Chapter 308: Chief, is he in a good mood today?
After Qiao Qingyu came back, he was so happy to see his sister that he kissed and hugged her.
Although he knew the reason for He Chu's abnormal behavior, he still had no feelings towards He Chu.
However, we still have to give people some respect and call them by their names. This is his upbringing.
Ten days before school started, Zuo Zixuan received a letter from Gu Manyun, asking her how the improvement of the vanishing cream formula was going.
If it weren't for this letter, Zuo Zixuan would have forgotten about this matter.
As I have nothing to do recently, I will prepare some for her and send them to her.
A total of thirty parts of water and cream were mixed.
When she sent it, she asked Mr. Yang to give her a certificate with the official seal of the research laboratory of the Academy of Military Science.
Only then could I send the things by express delivery.
In less than a week, Zuo Zixuan received a remittance slip for 600 yuan.
Gu Manyun called her and said that after she took the items away, she sold them to her relatives at 25 yuan each, for a total of 750 yuan.
She took 150 and remitted the rest to Zuo Zixuan.
She told Zuo Zixuan to make more and send them to her. Many people saw the good results and wanted some.
Zuo Zixuan thought, although this grasshopper is thin, it still has meat on it. Since someone wants it, she will just make it.
She collected 600 yuan, gave 200 to Mr. Yang, and used some laboratory materials and equipment to make skin care products.
Actually, I didn’t use much, only about twenty dollars worth of stuff at most.
For the second batch, she plans to make 100 sets of lotions and milks, and then a facial cleanser.
Before she had all the materials ready, she received a call from her boss, asking her to go to the office.
As soon as she sat down on the sofa, the big boss came over with a cigarette in his mouth and a few papers in his hand and sat opposite her. He put two papers on the table and pointed with his fingers.
"Someone reported you for speculation. Please explain yourself."
Zuo Zixuan picked up the two pieces of paper on the table, looked at them, and rolled her eyes.
One was the mailing stub for the lotion she mailed, and the other was the money order stub that Gu Manyun sent to her.
These people are really like toads on the feet. They don't bite people but just annoy them.
She sighed, placed the two papers on the table, and leaned back on the sofa.
"What's the explanation for this?"
"Oh, you are so speculative, and you don't even try to cover it up?
Isn't that a bit too crazy?"
The big leader said jokingly.
“Commander, these six hundred dollars won’t make me rich.
When we were in Dian City, we were taken care of by the sister in the guesthouse, so I made a few bottles of skin care water and facial cream for her relatives to thank them.
But they felt bad and insisted on giving me the capital.
I used materials worth more than 20 yuan from the laboratory, and I gave them to Yang Laoer. I didn’t eat all of it alone.”
The big boss said with a smile: "You didn't eat alone, but your laboratory ate alone."
"Then...if it really doesn't work, I will give you a hundred?" Zuo Zixuan asked tentatively.
"Just one hundred and you're done? At least one hundred and fifty."
Zuo Zixuan curled the corner of his mouth. After all the hard work, he only got a penny?
"Okay, okay, one hundred and fifty is one hundred and fifty..."
Zuo Zixuan took out fifteen Great Unity banknotes from his pocket and placed them on the table.
The big boss unceremoniously took the money and put it in his pocket.
"In the future, if you engage in speculation again, ask Mr. Yang to register you with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and pay taxes at a rate of 10% of the list price for each batch of products."
"No, Chief, isn't 10% too high?"
"Don't you need to operate in the middle of speculation? Ten percent is too little for me."
Zuo Zixuan looked at the leader with his mouth wide open in astonishment. This was blatant robbery.
She walked out of the central government's office building dejectedly. Uncle He and Su Dexiu were already waiting for her downstairs.
"Xuanxuan, how is it? What did the leader say?" Su Dexiu asked anxiously.
"I gave him 150 yuan and told him to pay 10% tax next time he ships.
In addition, the products must be printed with "Produced by the Academy of Military Science."
Zuo Zixuan said lazily and listlessly.
She definitely couldn't let Gu Manyun pay the 10% tax, the money had to come from her.
Apart from the materials and the wages of the lab colleagues, the leaders would take a cut, and the most that he would get was only about 35%.
He can't swallow it all by himself. He also needs to share it with the Su family, the Qiao family, the Ning family, Uncle He, and Bai Zongde.
In the end, I'm afraid I'll only have about 5%.
"This means that the leader has already tacitly agreed to this matter. Isn't this a good thing?" Su Dexiu said with a sigh of relief.
"Alas... all this was in vain..."
After saying that, he walked away dejectedly.
"Mr. He, even if she has to pay 10% tax, isn't she still making money? Why does she look a little unhappy?"
Su Dexiu looked at Zuo Zixuan's dejected back and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Uncle He shook his head with amusement, "I guess he feels he doesn't make enough money."
"Ninety percent, is that still too little?"
"Come on, let's go to her house for dinner tonight. There might be something good happening." Uncle He pulled Su Dexiu towards Zuo Zixuan's house.
