Chapter 208 "Fatal Woman"

For Netflix’s parent company, a new round of reshuffle has begun.

With the recent sharp rise in stock prices, and strong institutions offering good prices, several major shareholders who are not optimistic about the company's prospects have already transferred out their shares.

Four names including Goldman Sachs, Blackstone Group, Texas Pacific Group and Waterfall Investment were quietly added to the list of the top ten shareholders of the parent company.

It is the stage when the concept of Internet TV is booming.

Being able to stand out and grab enough bargaining chips is enough to show that these companies are strong.

Netflix Entertainment does not have any plans for external financing. If you want to invest in it in advance, it is the simplest and most direct way to invest in the parent company of Netflix.

U.S. stocks do not have a T+1 limit and a 10% daily price limit.

During the trading days between the holidays, the stock price of Netflix’s parent company rose by a total of 54%, which is equivalent to a sudden increase of [-] million US dollars in market value.

It is precisely because of this that Su Rui feels that at present, it is more reasonable to set a valuation of US$30 billion for Netflix Entertainment.

At the beginning of October, a total of only 2 million US dollars was invested, and in just two or three months, a book wealth worth 5000 billion US dollars was exchanged, which is considered a big profit by anyone.

The Internet's myth of creating wealth is so unreasonable.

It is worth mentioning that.

The newly added "Waterfall Investment Company" in the list of major shareholders is actually behind the family office of the world's richest man Bill Gates.

A few years ago, Gates began to learn from other people's financial management, constantly selling Microsoft stocks, and cashing out cash into his family office.

In the name of charity, most of the assets were transferred to the couple's charitable trust fund, which saved countless taxes and fees, and took the opportunity to gain a good reputation and gain both fame and fortune.

The investment manager who helped him manage his finances was also a talent. Speaking of which, he had made a lot of money, and Waterfall Investment Company seemed to be doing pretty well.

Actually.

If you don't sell Microsoft's stock and just lie down and don't cash out your financial management, Gates' total worth will be another $2000 billion.

As required by U.S. law.

As long as the annual donation amount of a charitable foundation exceeds 5% of the total capital of the charitable foundation, the remaining 95% can be used for investment and enjoy tax relief.

It means that charitable funds in the United States only need a fixed expenditure of 5% per year, and can use the remaining money to earn more investment income.

This loophole is open and aboveboard. It is considered a restricted area in the United States. No one dares to touch and modify it even though they know there is a problem. This rule can be used to bypass the inheritance tax restrictions.

At least Su Rui has lived in the United States for so many years, and he has never heard of any rich man around him who has paid the inheritance tax in full. The knife and ax have been cut on the middle class and the high-yield, which has no effect on the real rich.

When they are really in a hurry, they can still immigrate to other countries and find ways to hide and transfer assets.

Therefore, knowing that inheritance tax can adjust the gap between rich and poor, many countries and regions are canceling inheritance tax one after another.

Compared with the little money collected, the consequences of the rich running away collectively are obviously more serious.

I mention this because Daddario told Suri an interesting thing.

While shopping for clothes after dinner, she said:
"You know, my father is a prosecutor in New York, and his department has handled several strange cases this year. Some people have frozen their dead family members into ice cubes, and some old people are dying, but they are forced to continue their lives by machines. I thought it involved organ trading or homicide, but I didn't expect it was all about inheritance."

Su Rui put his arms around her shoulders and asked with interest, "Why?"

"The current inheritance tax regulations will expire next year. It says that if no results are discussed in 2009, the new bill will be implemented from 2011, which means that 2010 is likely to become a window period for inheritance tax. For rich people who die in this year, the heirs do not need to pay any inheritance tax.”

Daddario then said:

"If you receive the inheritance now, you will have to pay a maximum of 45% of the inheritance tax, but if you delay changing the time of death, you may not have to pay a penny. My father said that this is simply giving a lot of people a reason to murder. If you wait until 2011 If you die, you may need to pay 55% of the estate tax, and in order to get more money, many people will take risks and commit crimes.”

Su Rui had a little impression of this incident, and after listening to it, he suddenly realized, and joked:

"Since I was a child, I felt that I could make a fortune, so I registered the investment company in an overseas tax haven from the beginning, which can avoid a lot of trouble. At least my parents don't have to worry, I will attack them."

"It's a very good theme, suitable for adapting into a suspenseful movie or TV series. Your father should know a lot of interesting cases. Maybe you can hire him as a consultant to provide some material for the screenwriter under me..."

After hearing this, Daddario shook his head decisively and said:

"Forget it, the profession of a prosecutor is prone to occupational diseases. No matter who you look at, you look like a criminal. It is definitely not a good idea to let him participate in our relationship. My parents have a good impression of you now, and distance can produce beauty. "

Of course Su Rui knew what she was referring to, so she couldn't refute it.

Before Yuko Hoshino went to New York, they had a crazy night, and they might be able to maintain a tacit understanding with each other, but it was too difficult for their parents to understand.

Too much contact with Daddario's father before he was sure he was really settled down would do more harm than good.

Thinking of the wide audience of suspense detective TV series, Su Rui temporarily remembered a TV series played by Daddario called "Fatal Woman".

This drama is relatively niche, and it is quite interesting to introduce three stories from different eras, all of which take place in the same villa.

In this drama, Daddario played the role of the green tea watch who is the mistress, which is very impressive.

It just so happens that "The Walking Dead" performed very well, attracting a large amount of traffic for Netflix Entertainment. As long as the current popularity can be maintained, one or two more self-produced dramas can be released next year.

The cost of shooting "Fatal Woman" is far less than that of some big productions, which is just suitable for the current situation of Netflix Entertainment, enriching the types of self-produced dramas and avoiding being limited to certain themes.

Just do it.

While D'Addario was shopping for clothes, Su Rui sent a text message to the person in charge of the Netflix film and television studio, asking him to find several experienced crime suspense screenwriters as soon as possible after he started work, and send them to Lanai Island Quit writing scripts.

Many film and television drama companies like to write and shoot while writing, but he has confidence in his project, and preparing the script in advance will make it easier to grasp the plot of the whole drama and improve the quality.

As such.

In addition to "The Walking Dead", there are four new dramas waiting to be filmed next year. The company's financial reserves are temporarily sufficient, and what is lacking is a talent team.

After so many years of development in Hollywood, three-legged toads are hard to find, and crew members are everywhere, so there is no need to worry too much...
