Such an extreme good thing made several Boston families suspicious, and they sent senior manager Smith Hammer to personally visit Newfoundland to see if it was true.
"Actually, Mr. Smith doesn't need to come at all. I am also the consul of the Boston Consulate. You can find the British Consulate and ask them to contact me. You don't have to come in person. Look at the long journey and hard work."
Alan Wilson started to use the classic traditional skill to change his face, almost instantly forgetting his identity as a civil servant of the British Empire, as if he was a senior manager of the Boston Consortium, and directly took the opposite position.
Although the Boston Consortium ranks first among American conglomerates, it is constantly surpassed by latecomers. Whether it is Morgan or Rockefeller, they are all rising stars in front of the Boston Consortium, which started with the slave triangular trade.
The development of the entire Boston Consortium can be described as calm. Later, when Kennedy came to power, the Boston Consortium thought it could restore the glory of the Lawrence era, but Kennedy was assassinated again.
It can only be said that the earliest consortium in the United States had a bad fate. With this mentality, Alan Wilson answered all questions about Smith Hammer with a sympathetic attitude.
"Mr. Allen's move is very courageous." Smith Hammer sighed sincerely after hearing this.
"If I use another word to describe it, I would feel better." Alan Wilson thought that he was lucky that he was not a politician, otherwise he would not dare to accept such a bold compliment.
Smith Hammer personally came to Newfoundland because he wanted to put himself in the shoes of this growing tax haven and see if Newfoundland has a bright future.
Hearing that there were Chinese workers working on the island, Smith Hammer was surprised and said, "Mr. Allen is not afraid that these Chinese workers will not leave."
"Don't be afraid. Once the winter in Newfoundland comes, it will be as effective as a vacuum cleaner." Alan Wilson chuckled. He answered Smith Hammer's worries and even said that there is no such danger from the perspective of the worst-case outcome.
Do you know why the effectiveness of guerrilla warfare in the Northeast is far less effective than in the Guanhai Pass? This is the function of weather. If you really hide in the deep mountains and old forests to resist, the winter temperature can solve most of the problems.
In front of Smith Hammer, Alan Wilson mentioned the idea of Newfoundland's economic transformation, "I heard from Mr. Joy that there have been a lot more guests in Newfoundland recently. It seems that they all have the same purpose as Mr. Smith. The senses are too
Sharpened."
"When money is involved in this kind of thing, how can a thoughtful person be insensitive?" Smith Hammer looked at what you said and sighed sincerely, "Who would object to more and more money?"
"This is indeed what most people think." Alan Wilson nodded seriously. As for the financial knowledge that Smith Hammer asked about, this touched on his blind spot of knowledge. Although he claimed to know everything, he only knew about everything.
On the surface, it seems a bit embarrassing in front of professionals.
But Alan Wilson didn't understand, and instead satisfied Smith Hammer, because he understood, taking the Boston Consortium as an example, he learned that Newfoundland only needs to pay a management fee of fifty pounds a year, and it can completely cover its different industries.
Establish an equal number of branches in Newfoundland.
These branches own the vast majority of the assets of the Boston Consortium. The Boston Consortium does not need to have any institutional presence in Newfoundland, and these subsidiaries have nothing to do with Boston's main business.
By packaging these subsidiaries in Newfoundland as legal entities with "commercial substance" and employing few "core personnel" to undertake "high value-added" business activities such as equity investments, the Boston Group can openly transfer most of its
The profits generated and accumulated from the main business are transferred to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance.
All in all, Smith Hammer was very satisfied with this inspection and felt that his trip to Newfoundland was worthwhile.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Smith, is there a food processing industry among Boston's main industries?" Although Alan Wilson didn't know any advanced financial knowledge, he could tell that the other party was very satisfied.
From this point of view, Alan Wilson can also say that he has no tricks to win, so he will exploit the advantages of the Boston Consortium while it is hot to see if he can achieve complementary advantages.
"Mr. Allen really asked the right person." Smith Hammer said quite confidently, "Boston can be said to be one of the main centers of the American food processing industry. We cannot say that we have a monopoly on the market, but there are extremely special features in food processing.
status."
Smith Hammer also said in an insinuating way that when the harvest of local Newfoundland fishermen enters the American market, the opinion of the Boston consortium is very important. After all, the two places are not far apart and many products overlap.
"Then it seems that Newfoundland should have a better relationship with Boston." Alan Wilson said as if he suddenly realized it, and said with a lot of compliments, "If the two parties cooperate, we can supplement it to a certain extent. Newfoundland's high-quality seafood
, if we can get help from Boston, we can reach the dining tables of thousands of American citizens.”
