Hardy Empire 1945

,

Hardy asked Andy to help him calculate his assets, and Andy smiled, Boss, you don't need to calculate at all. I have your tax return form from last year, and your assets are clear at a glance.

Hardy took the thick receipt and looked at it.

hd security company, with a profit of 1.68 million, an expense of 3.25 million, a loss state, and a tax return of 21,000 US dollars.

I have to pay taxes for losses? Hardy pointed to the list.

Federal corporate income tax, California corporate income tax, local tax, there are more than a dozen of them, and this is already the least within the legal scope. Andy spread his hands.

Ok.

Andy is an expert in this area, and Hardy trusts his ability to avoid taxes.

The hd film company, with an income of 3.12 million US dollars and an expenditure of 5.82 million US dollars, is still in a state of loss, and has filed tax xxx.

hd brokerage company, hd music company, shares of Andy Financial Accounting Firm, Walsh Mining, Rocky Mountain Mineral Water, shares of MEBO TV Factory, auction company, shares of Estee Lauder, hd airlines.

All of the above lost money, and many had large loans.

I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. I seem to have a big family and a big business, but I am actually heavily in debt.

But there is also good news.

The Barbie toy factory is very profitable, and now it can earn Hardy $100,000 a month, and the most profitable is Playboy magazine, which can earn about 400,000 a month.

However, these profits are not distributed, and they are all placed in the company's account. If Hardy divides the money, he will have to pay a personal income tax, and the personal income tax in the United States is very high. If Hardy takes out all the profits, he will pay taxes. The tax rate can reach the highest level of 39.6%.

If it is 4 million, then you have to pay 1.6 million.

The IRS is fucking stupid.

Hardy took a look at his legal income this year, 12,652.56 US dollars, that's right, more than 10,000, just stuck in the lowest bracket of personal income tax.

Pretty.

That's called professionalism.

My income and expenses are all legal,

The IRS can't find my troubles right? ' asked Hardy.

He knew that Al Capone was worth hundreds of millions of dollars, murdered and sold bootleg alcohol, but ended up falling on the IRS. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison because the casino failed to file taxes for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In the United States, drug trafficking is a non-violent crime, not too serious a crime, and theft is even more trivial, but tax evasion is a very serious felony.

Only death and tax payment are eternal in this world.

Hardy didn't want people from the IRS to make trouble for him, so he had to pay the taxes that should be paid. However, there are always two sides in this world. If there is a tax bureau, there are financial accountants. Financial accountants are specially used to deal with the tax bureau.

Andy smiled.

Boss, don't worry, Andy Financial Accounting Firm now has 15 professional financial personnel, 16 accountants, and 3 financial lawyers. Among them, two accountants are professional accountants who have retired from IRS. It will not be bad if they check and accept One cent.

That's good. Hardy smiled.

As for the gang, it has nothing to do with Hardy. There is no evidence to implicate Hardy from the Los Angeles company. As long as the legitimate business is guaranteed, Hardy is the most innocent person in the world.

Judging from Hardy's current balance sheet, he is actually personally in debt, and the debt is several million.

I want to buy ABC Broadcasting Company, how much money do you think you can get? Hardy asked again.

It's actually not difficult for the boss to raise money. Not to mention other assets, Playboy magazine is currently valued at more than 50 million U.S. dollars. If you use Playboy magazine as collateral, many banks are willing to give you a loan of more than 20 million U.S. dollars. Andy said.

If you count all the assets, a loan of 40 million will be no problem. We have a cooperative relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, and it is very convenient to find them for a loan.

Hearing what Andy said, Hardy has a bottom line in his heart, and now he is waiting for the news of Henry's investigation.

Henry came back two days later.

Hardy specially called Andy to listen together, after all, the next acquisition task must be Andy's work.

Henry handed Hardy a thick document.

Introduced:

This Edward Noble is the owner of a candy company. He is 50 years old this year. The candy company is headquartered in Springfield, the capital of Illinois. Noble has operated the candy company for more than 20 years, mainly producing fruit candy, milk candy, and coffee recipes. Sugar, with a net worth of two or three million, Noble's real fortune was due to the outbreak of World War II.

After the outbreak of World War II, the military's procurement of materials surged, and new suppliers were needed. Noble was selected by the military as one of the sugar suppliers. Since then, it has exploded. His candy company's sales reached 6 million that year.

In the next few years, Noble has been a supplier, earning a lot of money, and has money in his hands. Noble didn't know how to invest. When he heard the news that the blue net was going to be sold, he thought it was an opportunity, so he took it out. With all the money, he borrowed another sum of money, and finally bought Lanwang at a price of 8 million. At that time, many people praised him for his boldness.

