How is that a tax trick ? Pretty much anyone owning a company pays himself a tax minimum and extracts the rest through profits, etc.

You're required to pay a "reasonable salary". So if you pay yourself minimum wage, but collect $100+k in profit, you may get funny looks from the IRS.

Rule of thumb I've heard is 50% wages 50% profit, up until $100k wages, beyond which you can really start milking the profit.

Yeah here we have a minimum director salary (which is basically median wage instead of minimum), after that everything is pulled out through profit.
