Chapter 184 Zhou Dong was scared to death!
Zhou Hanchao felt equally strange.
Isn't Zheng Wan from Dongcheng? I have done a special investigation before, and it seems that except for a relative who is a policeman, he doesn't have any special connections.
Why does even his cousin Zhou Dong respect this person Zheng Wan called over so much?
Zhou Hanchao was curious about Zheng Wan and Zhang Ting, whom his cousin respected so much. He couldn't help but take out his cell phone and send his cousin a message: "Brother, who is this Zhang Ting?"
Cousin Zhou Dong quickly pressed the button on his phone and replied: "Taxation, Zhang Ting! That's right."
After seeing this message, Zhou Hanchao's whole body suddenly became excited.
You must understand that your cousin is the director of the district taxation, and his power is already so great; above him there is the municipal taxation; above the city taxation there is the provincial taxation.
The provincial tax department is called the department. If Zhang is the official director, he is a veritable director! And they are in charge of taxation for the entire province.
This official position is two or three levels higher than that of my cousin!
In the officialdom, each step up requires great efforts, and each step up can bring stronger power, and it is the kind that expands in the shape of a trumpet.
Moreover, Director Zhang is still in charge of taxation, which is equivalent to his cousin’s direct superior.
Zhou Hanchao looked at Zheng Wan again in shock, wondering why this eighteen-year-old boy knew someone with such power!
District Director Zhou Dong had already raised the cup in his hand. He looked at Zhang Ting with a flattering look on his face: "Zhang Ting, it's a great blessing that you took the time out of your busy schedule to come over. I'd like to toast to you."
After saying that, Zhou Dong drank the wine in the small cup in one gulp.
Not only Zhou Dong, but also Zhou Hanchao also raised his cup and said a polite word, trying to get close to Zhang Ting.
The wine culture at the dinner table is important, but Zhang Chengming doesn't seem to want to drink with Zhou Dong and Zhou Hanchao.
In response to the two clinking glasses, Zhang Chengming just took a slight sip to express his response, nothing more.
Then Zheng Wan also picked up the wine: "Zhang Ting, I asked you to take a break from your busy schedule this time, taking up your precious time."
Zhang Ting also picked up the wine: "No problem, it is our duty and obligation to help small and medium-sized enterprises!"
With that said, Zhang Ting clinked glasses with Zheng Wan, and then they both drank in one gulp.
Seeing this, Zhou Dong and Zhou Hanchao felt even more complicated.
The two of them toasted each other and drank a little casually, but Zheng Wan drank the whole toast in one gulp. This shows that Zhang Ting is very fond of Zheng Wan!
Zhou Dong felt a little heavy.
Zheng Wan specially invited him over, and then put on some airs, and finally greeted Director Zhang. In other words, this banquet was not specially invited to Zhou Dong, but a Hongmen banquet for Zhou Dong!
At this moment, seeing the heated conversation between Zheng Wan and Director Zhang, Zhou Dong seemed to have anticipated the storm that would unfold next.
It was a cruel storm for Zhou Dong.
Zhou Dong suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did he want to provoke Zheng Wan? Zheng Wan invited him over, but he asked for it because of Maoxian?
After Zhang Ting drank less than two taels, the topic finally got to the point.
"Xiao Zheng, how far has your group reached now?" Zhang Chengming asked seriously.
Zheng Wandao: "Director Zhang, Tuankaixin has now reached a bottleneck. The entire Hecheng market has been captured. If we want to expand to the entire province and even the country, we need to raise funds to allow capital to enter."
If a company wants to expand and develop into a listed company, there are only two ways to go.
The first way is to develop steadily, and then climb up step by step. After meeting the profit standards, it will naturally go public. But this kind of business is generally in the real industry.
The other is to rely on financing. Rounds A, B, and C will continue to raise money and continuously inject money. When the company reaches a certain scale, it will either be listed directly or through a backdoor listing.
Having capital willing to invest is almost half of the success for Tuanxin.
Zhang Chengming asked: "How is the financing going now?"
Zheng Wandao: "Both Baidu and SoftBank came here a few days ago. I didn't agree with Baidu's offer of 50 million for 30% of the shares, and I didn't agree with SoftBank's offer of 100 million for 20% of the shares."
"Because SoftBank is a consortium owned by an island country, to be honest, I am still a bit repelled by the island country. I prefer domestic capital to invest."
