Chapter 1297 An Embarrassing Situation, A Bright Move
As soon as Havoc said the word charity, the way Harry looked at him changed immediately. The fear from the beginning has turned into contempt now, and the reason for this change is entirely because he regards Hao Hao as such a group of people. Those so-called charitable fund guys.
Charitable funds, this is a group of existence that you can never get around as long as you have a certain amount of assets in the capital society. It's not that they will ask you for something, but in such a society, you really can't do without them. And the reason for saying this is entirely because there is such an existence as the Taxation Bureau in this world.
The U.S. Tax Service can be regarded as the most severe and violent agency in the United States. His violence is different from the police and the military. Because whether it is the police or the army, it is difficult to do anything against rich people like them. The tax bureau is just the opposite, they are targeting these rich people.
In this country where only death and paying taxes are eternal, even billionaires cannot escape the fate of paying taxes. You can choose to resist, but the result of resistance is definitely not something you can afford. And as long as anyone with a little brain will definitely not bury their billions of dollars for a little tax.
Of course, this does not mean that they are willing to pay such a tax. After all, the taxes in the United States have never been low, and especially for the rich like them, the taxes are so high that they are frighteningly high. Think about it, even more than 10% or even more of the money earned by oneself has to be handed over to the country. How can this satisfy these high-ranking people who claim to be the masters of the country?
And in this case, something like a charitable fund is one of the few places that can help them. After all, the law has allowed it, and participating in charity can reduce part of the tax. Moreover, there are so many parts that can be operated in the middle, and it is even said that as long as the means are concealed enough, a lot of funds can be concealed through this process.
This is why so many rich people like to name themselves as philanthropists, because it can indeed help them save a lot of wealth. It's like Bill Gates' so-called putting all his property into charity. This is not to say that he really has such courage that he can let go of his own offspring. It's because if he leaves these to his children as an inheritance, nearly half of the money will become the wealth of the US government. He's not stupid, so he wouldn't do it.
It is different in the name of charity. Set up a charitable fund and put money into it. Not only can you avoid the exploitation of the IRS, but you can leave enough wealth for your descendants to live comfortably for a few lifetimes, and at the same time, you can also leave a good reputation for your family. Only a fool would not be willing to do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Like Bill Gates, the old Osborne had to go through a similar process if he wanted Harry to inherit everything in his family. And this made Harry mistakenly think that Havoc was the one who did such things. And that naturally made Harry feel a little prejudiced against him.
Although it is said that charitable funds and the rich are a mutually beneficial relationship. They need the funds of the rich to make more money, and the rich also need them to reduce their losses. However, in such a relationship, the rich are the main body. And that was why Harry had a prejudice against him.
Even though he knew that he needed their existence to protect his own interests, from his point of view, he still couldn't help treating these people as parasites that lived on him. This made him chuckle, and said with a slight sarcasm.
"It turned out to be for charity. This is just right, Mr. Reinhardt. I plan to buy a batch of artworks through a charitable organization. I wonder if you have any relevant channels?"
"Feel sorry,
We don't do this. However, if you are interested in providing employment for some homeless people, we have some places for you. Believe me, they are all nice people. It's just that luck is not good enough! "
It's also quite interesting to fight with young people. So at this time, Havoc didn't take Harry's provocation to heart, but instead followed his words with interest. It is conceivable that what ridiculous things will happen to these two confronting men next. But at the moment when the situation was about to expand, old Osborne suddenly stepped in, directly preventing the development of the situation.
"Enough, Harry. Mind your manners. Also, Mr. Reinhardt doesn't have the kind of work you think he does."
"NanoNeuron is a high-tech company with remarkable achievements in mechanics, electrical engineering, medicine, and energy. They will be one of the most outstanding symbols of this century, so you have to put yourself right, Harry! "
There was no lack of warning in old Osborne's tone, but this made Harry stunned for a moment, and then looked at Havoc a little angrily. He felt he was being played. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for him to have any good looks towards Havoc. Seeing the change in his face, Hao Hao slightly shrugged his shoulders and smiled innocently at him.
"Sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear before. Our nanoneuron is a charity-based company that researches high-tech part-time. For us, helping those in need is the focus of our work. As for others, but It is just the source of funds necessary to support our first purpose. You can look at our company for this. We have hundreds of non-profit private hospitals and relief organizations around the world. These should be enough to prove what I said everything!"
How much it costs to open a hospital is no secret to many wealthy people. That's a huge expense, not just on equipment, but more on hiring people. Of course, the rewards a hospital can bring are enormous if run properly. After all, this is a place related to human health, and not many people will be too stingy when it comes to their own bodies.
But non-profit private hospitals are different. The hospital is a bottomless pit. If it does not make a profit, the investment every quarter will be a huge sum. And if there are really hundreds of families like Hao Hao said, then no matter how much wealth there is, it will definitely be unsustainable. Nobody would do such stupid things, least of all capitalists like them. So subconsciously, Harry thought Havoc was lying.
The bragging is all in front of him. If this is not a slap in the face, how can he be worthy of his enthusiasm? Harry almost immediately wanted to open fire on Havoc, but at this moment, Skye beside him exclaimed.
"I remembered, you were talking about the Nano Neuron Hospital, right?"
"You know them?" Harry, who was a little stunned, asked the question. He didn't know the reason for Skye's surprise, he was just surprised that Skye would speak at this time. Seeing Harry's astonishment, Skye stuck out his tongue, and quickly explained in a low voice.
"I read about them in the newspaper. The nanoneurons were placed under the public eye because of a terrorist attack. After investigation, it was found that this is indeed a not-for-profit private hospitals. They have used some new technology, which has a 100% cure rate in surgical operations. Moreover, they are open to everyone, and those with financial difficulties can exempt and reduce the cost of treatment as long as they apply. So far, only They have helped thousands of people in the Los Angeles area. And because of these reasons, they are very popular on the Internet, why, don’t you know?”
Such a question made Harry a little embarrassed. This young master usually only cares about how to play, how could he pay attention to these topics that ordinary people would pay attention to. But thanks to Skye's introduction, he was saved from the embarrassing situation of being slapped instead of being slapped in the face. In addition, Harry was not the kind of narrow-minded person, so soon, he straightened his mentality, and sincerely said this to Havoc.
"Sorry, Mr. Reinhardt. I apologize for my previous attitude. I did not expect you to be engaged in such a noble job. My previous attitude was really undeserved."
"That's all right, Mr. Osborne. People make mistakes, young man? Just make it right!"
Putting on the appearance of a senior, Hao Zhe smiled and patted his shoulder earnestly. And such an action naturally made Harry grin.
He must be scolding his mother at this moment in his heart. But because of his fault, he really couldn't complain to him at this time. But just when he didn't know how to continue this topic, a woman walked over gracefully.
"My dear, you are here. It was really easy for me to find for a while! I think you should wait for me!"
"Sorry, dear. I didn't know Mr. Osborne could be so enthusiastic!"
Hugging the woman's waist affectionately, Havoc introduced to Osborn and his son in such a fair and open manner.
"This is my fiancée, Natasha Romanov. Maybe you should know her. Before she retired, she was a member of the Skyhammer Avengers. Of course, now she is just an ordinary The woman. We are planning to solve it now, and hope that the two of you will come to our wedding when the time comes!"
"Of course, I'd love to!"
His eyes turned deeply on Natasha and Havoc, and old Osborn's gloomy expression made it impossible to see what he was thinking right now. What is certain is that his current mood must be quite complicated.
And Skye was also in a complicated mood. She never thought that the Black Widow would appear here in a fair and honest manner in her true identity? What exactly is she trying to do?
