Chapter XXIII Companies, Brothers, and Shares

Li Yifan saw that everyone had no objections, so he continued, "The third thing, and the most important thing today, I discussed with Brother Dong and prepared to set up a company to specialize in sales." Now we are in the name of the manufacturer's distribution department in the market, there is no restriction on the manufacturer, if the manufacturer does not supply us now, or there is a third-party company and the manufacturer signed a sales contract, we will be empty. ”

Li Yifan paused for a moment, and then said, "This situation is controlled by others, not good, and it is not conducive to us to make the market bigger, if we have a company of our own, we can sign an underwriting contract with the manufacturer, so that the supply of goods is firmly in our own hands." It's up to us to decide what we do in the future. What do you say?"

"Yifan, your idea is very good. Now this kind of petty fight is really not good, it can be said that it is not safe. But there's a question that you've thought about? That is, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau does not allow private individuals to set up companies. Li Xiangdong said.

"That is, some time ago, I heard my dad come home and say that there was a young man in their agency who wanted to go to the sea to open a company, but the industrial and commercial bureau did not issue a business license, saying that the main body of the company could only be state-owned or collective. For example, the Nanjie Pharmacy that you rented to us is a collective enterprise, which is run by a labor service company under the Provincial Pharmaceutical Company. Chen Gang continued Li Xiangdong's words.

Li Yifan only understood when he heard it, indeed he ignored this matter, in this era, the surname Z or the surname S is still a very serious big issue, and no one dares to open this mouth to private enterprises.

Although since 1984, from the central to the local government, there has been a trend of large-scale companies. However, the main body of the establishment is still the ZF department, factories, schools, mass organizations and other state-owned enterprises and institutions. Even if it was a smash hit at that time, the fool mentioned by Deng Gong's southern tour was not private, but also affiliated with the ZF organ, and he also suffered a lawsuit for this.

In 1988, an engineer surnamed Wang and his companion in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, wanted to use their communication technology expertise to establish a private science and technology enterprise. In the climate of the time, it was not easy to start a private enterprise. They had no choice but to borrow the "red hats" of collective ownership and use them to register their enterprises.

However, the attitude of the affiliated department is very clear: the newly established communication technology company in Hangzhou must be self-funded, operated independently, and responsible for its own profits and losses. At that time, in order to start a business, people could only find a "mother-in-law" for themselves to rely on, attached to a certain unit or enterprise, and obtain a collective business license, but the affiliated unit did not care about capital and production and operation, and in essence it was still an individual private operation.

Li Yifan thought of this, and suddenly had a headache, "It seems that I still think about the problem simply, if you want to start a company, you have to find a mother-in-law for yourself, but in this way, there will be endless troubles! If we lose money in the future, it's okay, anyway, we run it ourselves, and we will be responsible, but if we make money, especially if we make a lot of money, there will be many problems, and the policy risk will be high." ”

"That's the only way to go, the market waits for no one. The lesser of two evils, we first find a competent unit, the company's license down, first the source of goods and the market to occupy, other problems are temporarily put aside, through technical means to deal with, and so on in the future when the policy is loosened, we will change the registration to make it legal. What do you think?" Li Yifan put forward a solution after careful consideration.

"I think it's okay, I can't just wait, and I don't eat when I look at the big fat in the pot. Isn't there a saying that just says, if there are conditions, you must go up, and if you don't have conditions, you must also go up. Li Xiangdong echoed.

"Now we can only do this, let's find a good mother-in-law first, don't choose an enterprise, it is best to be a grassroots ** organ, and it will be relatively easy to decouple in the future! My father has a classmate who works in the central district of the city, it seems to be a director, I will go home and ask, see if I can get in touch. Chen Gang continued.

"Okay, Gangzi, you go home first to find out, I'll also go home and discuss with my dad, ask him if he has a way, we need to get this matter done as soon as possible, besides, it seems that your uncle works in the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce?" Li Yifan asked.

"My second uncle is the director of the office of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, so let's be useful to him?" Chen Gang replied.

"Yes, advertising and market supervision are under the jurisdiction of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, we will mainly deal with the local industrial and commercial departments in the future, if we want to sell oral liquid smoothly without interference, we must coordinate them. Brother Dong, you take up the work of him, first practice from the line of Gangzi's second uncle, and then go to other cities in the future, and you will know what to do. ”

"Okay, Yifan, Gangzi, let's take some time to sit down with the second uncle in a day or two, learn from the second uncle, and let the second uncle help introduce the person in charge of the regulatory department and make an appointment to have a meal together. Li Xiangdong said.

"No problem. Chen Gang agreed.

"We don't understand these things, you can give me an idea!" Shi also continued, and Ermao and Sanfat also said that they had no opinion.

"Okay! That's it, let's talk about the shares. Li Yifan listened to everyone's statements, and then said.

"What? shares? What do you mean by shares? The three fat asked puzzledly, and several other people also showed confused expressions.

As soon as Li Yifan saw everyone's expressions, he knew that it was a bit out of the times. In 87 years, before the era of the explosion of knowledge, there was no Baidu, no computers, no mobile phones, and TV had not yet been popularized in every family. People come into contact with enterprises that are either owned by the state or collectively, and there is no such thing as individual ownership. Ordinary people will not understand these economic concepts, let alone some young people who have just finished middle school and have not entered the society.

At that time, people's aspirations or goals were simple: to improve their existing lives. How to improve it - find a way to earn a few big pieces. The term "bulky" was also fashionable at the time. In the beginning, there were the old "big four", namely televisions, bicycles, sewing machines, and radios. Later, with the improvement of living standards, the "four major items" were also upgraded, becoming color TVs, stereos, refrigerators, washing machines and so on.

"Shares are simply the amount of your capital contribution, the share in the prepared enterprise, how much share is how many shares, and the company will share the money according to this proportion when it has profits in the future. Li Yifan explained.

After listening to Li Yifan's explanation, everyone said they understood. At this time, the stone said, "We didn't pay any money, so we helped for two days, and we were not tired, and we were still drinking Moutai and smoking China, what shares do we want, just be able to pay salaries." ”

Chen Gang also said, "That is, the oral liquid is a product obtained by Yifan, the pharmacy is also contacted by Yifan, and the marketing plan is also planned by Yifan, we didn't do anything at all, so we made a little effort and gave 200 yuan, which is worth a month's salary for my father." In addition, I only worked for two months during the summer vacation, and when the school started in September, I didn't know which city to go to university! In addition, I was not going to go into business in the future, and if I wanted to become an official, I would at least be the size of my father's leader. I would never want shares. ”

After listening to it, Li Yifan felt that this era was really good, people were very simple, and they had not been hit by money, and the mainstream values that people believe in are not money first, but they are all simple and demanding, and friendship is supreme.

Li Yifan thought of this and said, "Don't be humble, this share still needs to be divided, although the role of the share is not big now, and everyone has not made much contribution." But since we are brothers, brothers want to create a career together, you need to make a good start, can not be buried at the beginning, as the saying goes, brothers also need to settle accounts, we first villain and then gentleman, seemingly ruthless but actually affectionate, only there is no estrangement between each other, our career can go long-term, brothers' feelings can not be dusted by money, in order to last. ”

"I think, Yifan is right, I don't see anything now, and when the company grows bigger in the future, the contradiction will come, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time. In this way, I will propose a plan, according to the size of the contribution, we are a total of 6 people, 5 of us are 10 percent each, and 50 percent of each of us, what do you think?" Li Xiangdong took the lead in expressing his position.

"Okay. "No comment. "That's it. Several other brothers also expressed their views.
