After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 190 White Wolf with Empty Gloves

Zhou Haoran was preparing to set off.

There are customers coming to the sales department.

It turned out to be Yan Hong, a reporter from "People's Livelihood Investigation".

"Brother Yan?"

Zhou Haoran was surprised.

Yan Hong smiled and said, "I told you, that figure I saw just now was you. I've finished writing my topic application report, and I'm giving you a copy."

Zhou Haoran took the report and asked, "Have you submitted it?"

Yan Hong said worriedly, "I submitted it, but from what the editor-in-chief said, there's a high probability that it won't work."

"Then there's no need to rush. Let's wait for your news first. What if it passes the trial?" Zhou Haoran said calmly, "If it doesn't, I'll find a way for you."

Yan Hong looked at him deeply and asked, "Do you really have a solution?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. What if?"

Director Meng saw this scene.

After Reporter Yan left, Meng Xuemin came over and asked in surprise, "Are you still in contact with the People's Livelihood Investigation?"

"More friends, more paths!"

Zhou Haoran looked down at the topic selection report and found that the title had been tampered with by him.

It is called "New Development of Private Economy in the New Era and New Journey."

It really doesn't sound like human language.

Meng Xuemin heard their conversation, glanced at the topic proposal, and curled his lips. "This is their column submitting a topic proposal, right? Whether it passes or not, you have the final say."

Zhou Haoran said: "My words don't count."

"Then you still gave him a promise?"

Meng Xuemin was both angry and amused, thinking that this kid was really out of tune.

Zhou Haoran glanced at him and said, "Director, I don't have the final say. There's still the Director. Whether this topic will be approved depends on his word."

"what?"

Meng Xuemin glared.

Zhou Haoran laughed heartily. "Director, I'm doing this for the director's own good! Some things, as an outsider, I might be able to see more clearly... Okay, I'm going to go sign the order. I'll be back this afternoon and hear the good news!"

Things like this require reciprocity, so Meng Xuemin shouted from behind him, "As long as you can sign the contract, I'll guarantee the topic selection for you!"

Zhou Haoran felt relaxed and at ease.

He had already agreed to sign the contract.

Went to the elevator.

He saw someone who made his heart beat.

Editor-in-chief Lin of "Family Gossip".

"Haoran?" Lin Guiyan got into the elevator with him, smiling enthusiastically, "Want to go out?"

Zhou Haoran said guiltily, "Yeah, I'm going out to visit clients."

Lin Guiyan said gently, "You are in the sales department, which is a bit of a waste of your talent. Why don't you come to the program team? You can be with your sister too."

When this was mentioned, Zhou Haoran frowned and whispered, "Editor-in-Chief Lin, I heard that she was bullied?"

Lin Guiyan was slightly startled. "No way? How come I don't know?"

"A deputy director came to inspect your place before and said some harsh words to her." Zhou Haoran was a little annoyed. "If you have anything to say, come to me. What's the big deal about bullying my sister?"

Lin Guiyan had a strange expression on his face. "Are you talking about Deputy Director Yi Changping?"

Zhou Haoran said angrily: "It's him!"

"He's targeting you?"

Lin Guiyan found it a little ridiculous.

Would the deputy director of the channel target you, a sales representative who has just joined the company?
Zhou Haoran had very close contact with her and even explored her underwear.

But this relationship is not shallow.

He had no worries and snorted, "That Yi Changping doesn't act like a leader at all. He's too petty. He can't do anything to me, so he goes and bullies my sister. Sooner or later, I'll teach him a lesson!"

Lin Guiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why are you acting like a child? Well, don't worry about your sister. As long as I'm the editor-in-chief of Family Gossip, no one can bully her."

Zhou Haoran had a good impression of Editor-in-Chief Lin. He glanced at the red badge on her chest, which indicated the first tier of staff, and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble Editor-in-Chief Lin to take good care of my sister."

"You two siblings have such a good relationship."

"Sister and brother!"

"Are you cousins?"

"Almost." Zhou Haoran responded vaguely, "We grew up together, just like siblings."

"No wonder." Lin Guiyan winked at him, "You're almost becoming a celebrity in our program team."

"Me?" Zhou Haoran was very curious. "What's wrong with me?"

Lin Guiyan said jokingly, "You're a handsome boy, and a good brother. You even handed over your salary on your own initiative. The sisters in the program team were all melted when they saw you."

"Uh……"

Zhou Haoran twitched his lips.

What's going on?

Am I a little brother now?

Lin Guiyan joked, "Go practice dancing when you have time. I'll organize a dance party later. Come over and dance with the sisters to make them happy."

Zhou Haoran said sternly, "Editor-in-Chief Lin, I don't like dancing."

