Chapter 25 Entrepreneurship
According to Kang Jiazheng's suggestion, Kang Jiawei first examined the feasibility of several initially planned investment projects one by one, and then through comparative analysis, finally selected his old firm "house beauty", including the design, construction and construction of house decoration.
Business of decoration materials. After the project was confirmed, Kang Jiawei was worried about a series of tasks in setting up the company.
The first is the naming of the company. Kang Jiawei prepared several names in advance, such as Tucheng, Tiantang House Design and Decoration Company, etc., but he always felt that the meaning was not profound enough or too vulgar and unattractive. When he told these names to Du Manlin, Du Manlin was stunned.
They also felt the same, either frowning or shaking their heads. So the two of them lowered their heads and thought deeply. After a while, Du Manlin said: "How about calling it 'Jiaman New Era Housing Decoration Materials Co., Ltd.'?"
Kang Jiawei thought for a while and said with a smile: "This name is quite nice. It is bold, novel and has a sense of the times. Jiaman, taking one word in each of your and my names reflects the equality of husband and wife and working together. The new era reflects advancing with the times.
The decoration and materials match the company theme. OK, let’s use this name as the company name.”
The name was decided, and the next step was to select the company's location. Du Manlin and Kang Jiawei came to the Gurong Industrial Park Management Committee in Sanhuali away from the county seat. The person who received them was a lady in her thirties with a charming face. When Kang Jiawei informed her
When asked about the purpose of her visit, the lady immediately asked: "Are you a foreign company or a local company?"
Kang Jiawei asked: "Is there a difference?"
The lady said: "The difference is huge! Foreign companies have enjoyed many preferential policies since they settled in Tucheng, including discounts on a series of expenses related to company construction, especially tax exemptions after the company operates."
Du Manlin asked: "How to distinguish foreign companies from local companies? Is there a standard for differentiation?"
The lady did not answer her question, but was concerned about her identity: "Are you Du Manlin?"
"Yeah, how do you know me?"
"A year ago, you almost died for love. Many people were moved by you. Many lovers and couples who were on the verge of breaking up got back together after hearing your story. I am your beneficiary."
"Really? I didn't expect that a fake show could have such a big effect."
The lady became enthusiastic, offering seats and tea. Seeing that she was the only staff member left in the office, she quietly said to Du Manlin: "Let me tell you, here we only have one standard for distinguishing foreign and local companies. Look,
Is the investor a foreigner or a local? If you two come forward and say that it is a local enterprise, I will give you a suggestion. Find a relative, friend or classmate from other places and invest in setting up a factory in his name. This will become a foreign company.
Enterprises are waiting for discounts."
Du Manlin was worried: "What if we are discovered?"
The lady said: "No one knows if you don't tell me. As long as the review is passed at the beginning, who will care about it in the future."
"Then, can it pass the review?" Du Manlin asked.
"As long as you pay a risk fee of 30,000 yuan, you will pass." The woman's voice was very low, so low that nothing could be heard beyond one step.
Du Manlin knew the unspoken rules of encounter. She looked at Kang Jiawei, who had a gloomy face and shook his head slightly. She understood and said, "Thank you for your advice. Thirty thousand yuan is not a small amount for us start-ups. Besides, we
It's a joint-stock company, so we have to discuss it with the shareholders. Give us some time, and I'll come back to you when the decision is made."
The lady nodded, pressed Du Manlin's shoulders again, and whispered: "The fewer people who know about the 30,000 yuan, the better. If more people know, if it is leaked, the matter will be ruined."
Du Manlin smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
The lady smiled awkwardly.
After Du Manlin and Kang Jiawei left the management committee, they walked around several avenues in the park and then returned to Du's house. This was the second time they went to Du's house after returning from Guangdong. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning, and Du
Father and mother Du had just returned home from closing their stall at the farmer's market. Kang Jiawei was carrying two large bags of fruit and felt a little out of breath. When he arrived at the door of the house, he bumped into Father Du who was going out carrying an empty vegetable basket.
"Dad, are you going to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables?" Du Manlin reached out and grabbed the vegetable basket, "You rest, I'll go!"
Father Du opened her hand and said, "It's a newly opened vegetable garden. You don't know it. You and Jiawei have a rest while I go and come back." He looked back as he walked.
Du's mother heard Du Manlin's voice, chased her out of the kitchen, stood at the door and shouted: "By the way, I went to the vegetable market and brought back some meat."
"I know." Du's father's voice came faintly.
"Mom, do you really treat Jiawei and me as distinguished guests?" Du Manlin said coquettishly.
"You haven't seen Jiawei with a big bag in his pocket. If I don't treat him well, if you don't say anything, you must be unbalanced in your heart." Mother Du glanced at Kang Jiawei and said with a half-smile.
Kang Jiawei knew that Du Mu was teasing him, so he forced a smile and put the fruit on the big coffee table in the living room. At this moment, Du Manlang rushed in with his schoolbag on his back, called his brother-in-law and sister, picked up a bag of fruit and went to
Go to your room.
Du Mu glared at him and stretched out her hand to pull him. Unexpectedly, the man did not catch it, but caught his schoolbag. Du Manlang simply threw down his schoolbag, ran into the room with the fruit, and closed the door hard with his backhand.
"Manlin, look, this is your brother. The older he gets, the more he looks like a child." Mother Du looked dumbfounded.
Du Manlin smiled brightly, took the schoolbag from Du's mother, and put it on the coffee table. Kang Jiawei pushed open Du Manlang's door, and Du Manlang pulled him into the room and gently closed the door.
Du Mu said: "Jiawei knows how to protect him. No wonder Manlang makes trouble every day to see him."
