As for the specific details of company registration, Liu Jian stopped being involved. He and Ma Liming continued to focus on the printing factory. The blueprint had already been outlined for his father, and how to execute it was no longer Liu Jian's concern. Liu Jian primarily concentrated his efforts on the printing factory, and how to expand its business became the most frequently discussed topic between him and Ma Liming during this period.
The printing of the Sanbao Winery's trademark and packaging had been transferred to the printing factory. After all, they couldn't leave their own factory idle and let others profit from it.
After pondering for a while, Liu Jian added a task for the printing factory: printing brochures for Sanbao Winery. During this time, Sanbao Winery's salespeople were going out to solicit business with just business cards and the wine's packaging, which seemed inappropriate. Considering that there wasn't a dedicated brochure available, Liu Jian designed one to increase the promotional efforts of Sanbao Winery.
Liu Jian's idea was that Sanbao Winery should advertise within Panshi territory, relying on the fame of the advertisements. However, expanding beyond Panshi would test the sales department. Printing some brochures for them would make the salespeople appear more formal when they go out, at least looking like official salespeople.
Another idea is to promote the printing factory, setting an example for other factories. No one has done this before, but with Sanbao Winery taking the lead, it will definitely have a bandwagon effect.
After listening to Liu Jian's ideas, Ma Liming was particularly happy and suggested printing a batch of brochures for the printing factory as well, listing all the services the printing factory can provide. This would also have a good effect when discussing business outside.
Adding the student cards, reference books, and exam papers newly submitted by the Education Bureau, as well as the outpatient cards, medical cards, registration cards, medical records, etc. that the hospital needs to print, the printing factory's work for the next two months has been scheduled. Of course, all of this is without overtime. The printing factory hasn't reached the point of "people rest, machines don't," working in three shifts. In a sense, it hasn't returned to its most prosperous stage. However, this has already made the workers in the printing factory feel extremely happy. It's been many years since they've had work to do every day for several months in a row. Many people regret not letting Liu Fu acquire the factory earlier, otherwise, how could they have endured such hard times for so long? The workers in the printing factory have also become loyal supporters of Liu Fu.
However, their big boss, Liu Fu, hasn't been having a good time these past few days. He's been running to Changchun, the provincial capital, for several days in a row. Although Panshi is a prefecture-level city, there are too few talented people, and it's a world apart from the provincial capital. Liu Fu met several talented people in the province through friends' introductions, but too few were willing to come to Panshi. These people all have formal jobs, and they're in the provincial capital city. Why would they be willing to go to a lower-level prefecture-level city, especially to a new company that's just being established? Talented people in this era are far from the situation where "if you drop a brick, you can hit ten people, seven undergraduates, two graduates, and one PhD student."
After running around for several days, Liu Fu got angry. He told his son about it when he got home, and Liu Jian smiled and came up with an idea: "Dad, offer a higher salary, five thousand a month. I don't believe we can't find anyone. After this difficult period is over, find an excuse to fire them, and then slowly look for someone else. We'll always find someone."
Liu Fu thought so too, and went to Changchun again. This time, recruiting people was easy. Once the high salary was posted, a lot of people came to apply. Liu Fu found a designer and a certified public accountant. The designer was from the provincial architectural design institute. He had been assigned there for a few years, drawing a fixed salary, and had no opportunity to design independently. This time, he came for the salary, and also for the opportunity to realize his dream. However, he was a short-term worker. After designing the blueprints for the building, he would go back to work. He had also taken leave from his company. He wouldn't be fired, and he was just someone who got paid for his work and left.
The certified public accountant was a man around forty years old, named Wang Tian. Considering his identity as a certified public accountant, a salary of five thousand was not high. Liu Fu initially intended to find an experienced accountant, but he didn't expect a certified public accountant to apply. After looking at his resume, Liu Fu understood why he was willing to come to Panshi.
It turned out that this Wang Tian used to be the financial manager of a company in the province. He was the one who handled all the accounts of this company. When something happened to the company, it was found to have evaded taxes. Although it had nothing to do with him, and his license was not revoked, his name was tarnished in the industry. No company in the province was willing to hire him, and he hadn't found a job for over a year.
Liu Fu specifically called Liu Jian about this matter. Liu Jian said, "This is the person we're looking for. He has no reputation now and won't care about anything else. As long as you give him money, you can keep him. Tell him that if he's willing to come, he can move his whole family here. Give him a three-bedroom apartment after the building is finished. As long as he does the accounts well and makes them clear, he won't be treated unfairly. Dad, just talk to him directly, don't hide anything. This kind of person only cares about benefits, nothing else matters to him."
