The Richest Man in the World of Film and Television

EA and Ubisoft are the top independent publishers in the world, they can independently publish games and game peripherals, and Baishida is now the largest DVD and game publishing seller in the United States.

Now Plants vs. Zombies game discs alone can sell at least 7000 million pounds, and new versions of the game can be released, which is a lot of money.

Coupled with the game's peripheral products that can sell several times or even ten times, it's no wonder that these game companies and agents don't want this game.

And now that Baishida is about to IPO (that is, go public), as long as it can become popular in the United States, it will be very helpful for him to go public next year. 1 times the income is equal to 20 times the market value increase. The timing of selling things is very important.

After not thinking for a long time, the person in charge of Baishida couldn't help but said: "Well, we now know that you will sell the full copyright of the game, Mr. Devinhill, you just want to tell us the prospect of this game by saying so much. Guangming, let me guess, well, maybe you want to sell the game so much, do you want to make a lot of money when the market is good, and if you invest in the stock market, it may double in value within a year, haha , Congratulations to you William, you are about to become a millionaire, but I still hope that you will be quick and tell us how much you want to sell the full copyright of the game."

"Sell from £[-] million"

"crash clatter"

Although everyone was prepared to a certain extent, everyone in the conference room was still noisy when they heard William say [-] million pounds.

Individual game agents even shouted loudly: "Are you crazy, Mr. Devinhill, [-] million pounds, are you crazy about money?"

William ignored the yelling of these people, but stared into the eyes of the person in charge of Best Star and said, "I think if Best Star earns back more than £3 million of business after spending £[-] million, it will definitely agree to it, even for you next year. Your plan would be of great help, wouldn't it, Mr. Wood."

Wood Morris' heart skipped a beat when William saw it, and he thought to himself: "Does this brat know something? It's impossible. The board of directors of Bestar just agreed to go public next year. How could this guy know?"

But Wood Morris was still taken aback by the words that suddenly came out of William's mouth. Seeing William's eyes dodge a little, he felt that his plan was clearly seen by William.

William, who was staring at Wood Morris's eyes, knew that he had made the right bet. Baishida had a plan to go public now, and Yuan Shikong and the others were going to go public next year.

Best Star in this era is really invincible all over the United States. Naifei was almost acquired by Best Star several times, but Best Star was too arrogant and the acquisition price was too low. These guys underestimated the development of online shopping. There is no shortage of speed and money, but it may not be so after March this year.

"I still have to report to the company's board of directors about the offer from Blockbuster. I can't make the decision for £1 million now. Mr. Devin Hill, I think we'll do it today. We'll talk about it in a few days." Feeling weak, he hurriedly changed the subject.

William looked at Wood Morris with a smile and said, "Okay, let's do that today, gentlemen, see you in 3 days. I'll wait for your good news, Mr. Wood Morris."

After finishing speaking, William greeted everyone in the conference room, ignored those game agents who wanted to drag him to book a game agency today, and left with Anthony, a senior partner of Yue Lida Law Firm, and his team.

William and his group of six went directly to the business suite he booked at the Hilton Hotel. This business suite, which costs 6 pounds a day, has an office area of ​​more than 600 square meters.

安东尼看着坐在自己身前这个才20岁不到的年轻人，看资料威廉?德文希尔是1980年12月7号出生，现在才19岁零2个月，安东尼忽然有了以后要是我儿子也像威廉?德文希尔一样就好了的想法。

"Congratulations, Mr. Devinhill, I think you are about to become the youngest billionaire in England. All this is incredible. William, you have successfully refreshed my view of young people in the new century. You really are Great, William, congratulations," Anthony exclaimed.

After receiving the wine glass that Anthony poured him, William said with a smile: "Thank you, Anthony, I think we are going to re-sign a contract now. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Our battlefield will be 3 days later. I received a lot of news." Shida has a listing plan, and now I need your law firm to fully cooperate with me, make a plan, release news, and attract more potential customers. Many times, things that are robbed by others can be sold at a better price."

Anthony nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Devinhill, the current hourly contract is no longer suitable, you need our Yuelida Law Firm to provide you with a full range of services, and we will help you make all the preparations of."

"OK, this transaction involves more than 1 million pounds. I think a 1% commission should satisfy your Yue Lida Law Firm. No matter how high it is, it will not be appropriate. And if this transaction can be successfully completed, I will I will hire you as my personal lawyer, what do you think, Anthony," William said looking into Anthony's eyes.

