Financial investment and physical investment are two different things.

Financial investment is the purest financial game, stocks, funds, including contracts for gambling, it can actually be regarded as a kind of gambling.

I bet that it will go up tomorrow, and I will buy this financial product today.

I bet that it will fall tomorrow, so I will short this financial product.

In fact, pure financial investment does not have much benefit to the real economy. On the contrary, it will completely disrupt the market order because of the excessive activity of financial investment.

But physical investment is another matter.

What is physical investment?

The simplest example, building a factory is a physical investment, and investment, production and construction with specific tangible assets are all physical investments.

To build a factory, workers are needed to build it, and after it is built, workers are also needed to produce it.

The raw materials needed for production need to be purchased from the society, and the products produced will also be sold to the market.

What physical investment brings is to broaden the social living environment, which cannot be brought by financial investment.

Financial investment only needs a few traders to complete a series of buying and selling activities that may involve hundreds of thousands or millions.

The flow of funds does not produce more valuable benefits to society.

Physical investment can drive the market activity in the upstream and downstream of the industry, provide more jobs for the society, and stabilize a certain economic level.

People from the Financial Management Commission and the Security Committee have always considered how to prevent these international hot money from causing damage to the federal finance when they leave. They did not consider that the money can actually bring more benefits!

The chairman of the Financial Management Committee came with some interest, "Mr. Lynch, please explain in detail."

"My thoughts may not be mature, please forgive me if there is something inappropriate."

"First of all, I think we should relax the standards for foreign capital to enter the real industry, and at the same time provide certain policy incentives for the listing of foreign capital in the real industry."

"On the one hand, there is stronger control of the financial market, and on the other hand, a more relaxed economic environment, coupled with necessary guidance and policy tilts, as long as the money lands, they will not be able to leave!"

In fact, to put it bluntly, this set is to encourage investment attraction and promote the landing of funds.

Of course, this is just a general direction, a relatively idealized idea from the current point of view.

If a large amount of international hot money is really introduced into the Federation for physical investment, the first to be impacted will definitely be the capitalists of the Federation.

There are more predators in the market, and the competition is more intense.

And some relatively traditional and closed monopoly profiteering industries, it is difficult for these foreign capitals to enter, such as military industry.

The federal government and the military will not allow foreign capital to lead the design and production of federal standard weapons. Who knows if there are any hostile forces behind these funds?

So this is just an idea. What Lynch talked about is very broad and not so detailed. This kind of content requires a higher-level decision, which cannot be determined by the FSC and the Safety Committee.

After talking about this, Lynch added another idea, which is to add a new tax—

departure tax.

All incoming funds must be declared at present, and an application must be made in advance when leaving the port. This is a new federal law promoted after the outbreak of the last Great Depression.

The purpose is to prevent these international hot money from suddenly withdrawing together, but this is not enough.

These people are really determined to leave, even if they are asked to declare in advance, they will not stay.

Instead of this, it is better to put the content discussed by the FSC and the Security Committee first, and add a departure tax.

If you want to leave, it's not impossible.

The departure tax will be levied while the outbound funds will increase proportionally to the inbound funds.

Assuming that one million yuan enters Hong Kong and one million yuan leaves Hong Kong, then the departure tax may only be 3%, 5%, or a very small part.

But if there are 2 million, 3 million, 5 million or even 10 million leaving Hong Kong, the departure tax rate will rise rapidly.

Maybe 10 million funds will leave Hong Kong, and 50% of the departure tax will be levied!

This part of the tax is only aimed at the income generated by financial investment. If it is an investment in industry, it can be relatively exempted and reduced.

This idea is honestly a bit wicked and a bit unreasonable.

It's like a casino, where you can count the money, but you can't take all the winnings away, but it's a little different from the casino, because all the rules are for foreign capital.

The chairman of the FSC thinks that this departure tax is very interesting, and it may produce some good chemical reactions in conjunction with Lynch’s previous talk about providing more opportunities and policies to encourage funds to land and do business.

The meeting lasted not too long, and the meeting minutes were sent to the Presidential Palace soon after the end. Mr. Truman briefly read it during lunch.

He also felt that what Lynch said actually had more practical significance.

Now the Federation's military strength is leading the world, and it is qualified to formulate rules that belong to the Federation.

