Back to the prime of life

Chapter 140 Recruitment
Feng Yang is 23 years old and is from Xuji Town, Huaishui County. He and Lu Changge's family do not belong to the same town, but they cannot escape the identity of being a fellow villager.

He originally graduated from high school, but because of his poor grades he couldn't get into university, nor could he go to a good junior college. The tuition was also expensive, which was really not cost-effective for a poor family like his.

Later, his family used various connections to send him to the army.

After retiring from the army, he was busy looking for a job. After moving to several places, he came to Lu Changge.

After working for almost a month, he was quite satisfied. The environment was good and his work now was just to watch the gate and manage the parking spaces.

He also called his friend Yin Shaojun, Yin Anyan's cousin.

There is only one purpose, to persuade him to come over.

On the phone, Feng Yang said, "I think your future brother-in-law is quite capable. He knows the owner of our big shopping mall and has connections in the government. Based on this, I think he can make this swimming pool a success. Anyway, we are hiring now. You can come with me and work together so that we brothers can get together from time to time."

Yin Shaojun asked, "How much salary does he give you?"

"four thousand."

"Oh, that's okay. It's mainly about being relaxed."

"It's too easy. I haven't even opened yet, so I've been sitting around doing nothing. But it probably won't be hard after it opens. Come on, he's your future brother-in-law. He'll be here in no time."

Yin Shaojun hummed and refused, "The condition is that I'm not ugly, but I can't go."

"What?"

"For family reasons, my aunt still has something against them. If I go there now, won't I be offending my aunt?"

Everyone in the Yin family has to rely on Yin Anyan's father, and no one will offend this family.

Feng Yang was quick-witted and said mercilessly, "That's your aunt's problem. Mr. Lu is the boss. Even if he's a small boss, he's still the boss. Will he be willing to be bullied by her in the future?"

This is true, but since it is his sister's business, Yin Shaojun can't say anything.

Feng Yang unexpectedly learned of this piece of news.

However, when he returned to the swimming pool, he didn't dare say much to others.

By May, all preparations were nearing completion. After a month of recruitment promotion for the key accounting position, 5 people finally submitted their resumes.

Zuo Shuya originally thought that Lu Changge didn't understand these things, so she wanted to help him. Unexpectedly, Boss Lu got some experience from somewhere and actually knew about corporate tax laws. At the recruitment site, he raised a very professional tax issue, which was so professional that Zuo Shuya, who had a legal background, didn't particularly understand it.

In a specially prepared room, Lu Changge sat at the head of the table. After everyone introduced themselves, he asked, "On January 1st of this year, the state promulgated the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Enterprise Income Tax Law.' Article 1 stipulates that if an enterprise purchases and actually uses specialized equipment for environmental protection, energy conservation, water conservation, and safe production, 10% of the investment in that equipment can be deducted from the tax payable for that year. I'd like to ask, have you paid attention to this provision? If so, what positive significance do you think this regulation has for our swimming pool? How do you plan to apply this new regulation in practice?"

Lu Changge wants to recruit a relatively professional financial staff,

Accounting is not just about keeping books, it is a profession that involves a lot of business knowledge, and it is not easy to learn well.

Among them, the most important thing is the familiarity and application of tax laws, which is indispensable in modern society.

To put it in an exaggerated way, if the financial personnel are not professional enough, they may not even know that they have violated the law.

The first person to enter was a middle-aged man in his forties. He claimed to have twenty years of accounting experience in a machinery factory. His answer to the question was rather mechanical, and it was obvious that he hadn't even studied the new corporate tax law. Most of the people, including the three who came in later, looked bewildered.

Before the fifth question, Zuo Shuya said, "Isn't this question a bit too difficult? To be honest, I don't even understand it."

Lu Changge said, "It's not difficult at all. You don't understand it because you're no longer in this field, but professional finance is different."

Yin Anyan was also here to observe today. She said, "It's not that difficult. It's just that others see us as a small business, so we have to take our chances."

Lu Changge was also helpless. He always felt that talented people were hard to come by, and those who came to him were all just show-offs.

Then, the fifth person came in.

He was also a man, in his thirties, with a slicked-back hair. He introduced himself as Zhou Zihao.

When asked this question, he immediately responded, "I understand. This regulation is a tax incentive policy introduced by the state to encourage environmental protection and energy conservation."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Lu Changge asked, "What are the specific positive implications?"

Zhou Zihao replied, "It depends on the business situation of the company. Only after I fully understand the situation can I propose appropriate countermeasures."

This is quite stable.

But Lu Changge was not satisfied, because as far as his answer was concerned, there was actually nothing to hear. It was all Tai Chi. Even though this person was professional, he was also quite smooth.

Lu Changge asked the person to leave temporarily. If the final result was the same as the previous four, then Zhou Zihao would still be good.

Then, the recruitment continues.

When it came to the ninth person, a tall and thin woman with short hair came in. Her surname was Lin, and her name was Lin Xiaowei. She was wearing jeans and carrying a canvas bag. She was not particularly good-looking, mainly because her facial features were not well-proportioned and her skin was not the type that a beauty would see.

But it doesn't matter, today is not a beauty pageant.

In response to Lu Changge's question, she replied, "I'm familiar with the new Corporate Income Tax Law. Article 98 aims to encourage businesses to purchase environmentally friendly and energy-saving equipment. On a positive note, this can reduce a company's taxable income and improve its cash flow. Two common financial methods are accelerated depreciation and double-declining balance.

In the case of swimming pools, the constant temperature equipment, as an energy-saving device, is eligible for accelerated depreciation. For example, the original five-year depreciation period can be shortened to three years. As the annual depreciation expense increases, pre-tax profits will decrease, and the tax payable will naturally be reduced.

Lu Changge glanced at Zuo Shuya and said, "Look, can you say this question is difficult?"
Professionals all understand!
Don’t underestimate other people’s ability to eat!
That's not all. Lin Xiaowei added, "The swimming pool has a chlorine filtration system. If this system is registered with the 'Catalogue of Energy-Saving and Water-Saving Equipment Certification,' you can enjoy additional benefits. That means 10% of the equipment investment can be directly deducted from your income tax payable."

Lu Changge laughed. This is what accounting is.

"Come on." He gestured to Zuo Shuya and told her to ask other questions.

He himself moved closer to Yin Anyan.

Yin Anyan came over and whispered, "Female ones are better. I'm more used to them. If they're not pretty, that's even better."

Lu Changge felt helpless. Even if she was pretty, so what? He was such a decent man.
