Paying taxes is quite powerful in China. In fact, it is very powerful in any country. Paying taxes in the United States is even more severe.

But Ye Ming has been using this move for a long time. As a time traveler, if you don't guard against this move, you will be embarrassed to tell others that you came from time travel.

So Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This is naturally different. If my movie is invested by Huihuang Film and Television, then I will definitely pay taxes on the box office on time. After all, the company is registered here.

But Huihuang.com is different. Huihui.com is registered in the Cayman Islands. This investment in a movie like Slumdog Millionaire is a matter of Huihuang.com and has no direct relationship with Huihuang Film and Television. "

This is Ye Ming's method. The company is not directly registered in China, but transferred to the Cayman Islands. Hearing this, Han Shanping was stunned for a moment: "Don't all your companies belong to you? I remember they are all registered in China?"

Ye Ming said unhurriedly: "Third Master, my Huihuang Network does not only have my own shares, but also has Quantum Fund and some other foreign shares. I am just the major shareholder. Therefore, In order to reduce unnecessary trouble at this time, in fact, when I was cooperating with Quantum Fund, I had already transferred the company to Cayman.

In this place, you can start a company with a nominal amount of money, pay a small management fee every year, and you can play with the rest as you like, and no one cares what other taxes you want, such as Coca-Cola, Major international companies such as Microsoft and Apple are generally registered in offshore ports such as the Cayman Islands. "

This is an international trend. Later, many Internet companies in China learned to transfer their companies to the Cayman Islands.

However, this is a new situation after all. Ye Ming is very familiar with it, but it does not mean that Han Shanping is also familiar with this matter. Therefore, in such a situation, Han Shanping hesitated and said: "Okay, this matter Let’s talk about this first. You can go back first. If anything happens, I will come back to you.”

Ye Ming used a trick to escape from the golden cicada, so Han Shanping was also in trouble. After sending Ye Ming away, Han Shanping found the leader with some depression and told several leaders directly about the situation, and Han Shanping also continued to express He expressed his own point of view: "I think Ye Ming, this kid, has been on guard for a long time. Who would have thought that he would transfer his company to the Cayman Islands? I don't even know this place. I didn't know anything about it before this." I had never heard of a place like the Cayman Islands.”

Naturally, Han Shanping has never heard of it before, because there are not many companies in China that can play like this, and it is not as popular as it will be in the future.

At this time, the leader thought for a moment, then made a phone call and carefully inquired about the information of Ye Ming's two companies, and then said with a serious face: "You are right, the registration of Ye Ming's Huihuang.com is indeed Not in China, but in Cayman, this kid has been prepared for a long time, our opponent is a bit cunning."

The leader dislikes such subordinates the most. If Ye Ming is obedient, then everything is easy to say, but what Ye Ming has shown is obviously not the kind of person who can be very obedient.

Another fat leader who was also biased against Ye Ming said: "Then what should we do in such a situation? Is it true that we have nothing to do with a guy like Ye Ming?" There is no way to let people like this take 7 to 8 billion without collecting any taxes."

Another leader said helplessly: "What can you do about this? It's not money from Huihuang Film and Television. We have no right to collect money at all. Now the seven or eight billion yuan has not gone to Huihuang.com, even if it has arrived, it is still Companies in Cayman are considered foreign capital.

Ye Ming's company is also registered abroad for the money he earns outside. According to our country's laws, there is no possibility of collecting money. If there is, then he can collect it at the domestic box office, even if it is foreign. Companies and movies also need to collect taxes. "

When it comes to the domestic box office of Slumdog Millionaire, it is somewhat difficult to say something like this. After all, in such a situation, the domestic box office tax is equivalent to three melons and two dates, and International box office is different.

The fat leader said: "I don't think there is any need to be polite to this guy Ye Ming. Since this guy changed the company's registered address to Cayman early, in such a situation, it means that he has serious intentions." Beware of us, this person is not easy to control, we have to hammer it, if he transfers the box office to Huihuang Film and Television, then we can still let him go, but if he does not agree, directly deal with this kid, anyway, Beijing The Olympic bid was also successful.

Even if it means to deal with Ye Ming, it is justified. Also, didn't Jackson say he would hold a concert? Ye Ming is not responsible for this. If it is said that without our nod, can they hold a concert? He refused directly, and Ye Ming was also banned. Anyone who disobeys will be given a good beating. "

Ye Ming is so awesome at what he does. He has a box office of 7 to 8 billion and does not benefit the Radio, Film and Television Bureau at all. Can the leader be happy with such a thing? It is impossible to be happy at all.

Therefore, in such a matter, what Ye Ming did was indeed a bit excessive. At least in the eyes of the leaders, it was a sign of disobedience.

Han Shanping immediately said: "I don't need to ask about this. Ye Ming is a die-hard guy. Since this is what he is doing, he will never give up. Let him move the box office here. In a situation like this It's simply impossible. If he was willing to transfer, then he wouldn't say that he would directly set up a company in Cayman in such a matter."

It has to be said that Han Shanping knows Ye Ming quite well, so his words are a very thorough analysis of Ye Ming's character. No need to ask Ye Ming, Ye Ming would not agree.

But at this time, the fat leader said unhappily: "If you don't agree, then you are disobedient. Just ban him directly. If we don't have Ye Ming in China, won't the film industry develop?"

