How Did I Become a God

The so-called view of money is the view of wealth. This is also the point that Jing Gao wants to ask for advice.

Since he got the Shenhao Card, he has actually been very restrained. Always use the people and things on the Internet that suddenly became rich but ended up badly to alert yourself. Three provinces a day. In order to finally be able to control the power of money.

As the saying goes: if a gentleman is knowledgeable and he can learn about himself every day, he knows and does nothing wrong.

So, what do Duan Yongping and others like those who make money in the tide of the times by their own ability, what do they think of "money"?

"Mr. Jing, this is a good question!" Duan Yongping looked at Jing Gao with great interest, and was very satisfied with the question of Jing Gao. This is not something ordinary people can ask.

Most people who are willing to think about this issue may not have money, or enough money. Those who have the ability to think about this problem will rarely think about it.

For the first generation of self-employed tycoons, the problem that most people face every day is pressure on business. The second generation of the rich was born with good clothes and food, taking everything for granted. They don't even think about this essential issue.

"Mr. Jing, it’s the normal mind I just said. I have seen too many examples. Many people become unhappy because of money. And I personally think that it’s foolish for a person to become unhappy because of money. of.

I have actually gone through this stage. Seeing more and more money on the books, I feel that it is a scourge and a trouble no matter what I think. "

Jing Gao drank the tea, and Ma Yun's pretending to be a collection of golden sentences naturally appeared in his mind: "It is painful to make several billions a month." In fact, it is difficult for him to understand Mr. Ma's thoughts. But to Duan Zong, it feels a little vague.

"Is it because of California's tax system?"

Many domestic bosses frequently announce in the media that: until the company's X goal is completed, labor and management will not be paid. Or just take a symbolic salary of 1 yuan.

In those years when the Internet was in the ascendant, ordinary netizens were really moved. But the real reason is now known to all netizens on the Internet, because China's tax rate is very high for the rich.

As long as those bosses dare to get their wages, almost half of their monthly wages will be handed over to the state as personal income tax. And if the bosses only take dividends, according to the law, they pay 20% directly. Anyone is willing to take only 1 yuan or no money!

(Note: This is the standard before the implementation of the new tax law in 2019. The current personal income tax is a comprehensive withholding.)

Duan Yong smiled flatly: "There are factors in this respect. California's personal income tax system, based on my income, federal tax and California state tax combined is about 45%. If it is long-term capital gains, it means more than one year. The total investment income of the federal tax and state tax is 25%.

However, if the stock is donated directly to a charity fund or other non-profit organization, the maximum fee is only 2%. "

Jing Gao just wanted to say something in his heart: Damn it! The capitalist world is just fun!

The most direct way for the poor to avoid tax is to use cash transactions. How much can this avoid? The rich donate capital directly to charitable organizations, paying only 2% tax. Sure enough, the law serves capital!

No wonder, when he communicated with Professor Jin and Professor Zhai, he would get this message: US government tax cut plans usually cut taxes paid by the wealthy. There are very few inclusive policies for the poor and the people at the bottom.

Judging from his experience half a month ago, Bill Gates donated all his Microsoft stocks to his "Gates Fund". How much tax can this "reasonably" save?

I'm going!

"My wife and I have similar views. Money can't be left to the child. The biggest support for the child is to let him receive the best education. Give him a little more money as a backup, so that he won't be impoverished. I have been working from a business in my life I have enjoyed a lot of fun in the process of growing and investing. Leaving a bunch of money for a child will only deprive him of future fun. The most important thing is to let them earn it on their own.

Duan Yongping was eating Cantonese food and rice with a smile, waiting for Jing Gao to think. He believes that with Jing Gao's savvy and wealth, he can understand his mental journey, and there is no need to say more.

For a while, the dinner table was a bit quiet. The four each ate their food.

Jing Gao muttered.

He roughly understands why Duan Yongping has such an idea and outlook on wealth.

…

…

The opinion of the rich on money is very different from the opinion of ordinary people on money. For example, most of the daily expenses of the rich are linked to the company's account, which is a reasonable method of tax avoidance.

Like Ma Yun's car before retirement, the nationally famous Maybach. In fact, it is the property of Alibaba. Our ordinary people's daily expenses, that is how much money we make and how much we spend!

