Chapter 190: Philanthropy (2-in-1)
ps: Continue in the card, uncomfortable
"This year's taxes are a bit higher, and I have to spend all the cash in the country before I pay my taxes in April, otherwise paying taxes will be a heart-wrenching figure.
As for the investment, you can rest assured, there are still some undelivered futures in the market, I am waiting for the next fisherman to exchange with me, you can rest assured, there will be no problems.
What I'm worried about now is how to spend all the money, instead of keeping it in my hands and handing it over to the treasury for them to embezzle!"
Regarding his mother's concerned words and demeanor, George smiled and briefly introduced his mother and Gigi.
If it weren't for the issue of paying taxes, George didn't want to spend a lot of money at this time, and sometimes spending money was a pain, especially knowing that he would be able to maximize his benefits by waiting for a while.
Many times the market gives you time, and the opponent gives you time, but the old men in the tax bureau will not give him time, for example, if he waits for a few months now, George will definitely buy a lot of companies on the market that will be useful to him in the future at the price of cabbage.
It's just that because his income comes too quickly, especially when a part of it has already been settled, he has to pay taxes, and if he doesn't, he will have to face the IRS court and the private army, and now George doesn't think he has the ability to fight them.
Since he wants to make a cut with the Watt family, he can only rely on himself in this matter, not on them, after thinking hard, George made a difficult decision, not waiting for the appearance of cabbage, spend more than a part, let others remember personal favors is much better than paying hundreds of millions or even billions of taxes to those people in vain so that they can enjoy all kinds of open eyes.
"Well, did you make a lot of money this time?"
Qiao Li, who is used to seeing big scenes and has seen real luxury, originally didn't care much about it, after hearing George's words, her heart moved, combined with George's current words, recalled the smiling face of Smith, who had always been strong in front of George, even after being ignored by George, her face was just ugly and she didn't say anything to teach George's words, and now she understands why George's confidence is so strong.
Originally, what George said when he advised Alice on the first day, although Qiao Li was happy and excited, after all, there was no accurate number, in his opinion, George earned ten or even twenty times his previous assets were enough, and now it seems that it is far from reaching his limit.
If he is making far more money in this crisis than he is doing now, then he definitely has enough confidence to go toe-to-toe with Smith without fear of being repressed.
Interests are what those people value the most, face is nothing to them, as long as there are interests, she has been in the United States for so many years, and she has accompanied Smith to a lot of banquets, how can she not understand that in this country where interests are paramount, the rest is not important in front of money and interests.
"I don't know the specifics, but the general estimate should be about 8 billion, after all, on the day I returned to Los Angeles, I personally exchanged the 3 billion futures index with Citi, otherwise it should be more.
Of course, I'm talking about overall, there aren't many in the United States anymore, and most of them have been detained by me abroad, so that I can avoid the Fed's monitoring when investing.
Just this part of the country has enough taxes to make my heart ache for a while, and I've never hated American taxes as much as I do now, and it's no wonder that the people on Wall Street always give out big bonuses, and I understand them a little bit now. ”
Faced with his mother's inquiry, and Gigi staring at him with an expectant look, George thought about it and said it, and did not choose to hide it, after all, this is his closest person, although there are some things that even the closest people can't tell, but now that they are talking, George doesn't feel that he needs to hide it in front of them.
Since he said it, he was even less worried about leaking out, as long as the funds were no longer in the United States, even if the tax bureau clearly knew that George had these assets, there was no way to do it.
The money has been invested, and it has not flowed into the United States, even if he collects taxes around the world, there are certain loopholes that can be exploited, and Apple will do even more shamelessly in later generations, with hundreds of billions of dollars in profits every year, and hundreds of billions of dollars in cash reserves, but in the United States, he is actually losing money, not to mention, and even financially he is a big loss-maker, not only does he not have to pay taxes, but the United States also needs to subsidize it in some places in order to support it.
Looking at the two people in front of him who were a little stunned and didn't make any moves for a long time, George was also a little surprised in his heart, not that he didn't know, he was shocked, he didn't know that he had such a huge cash flow and a certain industry unknowingly.
This is still not counting the part of the funds that have been transferred to Huaxia and converted into Huaxia coins to be invested.
Thinking of this, the smile on George's face became even brighter, and he lacked background, with the support of huge cash, he could definitely ignore most of the powerful people.
"Hundredfold earnings? Shouldn't you do something, the reputation of miser vampires in America is not so good!"
As George began to stride forward as he wondered if he needed to change his cautious plans, Jory's voice rang out.
Looking at his mother, whose face had turned rosy with excitement and with an incredible look in her eyes, and Gigi, who was still immersed in shock, George nodded gently at her mother.
"$200 million, that's enough to shut some people.
Among them, I am ready to donate 50 million dollars to Harvard, take a few months off, and go abroad to make money, many people in the college know about it, but they do not exert any pressure on me, and I will continue to wander outside the school for the next period of time, and I can't talk about it without giving some sweetness.
The remaining funds are divided into two parts, 120 million will be asked to help me donate it, and you can make your own decisions as to donate it.
The remaining US$30 million will be put into the education charity fund I applied for before I left Hong Kong, and I will be able to operate it after the license is approved.
Gigi's foundation is going to be handed over to you, and when you go back, you can almost recruit troops to operate, I don't have high requirements for this foundation, as long as the funds are used properly, the objects of donations are mainly children who cannot afford to go to school in remote areas of the Chinese mainland.
