Hearing that a leader wanted to talk to him, Gu Mojie's first reaction was surprise. Because he never befriended the figures in the officialdom.

In addition to jealousy and hatred, he stays away from some guys who are obviously making a big profit; Occasionally, an unnoticed little black hand will cut off one or two peripheral subordinates of the other party, and Gu Mojie will have no other intersection with the official.

However, since he couldn't dodge, he immediately had a flash in his mind, checked it in his mind, and immediately knew who was looking for him.

An hour ago, when he got the list of visiting leaders, he was still wondering, how could Cardinal Qi of the Provincial Party Committee come to inspect this kind of cultural and creative industry exhibition? In May, when the China International Animation Festival opened, this leader was not invited; Now this is just a small exhibition promoted by the power of private enterprises, and I went to the Department of Cultural Affairs for the record, and I actually asked for it.

Then there is only one possibility: Cardinal Qi wants to talk to Gu Mojie about something in private, and the drunkard does not mean to drink.

The exhibition hall is so big, and the time it takes to walk to another VIP meeting room is only a few tens of seconds. Gu Mojie didn't have time to turn his mind more, so he arrived at the place.

There were two guards standing at the door, in civilian clothes, and there was no malice to be seen. When Gu Mojie approached, they glanced at Gu Mojie and let him in—this can be regarded as brushing his face.

"Cardinal Qi, are you looking for me?" Gu Mojie was a little unsuitable for this kind of occasion, but he still knew the basic officialdom etiquette.

Cardinal Qi has a pair of slitted eyes, a tall and slightly chubby figure, and looks very restrained, and his eyes are not bright or imposing—of course, this qiē may also be the result of a relatively thorough cover-up.

Seeing Gu Mojie come in, he kindly motioned for Gu Mojie to sit down opposite him.

"Sit casually, you're welcome. Today you are the owner of the exhibition. ”

On the small table in front of him, there were two cups of simple Pu'er tea. Packed in paper cups. To Gu Mojie's surprise, there was also a secretary standing behind Cardinal Qi - it was obvious that the topic that the other party was going to talk to him today belonged to the category of "everything must be said to others", and there would be no insider trading.

Of course, Gu Mojie remembered that Boss Song of Greentown had reminded him that he and Boss Song would bet on both ends and leave some more way back for the shareholders of Jiangnan Huijiu. Boss Song is responsible for marrying Cardinal Wang, the prefect. Gu Mojie married Cardinal Qi, the governor. It's just that Gu Mojie knows that Cardinal Qi has a deep background, so he has always acted impartially and uprightly, and has never deliberately stammered.

"Xiao Gu, you person, it's really not easy to see you once-the bones are too hard! Tell me yourself, in the past two or three years, what government call have you responded to, and what activities have you taken the initiative to participate in to reflect your sense of social responsibility? I think we've met twice at government-led industry forums, and we haven't had a chance to talk in detail – especially since this year. You've learned to let Ye Weilun help you attend, or not. ”

Cardinal Qi's tone could not hear reproach or joke. Gu Mojie could only deal with it in a panacea tone first.

"The cardinal smiled, am I not young, I am an upstart in your eyes. If you want to make money and engage in scientific research, I am still an expert, but I can't treat people and things. Some events have gone too far. Afraid of not understanding the rules and offending people; So I think it's better to ask older and experienced colleagues in the company to help me take on more responsibilities. ”

When he said this. Gu Mojie's expression was very sincere, harmless to humans and animals. Especially at the age of 21, he is extremely deceptive on this issue - on the American side, there will be Bill Gates and Zuckerberg. It's unprecedented to become a tech and business expert in your early 20s. But in his early 20s. It is mixed into old fritters in officialdom and old bastards in society, and there are basically very few.

There is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry. Gu Mojie's explanation also made Cardinal Qi believe seven or eight points, at least he felt that Gu Mojie's attitude was still sincere.

And think about it carefully. Gu Mojie's wealth explosion speed is really a bit against the sky, a year ago at this time, the society's valuation of Gu Mojie's wealth must have been less than 10 billion, in that case, the provincial-cardinal-level boss will not turn over and governor, that is normal.

However, a year later, Gu Mojie skyrocketed several times, and just sold YouTube to earn 5 billion easily, no matter how you look at it, you can rank in the top half of the Chinese Rich List. At this time, the situation is naturally different.

