Switzerland Υoung Μillionaires 23 years old from the masks
"In this way, Switzerland got the masks for free"
With the
sale of respiratory masks, two young Zurich entrepreneurs have become
multimillionaires during the first Corona wave. In an interview, the two
23-year-olds also admit mistakes.
The two
young entrepreneurs from Zurich who had become multimillionaires with their
company Emix Trading and the sale of protective masks had made headlines for
the first time in the summer . They had sold masks to the federal government
for around 22 million francs - including according to a report by"Tages-Anzeiger"
also counterfeit and unusable goods.
The two
23-year-olds did not want to let these allegations sit on them, reports the
«St. Galler Tagblatt ». In an interview, the young entrepreneurs reject the
accusation. They also contradict the criticism that they sold the protective
masks at exorbitant prices . Anyone who speaks of usury has no idea how
expensive it was to produce goods in such large quantities and have them
shipped to Europe.
Sales in
Europe, taxes in Switzerland
You would
have achieved a maximum margin of 20 to 30 percent in Switzerland. "We can
prove that," said one of the two young millionaires. You yourself would
have paid purchase prices of between 2 and 7 euros for the masks. That they
should have gotten rich at the expense of the taxpayer annoys them.
Emix
Trading made by far the largest part of its sales in the surrounding Europe -
but taxed the profit in Zug. The two 23-year-olds pay their taxes in Schwyz.
"In this way, Switzerland got the masks for free," says one of the
two.
As a mistake,
however, the former young SVPers admit the purchase of luxury cars, with which
they also made headlines in the summer. After getting rich selling the masks,
they bought Ferrari and Bentley cars.
