Top of the big era

Senior sister Zhen Yu is here.

Mai Feixue felt numb.

After seeing the intimate behavior between the big boss and Mr. Zhen, I had an expectation that this would be the case.

Boss Zhou, who is as aloof as a god, turns out to be such an ordinary person, far from reaching the realm of "eliminating human desires and seeking justice from heaven".

However, thinking about the relationship between her boss and herself, she calmed down.

Senior Sister Zhen Yu came to the UK this time mainly to participate in the equity reform of Ziweixing Digital Media.

The plan has been finalized and will be launched next year.

Before going public, all procedural matters must be prepared. One of the most important items is the equity reform, which requires confirmation of ownership and ensuring everyone's equity at the legal level.

Before the equity reform, it was actually a gray area. Many companies at home and abroad had experienced the behavior of depriving shareholders of their equity.

For example, if Ziweixing is not listed now, if an employee performs poorly, his or her shares can be forcibly deprived of them without spending a penny and can be confiscated directly.

Because the current Ziweixing has not yet carried out the final equity reform, except for some shareholders with relatively large shares who have reported, thousands of small shareholders have not officially registered or reported. They are all internal to Ziweixing. records, there is no legal protection.

Only if the company has made an official filing, will it be a real shareholder and have legal protection. No matter how big of a mistake an employee makes, Ziweixing cannot easily deprive employees of their shares, or even force them to repurchase them.

Therefore, many listed companies are very black-hearted and will perform a wave of disgusting operations before going public.

If it's better, you can pay a little money and repurchase it on a semi-compulsory basis; if it's worse, you can just lose face and refuse to recognize the stocks promised to employees in the past, and all of them will be confiscated.

Those employees who thought they could grow with the company and achieve financial freedom when the company went public were dumbfounded and were deceived by the capitalists.

There are also some companies that will create virtual restricted shares in the company.

That is, the company is not listed, but employees can subscribe for virtual shares of the company. After the company makes money, it will distribute dividends to employees according to their share of the shares.

Many people didn't know what was going on, so they really rushed in and spent a lot of money to buy a lot of insider stocks. By buying insider shares, all the wages paid to them by the company are returned to the company.

This kind of virtual stock applies the company's internal rules rather than the law. In other words, if the company is well run, it will keep its promises. Once the operation is poor, the company's rules can be changed directly, and the so-called virtual stocks can be directly invalidated, and all the employees' early investment will be wasted.

Finance is the easiest tool to make money, and it is also the easiest to cut leeks through financial means.

There are many similar tricks. In recent years, the most famous company in the world for playing dirty tricks on stocks is of course Facebook. Zuckerberg looks elegant and easy-going, but in fact he is ruthless.

Zhou Buqi will definitely not put his reputation into it just to make a small amount of money. Ziweixing Digital Media must complete the equity reform in a legal and compliant manner and keep its promises to prepare for its listing next year.

Because it is listed on the London Stock Exchange, three local British financial institutions will be introduced during this round of equity transformation. Let them invest in it, and then rely on their relationships to smooth out all the listing processes.

The laws of each country are different, but the general framework is similar. Senior Sister Zhen Yu can be considered an industry expert.

We got off the plane, got in the car, and went home together.

Senior Sister Zhen Yu flew here from New York this time and was very tired, so she took her home to rest.

After getting on the car, Zhen Yu naturally snuggled into Zhou Buqi's arms. She blinked and looked at the strange little girl next to Boss Zhou, "What is this?"

Mai Feixue quickly introduced herself and said sweetly: "Hello, Mr. Zhen, I am Mai Feixue, our boss's new secretary. I am a fresh graduate this year. You can call me Maizi, and you can give me any orders." Just do it.”

Zhen Yu smiled slightly, "If you can go on a business trip with your boss, you must be very good enough."

Mai Feixue felt a little ashamed and said hesitantly: "It's all...all due to the boss's appreciation. I...I will work hard."

Zhen Yu understood it at a glance. After all, Sun Wanran and Ning Lu came here this way. "Are you a virgin? You are so beautiful. If you can still keep your virginity after graduating from college, you are good enough."

