Chapter 77: Apples Are Just Pediatrics
Gu Cheng's lifelong goal is to be the most accurate content distributor in China, better than Amazon of the United States. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As for destroying Tengyun, it can only be said that it was done conveniently - mainly because Tengyun is a freak that should not exist in the first place.
IN PARALLEL TIME AND SPACE, IN THE UNITED STATES, AMAZON IS AMAZON, FACEBOOK IS FACEBOOK, AND THERE IS NOT MUCH CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TWO.
BUT ALSO IN THAT TIME AND SPACE, THERE WAS A TENGYUN IN HUAXIA, AND MOST PEOPLE USED IT TO BENCHMARK AGAINST FACEBOOK. But many people ignore one point - there is nothing in China that can compete with Amazon.
Not to mention the bell network, or Liu Qiangdong's half-hung Jingdong, these goods are not qualified to benchmark Amazon.
In later generations in Huaxia, the content distribution did the best, and the high forced grid also looked at Huang Yi, and the low forced grid relied on Tengyun. After the most artificial intelligence factors enter the market, let's have a high and low match between Toutiao and Kuaishou (that's right, it is the Kuaishou with thousands of brains in Huaxia, and Kuaishou accounts for ninety and a half percent).
To put it bluntly, it was the Chinese netizens who did not reach that exquisite realm, and they could make do with just a few cool things, which made Tengyun Zhuzi famous.
Although the phrase "this session of the people can't do it" is a bit rough, it is very reasonable, and it can account for two or three points.
Therefore, it was not that Gu Cheng was envious of those few social money, so he was on the bar with Ma Teng.
If he just wanted to make a few social money, he would have directly invested in Tengyun at the beginning, and he would have to share the account in the future.
The key is that Tengyun is in his way, and he can only be crushed to death. (However, with Tengyun's copying, it seems that no matter what the traverser does, as long as he touches the net, Tengyun will block his way.) )
"The record industry, this year is the last glory, YY-mini's MP3 has been sold for almost a year and a half, and the user habit of paid digital albums has cultivated so many millions, these are seeds, and we will continue to explore them next year.
The first and second generations of Jobs' IPOD can't bypass the patent barriers of YY-mini, so they can only sit down with us to talk about carving up the market and not entering China. NEXT YEAR, JOBS WILL RELEASE THE THIRD GENERATION OF IPOD, COMPLETELY BYPASSING THE ORIGINAL DESIGN, AND THEN WE WILL HAVE TO FACE DIRECT COMPETITION FROM APPLE. If you can't come up with new content distribution hardware, sooner or later you're going to suffer.
The film and television industry,Next year will definitely be more impacted,According to the current network speed infrastructure、Streaming media application technology,The video industry will soon look at the download resources,Become online directly。
THE GAMING INDUSTRY, STEAM HAS FOLLOWED LEGENDARY ENTERTAINMENT, AND I WILL DEFINITELY REBUILD A PLATFORM TO SELL DIGITAL GAMES ONLINE. HOWEVER, THOSE USER HABITS THAT STEAM HAS CULTIVATED HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ATTRACT OUR OWN NEW PLATFORMS.
Online games should focus on slowly snatching users back from the current outdated gadgets of Legendary Entertainment. Zulong Studio's "Zhu Xian" is really not good, so it will be tested in limited quantities first, and the evaluation news and videos will be released for everyone to watch, and the FLAG will be erected. It's important to let everyone know that 'Zhu Xian' is not just a parody of World of Warcraft that hasn't yet appeared. ’
On the one hand, it will improve user confidence and morale, and on the other hand, it will also put pressure on Blizzard, and the "World of Warcraft" thing must be grabbed. If Sun Zhengyi takes it, his legendary entertainment may really be revitalized. ”
Gu Cheng lay on the bed, didn't turn on the lights, and easily took stock of N places to spend money, and it was really not a problem to spend more than a billion dollars carefully. Maybe there will be some more projects, and even the cash flow he has accumulated from other financing channels can be used to save the bottom.
NOT TO MENTION, ACCORDING TO THE COURSE OF HISTORY, IT IS TIME FOR JOBS TO SET UP A PROJECT FOR THE IPHONE, WHICH WILL TAKE THREE YEARS AND USE UP APPLE'S $2 BILLION IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FUNDS TO COMPLETE THE FIRST GENERATION OF THE IPHONE.
It is impossible for Gu Cheng to make mobile phones, he doesn't have this foundation, but even if he just lays out other content distribution hardware products, he will have to spend hundreds of millions.
Pan Jieying thought about Gu Cheng's train of thought for a while, and couldn't help reminding him: "You don't rely on buying and buying these projects, but you use your own funds outside the market to do it, and you have a net loss in the past few years." In this case, it will be a great loss for finance and taxes in the future. ”
"Hmm, what do you mean?" Gu Cheng was already in a state of being in a daze and about to fall asleep afterwards, and after listening to Pan Jieying's description, he suddenly woke up again.
"You think, at the beginning, you were Legendary Entertainment making money, YY Network Technology and Alipay were losing money. On the overall book, Legendary Entertainment does not have much net profit, so the corporate income tax is almost exempt.
Now you have cashed out more than a billion dollars of equity capital, although you have been dealt with in a tax haven like the Cayman Islands when you make investment profits, but when you operate in detail, you will lose several years in the early stage of research and development, and you will have to burn money in subsidies and promotions. ”
Speaking of tax avoidance, most people know that almost all of the Internet giants in China are registered in the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean, which is the almost non-existent foreign exchange control and the lowest affiliated tax rate in the Cayman Islands. That place entered hundreds of billions of dollars today and left the country tomorrow, and there was no one to take care of it, and there was no handling fee. Therefore, it is very cool to put a non-profit company with pure holding there.
