"It seems that our Mr. Arthur can't become a real sir." Strange said a little regretfully.
"Sir" is a term for men, used to express respect and politeness. For example, you can use this word to refer to a strange man or a man in a certain position, such as a policeman, a teacher or a boss, etc.
At the same time, this word has another meaning, that is, the synonym for the nobles, and 'SIR' can also be the abbreviation of the title of British knight, indicating honor and honor.
Strange is just making fun of it. But for the landlords, they really hope that Arthur can take over Atlantis. After all, after that world-wide tsunami, countries basically got the ocean PTSD. Now all countries have inexplicable fears about ocean voyages.
That is, thanks to the emergence of Stark Group's Ark Reactor, the world's energy demand has been reduced again and again, so many marine oil fields have been forced to close... In fact, after that tsunami, there were no offshore oil fields still operating in the world.
At the same time, sea transportation has not been fully restored since that tsunami. Countries urgently hope to have a good talk with Atlantis, at least they need to know which routes they can pass freely without worrying about angering the residents under the sea.
But unfortunately, even the most enlightened Atlantis, Atlantis, did not pay much attention to this matter... They may be willing to live in peace with the landmen, but they do not understand the urgent needs of the landmen. So they never took the initiative to talk about navigation.
This has led to major capitals having great concerns about reinvesting and building the ocean-going industry... After all, investing in an ocean-going freighter is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and can destroy them for only a moment! Construction is too difficult, but it is easy to destroy, which leads to sea transportation becoming a high-risk and high-reward project... Capital is profit-seeking, but naturally averse to risk. This is also why capital likes to cooperate with the government the most, because generally speaking, government projects have the least risk.
In short, whether from the perspective of capital or government, or even from the perspective of civilians, they all hope to have a stable and useful channel with the mysterious country of Atlantis, rather than being confused like now.
All the ideas about the Atlantis are worth guessing!
But unfortunately, Arthur's chance of taking Atlantis was so small that it was negligible.
It's impossible at all.
Of course, if you want to say how disappointed you are, there is no. After all, everyone is analyzing the pros and cons of it.
Arthur grew up on land, and he was in his thirties to recognize his ancestors. Before that, he didn't even know what Atlantis was. How could he have the opportunity to inherit the throne in this case?
Even if it is a rich family, there is a child who is living among the people, even if it is an only child, it is unlikely that this child who knows nothing can inherit the family business... The reason is very simple. He doesn't know anything, and he doesn't even know the most basic family operation mechanism. How can he inherit the family business?
The kind of child who found a wandering child from the people who came back to inherit the family business is always a wishful thinking novel plot, which is unlikely to appear in reality. At most, it is to find the child, set up a fund for him, and then get a sum of money every month to live a good life. As for family business, it is enough to give it to a professional manager.
In fact, many wealthy families do the same with incompetent heirs. They set up a foundation, then invest all their property in the foundation, and then let their children enter the foundation, and then the industry is managed by a professional manager, and the children can get dividends directly.
For example, Buffett announced a seemingly generous decision: to donate more than 99% of his wealth to charity. However, this is not a flood of kindness, but an unexpected financial magic and a wonderful inheritance tax avoidance technique.
The inheritance tax in the United States is simply an unavoidable tax hell for the rich. Faced with a tax rate of up to 40%, these rich people are not a fuel-saving lamp. So they all use an old trick - setting up charities. In this way, they can cleverly avoid the huge inheritance tax and enjoy tax deductions within 5 years of donation. What's more cleverly is that these charities usually exist in the form of equity funds, which means that once they have mastered equity, it is equivalent to mastering the fund's dominance.
Right. Funds only need to donate 5% of the income per year and pay 1% of the tax, and other income becomes private money freely controlled by the rich. Although regulations stipulate that charities have to do some charity every year, in fact, this amount of money may not be enough to pay the annual interest of the fund. This series of operations is that the rich use legal loopholes to easily transfer property without paying huge inheritance taxes. And Buffett's "naked donation" statement this time is actually a gorgeous tax avoidance stage play.
In fact, many rich people do this... For example, a star in a certain Hong Kong said that he would donate all his property and not leave it to his children... A group of people followed suit and praised his feet, which is actually a similar operation. Not only can he gain a good reputation, but he can also avoid a series of problems, and others will make trouble.
Many uninformed people were foolishly saying that foreign wealth was good. If all their property was donated, domestic wealth would not do this. Then there was the routine of "What about this country? How about the body? How about the body? In fact, there was no special thing about other Western wealthy people who were saints. Their property was actually left to their descendants... They were so reasonable to avoid taxes! But no one planned to correct such loopholes!
Foreign wealthy people never really donate naked. They prefer to "donate" all their money to the charity funds they set up. This is just a performance. This gorgeous charity cloak is actually to avoid inheritance tax. Where does the disaster relief tent purchased by Bill Gates charity fund cost $250,000 to go has become a mystery. Behind this "naked donation" is the property transfer plan carefully designed by the rich. Although Buffett is now in good health, he must arrange his own legacy over 93 years old. After all, the once richest man in the world and the fifth richest man in the world, every minute and every second of his life affects the fate of billions of wealth.
Buffett's declaration of "naked donation" seems to be a noble dedication to wealth, but in fact it is a clever distribution of property. He appointed his three children as trustees of charity funds. This seems to be a family inheritance, but is actually a clever family inheritance game. Through this operation, it can not only guarantee the rational use of wealth, but also cultivate a sense of responsibility for social welfare among children. This strategy not only avoids inheritance taxes, but also lays the foundation for the family's future. This is not only the inheritance of wealth, but also a politically correct performance of charity. The rich know how to do charity.
