As for Netflix’s parent company, a new round of reshuffle has begun.

With the recent surge in stock prices and strong institutions offering good prices, several major shareholders who were not optimistic about the company's prospects have already transferred their shares.

Four names, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone Group, Texas Pacific Group and Waterfall Investments, were quietly added to the list of the top ten shareholders of the parent company.

This is the stage when the concept of online TV is booming.

Being able to stand out and grab enough chips shows that these companies are strong.

Netflix Entertainment does not have any external financing plans yet. If you want to invest in it in advance, investing in Netflix's parent company is the simplest and most direct way.

There is no T+1 or single-day 10% price limit for U.S. stocks.

During the holiday trading days, the stock price of Netflix's parent company rose by a total of 54%, which is equivalent to a sudden increase in market value of US$800 million.

It is precisely because of this that Suri feels that for now, it is more reasonable to set a valuation of US$3 billion for Netflix Entertainment.

In early October, a total of only 250 million US dollars was invested, and in just two or three months, it was exchanged for a paper wealth worth 1.5 billion US dollars, which is considered a huge profit by anyone.

The myth of wealth creation on the Internet is so unreasonable.

It is worth mentioning that.

The "Waterfall Investment Company" newly added to the list of major shareholders is actually the family office of the world's richest man, Bill Gates.

In the past few years, Gates began to learn from others about financial management, constantly selling off Microsoft stocks and cashing out the money to inject into his family office.

In the name of charity, most of the assets were transferred to the couple's charitable trust fund, saving countless taxes and fees, and taking the opportunity to gain a good reputation and gain both fame and fortune.

The investment manager who helps him manage his finances is also a talented person. It seems that he has made a lot of gains. Waterfall Investment Company seems to be doing quite well.

Actually.

If he doesn't sell his Microsoft stock and just sit back and don't cash out for financial management, Gates' total net worth could be an additional one to two hundred billion US dollars.

In accordance with the provisions of U.S. law.

As long as the annual donation amount of a charitable foundation exceeds 5% of the total capital of the charitable foundation, the remaining 95% can be used for investment and enjoy tax exemptions.

This means that American charitable funds only need a fixed expenditure of 5% each year, and can use the remaining money to earn more investment income.

This loophole is there openly and openly. It is considered a restricted area in the United States. Although they know there is a problem, no one dares to touch it and modify it. You can completely use this provision to bypass the restrictions of inheritance tax.

At least for all the years that Suri has been living in the United States, he has never heard of any rich people around him who have paid full inheritance tax. The ax has only hit the middle class and high-income people, and it has no impact on the real rich.

When really desperate, they can also immigrate to other countries and find ways to conceal and transfer assets.

Therefore, many countries and regions are abolishing inheritance taxes one after another, even though they know that inheritance taxes can adjust the gap between rich and poor.

Compared with the little money collected, the consequences of rich people running away collectively are obviously more serious.

I bring this up because Daddario told Suri something interesting.

After eating and shopping for clothes, she said:

“You know, my father is a prosecutor in New York, and his department has handled several strange cases this year. Some people froze their deceased family members into ice cubes, and some old people were on the verge of death, but were forced to live longer by machines. I originally thought it was related to organ trading or murder, but I didn’t expect it was all about inheritance.”

Suri put his arm around her shoulders and asked with interest, "Why?"

"The current inheritance tax regulations will expire next year. It is written that if the discussion in 2009 fails to produce a result, the new bill will be implemented from 2011, which means that 2010 is likely to become a window period for inheritance tax. If a wealthy person dies during this year, his or her heirs will not need to pay any inheritance tax.”

Daddario then said:

"If you receive the inheritance now, you will have to pay up to 45% inheritance tax, but if you delay changing the time of death, you may not have to pay a penny. My father said that this simply gives many people a reason to murder. If you wait until 2011, you will not have to pay a penny." After death, you may be required to pay a 55% inheritance tax, and many people will take risks and commit crimes in order to get more money."

Suri was somewhat impressed by this incident. After hearing this, he suddenly realized it and joked:

"Ever since I was a child, I thought I could make a fortune, so I have registered my investment company in an overseas tax haven from the beginning. This can avoid a lot of trouble. At least my parents don't have to worry, I will attack them."

"It's a very good subject, suitable for adapting into a suspenseful movie or TV series. Your father should know a lot of interesting cases. Maybe you can hire him as a consultant to provide some materials for my screenwriters..."

After hearing this, Daddario shook his head decisively and said:

"Forget it, the profession of prosecutor is prone to occupational diseases. No matter who you look at, he looks like a criminal. It is never a good idea to let him get involved in our relationship. My parents have a good impression of you now. Only distance can bring beauty. "

Of course Suri knew what she was referring to and couldn't refute it.

Before Yuko Hoshino went to New York, they had a crazy night. They might be able to maintain a tacit understanding with each other, but it was too difficult for their parents to understand.

Before he was sure to really settle down, having too much contact with Daddario's father would indeed do more harm than good.

Thinking of the wide audience for suspense-type TV series, Suri temporarily remembered a TV series that Daddario had starred in called "The Deadly Woman."

This drama is relatively niche, and the plot is divided into three stories from different eras, all taking place in the same villa, which is quite interesting.

Daddario plays the role of the mistress Green Tea Pyo in this drama, which is impressive.

It just so happens that "The Walking Dead" has performed very well, attracting a large amount of traffic to Netflix Entertainment. As long as it can maintain its current popularity, one or two more self-produced dramas can be released next year.

The cost of filming "Female" is far less than that of some large-scale productions, which is exactly suitable for the current situation of Netflix Entertainment. It can enrich the types of self-produced dramas and avoid being limited to certain themes.

Just do it.

While Daddario was shopping for clothes, Suri sent a text message to the person in charge of the Netflix film and television studio, asking him to find several experienced crime suspense screenwriters as soon as possible after starting work and send them to Lanai. Write a script in retreat.

Many film and television drama companies like to write and shoot at the same time, but he has confidence in his project. By preparing the script in advance, it is easier to grasp the context of the entire drama and improve the quality.

This way.

In addition to "The Walking Dead", there are four new dramas waiting to be filmed next year. The company's financial reserves are sufficient for the time being, but what is lacking is a talent team.

Hollywood has been developing for so many years. Three-legged toads are hard to find. There are crews and crews all over the street, so there is no need to worry too much...
