Chapter 93: Deceiving the Leader
Fang Bai said: "Leader, if it is a financial difficulty, I have a trick. There is not much, but it is no problem to increase tax revenue by one to two million yuan in the short term. It should be able to solve some problems."
Gu Wen smiled, waved his hand and said, "You don't mean to sell land, do you? That's not acceptable."
Land resources in the county are limited and must be allocated to good projects according to plans.
"Of course not. Selling land indiscriminately is just a waste of money."
Gu Wen became interested when he heard what Fang Bai said: "Oh, if it's not about selling land to support finances, let's talk about it and thank you for relieving the county government's worries."
He said and motioned for Fang Bai to sit on the solid wood sofa. Fang Bai nodded and sat on the sofa near the door. Secretary Wu personally poured tea for Fang Bai. After pouring the tea, he exited the office.
Under normal circumstances, if the leader wants the secretary to stay, he will naturally tell him "stay and listen." If he doesn't say it, he doesn't need to stay.
Fang Bai approached Gu Wen privately and did not bring it up in the conference room just now. Naturally, he did not want more people to know about it. Gu Wen naturally understood and had to talk privately.
After seeing Secretary Wu leaving, Fang Bai said: "That's it, I plan to hold a lottery in the near future to promote the economy and Wencheng culture.
People voluntarily participate, and there will be a draw of 2 yuan each, with prizes including Santana cars, motorcycles, color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, bicycles, etc. The total planned prize value is about 10 million yuan.
Prizes should be selected from local products as much as possible to promote consumption and enterprise development.
Of course, I don’t do it in vain. If I’m lucky, I’ll earn some hard-earned money. If I’m not lucky, I’ll lose a lot.
But regardless of whether it is profitable or not, I will donate 1% of the turnover to the school to support poor students, and 12.5% of the turnover will be used as a minimum tax. "
Fang Bai could not find any explicit provisions on the need to pay taxes for holding scratch-off activities. If he really had to pay, he would have to pay 25% corporate income tax and 3%-5% business tax.
In 2002, the State Administration of Taxation had a rule that no business tax would be levied on the income derived from the issuance and sale of welfare lottery tickets by welfare lottery organizations. However, except for the return of bonuses, issuance funds, public welfare funds, etc., the corporate income tax was temporarily exempted. The rest of the bulk of the profits were still subject to corporate income tax. Collect corporate income tax.
In other words, public companies are not exempt from corporate income tax, let alone private companies engaging in this big prize lottery.
Fang Bai estimated that if the sales were 10 million yuan, his gross profit would be no less than 5 million yuan, and the corporate income tax would be no less than 1.25 million yuan.
His plan is to sell the face value of about 16 million yuan, the total value of the prizes is about 10 million yuan, the purchase price is estimated to be about 5 million yuan, and the maximum gross profit margin is about 11 million yuan. If normal taxes are paid, it will be 2.5 million yuan at least.
Instead of passively paying, it is better to actively pay and use it as a bargaining chip to hold this event.
It was difficult to hide sales during this activity, so Fang Bai never thought about tax evasion to avoid being reckoned with in the future.
As for the 1% donation, he naturally wants to do good things, and of course, he also wants to use this name to promote sales.
Excluding taxes and expenses, if everything is sold out, Fang Bai can make a profit of 7 to 8 million, but if the sales are hot, then he will do it for a few more days.
You can only do it once in a lifetime, and the entire city of Wenzhou can only do it once in a few years. If you do it again, the effect will be greatly reduced.
Gu Wen was shocked by what Fang Bai said. It was the first time he heard that there was such a lottery. He frowned slightly, his eyes bright, and asked seriously: "The prize is really a Santana car?"
"Of course, no less than five cars, no false propaganda or secret operations." Fang Bai plans to buy five cars, but will display no less than five cars.
Although he does not engage in secret operations, he will distribute the scratch prizes of these grand prizes evenly.
If there are 10 million lottery tickets, and one car lottery ticket is mixed with every two million lottery tickets, the second batch of two million lottery tickets can only be obtained after the current batch of two million lottery tickets is sold, instead of putting out all the lottery tickets. For customers to choose from.
Unlike a few years later, there were too many behind-the-scenes operations in lottery draws.
Gu Wen asked: "Then you are preparing millions of prizes, so do you need to spend such a large amount of money?"
