Chapter 355 Huge Taxes
The maiden voyage of the luxury cruise ship ended with a perfect performance.
According to the subsequent investigation, the eight-day cruise on the sea was a bit short, and most people could not experience all the projects. The time schedule was very compact and there were few places to visit for the second time. So Anfeng and the company management decided to switch it with sapphire after considering it.
That is, the Queen takes the 15-day ocean route in the Western Caribbean, heads south to St. Kitts Island, and enjoys the company's transformation of private resort, and then takes the route around Haiti to return. The time is plenty of time, so tourists can experience the details of the luxury cruise ship in detail.
After the Spring Festival, Anfeng will continue to work other things.
Although the changes in the probability equation of the doomsday in his head were subtle, An Feng also suspected that these things only happened dozens or hundreds of years later, but now the arrow is on the string and the plan has been implemented, he can only do it well. He completed and rested early, so he participated in the research and development of robots.
After An's Industry spent $50 million to build a three-dimensional printer, the core mechanical components did not need to be ordered from other companies. As long as the graphics are constructed, the materials used, the strength, toughness or quality of the finished product, the computer calculates the possibility of their composition and then comes up with a solution.
Enter the fine-tuning results of the scheme into the printer program and start working with raw material powder ordered from the outside world. The printer has more than 200 printing nozzles of different purposes. In terms of sintering metal, in addition to plasma technology, there is also a more accurate laser beam.
It can make tiny objects at the nano level and also build a huge car - as long as there is sufficient material, it can put imagination into reality. The research and development of robots saves a lot of time, and finally produces results under Anfeng's money-burning model.
Hoffman called him to the lab and participated in the formal test.
The one in front of An Feng is a silver machine skeleton that simulates the human body, about 1.7 meters high. The body is full of dense lines, the energy core is located inside and the internal and external skeletons are used. It is a great simulation, but it is not as good as the masked skin, which changes from the appearance.
"The robot allows the computer to be remotely controlled. It can accurately follow the prepared programs," Hoffman said.
"Where is the degree of flexibility?" An Feng is more concerned about these things, and the stiff robot is definitely not within the selection range.
"Excellent!" Hoffman was confident, "We can make it perform."
Hoffman pressed the tablet controlled by him a few more times and selected the entry. Because there is no intelligence at present, no matter how powerful or flexible the robot is, it must rely on the program to operate honestly. After the command is issued, the robot will walk in front of them in a very natural way and show its freedom to walk.
"We can look here!" Hoffman pointed to a screen next to him, which shot the robot's movements and simulated them with normal people. "Its movement and agility are 85% similar to that of real people. It is not absolutely the same, but within the scope of normal people."
"The problem of obstacles?" An Feng asked.
"It can automatically determine, just like this-" Hoffman suddenly pushed a chair in front of the robot. It took a detour without hesitation and avoided the chair. Following several technicians coming towards him, it actually used the sideways to avoid it.
It is hard to imagine that according to the robot's philosophy, it should choose an idle area to pass through. But under the attack of several people, it chooses to continue walking in a straight line. But when it is about to collide with the human body, it cleverly opens its body and lets it go over and continues to walk to the end.
"Is this instant control?" An Feng asked.
"No, it's a stored program, the best route for computers to determine themselves," Hoffman said.
"Very good!" An Feng needs this flexibility - it works well whether it is used in human form or other luggage. For example, excavation robots can easily choose the best solution to avoid when they encounter obstacles or accidents occur.
"But this method requires a high level of processor requirements. As long as it exceeds the coverage of a supercomputer network, it cannot perform cloud computing. If a highly intelligent processor can be developed, it may be installed on it alone," Hoffman said.
An Feng is optimistic: "Independent intelligence is difficult, and cloud networks are the easiest to implement. In fact, you can think of it this way. As long as there is a dedicated network, even if the robot is located in Europe, it can control it through the network - so that the supercomputer can come in handy."
"You're right." Hoffman was inspired, "we can improve the receiver and keep it stable to connect to the cloud network."
Hoffman didn't care about An Feng anymore and ran to work on his own, leaving him and other technicians to continue testing the robot. Its flexibility is not only reflected in its legs, but also the flexibility of the ten fingers on both hands is similar to that of real people. There is no difference between shaking hands with it with closed eyes and shaking hands with it.
The final conclusion is that as long as you put on a layer of bionic skin, it is not much different from a real person. You will definitely see the difference when you get along for a long time, but after a few minutes of accidental coexistence, no one can see the true thoughts in the skin. According to An Feng's requirements, if you improve one step further, it will be qualified.
As for force, you don’t have to consider it. The two modes of exoskeleton plus endoskeleton, and the sturdy and durable titanium alloy skeleton are generally not required to think about it. Even soldiers wearing exoskeletons can’t stand the robots simply by force and fighting. After streamlining the line, it can adapt to harsh environments.
