Almighty in the city

"Just mention it." Bai Yifan smiled, "However, the salary of a star is still very different from VC investment. The ones I talked about with your brother and Lao Tan just now are used by VCs to raise them. A common method for the'value' of a certain company invested in is to create an artificially high future value through the flow of capital. Simply put, it is to draw a big pie for the'receivers' and fool them into spending several times. To take over."

After a pause, he watched Jiang Lai continue and said: "The star's remuneration involves the operation and operation of the capital. To put it bluntly, it is'money laundering' and'tax evasion', but the industry generally refers to this as'reasonable' Tax avoidance'."

"In my opinion, the issue of star pay is not essentially different from those companies that VCs invest in?" Jiang Lai frowned. She is also familiar with some rules and operating methods of the capital circle, but for entertainment. I’m not familiar with the circle, and now he said, “Both are essentially to enhance the expectations of others, thereby increasing the original value of the star or the invested company.”

"No.no.no——" Jiang Haokun shook his head at his sister, "Xiao Lai, you are too naive, thinking about everything too beautifully."

"It's still beautiful..." Lin Xiaojia, who had been dumbfounded for a long time, stuck out her tongue and muttered in a low voice.

Who would have thought that this whisper would be heard clearly by Jiang Haokun.

He turned his head and glanced at this youthful and lively short-haired beauty, and shrugged his shoulders: "Why don't you say that you new artists are too.young (too.simple), this pool in the entertainment industry? It is hundreds of times, thousands of times deeper than you think."

Why did Lin Xiaojia think of her subconscious whisper, which made Jiang Haokun listen to it, and the latter gave such a comment to her whisper, she suddenly panicked, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, let alone dare not again There was a slight noise.

"Okay, isn't it wrong that people are pure in nature--" Tan Zongming shook his head and said to Jiang Haokun, "You, don't people in the world have to speculate on this world with the greatest malice, so that they are not too young? , Too simple? Well, Xiaolin, don't listen to his nonsense. The most important thing for people is to keep their original intentions and not forget their original intentions."

"I said, big brother, you must either explain it to me well, or just shut up and don't interrupt." Jiang Lai couldn't help but speak when he saw the topic gradually being crooked.

Jiang Haokun shrugged, raised his hands to her, and then the index finger of his right hand moved across his lips from left to right, signalling to surrender and shut up.

Jiang Lai turned to Bai Yifan again.

Bai Yifan chuckled and continued: "The way VCs use capital to operate is essentially to find a taker for the project they invest in. This taker can be a stockholder who buys shares after the invested company is listed, or it can be Other VCs and investors attracted by the valuation of the company after his capital operation, in short, the essence of VC is to raise the price and then turn to cash, thus obtaining huge benefits."

"But the star's salary is different-I just said that a star with a salary of 60 million, his agency may actually get only 10 million, and this million can get the star. Yes, it may only be one million, and the remaining nine million have become shares."

"So, where did the 50 million go? This involves the two things I just said about'money laundering' and'tax evasion."

"There are many types of taxes in Kyushu, and different types of taxes have very different tax rates. For example, the higher the income, the higher the overall tax rate; the tax rate for labor compensation is a fixed value. Because If there is a tax rate difference, there is also room for manipulation. Let’s use your brother as an analogy—"

"Why is it me again?" Jiang Haokun was immediately unhappy, "I said Yifan, you are not kind, just like me, now you should change to Lao Tan."

"It's just an analogy, don't be so serious." Bai Yifan smiled, "I didn't say you did this too."

"He, this is called a guilty conscience." Tan Zongming smiled.

Jiang Haokun rolled his eyes and simply shut up and said nothing.

Bai Yifan smiled and continued to say to Jiang Lai: "Suppose there is a businessman A who needs to avoid a 50 million personal income tax. At this time, he happened to have a friend who was planning to invest in a movie, so he planned to borrow this movie. The downwind of the movie, the 50 million that should be paid according to the personal income tax, is sent to the star's brokerage company in the form of labor compensation. In this way, the personal income tax calculated by the level of tax rate becomes a fixed labor compensation tax. Don’t underestimate the difference in tax rates, 50 million yuan from personal income tax to labor remuneration tax can save at least millions of dollars."

After a pause, he continued: "This is the first, and there is another situation-Kyushu’s foreign exchange control has always been relatively strict. Kyushu’s domestic funds want to be invested in foreign exchange. Going abroad is basically the financial city."

"However, relying on registering a leather bag company and relying on false transactions to exchange domestic funds into foreign exchange and then invest them abroad is very risky. Once found, the consequences will be very serious."

"So, there is a brokerage company registered in the Financial City, and then the money is paid in the form of actors' remuneration, and then transferred through the Financial City to invest the money abroad, in order to break the domestic control on foreign exchange capital."

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows: "I understand, whether it is tax avoidance or the second case, the 50 million is not actually a reward for the celebrities, but is temporarily loaned to them to achieve tax avoidance or Is the purpose of transferring funds."

"Bingo!" Bai Yifan snapped his fingers. "So even if the star set up a studio on his own, at most, he took the original brokerage company to open a subsidiary and used it to bundle his 9 million shares. He got all the cash, and the other 50 million has nothing to do with him."

"I'm afraid that part of the real salary of 10 million yuan is still worth it because of his ability to help tax avoidance or transfer funds." Jiang Lai said, "It is no wonder that these entertainment stars are paid now. One is higher than the other, and with the shrinking film and television market, their pay has not decreased, but has been getting higher and higher-in the final analysis, this is the real source."

"Otherwise--" Jiang Haokun stretched his waist and looked at his sister. "The essence of capital is to pursue the best interests. You really think those capitalists are stupid and blind, so spend tens of millions to get one. Star filming? With these tens of millions, I will find a few more people to join together. It is enough to hold one of my own. I need to invite them to be the protagonists."

"Then you still voted 50 million for "Run, Funny!" this time." Jiang Lai rolled his eyes at him.

Jiang Haokun sighed and said: "No way, who told Lao Tan and Yifan to find me. Your brother and I have no other advantages, just righteousness!"

"You get it." Tan Zongming also gave him a roll of his eyes, "If I didn't guarantee that I lost money, then the money would count as mine. Would you just spend 50 million in this way? It would cost you a prime time for advertising. Haggling, didn't you want me to speak in the end."
