Chapter 58

Sure enough, Zhou Buqi soon received a call from Manager Liu of the research institute.

"Brother, something has gone wrong."

"oh?"

"All the documents in the city have been sent to the research institute, saying that economic development is currently the center, while stability is the overriding priority. In the final analysis, economic stability is the top priority. It is required to reduce market contradictions and support the rise of local brands. At the same time, it cannot hurt the investment enthusiasm of foreign brands.”

Zhou Buqi knew it well, and asked with a smile: "So, pearl milk tea can't be criticized?"

Manager Liu said: "It's not that it can't be done. Occasionally, one or two private reports are harmless. But... how should I put it, after joining the WTO, the market economy must be fair. National brands must be self-improving, and they cannot rely too much on the official side. , do you understand what I mean?"

"So, no media will report on Yuanwei milk tea?"

"Uh, at least not in the near future. The magazine has been criticized. The scale of the article is a bit big, not fair and objective enough."

"That's it, do you still have the 5,000 magazines you ordered?"

"Yes! I asked, and the wholesale price is 3 yuan a copy."

Zhou Buqi sneered.

Manager Liu's vision is really small.

It is not a secret in the publishing industry. The wholesale price usually does not exceed 50% of the price, and sufficient profit margins must be left for the distributors. The magazine price of "China Food" is 4.5 yuan, and the ex-factory price is about 2 yuan.

Manager Liu still wants to make a small profit.

But Zhou Buqi didn't care.

The research institute did not charge for the research and development of the milk tea formula, so it paid for it with this money.

"That's fine, I won't issue any invoices, and I'll pick you up directly when the time comes." Zhou Buqi said with a smile.

"no problem!"

Manager Liu is very satisfied with his attitude.

After finishing the call, Zhou Buqi let out a long sigh.

Entrepreneurial road is really tortuous.

I wanted to keep a low profile, but suddenly I was about to become famous.

I thought it was going to be published on TV, but suddenly a notice came out and everything was cancelled.

Yuanwei milk tea is not suitable for public reporting, the subtext is to be on the internal list. As long as you follow President Hu's instructions and establish a positive image, you may be able to turn decay into magic and pave the way for future career development.

Well, it's a good thing!

The only trouble is, without public opinion, what will happen to the fruit supply chain of milk tea shops?

Zhou Buqi has nothing to do with those fruit merchants.

Forget it, let’s take one step at a time, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome.

The good news is that his money from selling the Reddit.com domain name has finally been approved.

$150,000!

According to the current exchange rate, it can be exchanged for 1.23 million.

More importantly, after several weeks of investigations, I found out that the current domain name business does not need to pay taxes.

Why not pay taxes?

It was not until 2017 that the country officially established domain names as legal assets. The legitimate rights and interests of domain name owners will be protected by law, and value-added tax will be charged for domain name transactions.

That is to say, in the current country, domain names are "illegal assets" and are not under the legal framework.

The domain name has been stolen, call the police? Sorry, the police will not accept it.

Similarly, domain name transactions are not included in tax planning.

Even if you pay taxes, how do you issue an invoice?

Issue illegal bills?

This is undoubtedly good news for Zhou Buqi.

"It's no wonder that domain names such as Cai Wensheng, Yao Jingbo, and Ding Haisen have made their fortunes early and became financially free. Domain name transactions do not pay taxes. If they really pay 20% or even 45% of income tax, it is estimated that the money they earn can even support them. Ten thousand domain names are not enough.”

Zhou Buqi went to the bank to do some operations, exchanged currency, and transferred from Bank of China to ICBC.

Then, he called the homeowner of Xuezhi Community.

"I don't want to rent the house anymore."

"Huh? Why?"

"I want to buy."

"Don't be kidding, then..."

"650,000, is it enough?"

...

Zhou Buqi called all the people from the Entrepreneurship Alliance together.

He wants to assign tasks.

However, before he could open his mouth, Liu Wenbo spoke first, and said with concern: "Boss Zhou, I heard that the supply chain problem has not been resolved yet?"

The corners of Zhou Buqi's eyes sank slightly, and he nodded, "Well, it's not easy to deal with the fruit merchants."

