Rebirth of the Financial Crisis Sweeping the World

  Chapter 449 449 The two most expensive villas in San Francisco!

  April 10, morning.

  Everyone in the hotel was eating breakfast. Wang Guanxi said, “I’m going to buy a villa in San Francisco, so that I don’t need to stay in a hotel when I come to Silicon Valley. I always feel a little uncomfortable in a hotel.”

Jennifer Lawrence put down his fork and said excitedly: "I don't think it's accustomed to it. Maybe I have lived in Lanai Island in Hawaii for a long time. San Francisco is near the sea. It's also very fun. It's not bad to buy a villa here. "

Ford Ingrid also said: "Like Jennifer, I don’t like staying in hotels much after staying on Lanai Island. I have been to San Francisco before. Many places are quite fun. Buy here. A big villa would be great."

  Luo Baowen said indifferently: “I live in a hotel and a villa. It’s almost the same, but it’s not as good as Lanai Island.”

Zhang Xiaolei smiled and said: "Like Miss Luo, I don’t have high requirements for a place to live. I am used to staying in hotels often, but after staying in Lanai for a period of time, I found that there is no place like Lanai in Hawaii. Comparable"

  Before everyone was on vacation in Hawaii, Wang Guanxi spent US$550 million to buy Lanai from the media tycoon Murdoch, and everyone lived in Lanai for a period of time.

  The blue sea and blue sky of Lanai Island, tranquil and quiet, open and pleasant, without the hustle and bustle of the city, wild animals, flowers and plants, a primitive ecological environment, just like a paradise.

  Everyone lingered, and the aftertaste was endless.

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said: “In the future, everyone can go to Lanai for a holiday once a year, where will the original ecological environment be maintained.”

   Then he said: "San Francisco, where are the better villas?"

Ford Ingrid thought for a while and said: "San Francisco has the top ten wealthy areas, Russian mountains, Silicon Valley, Pacific Heights, Tiburon, Sausalito, Woodside, Presdio Heights, and Nob Mountains. , Los Altos, San Mateo."

  "Wang, you can buy a villa in Silicon Valley"

This Silicon Valley is located south of San Francisco, surrounded by many high-tech electronics and computer companies. The headquarters of Apple Mobile and Google are all located in Silicon Valley, and there are many world-renowned schools in Silicon Valley. In addition, the Silicon Valley is filled with wealthy Americans. , Where the climate is better, the supporting facilities are also complete, and the social security in the wealthy area is good.

Wang Guanxi opened Google Maps and found that the Silicon Valley area is densely packed. Each area is square and square. The houses are all similar in appearance. They just changed the colors. After thinking about it, he thought it would be better to buy a villa on a high ground. , It’s quiet and there are few people living, it’s best to be near the sea, so he said: "I’d better buy a big villa in the highlands or mountains, a little closer to the sea."

  Ford Ingrid checked it on the Internet and said, "Wang, then buy it in Pacific Heights. Now many villas are listed for sale. I will help you to see which one is suitable."

  Wang Guanxi nodded, and then spoke to the nearby horses: "Are you going to buy a luxury house in San Francisco?"

  The United States has a lot of land and a low population density. Houses are much cheaper than those in Hong Kong. These horses have already taken a lot of bonuses.

   Wu Zhanhai thought for a while and said: "BOSS, this American house has to pay real estate tax. I don’t often live in San Francisco, so let’s forget it."

  Wu Hongsheng also said: "Yes, I have to pay property tax every year. I heard that 1% to 3% is the same as cutting leeks."

  Li Guangyu echoed: "Yes, and the money earned from investing in a house has to be cut by the tax bureau."

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said: “In fact, there are many ways to avoid tax, tax deduction, but it’s a bit troublesome.”

  Lu Jianyan: “In fact, money is stored in the bank and cannot win inflation. It is very risky to buy stocks, but it is still possible to invest in some real estate.”

  Guan Zhenyi: "I don't like the American real estate tax very much. There is also a capital gains tax."

  Lin Jiyang: "Yeah, I don't like it either, too fucking"

At this time, Zhang Xiaolei said: "Actually, if you buy a one million villa, you don’t need to pay property tax every year. You can deduct the property tax when you travel to the United States, make air tickets, and spend in hotels. You can invest in American real estate in the name of a company. The company's various expenses can be tax deductible. The capital gains tax can also be avoided with Clause 1031. As long as you sell the house, you can buy one in six months. ."

