I am a super cop

Chapter 644 Charity Foundation 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】

Back to the hotel the next day.

According to the requirements of the Luocheng Police Department, Gu Chen gave all Chinese police teams a day off.

However, the case about Ronaldo continues to ferment in local forums.

Since last night, almost all the headlines on the front pages of major media outlets in Luo City, as well as all the hot topics on social forums, have been linked to the A Luo case.

All kinds of extreme comments are also emerging in an endless stream.

Most fans don't believe this is true at all. Even though Ronaldo has pleaded guilty, the theory of idol innocence is still strong in the hearts of many fans.

After all, Ronaldo represented the Liberty Club before and worked hard on public relations activities.

Doing charity and helping the poor, these previously over-promoted positive images suddenly collapsed overnight.

Everyone was unexpected, and even the media reporters couldn't believe that the once talented football boy would do such a thing.

"Tuk tuk." Just as Gu Chen was scrolling through the local forum, there was a knock on the door.

Officer Wang stepped forward to open the door, and two hotel waitresses came forward pushing a dining cart.

"Hello, officer, your lunch has been delivered," said a tall, thin waitress.

"Thank you." Officer Wang gave up his seat, pointed to the desk and said, "Just put it over there."

"Okay." The tall and thin waitress nodded, and then delivered the lunch of Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang to Gu Chen's desk.

While putting down the meal, the tall and thin waitress smiled and said: "Officer Gu, you have recently become a celebrity in Luocheng, and many people know you."

"Oh." Gu Chen looked indifferent, and moved the notebook to the left.

Putting down a plate of food, the tall and thin waitress said again: "Officer Gu, many of my colleagues adore you now. You have solved two cases in such a short period of time. Everyone thinks you are very good."

"Oh, thank you." Gu Chen tapped his fingers on the keyboard briskly, staring directly at the screen, and didn't take a second look at the waiter.

Also feeling Gu Chen's indifference, the tall and thin waitress who was originally enthusiastic, suddenly curled her lips, feeling that it would be troublesome to communicate with Gu Chen.

So she put the remaining plates of food on the table, and said, "Officer Gu, can I take a photo with you? We all like you very much."

"Yes." Gu Chen still entered the work routine on the screen, nodded and agreed to the small request of the waitress.

The tall and thin waitress was also overjoyed, she quickly waved to her companion outside the door, and said softly, "Come in quickly, Officer Gu agreed to take a photo with us."

"Oh." A fat waitress at the door quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and ran to Gu Chen's side in small steps.

"Officer Gu, please turn your face sideways."

"Officer Gu, please smile, yes, that's it."

The two waitresses took seven or eight group photos with Gu Chen, and then bowed to Gu Chen with joy.

"Thank you Officer Gu, you are so handsome, you are definitely the object of admiration for all women in Luocheng, really."

The tall and thin waitress couldn't hide her excitement and joy.

Officer Wang, who stood aside and watched the two taking pictures for a long time, suddenly felt a little jealous.

After all, there is still a big living person standing here?Are you blind?Didn't see it?

Taking pictures with Gu Chen and throwing himself aside, it turns out that women all over the world like handsome guys, and the old bacon is not attractive at all in front of them.

So Officer Wang admitted.

In appearance, after all, it can't compare with Gu Chen.

"Thank you, thank you Officer Gu, goodbye Officer Gu."

Two waitresses interacted with Gu Chen repeatedly to say goodbye at the door, and Gu Chen just nodded in response, and then continued to write his daily work.

After closing the door, Officer Wang, who was deeply hurt in his heart, walked up to Gu Chen and complained, "Gu Chen, is the girl in Luocheng beautiful?"

"It's okay." Gu Chen said.

"Compared to Lu Weiwei and Xiao Yuan, what do you think?" Officer Wang asked again.

Gu Chen stopped what he was doing, hesitated for a while, and then said: "I think Senior Sister Lu and Xiao Yuan look better."

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

The voice fell, and there was another knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Officer Wang turned his head and asked.

