Chapter 1063 The Harmless 'Poisonous Scheme'
"Isn't there a lot of threats of terrorist attacks in London during the Christmas season?"
Yang Cheng's words stunned William. He seemed to have guessed something, but he didn't dare to think about it. He stammered and asked, "You, what do you mean?"
Taking a deep breath, Yang Cheng pulled himself out first, "Don't worry, I'm not crazy enough to take the lives of countless people to help divert attention, I just need a shocking explosion to draw people's attention away from the royal family , I believe that the people in the Sixth Office must have such information in their hands, allowing the terrorists to carry out their plans, but you have to determine the target, and you must not explode in a place where there are people, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
His move can be called fighting poison with poison, but there is really no good way right now. William begged him. The best way in a short time will definitely have a backlash effect. This is inevitable. Anyway, he didn't expect to have the best of both worlds. In the face of the scandal of the British royal family, it is useless to expose the news of a few celebrities cheating and taking du.
William was frightened by Yang Cheng's plan, these businessmen are still ruthless, they can think of such a vicious trick, William can't help but feel a little scared, fortunately he and Yang Cheng are friends, otherwise. . .
But I have to admit that William has repeated it in his mind several times. It seems that there is no better way than this. It is a bit ruthless, but the effect is immediate. In front of the reputation of the royal family, everything else is not important, including Ordinary people's lives, there is no way, this is reality.
However, both William and Yang Cheng are not so mad, and dare not really take human life to do it, but the explosion is still possible, but the location of the explosion must be chosen well, so as to cause a sensation and not kill people. Of course, as for whether there will be any after the incident The terrorists jumped out and admitted that neither Yang Cheng nor William had ever worried about this. This group of guys full of violent brains would like to take all the dirty things in the world on themselves, otherwise they would not be able to show how powerful they are Woolen cloth.
"I know what to do. You must guide the public opinion well." William made up his mind, and his tone returned to normal.
Yang Cheng waved his hands irritably, "Understood, you deal with it as soon as possible, and my reports will follow."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng went to the Toutiao app first, and found that the home page recommendation was almost dominated by the 'Paradise' file. In just a few hours, the self-media people caught the hot news and wrote countless articles criticizing the UK. The royal family also has those American multinational corporations.
Just like what Yang Cheng thought, the common people will always focus on those who are huge and famous. As for the name of the Yang family, it is drowned in thousands of names, who can notice it?
As long as it doesn't implicate her family, Yang Cheng won't be so nervous, helping William and even helping him come up with such a poisonous plan,
After all, it was to make the royal family owe favors. Last time I took the initiative to present the 'Paradise' document, I got a verbal promise from Her Majesty Queen. If things are done this time, the scope of fulfillment of this promise must be doubled at least. Anyway, William must not be cheap, if it weren't for him, he would have already had breakfast downstairs by now.
Luo Yue never disturbed Yang Cheng, and sat quietly on the head of the bed, seemingly playing with her mobile phone, but the corner of her eye was always on Yang Cheng.
It wasn't until he put down his phone that he couldn't wait to ask, "I've read the news. The Paradise Papers are widely involved. Will it affect us?"
Yang Cheng smiled wryly, "This document almost included all the multinational corporations in the world, and we are no exception, but the law does not punish the public, and there is a big man in front of us, so our troubles are not that big, at least compared to In terms of damage to the reputation of the British royal family, even if we are attacked, the damage we suffer is minimal."
Luo Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, but what you said on the phone just now was so scary."
Yang Cheng froze for a moment, then remembered that Luo Yue had also heard the suggestion he made to William, "I can't help it, William wants me to help him divert the royal family from the vortex of public opinion, but his upper lip twitched." Touching the lower lip is easy to say, but hard to do. It is impossible for me to offend the entire Toutiao users for him and the British royal family. Once I do that, the Toutiao app will not be far from decline.
So I had to find another way and thought of a trick.
Don't worry, William knows well, and the conspiracy has a bottom line. Our purpose is to create a terrorist attack to divert the public's attention. As for how many people died, it can be faked. We will never joke about the lives of ordinary people, otherwise the conspiracy Once the British royal family is exposed, it will be completely finished. "
Luo Yue didn't know what was going on, so she nodded in a daze. She didn't know whether she really understood or pretended to understand. Yang Cheng didn't bother to explain in depth, and he didn't want to let Luo Yue get too dirty.
Yang Cheng suddenly remembered something, and quickly found the remote control to turn on the TV. It happened that the BBC was reporting the 'Paradise' documents, but they must have received a warning from their superiors, and the main target of the complaint was Apple, and they kept silent about the alleged tax avoidance of the royal family. .
