"Is it really that difficult to praise me as a good man with deep feelings?"
Zheng Yaoyang looked displeased, blaming Guo Kongli for not knowing current affairs, and at the same time walked towards the direction of the crowd.
After counting the number of people, he found that everyone was present. He did not waste time and invited everyone with a smile to move to the conference room to start today's spoils sharing meeting.
10.661 billion funds, Bank of China’s channel usage fee of 1.2% is unavoidable, and 127 million needs to be deducted.
There are total funds on the account of 10.534 billion US dollars. After deducting the principal of 1.8 billion US dollars, there is still a net income of 8.734 billion US dollars.
Their company has to charge a management fee of 20% of the project profit, which is approximately US$1.746 billion, so in the end, only US$6.988 billion is left.
"Dear uncles, Hong Kong enterprises need to pay 12.5% income tax. I believe everyone knows it. I have a suggestion for you to listen to."
Zheng Yaoyang first expressed his attitude that they are a legitimate and formal enterprise, and tax evasion is definitely not advisable and cannot be done.
Not to mention them, even Zheng Yaoyang feels distressed about paying 12.5% tax, so he must find a way to avoid it.
Zheng Yaoyang suggested that the settlement amount of this project should be turned into dividend payment, and the principal of 1.8 billion should remain in the company, and the company's profits should be distributed in the name of dividends.
In this way, the tax rate of 12.5% only needs to be paid 7.5%. If the dividend money is distributed to everyone's public welfare account, the tax rate will be even lower.
Zheng Yaoyang said: "If the uncles do not want to continue to participate in the investment of the next project, I can also set up a third-party debt company to accept everyone's contract mortgage and refund 100%. What do the uncles think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Kongli didn't care that there were seniors in the industry present, and immediately expressed his stance: "It's okay, I have no problem."
It seems that they are supporting Zheng Yaoyang's decision, but in fact they are also supporting his decision and taking advantage of it.
Zheng Yaoyang said it smoothly and kept calling everyone uncle, completely forgetting that Guo Kongli existed this time.
Zheng Yaoyang glared at him, and the proud old man He also stood up and expressed his stance, saying with a smile: "I don't have a problem either."
Of the US$1.8 billion that went overseas, he personally owned US$300 million, one-sixth of the total share.
This time, 1.164 billion of the total profit of 6.988 billion belonged to him, and he earned 9 billion Hong Kong dollars in a year. He was afraid that Zheng Yaoyang would not take him to play next time, so how could he refuse.
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and there was basically no problem. Even Li Jiacheng agreed with a smile.
No matter who you have trouble with, you can't have trouble with money. Zheng Yaoyang's ability to make money is obvious to all.
"Then let's talk about new projects and new contracts."
Zheng Yaoyang decided to change the investment cycle of the project. The last project lasted only one year, which was too short, and there was no such good opportunity all the time.
He decided to extend the investment cycle of the next project to five years, and also announced that the authority would be opened to allow more qualified people to join in the future.
The requirements to join them are also simple, you only need to invest more than 50 million US dollars in one time.
Zheng Yaoyang cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Uncles, I plan to disclose everyone's profits this time in a subtle way. You should support it, right?"
After all, the small circle of more than a dozen people is too small, and the help provided is limited to Xiangjiang.
It cannot compete with European and American financial institutions, or even asset management companies in Japan and South Korea.
With this release of investment authority, Zheng Yaoyang hopes to allow more people to join, regardless of their region and nationality.
If you invest 50 million US dollars in the long term, your net worth will be at least 3.5 billion US dollars. Even if you are not the overlord of one party, you are still a powerful one.
Li Jiacheng's eyes were full of fear, but he couldn't help but said angrily: "Even if we don't agree, I'm afraid someone with knowledge of the matter will reveal it later."
Zheng Yaoyang's intention is very clear to him. He wants to use this profit to further expand his influence so that his influence is no longer limited to Xiangjiang.
It is said that wealth should not be revealed. This time it is no longer up to them to make the decision. Whether they agree or disagree, someone with knowledge of the matter will definitely expose it afterwards.
This is also Zheng Yaoyang's consistent method.
Zheng Yaoyang chuckled and said noncommittally, "But please don't worry, uncles. I promise I won't burn you this time."
The company's projects have made a profit of US$1.746 billion. He plans to use US$500 million to establish a real charity fund and make every expenditure fully transparent.
The remaining 1.246 billion will not go through tax avoidance channels, and the required 12.5% corporate income tax will be paid in full.
As long as he releases these two blockbuster news, even if it is revealed that Lao He earns 9 billion Hong Kong dollars, he will be directly submerged in the huge wave of public opinion.
Money is just a string of numbers to him now,
People should have higher pursuits.
Everyone looked at Zheng Yaoyang, with no admiration in their eyes, only fear and admiration from a very few people.
