax of Horner Estate that year was $300,000.

That's not too high, property taxes in Manhattan, New York, are as high as three percent.

Living in this country, the cost of housing is quite high.

The only good thing is that as long as you can afford to pay your property taxes, the house is a permanent private property for individuals.

The law stipulates that, and the United States is said to have also disguised violent demolitions, but Matthew doesn't have to worry, no matter how much demolition is carried out, it can't be demolished in a super-rich area like the south slope of Beverly Hills.

Matthew has only had a superficial understanding of things like the taxes of the country of ten thousand taxes in recent years, and his taxes are all handled by lawyers and PwC's accountants.

And as his income skyrocketed, Helen Herman was also trying to find new legal tax avoidances.

Charlize Theron, who was next to her, yawned again at this time, and Matthew saw her strong spirits and said to Neborah, "I'll go to the fitness club tomorrow and we'll talk again, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

Nebora probably saw it, and didn't hold back, and said, "Then we'll see you tomorrow afternoon." ”

Matthew and Charlize Theron quickly got out of the gun club and got in the parking lot, where Matthew started the Mercedes Big G and turned onto the road back to Beverly Hills.

"I'll sleep for a while. Charlize Theron lifted the hood of her sweatshirt and put it over her head.

Matthew gradually picked up speed and said, "So sleepy?"

Charlize Theron gave him a pair of rolling eyes, "Not you yet." ”

Matthew shrugged, not realizing it at all, "You held me last night and didn't let me stop." ”

"I felt it then. Charlize Theron said unabashedly, "It's not that you don't know, I'm relatively sluggish in that aspect, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have much interest." ”

She didn't say anything in the second half, Matthew was a little too tough.

"That's right. Charlize Theron suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you consulted with Helen Herman about the reasons I told you that day?"

Matthew held the steering wheel with one hand and patted his head with the other, "I forgot about it." ”

Charlize Theron frowned, "You'd better discuss it with Helen Herman as soon as possible." ”

Now that you have found the right reason, let's quickly find a suitable time to break up, if it drags on, who knows what will happen.

Matthew could understand the underlying meaning behind these words, in the words of the other side of the Pacific where he once lived, a twisted melon was not sweet.

"Well, you'll go back and rest in a moment. Charlize Theron urged again and again, and Matthew didn't hesitate anymore, "I went to the angel agency to meet with Helen in person. ”

Driving back to Horner Manor and putting down Charlize Theron, Matthew first called Helen Herman, made sure she was in the agency, and immediately drove to Burbank, came to the Angel Agency, met Helen Herman, and roughly recounted Charlize Theron's words that day.

Helen Herman wasn't embarrassed at all, crossed her chin and thought about it.

Matthew stopped talking, sat down in the chair across from his desk, and waited patiently, Helen Herman was much more reliable in this regard than he was.

It took a full two or three minutes for Helen Herman to speak, "It's a good idea, and it will do more to reduce the negative effects than the reason I gave you, and no one can say anything about it." ”

"Sally told me that day. Matthew also said at this time, "I thought about it too, as if she had a point." ”

Helen Herman cocked up her fingers, shook it, and said, "It's not a little reasonable, it's very reasonable." We can imagine that Charlize Theron originally had similar rumors, at most the rumors in this area are more widespread, but it is not a bad thing for a female star of her level. ”

Matthew thought about it and nodded slightly, he had many in-depth exchanges with Charlize Theron, so he naturally understood that the rumors were true, and Charlize Theron didn't feel ordinary slow.

"Say it about you. Helen Herman resisted the urge to laugh, but maintained that calm appearance, "You are a man, or a famous tough guy and tough man in Hollywood and all over the United States, this kind of thing does not hurt you at all." ”

She added, "To be exact, even if it's widely discussed, it's not a bad thing for any man." ”

Matthew asked directly, "Are we going to adopt it?"

"Well......" Helen Herman thought about it again and said, "Well, I'll talk to Charlize Theron's agent and crew first, and Mercedes-Benz will have to say hello in advance." ”

"Yes. "Matthew knows that this matter involves all aspects, and he can't rush it.

Helen Herman then admonished, "Don't make a claim until I'm sure." ”

Matthew nodded, "I know. ”

This show is not his solo show with Charlize Theron, not only a film crew is involved, but also two big brands, and messing around will only mess things up.

Helen Herman changed the subject, "I spoke to Aziva Gossman yesterday, and he estimated that in the next three to four months, he would be able to come up with a script, and as it stands, his desire to let you take the lead actor is very strong. ”

Matthew said directly, "Then let's wait for him to come up with the script." ”

"That's what I thought, too. Helen Herman added, "For 'The Three Hundred Spartans,' I've recommended Jack for Zack Snyder and David Ellison to be the executive producer and negotiate with Walt Disney's Broadway Pictures. ”

After Matthew and Robert Egger had crossed paths that night, there had been formal contact between the two sides.

"Jack?" Matthew thought the name familiar.

Helen Herman reminded, "That bearded assistant who used to be next to Ridley Scott. ”

Matthew immediately remembered, "It's him." ”

"Alright, one last thing. Helen Herman changed the subject again, "I connected you with a watch endorsement. ”
