Chapter 283 Company Registration
Xie Xuewen went downstairs with his suitcase. Zhao Jiaying, who was carrying food into the living room, called him: "Xie Xuechang, wait a minute. I'll give you the money."
Zhao Jiaying put down the rice bowl, took out the money from her wallet, counted it twice, and was about to hand it over.
Xie Xuewen caught a glimpse of Yue Ning coming out with a large teapot with a handle.
Yue Ning looked at the clock in the living room. It was almost six o'clock. Whether it was Guangdong City, Pengcheng, or even Hong Kong City, it was not safe.
She had to bring him back safely, so she said, "It's getting late. You should take the train to Pengcheng now. It's not safe to go out from Pengcheng Railway Station. Let's leave tomorrow morning!"
Xie Xuewen withdrew his hand that was about to take the money.
As soon as he went upstairs, he regretted being too impulsive and ruining his relationship with Yue Ning.
He is a doctoral student who took the initiative to join a team of freshmen and sophomores, mainly because Yue Ning is famous for her generosity. Last year, before Yue Ning entered the school, she recruited a team in the school to be responsible for Ning Xiaochu. The team members received a monthly salary of two to three thousand yuan, and this summer they were organized to go to Japan for an in-depth investigation. She said that she let this team select a site for the new store, and she really didn't care at all.
Any research requires money. If you want to come up with results yourself, of course you want a project sponsor like Yue Ning who has money and doesn't care.
Now that Yue Ning had given him such a way out, he of course had to back down. He said, "Ning Ning, I didn't consider your thoughts just now..."
"Xie, Senior Brother. I'm just reminding you that it's not safe to be on the road at night." Yue Ning said, "You've already raised our level of national chauvinism. We can't work together if we don't share the same ideals."
I thought it was a step, but I didn't expect... Xie Xuewen felt insulted by Yue Ning. He took the money from Zhao Jiaying and gritted his teeth: "Thank you for your concern, but I don't need it."
Xie Xuewen walked out carrying the box, opened the sliding door, and pushed the foot door open hard.
Yue Ning put down the teapot and hurried out to check the foot doors, making sure they were not broken. When she bought this building, the first thing she fell in love with were the two foot doors with their delicate carvings.
Fortunately! Fortunately! Yue Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Yue Ning closed the foot door and then the sliding door.
Fat Qiang tried to squat down and light the mosquito coils. Yue Ning looked at his protruding belly and said, "Fatty! Come jog with me tomorrow morning! I'll help you lose weight. You can't do this."
Fat Qiang stood up: "Xie Xuewen is really sick..."
"Don't bother talking to him, do you hear me?" Yue Ning glared at him. Fatty Qiang was a good guy, but he was too fat. He was out of breath after walking a lot. "Otherwise, don't even think about eating the food I cook."
This was a decisive blow, and Pang Qiang quickly said, "I'll run, I'll run with you."
Everyone sat down together, Zhou Mingxuan served food to everyone, and Zhao Jiaying poured iced lemon tea.
Yue Ning said: "Don't say that others are sick, others look at us and think we are sick! Nowadays, Hong Kong's views on the mainland are divided into two camps. One camp does not want to be involved with the mainland, and the other camp believes that they are Chinese. Both sides stick to their own opinions and no one can convince the other. We respect each other's choices. If we have the same ideas, we will get together. Let's eat."
Pang Qiang didn't need Yue Ning to tell him to eat, he had already put the food in his mouth. The potatoes were warmed soft, the sausage oil had seeped into his mouth, and there was also the fragrant rice crust.
In order to make a living, Yue Ning asked him to run, and he ran.
A few people were eating and chatting about the past two days. The Guangdong Export Commodities Fair has always been held, even in the most difficult years. However, the purchasing intentions of European, American and Japanese countries only started since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States last year.
Neither side understands the other, and there are too many misunderstandings.
Pang Qiang swallowed the food in his mouth: "But their factory can't even find someone who can write English instructions, let alone design packaging and get certification..."
"Yes! We can only help with the translation temporarily. Although I gave the contact information to Director Miao and said I would ask for him, I am just a student. We can't help them for a long time, right?"
