What is the Vie shareholding structure? In fact, many people really don’t know, but once it is mentioned, many people know it, and some people have personally experienced the follow-up matters brought about by this structure, such as being cheated by v-commerce merchants and old people buying some products.
Being cheated, there is no way to complain.
The vie equity structure was not originally designed to allow some behind-the-scenes beneficiaries of companies to avoid legal responsibilities and evade the law. It was first designed by a very well-known domestic lawyer. He designed the structure model to help some domestic companies go public abroad.
.
Because the standards for domestic listings were very high from the 1990s to the beginning of the millennium, many companies chose to list overseas, mainly because the conditions for overseas listings were relatively loose at that time. So this structure came out, and the first person to use this structure in China was a certain company.
Langlang is listed overseas, and there is also a structure called Zhalang in the industry.
The reason why this structure exists is mainly because there are some domestic businesses where foreign investors are prohibited from investing and cannot become shareholders. Foreign investors want to bring in funds, and some domestic operators want to go public and cash out. This is why the Vie structure was designed.
How to operate this structure? First, you need to go to the British Virgin Islands to set up a BVI company. Why do many business leaders like to register companies here? Many people in this place probably know and have read relevant reports.
Mainly because you only need to pay some management fees to go here, and most of your income basically does not need to be taxed. It is mainly a tax haven, and many entrepreneurs go there to register companies.
However, there are also disadvantages to registering a company in the Virgin Islands. Most financial institutions around the world do not recognize companies registered in the Virgin Islands as corporate entities.
Because companies registered in the Virgin Islands, especially information about company leaders and shareholders, are not public. After you go public, the first priority is information disclosure. How can you go public if you don’t disclose information?
Secondly, the laws of the Virgin Islands are not perfect, so you need to go to the next place to register a company. This name is familiar to most people, the Cayman Islands. Go to the Cayman Islands to establish a company.
The main purpose for investors and shareholders to register a company in the Cayman Islands is to avoid taxes. The laws of the Cayman Islands are relatively sound and are recognized by many financial institutions for listing. Most importantly, some investor and shareholder information will still be hidden here.
Of course, a legal person will be introduced, not only to avoid tax, but also to help some people not to expose personal information.
As for these legal persons, many of them are people who have been promoted, most of them hold very small shares, and they are basically workers.
After registering in the Cayman Islands, go to Hong Kong Island to register an SPv company [Special Purpose Company]. Why should you go to Hong Kong Island to open a company?
The main reason is that there is an agreement between the Mainland and Hong Kong Island. If you open a company in the Mainland and have business in the country, there will be preferential policies for shareholder dividends and some taxes.
The main purpose is to avoid taxes, and secondly, it makes the above-mentioned companies look like an overall structure, like a foreign parent company, a Hong Kong subsidiary, and a domestic branch, making it look like a large group.
Use a branch on Hong Kong Island to register a wholly foreign-owned company in China. This wholly foreign-owned company cannot operate some prohibited businesses in the country, such as media, law firms, financial manufacturing, insurance, etc.
He cannot operate or become a shareholder. He can only engage in some consulting service companies. At this time, the wholly foreign-owned company will invest and distribute dividends through various agreements, such as equity pledge loans, debt guarantees, special consulting services and other contracts.
Control domestic companies that want to be listed abroad.
This is why the Vie architecture was later hated by people, especially ordinary people who were cut off by such companies and had no way to complain.
Because this is controlled by agreement, it is equivalent to fully investing in a domestic company, but all management rights, operators, and legal persons have nothing to do with them. No matter how you pursue it, you cannot hold them accountable.
When this structure came out, it was for domestic companies to go public abroad, but later everyone knew about it, and many people regarded it as a preparation to avoid responsibilities and run away.
This VIE structure cooperates with the trust, which is a perfect match. The money earned is transferred to the trust. Even if something happens to the VIE structure in the end and affects this group of people, the money in the trust is still there. In short, the money is still there.
