William smiled and looked at everyone who was doing it and stopped talking, he knew that what he said was almost, how much wealth can be created by the game, these people who have been rolling in the game all their lives know it, and he doesn't need to say anything more.

EA and Ubisoft are among the top independent publishers in the world, both of which publish games and game merchandise independently, and Besta is now the nation's largest seller of DVD and game publishing.

Now Plants vs. Zombies game discs alone can sell at least 70 million pounds or more, and the game can also be released in a new version, which is a lot of money.

Coupled with the fact that game peripherals can sell several times or even ten times as much, it's no wonder that these game companies and affiliates don't want this game.

And now Baishida is about to IPO (that is, listing) as long as it can become popular in the United States, it will be of great help to him to go public next year, 1 times the income is equal to 20 times the market value increase, and the timing of selling things is very important.

The person in charge of Baishida didn't think long before he couldn't help but speak: " Okay, we now know that Mr. Devon Hill will sell the full copyright of the game, you said so much not just to tell us that the future of this game is bright, let me guess, well, maybe you want to sell the game so much, do you want to make a lot of money when the market is good, invest in the stock market Maybe it will double in less than a year, ha, congratulations William, you are going to become a monopoly, but I still hope you still hurry up and tell us how much you want to sell the full copyright of the game"

"Sell from £100 million"

"Bang Bang"

Although everyone was prepared to a certain extent, everyone in the conference room was still in an uproar when William said 100 million pounds.

Individual game agents even shouted: "Are you crazy, Mr. Devon Hill, 100 million pounds, are you crazy about money?"

William ignored the shouts of these people and stared at the person in charge of Besta and said, "I think if Besta makes more than 300 million pounds of business after spending 100 million pounds, it will definitely agree, and it will even be very helpful to your plans for next year, right, Mr. Wood."

Wood Morris was shocked by William's heartbeat, and thought to himself: "Does this little ghost know something, it's impossible, the board of directors of Baishida has just agreed to go public next year, how can this guy know."

But Wood Morris was still startled by the words that suddenly popped out of William's mouth, and looked at William's eyes a little dodgy, he felt that his intention was clearly seen by William.

William, who was staring at Wood Morris, knew that he had made the right bet, and Besta had plans to go public now, and they would go public next year.

In this era, Besta is really invincible all over the United States, and the company has almost been acquired by Besta several times, but Besta is too unpopular, and the purchase price is too low, these guys underestimate the development speed of online shopping, and there is no shortage of money at all, but it is not necessarily after March this year.

"I still have to report to the board of directors about Pepsi's offer, 100 million pounds I can't call the shots now, Mr. Devon Hill, I think that's it for today, we'll talk about it in a few days" Wood was heartbroken by William's eyes, and hurriedly changed the subject.

William smiled at Wood Morris and said, "Okay, then let's leave it like this today, gentlemen, we'll see you in three days, I'll wait for your good news, Mr. Wood Morris."

After saying hello to everyone in the conference room, William ignored the game agents who wanted to pull him to settle the game agent today, and left with Anthony, a senior partner at Linklaters Law Firm, and his team.

William and his entourage of 6 went directly to the business suite of the Hilton Hotel, which has an office area of more than 40 square meters in this 600 pounds a day.

Anthony looked at the young man who was sitting in front of him, who was less than 20 years old, and read the information William Devon Hill was born on December 7, 1980, and now he is only 19 years and 2 months old, Anthony suddenly had the idea that it would be good if my son was like William Devon Hill in the future.

"Congratulations, Mr. Devon Hill, I think you're about to become the youngest billionaire in England, it's incredible, William, you've managed to refresh my view of young people in the new century, you're wonderful, William, congratulations," Anthony exclaimed.

After taking the wine glass that Anthony poured for him, William smiled and said: "Thank you, Anthony, I think we have to re-sign a contract now, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, 3 days later is our battlefield, I received the news that Baishida has a listing plan, I now need your law firm to fully cooperate with me, make a good plan, release the news, attract more potential customers, many times someone grabs something, in order to sell at a better price." ”

Anthony nodded: "Yes, Mr. Devon Hill, the current hourly contract is no longer suitable, you need our Linklaters Law Firm to provide you with a full range of services, we will help you make all the preparations." ”

"Okay, this matter involves more than 100 million pounds, I think the 1% commission should be satisfactory to your Linklaters law firm, no higher is appropriate, and if this business can be successfully completed, I will hire you to be my personal lawyer, what do you think, Anthony" William said as he looked into Anthony's eyes.

