Chapter 805: The Turning Point of History (5)
Knowing that Lin Xiaotian was coming to the company today, it didn't take long for Doyle to come over, and then Voss also came, and it didn't take long for Professor Cedric to come, and the three of them didn't communicate less in the two days that Lin Xiaotian was away, don't look at Doyle and Voss are not academic, but they can't hold back their rich practical experience, and the three of them can be said to have their own gains in the past two days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Isabella served coffee to the three of them, and then was about to go out, but was stopped by Doyle, "Isabella, get us a small blackboard, we'll use it later" Isabella looked at Lin Xiaotian, although Lin Xiaotian didn't understand what Doyle meant, he still nodded, this bit of face still has to be given.
It didn't take a long time, a moving long blackboard was carried in by two bodyguards, fixed on the bracket, and left, Doyle looked at Lin Xiaotian, "Boss, we have discussed the company's structure in the past two days, and found that there are many overlapping rights, I hope you can agree to make minor adjustments and clarify the rights of various departments, so that our strength can form a tight fist", Doyle said seriously.
Lin Xiaotian nodded, motioning for Doyle to continue, Doyle looked at Vos, and Voss stood up, "Boss, I'll list it on the blackboard, you see if there are any mistakes" Lin Xiaotian nodded and motioned for Voss to continue.
Voss walked over to the blackboard and began to write.

Voss brushed and wrote for a long time, basically listed the main companies under the umbrella, except for the list in Hong Kong is not very clear, the others are very clear, it can be seen that Voss has put a lot of effort these days.
"Boss, see if there are any mistakes" After Voss finished writing, he put down the chalk and began to ask Lin Xiaotian, Lin Xiaotian nodded, basically wrote it clearly.
"Yes, except for the Hong Kong side, there is basically no problem," Lin Xiaotian said truthfully
"Sorry, boss, Hong Kong, there is not much information here, so you can only make up for it by the boss, but it does not affect our layout planning" Voss doesn't care about the gains and losses of one place and one domain, Hong Kong is the place where the chairman started, and this part is better for the chairman to decide personally.
Lin Xiaotian nodded, recognized Voss's words and let Vos continue to speak, this is also the fundamental intention of inviting Vos to come over, there are many assets under the umbrella, but there has been no strong complementarity, which Lin Xiaotian knows very well, and he also expects the changes that Voss has brought over.
"Boss, I have always had one thing that I can't figure out, our company can be said to be a private company, but I found that the equity is really vague and quite entangled, what is the reason for this" Voss asked himself.
Lin Xiaotian knew very well what it was for, wasn't it just to avoid taxes, the taxes in the United States are quite disgusting, especially the taxes of the rich, there are many thieves, the tax system in the United States is a typical example of killing the rich and helping the poor, and the high taxes of the rich are used to subsidize the welfare of the poor, and these are used to eliminate social contradictions.
"You wait a minute, I'll call someone, he can give you a complete explanation" Lin Xiaotian picked up the phone after speaking, called Joseph, asked him to come over, and then hung up the phone.
It didn't take long for Joseph to come over, and Lin Xiaotian also introduced Professor Cedric to Joseph, and everyone did it, Isabella changed the coffee for everyone, and of course Lin Xiaotian changed the tea.
"Joseph, Wirth Consultants doesn't know much about the company's shareholding structure, and someone needs someone to explain it to him, I think you are the most suitable" Lin Xiaotian said truthfully to Joseph, and Joseph knew the bottom of his heart after listening to it.
Joseph looked at Voss the next day, "Mr. Voss, the fundamental reason why the company's equity is so staggered is to avoid taxes to the greatest extent, if we don't do this, then we need to pay at least 500 million US dollars in taxes every year, of course, this is the current situation, I intend to discuss with the chairman of the board, and make changes again, so that it is more beneficial to the company's tax avoidance" Joseph said boldly, not afraid of these people talking nonsense at all.
The tax system in the United States is annoying to everyone, especially the rich, who basically fall into this range in what they do, although Professor Cedric is in the UK, but it is also inevitable, and the UK has also made a lot of efforts to tax the rich, except for two red countries, which are aimed at everyone.
The three of Voss all nodded, which is understandable, the umbrella now spends around 60 million US dollars per year for charity, and the necessary funding every year, several major charities in the United States can basically receive charitable donations from the umbrella every year, not including the money spent by the umbrella's own charities, as a large enterprise, if you don't have these, your reputation will definitely be bad, which is also the fundamental reason why companies actively do charity.
However, charity in the United States can be tax deductible, and at the same time, the books of charities are also open, as long as it is a donation company, you can inquire at any time, Lin Xiaotian couldn't help but think that until 2017, the charity accounts of a certain country are confidential, you don't know where they spend their charity expenses, in short, these charities are richer than the other, and then according to their own words, charity has been used in several famous provinces, hundreds of billions of charitable funds every year, It can't change the poverty of dozens of counties, and after more than ten years, I'm afraid that these funds have no problem with making hundreds of thousands of dollars per capita, but they are still the same as many years ago, which has always been a mystery, which is also the fundamental reason why the public is increasingly resisting charity.
Voss thought for a moment, "I'm sorry boss, I missed an important option, that is, tax avoidance, I hope the financial side can ask questions at any time, so that it is convenient for us to modify" Voss admits his mistakes and corrects them when he knows them, which everyone admires.
"There is no problem, Mr. Joseph will always be in attendance, if there is a problem, he will raise it directly, and we will revise it when the time comes" Lin Xiaotian said disapprerovingly, hoping very much that Voss could help him improve the umbrella structure and maximize the efficiency, instead of the current powerlessness.
