Chapter 1070: Western Shadow Capital

The sun is like fire, scorching the earth.

In the square in front of the pavilion, tall purple robots stand alone, accompanied by their mottled shadows.

Secretly scolding himself for asking for hardship, Lin Chen retracted his gaze, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and quickly rushed into a world full of light and heat.

Outside the National Exhibition, delivery riders in blue uniforms were already waiting on the side of the road, looking very conspicuous.

The two had met a few times before, the rider glanced at him, looked down at the phone screen, turned around and opened the back box of the electric motorcycle, took out the plastic bag containing the lunch box from the takeaway box and handed it to him, "Your takeaway, check it first!"

Lin Chen stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it roughly, and nodded to indicate that it was no problem. Immediately afterwards, he threw out the question he wanted to ask: "You really have to change jobs?"

When we met, this guy was wearing the bright yellow uniform of a kangaroo delivery house, and this time he came out and became a hummingbird's house.

The other party smiled when he heard this, "Of course, when it comes to doing it, otherwise what will others think of me?"

In terms of market share, kangaroos backed by penguins and hummingbirds backed by cats are the two heroes of takeaway, with Duxiong takeaway occupying the third place, followed by a bunch of other brands rooted in the region and self-operated market segments. The triangle is the most stable, but the three-headed pattern is the most dangerous, offline crowd fighting, online red envelope wars, water armies blacking each other, the three tearing battles have never stopped, and they continue to provide fresh talking points for friends.

In April this year, the boss of Kangaroo Company Wang was interviewed by the media, saying that the company had achieved breakeven, and there was still a lot of cash to spend, and he planned to enter more third-world countries and engage in globalization. However, before his plan to go overseas was implemented, his recruiters came up with the second-generation map cannon of "Don't want people in the yellow flood area", and the blatant regional discrimination remarks suddenly caused an uproar on the Internet, which kept the public relations department busy.

For the sake of 1% of users, ISS (ISRESPE does not respect) the majority remains, but the public relations department's big move is still cooling, and the traditional water army tricks (of course, excluding the "fake water" given by friends for free) not only failed to calm down public opinion, but caused all kinds of unhappiness among the masses, and they threatened to uninstall the second consecutive bad reviews.

Originally, the thing mainly happened that it has not been extended to offline for the time being, but this takeaway brother is also too upright, and directly said that he couldn't bear it, and said that he was going to resign at the time, but now he has really changed the owner.

Looking at the young rider, Lin Chen raised his empty hand and gave him a thumbs up, "Respect you for being a man!"

"Don't dare, don't dare," the little brother looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he lowered his voice, as if confiding and complaining, and said: "I can't help it, I'm afraid that I will be complained about by people in the future that my body doesn't smell clean, and I'm even more afraid that I will encounter someone who doesn't say anything, so give me a knife directly." ”

"Hey!" Lin Chen sighed, took out his business card and handed it to the other party, "Hummingbird is not insured, if you want to change to a new job, you can consider joining us, the film industry is still safer." ”

"Thank you!" the latter raised his hand to take the business card, "Anyway, you shouldn't have been taking on a lot of business lately, right? ”

"It's okay," Lin Chen smiled proudly when he was scratched on the itch, "Most of them are consulted, and of course there are a lot of purchase intentions, so I have to supplement the elite soldiers." ”

At the beginning, the birth of "Avatar" caused a movie-watching boom, and IAX3 tickets were hard to find, and theater companies rushed to use IAX and 3 projection equipment, and the impact has not completely dissipated to this day. When "The Wandering Earth" was released, it also brought a wave of "4 trends", although the scale and influence were not as good as the former, but it also made Bee Yingsuke, as an equipment supplier, full, and its performance skyrocketed several times, and it really needed to replenish manpower.

Wearing his helmet, the little brother in blue pointed at himself with a smile: "Then you can't just arrest people, what are you going to do with me as soon as I deliver takeaways?"

Lin Chen nodded, "The industry span is indeed a bit large, but what we lack most now is the front-line sales and service personnel, the essence of which is the delivery door and sales service, what you want is to be familiar with geography and be good at dealing with strangers, I think you have both of these points, and I believe you will be able to adapt soon." ”

"Thank you, Manager Lin, I'll think about it. ”

"Well, I hope we can see you again!"

"Goodbye!"