After Zuo Zixuan returned home, she thought about it over and over again and felt something was not right, so she told her father about it.
After hearing this, Mr. Zuo made a profit-sharing plan for her.
“According to your calculation, the final amount you get is indeed only about 5%.
So, you can call Gu Manyun later and explain to her the matter of the big boss collecting taxes.
If she can sell more than a thousand copies a month, the tax will be paid by you.
If the sales are less than one thousand, then taxes will be deducted and then a commission will be taken.
Then, you can mobilize He Yi’s brothers in Zedu to sell it together.
Apart from Yunnan City, agents who are rapidly expanding into the national market will directly take a commission after deducting taxes.
If you want to build a national market, the few people in the laboratory are definitely not enough. They are doing medical research and it is definitely not appropriate for them to make cosmetics for you in the long term.
But you can encourage them to do research and development and give them bonuses based on their research and development results.
You also have to go to the leader to apply for a processing site for production.
Only when the volume increases, your profits will naturally increase.”
Zuo Zixuan thought about it, frowned and said, "The chief may not allocate a place for me."
"Don't worry, he'll agree.
If you want to legalize it, ask them to allocate you a piece of land in the Academy of Military Science for production.
The product comes from the Academy of Military Science and is named after it, so your production and sales are legal.
Although the salesperson may not be from the Academy of Military Science, he can be an employee of your cosmetics processing factory.
Moreover, once the cosmetics processing factory is built, how many workers will be needed to serve the families of military personnel and central government officials?
There is no unified fixed tax rate in this era, so avoid this item when writing your report.
The economy will be reformed next year, and then you can negotiate the tax rate and lower it.
But no matter whether it is reduced or not, you have to give the 10% to the country, and you can even give 5% more.
After all, the country has provided you with convenience, so it is only natural that you should contribute a little to the country's development."
Zuo Zixuan nodded. That was right. Only when the country was strong could they be worry-free no matter what project they were doing.
"My dear, I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of patriotism. You are awesome."
Uncle He's voice of praise came from outside the door.
"Hey, the boss and Secretary Su are here, come in and sit down."
Father Zuo greeted warmly.
"We're coming over for dinner tonight. Do you have extra food?"
"Hey, I'm not going to say it's very rich, but it's definitely enough to fill you up."
"Okay, we're not picky, as long as we can eat enough."
Father Zuo took Uncle He and Su Dexiu to the tea table and sat down to drink tea.
Zuo Zixuan said hello and went upstairs to write the application report.
In the evening, when the children and adults who are studying come back from school, they prepare to eat.
Even if there were no guests at home, Zuo Zixuan's family would always have two tables of food every day.
Eating used to be relatively peaceful, but ever since the twins learned to eat, eating has become like a war.
The children didn't quarrel, they just rushed to eat, each one eating more than the other.
Zuo Zixuan had originally planned to prepare some appetite whet for Dandan, but on the first day that girl arrived, she had a meal with the twins.
I learned to eat it with big mouthfuls. I didn't need any appetite whetters at all. My appetite was very good.
When I was at Grandma Zedu’s house, I didn’t eat this or that, but here I eat everything.
I cry at the slightest provocation at my grandma's house.
Here, if you fall, you can just get up by yourself and play the way you want.
The twins were also mean and naughty at first, and would bully her at every turn. Although she felt wronged, she just pouted and didn't fight back.
After a long time, perhaps the twins felt that she was too easy to bully and boring, so they stopped bullying her.
If I have anything good, I will take the initiative to share it with her.
After the meal, Zuo Zixuan announced the distribution of cosmetics shares and asked everyone to invest money.
Everyone has had no objection to Zuo Zixuan's decision.
It seems that it is distributed based on the family unit, but in fact it is all distributed to the children.
They are just keeping it for safekeeping.
The Su family agreed very straightforwardly.
The Ning family, Zuo Zixuan called them and told them.
Teacher Ning said that they paid the money, but all the shares belonged to Ning Rong and his wife.
Qiao family, He Chu called the school directly to ask Qiao Xinghua.
Qiao Xinghua let He Chu make her own decision and told her where the money was.
He Chu would definitely agree to pay the investment.
As for Bai Zongde, He Zhou made the decision on his own without asking anyone.
The next day, Zuo Zixuan took the report to see the boss.
The big boss looked through it, didn't ask any questions, and signed the application report very straightforwardly and handed it to Zuo Zixuan.
Zuo Zixuan took the report and looked at the leader in shock.
Are you so honest?
No problem at all?
The big boss looked at Zuo Zixuan's shocked expression and said with a smile:
"Why don't you go find Secretary Su to make arrangements?"
"Oh...oh...then, then I'm leaving!"
Zuo Zixuan pointed in the direction of the door with an uncertain look on her face.
"Go ahead..."
Zuo Zixuan walked out of the big boss's office, looking back every few steps.
As soon as she went out, she saw Su Dexiu standing at the door waiting for her.
"Uncle, is the commander in a good mood today?" Zuo Zixuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Su Dexiu smiled and nodded, "It's pretty good."
