Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 133 Million Investment
Loren's idea of ​​hiding one's identity is largely based on Virgin Islands regulations.

Companies established in the Virgin Islands do not need to pay taxes and do not need to disclose the shareholding structure and actual beneficiaries. The only record is the board of directors.

But they can also spend five hundred dollars to hire a local person to be the acting director, so that Tang De's name will not appear on any company information.

He can also complete the cool operation of owning a company he controls, hiring himself, and paying himself a large annual salary every year.

Of course, what Luo Lun said is only a general operation, and the details of tax avoidance and how to exploit loopholes in various countries' policies are the top priority.

But after learning this, Tang De really felt that he needed to consider Luo Lun's suggestion.

After all, his future business scope will definitely include film production companies and multinational companies. If he can reasonably avoid taxes, he will increase his profits a lot.

The multinational companies currently cooperating with Tokyo can also use this method to conduct offshore holdings and hide their identities.

However, after deciding on this approach, Tang De did not directly agree, because after shopping around, it was impossible for him to leave this matter to Luo Lun just by listening to him.

"Okay, Lauren, to be honest, I'm very interested, but how are the charges for these procedures calculated?"

"It's very cheap, only 20,000 US dollars, and I can help you get everything done. These steps are all I personally inspected some time ago, and they are absolutely effective. Microsoft, Google, and Apple all do it this way. It's just that It’s a little more complicated than this, but your company doesn’t need to be so troublesome. In fact, if your company’s annual profits exceed hundreds of millions of dollars in the future, then I would recommend that you directly establish a trust fund or a cross-holding company.”

"Presumably other business consulting companies have similar businesses." Tang De said bluntly: "I can't make a decision all at once. I have to think about it again."

"Of course they do, but most of them charge a lot of money." Luo Lun said confidently: "If it weren't for the fact that you are a teacher's client, I would not give you a discount."

After he finished speaking, he stood up with Tang De, but he patted his arm and said to himself with a meaningful smile: "In the capital society, even if Jesus came down to buy bow ties for his wings, he wouldn't be able to get a discount."

When Tang De walked out of the door, Luo Lun was still thinking about these words.

“Why did God buy bows for his wings?”

It wasn't until three seconds later that he suddenly remembered something and chased after him: "Hey, Tang, you haven't paid me the service fee yet!"

After paying the service fee, Tang De sat back in the car and revealed the answer to the mystery.

"Because God is a girl."

Then in Tom's doubtful eyes, Tang De laughed: "Don't you know that song? There is a very popular DJ recently, named God is a girl. Listen to more popular songs, Tom, otherwise you and the girl We don’t have anything to talk about.”

Tom didn't speak, just nodded, and then drove Tang De to the company.

In the next few days, Tang De consulted three more companies that ran similar businesses. They either had a lot of additional services, were expensive, or had cumbersome procedures.

There really is no company that can explain all the points as simply and directly as Lauren.

So Tang De returned to Luo Lun's business consulting company and met him again.

"What do you think? Is it the lowest price in New York?" Although Luo Lun has been worried these days, he is indeed very confident.

After all, the price is really low. If he hadn't been in urgent need of money now, he wouldn't have given Tang De such a big discount.

"Yes, it is indeed very low." Tang De said with a smile: "Your company should have just been established not long ago."

"Yeah...you are right." Lauren shrugged: "I have been abroad, on those Caribbean islands, going through the process, and now I have finally cleared everything up."

"No wonder." Tang De sat with him on the sofa: "So what size of company are you planning to build?"

When it comes to business, Luo Lun immediately became serious: "Of course, the bigger, the better. I believe that in the next few years, more companies will need our offshore services, such as Internet companies. Although computers are not yet popular, I think That day is not far away. The rise of an emerging industry will inevitably create a large number of rich people. Although I regretfully chose the lawyer profession because of my teacher, it doesn't mean that I can't get a share of the pie, right?"

"You're right." Tang De liked a forward-looking and self-aware guy like Luo Lun. If he couldn't be a gold digger, he would sell iron pickaxes.

The rise of one industry will inevitably lead to the revitalization of more ancillary industries, and Luo Lun's aim is very accurate.

There are countless myths about how Internet companies will create wealth in the future. Whether they are large companies or small companies, they all need to avoid taxes reasonably. Presumably, Luo Lun's foresight will bring him generous returns.

Tang De looked at the office again. In addition to various carefully decorated hanging paintings, even the bookshelf behind the desk was neatly arranged. The books were not brand new, but obvious creases could be seen. and stains.

In addition to the computer, there are various personal items on the desk, and there are slippers on the floor. It seems that Lauren has already regarded the company as his home.

A person's character can be seen from the environment around him.

Tang De could feel his drive to strive upward, which also made him more determined in his thoughts.

