Chapter 570 (1/2)
Although Zheng Jianguo has not replied to NASA's offer, the vice president has long thought that as a member of Harvard Club, he would not have much problem if he wanted to get the money with his existing financing ability.
The two highway projects reported by Clark alone have reached a scale of US $4 billion. In addition, Zheng Jianguo has invested more than US $1 billion in fixed assets and cruise ships.
This is only within the scope of the United States. It is said that the goods also cost more than 300 million in Britain. This is definitely not the capital of the Republic. The country is poor. The money spent on the goods is splashing. I pity that I have to pay taxes less than one million a year——
pay taxes?
The vice president suddenly realized something. He quickly picked up the phone and dialed a number: ”ask the tax bureau how much tax Zheng Jianguo paid and how much income he got? Let them get the information. ”
Put down the phone, the vice president began to get busy. After all, although Zheng Jianguo has become a leading figure in the major media in the United States and even around the world with the news of his marriage on the moon, work and eating melons are two different things.
Half an hour later, the vice president had more folders in front of him, so that he couldn't help looking at the deputy director of IRS: ”these are Zheng Jianguo's tax declaration and tax payment records?”
The deputy director of the State Administration of Taxation in suits nodded quickly: ”yes, for the whole year of last year, ASA accounting company was responsible for reporting. Its investment income in 1980 was about US $5.3 billion, which was paid according to the capital gains tax, of which the donation was tax-free -”
After the vice president opened the folder in his hand, he quickly browsed it. He had seen the materials including account opening, stock trading and transfer records. He found that the biggest income was to absorb enough oil company stocks at a low price, and then sell them for profit after returning to normal market value. He also understood why Harvard Club regarded him as a treasure.
Everyone wants to have a good relationship with such a friend?
Closing the information in his hand, the vice president looked up at the deputy director of the IRS, threw the document in the next basket and said, ”thank you for coming. I'll give this document to the president.”
The deputy director nodded and buttoned up his suit. Just when he turned to leave, he hesitated and said, ”if you want to confirm whether he has $5 billion to the moon, I don't think it's a big problem for him. I heard that he has made a lot of money in this oil rise -”
Glancing at the other party's ring finger, the vice president looked at the folder in front of him and said, ”I didn't seem to see the project about the oil contract before?”
With his eyebrows in his face, the deputy director replied, ”after paying taxes last year, he turned the money out in the name of investment. I heard that the bubble on the other side of the island was what he did. It was said that he had lost more than 5 billion dollars. I don't know if NASA knew what was the price.”
The brown eyes blinked. The vice president found that he had really wanted to be bad before. If someone said that he would not take it to heart. In front of him, he was the deputy director of the IRS and a member of the Harvard Club. Is this product going to sell well and reveal something to himself?
The idea flashed through his mind. The vice president nodded and said, ”Oh, personally, would you think his trip to the moon was a honeymoon?”
The deputy director shook his head and said, ”personally, if $5 billion is entered into the aerospace field, I believe it can generate 1.5 billion to 1.8 billion in taxes and drive 20 billion in GDP growth at the same time.
According to CBS, Zheng is a man of great hype. When he first came to the United States to face reporters, he promoted a wave of his own research, and he wanted to take Camille to the moon——
As for whether to get married or propose, I feel that when NASA gives an offer, it is no longer important. Whether they go or not has achieved the goal of global attention. ”
The vice president nodded and then said two words to send the people away. Of course, he knew the CBS report on Zheng Jianguo and that the deputy director was implicitly saying that we didn't let him go. In fact, we helped him save the money. They had rubbed the heat of NASA.
However, the vice president also knew that this decision could not be made by himself. Sure enough, when Zheng Jianguo returned to Boston to accept the $5 billion offer to reporters, the president called: ”considering the current situation, you can't agree to the NASA deal.”
Of course, the vice president knew what the current situation was. After staring at the phone and organizing the language in his mind, he gently said, ”I think NASA can study and restart the feasibility investigation of the Apollo program. Anyway, they are now engaged in the space shuttle. In 20 to 30 weeks, or 40 to 50 weeks, the popularity of public attention has decreased, so we can act according to our circumstances. ”
”Then do as you ask.”
When the voice on the phone came clearly, the vice president knew that the hat should be worn by himself. Immediately after hanging up the phone, he called NASA Robert. After arranging, he found that the TV station broadcast that night: ”in order to earn Zheng's 5 billion dollars, NASA announced that it had conducted a feasibility investigation on the restart of the Apollo program, It is expected to last about 20 weeks -- ”
When the vice president looked at the report, Zheng Jianguo, who had recovered his status as a student at Harvard Medical School in Boston, heard the news from Andy only after the bell rang after class. Of course, this was also in his expectation: ”didn't you say to pay a deposit in advance?”
His eyes swept over the boastful arc of Lily Harvey beside Zheng Jianguo. Andy nodded and said, ”no, Mr. John didn't mention anything about money on his phone.”
Hearing that he didn't ask for money, Zheng Jianguo felt that NASA was also a kind person and didn't ask for money in advance to pay for restarting the feasibility investigation.
Of course, Zheng Jianguo also knows that behind this statement, it is likely that NASA has no intention to start the investigation at all. Therefore, since it has no intention to start, it will not involve relevant costs. Without costs, it will not be necessary for him to pay.
But whether it was started or not, Zheng Jianguo did not lose. It seemed impulsive for him to agree to Camille's request at that time. However, after considering this period of time, he felt that he would not lose anyway.
For Camille, Zheng Jianguo has fulfilled her wish. Now it's not his regret that he can't go, but NASA doesn't agree.
As for Zheng Jianguo, he wanted to go to the moon and become the first person to land on the moon in the Republic and the first person to marry on the moon in the world. This alone is enough to go down in history.
But in addition, Zheng Jianguo also wants to see if the Apollo program is a huge lie according to conspiracy theory.
In his last life, Zheng Jianguo never dreamed that he could have anything to do with the Apollo program. His memory has no memory of the program at all. The most is that he often talked about the American landing on the moon, or in the most difficult era.
