reborn star rich man
Chapter 219 Interview with Time Magazine 2
Helen had also seen this report in the reports collected by reporters from the Beijing station of Time Magazine, but she didn't take it seriously. When Wu Yue confirmed it again, she still said in disbelief: "Are you serious?"
Wu Yue nodded and said, "Of course."
Helen couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are so caring. May I ask what makes you so passionate about charity?"
"The thing that has had the greatest influence on me is Chinese studies."
"Chinese studies? Do you mean the traditional Chinese culture taught by the Confucius Institute?"
Wu Yue did not expect this vast ocean. Ma knew quite a lot and nodded: "Yes, Confucius once described a society of great harmony. The journey of the great road means that the world is for the public, select the talented and capable, keep faith and cultivate harmony. Old friends are not alone.
Kiss one's own relatives, not only one's own son, but also one's own son. Let the old age have a happy ending and the strong man can be useful.
, the young have grown up, the widowed, the lonely, the disabled, and the sick are all supported. The men share, and the women return. Goods, it is disgusting to abandon them on the ground, there is no need to hide them; power, it is disgusting not to come from the body, there is no need to do it.
"Ji. This is why we seek to be closed but not prosper, and we do not commit theft and chaos. Therefore we are not closed to outsiders. This is called Great Harmony."
This is a passage in the Book of Rites that everyone has learned, but almost all of it has been forgotten after the exam.
Meng Tong and Xu Nan were a little impressed when they saw Wu Yue say this fluently, which they couldn't do.
Helen patiently listened to Wu Yue's words, her mind was already full of questions. When she saw Wu Yue's words, she immediately said: "Can you tell me what this sentence means?"
Wu Yue smiled and explained: "Let me briefly explain the meaning of the first half. When the Great Dao is implemented, the world is shared by people. People with high moral character and talents are selected. Everyone pays attention to integrity, so that the society
Harmony. Therefore, we not only serve our own
Parents not only raise their children, so that the elderly can enjoy their old age in peace, so that the middle-aged people can contribute to the society, so that the children can grow up healthily, so that the old, weak, sick and disabled have people to support them. This is the ideal society described by Confucius. He is also the reformer of our country in the past dynasties.
The direction of struggle.”
Helen understood this time and said puzzledly: "According to what you said, your traditional culture is so democratic and humanitarian. Please forgive me for bluntly saying why there is no democracy in China. The rich in China do charity.
There are very few?"
Wu Yue shook his head and said: "What you said is unfair. Western democracy also has flaws. In my opinion, your democracy is nothing more than a democracy controlled by conglomerates. The extent of our democracy is
Although it is not high, we are constantly working towards true democracy. As for the fact that Chinese rich people do relatively few charities, I agree. I think the reason for this phenomenon is related to the lack of our country's traditional culture.
"
"Another thinker, Mencius, once proposed that if you are poor, you can be good for yourself, and if you are prosperous, you should be good for the world. That is to say, when you are unsuccessful, you should improve your moral cultivation, and when you are successful, you should work hard to make everyone in the world better. He also
Put forward a view of society where people make friends when they go in and out, help each other when they are sick, and support each other when sick. This means that people will live in harmony. In other words, everyone should get along well with each other and help each other when encountering difficulties. In this way, everyone
Only in this way can we live in harmony. This kind of value has lasted for more than two thousand years in our country. Many of our ancient country squires, who are now called rich, would build bridges and build roads in their hometowns. If they encountered famine, they would provide food to help the people.
.Every dynasty has many philanthropists, and there are also many poems about philanthropy. My favorite poem is: With tens of thousands of mansions, the poor people in the world will be happy."
When he came to the last verse, Wu Yue was also filled with heroic spirit, causing Meng Tong next to him to have eyes full of love.
This is manliness!
Xu Nan was also greatly moved when he saw Wu Yue swallowing the mountains and rivers with anger.
Although Helen didn't understand this line of poetry, she still felt the amazing heroic spirit from Wu Yue's words. She couldn't help but ask: "Can you explain to me the meaning of the last line of the poem?"
Wu Yue said to the Chinese young man who had been taking notes seriously: "Can you help me answer Helen's question?"
Chen Zhiping nodded and said: "Literally, I hope to get tens of millions of spacious and bright houses, which can shelter all the poor in the world and make them smile happily. This poem expresses Mr. Wu's ideal and wants everyone to be happy.
life.”
Hearing Chen Zhiping's explanation, Helen's eyes lit up again, she looked at Wu Yue fiercely and said: "You are so great, your thoughts are fascinating."
Hearing Helen's "ciluo" naked expression of love, Wu Yue felt a little unnatural and said with a smile: "This is just an ideal, just like the Datong society described by ancient Chinese thinkers. We are just working hard in that direction, but it is possible
It can’t be achieved in a lifetime.”
"Then you are great too."
"Cough cough cough"
Photojournalist Jim saw his colleague falling into infatuation and coughed twice to remind her that it was working time.
