American Fortune Life

"At 19:30 on the evening of April 30th, the thieves broke into the National Museum, first used a jammer to disable the monitoring, then took control of the monitoring room, killed a security guard, and went straight to the Asian Pavilion on the second floor. The location of the cultural relics is very clear. The glass of the display case was smashed with tools and the cultural relics were taken away. The whole process of committing the crime took less than half an hour...

The Adonis government is resorting to multiple ways to solve the case, including inviting the US FBI to participate in the investigation, and seeking help from the Interpol to prevent the flow of cultural relics out of Ainaba.

‘This is definitely not done by one person, and it must be an expert. It is estimated that at least 5 people can do it. . . '

The foot basin government and the National Museum offered high rewards, and the curator of the museum also accepted the reporter's interview and said emotionally and tremblingly: "The stolen cultural relics are all rare national treasures, especially the famous sword Mikazuki Zongjin, which is unparalleled in the world. Those who love antique cultural relics People, you must not collect it, you will be discovered sooner or later!"

"Haha, this curator is really cute, and you must not collect it..." After reading the news report, Andy closed the newspaper, shook his head and laughed, and complained. It's not flattering.

Three days have passed, but it is estimated that there are at least five people, returning the car to meet them, and changing cars halfway? Tsk tsk, if you check in this direction, can you find a hair and prevent the cultural relics from flowing out of the basin? Really can only hehe.

To be honest, seeing how 'smart' they were, Andy was relieved a lot.

"Generally stolen cultural relics will appear on the black market after many years. However, this kind of purchase behavior is also a highly dangerous game. Often the stolen party and the government will spare no effort to investigate. After a few years or more than ten years, Even decades." Hearing Andy's joke, Ivana said with a smile.

Andy nodded, shrugged and said, "Whatever it is, if you really have a chance to buy it, can you still turn a blind eye? No, so it doesn't make much sense to discuss this matter. I'll take a shower first, and we'll have breakfast later."

"Hmm." Ivana raised her arm and gestured, and Andy, who had already got up, stretched out his hand and carefully pulled her up.

At the breakfast table, while eating breakfast, Andy listened to the little assistant reading a briefing to him to learn about the daily situation of the company under his company, and Ivana on the side would also speak some of her own opinions from time to time.

"...How about this, about the Jeju Island casino hotel development project, you can inform Hank Cui, let him inform the partners, I invite them to visit Lanai Island, Hawaii." Andy stuck a strawberry with a dining fork , After finishing speaking, he put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Okay, boss." The little assistant took a pen and recorded Andy's decision on the folder.

"My dear, how are you going to deal with the tax policy adjustment made by the Aoguanhai government, which requires the taxation of the overseas income of major companies in Silicon Valley that can be exempted or deferred from taxation, and needs to be paid on time and normally like domestic income? Yes It’s not that I need to express your opinion, after all, this has a great impact on your industry.” Ivana handed the charcoal-grilled chicken that had been cut with a knife and fork to Andy, and frowned slightly. asked.

"I don't need to express my opinion in a hurry. After all, at present, Google, HP, Oracle or Apple do not comment on the measures to delay tax payment. Now, represented by Qualcomm and Cisco, they have expressed their opinions on this tax policy. Now is not the time to increase the price." Andy took the plate and said with a faint smile.

The adjustment of the traditional tax policy has triggered a wave of opposition in Silicon Valley. This is the first disagreement between the Silicon Valley community and the government since Ao Guanhai took office. It has to be said that this guy, Ao Guanhai, is constantly crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, first Wall Street, then Silicon Valley, offending to death again and again, running wildly on the road to death, he will not really think that he has the support of most of the people, Can you be re-elected smoothly?

The US corporate tax rate is 35%, much higher than other countries in the world. However, under the traditional taxation method,

American domestic enterprises have certain advantages, so that they can better compete with foreign-funded enterprises. Under the framework of the global market, the importance of overseas market income is increasing, which also has a positive effect on alleviating domestic employment pressure.