"Old Wang, open the door." Lu Weiwei's knock came from outside the door.

Officer Wang smiled: "This Lu Weiwei belongs to Cao Cao, right? As soon as she was mentioned, she came to the door by herself."

Shaking his head, Police Officer Wang stood up and opened the door, while Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha squeezed into the room together carrying large and small plates of food.

"Old Wang, let me go."

"Lu Weiwei, what are you doing?"

"Let's have lunch together, just like we are in the cafeteria of the Furong branch, so there will be an atmosphere." Lu Weiwei said.

Yuan Shasha also nodded, and echoed, "Yes, Senior Brother Wang, we arranged to stay in a hotel here. Senior Sister Lu and I are the only two people for every meal. It's so boring. It's better for everyone to get together to eat and have an atmosphere."

"That's fine, you... just... just put it on Gu Chen's table. The place is originally small, but now there are so many dishes."

Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen who was still working, and reminded directly: "Gu Chen, stop working, tidy up the desk and make room for Lu Weiwei and Xiao Yuan to put the dinner plates there."

"Okay." After Gu Chen hit the last space bar, he twisted his body left and right, got up and transferred the documents and computer on the table to the bedside table.

Everyone arranged the meals in a row, and the moment was full of ritual.

The hotel has Chinese food service, so everyone ordered Chinese food.

It is definitely a different experience to be able to eat hometown food in a foreign country.

Putting the rice into a small wooden bowl, Lu Weiwei brought it to Gu Chen's side with her own hands, and said, "Junior Brother Gu, go wash your hands and eat. This afternoon, after lunch, let's go for a walk around the area in the afternoon."

"Okay, thank you Senior Sister Lu." Gu Chen obeyed.

After washing his hands, he took the rice bowl from Lu Weiwei, picked up some side dishes, and sat on the bedside to enjoy it with relish.

Lu Weiwei, on the other hand, took her own food and chose to sit quietly beside Gu Chen.

The two are very close, and the rhythm of eating is the same...

Police officer Wang, who was serving food by himself, glanced at the two of them, sitting on Gu Chen's wooden chair, enjoying the rare loneliness.

Yuan Shasha originally wanted to sit on Gu Chen's bed, but seeing Lu Weiwei took the first step, she sat weakly on Officer Wang's bed, keeping a distance from them at all times.

The food is very fragrant and tastes like hometown dishes. After everyone is full, they put away the plates and wait for the waiter to come and count them.

Lu Weiwei suddenly saw a business card on Gu Chen's desk, and said in amazement, "Junior Brother Gu, where did you get this business card?"

"That Simon gave it to you yesterday, you forgot?" Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei stared blankly, only to remember the business card that Simon gave Gu Chen yesterday when she returned to the hotel, and said with a smile, "I forgot, it would be nice to receive a business card in a foreign country."

Picking up Simon's business card, Lu Weiwei looked it over carefully, and then said: "Simon is the manager of the foundation, so it should be the manager of the foundation, and it's also a charitable foundation."

"There seem to be quite a lot of charitable foundations in European and American countries." Police Officer Wang held his chin and said thoughtfully, "I said, Gu Chen, why do you think foreign rich people like fruit donations? It seems that those few rich people have fruit donations." plans, but our country’s rich people seem to be imperfect in this regard.”

"Senior Brother Wang, do you really think that these rich people really donate to charity?" Gu Chen looked at Police Officer Wang and asked him with a smile.

"It's hard... Isn't it?" Police Officer Wang asked suspiciously.

Yuan Shasha on the side smiled, and said strangely: "Sure enough, Senior Brother Wang's imagination is too simple. I feel that Senior Brother Gu understands more."

"Eh?" Hearing Yuan Shasha's rebuttal, Police Officer Wang felt confused and asked weakly, "Isn't the charity foundation doing charity?"

"Senior Brother Wang." Seeing that Police Officer Wang was in a hurry, Gu Chen smiled and said, "Didn't you just ask me why foreign rich people like fruit donations?"

"Yes, why?" Officer Wang asked, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Gu Chen smiled slightly, and said: "If you want to know why donations are made, then you must first understand, what is donations?"

