"Brother Gu, I know your family is rich, but I didn't expect you to be so rich that you need to set up a charitable foundation to avoid taxes."
Looking at the words "Charitable Foundation" on paper , Uncle Alai was very surprised.
Southeast Asia is not like developed countries where the rule of law is more procedural.
The tax avoidance methods used by the rich here are actually quite crude. Most of them are through various methods of bribing government officials. Direct tax evasion.
If you go north to east in the chaotic areas, most of the large enterprises or mining companies are controlled by the private families of the big warlords.
It is a complete joke to talk about paying taxes.
Generally, only Chen Shenglin, the international big boss of Eve, will set up his own private charity fund.
There was actually no irony in the gatekeeper's words.
No matter how much benefit people want to get from the charity foundation, at least Alai can see that the donation from this middle school student to the orphanage is genuine money.
The changes brought about are real, and this is enough.
The children in the orphanage and the headmistress all regarded him as a little Bodhisattva.
Alai has seen a lot over the years, those small bosses who stuff large quantities of junk goods that cannot be sold in factories into orphanages specifically to defraud government subsidies. It is already much better.
“It’s not my parents’ money. Our family is just an ordinary person who opened a small gallery in Yangon. These are all the money I earned from selling my paintings. The money for the renovation of the orphanage now comes from this. . I plan to donate at least US$10,000 to the foundation account every month in the future.”
The Little Prince project team has notified Gu Weijing of the approval of the competition and the new contract.
Excluding the collection of peripheral illustrations, Mr. Sloth secured a 72% gross profit share of sales from the Schostic Group in the final contract.
It is estimated that the publisher is trying to show goodwill to the detective cat lady for long-term cooperation.
The 72% share may sound like less than one-tenth, but it is actually quite generous, nearly double the 4% share rate common among illustrators in the industry.
Excluding the operating costs of physical stores, books are an industry with extremely exaggerated gross profit margins.
To put it simply, for every copy of Little Prince sold, Gu Weijing will have a few more pounds in his account.
As long as he can sell several thousand books every month, Gu Weijing will have tens of thousands of dollars more in his account. For every day of sales, the little prince will get one day's money. .
It is almost a die-hard crop that can guarantee a harvest regardless of drought or flood.
It has been almost 20 years since the last Harry Potter book was published by JK Rowling, the former head author of the Schostic Group.
The share of series sales received every year is still an astronomical figure, higher than the annual income of the entire British royal family.
The single best-selling author is almost the most classic image of a laid-back, elegant and diamond king in modern British and American urban love dramas. Even busy suit lawyers or corporate gold collars are not as popular as them.
Compared with the super best-selling cash cow writers of the Schostic Group who start from five million or even ten million U.S. dollars for each book they publish just for signing and writing, the publishing house gives Gu Weijing The reward is not worth mentioning at all.
Gu Weijing said it in an understatement, but Uncle Alai was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
Ten thousand dollars a month is 120,000 dollars a year.
Converted to the most commonly used local denomination of 100 kyats, it is several million, enough to fill the main hall of the orphanage like a sea.
This income is already the income of elite programmers in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In Yangon, a third-world city with low consumption, one can barely be considered a member of the rich.
The janitor has also seen real big money, but how could this kid earn so much money at such a young age.
"Selling paintings"
"No forgery, no deception, just selling your own paintings. There is no more pure money than this." Gu Weijing did not Too many explanations, but stared at Uncle Alai with a somewhat suspicious look, "Don't you believe it?"
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't believe anything."
Uncle Alai was silent for a long time. He glanced at the pen sketch on the table for a long time before he raised his head and looked directly at Gu Weijing and pursed his lips.
"After seeing this pen drawing and the previous story about Boss Chen, I am willing to believe half of it. In addition, you have always left a good impression on me, so I am willing to believe 80%."
"Such a donation without asking for anything in return is really just because I want to do good deeds."
He frowned, trying to see that under the young face of the other party, he was a thoroughgoing person. Fool, or is there really someone in this world who is the Holy Mother of Hell and has a compassionate heart.
