Chapter 225 Income Tax
On the 9th of January, it was light and cloudy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The clouds come and go, and the sun shows its face from time to time, as if it was tired from the sunny day of the previous day.
Today is the day of bidding for the Dadong Express building project. In view of the current poor office conditions, the tender was set up in a nearby three-star hotel.
Chang E chose a suit very neutrally, and the cut was very fitting. It's just that the body under the suit is indeed too round, which makes this suit look a little joyful.
However, no one thinks Chang'e is unpleasant. All the builders who participated in the bidding were well aware of the importance of this unassuming woman in this project, and her opinion could definitely influence the final decision.
And the people of Dadong Express naturally know this sister's toughness, and no one will be disrespectful.
At 9 o'clock, the tender began.
A total of 5 builders participated in the bidding. These five are all slightly well-known builders in the province. In fact, for such a civil building with a maximum of only 12 floors, in addition to the construction of the underground parking lot is more time-consuming and laborious, the ground building can be said to be relatively simple.
Each builder had sealed the bids before this and handed them over to Dadong Express, and after the bidding began, the organizer Chang E opened the bids on the spot and sang the bids in turn.
After the opening and singing, the meeting was briefly adjourned, and Dadong Express and others left the venue and entered a small conference room to cooperate with the evaluation experts specially invited by Chang'e to jointly evaluate the bid.
Half an hour, the bid evaluation is over, in fact, before this, everyone has done a lot of work, for the strength of each builder, qualification and quotation have a detailed understanding, has long been determined.
Then, everyone returned to the venue, and Chang E announced the winning bidder on the spot - Ludong Jinan Construction Company. This is a private construction company with Class B construction qualification, although it was established only five or six years, but with a good reputation and reputation, it is well-known in the civil construction market in the province.
Zhang Jinan, the boss of Jinan Construction Company, came over excitedly, shook hands with Mu Dong, and expressed his gratitude.
Mu Dong said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, we don't dare to think of such a civil building, we don't dare to think of the Luban Award, but you also have to ensure the quality of the construction, and we will not be merciful in terms of project supervision." ā
Zhang Jinan hurriedly said: "Mr. Mu, please rest assured. I have seen the deeds of Mr. Mu in the newspaper, I have admired you for a long time, this time I can cooperate with your company, we will definitely go all out to ensure the quality and ensure the construction period, please rest assured. ā
Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while and dispersed.
So far, the building, with a construction budget of 28 million yuan, has finally completed all the preparatory work and is ready to start construction.
The 28 million is only the construction cost of the two-story underground garage and building, including the exterior decoration of the building. The interior decoration is not even included.
Chang'e has also begun to plan the interior decoration, and the rough estimate is more than 12 million, that is to say, 40 million is not necessarily enough for this building.
As for the construction funds, a few days ago, we have applied for a loan from the China Construction Bank according to the original plan, and it is in the process of being approved.
Although the funds from the United States will be available in a few days, Mu Dong still feels that the bank loan needs to be applied for, just in case.
As for the project supervision, with the consent of Mu Dong, Chang E specially invited a familiar supervision company from Lunan. The boss of this company is an old man, and he has a reputation for being mean in the industry, and it is not too suitable for this kind of character to start a supervision company.
Coupled with professional supervision talents like Chang'e and Lin Xiaoyuan, as well as Mu Dong's die-hard fans like Mu Daodao, I believe that the project supervision work will definitely be picked...... It will go very well!
At noon, the sun got tired of playing hide-and-seek with the clouds, kicked through the clouds, and poured down thousands of golden rays.
Under the sun, Mu Dong was standing in the courtyard of No. 32 Luda Road.
The yard has been cleared, not even a single brick is visible. Including the original cement floor, it has been cleaned up and exposed with loess.
The sun was warm, Mu Dong squinted at this small courtyard that he had bought unintentionally, and recalled the trivial things in this courtyard, and felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, it's different, everything is fine, and it will be better.
Chang'e asked Mu Dong if there was a groundbreaking ceremony.
Mu Dong thought for a while and said: "Sister Chang, forget it, we are just an office building for our own use, and it is not a big project, there is no point in engaging in those ceremonies, if you don't get it right, you have to invite a lot of leaders to come over, and we can start work normally." When the building is topped out, how about we have a little fun?"
Chang E thought so deeply and nodded in agreement.
After lunch, Wang Xinlan called.
Mu Dong was surprised and asked, "Xin Lan, it's the middle of the night where you are, right? Why haven't you slept yet?"
Wang Xinlan's tired voice came: "Brother Mu, today is Saturday, there is only half a day of trading time, I must keep an eye on it." Thankfully, the price of gold has reached your expectation of $1,150 per ounce, and I have sold it all, and now you have $388,913,300 in your name. ā
It's finally over! Mu Dong was overjoyed.
