Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

“Holy crap!”

“That's a lot!”

Seeing the mountain of hundred-yuan bills on the podium, the shareholders and surrounding villagers couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and the scene became noisy and chaotic again.

Flashes of light from cameras went off non-stop.

It was rare for the villagers to see such a scene, and for some, it was the first time. Those with phones couldn't resist taking pictures and posting them on WeChat and Douyin to show off.

“Everyone, please be quiet for a moment.”

Xiong Xu raised his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Xiong Xu's prestige in the village was self-evident, and the scene immediately became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

“I know everyone is very excited today, but please maintain order and don't cause a riot.”

“Today is the dividend distribution, but before that, I need to make a few statements in advance. Statement one: This time, the company is distributing 700 million yuan in dividends!”

Xiong Xu shouted loudly.

“Holy cow! Am I hearing things?”

“Seven hundred million, seven hundred million!”

“Millions!”

“Has our company made so much money in the past few months?”

“We're going to get rich.”

The whole place was in shock, and almost everyone's eyes widened, their mouths gaping wide enough to fit an egg.

For these people, let alone 700 million, even 700,000 was a number they could never save up in their lifetime. But now, Xiong Xu was taking out 700 million for dividends, and they were the beneficiaries, so they couldn't help but feel dazed, as if in a dream.

“Everyone, don't get too happy too soon.”

“My second statement: The dividends will be distributed according to the percentage of shares held. I own 60% of the shares, so I will receive 420 million yuan in dividends. The 452 shareholders present own 40% of the shares, so the total dividend for you all is 280 million yuan.”

Xiong Xu continued to speak, making it clear how much he would receive and how much everyone else would receive.

The villagers didn't understand what share dividends were. If it wasn't explained clearly, misunderstandings could easily arise later.

After listening to Xiong Xu's words, everyone's enthusiasm remained undiminished. They weren't envious or jealous that Xiong Xu was receiving 420 million yuan in dividends.

Mountain Bear Village was in a poor area with harsh conditions, but the people weren't unreasonable.

Everyone felt that Xiong Xu deserved it. After all, since the company was established, Xiong Xu had been busy with everything, doing this and that. Apart from contributing money during fundraising, they hadn't done anything else.

Being able to receive dividends was already great.

That's what everyone thought.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Xiong Xu continued, “My third statement: Dividends are subject to individual income tax. This is a relevant national regulation, and everyone has an obligation to pay taxes. According to laws and regulations, as a natural person, I have to pay 20% individual income tax on my dividends. As shareholders, you need to pay 10% individual income tax.”

“In other words, 28 million yuan in individual income tax will be deducted from your 280 million yuan dividend, leaving 252 million yuan for you to distribute.”

The shareholders nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Paying taxes to the country was an obligation, and there was nothing wrong with that.

“Statement four: Everyone knows about the residential project. It was approved by a vote of all of you. I personally advanced 217.57 million yuan for everyone. According to the agreement, I will deduct it from the dividends.”

“This time, 100,000 yuan will be deducted from each person's dividend as a prepayment, and the remainder will be deducted from future dividends.”

Xiong Xu originally wanted to deduct 481,349 yuan from each person, to recover the 210 million yuan in advance payment funds in one go. However, considering that some people's dividends weren't 480,000, and it wouldn't be possible to recover it all at once, he decided to deduct 100,000 yuan from each person first, to recover 45.2 million yuan in advance payment funds. The remaining advance payment funds would be recovered slowly later.

Anyway, there was no rush.

“After deducting the prepayment, the actual amount that everyone can receive is 206.8 million yuan, which averages out to about 450,000 yuan per person!”

Xiong Xu announced the fourth statement, which was also the last statement. In this final statement, he also revealed how much everyone could receive on average.

“Oh my god, 450,000!”

“I can't earn that much money even if I work outside for five years.”

“450,000!”

“And that's just the average. How much will I get since I contributed three thousand before?”

“I can't calculate it. Figure it out yourself.”

“I contributed two thousand. When Xu Zi signed the contract with me before, it said 0.1% on it. What is 0.1% of 200 million?”

“I don't think that's how it's calculated.”

The villagers' attention wasn't on the matter of deducting the advance payment funds. Their attention was all on what Xiong Xu said: 'An average of 450,000 yuan per person.'

This greatly exceeded the villagers' expectations. They originally thought that being able to get ten or twenty thousand would be amazing, and even prepared for five thousand or ten thousand. They didn't expect to actually get 450,000.

Dozens of times more than expected!

“Xu Zi, hurry up and distribute it. Sixth Uncle can't wait any longer.”

Xiong Da Niu, the former richest man in Mountain Bear Village who took the lead in contributing money, couldn't help but urge Xiong Xu impatiently. He couldn't wait to know how much money he could get.

“Little Secretary Xiong, we trust you, so you don't need to tell us so many statements.”

“Xu Zi, hurry up and distribute it. Ninth Uncle's heart is about to jump out.”

“Yo yo yo.”

When Xiong Da Niu urged him, the shareholders who were elders also urged him one after another.

Seeing this, Xiong Xu smiled lightly, and then stopped talking nonsense. He directly announced, “Then I won't waste any more time. We'll start directly. The people whose names I call below, please come to the stage to collect your money.”

The whole place immediately quieted down, and the air was filled with a tense and excited atmosphere.

“Xiong Da Niu, contributed 5,000 yuan during the fundraising process, holding 0.25% of the shares. The dividend due this time is 1.75 million yuan. After deducting individual income tax and advance payment funds, the final amount is 1.475 million yuan!”

Xiong Xu held the dividend details in his hand and read out the first name.

“Holy crap, 1.47 million!”

“Contributing 5,000 gets you a dividend of 1.47 million!”

“If I had known, I would have sold everything to contribute ten thousand.”

“Da Niu is rich.”

As Xiong Xu read out that Xiong Da Niu's dividend was 1.475 million, the quiet scene became noisy again. Everyone looked shocked, and their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

They had underestimated it. They originally thought it was a dividend of four or five hundred thousand, but they didn't expect that contributing 5,000 yuan could actually get you 1.475 million!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

While everyone was shocked and confused, most people also looked at Xiong Da Niu with envy.

And Xiong Da Niu himself was also flushed with excitement, and his whole person was also dumbfounded.

“1.47 million…”

“More than 1.4 million!”

Xiong Da Niu swallowed, unable to believe what his ears heard and his eyes saw.

One million four hundred thousand ah.

If he had to earn it himself, it would take his family at least fifteen years to earn it!

And how many fifteen years are there in a lifetime?

“Sixth Uncle, don't stand there blankly, come to the stage to collect your money.” Seeing Sixth Uncle's dumbfounded look on the podium, Xiong Xu was both amused and worried.

Mainly worried that Sixth Uncle would be too excited and suddenly collapse.
