In the evening, the black lengthened Cadillac car stops slowly in the 20th Century Fox Studio Park. The car style is a little weird. The front streamlined ordinary car style has a longer body in the middle and a square shape at the rear, giving a break. Gecko feeling off the tail. The driver got out of the car and opened the door. Elizabeth, who was standing outside the office building and explaining to the assistant, realized that this was the Eric's car. He walked over quickly and got into the car.

The driver outside closed the door, and the Elizabeth only said: "How come you suddenly drive such a car, it looks so ugly?"

Eric pressed one of the materials in his hand on his knee and said: "The girl bought it and said it was my birthday gift. You have to take a courtesy car to attend the premiere. I can only drive this one."

The car started slowly, and Elizabeth froze in a daze, saying, "Is your birthday this month?"

Eric shakes his head: "No."

Elizabeth said: "What birthday gift did she give?"

Eric shrugged: "How do I know that, according to the frequency of girls giving me birthday gifts, I should be 280 years old now."

Elizabeth chuckled and despised: "It's all your favorite, all day crazy, the aesthetic is still so bad, such an ugly car must be bought."

Eric laughed: "Do n’t look ugly, it ’s expensive. It is said that Cadillac is the next-generation President car designed specifically for the White House, and Clinton has n’t even gotten on it."

"Anyway, it's ugly," Elizabeth still has a smile on his face. He notices the information in the hands of Eric and glances at it curiously. "What is this, um, Ford Foundation?"

Eric handed over the information in his hand and said, "I have been reading some family foundation information recently."

Elizabeth took over the information from Eric and turned a few pages, with a ridiculous smile at the corner of his mouth, said: "So, do you also want to start playing consider as finished for the future?"

"Yeah," Eric leaned on the back of the chair, tilting his legs, and said: "Suddenly found out recently that some things still have to be done. I used to resist the so-called foundation, but now I feel that this is really The best way to pass on a family. "

After reading a series of materials in recent days, Eric found that these family foundations in the West, whether in terms of asset size or operation mode, are contrary to their original imagination.

Like the Ford foundation, when it was first established, the registered capital of the Ford foundation was only 25000USD. Even if Henry Ford died later, all the heritage was injected into the foundation, and the asset scale did not exceed 2billion USD, but now, the Ford foundation ’s The asset scale has reached 9billion USD.

If you do not calculate the inflation factor, the assets of the Ford family have been rising all the time, and the family inheritance model of the foundation can also avoid the inheritance tax problems that future generations continue to face to the greatest extent.

What is even more surprising is that even after 100 years, with the Ford foundation holding only 2% of the shares of the Ford group, under the rules of the dual shareholding structure, the Ford family still controls the world ’s largest car group .

Besides the Ford family, whether it ’s the Carnegie Foundation or the Rockefeller Foundation, the number of assets they control now also exceeds the legacy left by their ancestors. The number of assets in 1 billion, although unable to Squeezing them into the Forbes rich list is enough for them to maintain the glory and social status of their ancestors.

As for the control right that Eric was most concerned about, this is not a problem.

All family foundations that Eric has seen have almost complete control over the founding family. Although it appears to be a non-profit charitable foundation, it needs to donate a certain amount of assets every year. But the operation mode of these donations is even more interesting.

Assuming that a foundation must donate 100 million USD every year, it seems that the foundation is bleeding unconditionally, but in fact, how to spend this money is still the family that controls the foundation.

Whether it is the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, or the Rockefeller Foundation, the so-called establishment purpose is to promote the development of the entire social education, technology, medical and other industries. This is actually equivalent to no promises, so also Gives the foundation a very broad operating space

For example, if the family business wants to obtain more favorable policy conditions from the government, then they can make a sum of money from the family foundation and sponsor the voting members to conduct some investigation projects that are 'beneficial for the technology industry' , Go to Hawaii, Bahamas or something. Moreover, no one can accuse the Foundation of violating the rules, because others are not for profit, and this practice is fully in compliance with federal law. Another example is that the children of the family are not very upset, and they ca n’t get into Harvard Yale with their own skills. This is even simpler. Take a sum of money from the foundation and donate to these schools to promote ‘the development of the social education industry’. By the way, the children at home should go to college, do you want it or not?

Moreover, these are just comparisons of the sounding operation methods. As for the various operations in private, it is even more varied.

All in all, the so-called public welfare foundation, who should be, or who, but if you give the money to the IRS, it has nothing to do with you.

The most important thing is that adopting the foundation model for family wealth inheritance can maximize the cohesion of the entire family. In order to enjoy the support of the family foundation for a longer period of time, as long as the descendants of the family are slightly more upset, they will involuntarily To make efforts to promote the development of the foundation, this is also the most fundamental reason why the families of Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford can inherit for centuries. But if the traditional property inheritance model is adopted, even if the second generation can still be united, the third and fourth generations, because of different abilities, because of uneven distribution, or various other reasons, one day, the whole family will Completely fall apart.

In the car, Elizabeth heard the words of Eric, but his face showed a narrow expression and a faint grudge: "So, Mr. Williams, did you think about these things when you considered these things, where is your family?"

Eric embarrassedly dismissed cough and shifted the topic: "Well, what is your family going to do?"

Elizabeth whispered, but still said: "I plan to use a trust fund for Papa."

Eric thought for a while and said, "This, should I still have to pay taxes at that time?"

