Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 144 Creating IDE Capital
One and a half hours later.
Even if it was a state banquet, it would take this long to finish.

Fu Songyang watched Gu Heng put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile, "How does it taste?"

Gu Heng shook his head: "To be honest, it's not that good."

"How to say?"

"When you told me it was a state banquet, I thought it was delicious, especially the boiled cabbage. I often saw this dish online saying how great it was, and I always thought it was delicious.
But today is the first time, how do I feel?
It's no different from cooking cabbage with MSG. If there is a difference, it's that cooking cabbage with MSG is cheap. A few dollars can cook a pot of cabbage. The portion of cabbage served at the state banquet should be enough for ordinary people to eat for a year."

Gu Heng's main point is to tell the truth.
Gu Heng was actually looking forward to this state banquet.
But I was very disappointed after eating it. It was not even as good as the Cantonese food that Gu Heng had in Hong Kong Island. The only good thing was the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Shark's Fin.
Listening to Gu Heng's complaints, Fu Songyang didn't say anything yet, Li Zi beside him agreed with Gu Heng very much, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice and echoing: "That's right, there's really nothing to eat, I think it doesn't even taste as good as the street food in Beijing.

If Brother Yang hadn't told me that there were new members joining HAC today, I definitely wouldn't have come."

Lu Yuan put down his chopsticks, shook his head with a faint smile on his face and said: "It's not that the state banquet food is not delicious, it's that your taste has been spoiled. Do you believe it, if the hotel outside is of this level, it should at least be a Michelin two-star or even three-star one?"

Gu Heng and Li Zi shook their heads at the same time to express their disbelief.

Not to mention the Michelin two-star restaurant, even the one-star restaurant in Michelin would be better than the one here.
Seeing the two people shaking their heads, Lu Yuan smiled and continued, "It's normal to think it doesn't taste good. It's mainly because the form is more important than the actual content.

These state banquet dishes are mainly for the sake of pomp and circumstance, and taste is secondary.

Take boiled cabbage for example. The process is so complicated. They use more than a dozen kinds of meat to make soup, and then filter out the protein and other things in the soup. What do you think is left in the soup? It's nothing but some broth and MSG flavor. Cabbage is only a few cents per pound in the market. Even if you put gold rims on it, it still tastes like that.

The same goes for this chrysanthemum tofu. Even if you blend it into a paste in a blender, isn’t it still tofu?"

Fu Songyang also smiled after Lu Yuan finished speaking and said, "Old Lu is right. In terms of food, the state banquet dishes are indeed not very delicious, but the emphasis is on such a grand occasion. We are just here for fun."

Listening to Lu Yuan and Fu Songyang talking, Gu Heng also understood what they meant.
This is similar to the useless service Gu Heng experienced in a five-star hotel.
For example, can the hotel’s turndown service really help people sleep better?
of course not
After all, who doesn't know how to make the bed?
But this useless service has become an indispensable service in a five-star hotel. Why?
Because of the style.

Again.
Form is greater than content
Eating state banquet food at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, even if the food there is not tasty, is still better than eating at hotels and restaurants where you can pay for food. And this table of food, which costs nearly 10 yuan, is expensive only because of the quality.
Um.
I also learned new things that rich people must experience.
Culture of pomp and circumstance
As expected, if you want to become a rich person, you must first understand rich people.
Ordinary people care about cost performance, while rich people care about appearance.
This is why there are so many people on the Internet saying that rich people are taken advantage of.
Different standpoints lead to different ways of looking at problems.
The waiter poured a cup of hot tea into the cup in front of Gu Heng, picked it up and took a sip: "I plan to register a company in Beijing, but I don't know the specific process.

You are all big guys, can you pass on some of your experience to me? "

"Registering a company is easy, how about I help you do it?"

Listening to Fu Songyang's words, Gu Heng's eyes lit up: "Can I ask someone else to do it for me?"