Others had the same problem. Everyone said they would help them, but they were also worried about the limits of what they could do.
Yue Ning put down his chopsticks and said, "Brothers and sisters, we study economics and business, but don't you realize that this is all business? We don't have the energy or motivation to provide free services to these factories in the mainland for a long time. But what if it is charged? Are these customers your customers?"
"You mean... starting a company?" Zhao Jiaying's eyes widened.
"But we still have to study!" said Zhou Mingxuan.
"Ningning also wants to study. Isn't she in charge of Baohua Building?" Zhao Jiaying said.
Yue Ning nodded: "Let me take Qiao Junxian's Yimei as an example. He opened an electrical appliance factory in Pengcheng. The production is done in Pengcheng, and what about Yimei in Gangcheng? It does testing, development, inspection workshops and warehouses. The products come off the assembly line in Pengcheng and are directly pulled to the warehouse in Gangcheng. Foreign businessmen inspect the goods and sign the orders in Gangcheng, and the Gangcheng company is responsible for export declaration and foreign exchange settlement. Do you know how much profit he makes?"
"How many?"
"More than 50%." Yue Ning said.
"Isn't this too profitable?"
Yue Ning counted on his fingers: "Workers in Pengcheng earn 80 yuan a month, and R&D engineers in Hong Kong earn 3,000 yuan a month, but an electric fan sold in Hong Kong costs 40 US dollars. How much does it cost to produce it in the mainland? In addition, the mainland is in great need of foreign exchange, so it encourages exports and provides many policies. Hong Kong is a window for foreign trade and risk control. This is actually another kind of front shop and back factory."
Zhou Mingxuan suddenly slammed the table: "I understand! We serve as the window of the port city for the mainland factories. They produce the products, and we are responsible for connecting with foreign companies, handling certification, customs declaration and inspection, and acting as an agent for inspection. We make money from the translation fees and service fees in the middle!"
Zhao Jiaying was startled by him, and the sausage about to be in her mouth fell on the table. She said, "Can you be gentler?"
"And we also conduct factory inspections according to international standards." Yue Ningke remembers that all the food suppliers she uses around the world have to entrust international standards organizations to conduct audits.
"You have me. Now we have factories in the mainland that want to export, and we also have foreign customers. What else do I have?" Yue Ning looked at them and asked.
Several people looked at her, and Zhao Jiaying suddenly realized: "The Qiao family owns a shipping company, and you have resources in freight transportation."
"At the beginning, we rented a small office next to the school and hired two employees to answer your calls, run errands, and handle paperwork. Contacts with Europe and the United States can basically be arranged in the afternoon and evening, and contacts with the mainland will depend on your course schedule." Yue Ning looked at them, "I will provide the funds first, and I will be the name on the company to start it. After three years, we will graduate, and I can withdraw at that time. If any of you have other directions, others can do it. Of course, it is also possible that we fail. Entrepreneurship is all about trying!"
"Ningning..." Zhao Jiaying looked at Yue Ning.
"Let those who are willing to serve the mainland also gain something from the service. I have said: 'Hong Kong is destined to become a bridge connecting the mainland and the world'. Let's not miss this era." Yue Ning said to them, "After washing the dishes, let's sort out the investigation reports collected today."
In the next few days, we changed from "I'm here to help" to "these are our own opportunities", and everyone worked harder. When they left, the leaders thanked them again and again, and Yue Ning took this opportunity to tell Director Chen about their plans.
Having people like Yue Ning and the people she chooses to do this is better than everyone trying all kinds of desperate measures and finding those fake companies. Director Chen and others naturally support it.
The 1970s and 1980s were the time when many wealthy people in Hong Kong made their fortunes. Yue Ning didn't want his network to consist entirely of those old families in Hong Kong. He also wanted to have new elites who had risen up in this wave, and of course it would be best if they had grown up with him.
A group of people returned to Gangcheng, and Yue Ning collected the materials that everyone had sorted out in the past few days. In fact, undergraduates of this era are still mainly taught by teachers and passively accept knowledge. The idea of how to organize these materials is not clear enough, so Yue Ning did it himself first.
