Chapter 99 How to Spend Millions of Dollars

The negotiation with Essilor took more than half a month.

However, considering that the combined scale of the two projects exceeds 1000 million US dollars, this time is not too long.

After the money is settled, Gu Zhe will inevitably have a lot of work to do: he has to arrange for his subordinates to make a budget for the expected use of the money, make overall arrangements for taxation, and take the opportunity to apply for a national high-tech enterprise this year .

Gu Zhe had already obtained the provincial high-tech enterprise qualification before, and just a few months ago—that is, in March, when he was supporting Lu Jinming's Mingyuan International on the melt blown line and other technical projects, he received Relevant leaders of the province inspected and received.

During Deputy Secretary Zhang's inspection, he helped Deputy Director Li of the Department of Science and Technology out of the siege.Later, when he handed in Tianyuan Technology's provincial high-tech enterprise submission materials for review, the process went very fast, after all, he had already registered in the province.

But people have always been looking forward to Sichuan. After obtaining the high-tech qualifications in the province, they will always work hard at the national level.

After all, Gu Zhe did not use a foreign capital shell to register the company, and the tax burden of domestic enterprises is still quite heavy.It can be made into a high-tech enterprise, and every time the level of high-tech is upgraded, there will be huge benefits of tax reduction and exemption.

This is also an important reason why companies such as Huawei in later generations can appear as pure private capital without relying on foreign capital backgrounds, but still enjoy the benefits of low taxes.

After all, Huawei’s annual scientific research investment is extremely high, and the scientific research expenditure can also be doubled and deducted from the profit tax reduction.

What Gu Zhe is pursuing now is also such a layout.Especially when he is still in the early stage of starting a business, the deduction and deduction ratio of high-tech enterprises in the first few years is particularly high.

This year, he received 800 million yuan in licensing fees from Haichang alone, and two sums from Essilor totaling 1250 million US dollars.

Adding in the self-operated profit of Tianyuan Optics and some other technical cooperation income that can be attributed to Tianyuan Technology, Gu Zhe estimates that the total revenue of the company under his name this year will definitely exceed 1600 million US dollars.

This is not counting the profits from the cooperation with Lu Jinming in the chemical fiber melt-blown cloth industry, those are not the ones that Gu Zhe has to worry about paying taxes.

Gu Zhe estimates that after winning the national high-tech enterprise, he only needs to withdraw about 1600 million from the 200 million this year to purchase scientific research and experimental hardware equipment, build laboratories, purchase engineering prototypes, and make another 200 million US dollars for other scientific research. The soft expenses collected can basically be tax-free——

Of course, this trick cannot be imitated by others, because the state also has requirements for the output ratio of scientific research expenditures of high-tech enterprises.

If the number of newly added invention and utility model patents is not enough, or at least the number of patents being applied for is not enough, and the amount of foreign exchange earned from technology licensing is not enough...

All of them may be strictly investigated by the taxation department to see if there is fraud in scientific research investment.

Only Gu Zhe can definitely stand the investigation. His company's main revenue comes from technology licensing fees paid by foreigners.

To put it bluntly, no one dared to question Gu Zhe's "efficiency in the use of scientific research funds and the ratio of input to output."

Gu Zhe handed over the work in this area to Lu Youyou, Ye Xiaomin, his confidant in charge of finance, and a few outsourced legal agents.He is only responsible for raising needs and pointing out directions, and has no time to worry about specific operations.

Ye Xiaomin and the others are also diligent, advancing the relevant procedures step by step, and it will take a month or two to complete.During this period, he had to visit both the Science and Technology Department and the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and many yamen were involved.

The relevant departments in the province do not have the right to make a decision. They can only check the materials and then report them to the relevant national departments for a final decision.

Generally speaking, there is still a quota limit for the newly added national high-tech enterprises reported by each province every year.Based on the market situation in 03, Donghai Province only reported to the country more than 20 companies every year, and only seven or eight companies could be evaluated.

If you rely on relationships to find an agency with all-hands-on-the-eyes, you will have to start with an agency fee of one million yuan—if you are not sure about the curative effect and entrust a risk agency, it will start at three to four million yuan.That is to say, "No money will be paid if you can't do it, and you will only pay if you are rated as a national high-tech."

Gu Zhe didn't pay extra agency fees, but only found a cheap errand agency with basic fees. He believed in his own strength.

The first time Ye Xiaomin went to the province's industry and commerce and science and technology departments to deliver materials, he was questioned by the staff of the preliminary review.

"Miss, there is something wrong with your company's materials. The number of newly added inventions and patents this year is obviously not up to standard. The materials you fill in here, the technologies involved, only have application numbers but no authorization numbers.

Since we have not even obtained the final authorization, how can we judge the high-tech scientific research content of your company based on these technologies that are not sure whether they can be authorized? "

The rhetoric of the staff of the preliminary examination is actually business-like, not to make things difficult.She is also knowledgeable and often reads the news. She knows that this "Tianyuan Technology" is Gu Zhe's company. It has been making a splash in the media recently, and it is indeed a very solid company.

However, there is no way out of the country's institutional rules and regulations. It must be made clear.

Fortunately, Ye Xiaomin had done her homework in advance and had a full understanding of the company's special circumstances. She immediately cited certain exceptions in the national high-tech enterprise review regulations and explained to the preliminary reviewers:
"It is like this, according to Article 15 of the "Regulations on Examination", as long as one of the following exceptions is met, the use of 'patent application' as evidence of the scientific research capabilities of enterprises is allowed.

