In the society of capital, the government should serve capital. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, the U.S. government is extremely sensitive to the market.
When Zhou Yu's batch of fruits is put on sale, the market reaction will prompt the marketing bureau to make changes. Hank's application was just a little bit earlier.
This is of course different from Great Xia.
It's the difference between institutions and cultures.
In this regard, Zhou Yu had no more thoughts except for a slight sigh.
Hank is indeed a businessman, or at least a man of action. Although he is a fat man and should be lazy and lazy, he is actually very resolute in doing things.
It took two days for St. Mary's to ship away all the extraordinary early-maturing fruits produced by Yuyin Farm, and on the third day, it was already on the shelves of the fruit supermarket in Los Angeles!
For the retail sale of fruits, Zhou Yu is also very concerned. If it doesn't sell well, then the cooperation with Hank in the future may not be so smooth.
Only if it sells well, then it is really good.
However, unless Hank tells him about the sales in person, Zhou Yu can only learn about some fur from TV and the Internet. And the Internet is a hodgepodge, many times people are cloudy, a fog, and nothing can be seen in a short period of time.
On the contrary, Zhou Yu also saw many media ridicules about this matter from the Internet.
They call the Jadeseal fruit produced by the Jade Seal Farm a 'superfruit', but that's not a compliment. On the contrary, the words are full of contempt and sarcasm.
Because the retail price in the fruit supermarket and shopping mall is too appalling!
The unit price of snake fruit and red grapes marked with the diamond-grade jade seal mark has reached a sky-high price of 150 US dollars per pound! It is the lowest grade of gold, and the unit price is more than 70 US dollars!
Even Zhou Yu couldn't help but be speechless when he saw it, not to mention those media who specialize in picking thorns?
They were convinced that St. Mary's Fruit Company was doomed to fail, and that Jade Seal Farm had told a big lie! And it was concluded that these fruits could sell up to ten percent!
The boiling Internet seems to be full of such unfavorable signals.
But only three days later, St. Mary's posted three days of sales data on their official website, which made all the media lose their voices!
On the first day, the fruit sold, in the entire Los Angeles area, was only twenty tons! The turnover is nearly 5 million US dollars.
But the next day, the data exploded! In just one day, 180 tons were sold! The turnover reached more than 40 million!
On the third day, nine hundred and sixty tons! The turnover has suddenly climbed to an astonishing figure of 200 million!
It's all growing in geometric multiples!
As a result, Zhou Yu saw that the media on the Internet turned around in unison, from the original ridicule and contempt, to amazement and admiration!
Zhou Yu exhaled a long breath, slowly leaned back in the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled.
The phone rang, and Zhou Yu glanced at it, it was Hank.
Picking up the phone, Hank laughed heartily, "Man, we made it!" ”
yes, it worked!
"You've made money, you've made a lot of money! Countless Franklins! Hank continued: "Five thousand tons of fruit, nearly two hundred thousand pounds of diamond grade, three million pounds of one thousand five hundred tons of platinum grade, more than two thousand three hundred tons of gold grade five million pounds, according to double the price, sixty-eight dollars of diamond grade one pound, platinum grade thirty-three dollar knife one pound, gold grade sixteen dollar knife one pound, man, just diamond grade fruit, I will pay you 180 million US dollars!" ”
He was shouting, and he could hear his excitement now: "110 million platinum, 82 million gold!" Dude, nearly 400 million! You can fill your cottage with a green Franklin! ”
Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing.
To be honest, this number also shocked his heart.
More than 370 million US dollars, how much is converted into Daxia coins? More than 200 million!
How much money did he bring with him when he came? Less than 30 million dollars! How much to invest? It's less than 20 million dollars! So far, there are still 10 million dollars left in the money!
How long has it been?
It's only been two months!
It has multiplied more than ten times in the moment of turning!
It's more outrageous than robbing a bank!
He forced himself to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Hank, my buddy, I made more than 300 million, what about you?" Haha, don't always talk about me, you don't earn less than me! ”
Hank laughed, and said with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "But man, St. Mary's Company is not my own. I'm not even a major shareholder..."
"But St. Mary's makes money, doesn't it?" Zhou Yu smiled and said: "As the president who leads St. Mary to glory, I think that in St. Mary's Company, your status must rise." ”
Hank laughed, and suddenly sighed slightly, "Dude, I should thank you." I've been president of St. Mary's for seven or eight years. My father, my grandfather, has always been a shareholder of St. Mary's, and our family, treated St. Mary's as their own child. I want my children to thrive, but the reality is always frustrating. It's been seven or eight years, and I've accomplished nothing. You, man, were the ones who gave this opportunity! ”
"Haha, don't be so sensational." Zhou Yu said mercilessly: "You should be happy, and then go buy a car, buy a villa, and go to a party." ”
"You're right, man!" Hank laughed, and then his voice suddenly raised, "I'm getting ready to have a body, man, are you coming?" I've got some of Hollywood's biggest stars! ”
"Big star? Who? When Zhou Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Two big beauties!" Hearing this, Zhou Yu seemed to be able to imagine Hank stretching out his two turnip-like fingers over there.
