Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The demonstrators at the Pentagon quickly dispersed, and the Department of Defense was their financial backer. Everyone wants to give Casper Weinberg some respect, especially at this moment.

No one wants to go to the parade no matter what, because life forces us to do so. At this time, the money has been obtained, and the employer has agreed to let them leave, so why not!

Two companies, General Motors and Ford, are reluctant. But we also know that demonstrations cannot bring much trouble to the Heiyun Group, so it is better to wait for the next instructions from the Ministry of National Defense.

More than 20 companies participated in the bidding this time, all from the United States. However, the first request of the Ministry of National Defense caught many companies off guard and even made them a little angry, because nothing like this had ever happened before.

Ian Wright told representatives of more than 20 automobile companies: "All bidding companies must be headquartered in the United States. Parent companies cannot be registered in tax haven islands such as the Cayman Islands, Virgin Islands, and Bermuda."

"Not only that, other branches cannot be registered in the above locations. In other words, the automobile company must not have any connection with the tax haven island, otherwise it will not be able to participate in this bidding."

This is a blockbuster, and it has hit many car companies. At the same time, I felt a grudge against Bao Zixuan. If this kid hadn't talked nonsense at the airport, how could the Ministry of National Defense have issued such a policy.

Many large companies in the United States will register one or several companies in places such as the Virgin Islands for the purpose of reasonably avoiding taxes. If the Ministry of National Defense does this, isn't it going to cut off people and money?

In fact, this is not the scariest thing. Many companies do not need to deal with the government or the military. This hole cannot be opened. If all future biddings are done in this way, how can anyone survive?

Hearing the news, General Motors' Mike Donald was very troubled. General Motors has two branches registered in the Cayman Islands, but the parent company does not dare to transfer out. After all, when General Motors was established, these islands were still in a semi-primitive society.

Judging from the situation, if the two companies are not written off, it will be difficult to obtain orders from the Ministry of Defense. He still clearly remembered General Ian Wright's phone call with him last night, and he had made the matter very clear.

This time the president is involved, and the Department of Defense is just following orders. It's time to take a stand, otherwise the military vehicle order may really make wedding dresses for others.

Before Mac Donald could speak, a car company representative said: "General Ian Wright, why were there no regulations on this before? What should we companies do now? It was registered in the Cayman Islands more than ten years ago. During the Vietnam War, the company also provided high-quality vehicles to the military."

"National policies cannot be changed overnight, otherwise how can we convince the public."

Seeing that someone has already made a splash, everyone is waiting for news. Let’s see what the Ministry of National Defense’s reaction is. Is it just that the thunder is louder than the raindrops, just to scare timid enterprises?

Ian Wright smiled and said: "Mr. Wharton, you can leave. That means your company is out. I think what I said is clear enough."

It is very rude to ask people to leave directly. Ian Wright is a good-tempered person. How he could be so unreasonable is really incomprehensible.

Seeing that Walton wanted to argue after being expelled, Ian Wright said directly: "For military purchase orders, the products must not only have the best performance, but the company must also make a significant contribution to the country. "

"At least I doubt how good a company that thinks about tax evasion and evasion can make its products. Compared with other countries in the world, taxes in the United States are not high. But many people still want to take advantage. This kind of thinking is unacceptable.”

"Although we are soldiers and don't want to care about economic matters. But defense expenditures need tax revenue. You haven't paid taxes, but you still have the nerve to come and participate in the bidding meeting."

"At least you can't pass it at the Department of Defense, even if you report it to the President. The United States and the Soviet Union need to compete on all fronts, and defense spending requires a lot of money. You are all elites of the United States. You must not trust the country. Hind legs.”

Hearing Ian Wright speak so straightforwardly, everyone present felt that he meant it this time. Unexpectedly, it was not the tax department that took action first, but military procurement.

In fact, this is normal, and it is impossible to beat all companies to death with one stick. If all businesses in the United States were targeted at once, one bad move would have serious consequences. Being able to go to the Virgin Islands and other places to register a business is not an easy task. Even as the president of the United States, he would not dare to offend people to death at once.

Every presidential election requires huge financial support. Reagan still wants to make a difference and will definitely seek re-election. For these super rich people, not much can be done yet.

Fortunately, Reagan was an actor and Hollywood was very supportive. Otherwise, even the military might not dare to make such aggressive purchases. After all, this represents a political signal.

It's a sign that the White House wants to get some businesses to change their attitudes, at least on taxes.

MacDonald stood up and said: "Gentlemen, General Ian Wright is right. There are too many companies in the United States registered in the Virgin Islands and other places; everyone is smart, and they all know why without me having to say more. .”

"But our main market is in the United States, and we are all Americans. It is impossible not to contribute to the country at all and have the country pay for you unconditionally."

"General Motors also had a registered company in the Cayman Islands before. This is a shame for the company and a shame for all GM employees. We must remember this day because General Motors will cancel two offshore companies."

"General Motors will never compromise the overall national tax revenue for a small profit."

MacDonald's statement made other business representatives aware. This kid must have received the news in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to speak so grandly. It seems that General Motors is bound to win orders for military vehicles, otherwise MacDonald would never dare to make such a statement. If he doesn't get the order, the board of directors will definitely not let him go. It can be said that he will be successful if he doesn't succeed.

Henry Ford II said with a smile: "Ford Motors has always been committed to the development of the United States and has not yet registered a company in the Cayman Islands and other places."

"So there is no problem as General Ian Wright said. The state provides protection for companies, and it is normal for us to pay taxes to the state. Ford has never thought about tax avoidance since the day it was founded."

Ford considers itself an American automobile aristocrat and has never registered any company on a tax haven island. That's why Ford II dared to make such a statement. His words made everyone present both hate and admire him.

What I hate is that this old guy is a fed man and doesn’t know that a hungry man is hungry. Ford has a long history and a rich family background; to put it bluntly, he is rich. Other companies are not that profitable, so who doesn’t want to save taxes? Now Henry Ford II actually said this, isn't this embarrassing to everyone!

Admiration is the feeling that Ford is worthy of being a symbol of American cars and can indeed play a leading role. Reasonable tax avoidance is not used. Ford is indeed a responsible company.

Ian Wright didn't expect the Ford family to be so powerful. It seemed that he had really underestimated them before. So he said: "Ford Motors is indeed proud of the American automobile industry. Ford Motors directly entered the second round of bidding."

"As for other companies, if they have no relationship or involvement with tax haven islands, they can submit information to the Ministry of National Defense and enter the second round of bidding."

"But I have to make it clear to you first. If there is any involvement, insisting that there is no such thing. That means that the US military is not taken into account. Not only will it be directly disqualified from bidding, but it will also be blacklisted by the Ministry of Defense and will not be able to participate in the future. to bidding for defense orders.”

"If there are still companies registered in the Cayman Islands and other places, we hope to complete the process within three days. The Ministry of National Defense will launch the second round of bidding in three days. Don't even be qualified to enter by then."

Although three days is a short period of time, for these large enterprises. It is absolutely enough to cancel the company in the Cayman Islands, as long as the management expenses are paid, as for other tax haven islands, they will not care at all.

Everyone at the scene knew that if you want to accept orders from the Ministry of Defense, you must do what General Ian Wright said. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to the Ministry of National Defense in the future, because they will never give you a chance.

Everyone must face the choice of whether it is worthwhile to deregister the company in the Cayman Islands. If we do not get orders from the Ministry of Defense, we will be very passive in the future. But fortunately, no one was stupid enough to really want to deceive the military. After all, they couldn't afford this crime.

Moreover, the military is followed by the CIA, and few people can deceive the world's most famous intelligence organization.