Liu Fu told Wang Tian everything he was planning to do privately, and he didn't hide what he needed Wang Tian to do. If something happened, Wang Tian would have to deal with it himself, but he wouldn't be shortchanged on his compensation. Even if something really happened, he would still be paid. Wang Tian agreed immediately without hesitation. For Wang Tian, he had seen too much gossip in the past year and realized that nothing was more important than money, everything else was fake. He had a son in high school, and without a stable job, he was afraid he wouldn't even have money for his son's schooling. Although doing this violated his professional ethics, so what? As long as he was given money, he would even have the courage to kill someone now.
Soon after returning to Panshi, Liu Fu discovered Wang Tian's usefulness. Issues such as the transfer of funds in and out of the two factories, the formulation of shares, and the primary and secondary relationships between the factories were all only discovered by everyone after Wang Tian's reminders.
Following Wang Tian's advice, Liu Fu reorganized a company called Liu's Industrial Co., Ltd. Liu Fu and Zhang Huan each hold 30% of the company's shares, while Liu Jian holds 40%. The Sanbao Winery and the printing factory are both subsidiaries of Liu's, with debts and funds separated. From now on, the funds of the Sanbao Winery can only be used for the Sanbao Winery, and the same is true for the printing factory. However, the parent company can inject capital into the two factories. They also established Panlong Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., and the two companies became cross-holding companies. Then, Liu's Industrial Co., Ltd. transferred the idle land of the Sanbao Winery and the printing factory to Panlong Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. at a lower price. Although it's a different trick, the relationship between the three companies has been clearly defined. This kind of cross-holding also lays the groundwork for the company's future listing. In reality, Liu's Industrial Co., Ltd. is now just an empty shell, while the two subordinate factories are very rich. However, through land transfers, Liu's also has some money, but it's actually just moving money from one pocket to another, there's no real difference. But after this tinkering, it will be difficult for others to check Liu's company's accounts, and the goal of paying less tax has been fully achieved.
Liu Fu and Liu Jian couldn't understand all the intricacies, but they knew that Wang Tian was a true talent, and the purpose of hiring him at a high salary had been achieved. Now they are just waiting for the design drawings to come out and start selling apartments.
The Sanbao Winery has always been a hot topic. The wine sells better and better, and the cars going in and out every day have become a scenic sight. The newly recruited workers have become the envy of people. A few days ago, Liu's Industrial Co., Ltd. was established amid another wave of heated discussions about the Sanbao Winery and the printing factory. Everyone knows that this means that these two units have become Liu Fu's private property. It's not that no one is jealous, but who told him to have money? Most people are still thinking about whether they can also work at Liu's company.
Now everyone knows that the Liu family's wages are high, the benefits are good, and the environment is even better, but the Liu family is too strict when hiring, and many people with connections can't get in. It's not that no one wants to cause trouble, but the Liu family has too many connections, many of whom are heads of various government departments or leaders with real power. This was also Liu Jian's suggestion. Although we don't hire people, we still need to take care of these relationships. These bigwigs have all received a lot of benefits, and the newly produced Panshi Laojiao has become the best gift.
Panshi Laojiao hasn't even been launched on the market yet, and it has already earned a good reputation among Panshi's upper class. The never-before-seen bottle packaging and the ridiculously high price have made Panshi Laojiao the most sought-after liquor in Panshi right now, even surpassing the well-known Moutai and Wuliangye in Panshi. The rumors that Boss Liu is good at interpersonal relationships have been confirmed and have created a good reputation. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the newly established company, Liu Fu got to know all the leading officials of various units in Panshi, smoothly completed everything, and didn't miss any of the proper etiquette. Now Liu Fu also understands that what he's giving away are small sums of money, and the big money is coming soon.
After the establishment of Panlong Real Estate Co., Ltd., the side wall of Sanbao Winery was quickly demolished, and a new gate was built. A prefabricated house made of colored steel was quickly erected in the open space in the courtyard to serve as an office. It looks simple, but the people inside are busy. The company's plaque was quickly hung at the gate, and Liu Fu's office was also moved here.
In recent days, through detailed understanding, Wang Tian has gained the trust of the Liu father and son. He is particularly diligent. After coming to Panshi, Wang Tian has witnessed the power of the Liu father and son. No matter which department he goes to, there are no obstacles. Many units even have the top leader accompanying them, and the subordinates get things done. This also makes him believe that this is a good opportunity. As long as he does well, he will have both fame and fortune, which makes Wang Tian even more serious and responsible in his work.
Wang Tian knows that the Liu father and son's real estate company is just an empty shell, and they are now playing with fire, or engaging in illegal fundraising. However, how many law-abiding businessmen can make money these days? On the contrary, he admires the Liu father and son's approach. Only in this way can the business be expanded. He also understands the Liu father and son's methods very thoroughly. In the past few days, he and the accountant re-checked the accounts of the three companies, and he knows even more that the Liu father and son are playing capital operations, using small capital to swallow large businesses. But this is even better. How could a law-abiding company afford to hire a high-paid certified public accountant? And now all companies are playing this way, as long as they are not discovered.
