Chapter 88 (Overhauled, please collect it first, and read it later)
There was a toy expert at home, and Sunflower seized the opportunity to learn more from Lin Zhilan.
However, when girls talk to each other, they are easily swayed by emotions. Originally, I was still talking about business, but when the topic was talking, I might turn around to 108,000 miles away!
Some of the words were more private, and Lin Yi was not easy to listen to, so he had to go out to challenge the Rubik's Cube.
That night, the two girls lay down and talked all night. The next morning, Xiang Yanghua signed a check and started a partnership with Lin Zhilan.
The two girls signed the contract in a similar way.
Lin Yi was very strange when he saw it, and he asked Lin Zhilan: "You are still a few months away from becoming an adult." The guardian of Sunflower's side, I can sign on her behalf, but your signature is invalid!"
The beautiful girl smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, I have my own way!"
Seeing her say this, Lin Yi stopped being verbose. As for the girl's check, it was given by Lin Yi. Otherwise, "Project Transformers", do you have to ask for instructions and report everywhere?
This is the first time that Sunflower has used such a large sum of money. As she wrote $100,000, a fine layer of sweat oozed from the tip of her nose.
Sure enough, no matter what the mind is, people always need to exercise. If you don't experience some wind and rain, you will definitely be weak and timid when you do big things in the future.
At Lin Zhilan's suggestion, the new company with the Transformers patent was opened in the BVI of the British Virgin Islands and became a so-called offshore company.
There are two major benefits here: one is the toy industry, which is usually OEM in Asia and then sold in Europe and the United States. The BVI's Companies Act is simple and easy to implement, which greatly reduces the difficulty of international trade.
Mr. Pence from the Legal Affairs Department said this. Therefore, Lin Yi and the others can easily understand. But the second benefit needs to be explained by Lin Zhilan:
"For example, Paradise Games makes money in the U.S. and has to pay taxes to the U.S. government. After the rest of the money is transferred back to Hong Kong, there will be another tax. ”
After Lin Yi heard this, his angry eyes darkened, isn't this double taxation?
Seeing that Lin Yi was about to faint, the beautiful girl smiled mischievously: "I'm just giving an example." In fact, as long as you do not operate in Hong Kong, or do not consume Hong Kong resources, there will be no secondary taxation. ”
"Transformers is a kind of intellectual property. The BVI is very convenient for companies to transact with different sovereigns.
Since someone knows more about Transformers than himself, Lin Yi no longer cares. As for the sales of the Rubik's Cube in the United States, as well as user feedback, they were all handed over to Lin Zhilan.
More important things are waiting for Lin Yi. The more than $3 million in Paradise Games needs to be spent as soon as possible. Prepayment is not cost-effective and is not conducive to accumulating bank credit.
Mr. Pence, Mr. Pence, a professor of economics – these days, Lin Yi has frequently attacked and consulted experts on the relationship between tax avoidance and investment. Now, I finally figured it out.
The company's efficiency is too good, but it is also a happy trouble. If those profits are used for personal enjoyment, and the tax payment is as high as 50%-70%, it will be Lin Yi's life.
However, if you use it to buy stocks, or expand reproduction, and add President Ford's 75-year tax cut law, the tax burden can be reduced to 25%-36%.
It's no wonder that the boss will always pay more attention to the topic of various tax policies. If Lin Yi doesn't think about it seriously, he will definitely be pit by the IRS with a bloody face!
In short, if you want to pay less taxes and spend money in a way that is good for the U.S. economy or can increase jobs.
And if you make a venture capital and lose money this year, lose money next year, and make money the year after, after a few years of profit and loss merger, Lin Yi will pay taxes again, which is much fairer.
He had seen the topic of encouraging venture capital in Economics. Lin Yi even thinks that it is scholars like Samuelson who have influenced U.S. science and technology policy. Through tax means, the rich Americans have been forced onto the road of venture capital!