"Why not? There are a lot of shell companies on the market now, and they have all the necessary qualifications. Even companies with international qualifications can be hired with a few hundred thousand dollars, and the legal representative will arrange everything for you. Even if you are just playing around, you will not be held responsible if something goes wrong with the company in the future."

“Is there still such a business?”

Fu Songyang shrugged his shoulders. "They are just skirting the law. What kind of industry doesn't have shady ways to make money? They only need to invest some time in this order, but if they sell it, they can make tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in pure profit. It's a business with no capital and can make a living for three years. What can't they do?"

Once again, I gained knowledge.
"Brother Yang, do you have any channels?"

“Nonsense, I’ve asked you, there must be a channel.

What type of company are you going to register?

"Financial investment, maybe."

"OK."

Hearing Gu Heng's request, Fu Songyang directly dialed a number, and after a few brief instructions, he turned his head and smiled at Gu Heng, "Okay, I've arranged it for you. I've made an appointment with them to meet at my company. You can just come back with me later."

"So fast?"

"Not so fast. The agency I contacted has hundreds of thousands of registered companies, covering all walks of life. As long as the buyer makes a request, they can immediately screen them out. For example, the financial investment company you mentioned is a popular project, so there is no need to screen. As long as you put forward the conditions, they can help you get it done."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Yang."

Fu Songyang then smiled and waved his hand
For him, it was just a simple phone call.
An hour later, Gu Heng, led by Fu Songyang, arrived at the Cool Car Town in Chaoyang District.
As for Lu Yuan, Li Zi and others, they just went about doing what they were supposed to do.
After all, they are not Gu Heng, who has nothing to do all day long. Even the most relaxed Li Zi is now a student at Peking University and has his own things to do every day, not to mention Lu Yuan and Jiang Xin who have their own careers.
Only Jiang Wen came along.
After getting off the Bugatti Divo, Gu Heng glanced around and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Sports cars everywhere
Although I didn't see any Bugatti Divo-class sports cars, there were many entry-level supercars like Porsche 911 and Ferrari 458.
Parking his Porsche 918 behind Gu Heng's car, Jiang Wen looked at Gu Heng's expression, smiled, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "This is one of the largest car modification markets in the country. It's not surprising to see a lot of sports cars here."

After saying that, he looked at Gu Heng's Bugatti Divo and said, "Isn't your car modified as well?"

Gu Heng took a look at his car and nodded: "It was already modified when I bought it from Brother Lu. He said he spent 700 million. I don't know how much it was modified."

"What can you modify with 700 million? Just the appearance! If you really want to modify the power unit, 700 million is definitely not enough.

It should be modified to imitate the Vox Noire. It should be said that it really looks like the real thing. If you meet someone who doesn't understand it, it really can't tell the difference between the Vox Noire and this Divo.

But the Sound of Night is much cooler than this one.”

"The voice of the night?"

"Oh, this is the most expensive car under Bugatti, one is limited to one, and it was bought by former Volkswagen President Maldini. I don't know why an 80-year-old man bought it. What's the difference between this and an impotent man marrying a goddess? It's like occupying the toilet but not doing anything."

As he said this, he flipped out a picture from his phone and said, "This is the original car of the Sound of the Night."

Gu Heng's car was indeed much more handsome than his own. Although his Divo was not bad, an imitation was an imitation. There was a fundamental difference between a fake and a real one.
"How much does this one cost?"

"More than 2000 million, that was the price at the time. But if you really want to buy it, I guess you won't be able to get it without million US dollars."

Gu Heng was cautious after hearing this.
I must get this car if I have the chance.
While chatting, he and Fu Songyang walked into his company.

"Mr. Fu."

"Mr. Fu."

As soon as he entered the door, all the employees of Fu Songyang's company greeted him respectfully after seeing him.
Facing his employees, Fu Songyang was not so polite and just nodded at them indifferently.
When we got on the elevator to the second floor, a woman in a business suit was already standing at the elevator entrance. When she saw Fu Songyang, she first respectfully addressed him as Mr. Fu, and then continued, "Mr. Fu, Director Ma just sent a reply from the UK. Negotiations have begun for cooperation with McLaren. Currently, there are 13 companies competing with us for the agency rights. I have sorted out the information of the 13 companies for you and put it on your desk.