"A fruit donation is to donate all your assets." Police officer Wang felt that this was not difficult to understand, and said: "Like Microsoft's Gates, the stock god, and Facebook's Xiaozha, the wife of the Apple founder, etc. And so on, including many European and American rich people who have announced fruit donations, I know all of this.”

"Ah? All donated?" Listening to Police Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei, who is a melon-eating crowd, suddenly felt heartbroken, and said, "Why don't you all donate it? Wouldn't it be nice to leave some for your own children?"

"Senior Sister Lu, do you think they are too noble? Too cold-blooded?" Gu Chen asked.

"Does it need to be said?" Lu Weiwei said with certainty: "I earn so much money and don't leave any money for my children, so I just donate it all. I feel that this is too cold-blooded. If it were me, I would definitely lose some To my children, I feel that foreigners' thinking is sometimes difficult to understand."

"Wrong." Gu Chen directly interrupted Lu Weiwei's speech, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Lu is wrong in understanding this way."

"Wrong?" Lu Weiwei blinked, not knowing why, and said: "The rich man donated all his property to charity, so after the rich man died, wouldn't the property left behind be gone?"

Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Lu, before you evaluate whether their morality is high, we must first know something called inheritance tax."

"Inheritance tax? I know this. I heard that the inheritance tax in European and American countries is very high, right?" Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and said again: "That's right, after the death of a rich man, he can't leave all his wealth to his descendants, because the state has to charge a 50% inheritance tax."

"That is to say, the children can only get half of it, and the wealth will be diluted by at least half in each generation?" Police Officer Wang asked beside him.

"Yes!" Gu Chen said with a smile: "So, these countries use the law to educate you about what it means to be rich for three generations."

"It's ruthless." Officer Wang couldn't help complaining when he heard this.

I feel that it was originally my own money, so how can I leave it to my children after death, and I have to pay half of the tax.

It sounds unbelievable.

So he looked at Gu Chen and asked again: "Gu Chen, is there any way to keep one's wealth from being diluted, so that future generations can enjoy the wealth forever, and the money is equal to the sky?"

Gu Chen smiled lightly and said, "Of course, this doesn't bother these rich people, that's what we just mentioned."

"What was mentioned just now?" Lu Weiwei hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Could it be for charity?"

"Yes, it's doing 'charity'."

"Wait a minute." Officer Wang interrupted Gu Chen suddenly, and said in a dazed expression, "Don't you donate all your family's assets for charity? The most important thing for the rich is to gain fame, their children, aren't they?" Is there still no money to take? What is the relationship between doing charity and their descendants enjoying wealth forever?"

Gu Chen waved his hand, interrupted Police Officer Wang and said, "Brother Wang, you have to know that you create your own foundation and let your children be the managers of the foundation for generations. In this way, the money will be in the hands of the descendants justifiably. in?"

"It's... still okay?" Police officer Wang's knowledge of this aspect is almost zero, Gu Chen said this, and it seemed to make sense, so he nodded and said:

"That's right. Mom and Dad donated all their wealth to set up a charitable foundation, and then arranged for their children to become managers of the charitable foundation. It sounds reasonable."

When Lu Weiwei heard this, she also nodded silently: "Yes, the foundation manages so much money. It's better to let your own children take care of it than to manage it by outsiders."

"But..." Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei still hesitated, and asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, even if the children of rich people end up in charge of charity funds, these huge assets must be used for charity."

"But in this regard, even if the children of the rich have the management rights of the foundation with huge assets, they cannot use it as their own property."

"That's right, Lu Weiwei is right." Officer Wang also had the same doubt.

After all, the assets of the foundation are used for charity. In this regard, there is still a difference with the expenses of the children of the rich.

Of course Gu Chen knew that Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang lacked knowledge in this area, and they always held a questioning tone.

But looking at Yuan Shasha beside her, it seemed that Yuan Shasha knew all these things well, and she always maintained a quiet and listening attitude, which was completely different from the reactions of Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei.

