Lu Zhou had similar plans before, but he never got busy.

David's words reminded him that if he really let the IRS make a profit, he would have to pay 100 million yuan in personal income of 400 million US dollars.

let people take away 100 million for no reason, and Lu Zhou estimated that he would have to die uncomfortably.

The Cayman Islands is the perfect choice for this situation.

There are only a few simple taxes on the island, such as import tax, industrial and commercial registration tax, and tourist tax. For companies registered on the island, not only does the government not levy business tax, but also does not even audit the company's accounts, except for the uniform payment of a license fee in January every year, there is no more claim.

Because there are so many companies hanging vests here, including Microsoft, Google, and BAT in the distance, even if the license fee is not high, it has become the pillar of the local economy.

According to David, there are specialized firms in New York that can solve a series of audit services from the registration of offshore companies to account opening, and then to follow-up.

He didn't even have to set foot on that small island in the Caribbean Sea in his life to have a "multinational company" there.

After the evening party held by MRS, Lu Zhou returned to his room.

"Is it possible to outsource even a company now?" Looking at the business card David gave him, he complained in his heart, and then took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on it.

According to David, the firm, known by the abbreviation "AM", is well-known in the field of materials science, mainly serving major universities and technology companies, and has extensive experience in offshore company registration and intellectual property-related services.

Basically, every problem he can think of can be solved perfectly.

The phone was quickly connected, and a formulaic female voice came from the other side.

"Hello sir, this is AM Office, what business do you plan to handle?"

Lu Zhou simply explained that he needed an offshore patent management company to cooperate with overseas companies in intellectual property licensing, and to do a certain amount of "tax planning" on income.

After listening to his request, the other party immediately understood what he meant, especially after learning that he was not asking casually, and his voice became serious.

“…… Can you ask specifically, what is the expected range of your business scale? For example, is the expected profit in a year less than $1 million, or more? ”

Lu Zhou thought for a moment.

“…… Probably more than 100 million. ”

There was silence on the other end of the line for about three seconds.

"Sir?"

Lu Zhou: "What's wrong?" ”

"Sorry, I didn't hear clearly, but you said ......"

Lu Zhou: "More than 100 million, is there any problem?" ”

There was a small commotion on the other end of the phone, footsteps, and the sound of flipping through documents.

Immediately after that, the phone was snatched away, and someone was replaced to negotiate with Lu Zhou.

"Hello sir, I'm Woolf Witt, and I'm here to advise you all the way through. What's your name? ”

This person's voice was obviously much more enthusiastic.

"Lu Zhou."

"Okay, Mr. Lu Zhou." Woolf held her mobile phone in her arm and quickly filled in the customer information on the paper, "Yes, if you plan to become a patent management company, if the amount of funds in the account is large, even if the Cayman Islands itself does not audit the company's accounts, the bank will require you to provide a copy of the company's business statements for filing." ”

Lu Zhou frowned and asked, "Is it troublesome?" ”

"No, no, no, it's not a hassle at all, we can provide you with three options......"

As soon as he seemed to be planning to introduce the three plans from beginning to end, Lu Zhou interrupted him with a headache.

"Send me your three proposals and include your quotes. I'll get in touch with you if it's appropriate, I don't want to discuss it on the phone, that's all. ”

Woolf quickly stopped talking: "Yes sir, may I ask what your email address is......"

After explaining his email, Lu Zhou repeated his request, and then hung up the phone.

……

The firm recommended to him by David Shaw is indeed very efficient.

Aside from the fact that the agent named Woolf was a little talkative, there was nothing else to complain about.

Since their business area revolves around intellectual property, and their customer base is dominated by major universities and research institutes, they quickly found out the relevant information after hearing Lu Zhou's name.

Especially when Woolf learned what kind of big guy his customer was, this benevolent brother immediately showed the greatest attention, and almost stayed up all night to rush out three plans and send them to Lu Zhou's mailbox.

As soon as he got up the next morning, when Lu Zhou routinely checked his mailbox, he saw the email.

There are 12 pages in total, which not only attach three proposals, but also a quotation for each plan, as well as a sample of the agency contract.

According to AM's last "customized package", he only needs to pay a service fee of $500,000 to get a fully structured patent agency, and the firm also provides two years of after-sales service to solve a series of legal problems.

In this country, it seems that as long as there is money, everything is not a problem.

Even if Lu Zhou didn't consider it for the time being, Woolf thought of it for him, and almost didn't recommend him a property that meets his current worth, as well as buy a financial product for the company's idle funds in the future......

Because he was afraid of trouble, Lu Zhou almost did not hesitate and chose the most trouble-free plan three.

The Craford Award prize money has not been used much, and with Princeton's salary, he can still get half a million dollars.

What's more, he doesn't need to pay the money all at once, just settle the balance after the project is completed.

By that time, hundreds of thousands of dollars would be nothing more than a drizzle for him.

After receiving the deposit of $200,000, Woolf, the agent of AM Firm, immediately left for Boston.

Although it is not necessary to complete the contract in person now, in order to show his sincerity and develop this awesome boss into his own customer, he still rushed over with the contract and an assistant.

After agreeing on a place to meet, and recognizing Lu Zhou at the door of the hotel, Woolf stretched out her right hand from a long distance and greeted him warmly.

"Fortunately, I will be happy! You are Mr. Lu Zhou, and I am the agent in charge of your case...... Here is my business card. ”

After shaking hands with Lu Zhou, Woolf expertly handed him his business card and continued.

“…… If you haven't eaten yet, we can chat while eating. I know there's a really nice café around here, and the tuna sandwich is the best I've ever had. ”

Putting away the business card, Lu Zhou looked at him with some surprise and asked, "You often come here?" ”

"Of course, many of my clients are in Boston, and I've been here more than ten times. ”

After some pleasantries, the two did not stop at the door of the hotel, found a quiet café nearby, began to meet the specific details of the patent management company, and signed an agency contract.

According to what is in the contract.

AM will help him get the patent management company done within two weeks.

And Lu Zhou will pay off the remaining balance by the end of January next year.

There is no room for manipulation in this kind of agency contract, and it is impossible for this kind of formal firm to joke with its own reputation, Lu Zhou signed his name on the contract after checking the amount figure and the cooperation rules.

Having accepted her own contract, Woolf continued to speak, almost professionally.

"By the way, we note that the cooperation between you and Umicore Belgium is still in the letter of intent stage. Out of professional responsibility, I must remind you that with hundreds of millions of dollars in intellectual property cooperation, there is a high probability that such chemical giants will set traps in contracts. They have a cunning team of lawyers, and even punctuation can hide traps......"

Clearing her throat, Woolf continued.

“…… In order to eliminate hidden dangers, I sincerely recommend that you choose our team of lawyers to assist you in signing the contract, our lawyers are absolutely the best of the best when it comes to intellectual property issues——"

Putting down the pen in his hand, Lu Zhou interrupted him with a headache: "One thing comes one thing at a time." You can help me get the patent management company done first, and then I will continue to consider you if I am satisfied. ”

Woolf smiled confidently.

"Rest assured, sir, the business capabilities of our AM firm will surely satisfy you, whether it is a lawyer or an accountant!"
