"Hey! This weather! You have to walk on the road for half an hour, sprinkle some barbecue ingredients on your head, and you can serve it directly!"
Ni Bingyan looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was as blue as a wash, the sunlight was particularly warm and direct, and the air was even a little distorted. He quickly took out his sunglasses and put them on.
Duanmu Li had been following her, and when she raised her head, he thoughtfully opened the parasol for her.
Facing this kind of sun, if you don't plan to change your skin color, it is safer to have multiple protections.
"The hottest month in Texas is probably August. Isn't this normal weather? Let's go, don't waste time here."
Wei Shujie put his bag under his arm and got into the middle car. As soon as he sat down, he started calling the company's staff here.
Ni Bingyan followed and got into the car, while Brother Biao and Duanmu Li got into the last one in tacit agreement.
This time when they came to Beautiful Country to film "Untouchable Tom the Family 2", Tao Fei and Pan Liang didn't come because they couldn't hold guns. Instead, Sang Yuan took the lead and found a company called King Defense to take care of her. Security issues.
It is said that the boss of this company is Chinese and has won the trust of many wealthy Chinese people. Now that he is abroad, he can be regarded as a fellow countryman.
Especially when I saw the four burly men who came to pick them up at the airport and looked very professional, I felt more at ease.
The movie was shot in a small town in Texas. Before filming started, Ni Bingyan had to undergo a month of firearms training at a training base in Houston.
Texas is close to Mexico, and the security situation has always been bad. If you want to stay here for such a long time, security work cannot be relaxed.
To be honest, Ni Bingyan would never have taken this job if it weren't for the sake of making his resume look better and making it easier to impact the world.
Because she made a rough calculation and found out that just hiring security would cost her all her salary from this film, before tax.
In addition, she had to pay for all the food, clothing, housing and transportation herself.
In other words, the longer she stays here, the more she will be compensated.
Not to mention, her father bought her a house in order to make her stay safer and more comfortable.
Even if she has a job in the future, the chance of coming here is very small. In her opinion, buying a house is completely unnecessary, but her dad said it would be a lot more convenient.
Her father's exact words were this, "At worst, how much trouble will it cost to sell the house when I leave?"
Thinking about it, I would lose a little money at most. As for causing trouble, as long as the money is in place, there will be many people rushing to help.
Nowadays, the domestic economy is developing better and better, the Chinese people are getting higher and higher in the world, and there are so many people going abroad to buy property. These intermediaries are all experienced, and as long as the money is in place, they can really do it quickly and well.
After getting in the car, the group went straight to the house located west of Houston.
The white single-family building has only two floors. It is located in a high-end community and has a simple and elegant American style.
There is a neatly manicured lawn in front of the door. There is a huge magnolia tree at the intersection. It is probably several decades old. Unfortunately, it is not in its flowering period. Only a few scattered clumps of fruits can be seen through the crown of the tree.
The fruit of magnolia is an aggregation fruit. The seeds have matured during this season, and the peel gently opens, revealing the bright red seeds, which are clustered in groups, which is particularly pleasing.
Turn in from the intersection with magnolias, about thirty or forty meters away, and you will find the garage.
The garage door is painted white. When you open it, you can see that the original owner moved it very thoroughly. It has an unobstructed view inside. It is quite spacious and can easily park two cars.
If guests come to visit and drive their cars, they can park their cars in the open space in front of the garage.
The three guest rooms on the first floor can accommodate the PMC sent by the King's Defense. There are four of them, and they will work in two shifts to protect her 24 hours a day.
As for the second floor, there are many rooms at her disposal.
It is relatively close to the suburbs, next to a large park, the land is not very valuable, and the living environment is very good.
Ni Bingyan was used to the crowds in China, but when he came to such a sparsely populated place, he didn't see many people along the way. Ni Bingyan was still a little uncomfortable.
After roughly putting away the luggage, it was almost time for dinner
between.