Liu Wenbo said: "This is not possible. Beike and Bili have almost finished the decoration. Beiwai is slowing down, but it is working overtime. It is estimated that it will be completed by the end of the month. This is about to open, and the supply chain needs to be completed." Solve it quickly!"

Meng Houkun, who was sitting on the right, suddenly said, "Boss Zhou and I are dealing with it."

Liu Wenbo sighed, shook his head, and said solemnly: "Time waits for no one! Otherwise, leave this matter to me?"

Meng Houkun's expression was very displeased.

What do you mean by that?

You want to take over the things that Boss Zhou and I haven't settled?

Isn't this telling everyone that your ability is stronger than me and Boss Zhou?

Is this a provocation?

Zhou Buqi didn't seem to care, and smiled, "That's unnecessary, I have already contacted you."

"Contacted?" Liu Wenbo was slightly taken aback, very surprised.

Meng Houkun's heart skipped a beat.

He ran with Boss Zhou for two days and was as tired as a dog.

If Boss Zhou could solve it, he would have done it long ago. Do we need to wait until now?

Is this a dead end?

It seems that managing a business team is also very worrying and complicated. When I go home, I have to find an opportunity to communicate and study with my dad.

"Okay, this matter is over. I called everyone here today because I have a task to arrange."

Zhou Buqi made a downward gesture, which attracted everyone's attention, and said slowly: "As far as I know, except for the dance academy, other schools have a National Day party. Zi'an, you have presided over the work of the school's student union for many years. , Tell me, if you want to sponsor this evening, how much money do you need?"

Ji Zi'an said: "It doesn't take much. On the side of the National People's Congress, 1,000 yuan can pull up a banner. Other schools should be similar."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "The evening parties are mostly held at night, and the banners with red background and white characters are hung up, and the influence is limited."

Ji Zian said in surprise, "Boss Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I want to put up a big signboard of Yuanwei milk tea in the most eye-catching place of the party. Moreover, there must be lights, and reflective materials are also fine. It must be eye-catching and dazzling."

Ji Zian lost his voice: "That will cost a lot of money! The cost will be at least 3,000 yuan!"

"This expenditure, it should be." Zhou Buqi looked calm.

Liu Wenbo couldn't believe it, "Even if the dance academy is not counted, the other nine schools... Boss Zhou, where did you get so much money?"

This is normal, everyone looks worried.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I said, I will solve the problem of funding. Moreover, it is not nine universities. In this way, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University, plus three schools of Beijing University of Technology, Beijing University of Science and Technology, and Beijing Foreign Studies University, will organize this kind of university. Scene. For other schools, simply sponsor and put up a banner with meaning.”

"We don't have people from Tsinghua University." Liu Wenbo didn't understand Zhou Buqi's deep meaning.

Zhou Buqi said: "After all, Tsinghua University is the top university, so go advertise first. That's enough, this matter is settled like this, Zi'an, Tsinghua University will be entrusted to you to operate, is there any problem?"

Ji Zi'an said: "As long as the funds are in place, at least...at least 5,000 yuan."

"No problem!" Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Senior Sister Zhen, send me your bank account number later, and I will transfer the money to you, and then you can make arrangements."

Zhen Yu was slightly taken aback, a little in disbelief.

She is in her second year of graduate school this year, five years older than Zhou Buqi, and she is studying at the University of Finance and Economics far away. Coupled with various personal reasons, she usually doesn't get along well with others.

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly given a heavy responsibility.

Is this about managing finances?

"Senior Sister Zhen?"

Zhou Buqi looked at her with a smile.

Zhen Yu bit her lip and took a deep breath, "If you trust me, I'll do it for you."

Zhou Buqi said: "Senior Sister Zhen, we are a team, of course I believe you. I found that you seem to have very little communication with everyone. What's on your mind? You have been depressed all the time, and you don't know what I said is right. No. Take this opportunity to communicate more with everyone, maybe you can relax? We are still young, so what are the obstacles we can't pass?"

Zhen Yu's eyes were red, and tears almost flowed down.