"That's right!" Smith Hammer responded positively. "This will make Newfoundland's fishermen richer and strengthen Boston's voice in the food processing industry."
"After all, the special relationship between Britain and the United States is here. Helping Boston is helping Newfoundland." Alan Wilson said with admiration.
He has now discovered the value of Smith Hammer. After all, he hopes that Newfoundland will take off immediately. In particular, fishing has always been a traditional project of Newfoundland and should continue to be carried forward. Introducing the help of the Boston Consortium in this regard will help Newfoundland quickly
The take-off is of great significance.
In this case, Alan Wilson is willing to try any means that can make money. He just hopes to achieve results quickly, no matter whether the money is noble or despicable.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! And is it despicable to ask the Boston Consortium to help? He does not think so. On the contrary, it can benefit the fishermen of Newfoundland and make his work in Newfoundland even more glorious.
Smith Hammer is also very happy, because this is also good for the Boston consortium, with the support of the Newfoundland fisheries. In terms of seafood, Boston's advantages will be even greater, and its influence on the food market will also be enhanced.
The charm of trade comes from this, and learning from each other's strengths is the meaning of trade.
With a common foundation, there is naturally nothing to oppose. As the chief executive of Newfoundland, Alan Wilson negotiated with Boston food processing industry giants to benefit Newfoundland fishermen. News spread like wildfire, which was actually his own release.
Out.
It doesn't matter whether it was released by oneself. What's important is that Newfoundland's fishermen are looking forward to it. As a colony, Newfoundland's fishermen can of course do business freely with all parties, including Canada, Europe, and the United States.
It’s just that individuals lack bargaining power.
Fortunately, Newfoundland's fishing grounds are rich in resources, so everyone's life is OK, but if it could be higher, who would object?
However, unlike the smooth sailing that Newfoundland fishermen expected, Alan Wilson and Smith Hammer had differences on specific methods. Alan Wilson advocated controlling production to maintain prices, while Smith Hammer hoped to increase production.
Alan Wilson knew that the Newfoundland fisheries had been exhausted in later generations, and cod was even harder to find. The entire fishery was already supported by Arctic shrimp and sea crabs. With such a future waiting for him, he certainly could not choose a similar path.
Smith Hammer believes that a necessary increase in production is necessary. We can use Newfoundland's unique and rich fisheries to conduct self-research and destroy competitors. Then the remaining market is not for the Boston consortium? And for Newfoundland fishermen...
It sounds very reasonable. Just like the Samsung Group in later generations, various reverse operations, the less profitable it is, the more it increases production, squeezing out all competitors and then monopolizing the market and increasing prices. It sounds very reasonable.
.
But Alan Wilson knows that everything can be planned, but food cannot be planned. Moreover, fishery resources are incomparable to industrial products and have no added value at all.
Unless it was like caviar, first drive the fish to the brink of extinction, leaving a small area of production, and then make caviar a luxury product. But this would be a repeat of the destruction of Newfoundland's fishing grounds in the future, and he couldn't accept it.
"Dear Mr. Smith, let's put the food processing issue aside for now. After all, I am a civil servant and you are a financial manager. We are talking about something we are not good at." Alan Wilson took the initiative to turn off the fire and expressed his disagreement.
The issues people debate have nothing to do with their majors.
"That's right, we should let several families send real food managers to talk, instead of a financial manager like me." Smith Hammer patted his forehead and said with a sassy smile, "We actually discussed fish!
"
"If Mr. Smith thinks there is no problem, you can handle it now, or ask for instructions from home." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "I happen to have time these days, so I will personally handle this matter as a salesperson."
"The chief executive of Newfoundland does it himself? That's a great honor for me." Smith Hammer nodded. Although the two had occasional arguments, they got along pretty well in the past few days. He immediately expressed his intention to set up several branches.
Several Boston families have agreed.
In this way, Alan Wilson collected a fee of US$700, and five more companies were affiliated with him in Newfoundland.
Although it has only been a short period of time since he issued the executive order, it has already brought more than 30,000 US dollars in income to Newfoundland. I believe this accumulation will increase over time, and the tax haven plan has begun to bear fruit.
While the tax haven plan is initially bearing fruit, timber production in the Humber River Basin has not stopped for a moment. Now he is still discussing the development of fisheries with the Boston consortium, which is simply the Newfoundland version of three-ring diplomacy.