Unless the main place of business is for the American market rather than the Chinese market, it will look for other tax havens such as the Bahamas and Puerto Rico. If it is for the European market, the offshore domicile for tax shelter is generally in the Jersey Islands (a small island on the Atlantic side of the English Channel between the UK and France).
This common sense can be understood by any Internet company operator, and literacy will be eliminated in three minutes of popular science, and Gu Cheng and Pan Jieying will naturally understand it. So when Eslite Holdings was established, the holding company was lost to the Cayman Islands.
However, the above-mentioned tax avoidance measures are only for the capital gains of the holding company. For the operating profits of the actual operating company, this trick is useless, and there will always be a tax deduction for each place of business. Even if the company itself does not produce (just like Apple, it only manages the research and development of mobile phones, and all production is outsourced), but as long as there is research and development, sales, and operating profits, it cannot escape.
To avoid taxes in this area, enterprises around the world also have methods, and the tricks are also not new.
At present, the most famous is Apple's finances in the late 80s of the last century to make the "Irish sandwich", to put it bluntly, it is to use the country with the lowest specific tax rate in each link to set up a company, as little as possible to pay (the specific is not expanded, the Irish sandwich Baidu has tens of thousands of words of instructions, I don't want to cheat the manuscript fee. )
However, these still cannot solve the problems that Pan Jieying is raising now.
What Pan Jieying just said, translated in human language, is probably like this:
Back then, when Legend Entertainment was in its hands, Legend Entertainment was making money, and YY and Alipay were losing. This profit and loss occurred in the same year in terms of time, so through the transfer of benefits from related party transactions, the profit and loss can be settled, so that Legendary Entertainment almost does not pay business tax.
But now, Legendary Entertainment is gone. Gu Cheng took the one-time exit equity cash funds, and then went to do those money-burning businesses. This has a consequence: if you lose 1 billion this year, you will have to show a loss of 1 billion in the financial report, and another 1 billion next year. The year after tomorrow, the year after tomorrow, earn 1 billion a year - at this time, the 1 billion will have to pay 25% more income tax than the original legendary entertainment model.
Because the profit and loss are not on the same timeline, there is a time difference.
In the previous model, we could only avoid the tax of space difference, but could not avoid the tax of time difference.
"It's a big problem, and I think there's a way to fix it, but the Irish Sandwich and Legendary Entertainment modes don't work. Tomorrow, I'll ask Sister Liu and ask her to inquire about how the layout is better. ”
Pan Jieying is no longer entangled, and this topic is over.
The two fell asleep in a daze, and prepared to go home the next day.
……
Early the next morning, Gu Cheng washed up and cleaned up, and was having breakfast, when Quan Baoya also came to bid him farewell.
Kwon Bo-ah's face was ugly, and the panda eyes brought by the hangover had not faded. Gu Cheng was startled at first glance, and suddenly felt a little distressed, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?
"You're afraid to hurt me. Kwon sat down at the table and sighed indifferently.
"What do you say?"
"You're afraid of hurting me?"
"I ...... I certainly don't want to hurt anyone. Gu Cheng suddenly felt a little weak.
"You say you're afraid or not! Also, I saw it all yesterday. Quan Baoya was not afraid of embarrassment, and said it straight. In front of Gu Cheng, she has always been in that state of being heartless, maybe she is used to it.
It may also be that she feels that if she has to hide her mood in front of Gu Cheng, then she will be too tired to be a person.
After saying this, she suddenly relaxed.
Then it was Gu Cheng's turn to be shocked, and he was speechless for a long time.
His Adam's apple flicked and confessed, "Yes, I'm afraid of hurting you." ”
"After all, you are Ai Ying's sister - you are afraid of hurting me, but you are not afraid of hurting her, obviously between you and her, there is even more intolerance of etiquette. Obviously, there are so many girls around you these days, but you are just acting. Listening to Gu Cheng's affirmation, Quan Baoya's expression calmed down, and it seemed that it was none of her business.
Gu Cheng couldn't help but argue: "It can only be said that it is not allowed by the law, and it is not allowed to talk about etiquette." This taboo is not ancient. Besides, it was she who hurt herself in the first place......"
Gu Cheng wanted to explain, but when he thought about it, a man should shoulder the responsibility of a man. Although he was reversed at the beginning, how can this kind of thing be said.
Men should protect their women, even if they are pushed backwards.
So he stopped explaining.
"Then I wish you happiness, remember to let Sister Ying add a Fusang nationality, otherwise you will have no fun." Quan Baoya poured herself a glass of oat milk, drank it in one gulp, and was ready to get up and flash.
"She won't add Fuso nationality, and she won't marry me. ”
Quan Baoya, who had already walked to the door, was shocked: "Then I'll wait for you." ”
"Don't ...... All right. Gu Cheng said that he was still a man once.
People are only passive all their lives, what is the matter?
"It's okay, I'm still young anyway, I can afford to wait. ”
"Do you want me to feel guilty when you say that?"
"No, I'm trying to tell you that if you hide your feelings like this, you're harming more people -- do you know how many girls out there, whether it's a female subordinate of your company or a female artist who has signed a contract, have fantasies about you?
How many men like you are there in the world? For the sake of your own privacy, you don't disclose your emotional status, which is not wrong, but the fault is that you are too good. You can't announce it because of your feelings...... But even if you announce that you are a GAY, you can reduce the harm to many girls, don't delay your youth. ”
After Quan Baoya finished speaking, she went to the airport by herself, leaving Gu Cheng to slowly reflect on her sins.
