Chapter 158: Planning

After the twists and turns of 1983, into 1984, the Hoffman family ushered in a good news.

The Soviet Union's gas pipeline from Siberia was completed in early January, and natural gas deliveries to France are expected to begin in late January.

Prior to this, the Soviet Union had begun to supply low-cost natural gas to the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland and other countries, but Britain, France and Germany, which had a greater demand for nature, had not enjoyed this convenience.

Now that France is using Soviet gas, Germany will not last long.

Except for the Soviet Union, which had 51 percent of the shares, the remaining 49 percent was listed in London and Zurich, and was very popular in the market.

The 0.78 percent stake in the sales company, owned by the Hoffmann family, was originally worth only 1.8 million Swiss francs, and now the market price has exceeded 5 million Swiss francs, and there is no market price.

Because these shares were bought by large financial institutions at the beginning, less than 1 percent of the ordinary outstanding shares were bought, and ordinary people could not buy them if they wanted to.

Now, Timchenko's power has reached a premium of 8 million Swiss francs, but there are still several contenders.

Anyone knows that the stock of this Conzen sales company is definitely a high-quality asset.

Indeed, because until later generations, the natural gas of the whole of Western Europe was sold through this company, and the investment was a huge profit.

Jonas didn't have much interest in these shares, mainly because there were too many people who were optimistic, and if he wanted to keep them, he would offend a large group of forces.

When his power has not yet developed, it is better to sell it for peace of mind than to make others jealous and jealous.

In the past few years, he has not wanted to participate in too much investment, and when his power develops and his ability matches his wealth, it is not too late to invest in more projects.

On January 11, at the temporary headquarters of Hoffmann Investment Bank in Zurich, the signing ceremony for the transfer of Yannick's assets was officially held.

Lucas Hoffmann, Hannah Hoffmann, Yankel Hoffmann, Jacob Hoffmann, and Jonas were in attendance at the signing ceremony.

Although the heirs were only Jonas and Hannah, others came to support them.

In addition to their immediate family members, representatives of two law firms, two accounting firms, and two banks from which Yannick had taken loans were also present.

And they only accounted for less than half of the people in attendance, and the other partners sent more representatives.

A distribution of more than $700 million also attracted the attention of dozens of media outlets, but the vast majority of media outlets were not allowed to enter because of the limited space.

The Hoffmann family set up a press conference at the Palazzo Singue Hotel in the Enge district of the southern city. For every signing, Ursula will represent Hoffman

The family is announced.

The signing ceremony took place over two days, during which Jonas signed more than 240 documents and agreements and recorded 610.5 million Swiss francs.

However, most of the funds were only transferred around his account, and 340 million were returned to the bank.

In addition to more than 260 million Swiss francs in cash, Jonas also retains shares in Arsenal and the new headquarters building in Zurich.

In the financial markets of London, there are still $110 million in assets, which remain in the original account for the time being because the investment period has not ended.

These assets will all be turned into cash assets in the next month and a half.

There is no inheritance tax in Switzerland, and Yannick's inheritance can be left to Jonas in small amounts.

However, Switzerland has a personal income tax and a profits tax, as well as a national tax and a cantonal tax, and the total tax rate adds up to about 15 percent.

If prepared, these estates are fully entrusted to the family fund for tax avoidance.

In other words, not only that, but Jonas's personal account is not taxable.

But Yannick died unexpectedly, and it was also involved in various debts and asset disposals.

In addition, Jonas also had the intention to separate these assets from the family assets and not let the two uncles have a chance to get a piece of the pie, so Jonas was ready to open another stall from the beginning.

As a result, Jonas would have to pay about 66 million in taxes to the tax authorities at all levels.

In Switzerland, paying taxes is negotiable.

Jonas paid so much tax at once, and negotiations with the tax department went on for another two days. In the end, the difference of about 10 million was negotiated, and a total of 56 million taxes had to be paid.

Even so, it was a new record for personal tax payments, and Jonas made headlines across Europe for days on end.

A young man under the age of nineteen, but with more than 400 million Swiss francs in cash assets, is definitely in the news.

In 1982, there was the first list of the world's richest people, and the DuPont family topped the list with $10 billion.

But they are a big family, and Jonas now has a net worth of almost 370 million Swiss francs, which is equivalent to almost 400 million US dollars, which is already in the top 100.

However, of course, this is only legal property that can be calculated on the surface, and the assets of many people cannot be calculated at all.

