On the outskirts of Los Angeles, a manor house stands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In an international metropolis like Los Angeles, it is a suburb, and every inch of land is valuable. To own a manor house is an amazing character.

The style of the manor tends to be Chinese. There is a plaque hanging on the gate, and there are two big characters on it - Chen House.

This is Chen Mingli's home.

From this, it can be seen that Chen Mingli's net worth is absolutely rich! This mansion alone is worth tens of millions of dollars.

At this time, Chen Mingli was talking with his son Chen Yuntao in the study, and the target of the discussion was Zhou Yu.

"I never expected that a mere farmer would be connected to a California consortium." Chen Mingli sighed slightly: "Our Chen family has been rooted in California for decades, and has never given up the intention of moving closer to the consortium, but after so many years, we have been excluded. ”

Chen Yuntao said: "Starting with a woman, what is this?!" ”

"Shut up." Chen Mingli glared at Chen Yuntao: "What is this?" This is a success! In the early decades, didn't those of us think of a way to do this? But who succeeded? ”

"That woman is Moynihan's only daughter, and her appearance at a Chinese American in the open and accompanying her to a party is a signal!" As he spoke, he laughed at himself: "This is called coming from behind!" ”

Chen Yuntao was silent for a moment and said, "Because Zhou Yu is very profitable." ”

"That's right!" Chen Mingli clapped his hands and said: "A yellow-haired boy, who has only been in the United States for less than a year, has begun to be accepted by the upper class, just because he can make money!" Hey, just a farm, not to mention the loss, in one quarter, the value created exceeded one billion US dollars, and his own income was at least three or four billion, which is amazing! ”

"Then what should we do to him in the future?"

"It's okay to do what it should be, it's okay if the relationship is in place, but it can't be an enemy." Chen Mingli said: "If he has nothing to do with the consortium, we can still make some articles, but now..." he shook his head.

"That's it." Chen Mingli added: "This year is the US election, and we need to make this president closer to us, which is the most important thing." ”

......

Coming back from Los Angeles, Zhou Yu was idle for two days.

Subsequently, one after another, the fishermen recruited by Lin Quan arrived with their families.

On January 8, the last fisherman arrived at the farm.

Zhou Yu only met with the fishermen once, appointed a person in charge of the fishing ground, and handed over the rest to Lin Quan.

Subsequently, the boats made for the fishery also arrived one after another, and the wharf was completed.

The fishing ground is starting to get on track.

For the fishing ground, Zhou Yu still attaches great importance to it. After all, this is the second profit point he has opened up. When he bought this sea area before, Zhou Yu adjusted the shroud range of the jade seal and included this 100 square kilometers of sea area.

In the past ten days, when Zhou Yu was relaxing on the beach, he also made special observations. But I didn't see anything. After all, the situation in the sea is obscured by the sea. Unless you go into the water, it's hard to know what's inside.

In addition, the ship had not yet arrived at that time, so what could you see standing on the beach?

On the ninth day, the person in charge of the fishery, Old Bell, came to Zhou Yu in high spirits.

Old Bell is an old fisherman from the east, and his resume, it can be said that since he was a child, he has been dealing with the ocean, and he has rich experience, so he is the best person to be in charge.

Old Bell is just fifty years old this year, and his face and hands are covered with knife-like marks, which are the imprints left by the sea on him!

"Boss,"

Old Bell was in good spirits and said very happily: "I used to think that there were no conditions for fishing on the West Coast, and I am sorry for this idea now. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "What's the situation?" ”

"From yesterday to now, I have been observing the situation in this sea area, and I have found that all kinds of marine plants and algae in this sea area are growing and reproducing very well! Also, I found a few schools of fish! He exclaimed, "Although they are all ordinary schools of fish, and the economic value is not high, but they are a very good sign!" ”

"I have the confidence to make the fishing grounds!"

Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing: "It's good to have confidence." If you need anything, tell Manager Lin directly, I will meet you. ”

After talking to Old Bell, Zhou Yu knew that the jade seal was starting to work.

Although it has only been around 10 days, the rapid growth of marine plants and algae, as well as the attraction of some fish, already bode well for the future of the fishing grounds.

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

I took the time to go to the beach, boarded a medium-sized fishing boat, and went out to sea for a walk, but when Zhou Yu came back, he made up his mind and was ready to buy a yacht!

Zhou Yu was a little strange at this time, what did he think before!

Farm Binhai, I never thought about buying a yacht and going to sea!

Now it seems that it is really incredible.

Back at home, Tina is cooking. Zhou Yu hugged her from behind and told her about the yacht, Tina smiled: "Finally thought of it?" ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed.

Hurriedly escaped from the kitchen, dug through the drawer and pulled out the business card left by the shipbuilding company when the fishing boat was sent over yesterday, then dialed the phone number and called.