Yue Ning was doing homework at home when the phone rang. She answered the phone and Yang Zhijie's voice on the other end was anxious: "Ningning, Xie Xuewen posted a long article in school! The title is "Patriotic Business Suppressed by Capital, an Open Letter to the So-called 'Hong Kong-City Bridge' Team". He said that you used your status as Hong Kong University students and the name of academia to carry out political activities. You know that we are a government-run school, and the most taboo thing is to be involved in activities with political tendencies..."
"It's okay. I'll go to school tomorrow."
Yue Ning hung up the phone, and the phone rang again. This time it was Professor Wan calling.
The teacher first apologized to her, and then said that because Yue Ning had made similar remarks in school before, the school hoped to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Teacher, please wait a moment. I will come right over after I finish writing the manuscript."
"Ningning, you..."
"Please wait for me for about an hour."
Yue Ning quickly sorted out the information, stuffed it into his backpack, took the key, went downstairs to the garage, and opened the car door.
When Yue Ning decided to reward himself, he chose this classic supercar.
The big red Ferrari 308GTS drove from Repulse Bay in the south of Hong Kong Island to Pok Fu Lam Road. This was the first time Yue Ning drove into the school.
Yue Ning parked the sports car in front of the administration building. In the twilight of the campus, students in groups of three or four caught a glimpse of the red Prancing Horse sports car and stopped to look. Yue Ning, a junior schoolmate, was very famous. She had been riding a bike to school since the beginning of the school year and was very low-key. But at this moment, she tore off some kind of disguise with an almost ostentatious attitude.
Yue Ning picked up his backpack, closed the car door, and entered the administrative building.
She went upstairs to the door of the conference room on the third floor. When she opened the door, she saw the same old faces she had seen last time, including Professor Wan and Professor Wu. Xie Xuewen was sitting in the corner with a gloomy face, with a copy of the open letter in front of him.
Yue Ning sat down, and the school director in charge of student affairs said, "Student Yue, we meet again."
"Yes. I didn't expect to meet you again so soon." Yue Ning said with a smile as he looked at the professors.
The professor in front of me pushed up his glasses and said cautiously, "We hope you can explain what the 'political activities' that Xie accused me of are all about."
Yue Ning put down her backpack, took out a stack of documents from it and put them on the table: "First of all, I am a businessman. A fairly talented businessman." She looked around at everyone, her eyes lingering on Xie Xuewen's face, "Businessmen focus on opportunities to make money, not pure academic research. I study the mainland because there are huge business opportunities in the mainland."
Yue Ning handed the document to the professor: "This is a preliminary analysis report drawn up by our team based on the data collected these days."
The professors were passing around documents, and Yue Ning explained: "The core logic of the port city's re-export trade to make profits is to use the port city's own unique geographical location, policy advantages and international network to play the role of an intermediary between mainland China and the global market. Let's start with the policy and geographical advantages. The port city is a free port. Now is the golden window period. Mainland China has not yet fully opened up, foreign exchange controls are strict, and import and export rights are restricted. With its status as an independent customs area, the port city has become the only legal channel for mainland goods to go overseas and international capital to enter the land..."
She talked about geographical and policy advantages, how to use information gaps to provide value-added services, financial settlement and foreign exchange arbitrage, tariff avoidance, and so on.
She also answered the professors' questions from time to time. Finally, she finished her explanation and looked at Xie Xuewen: "Xie, businessmen invest money to get output. I organized this project, invested money, and even participated in it personally because I saw a huge business opportunity. The economic research on Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines you told me about is not a business opportunity I am optimistic about. Therefore, I refused to change the topic to Southeast Asian research. But I also told you that this is a good topic for pure academic research. I suggest that you come back and apply for funding from Professor Wan and form your own research team. How did it become a political tendency?"
The professors understood immediately. Yue Ning looked at the professors and said, "Our team has decided to register a consulting company to provide import and export consulting services to mainland companies. This should be considered a practical activity, right?"
"In that case," the professor handed the document to Yue Ning, and he looked at Xie Xuewen, "this matter ends here. Mr. Xie, the open letter involves defamation. I hope you will go to the Student Affairs Office tomorrow morning to apologize and clarify."
Xie Xuewen looked up suddenly and met Yue Ning's half-smiling gaze.
