Chapter 21 Investing
"Boss, the results of Undocumented Crime are very good. It has accumulated to 150 million copies in May, and it has been ranked in the top ten of the sales list."

Peyton nodded slightly when he heard the words. In comparison, the undocumented crime is not too amazing.

But with the fame of his previous books and the high quality, he still achieved very good results.

Of course, the publicity of Random House is still in place-"Small people can be great, the limit of what a father can do."

Speaking of which, each of his books are above the standard line, and all of them have achieved good results.

Especially "The Poet's Secret", which was originally intended to please the tastes of the judges, failed to please many women's rights representatives, and became a trendy book that federal women had to read.

They always feel that marriage is a bondage, longing for romantic extramarital affairs in books.

In line with the promotion of Random House, it is labeled as "exclusive for independent women".

At present, this book is very hot. It has been released for one and a half years, and its cumulative sales volume has exceeded 600 million copies. It ranked first in last year's sales list, and it can be regarded as his second out-of-the-circle work.

After this book, seeing the huge sales volume and out of respect for female readers, Peyton even thought about whether to write the Bridge of Madison County in advance.

It's just that most of the new books have been written, and Peyton chose to apologize.

In the future, there will be a chance.

As he said that, Ivoni looked at his boss expectantly: "Boss, Random House is contacting me to inquire about the status of the next book!"

"Tell them, at the end of this month, I will officially deliver the manuscript."

Ivoni nodded upon hearing that, his eyes were full of excitement, and becoming Payton's agent was definitely the most correct choice for him.

The books written by my own boss are not only best-selling, but you will never need to press for the manuscript. Generally, within half a year after the release of the first book, the next book will be officially delivered, with perfect connection and no delay.

"By the way, Ivoni, it's time to tell them about my royalties. 13% is a bit low. I want 15%!"

"Don't worry, boss, they will agree!" Ivoni heard, eyes filled with excitement.

Payton's royalties are also related to his income as an agent. If it can reach 15%, his income will increase accordingly.

Payton is now the top popular author in the United States. The release of several best-selling books has established his status. It is normal to have such royalties!

After a while, when Ivoni left, Peyton picked up the phone on the seat and made a call.

On the other end of the voice was a man with a hoarse voice: "Hello, this is Dels Finance Office."

"I'm Peyton Chriss!"

"Hello, Mr. Chris, may I help you?"

"Help me transfer Ms. Vivian!"

"OK, just a second!"

Peyton waited quietly. The Dels Financial Firm was his chosen cooperative institution, which was responsible for his financial problems.

Ms. Vivian is his exclusive accountant.

Unlike most of the rest of the authors who are selected by agents, the author is only responsible for writing.

Payton is not comfortable leaving everything to the agent, especially when it comes to finances.

Human nature cannot stand the test of money.

People are selfish, except for themselves, it is better to keep a three-point vigilance for others.

He chose the most professional financial firm in Alabama to be responsible for his financial management and supervision.

At the same time, he also has a law firm that specializes in cooperating with him to supervise negotiations, sign contracts and other issues.

Accountants, brokers, lawyers, and three different organizations are responsible for the value he generates in business from different aspects, and supervise each other to ensure Payton's financial security.

It can be said that the power of Ivoni, the economic man, has been reduced to the extreme by him. He is supervised in all aspects, especially when it comes to money.

Various perks have also been cut.

There will definitely be complaints in his heart, but he will never show it.

Ivoni is very clear that there are too many people who want to take his place, and Payton is the only one, but he is not, and even if he does not conform to Payton's plan, he will be kicked away.

"Hello, Mr. Peyton!"

On the other end of the phone was his exclusive accountant Vivienne, a woman in her early 40s, ordinary-looking, meticulous in her work, with a complete family, including the elderly and children.

Such a family situation makes Ms. Vivienne very serious about her work. She is a trustworthy person.

In today's society, although women's rights are fermenting, it is still a man's society.

