Some people think so: 1. \x0d\ If Bill Gates donates all his personal assets and the donated assets have nothing to do with him, then it is true; If Gates' assets are donated, the money will be donated to the Gates Foundation, and the chairman of the Gates Foundation is Bill Gates' father (Bill Gates). Such a brand-new way of transferring assets is called charity, which is a scam. Why? \x0d\ Bill Gates moved from Bill Gates' private vault to the vault of the Gates Foundation through such asset transfer, but the key to the vault door is still in the hands of the Gates family. Bill Gates can still use the funds of the Gates Foundation to invest in some enterprises, and even buy US Treasury bonds, stocks and bonds of foreign governments to make money. The difference is that through the investment activities of the Gates Foundation, the government can be exempted from high taxes. \x0d\ For example, in 2003, the Gates Foundation invested $26.8 billion and got a return of $3.9 billion. And these awards belong to Bill Gates himself. \x0d\ In short, Bill Gates can get three benefits after donating all his personal assets: 1. He can get the reputation of "boundless public morality"; 2. 50% or even 60% of the "inheritance tax" can be avoided; 3. In the name of Gates Foundation, business activities can still be carried out, and preferential treatment of tax exemption can be obtained from the government. \x0d\ "Donation to charity" as understood by China people and "Donation to charity" as understood by Americans are two concepts. China people understand "donating money", that is, after the money is donated, it will go into the water under the bridge like the water distributed. American Bill Gates understands "donating to charity", that is, after donating money, just like a married daughter, she can go back to her family. \x0d\ Warren Buffett and Bill Gates said they would come to China to lobby the rich people in China to learn from them and donate money. It's like the ox trying to persuade the tiger to eat grass instead of meat. This is just a joke. \x0d\ It is not impossible for the rich in China to donate money to charity. As long as the China government is willing to move a set of things from American charitable foundations to China intact, the rich people in China will also be willing to donate money. \x0d\ Bill Gates is an entrepreneur and a businessman. Businessmen all over the world are the same Everyone wants to make money, and the more they want to make, the better. Making more money is the essence of businessmen. Businessmen who don't want to make money can't become rich. \x0d\ After the news that Bill Gates was going to donate all his personal assets was revealed, many people in China couldn't wait to praise the personal noble character of the rich Americans, but they didn't want to seriously think about why the rich Americans were so keen to donate all their assets. They have been working hard all their lives. Is the ultimate goal just to give money to others? Bill Gates, since you want to do good, donate the money, why not donate it directly to the US government? Why set up the Gates Foundation, then give the money to the Gates Foundation, and then appoint your father as the president of the Gates Foundation? Isn't this taking off your pants and farting? \x0d\ If Warren Buffett and Bill Gates want to come to China to lobby the rich in China, do you want to give the money from the Gates Foundation to hundreds of millions of poor people in China first, so as to lobby and be convincing? \ x0d \ \ x0d \ 2: \ x0d \ \ x0d \ On June 27th, at the headquarters of Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, Washington, USA, Bill Gates (right), the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation of the United States, gave a speech at the employee farewell event. Second only to Microsoft CEO steve ballmer. On the same day, Bill Gates spent his last full-time working day at Microsoft. \ x0d \ x0d \ These days, Gates resigned as the chairman of Microsoft, and will mainly manage the Gates Foundation, which has been heated by the media in China. Many media or individuals in China talk about "kindness" and "humanity" as evidence of the Gates Foundation. Others say that Gates mainly manages the Gates Foundation, and that "Bill Gates donated all his personal assets". People talk about Gates's use of funds to set up a foundation, which means "donating all his personal assets" and "selfless", and the foundation means "charity". \x0d\\x0d\ Many websites have published an article entitled "Conflict between Investment Interests and Fund Purpose". The article actually pointed out that the Gates Foundation made a lot of money in the name of "charity". The article quoted the Los Angeles Times as saying that the Gates Foundation has invested a lot of money to "hold stocks or bonds of some enterprises, which conflicts with the goal of promoting health, housing and social welfare issues declared by the Gates Foundation". \ x0d \ x0d \ Los Angeles Times also said that the "charitable" Gates Foundation made huge profits from its profitable investments every year, but these investments actually conflicted with its grandiose declaration of "social welfare activities". According to the Los Angeles Times, the Gates Foundation, advertised by some people as mainly engaged in social charity activities, "more than 465,438+0% of its total assets (about 8.7 billion US dollars) are invested in some enterprises, which does not include a large number of US Treasury bonds and foreign government bonds held by the Foundation." \x0d\\x0d\ According to Forbes, it is said that the Gates Foundation, which is mainly engaged in social charity activities, achieved a return on investment of up to $3.9 billion with a capital of $26.8 billion in 2003. In fact, expanding philanthropy through investment and operation has become the basic operation mode of many charitable foundations in the United States. Like most charities, the Gates Foundation donates 5% of its total assets every year to avoid paying more taxes, and invests 95% of its assets. In 2005, the Gates Foundation donated about US$ 6,543.8+US$ 40 million. " Therefore, the Gates Foundation, advertised by some people as engaging in