237: Tax havens

The next Hungarian Grand Prix starts on 1 August, two weeks later.

After the Hungarian Grand Prix, the summer break is something that all drivers and team staff are looking forward to.

Qin Miao is no exception, although Qin Miao has at least a day of rest after the end of each Grand Prix weekend, but the high-intensity work and long hours flying around the world also make Qin Miao and everyone in the team feel tired, and it is time to take a little rest.

Of course, everyone knows that the last shift before the break is the hardest to stand on.

However, for Qin Miao, this is also two weeks later.

Nothing was said all night.

……

The next day, Qin Miao got up under the reminder of the biological clock, and after getting up, Qin Miao subconsciously reached out to help her waist.

At this time, Qiu Meng was still sleeping very deeply, and Qin Miao's movement of getting up had no effect on her at all.

Her physical fitness is as strong as Qin Miao, and when she got up this morning, she also held her waist, which shows how tired Qiu Meng was yesterday, Qin Miao remembered that this girl seemed to be so tired that she rolled her eyes last night.

After getting up, Qin Miao cleaned up the clothes scattered all over the house, and looked at the COS suit that had been torn open by herself.

I blinked my mouth a little pity, the material and feel of this dress are very good, and Qiu Meng is also very good-looking to wear, restored.

This one is broken, why don't you buy another one later......

After cleaning up briefly, Qin Miao went to the kitchen to order a bowl of egg noodles for herself, which can be regarded as dealing with the breakfast of her vacation.

Yesterday was quite late, according to the previous situation, Qiu Meng in this state basically had to wait until noon to wake up, so Qin Miao didn't need to prepare breakfast for this girl.

After eating breakfast, Qin Miao opened his racing simulator and familiarized himself with the Hangaroring track a little.

It's a daily exercise to keep your hand in place, and it's nothing surprising.

After running for more than an hour, Qin Miao's only thing related to racing today was over.

After that, it came to the game link that Qin Miao liked to see.

After being busy for so long, it's time to enjoy it.

turned on the computer, and the picture of playing with Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc last night was still vivid, and the addiction to playing games in Qin Miao's heart was hooked again.

So today, Qin Miao is not going to go out fishing, and will play games at home for a day until he is tired of playing.

At the same time, Qin Miao did not forget the fans who often let themselves open live broadcasts under their Weibo, so when they turned on the computer, Qin Miao also turned on the live broadcast.

Because it is still daylight saving time, the domestic time is 7 hours faster than that of the UK, and now it is more than 8 o'clock on Qin Miao's side, and it is almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon in China.

Although there are not as many people watching the live broadcast as at night, there are quite a few people watching the live broadcast during this time period.

So Qin Miao has just started broadcasting, and there are many fans who have paid attention to Qin Miao in the live broadcast room.

【Got you!】 】

[Look what I found]

[Teary-eyed, Qin Miao finally remembered the account password in his live broadcast room]

[Live Qin Miao! 】

[Yo Yo Yo, isn't this the champion of the British Grand Prix? ] Finally remembering our poor buddies? 】

[Grandpa, the anchor you follow is on the air! ] 】

[You're finally willing to start broadcasting]

[Do you still know about the broadcast? 】

Looking at the verbal criticism on the barrage, Qin Miao didn't care, after all, they all knew that this was not their main business, and they were making fun of it more than a joke.

After opening the live broadcast room and getting the barrage software, Qin Miao started his CSGO massacre today while chatting with the barrage in his live broadcast room.

The light car is familiar with the road and points to match.

Soon a game began, and after entering the game, Qin Miao was also recognized by his teammates in the game.

Although Qin Miao is now playing on foreign servers, the fact that F1 drivers play CSGO is quite new to CSGO players.

And Qin Miao is also one of the most popular figures in the paddock, plus Qin Miao uses a very recognizable ID like qinmiao in the game, it is not an unacceptable thing for Qin Miao to be recognized.

So at the beginning of the game, his teammates gave Qin Miao a P250, which stood out as a trust.

Qin Miao didn't live up to the guns issued by his teammates, and after the game started, there were four heads in the account.

