Gu Biao inspected Tiankun's San Francisco headquarters for two or three days in a row, and sorted out all the things that should be arranged and sorted out.

asked Tiankun to provide Wang An with referral and outsourcing of friends, and they were also appeased.

At the end of the meeting and the company's holiday, Gu Biao noticed: Time flies quickly, and tomorrow will be Christmas Eve.

In this wave, he started from the premeditated pledge of Wang An Computer in the hands of Huangciti Bank and the completion of the privatization and delisting process of Wang An Computer. He has been in the United States for more than three months in a row to make drastic rectifications and reorganize resources and arrange development tasks.

There are still a lot of private matters to deal with in China, and Gu Biao is already a little like an arrow.

Moreover, the software-biased R&D headquarters set up by Tiankun Company in Qiantang is now running very well. In terms of game development, Silicon Valley is mainly engaged in integration and third-party coordination of external resources. The studios developed by the first party of Tiankun have mainly moved back to Qiantang, so the focus of follow-up inspection and guidance should also be moved back to China.

Seeing that everyone in the company was almost gone, Gu Biao was not in a hurry, so he asked the secretary to make him a cup of coffee, and slowly drank it and thought about things.

When he went abroad, Xiao Sui had only been in his stomach for two or three months, and now it has been almost six months. Considering that the doctor said that the development lag caused by split transplantation and IVF culture is one month later than normal pregnancy, it is equivalent to five months for normal people outside.

Gu Biao felt that he really owed something in his heart.

The main reason is that a series of operations brought about by Wang An's computer are more complicated than he expected at the beginning, and the delay is longer.

He originally planned to get everything done in two months, and then rush back to China, waiting for his woman's figure to be still pregnant, and hurriedly held the wedding. Now it seems that the time is a little out of the way.

Debt is debt, and Gu Biao has nothing to regret.

After all, he is busy with big things, and it is related to whether Chinese can have their own closed operating system that can be played well in the market in the PC era.

For the sake of the great cause of the country and the nation, there is no way to slightly reduce the romance of children's private feelings. He can compensate and pity his women in every way, but he will not regret it.

Women are generally three months to nearly four months old, it is not suitable for tossing, because to have a safe pregnancy, most experienced people who get on the bus first and then make up the ticket will not be married at this time.

However, four and a half months later, until more than five months, it is the golden period for weddings, and at this time, the children are actually not that old, and a little attention to the abdomen and inhalation can also cover up the past. After six months, it becomes more and more impossible to hide day by day, making everyone in the audience realize that if they are pregnant before marriage, it is really not good for decent people in high society.

Gu Biao had to think about either waiting for Xiao Sui to give birth and then thinking about the official marriage, or thinking of other ways to cover up the child's date of birth a little at that time.

In the 80s, information was not circulating, and it was okay for capital to pay attention to the professional ethics of the world's top private hospitals, and it was completely okay to cover it up for a while.

However, Gu Biao will not be arbitrary, he must discuss with the women around him, and they will do whatever they want, and fully take care of their feelings.

It is necessary to take good care of the emotions of the girls in the family, and if you offend and hurt outside, you can't completely leave it alone.

Because Gu Biao was on the eve of the long holiday, that is, when he got off work on December 23, he temporarily thought of asking the little secretary Li Wantong to help him book a return ticket, so he will work the night shift tomorrow at the earliest.

Calculating the time, Gu Biao has to spend Christmas Eve in the United States.

But this is also very good, because the time in China is earlier than in the United States, even if Gu Biao is on the 24th early in the morning and arrives at Xiangjiang's apartment 16 hours later, it will already be the 25th local time in Xiangjiang.

So it is impossible for him to rush to China for Christmas Eve anyway, no matter how early the plane is, it is nothing more than to let him spend Christmas Eve on the plane. He prefers to spend Christmas Eve in the United States and then have Christmas dinner with his family after landing in Hong Kong.

After thinking about it, Gu Biao instructed in a call back to the little secretary: "Since it's tomorrow night's flight, you can rebook it for me to take off from Washington, not a stopover in San Francisco." Also, get me a copy of the one I'm going to Washington tomorrow morning. ”

The female secretary couldn't understand for a while why the boss had to go to Washington first and then take the first flight back home from Washington when he was in San Francisco. But since the boss asked for it, she had to do it.

There are much more domestic flights in the United States, you can buy them ten times a day, and the temporary purchase is nothing more than a more expensive ticket, and the money is not a matter for Gu Biao.

So, on Christmas Eve, Gu Biao took the gift and went to Washington to apologize first, and kindly asked Ye Su to give him face and enjoy the Christmas Eve dinner. (After eating, get on the plane and flash people)

……

"Xiaoye, are you off work? It's fun to have Christmas. ”

"Are there any applications from the United States for cultural exchange activities?"

"Thanks, no. ”

When he got off work, Ye Kun avoided the gossip of some aunt-level colleagues and left as plainly as possible.

She drove the five-year-old Fat Diack Firebird abandoned by Gu Biao and slowly drove back to the abandoned villa on the Potomac River.