"is it?"

Lin Guiyan looked playful.

Zhou Haoran coughed lightly, "That depends on the people."

"Humph!"

Lin Guiyan glared at him, then walked out of the elevator with her head held high.

……

sign.

There are two orders in total, each order is 20 yuan, totaling 40 yuan.

Jiang Feibiao was incredibly greedy, even at this crucial time for promotion, he was still embezzling money. The factory allocated 50 yuan, and the intermediary company signed a contract for 40 yuan, of which he pocketed 10 yuan.

"Ugh!"

Jiang Feibiao sighed, as if he was still not satisfied with the huge sum of 10 yuan.

Zhou Haoran was really afraid that his crime would be exposed and he would be arrested, so he said tactfully, "It's quite risky to make money out of nothing. If you have connections and channels, it's better to make clean money. It's safer. No matter how much you make, no one can say anything."

"It's no use having connections!" Jiang Feibiao said bitterly, "I even found someone specifically, but it was useless. I bought 10 yuan worth of stocks, and now I only have a little over 4 yuan left."

Zhou Haoran was a little surprised. "No way? Isn't it a bull market now?"

Jiang Fei biao said, "What bad luck! In this bull market, all the stocks are rising, but the two I bought have been falling. I even asked someone inside the exchange to recommend them to me."

Zhou Haoran said: "The stock market is the pulse of the market and it is indeed difficult to control."

"Hmm?" Jiang Feibiao vaguely understood something. "Brother, do you understand the stock market?"

"How would I understand?"

Zhou Haoran didn't want to get too involved with him.

However, the A-share market has been in a bull market recently.

He had just made some spare cash from selling books and was looking for an opportunity to get involved. He wanted to pick two or three low-risk stocks, not seeking high returns, but just enough to make some pocket money.

In Zhou Haoran's view, making money is easy.

There is no need to rush.

With his weak arms and legs, he has no ability to protect himself.

If you dare to take advantage of your foresight and stir up trouble in the current bull market and the upcoming Asian financial crisis, and wipe out all the big dealers without leaving a single one behind... you may make money, but you may lose your life.

It just so happened that Jiang Xiong was looking for him.

Zhou Haoran used this excuse to avoid Jiang Feibiao's entanglement and didn't want to die with him.

He got in a taxi and headed straight to Pudong. Jiang Xiong wanted to treat him to dinner.

Zhou Haoran said he had something to do, so he made an appointment to go to the nearby five-star hotel for afternoon tea.

It's called afternoon tea.

It's actually coffee with dessert.

"Mr. Zhou, I've thought about the three-party merger you mentioned. I think it's possible!"

Jiang Xiong's attempt to please was obvious.

Zhou Haoran said seriously, "It's best to merge. This is the most beneficial option for all three parties. The market is so impactful right now. The slightest disturbance can cause a large number of private enterprises to collapse. Merging and banding together will benefit everyone."

Jiang Xiong sighed, "I'm just worried that Old Li won't agree!"

"You've known him for a long time, so go and try to persuade him." Zhou Haoran laughed. "He may not have figured it out yet."

Jiang Xiong hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly, "His publishing house has land, factories, equipment, and workers. Its fixed assets must be three or four million. If it is just merged into Zhongbo Bookstore, it seems a bit of a disadvantage."

Zhou Haoran said, "That's not true. The greater the assets, the greater the risk. Just like the bankruptcy crisis of the Children's Encyclopedia, who was more seriously affected? If you go bankrupt, you can just walk away and it won't have any impact. If he goes bankrupt, not only will the factory and equipment be taken away, but those workers who have been owed wages for months will also be punished."

Jiang Xiong nodded, "I'm afraid he won't understand."

“You’ve worked so hard.”

Zhou Haoran smiled slightly.

My mind is as clear as a mirror.

Mr. Jiang was so anxious because his foreign debts were pressing him, and the second printing of the "Children's Encyclopedia" was putting him under great pressure. He wanted to complete the three-party merger as soon as possible so that he could divide the money and alleviate the crisis.

"Mr. Zhou, this is what I think..." Jiang Xiong said solemnly, "Li Changxing's publishing house does have a lot of assets. It wouldn't be appropriate to just merge it with him. How about we offer a purchase price to give him some psychological comfort?"

Zhou Haoran asked: "How much?"

Jiang Xiong asked, "One million?"

Zhou Haoran couldn't help but laugh, "Is this what Li Changxing wanted you to tell me?"

"No, let's discuss this first."

Jiang Xiong didn't need to communicate in advance.

Zhongbo Bookstore was divided equally among three parties, and Li Changxing was naturally willing to invest in the acquisition of Changxing Publishing House.