In Qin Miao's live broadcast room for a while:

【Hang!】 】

[The lock is open? 】

[Is it open or hanging? 】

[It's off, it's boring]

【Iron Lock】

Among them, Qin Miao's source of happiness for today's day was also opened.

……

Just as Qin Miao thought before the game started, Qin Miao didn't do anything else all day on Monday, and he didn't close it after the live broadcast room was opened, and he has been playing CSGO, and even pulled four professional brothers to start the slaughter mode on the ladder.

Although Qin Miao did not force himself to team up with a professional brother, Qin Miao's fame is actually greater than that of many CSGO professional players, and the professional brother will naturally not refuse when he sees the opportunity to play games with Qin Miao.

And it's not an exaggeration to say that as long as Qin Miao wants to, he can buy most of the current professional teams in CSGO now, which is the kind that he directly buys with the equipment of the team members, or even the kind that he directly buys with the training base.

The final result was that Qin Miao had played almost twenty games all day and had not lost a single game.

After a little indulgence for a day, Qin Miao returned to his familiar life the next day.

Get up in the morning to train, eat breakfast, then practice physical fitness, take a nap at noon, go to the simulator in the afternoon to familiarize yourself with the track, and watch the video that Barber prepared for Qin Miao in advance, Qin Miao's schedule for the day is so full.

On Wednesday, Qin Miao went to the team factory to report before ten o'clock in the morning, and today is the day when Qin Miao resumes clocking in and out of work every day.

Time has passed, and Qin Miao, who was walking on the way to work, regretted the decision to live near the convoy at the beginning.

If you live close, it is indeed much more convenient to go to work, but as a part-time worker, the most taboo thing is actually to live too close to the company.

Because after Qin Miao gradually became familiar with the paddock, he knew that Hamilton and they usually did not come to the team, and only when there was a special event would they arrange a trip to the team to deal with it.

Most of the riders in the paddock are exercising on their own when they are not racing, and then running the track to find their rhythm, and the rest of the time they are flying around, walking the catwalk, participating in fashion weeks, endorsing, and appearing on shows.

And a driver like Qin Miao, who runs to the team factory every day like a worker, is currently the only one in the entire paddock.

Because of this, any problems encountered by the team in the past were basically researched, debugged and solved by the team's own reserve drivers.

But since Qin Miao moved to the vicinity of the convoy, everything was basically a phone call to call Qin Miao to deal with it.

Although the same work can be done by reserve drivers, after all, they are reserve drivers, and they do not have the experience of driving F1 on the field for a long time like other F1 drivers, so after these data run by reserve drivers are handed over to Qin Miao, they also need to use this set of data to run a few laps on the field during the practice session to verify the suitability with the driver.

And Qin Miao came to run the data without these troubles, Qin Miao himself is a strong F1 driver, and his driving style is similar to Hamilton.

The data he ran out Hamilton was ready to use, and the adjustments that needed to be made were only minor tweaks.

If F1 launches a driver overtime schedule this year, Qin Miao will definitely be the first.

So in order to get rid of the current situation, Qin Miao's side also began to actively seek change.

In fact, Qin Miao asked Leclerc on Sunday night to help him find out if there was any good housing in Monaco after he returned to Monaco.

That's right, Qin Miao is ready to buy a house in Monaco and settle down.

Although a house of more than a dozen square meters in Monaco costs millions of dollars, there are still many people who rush to it.

There is no other reason than because if you live in Monaco, you don't have to pay personal income tax.

This is also the reason why Monaco is known as a tax haven.

For example, Qin Miao, who settled in the UK, received an endorsement contract, and the price given to Qin Miao by the partner was 2 million euros a year of endorsement.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Miao needs to pay 45% of the personal income tax to the UK, which means that after Qin Miao's contract is finalized, he will have to pay 900,000 euros in taxes to the British government.

But if Qin Miao settles in Monaco, then no matter how much or how little he endorses the contract, Qin Miao can put all the money into his pocket.

