Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

On Tuesday morning, Zhou Ruoyun came to pick him up, and together they went to PricewaterhouseCoopers, which is said to be one of the Big Four accounting firms.

Wang Zheng has some impressions of this organization. Probably after 2020, the news of Evergrande's bankruptcy was very sensational, and it was PricewaterhouseCoopers who made false accounts for Evergrande.

Later, some media came out and revealed that PricewaterhouseCoopers is providing services to 85% of the top 100 domestic companies, including Lianxiang. Later, I heard that the possibility of Lianxiang being hit by thunder is not small.

In 2004, Lianxiang paid a consulting fee of 100 million to PricewaterhouseCoopers!

Unexpectedly, the consulting services Wang Zheng wanted also came from this company.

This consultation is not cheap, two hours and 100,000 yuan.

Walking into PwC's Magic City office, Wang Zheng and Zhou Ruoyun were invited to an office and served hot tea.

"Please wait a moment, Lawyer Lin is on the way and will be there soon."

Zhou Ruoyun made an appointment with a lawyer named Lin Kangcheng, who is said to be at the senior manager level.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the office door was pushed open. Looking at the person coming, Wang Zheng was startled: "Aunt Lan?"

Isn't this Lanxi? Why is it such a coincidence?

Go to Shengtang Machinery to meet Ye Zi’s father, and come to PricewaterhouseCoopers to meet Ye Zi’s mother?

Could this be the legendary fate?

Lan Xi was obviously stunned: "Wang Zheng? Is this the lawyer Lin you made an appointment with?"

Wang Zheng nodded, and Lan Xi looked at the document in his hand, which showed that Wang Zheng wanted to consult about offshore companies.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Lawyer Lin had a car accident on the road. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide you with consulting services."

Then he said with a smile: "Xiao Zheng, you go back first and come home for dinner in the evening."

Wang Zheng naturally followed the good example and stood up and said, "Goodbye, Aunt Lan. I'll go back and prepare the food first."

Wang Zheng still didn't react when he said goodbye to this magical institution. What a coincidence, right?

Zhou Ruoyun also thought it was a coincidence, and said while driving: "I just noticed that Aunt Lan's nameplate says partner, partner level. Consulting services at this level are more expensive, about 100,000 an hour."

Ye Zi's family are not ordinary people.

At 5:30 in the evening, Wang Zheng knocked on the door of Ye's house carrying two bags.

Not long after Lan Xi and Ye Bowen arrived home, Wang Zheng said hello, walked into the kitchen, took out the washed and cut vegetables from the lunch box, and helped to cook.

After dinner, Ye Bowen smoked a cigar as usual, and Wang Zheng watched the news with him.

After Lan Xi finished washing, she took off her apron and came over to sit next to Ye Bowen. She smiled and said, "Xiao Zheng, why did you think of going to Puhua to consult on offshore companies? In order to reasonably avoid taxes?"

Ye Bowen glanced at him, a little seriously: "Tax avoidance?"

This is a big problem. Wang Zheng quickly explained: "It's not domestic tax avoidance. The country is developing rapidly, and Huo Yun is also a beneficiary. Moreover, the city has given many preferential policies, and Huo Yun will not do anything about taxation. I

What I want to consult is about doing business abroad.”

Ye Bowen nodded and said nothing.

Lan Xi said: "I am a senior partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers Asia Pacific. If you have any questions in this regard in the future, just ask me directly."

"Then trouble Aunt Lan." Wang Zheng was not polite, knowing that Lan Xi was saving money for him, so he asked: "Aunt Lan, I plan to do some business in the American League and the European Union.

But I heard that people from Daxia would be greatly restricted when operating in the United States, and there were relevant regulations when funds were returned to China, so I thought of seeking consulting services."

Lan Xi nodded and immediately replied: "There are actually many precedents in this regard. Most of them use offshore company agreements to control physical enterprises, which is a VIE structure."

"The specific method is that you first register a sole proprietorship in the Virgin Islands, and if there are partners, register a sole proprietorship for them as well."

"The companies of these partners will jointly form a company."

"This company will register another company in the Cayman Islands."

"This Cayman company will register another company in Ireland."

"Then a complete set of agreements will be used to achieve control of the Midland entity operating company."

Wang Zheng listened very carefully, but he was a little dizzy.

What Lan Xi told Wang Zheng was actually very simple. In this way, Wang Zheng, the actual controller, could be completely hidden behind the scenes, because the information protection in the Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands is very strict, making it difficult to find out.

At the same time, you can also reasonably avoid taxes in Midland and withhold profits overseas.

Seeing Wang Zheng nodding his head in confusion, Lan Xi asked again: "What business are you going to do at Midland? Is it the Internet?"

"Yes. Mainly Internet business and electronic products."

Wang Zheng expressed his true thoughts to the two elders of Ye Zi: "China is still relatively weak in basic electronic industries such as chip manufacturing. I want to go to Midland to make some money and see if I can get some."

Embargoed equipment, come back and invest in the semiconductor field."

Ye Bowen looked a little sideways, he really didn't expect Wang Zheng to have this idea.

Lan Xi smiled and said: "Xiao Zheng, you have great ambitions, Aunt Lan supports you, come on. If you are short of funds, tell your Uncle Ye and ask him to find funds for you."

This may be the confidence.

Wang Zheng thanked him and said: "It's not necessary for the time being. We have raised more than 40 million US dollars before, and the company's other business capabilities are also quite strong."

Ye Bowen glanced at him, put down his cigar and said: "If you want to get those embargoed equipment, you have to avoid loopholes at the root.

Domestic funds in the past were all traceable, and only by using overseas identities and funds to start operations can there be any possibility of success."

Listening to Ye Bowen's teachings, Wang Zheng nodded heavily, "I know Uncle Ye, I will find a way to solve this matter."

Ye Bowen raised his eyes, picked up the cigar and took a puff. After the smoke dissipated, he said: "You have an idea. Go back and think about what you are going to do. Make a plan for me first."

Um... OK, Wang Zheng really didn't think of a better way.

After chatting with Lan Xi for a while and asking some business questions, Wang Zheng said goodbye and returned to No. 49.

After seeing off Wang Zheng, Lan Xi sat next to Ye Bowen and said with emotion: "I didn't expect Xiao Zheng to think very long-term. What's rare is that Huo Yun did surprisingly well and was very upright. Do you think he can succeed if he goes to the American League?"

?"

"Hard to say."

Lan Xi nodded and sighed: "The main reason is that I am young and don't know much about business management."

"As long as you have this kind of heart, you will be good."

Speaking of people, Lan Xi became interested: "Do you think he and Ye Zi can make it?"

"Let's take a look." Ye Bowen rubbed his eyebrows, feeling quite troubled by this question: "What do you think?"

Lan Xi said firmly: "Let Ye Zi choose. Her life should be controlled by herself."

Ye Bowen didn't answer any more, closed his eyes and enjoyed the aroma of the cigar.
