In the restaurant, Liu Xiaoli brought the last plate of food to the table and saw the couple walking around, especially the daughter who had returned to her lively and playful look. Compared with the quiet and dull state these days, Chu Xuan, the son-in-law, came
As expected, my daughter has become completely different.
She clearly realized that since the couple's testimony, Chu Xuan's proportion in her daughter's heart has completely exceeded hers, and now the person who can control her daughter's happiness has completely become Chu Xuan.
Are you jealous? In the past, she might have been, but now that warmth in a family of three has become the norm, she has long forgotten this thought and only hopes that her two children will get better and better.
After inviting the two of them to sit down, handing them bowls and chopsticks, and starting lunch, she mentioned something: "Xiaoxuan, I checked in the past few days since I came here, and found that the rebate tax in the United States has increased, and it is now 27.5%.
"
"Has it become so high?" Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, looking slightly surprised, lowering his head to take a bite of rice.
It seems that the payment ratio of this tax was not so high before, but now it has reached almost 30%. This is also... shameless.
The reason why I say he is a scoundrel is because the tax in the United States is fundamentally different from the domestic stepped tax law.
In China, tax collection depends on the amount of income and the income flow of a person or company.
The national tax refund in the United States is a bit outrageous. It depends on a person's total assets.
For example, if a person's company is worth 10 billion, but the actual income is only 100 million, the domestic tax is only 100 million, and the tax rebate in the United States is 10 billion. This is really a shame.
This is also a conspiracy.
It uses so-called financial freedom to attract foreign "capital leeks" and uses such outrageous national tax rebates to prevent these "capital leeks" from easily leaving the United States.
In China, for foreign-loving rich people, after transferring their assets and basically abandoning their businesses to move to the United States and being squeezed by local capital, they are grateful for the good news of their own country, but they are faced with the tax refund that is like a gangster, and it is easy to deregister domestically.
The situation is difficult to come back from, and it can be said that there will be no return.
Moreover, after the fawning rich people leave, careful and knowledgeable people will find that the useful assets left behind by these people will soon be taken over by mysterious people or mysterious companies.
In addition, there are no national tax refunds in the country, so you don’t have to pay any money to leave your nationality. It’s completely free, so those people who favor foreigners can easily make money.
Looking at it this way, from the perspective of the atmosphere, if the national tax refund is a conspiracy of the United States, and there is no national tax refund in China, and it is easy to deregister and difficult to come back, can it also be regarded as a kind of silent cleaning up?
The portal’s conspiracy?
The game between great powers does not have enough levels. Chu Xuan did not dare to think deeply. When his mother raised this matter, he did not realize it: "Anyway, the company's equity is in your hands, mother. Sissi will pay the money when the time comes."
I can’t pay much.”
"But I own real estate!" Liu Yifei said as she took a bite of pizza.
Chu Xuan was startled for a moment and then reacted: "Yes, our names are written on the property certificate of the villa in Donglin Bieyuan, one half for each person. Do you know how much the house is worth now?"
Liu Xiaoli held chopsticks in her right hand, stretched out three fingers with her left hand, and said eloquently: "Three hundred million!"
"300 million... Beijing's housing prices are rising very fast." Chu Xuan said, the house bought for 60 million in 2005, four years later and still affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, the value has still increased five times.
No wonder the real estate industry is making so much money, the ability to speculate in real estate is incredible.
"If it's 300 million, Sissi has 150 million in assets." He said, "There's nothing else besides this, just Sissi's artist business stuff."
Liu Xiaoli nodded: "I estimated that Sissi's assets are about US$40 million."
Chu Xuan silently calculated: "40 million US dollars, 27.5%, which is 11 million US dollars."
"Yes." Liu Xiaoli slapped the table, and said with reluctance and pity: "I originally made more than 200 million by investing in Longyou with you, and bought a wedding house for more than 100 million. The tax will also cost nearly 100 million.
This is really a waste of money, what a pity.”
Chu Xuan was speechless for a moment. The subprime mortgage crisis triggered an interest rate increase on U.S. debt, which increased the value of the U.S. dollar. Other currencies would depreciate relatively, and the exchange ratio between the RMB and the U.S. dollar reached 7.5.
11 million US dollars, more than 80 million yuan, indeed nearly 100 million yuan.
Mom compares it to wasting money, and it is understandable that she feels sorry for it.
"Fortunately, the equity of Bright Times is in my hands. This decision was quite correct at the time. If it were placed in Sissi's hands, the national tax refund would be estimated to be hundreds of millions. What the rogue department wants is cash flow in US dollars. This is
It's troublesome." Liu Xiaoli said happily again.
"Indeed." Chu Xuan stammered: "The company has a subsidiary in Los Angeles and also cooperates with Macron. When the time comes to withdraw nationality, the national tax refund will require US dollar cash flow, so let the subsidiary or Macron help first.