...
The research and development of robots has made good progress.
Other R&Ds of An's Industry continue, superconductors are still challenging their peaks, and room-temperature superconductors are the ultimate dream pursued by An's, but the money-making plan of superconductors cannot stagnate. High-temperature superconductors have already shocked the world. Superconductor companies are currently developing mass production technologies according to the plan.
Anfeng left a $100 million R&D fund for R&D in other fields, such as special materials, electric machinery industry, nuclear industry, etc., and strives to achieve a state of prosperity. The only thing to consider is the money issue, and R&D must be burned.
Fortunately, all fields are developing smoothly and he has made a lot of money.
Now it is February. At the beginning of the New Year, the profits of several industries under Anfeng have been counted. After returning from the Caribbean vacation, the private team started to organize reports. The method is very high-end, with the holographic projection technology that has become popular in the United States, showing it realistically.
An Feng stayed at home. John and Franklin were able to communicate with him face to face.
They report all the profit sources Anfeng has been able to obtain this year, combining financial statements and graphs.
First of all, the revenue of GP companies. GP Energy, which holds 65% of GP Energy, has achieved its goal of revenue exceeding US$20 billion this year - it is already very outstanding when the electric vehicle field has not yet exploded. After major manufacturers release electric models this year, the turnover may increase multiple times next year.
GP Electronics has also made efforts this time, with revenue reaching 6 billion. Among them, the "Aris" supercomputers have brought them many orders, which alone accounts for 20% of the share. Other small computers, servers or microprocessor chips that have been distributed are also profitable.
Both subsidiaries are very profitable, with a net profit margin of more than 30%. After deducting provident fund and other development plans, they are transferred to GP companies and then calculated a layer of tax. The cost of expanding operations this year is deducted. In the end, Anfeng can allocate 2 billion US dollars, and the part that belongs to the individual must be calculated as tax.
The second is the research center. After this batch of pharmaceutical patents were transferred one after another, US$1.5 billion occurred in the United States, and 4 billion were traded through overseas accounts. That is to say, 1.5 billion would have to be considered normal tax. That 4 billion is not considered tax, but it is not Anfeng, but from three offshore companies.
As An Feng's money became more and more. After John considered it, he set up two offshore companies for him. He controlled the shares through complex cross-over methods, and when it comes to opening an account, there were Swiss people dealing with it. The whole link was seamless, and there was no legal constraint in this regard and it was difficult to manage it.
Then there is the pharmaceutical industry.
The monopoly ability of anti-cancer drugs is not limited. Although Xin's Pharmaceuticals is a newbie in the market, it cannot withstand its background and connections. In an accounting year, its turnover directly soared by US$30 billion. Most of them were purchased in batches by authorized dealers.
The cost of anti-cancer drugs is not high, so they are very profitable. The profits that can be distributed after deducting taxes and fees are still 8 billion US dollars. Anfeng occupies 45% of the shares, but in fact he has 60% of the profit dividends because he has 70% of the shares of the research center and directly enjoys 4.8 billion US dollars of dividends.
However, considering the development of pharmaceutical companies, funds are very needed at present. It takes more than one billion to develop the market. In the end, only 6 billion is distributed. Anfeng has US$3.6 billion, of which 2 billion will inevitably be paid through personal accounts, and the remaining 1.6 billion is paid to offshore companies.
Next, although Bida Company's operating conditions are very good, with a high-end product turnover of 1.5 billion yuan, its profits are not distributed and will continue to be used for the company's development. After the agreement is signed this year, it can also bring more than one billion yuan of funds to the company, and perhaps it will be able to distribute dividends next year.
Meisheng's 14% share brought 1.5 billion revenue, which is nearly four times more than last year. The reason is that Meisheng's expansion has stabilized. Its revenue reached US$75 billion last year, becoming a veritable world agricultural giant with a net profit margin of 15%, and good returns.
In addition, Meisheng also needs to pay Anfeng 2 billion in June.
Finally, it is HG company. Weight loss pills are now popular in some countries in North America and Western Europe. The dividend of 25% also brings 500 million yuan, which is also a normal way and is very generous. They are currently planning to buy out Anfeng's dividend ratio at one time, and the plan and amount are being discussed.
After listening to the report, An Feng asked, "All the data is finished?"
John nodded: "It has been listed all of them. The amount of other projects has not exceeded 10 million. Here we use llion (billion) as the unit."
The data is terrifying, An Feng can't remember: "Can you give a summary?"
John smiled slightly, and he also prepared the manuscript: "Sir, you received $15.1 billion this year, $8.76 billion through your personal account, and $6.34 billion to your offshore account. According to the new tax law just promulgated, your personal tax this year is $3 billion, and the minimum can be controlled at 1.25 billion."
Chapter completed!