It's not that the cardinal's compulsion has decreased, it's that Gu Mojie has grown too fast.

Cardinal Qi accepted Gu Mojie's statement and said lightly: "Everyone must give full play to their strengths, this is right. The purpose of our government is to enable people to make use of their strengths and contribute to society. So don't think of officialdom as so resistant. In essence, our government still needs to be built into a service-oriented government. ”

"The cardinal is right, but I am blind to this." Gu Mojie drank tea while sincerely perfunctory.

"I can't help it!" Cardinal Qi saw through Gu Mojie at a glance, but he was not angry, "Today's exhibition, I was originally not interested in coming to inspect the speech - of course, cultural creativity must be supported, and we Chinese cannot always copy the ideas of other countries - but the main purpose of my visit is to hope to talk openly and honestly with you."

I've made people pay attention to you, you started a business in Qiantang locally, and your rise is so fast, it's impossible for me not to investigate. But the results are very gratifying to me. Your money is clean, and every cent is earned by doing scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. First, it does not include the development of state-owned resources, second, it does not set foot in real estate, and third, it does not participate in government bidding. In these years, I have been in politics for 20 years and have contacted thousands of entrepreneurs, and you are the first one to be so clean. ”

Gu Mojie was finally a little embarrassed, and thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "How dare you do this!" ”

"Be a man and seek truth from facts! I'm not here to be polite with you! Cardinal Qi made a blank face, stopped Gu Mojie from continuing to waste time on modesty, and then continued to speak.

"I know that you and Cardinal Wang in the city are not very harmonious, and his people have tried to share your profits with you several times, but you have refused. It's not easy to do this. But why haven't you thought about avoiding some of the harsher investment climates? Is it just because you're still studying and can't leave your homeland? You've even done it in the U.S. to open a company, so it should be easy to change the environment in China. ”

Gu Mojie pondered for a moment and said honestly: "This, it's not difficult to say, but it's easy to say...... Huh. Cardinal Qi, aren't you the cardinal of this province? How could such a question be asked. If the Hatsune Group moves out, it will not be good for the province's economic growth indicators. ”

Gu Mojie was surprised by Cardinal Qi's question, of course, it was not unreasonable. The market value of a group has risen to 30 billion yuan, and it has grown up in 3 years, which is very helpful to the local economic indicators and political performance.

In the context of '06. The national GDP is only 20 trillion. Although Qianjiang Province is a large economic province, its GDP is 1.6 trillion yuan. In other words, in the two years of 05 and 06, Gu Mojie's industry contributed at least 1.5%~2% of the province's GDP every year.

Specific to Qiantang City, the total GDP is only 344 billion. In the parallel time and space without Gu Mojie, the city's GDP growth rate in the past two years was 16% and 17% respectively (due to the skyrocketing housing prices). And now with Gu Mojie, these two figures have reached 20% and 21% respectively - and this part of the new increase brought by Gu Mojie is very clean and high-quality, not based on real estate GDP.

So. Cardinal Qi actually asked Gu Mojie why he didn't avoid the "bad investment environment", and Gu Mojie was naturally surprised.

Cardinal Qi: "I am not asking this question from my own standpoint, I want you to be realistic and give you a more concrete view on this issue. ”

The other party was so straightforward, Gu Mojie didn't hide his privacy, and after thinking about it, he said bluntly:

"It is not difficult to say that it is not difficult for Internet companies to relocate, mainly because the Internet economy has very low regional constraints on the division of labor and cooperation in various links. The R&D and marketing operations of a network company can be in two different cities. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they will not lead to inefficient collaboration – something that is unthinkable in traditional industrial enterprises. Such an enterprise must ensure that all links of the supply chain are geographically clustered as much as possible in order to improve industrial efficiency.

Therefore, under the premise that the rent cost and labor cost continue to rise in Qiantang City and even in Qianjiang Province, it is said that the Internet industry is the easiest industry to transfer to the low-cost and underdeveloped areas of the interior. Objectively, the only bottleneck may be that the current high-end technical talents and management and marketing talents in the inland areas are not as rich as those in the southeast coast, but this is not impossible to change.

At present, I personally believe that the main factor that really restricts the transfer of industries in the new economy is the domestic tax system -- since the beginning of the tax-sharing system. In order to retain the source of taxation, the local government has gone further and further in retaining the headquarters of large enterprises and excluding the branches of large enterprises, and local protection attention has become more prevalent.