Of course, Qin Miao is not an ordinary person after all, and it is not difficult to settle in Monaco.

Monaco's settlement policy is not difficult for wealthy people, and if you want to settle in Monaco, you must first own a property in Monaco and have more than 600,000 euros in the local bank.

These requirements are naturally not a problem for Qin Miao.

After arriving at the fleet factory, Qin Miao made an unexpected discovery, because Toto also came today.

Toto is the boss, and he usually goes to work at the same pace as Hamilton.

I come most of the week, but the main thing is that I arrive late and leave early.

Basically, come and take a look and leave.

However, Qin Miao didn't pay much attention to it at first, maybe Toto just had something to deal with, so he came over first.

came to his office and put down the things he had brought over, and then Qin Miao was ready to go to the factory downstairs to take a look at his car and the installation of new parts.

Mercedes had one promotion during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

After reading the installation of the upgraded parts, Qin Miao was ready to go to the simulator department to run the data.

However, as soon as he put things away from his office, Toto beckoned to Qin Miao in Toto's office on the other side.

"Qin Miao, come to me."

Qin Miao nodded when she saw this.

He said that it is impossible for Toto to come so early, why did there be an accident today, and his feelings came to him.

Confidently entered Toto's office and sat down in the chair in front of Toto.

Toto's office is the largest in the Mercedes F1 team, followed by Qin Miao, Hamilton and Allison.

The office has also been specially decorated according to everyone's preferences, and everyone has a decoration payment when they join the company, but Qin Miao has never made it.

The main thing is that it is troublesome, and if you decorate it, you have to use other people's offices for a long time, which is a little inconvenient.

After sitting down, Qin Miao asked curiously, "Toto, do you have anything to do with me?" Or is there something I need to attend? ”

Toto didn't rush to the point, first brewed a cup of black coffee for Qin Miao, and then chatted about other things: "Do you know, Qin Miao, when we signed you, we didn't make a decision with a pat on our heads, we had a lot of considerations at that time.

I value your future, and Daimler AG has its eye on the Chinese market behind you.

But we didn't expect that you would surprise us from a perspective that no one else expected. ”

With that, Toto turned to look at a large screen in his office, which showed the current team and driver standings.

And Qin Miao beat his seven-time champion teammate Hamilton in the standings, occupying the first place with 8 points more than his teammates.

Toto's so-called surprise should be this.

Although Toto said the truth, the modesty in the bones of the Chinese still made Qin Miao subconsciously say: "Hamilton is a seven-time champion after all, I am just eight points more than him by chance, this season is still very long, I believe that with Hamilton's strength, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses me in the overall standings."

Toto smiled, he also didn't think that Qin Miao could stay in his current position for too long, Qin Miao was indeed very strong, but after running for so long this season, Mei Ben also gained enough data, and from these data, it is not difficult to judge that Qin Miao's speed is not as fast as Hamilton's, plus what he is going to say to Qin Miao today......

All in all, Mercedes will do everything in their power to ensure that Hamilton wins this year's Drivers' Championship and achieves eight crowns.

Of course, I want to think so, but in front of Qin Miao, it is impossible for Toto to directly tell the truth in his heart.

So Toto smiled and said: "What you should do now is actually to concentrate on improving your own strength, after all, you are only 19 years old, and you still have a long time to go." ”

Qin Miao, whose face was full of deferential listening, nodded slightly after hearing Toto's words.

"I know, and I've been working hard to improve my strength."

At this point, the conversation started smoothly, and then Toto said, "One more thing, it's about Hamilton. ”

Qin Miao nodded in listening, not showing superfluous emotions and no intention of speaking.

Toto paused for a moment before saying: "This season is very important for the team, although the Mercedes team has been successful in recent years, but in every era there will always be one or two teams that can temporarily dominate the paddock, because there are always in every era, so it is not uncommon for a strong team to appear, and it can even be said that it is normal for a strong team to appear."

So if we want to leave our mark on the history of F1, we need to break some records that sound very difficult, or accomplish something that has never been done before.

And in the process, the fewer accidents the better. (End of chapter)
