Chapter 167: Thanks
"Gates, I really can't do it, I don't have enough knowledge, and I need to recharge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Li Mo said.
He thought to himself, I'm not a monster, you are a monster, if I don't recharge, I can't make a big mess next, and there will be a big mistake soon.
Li Mo picked twelve "unbehaved" students, but in the eyes of the above, Li Mo was a good child.
His six exam questions are a bit eye-catching, but his heart is not bad, he loves his country and hometown, and he also has a clear understanding of the prosperity of the United States.
The so-called private enterprises, there may be some leaders who have ideas, but Li Mo's starting point is still good, he wants to use private enterprises to prosper the country, not to be a capitalist.
The views of the people are recognized by most of the leaders.
Don't ask how the answer was known above, Li Mo didn't think that he could hide the answer from the above, the reason why he told these students not to say it was just to avoid causing more controversy.
Maybe Li Mo's political outlook is indeed a bit problematic...... But counting on Li Mo's big point, he can have a correct political outlook, and it is very good to grasp the general direction.
In general, Li Mo is a very well-behaved, quiet, and low-key child.
In fact, to a certain extent, Li Mo is also regarded as a small special zone, which is different from the elderly, and the elderly are also technical work, but the technical work in terms of eating has little to do with science and technology. Li Mo is involved in the cutting-edge industry of science and technology, and it is a face-to-face game with capitalism, which has greater reference value.
Li Mo has been going abroad frequently during this time, and he is also paying attention to ...... But in a few months, they will be at a loss again. Well, four million dollars doesn't matter, ten million dollars doesn't matter, what about hundreds of millions of dollars?
Bill Gates doesn't believe it, recharge, with your IQ, flip through a book at home, and you will graduate from college. Anyway, he regarded Li Mo's schooling as a strange disease of Li Mo, maybe these smart people always have some quirky habits, and Bill Gates can't control it, he said another thing: "Li, can you let me participate in your companies?"
It's normal to ask, as the returns of these purse funds are getting bigger and bigger, more and more people are making such requests, not to mention smart people like Bill Gates.
Li Mo wrinkled his face, it is okay to participate in shares, but now that he participates in shares, how much money can it be worth?
If he offered to exchange Microsoft's shares, Bill Gates would be furious.
He thought for a moment and said, "Gates, do you know that Paul called just now and complained about you...... In fact, these fund companies are a disguise, you know. There are a lot of opportunities like this, and although I don't see many opportunities, I will be patient and pay attention, and there will always be. Gates, do you know? How much study time and creative time did I delay for this opportunity? Where did the time go, it was to read the bunch of newspapers that Hollick brought me, including the Wall Street Journal, which I had to read in every issue. Only then did we find out the useful information bit by bit from these news. ”
Bill Gates is silent on the other end of the phone, if a smart person can find useful information from these newspapers, the key is easy to say, how many people can do it?
"Gates, there's a chance next time, but trust me. ”
"And?"
"I'm really a little unsure about this, and I'll definitely let you know when it's time to get it. ”
"Good. Bill Gates happily hung up the phone, as long as Li Mo took him to play, it didn't matter what kind of futures it was, or the stock market.
He faintly regretted that Paul did not have any money, but he still had a lot of money in his hands, and he was not at ease, so he did not take it out together, otherwise the income would have doubled or tripled this time. How much is two or three times? If you don't get it right, more than 10 million dollars, or even 20 million dollars, or even more, will be slipped away by yourself in a moment of hesitation. Think about when I first started my business, I had to ask my mother to help me for thousands of dollars......
Anyway, Gates didn't sleep well that night, and when he went to work the next day, his employees asked in surprise, BOSS, what's wrong with you?
Bill Gates smiled bitterly twice and didn't say a word.
Li Mo didn't sleep well, and one after another, various shareholders of Microsoft called.
By the time they were about to go to bed, it was dawn.
