Rebirth of the Tech Madman - Chapter 1049

The richest man has been on the “Forbes US 400 Rich List” and “Forbes Global Rich List” for so many years. His net worth of billions of dollars, tens of billions, and hundreds of billions of dollars is generally snowballing, not to mention how enthusiastic people are. .

Although the rich list is already intuitive enough, people still inevitably gossip: How much does such a super-rich earn money in a year?

Obviously, this answer cannot be obtained directly, and it can only be solved in a roundabout way.

For example, look at how much income tax the richest man pays a year, and then reverse it.

It is still obvious that the richest man who is not in the political arena will only disclose his tax situation when he is full. This is a high level of confidentiality.

It seems to be the thoughts of countless curious people. The pioneer of the “Black Tang” media camp, the New York Post under News Corporation, published the tax return that the informant allegedly intercepted part of the e-mail content, and that’s it. Let the personal finances of the richest man reveal the tip of the iceberg.

The two-page tax return stated that in 1993, the year the US economy emerged from the Great Depression after the end of the Cold War, the richest man paid US$42.4 million in income taxes.

According to this data, the personal income of the richest man in 1993 should be about 160 million US dollars.

After the onlookers saw this answer, they suddenly realized: It turned out to be at this level, and it really happened! However, it seems that compared with the numbers previously imagined, it is a bit unfinished.

In stark contrast to these popular talks, the elite group is not so happy.

One of the main reasons for this is due to the fact that such purely personal attacks are not “kind” and tend to have the idea of ​​hurting them.

There are more intelligent people who taste it faintly, I am afraid that there is still a back hand in it.

Gein, the tax payment that was revealed is for the average person. It is indeed an unattainable number; but in the eyes of discerning people, its ability to attract money relative to the richest man is a high level of difficulty, and then it can make a big fuss.

The plan of the whistleblower may be to use such a tax return to hype up the hot spots of public opinion; after those who don’t know the truth marvel at how much tax is paid by the richest man, they will release strong evidence to point out: Do you think this is enough? In fact, the richest man should pay more taxes!

The insidious thing here is that whether the richest man can fight back depends on his true taxation situation.

Comparing heart to heart is a test of human nature, especially when people are smarter and have more methods to use.

To put it bluntly, without mentioning the possibility of tax evasion, there are far more common-sense tax avoidance approaches such as lowering the total income and delaying the time of income. How many people can abandon it?

The richest man who returned to San Francisco now sneered looking at the tax return revealed by the “New York Post”.

If Warren Buffett hadn’t reminded him before, then although he wouldn’t treat this new type of tax return affair as an old scandal and would be too lazy to deal with it, it is very likely to deal with it slowly.

And now, Tang Huan had already smelled the conspiracy in it.

This is a set meal, can’t I get out of this “human nature” frame?

If this is the case, when this scandal converges with the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation’s monopoly case, after a chemical effect, the general trend is really gone.

Perhaps, the dignified richest man, like the “king of oil” Mark Rich, had to give up everything in the United States and flee.

Just thinking, Brad Swalberg, CEO of Zheru Software, David Boyce, chief attorney of Zheru Software’s lawyers, etc., came together to file a monopoly case against the United States of America against Zheru Software. The current progress will be notified.

Among the two most watched gossips in the United States, compared to US President Bill Clinton, who delivered a national speech on his 52nd birthday, which is August 19 this year, and apologized to the public with tears of tears. , The miserable drama that admits that the “zipper door” is true, the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation’s monopoly case is much more masculine.

The world’s largest accounting firm, Arthur Andersen Certified Public Accountants, commissioned by the Ministry of Justice, has audited that Zheru Software is involved in subsidies to control some of the accounts of other manufacturers, thereby further confirming the evidence of industry monopoly.

With the release of the report of Arthur Andersen Certified Public Accountants, the strength of Zheru Software has also given the outside world a more intuitive understanding.

For example, Zheru Software’s cash reserves are nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars. To describe it in the words of the Ministry of Justice, it is enough to easily wipe out any new challengers in the embryonic stage in a flash.

Just like the “zipper door” of US President Bill Clinton, the reason for being hit is not a violation of morals, but obstruction of justice. The essence of the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company is that Zheru Software Company is in The industry is so strong that market regulation has lost its due role.

Of course, Zheru Software Company will definitely not admit that it is bigger than the market, but think that the Ministry of Justice abuses administrative power and interferes in the market freely.

Brad Svolberg said with great annoyance: “Damn Arthur Andersen, I think we hate us for handing over the business to Ernst & Young, not it. Taking this opportunity to deliberately issue misleading , Reports on the effects of incitement.”

“There are already discussions now, thinking that Philosophy Software is deliberately avoiding taxes by storing tens of billions of dollars in cash reserves in Ireland in Europe, rather than in the United States.”

“Doesn’t everyone do it like this? Why should we philosopher software company bear infamy for this unspoken rule?”

David Boyce glanced at the richest man, and said meaningfully: “In terms of taxation, it is better to be cautious.”

“You don’t have any doubts about this. Both the company and me personally respect the rules.” After Tang Huan finished speaking lightly, he picked up a document in front of him and handed it to David Boyce. “This is my 1993 tax return that the New York Post recently hyped up. It is the complete version.”

David Boyce immediately looked curiously. When he turned to the third page, his eyes widened, and the look on his face didn’t know how wonderful it was.

Seeing this, Brad Svolberg couldn’t help but want to go over to see what was going on, but suddenly realized that this was the boss’s affair, so he had to covertly adjust his sitting posture on the chair.

The richest man waved his hand casually, “If you are interested, just take a look. Anyway, it will be made public sooner or later.”

With this permission, everyone no longer cared about their identity, stretched their necks, got together, and then followed in David Boyce’s footsteps.