Turning around and walking into the heart of the National Exhibition, Lin Chen walked straight towards Hall 8. casually gave the other party a quota for internal recommendation, and he naturally had his own considerations.

With the gradual implementation of relevant laws and policies, Bee is considering restructuring the film exhibition business. According to the plan, the Deep Space Cinema Line will be split and reorganized, the assets of large theaters will be spun off to join the Star Cinema Line, and the remaining small theaters plus the private cinemas acquired in the later stage will be transformed into R and 4 to create a national chain on-demand cinema line with the most technical style. In order to cooperate with this plan, Deep Space Cinema is recruiting the person in charge of the northern region within the film and television business group, and he Lin Chen also signed up.

Since it is possible for me to be transferred to the north to serve as a regional manager, it is natural to recruit a few more local subordinates who are easy to communicate with to come in and cooperate with the work. Of course, he just gave the other party a chance to push inside, and whether he can become his subordinate depends on the other party's meaning and the results of the HR assessment, which is just a dispensable idle move, and he soon put this matter aside.

Since the Beijing Science and Technology Expo is hosted by the official Council for the Promotion of International Trade, it is naturally indispensable to "boast of achievements" and "bring the younger brother" traditional tasks, the former is the specific performance of the No. 1 and No. 2 halls in the special achievement exhibition, the latter is implemented as the No. 8 hall in the province, autonomous region and city science and technology innovation achievement exhibition.

Interestingly, because the bees are famous for participating in the exhibition, and the science and technology fair is set up according to the industry and the region of the special exhibition area, the result is a funny scene, if you look for it carefully, you will find that the bee and its affiliated enterprises are simply ubiquitous: the first hall and science and technology integration exhibition area, the bee research institute uses the intelligent drawing board to grab the limelight of the automatic institute of the academy of sciences, the second hall of the guancun innovation achievement exhibition area, and the green field forestry puts out a huge intelligent forest farm dynamic sand table bo, which also attracts a lot of attention. In the smart education exhibition area of Hall 3, there are many children lingering in front of the Bee Toy booth, in the exhibition area of the Beijing Animation and Game Alliance in Hall 4, Bee Animation also played a soy sauce, Hall 5 has a real car test ride of the second-generation dark horse electric car, Hall 67 is not used, and Hall 8 has the same brothers of the same family of Ekisuke Egreshima and Horgos Bee Shadow looking at each other silently across the aisle.

In this era of scrambling to protect GP, the development of real estate industry and investment attraction have naturally received great attention from local authorities, and in order to compete for high-quality projects, many places will come up with amazing preferential policies, which will cause a spectacular scene of related enterprises gathering and migrating. In this respect, the western region has the advantage that the eastern region does not have, and it can strive for the state's reduction or exemption of enterprise income tax and sponsors, and can exempt the local retained taxes and various surcharges, and do its best to reduce the burden on enterprises.

The small border city of Khorgos, located on the border with Kazakhstan, is an absolute example of tax reduction and investment promotion in the western region.

Because of the preferential policy of exempting new companies from corporate income tax and partial refund of value-added tax for five years, many asset-light enterprises have flocked to Huocheng. The most typical of these is the film and television investment company, and hundreds of film and television companies have received business licenses issued by the Khorgos Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

The films invested and distributed by Horgos XX Film and Television Company have been screened one after another, including "Riding the Wind and Waves", "Havoc in Tianzhu", "Hot Pot Hero", "Big Fish and Begonia", "Journey to the West", "Lao Paoer" and other well-known films, as well as the recent "The Wandering Earth". Looking at the registered place of the production company alone, Khorgos is like a crazy rise of the western film capital.

However, the real situation is not as optimistic as it seems, Huayi, Guangguang and other veteran film companies, as well as stars such as Han Shao and Deng Chao, went to Huocheng to open a company, just to enjoy the benefits brought by "the last tax depression in the country". But there is no idea of taking root in the west, and when the policy changes and dividends are no longer available, a large number of shell companies used to avoid taxes will be cancelled.

There is no doubt that Bee Pictures is also one of them, competitors use vest companies to avoid taxes and save money, and they will suffer losses if they don't follow properly, and the investment in the "Wandering Earth" project is huge, and you can save a lot of money by putting it in Huocheng. In fact, not only the film industry, but also the PE private equity industry is also a loyal fan of "tax depression", whenever a new policy is introduced to attract investment, PE will flock in, register a large number of subsidiaries and sub-funds, and wait for policy changes before flocking to other places.

