Catering God

Chapter 128: Not the Air Force, Just Don’t Like Killing

Originally, they just wanted to go out and play for a few people in the afternoon, but Jiang Feng asked around and found out that everyone wanted to get out and move around because they had been stuck indoors for too long in the winter.

So the fishing activity in dormitory 314 turned into a large-scale team-building activity.

There were not only a few boys in Jiang Feng's dormitory, but also all the girls in Chen Jingyu's dormitory.

In addition, Jiang Feng also called Tang Wenjun, Lu Cheng, and Zhou Xiaoming to have a relaxing team-building party at the end of the year.

Who knew that when Chen Tiankuo found out about this, he ran away happily with his fishing rod and bucket, saying that he was the number one fishing king in Jiangnan and he had to show off his skills to Jiang Feng.

So four cars, with twelve people on board, headed to the big fishing spot in a grand manner.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived at a fishing ground called "Fish Washing Center Fishing Park" in the countryside of Qingjiang District.

Although it is right next to the Qingjiang River and you can go fishing in the wild, but considering that most of the people in the group are novice anglers and fishing in the wild is extremely boring, it is better to come to this artificial fishing ground.

Jiang Feng paid the money.

It costs 70 yuan per person, and not only fishing rods are provided, but also boxed lunches, snacks and drinks, which is not too expensive.

Chen Tiankuo and Wang Tang ran around with their equipment, saying they wanted to observe the water inlet and find a perfect fishing spot.

A few girls gathered together and flirted with each other, and it took them a long time to even put together a fishing rod. It was obvious that they were more like a group to create atmosphere.

"Stay away from the pool, or you might fall in."

Jiang Feng was organizing his fishing tools. When he saw Chen Jingyu approaching the pool, he immediately drove her away.

"I'm not a kid."

"hehe."

The scene of this stupid fish sitting in the stream last time is still vivid in Jiang Feng's mind. He doesn't want to go into the water to rescue it later.

Jiang Feng first helped Chen Jingyu tie the fishing line and hang the hook, then handed her the fishing rod: "Don't worry, I'll teach you how to cast the rod later."

"It's okay, Jingyu, just look at me."

Chen Tiankuo, who was wearing winter outdoor equipment, said this and performed a perfect cast in a cool manner.

Looking at his outfit, if you don’t know him, you might think he is a warrior in Armor. Fishing is like going to war.

Chen Jingyu seemed to understand, and then cast the fishing rod like a tiger copying him... Maybe it was muscle weakness or something, but the fish hook fell on the edge of the pool and slowly sank into the water.

Jiang Feng and Chen Tiankuo couldn't help laughing.

"It's so close... there's no way you'll catch any fish like this."

"Jiang Feng, stop fiddling with your fishing rod and teach her quickly, or she'll fish all afternoon with nothing."

Chen Jingyu blinked her beautiful eyes, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her.

Just as the two of them were laughing at her, suddenly...

There was a movement from the fishing rod in Chen Jingyu's hand, and she instinctively pulled the rod, but Jiang Feng had not yet taught her how to reel in the fishing line.

"Well!"

The fishing line made the reel spin non-stop and the fish rushed out with a whoosh.

The smiles on Jiang Feng and Chen Tiankuo's faces suddenly stopped.

"You're hooked on this?"

Jiang Feng's tone was almost surprised, and he hurried forward to help Chen Jingyu reel in the line.

"Turn the joystick counterclockwise, not clockwise."

Chen Jingyu didn't know any techniques, so he just kept turning the rod, but his movements were very strenuous, as if he had caught a giant fish.

"Is it that difficult? Use a little more strength..." Jiang Feng teased. The moment he helped Chen Jingyu hold the fishing rod, his face suddenly changed.

"Damn, it's really a big fish."

After a while, with the combined efforts of the two people, a fat carp was pulled out of the water.

Tang Wenjun, who was passing by, saw that a fish was caught, and quickly used a net to scoop the fish up.

"Wow, Jingyu caught a fish so quickly."

"It's so big, what kind of fish is this?"

The women behind dropped what they were holding, hurried over, and surrounded Chen Jingyu to praise her.

Looking at the big carp jumping around in the bucket, Jiang Feng and Chen Tiankuo's eyes twitched suddenly.

"This carp probably weighs ten kilograms..."

"I guess it's..."

The point is... you can actually fish this out.

I guess the fish is also very depressed. It lies on the edge of the pool to avoid the wind. Who knows if there really is someone who puts a fish hook here.

