Chapter 118: Centurions, Acquaintances, Paying Taxes, and Rich Men (Part II)
"I think that's a great note, and we'll be happy to serve you, Mr. Sean." When the Jew Stern saw Sean put away the centurion card, he said with due diligence and humility, "So Mr. Sean, I don't know what specific requirements you have for your big house?" Now you are our top customer, and the whole Amex will serve you wholeheartedly. ”
"I like a big manor-style house, preferably in a classical style, with a square enough room." Sean thought for a moment and said, "Of course, the most important thing is to be safe and able to guarantee me." I don't like to be disturbed and I don't like the paparazzi snooping on my life. ”
"Of course." Stern nodded, then asked, "Would you rather be in the Hollywood area or Beverly Hills?" ”
"I like the quiet surroundings of the mountains and rivers, and I don't like the hustle and bustle of Beverly Hills." Shaun couldn't help but shake his head as he thought that Beverly Hills was visited by car every day.
Although he knew that many big stars and rich people chose Beverly Hills, Sean didn't like this dense rich area. Beverly Hills is like a city within a city wrapped in luxury, which is not a good choice for Sean, who doesn't like to be restrained.
"Okay Mr. Sean, I think I know what you're asking for."
Stern wrote down Sean's request and said to Sean in a very sure tone, "Within three days, we will select the most suitable property for you to choose, and we will also send a professional team to help you deal with related affairs, from the house to the renovation we will track the whole process, all you have to do is choose your residence." We'll take care of the rest. ”
Sean shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and he suddenly realized that he was quite enjoying the rhythm of leaving everything to someone else.
Seeing that Sean had no other requests, Stern put away the information. Pointing to the sexy and charming OL girl next to her, "Liv will be your personal and exclusive service consultant, you can call her if you have any questions, and she will help you over the phone." ”
"I look forward to your service." Sean smiled and glanced at Liv, pun intended.
"My service will be 100% satisfying," Liv smiled coquettishly.
Seeing that Sean and Stern's representative Express had negotiated a relevant cooperation, Stockton Bob walked over with great interest.
"Boss, here's the financial statements and related earnings reports, tax lists." Stockton Bob took out the information related to the stock market and money this time and handed it to Sean. With a sigh on his face, "Fortunately, this time's income is counted as this year, otherwise I think filing taxes will be a terrible expense." ”
"Shet!"
Bob's words reminded Sean of this. It seems that I still have to file taxes. The tax department in the United States is even more terrifying than the FBI and CIA, and it is simply pervasive. As Stockton Bob said, it's a good thing that this is more than a huge amount of property and you don't have to file taxes for the time being, otherwise Sean would really go crazy.
As for tax evasion?
Don't even think about it. Unless you no longer live in the United States.
But it's okay. Sean's income last year was only more than 800,000, and there were still a few salaries that had not been received, so the reimbursement was not very much, but even so, it was a large tax expense.
Irs! State Taxes! Personal income tax! These three items will cost Sean tens of thousands of dollars. Thinking of this, Sean was a little worried about his $4.5 billion. That's a terrifying amount of money compared to the taxes faced by huge sums of money.
"Mr. Sean, I think you can invest this money so that there can be a lot of tax exemption. This is definitely an important part of your reasonable preservation of wealth. ”
Stern couldn't help but say when he saw Sean's tangled look. "In the United States, the rich Americans often do charity auctions, and the money is the tax-free part. And the U.S. government also encourages investment, and the part you invest will be tax-free or tax-reduced, and the money you spend is also tax-deductible. Of course, if you have a lot of children, there are also tax deductions, and you know, in the United States, a couple with children and a couple without children pay a horrible difference in their taxes. ”
"Are you saying that charitable auctions and investments will be tax-exempt?" This is the first time Sean has known this, you must know that the tax rate is different in every state and even every county in the United States, even if it is a person in the same place, the tax rate is different according to different situations.
Americans themselves can't figure out the complex issues of tax rates, so the average middle-class family will have their own family accountant, which is just as important as a family doctor and family lawyer. You must know that middle-class families with an income of more than $100,000 in the United States are the real financial support of the US government, accounting for about 60 to 80 percent, which is a terrifying number.
In this case, the accountant is also one of the most difficult documents to get in the United States.
"That's right, Sean. Not only that, but in fact, the establishment of a fund can also reduce the tax rate.
