Chapter 340: Marionette

"As for the mount system, keep it open for later."

Li Lin felt more and more that he had a model of profiteer, and he was ruthless in pit players, but when he thought of the twist vine being scolded by players in later generations, and the end of coming and going day long, Li Lin shuddered a little.

"You must not let people know that the owner of the gold medal game company is me."

Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "Qi Xiangdong, you find a professional organization to help me register an offshore company, and then transfer the shares of the gold medal game company to the offshore company." ”

There are two benefits to doing so.

One is to hide himself, after all, if a star is scolded by players, it will also affect his reputation, and the other is to avoid taxes reasonably.

Tax avoidance is not tax evasion, but to cater to the government's policy to achieve the effect of tax reduction, although this tax avoidance means is not as direct as tax evasion, but it is carried out under the permission of the law, which can minimize taxes, and even be tax-free with the support of some policies.

This method is very common in Europe and the United States, and now it is gradually becoming popular in China.

"Do you want to avoid taxes reasonably?" Qi Xiangdong was keenly aware of the hidden meaning of Li Lin's words, "If you want to reasonably avoid taxes, it is not enough to just establish an offshore shell company." ”

"You also need to set up entertainment companies in European and American countries."

"The United States and the United Kingdom are not recommended."

Qi Xiangdong said on the phone, "The United States is too domineering, and his taxation is a global collection, and you will lose a lot of money if you establish a company in the United States, not only will it not achieve the effect of tax avoidance." ”

"The UK entertainment tax is too high, even if it is done through guò tax avoidance. It's also easy to lose. ”

"I recommend you to set up a company in Australia." Qi Xiangdong said: "But if you are establishing a company in Australia, then the biggest problem is your nationality. ”

"My nationality?" Li Lin subconsciously asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"Have you forgotten your personal income tax?" Qi Xiangdong said with a smile: "Twenty percent personal income tax." You don't want to find a way to avoid it? ”

"You mean immigrants?" Li Lin's face was slightly gloomy, he knew that immigrants could avoid taxes, in the previous life, the reason why many rich people emigrated was not because they were persecuted or anything as said on the Internet, the reason why they did that was just to avoid taxes.

As for why Americans don't withdraw their citizenship to avoid taxes, it's entirely because the U.S. government is too dark.

When an American wants to change his nationality. With more than $500,000 in his fortune, he needs to pay a large 'exit tax', and it is this tax that many wealthy Americans are miserable.

Equally painful are inheritance and gift taxes.

These two are taxed super harshly, more than half of the wealth of the rich. To use an analogy, if a billionaire dies and leaves his fortune to his son, the U.S. government collects $50 billion in taxes.

If a wealthy man wants to avoid inheritance tax by gifting his property to his son, then the U.S. government will sue you. We also levy a gift tax.

What is gift tax.

A gift tax is a tax levied when you give a sum of money to someone else, including strangers and loved ones. It is the same as the inheritance tax, which is also a 50% tax.

If you include gift and inheritance taxes and other miscellaneous taxes, at least 80% of the wealth earned by a wealthy American in his lifetime will fall into the hands of the U.S. government.

This is also the fundamental reason why the IRS is more effective than a department, so in the United States, wealthy American businessmen joke that they are working for the U.S. government.

However, in the United States, if you do charity, you can reduce all kinds of taxes, so many wealthy Americans will do charity to avoid taxes.

Like Bill. Gates's Gates Fund was deposited for tax avoidance.

Fortune magazine once claimed that 'this is a tax avoidance'. "Fortune" pointed out that he does not need to keep money at all, and his children will have a fund to take care of. In this life, there is no need for food and clothing. If you really want to give the inheritance to your children, according to U.S. law, the federal ZF will take more than half of the inheritance tax from it. In fact, the American 'rich' are like this, not because they want their children to struggle on their own, but because it is a means to avoid taxes.

That is to say, Bill. Gatstong Guò donated 5% of his fortune to avoid 50% of the estate tax, and he used the money he should have paid to the U.S. government for charity, on the one hand, to gain a good reputation for himself, and on the other hand, to make money.

Because the charity fund is not only to do charity, but also to make money through various investments, to Bill. Gates' Gates Fund, for example.

The tens of billions of dollars of the Gates Fund earns about 25% of the annual profit through investment, although compared with many well-known funds, the profitability of the Gates Fund is nothing, but for a Gates Fund that aims to avoid taxes, this rate of return is already very high.

And when Gates made his will, he chose not to give the company's shares and cash to his descendants, but to give the fund to his descendants.

