Chapter 1553: Everyone's Happy

It was still very early, and it felt like the sky was getting brighter. However, after the man got up, several girls on the big bed also got up one after another. Although there were only six of them, they were clearly divided into three small circles. The surface is harmonious, more or less with some precautions.

After all, the fashion resources available to Asians in the West are limited after all, and the top six of them also need to fight for it.

The two Korean girls, Quan Youzhen and Shen Caihui, went downstairs first. When they met a waitress, they directly asked the man where he was. They still had something to ask him to make up his mind.

The maid took them to a living room downstairs, where the door was open, and the two girls looked up, only to find that there were people in the room.

The man is sitting alone on one side of the sofa, and on the side sofa is the housekeeper Angore. In addition, on the opposite couch, the same two Asian women, even though one has long hair and the other has short hair, they can still be seen at a glance. I understand that they are the kind of sisters, and even though they are a little older, the two Korean girls can't fault their appearance or temperament. It is inevitable that they will be troublesome. It would be great if they can maintain this level in the future.

But, uh, the one with the long hair, with red eyes, was crying.

Noticing that they were poking their heads, the housekeeper made a dismissive wink, and the two girls walked away knowingly.

In the living room, I also noticed the two girls probing their heads. Simon ignored it and continued to lean on the sofa with his legs crossed. Hearing the woman across from him sobbing and speaking intermittently, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Breaking things.

The last time Simon promised Yu Zhijin that he could go to Canada to see her two sons, the woman went, not only quietly left her cash savings to the two sons, but also the jewelry accumulated in private, hoping that the two boys If you are short of expenses, you can sell them for money.

The two boys quickly exchanged them, and then, because they could not provide specific evidence of the origin of the jewelry, they were regarded as thieves by the owner of the pawn shop. In fact, they also wanted to steal the money of the two Asian boys.

The two boys are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they are probably used to being arrogant since they were young, and they started fighting with others.

Then, the eldest son had a leg broken and called the police.

This was yesterday afternoon.

The housekeeper has already arranged to fish them out. Both boys were injured and have been sent to the hospital.

Then there is the present.

Glancing at the woman who was still crying, Simon looked at his arm: "Who will start the fight first?"

Before the housekeeper could speak, Yu Zhijin rushed to say: "It must be someone else, Xiaoguang is very obedient and never fights with others."

Simon just looked at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper said softly: "Ms. Yu's eldest son moved first, using the chair, and the pawnbroker's skull was fractured."

Yu Zhijin suddenly cried again.

Yu Caisang was worried that the man would be angry, so she finally couldn't help it, and lightly reprimanded: "Don't cry, you are both good sons who have been spoiled by you, don't you really know what virtues the two of them have since they were young?"

When the elder sister spoke, Yu Zhijin didn't dare to cry anymore, but looked at the man beggingly again, and couldn't help but explain: "This time, but this time, it's not Xiaoguang's fault, it's someone else trying to steal their things."

There was a bit of interest in Simon's eyes: "Then what do you want to do?"

Seeing that the man was not angry, Yu Zhijin asked this question, but she didn't dare to answer, subconsciously looking at her sister again.

Yu Caisang actually doesn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing. She would rather not have this sister now. After all, the man next to him seems to be easy to talk to, but she used to be in that class, and she has seen similar characters. Smiling tiger.

After a little deliberation, Yu Caisang still said: "Simon, since both parties are wrong in this matter, or else, forget it."

If it was in the past, even if it was to maintain the dignity of the family, it would definitely not be forgotten. But now, a group of their women are all hairless phoenixes, and this man just treats them as playthings in his bones. The smartest way is of course to expose the matter.

"Forget it," Simon said casually, and then looked at the red-eyed fish brocade: "The problem is, you secretly took the things I gave you to raise your son, and it's not my son, how should this matter be counted? "

Hearing what the man said, Yu Zhijin's body stiffened, and soon softened, all the way to the carpet, and crawled towards the man's feet: "Simon, you can punish me however you want, please, I, I will never Dare."

Simon picked the woman's chin with his toes, and said: "Since they are actually raised, you don't care about it in the future, it's mine." He ignored the woman and turned to the housekeeper: "Arrange English courses for them, half a year Time to fix the language, if you are lazy." After thinking about it, Simon's mouth flashed a bit of evil, and he reached out and pulled off the belt on his waist and put it on the coffee table next to him: "Send it over, if it doesn't work, let someone beat it until you don't be lazy. "

The woman on the ground began to cry again: "Simon, please."

Simon ignored him and said, "After half a year, send them to the United States to join the army. Since you can fight so well, it's not bad to be a soldier. It just so happens that in recent years, many areas have not stopped, and you have the opportunity to participate in actual combat."

"woo woo"

After listening to Simon's instructions, the housekeeper took the belt and nodded slightly.

Simon stretched out his hand and pulled the woman on the ground over, and hugged her in his arms: "Don't cry, I'm just kidding with you, since I raise them as sons, I just want them to grow up, but I won't let them die."

