Chapter 54: Become Bigger and Stronger
Question: How should I spend the money after suddenly earning 7 million?
According to Meng Bai's plan, he plans to move first, then buy a car, and then buy computers, graphics cards, and game consoles that he could not afford before. The remaining money can be used for investment, or saved for the filming of other works in the future. Forget about buying a house.
Not to mention whether he can buy one without a Beijing North hukou, it seems a loss to exchange such a large sum of money for a 200-square-meter place.
However, soon, his financial director Chen Jing threw away his financial plan that focused on "doing whatever you want".
"The 7 million is now the company's operating income. If you transfer all of it to your own account, it will be personal income, and you will need to pay more than 40%, or nearly 3 million in personal income tax." Chen Jing explained to Meng Bai.
"So much!" Meng Bai really hadn't thought about this problem. After all, most of the time before, he couldn't even reach the tax threshold and had no awareness of paying taxes.
Chen Jing gave her "novice" boss some popular science. Generally speaking, self-employed business operators like him can put money in the company's account, and then buy what they need in the name of the company.
In this way, not only only a single-digit percentage of corporate operating tax is required, but the things purchased can also be used as the company's management assets or operating costs, and further deduct taxes.
In other words, as long as the subject of spending money is changed, Meng Bai can save more than 90% of taxes, and it is reasonable and legal.
"Tsk, I said that since I was a child, I always hear the bosses of those big companies say "one dollar annual salary" and "no income work". It seems that they are all playing this game."
Meng Bai sighed, and then decided to follow the method recommended by Chen Jing. By the way, he reminded her that the taxes she should pay still need to be paid.
"I understand." Chen Jing nodded, hesitated for a moment, and continued to ask: "Boss, I have a question."
"Go ahead."
"What are your plans for the development of the company in the future?" Chen Jing asked. Seeing that Meng Bai didn't seem to understand what she meant, she explained: "I mean, do you only plan to use the company as a studio to serve individuals, or do you want to run the company seriously?"
"Is there any need to ask this?" Meng Bai said as a matter of course: "What's the point of a studio? Of course, we want to make it bigger and stronger and create brilliance!"
Chen Jing heard this and nodded: "I understand. If this is the case, then we may need a detailed development plan."
After that, Chen Jing took out a thick business plan and handed it over. Meng Bai took it and took a look, and then couldn't help but jump his eyelids - this is a very detailed corporate development plan, which can be seen at a glance that it has been prepared in advance.
"Is this... written after you came?" Meng Bai asked in surprise.
"Well... not all." Chen Jing's face, which had always been calm, showed a rare smile. She pushed her glasses lightly and said, "I used to work in a start-up company. The company was small, with few people, and everyone had multiple jobs. I had some ideas for running a business at the time, but I thought I had no chance to try it out. I didn't expect to meet you, the boss. I have made some adjustments in the past few days according to some characteristics of the film and television industry, and I hope it can be used."
"Talent!" Meng Bai looked at Chen Jing with respect and admiration.
What is a good employee? This is a good employee! The boss hasn't even started to consider future development, and she has even made a plan. Although I don't know how the quality is, judging from her attitude, it can be said that "the capitalists are moved and the boss is pleased."
"Sister Jing!" Meng Bai took Chen Jing's hand and said eagerly: "Our company is just starting out now, and it's too much nonsense to talk to you about dry shares, options, etc. But don't worry, when the company grows and becomes stronger, you, as a veteran, will have everything you deserve, and you will definitely not be treated unfairly."
"..." Chen Jing pulled her hand out and said calmly: "Boss, don't be so excited. I just want the company to develop better, so that I have a reason not to go home, so that my parents won't urge me to get married again."
"Don't worry, just work hard here! Boss, not only will I not urge you to get married, I also wish you to break off all worldly ties and be alone."
"...Thank you, boss."

According to Chen Jing's suggestion, Meng Bai has begun to transform the shell company Arc Light Films during this period.
First, he rented a two-story building in an industrial park on the North Fourth Ring Road as the company's office. The total area is about 300 square meters, and there is a small yard behind the building. The annual rent is more than 500,000.
Now that we have an office, we need to recruit employees. After all, it is not possible for Meng Bai and his three people to stay in a place of more than 300 square meters.
Some traditional film and television companies often have a large number of employees. In addition to various administrative personnel, they will also sign many technicians, screenwriters, directors, musicians, etc. There
is no need for a small company like Arc Light Film and Television to be so complete. Meng Bai first recruited two clerks, who were mainly responsible for some daily documents or procedures, and occasionally worked part-time as a front desk receptionist.
He also asked the property management of the park to help and found a cleaning lady to be responsible for daily cleaning. After finishing the work, he called Liu Zhi again to ask if he was interested in coming to Arc Light Film and Television.
"No problem, Brother Meng, you opened a company, and I, Old Liu, have to help you with the venue." Liu Zhi agreed on the phone.
Hearing the other party's agreement, Meng Bai was also very happy. When filming "Soul Ferry" before, Liu Zhi helped him manage the production team and cooperated tacitly. In particular, this kid has a wide network of contacts in various crews in the northern part of Beijing, and he is also the person Arc Light Film and Television needs.
Meng Bai gave him the title of film and television department manager, and then asked him to recruit people on his own, and to find Chen Jing when he needed to spend money. And he had only one requirement for him, that is, if he needed to form a crew, he had to find the people he needed as soon as possible.
Meng Bai didn't care much about the recruitment of these framework administrative personnel, and basically let Chen Jing and Hua Yan take care of it. The only two departments he valued and was personally responsible for were the Finance Department and the Legal Department.
The importance of the Finance Department is unquestionable. Although Meng Bai still trusts Chen Jing, there is no need to always rely on human nature for such things, which is tiring for everyone.
As for the Legal Department, it is equally important for film and television companies. However, Arc Light Film and Television does not need to form its own exclusive legal department for the time being, so this part is directly outsourced to a red circle law firm.
For a week, Meng Bai did nothing but sort out these personnel structures and office supporting facilities.
But don't say it, after all this tossing, the originally empty Arc Light Film and Television now looks like a complete company.
"Your place looks pretty good."
In the courtyard behind the Arc Light Film and Television Building, Li Qin looked around and exclaimed.
"Do you like it?" Meng Bai took two steps closer from behind and said, "If you like it, you are welcome to switch to our Arc Light. I promise that you will be the top sister when you come."
"Ha, 'top sister' means 'only sister', right?" Li Qin said, looking back and found Meng Bai standing closely behind her. Her face suddenly turned red, and she took a half step back and said in panic, "You, why are you so close?"
Meng Bai smiled and took a step to the side, but said, "Aren't we talking about job hopping? We have to be cautious about such secret matters."
"No need. I still have a five-year contract in the company. What, is President Meng going to help me pay the liquidated damages?"
"Ha, if I don't show you my strength, you won't know how strong I am now. Tell me, how much is the liquidated damages, and President Meng will pay it."
"30 million."
"...Actually, the scenery here is also pretty good. I'll take you to see it."
Thanks to the reward from the big brother "Royal Noble-2008"!
PS: I counted carefully again using a calculator, and seven million should indeed have six zeros. Sorry everyone, my child has never seen so much money since he was a child, and he got so excited when he wrote it.