Wang Xinlan continued: "Remind me, we are speculating in gold as a sole proprietorship, and you have to pay taxes, I calculated that the federal tax plus the state tax rate reached 43.82%. ā
Mu Dong was taken aback and asked urgently: "Why is it so high? Then don't we have to pay taxes on almost half of the money? Didn't you say about 20% before?"
Wang Xinlan said helplessly: "Brother Mu, what I said before was no less than 20%. To be honest, I didn't expect us to make so much money, and at the current level of profitability, whether it's federal or state taxes, we're meeting the highest tax standard, 35% federal tax, 8.82% New York state. ā
Mu Dong was speechless. He knew that the United States was a country with high taxes, but he didn't expect the personal income tax rate to be so high to such a terrifying standard.
Think about the few businesses I did before, whether it was yellow sand, wicker or garlic, if it were in the United States, there was no such situation as it is now, and a small half of the money would have been taken away by the state.
Alas, the current 389.9 million, there is still a little more than 200 million after paying taxes, which completely disrupts the plan to import 200 million US dollars into the country after this transaction!
Well, gold still has some room to rise, should you try again and earn tax revenue?
Thinking of this, Mu Dong asked: "Xin Lan, if we invest all our funds again now, for example, if we bet less, and bet on gold and there is still room for $3 to rise, how much money can we make?"
Wang Xinlan was shocked and said: "Brother Mu, you said before that the price of gold will stop when it reaches $1,150, I'm almost tired lately, you have pity on me, okay?"
Mu Dong is now so upset by this tax issue, how could he give up easily for a few good words from Wang Xinlan, he patiently persuaded: "Xinlan, you see, we have to pay so many taxes, why don't we gamble again, or earn the interest tax that should be paid? I promise, this is the last time, this operation is over, you can rest for a few days." ā
Wang Xinlan was helpless, quickly calculated, and said: "If I am lucky enough to bet again, the price of gold will rise by 3 US dollars, and after deducting commissions, we can make a profit of 84.72 million US dollars, and the total capital can reach 474.6 million US dollars." ā
Mu Dong thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What if we bet on a $4 increase this time?"
ā¦ā¦
After calculating again, Wang Xinlan said: "Then we can make a profit of 118.6 million US dollars, and the capital will reach 508.5 million." ā
"Okay!" Mu Dong said solemnly: "Xin Lan, according to the agreement between the two of us, I have absolute dominance over the purchase and sale of gold, and now I order you to buy all the existing funds according to 100 times the leverage." After that, either a pending order or an instant trade, if the price of gold rises to $1,154, sell it immediately. ā
Mu Dong's tone was solemn and could not be refused, Wang Xinlan had no choice but to say: "Okay, Mr. Mu, I will implement it immediately." ā
Subsequently, Wang Xinlan hung up the phone and immediately bought gold according to Mu Dong's wishes.
After that, Wang Xinlan looked at his account, gritted his teeth and used 100 times leverage to buy 132,600 ounces of gold again.
Death is death!" Wang Xinlan thought to himself.
Mu Dong, who put down the phone, was also churning in his heart, this time, he was really gambling!
According to Shi Kun's information, the peak of the gold price of this round of rise is $1,155 per ounce, and Mu Dong specified a selling price of $1,154, which is actually a bit risky, you know, the price of gold sometimes rises and falls greatly in one day, and once you are unlucky, you will have to suffer huge losses.
The good news is that now Boss Mu's family has a big business and strong funds, and he will not lose money, so he has the courage to gamble.
Boss Mu was really hit by the high taxes in the United States, so he did not hesitate to take a little risk, use the current massive funds, and earn another 100 million dollars!
Mu Dong knows that after this round of rise, once the funds are transferred to the country, it will take a long time to accumulate four or five billion US dollars.
Faye Wong saw that Mu Dong was busy and came over to report a few things.
First, the four teams that are now going to the prefecture and city have all called to report their work, and they are basically carrying out the site selection, registration and personnel recruitment of the branch, and everything is going well.
Second, Wang Dajiang of the security team called and said that the applied tires were in place and expressed his gratitude to Mu Dong.
Third, Su Peng, the manager of the Island City Branch, Xia Bingxin, the manager of the Weizhou Branch, Wang Jinming, the manager of the Fuzhou Branch, and Zhao Zhiming, the manager of the Lunan Branch, all called to inquire about the small-scale development of the county express delivery business.
After listening to the third thing, Mu Dong was happy.
This Fang Xiaojie did not hide his secrets, and told the other branch managers about the business in the county. I guess I was afraid that other branch managers would find it unfair, so we simply worked together in the same way.
Mu Dong waved his hand and said to Faye Wong: "Inform them that the pilot is allowed, but it must be done according to their ability." ā
