"Uncle Yang, how are our taxes reported now?"
Yang Huajin was in charge of the company's specific management, while Fang Yang was only in charge of the general direction, so he really didn't know anything about tax declaration.
"Our company files tax returns quarterly. It's September now, so the third quarter's tax return will be filed on the first working day of October, which is October 8th."
"So that means we can file our third-quarter tax returns with Xihu City?"
"We can only report a portion of it here. You need to understand that the tax invoices we received before were all from Shanghai. From the moment our company issued the invoices, they were already recorded in the Shanghai tax system, and that cannot be changed!"
Fang Yang smiled awkwardly at Ouyang Ming and Zhou Hongguang, "So how much of our tax return can we include in the Xihu City tax declaration right now?"
"Well, our own movie has already finished its theatrical run. All we can report now is this month's revenue from theaters, the fees from singers' commercial performances, and this month's revenue from the website. It adds up to only a few tens of millions."
"Alright, starting this month, try to file all your tax returns through the group company's accounts. Tomorrow, contact the finance department and have them hand over the tax information to the Xihu City Tax Bureau to install the Xihu City tax filing system. From now on, you can file your tax returns through the group company."
After giving instructions to Yang Huajin, Fang Yang smiled at Zhou Hongguang and said, "The financial situation this month is not ideal because we don't have many works. However, the company has a new movie released on October 1st and an album will be released on New Year's Day, so the situation will improve."
"It's alright, it's alright. This was just something we mentioned at the last minute. Your company was only recently registered in our city, so we understand."
Fang Yang noticed the fleeting sadness in Zhou Hongguang's eyes and thought for a moment, "Your Xihu City should have a tourism promotion on October 1st, right? How about I sing you a song about Jiangnan? We can release it on our website, and you can use it as a promotional song. Mayor Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Hongguang had already given up hope, so when he heard Fang Yang say this, he was naturally overjoyed. You see, since Fang Yang released an album before the Lunar New Year last year, he hadn't released any songs for almost a year. He usually focused on filming. Although he had released more than a dozen songs and received a great response, none of them were performed by Fang Yang himself.
As a municipal government leader, Zhou Hongguang was not very clear about the entertainment industry, but he knew that Fang Yang had a song that boosted the winter tourism season in Urumqi and had a very obvious effect on Urumqi's economy. This was the first time that Fang Yang had come to the attention of municipal government leaders across the country.
"That's great! Our Xihu City is lacking such a hot topic. If tourism in Xihu City surges during this year's National Day holiday, I'd like to nominate you as the image ambassador for Xihu City, Secretary Ouyang. What do you think?"
Ouyang Ming and Fang Yang had an extraordinary relationship, and Zhou Hongguang reciprocated in kind. The key point was that the benefits ultimately went to the municipal government. With Yuewen Entertainment Group's annual revenue of several hundred billion yuan, the municipal government was the biggest beneficiary of the tax revenue, recruitment, and tourism income generated from it. Zhou Hongguang would not be stingy with any nominal support.
"That's a good idea, Mr. Fang. Having the title of City Image Ambassador will make things easier for you when you're dealing with various departments in Xihu City. Once you move here and your data improves, you can try to get a CPPCC representative or a People's Congress representative. It will only benefit you and not harm you."
Fang Yang hadn't expected such a small amount of support to bring such benefits. "Then thank you both for your consideration. I'll record the song in the next couple of days. Mayor Zhou will then coordinate with your publicity department to add some background images to maximize the effect. You can contact our General Manager Yang when to start the promotion. After recording the song, I'll go directly to Hengdian to continue filming the TV series. I really can't find the time!"
Zhou Hongguang laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. It's hard work for you, President Fang. You're so busy with other things, yet you still have to work so hard for the tourism industry in Xihu City."
"Mayor Zhou, you flatter me. Our cooperation is mutually beneficial. From now on, we will also be a part of Xihu City, and we need to work hard to maintain the city's image."
After a grand banquet, Fang Yang wrote "Blue and White Porcelain" and sent it to Zhu Laosan. There are many songs describing West Lake, but if you want to know which one best embodies the charm of Jiangnan, it has to be "Blue and White Porcelain". Although there are some traditional Chinese style songs in the music scene now, Fang Yang believes that "Blue and White Porcelain" will definitely set off a craze for traveling to Jiangnan!
Fang Yang really likes this song "Blue and White Porcelain". As the song is sung, a picture of misty rain in Jiangnan slowly unfolds. A girl holding an umbrella slowly walks across an ancient bridge. It is poetic, picturesque, and captivating, perfectly matching the scenic spots of Xihu City.
Fang Yang had wanted to release this song before, but he never had the opportunity. Now it's perfect to use it in conjunction with Zhou Hongguang's National Day tourism promotion. It's a brilliant idea!
The following day, at 9:18 a.m., Fang Yang and Ouyang Ming, each holding a colorful ball, took scissors from the ceremonial ladies as the master of ceremonies announced their names. Amidst the booming sound of celebratory cannons, they each cut off a section of red sleeve. Yang Huajin and others then shoveled soil and poured it onto the erected monument.
Two excavators started up simultaneously, and the deafening roar signaled the official start of the groundbreaking ceremony. The Blueberry TV reporter who accompanied Ouyang Ming filmed the entire process, and this scene will be edited and broadcast on Blueberry TV's news channel tonight, reaching thousands of households in front of the TV.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Ouyang Ming and his entourage hurriedly left to head to their next stop. As the Party Secretary of Xihu City and a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, Ouyang Ming's daily schedule is packed, and any delay of more than half an hour will affect his departure to the next stop!
This was the first time the Mo brothers had visited the headquarters construction site. Gazing at the endless construction site, their titanium alloy eyes were already wide with astonishment, especially at the imported site plan, the shock of which was indescribable.
"President Fang, this is our headquarters? It's truly breathtaking! I wish I could work here right now!"
"Be patient. A year and a half will pass quickly; it'll be over in the time it takes to make a few movies."
Fang Yang patted Mo Sang on the shoulder, "There's a large fishing area here. You can fish here whenever you're free. If I want to eat fish next time, I'll give it to you two."
Mo Sang searched for a long time on the floor plan, "This is it, but I'll have to switch to a surf rod, and maybe I'll also need some Dyneema line."
"Then let's see what you're capable of. You catch a lot of big fish here. See this whirlpool? It easily causes fish to migrate. So it's an excellent fishing spot. During breaks in filming, you two brothers will have something to do. You can come over anytime you have time."
The Mo brothers looked at the floor plan and drooled. For a fishing enthusiast, this place was simply paradise, a priceless holy land!