"Huh..." Chen Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief and said with some pride, "Fishing isn't that difficult after all."

Jiang Feng: “…”

Chen Tiankuo: “…”

Tang Wenjun behind him also shook his head, "It's unscientific. I suspect this is a novice gift pack."

Chen Jingyu caught a ten-pound carp with her first cast. The news spread quickly and a group of boys around her became nervous and quickly put down their rods to avoid embarrassment.

More than an hour later...

Tang Wenjun was sitting next to Jiang Feng. He heard another cheer coming from the girls and knew that Chen Jingyu had caught another fish.

I don’t know how many fish are in the fish cage hanging in the pond.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Feng beside him, and asked curiously: "Old Jiang, what kind of fishing rod did you buy for Chen Jingyu? It's so powerful?"

"We have the same fishing rod, didn't you notice?"

"Uh..." Tang Wenjun looked at Jiang Feng's empty fish cage, "I really didn't see it."

Jiang Feng sighed.

Chen Tiankuo, who had been sitting here just now, had disappeared long ago. He said that the feng shui here was bad and he wanted to move to a better location.

In fact, I was just stimulated by Chen Jingyu. They kept catching fish over there, but there was no movement on this side. It was really infuriating.

"Oh, it's boring. Fishing is a sport that doesn't require any technical skills..."

Jiang Feng's words had just fallen.

There was a movement from the fishing rod in my hand.

"Oh my god, it's coming, it's coming! Watch me become a god with one stroke!"

With a beautiful action of pulling in the rod, a small crucian carp was pulled up.

Looking at the small crucian carp on the hook, which was not even as long as a finger, Jiang Feng was immediately upset.

"It's true that one line made him a legend..." Tang Wenjun couldn't help laughing and said, "The poop of Chen Jingyu's carp is bigger than your fish."

Jiang Feng took the crucian carp off the carp, stared at it with dismay and said, "You are so small, yet you are biting the hook made of chicken feathers. Hurry home and call your parents over. Uncle has delicious food here, and you can eat as much as you want."

talking.

I threw the little crucian carp directly back into the pond.

He felt embarrassed to stay...

After a few steps, he saw that Jiang Feng was quiet, so he came over to give him some pointers and chat a bit. "Boss Jiang, you said that Liao Meifang must have been scared by us. We asked her to cancel the delivery service, and she did it obediently."

In just these few days, Liao Meifang has chosen to compromise. She first went to apologize to Uncle Qi, and then withdrew all delivery services.

The low-price promotion that Xinlinju had maintained for a while was finally cancelled, and the two supermarkets restored their original prices and resumed normal business.

When talking about this, Jiang Feng's face was full of disdain: "If she gives in, she can still make money. If she insists on fighting us to the end, she won't make a penny."

"Yes, there's a huge difference between making money and losing money. In business, you have to play the long game to catch the big fish..."

Lu Cheng paused, unable to conceal the joy on his face: "Just like that seven-jin grass carp I just caught..."

Jiang Feng was speechless. He said that it sounded wrong. Lu Cheng didn't seem like a person who liked to talk nonsense. After listening to him, he finally understood that this kid just came here to show off.

"Go, go, go back and go fishing."

"Hey, it's so cold, fishing is freezing my hands, so I just came over to chat."

Lu Cheng chuckled.

Jiang Feng suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how much money is there in the accounts of the two companies now?"

Previously, under his operation, in addition to the original Fengwei Catering, a new Hanchuan Xinlinju Chain Supermarket Co., Ltd. was registered, mainly to facilitate the subsequent management and development of Xinlinju.

"I just filed my taxes at the beginning of the month, and now there's only a little over 1.8 million left in the company's account."

Lu Cheng was talking when he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, Mr. Jiang, Xiao Ming told me a while ago that a lot of customers from out of province have been coming in lately, but they haven't been able to successfully join us because they're outside our delivery range... Can we consider setting up a central kitchen somewhere else? Plus, the market around Handu is basically full, so we should consider expanding our franchise scope."

What he was talking about was naturally the franchise of Guoba Potato.

Because only a central kitchen has been established in Handu, the supply range is centered on Handu and radiates to surrounding cities.

It mainly supplies cities in the north and east of Hanchuan, and basically abandons the southwestern market. Even Panhua City in the province has to be abandoned due to distance issues.

At present, the central kitchen in Handu can only barely meet the needs of cities around Handu, and it will not work if the distance is too far.

Jiang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Well, we can consider establishing a small central kitchen in Da City and Lu City, specifically for the Guoba Potato franchisees... There's no need to leave the province yet. Let's settle down first and take over the entire eastern Hanchuan market first."

