Shenhao started as a military training anchor

The Oriental Mythology Theme Park, with a planned investment of 300 billion yuan, is a key project of Jiangcheng Hi-Tech Zone.

Holly's Haikuo Investment Holding Group, as the largest tourism investment group in Jiangcheng, is the bidder for the project.

To be honest, the positioning of this project is too high. Compared with Shanghai Disney and Universal World Theme Park in Beijing, the evaluation of this project within Haikuo Investment Holding Group is not so ideal.

The investment risk is high and the profit margin is narrow.

The reason why Holly decided to bid was because the secretary mentioned it last year.

The Midwest needs a similar large-scale integrated entertainment project.

Holly also wanted to give back to the local area and provide jobs... Based on these social values, he decided to bid.

From the perspective of market competitiveness, Haikuo Investment Holding Group rarely loses in such large-scale projects. In addition, it has been deeply rooted in Jiangcheng for many years and has a good social influence and reputation.

This bid, although not 100% certain, is at least 90% certain.

What Holly didn't expect was that not long after the secretary went to Beijing, the municipal government introduced another investor, and it was foreign capital, to participate in the bidding.

I heard that it was Leader Ma who introduced it personally.

What does it mean?
Should we strike him down again, or should we use checks and balances to prevent him from becoming the only one in power and achieve the goal of controlling him?

The results of the meeting in Beijing haven't come out yet. Is Leader Ma a little anxious?

Holly visited Haikuo Investment Holding Group and re-evaluated the 300 billion project with the board of directors.

Judging from the input-output ratio, the profit is meager. Now there is another foreign bidder. If we intend to lower the price with them, then there will be no investment value.

What's more, this project is positioned as an oriental mythology theme park, and with the entry of foreign capital, no one can guarantee that there will not be major differences in management in the future.

In the end, it turned out to be a mess and really made people hate it.

It is true that Brother Huo cares about the local development, but he doesn't want to be the victim.

Don’t follow the old path of Wanda Wang.

The Wanda Mao worth tens of billions of dollars was finally sold off.

Hawley bluntly said at the board meeting: "Give up the bid.

Now that new investors have come in, we will withdraw without violating relevant regulations.

Spend your money elsewhere.”

Haikuo Investment Holding Group has no shortage of projects and only undertakes large-scale medium-sized projects. It is also one of the few travel investment companies in China that has not exceeded the debt red line.

The competitiveness goes without saying.

The other board members had no objections and unanimously passed a resolution to give up the bid.

After the board meeting, the CEO followed Holly to the office and expressed his thoughts, "After the secretary left, the city's attitude towards us seemed to have changed..."

He was halfway through saying his words when Holly shut him up with a look.

Holly said: “We will reduce the scale of investment in Jiangcheng this year.

If Leader Ma continues to stay in Jiangcheng, we will also sell the plots of land we bought before.”

The CEO nodded.

It turns out that Holly knew it very well.

Holly kept thinking about what the secretary had told him before he left, and thought that it was harmless to take a step back occasionally.

Consider the big picture.

He doesn't want the theme park project.

……

I originally thought that if I took a step back, the world would be more open.

As a result, not long after, bad news came from Yisu Travel again, saying that the city had suspended the issuance of financial licenses.

Holly's expression suddenly turned serious.

Jiangcheng is considered to be the most developed region in Internet finance, and 60 to 70 percent of Internet finance licenses are issued by Jiangcheng.

The financial companies of various major Internet companies are all registered in Jiangcheng.

Normally, if the formalities are complete, the license can be obtained by going through the process.

As an Internet company, Yisu Travel must be linked to finance.

Stopping the issuance of financial licenses to Yisu is equivalent to cutting off one of Yisu’s fingers.

The stock market reacted before the news even got out.

It has been falling continuously in the past few days, and the decline is quite large.

At the beginning, Brother Huo saved the A-share market single-handedly.

Treat Brother Huo like this now.

Brother Huo was a little sad.

Holly did not respond immediately, but asked CEO Zhao Dong to go there in person and try to resolve the issue. Zhao Dong went there several times, but the result was the same.

Holly was a little angry.

That morning, I went to the city government in person.

Leader Ma was arranging tasks for his subordinates. He noticed Holly coming over, smiled, stood up and invited Holly to come into his office and sit down.

"Mr. Huo, you seldom come to sit with me," said Leader Ma with a smile.

Holly said bluntly: "Leader, I don't know what went wrong with the Easy Finance license. Please give me some advice."

"I have heard about this matter. Mr. Huo, I will ask for you this afternoon," said Leader Ma.

Financial licenses require review by the People's Bank of China at the provincial level or above.

Relevant government departments are also required to provide corresponding materials.

Zhao Dong tried several times to get the license plate but failed. Holly didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with the government.

"Leader Ma, when the secretary left, I had a meal at his house," Holly said.

It was visible to the naked eye that Leader Ma's expression changed slightly.

The meal alone was enough to keep him guessing.

Holly continued, “The secretary’s evaluation of you is good and he is quite positive about you.

This is the important reason why I decided to continue staying in Jiangcheng."

Leader Ma’s face completely darkened.

He understood what Holly meant.

Holly made all these concessions just for the sake of the former secretary.

Otherwise he wouldn't behave so peacefully.

Before Leader Ma could speak, Holly continued, “If we count by rank, we are at the same level.

I am 35 years old this year, and Leader Ma is 65 years old, right?

Are you sure you are stable?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Boss, the meeting above hasn't come to a conclusion yet." Holly reached out to take the tea brought by the secretary and put it on the coffee table without drinking it.

He stood up and said goodbye: "Leader, see you later."

When Holly walked out of the office door, Leader Ma realized that Holly was not there to discuss business today.

I don't want to have a good relationship with him.

Every word I just said is a warning.

……

Holly left the city hall, got in the car, and called Zhao Dong, "Change the company's registered place.

Register in the Cayman Islands.”

Zhao Dong didn't ask any more questions and did as Holly asked.

The domestic policy is based on the principle of territorial jurisdiction. As long as the company is registered in the country, you have to pay taxes no matter where you do business.

Places like the Cayman Islands follow the territorial principle. If a company is registered here, it does not have to pay taxes as long as it does not engage in production or business activities here.

It is equivalent to paying less tax.

This is a reasonable tax avoidance allowed by the national tax law, so many companies choose to register in the Cayman Islands.

All of Holly's companies are registered in the country with the intention of paying more taxes to the country.

The issue of the Internet finance license has hurt Holly because of the Jiangcheng Municipal Government.

Then it’s not Brother Huo’s fault for legally evading taxes.

Reducing Jiangcheng’s tax revenue is one thing, but the main purpose is to show it to Beijing.

I feel a little wronged and want to complain to my mother, but I can't just run to her and tell her. I just want to see if she can understand.

If the mother doesn't coax her baby son, changing the company's registered place is just the beginning.

When EasyTravel submitted its application for change, the city began to panic.

This is a company with a market value of 700 billion.

Is the next step to move the headquarters as well?

First it will be Yisu, and then it may be E-an, Shunwei Capital, Haikuo Investment, Qihang Media... multiple groups.

If these companies go away, Jiangcheng's GDP will probably experience negative growth this year. (End of this chapter)