The fearful gaze was naturally on Li Zhaoji from Lijiacheng. Mr. Huo admired these rising stars in Xiangjiang and said with a smile: "I have no objection."
He has always believed that what you learn should be taught to others, and what you earn should be given to others.
If you don’t bring money with you in life, you won’t take it with you in death. I’m glad that Zheng Yaoyang had this awareness at such a young age.
Mr. Huo has a very high status, he has expressed his stance, and everyone basically acquiesces to Zheng Yaoyang's behavior.
To put it bluntly, even if they disagree, what can they do? Zheng Yaoyang is informing, not discussing with them.
This kid has become famous now.
The meeting ended and news spread.
According to people familiar with the matter, the dividend from the fund under Zheng Yaoyang’s name this time is as high as US$7 billion.
There is even news that the management fee is as high as 20%, and the 7 billion dividend is the amount after deducting the management fee.
The news became more and more sinister as it spread, from 7 billion dividends to 10 billion, and finally 10 billion evolved into 20 billion.
For countless ordinary people, tens of millions of dollars are beyond their imagination, let alone US dollars.
The amount of money involved exceeds people's imagination. Tens of billions or even tens of billions is a vague concept.
The more the news spreads, the more true it becomes, especially with the help of thoughtful people, from how much money Zheng Yaoyang earns to how much tax he needs to pay to the government.
This topic is quite popular in the market and even became the mainstream voice of public opinion for a time.
They don't know that as the leading media group in Hong Kong, Huanyu Group can control the direction of public opinion. If they don't want the public to know, the popularity of public opinion will quickly cool down.
They only know that as long as they can make rich people lose money, it will be more satisfying than making money for them.
After two days of fermentation, the news became more and more intense, and Zheng Yaoyang was forced to stand up and issue a statement.
"We have to make it clear that 10 billion to 20 billion is pure nonsense, and the profit is not that much."
The clever reporter immediately grasped the underlying meaning of the words. Ten billion to two billion is nonsense, but Zheng Yaoyang did not deny that seven billion was true or false.
It's a pity that it's not time for questions yet, so they can only wait patiently for Zheng Yaoyang to continue his story.
"Our company has always been law-abiding. No matter how much tax we should pay, we will pay it exactly."
"We paid a total of two taxes, totaling HK$1.427 billion."
"One is the company's corporate income tax, and the other is the basic tax for establishing a charitable education fund."
"In the end, the company decided to spend US$500 million to establish a charity education fund to strive for the right of all school-age children in Hong Kong to go to school."
"At the same time, I am also very grateful to Huojia Group for donating 20 million, Changshi Group for donating 30 million, and Lisboa Group for donating $50 million..."
"Thanks to the generous help of all seniors, the total amount of this donation has reached an astonishing US$770 million. Since the establishment of the Charitable Fund, the amount of each expenditure will be publicly disclosed on the first day of every month in the Hong Kong Star Newspaper of the World.
Supervision from people from all walks of life is welcome.”
At the beginning, Zheng Yaoyang waved his hand and informed everyone that he planned to donate US$500 million for real charity.
Chi Guoguo's moral kidnapping, the bosses are too embarrassed to give up, more or less, they are all a bit mean.
After all, once the charity fund is made public, anyone who has not donated money will definitely be involved in a public controversy.
Everyone donated 10 million U.S. dollars. Among them, Lao He earned the most and donated the most 50 million U.S. dollars.
Seeing the reporters in the audience talking a lot, Zheng Yaoyang achieved his goal and simply ignored the question-and-answer session and ended today's press conference early.
Only the reporters were left with bewildered faces.
Why did the questions that were promised suddenly disappear?
I just thought about it carefully and found that there really was nothing to ask. Zheng Yaoyang had already said what should be said and what should not be said.
Zheng Yaoyang has already pushed himself to the front of the stage, telling them about the income they are most curious about, the tax issues they are most concerned about, and finally the news of an additional charity fund.
Revealing three major pieces of news one after another is enough for them to hit their KPIs hard and get a double year-end bonus. Journalists need to be content with what they have.
Once the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
After hearing that Zheng Yaoyang paid his taxes truthfully, the public also lost interest in this topic. After all, they probably did not even enjoy any tax benefits.
They are more concerned about whether the charity fund of up to 6 billion Hong Kong dollars is true or false, as well as Zheng Yaoyang's commitment.
Each child of school age is called school age from what age he is, and whether he is divided into citizens and villagers.
There are large areas of farmland in the Yuen Long New Territories and the North District of Hong Kong. The people living there are not citizens, but villagers, who can also be called farmers and fishermen.
They do not enjoy the basic welfare of citizens, and there are also many children of school age who have no money to go to school.
During this period, there were very few public schools in Xiangjiang, and even fewer free public schools. The students who could attend public schools were only a handful.
