Chapter 9 I want to sell 100 million pounds
William smiled and stopped talking as he was doing it. He knew that what he said was almost done. How much wealth can the game create? Those who have been playing games for the rest of their lives know what he needed to say.
EA and Ubisoft are both the top independent publishers in the world. They can publish games and game peripherals independently, and Besta is now the largest DVD and game publisher in the United States.
Now the game discs of Plants vs. Zombies can sell at least 70 million pounds, and the game can also be released in new versions, which is another big sum of money.
In addition, it is strange that these game companies and agents do not want this game if they don’t want this game.
Moreover, as long as Besta is about to IPO (i.e. go public), it will be very helpful to his listing next year. One-fold profit is equal to 20 times the market value increase, and the timing of selling things is very important.
The person in charge of Besta could not help but speak, "Okay, we now know that Mr. Devin Hill, you will sell the full copyright of the game. You said so much just to tell us that the future of this game is bright, let me guess, um, maybe you will want to sell the game so much, do you want to make a lot of money when the market is good, and you can invest in the stock market in a year, maybe you can double in a year. Ha, congratulations, William, you will become a monetary, but I still hope you will still tell us how much you want to sell the full copyright of the game."
"Sell from 100 million pounds"
"Crash"
Although everyone was mentally prepared, when William said 100 million pounds, everyone in the conference room was still making noise.
Some game agents even shouted loudly: "Are you crazy? Mr. Devin Hill, 100 million pounds, are you crazy about money?"
William ignored the shouts of these people and stared at the person in charge of Besta and said, "I think if Besta makes more than 300 million pounds after spending 100 million pounds, it will definitely agree, and it will even be of great help to your plan next year, right, Mr. Wood."
Wood Morris was shocked by William's eyes and thought to himself: "Does this little guy know something? It's impossible. The board of directors of Besta just agreed to go public next year. How could this guy know?"
But Wood Morris was still shocked by the words suddenly popping out of William's mouth. He looked at William's eyes and felt that his plan was clearly seen by William.
William, who stared at Wood Morris's eyes, knew that he had bet right. Besta has plans to go public now. Original Time and Space will be listed next year.
In this era, Besta really fought all over the United States without any rivals. Nefifa Company was almost acquired by Besta several times, but Besta was too arrogant and the acquisition price was too low. These guys underestimated the development speed of online shopping and did not lack money at all, but it may not be necessary after March this year.
"I still have to report to the company's board of directors about PepsiCo. I can't make the decision now. Mr. Devin Hill, I think I'll do this for today. We'll talk in a few days." Wood felt guilty when William saw it, and he hurriedly changed the topic.
William smiled and looked at Wood Morris and said, "Okay, then let's do it today, gentlemen, we'll see you in 3 days, I'll wait for your good news, Mr. Wood Morris."
After saying that, William said hello to everyone in the conference room, he ignored the game agents who wanted to hold him to set up a game agent today, and took Anthony, senior partner of Yuelida Law Firm, and his team to leave.
William and his 6-member party went directly to the business suite he booked at the Hilton Hotel. This business suite with a daily £600 has an office area of more than 40 square meters.
Anthony looked at the young man who was less than 20 years old sitting in front of him. Read the information. William Devin Hill was born on December 7, 1980, and is only 19 years and 2 months old now. Anthony suddenly had the idea that it would be great if my son was like William Devin Hill in the future.
"Congratulations, Mr. Devin Hill, I think you will be almost the youngest billionaire in England. It's incredible. William, you have successfully refreshed my view of young people in the new century. You are so great, William, congratulations," Anthony exclaimed.
After taking the wine glass that Anthony poured him, William smiled and said, "Thank you, Anthony, I think we have to sign a new contract now. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It will be our battlefield in 3 days. I received the news that Besta has a listing plan. I now need your law firm to cooperate with me, make plans, release news, and attract more potential customers. Many times, things that someone snatches can be sold at a better price."
Anthony nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Devin Hill, the contract for the hour is no longer suitable now. You need our Yuelida Law Firm to provide you with all-round services. We will help you prepare all the things you need."
"OK, this business involves more than 100 million pounds. I think a 1% commission should satisfy your Yuelida Law Firm. No matter how high it is, it is not suitable. And if this business can be completed successfully, I will hire you as my personal lawyer. What do you think, Anthony," William said in his eyes.