Technically, the Hatsune Group could certainly relocate the Osus Jù Center to the Midwest. The question is whether the Midwest will accept a number of centers that cannot bring him tax revenue at this stage of the tax system? Therefore, if an enterprise wants to relocate, it must make corresponding structural adjustments in the tax source to ensure that the part that moves out is also complete and an independent tax source. NetEase, Ahri, and Teng Xun didn't do it.

I have been in business for more than three years, and it has been less than two years since I formed a group, and at present, the financial and management talents can't keep up, and I can't afford to toss these things, so there is no way. ”

Cardinal Qi listened quietly, stood up, walked to the window, and stared out quietly. Gu Mojie's words obviously hit the nail on the head, but to say that Cardinal Qi didn't expect it, it wasn't necessarily true. Cardinal Qi's position may not be enough to make him think about the consequences of the convergence of the tax system and the new Internet economy.

In the era of the traditional economy, this problem is not obvious, because the traditional economy has high requirements for the centralized layout of the region.

Cardinal Qi calmly asked, "Then what do you think can be done to change this problem?" ”

Gu Mojie scratched his head: "I'm not engaged in politics or economy, it's hard to say this question." Also unprofessional. ”

Cardinal Qi: "I don't want you to be professional, just have an opinion." If you say that, no one will do what you say directly, and you are afraid that you will not be able to take responsibility. ”

Gu Mojie: "Then I'll say it." I think that if the local tax system can be achieved in the future, the benefits brought by each link can be calculated and formed locally. Wherever every step of the new economy takes place, taxes fall, so there will not be so many local governments that exclude branches that do not generate tax revenues and only do everything possible to grab the corporate headquarters of Internet companies. ”

"Sure enough, it's a layman who speaks layman's words, but it's not rough." Cardinal Qi listened to Gu Mojie's unprofessional statement, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "The one you said, the professional term is 'replacing business tax with value-added tax', and if an enterprise can use value-added tax to calculate and levy, it will not need business tax, and it will be deducted layer by layer. ”

After Cardinal Qi finished popularizing this common sense, he fell into silence again, and sighed softly for a long time: "This step is still far away, the hottest thing in China is real estate, and the pattern of the new economy is still too small." Localities also do not recognize the need to loosen the physical and geographical constraints of the new economy. But you also have to be confident that this kind of reform will happen one day. It's a bit far, let's not talk about this, do you know why I talked to you today? ”

Gu Mojie confessed: "I don't know very well, is it because I just made a lot of American money, so you come to encourage me?" ”

Cardinal Qi: "Young man...... Is it small to make money, and you don't even know that you are being targeted by the Americans? Then why the FBI and the CIA are all eyeing you, do you think that if you engage in Internet security and data surveillance in the United States, the Americans will let you do it casually? There are some things I shouldn't have said, but seeing that you are rare, I will give you a reminder. China doesn't know exactly what they have done, but if the Americans want to spy on you, this will definitely not be wrong.

Few of us Chinese have been able to go abroad to this point and have achieved today's achievements. Even on the American side, there is only one Zuckerberg who can be compared to you, and I don't want you to mess up your career with a big face. ”

"What? How did you know this? You are not ......" Gu Mojie was startled, and cold sweat trickled down for a while.

It is not uncommon for there to be institutions in the country that can know the movements of some Americans, but that is not something that can be grasped by people at the level of governors. Of course, Gu Mojie also heard Boss Song and Ma Feng say that Cardinal Qi is a capable person with an unpredictable future. Don't......

"Don't ask what you shouldn't, don't ask more. Young man, do a good job. I won't hide it from you, I originally thought that I could do this term in this province, but now it seems that it is unlikely. Something happened to Hujiang, you know. ”

"You know, since the middle of last month, there have been rumors on the news that there seems to be something wrong with the society-package-fund, and there may be a big move." Gu Mojie said very cautiously, and did not dare to mention the name of Cardinal Chen, the governor of Hujiang.

Cardinal Qi sighed: "If it really makes a big fuss, I will have to go to fight the fire, and I will definitely have to go to Hujiang next year, and this year can be regarded as the last year in this province." ”

Gu Mojie raised his eyebrows: The people who put out fires before the change are all going to enter Beijing......

This topic can't go on any longer, so let's get straight to the point and ask if there's anything you need to do yourself.
