Chapter 444: The Plan Begins
After Halloween, the year is almost over.
An Feng, as before, has a headache every time he arrives, and according to the personal financial report submitted by the think tank, the problem of taxation plagues him. In addition, the U.S. government's possible policy on offshore finance has also exposed his property.
At present, it is the tax that is strictly zhòng, and in the past he usually burned money and donations in November and February.
This is how the luxury cruise ship is burned, and the plan of the consortium this year has not yet been established and implemented, according to Matthew. But he has to make something else, donating money is undoubtedly the fastest, but the donation deduction is not to directly use taxes to deduct the donation amount, but to deduct the taxable income, and he also loses.
In addition to donations, it is business investment, and when Anderson was in power, he passed a bill in favor of the rich, probably talking about all the listed companies that invest in the United States, the list is usually to promote social or green environmental protection, and can enjoy a higher amount of individual income tax deductions.
Eligible investments can be deducted from individual income tax with a higher amount. This is also the reason why An Feng spent more than 5 billion yuan to fully control the star exploration company, private aerospace companies are eligible, and the investment can reduce the taxable income, and he only paid 3oo yuan in personal income tax that year, the most refreshing one.
In December, Joanna continued to donate a billion dollars to the Elizabeth Foundation, and the foundation's capital expanded to $1.8 billion, of which 1.2 billion was donated, and the rest was the profit from business investments, most of which were tax-exempt, envying companies that had to pay income tax.
According to the United States' regulations for non-profit foundations, they must donate 5% of their entire assets, or $900 million, to charity, but in fact the foundation's expenditure is much higher than this minimum standard, with 1.5 billion spent last year.
Every donation is well received by all walks of life. One billion is indeed a lot, even 100 million is worth reporting. But how the outside world has no influence on them, Joanna's attitude towards fame and fortune is very weak, and donating this money is not as important as her plans to care about her children's vacations.
An Feng also doesn't care about fame, just as a routine in life, anyway, he has already experienced it in the first few years of becoming famous. It is estimated that the people in the society are also a little numb like him, and if Joanna does not donate again, it may be more noticeable than a large donation.
……
When Christmas is approaching, An Feng is busy.
He had to put off some leisure plans with his wife and children, and flew back and forth between Europe and the United States.
The reason is that the timing of the consortium's implementation plan is appropriate, and it is not up to them to decide how to cut in, but the law of the market. The most recent is the end of the year, when the economy of the year is counted. Many people in the economic circles are optimistic about the US economy this year and believe that the dollar will rise slightly.
It was at this point that the consortium decided to take action, and any meetings and discussions were conducted in the most primitive way - face-to-face conversations. There are hardly any references to the newsletter, and the location of the date is uncertain, and Anfeng has already traveled to England, France and Italy.
It feels like a spy joint. An Feng also took the trouble to cooperate. Although it is a financial investment, if it is a premeditated shorting of an economy at a specific price. It is to be put on file for investigation and punishment. In the past, when a number of hedge funds in the United States joined forces to short the euro, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Department of Justice intervened in the investigation.
This time, the means are more direct and the amount is larger, and as the people behind the scenes, they must dissociate themselves.
In addition, Anfeng has a lot of private funds, and the amount of private funds is too large and needs to be used in person. Anfeng has three Swiss bank accounts. Each of them is over 10 billion, and there are seven company accounts, and it is difficult to transfer money with a phone call, so you have to notify in advance and make an appointment to meet. The account manager then determines and implements the action.
What An Feng frequently does is to express his stance and transfer money.
The consortium has prepared the equivalent of $800 billion in funds, and is ready to stir up this troubled waters, and to influence the whole situation in a three-dimensional way through the influence of other commodity economic fields. The economies of Europe and the United States look good, but Europe has not yet escaped the influence of European debt, while the United States, to be honest, has not disappeared from the Great Depression of the last century, it only uses hegemony and world currency to maintain prosperity and make the people of the world pay.
American capitalists, in turn, short the US economy, which is relatively rare and risky.
Including An Feng, they all know very well how severe the consequences of failure are, but if they don't do it, it is even more inappropriate for so much money accumulated to rise and fall with the international market, or to be threatened by new policies, not to mention that it is a once-in-a-lifetime financial opportunity for them.
……
After ten days of running around and finally settling down a few days before Christmas, Anfeng returned to California and decided to spend Christmas in the vineyard this year.
There are many relatives and friends here, and it is more lively, and on Christmas Eve they go to cut down the Christmas tree together.
Alice used to hug her thighs: "Dad, I'm going too!" ”
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, did you?" An Feng said, put a hat on her, "It's a little cold outside, put on a hat and go out." ”
"Santa Claus's Red Hat." Alice straightened her hat and spun around in front of him, "Is Daddy good-looking?" ”
"Wow! Where did the pretty little girl come from? An Feng said with a smile. Alice, like her mother, was happy and satisfied to hear the compliments.
