Paying taxes is quite powerful in China. In fact, it is very powerful in any country. Paying taxes in the United States is even more severe.
But Ye Ming has been planning this move for a long time. As a time traveler, if you don't guard against this move, you will be embarrassed to tell others that you came from time travel.
Therefore, Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This is naturally different. If my movie is invested by Huihuang Film and Television, then I will definitely pay taxes on the box office received on time. After all, the company is registered here.
But Huihui.com is different. Huihui.com is registered in the Cayman Islands. This investment in a movie like Slumdog Millionaire is a matter of Huihui.com and has no direct relationship with Huihui Film and Television."
This is Ye Ming's method. The company is not registered directly in China, but transferred to the Cayman Islands. Hearing this, Han Shanping was stunned for a moment: "Isn't your company all yours? I remember
Are they all registered in China?"
Ye Ming said calmly: "Third Master, I am not the only one who owns the shares of Huihuang.com. It has Quantum Fund and some other foreign shares. I am just the major shareholder. Therefore,
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble at this time, in fact, when I was cooperating with Quantum Fund, I had already transferred the company to Cayman.
In this place, you can open a company with a nominal amount of money, pay a small management fee every year, and you can do whatever you want with the rest, and no one cares what other taxes you want, such as Coca-Cola,
Major international companies such as Microsoft and Apple are generally registered in offshore ports like the Cayman Islands."
This is an international trend. Later, many Internet companies in China learned to transfer their companies to the Cayman Islands.
However, this is a new situation after all. Ye Ming is very familiar with it, but it does not mean that Han Shanping is also familiar with this matter. Therefore, in such a situation, Han Shanping hesitated and said: "Okay, this matter
Let’s talk about this first. You can go back first. If anything happens, I will come back to you.”
Ye Ming used a trick to escape from the golden cicada, so Han Shanping was also in trouble. After sending Ye Ming away, Han Shanping found the leader with some depression and told several leaders directly about the situation, and Han Shanping also continued to express
He expressed his own point of view: "I think this kid Ye Ming has been prepared for a long time. Who would have thought that he would transfer his company to the Cayman Islands? I don't even know this place. I didn't even know it before this."
I have never heard of a place like the Cayman Islands.”
Naturally, Han Shanping had never heard of it before, because there were not many companies in China that could play like this, and it was not as popular as it would be in the future.
At this time, the leader thought for a moment, and then made a phone call. He carefully inquired about the information of Ye Ming's two companies, and then said with a serious face: "You are right. The registration of Ye Ming's Huihuang.com is indeed
Not in China, but in Cayman, this guy has been prepared for a long time, our opponent is a bit cunning."
The leader dislikes such subordinates the most. If you say that Ye Ming is obedient, then everything is easy to say, but what Ye Ming has shown is obviously not the kind of person who can be very obedient.
Another fat leader who was also biased against Ye Ming said: "Then what should we do in such a situation? Is it true that we have nothing to do with a guy like Ye Ming?"
There is no way. Let people like this take seven to eight billion and not collect any taxes at all."
Another leader said helplessly: "What can you do about this? It's not money from Huihuang Film and Television. We have no right to collect money at all. Now the seven or eight billion yuan has not gone to Huihuang.com, even if it has arrived, it is still
Companies in Cayman are considered foreign capital.
Ye Ming's company is also registered abroad for the money he earns outside. According to our country's laws, there is no possibility of collecting money. If there is, then he can collect it at the domestic box office, even if it is foreign.
As companies and movies, we also need to collect taxes."
When it comes to the domestic box office of Slumdog Millionaire, it is somewhat difficult to say something like this. After all, in such a situation, the domestic box office tax is equivalent to three melons and two dates, and
International box office is different.
The fat leader said: "I don't think there is any need to be polite to this guy Ye Ming. Since this guy changed the company's registered address to Cayman early, in such a situation, it means that he has serious intentions."
Beware of us, this person is not easy to control, we have to hammer it, if he transfers those box office to Huihuang Film and Television, then we can still let him go, but if he does not agree, directly deal with this kid, anyway, Beijing
The Olympic bid was also successful.
Even if it was said to deal with Ye Ming, it was justified. Also, didn't Jackson say he wanted to hold a concert? This is not Ye Ming's responsibility. If he said that without our nod, could they hold the concert? He refused directly.
This kid Ye Ming has also been banned. Anyone who disobeys us will be given a good beating."
Ye Ming is so awesome at what he does. He has a box office of 7 to 8 billion and does not benefit the Radio, Film and Television Bureau at all. Can the leaders be happy when they see something like this? It is impossible to be happy at all.
Therefore, in such a matter, what Ye Ming did was indeed a bit excessive. At least in the eyes of the leaders, it was a sign of disobedience.
Han Shanping immediately said: "I don't need to ask about this. Ye Ming is a die-hard guy. Since this is what he is doing, he will never give up. Let him move the box office here. In a situation like this
It's simply impossible. If he was willing to transfer, he wouldn't say that he would directly set up a company in Cayman in such a matter."
It has to be said that Han Shanping knows Ye Ming quite well, so his words are a very thorough analysis of Ye Ming's character. No need to ask Ye Ming, Ye Ming will not agree.
But at this time, the fat leader said unhappily: "If you don't agree, then you are disobedient. Just ban him directly. We don't have Ye Ming in China. Isn't the film industry going to develop?"