Anthony thought about it, 1% is more than 1 million pounds, although Linklaters Law Firm is one of the best law firms in England, but Linklaters Law Firm is not only one partner, there are dozens of senior partners in the firm, there are hundreds of general partners, 1 million pounds to do this kind of not difficult case in their firm in a year, even if there is, it will not be his turn, and the price of his personal lawyer is 300,000 pounds a year, such a good opportunity is not available every year.

Anthony didn't think long before nodding: "No problem, Mr. Devon Hill, our firm has taken this case"

"Then happy cooperation, Anthony," William held out his hand.

"Good cooperation, Mr. Devon Hill," Anthony said, taking William's hand

William picked up the glass and touched it with the others, and then drank the Scotch whisky in the glass in one gulp.

William sighed in his heart: "I really didn't expect me to become a billionaire so soon, and with this hundred million pounds, the plan after March this year will be implemented more smoothly." ”

After William and Anthony re-signed the contract, Anthony said: "Mr. Devon Hill, since I am now your lawyer, I need to remind you of one thing"

"You say"

"I think it's time for you to get the banks and insurance companies involved, you have to let the insurance companies keep the money safe for you, and you should also think about the question of tax avoidance, whether you receive the money in England or in another country."

"Is there any difference between these?" wondered William

"Yes, Mr. Devon Hill, if you want to get the money as soon as possible, then spend some money to get the insurance company insured, if the buyer does not pay within the agreed time in the contract, the insurance company will pay you first, and the other insurance companies will take care of it themselves."

"There is also the receiving bank, if you set up the money account in England, then the money must be taxed, if it is located in Switzerland or the British Virgin Islands, these secret banks or tax havens, then there is basically no need to pay taxes, England can not do the United States of America global tax. ”

"It's just that if you want to return to England, it will be difficult for you to return to England if you really want to return to England reasonably, the cost will not be lower than paying corporate income tax honestly, and the only advantage of this is that you will not have an impact on your consumption and investment outside England in the future. ”

"But one of the biggest drawbacks of this method is that once the people know that you haven't paid a penny of tax, then your reputation in English society will be greatly affected, and it may even be fatal, because there are many people who have been investigated for not paying a penny, even if you can't do anything in the end, but it is still very troublesome to delay for a few years."

"My suggestion is that you can register a company in the BVI and transfer half of your company shares in England to the BVI company, so that your company in England can pay half less tax."

"Coupled with the 1.5 times R&D cost rebate policy for small and medium-sized companies on product R&D expenses, Mr. Devon Hill, how much money have you spent on game R&D. ”

William scratched his head and said: "It's really hard to say, I don't seem to spend any money except for food money and electricity bills, everything is done by me alone, the game is designed by me, I program and develop, and even the images of plants and zombies are designed and drawn." ”

After listening to William's words, Anthony looked at William as if he was seeing an alien, and he thought that the development cost of the game Plants vs. Zombies would have to be tens of millions of pounds.

Now that you're telling me I didn't spend any money, see what the hell you are, Anthony now feels like his head hurts.

"Okay, William, I know you're a genius, but I thought you could be so talented that I'll report back to you in a few days on some other reasonable ways to avoid taxes. ”

William looked helplessly at Anthony, who looked at him like a monster, and said, "Well, I have only one request, and that is that everything must be legal." ”

Anthony nodded in agreement: "Of course, Mr. Devon Hill, I guarantee that everything is reasonable and legal, and no one can find loopholes in these tax avoidance methods in the law, which is what our law firm is best at." ”

"That's good, by the way, Anthony, I need you to help me pass on some of the data in the conference room today to the society, of course, the final price is needless to say. William whispered to Anthony

"That's no problem, William, as long as you're not afraid that there will be a lot of paparazzi following you when you go out in the future, I'm happy to help you with this. ”

William laughed and said, "Haha, I'm probably ready to be surrounded by paparazzi and take pictures, and I won't be able to hide today's incident for long." ”

Anthony said: "William, it's good that you have this preparation, I was just thinking about how to get rid of you, you don't look like a 19-year-old child at all, God forbid, I just hope the outside world doesn't know too quickly, we are not ready, no one expected that Besta would take such a fancy to this game, William, do you know any information." ”

"Yes, I didn't expect that Besta really had a plan to go public. It was all so sudden that I wasn't ready, and Anthony I thought we should have taken care of the BVI company in the afternoon. I always had a hunch that we didn't have much time left to schedule. William said worriedly

William's junior mage's mental power was faintly telling him that something was going to happen that was not good for him.