Apple is also unlucky and has become a scapegoat for the British royal family. According to the news, Apple has found a new way to maintain an ultra-low tax rate through the small British island of Jersey, avoiding taxes of up to hundreds of millions of euros.
The news directly quoted the original content of the "Paradise" document, saying that Apple was severely cracked down by the European Union for its tax avoidance in Ireland in 2013, and then found a new tax avoidance scheme through the small British island of Jersey.
According to the report, before 2014, Apple had been using loopholes in the US and Irish tax laws to avoid taxes. Using this loophole, Apple transferred all sales of its production outside the US market to its Irish subsidiary. Originally, according to the normal tax amount, Apple It needs to pay 35% tax to the US government, or 12.5% tax to the Irish government, and Apple's tax avoidance mechanism can reduce the tax payment to about 5% of its overseas market profits, sometimes even lower than 2%.
After the incident was exposed, in order to maintain a low tax rate, Apple conducted an investigation through a legal consulting company in 2014, and finally chose the small British island of Jersey as its offshore financial center. Foreign companies are not subject to corporate income tax, which is far more effective than the tax avoidance practiced in Ireland.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng pinched his chin and dialed Weatherrow's phone number, and gave him an order to follow up on Apple's tax avoidance. With the guidance of public opinion from the "Sunday Times", at least on the land of the British Isles, The reputation of the British royal family can still be maintained for the time being. The next step is to see whether William’s actions go smoothly. If everything is successful, the British royal family will be able to escape from this vicious incident. Of course, Yang Cheng The credit of the main hero will not be forgotten.
Downstairs, Yang Sen and the others also saw the news while having breakfast, and they were discussing a new round of tax avoidance plan.
Seeing Yang Cheng come down, Yang Sen pointed to the news broadcast on TV and asked, "Did you see it too?"
Yang Cheng sat down, and the servant immediately put out empty plates, knives and forks, and brought a bread box for Yang Cheng to choose the staple food.
He took a piece of vanilla croissant casually, took a bite and said, "I see, this 'Paradise' document has too wide a scope, but it weakens the lethality. If it only targets a certain faction, the impact will be much greater."
Drinking hot milk, Liu Muqian agreed, "Xiaocheng is right. Don't look at the grandeur, but whose interests can it really hurt? I'm afraid that apart from the British royal family, big companies including Apple won't take it seriously. A statement is enough."
"In any case, we should plan ahead. Our tax avoidance plan has been in the Cayman Islands before. This time it is not only Cayman, but also some classic tax havens in the past, including Bermuda, Switzerland, Virgin Islands, Isle of Man, Cyprus, Jersey and others are on the list and have become the targets of people's attention. We can't take risks, and it is imperative to find new tax havens."
Yang Sen pouted, "What do you think?"
Yang Cheng had an idea upstairs, "Cambodia!"
Yang Yuanshan asked in surprise, "Cambodia? That poor, land-eating place can also avoid taxes?"
Yang Cheng smiled, "Grandpa, I'm afraid you don't understand that the "One Belt, One Road" initiative implemented by country Z has brought spring breeze to the whole of Asia. With the deepening of this initiative, many companies from country Z have accelerated their investment in Cambodia The footsteps, and the enthusiasm continues to rise, the investment atmosphere is very good.
Moreover, Cambodia implements a unified national taxation system, and no value-added tax is levied on goods exported to or services provided outside of Cambodia. This is one of the reasons why Cambodia's manufacturing industry is relatively developed.
According to a recently published report, Cambodia's GDP has been growing steadily for 10 consecutive years, with an average of about 7%. There is no luxury tax, land value tax, stamp duty, capital gains tax, etc. The most important thing is that this country is based in US dollars. As the official currency of the US dollar assets, the currency value is quite stable, and foreigners can also have permanent property rights when buying a house. To a certain extent, Cambodia’s advantages have completely surpassed the old tax havens like Cayman.
Of course, what I value the most is that Cambodia’s current political situation is stable and policy continuity is relatively strong. The government has been committed to improving the investment environment and attracting foreign investment, making foreign investment an important driving force for Cambodia’s economic development.
In such a market with rapid and stable economic growth, broad investment prospects, and full of vigor and vitality, we can get a share of the pie while avoiding taxes. Why not do it? "
Hearing what Yang Cheng said, it seemed that Cambodia really had the potential to become a new generation of tax avoidance 'paradise'. Liu Muqian was moved, thinking about going back and investigating, and then deciding whether to use the offshore companies he controlled. The company moved to Cambodia.