"ah?"

Mai Feixue was stunned. Is there such a theory? I feel like all the women around my boss are bad.

Zhen Yu blinked, "Am I right?"

Mai Feixue bit her red lips, glanced quickly at the big boss beside her, and whispered: "It used to be the day before yesterday...it has been no longer since the night before yesterday. Boss, help me...help me..."

Zhen Yu almost laughed, she felt that this girl was quite cute.

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, with a hint of warning, "Okay, if you get the benefits, just know it in your heart, and don't spread it everywhere. Only by being silent can you make a fortune, and showing off your glory everywhere will only attract jealousy."

Mai Feixue just sat down obediently, "Oh, I understand."

Zhou Buqi taught her a lesson, turned to Senior Sister Zhen Yu, and greeted her with a smile, "Do you have any good ideas for what I told you?"

"Manchester United?"

"right."

"Let's talk about it when we get back. I'm a little tired."

Zhen Yu didn't want to say it in the car. It seemed to be more subtle. She probably wasn't guarding Ning Lu. She was either guarding against the British driver driving the car or Mai Feixue.

After returning home, Zhou Buqi accompanied Senior Sister Zhen Yu to take a mandarin duck bath, then asked her to lie on the bed and pressed her shoulders and back to relieve her fatigue.

The level of massage is not very good, the key is to have a good attitude towards treating women.

Zhen Yu lay on the bed, half-closed her eyes, and said softly: "Manchester United just made 170 million pounds. With such a small amount of money, is it worth worrying about?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Then we can't all pay taxes, right?"

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and said, "This is a football club. It's a tax benefit. It's just 20 points of income tax."

"That's different. Among the 20 clubs in the Premier League, which one pays income tax? Every one of them loses money. They don't pay taxes, and there is no need for Manchester United to be the leader."

Zhou Buqi didn't know how to massage and didn't dare to use force. He mostly stroked her back.

Zhen Yu said softly: "Then transfer the profits?"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was very cautious, "Isn't it bad? Wouldn't it be found out after an audit? There is no need to engage in gray operations. Manchester United is not the kind of listed company with tens of millions of shareholders."

Generally speaking, large companies will have some gray operations in their finances. This is especially true for large technology companies in Silicon Valley. They have made so much money around the world and have kept their profits in tax havens through financial operations.

But because such a large company has too many shareholders and no individual responsible person, there is no accurate target to blame.

Manchester United is different.

Everyone knows that this is Zhou Buqi's personal club. Once Manchester United is exposed to have similar gray operations, public opinion will point directly at him.

Listed companies and unlisted companies generally find ways to maintain accounts to maximize profits.

However, there is an essential difference here.

For listed companies, they must find ways to increase profits. The higher the profits, the higher the stock price. Many companies even do not hesitate to make false accounts to inflate profits.

For unlisted companies, profits are often kept low. The lower the profits, the less income tax they pay. Many companies even do not hesitate to make false accounts to hide profits.

Manchester United is not listed yet.

Zhen Yu said softly: "If you don't transfer profits and still want to avoid paying profit income tax, there is only one way to reduce profits. Either cover up profits or increase expenses to balance the balance of payments."

"Yes, increase spending."

"Buy back the stock! Don't we only own 95% of Manchester United's shares? The remaining 5% is in Zhu Jun's hands. The club will come forward to buy back these 5% of the stock."

"Well, it's a direction. I'll ask Lao Zhu what he means later."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

After Ninetowns lost "World of Warcraft", Zhu Jun's life was not easy. It has been a long time since he went out to watch a game at Manchester United's home court.

This 5% stake in Manchester United may be able to help him tide over a difficult situation.

Once this matter is done, Manchester United will be 100% owned by the Zhou family, and it will be able to carry out various planning and operations more freely.

Zhen Yu continued: "You can also invest in real estate and buy a house for our family."

"Huh? Buying a house again?"

"Buy it in the name of Manchester United. Such expenses can be included in the cost, which can wipe out Manchester United's book profits. Don't you think this house is too small? If too many people come, it won't be able to live in it. Woolen cloth."
