Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 136 Island (2)

  The main reason for the idea of ​​purchasing an island is to avoid taxes.

  Facebook’s company is not registered in the United States, and it spent so much money on investment, but did not generate any profits. When calculating the tax rate, the New York government even gave him a part of the funds as an encouragement.

But Danshui Fund Company and Ye Dongqing himself were not so lucky. They still had to pay the taxes and fees they should bear. It used to be a money laundering business. He knew how to do it to maximize his benefits, such as donating part of his personal property to create a " Charitable Trust", and then used it and Freshwater Foundation to buy the private island under his feet.

   There is not much benefit in handing over tax funds to the IRS. It is better to replace them with real estate. This is legal tax avoidance and is protected by legal provisions.

Recently, he has made a lot of money from the securities and futures market. The Federal Taxation Bureau has already sent Ye Dongqing a letter, mainly asking about the 10 million US dollars he got from Edward when he was a child. Figure it out, he'll have to write a big check to someone at the IRS by mid-April.

The accounting firm also advised Ye Dongqing to think of a way to save money legally, and the money she will earn will probably increase in the future. For the sake of herself and future generations, buying such an island seems to be a good idea. As long as the United States is still there, there is no need to worry about it. No place to live for no reason, unless future generations can't even afford property taxes someday.

  Ordinary people are fine. Rich people often worry about taxation. With Ye Dongqing's status, it is necessary to consider these issues. Money is not brought by strong winds. Who wants to suddenly lose millions of dollars?

Since 1940, the unnamed island under his feet has been resold by the Morgan family. At this moment, it has nothing to do with the Morgan family, which has been glorious for a long time in history. However, behind the buildings, trees and other objects, there is still a miniature of the entire consortium era. Well, many people in New York know this island. Apart from the fact that it once belonged to the Morgan family, there is also a factor of high prices.

The price of more than 70 million U.S. dollars is slightly high, and it is generally within a reasonable level. If the island is divided into several pieces and the price is lowered, Ye Dongqing believes that some wealthy people will soon be attracted. Buying, but that is not the situation he wants to see. An island is owned by several people at the same time, so what is the point of buying an island? It is better to stay in the wealthy area of ​​Midtown.

We still need to think about it a little bit. If there is no accident, it should be difficult to sell at such a high price in the short term. Although Mr. Mike Howell guessed that the possibility of Ye Dongqing making a move is relatively small, he still performed enough etiquette , It took more than an hour during the visit, and all the places that should be introduced were introduced, and the service attitude was absolutely nothing to say.

This made Ye Dongqing have a good impression of him, and told him before getting in the car: "I will give you an accurate answer after I think about it. The main problem is that taking out so much money at once will cause my company to encounter a little trouble. If it The owner of the house is willing to reduce the price to 65 million US dollars, and agrees to let me pay it in four years, and now I can tell you that I can buy it.

  Those buildings are too old, and the later maintenance will cost a lot of money. Ask me first, if you think it can be sold, then continue to talk about it. You understand what I mean, right? "

After hanging for a few days, the first potential buyer appeared. Mr. Mike Howell felt more and more that the island would not be sold, so he showed some confidence: "Sixty-five million dollars? I want to promise you too, It's a pity that I don't think its owner will agree, but as for the installment matter, it is possible to agree, and I will call the seller later to convey your intentions, OK?"

   "Okay, it's the call from before, please let me know if you have any news."

Sellers set high prices, buyers counter-offer, business is like this. Buying an island is not buying tofu. Ye Dongqing opened his mouth to bargain for nearly 10 million US dollars. It is strange that the real estate agent Mike can agree on the spot. After all, it is not his own island, so he can’t do it. host.

  Running all the way here to take a look around, he understood almost everything he needed to know. After speaking, he drove away and went to visit near the famous wealthy area of ​​Long Island.

Almost all villas occupy a large area, with a garden in the front and a swimming pool in the back. You may feel good before visiting the island, but now Ye Dongqing thinks they are a bit small. There is no vegetable garden, no small pasture for cattle and sheep, and more Not to mention the horseback rides along the coast.

   You can buy it or not, it’s not a big deal, it mainly depends on whether the price and payment method can satisfy him.

As long as you have enough money in your hand, there are too many targets to choose from, such as a large island in the Hawaiian Islands, or a certain island in Europe. Regardless of the distance from New York, the scenery and environment are probably better than what you just saw. That small island is beautiful, and maybe it doesn't have to endure the long winter, so it is more suitable for vacation.

The quotation of 65 million US dollars is not low. If it cannot be sold for a long time, Ye Dongqing may have the opportunity to get the private island. Thanks to its location, if it is not very close to New York, it can It's hard to say if it can't be sold for two million US dollars. The excellent location makes the land price soar, which is suitable for heirlooms. There is no need to consider the investment price. Ye Dongqing can make more money than investing in a stock if he picks a stock at random.

  If you want to ask why you don’t wait a few years before buying, he will answer that you will lose the opportunity to enjoy it for a few years. It is very rich people’s way of thinking that enjoying life is more important than money.

  **************

  No one knew that Ye Dongqing went to investigate an island, and he didn't plan to go to the company for the next few days. On the way back, he thought about it carefully, but he couldn't find the destination he wanted to go on vacation.

Try to find a certain balance between life and work, so after returning home and planning, he packed a few clothes into the suitcase under the envious gaze of Laura, and asked the bank assistant to help book a ticket to the Bahamas Air tickets, plan to rent a yacht there to go fishing, and take a look at the nearby private islands that can be invested. No trouble with money flow.

Laura envied and hated this, she still had a few days to serve her two-month sentence, and complained that Ye Dongqing didn't wait for her, so she sat there angrily until Ye Dongqing left, and didn't help him. I plan to pack my luggage, hoping that this guy can see his dissatisfaction and speak out to appease him.

However, he still easily went out on vacation alone. As the backyard of rich Americans, the Bahamas has long been developed into a tourist resort in this era, and the security situation is not bad. Due to the visa-free policy of the two countries, bringing This passport can fly to play