Li Mo went to school in a sluggish state, and Teacher Huang asked with great concern: "Li Mo, your illness has not cleared up yet, if you are not well, go to the doctor first." ”
"It's okay, Mr. Huang, it's just a little uncomfortable, the doctor said that I was okay and could be discharged, so I was discharged early. Li Mo said.
Li Mo has been much better in the past two years, and when he came to the city, he was not in good health, there were no major illnesses, and there were constant minor illnesses and small disasters, with a cold today and a cough tomorrow, which made the teachers a little worried.
Li Mo knew in his heart that he was much better than himself in his previous life, otherwise in the two years when Li Mo was in the first and second years of junior high school, it was the time when he kept getting sick, and he became a frequent visitor to Dr. Chen's house.
Since the second year of junior high school, he has become healthier and healthier, nutrition is indeed a problem, this is not compared, otherwise with the current Li Mo and Li Mo in the previous life, the height can be three centimeters apart.
"Did the doctor really tell you to be discharged?"
"Yes, Mr. Huang, I am a person who is very afraid of death. ”
"This is a class, be serious, since they let you out of the hospital, you can study with peace of mind, look at your physical condition at night, if you haven't cleared up, you won't come to the evening self-study, rest early, you know?"
"Thank you, Mr. Huang, for your concern. ”
After class, many students came around with concern and asked.
Who asked Li Mo to ask for a sick note...... Guo Zirong also came to the side, there were many people, she was embarrassed to ask, and it wasn't until after school that Li Mo called for food in the cafeteria, and Guo Zirong came over.
"You're not going home for dinner?"
"Why are you so fierce. ”
"Am I called a murderer?"
"Don't kill me. ”
"Okay, I'm not allowed to murder you," Li Mo nodded funny, girls, what should I do, they are arrogant, and they have to let it.
"Li Mo, where did you see a doctor? I saw that the door of your house has been closed for several days. ”
"Guo Zirong, let me tell you the truth, I didn't get sick this time, but went out to make a big gamble, and even your book was used as a gambling book. ”
"What is my Ben?" Guo Zirong asked, and also remembered, it was not her Ben, it was his wife's Ben, she said angrily: "You don't have a proper shape all day long, so you like to talk nonsense." ”
"It's really okay, you go back to eat, otherwise your parents won't worry. ”
"If you get sick or have something else, be sure to let me know. ”
"Listen to you. ”
Guo Zirong rode her bicycle home.
National Day is coming.
Hao Like rushed to Chao City, at this time, he admired Li Mote, and even saw the subway coming, Li Mo asked him to jump on the subway track, saying that you are safe and sound, Hao Like can really jump if he can't get it.
He began by saying, "Thank you, Reagan. ”
Why thank Reagan, because of Reagan's low tax policy, when Limer arrived in the United States in 82, the United States tax has been reduced a lot in 82. In the past seven decades, Li Mo has also lost miserably, and his more than four million US dollars of income, no matter what method he uses to avoid taxes, will at least take away half of it. It's just the tax rate of 82, and Li Mo has to cut off a large piece of meat this time, even if he uses the name of an offshore company to operate.
In '85, the U.S. tax rate was regulated and further lowered, and it will be lowered again in '86, but only to a limited extent.
In this transaction, Li Momao received more than 80 million US dollars, and he had to deduct a lot of handling fees from the guarantor, which is equivalent to a low commission, which is the money that must be paid after making a profit with high leverage. There are also handling fees for securities transactions, which are also quite a lot, but not as much as the former, and these two fees account for nearly half of Li Mo's income and expenses. The rest is the relevant tax, low tax rate, plus the name of the offshore company, the tax paid is less than 10 million US dollars.
The flesh pain is not good, in fact, it is already very low. You can avoid taxes, you can't evade taxes, in the United States, it's not tax evasion, it's just looking for trouble.
So Hao Lick said this as soon as they met.
Related income and taxes, in fact, Hao Like has already said on the phone. Microsoft shareholders should be happy when the money is divided, but their mood is not happy, but regretful. This is not called investment, it is called harvesting, grabbing money. Regardless of Microsoft's high turnover, it was only the more than $7 million brought by Microsoft's various shareholders that it earned nearly $40 million this time. Microsoft's net profit in the past two years has not been so much...... For a while, more than a dozen shareholders of Microsoft cried wolf, making a group of employees under them inexplicable.
