He suddenly became serious, "First, I don't understand what you Desheng said. There is a Chinese idiom called Kuze Eryu. You should know what it means."

"So, I can't let you scrape the ground."

"However, it is better to be blocked than to be blocked! I personally, and China, have no substantive conflicts with Desheng."

"Then, we can try to solve the problem in our own way."

Manager Wen nodded, obviously knowing that Qi Lei was indeed telling the truth, so he continued.

"The purpose of Desheng is to make profits, while our purpose is to develop. There is no contradiction between the two, and a symbiotic point can be found."

"Not only earning money, but also solving problems, and gaining a good reputation, is it much better than the chicken feathers all over the place?"

Manager Wen, "..."

After pondering for a long time, he reluctantly accepted Qi Lei's statement, "What else?"

He knew that it couldn't be just this one reason.

Qi Lei, "Second, it's just as you think."

Qi Lei guessed Manager Wen's thoughts thoroughly, "You are afraid that after the Caribbean crew leaves, no one will come."

Manager Wen raised his eyebrows, "This is the key! If the film and television base does not have a crew, it will also affect tourism if it becomes depressed, and eventually lead to the failure of the entire project."

Qi Lei, "So!"

"So what?"

"So I'm looking for you!"

Manager Wen, "????"

Qi Lei smiled, "You, Desheng, must have a way to make the film and television base operate normally, right?"

Manager Wen: "..."

Crack! !This grandson is really good at scheming, and he put his mind on Desheng.

But, don't tell me, it's indeed an idea, otherwise why would people look for you?

Bowing his head and pondering, he was wondering if it was feasible.

After a long time, I came to the conclusion, "It's hard!"

Looking at Qi Lei with a sad face, "Shitou, we are businessmen and we have no absolute enemies, so it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you. But it's really difficult."

"The Caribbean is a special situation. They just need such a shooting condition, so they want to shoot here."

"But other crews don't necessarily have to come to the east, there is no need for that."

"Not all crews can bear so many obstacles in order to save costs."

Hainan, China... There are indeed too many inconveniences.

But he didn't want to, Qi Lei was still relentless, with a playful smile, "Think of a way, there will always be a way."

Manager Wen curled his lips, "What do you think? You can't let Desheng go from one film company to another to beg someone to come, can you?"

Seriously: "In Hollywood, there are not a few celebrities and businessmen who oppose China."

Qi Lei heard, "I think there is a way!"

Manager Wen is in a hurry, I really think you are a wise man, what about Zhuge Liang?

Staring at the eyeballs, "What do you think? You have to find a way, I will listen to you, and I will obey you, okay?"

Manager Wen is a bit of a boss, when did he serve Qi Lei?

As a result, "Really?"

Manager Wen, "Really!!"

Qi Lei, "I have a solution, you listen to me?"

Manager Wen, "I call you brother!"

When Qi Lei heard this, he acted like you were finished, so he made a fool of himself and poured himself a glass of water first.

After taking a few sips, he held the water glass and said slowly, like a veteran cadre, "Now...the one who is busy fighting terrorism belongs to the Democratic Party, right?"

Manager Wen hesitated, and answered instinctively, "Is there anything unusual about this?"

The chief executive in the United States is indeed from the Democratic Party.

Qi Lei continued: "But the people in Hollywood, most of them are the H Party!"

Manager Wen raised a question mark on his forehead, does it matter?

Although they belong to different camps, what does it have to do with your film and television base?

"Ugh!!!"

Qi Lei let out a perverse sigh, "Tell me, how nice would it be if we went back to before the Reagan era?"

Pfft, Manager Wen looked at Qi Lei like a monster with a mouthful of old blood.

Rea...before the Reagan era...?

His eyes were out of focus, his eyes changed, and he stood there for 2 minutes.

Suddenly he jumped up and pointed at Qi Lei: "Sun thief!! You are not human!"

Qi Lei laughed, "Just say, are you convinced?"

"Me!!" Manager Wen's bones were itchy, and he wanted to beat him up.

However, in the end, he said awkwardly, "I accept! Is it alright?"

He can figure it out?What kind of brains? ? ? ?Is it too bad?

Manager Wen wanted to cry, anyway, he would never have thought of such a wicked move.

So here comes the question, why did the Pittmans go crazy when it was mentioned before the Reagan era?What the hell is this idea?

Well, it's a sad story...

Hollywood stars have experienced a period of extremely dark times, and they are the most exploited group in the United States.

Don't get me wrong, it's not an unspoken rule, but an income tax.