, but behind this is a smart avoidance of taxes. Charity funds have become their magic tool for avoiding taxes, and the annual donation of 5% can almost be regarded as a symbolic charity act, but the actual cost is insignificant. Buffett's charity plan is not only a inheritance of wealth, but also a high understanding of wealth inheritance and charity. Donating property to charity is not only a wise arrangement for one's own wealth, but also a reward for society. This process is not a simple transfer of property, but also a brilliant infiltration of charity.
It’s a long way to go. In addition to evading inheritance tax, this measure is more important to ensure that your property is not to be filial to your unfilial children and grandchildren!
In fact, even if the descendants are arrogant and extravagant, they can't spend much money. At least for those top rich people, the property they leave behind is enough for future generations to squander, but they are afraid that these bastards want to create a career... This is the most troublesome thing.
After all, playing with celebrities, cars, and yachts doesn’t cost much. But once they want to start a career, they’re over.
So when they know that their descendants are not doing well, they are more willing to hand over their business to professional managers. At least the chance of losing their fortunes will be much smaller.
Arthur is the kind of descendant who has no foundation and no ability.
Although Atlanta looks silly and sweet, others have received a complete imperial education and are well aware of all political forces and political operations in Atlantis. What about Arthur? He doesn't know anything! How did he inherit the throne?
So the real senior executives actually didn't plan to go back and inherit the throne at the beginning. (In fact, the operation in the movie was completely nonsensical, and Arthur inherited the throne without any obstacles. It was simply too unrestrained. This kind of thing could not happen in the real world. Even if Arthur could fight, it would be useless. After all, he was not a tribe chief. Whoever could fight could fight would be able to get on?)
"Okay, but how long do we have to wait?" Although Strange is already forty years old as a man, he is already very mature, but as a mage, he is just an intern who has practiced for two and a half years and has not adapted to the mages' feelings about time... You should know that even the most slack mage can live a hundred years old, and it is easier to do it for two hundred years. Of course, Gu Yi is super-spec.
It has been almost a thousand years, and its appearance has not changed, which is quite rare among mages.
So for mages, they never lack patience. They can even sleep for several months in order to study a spell.
But Strange couldn't do it.
He only feels like life is like years.
They are fighting on the third line now, on the one hand, they have to deal with those terrifying enemies from different dimensions, on the other hand, they have to repair the destroyed temple, and on the other hand, they have to defend the temple in Hong Kong. Everyone is used like animals, which really tests this intern.
He didn't even have a moment. This was because he didn't need to fight, and other mages were even more tired.
For example, Modu has been sleeping for more than a hundred hours, even as a mage, such strength is very terrifying. Of course, there are even more powerful scroll kings, namely Casillas and Gu Yi. Casillas has been fighting at the forefront and has not had a rest for a moment, let alone Gu Yi.
Strange estimated that if they drag on it, they would be dragged down without waiting for that Geer to attack.
"Patient...Strange, patience. This is your biggest problem. You will always lack patience. We are Kama Taj, we are the last guardians of human beings. We must have patience. After all, human beings have never been a patient race. They are not even willing to give a football coach some time to rebuild the team..."
By the way, I want to say here that Modu is a football fan or a fan of Manchester United. Since Ferguson retired, Manchester United has been in a mess. Modu always feels that the biggest factor in whether a team can be great is stability. A stable coach can inject great genes into a football team!
Just like Ferguson is like Manchester United, his more than 20 years of coaching have given this team the same personality as him, tough and unyielding. But now? A coach is forced to be dismissed after not working for two years.
"The UK is almost done! Teacher Modu! I guess you will never be able to watch the Premier League in the future!"
Strange complained.
The situation in the UK is very bad now, and the Premier League has been shut down long ago.
"No, don't underestimate human resilience. As long as things pass, time will always give us an answer."
Modu has a good attitude.
"I don't care much about how the British guy is, but the situation is really bad now. After all, it's unlikely that it will always be like this, either you or Gu Yi." Kai said a fair word.
It’s right that the mage is very strong, but the mage is not a god. He keeps trying so hard that he can’t stand it no matter how powerful he is, especially the ancient 1st.
Now every time I see her, her condition is even worse.
The great enemies were also very clear that they were indeed not Gu Yi's opponents, but they could drag her down!
So Ancient One is even worse than Casillas.
"No." Modu said with a firm look on his face: "I guess that bastard will definitely come here before the two temples are rebuilt."
Modu’s guess cannot be wrong.
On the contrary, it is very likely!
"Okay, that's not a few days."
Under the action of spells, the reconstruction is indeed very fast. In a few days, the two temples will be rebuilt. At that time, the mages of Kamataj can be liberated, and then Geer will not have much chance.
So he must be before that.
But the enemy is not stupid, or in other words, the enemy is very smart. He naturally knows more about what the mages can think of than the mages!
So from the beginning, his target was not three temples, or in other words, destroying two temples was enough!
His real goal.
At the bottom of the sea!
Geer is now heading towards Atlantis.
His real goal is the Poseidon Trident!
The sea god artifact!
As the enemy of the gods, Nal needs to understand what a god is like. It can even be said that Nal existed to massacre the gods. As the artifact he created himself, the Black Death Sword, also contains Nal's wisdom.
It can clearly feel the existence of the Sea God Trident.
At the same time, I also understand the real function of this thing!