"Baidu is a domestic capital, but its investment is a bit low. I just went to Jianghang the day before yesterday and met with Mr. Ma of Al."
Listening to Zheng Wan's words, Zhou Dong and Zhou Hanchao's hearts beat inexplicably and their emotions became tense.
Zhou Dong and Zhou Hanchao knew about the company Tuanxin and Tuanxin's influence in Hecheng. They knew that many people were using Tuanxin.
However, they don’t know that Tuankaixin has been targeted by capital, even giant capital like Alibaba, Baidu and Softbank!
If we had known earlier that we were being targeted by these giants, we would have known that these giants would have to invest heavily in capital. For Zhou Dong, the district director, he wouldn't dare to do this even if he had the courage to do so!
Although Tuan Kaixin is now nominally under the control of the district.
But when its influence reaches a certain level, the district no longer has much control over it, and the city and even the province will take it seriously.
The height of influence is roughly bounded by 100 million.
Once a company's profits exceed 100 million and its taxes exceed 10 million, the district leaders and even the city will pamper it.
Zhou Dong didn't know the height of Tuan Kaixin before, but now listening to the conversation between the two, he finally knew what a wrong decision he made by forcibly stopping Tuan Kaixin's website.
Zhou Hanchao also regretted it. If he had known that Zheng Wan's group was so energetic, he would not have contacted his third brother. Instead of playing dirty tricks behind the scenes or even being tough, it is better to put down your face and beg for mercy.
On the other side, Zheng Wan and Zhang Chengming were still talking to each other.
Zhang Chengming asked again: "Then, after I went to Jianghang to find Al, what was the result?"
Zheng Wan's face looked sad and helpless, and he deliberately pretended to be miserable and said: "Later, Tuan Kaixin was shut down! Our district said that Tuan Kaixin was suspected of tax evasion, so the website was stopped directly."
"But Zhang Ting, I am really wronged! It is free for my Tuankai merchants to join, and there is no handling fee for users to purchase group purchases."
"It's not an exaggeration to say that this platform is for public welfare. I spent more than five million yuan on the platform in one month, but the platform didn't bring in a penny of income. I couldn't pay taxes even if I wanted to, because it was a negative profit!"
"At that time, Mr. Ma of Al was very satisfied with all aspects of Tuankai. He was about to open the website to take a look. Maybe he would choose to invest directly after reading it! Unexpectedly, the website was closed."
"At that time, Mr. Ma's face turned ugly for a moment. He reprimanded me and said that I still want to invest even though my website is closed? It's just a daydream, it's simply a fantasy."
"Then Mr. Ma just threw up his sleeves and left."
"So, meeting Mr. Ma to discuss investment is considered a failure. And I think now that the website is closed, once Baidu and SoftBank get the information, they will probably terminate the investment if they have already prepared to invest."
Zheng Wan said with a face full of grief and anger, and even added fuel to the fire to make the matter even more exaggerated and tragic.
After hearing this, Director Zhang's face became extremely solemn.
Zhou Dong, who was sitting next to him, even had beads of sweat on his forehead.
It had been decided to make the investment group happy with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Al's Mr. Ma might have also invested in the company, but because of Zhou Dong's personal decision, Mr. Al's entry was cancelled.
Zhou Dong really couldn't bear this kind of sin!
If this matter reaches the city leaders or the provincial leaders, his sin will be huge.
No, the problem now is that the provincial leaders already know!
Zhou Dong was sweating on his forehead and his body was even shaking a little.
This district director with extremely high power originally thought that Tuanxinan was like fried pork with chili peppers, an insignificant small business, and it didn't matter even if it was closed down or cleaned up.
But I never expected that Tuanxinxin would be a company that capital already attaches great importance to!
At this moment, the expression on Director Zhang's face was extremely solemn. He turned to look at Zhou Dong, his eyes as cold as a sharp knife.
Just this look immediately made Zhou Dong tremble all over.
Zhou Dong quickly stood up and said: "Zhang Ting, this is my mistake. I will tomorrow morning... no, I will go back to the office in a while, and then cancel the investigation of Tuan Happy!"
"This matter is a matter of my supervision. I failed to take care of and explain to my subordinates!"
With that said, Zhou Dong took out a goblet and poured wine into the goblet.
