"In addition, Morgan Stanley's shareholders' meeting stipulates that all shareholders must hold positions within the group"
"Every shareholder must abide by this regulation, and when signing a share transfer contract, they will sign a labor contract together"
Hearing this regulation, Yi Xiaohai was immediately speechless.
He can understand the intention of Damo's regulations, but he cannot accept them.
The purpose of joining the board of directors of Morgan Stanley is to facilitate the development of one's own career, not to work for Morgan Stanley.
Yi Xiaohai doesn¡¯t have a specific position in his company. Let him work at Morgan Stanley unless he is crazy.
"Is this rule mandatory?"
"Yes¡¡"
Liu Yangfan¡¯s words broke Yi Xiaohai¡¯s heart: ¡°Then do they have any requirements for the position?¡±
"The other party said that you can choose any position, even if you sweep the floor, no one will care about it, but there must be a position"
Liu Yangfan saw Yi Xiaohai¡¯s inner resistance and said a few more words.
"Mr. Yi, Morgan Stanley is a financial services company. In many cases, it only needs to maintain relationships with customers, not necessarily sitting in the office"
¡°Their purpose of appointing shareholders is also based on the interests of the group. Even if you don¡¯t show up for a few years, as long as you bring large profits to Morgan Stanley, they will find a position suitable for you¡±
Liu Yangfan¡¯s words really reminded Yi Xiaohai.
After all, Damo is a company, and it only wants to make money. Otherwise, Yi Xiaohai would not be allowed to be their director.
As long as Yi Xiaohai is useful to the group, they will definitely find a way to help Yi Xiaohai get his job done.
"Lawyer Liu really reminded me that I will discuss this matter in detail after meeting with Stephen"
"Okay, now there is one last question, about taxation Because you are a Chinese national, but taxation is based on the principle of personal and territorial principle, so you need to pay taxes in the United States"
"How much tax do you have to pay?"
"The personal tax on equity transfer in the United States is 20% of the premium"
"The evil capitalism!"
Yi Xiaohai felt heartbroken.
A 20% premium is almost tens of millions of dollars, which is a lot of money.
Fang Miao smiled and reminded Yi Xiaohai: "Xiaohai, I heard that you bought a private jet from the United States?"
"yes¡¡"
"Some consumption in the United States can be deducted from tax returns, including private jets. The money you spend on buying a jet should be able to offset your taxes"
"Don't remind me like this, I remembered it"
Hearing that he didn¡¯t have to pay taxes, Yi Xiaohai felt much better.
"I once read an article saying that Americans like to consume but don't like to save. One of the reasons is that consumption can be deducted from taxes. I thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that it is really true?"
Liu Yangfan smiled: "There is indeed a reason why Americans like to consume. Their country has very heavy taxes, and even deposit interest must be taxed. However, they also have many tax reduction policies, so many people like to consume to offset taxes "
Yi Xiaohai expressed curiosity: ¡°What tax reduction policies are there?¡±
¡°There are many, including training fees for improving job skills, medical expenses for contact lenses, ordinary glasses, dentures, and hearing aids, as well as clothing and computers donated for charitable purposes, which are tax deductible according to the market value, including a lot of¡¡"
Yi Xiaohai was very surprised to hear this. No wonder lawyers in the United States are so important. Even some midfield families have their own dedicated lawyers.
If they don¡¯t hire a lawyer, they probably won¡¯t even know what tax deductions they can get
But Yi Xiaohai also saw from this point that Americans have the advantage of seeing the big from the small.
They use tax credits to encourage education, protect medical care, and support charity. These are all worth learning in China
¡¡¡¡
Although the contract contains a lot of content, with Liu Yangfan here, they are very efficient.
After finishing all the important content and confirming it with Yi Xiaohai, Liu Yangfan contacted Morgan Stanley¡¯s legal staff to finalize the final version of the contract.
Have lunch at the hotel restaurant.
Liu Yangfan is an authentic Jinling native. Yi Xiaohai specially asked Guan Yun to make more Jinling dishes in the kitchen and make them home-cooked.
When the kitchen heard the order from the big boss, it can be said that it used all kinds of martial arts.
Beauty liver, squirrel fish, anchovies?, Egg Shaomai, one of the four famous dishes of Beijing and Jiangsu, as well as Jinling¡¯s signature salted duck and pot stickers.
In order to give Liu Yangfan a homely taste, the kitchen also specially prepared two home-cooked dishes: small fish stewed in an iron pot and chrysanthemum brain and egg drop soup.
Liu Yangfan was filled with emotion when he saw the familiar dishes on the table.
He has lived abroad for a long time and has not returned to China for many years. He has not eaten authentic Jinling cuisine for a long time.
He took a bite of every dish, and his face showed satisfaction: "My parents often cook, but they always lack the flavor of home"
¡°The ingredients in foreign countries are quite different from those in China, and some ingredients are not available, so the taste will be a bit worse"
Yi Xiaohai once had such an experience.
He traveled to the United States and found a Chinese restaurant, and the food he ate was completely different from those in China.
In the United States, there are no Sichuan peppercorns or aniseed, and even vinegar is hard to find.
You can imagine how troublesome it is to cook a Chinese meal in the United States.
¡°Don¡¯t talk about the ingredients, there¡¯s just no place to buy many of them. Just for this pot of small fish, I can¡¯t even buy the fish, let alone cook it¡±
Fang Miao has never been to the United States, but he has a relatively good understanding of the laws of the United States, but he does not understand the eating habits at all.
"The United States is so developed that you can't even buy a pot of fish?"
Liu Yangfan smiled helplessly: "Americans don't eat freshwater fish, so no one sells these fish"
"What's wrong with freshwater fish? They taste much better than sea fish. Why don't they eat them?"
"There are many reasons. Firstly, the knives and forks they use for meals are very troublesome to pick out the fish bones when eating freshwater fish. Moreover, they believe that freshwater fish are carriers of parasitic toxic substances and are not as clean as sea fish"
Fang Miao found it strange: "We have been eating for so many years, but we are still not living well. These Americans are just hypocritical"
"Don't tell me, I've really eaten people to death"
Yi Xiaohai put down his chopsticks and explained to Fang Miao: "When the American industry was rising, it neglected environmental protection, causing serious pollution of river water and soil. Some people were poisoned after eating freshwater fish, so they stopped eating river fish"
"Is it true that once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years?"
"That's pretty much what it means"
Liu Yangfan has a good appetite, and is especially interested in the hotel¡¯s signature salted duck: ¡°Xiao Miao, do you still remember the salted duck made by my grandfather?¡±
"Of course I remember. At that time, I liked to follow you, just to have a taste of Grandpa Liu's duck. It tasted very good"
"Do you still remember the formula for making a duck?"
"Of course you remember, rub it with hot salt, clear the brine, blow dry, and roast it thoroughly. The skin will be white and the meat will be tender and fragrant"
