Of course, those who don't believe the rumors of Chen William and Fan Bingbing will never believe it, and those who believe can find reasons to choose to believe it.

For example, those who questioned will find that Fan Bingbing went to France to participate in the catwalk, the brand is Hermes, and now it is owned by Chen William.

And it seems that for a rich man like Chen William, there is no need to meet such a celebrity as Fan Bingbing, just to invest in her studio...

But fans are like this, as long as there is a reason, they can convince themselves to believe. Just like those nc fans who collapsed, even if you put the real hammer in the present, they will say that everything is fake, believe it or not.

Therefore, like now, it is nothing more than raising Fan Bingbing's popularity. As long as the reporter does not photograph conclusive evidence, she can still deny the relationship between the two.

However, these are valid for the public. For Paris, it is still unclear what is involved.

So saying this to William Chen at this time is a very clear indication of her dissatisfaction.

William Chen: The weather is really nice today hahaha.

But no matter what, Paris was still very happy when she learned the reason why William Chen took her to see Uncle Tom today.

She also understands that in William Chen's heart, Uncle Tom is already like a family member, so today's meeting is still very important.

This is the first time Uncle Tom has introduced his girlfriend to William Chen. On such an occasion, William Chen chooses to bring her with him, which also shows the status of Paris in his heart.

In fact, Paris also knows that there are many women around William Chen, but among these people, the one who feels the most threatening is Ivanta.

If Chen William finally chooses a person to officially enter the marriage, Paris believes that it will definitely only be one of her and Ivanta, so as long as she can defeat Ivanta, it will be the most successful for her. feeling thing.

Uncle Tom's girlfriend is named Kristen Davis, with neat shoulder-length short hair and looks very temperamental.

She is the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, and Paris has a lot to talk about. The two seem to have a good conversation.

The dinner was held at Uncle Tom's house. After dinner, William Chen and Uncle Tom came to his study.

"Looks like you have something to tell me."

Uncle Tom looked at William Chen's slightly surprised expression and said:

"I've watched you grow up, and you can't hide your expression from me, William."

"That's it, Uncle Tom..."

William Chen told Tom what his assistant Kevin told him after talking with John Drey that day.

To put it simply, Chen William made a huge amount of wealth by shorting in the subprime mortgage crisis. This matter will be known to everyone over time. Although these gains are obtained through legal means, they are too dazzling and very dazzling. It is easy to be criticized by others, thereby inciting the public's hatred of the rich.

Therefore, for these aspects, the advice given by the Drey family is to let him take the initiative in public opinion through two aspects.

First, the biggest headache for the U.S. government right now is the damage to the financial system. Now all banks are dying, hoping for government bailouts.

Originally, the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Reserve did not want to bail out through direct capital injection or loans, but the chain reaction caused by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers forced them to be cautious.

Therefore, if you can take out a portion of the capital to participate in the rescue process, you will not only gain the favor of the government, but also take advantage of this opportunity to hunt for the bottom and gain some financial voice.

After all, the subprime mortgage crisis will always pass, and after that, the financial industry will gradually recover. It's just that the investment target needs to be chosen carefully, otherwise, if the bank participating in the rescue eventually fails, then the invested capital will be lost.

If the above measures are to get official recognition, then the second measure is to reduce the public's negative view of his wealth by donating money.

Of course, it is not simply donating, but by setting up a trust fund to establish a charitable foundation controlled by Chen William.

As we all know, many rich people in America deal with their accumulated wealth in this way. Since everyone chooses this way to manage their wealth without exception, it can only be shown that there are many benefits to using this way.

The benefits of foundations are many, including being able to avoid most taxes, earning a good name, and most importantly, the fact that the control of the charitable foundation can remain in the hands of the descendants of the family, allowing them to enjoy the influence of this wealth, and Get a good salary, protect the life of future generations, and avoid high inheritance taxes.

It can be said that charitable foundations are a matter of fame and fortune for the rich family. But the same American government will also have some restrictions on charitable foundations. For example, although charitable foundations can be exempted from taxes and fees, it is stipulated that at least 5% of the total amount must be spent on charitable causes every year, and it has lasted for 20 years. After that, there are no mandatory rules.

And the accounts of charitable foundations must be transparent, and all expenditures and investments must be disclosed to the public, so the concealment is not strong.

Of course, don't look at the tax exemption, just donate 5% every year, and you feel that the country is at a disadvantage. In fact, from the perspective of the country, if you want to donate 5% annually for at least 20 consecutive years, then the total donation amount, if the fund has been profitable, will far exceed the amount when the fund was initially established; If you donate money to maintain it, then the donation will also exceed the inheritance tax that needs to be paid, so the state does not suffer in terms of the amount used for charity.

But even this is a very good way, because the law is very general about the so-called charitable use. Many foundations will do things in the name of charity that are beneficial to the development of other family industries.

For example, if your family invests in the pharmaceutical industry, then you can use the foundation to fund related "non-profit" media in the name of serving the public. In exchange, the other party will definitely speak well for your related products, go to Hack your competitors.

This kind of funding is actually equivalent to public relations expenses, but it is still for charitable purposes on the surface, but it actually guides public opinion and makes the companies it invests in profit. For example, the Gates Foundation often does this. The state has funded many similar popular science media for the purpose of...

For example, if William Chen sets up a charitable foundation, he can give living allowances to the poor in a certain state, and this state happens to be just about to be promoted by zoomapp, and then the subsidies are free zoom vouchers without any use. threshold.

Yes, these funds are indeed used for charitable purposes to improve the lives of poor families, but at the same time, such charitable acts have also helped zoomapp to gain more users Also, he can ask No. Children in three world countries donated comic books and toys - comic books from Marvel and toys for Marvel superheroes.

In this way, these children will subtly become fans of the Marvel Universe, contributing to the box office of their future movies and money to the surrounding area.

This is still the role of the foundation in normal business promotion, not to mention those more dirty political exchanges, anyway, William Chen will try not to get involved in it.

"So you mean you want to establish a charitable foundation?"

Uncle Tom still supports William Chen's ideas very much, because he also understands that by using these methods, the wealth he obtained during the subprime mortgage crisis this time will not cause him to be criticized too much.

And almost all rich families do this, and he is no stranger to the methods.

You must know that as William Chen's mother, a famous lady from the Drey family, and a good friend from childhood to adulthood, Uncle Tom's family background is also relatively prominent, but he himself does not have too many business affairs. When helping Chen William before, most things were handled by his subordinates.

"Yes, Uncle Tom, you are the person I trust most, so I want you to help me manage this foundation."

After Uncle Tom agreed, William Chen started to set up this trust family charitable fund.

The name of the foundation, named after William Chen's mother, is called Caitlin Chen Charitable Foundation, or Caitlin Foundation for short.