It mainly depends on whether the other two shareholders are willing to pay.

Zhou Haoran nodded. "That's fine. 100 million or 200 million, that's fine. Since it's a partnership, we have to be sincere. There's no need to be too fussy. Boss Jiang, go talk to him about this."

The three parties cooperated to establish Zhongbo Bookstore.

Zhou Haoran put his project in for free.

Jiang Xiong merged his company into the company for free.

Li Changxing's publishing house has fixed assets of three to four million. Even if it is not merged for free, it must be merged at a very low discount.

In fact, in Zhou Haoran's opinion, Jiang Xiong's company is far more valuable than Li Changxing's company.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, Mr. Zhou is just playing the trick of getting something for nothing.

Once the three parties merge, everything will be done.

He didn't produce anything.

By entering the market with wisdom, we have acquired valuable intangible and fixed assets in the book industry.

Jiang Xiong said happily: "With Mr. Zhou's words, I feel relieved."

Zhou Haoran saw through his thoughts early on and said with a smile, "Zhongbo Bookstore currently has 670 million in its account. Let's first finalize the plan for the three-party merger. Once all the formalities are completed, we can discuss the division of the funds."

Jiang Xiong was very eager, "Mr. Zhou, how do we divide the money?"

Zhou Haoran said, "It's all paid out of the company account. What do you think of 100 million per person?"

You can’t directly distribute the money.

If the company's money is distributed directly to individuals, personal taxes will be levied.

By not sharing the money and going through the reimbursement process, you can save both personal and corporate taxes.

Each person has a quota of 100 million yuan. Whether it is buying a car, a house, jewelry, or eating, staying in a hotel or going to a dance hall, all expenses will be charged to the company's account and will be counted as necessary operating expenses during the company's development.

Ultimately, it comes down to controlling the right of distribution.

Some bosses of large companies earn only one dollar a year.

Seems like saving money.

In fact, his personal expenses every year amount to hundreds of millions, all paid through the company's account.

He personally doesn't have to spend a penny.

Naturally, there is no need for wages.

The basic salaries of civil servants, state-owned enterprises, and public institutions are all very low.

It is also very confusing.

If you have control over distribution, even with an annual salary of one dollar, you can have delicacies from land and sea, Maotai liquor, yachts, and private clubs with beautiful women.

Jiang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at ease. "Well, I think the 100 million limit is pretty good, but..."

"how?"

"Mr. Zhou, how about I give you a car?"

"Need not!"

Even if Zhou Haoran bought a luxury car, he couldn't drive it around the office.

Jiang Xiong whispered, "The Mercedes-Benz we talked about last time has an official price of 160 million. I found a friend who can get it for 80. It's a pure import from Germany!"

These days, more than 90% of the country's top luxury cars are smuggled in.

It was supposed to be cut in half.

"Say it again!"

Zhou Haoran smiled.

Jiang Xiong said, "Mr. Zhou, I think you should buy it. A car is a symbol of status, and you... Hey! I'll be honest, Mr. Zhou, you are too young. It's hard for people who don't know you to believe you. If you had a top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz, it would be a different story."

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran immediately followed his train of thought.

I think it makes sense!

His next sales plan is to write letters and make friends with local private business owners through this method.

If you just keep writing letters, that's fine.

What if we meet in the future?

How to maintain your sense of authority?

If the other party finds out that the "Mr. Zhou" who teaches them business management and advises them on business strategies is just a greenhorn, they might think they have been scammed.

When you go out, you really should have a set of stunning outfit!

Jiang Xiong smiled and said, "Buying a Mercedes-Benz is for the development of Zhongbo Bookstore and should not be counted towards Mr. Zhou's 100 million yuan limit. I'll tell Lao Li about it later, and he probably won't refuse."

Zhou Haoran didn't refuse this time and asked cautiously, "80? Can you do it?"

Jiang Xiong smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

Zhou Haoran had benefited from him this time, so he could give him some compensation. "Boss Jiang, how are you going to spend the 100 million yuan?"

Jiang Xiong couldn't say it directly, "Not necessarily. My son is going to study in the United States, and the tuition is not small."

"Well, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

Zhou Haoran extended the olive branch.

It can be considered as returning a favor.

The second printing of "Children's Encyclopedia" should be settled as it is time to settle the account, and buy back this batch of books in the name of Zhongbo Bookstore.

You don’t have to use up your credit limit!

However, Jiang Xiong didn't understand his hidden meaning.

Maybe it's just shame.

I feel embarrassed to bring up the matter of reprinting the Children's Encyclopedia. If you and I don't mention it, we will all pretend not to know and have fun.