We will pay it back slowly through foreign exchange exchange from China.”
"It's the same as what I thought." Liu Xiaoli's plan was consistent with Chu Xuan's.
"Oops." Liu Yifei interjected: "There's no news about whether the nationality will be transferred or whether it will be returned. Isn't it a bit far-fetched for you to talk about it now?"
Liu Xiaoli tapped her bowl with her chopsticks and educated her: "You have to plan everything in advance. It's not like you. You can do whatever makes you feel comfortable day by day. You're so big-hearted that you don't think about anything."
"That's right, it should be approved!" Chu Xuan agreed, siding with his mother.
Liu Yifei was very angry and looked at Chu Xuan sharply, as if she wanted to hit someone.
Chu Xuan thought that if she stood by her mother, she would praise her highly, but she only heard her mother continue to complain: "Oh, yes, it's not that I don't think about anything. When Xiaoxuan didn't come, I missed him every day.
I've raised you for twenty-one years and never seen you think about me so much, so I raised you in vain."
Chu Xuan made a "puff" sound. Fortunately, there was no food in his mouth, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.
Liu Yifei put down her chopsticks, fell sideways on Chu Xuan and smiled with her head down.
Zeng Ni and Lu Tao couldn't help laughing, while Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter jokingly from time to time.
"Humph." Liu Yifei snorted to get rid of the embarrassment of being complained by her mother, then sat up and continued eating.
When the meal was almost done, there was a "ding-dong" sound, and the private tutor came.
The two parties briefly exchanged greetings, and Liu Yifei said, "I'm going to class first," and then went upstairs to get textbooks for private lessons.
Zeng Ni and Lu Tao were responsible for collecting the bowls and cleaning up, while Chu Xuan accompanied his mother to the living room to watch TV.
"With the way our country handles the matter of changing nationality, if it is not possible, we should have called and informed you long ago. There has been no call for three or four months, which means that the process is going smoothly and there should be a good result."
"Well, I think so too. That's why when I came to New Haven this time, I took a look at the situation of withdrawing my American citizenship as soon as possible to make complete preparations. I'll take a look at it when the time comes."
Chu Xuan nodded and sat down on the sofa with his mother.
Liu Xiaoli picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. After putting down the remote control, she picked up two apples from the fruit basket and handed one to Chu Xuan: "Sissi came to Yale University to study, do you think it was in vain?"
Chu Xuan took the apple and looked at his mother: "What's wrong?"
Liu Xiaoli took a bite of the apple and said, "She was away from school for most of the time. In the end, she had to have a private tutor to make up lessons. I don't know if she learned anything."
Chu Xuan took a bite of the apple and said: "You still have to learn something. At least she has not missed every video lesson. Her acting knowledge may not be as good as her two years of practical experience, but she has still made great progress in the industrialization of the film.
She now has her own ideas about the company's industrialization."
"That's good." Liu Xiaoli said.
Chu Xuan continued: "There are also management courses from private tutors. She has made more obvious progress in this area. You can see that she is on the crew of "Star You" and she is able to handle things as a producer with ease. Although management refers to the corporate aspect,
, but the crew structure and the company structure are similar, so she has made great progress."
"Yeah, I can see that." Liu Xiaoli saw what her daughter did during the filming of "Star You". Her daughter handled all aspects of things in an orderly manner, which made her happy.
"Also." Chu Xuan said: "Leaving aside the study aspect, if she didn't come to further her studies, she wouldn't be able to get to know Grande, and she wouldn't be able to have a Hollywood partner in Bright Times so smoothly and quickly. This pair of
It has played a big role in promoting the development of the company.”
Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly: "That's true. Without her, the company's overseas profit plan, which has acquired so many overseas novel copyrights, would not have been put into place so quickly. It can only be said to be a coincidence."
The plan for her daughter to study abroad is mainly to strengthen her acting ability so that her daughter's performance level can follow that of her son-in-law, so that they can both launch their film careers.
The second is the daughter's own request to learn some knowledge about the industrialization of Western films so that she and her son-in-law can better develop their industrialization career in China.
In addition, my daughter wanted to be strong, so she hired a private tutor halfway through to learn management skills so that she could be her boss's wife and producer.
Originally, I wanted my daughter to quit the industry temporarily and spend two years studying, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.
Whether it is the development needs of the company's film and television dramas, or the career changes conspired by the daughter and son-in-law, whether it is the son-in-law joining their family, or the son-in-law's daughter falling in love and proposing, which is now a proven emotional development, leading to the daughter's further education.
My academic situation is the same as it was at Beijing Film Academy, and I am not in school most of the time.
This gave her the illusion that her daughter was studying for nothing.
I just had a chat with my son-in-law, and what he said is true. Although my daughter is not in school most of the time, she has also gained a lot from matters related to her further studies. Such results are always good, so this is not bad.
"Boy, let's go out for a walk and buy some groceries."