   Wu Zhanhai: “Mr. Zhang, that’s so troublesome. The most annoying is tax filing and accounting, and let the lawyer cut a wave of leeks.”

  Zhang Xiaolei said awkwardly: "Okay"

At this time, Luo Baowen said, “There is also a comprehensive tax exemption for real estate tax. For example, properties owned or owned by government public departments, non-profit organizations, educational organizations, and religious organizations are exempt from real estate tax. In fact, you just need to set up a non-profit organization. , Such as the foundation..."

  Wu Zhanhai, Lu Jianyan and others were in deep thought. This proposal is good, but the management cost and operating cost of the foundation may exceed the real estate tax.

Wang Guanxi smiled and said: "In fact, you can all make a trust fund and invest in real estate in the name of a non-profit organization. Non-profit organizations can avoid all taxes if they spend 5%. My Crown Trust can help you set up a special trust fund. Your trust assets are at your disposal, and you decide how to use them. The beneficiaries of the trust are you, or your family members, so even in the future. Bankruptcy, these trust assets will not be affected, and your relatives can still benefit and inherit."

  Wang Guanxi’s current Crown Charity Fund and the Crown Trust Foundation are non-profit organizations that enjoy tax exemption and are nominally charitable organizations.

  Businesses owned or owned by non-profit organizations are exempt from property tax.

  The Crown Trust, as a non-profit organization, has tax exemption, and holding these property rights is not subject to real estate tax.

  For example, if you hold the property right of a villa, you can let the Crown Trust Fund rent it to yourself at a rent of $1.

If the Crown Trust Fund, the Crown Charity Fund, makes a profit of 10 billion U.S. dollars every year, assuming that the assets increase from 10 billion U.S. dollars to 20 billion U.S. dollars, the investment return of 10 billion U.S. dollars belongs to capital appreciation. According to normal taxes, it can pay a lot. Taxes, but the two foundations don’t have to pay taxes on capital gains if they pay $1 billion.

  The $1 billion can be spent on anything. You can buy airplanes, buy yachts, pay the salaries of foundation members, donate money, or donate to your own foundation.

As long as you spend 5% of your total assets, you don’t need to pay capital gains taxes. As long as you donate the money, let’s say donate 800 million US dollars in supplies to Ford Motor Company, Macy’s, Hawaii Hotel, Huntington Bank, and Fifth Third Bank. , Silicon Valley Bank, East West Bank, Bank of Hawaii, let them reward employees, improve the welfare of these employees, and then let these companies donate 800 million US dollars to the Crown Charity Fund, the Crown Trust Foundation, these companies can also be tax deducted 800 million US dollars.

  Now Wang Guanxi has put a lot of assets in the foundation, through the foundation to control the enterprise, control the consortium, and build the interest ecosystem.

He also hopes that his horses will pass on their assets as trusts and be managed by the Crown Trust Foundation. Although they are made into trust assets, these trust assets have nothing to do with them in law, but they have no relation to their trust assets. They still have the right to control, how to use it, they still have the final say.

  "No matter how you toss or go bankrupt in the future, these trust assets will not be affected. You and your relatives will have control over these trust assets and how to use them."

  Wang Guanxi’s words immediately made the horses wake up, and they all agreed to make part of their assets into trust.

  So Wang Guanxi specifically turned the 6 funds under the Crown Trust into their trust funds, and then the horses put out millions of dollars and donated them to their trust funds.

  The next day, April 11.

  Everyone came to the Pacific Heights, the most well-known rich area in the United States.

  This is the most expensive residential area in San Francisco, gathering many super-rich and celebrities.

  In the Pacific Heights, you can overlook the San Francisco Bay.

  Wang Guanxi’s charitable foundation holds 5.5% of the equity of Horton House Company, which can be regarded as a major shareholder, and has established a director in Horton House Company.

  Holden House Company's San Francisco branch president, at this moment is like a small entourage, the atmosphere does not dare to kick.

  Because of Donald Horton, the chairman of the Horton House Company, after he learned that Mr. Wang was going to buy a villa, he personally called him and asked him to accompany him. If Mr. Wang is not satisfied, he can go away.

