Chapter 957: Global Layout

After redeeming the Microsoft shares pledged to the bank, Hong Tao can immediately mobilize as much as $800 million in funds, but this transaction will have to be delayed for a while, and the tax filing date of April 15 will not be able to run away, otherwise no matter how the accounts are handled, a large amount of taxes will not be able to escape. This time, Yulia came with a large number of lawyers, on the one hand, to report to Hong Tao about Yahoo's listing in April, and more importantly, to ask Hong Tao how to spend this money!

It's hard to make $800 million in a year, but it's even harder to spend that $800 million in a year to invest effectively. Moreover, according to Hong Tao's expectations, it will not be 800 million yuan but 1.8 billion yuan that will be invested! If Yahoo is successfully listed, Hong Tao plans to cash out about $1 billion first and start investing in various fields around the world.

"Swallow...... Didn't I say I was going to give you a piece of the sky of your own, and now I'm going to make good on that promise. I want you to go to Europe and set up a new investment company, and the funds will come from one of the companies owned by AOL, and there is an agreement between us, and eventually I will return them with the shares. The main reason for making such a hassle is to conceal the direct connection between this new company and my other industries, and in the future, you will be an independent European company and participate in my plans, would you like to?" When the two of them woke up the next day in the first rays of the morning sun, he hugged the soft body of the swallow and began to paint flatbread again.

"So where are you going? I want to go to the United States with you. You let Yulia go to Europe! She's a European, so she's more familiar with it...... And she's been with you for years. I don't want to leave you. "Swallow said bluntly, she didn't want to go.

"Originally, I wanted her to go, too. It's a pity that she can't do it now, she's so famous, she's the center of attention everywhere she goes, and I need someone who doesn't look too big to do it. And I don't go back to the United States and Canada, I will live in China for a while, and then take Yulia back to her hometown, which I promised her a long time ago. When I send her back to the United States, I'll go where you live and wait until you have a baby. If I run away again, I really can't take the children with me, it's too annoying!" Hong Tao had already planned, he couldn't leave these women, but he couldn't stay with them for a long time, so he could only live in Canada for a while and then go to the United States, and then run back and forth between China and Europe. This life is destined to be a wandering life, this is the side effect of greed, no problem.

"Okay then...... Do you like boys or girls? You said you wouldn't have gotten pregnant last night?" No longer opens her mouth and closes her mouth to buy and sell business, she is more interested in family life, and she is no longer decisive as a strong woman, so she has to ask Hong Tao about everything. Even if she knows the answer. A night of change tore off all the masks she wore on her outside.

"As long as you give birth to it, you like it, and then talk about it. You can have as many as you want, both men and women. Do you prefer Germany or Switzerland? I would like to have the headquarters of my new company in these two countries. You can choose somewhere else, but not the UK. I hate island nations. Hong Tao is not afraid of the swallow and his own glare, he is afraid that she and herself will pout and tear up, and she is afraid of following the hair.

"Whatever, you can choose one for me, I haven't been there anyway, but I don't know German or Swiss!" The swallow coiled around Hong Tao's body like an octopus, and he didn't have any idea of what investment company or European country was in his head, and he didn't want to think about it. She just wants to hold the man in front of her now, it's good to hold on like this all the time, if it weren't for the fact that her body can't adapt to it, she still wants Hong Tao to bully her like last night, that feeling is wonderful.

"I also speak English in the business world, but with a little accent, I can get used to it quickly. Do you think we should explain it to your sister, and if you suddenly run away to Europe and don't tell her what are you going to do, she'll be sad. Hong Tao felt that it was better to tell Han Xue about this, although she would be scolded now, but it was better to take the initiative than to let her find out later.

"Are you so afraid of her, afraid that she will pluck your ears?" Hearing Hong Tao mention Han Xue, the swallow bit him lightly on the lips, taking it as punishment.

"Your sister is a hard-working woman, you will both have children in the future, but she is helpless, let her be angry if you can. When you leave, I'll explain our affairs to her, lest she tear your mouth!" In fact, Hong Tao knew very well in his heart that Han Xue already knew that he was in Han Yan's room now, as long as she didn't embarrass her too much, she wouldn't be angry for the time being. If she dared to blatantly fly with Han Yan, she would definitely not do it.