In the afternoon, Liu Yifei finished her class and sent the teacher out of the house.
Liu Xiaoli announced her plans for the afternoon and took the two kids shopping.
"Okay." Liu Yifei seemed very lively, and Chu Xuan's arrival inspired her naughty and fun-loving temperament.
The family went shopping until the sky turned into sunset. In view of the fact that Americans may not be able to see the sun tomorrow after nightfall, the family returned home.
After dinner, Chu Xuan accompanied Liu Yifei upstairs to the bedroom, and the couple studied together how to write the speech.
Just like that, life in New Haven was like this for several days.
They spent the morning relaxing, and in the afternoon they waited for Liu Yifei to finish her class and went shopping. In the evening, my mother watched TV, and the couple sat in the room thinking about the speech.
It's unremarkable and a little boring, but the joy and happiness of a family together are not enough to be appreciated by outsiders.
During the past few days of external observation, or in the process of shopping, Chu Xuan made several discoveries that went deep into the people's livelihood in the United States, which triggered some thoughts in him.
First, as Liu Yifei said, there are many homeless people in the city. Not only can they be found everywhere, but there are a few people setting up tents or sleeping on the ground on almost every street.
This shows that the subprime mortgage crisis has had a huge impact on the local area, but the local bosses have not treated these people well. Instead, they have raised interest rates on debt to collect money from countries around the world to solve the problem. The result is that local capital makes profits and does not care about the lives of ordinary people.
This led to his second thought. Many of the products here are made in China. From clothes, socks, shoes, to electronic parts, the manufacturers are all from China, and they focus on being cheap.
This reminds Chu Xuan of two domestic sayings. One is that domestically produced products are excellent and are dumped abroad to be awesome; the other is just the opposite. They can only provide products from the middle and low industry chains, making them look like wage earners. However,
err.
If he had a low cognitive level in the past, he might believe both statements, or he might be biased by some remarks.
Through the industrialization of film and television, he needs to understand some domestic and even global developments, which has also broadened his horizons a lot in the past few years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! According to the way people are treated in response to the crisis, the number of homeless people will only increase.
The homeless can't afford LV, but they may be able to afford cheap domestically produced ones.
Electronic spare parts directly affect local high-end products, and according to his understanding, domestic manufacturing exports account for more than 70% every year.
He didn't know why it was so high. Maybe it was because it was cheap. Anyway, it was a fact that could be easily checked.
In this way, domestic light industry affects the people's livelihood economy here, while heavy industry affects the formation and sales of high-end technology products here.
The high-tech gadgets in this land dominate the world and are very exclusive. They have technological blockades on other lands. This may be their self-confidence, so they give up the underlying manufacturing and hand it over to other lands for production. They only play
High end.
But in this case, what if domestic high-tech breaks through the blockade?
The light industry affects people's livelihood here, the middle and low-level manufacturing industries take advantage of the high-end production chain here, and high-tech breaks through the comprehensive blockade that this place is proud of. Then it will be difficult for the high-end industries here to check and balance the domestic ones, right?
Judging from the memory deep in Chu Xuan's mind, he didn't feel anything about some things before. After his cognition improved in the past few years, he realized later that there were some international events that he couldn't understand in his memory because of this.
This piece of land will slowly begin to change its status with the other side in the near future.
He doesn't know whether the knowledge he has gained through observation in the past few days is correct or not, but he is willing to believe his analysis and firmly believes that the pace of our revival is accelerating amid the fluctuations.
Maybe the world is really a "worse" era now. Anyway, after he wandered around the city for a few days, he saw homeless people with no homes to live in. They didn't clean up their poop. There was a peculiar smell wherever they went. There were still a lot of thieves in public.
When the public sector seemed to be failing, he was extremely confident in the rise of his country.
"You are so strong and beautiful. You are really awesome. I am very happy."
To this end, he summarized what he had seen, heard and thought in the past few days.
And some people only care about the happiness of small people and don't care about the rise of great countries.
But without the rise of big countries, where will the happiness of small people come from?
The last statement is a fallacy, but it turns out to be the truth.
For me, our revival is a mission that never forgets our roots.
Personally speaking, as a country rises, entertainment can become bigger and stronger.
If he has confidence in the country's rise, then he has confidence in his entertainment industry, confidence in the industrialization of film and television, and confidence in the future.
At this point, Chu Xuan was very moved. He wanted to go out more, take a closer look at the world, and then think more and more. It was indeed true. It made him see the essence of some things with a new level of clarity.
"Chu Xuan!"
"Not okay yet?"
"be quick!"
"The graduation ceremony starts at 9 o'clock!"
On the morning of June 15th, American time, Liu Yifei’s urging voice came from downstairs.
Chu Xuan was washing his face in the bedroom and bathroom. When he heard the urging, he shouted: "Come on, come on!"
He quickly hung up the towel, hurriedly ran his hands through his hair, and then quickly walked out the door.
