As the new operation director of the Rockets, in charge of the team's player trading, Bob Myers is definitely a more powerful executive besides general manager Morey.
In the office, Bob looked at a list in his hand and frowned. Seeing the names of Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace in the list, he knew the trouble.
However, he knows that he needs to find a way to bring people to Houston even if he is in trouble, because this is the embodiment of his value. When he digs old Nelson from the warriors to the Rockets, his first shot is a good one, and the next deal is also very important, which is related to whether he can get the position of general manager he covets in the future.
Fortunately, he also has his own advantages, that is, he has a very good relationship with most of the agents in the league. After joining Andy Smith's team, he has more frequent contacts with all the agents. He treats them with the mode of transposition thinking, such as Changxi, with an annual salary of 5 million yuan. I think the most valuable one is the agent. Such excellent control Wei, it's so cheap that the agent can get even less commission. I believe Changxi's agent will help him with his work.
Thinking of this, Bob smiled, took out a black book from the drawer, began to search, picked up the phone on the desk, and pressed the number.
"Hi, George, I, Bob Myers. That's right. This is my office phone. OK, well, you must invite you to dinner when you come to Houston... I'm calling you to tell you something about Changxi
In the villa on the hillside of the farm, Andy is sitting on the sofa with a mobile phone, a smile on his lips, listening to the praise on the phone, and putting aside the TV remote control in his hand.
"Andy, it's a good job to buy Houston Rockets. Some old friends have called to congratulate me these days. Ha ha."
Andy listens to the happy laughter of his grandfather Smith on the phone. He doesn't shake his head or laugh. His grandfather and Grandpa both regard the team as a new show off, especially old Texas. Of course, Andy also knows that it's not always intentional to expand the influence of Smith family in Texas.
"Grandpa, I didn't buy the team to talk and show off at the party. The Rockets wanted to consider the family's influence in Texas, but more importantly, they wanted to increase investment and enjoy huge tax incentives." Andy said with a smile.
"You're really smart. You can count on one stroke. No wonder you buy teams everywhere, New York Red Bull football team, New York Giants, Houston Rockets. Is there another baseball team? In this way, you have to spend at least $700 million or $800 million in this year! " On the phone, there was an exclamation from old Smith. He was more and more surprised at his grandson.
In the American employment creation act passed by Congress in 2004, it is expressly stipulated that the purchasers of professional sports teams can deduct most of the purchase price from the team's taxable income within 15 years. Professional teams usually use a limited liability company or an entity that "can pass on costs," and whose profits or losses can be recorded directly in the owner's personal tax returns and can also be used to deduct other sources of income.
That's why Andy bought rugby and baseball teams that he didn't have a cold at all. NIMA, even if he tried his best to go through various channels, he had to pay taxes for his 10 billion income. The United States is a global tax collection country. No matter what money you make in that corner, as long as it's an American, you'll pay taxes.
This kind of acquisition team can deduct tax. When Andy saw in the tax avoidance plan put forward by the think tank, he set up a sports investment company to acquire various teams without saying anything. There is nothing more pleasant than not paying taxes to the U.S. government!
Before Andy became a rich man, he had a one-sided understanding of the saying that the United States was a paradise for the rich. But after he had a think tank, he understood that the tax of the U.S. government was not only varied, but also very heavy. But for the rich, they had a reasonable way to avoid tax, even less than the middle class.
The funds he left behind will not be transferred back in the near future. It is no different from robbing that the overseas profits need to pay 35% tax when they are remitted back to China. He will wait until the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out in an all-round way. In order to put out the fire in the United States, he will definitely boost the domestic manufacturing industry, revive exports and reduce the proportion of return tax. After all, it will attract the return of funds Low cost and timely boost to the dollar.
At that time, most of the money will be drawn back, which can be offset by the money of the team. With a variety of tax avoidance methods, NIMA can play for 15 years with the tax deduction enjoyed by the team. It's not too cool!
It's really hard not to get rich!
The old Smith who hung up also shook his head and smiled bitterly. The Smiths really have a business genius, who can play with money and spend money.
I spent a good afternoon with my grandfather and grandmother. The next day, Andy said goodbye to my elder brother and took three female assistants and bodyguards to Seattle, the Boeing factory in the upper left corner of the U.S. map.At the invitation of Boeing company, he went to check the refitting of his personal big toys. After all, after paying the money, he had not seen the real thing, but sent a person from the think tank to stare at it.
As for the private plane, Andy also hopes to receive it earlier. After all, as he gets busier and busier, he may go to another country or city at any time. Having his own plane is not only a matter of convenience, but also of security.
Although it's convenient to rent a private plane now, the price is not cheap. For example, the Challenger 850 of Bombardier he's riding now costs about $10000 an hour. The cost of taking off and landing is about 2200 yuan. The cost of staying overnight is charged at 15% of the take-off and landing cost. The cleaning cost is about 120 yuan, as well as the fuel cost and pick-up cost. Basically, the cost of a flight is about 100000 dollars.
Of course, Andy also knows that his private plane can't spend less money. After all, the annual custody and maintenance costs will be $2.3 million, maybe some people will say it's not expensive! That's before the flight hours have accumulated to a certain extent, the plane needs to be maintained. The cost is not cheap. The cost of aircraft maintenance is about 10% of the overall price, so the private plane is really a very luxurious big toy to burn money.
When Andy's private plane landed at Seattle Airport and taxied to the private apron, it was already in the afternoon.
Back in Seattle, the happiest thing is Tori Black and Christina, who is also from Seattle.
Not far from the private apron, there is a middle-aged man in suits and glasses standing at the root of several black SUVs, seeing the cabin opened, and soon several familiar faces appeared.
"Welcome to Seattle, boss!
Andy shook hands and exchanged greetings with the left behind members of Boeing's think tank, then he bent down to enter the car, and soon the team left the private apron.
"Boss, the Boeing people invite you to visit the aircraft assembly plant tomorrow, and see if your aircraft decoration is satisfactory, and see what needs to be improved."
Hearing the report from his subordinates, Andy nodded his head slightly to show that he knew. Through the window, he looked out into the view. Seattle, a romantic city known as the "Emerald City", is known as the "green gem" because of its abundant rain and green. The city's simple original waterways, snow capped Mount Rainier in the distance, landmark old buildings and modern skyscrapers, with unique culture and charm, constitute a unique city charm of Seattle.
The four seasons hotel, located in the downtown area, has long received a call from Andy Smith, a loyal VIP. The preparations for the presidential suite have been ready. After all, the high-end concierge service of the four seasons hotel is impeccable.
After staying, Andy strolled around the presidential suite and was very satisfied. Whether it was the open balcony of the hotel or the well lit bathroom, he could see the vast beauty of Pacific Puget Bay and Elliott Bay. The slowly flowing clear Bo, the white ships floating on the sea, and the distant green trees and jungle form a quiet picture, which is lingering for a long time.