This, of course, will bring about a completely different view of money: the rich will talk about the funds of entities such as companies, funds, etc. They are concerned about the funds they can control! And we can only focus on our pockets and bank cards!

This is the essence of the different outlook on wealth!

The first point, Duan Yongping said, looking at the increasing amount of money on the books, no matter how you think about it, I feel that it is a scourge and a trouble.

This is called, the troubles of life are different.

For ordinary people, life is not enough to hate money! The house is too small, the car is not rich enough, the school the child goes to is not good, the wife is not beautiful enough, not enough... etc.

For the rich, what are their first troubles?

Tax avoidance!

Who wants to pay the hard-earned money as taxes? Or leave a sum of money to the children and end up paying a huge inheritance tax? Everyone wants to avoid tax reasonably!

Of course, the saying that money is a scourge must be something that can be said after enjoying everything. Because money has magic power, you will get lost in it carelessly, and eventually be overwhelmed by "money".

The second point is not to leave too much money for children.

This "not much" is relative to Duan Yongping's net worth. If a person does not mess around, just enjoy the life of rich clothes and jade food, it is estimated that one or two billion US dollars will be about the same.

From the perspective of educating a child, giving too much money is ruining him. The right is the best.

…

…

Jing Gao's understanding of this wealth view is not deep enough. Because he is still in an age of high consumption! How can anyone have such an enlightenment before the age of 30? If he hadn't had an unlimited card, most of his companies would have lost money! He has to worry about not spending enough money.

Duan Yongping is in a low life stage. He is 57 years old this year and belongs to what Professor Zhai said: a low-consumption ** group.

"President Duan, I agree with your point of view on the education of children. As for how much money to leave for him, I will think about it later! However, I have an idea, Mr. Duan, what charity project you have, I am willing to donate some. Realize it slowly!"

Jing Gao did some homework before coming. Ding Sanshi followed Duan Yongping to do charity together. It is inappropriate to invest directly in Duan Yongping's family fund. However, both of them graduated from Zhejiang University. There is this relationship.

He invested some money to do charity and keep in touch with Duan Yongping, the business godfather, it was worth it.

Duan Yongping smiled and said: "Okay!"

He is an old Jianghu, and Jing Gao's words are very clear. Willing to follow his business and wealth concept to realize slowly. Personally, he does not lack money for charity. But he does have a heart for charity. He is happy to come in with a little more money.

Anyway, Jing Gao didn't leave any money for him to take care of, but after he found a suitable project, Jing Gao followed up a little.

Jing Gao raised his teacup, "President Duan, to you. If you give me a farewell message, I don't know if you have anything you can give me?"

Duan Yongping smiled slightly and said: "If I must say it, it is: enjoy life, this is the purpose of people coming into this world."

After a meal, Jing Gao and Duan Yongping took a photo to miss, Dong Youwei and Duan Yongping’s assistant exchanged contact information, and left at the door of the Chinese restaurant to say goodbye.

…

…

The black Cadillac walked slowly, returning to the four-star hotel in downtown Palo Alto.

The car is slightly quiet.

Dr. Song drove the car and Dong Youwei sat in the passenger seat. Jing Gao asked: "Youwei, what do you think of Duan Zong's point of view?"

Dong Youwei is very reticent, trying to figure out that "Shangyi" is doing very well. He knew Jing Gaowen's view of wealth, not his view of doing business, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, I don't have that much money, and you can't learn it if you want to.

Jing Gao leaned in the back seat and smiled and said, "Promising, are you married?"

"It's over. No kids yet."

"Dr. Song, how about you?" Jing Gao asked again.

Dr. Song, who drove the car, said with a cautious smile: "Ms. Jing, I'm still talking with my girlfriend. I have to wait two years to get married."

In fact, as the general manager of the Phoenix Fund's Silicon Valley team, he certainly heard of Duan Yongping, a well-known investment tycoon in the American Chinese circle. But he just had something to deal with temporarily, and he could not eat at a table, so he could only eat a bite next to him and listen a little.

What he does is venture capital, which is different from Duan Yongping's value investment philosophy.

Jing Gao nodded, did not speak, and pondered slightly.

In business, he still admires Duan Yongping's philosophy, and he really speaks many things thoroughly. On the view of wealth, he did not fully agree with him, and only got a partial answer. He is not thirty years old after all!

However, Duan Yongping's last words, he agrees: enjoy life.