The leader hates his subordinates who don't listen to him. Therefore, at this time, the fat leader's words immediately caused most people to nod. This matter is settled as it is.

How can I collect money in China? If I transfer it to China, I can collect money. As Han Shanping walked out, he thought about the leader's strange question. It was indeed a very strange question. I don't know what the leader thought about this matter.

Why did Ye Ming transfer his company to Cayman? Wasn't it because he didn't want to pay so much taxes? But if Ye Ming is willing to transfer at this time, why not just register the company directly in China?

Although Han Shanping thought the same way.

But in such a situation, more generally speaking, he himself was still on Ye Ming's side.

But some things are ordered by the leader. Even Han Shanping, he only has the responsibility to execute them.

Therefore, under such a situation, Ye Ming received a call from the third master again. This time, the third master did not directly ask Ye Ming to come over, but explained the leader's intention on the phone.

Sure enough, the Third Master knew Ye Ming very well. After hearing this, Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "You don't need to say more about this matter, Third Master, I will not transfer the money, and, This also represents the interests of the company. Even if I am willing, the shareholders are not willing. You must know that this is not my company. If I do that, they will probably unite to impeach me."

Ye Ming actually signed an agreement with Quantum Fund. Ye Ming has absolute controlling rights over the entire Huihuang.com, so there is no such thing as a shareholder impeaching him.

But at this time, Han Shanping didn't know about such a thing.

Therefore, Han Shanping knew that he could not persuade Ye Ming, so he said helplessly: "You brat, I know you have such a temper. From my personal standpoint, I really appreciate a person like you." It’s temperamental, but from the standpoint of the country, I can’t stand such a thing. Some leaders can’t stand it either.”

Ye Ming also said helplessly: "Well, Third Master, I don't understand. You said that my company is registered outside, and I make money with foreigners' money, so why are there still people in China who care about my box office?" Well, do I have to pay taxes when I make money? According to the law, there is no problem if I don’t pay taxes. This is legal."

Han Shanping and Ye Ming are also relatively familiar with each other, so he did not hide anything at all, but said directly: "Actually, what you said is right on such a question, but there is one thing, you made money.

You put yourself on the fire.

Some people are jealous of your money. There is nothing wrong with whether your company is registered in China, and the money you earn belongs to foreigners, but you are Chinese. Just because you are Chinese, you make money and do not pay taxes. Naturally, the leader is Somewhat distasteful. Therefore, this proposal was made.

But since you are so insistent, let me tell you the news, that is, if you disagree, you will be banned directly. Jackson will not come to China anymore, and your movie "囧囧" will not be released. "

This is a threat. You can call it a threat or a punishment. Anyway, it’s just because the leader can’t stand it and wants to wear your little shoes.

Ye Ming was immediately taken aback and said in surprise: "Third Master, this is not right, why? My Thai囧 movie has passed the censorship, and it is said that it has obtained a screening license. In this If you say you won’t let me show it, then you have to give me a reason, right?”

Yes, if a censored movie is not allowed to be screened without a suitable reason, it would be a bit hard to convince the public.

Han Shanping said with a smile: "You kid, don't try to kidnap public opinion. Anyway, as long as the bureau wants to prevent you from being released, they will definitely find reasons that are convincing enough for everyone.

Don't talk about your movies that have been censored, even if you talk about the movies that have been released, as long as the people above them nod, it won't be one or two movies.

Therefore, when it comes to a matter like this, just accept your fate. Who made you disobedient? "

Ye Ming immediately thought of a very, very famous movie, Farewell My Concubine, directed by Chen Kaige. This movie, directed by Chen Kaige, won many international awards. It should be banned from being screened because it is too famous and the awards it won are not If there are too many, then just pass the censorship and a few small screenings will be a step down for yourself and the director.

This movie is a typical example of a movie that passed censorship but was banned from screening.

If I go there, the people from the General Administration can definitely do this kind of thing. Therefore, at a time like this, Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Forget it, just ban it, but I believe it can't be banned forever. What Brother Chen Kai can do, I can also do."

What Brother Chen Kai did was to say Farewell My Concubine. This movie is definitely an exception, and this is not the only exception that Director Chen made. There was also the scene of the Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain, with the Dragon Prince. As a result, the Dragon Prince The guy attracted fans, which caused Director Chen's movie to almost be taken down. However, at this time, seeing Director Chen's energy, he directly found someone to get the movie censored.

There are only two directors who can do this in China, one is Brother Chen Kai, and the other is national teacher Zhang Yimou.

Anyway, apart from these two great directors who have won numerous international awards, anyone else who dares to disobey will die. Feng Xiaogang is no exception. Back then, Wang Shuo became a director for the first time and filmed the movie I Am Your Father. . It was also the only film directed by Feng Xiaogang in which he starred, and it was also banned. It was because I was disobedient that I participated in a foreign film festival without being censored.

Of course, director Feng Xiaogang later starred in "Old Pao", a somewhat autobiographical film starring Director Feng, but that is in the future.

Ye Ming said that he would do what Director Chen Kaige did. This also made Han Shanping very happy. He laughed and said: "Actually, I still support you, but some leaders are not happy to see you disobeying. Do it well." If you can do this, it's not impossible for your "囧囧" to be released. Then I'll just fight for you." (To be continued)
