Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 329 Tax Calculation and Valuation

"In the company, based on the current number of positions, a total of 108 people are needed. There are three general managers and deputy general managers with a total monthly salary of 7000 US dollars; five directors, each with 1400 US dollars, which happens to be 7000 US dollars."

Breaking fingers, counting accounts.Carter quickly wrote down the monthly expenditure of personnel salaries on the scratch paper in front of him:

"96000 per month, plus the double salary at the end of the year, the annual labor cost is [-]!"

"The bonus expenditure for store appraisal activities is [-] a year! Add in some other various marketing activities, it should be no problem to calculate [-], right?"

On the other side, Anna, who also quickly calculated the cost of the activity, looked up at Carter.

Do you need ninety thousand for a marketing campaign?Fifty stores, an average of $1400 a year, seems not much
"No problem, $1400 a year for a family is not too much!"

"Then that's 50 yuan, plus advertising, marketing costs such as evaluation activities, and rent, at least 20 yuan a year. In addition to the cost of the external audit team, industry consulting fees, and legal counsel fees, Let’s count another 70! That’s a total of [-]!”

Anna nodded:
"How much is it now?"

"About 261 million! R&D costs are high, so let's inject 10 first, it should be no problem, 271 million!"

"That's right, there are also equipment and supplies, especially the depreciation costs and maintenance costs of our cold storage. Carter, why don't you buy some cars for the company later? At least the executives have to get a car to improve the company's image. These valuables can deduct a lot of tax!"

Even if the cost of equipment maintenance and depreciation is calculated at 200 million yuan, if all these are added together, the company's annual operating cost is only about 500 million yuan.If calculated according to the annual revenue of 1320 million, the final corporate income still exceeded the 800 million mark.

There is still a lot to pay in taxes!Besides, just ordinary office equipment, plus the three large cold storages in the area, you can't add such an amount to the maintenance fee, can you?
As for the logistics cost paid to Dongfeng Express, and the cost of purchasing raw materials from food companies, Carter has not included it for the time being.Because this part of the cost is almost exactly offset compared with the profit brought by selling these semi-finished raw materials to the store.

During the expansion period of the new brand, for the franchisees, the discounts and benefits that should be provided still have to be available.
Since there are no other places to do tricks, Anna naturally turned her attention to another kind of expensive equipment!

"Distribution of cars? Uh, how many cars are there only for executives? With five directors, there are only eight cars. How much tax can be saved by depreciation and maintenance of eight luxury cars?"

Carter understands the operation logic of assigning special cars and luxury cars to the management.But this kind of artificial separation of classes instinctively disgusted that little leek and brat in the previous life.

Why do the rest of the workers have to work hard, rushing to squeeze the bus from dawn to dusk. If you want to buy a scooter, you have to grit your teeth and save money for a long time!And these so-called executives can easily buy a car with their own income, but they still need their own boss to provide them with a car.
In terms of their role, their contribution is really great!Carter won't feel bad if he gives them better treatment.But apart from Jinas, Carter really didn't think that other people's contributions could be so great that he needed to consider food, clothing, housing and transportation for them.

In particular, Carter had some doubts about whether Anna was using power for personal gain.
"A lot! Assume that the contract price of a luxury car is 15 U.S. dollars, but the actual purchase price is 12 U.S. dollars. The depreciation is still based on the value of 15 U.S. dollars. In ten years, the annual depreciation cost is 1.5 U.S. dollars. Eight cars It’s 12! Then maintenance and maintenance can be reported more. Luxury cars are naturally more expensive to maintain! The maintenance cost of a car is no problem to report 1 a year. It may only cost 3000 US dollars. Come and go, the tax payable is reduced by 1, the tax is directly saved by 4600 US dollars, the cost is 3000, and 1600 can be saved!"

Anna, who didn't realize that Carter was disgusted with the act of assigning cars to executives, followed Carter's superficial questions and calculated the economic account:

"If you add all these together. 8 cars, the purchase cost is 96 US dollars, the ten-year maintenance, the operating expenditure is 24, and the total cost is 120 million. But the tax saving amount is 120 million plus 80, two million! This can save 92 taxes. No, no, why is this still a loss?"

"Hahaha, that's all right, all right, don't forget about it! Let accountants do these things later! They are professionals, and they know what items can be expanded and what can't. We two laymen, let's start How about this."

Seeing Anna's little confused expression, Carter couldn't help laughing.

so far so good!

If the final economic benefits of allocating cars to executives are greater than not being worthy, then Carter really does not know whether he can stick to his original intention.Become the person you used to hate.
"No, no, wait, this is not right! I remember when I was chatting with Rosalind, I confirmed that these expensive tools are very tax-efficient, and I will do the math again!"

"You do the math yourself, I'll call my friend on Wall Street and ask about the financing!"

Carter had had enough of resting with Anna to settle the useless accounts for a while.Seeing that Anna was still struggling with the numbers, Carter could only let her go.
When he came to his own workstation next door, Carter called Julian.Regarding the financing, Carter was somewhat uncertain:
That's a big Wall Street investment bank!Goldman Sachs!It is said that in the world, it is the most vicious and vicious big capital force!

"Huh? Are you kidding me? A company with a monthly revenue of 110 million, a net profit of more than 60, and almost no debt. With such fundamentals, you tell me that you are worried about financing?"

Julian, who was far away in New York, heard the detailed revenue data reported by Carter on the phone.After asking about the assets and liabilities, I almost blurted out the words "I am Buddha is merciful".

"Even if you don't look at the current revenue, you have to know that fast food chain companies like this are companies with high initial investment and low marginal cost. That is, after the first time a large amount of money has been invested to build a good supply system, production and sales Once the model is formed, the operating cost in the later stage is very low! It is almost impossible for a fast food brand that can achieve this scale of revenue to not be in debt at this stage!"

"If you don't borrow money to build supply chain channels, processing centers, etc., then the cost of its products will not be able to be suppressed. If the cost cannot be reduced, revenue, including gross profit margins, will not be able to increase! If the supply chain is built without debt, it is easy to form A vicious circle, or it can’t scale at all.”

"But you...you have all these, what are you afraid of? Don't care if it's Goldman Sachs or Morgan, with your current situation, you can safely and boldly ask them for a valuation! Believe me, with the current net worth, it will turn 20 Open your mouth, it’s okay!"

"Because you have passed the most difficult step from 0 to 1 in any business! Moreover, you have passed it steadily. Now with their financing, it is nothing more than allowing you to scale up faster, but there is no , it’s not impossible to play!”

"You are not a start-up, nor are you just a small store with nothing in your hands! What you have in your hands is a complete business model that is even working well! At this time, when they come in, they just come and forget it , I, Tiger, will invest 100 million for you, and I really don’t have any more. I don’t care what valuation you will negotiate with Goldman Sachs, anyway, it’s 100 million US dollars, and I’ll give it to you! How many stocks I can eat, I want as much as Tiger! "

"Do you understand this attitude? If you really don't understand, you can call Mr. Lynch again"
