Chapter 347 Tax haven
Regarding the specific shortage of air conditioners, Luo University quickly counted it, about [-] units, and there are still a small number of places that can be installed or not.

With a swipe of his pen, Lin Rui collected [-] units, and installed all the places that could be installed or not.

Not only that, since the decision to donate, the university is the alma mater, and the high school, junior high school, and elementary school are also the alma mater.

Two days ago, Lin Rui had asked the company to contact his alma mater of high school and junior high school to ask about their air conditioner gap.

In the end, it was decided to donate [-] air conditioners to the County High School.

Lin Rui Junior High School and Primary School are the same school, which is divided into primary school and junior high school. It is also the school where Lin's father currently teaches.

Of course, we can't forget here. After counting, we decided to donate [-] units.

In the end, from elementary school to university, Lin Rui didn't pull one, and just added one to make up a large order of [-] air conditioners.

Two days ago, the company took this big order and directly negotiated with several air-conditioning sales companies in the province.

In the end, Gree Air Conditioning gave a quotation of 200 million yuan, and this list is next.Next, they will mobilize a lot of manpower from various places to be responsible for the installation work.

Seeing that the day of the official donation was getting closer, Lin Rui suddenly made a low-key trip to Hong Kong.

It turned out that after he made the decision to take advantage of this donation, he disclosed his identity as a junior student and the CEO of Weiyang Technology.

It really doesn't matter if there is no official announcement. There are too many people in Los Angeles who know his identity, and he can't keep a low profile for too long.With the development of Weiyang Weibo, sooner or later the identity of the students will be known to the public.

Simply make it public this time to save trouble.

Not long after he made this decision, the system suddenly appeared and a task was issued.

System: After the user's identity and personal information are disclosed, every move will receive great attention and exposure.

In order to make the source of funds more rational and diversified, users are required to register no less than ten investment companies, which will be taken over by the system, which can be used as one of the ways to distribute rewards.

In the future, users can freely choose the channel for bonus distribution.

Lin Rui was stunned when he saw this task. His system's reward this month has only increased to two to three hundred million yuan. It seems like a lot, but it is all earned by the system in the stock, futures, and foreign exchange markets in his name.

The daily trading volume of large A-shares is hundreds of billions to trillions. Needless to say, the futures market, the foreign exchange market is worth trillions of dollars in and out every day.

It's just a drop of water to put his two or three billion in it, and it's hard to attract attention.

However, it cannot be said that the system is unnecessary. As he officially stands in the spotlight, these accounts registered with his personal identity may receive more attention.

Two or three billion is fine now, but wait for one billion or two billion or even more in the future.It is unreasonable to use a personal account again, and it is more appropriate to use the name of an investment company.

Wanting to understand this, Lin Rui didn't delay, and went directly to Hong Kong in a low-key manner before his identity was made public.

As one of the world's financial centers, Hong Kong has an extremely developed financial industry, and there are countless large law firms that act as agents for the registration of offshore companies. Among them, Lin Rui chose a large-scale and good-reputed one.

It's just that Lin Rui's request left these law firms that often act as agents for the registration of offshore companies stunned.

However, as a commercialized international metropolis, since customers have requests, no matter how outrageous they are, they will satisfy them. Besides, this is just a little too complicated, so it's not too outrageous.

Although the task of the system is to let him register ten investment companies.But Lin Rui was more cautious, in order to make the equity relationship more complicated and confuse those who saw it.

He frantically planned to register more than 100 investment companies at one time, 120 to be precise.

These investment companies cross-shareholding each other, and the equity relationship between each other is designed to make people dazzled and stunned.

Although these companies are all wholly owned by Lin Rui, 90.00% of the five companies seem to have nothing to do with Lin Rui on the surface.

They are all cross-shareholdings, cross-shareholdings, cross-shareholdings again...every company has gone through N rounds of cross-shareholdings.

Not to mention that Lin Rui was stunned, dazzled, and confused, even the most professional accountant might be at a loss.