Brothers Film and Television opened a wholly-owned subsidiary here two years ago, responsible for the company's business in the beautiful country.
Upon learning of Ni Bingyan's arrival, the manager here was very enthusiastic and specially held a banquet to entertain him.
During the dinner, Ni Bingyan saw that she was only polite to him, but went out of her way to please Wei Shujie. Ni Bingyan almost understood and just kept busy.
After returning home after dinner, the bodyguards started taking shifts.
The night shift team came over to say hello and then went back to their room.
At first, Ni Bingyan was a little worried, fearing that they would just go back to the house to sleep. But in the end, they didn't know whether they understood her concerns, so they actually opened the door and invited her to check out the decoration they had made.
"This is the No. 1 firepower point. If an enemy attacks from the front, this point can provide 180-degree fire coverage."
There was number one, and naturally there was number two, and they took her to check out the other two places.
One is facing the backyard and the other is in the attic.
"There doesn't seem to be a bed in the attic. Do I need to prepare one?"
Just hearing her say this, the cheerful white man couldn't help laughing:
"Beautiful lady, people in the attic cannot sleep."
"That……"
"We will change shifts."
"There are four people in total, can they be rotated?"
"Oh, miss, you come from the safest country in the world. You may not know much about it. We are PMC and we also have vacations, so the four of us are not fixed. Our colleagues are also very reliable. When the new person comes to change the shift, we I will give you a detailed introduction.”
So that's it.
Ni Bingyan went upstairs embarrassedly. Just after washing up, she saw Sister Wei knocking on the door.
"It's still early. We'd better hold on for a while and go to bed later so that we can sleep until dawn. When we get up tomorrow, the jet lag will almost be reversed. Otherwise, we will be sleepy tomorrow afternoon if we get up too early."
This was not the first time Ni Bingyan had gone abroad. He yawned and patted the bed: "Come and lie down. The plane ride has made my legs swollen."
"But no, I have to fall asleep as soon as I lie down. Let's sit and talk!"
Ni Bingyan originally thought that she just wanted to chat with him for a while, but he didn't expect that when she opened her mouth, she said:
"If possible, you should sign another agency here to be responsible for your international business!"
The original owner was a salty fish, and she didn't understand it. Speaking of which, she really hadn't thought about this issue.
"As you can see, our branch has been unable to open up the situation here. As the general manager, Xu Yueying is so anxious and wants to rely on me to return to China to avoid the company investing too much, but it has been delayed. If you get the reward, you have to operate on her. Under such circumstances, it is really impossible for you to rely on Brother Film and Television to go global."
There are local snakes in every region. How can outsiders be allowed to share the local cake?
"Those awards are the results that people in each region have spent countless efforts and countless years to become famous. For example, the Oscar can have such a status in the world. The whole world is very convinced of its gold content. It is the same as many people. are closely related to our efforts. If you can’t get help from local forces, it would be simply fanciful to want to pick the fruits grown in their back gardens.”
If the best foreign language film and the like are just leftovers, then the Oscar winner is the best fruit on the best tree in their back garden.
Without the owner's permission, you can't even enter the garden, let alone take it off under heavy guard.
Ni Bingyan remained silent, not knowing what to say.
It would be a lie to say that you are not tempted, but if you do this, where will you put Sister Wei?
"It's one thing to attach importance to feelings, but as you can see, my ability is not enough to support your ambition. I have tried hard, but... it really doesn't work."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
In business, what we play with in many cases is capital.
Without capital support, no matter how powerful you are, you can't make it work.
Therefore, Ni Bingyan needs noble people.
Her family does, but it's a pity that she is not in this industry. It's even more difficult to do it if you are separated by mountains, especially if it is a foreign mountain.
Ni Bingyan was not sure for a moment. Was it a test when Sister Wei told her this?
If she focuses on international work, won't her domestic work be reduced a lot?
For an agent, if the artist's work at hand is reduced, her commission will also be reduced, especially if Sister Wei has not signed anyone else yet.