Duan Yongping enjoys his life by playing golf, meeting with friends at home and abroad, educating children, investing in his spare time, and helping his friends manage accounts. The main job is to do charity.

And what is his enjoyment of life?

The excitement in enjoyment is just a moment of happiness. After passing through that stage, there will be no special nostalgia. Only by maintaining your own interests and hobbies and arranging your own life is the enjoyment of life!

Although he didn't get the unanimous answer from Duan Yongping on the "view on wealth" and the view on money, it was quite enlightening to him.

He still has a long way to go!

…

…

Back in the hotel, Weiwei and Chen Yujie went to Stanford University for a visit and had not returned yet. Jing Gao sent them a WeChat message, took a shower, and got the time difference online. He must not remember the time difference between the two places.

China is 16 hours faster than here in California. It is more than two o'clock in the afternoon. Domestically, it is more than ten o'clock in the evening.

Jing Gao pondered for a while, sat on the sofa in the hotel living room, and called Zhang Li, "Xiao Li, do you have Liu Ziyu's phone number?"

In early August, Zhang Li was a junior at Fudan University this year. She is still in the summer vacation. However, she did not go back during the summer vacation, but went to work in the Magic City branch of Taichu Group. That is, Nie Yunxi and Chen Qingshuang's subordinates.

Zhang Li is studying seriously in the dormitory rented on campus. Her learning tasks are very heavy, not only the university courses, but also various learning materials in the company. "Ms. Jing... Liu Ziyu and Song Yan have broken up."

To be honest, Zhang Li was taken aback. Liu Ziyu is Song Yan's ex-girlfriend. She thought that Jing Gao asked her for Liu Ziyu's mobile phone number in order to trouble Liu Ziyu.

She is a college student who has not yet left school, with conscience and justice in her heart! And she dared to talk to Jing Gao like this, because she had accompanied Wang Hanjun to the deep city, had seen Jing Gao under heavy pressure, and knew what kind of person he was.

Jing Gao couldn't laugh or cry, "Xiao Li, where did you want to go? I asked her for something, uh..., I told you, you kept it secret! I made Gu Xixi angry before I went abroad. I'm going to bring a gift for me. She apologizes. I can't ask Han Jun about this, right? Although you know Gu Xixi, I guess you don't know what Gu Xixi really likes. Liu Ziyu must know!"

Zhang Li was relieved and patted her chest lightly. She had just finished taking a shower. The underside of the T-shirt was round, tall and straight, white as jade, with graceful curves. Shake with her movements. An apologetic whispered voice: "Ms. Jing, I'm sorry! I sent it to you on WeChat. Would you like me to say hello to Liu Ziyu first?"

"No. I'll just call it! Xiao Li, help me keep it secret!" Jing Gao refused Zhang Li's proposal. In his capacity, calling Liu Ziyu directly, she couldn't refuse.

Zhang Li couldn't help smiling. Under the lamp, the girl's face was pure and flawless, very beautiful, her slightly thick lips gave her an unspeakable **** taste, and she also had the greenness of a 20-year-old girl, "Know, Mr. Jing! "

In fact, Mr. Jing's request ~www.ltnovel.com~ looks quite scumbag to her. Sister Xixi is so beautiful, he wants to buy gifts to coax Sister Xixi, so he can see at a glance what he wants to do. But isn’t Jing always just like this? She didn't even think he was sorry for Sister Han Jun.

And keeping a secret with him made her feel a little strange in her heart. With her cleverness, she can't help but think back, didn't Jing always use this phone to attack me?

…

…

Liu Ziyu is a student of the School of Journalism. In the summer of her junior year, according to the school's arrangement, she is doing an internship in a new media company in Magic City. At ten o'clock in the evening, she was tired from the company for a day. She was almost falling asleep in the school dormitory. After receiving a call from Jing Gao, a Ji Ling heard Jing Gao self-report her house, and almost fell out of bed.

The layout of their dormitory is with a bed on the top and a desk on the bottom. She can't answer the phone in the dormitory in the middle of the night. She is going to pick it up in the bathroom. My legs felt a little soft when I climbed down. Finally, he went to the bathroom and said nervously: "Ms. Jing, what's the matter?" The voice trembles a little.

"Liu Ziyu, don't be afraid, you and Song Yan are over. I won't bother you. That's it, I want to ask about Gu Xixi's hobby?"