But it doesn't matter how complicated it is, anyway, these companies are controlled by the system, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Not to mention that these investment companies are just a shell company and a tool for the system to make money. To legalize the source of money, the actual value and significance are not great.

The registration places of these 120 eight investment companies are varied, but basically they are all located in some of the world-renowned tax-free islands and tax havens.

Duty-free islands, as the name suggests, are islands or island countries that provide a good concealed environment for enterprises and actual controllers.

There is no need for reports, no annual inspection, no need to disclose the names of directors, no need to register shareholder information, and no need to operate locally.

Company registration information is highly confidential, protected by law, and even prohibited from being provided to foreign courts and governments.

There is no foreign exchange control, and currencies are freely convertible.

Taxes are extremely light and policies are extremely loose.Taxes are extremely low and extremely favorable. Generally, no income tax is levied, and double taxation can almost be avoided, or even completely exempted from taxation.

Moreover, Lin Rui was also very cautious when choosing a place of registration. Instead of choosing one or two places for centralized registration, he cast a wide net on tax havens around the world.

British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Bermuda, Antigua, Western Samoa and Niue in the South Pacific, Mauritius and Seychelles in the Indian Ocean...

These world-renowned tax-free islands belonging to different countries are all within the scope of registration of these 120 eight investment companies.

As a result, not only the equity relationship between these investment companies is more complicated, but it is also difficult for people to find the root cause.It can also easily and secretly enter the financial markets of various countries around the world without too much supervision.

These may not be needed by the system, but Lin Rui is still as cautious as possible, and doesn't care if it is useful or not, at least he can feel more at ease.

In fact, Lin Rui's worries are a bit unnecessary. These tax-free islands can attract so many companies to register every year. In addition to tax avoidance, the confidentiality system they specially designed for these companies is also jaw-dropping.

Take, for example, the most famous of these, the British Virgin Islands.

The British Virgin Islands is just a small British colony in the Caribbean Sea, with a land area of ​​only 150 square kilometers and a population of only 3 to [-].

This place is remote and has no resources. Only after a law "International Business Companies Act" was passed in 1984, allowing foreign companies to set up "offshore companies" on the island, all kinds of companies from all over the world flocked to the island with different purposes. come.

There are currently 35 offshore companies from all over the world registered on the island, and the number is still growing.

It is already a famous "tax haven" in the world.

To register a company here, as long as there is one shareholder, the information of the ultimate beneficiary of the company is absolutely confidential.

Moreover, shareholders do not need to write their names, and shares can be anonymous.

If you do not wish to disclose your name, the island can also provide you with the names of some foreigners as your representatives.

Therefore, to check the cards of these companies, the executive director found, such as Charlie, probably does not actually exist, so it is difficult to find the real shareholder.

Whoever holds the bearer shares of these companies is the boss of the company, and they can transfer them freely without approval.

There is no need for your accounts or annual reports, as long as you pay the money every year.

Register for 1000 US dollars, and pay another 1000 US dollars every year, that's it.It doesn't care about other taxes, it doesn't matter if you lose money, or how much money you make if you win.

For Lin Rui, such a loose system really stunned him, and he was even a little confused. Even the shares are not registered, and shareholders can also make false registrations, so he is not afraid that the company will become someone else's.

In fact, as a world-renowned tax haven, various rules and regulations and protection measures are extremely complete, so there are so many loopholes to exploit.Otherwise, black material would be flying all over the sky, and the street would be smelly. How could it attract so many companies to register here.

Besides, these companies registered by Lin Rui are handed over to the system for control. Whoever dares to have such an idea, Lin Rui can only admire his courage.

Of course, in addition to shell companies here, there are countless formal companies who come here to register offshore companies for a relaxed business environment, legal tax avoidance, or legal avoidance of some policy obstacles in their country.

For example, some domestic companies go overseas by registering offshore companies.

Some private enterprises have registered offshore companies and turned them into foreign-funded enterprises, so they can enjoy tax incentives.

Moreover, because there is no foreign exchange control here, the degree of confidentiality is high, and the transfer of funds is not restricted. It is also a paradise for international money laundering.

