Chapter 12 It's Not That There Are No Talents In The Domestic Film Industry
Motorcycles are a good choice, so Gao Jin chose Harley’s latest American-made flagship Glide, which costs 450,000 naked.
Gao Yuande paid directly and completed all the procedures. The dealer also sent a helmet, gloves, and three boxes, all of which were required.
Gao Jin stopped taking the car and rode away directly.
The father and son rode straight to the IRS office not far away. The procedures were completed and the work was done quickly. They successfully paid the purchase tax and received the receipt.
Then I went straight to the vehicle management office.
The old Cao in Gao Yuande's mouth is called Cao Xiangdong, who works at the Vehicle Management Office, and met Gao Yuande while watching the World Cup at an open-air food stall.
At that time, both of them were optimistic about the Italian team, and everyone else was optimistic about the French team. A bunch of people howled, and finally the Italian team won.
In the entire food stall, only two people bought Italian lottery tickets. After the results appeared, Gao Yuande invited Cao Xiangdong to have a drink together, and the two got to know each other.
Later, we drank wine from time to time and established a certain friendship.
Gao Yuande made a phone call outside, and Cao Xiangdong came out. After a few polite words, Gao Yuande talked about the matter.
Cao Xiangdong looked at the various procedures and found that everything was in order and there was nothing to add.
"It's easy, come with me, we'll get it done in a minute." After saying that, he led the father and son into the vehicle management office.
Cao Xiangdong arranged for someone to lead Gao in to go through various formalities. He and Gao Yuande were talking to the side, and the topic of the two of them turned to football without realizing it.
Gao Jin ran back and forth with the staff. From their words, it could be judged that Cao Xiangdong was still a small boss, and a powerful one at that.
I really admire my father's wide range of friends. The people I have known outside for more than three years are all powerless and poor, and their pockets are cleaner than their faces.
Comparing it with the people my dad knows, it really makes a difference.
At almost twelve o'clock, Gao Jin completed all the formalities and came back with two printed temporary license plates. It would take three days for the official motorcycle license plate to be issued.
Only temporary license plates can be used during these three days.
"Old Cao, let's have a drink together." Gao Yuande said with a smile.
"I'm at work. Drinking is strictly prohibited during work."
"Another day, another day, I'll treat you then," Cao Xiangdong said with a smile.
After saying a few polite words to Gao Yuande, they left. Gao Yuande and Gao Jin left the DMV and returned home.
On the way, they bought a few side dishes and two large pieces of soy sauce beef at Zhouji Braised Meat Shop. Then the father and son returned home and pushed their motorcycle directly into the yard.
Gao Yuande went to make rice. Gao Jin had already put the side dishes on the table and opened a bottle of Jiannanchun. When Gao Yuande came back, the father and son drank it.
The atmosphere was nice and harmonious as we talked and drank some wine.
After a bottle of wine was finished and the rice was ready, we started eating directly. After eating and drinking, we went back to our rooms to sleep.
Three days passed slowly, and Gao Yuande received a call from Cao Xiangdong. The license plate was out and he could come over to get it.
Gao Yuande thanked him and arranged for Gao Jin to go to the vehicle management office to get the official license plate for the motorcycle. He looked at the Beijing A license plate and felt relieved.
Another four days passed,
Chen Hao took a taxi to the dealership, got the license plate of his Porsche Phantom Tiger, which also had a Beijing A license plate, and drove back directly.
Instead of parking in front of the house, we parked directly in a nearby parking building. The five-story parking building can park more than 700 cars.
Gao Jinan was born, and Gao Yuande felt that his Wuling car was a bit old, so he disposed of it and replaced it with a four-wheel SUV.
The car is sold directly at a low price, the license plate is retained and transferred directly to the new car.
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the father and son have nothing to do at home all day long. I just eat and drink every day, which is boring.
A few days after New Year's Day, when the father and son had nothing to do to watch the news, Shangjing City announced that it would stop issuing Beijing A license plates. Only vehicles with Beijing A license plates could enter within the Second Ring Road.
After seeing the news, the father and son looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
I have three vehicles with Beijing A license plates at home, and everything is fine.
"Dad, let's go to the south to celebrate the New Year. It's too cold here in Beijing."
Gao Jin said that it was not that the alley here had not undergone heating renovation, but that it was collectively rejected by the residents of the alley.
The news says that coal is not allowed to be burned, but gas or central heating is required. When we start counting heating households here, we directly ask them to pay 20,000 for pipe fees, construction fees, meter box fees, and heating fees.
Gao Yuande didn't care. Anyway, the three air conditioners at home were on, and Gao Yuande didn't care about the electricity bill.
As a result, several surrounding alleys jointly boycotted the unreasonable charges, and Gao Yuande just followed suit. If you agree, I agree. If you don't, I won't.
"Where do you want to go?" Gao Yuande asked.
"I don't know, I'm very conflicted right now. I don't want to be cold, but I don't want to move either," Gao Jin told the truth.
"I'm too lazy to move just like you. Let's hibernate. Anyway, the food stored at home is enough for us."
"In a few days, go to the store to buy a batch, enough to last until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Gao Yuande said lazily.
The reason why he stayed in Shangjing and never left was partly because Gao Jin went to school, and more importantly because Gao Yuande suddenly felt too lazy to move and didn't want to wander around.
It was as if I suddenly became lazy, lost my energy, and lost my interest in playing around.
"Have you thought about what industry you plan to engage in when you start a business?" Gao Yuande asked.
"Think about it, let's make a movie. After the New Year, we will directly acquire small companies with complete qualifications and take our time." Gao Jin blurted out, and that was really what he was thinking.
Gao Yuande curled his lips and was really not optimistic about Gao Jin's project.
"You'd better do some research. The film industry is not very prosperous now," Gao Yuande kindly reminded.
"Dad, I know this."
"Many companies that make films in China are not doing it to make money, but to launder money and offset corporate income tax."
“What matters is not the quality of the film, but how much it costs.”
"Those investors always said that I invested several hundred million in such and such a movie, but the actual investment was only about 10 million."
"As soon as the film loses money, the investor's company can record a loss of hundreds of millions. If the company makes no profit minus the loss, it will be a loss for the whole year, so it does not need to pay corporate income tax."
“And you can also get part of the taxes paid before”
"After completing these things, after going back and forth with some studios, the film was placed under the name of other companies for operation."
"The back-and-forth acquisition can keep several companies in a state of loss for a year."
"The company is losing money"
"However, the boss not only did not lose money but also made money."
"This is also the reason why those bosses and celebrities have dozens of companies under their names. These people are not just trying to make money from making movies."
"So, this is the fundamental reason for the sluggish domestic film market."
"Reasonable tax avoidance is enough to make money. If you want to make this money, you must make the film lose money."
"Those people know very well what kind of ridiculous videos they make, but they can only play in this way, and only in this way can they make money."
"If you don't play any tricks and actually invest hundreds of millions of yuan, after deducting various taxes and fees, the final net profit will not exceed one million."
"This is a systemic problem, not a lack of talent in the domestic film industry."
Gao Jin finished speaking, and Gao Yuande nodded. Since his son knew what was going on, he didn't need to worry.
