Link made an appointment with Fren, but he never expected that the other party would come over overnight on a private business jet.

Welcoming people to the living room, Link saw that the time was already more than ten o'clock in the evening: "You have eaten and come again!"

"Yes. Flen Pitt smiled at little Hannah on Link's lap. The little thing has been bathed, and is wearing her favorite bunny pajamas, and she has been a big bunny. "Little Hannah can walk!"

The little guy had one finger in his mouth, leaning on Link's lap and tilting his head and eyes to look at Fren for a moment, she thought she had seen this adult.

Link picked her up and put her on top of him, took her fingers out of her mouth, and wiped her fingers as he said to her, "Remember this uncle? He gave you a white rabbit!"

Little Hannah's eyes lit up when she heard the white rabbit, as if she had suddenly realized, and then smiled sweetly at Fren.

When Fren saw it, he smiled and waved at the little thing, "It seems that little Hannah recognizes me." Hello. Little angel!"

Hannah raised her right hand and caught it in the air, which was considered a wave of her hand.

Furlen laughed and said, "God, she's so cute." It reminds me of when my daughter was a child. ”

Link laughs and says, "She's really cute!"

Then Ms. Hammer came to Link and said, "Link, let me take care of her! As soon as she started working, she set a regular schedule for little Hannah. But when she sleeps at night, it is the hardest to observe, she has to play with the little one in the room for a long time, and the little one is willing to sleep obediently.

Link saw that the little guy was twisted by Flann's laughter and stretched out his hand to Ms. Hammer, and handed the person to Ms. Hammer.

When Ms. Hemmer carried Hannah back to her room, Flon put away her smile and said, "Are you in trouble?"

Link shook his head and said, "It's not a hassle." He stood up and went and came over with a bottle of brandy and two glasses, and said. "It's like you've signed up for a fund. Is it a charitable fund?"

Furlen smiled again and said, "Sort of, what, you want to donate?"

Link sat down and nodded, pouring his wine as he said, "I do have this idea." But I'm also getting ready to sign up for one. ”

"Charitable funds?"

Link nodded, smiled and whispered, "It doesn't matter if what the documentary says is true or not." I don't even want to give money to those people. And I heard that rich people should do charity. ”

Flon grinned and picked up a glass of wine, touched it with him and said, "You're right. Almost all wealthy Americans will take the initiative to do charity. Because we can see better. We make money to pay our taxes, and those taxes end up in the hands of the bankers. We found out that we were working for them. So Gates donated most of his assets to Mrs. Gates's charitable fund, so that the money would not pay more than half of his estate taxes to the vampires. Other rich people thought the same thing. ”

"I think I'm kind of a rich man, so I should play some charity as well. Link took a sip of his wine, leaned back comfortably on the couch, and continued. "Two days ago, my lawyer told me that I was going to pay $1.8 billion in taxes last year. He asked me if I would feel distressed. ”

Fren laughed and said, "I thought you didn't care." You do have to pay that much tax. And that's on the premise that you don't have to pay state income tax. ”

"It's illegal for the poor to do charity, and in that case, why don't I do it. ”

In the United States, the federal personal income tax has fallen from the maximum of 39.% four years ago to 35%, and many states have said that individuals are subject to a state personal income tax of 1% to 11% except for seven states. Some states also charge a local income tax.

Then the maximum tax amount may reach about 50%. That's why the lottery in the United States, if you get it all at once, doesn't exceed 50% of the prize amount.

However, Link's main income last year came from speculation, which was a capital gain, and some of the income was tax-exempt. Otherwise, he would have to pay more taxes.

"What does this have to do with you asking me to come?"

"I'm going to put the fund in Stoll. ”

"You're not afraid of losing everything?" said Flen, seeing that he was serious, seriously. "You know Stoll isn't in a good shape. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you have some income every year. I just want to reduce some taxes so that the money doesn't depreciate. ”

Furlen thought for a moment and said, "How many will there be?"

"I'm going to cut my taxes by about half a year. ”

Fren made a rough estimate. If Link didn't have the same amount of speculative income as before, he would have to rely on farm income in the future. Probably not much. He smiled and nodded, "That should be fine." ”

He paused and said, "If you have more cash, I suggest you buy some Treasury bonds." The new year's Treasury bond sales will begin next week. This time it's 500 billion dollars. Partially subscribed in-house, mostly sold online. It is said that the interest rate on government bonds this year is as high as 6.5%. ”

In the past few years, in order to reduce the national debt, the United States had to lower interest rates and reduce spending on many projects. A lot of green paper has been printed, and the national debt has come down, but inflation is also very strong. Now that the new president has come to power, of course, he is preparing for tax reform, tightening monetary policy, and increasing national debt to increase state spending.