Li Mo also knew that almost everyone had called, some crying, some screaming. Anyway, this month, Li Mo's phone bill will be an astronomical amount.
"Hao Lick, as soon as the money comes out, you immediately exchange them for yen. Li Mo said.
The relevant securities exchange regulations in the United States are relatively sound...... There are a lot of holes, but you can use quite two words. In futures trading like this, after making a profit, you generally have to go through a review, and there are indeed no illegal operations, so that the profits you get can be allocated to you.
Li Mo did not operate in violation of the rules, besides, it is still Gates's mother, this money will not be delayed for too long, maybe Hao Lick will go back this time, and the money will be released.
Microsoft's listing time is still March 13 next year, in the eyes of Westerners, there are two days that are very unlucky, one is Friday, the other is the 13th, why is the promotion of his life, Gates still chose to be listed on the 13th, Li Mo is a little confused, he doesn't ask, there may be another hidden secret.
The repayment date agreed between Li Mo and Citi is in early March, and it will end on March 10, and the money will not be paid on March 10, and Microsoft's shares will be Citibank. Immediately had the money in his hand, and Li Mo didn't plan to pay it back...... Because the yen will continue to appreciate. Now it has broken through the 220 mark, and by the end of the year it is close to the 200 mark, but the Reagan administration is still not satisfied and urges the Japanese to continue to appreciate. The Japanese thought that they had picked up a bargain, and after answering the phone, they expressed their cooperation.
There was also the frenzied exchange of various capitalists, which caused the yen to rise rapidly to 180 in March, and then to 154 in July, and then the yen began to fall again, and remained stalemate until April of the following year, rising again to 139, and after oscillating between 140 and 130 for several months, it rose to 122 every year. Then it oscillated repeatedly between one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty, and at its peak, it increased to 159 in April '90 and entered the nineties.
This kind of shock is also a kind of harvest, the harvest of various predators to various retail investors.
Li Mo in the back doesn't remember clearly, he only knows that the exchange rate between the US dollar and the yen before the Plaza Agreement was 1:250, in fact, he even remembered this wrongly, or the information he read was written wrong, accurately before the Square Agreement, it was between 220 and 260 repeatedly oscillated, and a few days before the agreement, the exchange rate was only more than 230. Then there is the end of the year 200, and next year it will be more than a hundred.
It is enough to have this memory, he earns the exchange rate difference, and it is not a futures transaction, and there must be no error.
That is, you can immediately exchange dollars for yen, and you can earn a difference of 35 yen for one dollar. Citibank gave him a very high interest, just a few months of loans, the interest is as high as 9%, but as long as the operation is in yen, not only can this interest be paid, but also more than a million dollars can be withdrawn. Subsequently, the yen will appreciate further, but Li Mo probably does not have much spare money to invest.
Or continue to keep a low mortgage, but also repay the loan first, as soon as Microsoft goes public, Li Mo's shares will have to be mortgaged at least 50 million US dollars, not 11 million US dollars.
Hao Lick didn't even question this time, he said: "Okay, it's just a pity that two sums of money." ”
The two sums of money he refers to refer to Li Mo's manuscript fee, if it were not for the contract signed with the two major film companies, this future manuscript fee income could also be used as collateral loans. But after signing that contract, only after Li Mo wrote the third part of the dinosaur trilogy, he had the right to mortgage it or use it for other purposes. Don't underestimate this manuscript fee mortgage, with both films on the agenda, it can also mortgage millions of dollars.
In addition, it is Microsoft's profits, in order to make the accounts look better when it goes public, Microsoft will keep all the profits at the end of the year for dividends, look, our company has made so much money in a year, buy our shares. Otherwise, Li Mo will be able to spend a sum of money through again.
Li Mo patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Hao Like, be content, do you really think that your U.S. government is blind?" )