Anthony thought for a while that 1% is more than 100 million pounds. Although Yuelida Law Firm is one of the best law firms in England, Yuelida Law Firm is not the only partner in Yuelida Law Firm. There are dozens of partners, and hundreds of general partners. It is not difficult for their firm to deal with such an easy case of 100 million pounds, and even if they do, it is not his turn. The price of a lawyer is 30 pounds per year. Such a good opportunity does not come every year.

Anthony nodded before thinking about it for a long time: "No problem, Mr. Devinhill, our firm has accepted the case."

"So happy to cooperate Anthony" William stretched out his hand.

"Good cooperation, Mr. Devonhill," Anthony said, holding William's hand

William picked up the glass and clinked the glass with everyone, and then drank the scotch in the glass in one gulp.

William sighed in his heart: "I really didn't expect that I would become a billionaire so soon. With [-] million pounds, the plan after March this year can be implemented more smoothly."

After William and Anthony re-signed the contract, Anthony said: "Mr. Devonhill, since I am your lawyer now, I need to remind you of one thing"

"you say"

"I think you should let banks and insurance companies get involved now. With such a large amount of money, you have to ask the insurance company to guarantee the safety of the money for you, and you should also think about the issue of reasonable tax avoidance. Whether to receive the money in England or Receive payments in other countries"

"Is there any difference between these?" William wondered

"Yes, Mr. Devinhill, if you want to get the money as soon as possible, then spend some money to buy insurance from the insurance company. If the buyer fails to pay within the time stipulated in the contract, the insurance company will pay you first. Other insurances The company will figure it out."

"There is also the receiving bank. If you set up the fund account in England, then the money must be taxed. If it is set up in a secret bank or tax haven such as Switzerland or the British Virgin Islands, then basically You don’t have to pay taxes, and England can’t collect taxes globally like the United States.”

"It's just that it will be difficult for these funds to return to England. If you really want to return to England reasonably, the cost will not be lower than paying corporate income tax honestly. The only advantage of doing this is that you will spend and spend outside England in the future. Investing won't matter."

"But the biggest disadvantage of this method is that once the public learns that you haven't paid a cent of tax on this money, your reputation in English society will be greatly affected, and it may even be fatal. There are quite a few people who have been investigated for not paying a penny, even if you can’t do anything about it in the end, it’s still very troublesome to delay it for a few years.”

"My suggestion is that you can register a company in the British Virgin Islands and transfer half of your company's shares in England to the British Virgin Islands company, so that your company in England can pay half of the tax."

"In addition, small and medium-sized companies can get a tax rebate policy of 1.5 times the R&D cost on product R&D expenses. How much money have you spent on game R&D, Mr. Devinhill?"

There is such a good thing?William scratched his head and said, "It's really hard to say. I don't seem to spend any money except for food and electricity. I handle everything by myself. I designed the game and programmed it. Even the plants The images of zombies and zombies are all designed and drawn."

After listening to William's words, Anthony looked at William as if he saw an alien. He thought that the R & D cost of the game Plants vs. Zombies must be tens of millions of pounds.

Now you're telling me it didn't cost me money, to hell with that, Anthony feels like his head hurts now.

"Okay William, I know you are a genius, but I thought you could be a genius to this extent. I will sort out some other reasonable tax avoidance methods and report them to you in a few days."

William looked helplessly at Anthony, who looked at him like a monster, and said, "Well, I only have one request, and that is that everything must be legal."

Anthony nodded and agreed: "Of course, Mr. Devinhill, I guarantee that everything is reasonable and legal. No one can find loopholes in these tax avoidance methods legally. This is what our law firm is best at."

"That's good. By the way, Anthony, I need you to help me pass some of the data in the conference room today to the society. Of course, the final price will not be mentioned." William whispered to Anthony

"That's no problem, William, as long as you're not afraid that there will be a lot of paparazzi following you when you go out, I'm happy to help you with this."

William laughed and said, "Haha, I'm probably ready to be surrounded by the paparazzi and take photos, and I can't hide what happened today."

Anthony said: "William, as long as you have this preparation, I was just thinking about how to release you. You don't look like a 19-year-old kid at all. God bless, I just hope the outside world doesn't know too soon. We are not ready yet. Well, no one thought that Bai Shida would take such a fancy to this game, William, do you know some information?"

"Yes, I didn't expect that Beststar had really made a plan to go public. Everything was too sudden, and I wasn't ready. Anthony, I think we should finish the matter of the British Virgin Islands company in the afternoon. I always have a hunch that there is not much time left for us to arrange." William said worriedly