Since the money is going to come to the federation to make money, it must go according to the rules of the federation, otherwise it should not come in.

Among them, the promotion of investment behavior in the real industry mentioned by Lynch has won the favor of Mr. Truman. The construction of the real economy will make the society more prosperous and the happiness of the people will be more improved.

He then called an impromptu cabinet meeting to discuss whether these things were feasible and how to implement them.

After a day's work, Mr. Truman returned to the study in the rest area tiredly.

Joanna was not at home, and went to some party with those ladies, and now he was alone.

He poured himself a glass of wine, ordered a grilled lamb chop, listened to soothing music, and enjoyed the leisure after a full day's work.

After thinking about it, he called Lynch.

The call was quickly connected.

"I saw the minutes of today's meeting. I think what you said is very good. You may need to follow up later. Someone will call you at that time."

Lynch then said yes, saying that he would cooperate with the actions here.

As he spoke, Mr. Truman lowered his voice a little. "I asked you to investigate last time... have any results?"

He was referring to the matter of Joanna. He didn't actually have much doubts. After all, he was the president of the Federation and Joanna was the first lady.

At this point, if you really feel emotionally empty and want to develop a new relationship, you have to wait until the end of his term of office, and then we can get together and break up.

Whether it was divorce or cheating at that time, it was just their relationship being at odds. Now cheating is an international scandal!

In his heart, he was actually not willing to believe that his wife would cheat. After getting along for so many years, he knew exactly what kind of woman she was.

Lack of passion, step by step, life is a bit poor to boring!

She wouldn't be so "fashionable" to cheat, that's not her style.

Lynch's answer was just as he thought.

"We investigated for a long time, and we didn't find that she had seen anyone she shouldn't have seen, and there was no ... you know, nothing unusual."

Mr. Truman breathed a sigh of relief, "Retract people, I hope this matter will not be brought up."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Truman hummed a little song in a good mood, and turned on the TV to watch a TV series he hadn't watched before.

On the other side, Lynch called Noel after hanging up the phone, arranged some things, and hung up in a hurry.

Ten minutes later, the doctor who was watching TV with his wife and daughter suddenly looked at the telephone station in the corner, and the phone rang.

In the Commonwealth, senior family doctors earn much more than general doctors.

They specialize in serving those upper class people in society, which may involve some privacy matters.

A considerable part of the high medical expenses spent by these wealthy people is to silence doctors.

If you have money, you will naturally enjoy better services. This is the purpose of the federal people.

It must be unusual to call so late.

He let go of his arms around his wife and daughter, walked to the corner, and picked up the phone.

On the other end of the phone was the security guard at the gate of the community. The security guard first apologized for calling the doctor at this time, and then said that someone wanted to visit the doctor.

Because I am not a community resident and cannot provide any valuable information, I can only contact the doctor himself first.

At first he thought it might be a patient, or something else, and he was a little impatient.

Federal people are very angry about being interrupted during non-working hours, and he is no exception.

"Tell him, if there is anything to do, make an appointment at the clinic tomorrow..."

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard some conversations on the receiver, and then the security guard said, "...Sir, he wants to talk to you, and you will see him after he finishes speaking."

The doctor finds it a bit funny, his clients all have his personal phone number, and those who don't have his personal phone number are not his clients.

Maybe he heard about his patient from other places, or something, but his cautious character made him give him a chance.

The next second, a name he was very familiar with came from the phone—

"Joanna!"

"I go out for a while."

The doctor changed into his go-out clothes. He thought for a while, and under the watchful eyes of his wife and daughter, he ran upstairs in a panic.

He ran into the study, pulled out a hardcover book called "Modern Basic Medical Surgery" from the bookcase, opened it, and there was a revolver inside.

He is a little disturbed~lightnovelpub.net~ The pistol can bring him some spiritual help.

He opened the magazine, looked at the bullets it was full of, put it in his pocket, and left in a hurry.

Three minutes later, he met the person who called him outside the gate of the community.

An ordinary-looking young man.

"It was you who called me?" The doctor was a little wary, and he stood beside the sentry box.

In case something happened, he would call out for help.

Noel spread his hands, expressing his harmlessness, "Are you sure we want to talk about that here?"

The doctor swallowed, clenched the pistol in his hand, and walked towards Noel with his head down. The two walked along the community wall and walked along the side of the road...
