Chapter 390 The Film Studio and the Number One Scholar in the College Entrance Examination(1/2)
Chapter 390 The film studio and the top scorer in the college entrance examination
I don’t know whether it was because of the direct instructions from the leaders to handle special cases, or because of the relatively fast administrative efficiency during this period. Anyway, the establishment of the film studio was easier, simpler and faster than Cao Zhiqiang thought.
To obtain a film studio license, Cao Zhiqiang only needed to fill out a form, such as the name of the film studio, who is the director, how much the registered capital is, etc., and it was approved on the same day.
Then after Cao Zhiqiang transferred the 500,000 yuan to the newly established public account of the film studio, all the procedures were completed the next day.
Basically, it is similar to the situation when establishing a company later, and it feels faster than building a publishing house in the first place.
In this way, Hongguang Film Studio, a well-known leader in the industry, was born on an ordinary day.
The reason why it is called Hongguang Film Factory is because Cao Zhiqiang is too lazy to come up with a name. Moreover, he was born in Hongguang Machinery Factory and established a Hongguang Publishing House. Moreover, the boss of Hongguang Film Factory, or the management unit, also filled in the name "Hongguang Film Factory".
Guang Publishing House, so there is nothing wrong with calling it Hongguang Film Studio.
That's right, the superior unit of Hongguang Film Factory is not Hongguang Machinery Factory, but Hongguang Publishing House.
In other words, Hongguang Film Factory is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hongguang Publishing House.
This is not Cao Zhiqiang's personal selfishness, but Factory Director Li and Secretary Dong unanimously asked Cao Zhiqiang to do this in private.
As for the reason, it's not that these two people have any selfish motives, but that Hongguang Machinery Factory cannot afford it.
Why do you say that?
Because to establish a film studio, you need to pay for it, at least 500,000 in cash!
This is different from when you first opened a publishing house, where you only needed a registration fee, and then you could open an office in the factory and start business.
Hongguang Machinery Factory may have a great business, but its books are all empty now, and it can't come up with 500,000 in cash at all.
Not to mention five hundred thousand, even fifty thousand is enough.
What? Can't you borrow money first, and then contract the operation to Cao Zhiqiang like the original Hongguang Publishing House, and take money from Cao Zhiqiang to fill the hole?
Of course this is not possible, because Hongguang Machinery Factory cannot borrow money now.
If he could borrow 500,000 yuan, why would Director Li be so worried at the beginning, and would he still hold on to Cao Zhiqiang's straw?
Moreover, Director Li and Secretary Dong do not have the final say in everything in the factory. They may have the final say when it comes to aspects such as personnel and production, but when it comes to money, they may not have the final say.
If you borrow 500,000 yuan, someone will probably take action on the money soon. Maybe as soon as the money is transferred to the factory's account, it will be deducted from the other end.
Why did Director Li know that Hongguang Publishing House had a lot of money on its books, but he didn't transfer all the money from the publishing house and directly embezzled it all? Instead, he insisted on transferring a little money every month to pay the workers' wages, and he still used the
Borrow money in the form of an IOU?
It's because Director Li knows that the factory's public accounts are public, not his private ones.
Once all the funds from Hongguang Publishing House are misappropriated to the public account of the machinery factory, and it is not marked as a special fund for salary payment, the creditor may take it away as soon as the call is made, or the creditor may take it away.
A certain leader misappropriated it.
What? Who is so bold? Of course it is the superior leader!
Have you forgotten the nature of Hongguang Machinery Factory?
Therefore, Director Li just asked for money little by little from Cao Zhiqiang's Hongguang Publishing House, and the money he asked for was earmarked for his own use. It was only used to subsidize the wages of factory employees and was not used for other purposes.
Because if you use it for other purposes, it is really useless.
As long as the workers in the factory are paid, there will be no trouble, and as long as everyone doesn't make trouble, everything will be peaceful.
It doesn't matter what kind of raw materials you owe, what kind of electricity and water bills, what kind of public welfare subsidies for the third industry, etc., it doesn't matter how much you owe.
Because others also owe debts to their machinery factory, and everyone owes each other debts. As long as no one party is exposed, as long as no one goes bankrupt, as long as everyone continues to operate, and as long as there are superiors responsible for mobilization, then there is no debt.
In other words, the small income of Hongguang Publishing House cannot save Hongguang Machinery Factory, but it can save the majority of employees of Hongguang Machinery Factory.
As long as the majority of workers in the factory can continue to receive full wages, they will not make trouble. As long as everyone does not make trouble, the factory can continue to operate.
Yes, during this period, factories could continue to operate even if they had no money, because it was a planned economy.
Whether it’s Factory Director Li or Secretary Dong, they have high positions but low incomes.
If only it had been in the past, no matter how low the income was, it was still higher than the average person.
But things are different now. They are facing retirement and are a little bolder.
Or to put it more clearly, for the current Director Li and Secretary Dong, Hongguang Machinery Factory is no longer attractive. The real son is Hongguang Publishing House.
why?