social charity activities, achieved a return on investment of $3.9 billion with a capital of $26.8 billion in 2003, with a profit rate as high as 15%, which is higher than many publicly declared profit-making enterprises. The Rightists touted the "charity" of the Gates Foundation, but avoided talking about the truth that the Gates Foundation made money under "charity". \ x0d \ x0d \ In fact, making money and increasing wealth through investment and operation under the guise of "charity" has become one of the business models of many American capitalists. On the other hand, the Rightists insist on changing capital from other business models to the capital business model of foundations, beautifying it as "donating all assets". In fact, the foundation's capital management model can bring huge economic benefits of tax reduction and exemption with a kind package. Like most foundations in the United States that claim to be engaged in charity, the Gates Foundation can enjoy the benefits of tax relief by donating 5% of its total assets every year. In 2005, the Gates Foundation donated about US$ 654,380.4 billion, so that another 95% of the profitable assets of the Gates Foundation benefited from tax relief. This income exceeded its donation of1400 million dollars. \ x0d \ x0d \ According to relevant information, the Gates Foundation had assets of $26.8 billion in 2003 and $35 billion at the end of 2005. Therefore, in 2005, the Gates Foundation, which was advertised as extremely "kind" by some people, donated $6,543.8 +0.4 billion, which probably did not reach the 5% ratio of its required donation. \ x0d \ x0d \ Gates turned tens of billions of assets into his own foundation to make money, earning billions a year. But he insisted that Gates' putting money from his left pocket into his right pocket was "Bill Gates donated all his personal assets" and Gates was "naked donation". Looks like Gates has donated naked. Gates will "donate all his property to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation". In fact, Gates transferred the assets originally made in A to B, the Gates Foundation, to make money. How can it be said that Gates will "donate all his property" when he turns his left hand to his right hand and takes it out of his left pocket and puts it in his right pocket, or when the capital management mode changes? Is there a saying that you donate your property to yourself? Gates "completed the transformation from entrepreneur to philanthropist". American foundations (including the Gates Foundation) are engaged in "charity", while foundations (including the Gates Foundation) are good at making money and have rich profits. \ x0d \ \ x0d \ 2006 June 16, 2006, Hong Kong Sing Tao Global Network wrote, "The large charitable foundations in the United States are famous for their smart investments. Take the Gates Foundation as an example. Its investment in the United States is known for its diversity and conservatism. Its usual method is simply to' suck low and throw high' and take the opportunity to make a profit. In addition to stocks, the Gates Foundation also invests heavily in short-term investment projects, including US government bonds, high-grade commercial paper and short-term discounted bonds, as well as domestic and international mutual fund investments, high-yield corporate securities and international corporate and government securities. \ x0d \ x0d \ According to Forbes, in 2003, the Gates Foundation achieved a return on investment of $3.9 billion with a capital of $26.8 billion. In 2006, the average return on investment was about 18%, and its efficient investment level was amazing. So some people think that Gates donated a lot of money to avoid the high property tax of the government. There are also some people who believe that Gates did this to improve the company image damaged by litigation in recent years. " \x0d\\x0d\ Another article also analyzes whether the Gates Foundation is keen on charity or making money according to Forbes data. "According to Forbes, according to its annual report, in 2003, the foundation received a return of $3.9 billion with a capital of $26.8 billion. This total amount is more than three times the income from its property transfer of $6,543,802 million. In 200 1 year, the average return on investment of Gates Fund is about 18%. Even when the dividend of the S&P 500 index drops 12%, the annual return of the Gates Fund can reach 7.8%. These figures show that the focus of this charity seems to be not charity, but its return on investment. " \ x0d \ \ x0d \ 2007 June 5438+ 10, 2007, many domestic websites published an article entitled "The Gates Foundation violates the investment purpose and destroys the world environment? The article said, "There are foreign media reports that some investment behaviors of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are contrary to their original intentions. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Gates Foundation has invested a lot of money in oil companies, which will bring great disasters to the environment in developing countries. This runs counter to the foundation's purpose of fighting poverty and AIDS. At the same time, some pharmaceutical companies invested by the Gates Foundation were accused of preventing the supply of low-priced drugs to poor countries. In addition, the Gates Foundation makes huge profits from its investments every year, which may conflict with its declared social welfare activities. "\ x0d \ x0d \ The mercenary behavior of the Gates Foundation by hook or by crook in order to make money occurs not only abroad, but also in China. The Gates Foundation, touted as "selfless" and "noble moral sentiment", has made profits by investing in China for a long time, which has also made some followers suffer heavy losses. These things are also avoided by people in Kazakhstan and the United States who praise the "charity" and "noble moral sentiments" of the Gates Foundation. They only talked about the Gates Foundation coming to China for charity activities. \ x0d \ \ x0d \ 2004 August 6th, 2004, Sina published a report entitled "Suppressing Gates Fund of Marine Chemical Industry, then chasing up, shareholders were quilted". The report said: "Recently, the