Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Things must be faced, and it is not enough to put them off all the time. Spielberg is a great director, and the artist has already begun to be single, which is enough to show that the other party will not give up until he achieves his goal. The more serious this kind of person is, the more troublesome he may be than a businessman.

But Roy Disney Jr. was very unwilling to give up his shares in the Disney Company like this. I didn’t want to lose my shares before, but I paid a lot of inheritance tax. In addition, Disney's performance has not been very good in the past decade or so, and its dividends have been pitifully small. However, the living expenses of a large family are not small, and with the repayment of loans, life is not very satisfactory.

This is why little Roy wants to get the CEO position, not only to prove his ability, but also to get a good salary. On the surface, wealthy American families are very prosperous, but when the founder dies, it often means the beginning of decline.

After all, inheritance tax is a topic that cannot be avoided, and no one can escape it!

The U.S. estate tax refers to a tax levied by the U.S. federal government and some state governments on the estate of deceased persons. According to different levels of levy, it is divided into federal estate tax and state estate tax. The U.S. federal estate tax adopts a gross estate tax system. The total amount of the deceased's estate at the time of death is the object of taxation, the executor is the taxpayer, and the amount of the taxable estate is the basis for tax calculation.

The taxable estate amount is the "adjusted total estate amount" obtained by first deducting the deceased's liabilities, funeral and related expenses, and estate losses from the total amount of the estate, and then deducting the balance of the amount of deductions allowed by tax laws such as marriage, charity, and bequests. .

The federal estate tax implements a 21-level progressive tax rate, with the lowest level of tax rate being 8% and the highest level of tax rate being 50%. The tax amount is calculated in two steps: the first step is to calculate the amount of inheritance tax payable based on the taxable inheritance amount and the applicable tax rate; the second step is to deduct the unified credit amount and tax credits allowed by the tax law from the amount of inheritance tax payable After the amount, the amount of inheritance tax actually paid by the taxpayer is determined.

Only 10 states in the United States levy estate taxes; the calculation and collection methods of state estate taxes are basically similar to the federal estate tax, but the tax rate is lower than the federal estate tax and the amount of preferential exemptions is smaller. When federal estate taxes and state estate taxes are imposed at the same time, in order to avoid double taxation, the state estate tax credit is allowed to be deducted when calculating the actual amount of federal estate tax payable.

Roy Lao-Disney's assets must be paid according to the highest standards. In other words, half of the family property must be handed over to the tax bureau. Although it is possible to deduct part of the amount through the family’s so-called charitable foundation.

But the Disney family is not yet as powerful as the Morgan and Rockefeller families. In the United States, many people may not worry about the FBI; after all, there is no crime committed, and they can't do anything to you. But the Federal Tax Service is definitely a topic that cannot be avoided in life.

This is especially true for wealthy families.

When it comes to tax issues, no matter who pleads for mercy, it will be of no use. This is one of the reasons why Americans have not taken action against Bao Zixuan. Several companies of Heiyun Group pay taxes in full; otherwise, it would be impossible to become the largest taxpayer in the United States. And no offshore company has been registered in the Cayman Islands or other places. Apart from not being an American, I really can't find anything wrong with it.

Many things are simply impossible to escape and must be faced actively. Even if you can't do it, you have to bite the bullet. When Spielberg started chatting in a threatening tone, he knew there was no room for relaxation. The other party will definitely not give up until he achieves his goal, otherwise an artist would not be able to pull off such a face.

In fact, the reason why Spielberg said this has a lot to do with his previous encounters. Roy Disney Jr. relies on the fact that he is a member of the Disney family and the heir to the eight major Hollywood film companies. It can be said that he is very arrogant in the industry and has offended many people. It’s just that because I have offended so many people, sometimes I even forget it.

As the most talented director in Hollywood, he also suffers a lot. Capital has the final say here, and talent also needs a platform. Therefore, in terms of director’s remuneration and dividends. Hollywood directors and actors belong to the group of people squeezed by the eight major film companies. Fame itself has little to do with it.