Elizabeth nodded: "Yeah, but the tax rate should be able to be controlled at about 15%. When the time comes, the News Corp will make a little bit of money. If you do n’t need to sell stocks at home, you can probably pay the tax. Our family is not as big as you. Say. Up, your personal assets are so huge, the IRS will definitely stare at you. If you want to pass on assets smoothly without paying taxes like other families, it is definitely not an easy task. "

Eric said easily: "In the end, the IRS is still controlled by humans, as long as it is not a machine, it is easy to handle."

So chatting, the car quickly reached Hollywood Santa Monica Street.

Today is the premiere of "The Horse Whisperer" produced by Miramax. The film's release date is November 6th, which is The Day After Tomorrow.

As Miramax ’s largest investment film to date, Weinstein Brothers also attaches great importance to this project. However, choosing the November 6th schedule, in addition to the usual Weinstein Brothers movie distribution operation method, is also a helpless move.

"Starting next week, there will be an average of two new movies every week, and there are super blockbusters like" Mission: Impossible3 "and" Star Wars Episode 1 ". Harvey can only choose this period. Although there are risks, this "It's the most insurance distribution mode," Elizabeth explained. "Speaking of this, it's two movies on the Columbia side. The selected schedule can be really interesting." The Faculty "was placed on November 13, and 《Ted》 and" Star Trek: The Uprising is crowded together, Julia's "Stepmom" follows "Star Wars Episode 1", I can imagine a tank rolling over a bicycle. "

Eric reluctantly said: "This is no way. When I got the Columbia, the schedule was already set. Moreover, the cost of these two films was more annoying." The Faculty "cost 30 million," Stepmom "It took 50 million. In my opinion, the cost of these two films can be halved. I now want to pull Julia over and let her refund half of the film fee. 20 million, grab money. "

"Her The Day After Tomorrow will probably be able to come back from Paris. When she comes back from Paris, just press and hold and beat her,"

"That would be too cheap for her," Eric said, pinching the finger knuckles and said: "At least two fights are required."

"Oh," Elizabeth laughed, remembered something, and asked again: "When are you going to London?"

The fifth session of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will be held soon. In order to promote the Victoria’s Secret brand in Europe, this year ’s big show was chosen to be held in London. Because it is a more important session, Eric will also attend.

"No. 10" Eric said: "The big show will be held on the 12th. I will rush over two days in advance, and I have to come back early. After all, there are so many things here."

"Hum," Elizabeth snorted suddenly, and said, "It ’s strange that you want to come back soon, Jealous-Daddy, so many beautiful daughters."

Eric smiled and reached up to hold Elizabeth ’s chin together and kissed, said: "If you go with me, I will let them call you Jealous-Mommy."

Elizabeth opens the stranger of Eric: "Ah!"

The car came to a theater on Santa Monica Street, and the premiere of "The Horse Whisperer" was selected in a flagship theater under the North America first theater line REGR.

At this time, the front of the theater is full of reporters and fans on both sides of red carpet. It may be that some heavyweight guests are walking on red carpet. Before they get off, they can hear bursts of cheers.

Under the guidance of the staff, Cadillac car paused for a moment before driving to the end of red carpet. Eric first got off the car, turned to the other side to hold Elizabeth, and the two went to red carpet together.

Compared with the stars of the Chinese costumes and accessories, both of them seem to be very casual. Eric is a daily black suit, and Elizabeth is just a water blue tunic, but the two set foot on red carpet caused more sensation than any other guests present.

Because the topic of Eric is going up and down during this time, not only the fans of cheers are constantly on, but the reporters on both sides of red carpet are excited, pressing the shutter madly and asking questions to the two loudly, if not red carpet two The security of the side tried to maintain, and the reporters even broke the protective barrier and rushed to the two.

Eric and Elizabeth walked slowly through red carpet without any interference and into the theater.

In recent years, Eric has consciously brought its different women to the public. This continues. Although it has never been explained to the outside world, many people have slowly accepted the fact that he has several girlfriends.

This is actually what Eric wants to achieve.

Weinstein Brothers has accumulated a strong network of contacts over the years. When I came to the theater lobby, I was crowded with guests from all over the world. Everyone was chatting in groups, seeing the appearance of Eric and Elizabeth. Go around.

Everyone greeted for a while, Elizabeth was pulled to the side by Harvey Weinstein to discuss something, Eric and "The Horse Whisperer" Director Robert. Redford chatted for a while, just about to go to Elizabeth, a blonde girl wearing a white dress came over : "Mr. Williams, I'm so happy to see you again, do you remember me?"

"Of course," Eric nodded with a smile: "You are the child of Kerr, named Scarlett. Johnson, right? You are so beautiful today."

"Thank you," Scarlett shyly said, "Mr. Williams, I would also like to thank you for helping me get this role."

Eric shook his head: "This is not necessary, in fact, I did not help, or your own results have been recognized by Harvey."

Scarlett finally found an opportunity to come forward and say a few words to Eric. She did n’t want to just be so unnutritiously polite, but what she just wanted to continue, Elizabeth and Harvey went to Eric Over here, Scarlett had to give up the topic she had just thought of, politely greeted the two of Harvey, and walked away with some loss.

"Potential little guy," looking at Scarlett's figure walking away, Harvey praised, and said: "Eric, let's go in, it will start soon."

Eric nodded, feeling that Elizabeth was naturally holding his arm, but there was a pain in his arm, helplessly said: "I didn't do anything, just for the little girl."

Elizabeth glared contemptuously at Eric: "You obviously like little girls."

"You are defamatory."

"How to say Drew?"

"Okay, I will surrender."
