Chapter 220: I'm going to be a father

In addition to establishing a good reputation among the people, tax exemption is also one of the main reasons why European and American companies actively engage in charitable activities.

The Canadian government and other Western countries are actively encouraging enterprises to engage in charitable activities, for which a series of preferential tax reduction and exemption policies have been formulated, if you do not do charity, then a large part of the money you earn will be collected by the government as a tax, if you do charity, the money can naturally be reduced, a calculation, the money will be spent anyway, it is better to simply use it for charity, and by the way, it can also erect a good corporate image in the people.

In addition, you can leave your property to your children through charity. For example, Joe's Apple stock is a good example, although Joe Sr. is a genius, his children are very mediocre and can't keep up with his father.

When Old Joe was still alive, he knew that after he left, the future life of his children would definitely be worse day by day, so he thought of a way, that is, to let his children each set up a charitable foundation, and then he donated all the Apple shares, Pixar stocks, and Disney stocks he held to the charitable foundation established by his children, so that through a disguised way, he avoided the high inheritance tax and passed on the property to his children.

With the family's life guaranteed, he can leave with peace of mind.

Some people may argue that Westerners have always advocated not leaving a penny for their children. Why did Old Joe still do this? If that's how you understand it, all I can say is that you're naΓ―ve.

I have worked hard all my life, and after I leave, I will leave a family property for my children, which is human nature, and there is nothing in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and what naked donations advocated by the media are fooling you.

What is the place in the United States, money is supreme, if you have money, you are the uncle, if you don't have money, you have to beg, a very realistic country, you look at the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, William. Boeing Family, Eastman. The Kodak family, which is not a wealthy family in the United States, have you ever seen their family have children and grandchildren who can't live and run to the street to ask for food?

Tell you, no, not a single one. You must know that there are nine kinds of dragons, all kinds of differences, not all people have the talent of their ancestors, but there are more mediocre people.

As long as you meet people with such surnames in the United States, they are either the head of this charitable foundation, or the chairman of that foundation, and even the worst of them are the directors of a certain foundation, with an annual salary of more than $200,000, and they are typical middle-class people in the United States.

Even Warren Buffett and Bill, who became famous for their naked donations. The same goes for Gates, don't you see that Bill donated all his property and all the shares of Microsoft he held to the Linda Charitable Foundation after his death? Who is the head of this charitable foundation? It's Bill's wife, Linda. Gates.

You see, the so-called naked donation has water. Their property is donated to a charitable foundation established by his wife, and it is not up to their family to decide how to spend this money.

As for Warren Buffett, don't look at the fact that he donated most of his fortune to Bill. The charitable foundation established by the Gates couple, but I am sure that once Buffett dies, except for a small amount of money, most of the rest of the estate will return to the various charitable foundations established by Buffett's children in different ways and ways. Mr. and Mrs. Gates are actually the distributors of the estate formulated by Warren Buffett.

To put it mildly, philanthropy in the West is actually a game for the rich.

One of the biggest advantages of this inheritance transfer method is that it can prevent one's children and grandchildren from becoming degenerate to the greatest extent, and prevent their children from becoming enemies for the sake of family property.

After their own death, let them receive living expenses on time every month, so as to prevent them from having huge wealth all of a sudden, squandering their family property under psychological imbalance, and falling into a life predicament, discrediting their ancestors.

According to this logic, the so-called charitable foundation they set up is fake, a fake charity? Not really, they did a real charity.

This is because we don't understand the operation of charitable foundations in the West and the relevant laws, you must know that in the West charitable foundations have always been operated according to the organizational structure of the company, to put it bluntly, it is no different from ordinary companies, the only difference is that one is a non-profit company, no need to pay any taxes; One is a profit-oriented company, so it has to pay taxes to the government.

Non-profit companies can make financial investments or angel investment and other profit-making activities, they do not participate in the specific operation of the enterprise, when these charitable funds make profits, most of the profits will be used for charity, otherwise the government will treat them as profit-making institutions and tax them.

Since it is a charitable fund that operates according to the organizational structure of the company, there must always be managers and staff to pay salaries, right? So the question is, who will manage this foundation, or who will own it? They just put their own children in there, or simply let their children register one and then donate the money to the foundation, thus avoiding up to 80% inheritance tax.

Can't manage the Foundation yourself? It's okay, you can find a professional manager. After Anita Mui's death, didn't she set up an Anita Mui Charity Foundation, and there were specialized professional managers to take care of it? Her mother can receive a fixed living allowance from this foundation every month? If it weren't for the old lady who destroyed this foundation, it wouldn't have ended up miserably.

Therefore, there are many doorways in charitable foundations.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

After Ling Shizhe made Ambrera bigger, he also established such a company called Ambrera Charity Foundation, and there is also a Ling Shizhe Foundation, which holds a total of 20% of the shares of Ambrera Company, and the person in charge of these two foundations is Ling Shizhe's eldest wife Li Li.

When Ling Shizhe hurriedly felt the hospital, he found that his mother Zhang Yuzhen was also there, greeted his mother, and then asked, "Mom, what is Li Li's disease?" ”

Zhang Yuzhen glanced at him with complicated eyes and said, "You, you know work as a whole, and you don't care about your wife at all, what kind of illness?" You're going to be a dad! ”

Rumble! Ling Shizhe was stunned by this news, and soon a huge joy surged in, making him overjoyed, he was going to be a father, but he didn't expect to have offspring.

