Chapter 474: Profits Drop Sharply
After avoiding the search by Ah Fu, the chief steward of the Prince Jing's Mansion, Liu Ping'an took a southbound ship to southern Xinjiang. No matter what era or time it is, it is boring to travel.
After dropping a teleportation mark on the ship, Liu Pingan returned to the Siheyuan world. During this period, with the expansion of his logistics company, the news of making money spread all over the neighborhood.
Liu Ping'an's company's accounts are not difficult to calculate, even his drivers can do it clearly. At present, his main business is still wholesale. The purchase work below is also done by these drivers.
If they couldn't afford or buy a car, his drivers would have gone out to work on their own. Although banks also have loan business, they need collateral.
These working class people don’t even own their own houses, so how can they get loans? Therefore, these people can only give up the idea of going out to work on their own.
However, this is a trend. There is never a shortage of capital flowing into profitable industries.
During this period of time, there were many logistics companies like Liu Ping'an in the city. They were all dealing in fruit and food. Of course, there were also some smuggling.
How can the money earned from smuggling fruits be as much as that earned from smuggling? It is not limited to household appliances and other daily necessities. Some rampant ones even smuggle finished gasoline. As for the source, it is naturally the coastal areas.
After more than half a year of development, Liu Ping'an's logistics company now has more than 30 trucks, running all over the country. Almost every day, a truck returns to Sijiu City to unload goods. Liu Ping'an no longer needs to use space to move materials.
Liu Ping'an also gave up the lease of the two warehouses at the railway station. He simply couldn't rent any vacant train cars. It wasn't like later when he could use an empty train to load some water and resell it. The train's capacity was far from enough. Even if there were empty train cars, they were rented out by the director's relatives at a high price. The relationships were complicated, and Liu Ping'an had no connections in the railway system, so it wasn't his turn to use the idle capacity.
Two months' rent wasted.
Liu Pingan directly set up the headquarters of his logistics company in Sijiucheng outside the third ring road. At this moment, it is not impossible to set it up in the inner city. But it will definitely be demolished in the future. Although he can get a compensation, it is too troublesome to move it back and forth. It is better to do it in one step to avoid moving it later.
Now, the person who manages the accounts of his logistics company is his daughter Yaya, Liu Pingan's favorite daughter. This girl graduated from university this year. She originally studied at a normal school, which can be said to have nothing to do with the profession of accounting.
However, it is more than enough for a college student to manage a small startup company like his father. Although Yaya is in the position of finance and accounting in the company, she exercises the power of the boss.
Because the office of Liu Pingan, the real boss, is always empty. Today, Liu Pingan took the opportunity to take a look at the development of his company while the ship from the Third World to Southern Xinjiang was still on the way.
As soon as he arrived at the office and made himself a pot of tea, he was blocked by his daughter, the company's executive boss.
"What's going on? Who made my daughter angry? Tell dad and I'll vent your anger on your behalf."
"Humph, who else could it be other than you? It was agreed that I would come to your company to work as a financial officer and take care of the accounts. It's easy."
"But now, it's such a big company with more than 50 people, but you disappear every day and I have to handle everything. Is this your business or mine?"
"Haha, you feel wronged now? You don't feel wronged every time you go out to buy new clothes and eat delicious food?"
"Don't you ever think about who pays you such a high salary?"
"Hey, as the boss of a company, you can't be away from the company every day! Now is the rising period of the company's development. If something happens in the company, don't you care about it?"
"Oh, isn't the company doing fine? What happened?"
"Our company's recent profits have dropped by one-third compared to last month. This is the second consecutive month of decline. When the time comes, you will be anxious if you can't pay the workers."
"What happened? Have you investigated the cause?"
"It's because of the squeeze from our peers. In the past six months, there have been so many more people like us in the city who have been transporting materials from other places. Most of them are just a few people per car, and they don't pay taxes to the country. We are a legitimate company and we have to pay taxes according to the law. How can we compare with them?"
The inland land transportation has never been saturated. Among them, trucks are undoubtedly the protagonists. Not to mention now, even in the future, the number of private trucks will far exceed that of logistics companies.
These groups all pay individual income tax, except that they need to find the goods themselves, which is something no other company can compare to.
It seems that from now on, the truck driver industry has entered a period of growth. The city of Beijing is indeed full of hidden talents! This truck worth tens of thousands of dollars can be bought at will, and you can also find a way to get it.
However, it must be said that with the opening of national highways and highways connecting the two places, this industry is still on the rise. Until the establishment of several major logistics companies and the occupation of the mainland market by a certain Lala platform, the world of truck drivers finally collapsed.
"Since it's no longer profitable to trade in goods, what's your plan?"
"You are the boss of the company. You should be the one to worry about this matter. Even if I have any, I won't tell you. If you can't pay the workers, you will be the one who is anxious."
Hearing this, Liu Pingan was frightened and looked at the pile of cash in his space. His heart immediately calmed down. These were the profits Liu Pingan made from trading goods in his space during this period. He did not pay taxes, nor did he record them in the company's account. It was his own private treasury. Part of it was used to buy cars and develop his own company.
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg of Liu Ping'an's assets in Siheyuan World. In Hong Kong Island, his financial company invests everywhere and uses big AI models to speculate in the short term.
If Liu Ping'an had not set an asset management cap, the AI-managed fund pool running in the Hong Kong Island computer room would only be getting bigger and bigger.
The reason why I don't trade Hong Kong stocks is that the scale is too small, and Hong Kong has not yet achieved full computer trading, and all buying and selling are done manually. There are too many tricks involved.