When he learned that Zhou Yu was going to order a yacht, he immediately smiled.

At that moment, someone was sent over with a lot of information.

Zhou Yu picked and chose from this pile of information, and finally decided to order a 38-meter-long, double-deck luxury medium-sized yacht.

From the shell, to the engine, to the interior decoration, the exterior decoration, the best are selected.

The final offer is 38 million US dollars!

Then, a deposit of five million dollars.

Seeing off the people from the shipbuilding company, Zhou Yu lay comfortably on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

This money is really spent, and it is really refreshing!

Calculating last year's income, the taxes that should be paid together are around $420 million. Coupled with the money he brought, the remaining more than 10 million US dollars is about 440 million.

This money, first of all, was spent about five million or so when the farm was renovated. The five million was mainly used to renew the irrigation system.

Then there were 1,200 acres of woodland, 100 square kilometers of sea, and a total of 12 million was spent.

Then, it's about buying a car. The previous Bugatti cost more than 8 million, and then ordered two cars, and the price was higher, both of which were quoted at 9.5 million, which adds up to about 28 million.

And then there's the yacht, 38 million.

Then there are the workers' salaries and bonuses. The salary expenses are about six months, about 25 weeks, the average weekly salary is 800 US dollars, and here it goes to 2 million, and the total bonus expenses are about 12 million, which adds up to 14 million.

Then the orphanage also put it on the agenda and directly wrote Li Jing a check for five million.

Plus twenty million to Camppass.

There are also political donations of 5 million and 1 million for children with disabilities.

In other words, Zhou Yu has already spent 127 million!

Coupled with some ordinary expenses, such as the construction of supermarkets, it should be close to about 130 million.

And the money in hand, after deducting the various taxes that need to be paid, should be able to leave 278 million, and after deducting these expenses, only more than 140 million remains.

In fact, it is also thanks to Zhou Yu that he is doing agriculture, which is slightly better than other industries in terms of taxes, and then some donations and other agricultural expenditures, including farm renovation, can also reduce some taxes. Otherwise, at least thirty or fifty million will be deducted.

"And more than 140 million, well, quite a few..."

Zhou Yu pondered: "Next, pineapples and bananas will be another income." But the price of pineapple and banana maybe... No, pineapple and banana do cost less than snake fruit and red grapes, but that's just for the common variety. I'm all high-end breeds, so it should be counted separately! You'll have to do a good job with Hank! ”

"My calculations are crude... In terms of taxation, you have to ask Li Jing. ”

By this time, however, Tina's meal was ready.

After lunch, Tina went to the research station again, and Zhou Yu called Li Jing over.

Now, let's talk about taxes.

"I was just about to talk to my boss about it." When Li Jing heard this, she respectfully handed over a piece of information, and then said: "This information is the information on the various taxes that the boss should pay last year." ”

"Thirty percent federal state tax is appraised for income above a certain threshold and charitable donations of more than one million per year are applied. California state taxes, which are 10 percent, plus local taxes..."

While listening to Li Jing's explanation and co-authoring the information on the document, Zhou Yu knew that the tax he should pay was about 190 million.

There is a big gap with his own calculations.

440 million minus 190 million, and there are 250 million left. Then after deducting the more than 120 million expenses, there is only about 120 million left, and there is no 140 million at all.

"The boss holds a large amount of cash, which should be used for investment, and after a certain procedure of operation, it can reasonably avoid taxes." Li Jing said again: "But boss, I'm alone, and I'm a little overwhelmed now." I think we should expand the team of lawyers and tax accountants in order to better serve your boss in an all-round way. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded slightly. Put down the information and said, "You can do it yourself to expand the team." Do what is appropriate. ”

Li Jing has been baptized, and Zhou Yu can be completely relieved.

"Okay boss." Li Jing nodded yes.

"As for investment..."Zhou Yu groaned slightly, and said: "I have also considered it during this time. Two goals have been locked, but for the time being, 100 million funds are not enough. ”

"Boss, can you tell me which are the two goals?" Li Jing asked.

"The first one is St. Mary's Company." Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly: "St. Mary's is still in the honeymoon period with my farm, so there is no contradiction for the time being." But I can't say for sure. In order to avoid some trouble, I felt that it would be meaningful for me to take a controlling stake in St. Mary's. ”

Li Jing bowed slightly, put on her glasses, and said, "What the boss is considering." ”

"The second is SpaceX. THAT IS, SPACEX. I think if I want to do something that is meaningful to me personally, investing in this company should be a good choice. The journey is in the sea of stars, haha. Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing, and then said: "And Space Exploration Technology is not impossible to make a profit, I believe Musk will have a way." And I think that such companies, what they do are more meaningful than investing in industries such as virtual networks. ”