"The value of the prizes will not be discounted. The industrial and environmental (commercial) department can verify the prices. I plan to prepare prizes worth 10 million yuan."
"The prize is worth ten million yuan. How much is the total face value of the lottery? Isn't it tens of millions of yuan? What is the winning rate?"
"The winning rate is 25%. The total face value of the plan is about 16 million yuan. It seems that the gross profit margin is 6 million yuan. But after excluding taxes and expenses, even if all are sold out, it will be good to make 3 million yuan, but if the sales are not Well, then I will definitely lose money." Fang Bai smiled lightly, understanding that the county magistrate must ask clearly about this kind of thing, otherwise he would think it was illegal fund-raising.
Gu Wen took a sip of tea and pondered the nature of this lottery.
If you are trying to get into trouble, to put it bluntly, it is deceiving people into gambling, and Fang Bai is the banker.
From another perspective, this is just a small public activity that can promote consumption and business development.
But he finally understood that Fang Bai must be optimistic about this event. Even if the loss is a small loss, but if the sales are booming, he can indeed make a lot of money, certainly more than three million yuan. This guy did not say how much the total purchase price is.
It’s hard to ask the specific amount. It’s true that businessmen can’t afford it early because they have no profit.
Of course, Fang Bai also said that 12.5% of sales will be used as a minimum tax.
No matter what happens in the county, it is a business without capital.
If sales are booming, tax revenue of about two million yuan can be obtained, which can indeed slightly reduce the burden on the county.
Moreover, it will have no bad impact on the county or him. Fang Bai also said that this is a lottery to promote economic development and Wencheng culture, and it is held in the name of Xinghai Company.
Since it is harmless, it is okay for Gu Wen to agree to such activities.
However, Gu Wen still asked Fang Bai cautiously:
"Are you so confident that the event will be successful?"
Fang Bai replied: "Investment is risky, and there is no guarantee of making money. It's just that you are more certain. After all, the winning rate is so high, and it is not a fake activity.
I need support from leaders and relevant departments. "
Gu Wen nodded in agreement with his statement and asked: "Well, tell me, what support do you need?"
Fang Bai already had a plan in mind and said: “First, we need to obtain approval from the water resources department;
The second point is that tens of thousands of people may participate in such an event, and there may be some thieves who fish in troubled waters or make trouble, and a dozen police comrades are needed to protect the event site.
Of course, after the event, I plan to donate some bicycles to the relevant departments that assisted. Some employees in these units still do not have bicycles, which makes it inconvenient to go to work and affects the public's services. "
Fang Bai knew Gu Wen's general situation. He had just arrived in Yongjia County for less than half a year, and his current work was not going very smoothly.
Holding such an event mainly requires personnel from the soil and water department to bear witness and police to maintain the scene.
Fang Bai planned to donate fifty bicycles to each of the two departments to gain support. The employees who received the bicycles were of course delighted. If Gu Wen nodded in support, then he would naturally receive strong support from the leaders of the two departments.
But from another perspective, after all, this is to increase tax revenue for the county. The county should send some people to support such activities and donate bicycles to those departments. It will be more convenient for employees to go to work and have more energy to serve the people. This can be regarded as Do things for the people.
Gu Wen thought for a while and finally decided: "Okay, I agree to this activity.
I can say hello to both departments if you need me.
However, I would like to remind you that you must abide by laws and regulations when doing business and do not engage in false propaganda that harms the interests of the people. "
"Of course, leader, please rest assured.
When Xinghai Company develops to a certain scale, it will definitely give back to the society. "Fang Bai got Gu Wen's agreement, smiled and promised.
Finally got Shang Fang’s sword!
"By the way, when will your event be held?"
“It’s planned to be during the Lantern Festival, and I’m a bit pressed for time, so I may not be able to arrange it. If I can’t make it, it’s okay to postpone it for a few days.
I would not dare to engage in such an activity without the approval of the leader. "Fang Bai said with a smile.
In fact, the best time to hold it is during the Spring Festival. People have time and money, but they just can’t make it.
There's nothing you can do about it, so just extend the holding time.
"Okay, I'll call the relevant department leaders soon."
"Okay, thank you, leader." Fang Bai thanked him again. Time was a bit tight and he had a lot to do. After chatting for a few words, he left Gu Wen's office.
The first step, and the most critical step, was to obtain the consent of the county, which was finally achieved.
In the next second step, Fang Bai plans to summon people to distribute work. He can't do it alone.