These are really not gifts from Gu Biao from her, but Gu Biao really shouldn't throw them away. In 82, the Firebird had just come out, and at that time, "Thunderbolt Ranger" was a hit in the United States, and it was quite cool to drive this car. What's more, at that time, Gu Biao was still an international student and was studying for a doctorate, so he needed such a persona.

Five years have passed, Gu Biao is no longer a Ph.D., but a 100% business tycoon, and he is also very well-known in the United States.

That kind of cool sports car that is young is not dignified enough, and it is only worth throwing away. Ye Su is nothing more than waste utilization.

Christmas Eve is not suitable for eating out, but Ye Kun doesn't have that much time to cook, so the maid in the villa bought semi-finished products to make them. Since the villa was abandoned by Gu Wei, Ye Kun still hired the original maid to clean and cook, but the salary was paid by Ye Kun himself.

"You can get off work and go back to spend Christmas Eve yourself. Ye Su took out two Franklins, stuffed them in a red envelope, and handed them to the maid. made the little girl from a poor Chinese family very grateful.

After a while, Gu Biao arrived, and it was indeed Cadillac Weile, who was specially used by Gu Biao when he was in Washington, and went straight here after picking him up from the airport.

"Yezi, it's been okay lately, it's not too hard. Gu Biao smiled and greeted earnestly.

"You're embarrassed to ask, you guy, ruining my reputation. After Ye Kun sneered and opened the door, he went straight back to the restaurant, sat at the table with his face away, and gave Gu Wei a back to experience for himself.

What she said about "ruining my reputation" is, of course, referring to the things that circulated in the top circle of Wall Street about Gu Biao and Wang Lie's jealousy and tearing

At that time, Gu Biao needed to use these rumors to convince the people of Citibank, "Gu Biao is young and crazy, since Wang Lie has offended him, then Gu Biao only wants Wang An's technical reserves and talent team, and does not want to leave Wang An's brand." Therefore, after Gu Biao hollows out Citi's talents and patents, the empty shell is worthless, and he should sell it off quickly."

Gu Xiao could only be cheeky: "Well, this is all for the sake of the country and the general interests of the nation, the PC era will soon come in full, don't you want to see us Chinese have our own operating system? ”

As he spoke, Gu Biao took out some documents, put them on the desk, and pushed them over in a low-key manner.

"There are two properties here, one in the next door in McLean, and the other in Greenwich, Connecticut, both of which are fairly spacious estates with no property tax at all. I hope it will be easier for you to work in the United States in the future. In addition, yachts and helicopters are also equipped for you, all registered in Connecticut, no tax. ”

Gu Biao said it very lightly, each of these estates is at least 20 million US dollars, but it is not the same concept as the DC villa where Gu Biao and Ye Kun are now, because those are real rich estates, with wide private woodlands and lawns, often more than 5 acres.

Coupled with the yacht and helicopter, Gu Biao's gift this time is worth more than 50 million US dollars.

However, considering the high price of Wang An's shares, which Citibank bit at the beginning, it was more than $500 million higher than Gu Wei's final transaction price and mental budget.

Even if Gu Biao could bargain in other ways, the move of creating false contradictions played at least half of the role.

A slight damage to Ye Kun's reputation, in exchange for huge benefits, and then take out at most one or two percent of the difference to compensate the victims, is not a big deal.

"You have done your homework very carefully, you know that Virginia and Connecticut have loopholes, too, the rich areas are over there, follow other rich people, and you can't go wrong to avoid taxes." Ye Su thought for a moment expressionlessly, and then smiled bitterly and teased.

She realized that Gu Biao didn't give her a mansion yacht before, because she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to pay taxes.

And giving her cash directly is easy to hurt her face.

That's why Gu Biao is very restrained, and every time he cleverly uses excuses such as "waste" and "Hermes's free trial suit for the Monaco royal family", which not only gives her things but also does not make her feel indebted.

Now, it has finally developed to take advantage of the loopholes of the local tax laws in the United States and pick the tax havens of the rich to give gifts.

Many poor people in China may not know that the most famous rich areas in the metropolises of New York and Washington are not actually within the territory of New York State or DC.

Because the United States is a typical state with independent tax laws, in places like New York, land taxes are super high, and the cost of property ownership is huge. Those tens of millions of dollars in Manhattan have to pay more than a million dollars in property taxes every year.

Gu Biao, the Potomac Riverview villa he bought seven years ago, has to pay more than $10,000 a year because it is in the DC zone.

Therefore, DC's celebrities and dignitaries will at most get a small house that is convenient for commuting to work in DC, and they will not be too extravagant, and would rather go to the upper reaches of the Potomac River, in Virginia, and close to DC's McLean District to get a big estate. It is only 10 kilometers from the White House and 5 kilometers from Georgetown University.

In the same way, the super-rich in New York like to go to Greenwich, Connecticut, because New York City is an extended corner of southeastern New York, New Jersey is across the river to the west of Manhattan, and Greenwich is Connecticut across Long Island to the east.

And no matter how big the estate is in Greenwich Lane, there is no property tax, and the same estate is in the Long Island area of New York, and paying taxes can kill you.