Except for entertainment public relations and some fields of your choice, in all other fields, men occupy a clear leadership position, and men are more valued in these fields.

At the same time, when it comes to finances, most people have some contempt and resistance to women in their hearts.

Therefore, although Vivienne has outstanding professional ability, she has not been able to gain much status.

Before becoming Peyton's accountant, Vivienne was just a low-level accountant in the firm. Although her work ability surpassed most of her male colleagues, she didn't have many opportunities to perform.

After being picked by Peyton to become his exclusive accountant, Vivienne became the firm's senior financial officer.

Now, she will be responsible for helping Payton legally avoid taxes, and process and supervise the flow of every money.

It was with the help of Vivienne that Payton established three companies and an educational charity, purchased several properties including his current studio, and made charitable donations to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance.

For some company bosses, accounting is definitely a super important position, which must be taken by a real confidant.

You can not trust your family, but you must trust your accountant.

In many cases, they are not simply responsible for your financial problems, they control all your financial flows, which are already related to your future.

For many companies that are on the edge of the law, their accounting is even more important. They are responsible for helping tax evasion and revising bills.

Generally speaking, after the accounting job is over, the company will provide a sum of funds sufficient to realize financial freedom in life, or let him become a partner of the company, directly tied to the interests of the company.

Gag him and be your true self.

Of course, it could also be dead!
But the latter is rare, the Tax Investigation Bureau is not a fool, and only some low-level gangs can do it so rough.

"Vivian, have you prepared the financial statements for last quarter?"

"Of course, boss."

"Is there a problem with it?"

"Boss, there is no problem, no one can escape the monitoring of Dels Financial Firm and the Federal Taxation Bureau!"

Vivienne smiled, and her tone was full of ridicule. This little boss of hers was really the most cautious boss she had ever seen.

Others are afraid of the Federal Taxation Bureau, but my own boss greets him with a smile.

Even taking the initiative to find a law firm that has close ties with the Federal Taxation Bureau to handle related lawyer security issues for him, which is to open everything to the Federal Taxation Bureau.

Vivienne knows the law firm in charge of her boss's legal aspects very well.

This law firm is well-known in the state of Analabama, and the main issue that the other party is responsible for is tax issues. The founder of the firm is a senior consultant of the Federal Taxation Bureau and has a deep relationship with the Federal Taxation Bureau.

It has even been rumored that the boss of this firm has never been more than one person.

Legend has it that many top IRS executives have stakes in it.

The network of relationships is amazing!

Usually, most companies or individuals find this tax bureau because they have violated tax problems and want to seek help.

The Commonwealth is a society of freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, but these do not affect the generation of friendship in the slightest.

With the help of this firm, you can find a professional person (usually a family member of an internal staff member of the tax bureau), become her or his friend, spend a consulting fee or exchange gifts between friends, and maximize your income. Solve your own problems to a certain extent.

Because of the existence of this law firm, the tax issues of many companies or individuals can be reduced within the scope of the rules.

The same is tax evasion, intentional tax evasion and accidental tax evasion, the punishment is not the same.

And this benchmark is in the hands of the Federal Tax Service, they have your tax details, evidence of your tax evasion.

They can prove the level of crime your tax evasion touched!

At the same time, the tax bureau just needs you to pay back the tax, and it doesn't really want to chase you to death.

Yes, you broke the law, but what does it matter?

We are only responsible for tax issues, legal crime issues, please contact the police or the FBI.

There are a lot of flexibility in this. As long as you are willing to spend money, sometimes you will find that even if you evade taxes in the federal government, there is still room for maneuver.

After all, the IRS cares about money, not your freedom.

Al Capone's businesses have to pay taxes legally, they don't care if you break the law or not.

If you have money, you can operate!

If others find this law firm, there is a high probability that they will solve their own tax problems, but Payton is different.

Payton never evaded taxes, only legal tax avoidance, and he took a fancy to the network of the Federal Tax Service.