"I'd like to spend a few more days with you...... Then you promise me that you will go to Europe to find me as much as possible!" Swallow pouted not very happy, a woman in her nearly 30s was coquettish like a little girl, and the picture was very provocative.

On the last day of March, Han Yan flew directly to Zurich, Switzerland, with Rada as an employee of the Crystal Fund, where Hong Tao's private legal team had already arrived and was making preparations, and once Hong Tao had identified the person in charge of the company, they would register a new investment company and a new non-profit foundation there. This investment company is also called Xueyan, and the foundation is also the same name, as soon as he heard this name, it was given by Hong Tao, he was too lazy, he could have a ready-made one to use, he would never think about it again!

The main reason for setting up a new company in Switzerland is that the tax rate here is relatively low, especially for foreign investors, who only need to pay income tax of up to 11.5% on net profits. Moreover, the federal government does not levy inheritance tax or gift tax on inheritance and gifts, and the banking service industry is relatively developed, which is very suitable for people like Hong Tao who always want to not let others know how much money and how much property they have.

The resurrected Xueyan Investment is no longer a venture capital company, but has shifted to medium- and long-term investment, such as real estate, mining, energy and other industries. However, its business mode is still Hong Tao's consistent style, and it will never invest too much in a company, and it will never manage its investment objectives. As for which company to invest in and which company not to invest in, Yanzi has no decision-making power, she is just Hong Tao's eyes and ears, responsible for collecting the operation and news of various companies in Europe, and after sorting and classifying, she can provide it to Hong Tao. In the end, which one to vote for, how much to vote, Hong Tao will directly sue her, she only needs to follow Hong Tao's instructions and implement it to the letter.

At present, her priority is to set up the company framework first, and the employees should be hired locally, not those talented talents, only conscientious mediocre people, and at most a few more solid and down-to-earth regional managers, because Xueyan invests not only in Europe, but also in the entire African continent. In the future, Yanzi and Lada will be the heads of Hong Tao's European region, Yulia and Ah Shan will be in charge of the Americas region, and Hong Tao will also get some work for Han Xue, and she will also set up an astronomical investment company in Hong Kong, directly responsible for the investment work in the entire Asia and Australia.

According to Hong Tao's plan, every country and city in the world with stable political situation and stable development will lay an egg and slowly hatch. It is possible that the egg is a real estate purchase, or it may be a local investment in some property, or it is simply a local child who has at least one child. So he divided the world into three major pieces and handed them over to the women around him to manage. Below them are those professional managers, and all of Hong Tao's instructions are also conveyed through them. Their role is to hire different law firms and accounting firms, keep an eye on these branches under them, and do the work they have to do, and don't do the work that they don't arrange.

What Hong Tao needs are bees and ants, and it's best not to have a brain. People with independent thoughts, pursuits, and ambitions are better not to come to work in their own company, and they can't stay when they come, and when you feel that one of your ideas or ideas is beneficial to the company, what awaits you is not a reward but a letter of dismissal, because you did something you shouldn't have done.

Such a corporate structure has no vitality, nor is it innovative, and the efficiency is also very low, and the massive amount of information collected will eventually be concentrated here to Hong Tao, waiting for him to complete the processing, and then it can be conveyed layer by layer for implementation. But such a company structure has the most concentrated power, not to mention that those professional managers have no real power, even Han Yan, Yulia, and Han Xue don't have much power in their hands, and they can't make big mistakes.

Does Hong Tao need efficiency? Does he need to create energy? Does he need vitality? The answer is: not at all! What he needs now is security, the safety of funds! As long as no one helps him lose, these assets worth tens of billions of dollars are enough for him and the women and children around him to spend several lifetimes. Coupled with the healthy growth of Yahoo, Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, Dell, and AOL for him to suck blood, even if he continues to spend so much, the money will not be spent. Therefore, he does not need others to help him create wealth, as long as it is enough to prevent others from stealing, cheating, and robbing from him.

Stealing and deception have basically put an end to his highly centralized company management model, a company like him that mainly invests with his own subjective will, does not need to have too many employees at all, one hundred and ten people is already a very large scale, and the salary will not be too high, after all, they don't need to create anything. The company's operating costs are all fixed budgets, even if the salary is slightly higher and the treatment is slightly better, this kind of expenditure is completely negligible.