The woman obviously didn't believe it, she tried her best to stick to Simon's body, and begged: "Simon, please, Xiaoguang and the others can't bear the pain of a single soldier."

Simon held up the woman's face: "Then what do you say?"

What to do, I can't stand you taking my money to raise two trash. "

The woman burst into tears more frequently, and quickly promised: "I won't support them anymore, let them find a job in the future and support themselves, Simon, please."

Simon kissed the woman on the lips, and said with a smile: "Women are the most deceptive, especially if you are the one who spoils your son so much, so I don't believe it. It's settled like that, or, this belt, I will What do you think of having someone go over there and strangle them so you don't get upset at the thought of two scumbags?"

Yu Caisang trembled again, keenly realizing that the man wasn't joking, so she didn't dare to speak.

"That's good," Simon lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips: "Okay, get up, and go to breakfast with me."

Quan Youzhen and Shen Caihui didn't see a man again until after breakfast, talking about their own affairs, the two girls wanted to immigrate to the United States.

Human nature.

However, if it's Jian Xin and the others, Simon doesn't care. Simon doesn't agree to the two girls.

At present, there is a lot of publicity in South Korea about the two girls participating in Victoria's Secret. They have become the pride of South Korea again. Such a pride, if they immigrate suddenly, it will be very troublesome.

How could proud Koreans not want to be Koreans.

Speaking of this, Simon can't help but think of an interesting incident. In the past, the Koreans spent 20 million US dollars, and finally sent one of their own citizens into space in the past few years, realizing South Korea's conquest of the entire universe. The first small step, the whole people are excited.

Then, the South Korean female astronaut who defeated tens of thousands of nationals to get the qualifications and spent 20 million yuan to be the first to step into space, emigrated, and she was still the United States.

Have no idea.

Voting with your feet is the most powerless thing to refute.

After dealing with these little things like housework, Simon rushed to Manhattan by helicopter.

Today is mainly the agenda of Westeros Corporation, involving the 'stock replacement' plan.

It is already December, and as of the end of November, the entire Westeros system has completed a "stock replacement" plan of 210 billion U.S. dollars. It is estimated that after the latest month, this figure will be fixed at around 230 billion U.S. dollars.

Among them, 70% are stock assets and 30% are cash.

The cash ratio is much higher than Simon's initial expectation, but since someone can take it out, this side will definitely not refuse it.

All in all, it is estimated that there are 230 billion US dollars of assets all over the world, in all aspects, and of various types.

It can be said that after such an operation, coupled with the accumulation of the Westeros system in the past, the entire Westeros system has now become more and more like an octopus-like super chaebol. Of course, it is not the ultimate form, because it is still far from Simon's goal of controlling the entire world economy.

This matter is not urgent, at most twenty or thirty years.

Now that so much has been obtained in the first year, next year, this plan will be temporarily suspended.

After all, just like money, a person has enough money, but if he cannot stimulate the energy represented by the corresponding money, he does not necessarily have the social power and public influence represented by the money.

This is what we often call upstarts.

Why do old money families in the West look down on some emerging rich people, even though these rich people have much more wealth than them? In addition to the inherent pride of the aristocratic family, another reason is that these newly rich people often do not have the strong social influence that their old money has.

In short, it is the result of decades and hundreds of years of accumulation.

Let’s talk about the stock replacement plan this time. It is estimated that the wealth of 230 billion U.S. dollars obtained throughout the year, if you don’t manage it patiently, just let them be placed there as equity or cash status, then these assets are just a pile of wealth, or even, Instead, these wealth will be used by the custodians and become a tool for them to grab power and interests.

Simon will not allow this to happen.

As for how to activate the influence represented by this wealth, that is a matter of slow work and careful work.

In addition, there is another reason for Simon to suspend the stock replacement plan, which is that the US stock market has continued to rise rapidly, and it is now in a bubble state again.

It stands to reason that exchanging bubbles for assets is obviously a better business.

It's just that, in this world, maybe the rich people are not as smart as ordinary people think, but if they are stupid, there are definitely not many. Therefore, even if it is forced to continue here, the effect will not be very good, and it is more likely to exchange for a large number of junk assets. Furthermore, if the stock market crashes unexpectedly again due to this replacement of the Westeros system, then Simon will become the target of public criticism, which is also the most important reason.

So Simon chose to pause.

In addition to sorting out the acquired assets with the Westeros team today, there is another thing, which is a contact with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and even the Ministry of Finance and Congress have sent representatives.

It's still this matter of assets exceeding 200 billion U.S. dollars.

The public who pays a little attention to financial information can know about the launch of the stock replacement plan by Westeros Corporation. Therefore, one of the things that everyone pays most attention to this year is, has Simon Westeros paid taxes?

Taxes and death are two eternal topics in the United States.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in Simon's previous impression, was definitely the most powerful government department in the United States, not even one of them in some sayings, with its own law enforcement powers and its own

It has its own army, even has its own prison, Barabara, which is frightening. Even if the US government wants to arrest gangsters, it can only go through IRS.