In addition, the person you asked me to contact has arrived 20 minutes ago and is now in the reception room. I have arranged for someone to receive him."

Fu Songyang was already accustomed to these things and just nodded lightly.

But Gu Heng was very curious.
If I'm not mistaken, this woman should be Fu Songyang's secretary.
What should be said or not said.
A professional secretary is a professional.
In just a few words, Gu Heng felt that she was much more capable than Xu Ying.
"Okay, go to the reception room and inform them first, and bring him to my office for an interview in 10 minutes."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Watching the secretary disappear from his sight with her plump buttocks swaying, Gu Heng couldn't help but say, "Brother Yang, you have completely changed my understanding of the position of a secretary."

Fu Songyang: "What do you mean?"

"I used to think secretaries were just flower vases, the kind that usually poured water and rubbed backs, doing things when there was work to do and not doing anything else."

Listening to Gu Heng's words, Fu Songyang also laughed, and without answering, he took him directly to his office. As soon as he entered the office, a woman who was at least 10 times more charming than before knocked on the door from the next office and walked in, calling out "Mr. Fu" in a delicate voice.
Fu Songyang didn't shy away from Gu Heng and Jiang Wen, and directly patted her roundness wrapped in a short skirt: "Help me make a pot of tea." The charming woman winked at Fu Songyang obscurely, and then twisted her butt to make tea.
Fu Songyang then turned around and looked at Gu Heng: "Is this the secretary you know?"

Gu Heng: “.”

Seeing Gu Heng speechless, Fu Songyang laughed: "Who stipulated that there can only be one secretary? I have four secretaries. One of them went on a business trip to the UK on behalf of me and the company's business department. Another one is on vacation today. You have seen the remaining two.

They each have their own responsibilities. Two professionals help me handle company affairs, and two help me pass the time.

Isn't it the same as having a secretary when there is work to do and a secretary when there is nothing to do?"

OK OK.
Learned again
When I get my company set up, I will also set up a secretarial team based on this model.
ten minutes later.

While the three were chatting, the secretary from the beginning came in with two people, one fat and one thin. Although the two people looked a little inconsistent, they were also dressed in suits.
"Mr. Fu, these two are the business managers of Paimeng Agency."

The two of them quickly greeted Fu Songyang who was sitting at the desk.
Fu Songyang pointed at Gu Heng with his chin and said, "Here, the one who asked you to do the job is here."

After saying that, he ignored them and said directly to Gu Heng: "Gu Heng, just sit on the sofa and talk to them. I can help you listen. These agents are more deceptive than each other."

Fu Songyang had no respect for the two salesmen from the agency, and he belittled them without any scruples.
The fat and thin men could only smile awkwardly and followed Gu Heng to the sofa.

"Mr. Gu, we received a notice that you want to register a financial investment company, right?"

Sitting on the sofa, after briefly flattering Gu Heng, the salesperson started asking questions directly.

"Correct."

"Then may I ask what are your requirements for company qualifications?"

"introduce."

Gu Heng is a complete newbie, so how would he know what the qualification requirements are?
"If you just need a financial investment company with qualifications in the domestic investment field, it's very simple. Our company's uniform price is 7 yuan, including the legal person. These legal persons are professional debtors hired by our company. Even if your company has any civil or criminal problems in the future, you don't need to worry. We will help you solve them."

Gu Heng listened to his introduction and wanted to use the registered company they provided to do pyramid selling.
"anything else?"

"There are also international financial investment companies with ODI qualifications, which charge a higher fee of 35 yuan."

It suddenly increased five times, and Gu Heng couldn't help but ask: "Why is the difference so big?"