The income tax of Hollywood stars used to be as high as 95%!The minimum starting price also has to be 50%.

In other words, some celebrities have to spend 9500 to pay taxes for every 500 US dollars they earn, and they can only get [-]. The landlord Yang Bailao has never had such a miserable experience.

For example, the Academy Award-winning actress Kesude Colbert, her salary for one movie was 15 US dollars. If she made three movies a year, she would get... [-] US dollars!

The tax rate is 93%.

If she is not good at math, she can take a few more films... Then the income will increase, and the tax rate will also increase. It is better to earn more from filming three films.

If you can't get [-], it's tantamount to playing for nothing.

Also, don't even think about tax evasion.

As we all know, the tax department of the United States is no joke. They have their own armed organizations, which are more animals than CIA and FBI.

Who dares to evade taxes?

As a result, a group of Hollywood stars were tortured crazy by the US tax law.

It was not until Reagan became the chief executive of the United States that the tax law was amended and the tax rate of Hollywood stars was reduced.

Why was Reagan so benevolent?Hehe, he is not kind, but empathetic.

He was born as a Hollywood actor, and he was once tortured by high tax rates.

Reagan's tax rate when he was an actor in Hollywood was... 91%.

What does Qi Lei mean if he can go back to before the Reagan era?It is to increase the tax rate of Hollywood stars.

So what does it have to do with building a film and television base in Hainan?

Because there is a high tax rate, there are means of tax avoidance!

Thanks to the high tax rates of that era, Hollywood stars have a glorious tradition of tax avoidance methods, which can be described as varied.

Including personal consumption and expensive luxury consumption in commercial packaging, thereby exempting tax is a child's play.

Among them are several most effective and well-known tax avoidance methods.

For example, not filming locally.

According to the U.S. tax law, working outside the U.S. for a certain period of time is exempt from taxation.

So during that period, a large number of Hollywood films chose to shoot overseas, and the classic film "Roman Holiday" was born from this.

Another example is the establishment of a leather bag company overseas.

Many Hollywood stars choose to set up leather bag companies in Europe or some tax haven island countries, and then put [-]% of their film remuneration in the name of the company's name as the cost of co-shooting, so as to evade the US tax law.

It is conceivable that once the star income tax is raised, the wave of overseas filming will definitely be staged that year.

That film and television base...

Manager Wen looked at Qi Lei a little dumbfounded, how did you come up with it?

Damage or not?Let those Hollywood stars know that this is your idea, and they have the heart to kill you.

But then again, is it doable?

It's really doable!

Where to start, Qi Lei has already thought of it for you.

Now the chief anti-terrorist is the Democratic Party, and most of the Hollywood stars are communists. This is not just a partisan confrontation.

Due to the unique charisma of celebrities, before the chief executive came to power, he was often tripped up by these damned celebrities and hated them to death.

And Desheng does have the ability to lobby some congressmen and related people, even the chief executive, and then influence legislation.

The ability of the top five investment banks on Wall Street is beyond doubt.

Manager Wen was lost in thought, is this going to work?

"No, I'm just a small regional manager. I can't control such a big matter. The higher-ups won't listen to me!"

Qi Lei spread his hands, "Then leave it to the higher authorities to decide!"

Remind Manager Wen, "Desheng is successful in any industry, but Hollywood, you have never been able to impress those Jews."

"Maybe your superiors will think this is an opportunity to break through?"

Manager Wen: "..."

Thinking again, "But the six major Hollywood film companies, those Jews will not let us succeed? Their energy is not small."

Qi Lei pursed his lips, "Isn't this easier? My principle has always been the same. Rather than having one more enemy, it is better to have a few more allies."

"Just lure them into the team." Gao Shen smiled, "Brother Wen, you have to know, cost saving, and taking the opportunity to make money, no film company will refuse."

"Besides..."

"And what?"

"Besides, I think these film companies have already had enough of those trade unions, right? Besides, Hainan is a special zone in China, with good preferential policies, and there must be no restraint from trade unions here."

Manager Wen, "..."

After being told by Qi Lei, he was even more tempted.

Because what he said is right, trade unions are simply a cancer in the United States.

In the end, Manager Wen compromised and said, "Shitou, I still can't decide this matter. I need to discuss it with the headquarters."

Qi Lei curled his lips, "Then you have to hurry up, Kodiyaz and Haimer are also there, maybe Disney is our first ally."

Manager Wen: "..."

I'll contact the headquarters tonight, okay! ?

Not now, it's midnight in America.