Education has been an important matter in the family since ancient times, and it is engraved in the bones of almost every parent. Some even traveled from the New Territories to the Bank of China Tower just to inquire about the specific operations of charity education.
When Zheng Yaoyang learned the news, he also asked Qiao Peizhi to come out and tell the public about several key projects of charity education.
The academic system in Xiangjiang is different from that in the mainland. It generally consists of six years of primary school, five years of secondary school, two years of preparatory studies, and 3-4 years of university.
Middle school and preparatory school last for a total of seven years, which is actually a combination of junior high school and high school in mainland China.
They plan to build 200 primary schools and 100 middle schools in Xiangjiang, catering for children aged 5-16.
During the eleven-year education plan, students' tuition fees, books, miscellaneous materials, and even school uniforms are all free of charge. Those with excellent grades can also receive a large scholarship.
Although Zheng Yaoyang's purpose of donating 500 million yuan was to do charity, he did not want to do charity that was purely laborious and thankless. Charity is a process, not a goal.
There are several advantages to getting involved in the education system. Firstly, it can expand one's influence. Secondly, it can turn Huanyu into a more comprehensive media group. Finally, it can't stand those brainless losers.
From the early 1990s to the new millennium, the two countries seemed to have a peaceful transfer of power, but the British in Hong Kong quietly laid many secret mines, and the waste youth was basically born during this period.
The main reason is that the education system in Xiangjiang is almost infiltrated into a sieve. The losers are cultivated from an early age, and they naturally start to make trouble when they grow up.
He didn't have the opportunity before, but now that he had this opportunity, Zheng Yaoyang took it easy and did what he could.
Public opinion was just as Zheng Yaoyang expected, and the eyes of the whole Hong Kong were focused on him.
Not only has his influence increased to a higher level, there is also news that Zheng Yaoyang, who is 21 years old, will be appointed as a Justice of the Peace next year.
If the news comes true, he will be the youngest Justice of the Peace in history, an unprecedented figure and one that will be hard to come by in the future.
Some people also feel that given Zheng Yaoyang's achievements, it would not be an exaggeration even if the Queen personally knighted him.
The title of Justice of the Peace sounds nice, but it is not particularly rare and cherished.
For details, please refer to Li Jiacheng, who obtained the title of Justice of the Peace nine years ago.
In 1981, the net worth and influence of Li Jiacheng's ten people combined were not as high as those of Zheng Yaoyang today.
They say you need to compare shopping, and after such a comparison, the title of Justice of the Peace suddenly becomes cheaper.
When Li Jiacheng heard the news, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Although it was true, it didn't need to be so straightforward.
He looked at his eldest son aside and asked, "Do you know how many people are currently in contact with Zheng Yaoyang?"
Li Zheju nodded and shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "There are really too many to count. There are 16 known treasure islands, more than 20 in Xiangjiang, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States."
"I heard that General Wei's asset management manager also found Zheng Yaoyang and invested more than US$100 million."
The US$7 billion dividend is a movable sign. After hearing that Zheng Yaoyang had relaxed investment restrictions, countless people waved banknotes and lined up to give him money.
In recent days, the entrance to Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong has been extremely lively. Every now and then, media reporters can take pictures of overseas Chinese bosses who usually live in seclusion.
They came to Hong Kong for only one purpose, which was Woodpecker Asset Management Company located in the Bank of China Tower.
Li Jiacheng frowned and couldn't help but wonder: "How much money do you think we will raise in the end?"
"I think it should be at least 10 billion. Even 13 billion is not impossible."
Li Zheju did not dare to think deeply about what would happen if Zheng Yaoyang was really allowed to control a cash asset of US$13 billion.
I'm afraid that Hong Kong will really turn into Zhengjiagang. With such a large amount of funds, anyone can be killed.
In this era where cash is king, if Zheng Yaoyang showed any interest in his company, Cheung Kong Group, acquiring them would only be a matter of minutes.
Li Jiacheng remained silent. In the future, there will really be a Supreme Emperor in the business world of Xiangjiang.
President Wei's coffin has been thrown into it. As long as he is in office, he will definitely protect Zheng Yaoyang's Zhouquan, and no one dares to do anything to him. It is comparable to a death-free gold medal.
Facts have proved that the imagination of the Li family and his son is still too poor, and their guesses are not bold enough.
At the end of one week of statistics, Woodpecker’s second project has raised a total of US$18.9 billion.
If Zheng Yaoyang hadn't limited his time limit to one week, the final amount of funds raised would have been even more.
Only 3.2 billion US dollars of this amount came from Xiangjiang, and the remaining 157 US dollars came from outside sources.
Baodao contributed 3.3 billion, Hanguo contributed 2 billion, Japan contributed 5.2 billion, and the mainland contributed 1.5 billion. The remaining US$2.7 billion came from European and American financial institutions.
I keep hearing the sound of couples setting off fireworks, and I get upset. There is only one chapter tonight.
