Chapter 1293: The Frustration of Being Sidelined
"We are also a joint venture with Hong Kong capital, right?" Yang Dongxu said.
Zhao Yu rolled his eyes.
Are you not clear whether it is a joint venture or not? Fu Dehai has left Hurricane Construction for many years. Can you clear all the shares?
Of course, in terms of the nature of the company, it is indeed a joint venture with Hong Kong capital, but is there a Hong Kong resident in our company's senior management?
"Okay." Yang Dongxu touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "You know I don't like to attend such meetings, so you should go this time.
It just so happens that I am going on a business trip to Hangzhou recently. I guess this report meeting will be over when I come back. If you are asked, just say that I am on a business trip and can't attend."
He also understands the common problems of domestic people, or not just official people. In fact, the general public also has this mentality, that is, they are polite and courteous to strangers, but they start to yell at their own people.
The foreign monks chanting sutras has become a deformed social phenomenon, and this phenomenon will continue to exist for many years. This is also related to the inheritance of Chinese culture. In short, it is not something that can be explained in a few words, nor is it a phenomenon that can be changed in one or two years.
Even though Yang Dongxu was unhappy about such things, he was not so stubborn that he had to try to see how hard this phenomenon was.
So his usual approach is, if I can't afford to offend me, can't I avoid it?
Besides, he is really tired of attending reports, banquets, and social events. So this is not directed at anyone, nor is he arrogant because of his current status and position, but simply doesn't like it. There is no such thing as not giving face to anyone or being too self-righteous.
"Will you attend this year's annual meeting?" Zhao Yu also knew the temperament of his boss, so he didn't bother about this matter anymore and talked about other things.
"Annual meeting?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but feel cold.
But think about it, it's the end of November in the Gregorian calendar now, and it will be the Gregorian New Year in another month. And after the Gregorian New Year, for the Lunar New Year, it can be said that they are counting the days and waiting for the holiday.
So there are only two months left until the Spring Festival. Although it is still early to plan the annual meeting, the company's executives can indeed notify each other in advance and go back to think about it and express their opinions.
In this way, they will meet for a meeting after a while, and it will be almost time to hold the annual meeting. After the meeting, a charter will be discussed and issued, and basically the annual meeting of the whole company can start preparations.
"I will not participate. You can decide on the specifics in the meeting. In this way, in terms of employee benefits, I will make the decision. The first prize will be a lottery prize of about 300,000 yuan for the entry-level Mercedes-Benz, and it can be exchanged for cash.
Company management above the supervisor level should not participate in the lottery. This is a benefit for employees. However, in addition to the year-end bonus, the management above the supervisor level must replace a batch of company cars at the end of the year. See if these supervisors are willing to take the eliminated cars. It can be sold to them at an internal discount, which is also a benefit."
Yang Dongxu's reward method is definitely not to make the company's management above the supervisor become the company's second-hand car junk buyers. Because Hurricane Construction's company cars are all new cars for two or three years.
These Mercedes-Benz cars basically start at 500,000 yuan. The higher the level of management, the better the company cars. For example, the top executives of the company all have luxury cars with a base price of 2 million Mercedes-Benz cars.
So any discount is an extra reward of hundreds of thousands of yuan. For example, those million-level luxury cars can be easily sold to second-hand car buyers by adding 100,000 or 220,000 yuan to the employee discount price. If a buyer is really found, it is easy to sell the entire 300,000 yuan.
"All the replaced company cars?" Zhao Yu asked with a smile.
This time Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes at him, and it was obvious that Zhao Yu was teasing him.
"As usual, one million-level car for shareholders, two cars below one million and above 700,000 yuan, and five cars between 500,000 and 700,000 yuan. The management above the supervisor level will be selected to get the purchase quota. The rest will be handled as before."
"Okay, I'll arrange it now." With a wave of his hand, millions of benefits were discovered, and the total was definitely not as good as the employee lottery benefits.
But Hurricane Construction has tens of thousands of formal employees, and only a few hundred management. The average management benefits are simply too much.
However, such cooking will not cause jealousy among employees at all. After all, these "second-hand cars" need to be sold for real money before they can be resold.
Moreover, the procedures required to convert the company's car into a private car are not only troublesome, but also expensive. So many ordinary employees don't do this at all.
Of course, these are much easier for management. In addition to the problem of handling fees that cannot be reduced, the processing of the project can be accelerated.
After all, Hurricane Construction changes cars every few years, even faster than the new Mercedes-Benz models launched by Huaxia BMW, and is very familiar with the vehicle management office.
As for why they change cars frequently, and they also change luxury cars. Naturally, it is because it can offset taxes. For example, a company's profit of 500 needs to pay 30% tax, which is 1.5 million.
If the company's profit is only 3 million, the tax is only 10%, which is 300,000. Then the company changes cars, two luxury cars worth 1 million, can reduce the profit to 3 million.
