Chapter 311: It's not as simple as following the trend
Back in his dormitory at Harvard University, Zhou Ming immediately found Li Yang and asked him: "I remember you told me last night that you also opened a dormitory convenience store on the side of the Adams Building, right?
Li Yang nodded and said, "That's right, teacher, I was also about to tell you about this, I went to check over there today, and found that it was done by a person named Brooke." ”
Zhou Mingxin said that this is indeed the case, Zhou Ming has actually been thinking about this matter since he came back from the ladder building, just because of Danny's last sentence of "premonition or knowing", Zhou Ming does not think that Danny's words are groundless, he must know something, and he thinks about it, and the only thing that can be related to the company is the dormitory convenience store project.
Because strictly ===m dormitory convenience store project is a legal sideshow, the United States is a free country, where a legal business is allowed to run any business you can think of, but at the same time, it is a country with extremely strict control over business, and any business activity must be under the supervision of the law, especially in the area of taxation.
There are two jokes, that is, the most authoritative intelligence department in the United States should be the tax department, because no matter where a new company is opened, he will know it as soon as possible, even if there is no notice. Another is that when a company pays taxes, then when the company has a fire, the fire brigade will quickly dispatch to fight the fire, and when you do not pay taxes, then the fire brigade will rush to the scene to open champagne to celebrate.
Although this is a joke, it is also a good illustration of the attitude of the U.S. government towards business activities, and the same is true of the dormitory convenience store on campus.
However, because the dormitory convenience store is on campus, it is a convenience organization set up by students spontaneously, and it can be covered up with the signboard of the student group, so that the tax department will not come to the door, let alone report to the relevant agencies in the United States for approval, which will save a lot of operating costs and create such high profits.
But this is a gray area after all, if nothing happens, it's fine, in case something happens, it's very troublesome, after all, you are not subject to legal supervision, then the law will naturally not protect you.
Now Brooke has created another dormitory convenience store project in another dormitory building, Adams Building, if it were someone else, Zhou Ming would think that he was just following the trend, but Brooke, he was the one who made up the tie in Huang Yi's case at the beginning, and he followed so closely to build another dormitory convenience store, his purpose would definitely not be as simple as following the trend.
Zhou Ming couldn't judge what he was going to do, after all, he had only been in the United States for a long time, and he couldn't play with the legal rules of the United States, so he couldn't think about it at all.
Zhou Ming thinks that all he can do now is to find a way to make himself legally standing.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming immediately called his lawyer Allen and told him about his current situation, and asked him at the same time: "Is there a way for my dormitory convenience store to be hung on the company's side and protected by the law, and at the same time not out of my control?"
Allen thought for a while and replied: "I think it may be like this, Zhou Ming, you first invest in Wharton Company, and sign a temporary agreement with Wharton, so that you are one of the shareholders of Wharton Company and have the leading power of the company's business, and then you can exercise your power to incorporate your dormitory convenience store project into the company's operation." ”
After speaking, Allen added: "But I must remind Mr. Zhou Ming that this way is only theoretically feasible, but in practice there will be a lot of risks, because Mr. Zhou Ming, you have suddenly become a shareholder of the company from the identity of an acquirer, and at this time, once Wharton regrets not selling the company, things will be very troublesome." ”
Zhou Ming pondered for a moment and said: "I understand, just ask Lawyer Allen to help me make this agreement, I need to invest in Wharton Company as soon as possible, and then include the dormitory convenience store." ”
"Now that you have made a decision, Mr. Zhou Ming, I can only say that I am willing to serve you. Allen said.
Zhou Ming thanked Allen, then hung up the phone and said to Li Yang: "You sort out the accounts of the dormitory convenience store as soon as possible, and prepare to be included in my new company at any time." ”
Li Yang nodded and said yes, and then immediately went to do it, but before leaving, he left the last sentence to Zhou Ming that gave Zhou Ming a headache: "Teacher, you haven't been to class for several days, Teacher Zyra is very dissatisfied with you, she said that she will deduct your credits and make you unable to complete your studies." ”
In fact, it is normal to be deducted credits for absenteeism without reason, but Zhou Ming's headache lies in the fact that Zyra, the teacher, may not be simply because of school discipline and school rules.
Meanwhile, in the Anderson Building, a Harvard dormitory on the other side of the Charles River, Zyra was lying in her bed, irritable.
Zyra, who attended the Foundation meeting in the morning, was very sleepy and wanted to take a nap at noon, but she found that she couldn't sleep at all when she lay in bed, for the simple reason that the Foundation was talking about the dormitory convenience store phenomenon that had exploded in the recent explosion.
