After his secretary resigned, An Feng wanted to find one himself, and he spent a lot of time sitting in front of the computer to study, and there were really a lot of optional contents. Roger said that although the industry is very niche, the customers are all wealthy groups, so the profits are very high, and there are endless imitations.

VIP customers are an important part of the benefits to Yuntong, especially the black gold card customers are even slack, some secretarial services are even given away for free, An Feng read the introduction, and felt that it was good to add to himself. Then the focus was on the twenty-four hour telephone secretary, which took some patience.

The target is male and female, gender is not important, anyway, it is not about falling in love, the key is voice and attitude. Considering that he often needs secretarial services, he wants to listen to a beautiful voice and a gentle attitude. He decisively excluded one-to-many, that is, a secretary corresponds to multiple customers, although the service is free, and he does not have so many things, but he always feels that this will make the secretary bored with his profession and resign frequently...... Then look for it yourself.

So he's going to be many-to-one.

Many-to-one is a high-end service, that is, one full-time, many part-time. But you need to pay to hire, otherwise there are so many black and gold card customers, how big does the service headquarters of Amex be? The annual fee is the salary of ordinary people for several years, but the rich usually do not think about this, choose and choose, listen to the voice and tone of voice, and finally choose the next woman.

Roger arranged for his subordinates to deal with it, and half a day later, the full-time female secretary called: "Hello, Mr. An, I'm Angela, your personal phone secretary, and I'm happy to serve you." ”

For the sweet voice of this standard operator, An Feng gave a thumbs up first. He said, "Hello Angela, you have a great voice. ”

"Thank you." Angela's prolongation tends to be cute.

An Feng smiled: "Okay, I'm very curious about what your working environment is like, can you explain?" ”

"No problem, sir." Angela's voice is really amazing, pleasant and relaxing.

An Feng leaned back in the chair and changed to a comfortable position to listen to her introduction. Angela says that the phone secretary is not in charge of everything alone, she runs a team that collects information behind her, and if something is unclear, the team immediately operates, and she feeds the information back to the customer.

"I'm your full-time secretary, mainly responsible for your daytime services, but in the case of late nights, foreign countries and other times of work and rest due to jet lag, Angela is on call 24 hours a day. During these time slots, your call will be forwarded to a part-time secretary. ”

"We have a large back-up team, but the knowledge requirements for personal secretaries are still very strict, and the profession requires us to answer the questions of customers as soon as possible, and it is not recommended to stop and ask. So in the next period of time, Angela will want to get familiar with your style, please take care of it. ”

An Feng said: "I believe you can do a good job, Angela, now I just have some things, I need you to help me find some customized services......"

In fact, An Feng's patience is here, why should he find a secretary first? Because you can blame her for trouble.

……

Worthy of serving top customers, Angela's speed and response are no less than the previous Lei, the information she gave back was sent to An Feng's mailbox, and the phone came, using her unique gentle voice to guide An Feng how to operate, with her help, An Feng completed the customized content.

The most troublesome trouble that Anfeng is currently encountering is tax issues and legal issues. A day later, he met with his private accountant and lawyer, Hardy Locke and Franklin Miller, two men in a serious, unsmiling suit.

Hardy is an accountant, in his early forties, usually the older the accountant, the more experienced, the younger the accountant is definitely a novice, because the senior accounting title requires more than five years of working time, or a master's degree or above, Hadi has both aspects.

Lawyers are similar, and at the same time, it also depends on the record, in this regard, Franklin, who wears rimless glasses, was born with a face that is very hot by the police - the police and the lawyer are absolute natural enemies, the police finally caught the prisoner, but the powerful lawyer took advantage of the loophole to acquit the prisoner.

"Hello Hardy, Franklin!" An Feng shook hands with them, took out the computer, and said, "Let's deal with the contract first." ”

Needless to say, Franklin, who is a lawyer, automatically turned on the work mode, he saw it quickly, he looked at ten lines at a glance, his eyes did not blink, and the proposed employment contract found some minor problems under his scanning, and revised it after discussing with An Feng, and also dealt with An Feng and Hardy's contract by the way.

"After signing the contract, we will serve you full-time in the future." Franklin smiled slightly, as if the contract documents gave him infinite confidence.

"Okay, I have one more thing, I have a question about individual income tax returns. I have to pay a lot of personal income tax, I wonder if there is a way to reduce it a little? "An accounting year has passed, although the individual income tax filing deadline is on April 15, but in line with the idea that it will be forgotten after a long time, he let the accountant deal with it first.

Hardy said confidently: "No problem, Mr. An, I will try my best to help you avoid taxes reasonably, minimize the taxes you need to pay, and even refund them." ”

"Is that okay?" An Feng looked at his lawyer.

Franklin nodded: "The law only has provisions on the definition of tax evasion, and there is no explanation for reasonable tax avoidance. In a situation that does not violate the law, but does not have to follow the rules, your tax avoidance will not be pursued unless a new federal or local tax policy is introduced. ”

Hardy: "No matter what, professional accountants will have an endless number of ways to deal with it. ”

Benjamin Franklin: "And we defend the legitimacy of this behavior." ”

An Feng smiled, these two guys are really compatible...... As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures, right?

An Feng found some bills in the computer, Hardy found out the items that could be used for deduction for him on the spot, and Franklin used accounting methods to check them.

Hardy said, "Actually, you have a lot of items that can be deducted, such as allowable expenses, donation expenses, and some property taxes. ”

"How?" An Feng has six tips on taxation.

Hardy thought for a moment and said, "Let's say you earn $10,000 in an accounting year, 5,000 in various expenses, 1,000 in donations, and 1,000 in property taxes. According to your idea, the $10,000 is considered taxable income and multiplied by the corresponding tax rate, but this is not the case. It can be adjusted to offset a portion of expenses, donation expenses and property taxes, and the last remaining part is the taxable income. ”

An Feng blushed, before Hardy didn't say it, he really thought that the income would be directly multiplied by the tax rate, after listening to Hardy's explanation, he found that there were really a lot of items that he could deduct, the vineyard was bought for more than 10 million, and the property tax alone was more than 100,000, right? Now it is directly deducted from the individual income tax and does not need to be paid.

An Feng said with a smile: "The tax law in the United States is quite humane!" ”

Hardy nodded and continued, "If you adjust it properly, you might even get a tax refund." ”

"Tax refund?" An Feng had heard before that the United States encourages the rich to consume, and if all the money earned is saved, it will be deducted by the tax bureau a large amount, so the rich will either use the money to invest or spend it lavishly, and would rather use it on themselves than cheapen the grandsons of the tax bureau.

Hardy explained: "It's still the simplest example, for example, if a company's employee's salary is withheld at the time of payment of 5,000, but the annual calculation, he actually needs to pay only 3,000 individual income tax, then after filing the individual income tax, the tax bureau will return him a check of 2,000 US dollars." ”

An Feng thinks back to his consumption after coming to the United States, last year's expenditure was very high, and there was almost no income, if you want to count tax refunds, I am afraid that you really have your own share. And...... He looked at Hardy's cunning appearance, this guy must have a set of calculations on how to get around the tax office.

Franklin noticed An Feng's eyes, and he smiled and assured: "As long as this aspect is legal, there is no problem for accountants to reasonably classify and deduct." ”

An Feng clapped: "Just deduct it ruthlessly!" ”