Therefore, in order to avoid the government's taxation on overseas companies, many large companies in the United States have reinvested funds in overseas markets by depositing funds into various private accounts or investing in foreign-funded enterprises. If you don't do this, take Google as an example, in 2008, Google will have to pay an additional US$1 billion in taxes to the government. For example, Hewlett-Packard, through overseas tax avoidance, successfully cut its effective tax rate by 16.9 percentage points in 2008 by paying a lower overseas tax rate.

This is a policy loophole that American companies want to take advantage of. However, it is true that traditional taxation methods encourage these companies to transfer their income to overseas markets, which greatly reduces the government's tax revenue. Especially in the context of the current economic crisis, the government's many bailout programs need financial support, and they need a lot of tax revenue to stimulate the economy. So the Aoguanhai government thought of using a piece of delicious cheese, which immediately caused a strong reaction.

Silicon Valley even used the phrase, "If measured by the magnitude of the earthquake, the sensational level of the news can be called level 20!" ’ words to show the seriousness of the matter, to express dissenting opinions, and thus to put pressure on Washington.

As for changing the traditional tax collection method, the Aoguanhai government did not even have too many relevant details. It was only mentioned in the preliminary budget document that the government decided to increase revenue by US$210 billion over the next 10 years and reform tax policies for overseas companies. Having encountered such great resistance and so many opposing voices, I have to say that the chair in the white house is really not that easy to sit on.

Andy, and even the major companies in Silicon Valley are very clear that even if the government adjusts the tax, compared with the high overseas profits of these companies, the part turned over is only a very small part. However, this opening must not be opened. After all, this is to use their NAI cheese and cut their flesh.

No way, it's not because Silicon Valley companies are domineering and unreasonable, but Aoguanhai is really a bit uncontested!

Compared with the Detroit auto industry giants, Aoguanhai has too much favor for Wall Street. Instead of effectively preventing the salary increase actions of Wall Street financial institutions, it is subject to Wall Street everywhere, and must frequently inject capital to ensure that it is "too big to fail" The behavior of the government has greatly reduced the effectiveness of the Austenitic plan, and will also greatly reduce the image of the government's ability to reform the economy in the eyes of the public.

"Honey, what Wall Street has done this time is indeed a little too much. If this continues, something will happen." Ivana detonated the "high salary gate" for the six large banks in the United States that paid more than 36 billion US dollars in bonuses to employees in the first quarter of this year. "It also expressed doubts and dissatisfaction.

Regarding this, Andy also shook his head helplessly. This high-tech door can be said to have caused many doubts and large-scale dissatisfaction.

Compared with the "still holding the pipa half-hidden" when the crisis deepened and heavily relied on the high salaries distributed during the government bailout period, this salary increase is burdened with the halo of "first-quarter profit", which seems to be much more "fair and aboveboard".

However, Andy knows better than anyone how the money came from. Looking at the first-quarter profit statements of the major financial conglomerates on Wall Street, most of the real profit reasons come from direct government assistance, revaluation of assets generated by guaranteed mortgages, and even government Tax rebates and other short-term factors related to government assistance, large-scale layoffs of employees, in order to ensure the salary benefits of some employees, etc.

At a critical moment when the actual profit is minimal, and it can even be said that they are actually still in the loss stage, Wall Street financial giants use the unsustainable "mixed profits" to distribute high salaries, which will undoubtedly pose a huge challenge to the recovery of the existing financial economy.

This is undoubtedly a ruthless trampling on the interests of public taxpayers. To put it bluntly, Wall Street is taking the money from the government bailout and putting it in its own pocket.

Damn, the food is really ugly, the greed of Wall Street can be said to be fully displayed at this moment!

"An accident?" The corners of Andy's mouth raised, showing a sneer, "Hehe, an accident is certain, but it's just a matter of time. The food is too ugly and arrogant! My profitable banks and financial institutions dare not issue money like this, they I really want to go to heaven!"
