Chapter 194 Mingzhou Yifan Company and Human Delivery
After the greetings, Li Xiaofan asked: "Sister Xiumei, have you collected the samples for the American supermarket chain and the NTUC Affordable Cooperative in Singapore?"
"Afan, according to the address you gave, the samples for the American supermarket chain were shipped out yesterday. The samples for the Singapore NTUC Affordable Cooperative are now in the storage room of my dormitory. Do you want to see them?"
"No need for now, I will talk to you about some specific details of our cooperation now..."
"Well, Afan, you have to say it first, and I will listen."
"Sister Xiumei, we have already exchanged some things on the phone before, so I won't repeat them. This time I rushed back, firstly, to bring back these samples for Singapore NTUC Affordable Cooperative. There is also another thing The thing is, we'd better hurry up and register an international trade company today. Now I heard that there are policies in the Minzhou Free Trade Zone. It's very convenient to register an international trade company. Then export customs declaration, tax refund and other procedures can be unified through the platform company agent in the Free Trade Zone, right? ?”
"Yes, the current investment policies in the Mingzhou Free Trade Zone are very favorable and very strong. Nowadays, many international trade companies are registered virtually in the Free Trade Zone and enjoy preferential policies, but their real offices are all in the city. Affan, you are here How come Singapore knows so much about the situation here?" Wu Xiumei asked curiously.
"Haha, I have a junior high school classmate who is also a classmate of Xiuli. He is currently engaged in investment promotion work for the Free Trade Zone Management Committee..."
"Oh, no wonder!"
"Sister Xiumei, how much is your monthly income now?"
"It's about six hundred yuan, plus some bonuses at the end of the year, it's about ten thousand yuan..."
"Sister Xiumei, I have an idea. You might as well resign now and work with me! I just went to the Free Trade Zone Management Committee. The Mingzhou Free Trade Zone has taken the lead in liberalizing import and export rights to private foreign trade companies. Now your state-owned The monopoly of foreign trade companies has been broken, and now is a great time to start a business. I think you’d better start a business with me as soon as possible!”
"Afan, I think so too, but I am a weak woman who needs resources but no resources, and money but no money. How can I start a business?"
"Don't worry about this. Listen to my idea first. In this way, we will go to the bonded zone today to register an international trading company with a registered capital of 500,000. I will be the major shareholder and hold 95% of the shares, leaving 5% for you. I will lend you the registered capital of RMB 25,000 that you should have paid for the shares first, and we will talk about it later.”
Li Xiaofan continued: "In addition, I will give you a basic salary of 1,000 yuan per month. Bonuses will be calculated based on performance and profits, and dividends will be distributed based on shares at the end of the year. If the company's business does well, I will set up an equity incentive mechanism to reward you next year." you……"
Wu Xiumei was a little excited after hearing this: "Then will you have to work in a bonded area so far away in the future?"
"No, we will work in the city like other companies. After the company is registered, you can quickly find a suitable office space and I will give you the cost. In addition, you can recruit a financial staff and an assistant to help you run errands. The three of us will do it first!”
"Afan, why are you so anxious?" Wu Xiumei asked curiously.
"Sister Xiumei, what was the foreign trade export data of the entire Mingzhou last year?"
"It has exceeded one billion US dollars..."
"It is likely to exceed 10 billion US dollars in six or seven years. If after my country joins the WTO, and European and American countries cancel quota restrictions on textiles and other exports to our country, this data will continue to grow explosively! After I went to the bonded zone, I suddenly felt We can’t wait any longer, we must speed up to seize the opportunity, and take a big bite out of the big cake of foreign trade exports!”
"Afan, what you said seems to make sense, but the key is the customer..."
"Sister Xiumei, have you ever told Yahoo?"
Wu Xiumei shook her head: "I don't know..."
"Yahoo is an Internet company and a search engine website in Silicon Valley. I placed ads on it at the beginning of the month, and the results were very good! The two previous customers, the supermarket chain customer in the United States and the NTUC FairPrice Co-operative in Singapore, both came from Yahoo! From the advertising, I have a hunch that we may have more and more customers, and the biggest bottleneck for us in the future may be our supply capacity!”
"So, Sister Xiumei, I hope you will make up your mind to resign and work with me. I have many plans later, and I have to play a big game! Immediately, after May 1st, Mingzhou Telecom can also open the Internet Once the business is completed, our new company office can open this business immediately. At that time, we can directly send the cargo information to the webpage created for us by Yahoo, or on the website we set up directly!”
"Sister Xiumei, I have a hunch that if we run well, the number of people in our new company may exceed one hundred by next year!"
Wu Xiumei was very excited listening to Li Xiaofan's eloquent speech, but when Li Xiaofan talked about the Internet, it felt like listening to a book from heaven.
Seeing that Wu Xiumei was a little hesitant and undecided, Li Xiaofan said: "Sister Xiumei, either we go to the bonded area to register the new company now and then resign, or we wait until the order from the United States or Singapore is confirmed. ?”
"Well, that's okay too..."
After leaving Qingfeng Tea House, Li Xiaofan took Wu Xiumei to the Bank of China in Chenghuang Temple and exchanged 90,000 Singapore dollars from his old friend Ah Liu, a scalper at the door. The exchange rate was 90,000 Singapore dollars for 10,000 RMB.
[Li Xiaofan's previous balance of Singapore dollars was 427,000 yuan. After exchanging 90,000, there was still 337,000 Singapore dollars left]
On the way to the Free Trade Zone Management Committee in a taxi, Wu Xiumei sighed: "This is the first time I have seen a large denomination of 10,000 Singapore dollars in cash. It's really eye-opening! Ah Fan, you have just been in Singapore for less than a year. How did you make this money? Is it so easy to make money working in Singapore?"
"The first pot of gold was earned by buying Wanzi tickets, and then by doing sunglasses business. Sister Xiumei, I feel that the potential of foreign trade business is too great, and it is worth our in-depth exploration. Especially after using the Internet, there will be a qualitative leap..."
Li Xiaofan continued to persuade Wu Xiumei along the way
After seeing Li Xiaofan casually take out nine new currency notes and exchange them for 500,000 RMB, Wu Xiumei began to be really tempted: she only earns about 10,000 RMB a year in her current foreign trade company. If she works with Li Xiaofan, she can guarantee a basic salary of 12,000 RMB, bonuses, and shares...
That afternoon, Li Xiaofan and Wu Xiumei went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of the bonded area to handle the industrial and commercial registration procedures. The name was pre-approved as "Mingzhou Yifan Industry and Trade Co., Ltd.". The registered capital is 500,000 RMB, and the share ratio is 95% for Li Xiaofan and 5% for Wu Xiumei.
The next day, with the help of Zhang Weiye, the business license of Mingzhou Yifan Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. was obtained in advance, the capital verification procedures were completed, and tax registration and other procedures were handled.
The next day was Saturday, which happened to be the time for the on-site job fair of the Mingzhou Talent Market. Li Xiaofan and Wu Xiumei interviewed several candidates together.
In the afternoon, Li Xiaofan rushed to Shanghai, and then rented an office, recruited people, and other miscellaneous matters were thrown to Wu Xiumei.
On Sunday morning, Li Xiaofan departed from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport on an Eastern Airlines flight, carrying two large boxes of daily plastic product samples prepared by Wu Xiumei back to Singapore. On Monday morning, Li Xiaofan asked Tang Xinyi to help him deliver the samples directly to Yang Yonghui, head of the procurement department of NTUC FairPrice Cooperative.