Gates Foundation speculated on China stocks in Hongkong, which aroused people's infinite passion. Gates concept stock Beiren Printing Machinery Holding Co., Ltd. (Information Quotes Forum) (600860) once again had a daily limit yesterday. However, just as investors were still partying, a pot of cold water poured on their heads: the Gates Fund began to ship! \ x0d \ x0d \ According to the transaction data released by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange yesterday, the Gates Fund reduced its holding of 2.788 million shares of Haishu Chemical on August 3, with an average price of 1.35 yuan/share, and its shareholding ratio decreased from 5.38% to 4.8%. At the beginning of the fund's establishment, the average price was HK$ 0.94/share, the earnings per share this time was 0.4 1 yuan, and the one-month yield was 43%. The first time the Gates Fund played China Stock Exchange, it tasted the sweetness. \ x0d \ x0d \ Gates Fund bought Haiqu Chemical before July 5, and announced on August 2 that the stock price of Haiqu Chemical soared 36.7% on the day of the announcement, closing at 1.34 Hong Kong dollars. With its high opening, the cost of chasing up by most Hong Kong investors is above HK$ 65,438+HK$ 0.25. \ x0d \ x0d \ The Gates Fund was shipped on August 3rd, and on that day, Haihua fell 1 1.85%. Yesterday, when Hong Kong stocks surged, the stock fell by 3.36% to close at 1. 15. On August 3, investors who chased the gains generally suffered a book loss of 10. \ x0d \ x0d \ In the China stock market, the Gates Foundation has been using its "Gates concept" manipulated and hyped in the stock market to induce investors to follow suit and raise the price of the stocks purchased by the Gates Foundation, and then the Gates Foundation will sell its stocks for profit. At the same time, "selflessness" and "noble moral sentiments" will throw the China investors who make profits from the Gates Foundation into a loss and lock-in situation. The true face of the "selfless" and "noble moral sentiment" Gates Foundation, which benefits by harming the interests of others, will not be talked about by people who criticize the Gates Foundation in Kazakhstan and the United States. \ x0d \ x0d \ This article in the financial sector tells that the Gates Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation participated in health decision-making under the guise of donating medical research, and the decision-making "always only considered themselves", and authoritatively demanded that medical research must be consistent with the wishes and interests of donors such as Gates and Rockefeller. If the person in charge of the scientific research project does not act according to the wishes of the donor, the Benevolence Foundation will arbitrarily ask the donor to isolate and lay off the person in charge of the scientific research project. The article said: "Recently, officials in charge of malaria in the World Health Organization complained that malaria research conducted by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has become more and more extensive in the world and has been in a dominant position in this field. According to the World Health Organization, the monopoly of the Gates Foundation may prevent scientists from putting forward different opinions in this field, which will gradually lose the function of making healthy decisions on a global scale. \ x0d \ x0d \ In a memorandum of understanding, Dr. Alata Kozaki, Director of the Malaria Department of the World Health Organization, expressed his concern to Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization: the funds donated by the Gates Foundation to the World Health Organization are "crucial, but at the same time they have far-reaching and unexpected consequences." \ x0d \ \ x0d \' Due to the limitation of research funds, many scientists who are in the leading position in the field of malaria research in the world must be consistent with the wishes of the institutions that support their own research. Dr. Ozaki said:' If everyone engaged in research in this field is consistent with their own group interests, then the independence of scientists in scientific research will become more and more difficult to guarantee.' \x0d\\x0d\ In addition, Ozaki believes that the research direction funded by foundations often focuses on their own preferences. If the decision of the Gates Foundation is of decisive guiding significance to institutions around the world, it will have a negative impact on the worldwide policy-making process, and the policy will not estimate everyone's interests. \ x0d \ x0d \ Dr. Ozaki is an upright official of the World Health Organization. He was respected by his peers for fighting the spread of tuberculosis in the world. But this time, in the anti-malaria project, Ozaki was "isolated" because he offended donors such as Rockefeller Foundation and Gates Foundation. Ozaki believes that when these foundations participate in the world health decision-making, they are just like a closed internal working procedure, and only themselves will be considered. He added that foundations always incorporate data seen by vested interests into policy formulation. \x0d\ The case of Dr. Alata Kozaki, Director of the Malaria Department of the World Health Organization, is just one of countless cases in which capitalist foundations used "charitable donations" to control recipients in an authoritative and arbitrary way. The case of Dr. Ozaki was exposed because "Dr. Ozaki is an honest official of the World Health Organization". He didn't yield to the pressure of capital. He thinks that there really is "freedom of scientific research" in the west, and that the west really should respect democracy and freedom and respect talents. He is a talent respected by his profession, so he thinks he can act according to his own scientific research direction. He doesn't understand that the "kindness" of monopoly capital foundation is just a deceptive cover. Monopoly capital is the ruler of society. Monopoly capital requires all people in society to obey their rights, even in the so-called "charitable donation". Therefore, Dr. Ozaki "offended donors like Rockefeller Foundation and Gates Foundation" and was isolated.
