In the Mexican restaurant, Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi were sitting face to face.
This restaurant is on the eighth floor of the shopping mall. It is not of high quality and is just a "home-style restaurant". Yin Lianyi is a girl from an urban village and doesn't mind the so-called style at all.
Although Lin Sanqi had money in his pocket, he had not yet caught up with the world's development. He had never thought about booking the revolving restaurant on the 108th floor, hiring a band, or opening a bottle of vintage red wine.
If he were asked to book a hotel room now, he probably wouldn't choose the presidential suite for five weeks, because he would be reluctant to spend the money.
Before the dishes were served, Yin Lianyi asked curiously:
"Are you planning to start a company? There's no need, right? If you just want to sell cordyceps, Angong pills, and the like, you can just buy a storefront and open a health product store. That way, you can minimize costs and maximize profits."
Look, girls who study finance have such sharp vision, they first consider the cost ratio.
"Hey, you're underestimating me, aren't you? We're planning to register three companies at once. One specializes in selling premium Chinese medicinal herbs, one specializes in selling premium food ingredients. They're all high-end, and the other one is my dad's Chinese medicine clinic..."
"Selling top-grade Chinese medicinal herbs?"
Yin Lianyi thought of the Cordyceps sinensis sold by Lin Sanqi before. A small box of only 20 pieces cost tens of thousands of yuan. It was indeed top-notch.
But the girl had seen some things in the banking industry, and she still had some questions in her mind:
"Top-quality Chinese medicinal herbs are good, but the problem is that the supply of top-quality ingredients is unstable. And you have to buy all sorts of top-quality ingredients. If there's a shortage of them during the procurement process, won't your company go bankrupt?"
Lin Sanqi was so angry that his teeth itched: "Yin Bastard, my army hasn't even opened yet, and you're cursing me to close down?"
Yin Lianyi begged for mercy upon hearing this: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just trying to remind you kindly."
Lin Sanqi rolled his eyes:
"Don't worry, since I dare to open a company and sell top-quality Chinese medicinal herbs and food ingredients, I naturally have a stable supply channel. Moreover, this channel is entirely in my hands, so there will be no problem at all."
Yin Lianyi's eyes turned, and she immediately thought of the reason why her old classmate invited her to dinner:
"Thirteen o'clock, you're not going to ask me to work as a financial officer in your new company, are you?"
"Ben, you're so smart! You guessed it right away. Hehe, after all, we're good brothers. And you're the only one I know who studied finance and has experience in this field."
"Do you trust me that much?"
A company's financial manager is the boss's most trusted confidant. In many family businesses, the finances are often managed personally by the "boss's wife", and the boss must have 100% control over the incoming and outgoing funds.
This shows the importance of this position.
"Of course I want to invite you because I trust you. My father and I are both medical students and know nothing about finance. My mother is a rural woman. Although she can read, it is obviously impossible for her to take charge of the overall situation.
I just hired my cousin as general manager. He'll be responsible for setting up the company's structure and sales team, essentially handing over all the power to form a cabinet. But I can't hand over the financial management, and I don't want to hire another family relative as the financial manager.
But if I ask a headhunting company to help me find a financial manager, talented people will definitely not want to come to a startup like ours, and mediocre people are either incompetent or not trustworthy.
So after much thought, the first person I thought of was you, my old classmate and good brother. Don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly when you come to our company. You don't have to drive that electric car anymore, I'll buy you a Maybach!"
Southerners don't trust professional managers.
But in fact, family businesses also have disadvantages. That is, relatives in the company can easily form a small interest group, collude with each other, poach employees, and eventually drive a healthy company into bankruptcy.
Outsiders are unreliable, and relatives are not necessarily reliable either.
The best way is to learn the art of ruling. A company should have two factions, which belong to each other, dislike each other, and keep a close eye on each other to see if they make mistakes.
This way the boss can rest assured.
Yin Lianyi had already heard that Lin Sanqi invited her sincerely, and she couldn't help feeling happy. It turned out that she was quite popular in the workplace.
At the same time, she felt a little nervous. If she agreed to Lin Sanqi's request, she would have to handle it alone, and she didn't have the confidence.
"Hey, this, I'm a newbie who just graduated. Are you really willing to let me be in charge of your company's finances? Aren't you afraid that I'll ruin your company?"
Lin Sanqi looked at his old classmate who looked unsure and laughed:
"Don't worry, our company's finances are very simple at the beginning. We just record the sales amount and then calculate the profit after deducting the operating costs. The rest is all about the company's various expenses and filing taxes on time. There's nothing else particularly complicated."
Yin Lianyi was in finance after all, and she immediately spotted the flaw:
"That's not right. Why didn't you ask the finance department to sort out the invoice list when you went to purchase and submit it for reimbursement? You also need to know the cost to calculate the profit."
Lin Sanqi knew this question would come up, and had already thought of a solution:
"Let me give you an example: I buy my Cordyceps sinensis directly from local herders on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Where do I get the invoices? As your boss, I can only give you a rough estimate.