Just as the thin man was about to answer, the fat man spoke up, “Because the cost is higher, if you want to have ODI qualifications, the company usually needs to be more than 3 years old, but the time cost is actually nothing. The main thing is that if you want to apply for ODI, you need to provide financial statements, shareholder background, source of funds, investment authenticity and a series of other issues, so it will be more troublesome.

Generally, such companies require long-term support, so the price will be much higher.

35 is not a high price. If it were sold outside, even a price of 60 would be normal.”

Gu Heng did not completely believe his words, but cast a questioning look at Fu Songyang who was not far away. Fu Songyang also nodded, meaning that what these people said was true.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng said directly: "Then help me set up a company with ODI qualifications."

Hearing Gu Heng's words, the corners of their mouths instantly rose.
Commission received
But the next second, the fat man spoke again: "Does Mr. Gu have any requirements for the place of registration? 35 for registration in China, 40 for registration in Hong Kong, and 120 million for registration in the Cayman Islands."

Gu Heng: “???”

Ok, ok.
There are value-added services, right?
"What's the difference?"

"Specifically, there is not much difference, but there will be obvious benefits in terms of taxation. The taxation in the Cayman Islands is generally recognized to be low. For example, large domestic companies, except Huawei, which is registered in Shenzhen, and large Internet companies like Tencent, all have cross-holdings by companies in the Cayman Islands to achieve reasonable tax avoidance."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng immediately lost interest and said directly: "Just help me arrange a domestic registration."

Compared with tax evasion, Gu Heng is not interested in it.

I created my own company not for the purpose of making money, but just to make it more convenient for me to do things in the future and to improve my social status at the same time.

The rewards given by the system are enough for you to spend, why bother with these fancy things?

Not to mention whether the company he founded can make money, even if he is lucky in the future and really makes money, Gu Heng will feel at ease paying the tax.

Isn't it only natural that we should live on this land, be protected by this land, and pay taxes to the government?

Watching the commission go away from them, the two could only look at each other, and then continued: "Since Mr. Gu has no requirements for the place of registration, it will be easy to handle. The company's shares can be changed this afternoon.

You don't need to show up for this matter, we can help you with it. You just need to tell us the company name you have prepared.

However, our previous registered capital was 10 yuan. Mr. Gu, you still need to increase the registered capital. This registered capital is based on your standards for the company. The minimum is 10 yuan, with no upper limit.

However, I need to remind you that in order to better obtain ODI qualifications, our registered capital was paid in full. Once you increase your registered capital, you need to submit a review and filing with the financial office within 3 months. "

Gu Heng nodded.

I am seriously planning to start a company. There is not much difference between paid-in capital and subscribed capital for me. On the contrary, paid-in capital will be more convenient.

Seeing Gu Heng nod, the thin man quickly took out a pen and paper and said, "Mr. Gu, tell me the company name you want to change and the registered capital you want to increase. Our people are already waiting at the Industry and Commerce Bureau. It will be completed in 20 minutes at most. You only need to sign a company transfer contract later."

"Company name"

"Let's call it INDULAE Capital Management Co., Ltd., or IDE Capital for short."

Gu Heng thought hard for several days before coming up with this company name. Although it seems a bit like copying IDG Capital, at least it is more stylish.
"Mr. Gu, this company has a great reputation! How much is the registered capital you plan to change?"

"About 3 million RMB."

"Ok."

As the thin man was writing, something started to go wrong. When he wrote the third zero, he looked up at Gu Heng with his eyes wide open: "0 million?!"

Not to mention them, even Fu Songyang and Jiang Wen who were sitting in front of the desk looked over at once.

"Mr. Gu, how about I repeat what I just said to you? The registered capital of this increase must be paid off within three months."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Heng interrupted him and said, "I know that a financial audit is required within three months. Just change it as I say."

"If the payment is not made within the deadline, we will not be responsible for any problems that occur in the company."

"I know, just do as I say."

Having said that, the two of them didn't say much and directly asked their colleagues who were waiting at the Industry and Commerce Bureau to change the company's status.
