The whole family moved into Beverly Hills in early December, and the old house next to the church will be put up for auction within the company. Some executives have expressed their intention to buy it.

Although the old house is not large, it is located in the center of Los Angeles and is surrounded by a church with excellent greenery. There are many single-family houses in the suburbs, but single-family buildings near the city center are relatively scarce. Some external executives have not yet settled in Los Angeles, but they were tempted when Han Chudong mentioned it.

Han Chudong no longer cared too much about the house, the land, etc. He still liked it very much, but he didn't take it too seriously.

The reason why they targeted St. Barts, also known as the "Swimsuit Island", is mainly because this small island with a total area of ​​about 21 square kilometers has been a paradise for the rich for many years. In recent years, it has become a shopping paradise for the rich with the title of duty-free port.

This small island, which is home to more than 4,000 people all year round, has everything from small roadside stalls under the shade of trees to elegant and high-end shops, full of tropical atmosphere.

The most important point is that opening a company here can avoid taxes, and Han Chudong needs a place to hide his assets.

Occasionally he would calculate how much he would be worth in the future, if everything went smoothly for him. The estimated figure he came up with would be scary even for him, but he did not want to give up such easy benefits.

Therefore, he increasingly did not want to make his wealth public, and began to think about setting up a few new companies, with Mason United Group in the open and other assets in secret, to build a huge business empire together. This required a safe place to house the assets, so as to avoid being blackmailed by a group of vampires like the Mason United Group registered in Puerto Rico.

Of course, Mason United Group can also use this to gain protection. Take the account audit for example, it is like a child's play. The tax amount is calculated based on the number given to the other party, and no one will delve into it, as long as certain people are given enough benefits.

As a result, the tax rate for the whole year is likely to be less than 3% of the total profit, which is much lower than the tax rate of the ordinary middle class. There is a team stationed in Puerto Rico that specializes in helping Han Chudong deal with these chores, and gradually formed a small-scale interest group.

It is safer to put most of the assets in Puerto Rico now, but there is no guarantee that it will always be safe in the future. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. When Han Chudong reaches such a net worth, it is necessary for him to "dig holes" everywhere.

Arriving on the island the day after Christmas, Han Chudong spent two or three days understanding the specific situation. He decisively decided to pay the deposit, and the remaining money would be paid after the handover procedures were completed.

He found it quite amazing that, considering that after purchasing St. Barts, he would get 98% of the land on the island and would have more than 4,000 local people under his control who depended on him for their livelihood, just like a little king.

Most of the restaurants, hotels, shops, etc. on the island belong to Han Chudong. This Christmas, the island welcomed more than 600 tourists, most of whom were from France. This place was originally a French territory, and it cannot make much money from tourists alone. This is probably the main reason why the old French company chose to sell the island.

Thousands of shell companies are registered on St. Barts, but there is not even a real factory on the island. Taxes have nothing to do with Han Chudong. He quickly selected a good location on a cliff by the sea and planned to build a small villa. He also selected a low building from many properties and planned to form a team to help him manage the shell companies.

The entire island is covered with natural tropical jungles. He stayed in the most luxurious hotel there and took Miss Bergman to the beach from time to time.

On the first day of their arrival in St. Barts, the two took advantage of the alcohol and completed their first reproductive activity.

We didn't talk about feelings beforehand, let alone confirm the relationship. After it happened naturally, I often stayed in my room and didn't go out for the next few days.

By the time Han Chudong had a general understanding of St. Barts Island, the New Year had quietly arrived...

The Internet was just getting started and the number of Internet users was pitifully small. Computers were mostly used in military development and scientific research, and some institutions such as banks and exchanges were also the first to use them.

Since computers are too expensive to purchase, it is difficult to apply them on a large scale in various fields. Even most official agencies such as police stations, vehicle management offices, and the Federal Tax Bureau are still using paper for registration.

This allowed Han Chudong to exploit loopholes to pay less taxes and transfer assets to local areas, and also made it difficult to find Davis House.

Of course he wanted revenge and to recover the ransom that was defrauded, instead of arguing with the bank about the ownership of his assets.

Unfortunately, the police had no clues. According to them, when they began to track him, Davis House had already been on the run for six or seven hours, which was enough time for him to escape to Mexico or take a plane to other cities. There are not many so-called "electronic fingerprints" at present, and it is very easy to buy fake passports. Finding someone is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Bearer bonds do not need the permission of an official organization to be traded, so even if someone shows up with a bearer bond with the same serial number, it does not necessarily mean that they are related to Davis House. It may have changed hands several times in the meantime, making it difficult to trace any clues.

The hope is slim, but it is not gone. It is said that someone even tried to kidnap his son recently, intending to use this as a threat to force that guy to hand over all the bearer bonds he had obtained. In the end, he was stopped by the police who were secretly monitoring him.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Comparing the reward of 200,000 US dollars and the 20 million US dollars of black gold, the choice is obvious. As the days passed, Han Chudong gradually lost hope of getting the money back.

He was too lazy to dwell on it any longer. Every time he thought of that guy taking his money and running off to live a carefree life, Han Chudong became furious. He could only secretly hope that the guy had been discovered, tied to stones and sunk into the lake. He would feel much better thinking this way.

Fortunately, since before Thanksgiving, the sales of many products have skyrocketed through price cuts, especially Rainbow Beauty and Baofeng Electric Appliances, which held a trade-in event. The latter achieved retail sales of more than 40 million US dollars in California alone in just one month. Although it did not make much money and even suffered losses, this trade-in promotion model successfully attracted the attention of many investors and played a huge role in increasing its reputation and market share.

The news of Han's father's kidnapping also made Han Chudong and his company famous, to the point that some unscrupulous tabloids suspected that the father and son were putting on a show.
