Chapter 620 Aaliyah's Introduction (2) (Repair)
Everyone was very busy, and the old man and Anthony only stayed in the United States for one weekend and left in a hurry.
In two days, in addition to flying to San Francisco together on Saturday afternoon to attend the launch of the new iCam series of Tincobaier Company, the old man spent most of his time meeting with senior leaders of the Westeros system who flew from all over the United States to the West Coast, accompanied by Simon. Afterwards, he commented on many executives based on his own feelings.
March 28.
Another Monday.
After announcing cooperation with the New York Times Group last Monday and starting a war with the Hurst family, in the past week, and with the Egrit Company also engaged in cooperation negotiations with three other paper media groups in the United States, many media outlets who accused Simon of being too huge and living too luxurious have gradually stopped. After all, many people do not want to completely lose the possibility of cooperating with the Westeros system to share the big cake of the Internet industry like the Hurst Group.
The rebound of the Nasdaq technology sector in the past week has caused heavy capital losses for a number of bets on technology shorts.
In politics, it has been hyped up for nearly a month by seizing topics related to Simon, and the public attention that can be extracted has been squeezed out. Many candidates for lawmakers targeting the Westeros system will either temporarily stop or continue to push the White House or Congress to limit the Westeros system.
As a counterattack, the Westeros system's "sniper plan" was launched at the same time, and there were plans to maintain the political foundation of the Westeros system.
While Joseph Schrapp was planning the list of snipers, he also reached a preliminary intention with the Rifle Association to maintain the political basic foundation of the Westeros system. Both sides only wanted to exert their own influence on the political circle, and there was no irreconcilable conflict of interest between them. The Rifle Association was deeply rooted, and the Westeros system should not be provoked. Instead of tit-for-tat, it is better to cooperate in cooperation.
The drama slowly kicked off, but the game will not be settled until the results of the midterm elections are released at the end of the year.
Simon is very clear about what impact the outcome of this game will have on the future of the Westeros system.
After November 8, 1994, either voters will be the first to start money. Therefore, Simon spared no effort to invest in this plan, and approved a budget of 100 million US dollars in the first round, and will continue to add additional funds in the future. Even if the $300 million is burned, it will be spared.
Such a huge political campaign budget, of course, cannot be donated to certain candidates according to the relevant provisions of the Federal Campaign Act. However, no matter what form, as long as it can attack the political opponents of the Westeros system, the operating team will take decisive action.
On the other hand, after completely cutting off cooperation with the Hurst Group last week and asking partners to take sides, Simon was somewhat surprised that, except for publishing some verbal articles in the group newspaper, the Hurst family did not immediately launch a substantial counterattack for a week.
Just when Simon thought the Hurst family finally realized the situation and planned to seek reconciliation, early Monday morning, two major newspapers on the East and West Coasts under the Hurst Group suddenly exposed a series of heavyweight gossip about Simon.
The first revelation came from the Greenwich Times, a subsidiary of the Hearst Group on the East Coast. The article directly pointed to Simon's two lovers. The "waist" Yasmin Gary and "leg" Naga Allman, who held up in one hand, owned many multi-million-dollar properties in Manhattan. These expensive properties are not affordable by two supermodels, so they are from it.
The supermodel seems to be glorious, but its income is far less than the outside world imagines.
The 1993 supermodel income list of the 1993 supermodel income list, Cindy Crawford, who ranked first, had only $7 million in annual income. And this is pre-tax income. Excluding personal income tax, brokerage commission and other expenses, the supermodel may not even lose half of it.
As for the "waist and leg genitals" that have just risen in the past two years, the two women's income in Vanity Fair was tied for $2 million in 1993. Of course, this is just an inaccurate estimate, but it is almost the same.
The annual income of $2 million is only about half of the same expenses as taxes and other expenses.
Net income of $1 million seems to be a lot, but as a public celebrity, the expenses for maintenance, installation, travel, etc. are also expensive. What's more, women are always the most cost-effective creatures. In addition to basic expenses and other expenses, they will not lose much in the end.
Many supermodels who were once popular have gone bankrupt like some NBA stars. This is the main reason. Those who have a slightly better ending can find a rich husband to make a vase to decorate their storefronts. More of them are mediocre, just like ordinary people, working hard for life all day long, and even wandering on the streets.
