Chapter 102: A Shrewd Merchant

Lu Tao has always believed that luck exists in this world, and luck is erratic and unpredictable, but it can actually be changed by his own efforts.

Just like all the things he experienced in his previous life, if you look at it according to many people, it may be due to his bad luck. But since Lu Tao was reborn, he no longer thinks so. The reason why he has been encountering very annoying things is, in the final analysis, that he did not do a good job in the early stage, and another point is that his life planning is very messy and he does not work hard, which is the fundamental reason.

Time slowly entered the middle of August, and Lu Tao felt that his luck was getting better and better.

The first thing, of course, is the reagents and consumables purchased by Zhang Yatao from the petrochemical plant, just like Lu Tao's previous analysis, Zhang Yatao just went to the equipment department to mention it, and the answer there was obvious.

"If you have any objections to the reagents and consumables we procure, when you submit the plan here, you will directly indicate the company that makes the quotation and who the contact person is, so you don't have to look for it everywhere after reporting to us. ”

With such a reply, Lu Tao made it much easier to do, directly ordering the goods first, and then signing the contract, as for the invoice or something, there was no change, and it was still settled every three months.

On this list, since the invoicing should be three months later, Lu Tao did not choose the previous model of sharing with the manufacturer, but directly used his own company to do it.

Another point worth mentioning is that due to the cooperative relationship with many manufacturers in the early stage, they have trusted each other very much, so on these not very large lists, Lu Tao can not advance funds at all, that is to say, it is not the same as many early dealers and manufacturers to cooperate in the way, not to pay first, but to ship the goods first, so that there is a time difference in the middle, and it is also convenient for Lu Tao to turn over the funds.

It may seem like a short period of two or three weeks or a month, but for those who do business, this period of time can do a lot of things. Enterprises must have a certain amount of cash to circulate and operate, otherwise there will not be so many companies that look huge, once the cash is tight, it will collapse directly.

Lu Tao has no choice at present, according to his own estimates, his company really needs to be completely formalized, at least 300,000 in cash, but at present, he has not yet gotten the money for several projects, and there are orders coming in, and he doesn't want to share profits with other companies, so he can only think of ways to get through such a period of time first.

Things seem relatively simple, and some people may think that they can actually run like this as soon as they are born again, but they are not.

There is a cost to the company's operation, whether it is the salary of the bookkeeper, the rent of the office, and various other expenses, for Lu Tao, it is not low, he can do it ruthlessly when he only has tens of thousands of yuan, mainly because he has accumulated some customers.

There is no customer and there is no order, and there is no income without order, which is a very real problem.

The total value of Zhang Yatao's orders is more than 50,000 yuan, because it is the first cooperation, Lu Tao does not dare to quote too high a price, so the profit is estimated to be only more than 8,000 yuan.

This is gross profit, because he is still only a small-scale taxpayer, this invoice can only go to the tax side to open, after all, the petrochemical plant belongs to the enterprise, it is necessary to issue a special VAT invoice, which also has a few points of tax, and also has to remove 20% of the profit as enterprise income tax, which has to remove a part, if you really want to calculate the pure profit, it is estimated that it is only about 6000 yuan.

However, Lu Tao is already very satisfied, and at present, he does not plan to directly make the company a general taxpayer, for many reasons, such as the cost of the account has gone up at once, and he does not really want to do the enterprise at present, it is far better to do schools and research institutes and so on.

That's the first thing.

As for the second thing, that is, several chapters of the company have come down, and after the official seal is down, you can go to the bank to open an account, as a company, you can't do it without an account, and people can't give you cash directly.

The third thing is that the instrument purchased by the test center has arrived, and after the instrument arrives, there is only acceptance left, and then go directly to a trip, with the manufacturer's people, on-site installation and commissioning, and then directly wait for the acceptance report to be completed and collect the money.

Speaking of which, all three things he had been doing before, but now it was time for them to blossom and bear fruit.

In the second matter, Lu Tao still needs Ma Haichuan's help, so naturally he has to talk to that side on the phone first.

Find Ma Haichuan's phone number, Lu Tao dialed it directly.

After a while, it was connected, and the tone sounded pretty good.

"Mr. Lu, hehe, why did you remember to call me?" asked Ma Haichuan with a clear pretense of confusion.

Lu Tao was not polite to him, he had already said something at that time, and he never planned to use his one million as start-up capital.

"Mr. Ma, what I told you last time, do you think you can help in the past two days?" Lu Tao said directly.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Ma Haichuan wondered.

"This old fox. Lu Tao scolded secretly in his heart, and then smiled: "Isn't it a registered company on my side, you need to verify the capital, and you agreed last time, I plan to go directly to the bank tomorrow to do this." ”

"Oh, that's what you said. On the phone, Ma Haichuan pretended to think about it, and then was silent again, and only hesitated after a while: "Mr. Lu, my side has been short of funds recently, you see, the last time I talked to Professor Liu, now it is about to reach a critical juncture, and I really can't spare so much." “

It is a difficult thing to ask for people, especially when it comes to money, although Lu Tao has matched Professor Liu's project before, but in Ma Haichuan's eyes, even if Lu Tao does not introduce it, he will always find a project, and after such a period of time, he is naturally a little unhappy to get benefits.

To be able to do it at his level, he is not a fool, he will weigh the pros and cons of everything, calculate the economic account, even if it is such a small matter, he is also thinking about whether he can get a little benefit from it.

"Mr. Lu, aren't you registered to sell reagent consumables here? You see if this will work, what about the money, I can lend you a turnover, but you also know that this project between me and Professor Liu, after the product is made, it is worrying about sales, and this early promotion is indispensable. I have a proposal, I don't know what you think about it?" Ma Haichuan made his own calculations.

"Mr. Ma, you said. Lu Tao resisted the urge to scold his mother.

"After my product is made, can you help recommend it to customers?" Ma Haichuan said with a smile.

From the conversation just now, Lu Tao already felt that things would definitely not be so simple, plus the products made by Ma Haichuan, according to his understanding, the reputation in the industry is really not very good, if he agrees, it means that he will help him distribute the goods later.

This abacus is shrewd, he wants me to be his initial agent, Lu Tao thought to himself.

"Hehe, Mr. Ma, when is the estimated time when your products will be made?" Lu Tao did not directly refuse, and asked.

"I have to sign a cooperation agreement with the school's science and technology department, plus the equipment to build the factory later, it is estimated that it will be officially put into production next year." Ma Haichuan did not doubt him, and said directly.

"That's no problem, as long as Mr. Ma can turn around this time, there will definitely be a lot of opportunities for cooperation in the future. Lu Tao agreed very happily.

Of course, the visible benefits have to be obtained first, and as for the future, it will be next year's business, so let's talk about it then.

"That's okay, one million, in this way, I'll arrange for the company's finance to go over tomorrow and help you do the capital verification in person." Ma Haichuan said directly.

Fortunately, there were no more moths this time, and the next day, Ma Haichuan sent someone over.

Of course, nominally he is helping Lu Tao, but in fact, Lu Tao is also very clear that he is an overseer.

He didn't mind, under the watchful eye of the finance over there, he directly opened a bank card, and then transferred the money over there, and after the bank opened the capital verification report, he directly transferred the money back, and then went to the industrial and commercial bureau to handle it alone.

At that time, the registered company belonged to the paid-in system, and it was necessary to have this capital verification report, unlike later, the paid-in system was changed to the subscription system, and there was no need to open an account to save money at all, and the registered capital needed to be paid off within how many years it was directly stipulated in the articles of association.

After doing these things, it took an afternoon to get the account opening permit.