Because first of all, Hongguang Publishing House is contracted and operated by Cao Zhiqiang himself. According to the contract, as long as Cao Zhiqiang pays a fixed amount of contracting fees every year, then Cao Zhiqiang has the final say in everything about Hongguang Publishing House. No matter how much he makes or loses, he will have the final say.
It belongs to Cao Zhiqiang personally.
Secondly, in this case, Cao Zhiqiang had a verbal agreement with Secretary Dong and Director Li, that is, 20% of the net profit Cao Zhiqiang personally earned from Hongguang Publishing House belonged to Director Li and Secretary Dong.
In other words, Secretary Dong and Factory Manager Li each had 10% of the net profit that Cao Zhiqiang himself obtained from Hongguang Publishing House.
Of this 20% profit, Cao Zhiqiang will give them cash in the form of a private donation.
In fact, this was not the case originally. The original agreement was for 20% of the net profit of Hongguang Publishing House to be divided between Secretary Dong and Director Li.
But later Cao Zhiqiang felt that it was inappropriate and could cause trouble easily.
After all, Hongguang Publishing House is still a state-owned enterprise no matter what.
It was fine at first, but after we had a separate financial staff, it became inconvenient to transfer money casually.
Because funds need to be transferred from state-owned enterprise accounts, you must explain the reason and destination of your transfer.
As for the behavior of distributing money to Secretary Dong and Director Li, it is obvious that it cannot be mentioned on the table.
So Cao Zhiqiang changed the method of dividing accounts, that is, from now on, any after-tax net profit Cao Zhiqiang personally earns from the publishing house will be divided into 20% to Secretary Dong and Director Li.
In this way, since it is Cao Zhiqiang's personal money, he can give it to whomever he wants without having to explain to anyone, which is naturally much more convenient.
Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li also thought this method was good, so they settled on it.
Although it seems that Cao Zhiqiang wants to give 20% of his net profit to Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li, it seems that he is suffering a loss, but in fact he is not.
Because the units currently operated by Cao Zhiqiang, including Hongguang Publishing House, Huaxia Audio and Video Company, and Hongguang Department Store, are all based on Hongguang Machinery Factory.
Without Hongguang Machinery Factory as a unit to protect them, even if all the units currently operated by Cao Zhiqiang can exist, it is not certain whether Cao Zhiqiang can have the final say.
In other words, Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li are Cao Zhiqiang's actual backers. To some extent, they are more useful than Uncle Xu.
Because Secretary Dong and Director Li are the first and second leaders of Hongguang Machinery Factory. As long as these two people are still there, the publishing houses and audio-visual companies that rely on Hongguang Machinery Factory will be Cao Zhiqiang himself.
The final say.
Of course, that's how it is now.
If privatization is possible in the future, he will definitely make all the units at hand private.
But now he can't do that, he still has to rely on Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li to protect him.
So the 20% of the profit is considered protection fee.
Strictly speaking, the 20% profit is not much.
In short, the film studio was not placed under the main factory of the Machinery Factory, really just because the Machinery Factory could not afford 500,000 yuan.
If you can come up with 500,000 yuan, that won't work.
Because nowadays, a sum like half a million cannot be misappropriated by Director Li or Secretary Dong at will. They must report to their superiors and apply for approval. Only then can they use the funds to establish a film studio.
But under normal circumstances, it is impossible to be approved.
Because during this period, to set up a film studio, you need a registered capital, and once the registered capital of 500,000 is invested, it cannot be withdrawn immediately.
In other words, the registered capital of 500,000 yuan is the public account of the film studio and the assets of the film studio, and the superior studio cannot misappropriate it without reason.
You know, a film studio not only has an sponsoring unit, the investor, but also a management unit, which is the film bureau.
Therefore, the funds of the film studio cannot be used for whatever the organizer wants. They can only be used for special purposes, such as purchasing related equipment or shooting movies and TV shows.
For these matters, the film bureau can send people to check the accounts at any time.
The so-called independence of accounts came later.
In short, the only state-owned enterprises that can spend 500,000 yuan at a time are Hongguang Publishing House and Huaxia Audio and Video Company.
However, Huaxia Audio and Video Company is a joint venture and currently does not have 500,000 yuan on its books, so it is not suitable.
In the end, after all the calculations, only Hongguang Publishing House could do it, and its identity was also the most suitable, so that was it.
In any case, Hongguang Film Factory was officially opened for business on a sunny day.
The listing location is actually Hongguang Publishing House. It is just a sign of Hongguang Film Studio next to Hongguang Publishing House.
The office location is also the office building of Hongguang Publishing House, and several warehouses are allocated to Hongguang Film Factory.
As for the office staff of Hongguang Film Factory, they are also shared with Hongguang Publishing House.
Others, like the director of the film studio, are Cao Zhiqiang, the deputy director is Chen Jiabang, and the others all use their names as people from Hongguang Publishing House.
As for the opening ceremony, there was no grand opening ceremony. After all, the situation was different from the original publishing house.
Just hold a simple hanging ceremony, set off firecrackers and take photos, that's all. Keep everything simple.
In any case, with the film studio as a brand, Cao Zhiqiang can seriously make movies on his own, even if his film studio is just an empty shell without any formal filmmakers.
