Chapter 334: Visiting and Playing

In Europe, the official tax rate is too high, but in fact, the United States is not low, which plays an important role in narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, regulating the income distribution in society, and giving more welfare protection to the middle and low-class groups.

Therefore, even with the existence of the Warsaw Pact, the residents of Europe and the United States still live a good life, and the vast majority of the society are middle-class and are in a stage of extremely high happiness.

As a businessman, Han Chudong is still a businessman who does not have much love to overflow, so he naturally wants to put most of his profits into his own pocket, so when he acquired the two brands GUCCI and YSL through the Mason United Group, he changed his registered place to Puerto Rico by the way, so as to reduce the tax rate to a very low level.

It is not enough to change the place of registration of the company, he also wants to reduce the expenses of all links, and increase profits by opening up sources and reducing expenses, which makes Mr. Maurizio Gucci, who has been influenced by the family business culture since childhood, feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, Mr. Maurizio Gucci also knew that the measures proposed by Han Chudong would most likely increase the income of shareholders, including him, so he soon did not bother, and nodded his head and said: "The company has been controlled by you, no matter what kind of development plan you propose, as long as there are no mistakes, I will implement it." ”

"It's better to do business in partnership or everyone agrees, but it doesn't really have a big impact on the old employees at GUCCI now, I just want them to be more productive. Taking a step back, the more profits the company makes, it can also give them better protection, and pay more wages, which is beneficial to everyone. ”

When Han Chudong spoke, he looked at Mrs. Hermes, who was silent tonight.

As the heiress of a luxury company, she dresses with a luxurious style, a Hermès orange coat with a black Kelly bag.

The two made eye contact, and Mrs. Hermes asked: "In the case of Hermes, can you move the company's registered place to another country to avoid taxes?" The factory is not easy to move, we are staring at the most high-class customers, they are very picky about the origin of the product, and our company's leather manufacturing technology has a long history, and when you have time, you may be able to help, and use your eyes to see where you can save expenses and reduce costs." ”

"It's hard to relocate without trying to figure out a way, the best way is for me to buy some more shares of Hermès, as a shareholder, of course I have to help the company, maybe we can talk in detail in private recently to see how we can improve the earnings of Hermès." ”

Han Chudong took the opportunity to say.

Now the focus of his life is mainly around these companies, and he is no longer the poor boy who could only show up in person and make money by selling black lottery tickets.

The idea is more comprehensive, and it is also handy to deal with these veteran businessmen, and dealing with problems with a win-win situation can often achieve satisfactory results.

Mrs. Hermes did not want to lose the actual control of the company, but she did hope to make more money through the company, although the unit price of goods is higher than Chanel and LV, and the positioning is also higher, but the profit margin has not been optimistic, which makes her feel that there is a problem in the company's operation and management, and her own ability is not enough, so she wants to get some help from Han Chudong.

Mr. Gucci and Mr. Saint Laurent have not regretted agreeing to give Han Chudong a controlling stake until now, and despite his large investment, the valuation and profits of their companies have risen sharply.

Since there was no contradiction, of course, the meal was happy enough, and they waited until more than eight o'clock to serve dessert before they left.

......

While making money, Han Chudong occasionally feels that his life has been kidnapped by money.

Although he still has a lot of time to himself and doesn't have much pressure to speak of, a bunch of things pop up from time to time can still make him feel bored.

Don't rush home, take the time to wander down the Champs-Élysées.

Passers-by thought that a celebrity was present, but after a closer look, they found that it was not, and occasionally a Frenchman who recognized Han Chudong greeted him, but he was not disturbed too much other than that.

I customized a Patek Philippe watch, and also gave a piece to Kiko Mochizuki, and then I also bought a pair of leather shoes, a few Christine Dior dresses, and took the car home when I was tired.

It's not a home, it's just one of his many properties around the world, it's not taken into account at all, it's like a hotel, and it's just because he can come on vacation once in a while, so he hasn't sold it.

Swimming fitness as a way to adjust to jet lag and barely get a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, I went to visit the Louvre, and then went to Versailles in the afternoon, during which Han Chudong couldn't help but compare the manor of the gods and Versailles that was being built, and felt that it was more than a star and a half off, and lost in the momentum.

This kind of comparison is very unnecessary, just like comparing the Jiangnan garden of a wealthy merchant with the Forbidden City, how can a house built by an individual be like a king regardless of the cost, simply living comfortably, Han Chudong thinks that it must be much better than the magnificent appearance, but many places inside have long been in disrepair.

I took the initiative to talk to the curator in private, mainly because I wanted to buy a batch of cultural relics from the Palace of Versailles, and I wanted to pick out some of my favorite gadgets from the perennial collection and buy them in batches.

In the Louvre in the morning, Han Chudong also made the same request, but the director of the Louvre couldn't be the master, saying that he would give him an answer after discussing with others, and the Palace of Versailles was the same, as an official museum, he couldn't get around the official consent if he wanted to make a decision.

After discovering this, Han Chudong asked people to represent themselves and try to contact the high-level officials of the Ministry of Culture in charge of these public institutions.

On the same day, he received a reply that there were indeed too many items in these institutions, and it would cost too much taxpayers' money to maintain, and that a public auction might be held in the near future, and that Han Chudong could participate in the public auction if he was interested.

Selling this kind of thing in private, Han Chudong needs to secretly operate to be able to promote, and he doesn't want to fold his reputation in this kind of small puddle, so he plans to arrange it according to the normal process, and specially instructed him to say that he wants some fine old objects from China.

The reason for increasing investment in cultural relics and artworks is mainly to consider long-term interests, and to avoid taxes while investing......