Now that we have the opportunity to challenge them, and also make the Disney family lose their voice, we must not let it go. No matter if it's coercion or not. No matter the inducement! In short, destiny must be in your own hands.

Ian Disney Jr.: “I don’t know how you want to acquire my shares.”

It is better to listen to the other party's plan first, which can be regarded as an attitude in negotiation.

Spielberg: "11% stake, one-time transaction of $550 million."

Hearing this offer proved that the other party was still very sincere, at least not deliberately lowering the price. In fact, the initiative is now in their hands, and they already absolutely control the Disney Company. Even the Disney family has no choice if they want to use their wrong ideas.

But the thought of selling all the shares would be very disappointing to my father and family members.

Spielberg and others have done a great job, and the bank has already called him. It said that given that the current development prospects of Disney are not clear enough, the number of loans will not be too large.

In other words, bank financing channels have been closed. The main reason is that no one is stupid. They even took out loans for the Disney family when they knew that they had lost control of the company. That was an act that offended Spielberg and others, and even Bao Zixuan, the person behind it, would blame the bank that provided the loan.

For the sake of a family that is doomed to decline, he offends a group of upstarts; and behind these upstarts is a super predator. Everyone knows how to choose. If a bank wants to develop and gain benefits, it must form a wide range of good relationships.

Roy Disney Jr. thought for a moment and said: "Sell 6% of the shares for US$400 million."

Spielberg understood the old guy's desire to retain a board seat. But the price is up for debate and has exceeded expectations.

Spielberg: "7%, $400 million; while retaining a board seat; including this office, it will always belong to the Disney family."

This is because they don’t want the Disney family to appear in the list of major shareholders. Maybe it would be the same if it were me. If members of the Disney family still appear on the list of major shareholders, there will be endless possibilities in the future. The road is blocked now because we don't want to give it a chance.

Suddenly I thought, I now have so much money in my hands. If you want to make some moves in the stock market, you can naturally re-enter the list of major shareholders.

Little Roy Disney also has some acting skills. He pretended to be very reluctant and said: "It seems that I have no other choice. I will do as you say; I hope you will do what you say."

This was a warning to Spielberg, his board seat, and his office. Unexpectedly, at this time, he still cares about the so-called reputation of his family. These people are burdened by their families, making it difficult for them to display their talents.

But now that I have become a Hollywood super tycoon, will my children be like this in the future?

The two people quickly completed the handover procedures, which was a successful conclusion to the Disney acquisition.

Bao Zixuan, who was far away in Fucaira, also received a report from Yuan Tianfan. Paul Allen hopes to use his 4.99% stake in Disney to repay a $200 million loan.

If the deal goes through, Black Cloud Bank will become a Disney shareholder. And the ratio of 4.99 is very clever. There is no need to report to the public, but when Bao Zixuan wants to become a major shareholder of Disney, it can be easily achieved.

This is obviously the goodwill shown by the other party, and it also reassures myself. It seems that everyone is a smart person, so let’s give them this reassurance.

So Black Cloud Bank agreed to the deal, and now the Disney acquisition has come to an end.

With the success of the acquisition, it also brought a lot of doubts. At the same time, other super giants in Hollywood do not want anyone to challenge their authority. The relationship with the Disney family was not good before. It was just a confrontation between super tycoons. Directors and actors are now on an equal footing with them; although they cannot stop them, they must certainly create some trouble for them.

This is a behavior that challenges the order of Hollywood. If others rush to follow suit, who will listen to them in the future and how can business be done?

As a result, the news reported by major media outlets in recent days has been all about threats. It even involves Bao Zixuan. After all, the four people's funds were provided by the richest man Bao. That also means that they are all on the surface, and there must be someone behind the scenes controlling everything.

You don't need to think about it to know that it must be Bao Zixuan of the Heiyun Group. It is the same at any time, the person who pays must be the person who controls the right to speak. The United States, as a capital society, is even more so.