Submit a "protection fee" and let the Federal Taxation Bureau work for him indirectly to monitor his tax problems, that is, financial problems.

Payton believes that the FBI and several law firms monitor his financial issues from several aspects to ensure that no one dares to mess around, and his finances can definitely get the greatest security.

Wei Wei'an is well aware of her boss's double protection, but she doesn't feel that the boss doesn't trust her, after all, human nature is like this.

In the face of huge wealth, Vivienne can't guarantee that she will not be lost in her heart. It is good to have the supervision of the FBI. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as an extra security guarantee for her.

Peyton nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Okay, that's it."

After a while, Payton made his second call, which was from his investment director, Auburn Mfila.

Inflation, a term known to most people in later generations, money is constantly depreciating.

Payton will not keep his money in the bank and keep depreciating.

Investment, this is an area that must be touched after having money.

Payton has a financial advisor. Although he may not necessarily listen to the advice of the advisor, the existence of the advisor can give him a better understanding of professional knowledge and even enhance his judgment in various aspects.

At the same time, Payton also has his own financial investment plan and a dedicated executor.

Betting on Japan - this is the core of Payton's plan.

After World War II, Japan's economy took off. In the 70s and [-]s, Japan's economic development speed was no less than that of China in later generations.
From [-] to [-], Japan's gross national product increased by [-] times. When the industrial production developed the fastest, it doubled every five years. There were three five-year periods in total. The economic development was fast. , astonishing.

And real estate also played a very important role in this process.

Except for the Japanese real estate bubble in the early 90s, people may not know that in the mid-70s, Japanese real estate was about to reach an extremely hot state.

After a short-term sharp drop due to the global economic crisis, it continued to rise for another decade.

At that time, the Japanese economy once clamored to become the world's largest economy, and it was invincible.

The Federation, which still has troops stationed in Japan, was extremely envious. After that, the Reagan administration signed the Plaza Accord with tears, accepting Japan's decades of economic achievements with grief.

This agreement also made the already extremely hot real estate even more crazy, and the average house price in Tokyo directly soared by 120%.

With hatred for the Federals, the Japanese bought the symbol of the Federal Financial Empire - the Rockefeller Building, and the symbol of the Federal Films - Columbia Pictures...

Not only that, they also bought forests in Canada, iron mines in Australia, the most expensive house in Hong Kong, Japanese women bought 70% of French-made LV handbags, and Japanese men flew to Thailand to play golf in groups...

This is an era of madness. In the six years from 1985 to 1990, Japanese real estate entered a stage of explosive growth. At the peak in 6, one and a half land prices in Tokyo could buy one and a half federal.

Everyone knows the final result.

With the bursting of the bubble economy, Japan fell into a decade-long economic stagnation, known as the "lost decade".

Payton, who understands history, as long as he avoids the big pit in time, for him, investing in Japanese real estate is definitely an opportunity to make money without losing money.

Now, the Japanese economy has just recovered, and it is the best time to buy bottoms.

Over the past three years, Payton has earned tens of millions of dollars through writing and various copyright fees.

At present, most of these funds are active in the Japanese real estate industry, acquiring a large number of land and buildings.

As for some well-known companies in later generations, he has also been in contact with them, but in the end he chose to give up, because there are too many variables.

There is still a small amount of funds, and Payton bets on some company stocks he is familiar with in later generations.

Coca-Cola, General Electric, Federal Steel...

These stocks can be held for a long time. Anyway, the value of these stocks increases far faster than inflation.

At the same time, Payton also has some investments in companies that export to Japan.

Except for the big investment in real estate, his investment in the rest is small and scattered, and he does not put all his eggs in one basket.

In fact, Payton has more options, but the timing is too early now.

A few days ago, after learning more about the market, Payton realized that even Ford, which is known as the century-old Ford, is not on the market now, let alone Wal-Mart and the like.

Many well-known companies he is familiar with have not yet been established.

Today, the Federation is full of gold, just waiting for Peyton to accumulate enough capital to go mining.