Therefore, many well-known models, even if they own personal apartments, are basically at the highest income class of one million dollars, and the most top luxury houses worth millions of dollars can afford to pay.
The "waist and "legs" that have been rising for a short time are obviously not listed here.
If it were just like this, this gossip would only be like many gossips about Simon, and everyone would be lively, and then nothing else.
After all, even though he has been married over the years, all kinds of scandals about Simon Westeros in gossip tabloids have never been cut off, and Simon never thought of packaging himself into a perfect man in public.
However, while revealing this gossip, the Greenwich Times also publicly reported to the IRS that two supermodels were suspected of tax evasion.
In most Western countries, huge gifts also require tax payments.
The Greenwich Times revealed that the two supermodels had no gift tax returns related to their real estate in the past year. The article concluded that each of the two supermodels had escaped at least $2 million in gift taxes.
It was obvious that under the operation of the Hurst family, the IRS's reaction was rapid. Early in the morning when gossip was reported, the last stop of the fashion season in early March, two supermodels who were working in Manhattan were taken away from their respective apartments by IRS law enforcement officers. The relevant images were also directly logged into the local TV station's live news program.
Many media reporters who were sensible rushed to the IRS headquarters in New York.
In a blink of an eye, gossip shows signs of developing into scandals.
Simon did not plan to watch the fun for many people. She was woken up by the phone ringing at around five o'clock in the morning on the West Coast and quickly arranged the two women were taken away by IRS law enforcement officers and were released on bail by Westeros at the lawyers in less than an hour.
Isn't it just a tax reimbursement?
Make up!
No shortage of money.
The IRS is so domineering and cruel that the IRS is being promoted by newspapers and media. What gangsters can escape legal sanctions but cannot escape the IRS's clutches. In fact, for the people at the top of the federal pyramid, this is the case after all. Everyone should avoid taxes and evade taxes. Even if they are discovered, they often only make up for taxes. Except for a few who are aggravated due to business political game reasons other than taxation, it is rare to hear that any rich man was sent to prison for tax evasion.
In the final analysis, the IRS is just "seeking money". If you are caught, you will pay as much as you should and fine it as much as you should. I will definitely pay you more in the future, but if you have to send you to prison, the IRS does not have the law enforcement intention of hanging high with a clear mirror.
After all, rich people won't sit still and wait for death
Once things start to get into a fight, spending tens of millions of dollars on investigating lawyers for the sake of millions of taxes, it will be completely unworthy of the loss. As we all know, law enforcement and lawyer fees in the United States are very expensive. Like many investigations against the president, perhaps just small matters such as stealing. After a while, tens of millions of dollars will disappear in a blink of an eye. The public has no idea where so much money is spent.
Moreover, the two girls would not use some financial means to purchase real estate directly in Manhattan in their personal name.
In order to avoid various taxes during the purchase of property, many wealthy people often trade in the name of shell companies in overseas tax havens. This can not only avoid some taxes during the purchase of property, but also avoid inheritance taxes in the future.
This operation is obviously out of the way, but the IRS does not have enough strength to launch a cross-border investigation. The reason why tax havens are called tax havens is definitely not just a measure. Therefore, this property model has gradually become a default and reasonable tax avoidance method.
Both girls have registered their properties in Bermuda. Even if they can be proved based on many local records in Manhattan, it is not easy for the IRS to find out the source of funds for buying a house in Bermuda.
Therefore, this time the IRS only once again played the role of ‘gun’ in the top game of the pyramid.
Simon Westeroslo offered to pay the tax for the two women to smooth out the issue. The IRS was happy to see it. After all, it was just "seeking money". The Hurst family may have a great influence, and Simon Westeroslo was not something that the IRS could easily provoke.
The IRS took the money and successfully picked itself out of this matter. The next step was the collision between the two giants, and the small fish and shrimps climbed far away automatically.
The storm on the East Coast began to disappear before it was brewing. However, the "tax evasion" incident between the two girls was obviously just an appetizer.
West Coast.
When dawn came, residents in the San Francisco area woke up early and picked up the San Francisco Chronicle on their lawn for a new day. The other even more exciting news immediately came to their eyes.
