Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Chapter 256 Liu Qiangdong visits Hao Qiang

March and April each year are the peak periods for the government to award policy-related corporate honors.

Future Technology Group has won many awards, including important government honors such as "Advanced Taxpayer in Guangdong and City", "National High-tech Enterprise", "Well-known Trademark in Guangdong Province" and "Municipal Enterprise Technology Center".

Among them, the recognition standards for some honors are particularly strict.

For example, for "national high-tech enterprises", for enterprises with annual sales revenue exceeding 2 million yuan, the R&D expenditure ratio must be no less than 3%.

In addition, the proportion of scientific and technological personnel must reach more than 10% of the total number of employees in that year.

In addition, there are many other strict application requirements.

Renjian Fireworks Catering Company does not meet the application requirements due to the nature of its industry, while Future Motorcycle Company and Galaxy New Energy Company both meet the application requirements.

Enterprises that obtain this certification can enjoy a preferential corporate income tax rate of 15%.

However, when these two companies negotiated investment with the government, they first obtained the three exemptions and three reductions policy, which means that corporate income tax will be exempted in the first three years.

Of course, other taxes such as value-added tax still need to be paid according to national unified regulations, and local governments have no right to reduce or exempt them.

Two years after obtaining the "Municipal Enterprise Technology Center" certification, the company plans to apply for the "Provincial Enterprise Technology Center" certification and then strive for the "National Enterprise Technology Center" certification.

With the group's current R&D investment and talent pool, it is not difficult to meet the standards of a "national enterprise technology center." It just requires a step-by-step application process, which may take some time.

At present, the company has obtained three system certifications including ISO9001 quality management system, provincial quality awards and other honors.

It is worth mentioning that many companies have to pay for the three-system certification. For small companies, the cost of certifying the ISO9001 quality management system is less than 10,000 yuan.

However, Hao Qiang doesn't like to do that and ask his employees to actually do quality certification.

But it is very troublesome to do, and the most difficult part is implementation.

If a quality system is established and used properly, and all employees participate, it will help improve the quality of the company's products. This is the same as 5S management.

Hao Qiang copied the "Quality Management System" and "Quality Manual" three times. He is very familiar with the ISO9001 quality management system and can apply it with ease.

In addition, the company also has to apply for national science and technology awards. The application deadline is before the end of April this year, and the awards will not be announced until the beginning of next year.

This is the first time the company has applied for such an award. The technical level of Future Motorcycle Company is too low-end, and there is no guarantee of winning the National Technological Invention Award and the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

"A New Type of Ternary Lithium Battery Technology" and "A New Type of Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Technology" were used to apply for the National Technological Invention Award, and "Ternary Lithium Battery Production Line" was applied for the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

Hao Qiang attaches great importance to the company's honors. Honors and certifications not only demonstrate the technological strength and innovation capabilities of Future Technology Group, but also bring considerable tax benefits to the company.

For Hao Qiang personally, these achievements are a reflection of his self-worth.

If Hao Qiang could win the second prize of the National Technological Invention Award, his joy would probably exceed earning hundreds of millions of yuan in profit.

As for the first prize of the National Technological Invention Award, the difficulty is daunting.

The selection of this award is closely related to technological development, industrial application and economic benefits.

Assuming that Future Technology Group successfully develops super lithium batteries and achieves large-scale production, bringing its technological level to the top internationally while promoting the development of the entire industry, then being selected as a candidate for the first prize of the National Technological Invention Award will not be a problem.

However, even so, winning the prize still requires a certain amount of luck.

When competing for such awards in the country, there are often other influencing factors.

Even if all conditions are met, under the same conditions, the review results may still be affected by some external factors.

A few days later, on the morning of March 9, Hao Qiang sat leisurely in his office, sipping tea and browsing domestic business news.

Yesterday was International Women's Day, and he spent a happy time with Qiu Yuqing and Han Qingying respectively.

It is too difficult to deal with two women at the same time. Fortunately, Qiu Yuqing understands him.

Although today is Friday, he decided not to go to school and just relax in the office for a day, putting work aside for the time being and not wanting to type, just to concentrate on enjoying this rare leisure time.

Recently, Hao Qiang's focus when reading the news has been on the development of the e-commerce industry.

The Future Motorcycle Company has opened nearly ten online stores on the Taobao platform, with an average daily sales volume of more than ten electric motorcycles, a result that makes him quite satisfied.

Since Taobao squeezed eBay out of the domestic market in 2005, it has monopolized more than 70% of the domestic e-commerce market.

In comparison, the up-and-coming Jingdong is still in its infancy, and its biggest bottleneck is insufficient capital turnover.

As for the later "infamous" Pinduoduo, it had not yet come into being at that time.

Hao Qiang had a grudge against this platform. He wanted to take advantage of it, but he didn't expect to be exploited by it.

So, he registered Pinduoduo's website domain name first to take revenge on it.

He thought to himself that if Boss Huang found out about this in the future, he would probably have to spend a lot of money to buy the domain name.

Although Hao Qiang admitted that this platform has great potential, he does not intend to actually get involved in it because it is too unethical.

After Hao Qiang had been reading the newspaper for more than ten minutes, the receptionist Li Xin called. He picked up the phone and Li Xin said:

"Chairman, Mr. Liu Qiangdong from Jingdong Century Trading Co., Ltd., also known as Jingdong Multimedia Network, would like to visit you.

Do you need to be connected or agree to schedule an appointment? "

Normally, if the visitor is not an important person, the front desk will politely decline, but will still record the visit information.

Hao Qiang also checks these records in his spare time to avoid missing important matters.

Li Xin has worked at the front desk for many years, specializing in answering external calls.

To ensure that the chairman understood the situation, she asked him a few more questions.

Hao Qiang was a little surprised. Isn't Jingdong Multimedia Network the Jingdong Mall of later generations? It's just that the name hasn't been changed yet.

How did you come to my house?

According to historical development, at the end of 2006, Liu Qiangdong met with Xu Xiaoxin of Today Capital in a hotel to seek a US$200 million investment.

Xu Xiaoxin pledged to invest $1000 million in Series A financing in order to obtain a larger stake.

At that time, Liu Qiangdong was not familiar with the concepts of valuation and venture capital, otherwise he would not have given up 40% of his shares in the Series A financing.

Typically, the share ratio in Series A financing is between 10% and 25%.

Fortunately, Liu Qiangdong signed a five-year bet agreement and achieved the performance target within two years, winning back 18% of the shares.

With the company's continuous development and subsequent financing, Today Capital's 22% stake was gradually diluted.

Although the two parties have reached a financing intention, the company's valuation still needs to be carefully evaluated.

In fact, the financing transaction was not finally completed until August 2007.

Last year, Jingdong's sales revenue was only over 10 million yuan, and it had fewer than 50 employees, which is why many investment institutions lacked interest in it.

However, in 2007, the company began to grow rapidly, with sales reaching 3.6 million yuan that year.

There is no doubt that this is closely related to the funds obtained after financing.

It can also be speculated that Liu Qiangdong himself also believes that the current valuation of Jingdong Multimedia Network is not high.

Now, Liu Qiangdong has come to us on his own initiative. Has the historical trajectory of financing changed?

Hao Qiang couldn't understand the reason, but he found out when they met.