Du Manlin said: "My brother-in-law likes my brother-in-law, and it is only natural for my brother-in-law to love my brother-in-law!"
"Don't talk about him, let's talk about you and Jiawei. I came here today to have something to do with mom. No matter what, we can wait until after dinner. Otherwise, it will be in vain."
"Okay, just do as mom says."
The mother and daughter entered the kitchen one after another, and soon there was a very rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables.
The lunch was very sumptuous. It could be said that it was the most sumptuous meal since Kang Jiawei married Du Manlin. Perhaps, in the eyes of others, a meal could mean nothing no matter how rich or frugal it was. But as far as Du Mu was concerned, the differences on the dinner table exactly reflected the
The status of a eater in her mind. Ever since Kang Jiawei became the vice president in Guangzhou, he seemed to have changed in the eyes of Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du would brag to everyone she met, saying that our son-in-law is so capable. He just went there
He became the deputy general manager in Guangzhou. Now I heard that he was going to return to Tucheng to invest in a factory and become the boss, and he was even more impressed. This can be seen from the richness of the lunch.
After the meal, Du's mother called Du Manlin and Kang Jiawei to the living room before she could wash up, and straight to the point she said a lot: "Tell me the truth, do you have insufficient funds to set up a factory and need me to help you? I'll tell you clearly, I'll give you the funds."
Yes, and it can be given to you, but you must fulfill the loan procedures. If you borrow, you must repay it, and if you lend, you must pay interest."
Kang Jiawei asked with interest: "Mom, how much can you lend me?"
"How much do you want?"
"I need as much as you can lend me."
"That's not a bad tone. I'll lend you 10 million, do you dare to ask for it?"
"dare."
Du Manlin pretended to be surprised: "Mom, do you really have 10 million?"
Du's mother looked at Du's father, and Du's father answered: "I don't have any cash, but I changed hands with a piece of land last year. It is said that it is worth 1,000 to 8 million."
Du Manlin became interested: "Where is it?"
Father Du said: "Gurong Industrial Park Phase II."
Kang Jiawei was very excited: "That's great. Dad, Mom, I have a suggestion. You two can use land as shares to co-found Jiaman New Era Housing Decoration Materials Co., Ltd. with us. From now on, you will be shareholders of the company and participate in company management and benefit sharing.
."
Father Du waved his hand: "You can just use the land. When you make enough money, you can pay for the land. As for the establishment of the company, management, shareholders, dividends, etc., forget it. I have nothing to do with you young people. Anyway, I
You and your mother are too old to do this anymore."
Unexpectedly, Du's mother disapproved. She frowned, pointed at Du's father and cursed: "You must be old and confused, you can't move, don't you still have Manlang?"
Du's father said: "Manlang is still young, so he doesn't know about the business."
Du Mu glared at him: "Xiao, are you going to be a kid all your life? We have worked hard all our lives, but in the end we just have that piece of land. If you sell it, what will Manlang do in the future? Let's let Manlang invest in the land. The shareholders are
Manlang, all the income goes to Manlang. I have long seen that Manlang is not good at studying. If he fails to pass the high school, I will let him work with Jiawei as soon as possible. However, there is one thing I must make clear. Although Manlang
He is a shareholder, but is not currently involved in company affairs. Therefore, before Manlang joins the company, the company can only use the land in the form of lease."
Kang Jiawei nodded and said, "I completely respect mom's opinion."
Du Manlin leaned towards Du's mother and said, half seriously and half jokingly: "Mom is so partial, even if I pay 10 million yuan, I won't give any land to my daughter."
Du Mu gently licked her finger and said, "Your conscience is feeding the dog. I asked you to build the company on my land, and you still said that I was partial. Are you wronging me?"
Kang Jiawei said: "Mom, Manlin teased you on purpose. She is very happy!"
"Are you not happy when she is happy? When you go back to your hometown to start a business and you don't have the money, they give you money. If you don't have any land to build a factory, they give you land. You take advantage of all the good things. Are you still not happy?"
"Mom, speaking of being happy, there's really one thing I'm not happy about."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Mom, I haven't heard of it. Foreign companies can enjoy many preferential policies in Tucheng, but local companies can't enjoy anything."
Du Mu smiled coldly: "It's not easy to become a foreign-owned enterprise. Just call your brothers from Guangzhou back and invest in setting up a factory in their name."
"But a female comrade from the industrial park management committee said that the review is very strict, but as long as you pay a risk fee of 30,000 yuan, you are guaranteed to be fine and pass the test."
"She has a good idea. These corrupt elements are omnipresent and use the power in their hands to enrich their own pockets." Mother Du said with a righteous look, "She wants it, but I won't give it to her. We don't want any foreign-owned enterprises, since we are in Tucheng.
People, then let’s run a company owned by Tucheng people in a decent manner under the banner of Tucheng people. We would rather give money to the country than to those corrupt elements.”
"Mom and I have thought about it together. Since we are starting a business, we should be open and honest. We will not do such things for the sake of a small discount, or even encourage corruption." Du Manlin was obviously a little unsure when she said this, "But, people
I’ve asked you for it, but if you don’t give it, I’m afraid we’ll have many obstacles that we won’t be able to overcome in the future.”
"Yes, I'm worried that in the future, when the company is launched, they will come to find trouble for you, asking you to rectify today and close down tomorrow, which will make you restless." Kang Jiawei said with a gloomy expression.
Du Mu raised her eyebrows and glared, and slammed the table: "I still don't believe it, I can't suppress the evil. Tomorrow you two and I will go to the county magistrate. If the county magistrate supports it, no matter what, we will take root in Tucheng and blossom.