After I purchase things from outside, you, the finance department, need to organize a group of people to process, count and put them into storage. This link is very important.
You will be in charge of keeping track of the inventory in the warehouse and performing weekly accounting. All shipments must have your approval slip."
Lin Sanqi’s ideal model is to let Lin Tianhua only take care of sales.
Compare how much you have sold with the quantity shipped out. If they match, there is no problem. If they don’t match, there is corruption. It’s simple and clear.
But on the other hand, the power of the Finance Department has become very great, which is why Lin Sanqi does not trust professional managers and only trusts his own people.
Yin Lianyi disagrees:
"If you don't have an invoice, you'll be at a disadvantage in terms of tax because you can't deduct it, and if your sales are high, the tax rate will be much higher."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that I was almost buying for free, so it doesn’t matter if the tax rate is a little higher. Anyway, I have earned enough, and the extra tax I pay can be regarded as a contribution to the country’s purchase of aircraft carriers.
"If I'm not afraid of high taxes, can I just have a handwritten receipt without a purchase invoice?"
Yin Lianyi thought for a moment and said with certainty, "Okay."
"That's all, don't worry about the details."
The tax authorities will look at how much you sold for, and then determine how much you have to pay based on this amount. As long as you pay them every penny, they don't care how much it cost you to purchase the goods.
What's more, Cordyceps is a specialty of China and cannot be smuggled in from foreign countries, so there are no import and export legal issues.
The tax authorities will only focus on those companies that evade taxes.
There is a way to cheat, which is to register a company in the original real estate, but this involves many aspects and is very troublesome. Lin Sanqi doesn't want to waste this brain cell.
The dishes came and the two began to enjoy the food, but Yin Lianyi was obviously a little absent-minded.
"Thirteen o'clock, if I go to work in your company, what position will I be in?"
Lin Sanqi chewed and casually replied, "Finance Manager, top boss. How's that? Pretty decent, right?"
Yin Lianyi was ecstatic, but then worriedly asked, "Ah, then I'll be alone?"
"One person is definitely not enough. I can authorize you to form a finance department. You can recruit some of your classmates or bank colleagues. Your salary will definitely double."
"That's great, that's great! From now on, I'll have the final say in the Finance Department, and I won't have to endure the boss's wrath anymore!"
Yin Lianyi looked at Lin Sanqi like a little fanboy: "Hey, you really trust me enough. Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with all your family's money?"
Lin Sanqi smiled contemptuously:
"You can run away, but you can't run away from the temple. If you dare to embezzle my money, I will lead Shilou Village to flatten your Pingle Village, hehe."
"Tsk~~~ childish! Oh, and here's another very important question: how much salary are you planning to pay me?"
After Yin Lianyi finished speaking, she blinked her big eyes, her eyes filled with clear "greed".
Lin Sanqi always remembered what his uncle once said: if you want a horse to run fast, you must feed it well, so he held up a finger:
"One million base salary..."
"Ah!" Yin Lianyi covered her mouth in surprise.
"At the end of the year, we will distribute dividends based on the company's profits, and there will also be a bonus of no less than 1 million..."
"Wow~~~ Are you serious? How can a startup offer such a high salary? With 2 million, you can hire 10 accountants. Will you lose money if you start a company?"
Lin Sanqi was stunned for a moment, then felt a little touched. After knowing the sky-high annual salary, this old classmate was not happy at first, but felt sorry for his money.
She is indeed a girl who has not been polluted by the big dye vat of society. Her original intention is still there, and that original intention is still there...
"Don't worry, the future financial director of the Lin Group is worth this annual salary. This is the first year, and your salary will increase every year thereafter."
"Are you really going to give me that much?"
"Really~~~"
"Ah~~Lin Sanqi, with this much money, don't even think about working for you, it's enough for you to support me~~~"
Yin Lianyi suddenly stood up, sat next to Lin Sanqi, and suddenly hugged him and shouted excitedly, which attracted the attention of the diners next to her. Then they all smiled and said nothing, thinking that the young couple was joking.
Lin Sanqi was hugged by Yin Lianyi, and his heartbeat quickened as he felt the softness in her arms.
Oh my god, it’s so nice to have money!
The two of them argued for a long time before Yin Lianyi asked:
"Thirteen o'clock, oh bah, it's Mr. Lin, then when do I start work?"
Lin Sanqi coughed lightly and sat up straight. Unfortunately, the softness disappeared in just a few seconds.
"We'll have to wait for the specific contract until my uncle registers the company. Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. If you want to start working, you have to resign from your previous company first, right? But tomorrow is the weekend, so you have to do me a favor first."
Yin Lianyi was in no mood to eat, she was still in a state of excitement:
"What favor? Tell me."
"Someone from Hong Kong is coming to discuss purchasing tomorrow. Please act as my secretary." (End of this chapter)
