Su Yehao's plane landed quietly at Hualien Airport on the island.
Different from the usual fanfare when traveling, this time the bodyguards left the airport and disguised themselves as a tour group from the port city.
The Xinba Zhaofeng Leisure Farm that I happened to want to visit is also in the Hualien area.
He simply booked a hotel directly at the farm, and Yin Liuli took her daughter Su Leyao to stay with him first.
Yin Liuli grew up in the local area and was familiar with the neighborhood. When she saw the cows and pasture outside through the car window, she said with a smile:
"I used to pass by this place often on my motorcycle. My grandmother used to work nearby, picking pineapples in the orchard, and growing many kinds of fruits, such as papaya, lotus root, custard apple, etc."
Detailed information about the leisure farm has been sent to Su Yehao. It covers a total area of more than 720 hectares, which is almost 10,000 acres of land.
He admired the scenery on the roadside, held his sleeping daughter in his arms, and whispered:
"This should be regarded as one of the largest farms on the entire island. The surrounding environment is quite good, with green mountains and green waters. It should be very healthy to live there. It just so happens that there is no such large farm under its name. If you occasionally escape from the big city, come here to live there.
, it will be more comfortable."
Yin Liuli asked with interest: "I saw news in the newspaper that Gates is also purchasing a large number of farms and estates. Can he still get tax deductions?"
"That's right, the land can't be lost anyway, so it's more suitable for family inheritance."
Remembering something interesting, Su Yehao then told:
"Last year, the Gates Foundation received an investment return of nearly 4 billion U.S. dollars with a principal of nearly 27 billion U.S. dollars, with a profit rate of about 15%. The couple only need to invest 10% of their total assets every year.
If 5% is used for donation, the entire foundation can obtain the benefit of tax reduction and exemption, which is more cost-effective than normal business. As a result, these rich people become richer as they donate. They are obviously masters of tax avoidance, but they can gain both fame and fortune.
It just makes me drool with envy.”
Having worked in his charity foundation for a long time, Yin Liuli happened to know the relevant fields well and said calmly:
"It's different in the Mainland. You need to donate about 70% of your total assets every year. This means that if you don't make any money, you will donate almost all of it in three or four years, which will directly plug all the loopholes."
"It is really not easy to avoid taxes in the north. Otherwise, why would the rich people always want to escape? Ordinary people will feel pain if they pay three melons and two dates. Of course, companies and the rich pay more attention to the tax rate issue. Every time they look at accounting affairs
The report has made me heartbroken for a long time."
Su Yehao didn't want to build an archway.
The recent discussions on issues such as inheritance tax and corporate tax in casinos have been promoted by him in an attempt to build the casino into a brand new tax haven.
Ordinary people always want the rich to pay more taxes, but the rich themselves inevitably have selfish motives. The contradiction between this is difficult to balance. As a result, multinational companies and wealthy people often like to immigrate to tax depressions. Only ordinary middle-class and high-income people like to choose to go to the United States.
, Australia, Canada and other places.
The reason why Singapore is so popular is not just because of how well it does in terms of ecology, education, and public security. Its status as a tax haven is its core competitiveness. The fact that there is no need to pay taxes on overseas income has prompted many multinational companies to flock here.
Yin Liuli, who was not sure why, asked:
"Then why does Gates want to buy land? The output value of farmland is not high. Wouldn't it be better to invest in stocks like you, where the value can appreciate and receive dividends?"
"I'm the right person to ask. Others may not understand Gates's mentality. Only those like us who have made enough money will value stability more than the rate of return. Someone has done some research for me and said that the United States
Taking factors such as rent, output, value-added and other factors into account, the average return rate of farms in the past ten years has exceeded 10%, which is already several points higher than the average return rate of investing in stocks and gold."
Su Yehao sighed slightly and said with emotion:
"When you encounter a problem that you can't figure out, you should analyze it from the perspective of interests. It's really easy to guess. There are too few big philanthropists who really and completely donate their wealth. Anyway, there doesn't seem to be any around me...
"
…
After arriving at your destination, go through the check-in procedures.
I encountered many tourists in the lobby and needed to be patient in queuing.
Linda Yun helped with the matter, and Su Yehao took his daughter for a walk around the area first.
There was a fair young girl who spoke softly and took a group of kindergarten kids to see the rabbits, almost abducting Su Yehao's daughter.
The island is a developed area, the wages are pretty good, and people's life pressure is relatively low.
It's okay to be idle.
Su Yehao took the initiative to chat and asked an old man who was pruning bushes and dressed like a farmer how much he earned every year.
The other party did not recognize Su Yehao and told him that his family farmed and earned about 70,000 to 80,000 Hong Kong dollars a year. Occasionally working part-time at the leisure farm, he could earn 50,000 to 60,000 Hong Kong dollars. Calculated, the monthly salary was over 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Talk about it carefully.
Although the average income in Hong Kong City is higher than this place, the quality of life is not necessarily as livable as there.
The area of the entire island is more than 30 times larger than that of the port city, but the population is only three times that of the port city, which means that it is much more comfortable than the port city in terms of employment opportunities and housing.
The reason why he thinks about this is because Su Yehao noticed the last time he traveled to Kenting. The overall atmosphere on the island is relaxed and relaxed. People speak and act slowly. Maybe they don't have much money in their hands and their life is relatively comfortable.
Different places create different atmospheres, and the differences are obvious.
in comparison.
Although life in Hong Kong is stressful, at least you can earn more if you work hard. The tertiary industry is developed and brings many employment opportunities.
It's a little tougher in the Mainland.
With a huge labor force, fierce competition ensues. If the cake does not continue to grow, the share that will be distributed to everyone will be very small.
Su Yehao believes that he has the strength now, and has easily pushed the casino to the world's first per capita GDP, but it can only make a small splash in the north.
Think along this line of thinking.
It can be found that the population growth in Europe coincided with its overseas expansion, which resulted in them maintaining a superior quality of life.
If Europe had a population of two to three billion, the social welfare order would collapse in an instant, leaving many people scrambling for high-paying jobs.
I vaguely remember that in my previous life, there were several provinces and cities whose economic aggregate gradually exceeded that of the island.
Su Yehao is wondering what will happen if we work harder and each place surpasses the total local economy.
Maybe it can't be compared in terms of per capita, but the overall quality of life will at least be much higher than it is now.
It is logical to conclude that hard work will be rewarded. Su Yehao felt that it was too early to retire now, and he instantly found a new goal.
at the same time.
He also decisively gave up his plan to come here and invest in leisure farms.
Instead of spending billions of Hong Kong dollars to buy this farm, why not invest your money in a place with more beautiful scenery? Instead, consider choosing a place in the mainland to build a resort town...