‘Simon Westeros’ illegitimate daughter is exposed.’
Doris Fercher, the former Wife's maid who tried to sell off the pregnancy information of a female assistant, was "exiled" to Tierra Tierra in the article, personally testified in an article, accusing the Westeros family of registered as the twin children under the name of Janet Westeros, the girl of which was actually born to Simon Westeros and his female assistant lover Jennifer Rebelde.
According to Doris Fitcher, in order to avoid the scandal being exposed, Janet Westeros had to be forced to record the girl named Seattle Westeros in her name.
The former Wei family maid who had no scruples also revealed in the article that Simon Westeros and Janet Westeros are just superficial couples.
The article also comes with a message that Janet Westeros suddenly left Los Angeles with his children last week and returned to Melbourne. It is suspected that the couple's marriage can finally be maintained and the largest divorce war in history involves assets will begin.
All right.
Except for the last one, everything else seems to be quite accurate.
However, it is precisely because it is too explosive that when the article is published, readers with a little "smart" think of the Westeros system's ban on the Hirst Group last week, and naturally regard the article as the Hearst Group's counterattack against Simon Westeros.
What's more, the material is indeed a big material.
only.
NO PICTURE YOU SAY A **!
In the whole article, except for the photos of Doris Fercher, the former whistleblower of the Virgin family, as the main whistleblower, there is only a photo of Simon and his wife appearing in public. Apart from this, there is no other substantial evidence for the photo.
The title is Westeros’ illegitimate girl exposed, and at least she gave a photo of the little girl, but it turned out to be an anonymous headline box that the media often used when they can’t find the photo.
The Westeros family's public relations team fought back immediately.
A solemn statement from the Igrit Portal stated that the Westeros will immediately launch a reputational lawsuit against the San Francisco Chronicle's defamation article. At the same time, the Westeros will also initiate litigation proceedings against Doris Fitcher's serious violation of the confidentiality agreement.
Regarding the statement from the Igrit Portal, the San Francisco Chronicle acts as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and looks like you are waiting for you to sue me.
Doris Fitcher obviously did not forget the confidentiality agreement, but the lawyer of the former Wei family maid quickly fought back in the media, saying that when the Westeros took the initiative to tear up the labor agreement and fired her party, the other party failed to perform the contract first, and the confidentiality agreement was invalid.
However, the statement was soon slapped in the face by a copy of the confidentiality agreement published on the Igrit portal.
On the copy of the agreement, the confidentiality clause specially circled clearly stipulates that no matter whether Doris Fercher leaves for any reason, he must comply with all the provisions of the confidentiality contract. In case of violation, the Westeros has the right to submit to Doris Fercher 10 times the amount of all remuneration and benefits during her work as compensation.
The salary of the Wei family maid has long been revealed. The annual salary of the highest level of personal maid is as high as 200,000 US dollars, and there are also the same amount of maintenance, medical care, equipment, travel, catering and other benefits every year, which is a total of 400,000 US dollars.
Doris Fercher joined the company in September 1990 and was fired last year, which took exactly three years. The compensation for 1.2 million US dollars in three years, according to the contract, the amount of compensation required is as high as 12 million US dollars.
Simon had no intention of mercy this time.
I just wanted to see if the Hurst family was reluctant to pay $12 million in compensation for the former Wei family maid.
Moreover, while the Igret Portal opens its confidentiality agreement, it also added a sentence to ask Doris Fercher if he dares to confess to the public why he was fired?
For the betrayer who was spared once but still ungrateful, Simon did not intend to just let the other party bear a huge compensation that he would never pay for the rest of his life.
As for the exposure of Hurst Group, Simon didn't take it seriously.
This incident is like the media suddenly exposed the cheating scandal in the original time and space. The result of the incident was that except for having to end a marriage with his wife for more than ten years and dividing huge property, Amazon, a behemoth, was almost unaffected.
Simon, the current Westeros system, is also resistant to scandals.
Therefore, although the revelations from the Greenwich Times and the San Francisco Chronicle triggered a large number of guardians to criticize Simon, there was no substantial damage to Simon now.
A new week begins.
Except for Janet calling from Australia and complaining that she had no shame to see others, Simon's work and life were basically as usual.
Chapter completed!