"Do you know anything about accounting?" But he asked before he made his decision.

"Of course!" Luo Lun laughed: "I have studied related majors before. I plan to wait for the company's business to expand, find more accountants in addition to sales, and start agency business."

"That's no problem, Luo Lun." Tang De smiled and stretched out his hand. Luo Lun thought he had confirmed the cooperation and immediately became happy. Just as the two parties held hands, Tang De said: "Do you need investment?"

"Huh?" Laurent was stunned.

Thirty minutes later, Luo Lun touched his forehead in disbelief. He felt as if he had been under the spell of some kind of wizard just now. He couldn't wait to confirm the investment after talking to Tang De.

But the future envisioned by Tang De is really tempting. Two million US dollars will be given in two years, with 30% of the equity. He will not participate in the company's decision-making and will only be responsible for dividends.

Not to mention that Tang De also owns an advertising company, which can advertise at cost price and directly get through the most difficult start-up stage.

This is undoubtedly a very exciting condition, and it was even because of this advertising company that Lauren made up her mind.

After all, Supreme Creative has gained a lot of fame in New York, and no advertisement that has passed through its hands has been unsuccessful.

Should he hold on to his equity, put all his efforts into making the company profitable, and then spend all the profits on advertising? Or should he directly exchange his equity for funds, rapidly expand his scale, rely on top advertisers to gain fame, and quickly become a dark horse in the industry.

These two options are simply no choice for a native American.

Just take a gamble and Xiali will turn into a Ferrari instantly.

It's just that Tang De's only request is that the holding company should be established in the Virgin Islands as Luo Lun said to avoid taxes.

Luo Lun naturally agreed, and the matter of offshore company holdings has officially entered the processing stage.

The reason why Tang De wanted to invest in Luo Lun was of course for the future. As his number of companies increased, the accounting business would become very troublesome, but he couldn't outsource everything.

Since Lauren is familiar with accounting business, he is naturally the best steward.

It just so happens that the accounting business and offshore holdings are put together. They are both companies owned by Tang De. They have their own people and can easily handle anything.

Afterwards, Tang De also made a special trip to the Heinz Group to chat with Henry about offshore holdings. Henry agreed with both hands. Although he had thought about it before, because the scale of Supreme Creative was not large, the tax could not be collected. If there were too many, I didn’t remind Tang De.

Now that Tang De realizes it himself and has contacted the company, of course he will not stop it. He very cooperatively allowed the offshore company under his name to jointly control Supreme Creative with Tang De.

A week later, Angel Declaration and the Tokyo-based multinational company "Nishun Brokerage" also completed operations in accordance with the offshore holding method.

Tang De officially became the man behind the two companies and recruited himself as CEO through the Angel Declaration with an annual salary of US$500,000.

In this way, he can claim to the outside world that he is the manager of the company, not the boss, and no one else can find out anyway.

After completing a series of operations, Tang De was still not idle, because the girls from Tokyo had arrived at the company and officially started training.

"Kane, how have they performed recently?" Tang De took the time to come to the training room and chat with Kane.

Kane answered truthfully: "There are several customer service ladies who performed very poorly. Their dancing and singing were terrible. I have given them a C score."

Within the company, Tang De established a secret scoring system, descending from S level to D level. The scoring perspective ranges from obedience to professionalism to ability level. Both the teacher and the agent are responsible for scoring.

Selection is conducted every month. If someone's score is too low, or if someone gets a grade of C or below, they will be expelled.

And if the ability score is not high, you can try for another month.

Tang De doesn't have time to slowly train these girls now, he must come up with a suitable combination as soon as possible, so obviously it is very necessary to get the girls to roll up.

"What about Tokyo?"

The group of girls headed by Kyoko Fukada also joined the training. Although it had only been a few days, Tang De also wanted to know about their situation.

"They... to be honest, they work very hard." Kane spread his hands and said, "They practice from morning to night every day. I heard from the teachers that they often finish training after ten o'clock in the evening."

"That's right, let these Tokyo girls motivate our customer service ladies. They are indeed a little lazy." Tang De liked this kind of healthy competition.

"It's just that the language between the two parties is not very fluent, and they have very few opportunities to communicate. I'm worried..."

"Indeed, if they don't communicate with other people for a long time, they won't be able to integrate. Let the etiquette teacher take on this role for an extra fee. I want to see within a month that they can skillfully use daily language to communicate with other people. People communicate.”

"Okay, no problem." There is nothing that cannot be solved with money. Kane actually had the same idea as Tang De when he said this.

It's just that he doesn't have the right to use the money, but Tang De does.

After finishing all this work, Tang De suddenly received a call from Giorgio, saying that he had some song demos that he wanted Tang De to listen to as part of his first album debut as a girl group.
