Joanna looked at him: "You really decided to do this?"
"Of course, do you support it?" An Feng looked at her. In addition to this money, if GP International wants to conduct offshore trade in the future, money will also be a problem.
Joanna nodded: "Of course I support you, but be careful, we are not short of money."
"I know, dear." An Feng smiled reassuringly, "But since there is a way to avoid it, why pay so much tax for nothing?"
Joanna did not dissuade him. Because of tax avoidance, it is common for the rich, especially the top rich.
Her vision is higher than that of ordinary women. They may think that it is dangerous to work with the country and worry about it, but she knows that this is just a trick played by the rich, and it is in a gray area. If you want to investigate, first of all The law is not sound, it is difficult to determine.
The largest shareholder of Tailan and the transfer contract of American Legg Mason and Hexcel Investment were signed in the afternoon.
I don't know when Legg Mason joined Hearst Investment, but it has nothing to do with An Feng, the main thing is that his money is in place.
Respect the wishes of the parties involved. No photography or video recording is allowed on site. Only a group of entrepreneurs and representatives of all parties watched the signing ceremony. On the long table, An Feng shook hands with the CEO of Legg Mason and the representative of Hexcel. In front of him was a thick stack of documents, which required many signatures.
In the official contract, the total amount of the transfer is 9 billion US dollars, which will be paid in five years. As for the other contract, it is clear how to pay the remaining 5.5 billion. The latter one... depends on which country you put it in, because it is in an offshore account. Both parties are obliged to keep it secret, otherwise it will be troublesome for both parties.
Matthew Sinclair served as a notary. His team will be responsible for managing future remittances, and if there are any objections or disputes, he is responsible for coordinating. This also guarantees to a certain extent that the other party will not renege on the debt - unless it is bankrupt, the contract payment must be enough for five years.
At the reminder of lawyer Franklin Miller, five contracts were signed in a flash, with nearly a hundred names. The process lasted for several minutes. Afterwards, the two parties exchanged documents and shook hands with smiles. Then someone sent champagne and goblets. Everyone raised their glasses, clinked glasses and congratulated each other. The scene was harmonious.
After the contract was signed and the form was completed, everyone smiled and said goodbye. At the invitation of Matthew, An Feng and Joanna went with them to a private club in Los Angeles with the theme of red wine and cigars. Came to a separate area, served red wine and snacks, and continued to talk about things.
Actually, there is nothing to say, the main thing is to celebrate each other, and listen to Matthew to say some precautions, pay attention to the saved materials, etc. Since we were our own people, the atmosphere was very relaxed, so we opened a bottle of expensive red wine and had our own considerations. An Feng has also developed a tongue for wine tasting, and his comments are also decent.
Matthew put down his glass and said: "The money will arrive within a week. How you spend the money in the account depends on you. As for the other money, you need to pay attention. It is not recommended to transfer large amounts to the US account. If you really want to do this , I will recommend you a money laundering company with a very low fee of 30%."
Thirty percent is not low, but at least it is lower than taxes. An Feng thanked him: "Thank you for your reminder, but I have plans to use the other money."
Matthew continued: "In addition, the Hearst Group's 1 billion, they paid me directly, don't get me wrong, the 700 million that belongs to you will be deducted from my share in the fifth year, I believe that the 200 million in your account One billion is already under tax pressure, and if there is another 700 million, the tax bureau will be very happy this year."
An Feng was worrying about having no place to avoid taxes, so of course he agreed with Matthew: "That's exactly what I mean."
Matthew smiled: "In addition, in the five-year period, of the 15% annual sales share, I will take 1%, and the remaining 14% will be yours."
An Feng wondered: "Seventy-three points, isn't it 4.5%?"
Matthew smiled and said: "Haha, you are already generous enough, and this time I caused you some small troubles halfway, so it is my apology."
"Whatever you want." An Feng shrugged.
"Come on! Congratulations on our successful cooperation!" Matthew raised his glass.
The ladies also raised their glasses gracefully.
Matthew talked about other topics: "GP Energy's factory has started construction and signed a contract with Tesla to provide super batteries for their electric vehicles next year. Then some European car manufacturers have also sent orders. The next step is to expand into mobile devices."
"Good progress." An Feng said.
Matthew nodded: "So I have to pay attention to you. If something happens, the further research and development of the battery will be frustrated, and the chip will be finished. That will be a big loss. Please remember my kind reminder. Once something happens, like As for the last time, let me know immediately, and I will help you deal with it."
"Thank you." An Feng thanked, "I will let the expert team speed up the matter of the research center. Please convey my sincere greetings to Mrs. Sinclair."
"I thank you for her," Matthew said.
An Feng didn't go home immediately, he stayed in Los Angeles for a few days.
Because of money and passports. The money issue is naturally a gray part. An Feng called John and Hardy who participated in the process. They are familiar with financial aspects and can provide a lot of reference. At this time, the employer must be suspicious. If he doubts everything, he will not be able to continue playing.
Hardy, who is most familiar with taxation, said: "I know St. Kitts and Nevis. It is a well-known tax haven. Its land is located in Central America, more than 2,000 kilometers away from Florida. It is mainly black people. The country is small. The annual GDP You didn't earn as much as you did, but you took a lot of money from immigrant investors."