Link had also heard that interest income from Treasury bonds was tax-free.

And he did have a lot of cash, and it wasn't of much use. Putting it in the bank is nothing but money in the bank. If you take a part out to buy government bonds. At least let Qian Jue have a better ability to retain value.

Fren did give him a good piece of advice: "I'll pay attention. By the way, I heard that there are rumors that in order to prevent some people from doing charitable tax evasion, legislation is being enacted to levy a re-gift tax on donations to funds owned by relatives. ”

"There's a rumor about it. But I don't think this decree will pass. ”

Link doesn't think either. Still, he felt that he should avoid some trouble, saying, "Or I'll donate the money to your fund." You donate about the same amount to my fund. ”

Fren was stunned for a moment before he said, "This is indeed a good way." That's why I said that decree would be very difficult to pass. Because even if it passes, it will not work. ”

After a pause, he said, "But we can't do that blatantly." Maybe we can be a little worse every year, but three to five years the same. ”

"It's a great idea. ”

"When the fund makes money, it can be used for charity in countries like Africa. Those countries are very inadequately managed their funds. Use those funds to do high-spread trade in countries with low tax rates and no shareholder information. The offshore company's funds are still yours. In the future, the tax rate can also be reduced by borrowing money from those companies. ”

Flon said, laughing, "You know, a lot of people nowadays just spin around and put the charity money back in their pockets. ”

Link was stunned when he listened. He really didn't think he could play like that. It seems that he is still a rookie in this regard.

"In fact, there are many projects that can reduce taxes. For example, if you invest in the new energy industry, the investment can be reduced from taxes, and the income generated can be reduced from taxes. ”

"Really?"

"Don't you know? I thought you knew about it a long time ago. Doesn't Hanse Farm have a solar power plant?"

"It's Matthew who does the tax returns. I didn't look very closely. Link thought back for a moment, and it seemed that there was indeed a tax-free program for special investments in it.

"If you have enough money, you can invest in new energy. That's not a small tax cut. And the income can also be partially tax-deductible. ”

Link was thoughtful.

Furren was about to say more. Link's phone rang suddenly. He took it out and looked at it, and it turned out to be Lily's call. He gestured to Fren and answered the phone: "Lily, are you looking for me?"

"Link. You go and take a look at your social networking pages. It looks like it's been tampered with by hackers!"

"What happened?"

"I don't know, I was still reading your post just now, and a lot of the content in the refresh results have changed. ”

Link asked, "Is the entire website under attack?"

"My own has not been tampered with, I don't know anyone else's. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, Lily. I'll just take a look on the Internet. ”

When he hung up, Fren asked, "What happened?"

"My personal social network may have been tampered with by hackers. He didn't go to the study while he spoke, and directly used his mobile phone to surf the Internet.

Fren also took out his mobile phone to surf the Internet.

Link finds that he can't log in to his account at all, and the password is incorrect.

Fren looked at his phone for a while, then turned the screen of his phone around: "Look, your webpage has become a [third] level movie recommendation page." ”

Link said, "Show me." I can't log in to my account!"

Furlen handed him the phone. He took the video clip of a small movie hanging on the headline of his social media page, and a large section of website advertising. This site is also a foreign site.

He glanced at the upload time of the ad, which was five minutes ago. He pulled down the page, only to find a blank space. All of his previous posts were deleted.

He returned the phone to Fren and said, "It looks like it was really hacked by hackers." As he spoke, he picked up his phone again and began to seek to retrieve his account. He thought it was going to be a bit of a problem. As a result, he easily changed his password and logged into his account without any obstacles.

As soon as he landed on the page, he deleted the ad.

"It doesn't just seem like your web page has been attacked. Fren said when he was ready. "I looked at eighteen personal social media pages and found one that had also been tampered with. One of them is still the social networking page of a female star who is neither popular nor black. Furlen thought for a moment and said. "It doesn't seem to be specifically for you. ”

It's just that the security of this social networking site is also too poor. The user's web page was tampered with.

Link posted a statement that his account had been compromised and left a few words of apology.

Listening to Fren's words, he also watched for a while, but he only looked at the pages of the big stars or Internet celebrities who had the most followers. After looking at more than two dozen of them, he didn't find any tampered with. He also checked the customer service number of the social networking site and said with a smile: "It's hard to say." I don't know how many are more popular than my page, but advertising is certainly the one with the most attention. He said and dialed the phone.

To find the website's customer service, the reality was answered by the robot, and finally it was connected by the customer service staff.

He told him about his situation and asked the website to investigate. And ask the website to restore the data before the page as soon as possible.