It’s not a question of whether there is enough money.

Thanks to Zhou Xiaoming's unremitting efforts, the number of Guoba Potato franchise stores has expanded to 320, and the company can earn nearly one million yuan a month just from collecting supply fees.

Not to mention the income from directly-operated stores and supermarkets.

It's easy to earn more than one million every month.

The main reason is that the current number and scale of franchise stores do not meet the needs of moving out of the province. With just over 300 stores, it seems a bit too hasty to think about moving out of the province.

"OK, no problem."

Lu Cheng nodded.

He had no objection to any decision made by Jiang Feng and just followed his instructions.

Jiang Feng added, "I brought several million to start my business, and at the end of the year I had over a million left, which is barely enough."

Lu Cheng and Tang Wenjun both knew it was a joke.

Because with the company's current profitability, it can earn more than one million every month, and it is even continuing to grow.

Talking about the company's bank account, Lu Cheng suddenly remembered something else and looked at Jiang Feng with some curiosity: "Boss Jiang, when you bought a car before, why didn't you put it in the company's name?"

Jiang Feng glanced at him and of course knew what he meant, so he shook his head and said:
"There's no need for that. This is no different from tax evasion."

Lu Cheng said, "Isn't this a legitimate way to avoid taxes? I see a lot of bosses do this, and there aren't any problems."

“What is reasonable tax avoidance?”

Jiang Feng shook his head and then explained: "This behavior is essentially tax evasion, but it is inconvenient for the relevant departments to investigate."

When Jiang Feng bought a car, he had to withdraw money from the company to his own account and pay taxes. If he bought the car in the name of the company, he could save a lot of money.

Many bosses do this and nothing happens, so people think this method is a reasonable way to avoid taxes, but in fact it is illegal.

Then why didn't anything happen?
The reason is very simple. If you insist on saying that you bought a Mercedes-Benz for the company as a company car, the relevant departments will have limitations in how they handle it.

But not dealing with you doesn’t mean you are legal.

"Don't have that mentality. Pay the taxes you owe. There's no need to save a few bucks."

Jiang Feng's tone was very calm when he spoke.

Tang Wenjun and Lu Cheng were a little shocked when they heard this.

How much is that? If it really is a few dollars, then there's no need...

In fact, Jiang Feng has been doing business for so many years, and he knows all the ins and outs of it very well.

There are ten thousand ways to circumvent the censorship, but no one does so.

An enterprise or businessman can reasonably use policies to reduce or exempt taxes, but cannot evade taxes.

This kind of thing that walks on the edge of the law will lead to a mentality of taking chances. If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. The best way to avoid it is to not touch it in the first place.

Besides, a company that only knows how to evade taxes will not be able to grow big, and even if it does, it is likely to get into trouble.

Jiang Feng’s goal is ambitious enough. Instead of getting involved in intrigues over these tax issues, it is better to be honest.

So from the very beginning, he has always emphasized that there should be no trickery when it comes to tax issues, and there should also be no trickery when it comes to fire prevention and hygiene issues in factories and stores. Everything must be done strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations.

Do everything well, and don't worry about being envied by your peers or being investigated in the future, after all, you are clean.

"I understand." Lu Cheng said.

Jiang Feng raised his rod and found it was empty again. He couldn't help but complain, "Is this position really not good?"

At the same time, he was also thinking in his mind.

The company will have to hire an accountant next year. After all, as the business grows, he won’t be able to keep an eye on the account books every day.

But it would be unrealistic to leave everything to Lu Cheng. After all, his accounting ability is very limited. If something goes wrong, it would be troublesome.

Tang Wenjun and Lu Cheng had just left.

Chen Jingyu ran over happily and circled around Jiang Feng.

"Aren't you going to continue fishing?" Jiang Feng said.

"I'm so tired. I asked Yuanyuan to help me catch the rod."

Chen Jingyu looked at the fish cage next to Jiang Feng and asked curiously, "Jiang Feng, how many fish did you catch?"

"Several."

"Where's the fish?"

"I felt so sorry for them, so I released them all. You know, little fish have parents too. If they ran away from home, their families would be so sad."

"Jiang Feng."

"Ah."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Jiang Feng's eyes twitched.

Why can even Chen Jingyu come and laugh at him?
I spent the whole afternoon fishing here. Happy times always pass quickly, as if they were gone in the blink of an eye. However, some people may feel it is tormenting.

We are both fishermen...