By the way, the name of the foundation is Gigi Leung Scholarship Foundation. ”
In capitalism, charity is a matter that accompanies a person's life, and as long as he has the ability, no one will refuse to contribute to the lofty cause of charity.
Especially in the group of the rich, charity is indispensable to operate as a business, which not only has the problem of tax avoidance, but also the factor of winning a good reputation.
In the United States and Europe, where the economy is developing rapidly, they have a relatively complete medical system and relief system.
Under such a perfect system, there are still a large number of people who do not have access to normal medical care and assistance, not because the state is inactive, but because these people belong to the gray area, they have nothing but an identity, and they are not within the scope of the state's assistance.
In such a situation, it is inevitable to give birth to a lot of rescue groups and special charity groups, and their existence can be a good way to supplement this lack for the country.
Over time, this has become a link between the rich and the rich who can get a good reputation affirmed by the society without paying much, for example, the Rockefeller generation, his start and development is with a strong blood type, although he became the world's first billionaire at that time, but his reputation is not good, after the real development to the peak of the industry, Rockefeller began to carry out the great cause of throwing money
In that era, the primitive accumulation stage was rarely without blood, dirty, in order not to let future generations carry the same reputation, and in order to save the reputation of the Rockefeller family, one of his decisions started the rapid development of American philanthropy, and at the same time, in his unremitting donation, over time, the philanthropist Rockefeller appeared in front of the world, but the miser capitalist Rockefeller disappeared.
With the gradual increase in the proportion of inheritance tax collection, charity can be a good way to completely hand over assets to future generations under the condition of tax avoidance, and soon this has become an industry that the wealthy are vying to enter.
With the development of society, the purpose of charitable foundations does not exist alone in the two systems of relief and medical care, and under the money lobbying of the rich, it has been extended to many aspects, thus covering more industries.
The topic is a bit off, you can go to the Internet to search for charity and take a closer look.
"Me?"
Gigi, who came to her senses, couldn't help but stretch out her finger and point at herself, her mouth wide enough to stuff a duck egg, some disbelieving eyes and expressions, and a slightly rising mouth, so that George couldn't help but walk in front of her and sit down, stretching out his hand and gently pinching his face.
"Yes, the charitable foundation named after you, education is the foundation of a country, while paying for this foundation, you can use your influence to guide more people to pay attention to poor areas and help them get out of the predicament, which is a good complement to your image. ”
Looking at the delicate face in front of him, George instantly thought of the situation in later generations when she began to promote to those rich people in the places she had seen while participating in performances in various places, hoping that they could dedicate their love and support to those places.
I thought more of my hometown in my previous life, he will go back in this life, but he doesn't know when he will go back, and now his every move is no longer free to move around with the gentle pat on the shoulder of the head of Macau, and every move will be interpreted by others more.
Will the woman in front of her, who makes her fall in love, follow the established trajectory again to her former distant hometown like in her previous life?
When I think of this, George feels that the world is truly amazing!
"May I?"
Gigi, who recovered from the shock, looked at George, who was sitting next to him and did not shy away from Qiao Li's gaze and grabbed his hand tightly, his face turned a little embarrassed, and he wanted to withdraw his hand from George's hand, but after trying twice, he felt that George was constantly trying to prevent her from pulling her hand away, so he gave up his idea and asked George.
"Why not? You just need to ask your team to look for some information about poor areas, and after a field trip, they will see that the matter is true, and after evaluation, you can allocate funds and find a builder to start building.
As for teachers, you can look for them in some charity groups in Hong Kong, and I believe that many university students and people who love charity will actively participate, after all, this is a good thing.
Of course, I will also set aside relevant positions for them in some industries of Huaxia Investment, as long as they pass the assessment, they can receive an offer of employment, I believe this will be attractive to many people.
Just treat it as an ordinary thing, there are many charitable organizations in Xiangjiang, and there are many celebrities who are willing to charity, and have their own charitable foundations, after returning to Xiangjiang, you can learn from those predecessors and see how they do it. ”
Seriously doing charity is a great catalyst for a star, and in many cases her image can be positive, even if at some point he may do something inappropriate, and in the case of positive points, there will be many people who will automatically whitewash him.
Just like in the Internet era in later generations, when the mainland unanimously boycotted most of the actors in Hong Kong, Gu Heizai is one of the few people who will not be boycotted, every time someone uses his experience and bad movies to provoke trouble, he will be counterattacked by countless Internet armies with his low-key non-stop donation of charity, leaving many people speechless.
There is a deeper reason why George pushed Gigi out in advance, because of him, a few high-level officials already know the relationship between the two, and in the absence of any changes between the two, they are one, a gigi who does charity and uses his influence to do his part for the country, will invisibly add a lot of impression points to the Qiao family.
As long as the impression is there, even if grandparents pass away in the future, the Qiao family will not be involved in the power center, and they will be taken care of in some ways if they choose to do business or do something else, of course, these George will not say it, and some things can only be understood but not spoken.
Of course, this is just an appetizer, George will contribute to more aspects, he wants to make it his second home, although he is originally from that land, but unfortunately others don't know.
He believed that in the event of defeat in the struggle against the United States in the future, he would have a good place to live, and that only by taking all aspects into account could he remain undefeated in the future.
