South Africa is so frightened of the military threat of the Ukrainian Union that it feels that there is no hope of winning a conventional war. This is still the case with the largest country in southern Africa, let alone other neighbouring countries? Despite its small population and poor industrial base, it is an undoubted regional power, and neighboring countries such as South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Angola are currently reluctant to engage in armed conflict with the Union.
After studying abroad for half a year, Meng Haiyong is already clear about the status of the United States as a regional power.
Referring to the foreign policy between the UUD and its neighbors and China, it is assumed that the UB's welcome to Wei Dongsheng should stop at a formality.
Wei Dongsheng's business prestige is extremely high.
In the latest list of global billionaires released by Forbes in March 2014, Wei Dongsheng surpassed Microsoft Bill Gates and Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim Elu again after a year and returned to the throne of the world's richest man. Since neither the Zhiyu series of companies nor the Zhuwei series of companies are listed, when Forbes valuates Wei Dongsheng's wealth, it mainly refers to Wei Dongsheng's 25.3% Spring and Autumn Search shares, 7.5% Tencent shares, and 6.27% Spring and Autumn Network shares.
After CR-8300, CR-29000, CR18 and other image reality equipment appeared at the opening ceremony of the unmanned supermarket, the stock price of Spring and Autumn Search has continued to fluctuate and rise in the past six months, so that Forbes valued Wei Dongsheng's 25.3% Spring and Autumn Search equity at as much as 93.7 billion US dollars. In the 2014 Forbes list of the world's billionaires, Mexican telecom operator Carlos Slim Elu ranked second in the world with $69.6 billion, and Microsoft Bill Gates ranked third in the world with $63.8 billion. There is no need to calculate the value of 7.5% of Tencent's equity and 6.27% of Chunqiu's network equity, Wei Dongsheng can crush all the super-rich in the world with only 25.3% of Chunqiu's search equity.
When the time came to 2014, Wei Dongsheng's honor as the richest man in the world was unbreakable.
As long as the Spring and Autumn Search develops steadily, Wei Dongsheng will be able to monopolize the title of the richest man in the world like the richest man in China.
However, business is business after all.
In Meng Haiyong's eyes, no matter how great Wei Dongsheng is, he is only a pioneer of the times who is ten times better than Jobs, and it is difficult to subvert the unspoken political rules before power. Just like a certain meeting in China, it seems that a group of cabinet elders are often dispatched to greet some business tycoons, but in fact, they are just formalizing the process.
The welcoming ceremony of the United Nations was obviously not a formality, and they prepared Wei Dongsheng's visit as a national event.
Soon, Meng Haiyong knew the reason.
Wei Dongsheng met with Du Qingjiang for a short time, and broke a sensational news to reporters: "Spring and Autumn and other enterprises will jointly invest 300 billion US dollars with the United States and other countries to unveil a new future." ”
$300 billion!
This is definitely not a small amount.
In 2013, the GDP of the United States was 28.2 billion US dollars, and the fiscal revenue was 8.77 billion US dollars. Simple multiplication and division, 300 billion US dollars of investment, can be equivalent to 34 years of financial revenue of the United States, it is terrifying to think about.
$300 billion is not a small amount for China. In 2013, the average exchange rate was simply converted, and 300 billion US dollars was 184 million yuan. Think about the 4 trillion plan after the economic crisis in 2008, the huge Chinese economy has been affected by the 4 trillion plan, not to mention the U.S. Union, which has a population of only 2.5 million?
$300 billion is not a small amount for the United States. The U.S. military spending in 2013 was about $600 billion, and $300 billion of investment could keep the U.S. war machine running for half a year.
What country would dare not pay attention to such a horrific scale of investment?
In addition to being shocked, Meng Haiyong couldn't help but question: "Does Spring and Autumn have so much money?" ”
This was the concern of the journalists present, and the doubts of all viewers. Even if Du Qingjiang, chairman of the alliance party, had already reached an agreement on behalf of the United States, he couldn't help but question whether the $300 billion could be truly implemented, and whether Wei Dongsheng's $300 billion investment was the truth or a gimmick?
The answer, of course, is true.
Does Wei Dongsheng have $300 billion?
It can be said that there is.
$300 billion is a lot, but it's not a lot.
For 30 years, when Apple announced its 2017 fiscal quarter statements, it announced that its cash reserves reached a terrifying $260 billion.
Apple's so-called cash reserves are not liquidity, which everyone takes for granted, but generally refers to all highly liquid debts or cash equivalents that can be quickly realized. Moreover, in order to reasonably avoid U.S. tax policy, the vast majority of Apple's cash reserves are derived from profits from overseas sales. This is also an unspoken rule of operating a multinational company, because if a multinational company takes its overseas profits back to the United States, this part of the profits needs to be taxed at 35% of the US corporate income tax. Multinational companies such as Apple would rather keep their profits in overseas markets than be skinned by the US tax authorities.
Compared with the United States, China's tax policy is more favorable to multinational companies.
No matter how preferential treatment is, you have to pay taxes, especially for multinational companies in China, and the relevant tax departments are always staring at this piece of fat.
How to avoid taxes reasonably and legally is always a profound knowledge.
For example, if Company A deliberately sets up a subsidiary A in a low-tax country or region in order to avoid taxes, will it be able to escape domestic tax supervision if it keeps its overseas profits in Subsidiary A? Unfortunately, the answer is no, the Enterprise Income Tax stipulates that resident enterprises or enterprises controlled by Chinese resident shareholders and established in countries or regions with an actual tax burden of less than 12.5% are required to unconditionally accept the anti-avoidance investigation of the Chinese authorities if they do not distribute or reduce the distribution of profits for reasons other than reasonable business needs.