“I am a very pure person. Being able to change the lives of the children here makes me feel very happy and satisfied. This is the most meaningful way of spending money I can think of. "
Gu Weijing asked Uncle Alai to look at the draft charter of the "Jasmine" Foundation.
"You see, all account funds stipulated above will currently be used 100% for the life, schooling and medical care of drug orphans."
Private charities have been established in various countries The legal provisions of foundations are different, but the nature is actually similar.
In addition to the need for judicial registration, the foundation charter also needs to be set up to stipulate the expenditure of account funds and the disclosure of uses.
Similar to reasonable tax avoidance, foundation charters are also a disaster area used by wealthy people to take advantage of legal loopholes.
Supporting poor students to go to school is charity. Study how to raise whale sharks in villas, or build a safari park in Kenya. In a world where predators are "overrun""In the summer of "Going hunting in a private helicopter is also charity.
If it's a little too much, maybe the private helicopter is paid for with a charity fund account.
Gu The day I asked the Dyson consultant from Schonbrunn to help set up a foundation named after little girl Jasmine, I never thought of taking advantage of this loophole.
It is easy to bully the world. It’s difficult for him.
He is not willing to cheat, and the system will not cheat.
Anyway, a small-scale private charity like his does not even need to hire managers.
p>Of course, 100% of the current expenses are for real charity investment.
"You are a painter, you really need a cripple like me to work for you." Uncle Alai was the first. His tone softened.
For someone like him who has experienced a collapse in his outlook on life, it is hard to believe that there are such pure good people in the world, but this middle school student confessed everything. It was placed openly in front of him.
Uncle Alai's heart was filled with despair.
He thought of his "Abba". The teacher who changed the fate of many drug orphans throughout his life
The janitor’s fingers unconsciously exerted a little force, and the fingertips of the aluminum water tank slowly turned white, and the hard metal kettle was squeaking. The squeaky voice slowly changed shape, but Uncle Alai seemed unaware.
“Please don’t lie to me, really don’t lie to me. I'm so disillusioned with this world. "
The giant gatekeeper stared into Gu Weijing's eyes, his tone was slow and solemn.
"If you are a liar with ulterior motives, then the last So that you can ensure that you can deceive people for a lifetime. Otherwise, no matter what you want from me, I will get it back ten times a hundred times. "
"Besides, if I really become your assistant, I won't do any bad things for you. Kid, don't even think about using me as a thug. ”
The gatekeeper warned, “I’ll find out you made your money laundering money for drug lords.” Even if Jasmine likes you again, I will be the first to break your neck. It's still too late to regret and turn away now. "
"Okay, you are welcome to supervise, Uncle Alai. "
Gu Weijing smiled and nodded.
"I don't need you to be my thug, I just need you to protect me. After all, uncle, you also know that there are so many bad people here. If the good people don't help the good people, then it will be too difficult to live in the world. ”
Gu Weijing said goodbye to the janitor and asked him to help him replace the security door, install a fingerprint lock and a safe in his studio in the Lucky Orphanage during this period.
In On the way home,
he had time to check the rewards waiting to be collected in the system panel.
The painting experience of Lang Shining, a famous court painter in the Eastern Xia. Gu Weijing, who also came from a family of court painters in the Qing Dynasty, was looking forward to it very much.
His great-great-grandfather.He also worked at the Art Academy in the Forbidden City, but he was just a third-class minor painter with a monthly salary of seven taels of silver.
If the emperor really appreciated it, it would not have been thrown into Burma.
Compared with Lang Shining, one of the most famous court painters in the entire Qing court and possibly the entire Eastern Xia history, who lived through the three dynasties of Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties and had official ranks. Nothing really.
The reason why Castiglione has such a reputation,
may not all be because of the foreign monks who like to chant sutras.
The collision between different artistic styles can often produce dazzling effects like nuclear fusion.
Throughout the ages, cultural integration has been the most important part of art.
No matter how far away the span of space and time is, there are still oceans of snow-capped mountains, wars or plagues between empires.