The third paragraph of these "inside and outside conditions" stipulates that the relevant technology under review has obtained substantial overseas authorization performance, reaching the following scale..."

The follow-up clauses are relatively long, and generally speaking, they have the same meaning: Even if the technology in the application process has not yet received the final authorization from the Patent Office, as long as there are verifiable and well-qualified foreign companies to buy it for real money How much is your authorization and the amount of foreign exchange earned, then this kind of "patent application" can also be used as evidence for high-tech enterprise bid evaluation.

As for Essilor's industry status, there is obviously no need to repeat it. Except for Carl Zeiss, there are few other precision optics companies that are more famous than it.Essilor's relevant authorized cooperation contract with Tianyuan Technology is definitely not a fake.

After seeing the contract brought by Ye Xiaomin, the preliminary examiners immediately improved their attitude and said that they could invoke the exception clause.

However, these evidences still need to be observed for a period of time. After Essilor officially transfers the money, the payment vouchers and relevant foreign exchange management vouchers are attached to be considered complete. For the time being, we can only file a case first.

Fortunately, the relevant application process has been relatively long. Within half a month, Essilor's first payment of 200 million US dollars has arrived first, and subsequent payments will be made in batches within the year.

After obtaining these supporting documents, the relevant departments in the province immediately released them in an expedited manner.

As the person in charge, Ye Xiaomin spent several months on this matter, and even skipped classes for a while after school started, and often had to keep up with the progress.

However, she also enjoys this kind of work experience, being able to use Brother Gu's performance certificates to pretend to be aggressive everywhere, enjoying the surprised expressions of relevant provincial departments after seeing the relevant certificates, and giving the green light to special matters.

It is quite an honor to have her as a follower running errands.

……

Even those who run errands can be very cool, and the glory that Gu Zhe, the client, can enjoy is beyond the imagination of teachers and students.

It's a pity that Gu Zhe himself doesn't really care about it, he's already used to it.

The day when Essilor received the first tranche of 200 million US dollars was September 9th, the first Friday after school started. Because of the time difference, the transfer from France was earlier.

In the past week, Gu Zhe enjoyed the awe-inspiring gazes of his classmates and teachers.

The experience of reading "Today's Statement" during the summer vacation has long been known to all teachers and students in the school—except for a few special nerds who don't listen to things outside the window and have low EQ.

Gu Zhe has always been very modest, saying that everything is due to good luck.

He was able to be interviewed not because his company has made much contribution to the country, but because it happened at the right time and created a typical case in the history of judicial practice.

Unfortunately, explanations are useless.

Most of the classmates he comes into contact with are students of science and engineering, and telling them about "reverse counterfeiting under the Trademark Law" is completely foolish.

All of Gu Zhe's seeking truth from facts and modesty were regarded as hypocrisy of false modesty.

Gu Zhe sometimes felt quite lonely, no matter whether it was a liberal arts classmate or a science classmate, no one could understand all of him, and everyone could only keep up with a small part of his soul.

After explaining too much, it was found to be invalid, and he would lie flat on this issue.

It's annoying, worship if you want.

……

It was Friday afternoon when the money arrived.

The school's intramural network system has just opened up permissions for students to choose elective courses for the new semester.Theoretically, the authority will be open for two and a half days, and the subsequent weekends and weekends can also be selected on a first-come, first-served basis.

As early as the summer vacation, when Gu Zhe had just entered into a lawsuit against Lehman Glasses, he had chatted with director Liu and others from the school's Academic Affairs Office in the public gallery of the court. They all agreed to give Gu Zhe the green light to advance, He can choose courses at will, so that he can get a postgraduate exchange quota after completing the undergraduate credits as soon as possible.

However, when it came to the actual operation, there still seemed to be some small problems. The main reason was that there was still a bug in Gu Zhe's account permission settings, the opening was not thorough enough, and some course selection operations could not be carried out.

Gu Zhe didn't want to bother, so he went directly to the school's Academic Affairs Office, found Director Liu, and directly coordinated with the maintenance staff of the intranet to help him choose courses with administrator privileges.

Gu Zhe said it straight to the point: "Director Liu, I remember that you promised me during the summer vacation that I can take any courses to earn credits, even liberal arts. I'll figure it out, I don't have enough courses in material chemistry and material physics. .

I'd better add a few law courses and treat them as public electives.You know, I don't need to take those classes, just relying on my common sense of starting a business to sue is enough to pass the exam. "

Director Liu was also very straightforward, and directly led Gu Zhe to the data maintenance office, letting him choose whatever he wanted.He dictated and asked the teacher from the data maintenance department to help him operate.

Gu Zhe was also very grateful, but unfortunately, because there were too many classes, he had to check each class that was open this semester.

The teacher at the data maintenance department was also patient, making him feel less anxious.

Gu Zhe chose halfway, but the text message rang several times. It was from Ye Xiaomin, communicating with him about the French money arriving in his account.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Ye Xiaomin also called and wanted to ask for instructions on the settlement of foreign exchange and how much US dollars should be left to directly purchase imported scientific research equipment.

Gu Zhe had no choice but to apologize to Director Liu and the teacher in the data maintenance department: "Sorry for keeping you waiting a little longer, I will answer the phone first-the French just called me 200 million dollars, I Just take care of a note on foreign exchange settlement.”

Director Liu was also easy-going: "I'm not in a hurry, you go first."