   Soon everyone came to one place, and the president of the branch said respectfully: "Mr. Wang, this is the best luxury residential area in Pacific Heights."

  This residence is located on a huge flat land at the top of a hill. It enjoys a perfect location. It has an unobstructed 180-degree view. The Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, and the vast waters of San Francisco Bay are all within sight.

  Wang Guanxi nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good here."

The president of the branch quickly said: "Mr. Wang, many Americans are eager to live in this famous Pacific Heights, because it is not only a symbol of identity and status, but also allows people to have a unique and high-quality life. Here, during the day. You can enjoy the panoramic view of the bay and the beautiful houses, and the security at night is also very good."

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said, "Let’s go and take a look in the residential area."

  "Okay, Mr. Wang, gentlemen and ladies, please here!"

  Everyone walks and chats.

  "Mr. Wang, this Pacific Heights is full of Victorian-style houses and is the most expensive residential area in San Francisco. Because the San Francisco Bay overlooked by the Pacific Heights is very beautiful, the people of San Francisco think it is worth the money...

  To enjoy a distinguished life here is the dream of many celebrities and rich people. A few years after the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, many of the richest residents in the city moved from Nob Hill to Pacific Heights, which changed the appearance and image of this place forever.

  Since then, Pacific Heights has become an enclave for wealthy families. The Getty family and the Treena family are both wealthy families who have settled here for decades. "

  "Only here in San Francisco can you be worthy of Mr. Wang's worth."

   "Well, let me take a closer look at which one I want!"

  There are two villas here, both of which are for sale. Wang Guanxi should take a good look.

  The house in front of you has an eye-catching and majestic exterior, with a beautiful white academy-style exterior wall, with exquisite relief decorations, and decorative bamboo, just like soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the porch.

The president of the branch said: "Mr. Wang, this mansion was originally designed by the famous architect James Francis Dunn in 1901. Mr. Dunn has designed several luxurious buildings in the city and has a reputation for it. Now, this place The house has been completely converted by Los Angeles architect Paul McLean into a modern architectural masterpiece of the 21st century."

   "Well, let's go in and take a look." Wang Guanxi couldn't help but become curious.

  Then everyone walked into the room, the luxurious and high-quality decoration was refreshing.

  The layout of 7 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms is quite comfortable and wide, and every detail improves the quality of living.

  Modern facilities make the kitchen full of modern style, the living room enjoys a beautiful view, the magnificent water view is right under your eyes, and the natural landscape is intertwined into an unfading picture. You can not only enjoy the warm style in the bedroom, but also go to the large terrace to overlook the moving scenery and completely relax.

  Wang Guanxi gave a satisfied smile.

The president of the branch quickly said: "Mr. Wang, this place is called the "Billionaire District." All residents are billionaires, including many old technology giants, such as Oracle founder Larry Ellison, and of course there are also technology circles. Upstarts, such as Apple’s chief design officer Jonny Ivey and Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman."

  "The current price is 20 million U.S. dollars."

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said, "I want this one, let’s take a look at the next one."

  "Okay, Mr. Wang"

   Then everyone came to the next building.

  This is a Queen Anne-style mansion with an area of ​​about 1,250 square meters. The asking price is US$30 million (approximately 187 million yuan).

  From this four-story house built in 1894, you can see the scenery of San Francisco Bay, Angel Island and Alcatraz Island.

  The residence has seven bedrooms, a four-car garage, maid’s suite, gym and spa equipment.

  The interior decoration is also very luxurious, and there is a beautiful garden room.

  Wang Guanxi was very satisfied, and said: “I want all of these two houses. You will arrange for me to enclose all the two villas and expand them. I will also buy the idle land around them.”

  "Yes, Mr. Wang" branch president is very excited and excited.

  I didn’t expect it to be done so soon.

  Next, he purchased the idle land nearby, and it was even faster, because he had friends in the government department, and he quickly made an oral agreement.

  The sellers of these two luxury houses were commissioned by Horton Housing Company to sell, and the procedures were simple.

  Wang Guanxi directly transferred 100 million US dollars from the No. 1 Fund to the Crown Trust, and then the Crown Trust paid 50 million US dollars.

  The remaining 50 million US dollars is the daily operating funds of the Crown Trust Foundation.