The game of the state belongs to the game of the state, and the game of commercial profits belongs to the profit of commerce.
Just as multinational companies such as Apple did their best to avoid taxes reasonably, Wei Dongsheng should also uphold the simple concept of "capital pursues profit maximization" to learn from his peers and keep his massive cash reserves overseas.
One is the advantage of rebirth, and the other is the black technology bonus from the Shadow Empire, the profitability of the smartphone business can not only crush the Apple of this world, but also catch up with the Apple in the memory of 30 years. Correspondingly, the cash reserves of Zhiyu Technology, Zhixing Group and other enterprises are by no means inferior to Apple's 30-year memory. Coupled with the 25.3% stake of Spring and Autumn Search, which is valued at $93.7 billion by Forbes, Wei Dongsheng is fully capable of raising $300 billion.
But then again, what is money?
Money is money, a medium of exchange between things, and an equivalent to measure value. Money is only a unit of measurement of exchange value, and when the exchange value remains the same and money increases, money will depreciate; Money increases in value when the exchange value remains the same and the currency decreases.
When the scale of capital is large to a certain extent, financial investment can no longer be regarded as a vegetable market transaction, and the energy of $300 billion is definitely not 3,000 times that of $100 million, let alone 300 billion times that of $1, because large-scale capital flows will almost certainly induce a series of chain reactions. Just like the impact of the 4 trillion plan on China's economy, from a micro perspective to feel this subtle change, is 100 yuan before 2008 and 100 yuan in 2017 the same thing? Another example is the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, where securities were considered very safe cash reserves before the crisis, but quickly depreciated into junk that no one wanted.
When the scale of capital reaches a certain level, money is no longer simply money.
$100 million has $100 million to play, and $300 billion has $300 billion to play.
If Wei Dongsheng used the Wulian vest to realize $300 billion on a large scale, he would definitely be interviewed by the Central Bank of China for the first time; If Wei Dongsheng intends to turn half of the Spring and Autumn Search equity into tens of billions of dollars in cash, there is a high probability that shareholders will flee in panic, which may lead to the market value of more than 300 billion US dollars in the Spring and Autumn Search to plummet in half in an instant. To put it simply, the $300 billion on the books does not mean that Wei Dongsheng can really get $300 billion in cash, and even if Wei Dongsheng gets $300 billion in cash, it does not mean that $300 billion still has $300 billion in purchasing power.
Therefore, it can be said that Wei Dongsheng has 300 billion US dollars, and it can also be said that Wei Dongsheng does not have 300 billion US dollars.
However, this has little to do with the 300 billion investment agreement.
$300 billion is true.
But just like the moisture of film investment, the $300 billion claim is also a cleverly designed gimmick.
Unlike Huaguo's 4 trillion plan, Wei Dongsheng's $300 billion investment in Thailand is half a gimmick. The $300 billion project is, in the final analysis, the quantum fluctuation circle project that Wei Dongsheng has been preparing for more than ten years. After more than ten years of perseverance in reproducing future science and technology, the core technical threshold of the quantum fluctuation circle has just been preliminarily solved at the end of 2013, and it is the best time to build the quantum fluctuation circle. It's April 2014 now, and it's still 45 months before the rout of the Shadow Empire in the previous life, so as long as there is no trouble during the period, there is still plenty of time.
For various reasons, Wei Dongsheng is ready to build two quantum fluctuation circles.
One quantum fluctuation circle is placed in Panyang City, Huaguo, and the other quantum fluctuation circle is placed in Wulian.
The $300 billion investment is the project grant for the two quantum fluctuation circles. In other words, the difficulty of the quantum fluctuation circle lies in the technical threshold. After solving the technical threshold restrictions and deducting the project funds of the R&D team, the cost of building two quantum fluctuation circles is not much more expensive than building one quantum fluctuation circle. Most of the so-called $300 billion investment needs to go through the project research and development ledger, and the expenditure of many projects can be double-counted.
First of all, the $300 billion investment is expected to last six years, and the first four years will build a quantum fluctuation circle, burning an average of $60 billion per year; In the last two years, the maintenance of the quantum fluctuation circle and the follow-up research burned an average of $30 billion per year. The greatest value of considering the quantum fluctuation circle is to call for help in time for the carbon-based life alliance, which can decide the life and death of the earth in 2018, and considering that 2014 is already halfway through, the project actually only needs to implement 210 billion US dollars. If the goal is to save the carbon-based life alliance, the subsequent $90 billion plan will be a gimmick that does not need to be implemented.
The $300 billion gimmick turned into $60 billion a year, a total of $210 billion in continuous investment, and the eyeball effect was instantly much smaller.
In addition, Wei Dongsheng consciously integrated the core technology of the quantum fluctuation circle into the research plans of Zhuwei, Zhixing, Zhiyu and other enterprises, and the "normal R&D plans" of many Spring and Autumn enterprises can also be piled up into the investment of 300 billion US dollars in a dual-purpose way. You must know that the R&D investment of Zhiyu series enterprises in 2013 was about 16 billion US dollars, the R&D investment of Zhixing series enterprises in 2013 was about 9 billion US dollars, the R&D investment of Zhuwei series enterprises in 2013 was about 6 billion US dollars, and the R&D investment of Spring and Autumn series enterprises in 2013 was about 3 billion US dollars. The R&D projects required by the quantum fluctuation circle are scattered and hidden in the R&D projects of Spring and Autumn enterprises, which indirectly leads to at least $11 billion of the $60 billion in continuous investment per year.