In the case of Marvin Davis, his personal assets are one billion dollars, ranking in the top 20 of the richest people in the United States.

But everyone knows that Macridge is richer, but he does not enter the ranking at all, because on the surface, Macridge does not have many assets.

But really? Macridge has far more than that

Marvin Davis.

The more Jonas's news spread, the more jealous it became, and it also pushed the Hoffmans to the forefront.

The Hoffmann family in Lucerne is fine, because there is only one small private bank, and the wealth is somewhat of a mystery, and according to media estimates, the total assets will not exceed 100 million Swiss francs.

This is similar to the reality, because the development of such private banks has been slow.

But the Hoffmann family in Basel became famous.

Basel Pharma has two shareholders, the Hoffmann family and the Oli family.

And this world's top five pharmaceutical group has annual sales of billions of dollars, and the two are originally the richest families in Switzerland.

They have been spied on by a lot of people, and even Raken is complaining about Jonas on the phone, and he is being noticed by the media.

Unlike the Anglo-Americans, the Hoffmanns are German, low-key Swiss, and don't like to be in the limelight.

In order to reduce the trend, Jonas had to organize a special press conference to inform the outside world that he would return to school, and that these riches brought him not luxury, but pressure.

He will put all his money into Arosa Petroleum Company for long-term investment, at least until he graduates, and will not invest in business.

On January 15, Jonas signed a cooperation agreement with CNOOC and the Nigerian Fund, investing 240 million Swiss francs, which is 40 percent of the shares of Arossa.

Seeing that Jonas seemed to have spent all the money in his hands, the media's attention to him gradually decreased.

However, on January 16, the day the school opened, Jonas was still surrounded by many media. They seem to want to see how a billionaire conducts his classes in school.

This made Jonas helpless, so he could only choose to take a leave of absence from the school to avoid the limelight.

However, to Jonas's helplessness, an arrangement by the Agnelli family pushed him to the forefront again.

Before Christmas, Giovanne was kidnapped, and Jonas joked that he would give him a Ferrari of all sizes.

The Agnelli family was very thoughtful, and they prepared almost all the models of Ferraris from the forties to the present, a total of twenty-four.

With the exception of the first prototype and the production Ferrari later, all of these cars were loaded onto trucks and transported from Modena to Switzerland.

I don't know if the news leaked out when I was in Italy, or when I was through customs, it was known to the outside world, but when the twenty-four cars were transported to Lucerne by four trucks, they were followed by a group of reporters.

At this time, Hannah's expression when she looked at these cars was not only not surprised, but instead

And very disgusted.

"That's the character of the Italians, they never put themselves in each other's shoes. ”

Indeed, at Jonas's home, there is no such large parking lot. Without even a notice, I transported the car over, did it stop on the side of the road in the wind and rain?

Facing Giovanne, who wanted to show his credit, Hannah and Jonas couldn't even say a word of reproach, and could only express their gratitude.

As a last resort, Jonas had no choice but to rent a warehouse in the freight yard of Meghan Railway Station to temporarily park the cars.

Giovannay experienced this kidnapping and was ready to transfer to Switzerland after the New Year.

Although Switzerland has the world's largest guns per capita, most of its people are law-abiding, and there are very few criminal cases.

Foreigners entering Switzerland want to break the law at a high cost and risk, so in the whole of Europe, except for a few Nordic countries, no country has Switzerland's good security.

This has been true for generations to come.

Moreover, Switzerland is not lenient at all with the news media, and there will be no criminal liability for interviewing without permission and direct killing, so in Switzerland, paparazzi simply cannot survive.

The richest man in Brazil, the richest man in Greece, etc., all moved to live in Switzerland, mainly because they can be ordinary people in Switzerland, the environment is beautiful, and it is very safe.

Giovanne wanted to go to the University of Zurich with Jonas, but unfortunately his German was not good enough and he had to go to the Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne.

In February, the coverage of Jonas finally stopped, and Jonas made a trip to Spain to complete the signing of Arosa with the Spanish national oil company.

Although this investment is in his name, he can only get real profits, and he has no right to speak.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't be able to get involved.

However, Jonas is not worried, because the discourse is in the hands of Richie, which is much more useful than in his hands.

Now it's time for him to plan his plans to invest in the yen.

(Speed up the progress, the protagonist can't take the initiative to speed up the past, and then begin to enter the real development period.) )