That is to say, after Gates' death, Gates's wealth will be converted into funds from the fund, and then the fund will use these funds to invest to make money, and then give a part of the money earned to Gates's descendants, so as to ensure that Gates's descendants have no worries about food and clothing for generations.

This method is countless times more clever than the wealthy in China giving away their wealth to their children.

After a wealthy Chinese man gives his property to his children, it is fine if he meets a shrewd person, but if he meets a less shrewd person, or even a loser, it is easy to lose all his property.

And this kind of fund is much better.

Even if Gates's descendants are very likely to lose, they can only lose the property they have gotten, and the descendants of Gates only have the right to own the assets in the fund and have no right to use.

In China, charity cannot avoid taxes, so there are not many rich people who do charity, and the reason why more rich people do charity is to create a good social image on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also communicate with other people through various charity parties, treating charity parties as banquets, and the money donated is tickets.

Similarly, in China, there is no 'exit tax', so more than 80% of businessmen change their nationality to avoid taxes, which is the same as the motivation of Americans to do charity.

As for the fund.

In the absence of adequate monitoring, keen eyes and good rules are far from being able to match inside information, so a lot of funds go bankrupt, unlike in the United States, which basically makes less money, but there is no risk. "Hmm."

Qi Xiangdong gave Li Lin advice.

"If you go to the United States in the future, you recommend you to become an Australian citizen." Qi Xiangdong said: "In the foreign actors' club in the United States, Australian actors are far more popular than Huaxia. ”

"A lot of actors who go to Hollywood are attached to Australian nationality."

"The most important thing is that Australia is turning a blind eye to the dual citizenship thing."

"Although Huaxia does not support dual citizenship, it is also not very checkable, you can hold both Australasian nationality and Huaxia nationality."

"Creating de facto dual citizenship, so as to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance."

"Is it difficult to apply for Australian citizenship?" Li Lin was shaken, if he didn't cancel his Chinese nationality, he would still be Chinese, and as for Australian nationality, it was just a springboard, equivalent to a passport.

"It's not difficult." Qi Xiangdong said with a smile, "They welcome investors like you to join their nationality, provided that they are not involved in the underworld, and Australia is particularly strict in this regard." ”

"Like Stephen Chow, because he was involved with underworld forces, he has repeatedly failed to apply for Australian citizenship."

"You help me make some preparations, and I'll apply after a while." Li Lin made up his mind to do what Qi Xiangdong said, "The company still depends on you to take care of it." ”

"I can't take care of it." Qi Xiangdong smiled bitterly, "There are not many things to do now, and I can take care of them, but after several companies have developed, I will be alone and lacking skills." ”

"I'm looking for a few professional managers."

"I will." Li Lin answered and hung up the phone.

The next day, Li Lin put on a neutral makeup, highlighting a neutral and demonic feeling, and then wearing an ancient Korean opera robe, giving people the illusion of 'demonic spirit'.

Compared with Lee Joon-gi's version of Kong Ji, Li Lin has a sense of masculinity mixed with the 'demon', and if Lee Joon-gi's version of Kong Ji doesn't look at the Adam's apple, it is easy for a careless person to recognize him as a girl.

And although Li Lin's version of Kong Ji is demonic, others know that he is a man at a glance, because he has a masculine atmosphere unique to men.

"It's great." Director Li Junyi praised Li Lin's makeup more and more, "It's really not wrong to ask you to act." ”

Li Lin's first makeup gave him a soft and rigid collision, although there was nothing wrong with looking left and right, but it looked very uncomfortable.

And now Li Lin gives him the feeling that it is indeed a perfect combination of rigidity and softness, soft with rigidity.

"Each group, please check the machine." Li Junyi's face suddenly became stiff, and the atmosphere of the entire crew changed, becoming dull, everyone had a straight face, no longer a hippie smile, and soon entered the work state.

"The photographer prepares, the actor prepares ......."

A series of orders spat out of his mouth, and many actors hurriedly straightened their positions and did what the script required.

No one dares to talk nonsense, no one dares to complain about the plot, and the actors are like marionettes in the hands of the director.

"No wonder the Japanese media call Korean actors soulless marionettes, the director is the fingers that manipulate the puppet, and the editor is the brain, which is indeed no different from a puppet." Li Lin said secretly in his heart.

The soulless marionette was originally ridiculed by Europeans in Hollywood, but Hollywood's big-name artists told Europeans with the fact that in Hollywood, actors, at least big-name actors, have equal rights to the director in the crew, and they are not marionettes.

So the title fell on the heads of Koreans. (To be continued......)