However, after he bought the blue network, he found that he was cheated by the National Broadcasting Corporation. The other party took away almost all the staff, leaving him only a bunch of equipment and a networking agreement.

He didn't run a broadcasting company himself, and he didn't know anything about running a TV station, so he hired someone to manage it. The current manager is called Liman, and he used to run a local TV station before.

Riman gave Edward Noble a lot of advice at the beginning, and arranged for the production of new programs at each time slot. As you know, supporting a TV station's programs requires a large production team. CBS and NBC are two broadcasting companies. There are only four to five hundred employees.

Moreover, the production of programs also requires a lot of investment. You need to have a studio, shoot TV dramas, record various programs, purchase copyrights from other companies, etc. Liman's report to Edward Noble requires an investment of about 5 million.

After all, he has no background and needs to build from scratch.

The TV station's income mainly comes from advertisements. If there are no good programs and no audiences, no one will spend money to advertise on your TV station. You must beat other TV stations and occupy a certain audience share in the market. , requires continuous investment.”

Edward Noble felt that the TV station was a quagmire. He felt that if he followed the path pointed out by Liman, his own candy company might be implicated. He immediately chose to give up and let Liman recruit more than 20 people. As long as the TV station exists, the daily program is to read newspapers on the radio, and then chat with two people, talk about current affairs reviews, gossip and other programs, in short, how to save money.

In this way, if there is no program, there will be no ratings, if there is no ratings, there will be no advertisements, and without advertisements, there will be no money. Edward Noble has to pay a sum of money for personnel salaries and equipment maintenance every year.

Is no one wants to buy abc? Hardy asked.

Of course there are people who want to acquire it. According to my inquiries, there are quite a few companies that want to acquire abc. However, Edward Noble's price is not low. Some people just give up, and some have been negotiating with Edward Noble.

Two of them are more persistent and haven't given up yet. One is called Pegasus Rubber Tire Company. This company was also one of the tire suppliers to the military during the war and made a lot of money. The other is Paramount, which is famous in Hollywood. film industry.

Hardy said in his heart that Paramount is involved, and it seems that these people are also very discerning.

A year ago, Pegasus Rubber Tire Company proposed to acquire it. Edward Noble offered 20 million yuan, which directly took Pegasus Rubber Tire Company away. Half a year ago, the asking price for Paramount Pictures was 18 million yuan, and Paramount did not. agree.

Twenty million, eighteen million.

Depend on,

Really cruel.

Hardy had already guessed that the candy boss would increase the price, but he didn't expect him to increase so much.

Later, the two companies talked to Edward Noble again, and now Edward Noble's asking price is 15 million.

Oh, why did you lower the price again? Hardy was a little surprised.

After World War II, the military laid off a large number of employees, so naturally there is no need for so many suppliers. The candy company originally made several million a year, but now that there is no military supply, the annual profit has dropped to hundreds of thousands in an instant.

Edward Noble's candy company has already started laying off employees. The goods cannot be sold, and they dare not produce so much, so they can only reduce production.

When he was making money, it didn't matter if he had a blue net, but now his annual income has dropped by 10 times, and abc has become a big burden for him, so he is eager to get rid of this burden.

Now Hardy fully understood.

15 million, this price is not low, is it really like what I said to sell iron?

Hardy carefully read the information in his hand again, and then handed it to Andy, Andy, I will leave the acquisition to you.

Boss, are you sure you want to buy it? It's not easy to run a broadcasting company well? Andy persuaded.

Broadcasting companies invest heavily, but the results are slow.

Unlike movies, he can charge tickets and broadcast programs for free, and can only be supported by advertising revenue.

If you want others to advertise on your radio station, you must have high ratings, high ratings require good programs, good programs require large investment, and large investment requires a lot of money.

You have to develop before no one advertises. It is estimated that ordinary people really cannot support this initial investment.

Hardy naturally understood the truth of this.

But he is not interested in abc's ability to make money.

money,

He can make money in other ways, and he believes that with his ability and knowledge of the future, making money is not difficult.

But if you own a TV station that covers the entire United States, you will have a certain right to speak in public opinion, and your status will rise rapidly.

The right to speak of public opinion is an extremely sharp knife.

Seeing that a certain company is unhappy, send someone to investigate him, find out his problems and expose him, maybe a single exposure can sink that company.

Seeing that a certain congressman is unhappy, send someone to investigate him. If he is corrupt, accepts bribes and messes with men and women, expose him, make him bad all at once, and directly ask him to apologize and resign.

If the president is unhappy and scolds him every day, doesn’t the United States emphasize freedom of speech, as long as we don’t break the law, we can say that such a media company may give the president a headache.

Andy, talk to the owner of the candy company and try to lower the price, but my decision is to buy it!

Hardy said firmly.
