Chapter 446: Dismantling and Transferring

The temporary setback in the U.S. region will not stop the pace of a full-scale offensive by the consortium.

Mainstream media, including the Wall Street Journal and Reuters, are talking about this matter, saying that from January to April, the financial giants led by have experienced a ups and downs from joy to bad news.

There is nothing wrong with such a comment, and the media have borrowed past experience to judge that the US financial sector has indeed recovered and stabilized in the future. But with the vast majority underestimating the global plans of the consortium behind the scenes, and their already huge amount of money to spend, the game has just begun.

In the last financial crisis, the most obvious was the United States and Europe, as soon as the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, Europe on the other side of the Atlantic also followed suit, and its Asian economic zone was relatively stable because of its different modes of operation.

To put it simply, the consortium wants to grasp all the trends and laws and gamble on the future.

It may not seem easy, but there is currently no better way to spend the money they have deposited.

In May, the United States was calm, but some countries in Europe complained, saying that the financial giants led by Soros and Cohen in the United States, their investment companies, and hedge funds were shorting the euro, but because the behavior could not prove whether the hedge funds were jointly shorting, it was difficult to define the violation.

These Wall Street giants took advantage of the Texas consortium and released unfavorable news when the dollar rose to scare Europe, whose economy was not very stable, and as a result, they fell in panic, and hedge funds made a profit, and billions of dollars flowed to the United States.

In the first half of the year, there were two incidents on Wall Street: the giants led by the RAND Investment Bank were investigated for allegedly shorting the dollar, the company's stock price fell, and the senior management had no intention of retrieving; And the event that financial giants may be plotting to short the euro. The Ministry of Justice went around in circles without results, and the giants made billions.

It was the European and Texas consortium that lost the damages.

But the tycoons who rode horses in Anfeng Manor did not have the slightest sense of losing money, they talked and laughed and competed with each other in equestrianism. Bazel, who is in his sixties, is old and strong, and the long-term use of bio-drinks makes it impossible to perceive his specific age. More spiritual than what An Feng had seen back then.

Bazel rode over the triple jump hurdle, and the crowd around him applauded.

Bazel patted the horse's neck: "Good horse! Although he is older, the actual experience is not weaker than that of the younger one! ”

Austin said: "If you don't pull it out, who knows how strong or weak it is?" ”

"Makes sense." Matthew said, "Let's let the young ones perform first." ”

They obviously have something to say, and they are constantly commenting on the current economic situation, and the recent days have really been up and down, which makes people feel that this game is not easy, because they will be working against a lot of people. Of course, the surface does not determine the outcome. It's like a good horse praised by Bazel.

"Then the center of gravity shifts?" An Fengce stepped forward immediately.

Austin said: "What a pleasant thing it is to put it in Europe first, when you bet on its future growth, and now somebody is helping us pull the price down." ”

An Feng said: "I feel that the situation is chaotic now. ”

Matthew said: "Actually, we are all the same, specifically how those nimble brains operate, and what our money is going for. When you present yourself as a commander who is only responsible for giving orders, ignoring the process and waiting for the final result. Things will be clear. ”

"That's right." An Feng said, of course, it's easy to think like this. It's me who invests, waits for a while, and then pays for itself and makes a profit.

Bazel turned his horse around and said, "We have to transfer some capital in the United States, and there is a high probability that that bill will pass." ”

"It's not good for GDP," Matthew said. ”

Matthew's words were an understatement, but they were definitely bad news for the U.S. economy. If the capital under the consortium is transferred...... The revenues of the major large enterprises of the consortium are more than 4 trillion US dollars, and if half of them are removed, this part of the GDP of the United States will be correspondingly reduced.

So here's their killer feature, and they're going to use it. The outflow of large amounts of American capital, even if the American economy is booming. But it will also make many people afraid, and they will think that it is a superficial illusion, and it will develop into fear and caution, which is almost irresistible.

Whether it's a program requirement or a fucking bill, they have to do it.

At present, the US Congress is also focusing on examining the draft of Tiyi, and it is necessary to establish new rules to check the economic behavior of multinational enterprises overseas, because a senator broke the news that a group of giants have accumulated nearly a trillion dollars, and the taxes and fees that the tax bureau has not been able to calculate may reach 300 billion US dollars.

However, the speculation of the legislators is one thing, and whether there is evidence is another.

The results will definitely find out that they are tired, but the amount will not be so large, and the operating investment, taxes and management expenses of enterprises around the country are all within the scope of deduction...... This is by no means a light one, and it is not a light one that can be investigated, and it may not necessarily have results...... Complicating things.

In May, Peak UK's partners started discussions.

He then told Joanna about the recent changes and one of his important decisions: to split the Gene and Tima Biological Research Center.

