Seeing the two daughters of the Bao family and their husband, Li Feng can only feel the shrewdness of the king.
It has to be said that the ship king was worthy of being a man of the moment and an elite talent in the world business community at that time. Not to mention the position of the richest man of Chinese at that time, the position of Chuanwang in the world business community at that time was absolutely resounding, and the name of "Baolong king" can be seen.
Not to mention the ability and status of Chuanwang's business circles, but to say the distribution of Chuanwang's heritage shows its shrewd side.
Ship king's business is roughly divided into two parts, one is the marine business - global shipping series, and the other is the land business - huidefeng series. Naturally, in addition to these two major industries, Chuanwang's private investment and other industries are also distributed all over the world.
He handed over the maritime shipping business (except Japan) to his eldest daughter and son-in-law. At that time, the market value of the company was about US $10 billion. He handed over the de Feng series (except Japan) to his second daughter and son-in-law. At that time, the market value of the company was also about US $10 billion.
The third daughter married to Japan, but gave all the industry of the ship king in Japan to the third daughter. Don't underestimate Japan's industry.
At that time, when the ship king died, it was the craziest time of Japanese real estate at that time, coupled with insurance, trade and other industries. Although it is not as good as the first two, the third daughter has been given some compensation in the private investment group and family fund behind. On the whole, it is not inferior to the assets obtained by the first two.
Finally, the youngest daughter and her son-in-law married the US emperor. Therefore, Chuanwang compensated the third daughter with private global investment group and family funds, but most of them were handed over to the youngest daughter's son-in-law.
It is said that there are nearly 10 billion US dollars of national bonds, stocks, cash and other assets. Almost all the assets assigned to the four daughters are equally distributed. Considering the status of the two sons-in-law of the later ship king in Xiangjiang, they are definitely the top rich in Xiangjiang. One can imagine how rich the assets left by the ship king are.
……
It is said that the ship king almost evenly distributed all the assets of about $40 billion under his control to his four daughters. Of course, the $40 billion is under his control, not all of which are privately owned by the ship king himself.
Many people may wonder, don't you need to pay inheritance tax on the inheritance of the ship king to his children? Doesn't it mean that the inheritance tax should be half? In fact, this problem is still the same.
No matter where you inherit the shares of the enterprise, as long as you do not choose to cash out the shares, you will not be allowed to pay taxes, which is the protection of the long-term operation of the enterprise. Therefore, in addition to family charitable funds, the rich also have a way to avoid tax, that is to establish family private enterprises.
Then the assets are classified into the enterprise, and then left to future generations. As long as this part of the shares do not choose to cash out and enjoy dividends, the property can be inherited forever.
The assets left by Chuanwang to his children are a combination of the two ways. The two core industries are directly handed over to the two daughters, so that they can inherit the shares and management rights of the enterprise, as long as they do not cash out. Similarly, the latter two little daughters inherited some businesses, family investment companies and charitable funds, and carried out reasonable tax avoidance.
The Wharton family of Wal Mart is the most famous for leaving assets to future generations in the form of enterprises. After the old Wharton died, he did not give all his inheritance to several children. Their names can be found on the annual wealth list of future members of the Wharton family, and they are very high.
Old Sam Wharton incorporated his personal assets, such as the Wharton family investment company, which is completely controlled by family members, and then put Wal Mart's shares under the name of the investment company.
Then let the next generation women get the shares of the family investment company and inherit the shares of the company. Naturally, it does not need to be called estate tax. Naturally, it is still a very complex operation, which can not be explained by such a simple sentence.
……
Including the boat charter king and later generations of Li Superman, the assets of these super rich have been smoothly inherited to the next generation. There are no more than two forms: one is directly passed on to the next generation in the form of enterprise shares, and the second is family funds.
Many people in later generations are saying that the United States emperor or European countries collect inheritance tax for the rich families. In fact, in Li Feng's view, for example, the United States emperor is the middle class. If they die, most of their property will pay inheritance tax obediently. It's not that these people don't have so much financial resources and energy to handle these affairs.
Even many heirs simply auction the property they want to inherit directly. There is no way. They can't afford to pay the estate tax. They can only pay the estate tax after the auction and get the cash. As a result, it's good to get half of the inherited estate. Often the rich family won't have such a problem.
To put it bluntly, a country like the United States still makes rules for the rich. After all, it is the rich who occupy the ruling class, isn't it?
Just like this time, if Li Feng buys the remaining shares of Standard Chartered Bank from the Bao family, even if it is a huge cash transaction, and the amount of this transaction is fully transferred to the private investment company or charitable fund controlled by the Bao family, he will pay a little enterprise income tax at most, and there is no need to pay personal income tax at all.
……
In any case, the Xiangjiang Bao family can't be underestimated at any time. Unfortunately, the Bao boat king died a little earlier, and Li Feng wished he could not meet him.
The eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law of the Bao family are regular guests on the rich list. Everyone is worth billions or tens of billions of dollars. As for the third son-in-law and the fourth son-in-law, they are very low-key and can hardly see their news.
In fact, although the third and fourth sons in law are not as conspicuous as the eldest and the second, their strength is by no means poor. However, they choose to keep a low profile and live by family funds. Nominally, these wealth are not their own, and no one can take them.
After some introduction, Li Feng and his party walked into Li's villa.
"Pei Rong, Pei Hui, this is Mr. John Lee from the United States. I was entrusted by him to contact you. You know the general things, that is, about the remaining shares of Standard Chartered Bank in your hands.
You have been reducing your holdings of Standard Chartered shares before, and Mr. Li is very interested in the remaining shares in your hands. As for how to talk about it, you can talk about it yourself, and our family won't participate. " He left the study to Li Feng and the Bao sisters for the time being. Li Chaoren said frankly, and then left the room with his two sons.
Obviously, although Li Superman helped the two sides contact once, the details will not be involved. In this regard, the Li family and his son are very smart. Whether you talk successfully or not, we are watching outside.
……
Watching the Li family leave, Li Feng smiled and didn't care. The talent of the Bao family in front of him is Li Feng's goal, isn't it.