David Boyce gave a light cough and solemnly said: “Tang is worthy of the public image of Zheru Software Company for many years. With this complete version of the tax return, he can dispel all the doubts about tax avoidance of Zheru Software. We The team of lawyers can also be more confident and demonstrative in court.”

It can be seen that David Boyce, who is invigorated, is sincerely complimenting. After all, it’s not easy to meet a money owner who has money but doesn’t care about losses.

Brad Svolberg, with his eyes shining brightly, asked excitedly: “Tang, when are you going to publish this full version of the tax return?”

Tang Huan replied playfully: “Of course they led public opinion to me for tax evasion.”

“That should be soon.” Brad Svolberg confidently speculated: “I guess, in these two days, these guys will definitely move further.”

David Boyce looked at Tang Huan, where the old **** was, and at Brad Svolberg, who was eager to try. He couldn’t help but mutter: I, a person who doesn’t usually like to watch the show, is It’s too timid for you to say.

However, David Boyce did his best to bring the topic back to the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation’s monopoly case, “The Ministry of Justice would rather focus on the pressure of administrative power to interfere in the market’s freedom, but also to promote the progress of the litigation. Therefore, just relying on the court debate, the format will become more and more unfavorable for us.”

The richest man thought for a while, and then confessed: “You will insist on it for more than a month. When it enters November, among the 20 federal states that sued Zheru Software’s monopoly case, there should be members withdrawing.”

David Boyce did not go to the roots to ask why Tang Huan came to such a conclusion, but continued to frown and said: “Even if the lineup of the monopoly lawsuit against Zheru Software Company shrinks, the progress of the case will not be materially affected. “

“It is true.” Tang Huan nodded in agreement, “However, the reasons for these states to withdraw will affect the progress of the case.”

David Boyce raised his brows, and he couldn’t hide his curiosity and asked the bottom line, “I don’t know what reason will appear in two months?”

“Didn’t the Ministry of Justice always insist that Zheru Software is so strong in the industry that market regulation loses its due role.” The richest man smiled slightly, “Then there will be an example that proves that there is still effective competition in the software industry. !”

David Boyce sighed, “Since there is such a turning point, the lawyers know more about it.”

…

After the “New York Post” broke the news that the richest man’s tax return was made five years ago, it was suddenly the same. However, it is not satisfied yet, and claims that he still has some stubborn expectations, and everyone will wait and see.

During this period of time, the “New York Daily News”, which had been suppressed to death, saw that the rivals in the same city were so proud, and it was so depressed to vomit blood.

You know, the “New York Daily News”, also published in New York, has always focused on local news, using about 80% of the space to report on local events in New York, and then based on this in New York City and New York State. The volume has surpassed major newspapers such as the New York Times, New York Post, and The Wall Street Journal.

Unexpectedly, now the “New York Post” turned over with just one tax return.

For this reason, Mortimer Zuckerman, the owner of the “New York Daily News”, was very annoyed, and roared to let his subordinates find a way to quickly step on the “New York Post” again.

Unlike serious newspapers such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post has increased the proportion of pornographic news since it fell into Rupert Murdoch, and it has faced the New York Daily News directly. Lands compete for circulation, and the two media outlets often scold each other regardless of demeanor, and even drag each other’s bosses into the water.

Mortimer Zuckerman has been informed, and the “New York Post” is preparing to add fuel to the fire and launch the newly prepared “Mr. Richest Man Tax Evasion” news, so that the gathered popularity will take a step forward.

He doesn’t care whether the “Mr. Richest Man Tax Evasion” is true. Anyway, the essence of pornographic news is to use sensational headlines to get people’s attention. The key is how to smash the rising market of the “New York Post”.

Mortimer Zuckerman, who started from the real estate industry, is the owner of the “New York Daily News,” but he is also an active media commentator and even serves as the editor-in-chief.

So, when the “New York Post” suddenly rose up like chicken blood, Mortimer Zuckerman rolled up his sleeves and went into battle himself.

At the meeting, the subordinates who were forced by the boss to think about ways to deal with it, UU read www.uukanshu. Com desperately suggested: “The New York Post has received so much attention recently because of Tang’s tax bills. It’s better to ask Tang to respond. Anyway, when the New York Post attacked Tang many times before, He came to us to fight back, and he has a fairly good foundation for cooperation.”

Mortimer Zuckerman is not commenting on this, because he is a billionaire himself, and he understands the subtle psychology and practices of the rich for tax filings, naturally, much better than ordinary people.

Seeing that the boss didn’t catch up, the “New York Daily News” group had to change their minds and directions, and think of other ways.

While he was struggling, Mortimer Zuckerman answered a phone call, and then went to check the e-mail on the computer in ecstasy.

…

The “New York Post”, which has always been unafraid to attract controversy, has promoted the hype of the richest man’s tax payment turmoil to a higher level.

It first laid out a lot of evidence, and then vowed to point out: There is enough evidence to show that Tang’s personal income five years ago was at least 200 million U.S. dollars. Therefore, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion that Tang evaded taxes!

“The New York Post” originally thought that this hot news would definitely make its sales reach a new historical high.

Unexpectedly, on the same day, the “New York Daily News” also reported on the tax status of the richest man, and the headline on the front page was even stronger: “Tang’s real tax bill can scare you!”

Compared to the news that the “New York Post” received from anonymous sources, the “New York Daily News” announced that it had obtained the official tax return of the richest man, and ridiculed his nemesis in the same city: “Idiot, can you just Calculate the arithmetic problems within 100 million? Don also paid the alternative minimum tax of 248 million U.S. dollars. Is it hidden by you? Or Rupert Murdoch never pays the alternative minimum tax?”