Helen also reacted, with a hint of red on her snow-white face, and said: "According to the information I collected, you established the Wuyue Charity Fund, and also planned to invest in a hospital to help people who are infertile due to illness have children, and also to provide medical services to your hometown.
Your children can go to school for free for life. How much money have you invested in charity now?"
Wu Yue shook his head and said: "I haven't calculated it either. We can do it now. I have injected a total of 1.3 billion into the Wu Yue Charity Fund. The hospital has initially decided to donate 1 billion, and the hometown student aid is also 1 billion. Yanran Angel Charity Dinner
Donated 100 million. That’s about it, 3.4 billion, almost 500 million US dollars.”
Helen looked at Wu Yue with admiration and said: "Your net worth is two billion US dollars, which means you have donated 25% of your net worth?"
Wu Yue nodded and said: "Absolutely, but after I pay the tax, my net worth will not be two billion US dollars."
Helen asked: "How much tax do you have to pay?"
"According to our country's system, income from the capital market should be taxed at 20%."
Helen said: "Then you should pay 400 million US dollars in taxes, isn't it tax-free for charity?"
In the past two days, Zhou Yue and others have transferred money to him one after another. He asked his lawyer to check how much tax he should pay, and he learned more about it.
"Individual donations are deductible within 30% of the tax payable, which means that the US$500 million I donated does not need to be taxed. I have donated US$550 million before. Adding in the existing assets, the amount
The total tax amount should be more than 2.7 billion US dollars.
Even if US$500 million is deducted, the tax that should be paid is more than US$400 million, and the US$500 million donated has not yet been received. I am afraid there will be some trouble in tax deduction, so I will not deduct it and pay more than US$500 million.
Just pay the tax in U.S. dollars. After paying the tax, my worth will shrink again, haha!"
Helen saw Wu Yueyun talking about astronomical figures calmly and said: "In your eyes, money seems to be just a set of numbers. I have never heard of such an open-minded person as you. You can pay 100 million less."
U.S. dollar tax, why give up your rights if it’s too troublesome? You can hire a lawyer to help you handle this matter for tens of thousands of dollars, right?”
Of course Wu Yue also wants to pay $100 million less in taxes and leave it to officials to squander it. It is better to put it into his fund for charity. However, the lawyer said that although the charitable tax deduction has a legal basis, there will be many problems in its implementation, especially for Wu Yue.
Basically, the money donated by Wu Yue has not been received, and the student aid plan and the hospital have not been implemented. It is difficult for the tax department to deduct this part of the tax. The most likely deduction is the part of the money invested in Wu Yue Charity Fund, and it is easy to be deducted.
People suspect that they do charity because of tax avoidance.
Wu Yue also said this at the beginning, and it was not easy for him to go back on his word, so he had to give up the right to pay less tax. Fortunately, his household registration has been transferred back to Gushi, and his personal tax is also paid to the local tax bureau. Most of them
Part of it will stay in the ancient city's finances and build the hometown.
Wu Yue couldn't explain why he gave up paying less tax. He smiled and said: "In my eyes, money is really just a set of numbers. It is also for this reason that I can make the most rational choice in the capital market without being fooled."
Money clouds judgment.”
Helen nodded and said: "This is also an important factor in your success, right?"
"Well, if you can't treat it as a set of numbers, as your money gets more and more, you will be hesitant and miss opportunities when you invest, or it will affect your judgment and make you make wrong decisions.
"
"So do you think the world economy is starting to recover now?"
Wu Yue nodded and said: "As you said in the annual figure selection that just concluded some time ago, the U.S. economy is recovering, stimulated by the Federal Reserve's loose policies, but the European debt crisis will affect the pace of global economic recovery."
"You mean the European debt crisis will spread?"
"Yes, the current debt crisis in Greece is just the beginning of the European debt crisis. Countries such as Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and Spain also have serious debt problems."
"So do you think the euro will collapse?"
Wu Yue shook his head and said: "Several major European countries have worked hard for many years to form the Eurozone. They will definitely try their best to rescue countries in crisis, but they cannot unlimitedly pay for those lazy countries, so they may eventually
If a country exits the euro area and gets out of trouble, the euro will not collapse, but exchange rate fluctuations are inevitable. Maybe after leaving behind these baggage, the euro will be healthier."
"Then what do you think of China's economy?"
Wu Yue smiled and said: "In 2007, you once said that this century was the Chinese century. The title of the cover was China, the beginning of a new dynasty. You just described the global expansion of Chinese trade and China's growing influence.
Having come to that conclusion, in my opinion, China's economy has a fatal flaw, and China's trade is just some elementary
Products, and the real economic pillar of China is real estate. Domestic housing prices are already outrageous. Especially after the financial crisis, the investment of four trillion yuan has made the real estate industry full of bubbles. It is expected that many ghost towns will appear across the country next year. A big country is
It is impossible to rely on the real estate industry to rise. Japan in the 1980s is an example."