"This damn Zhou Ming, hateful Chinese, wouldn't it be good for you to study on campus, why did you make a dormitory convenience store out of plain water? Isn't my mentor so unattractive to you? And you have to keep a low profile, and make such good results, so that the school's foundation will take this project out as an agenda item to discuss." ”
Zyra muttered and sat up, and slammed the bed several times with her pink fist, and finally she couldn't stand it and got out of bed to pour a glass of water to drink.
Zhou Ming would really cry and laugh if he knew Zyra's muttering, because what he did was good or wrong.
But when she came to the table, Zyra suddenly found the attendance sheet she had placed on the table, and her eyes were fixed on Zhou Ming's name at a glance.
"Absent from class for no reason, did this guy come to the school to rent a house? Why has he hardly come to a few classes since then except for the first day of school, he is even more than those boys, and he doesn't know how to respect the teacher at all!"
Zyra scolded Zhou Ming bitterly, but when she scolded to the last sentence, she suddenly remembered that in the corridor that day, Zhou Ming forced herself to the edge of the wall and suddenly bit her earlobe.
Jiela subconsciously reached out and touched her earlobe, and suddenly felt a tingling sensation coming, which made her shiver unconsciously, and the two slender legs that were close together rubbed each other, and scolded in her mouth: "This Zhou Ming is really the most hated villain in the world!"
After scolding Zhou Ming, Zyra seemed to feel a little depressed, so she went over and opened the window, but when she opened the window, she suddenly heard a shout from below.
"Damn Chinese, I'll make him pay the price, let him know that I, Brooke, am not so easy to mess with!"
"That's right, those yellow-skinned bastards only deserve to stay in the dirty and messy slums, and it was the biggest mistake of Headmaster Lawrence to admit them, Brooke, you must teach him a lesson!"
Zyra followed the voice and looked down, there were several students gathered there, one of whom Zyra also knew, that was Brooke, the worst student at Harvard, because his father was a senator from Massachusetts, and he had a lot of influence in the entire state, so Harvard acquiesced that as long as he didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, no one would care about him.
Originally, such a student would not care according to Zyra's personality, but she heard what they were talking about Chinese.
This made Jiela's heart freak, because isn't Zhou Ming a Chinese? Could it be that they are talking about Zhou Ming?
Zyra didn't know, so he pricked up his ears and tried to listen calmly.
"Zhou Ming, this guy is a bastard, but his idea is still very good, just like those bare-assed yellow-skinned little bitches in the nightclub, we followed him to open a dormitory convenience store, and sure enough, he made a lot of money!" said Brooke's friend.
Hearing this, Zyra nodded silently, Zhou Ming's dormitory convenience store project does have strong operability, otherwise the Foundation would not have discussed him, but he didn't expect Brooke to follow the trend and get a convenience store, it seems that although he doesn't learn and likes to get into trouble, this idea is still there, but his convenience store will definitely not be able to do it like Zhou Ming.
"What's the use of making that little money?" said Brooke, "do you know how much money that Colander College convenience store makes? According to the inside information I got, he made more than $30,000 on the first day of opening, and it was still a pure profit. ”
In fact, Zyra had already learned the news when she attended the Foundation's meeting, but now she felt very proud to hear Brooke talk about it: Zhou Ming is a surprise to everyone, these little guys are frightened by Zhou Ming's powerful earning ability, right?
But Zyra didn't expect that what Brooke said next would surprise her.
"$30,000 isn't a lot, but it's a lot, and my father taught me that if you want to do something, you have to be the first," Brooke said. ”
"Do you want us to exceed the Chinese's convenience store income?" Brooke's friend asked, "but he was the first to open, and through the previous drinking party, people have a preconceived concept, and it may be difficult for us to come in now to surpass him." ”
"I didn't say that I have to surpass him now, as long as I can make my convenience store the first at Harvard, the money will naturally come. Brooke said.
This made Zyra feel a little confused: no more than Zhou Ming, how can he make his convenience store the first in Harvard?
Suddenly, Zyra thought of a terrible possibility, that is, to use means to take out Zhou Ming's convenience store, there is only one convenience store, isn't he the first?
Does Brooke want to use some despicable means? This seems to be in line with his usual style, so should I tell Zhou Ming?
This question bothered Zyra, she thought that Zhou Ming was a hateful guy anyway, and it would be good to let him eat Brooke's losses, whoever made him so hateful, and treated himself like that, he should be punished!
But at the same time, Zyra was a little entangled, because she felt that although Zhou Ming was hateful, it was still within an acceptable range, but Brooke's guy was really bad, and Brooke would definitely not deal with Zhou Ming with legitimate means, most of it was a disgusting move, as a Harvard business school teacher, he had the obligation to stop this kind of thing from happening.
When Zyra was entangled, Brooke's group downstairs had already left, looking at the back of their departure, Zyra made up her mind, she turned around and went back to the room to pick up the phone and dialed a number: "Is it a Chinese dormitory?" I am your mentor Zyra, I have something to find Zhou Ming...... classmate."
