The main reason why Ye Dongqing was trying to cheat Old Sam was that she wanted to make money through him, earn a little more wealth, and then invest it for herself to live a good life.

Last time when I talked to this old man, I saw with my own eyes that someone paid rent with cash and then rent was discounted.

From this he guessed that Old Sam was mostly using cash transactions to achieve tax evasion. Apart from this reason, there was no reason to advocate using cash to pay rent, online transfer, or credit card swiping, which was undoubtedly more convenient.

It is difficult for the official to track down cash transactions, so people like to use cash to avoid the Federal Taxation Bureau's investigation. After working in the money laundering business for so many years, Ye Dongqing has extraordinary insights and will naturally think about tax avoidance.

Flies do not bite seamless eggs, and they are not good people who abide by the law. Now it depends on whether they can deceive the other party and benefit themselves.

If there is only a little untaxed cash, it is not worth Ye Dongqing's fight, and Meng tricked Lao Sam into falling into the trap he set.

He is still tempting. If he wants to find out his old man, what is more important is that the old man has cancer. If he can consider more for his children, he will choose to leave more money to them, such as this apartment that can bring continuous benefits.

Cash can be given directly to the children, but it is unlikely to be traced. However, real estate is not possible. Whether it is a gift during life or a will that allows the children to inherit after their death, they will have to pay a large amount of tax.

According to the provisions that have been extended to the present in 1999, the inheritance threshold is 650,000 US dollars, the tax rate is subject to an excess progressive system, and the maximum tax rate reaches 55%. Ye Dongqing believes that the valuation of this building is at least as high as 25 million US dollars, which means that the inheritance tax is as high as tens of millions of US dollars by normal means.

Gift tax is more complicated. Considering factors such as exemption and appreciation, it also requires paying millions of dollars, which is not much less than allowing them to get inheritance. It depends on how many children Sam has, because everyone can get the exemption amount.

The United States has been developing steadily for two or three hundred years, and its legal system is relatively complete. Policies are more inclined to obtain wealth from the rich and distribute it to the poor as welfare, achieving a rebalancing.

Unfortunately, the idea is very good, but the rich will not sit still and wait for death. So on the basis of high inheritance tax, they prefer to achieve long-term transfer of wealth by establishing charitable trust funds, and other means. However, when transitioning wealth through charitable foundations, there is no need to pay too much tax.

The pit has been dug, just wait for the old man to jump inside.

Old Sam did not disappoint Ye Dongqing, and asked nervously, "Tell me, what is your cousin doing specifically? How could I evade taxes? I have been insisting on paying taxes. I am simply wasting public resources in the investigation!"

"Hey, it's useless to talk to me about this."

Ye Dongqing was holding her smile in her heart. Seeing that Old Sam couldn't sit still, she even believed that the old man had a ghost in his heart. She continued to open her mouth and said, "A special investigator, mainly representing the IRS to find suspicious untaxpayers, and then send them to prison. She also had to fine a large amount of money, which was punitive and much higher than a reasonable tax rate.

I heard from my cousin that you have been collecting cash rent, and some of them have been paid taxes, but more of them are hidden by yourself. Combined with the rent, the occupancy rate, and the total amount of tax you pay each month, there are huge differences and are trying to find out where you are hiding the cash."

He didn't know the specific inside story. Based on his previous experience, he could guess a rough idea. Many shops illegally evade taxes through cash. They just analyzed the rental income of Old Sam. The amount of tax evasion should be indispensable, and they have already left the scope of small-scale quarrels.

Judging from the trembling expression of Old Sam's lips, Ye Dongqing understood that he was probably right and threw out the bait at this appropriate time, not giving the other party too much time to think: "He asked me to tell you that he wanted to talk to you privately over the phone, and said that the investigation was just carried out in secret and did not report to the official system. What does this mean?"

Deliberately pretending to have a silly understanding of the face. When encountering such a thing, people generally don’t like too smart people because they are worried about being deceived and will become aware of their guard.

Old Sam is not young, and although his mind is not very smart, his accumulated life experience still makes him an old fox.

I instantly understood the deep meaning and guessed that it was probably blackmailed and there was room for operation. I secretly cursed in my heart and felt glad for it.

My mood was like a roller coaster ride, and there was a big ups and downs. After weighing the pros and downs, I planned to talk to the special investigator of the Federal Taxation Bureau first, shook my head and said, "It's okay, I'm probably wrong. What's your cousin's phone number? I called him and talked to him. He was already a dying person, and I didn't want to be buried in the soil with misunderstandings."

Big fish bites the hook.

At this moment, Ye Dongqing just wanted to laugh, and felt that she had probably caught this old man, and she felt so comfortable.

It is hard to imagine that successfully lie to others will also have a sense of accomplishment, mainly the feeling of crushing the other person in terms of IQ and playing with others in the palm of your hand.

The reason for taking a wrong path in his previous life was, on the one hand, because he was poor, and on the other hand, because he was too smart and rational, he knew that it was difficult to make a comeback when he was young. He would rather take a risk to take a gamble and end up losing all the money.

This life is different. He is young in body but no longer young in psychology. He has a strong purpose in doing things. He only plans to make his first pot of gold and stops.

Since there is a brighter golden avenue in front of you, there is no need to continue to take risks. Although it is not easy to enter the business world with this Chinese face, the memories in your head are advantages that others cannot match.

Not wanting to cause trouble, Ye Dongqing followed the topic of Old Sam and lies casually: "The number is in my phone, I'll tell you later."

I was not prepared enough and was planning to buy a mobile phone for temporary use.

I hurriedly decided to catch the old man and take the hook. The specific implementation method has to be considered. I went out to buy an unnamed phone card with pre-charged phone bills, and spent thirty dollars and a bottle of water. This time I really had no money.

Whether it can succeed depends not only on what Old Sam thinks, but also on how Ye Dongqing talks to him.

After changing my mobile phone card, I waited patiently in the room for a while. After an hour, I felt that I couldn't wait like this. I was so hungry that I rumbling. I took two watches out to cash out.

...

It's snowing in New York.

Street lights and tall buildings are shining with each other, and small snowflakes fall in the sky, blowing to all parts of the city by the wind.

Even if this is the XC area with low prices, it is not easy for ordinary people to own a house nearby. More people's monthly income is only enough to pay rent.

A regular pawn company would ask for invoices and other certificates, and occasionally file a certificate, which was more troublesome. Ye Dongqing successfully sold two watches in Chinatown, got 18,000 US dollars and entered his bank account.

The boss was too lazy to ask more questions, so he just paid off his money and thought that Ye Dongqing was a thief, so he asked him to sell the goods to him in the future.

No matter what, it is a good day to celebrate. Seeing the bad things, Ye Dongqing took a taxi and left as soon as she left the door.

I'm going to go shopping in the snow, and I'm going to have class again tomorrow...