"Kristen Stewart! Emma Walter! Hank smiled: "They are all rare beauties, and more importantly, they are stars, do they want to conquer?" ”
"Uh..."
"Listen to me man, you're a Monopoly man you know? A monopoly man under twenty years old? I think they're going to be interested in you. Don't you want to get up close and personal with Hollywood's biggest stars? Hank's tone was full of temptation.
"Well, but I don't seem to know either of them." Zhou Yu said something that made Hank almost fall headlong.
"What!?" Hank plays a high voice: "Don't know!?" Aren't you young people very concerned about entertainment? Have you seen Twilight? Kristen is the heroine! Has Harry Potter seen it? Emma is the heroine! ”
"I've seen it..."Zhou Yu was a little unsure: "But I don't remember the heroine..."
"Count you ruthless, man!" Hank scratched his head vigorously: "Then you won't come?" The night after tomorrow, Santa Maria. ”
"Forget it," although Zhou Yu is indeed a little curious about stars, he doesn't chase stars, and... Thinking of Xiao Yi, who was still in Beijing in Great Xia, he immediately dispelled the charm in his heart: "I still have something." ”
Hank was speechless for a long time before he said helplessly, "Okay man, I also want to introduce a few business partners to you..."
"There will be time later." Zhou Yu smiled: "I do have a lot of trivial matters to deal with here. ”
"Alright, man, you're up to the shot."
Putting down the phone, Zhou Yu rubbed the bridge of his nose, thinking about money.
At present, St. Mary's has paid 50 million US dollars, and there are still more than 320 million left. It's always not very reassuring to have such a large sum of money out of your hands.
Especially Zhou Yu, after all, he has just settled in this country and lacks a sense of security.
"This is the first time that it is a special situation..."Zhou Yu secretly calculated: "The capital of St. Mary's Company is not enough, even if I asked them to pay off the money at once, they would not be able to do it." But from next time, it should be able to make a difference, now I rely on St. Mary's, but next time..."
"St. Mary's Company has taken such a big benefit this time, I guess the next time I pay, it will be much happier."
He made up his mind, relying on his own advantages, to do business with St. Mary in the future, not to mention money and goods, but at least to dominate himself!
"And then there's the tax returns..."
Thinking of this, he frowned slightly.
Taxation in the United States is not as complicated as in the country, but which side is more ruthless is a matter of opinion.
According to Zhou Yu's preliminary understanding, in the United States, the agricultural industry is similar to that in China, and there are also supportive policies. However, it is mostly aimed at small farms with an annual income of less than 200,000 US dollars. A big farm like Zhou Yu has much less support.
He needs to pay national, state, and local taxes, and he doesn't know much about what taxes there are.
But this matter is not in a hurry, Zhou Yu wants to file a tax return, and he will not go until next year.
The annual tax filing deadline in the United States is April 15 of the following year. The taxes that should have been paid on the farm last year must have been paid by April 15 of this year. Otherwise, Old John would have been in prison a long time ago.
The IRS in the United States is so powerful in combat that it is more ferocious than the urban management troops in China, and how many capitalists and celebrities have been planted in the hands of the IRS!
Therefore, for anyone, tax filing must be taken seriously.
After revealing the tax declaration, Zhou Yu thought about how to spend money. If you make money, you have to spend it, and it is impossible to hide it, so do you have to wait for the depreciation of the American knife?
So first of all, he decided to continue the domestic practice and take a part of the income as dividends and distribute them to the workers. Of course, there is no hurry. For the time being, Zhou Yu will not confess to the workers. He still doesn't fully understand what these workers are doing, and whether they are doing well. At least wait until Zhou Yu can trust them, and it is not too late to announce this matter.
Then, some of the facilities of the farm, the tools, the refurbishment of the refurbishment, the purchase of the purchase.
For example, sightseeing cars, some of which are too old to run. And the number is also less, the farm is so big, there is no convenient means of transportation, it is absolutely impossible.
So, he decided to buy at least ten new sightseeing cars.
There are also transport vans, which are also worth buying at least five!
Another example is farm tools. In fact, many farm tools, whether they are shears for cutting miscellaneous branches, or ladders and shelves, are aging. There are also sorting equipment in the processing room, conveyor belt equipment, baskets for fruit in the warehouse, etc., which also do not look the same.
It's all going to be a new one!
