Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

"Take a look at the labor contract. If there are no problems, sign it."

Sun Zecheng didn't even look at it and signed the contract directly.

"Aren't you afraid I'll trick you?" Xiong Xu asked with a smile.

"Labor contracts trick people, mainly with the five social insurances and one housing fund, and salaries. But I don't care about that. I have money. A salary that's enough for my daily expenses is fine."

Sun Zecheng said with a calm expression.

Xiong Xu gave Sun Zecheng a thumbs up. Having confidence is awesome.

Xiong Xu took the contract and pen, signed his name on the contract, and stamped it with the company seal he carried with him.

Once the seal was stamped, the contract became effective.

Sun Zecheng was officially hired by Xiong Xu, the chairman of Shan Xiong Breeding Company, as the general manager of Shan Xiong Breeding Company, and will be fully responsible for the company's affairs from now on.

"For tonight's auction, the starting price for the agency rights for each province is 8 million yuan, while foreign countries will be auctioned off on a per-country basis."

As soon as the contract took effect, Xiong Xu revealed the reserve price for the auction, which Sun Zecheng was most eager to know.

"A starting price of 8 million yuan is too high. I suggest a starting price of 5 million yuan," Sun Zecheng said after listening.

"5 million?"

Xiong Xu said hesitantly, feeling it was a bit too low.

After all, the two provincial agency rights that were sold each fetched 10 million yuan, and with a starting price of only 5 million yuan, wouldn't it be a huge loss if no one bid?

Sun Zecheng was not surprised by Xiong Xu's reaction and explained calmly, "The purpose of the auction is to encourage more people to participate in the bidding, creating competition and putting pressure on the bidders."

"For example, an item worth 100,000 yuan. If its starting price is 100,000 yuan, then only a handful of people will participate in the auction. The final price won't exceed 110,000 yuan."

"But if its starting price is 10,000 yuan, then 100 people will participate in the auction. Those who want to get this item will feel pressured and will frantically raise the price. Some people with bad tempers, if there are many bidders, might directly bid 200,000 yuan in one go, making their opponents give up and admit defeat."

"In this case, even if the auction winner spends 200,000 yuan to buy an item worth only 100,000 yuan, they won't feel like they've lost out, because when they bid 200,000 yuan, the value of the item is 200,000 yuan. The auction winner will also feel the sense of accomplishment and pleasure of defeating their opponents. This is the fun of participating in an auction, and the auction organizer successfully maximizes profits."

After listening to this, Xiong Xu felt that he had learned something new.

"Okay, then let's start with a price of 5 million yuan."

Xiong Xu chose to trust Sun Zecheng, knowing his own limitations in business and that Sun Zecheng understood it better than he did.

When it comes to professional matters, it's always right to listen to the advice of professionals.

"Chairman, how about I host the auction?" Sun Zecheng said.

Xiong Xu: "..."

.....

After a while, Xiong Xu drove away to Le'an County to attend the evening auction.

Sun Zecheng didn't ride in the same car as Xiong Xu. He had his own car, a Bentley Flying Spur, which cost over 4 million yuan.

The two men, in two cars, drove towards Le'an County.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the two arrived at the Le'an County People's Government and met with Secretary Miao Ge in the secretary's office.

"Secretary Miao, let me introduce you. This is the general manager I hired, Sun Zecheng. He will be mainly responsible for the affairs of Shan Xiong Breeding Company from now on."

Xiong Xu introduced Sun Zecheng to Secretary Miao Ge.

"Hello, Secretary Miao," Sun Zecheng said, reaching out his hand to Secretary Miao Ge in a humble but confident manner.

"Hello, General Manager Sun," Secretary Miao Ge said with a smile, shaking hands with Sun Zecheng.

"You've come at the right time. Just now, another thirty companies expressed their intention to participate in tonight's auction, as well as six foreign companies," Secretary Miao Ge said, leading the two to sit down on the sofa.

Xiong Xu and Sun Zecheng were both happy to hear this.

Originally, there were 120 domestic and foreign companies participating, and now there are 36 more, which means that tonight's auction will be very intense, and the agency rights can be sold for a higher price.

Secretary Lin Ling poured tea for Xiong Xu, Sun Zecheng, and Secretary Miao Ge before leaving. As soon as he left, Xiong Xu began to speak, "Wouldn't you say that this auction is the most enthusiastic event in the history of Le'an County?"

Secretary Miao Ge took a sip of tea, spat out the tea leaves, thought for a moment, and nodded. "It is indeed the most enthusiastic event in the history of Le'an County, and also the largest event organized by the Le'an County government. The only question is whether it can become the most rewarding event for Le'an County."

Xiong Xu and Sun Zecheng looked at each other, and then Xiong Xu looked at Secretary Miao Ge and said with a smile, "Absolutely. Our conservative estimate for the income from this agency rights auction is 200 million yuan, with a goal of 300 million yuan, and a gamble for 400-500 million yuan."

Secretary Miao Ge smiled after hearing this. If they could really earn 400-500 million yuan tonight, Le'an County's fiscal revenue this year would be at least 40-50 million yuan.

With this 40-50 million yuan in revenue, Le'an County could do a lot of things.

"I remember that Shan Xiong Breeding Company is currently enjoying some policy benefits, right?" Secretary Miao Ge asked.

Xiong Xu was very clear about this and replied, "Yes, Shan Xiong Breeding Company is currently enjoying our county's tax reduction and exemption policies. The reduction is for corporate income tax, from the original 25% to only 5%, and the exemption is for environmental protection tax. The policies are for a total of 2 years."

Hearing these words, Secretary Miao Ge, who majored in mathematics, silently calculated in his mind.

At a 5% corporate income tax rate, if Shan Xiong Breeding Company's profit exceeds 500 million yuan this year, then it will have to pay 25 million yuan in corporate income tax.

Corporate income tax is not the main thing. The main thing is individual income tax. Shan Xiong Breeding Company will definitely distribute dividends this year. Xiong Xu's dividends will be subject to a 20% individual income tax, and shareholders' dividends will be subject to a 10% individual income tax.

If the dividends are 200 million yuan, the government will receive 40-50 million yuan in dividends, plus corporate income tax, which is 70-80 million yuan.

The more Secretary Miao Ge calculated, the better his mood became. Le'an County's annual fiscal revenue is 1.8 billion yuan. Although 70-80 million yuan is less than 1/18 of 1.8 billion, this is only the first year.

No, only half a year. The company was only established in June.

It paid so much tax in half a year. What about next year? What about when the tax reduction and exemption policies expire?

At that time, I'm afraid that the total taxes paid by all the companies in Le'an County in a year will not be as much as those paid by Shan Xiong Breeding Company alone.

Secretary Miao Ge was extremely grateful for his decision to support Shan Xiong Breeding Company several times, bringing such a promising company to Le'an County.

"If your company's revenue exceeds 1 billion yuan next year, I will continue to exempt you from environmental protection tax for another three years," Secretary Miao Ge said.

Xiong Xu was naturally happy about the tax exemption. Even if the environmental protection tax was not much, saving a few yuan was still saving, and saving was earning.
