Reasonable tax avoidance was something that all companies in the world would do their best to do because it was allowed by law.
If you had the ability, you could be like Apple and Starbucks, earning hundreds of millions and billions of pounds in England every year without paying a penny to the English government.
The English government had no way to pay them and had to refund taxes to Apple and Starbucks.
Why? Because these companies found a tax loophole in the English government, they put most of their profitable business in companies registered in Ireland and the Netherlands.
The companies in England were only guaranteed a profit of about 10%. In addition, they had to pay the employees in the English companies, so these big companies were losing money in England every year. Losses were not subject to tax and they could enjoy the tax refund policy of the English government.
Although they were losing money, in fact, these companies made more money than their turnover. Apple had hundreds of billions of dollars in cash outside the United States, but they did not bring it back. If the funds were not brought back to the United States, the money would not be subject to tax.
Chen Mo felt that he had to learn from these big companies because the whole world was legally avoiding tax. As long as it was legally allowed, it was not a crime. Even the English royal family was avoiding tax. Chen Mo was not stupid enough to pay so much tax.
That day, Chen Mo found a company that specialized in helping people register companies and registered two companies.
One was registered in England called Devonshire Industries. Yes, that was his surname. He hoped that his company could become a pillar of the country like Stark Industries.
The other company was registered in Ireland called Ireland Import and Export Corporation.
Because they were both registered in England, Chen Mo received the operating licenses for the two companies the next day.
On the morning of the third day, Chen Mo used the Ireland company to sign a contract with the disc manufacturer for 5,000 discs. After paying the money, Chen Mo shipped the discs to his dorm.
He called Robert Carter and asked him to come to Chen Mo's dorm. Chen Mo still had some contracts to ask him for help.
Robert knocked on Chen Mo's door not long after. Chen Mo invited Robert in and asked directly, "Robert, can you help me draft some legal documents? Of course, I will pay you."
Robert asked curiously, "What legal documents?"
Chen Mo said, "I listened to you and registered a company. One is called Devonshire Industries, registered in England. The other is called Ireland Import and Export Company, registered in Ireland. I need you to help me draft a few contracts. I will put the copyright of Plants vs. Zombies into the Devonshire Company's hands, and then sign a contract with the Irish Import & Export Company. Each Plants vs. Zombies game disc will be licensed to the Irish Import & Export Company for £1. "
Robert looked at Chen Mo strangely. This guy had changed a lot recently. In his impression, Chen Mo had never talked to him about anything related to the law. He asked, "Buddy, are you really a computer science major and not from our law school? You know how to avoid taxes? If the funds don't enter Ireland's banks, Ireland won't be able to collect taxes from you. That's a good idea, William. "Robert knew that Chen Mo wanted to avoid taxes.
Chen Mo was overjoyed. This was the simplest way to avoid taxes. If you knew Apple's way of avoiding taxes, you would be even more surprised.
"I'll read up on it when I'm free. I know about reasonable tax avoidance. Robert, will there be any trouble with the law if you sign the contract like this?"
"Why would there be trouble? You're not the only one doing this. There are many companies in England doing this," Robert said with a straight face.
After Robert helped Chen Mo with the contract, Chen Mo took out a box with 50 discs and gave it to Robert. He said apologetically, "You know my situation now. I can only give you this as payment. There are 50 discs in the box. When I have the money, I'll treat you to a big meal."
"Okay, no problem. William, you're going to be rich soon. I have to get on your good side so that I can intern at your company. You're going to be rich in the future. Aren't we law students supposed to serve the rich?" Robert joked.
Chen Mo knew that Robert was joking. How could a graduate from the University of London go to a shell company that didn't even have a subordinate?
Chen Mo laughed and said, "No problem, Robert. When I'm rich, I'll definitely ask you to be my personal lawyer."
"Then it's settled, William." Robert happily high-fived Chen Mo.
The two joked around for a while and talked about some details before Robert left. Chen Mo called the other alumni who had paid and arranged to hand over the discs at his dorm. Chen Mo spent the whole day in his dorm waiting for them to pick up the discs. After sending off the last alumni, Chen Mo finished his dinner and lay on his bed, not knowing what to do.
After being busy for half a month, Chen Mo suddenly had nothing to do. He felt a little bored.
I'd better meditate. Chen Mo hadn't really practiced magic for the past half a month. He still hadn't figured out how to use magic safely in the real world, mainly because he didn't dare to reveal that he knew magic.
As long as he wanted to live a normal life, he couldn't let anyone know that he knew magic. There was no information about the existence of magic in this world. He didn't want to be captured by the government as a freak for research. He might even be dissected.
Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Chen Mo immersed himself in magic meditation. His mind entered his mind. Chen Mo realized that the mental strength in his mind had increased by so much.
If his mental strength was like a sesame seed 15 days ago, it would be the size of a walnut now.
Chen Mo was confused. What was going on? He hadn't practiced magic these past few days, so how did his mental strength increase by itself?
At that moment, a notification sounded in his mind. "Host's mental strength has reached the elementary level. You can learn any magic on your own." After that, the system didn't respond.
That's elementary spiritual power? Was this a benefit of the system? It seemed that the system was still somewhat useful. Then didn't that mean he didn't have to meditate every day to train his mental strength? He didn't have to do anything, and his mental strength could increase by itself? Was this the benefit of having a stronger soul than normal people? Or was it because of the system?
William felt the magical knowledge and spells in his mind. He realized that as long as his mental strength could control this magic, then he could read and understand it, then he could learn any level of magic without any level restrictions.
Chen Mo raised his hand, and a ball of flame slowly appeared in his right palm. With a wave of his hand, the flame in his hand turned into a flame ring half a meter in diameter. Chen Mo persisted for more than ten minutes before he felt a little tired. A few days ago, when he was still a low-level magician, he couldn't last more than a minute with this kind of magic flame. Now that he had persisted for more than ten minutes, he only felt a little tired.
Didn't this mean that his mental strength had increased by ten to twenty times?
Damn, it's so hot, and I'm a little short of oxygen. Chen Mo stopped the spell and hurriedly opened the window to take in a few breaths of fresh air. He leaned against the window and thought about how he could use magic without anyone knowing.
Damn, it would be great if he had Mystique's shapeshifting spell. He could change into any appearance and even imitate fingerprints. That way, even if someone found out, they wouldn't be able to link it to him.
Once he learned Kamat Taj's portal, then no one would be able to catch him. That's right, he should learn portal magic first. It's a consummate skill for escaping and assassination.
Finding the motivation, Chen Mo closed the window and drew the curtains. He focused on learning portal magic.
His mind entered the system and thought, I want to learn Kamat Taj's portal magic.
All the magical knowledge about portal magic was imprinted in Chen Mo's mind. Chen Mo followed the system's instructions and learned bit by bit. Perhaps it was because he was a transmigrator, but he had a special affinity with spatial magic.
It didn't take long for him to be able to draw a portal magic circle in his dormitory. He set the portal in his dormitory's washroom. He didn't dare to set the portal anywhere else.
Who knew who would be on the other side of the door and who would be able to see him. After learning it dozens of times, Chen Mo slowly felt that his mental strength could locate the washroom in his dormitory. The magic circle in his hand suddenly opened. Chen Mo could see everything in his washroom through the magic door.
Chen Mo was excited. He didn't even think about whether it would be dangerous. He stepped through the portal and entered the washroom.
Standing in the washroom, Chen Mo looked at his hand and the things in the washroom. "Wow, this is amazing. I'm a genius. I learned it just like that?
Who would be able to catch me in the future? It's a godly skill for escaping and traveling.