An Feng's brother-in-law came over at this time: "Do you need my help?" ”
"No need, use a chainsaw to saw two small pine trees, I also made an appointment, no problem." An Feng said, "Alice, let's get out." ”
Alice follows her father with the saw.
An Feng drove the pickup truck out, and Alice took a little black dog she had just met at home. The car came down the hill and met Henry driving a pickup truck at an intersection. An Feng honked his horn, rolled down the window and greeted him: "Hi, Henry! Let's go! ”
“ok! I'll lead the way! "Henry Motor Motors is ahead of the curve.
Henry is also the first group of friends An Feng knew, when he was still a hairy guy who didn't graduate from high school, pestering him to learn kung fu, the English name of "Bruce" was the first thing he called, and then he drove others, An Feng was used to it as the English name of his passport.
Time flies, and now Henry is not young, he is eight years younger than An Feng, and he should be thirty-one this year. Married two years ago and has a child. An Feng attended their wedding, but this guy's personality is still active, and there was a cake fight at the wedding banquet.
Drive to the nearby pine forest and park nearby to look for trees.
"That's it!" Henry patted the pine tree, "Alice stepped back. Let your Uncle Henry solve it! ”
"Okay." Alice, in her little red boots, ran behind a large pine tree, revealing a small head.
An Feng smiled: "This is a tree, not a bear, there is no need to run so far." ”
Henry activated the chainsaw, Alice covered her ears, and An Feng watched from the sidelines, and he skillfully sawed down a cone-shaped pine tree.
Follow Henry to continue sawing the second one, and there is no need for An Feng to do it throughout the whole process, just to provide a chainsaw.
"That's it!" Henry put the chainsaw down and clapped his hands. Lit a cigarette for yourself.
Alice ran over and looked at the two pine trees on the ground: "Uncle Henry is amazing. ”
"Of course, I've learned kung fu." Henry said proudly.
An Feng couldn't figure out what this had to do with kung fu, wasn't it the credit of the chainsaw? ”
"Dad, I want to learn kung fu too." Alice looked at him.
"That's what you learned every afternoon yesterday." An Feng said, "Alice, choose a Christmas tree." ”
"I want this." She pointed to one of them.
"Okay, we'll pick it." An Feng put on his gloves and bent down to grab the pine tree. Henry picks up the rest. The two returned the same way and talked about the Christmas party by the way. It's usually the more people there are, the more fun it is. Henry is also interested in participating, and everyone is ready to have a lively one.
"Let's go, Kiki!" Alice said to the little black dog, keep up with her father and uncle.
……
When he came back, he decorated the Christmas tree, and An Feng didn't have any ideas, but Xiaoyu and Alice were full of plans. They took over the work.
The others are in charge of thinking about what to eat at Christmas and what to do after dinner.
An Feng had nothing to do, sitting and playing with his mobile phone and watching the news. Lately, he's been paying more attention to the economic news, because things may be the same as the last cold in the United States. The impact may not be so widespread, but it is not something that can be ignored. And the Internet is currently singing about the U.S. economy.
On the other side of the ocean, Britain and France have recently reduced their gold reserves, and then someone quietly bought it, An Feng flipped through the previous records, it seems that it is not only them who are tempted by the overall situation, but also other people behind the scenes, the difference is that their attitude is the opposite of the Texas consortium.
An Feng's gang believes that the dollar is unstable, and the euro and gold have to rise, while the other side is the opposite.
But the difference is that the consortium will not lead the way by the economic law, and their hundreds of billions of funds are used to disrupt the situation and confuse the vision. Ordinary investment groups are "gambling", and this level of consortium relies on their own funds and means, the former is gambling, and the latter is fighting for heads and wealth.
Having other players join the game will undoubtedly make the situation even more exciting.
But just like the calm before the storm, it is estimated that for some time, the dollar will continue to prosper and continue to sell gold, and the crisis in Europe will be magnified again...... When the gains are maximized, a key reversal will break out, and it will be a good opportunity for the harvest.
"Daddy!"
When An Feng looked at his phone, Fred's voice rang beside him.
Fred climbed on the sand and looked at him, An Feng put down his phone and hugged his little son to his lap: "Mom and aunt went out shopping, and they will come back later." ”
"Hmm." He nodded.
"How about Dad playing a guessing game with you?" An Feng said.
Fred said, "Dad, I want to hang socks on the bedside, and my sister says Santa Claus will have presents." ”
Fred, who was almost two years old, was already very clear, and An Feng nodded: "Okay, I will help Fred hang socks at the head of the bed at night and wait for gifts." ”
"Thank you, Dad." He said happily.
"What do you want?" An Feng asked.
"Puzzle toys." Fred said he seemed to like these toys that test logic and intelligence.
"I can't fit in my little socks." An Feng said that Fred was disappointed, and he continued with a smile: "It's okay, let's go and use Mom's silk = socks to pack." (To be continued......)