From the moment the two civilizations began to meet, cultural integration began to occur.
Humanity has never been an island.
The integration of fine arts takes longer and is much more tenacious than ordinary people imagine.
Archaeologists can see the gradual transformation and integration of elements of foreign styles such as Central Asia and Arabia into the murals in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.
At that time, the construction of the 100-meter-high Khufu Pyramid had not yet begun, and the last mammoth in the world was still wandering slowly on the snowy field.
People can also see the shadow of Hellenism in the Gandhara Buddhist art that was born on the banks of the Indus River.
We can imagine from the unearthed fragments of silk silk along the Danube River, the heart of Europe, thousands of years ago that the European lords at that time also looked towards the distant Maritime Silk Road. Looking to the Far East, you can catch a glimpse of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
The symphony musician Debussy was inspired by Katsushika Hokusai’s ukiyo-e masterpiece The Great Wave off Kanagawa during the Edo period and created the immortal musical masterpiece The Sea. When this symphony set off a frenzy in Paris At that time, Debussy piously used "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" as the cover of the movement to express his respect for the oriental painters.
War can destroy lives, but it is difficult to destroy civilization.
Twenty-five hundred years ago, the arrogant Alexander the Great marched eastward with his thousands of troops.
Legend has it that this great commander in the history of world military affairs decided to permanently wipe his enemies from the world, both physically and culturally.
He ordered the soldiers to burn the farmland, sow salt and thorn seeds in the burned soil, and then take away all the men, women, children and livestock.
The astrologer told Alexander, "In this way there will no longer be the laughter of life, art and poetry, only beasts and grass."
The glorious Greece perished, and the brave Persian Empire failed.
However, their culture still survived tenaciously. In the flames of war, Greek, Persian, and Eastern cultures, cultures from different countries were like immortal vines, intertwined and integrated with each other., growing tenaciously among salt and thorns.
Early cultural integration often occurred slowly accompanied by war and trade.
After the seventeenth century.
As cultural exchanges accelerate, talented artists begin to take the initiative to integrate Eastern culture and Western culture.
Most of these art masters have created achievements that astonish the world.
Lang Shining is one of the representatives.
Gu Weijing looked at the summary of the essence of the new body painting in the system panel, took a deep breath, and clicked to receive it.

Master profile Castiglione, formerly known as Giuseppe Gastilione, a native of Milan, Italy, a court painter, one of the top ten painters of the Qing Dynasty one.
Lang Shining was good at painting horses, portraits, flowers and animals, and pioneered the art genre of "New Body Painting". The style emphasizes the integration of Western painting techniques with traditional Chinese brush and ink. It was favored by the emperor and greatly influenced the court painting and aesthetic taste of the Qing Dynasty after Kangxi.
Remarks: The beauty of the West and the charm of the East, when combined, are my world.
In an instant, Gu Weijing felt a picture of a palace wearing complicated and majestic ancient costumes slowly unfolding in his mind.
After Cao Lao instructed him to study Castiglione's new body painting art style, Gu Weijing viewed many albums of this artist's paintings.
Whether it is a famous painting collected in the Palace Museum, or a work overseas in the collection of Guimet Museum in Paris or Waseda University in Japan, there are electronic albums on the official website.
Gu Weijing is actually no stranger to Lang Shining’s new body painting style.
A large amount of information can flow into the heart, and the picture in the mind slowly unfolds, and even the strokes of the hair-thick outline brush are clearly revealed.
At that moment,
he still felt the shock of the Qing royal family when they saw such an innovative artistic style.
The fusion artistic style can easily penetrate the cultural barriers between the East and the West, and has received equal praise on both sides of the ocean.
Renoir once worked as an apprentice in an Oriental porcelain shop. Monet loved Eastern culture throughout his life, compared with these artists who were more inclined to Western thinking.
Although Castiglione was an Italian, this artist who accompanied the Eastern monarchs for half a century was more like an Oriental, and his artistic ideas and painting ideas were also more Oriental. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
