Do the ancient boys of this world also build schools?
In Lin Chen's original world, Goo Jai was already well-known throughout the country for his love of building schools. Some people even jokingly called him an infrastructure maniac in the entertainment industry. Without saying a word, he had built more than a hundred schools in the mainland.
Although the financial situation of Gu Zai in this life is much worse than that of Lin Chen's original world, his hobby has never changed.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen already had some concerns in his mind.
If you want to find someone to consult on charity matters in Hong Kong, who is more suitable than Goo Jai? Compared with rich second generation people like Liu Tsai, Goo Jai is obviously better able to answer Lin Chen’s doubts.
After several people finished lunch, Fang Han and his friends took their female companions to go fishing on the deck, but Lin Chen did not follow.
Seeing this, Angela wrapped her hands around Lin Chen and her eyes were filled with electricity: "Brother Lin, if you don't want to go fishing, why don't you help me apply sunscreen? I want to bask in the sun."
To apply sunscreen, you have to spread it on your body, so Angela’s intention is obviously self-evident.
It's a pity that Lin Chen has more important things to do now than beauty.
"I have something to ask Gu Zai, so you can go do it yourself first."
"Then I'll wait for you." Although Angela looked reluctant, she didn't hold her back. This woman's emotional intelligence was as high as in her previous life.
Picking up two wine glasses, Lin Chen walked to the deck and looked around, and finally found that Gu Zai was alone on the top of the ship, with no one around him.
Lin Chen walked up with a wine glass and said, "Gu Zai, let's have a drink together?"
"Thank you." Gu Zai was stunned for a moment.
Although he didn't know Lin Chen, he just saw Lin Chen and Fang Han chatting and laughing, so he knew that this was not an ordinary person, so he quickly took the wine politely and had a drink with Lin Chen.
However, he was not very enthusiastic. He just took a sip and did not continue.
Lin Chen knew that he was probably worried about money, so he took the initiative and said, "Gu Zai, I heard that you want to find someone to borrow money?"
"That's right, the Hong Kong film industry has been in a slump recently. I invested in several projects and lost money." Goo Jai sighed and took another sip of wine.
Lin Chen didn't know whether Gu Zai's character in this life was the same as in the previous one, so he tried to say: "Gu Zai, I heard that you are building schools in mainland China? You stopped those schools and took the money back, isn't it something that can be spent?
Is it difficult?"
"That's not possible." Gu Zai refused without hesitation, "The school's money cannot be touched. You don't know, Mr. Lin, that there are still many children in the mainland who cannot go to school because there are no schools. My school is their only hope for school. For these reasons
Boy, I can't get my money back."
Lin Chen gave Gu Zai a big thumbs up in his heart, but on the surface he continued to ask: "What about your own company? I heard that your company has suffered a huge deficit recently?"
"I came here today just to borrow some funds from Liu Zai. My company is currently investing in a movie. This movie has the potential to be a big hit. As long as we can hold on until it is released, we can survive this difficulty."
Gu Zai's face was solemn.
In today's world, if people want to invest in film companies, they will most likely invest in mainland film companies. There is no hope for Hong Kong films, so the possibility of finding someone willing to lend funds to them is very low.
Lin Chen didn't have much interest in Goo Jai's movies, but his attitude that he would rather bankrupt his company than persist in building a school really impressed Lin Chen.
"Gu Zai, to tell you the truth, I actually want to do some charity, but I can't find the point. If you can help me, maybe I can solve the money problem."
"Really?" Gu Zai was stunned at first, and then asked suspiciously: "Lin Sheng, what kind of charity do you want to do? If it is that kind of private charity fund, I'm afraid I can't help you."
Lin Chen was also stunned, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, Gu Zai, I really want to do charity, not to avoid taxes."
It can be said that more than 70% of private charitable foundations in the world have other than simple purposes. The main purpose of establishing these charitable funds is actually not to do charity, but to avoid taxes.
Because in many countries and regions, money in charitable funds is given tax-free treatment. As long as a few percent of the money in the charity fund is used for charity each year, the remaining money will be tax-free.
For example, overseas, a certain tycoon who is known as the world's richest man donated 99% of his net worth. Do you really think he did it for charity?
This is actually just a trick used by the richest man to avoid taxes.
Compared with the mainland, overseas inheritance taxes are very shocking. If the wealth is not injected into the charity fund, as long as the richest man dies, more than half of his wealth will have to be used to pay inheritance tax. But after the money is injected into the charity fund,
, his wealth will be firmly in the hands of his family and will not be lost due to his personal life or death.
Due to historical reasons, Hong Kong Island's laws on inheritance tax and charitable funds are similar to those overseas. Therefore, many Hong Kong Island tycoons also have the habit of setting up private charity funds to avoid taxes.
Why did Fang Han tell Lin Chen that several of his friends could inquire about charity funds for him? It was because the families of his friends had also set up similar charity funds for tax avoidance.
Gu Zai was worried that Lin Chen also had the purpose of avoiding tax, that's why he said what he just said.
Lin Chen explained: "To be fair, Goo Jai, I have a lot of money in my hand now that I want to use for charity. When I was in the Mainland, I asked a friend to do this for me, but neither I nor I
Friends, I don’t know much about how to do charity, and the efficiency is too low. If possible, I hope to find a knowledgeable person to manage this money for me and use it for charity effectively and quickly.”
Goo Jai was a little surprised and said: "Is that so? I have set up the 'Goo Jai Charitable Foundation'. The main job of this foundation is to build schools for those children in remote areas. If you want to do it, Mr. Lin,
If you have one, I can introduce you to the person in charge of my foundation..."
"Why do you need so much trouble to build a school? I'm also very interested! Since you already have a foundation, Goo Jai, why don't I invest money directly in your foundation, and you will be responsible for helping me use the money to build a foundation?"
Charity, how about it?”
"You invest money in my foundation?" Goo Jai couldn't help but ask, "Lin Sheng, aren't you worried that I am greedy for your money?"
After Lin Chen heard this, he immediately made a calculation in his mind.
If I give money to Goo Jai, the chance that he will hack it is... 0%!
As expected, he is the only man with solar energy.
Lin Chen suddenly felt confident.
He laughed and said: "I'm not worried, Goo Jai, I believe in your character! Let's do this! I will inject 500 million Hong Kong dollars into your foundation in advance! When it runs out, I will continue to inject capital. By the way, your company is not short of money.
Money? Tell me too and I will lend it to you as well."
