Start with hooves

Just a few days have passed since my trip to Italy.

As soon as she finished her activities, Barbara couldn't wait to board the passenger plane and came to Lanai to find Suri.

For a popular actress like her, and still appearing next to the more eye-catching Suri, it was difficult not to attract the attention of others, so she had to keep a low profile, stay at home and avoid going out as much as possible.

Even when visiting places, I always take secretary Amanda with me to avoid people thinking about "dating".

Horse riding, off-roading, bear feeding, and fishing on the island, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Secretary Amanda, who had been acting as a light bulb, suddenly found Suri and reported:
  "Boss, we seem to have run into some trouble. The application for tax reduction for the development of electric vehicles was almost approved, but was eventually rejected. According to the information obtained from Governor Schwarzenegger, it seems that a congressman forced Intervene and want you to place a super factory producing electric vehicles in California and promise to provide at least 1000 jobs, so that you can agree to enact a new tax cut bill."

It is undoubtedly a waste to invest real money during the research and development period but not be able to enjoy the lower tax exemption policy.

Amazon, which has been engaged in online e-commerce business in the past few years, has actually been able to turn losses into profits. However, it has chosen to continue to burn money on promotion and keep its net profit in the red for a long time. The purpose is to extract wool and reduce tax inconveniences. Necessary expenses.

Many other American multinational companies also try their best to transfer profits to low-tax jurisdictions overseas and keep product development costs in the United States to reduce tax burdens.

In the nascent field of new energy vehicles, there are still many legal gaps that prevent S Electric Vehicle Company from enjoying many benefits.

It was precisely for this reason that Suri asked a legal consultant to take action a few months ago to resolve this loophole that was very detrimental to him.

In the long run, whether this new bill can be successfully introduced is likely to involve hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in gains and losses, which is relatively important.

After listening to what Secretary Amanda said.

Su Rui was a little depressed and asked, "Do you really just want us to set up a factory, or do you want something else?"

If it is just setting up a factory, it means that the troublesome congressman may have some ambitions in terms of job prospects. He plans to improve his "performance" by increasing employment, thereby gaining the favor of voters and increasing his influence. He may also be thinking about the past. One step forward.

Many congressmen like to do this, valuing the chips in their hands in exchange for any benefits that can help them.

This is nothing and can be easily resolved through negotiation.

But if you have other desires, such as serving as a pawn for certain capital, seeking equity in S Electric Vehicle Company, or deliberately helping other traditional car manufacturers to suppress Suri's new energy vehicle project, this will be a bit troublesome.

Secretary Amanda understood what Suri meant, nodded and told:

"As far as I know, that senator is very ambitious. Several arms giants have provided him with activity funds. He may want to transfer to Washington to work in the future, probably to take advantage of the limelight."

Suri was not willing to waste his brains and just replied:

"I arranged for someone to talk to him and said that I could sign a contract for a factory first, but when it will be put into use depends on our company's pace, it may take three to five years before it can be put into production. If the other party doesn't agree, then it probably means that we still have to pay for it. I have other thoughts, maybe the news about the road test with Mark Zuckerberg a few days ago aroused the interest of some big shots."

After working beside Suri for so many years, Secretary Amanda certainly knows that he has always been a bit cautious when it comes to issues involving higher-ups.

In recent years, the only thing that has offended people is Hollywood. The situation in Hollywood is a bit special. There is actually a lot of overlap between the many forces that support Netflix Entertainment and the forces that support traditional film and television and media giants, and they basically come from Wall Street.

Not to mention that the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, Suri can also help other shareholders earn more.

Therefore, no matter how much market Suri seizes, it will still not affect the interests of some people. Due to the introduction of the Internet concept into Hollywood, the market value of many film and television and media giants has increased a lot.

It's like making the cake bigger. Even if Suri gets an extra piece, everyone can still accept it. Naturally, there is no need to fight to the death.

After Secretary Amanda wrote down the key points, she reminded:
  "Actually, with your strength, you can definitely win over more allies, such as finding a real celebrity to marry, which will be very helpful to your business. If the bill has just been rejected, you can really agree to the congressman's conditions, it will be easy Let others mistakenly think that you are easy to bully. It is best to go through Washington for help. I believe that with your reputation, you can easily walk into that white house with just a simple appointment."

Su Rui asked in surprise:

"Hey, will this make others think I'm weak?"

"Forget it, I'm just too lazy to waste time and energy on such small things. If California doesn't promise to give me benefits, then I will move the R&D studio to other states. Anyway, California's artificial intelligence The cost is relatively expensive, and the taxes and fees are higher than other places, and Nevada next door is pretty good.”

"Also, help me arrange an electric vehicle research and development laboratory in Shanghai, China, and hire more international experts to help. After people make a plan, I want to personally review it..."

heard.

Secretary Amanda was obviously very satisfied and added: "You are like a member of the Ten Billion Dollar Club. Money always comes first in the United States. With your current status, you must not be easily manipulated by others."

Suri couldn't laugh or cry about this, looked at her and said:

"I really shouldn't have shown you the script of "House of Cards". I can even think of such a bad idea as finding someone to marry. Should I change my career path next and buy people's hearts to replace Schwarzenegger?" Are you using the governor's position as a springboard to attack Washington?"

"The script of "House of Cards" is really great. It made my heart surge after watching it. I always feel that you have wasted your precious talent. You should always push me and take me to Capitol Hill with you."

After Secretary Amanda finished speaking, she added: "Have you forgotten that it was because he married a good wife with a prominent family background that Governor Schwarzenegger successfully gained the support of some people and transformed from a tough guy superstar to a Californian The boss of the state?”

Suri rolled his eyes at her: "That refers to ordinary situations. For us super rich people, getting involved in that field is equivalent to putting ourselves in a cage. From then on, we face endless troubles and countless supervisions."

Secretary Amanda was convinced of this, nodded, and continued:

"That's right, you should play the role of a financial master, hiding behind and commanding those people remotely, sending out hundreds of millions of huge funds every year, and controlling an underground empire. This is the most suitable for your identity."

Suri laughed and cursed:
  "Don't cause trouble for me. I am very, very satisfied with my current life. Not everyone wants to be like Bloomberg, the founder of Bloomberg News, who leaves his family's luxury car alone and takes the subway every day. Just for show, since I started running New York City, I have suddenly aged a lot, and I am probably so angry that I have been scolded at home."

Secretary Amanda sighed and said with regret:

"That's right. Putting aside everything else, if someone attacks you with Yuko Hoshino and others, and digs out dirty information about you, Barbara, and Jessica, you won't even be able to refute it. Being a rich man doesn't matter. Even if you have a new girlfriend all day long, it will only make others envious of you..." (End of Chapter)