An Feng said: "What do you think about tax avoidance through immigration?"
Hardy said: "It's very good, because you have an offshore company account, and if you have a citizenship of a tax haven country, you can avoid income tax and personal tax. As far as I know, some rich people also use similar methods to avoid taxes. , but your starting point is better."
"How to say?" An Feng asked.
Hardy smiled slightly: "You are a Chinese citizen, there are many Chinese people, and they don't value the citizens who have canceled their nationality, but the United States is different. Canceling their nationality needs to pay a high price. At least for the rich, the Federal Tax Service will take advantage of it. Collect them a layer of tax in the last time."
An Feng was happy: "It's really unlucky to be born and bred in the United States."
John reminded: "I seem to remember that St. Kitts and Nevis recognizes dual citizenship, and you can maintain your original nationality and new nationality."
An Feng shook his head: "China does not recognize dual citizenship. When you become a new citizen, you will cancel your original nationality, which is different from the United States."
"Oh, that's my memory." John said.
We talked about some important points. In general, if An Feng wants to use the gray money with peace of mind, the best way is to immigrate to St. Kitts and Nevis, and use the Swiss bank account to spend globally. Anyway, the US dollar is used in the world, and the Swiss The confidentiality of customers is very high. What? UBS didn't keep it secret?
Don't be too optimistic, because there are too many tricks in it. The major Swiss banks are hurrying to launder money for their customers, but what does the Swiss government say? They only promised to disclose the accounts related to tax evasion. As for the embezzlement of stolen money or other drug trafficking, the arms type are still protected.
In addition, it is aimed at American citizens, green card holders or American companies. GP International under Anfeng is registered in BVI, a typical foreign company, and Anfeng does not handle private accounts—it will be investigated. But as the boss of the company, he has every right to use the company account.
The offshore company is not located in the United States, and the legal person of the company is a foreign nationality. What if the Americans check?
The only thing I worry about now is my identity in China. Americans can't check it. However, China's tax regulations also have provisions for paying taxes on overseas income.
Things are now very clear. We only need to ask the professional service of American Express to find an intermediary to help him quickly handle immigration. The money can be given more, but the speed must be fast. If he is from a tax haven country, personal tax is meaningless, and the local government doesn't care about such things.
In addition, An Feng took out the new contract proposed by Franklin, handed it to John and Hardy, and said, "This is a new contract, take a look."
They opened the contract, which has not changed much from before, but the salary standard has increased by five times.
If you want to win people's hearts, you have to give a little benefit, and at the same time pay attention to the sweet dates and sticks—the big stick is already there, and the relationship with the Sinclair family is that. If you dare to threaten them, some strange people will shoot your car windows, kill your pets, or simply target people.
Giving some benefits, An Feng almost booked their future work. In this regard, Hardy, who used to serve specialized clients, is obviously not surprised at all. John has been exposed to so many things, and he would not be foolish enough to not want a high salary of half a million dollars, and instead take the risk of being hit by a car.
So it is inevitable for everyone to cooperate happily. They don't even need to provide a big stick, they will be happy to serve the dollar—who in this world can't live with money?
Then An Feng called Angela and asked him to prepare the most professional immigration team for himself, to help him handle immigration tax havens with full authority, and strive to shorten the time. The other party said that the speed can be very fast, but the price will be doubled or tripled appropriately, An Feng scoffed, ten times is no problem.
What he lacks most now is money, and the trouble that few people in the world can encounter has come to him—how to spend money within the specified time.
This painful remark is the same as what An Feng heard from an oil rich man in the Middle East complaining: "I can't always remember how many zeros are behind the account".
He once commented: If you can't use it, just burn it.
Now it might really be burned! There are more than four months until the end of December. If you want to pay less tax, the only way is to spend all the money. Although it is a bit self-defeating, it is better to pay the tax bureau for nothing than to spend it on yourself. Americans She's not related to him, so why bother!
The plan must be bold. If this year's money is spent, next year there will still be more than 2 billion in the account, and it will last for four years. Afterwards... the black-bellied Anfeng ghost had a lot of ideas, and he developed agricultural fertilizers that were a little more powerful than now, and then sold them to the giants or their competitors.
Maybe I can continue to receive five years of salary again!
This kind of person is commonly known as "two or five boys". If they are discovered, they may be beaten to death, but An Feng promises that he will not encounter this scene, because five years is enough to change many things, including turning himself into a Huge monsters are not the type that anyone can bully wantonly.
"Hahaha!" An Feng laughed without warning while eating.
Joanna also smiled: "You're smirking again."
An Feng put away his smile and asked, "Joanna, do you like big diamonds?"
"I like it." Joanna said bluntly.
An Feng said: "I'll give you a top-notch blue diamond. How about a fifty-carat diamond as jewelry? It must be beautiful to wear around your neck!"
Joanna pouted: "You lied to me, where can I find such a big blue diamond?"
"Haha, when did I lie to you?" An Feng picked up his mobile phone and called Roger: "Hey, Roger, can I pay back the loan in advance? Don't worry, it won't be difficult for you. I will pay off the principal and interest for three years in one lump sum, ninety-five million, right? Not a penny."
Joanna still doesn't know what the repayment has to do with the big diamond.
An Feng said mysteriously: "The answer to the mystery will be revealed soon."