Seeing Ling Shizhe with a face full of joy, Li Qian on the side said: "After my sister signed a contract with China Resources Company today, she fainted before she could get home, and she was sent to the hospital for an examination, and found that her sister had been pregnant for more than two months, and her fainting was a pregnant woman's reaction. ”

The doctor came out of the ward, everyone went to surround the doctor, and Zhang Yuzhen asked eagerly, "Doctor, how is my daughter-in-law?" ”

"It's okay, the normal reaction of a pregnant woman, plus a little tired, that's why I fainted. Now that the patient is asleep, don't disturb the patient when you go in for a while. ”

"It's okay, thank you, doctor!" Zhang Yuzhen clasped her hands.

"No, it's the duty. Sign it. ”

Ling Shizhe came over and signed his name on the medical record, and after the doctor left, the three of them entered the ward and saw Li Li lying on the bed with a hanging bottle and falling asleep.

Zhang Yuzhen walked over and took the quilt for Li Li, which is a high-level single room with a TV, refrigerator, water dispenser and sofa.

Ling Shizhe and Li Qian sat down on the sofa, and after a while, he whispered to Li Qian: "You just said that Li Li signed a contract with China Resources Company, what kind of contract did you sign, how could you have a relationship with them, don't you know that they are a mainland company?" ”

"It's not for the hospital?"

Ling Shizhe......

Li Qian explained: "My sister is responsible for managing a charitable foundation that has built a kindergarten, a primary school, a nursing home and a charity hospital in Raccoon Town. The hospital is called Raccoon Hospital, and when my sister visited the hospital last month, she found that the price of penicillin purchased by the hospital was very high, costing $80 per vial. ”

"What...... Eighty dollars for a penicillin? Why is it so expensive and which company to buy it from? Ling Shizhe shouted loudly.

"What's it called, you want to call outside, don't you see the patient resting?" Zhang Yuzhen said dissatisfied.

Ling Shizhe hurriedly took Li Qian out of the ward and asked in the corridor, "Why is penicillin so expensive?" I remember penicillin was supposed to be cheap! ”

Li Qian sighed and said, "Who told you that penicillin is very cheap in North America, and told you that penicillin is expensive in North America." ”

"What's going on? Tell me more about it. No wonder Ling Shizhe was surprised, he remembered that in his previous life, it was because the price of penicillin was too low that the hospital couldn't make money, so the hospital didn't buy it later, but bought antibiotics with higher profits. Like cephalosporin, azithromycin, amoxicillin, etc.

Penicillin belongs to the earliest antibiotic, is the ancestor of modern antibiotics, it was born in the 20s of the 20th century, and has now developed to the third generation, after more than 40 years of clinical application, to now the manufacturing technology of penicillin has been very mature, the price should be very cheap, how can a piece actually cost eighty dollars?

"Husband, do you know that penicillin is a prescription drug in the West, and it cannot be bought on the market without a doctor's prescription list."

"I know that penicillin can be used too much to cause drug resistance, and it should not be used indiscriminately, and all Western countries divide drugs into prescription and over-the-counter drugs. But what does this have to do with the price? Ling Shizhe asked.

"Of course, it matters, all over-the-counter drugs are very cheap, and prescription drugs are generally expensive. You know why? Li Qian explained: "Because the production of prescription drugs like penicillin is much lower than that of over-the-counter drugs, the low production is of course quite high, and in addition, penicillin has to be billed by a doctor, if the prescription drug is set too low, then what does the doctor eat?" ”

Ling Shizhe understood, it turned out to be all money for a long time, I remember that in my previous life, when I went to the hospital to see a doctor, the doctor would prescribe a lot of medicines that patients could not use, or the medicines were prescribed, but they were all expensive high-grade medicines, and their purpose was to make money, because doctors also had to live and eat! Doctors in Western countries don't prescribe a lot of drugs to patients, and they don't prescribe high-grade drugs to patients, but they will find ways to raise the price of drugs so that doctors can make money.

In this way, although patients will bear higher medical costs, it also ensures that prescription drugs will not be abused by people because the price is too low, so as to protect the interests of doctors and patients, which is how penicillin for 80 dollars comes from.

But what does this have to do with Hong Kong's China Resources Company? Of course, it is related, because the selling price of penicillin in the mainland is only 1.8 yuan RMB, which is many times cheaper than penicillin in the United States. Every year, the mainland holds the Canton Fair, and many Hong Kong people will purchase goods from the mainland at the Canton Fair, and Li Li is often in Hong Kong, so she naturally knows that penicillin in the mainland is cheaper than that in the United States, so she has the idea of purchasing penicillin from the mainland.

Because the mainland is now engaged in sports, and she is Ling Shizhe's wife, she did not dare to go to the Canton Fair, so she contacted China Resources Company in Hong Kong, so the two sides signed a contract for the supply of penicillin.

"How much does the mainland sell us a piece of penicillin?"

"You would never have imagined," Li Qian gestured excitedly, "Their penicillin is not calculated by sticks, but by boxes, and each box of 12 is only $1.6." ”

Ling Shizhe ......, "This is too cheap!" Is there a guarantee of quality for such a cheap price? ”

"Rest assured, although China Resources is a mainland company, its reputation is still good, and they are in need of foreign exchange now, and they will definitely not dare to mess around. When we signed the contract with them today, the general manager of China Resources also asked us if we wanted other drugs to ensure high quality and low price. ”

Ling Shizhe thought about it, as long as China's goods are exported, the quality has always been excellent, and there should be no problems, so he put his mind at ease and began to talk to Li Qian about other things.

Ling Shizhe never thought about making any money when he opened a charity hospital, but if the western medicine in the mainland is really easy to use and inexpensive, Ling Shizhe does not mind purchasing drugs from the mainland, because it can save a lot of costs.