In this way, you only need to pay 300,000 yuan in tax and save 1.2 million yuan. You can drive home a luxury car equivalent to 1 million yuan for 400,000 yuan. If you open it for two years and sell it to others at a discount of 500,000 yuan, you can still earn 100,000 yuan. If you were the owner of a company, what would you choose?
In fact, this is also a disguised way to guide large-scale consumption. After all, once there are more big bosses who are misers, they will deposit their money in banks to earn steady interest, which will definitely have an impact on economic development.
Moreover, when company assets are transferred into personal assets, the procedures are complicated and the fees are high. At the same time, once the company goes bankrupt, the company cars you buy also belong to the company.
The court can seize the assets to make up for the shortfall in bankruptcy and liquidation. In short, it may seem like tax avoidance is taking advantage of the country, but in fact, the country will not suffer any losses if it takes a long-term view.
So sometimes you can't say that housing prices are caused by private real estate speculators. In addition to buying luxury cars, many companies also buy a lot of corporate properties to avoid taxes.
As a result, a company went bankrupt, and the houses where many big bosses lived and the luxury cars they drove were put up for auction. It's not that these houses and cars are the boss's personal property. It's also possible that they were bought with the company's tax avoidance money and are just for the boss to live in.
Otherwise, before the company goes bankrupt, if the boss cleans himself out and gives the house and car to his wife and children, he can completely avoid being auctioned.
But because it is not private property, but company property, it is not easy to transfer the ownership in this area. Therefore, it is fine to live in and use it at ordinary times, just like private property. However, once it is bankrupt and liquidated, you will definitely not be able to keep these things. It is impossible for you to just take advantage of it. pay.
Therefore, the transfer of 'used cars' is done to the company's supervisor or above. Because Hurricane Construction is a big taxpayer and the company thrives.
The above policies are a little more relaxed for such things, but this is not a reason for you to be unscrupulous. So it's okay to pay employees benefits at the end of the year, and it's okay to change cars on a large scale every few years to reasonably avoid taxes, but it's easy to get caught if you do it.
Compared with these tax-avoided incomes, Yang Dongxu's pigtails are undoubtedly worth more, and much higher. So it’s better not to exceed the bottom line.
Besides, since Yang Dongxu has so many companies, he can save a lot just by replacing cars every few years. What's more, BMW China is still his own company, which can invisibly boost performance and make money.
Coupled with other reasonable tax avoidance methods, he has saved a lot of money every year. There is no need to be greedy and stuff all the cake into your mouth. If you really do that, it's probably not long before you end up in jail.
Yang Dongxu said that he came to Hangzhou on a business trip, which was definitely not an excuse for not wanting to attend the report meeting. He had such an itinerary originally, but it just happened that Zhao Yu informed him of the invitation to the report meeting at this time.
To be honest, it is not only a surprise to the management of Xuri Technology that CC and MM can persist in the instant messaging software market until now, and that YY has not been directly eliminated by various amplification tactics, but also the big boss Yang Dongxu is also very surprised.
After all, no matter how you look at it, even if these two companies are tied together, they are no match for Xuri Technology. Whether it is games, chat software, or other aspects, whether it is a single comparison of a certain item, or a comparison of overall strength. Xuri Technology is much higher than the two companies combined.
But these two companies miraculously survived, and then the three companies started various wrangling lawsuits. Among them, YY must be the victim. The two companies know it very well, and even the official side knows it very well.
However, this infringement lawsuit has been delayed by various delays and there has been no judgment. It feels like the US government is trying to suppress Microsoft and is taking sides in the lawsuit between Microsoft and Apple.
In short, you, Xuri Technology, are really great, but CC and MM are just copycats. You can be better than me, and we can only follow your butt, but I will not die, what can you do to me?
Anyway, this thing is quite disgusting, even if YY can basically be said to be playing games now. Chat software, mini-games, and browsers are all perfect.
But the road to unifying chat software and dominating the world in the previous generation of Penguin Empire is still far away. This actually has something to do with YY coming out too late.
After all, before Penguin, there was no one that could beat the real-time chat software in China. After Penguin came out, it didn’t encounter any opponents for many years.
So it not only dominated the world, but also spent many years running the world, so that even if a strong opponent appeared later, it would be difficult to shake its dominance.
CC and MM are undoubtedly different. In the past, these two companies competed for hegemony in instant messaging software. In terms of technology and company management, they are actually infinitely close to the penguins of later generations.
YY belongs to Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway. Although this Cheng Yaojin's three-axe encounters gods and gods, meets Buddhas and kills Buddhas, he quickly became the boss. But there is no generational advantage that sweeps over each other, allowing users to completely abandon these two softwares.
What's more, the top companies are still trying to push the envelope. No matter what functions YY comes up with, these two companies can successfully copy them in a very short period of time. It is impossible to completely get rid of these two companies.
So this kind of wrangling will probably continue for several more years.