Although Gu Chen had doubts about Yuan Shasha's family background, but Yuan Shasha took the bus to work every day, so Gu Chen gave up on this point.

But whenever Gu Chen mentioned the management of these huge assets, Yuan Shasha seemed to be listening with a mentality of reviewing. This was a completely different mentality from the other old and new comrades in the Criminal Investigation Team [-] of the Furong Branch.

Seeing that Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang were puzzled, Gu Chen looked away from Yuan Shasha and said, "The charitable foundation only needs to take out 5% of its assets every year and use it for charity."

"And this 5% also includes the daily expenses of the foundation, such as the high salaries of the managers of the descendants of the rich, and the food, drink and salaries for official travel, which can all be counted."

"So, what is the salary they say?" Officer Wang asked.

Gu Chen nodded, and said again: "Daily expenses, including business trips, eating and drinking, are all a mess."

"Many managers of the descendants of the rich can completely use the funds of charitable foundations for their so-called 'official travel' in this regard."

"I lost it!" Lu Weiwei was shocked when she heard this.

I thought it was okay?How can you do this?

Suddenly thinking of the high wages and daily expenses of a certain cross society, I can't help but feel a little bit of dread.

"Senior Sister Lu." Seeing that Lu Weiwei was in a daze, Gu Chen continued to remind: "Maybe you don't know yet? Charity funds can still be invested with this money."

"What?" It was shocking enough just now, but when Gu Chen threw out the argument that charity funds can be used for investment, Lu Weiwei was completely dumbfounded.

It feels completely beyond my imagination...

"This... isn't this too happy? Isn't this too happy? Ah! I'm envious, if I want to have it, I will ruin it if I can't get it."

"Pfft! Lu Weiwei, what are you talking about?" Officer Wang was also hurt internally by Lu Weiwei's laughter.

It turned out that it wasn't Gu Chen who spoke this time, and Yuan Shasha who was on the side answered directly: "I know that Gates' charitable foundation has an annual return on investment of about 18%. This is real."

"What? Is there really such a high rate of return?" Officer Wang was stunned, thinking that even Xiao Yuan knew about it?
Gu Chen glanced at Yuan Shasha, nodded and said, "That's right, if you donate 100 billion, you will still get 18 billion in income every year. That's not enough, and there are even more ruthless ones. In order to encourage charity, some European and American countries donate money. , you can also return 20% of taxes and fees.”

"Pfft!" Hearing this, Police Officer Wang was dumbfounded: "And... there are anti-taxes? Isn't that different from kickbacks?"

Police officer Wang, who felt the impact on his three views, hurriedly counted with his fingers: "So, if I donate 100 billion, I can still tax 20 billion, but in name you still donate 100 billion."

"Tsk tsk." Lu Weiwei also felt too crazy, and couldn't help but tsk tsk twice: "This is a routine. How can this be a donation? It's just a waste of money."

"It's not over yet." Seeing that Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were already crazy, Gu Chen didn't want to end, thinking that the two of them still thought too easily, so he said again:
"Like these European and American wealthy families, they will inevitably have to deal with European and American political leaders."

"If it's illegal to donate money directly, and your reputation is bad, what should you do? We can only serve the people together."

"And if you invite these European and American leaders to do charity together, you can't let them help for nothing, right? So, it's a trivial matter of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and they have to accept whatever they say."

"Thus, the European and American political leaders got the money. During the campaign, because they are usually keen on charity, they can increase their support rate a lot."

"Be good." Police officer Wang was dumbfounded, and he said involuntarily, "It's no wonder that these people are keen on charity when they run for office. I feel that there is a reason behind it. This is just playing tricks."

Thinking back to myself, I always thought why European and American rich people are so noble. Although they have hundreds of billions of assets, they don’t leave them to future generations after death, but choose to donate them to charitable foundations.

From this point of view, Officer Wang has always been envious of the character of these rich men.

But after Gu Chen said this, it seems that the "character" has to be reconsidered.

I feel that the routines in the city are deep, and it is better to go back to the countryside.