There are dozens of foreign banks in the Virgin Islands, and once the funds circulate on the island, black money becomes white money.

It is estimated that the funds laundered through these tax-free islands amount to as much as one or two trillion U.S. dollars every year.

More than 100 investment companies manipulated by the system are mixed in so many tax-free islands around the world. To be honest, they are secretive, unobtrusive, and extremely convenient.

Of course, these are Lin Rui's considerations, which may not be necessary for the system.

Finally, after signing countless contracts and documents and spending more than 300 million US dollars, the matter was finally settled.

Moreover, among the more than 100 investment companies, Lin Rui chose to register in Hong Kong, and registered with his real identity and real name.

From the perspective of equity relationship, it can be regarded as an affiliated subsidiary of Weiyang Technology, and it will be able to issue rewards and exchange funds in a legitimate manner in the future.

As for the company name, Lin Rui thought of the payment software "Weiyin Payment" that the company is developing.

The full name of this company is called "Weiyin International Investment Company".

Although it looks like a shell company, it is the holder of all the shares of another 120 seven investment companies registered in the tax-free island.

On the bright side, there are dazzling and complicated equity relationships among these companies.If you don't know the specific situation, you can't find this at all.

However, Lin Rui controlled more than 100 other investment companies through his wholly-owned "Weiyin International Investment Company" through dazzling equity relationships.

As for future rewards, the system can also transfer the reward funds to the account of "Weiyin International Investment Company" in the name of dividends and investment income, and then into Lin Rui's pocket.

Of course, the registration of these companies cannot be completed in a short time, and there are still many procedures to go through.

The rest are minor details, which can be communicated online or by phone. After this matter was settled, Lin Rui flew back to Los Angeles without any delay.

At this time in Los Angeles University, news about Weiyang Technology donating [-] air conditioners finally spread.

In fact, this matter cannot be concealed. The student union is responsible for counting the air-conditioning shortage, so the commotion is quite big, and there is no need to keep it secret.

Some students know the whole story after asking a little bit, or without asking.

Weiyang Technology will donate [-] air conditioners to Luo University. All classrooms, study rooms, and even dormitories that are not equipped with air conditioners will be equipped with air conditioners at one time.

At the beginning of this incident, many students did not believe it. They went to the school to confirm it, and then confirmed that it was true, and suddenly it was boiling.

Everyone rushed to tell each other, and then the whole school knew about it, and then the whole school was beaming, as if it was a festival.

Coupled with Lin Rui's reticence, his current identity is already semi-public, and it is easy to inquire about it.

So he didn't know Lin Rui's identity before, or heard something that he couldn't confirm, but now he suddenly knew it.

In the past, Lin Rui deliberately kept a low profile. Most of the Luo University students only knew that the boss of Weiyang Technology was an alumnus of Luo University, and they all thought he was a mature and stable business elite in his 40s and [-]s.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a third-year student of the school's Media College, about the same age as them, and a classmate.

This news was so shocking that many people couldn't believe it when they heard it just now, when they were still ignorant, only knew how to study, had no plans for the future, or skipped classes to play games.

Their classmate is already a well-known corporate boss with a net worth of billions.

Many people were a little stunned when they heard this news. It has been more than a month since April Fool's Day. Do you still want to trick me?

In the end, after many verifications, it was found that this was true, and it couldn't be truer, as evidenced by the classmate of Lin Rui, the CEO of Weiyang Technology.

This news shocked everyone more than Lin Rui's donation of air conditioners to the school. It is said that many students who love to play games are not good at playing games and want to study hard.

Many students who like to show off and pretend to be aggressive in front of their classmates suddenly feel that this pretending is boring and want to go out to start a business.

While these students were shocked and emotional, some emotions that could not be vented in reality were immediately put on the Internet.

Reflecting the Internet world, there was another rumor that the boss of Weiyang Technology was a third-year student at the University of Los Angeles' School of Communication, and it emerged on the Internet.

There were many such remarks on the Internet before, but Lin Rui himself never responded, and no authoritative person confirmed it. Everyone was dubious.