Similarly, making charitable donations can be exempted from the same amount of taxes, otherwise do you think those rich people are so keen on charity? Liv replied.
"I think Liv has more of a voice." Stern said with a smile.
After listening to Liv's words, Sean understood why the American rich were keen to do charity. The American system is really interesting. Wealthy people can not only reduce taxes but also win a good reputation, which is a win-win business.
Instead of letting the U.S. government eat its own money, it is better to do charity. It is this kind of psychology that makes the philanthropy of the American rich very hot, and many rich people are keen on it.
"So the best way for me to spend my money as much as I can?" Sean took a sip of his beer and looked at Stockton Bob, Stern, and Liv, "I wonder if you have any good suggestions?" ”
"I suggest that the boss can set up a fund, which can reduce the tax rate very much, and at the same time I think you can register a few offshore companies, such as in Panama, which is a good place. Of course, these actions have to be taken care of by professionals, which is considered a marginal game, but I think there should be no problem with having professionals take care of them. This is also what many rich people often do nowadays. The remaining money can be used for some investment projects, which is a good choice! ”
Stockton Bob gave his opinion, and from what he said, Sean could see that he was well prepared. There is also a little less shadow of "poor worm" in his gestures, and more of the appearance of a professional financial consultant.
"It is normal for offshore companies and reasonable tax avoidance, and Amex can help you solve these problems perfectly. Of course, this is just one of the ways to avoid taxes reasonably, and we have the best accountants who will help you save money. Stern, a middle-aged man, chimed in, "I think Mr. Bob's analysis is correct. ”
After looking around, Sean set his eyes on Liv, a sexy woman. The corners of his mouth curled, and he asked with a smile, "What do you think?" Liv? I'd like to hear your advice. ”
"I think you're right." Liv stared at Sean, seeing the incomprehension in the other party's eyes, she smiled slightly, "That's to spend the money as soon as possible." You have to spend your money as much as you want. is the most cost-effective way. Of course, I have no objection to other reasonable tax avoidance. ”
"Oh, I didn't expect spending money to be the best way to avoid taxes." Sean couldn't help but smile, and when he saw the look of approval on the other side, he shrugged his shoulders and said to Stockton, "Bob, I want you and Mr. Stern to register a few offshore investment companies and transfer out the largest amount." I want to invest or set up a fund. As long as it is possible to avoid taxes reasonably, I have no objection to these methods. I have only one request. ”
"Let the U.S. government take as little of my Franklin as possible."
"Okay boss, I think with the operation of Yuntong, the matter will be handled perfectly."
Stockton's eyes lit up when he heard Sean say the word "investment." He himself wants to become Sean's investment assistant, and Sean can register an investment company, so he naturally has a place to use.
"As for ......spending money," Sean thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help but shake his head, "What do you think?" ”
"Amex provides everything you need, maybe you can try to buy some of the rich standard equipment." Liv stared at Sean with shiny eyes.
"Rich standard?"
"Private business jets, luxury yachts, sports cars, fine art, limited edition luxury, antiques, top auctions, private parties...... These are the standard for the rich. ”
Liv was excited, "A luxury private jet ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions, and the same is true for yachts, and there are many rich people in California who play yachts. A variety of limited edition sports cars. As an Amex Centurion Card user, you can have all of this, and even if you don't have special requirements, you don't even need to make an appointment or wait. You can make reservations in advance for those customized planes and yachts, and you must know that as long as you have the money, it is also tolerable to cut the queue. ”
Sean admits that Liv's words make his heart pound, and the life of an American rich man makes Sean almost lose it. This kind of depravity and temptation is absolutely hard to refuse.
This life is definitely a fantastic enjoyment, and when he thinks that he can enjoy life without any scruples, Sean is seduced by Liv's words.
But fortunately, a phone call woke Sean up in time.
Looking up at Liv with a mesmerized look and Stockton in anticipation, even the capable and shrewd Stern smiled.
This made Sean have to sigh at the magic of money. Maybe these things Sean will realize one by one, and have it. But Sean doesn't want to be kidnapped by these things, immersed in them. Franklin will only be the spice of life, not the mainstream of life.
There are many things in life that may not bring you the ultimate luxury, but they are more worthy of than these things. At least Sean doesn't think that if you have money, you must change your life philosophy, money is just a tool to improve the quality of life, not the key to changing your life.
On the road of dreams, money is a booster, but it is definitely not the main theme of life. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