The leader hates his subordinates who don't listen to him. Therefore, at this time, the fat leader's words immediately caused most people to nod. This matter was settled in this way.
How can we collect money in China? If we transfer it to China, we can collect money. As Han Shanping walked out, he thought about leading such a strange problem. It was indeed a very strange question. This matter,
I don’t know what the leader thinks.
Why did Ye Ming transfer his company to Cayman? Didn't he say that he didn't want to pay so much taxes? But if Ye Ming is willing to transfer it at this time, why doesn't he register the company directly?
Coming to China is easy.
Although Han Shanping thought the same way.
But in a situation like this, more importantly, he himself is still on Ye Ming's side.
But some things are ordered by the leader, even if it is Han Shanping, he can only execute them.
Therefore, under such a situation, Ye Ming received a call from the third master again. This time, the third master did not directly ask Ye Ming to come over, but explained the leader's intention on the phone.
Sure enough, Third Master knew Ye Ming very well. After hearing this, Ye Ming thought about it and said, "You don't need to say more about this matter. Third Master, I will not transfer the money, and,
This also represents the interests of the company. Even if I am willing, the shareholders are not willing. You must know that this is not my company. If I do that, they will probably unite to impeach me."
Ye Ming actually signed an agreement with Quantum Fund and the others. Ye Ming has absolute controlling rights over the entire Huihuang.com, so there is no such thing as a shareholder impeaching him.
But at this time, Han Shanping didn't know about such a thing.
Therefore, Han Shanping knew that he could not persuade Ye Ming, so he said helplessly: "You brat, I know you have such a temper. From my personal standpoint, I really appreciate a person like you."
I have a bad temper, but from the perspective of the country, I can’t stand such a thing. Some leaders can’t stand it either.”
Ye Ming also said helplessly: "Well, Third Master, I don't understand. You said that my company is registered outside, and I make money with foreigners' money, so why are there still people in China who care about my box office?"
Well, do I have to pay taxes when I make money? According to the law, there is no problem if I don’t pay taxes. This is legal."
Han Shanping and Ye Ming were also relatively familiar with each other, so he did not hide anything at all, but said directly: "Actually, what you said is right on this issue, but one thing is, you made money.
You put yourself on the fire.
Some people are jealous of your money. There is nothing wrong with whether your company is registered in China, and your money is earned by foreigners, but you are Chinese, and just because you are Chinese, you
Naturally, the leaders were a little displeased with making money without paying taxes. That's why we came up with such a proposal.
But since you are so insistent, let me tell you the news, that is, if you disagree, you will be banned directly, Jackson will not come to China, and your movie "囧囧" will not be released.
"
This is a threat. You can call it a threat or a punishment. Anyway, it’s just because the leader can’t stand it and wants to wear your little shoes.
Ye Ming was immediately taken aback, and said in surprise: "Third Master, this is not right, why? My Thai囧 movie has passed the censorship, and it is said that it has obtained a screening license. In this case
If you say you won't let me show it, then you have to give me a reason, right?"
Yes, if a censored movie is not allowed to be screened without a suitable reason, it would be a bit hard to convince the public.
Han Shanping said with a smile: "You kid, don't try to kidnap public opinion. Anyway, as long as the bureau wants to prevent you from being released, they will definitely find reasons that are convincing enough for everyone.
Don't talk about your movies that have been censored, even if you talk about the movies that have been released, as long as the people above them give the nod, it is not one or two movies.
Therefore, when it comes to a matter like this, just accept your fate. Who told you to be disobedient?"
This, Ye Ming immediately thought of a very, very famous movie, Farewell My Concubine directed by Chen Kaige. This movie, directed by Chen Kaige, won many international awards. It should be banned from being screened because it is so famous and the awards it won are not
If there are too many, then just pass the censorship and a few small screenings will be a step down for yourself and the director.
This movie is a typical example of a movie that passed censorship but was banned from screening.
If I go to see this kind of thing, people from the General Administration will definitely do it. Therefore, at a time like this, Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Forget it, just ban it, but I believe it can't be banned forever.
, what Brother Chen Kai can do, I can also do."
What Brother Chen Kai did was to say Farewell My Concubine. This movie is definitely an exception, and this is not the only exception Director Chen made. There was also the scene of the Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain and the Dragon Prince. As a result, the Dragon Prince
The guy attracted fans, which caused Director Chen's movie to almost be censored. However, at this time, Director Chen's energy was so great that he directly found someone to get the movie censored.
There are only two directors who can do this in China, one is Brother Chen Kai, and the other is national teacher Zhang Yimou.
Anyway, apart from these two great directors who have won numerous international awards, anyone else who dares to disobey will die, and Feng Xiaogang is no exception. Back then, Wang Shuo became a director for the first time and filmed the movie "I Am Your Father"
.It was also the only film directed by Feng Xiaogang in which he starred. It was also banned. It was because he was disobedient and went to participate in foreign film festivals without censorship.
Of course, director Feng Xiaogang later starred in "Old Pao", a somewhat autobiographical film starring Director Feng, but that is in the future.
Ye Ming said that he would do what Director Chen Kaige did. This also made Han Shanping very happy. He laughed and said: "Actually, I still support you, but some leaders are not happy to see you disobeying. Do it well."
If you can do this, it's not impossible for your "囧囧" to be released. Then I'll just fight for you." (To be continued...)