Anthony thought about it and thought that 1% was more than 1 million pounds. Although Yuelida Law Firm is one of the best law firms in England, he is not the only partner of Yuelida Law Firm. There are dozens of senior partners in the entire firm, hundreds of general partners, and 1 million pounds of this kind of easy case will not be encountered in their firm a year. Even if there is one, it is not his turn. Moreover, the price of his private lawyer is 300,000 pounds a year. Such a good opportunity is not available every year.
Anthony nodded for a long time: "No problem, Mr. Devin Hill, our firm took this case."
"So happy cooperation Anthony" William stretched out his hand.
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Devin Hill," Anthony held William's hand
William picked up the wine glass and touched the glass with everyone, then drank the Scotch whiskey in the cup in one gulp.
William sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect that I would become a billionaire so soon. With this £100 million, the plan after March this year will be implemented more smoothly."
After William and Anthony signed the contract again, Anthony said: "Mr. Devin Hill, since I am your lawyer now, I need to remind you in one thing."
"you say"
"I think you should let banks and insurance companies get in. With such a large amount of money, you have to let the insurance company ensure the safety of the funds. You should also think about the issue of reasonable tax avoidance, whether to receive funds in England or in other countries."
"Is there any difference between these?" William wondered
"Yes, Mr. Devin Hill, if you want to get the money as soon as possible, then spend some money to get insurance with the insurance company. If the buyer has not paid the money within the contract agreed time, the insurance company will pay you first, and other insurance companies will handle it themselves."
"There is also the collection bank. If you set up your fund account in England, then the money must be taxed. If it is set up in confidential banks or tax-avoiding countries such as Switzerland or the British Virgin Islands, you basically don't have to pay taxes. England cannot do global taxes like the United States."
"It's just that if these funds want to return to England, there will be some difficulties. If you really want to return to England reasonably, the cost will not be lower than the honest corporate income tax. The only benefit of doing this is that your consumption and investment outside England will not have any impact on the future."
"But one of the biggest disadvantages of this method is that once the people learn that you have not paid a penny of your money, your reputation in English society will be greatly affected, and may even be fatal. There are many people who are investigated because of such a thing that you don't pay a penny. Even if you can't do anything to you in the end, it will be very troublesome to delay it for a few years."
"My advice is that you can register a company in the British Virgin Islands and transfer half of your company shares in England to the British Virgin Islands companies, so that your company in England can pay half of the tax."
"In addition, small and medium-sized companies can get a tax refund policy of 1.5 times the R&D cost in product R&D expenses, Mr. Devin Hill, how much money did you spend on game R&D?"
There is such a good thing? William scratched his head and said, "It's really hard to say. I don't seem to cost much except for the meal and electricity bills. Everything is done by myself. The game is designed by me, I programmed and developed by me, and even the images of plants and zombies are designed and drawn."
After hearing William's words, Anthony looked at William as if he saw aliens. He thought that the research and development cost of the game Plants vs. Zombies must be tens of millions of pounds.
Now you tell me that I didn't spend money, see your ghost, Anthony now feels his head hurt.
"Okay, William, I know you are a genius, but I think you can be so genius. I will sort out some other reasonable tax avoidance methods in a few days to report to you."
William looked helplessly at Anthony who looked at him like a monster and said, "Okay, I only have one requirement, that is, everything must be legal."
Anthony nodded and agreed, "Of course Mr. Devin Hill, I promise that everything is reasonable and legal. No one can find these tax avoidance loopholes in law. This is what our law firms do best."
"That's good, by the way, Anthony, I need you to help me pass some data in the conference room to society today. Of course, the final price is not to be mentioned." William whispered to Anthony.
"It's OK. William, as long as you are not afraid of a lot of paparazzi following you when you go out in the future, I'm happy to help you."
William laughed and said, "Haha, I'm probably ready to be surrounded by paparazzi and take photos. Today's matter can't be kept for long."
Anthony said: "William, you're ready for this. I was just thinking about how to unravel you. You are not like a 19-year-old child at all. God bless you, I just hope that the outside world won't know too quickly. We are not ready yet. No one expected that Besta would like to see this game like this. William, do you know some information?"
"Yes, I didn't expect that Besta had really made plans to go public. Everything was too sudden. I wasn't ready yet. Anthony. I think we should do the British Virgin Islands in the afternoon. I always have a premonition that there is not much time left for us." William said worriedly.