Joanna was surprised: "Why take it apart?" It still holds shares in many companies, so what should it do? ”

An Feng said: "A lot has been transferred, and it is held by individuals or offshore companies. The current structure of the research center is bloated and it is no longer convenient to operate. ”

Joanna asked, "And what are your plans?" ”

An Feng said: "I just want to divide it into several parts, medicine, genetics, and botany. ”

"It's really efficient, but how do you place them?"

An Feng continued: "I plan to transfer the medical department to the UK, and use your capital to control zhì, your personal, the business under your name, charitable funds, etc. Other Departments...... To be honest, in addition to the holding of patent shares over the years, there has not been much progress in R&D, and it is possible to stay in the United States. ”

Joanna understood: "You just want to divide the shares of the company in the hands of the research center?" ”

"That's right." An Feng nodded.

"Is it because of the recent problems in the United States?"

An Feng nodded: "Part of the reason, if that controversial bill is passed, many things will become clear, and it will appear that the funds are too large." In addition, you are philanthropic and have assigned the medical department to you and the charitable fund in your name. The impact is wider. ”

……

There has been a big news in the medical world recently.

The well-known Jean & Tima Bioresearch Center recently announced that it had decided to dismantle it after unanimous deliberation with the board of directors due to management and funding issues.

Over the years, the research center has been a benchmark in biotechnology, especially medical technology, all over the world, and every major breakthrough has been completed by them. A total of five Nobel Prizes have been awarded, and the Nobel Prize in Medicine has been crowned for cancer, AIDS and other incurable diseases for four consecutive years.

But now it is very abruptly announced that it will be dismantled, shaking the medical community.

Many people have questions: Is the world's strongest research institute going to disappear forever?

However, Joseph, the director of the research center, convened a press conference to express his official attitude. The split of the research center is a problem of operational efficiency, there are too many combinations of different institutions, it is difficult to implement unified management, and due to operational problems, it is impossible to coordinate each department.

Joseph also brought good news. The research center will not disappear, the main body will remain in the United States, but several important departments will be dispersed, and the most concerned medical department will be transferred to the United Kingdom, where it will be held by the great philanthropist Baroness Joanna, as well as her own charitable fund.

In order to facilitate management, the Foundation's medical organization was combined with the medical department under the name "Elizabeth Medical Society".

For this decision. Most people agree.

Because Joanna has a good public image, she is a pure philanthropist to the outside world. The medical department was acquired by her, and people are willing to believe that it will continue to contribute to the cause of world medicine. According to statistics after the fact, support for the research center's move was the highest, reaching 90%.

Other departments have also adjusted accordingly, or disappeared. or listed for establishment.

In fact, the technology and patents belonging to the research center are almost zero, and they have been transferred out in the past few years and become held by individuals or enterprises, and only the headquarters still enjoys certain dividends. The dismantling of the huge research center was already a major issue a few years ago.

The current headquarters is similar to that of BDA. It seems to be an unshakable big man in the global bio-beverage industry, but in fact, in addition to being active in the United States, the nominal shareholding ratio of foreign subsidiaries is very pitiful, and in the United Kingdom, the head office only holds 2% of the shares.

The rest is held by the consortium, Joanna and her companies account for 40% of the share, and even Bita has even handed over the production and technology license, and the production license can freely set up a processing plant, and the technology ...... In fact, in the hands of the medical department, it has long been transferred.

It seems complicated, but in essence it is only locally dispersed, and the total amount is constant.

If you are interested in statistics, you will find that the companies invested by the Texas consortium have changed over the years, and the shares of the subsidiaries held by the company have decreased, and they are nominally "subsidiaries", but in fact they have been controlled by other enterprise organizations, but only production or patent licensing is still in control.

The amount of taxes and fees that the United States can collect has been greatly reduced, and when calculating GDP, it will definitely shrink. Correspondingly, other countries give preferential treatment. For example, in the United Kingdom, the government gives the "Elizabethan Medical Society" tax incentives, and the corporate income tax is only 15%, compared with 35% in the United States.

If the medical association makes a profit of 100 million US dollars, it will pay 35 million in income tax in the United States, while it is only 15 million in the United Kingdom.

There is a reason why the tax rate in the United States is high, the investment environment is good, the opportunities and benefits are larger, while the conditions in the United Kingdom are naturally inferior, so preferential policies are needed to attract people. For the medical sector, which is dominated by medical research and charitable services, there is not much profit, and taxes are more symbolic.

This series of undercurrent measures will cause a large outflow of American capital, not only the Texas consortium is considering overseas and the European environment, but some other companies are also looking for markets outside the United States, and "tax inversion" is a hot word in recent years.

The reason is that the tax rate in the United States is too high, and companies try to move their company registration to a low-tax country through the behavior of regrouping after acquisition, which is tax inversion. The consortium is doing a similar thing now, but it is more inclined to get the money out and make the United States nervous. (To be continued......)