The "tax depression" is not unique to China, after all, in order to compete with developed regions for enterprises and talents, underdeveloped regions can only use their brains in taxation and law.

For example, Ohio, located in the Great Lakes region of the United States, is a well-known tax depression in the western region, where there is no tax on inventory, corporate income, investment in machinery and equipment, and products sold to customers outside the state, which is suitable for heavy asset projects such as machinery manufacturing. Coupled with the strength of energy pricing in the United States, the production costs of companies are indeed lower on the other side of the Pacific.

Boss Cao, a senior boss in Hu Jian's business world, resolutely decided to invest overseas because of the rising comprehensive costs in China, and he bought the old factory of General Motors in Ohio, USA, and invested one billion dollars to transform it to produce automotive glass.

However, Boss Cao's new factory has not yet been put into production, and it is being targeted by the UA (National Auto Workers Federation), which is full of combat effectiveness, and various protests and boycotts are pouring in.

UA's most "brilliant" record is that he became a shareholder and indirectly led to the bankruptcy of Detroit, the "Motor City".

It is precisely because of their continuous struggle that the three major American automobile companies Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler have to promise to increase hourly wages and increase welfare protection. These costs are ultimately reflected in the product side, pushing up the actual price of the product, but domestic consumers do not have much "buy aeria (buy American)" sentiment, in the face of the temptation of Japanese cars durable, fuel-efficient and cheap, more and more Americans choose to abandon the "three".

In the 80s of the century, they lobbied Washington to pass a policy of restricting imported cars, in a vain attempt to level out the cost, but it didn't take long for Toyota, Honda, and Nissan to come to the United States to build factories, factories were renewed, management was more detailed, employees were younger (no pension burden), and the production cost was still half lower than that of Futongk.

When the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in the United States in 07, the "Big Three" that had been struggling to maintain it decisively fell to their knees, dragging down Detroit's auto industry and tax pillars. After divestitures, mergers and acquisitions, and debt-to-equity swaps, the three automakers were able to regain their lives, and UA joined the board of directors as a representative of the workers' shareholders.

In Lin Chen's view, the three car companies have actually taken a detour, if they start to engage in employee stock ownership, linking employee income with benefits and corporate revenue, they will not carry more and more heavy salary burdens, which will lead to being beaten by foreign counterparts with cost advantages in market competition.

However, even employee stock ownership cannot solve the problem of team aging that inevitably occurs with the increase of business years, which can easily lead to slow response, conservative decision-making, and loss of initiative, which in turn leads to the loss of competitive advantage in the company.

The "45-year-old retirement policy" should be designed for this topic, hoping that through "early retirement", the weak will be retained and renewed, so as to ensure the vitality of the enterprise. However, it is not without a price to do so, with a large amount of virtual shares in hand, you can try to retire early to enjoy life, and ordinary employees are a little embarrassed. At the age of 45, it is the time when there are four elders to support and a small school, and if it encounters a one-size-fits-all at this time, it will undoubtedly be a major blow.

Therefore, when this policy was exposed, it quickly attracted heated discussions from countless friends, and many people were scolding a certain person for violating national law and being inhumane. However, the latter did not accept criticism for humbly improving, apparently believing that the current policy was more beneficial to the company.

Bee's virtual share system was learned from a certain practice, and as the company entered its 11th year, it is said that the company also had the idea of implementing a similar policy. The reason why Lin Chen had thoughts about the position of the regional manager of the new Deep Space Cinema Line was also related to the news that was spreading wildly within the company. Staying in Yingfu, he is just an ordinary layer who gets dividends at the end of the year, but when he goes to New Deep Space, he can become the direct person in charge of creating a market and standing alone, and his power, status and income can increase a lot, of course, provided that he can really do the business.

Fortunately, he's still young, he's messed up, and there's time for him to start all over again. And he also has full confidence in the future of this business, millennials have grown up with the Internet, and they have been accustomed to the on-demand mode of Internet video since childhood, and the schedules and release cycles of TV stations and cinemas obviously do not match their preferences and habits. As long as you do a good job in this regard, you will not worry about not being able to open the situation.