Pay attention to personal enjoyment - high tax rate, and promote scientific and technological progress - low tax rate. Perhaps, the reason why Silicon Valley can become Silicon Valley is also one of the reasons why such a policy tilt is also a reason.
Since the general trend is like this, Lin Yi certainly took advantage of the trend. Gold mines abound in Silicon Valley, mined a day earlier and harvested a day earlier.
Lin Yi carefully calculated that if he bought Intel or Walmart shares, after three years, he would be able to earn ten times the income, which was already very good.
The same amount of money, if used for venture capital, will be at least 100 times more reaped if the company goes public three years later.
Bypassing Stanford University, Lin Yi drove into Shashan Road. Continue on, passing through the professor housing complex and into the back half of the road.
For two and a half months, he has inquired in many ways and learned that most of the venture capital companies in Silicon Valley are gathered in this area.
Although the economic crisis in the first two years has caused most of the startups to fall, and half of the venture capital has dispersed, there are still some VCs who still persevered.
Sequoia Capital is here, its fame, Lin Yi is like thunder!
Investing in Apple, Cisco, Google, Oracle, and many other companies, but Lin Yi can't remember clearly. These great successes are the proud works of Sequoia.
Thinking back on this information, Lin Yi had a delusion:
Could it be that the boss of Sequoia is also a reborn guest? Moreover, he is still handsome and rich with Google?
Compared with others, he is the dick silk among the traversers!
If it has nothing to do with crossing and rebirth, then there must be something extraordinary about the other party, which is worth learning from himself - Lin Yi came here just to try his luck.
His car had already been grinding forward for a kilometer. But the building here, there is no company nameplate at all. Those simple house numbers, with only numbers on them, make it completely confusing.
This section of the road is only three or four kilometers, and the car has already reached the end. Lin Yi sighed, feeling that his luck was really bad, and he didn't even find anything.
It's not a good habit to give up easily. He turned around and returned to the café he had passed earlier. Lin Yi ordered a drink, sat under the parasol on the side of the street, and pondered while sipping.
After a while, two foreigners came over and sat on chairs not far away.
Their quiet conversation lasted only a minute, and then their voices grew louder and louder.
The content of the conversation between the two turned out to be venture capital! Lin Yi pretended not to care, adjusted the angle slightly, and listened attentively to the conversation.
The young man advised: "The situation is improving, as long as we hold on a little longer, we will definitely be able to reap the rewards!"
The middle-aged man was already very impatient, and his retort kept rising: "Of the more than 20 companies, none of them have been able to go public! It's been three years!
In less than five minutes, the conversation broke up. The middle-aged man let out the cruel words of divestment, and then left the coffee shop in a hurry.
The young man, shaking the spoon, kept stirring up the coffee, but he didn't see a quote for a long time.
After a short while, Lin Yi got up and walked across from the man. He gestured to the empty chair and said hello, "Sorry, I heard your conversation." Mind if I sit here?"
The other party was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted and agreed to Lin Yi to sit down.
The young man did not ask him what was going on, nor did he show any anger at the eavesdropping just now. He just looked at Lin Yi and waited for the other side to explain.
At such an age and such a cultivation, Lin Yi admires it very much. He was not in a hurry to speak, but carefully observed.
The white young man opposite, both in height and size, is somewhat similar to Lin Yi, but his face is softer. But that pair of lion eyebrows are really eye-catching.
Lin Yi remembered that China's founding prime minister seemed to be a lion's eyebrow. I heard that people with this kind of eyebrow shape dare to act boldly and are very responsible!
At this point of observation, Lin Yi said honestly: "My name is Yi and Lin. Opened a company nearby called Paradise Games. Because of tax issues, we are looking for new investment channels. ”
Lin Yi's frankness pried open the young man's mouth: "Tim, DFJ Venture Capital." Paradise Games I know, the company that has recently made a name for itself. ”