However, after so many years, just as Simon has become more and more familiar with the American system, similarly, he has gradually become more familiar with the IRS.

So there is no awe.

In fact, there is no awe at all. The gnashing of teeth that most Americans talk about IRS is not awe at all, but just disgust.

As for the US government using IRS to deal with gangsters, many people tend to get one thing wrong.

In this case, the powerful one is the US government, and IRS is just a tool. Just like the Chinese are more familiar with, do you want to live or die when you run into business, taxation, fire protection and sanitation?

irs, the same kind.

The same is true for people who are always deterred by tax inspections, whether in reality or in film and television dramas.

IRS was a very handy tool in the United States at that time when it was needed.

As for the IRS itself, if this department is really so powerful, why are so many rich people able to avoid so much tax with ease, so that the richest group of people in the United States have the lowest tax rate?

Because of reasonable tax avoidance?

fart.

Anyone with a little normal thinking should be able to understand that it is absolutely abnormal for a super rich man with a net worth of tens of billions or hundreds of billions not only not to pay taxes for a year, but even to get an extra tax refund under certain circumstances.

Because this can only show that there are too many tax loopholes in a country, which is unreasonable.

Of course, no matter how unreasonable it is, as long as it’s legal, it’s fine, right?

So the question arises again?

Why are you afraid that someone will suddenly ask you to check your taxes, whether it is a film or television drama or real life, whether you are a gangster or a rich man, whether you are a small business owner or a middle-class person?

Since it's all legal, why be afraid?

Is it reasonable to infer that because so many people are actually evading taxes, they can't stand up to investigation? That's why I'm afraid from top to bottom.

This brings us to the last question.

Too many people evade taxes, why can they succeed?

very simple.

Because the irs is not as powerful as outsiders imagined, it is just an ordinary government department in the United States, not much more capable than the fbi, cia and other powerful departments. Not only that, such a department, like the unclog device in the toilet, is very frequently used by power agencies at all levels in the United States as a tool of coercion, and anyone who needs it can use it.

It's that simple.

Of course, everyone has to do enough superficial articles.

Today's meeting with irs is like this, what needs to be done has to be done, although Simon does not plan to transfer tens of billions of funds back to the United States, but he still wants to give irs a decent step, take a lot of money out, and use it as a tax At the same time, properly publicize it in the media.

The Westeros Corporation has fulfilled its duties as a taxpayer, and the irs, the White House, and Congress have also fulfilled their due obligations. Voters can also rush to feel relieved when they see that the Westeros system has paid a batch of taxes. , at least the group of people in Washington who are eating nothing are doing things, and they will vote when they should vote.

Everyone is happy.

After finishing this matter, the next day is December 3rd, Friday.

Next Monday, the pre-heating of the Victoria's Secret TV show is still going on, and another box office week at the end of the year in North America will also come to an end.

A box office week from November 26 to December 2, because Thanksgiving has passed, and no new films were released last Friday, the box office of this week is also crucial to the overall trend of a series of Thanksgiving films.

Without any suspense, Cyborg 2 easily achieved reelection.

In the second week after its release, this super blockbuster with a total investment of 240 million US dollars finally ended up with a considerable one-week decline of 45% after its first week of explosion, and it received another 71.86 million US dollars. At the same time, it also easily pushed the cumulative box office to 200 million, reaching 202.51 million US dollars.

Breaking 200 million in two weeks is absolutely outstanding.

Moreover, the 45% drop in the second week is also very good compared to the box office volume of 130 million in the first week of the film.

However, due to the drop of more than 40% in the next week, according to Warner's official forecast, there is still suspense about whether North America can exceed 400 million in the next trend. That is to say, if the decline in the next week is controlled within 40%, it will be very safe to break through 400 million, but now, there is a lot of suspense.

Of course, the cumulative box office exceeded 200 million in two weeks after its release, and the next 300 million threshold is a breeze.

Immediately afterwards, the second place was still Cars.

Because of the genre, Cars entered a short and quiet period between the Thanksgiving file and the Christmas file, and the weekly drop reached 39%, which was higher than the 37% drop last week, and it received another US$24.39 million.

Still to be expected.

The cumulative box office of this 3D animation film thus reached 127.95 million US dollars.

Different from Cyborg 2 and 007's Casino Royale, which enter the Christmas file, they will only be hit by the impact of new films and quickly launched to compete with popcorn heavyweights. In the next Christmas file, because of the fixed market demand, Cars will have a wave of play, so , even if this week's decline reaches 39%, the local threshold of 200 million is still not much suspense.

Then there is 007's Casino Royale, which ranked third. After being hit by Cyborg 2 the next week, the film's decline has slightly converged to 43% this week, which is somewhat unsatisfactory. The film continues to develop

The account was 20.97 million U.S. dollars, and the cumulative box office was 132.88 million U.S. dollars.

Still as expected, compared to the initial 150 million, it may be about 10 million higher, but it stops here.

Outside of the top three, films such as Air Force One and The Genius Ripley have nothing to say, because the box office trend has been determined before, and they will basically withdraw from the competition in the next Christmas file.