Many people on the rich list have verifiable assets, but the assets of this group of people cannot be found, and the source has been covered up. Therefore, it is hard to say how rich people are, but they can be sure that they are rich.
There is more than most people think, and the wealth is beyond the imagination of most people.
I still don’t understand when I see this. The simplest example is, you want to open a milk tea shop, but you don’t want people to know that you open this milk tea shop, but you also want to be the boss, what should you do?
You go find your good friend Ergou, and you ask Ergou to open a milk tea shop. You give him 10 million, and then ask Ergou to pledge the equity of the milk tea shop to you. You lent Ergou the money.
Ergou has to pay you interest every month. You have a professional consultant team in Hei Ergou to tell him how to open a good milk tea shop.
Ergou will pay you a consulting fee from the profit of the milk tea shop. The final money from Ergou's milk tea shop will be yours, and Ergou can get an income of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a month.
If something goes wrong in the milk tea shop, the two dogs will be found at most, and it has nothing to do with you.
Zhao Mingyang himself also understands this operation, but he cannot do it himself. He must find a lawyer to do it, because this can eventually be avoided by Lawyer Zhang. If Lawyer Zhang wants to do it himself, he must have a complete set of evasion methods, and
These are all ongoing improvements within existing laws.
PS: If you are interested in the specific implementation of this type of operation, you can read another book by Ma Jia [Rebirth Starts with Collecting IQ Taxes]. This book tries not to go into too many details about capital operations, as it is easy to get into trouble.
It is also easy to be said that it is mixed with personal work. The main readership is divided into working people and students, as well as grade levels. I try to write something light-hearted, because it is too detailed about business. I will try to use less in the future.
Now that Zhao Mingyang has money and has opened several stalls, he is ready to plan this. Whether it is a project of Ma Changyuan, Ye Chuan, etc., Zhao Mingyang is always rushing to cash out.
The money is withdrawn and then invested in other things. Finally, the money earned is used to purchase real estate and land. This is a typical asset transfer and cash out.
Transforming virtual things into entities, this is basically what Lao Li did, but Lao Li was still not powerful enough. The most powerful one was Gates. Only decades later did everyone know that this guy is the largest landowner in the United States and owns land in the United States.
The person with the most resources.
In fact, the people at the top know what is most valuable, land, habitat, land can produce food materials, food is the basis of human beings, and then there is military force and medical treatment. These are basically in the hands of the top group of people.
After going back and forth, all the money he earned ended up on this. If Zhao Mingyang was in his previous life, he would have been thinking about the Internet and virtual currencies, and he would not know how to operate the money in his hands.
Of course, most people can't do this. Ordinary people still mainly rely on food and clothing.
After leaving the law firm, he went to the Tuanmei headquarters in the imperial capital. Zhao Mingyang and the people from Tuanmei reviewed Liu Bingbing's promotional video and prepared a marketing campaign.
After talking for more than two hours, Zhao Mingyang left the Tuanmei headquarters.
I looked at the time and saw that it was 5:26 in the afternoon. It was time for Zhao Mingyang to play badminton. If I guessed correctly, Ye Wenshu would go to play tonight. He wanted to meet Zhao Mingyang by chance.
Because Zhao Mingyang posted on WeChat Moments and wrote: After work, prepare to go to the stadium and have a good game.
This is a hint to Ye Wenshu, do you want to meet by chance?
If you want, come and meet by chance.
Ye Wenshu handed Zhao Mingyang's book to the courier company in the afternoon and edited the singing part of the recording of Zhao Mingyang's video.
Then she picked up her phone and saw that she got off work at 5:30, and she was about to get off work. She glanced at her circle of friends, which she now glances at from time to time, to see if Zhao Mingyang has posted anything.
Zhao Mingyang invisibly attracted Ye Wenshu's attention, for no other reason than that he was young, handsome, talented, and caring. The most important thing was that he had all the moral, intellectual, physical, artistic, and physical skills. How could he be a human being? He was a perfect god.
