So the "Huang's Drug Store" opened bustlingly. [Read the latest chapter] Huang Zhen had the one thousand yuan activity fund that Xin Nachun brought, and he had a lot of money. He immediately hired people to decorate the store and ordered money-making tools.
Huashan Mountain in Xiyue is where the Huashan Sect is located. Countless pilgrims come to the mountain to offer incense every year. The Huashan Sect, as one of the big landowners on the ground in Huashan, has many shops up and down the mountain. So doing business is no stranger to Huang Zhen.
However, they are wealthy people in Huashan, and the government has to show some respect and will not deliberately create difficulties. This is a birthplace, and we must first maintain good relations.
Huang Zhen thought about it and decided to visit the "director" of Nanbao Cooperative first. When he first rented the house, the director was very enthusiastic. She said that if you want to open a store, you can contact her directly.
Huang Zhen originally thought that this "director" was just the "shopkeeper" of the "cooperative". Although it is quite rare for a woman to be a shopkeeper, it is not unique in the Ming Dynasty. But what he learned later shocked him:
It turns out that the female director is still a "cadre" - he knows cadres, and she is the official of the thief. It's okay for the thief to let women be officials. Wu Zetian was also an emperor after all, and a shopkeeper can be considered an "official"!
There are many "imperial shops" in the capital, but I have never heard that the shopkeepers there are from "officials", not even "officials". The thief Kun actually thinks that the shopkeeper of a branch of a cooperative can be given an official position. It is absolutely not the right way to award famous officials indiscriminately. Its prosperous and prosperous literature, .□et market is nothing more than an illusion. The thieves looted Guangdong, defeated several sea pirates, and took away a large amount of goods, all of which were piled in this small Lingao. How can this Lingao market not be rich? Look at those flashy street lights, ditches, and paved roads - it's simply a waste! But spending money to make things look good to outsiders is just to attract ignorant people - no different from when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wrapped trees in silk in Luoyang.
With this idea of "seeing through the truth", Huang Zhen prepared four-color water gifts and a solid red envelope - not a circulation coupon, but a half-weight gold ring. He believes that everyone understands and likes the value of gold. Even if it cannot be used directly on the market, it will be collected.
The female director, a MILF, was originally a shopkeeper in a grocery store in Guangdong. After her husband died, she was unable to support the store. I heard that life was easy in the high position. Then he took his children and a few children to Lingao. In order to make ends meet, he joined a cooperative and worked as a shop assistant.
She was born as a shopkeeper. A very familiar set in business. He could write and calculate, and he was very versatile when greeting customers. He became the backbone of the business in less than a year, and was promoted to branch director after three years.
I heard that he is going to officially open a store. Overjoyed: It turns out that Li Mei recently issued the evaluation indicators for Xinde Cooperative. Everything else about Nanbao Branch looked good in the evaluation. Only in the real estate rental project, the performance is not good, there are too many vacant shop houses. Although it looks better than the Chengguan Town branch, the situation in Chengguan Town is special. In the future, it will be an administrative and cultural district, not a commercial location in itself.
Furthermore, although this cooperative is a commercial unit, it actually also serves the purpose of "promoting development." The branch president also serves as the director of the local branch of the "Ministry of Commerce Trade Promotion and Development Office" and is also under assessment pressure in terms of investment promotion and tax revenue growth.
I heard that Shopkeeper Huang not only wants to open a store, but also a medical store that is much needed in Nanbao. Runshitang has a branch here jointly run by the Ministry of Health. There are long queues outside every day, and the medicines are often sold at high prices. The shortage is not due to the population of Nanbao itself, but to the fact that a large number of people from Li District came to buy medicine to treat their illnesses.
Now there is another medical shop, which can divert some patients. It is simply a double harvest in the fields of business and civil affairs. The director became more enthusiastic and introduced business policies.
"Shopkeeper Huang runs a medical shop, so the first thing he needs to do is get some certificates." The director took out a piece of white paper, picked up a pencil and scrawled on it.
Huang Zhen nodded. He had already realized that Kun Thief liked to issue certificates.
The first is naturally the business license. There is no Industrial and Commercial Bureau under the Senate, but you still need to apply for a business license whether you open a shop or set up a stall. It's just that the issuing unit has become a police station. Specifically, it is the responsibility of the Civil Service of the National Police.
The reason why there is no industrial and commercial department is to be managed by the police. Mainly because of the lessons learned from later generations. Administrative departments such as the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, which only have administrative law enforcement powers and lack the ability to violently enforce laws, have very low law enforcement efficiency in China. They are often too big to handle and cannot handle small ones. There are holes everywhere. Therefore, with reference to the old Japanese police system, this function was handed over to the national police.
Huang Zhen murmured in his heart when he heard that the police would be alerted about this matter. But now that the matter has come to this, there is absolutely no reason to back down halfway.
Then there is the tax registration certificate, which is obtained from the State Administration of Taxation. Huang Zhen naturally knows how to collect taxes, but the Ming Dynasty's industrial and commercial taxes are very small and the collection is very rough. In most cases, the official state tax is pitifully small, but the "fees" and "donations" collected by the yamen are overwhelming, and temporary apportionments are common. Huang Zhen manages the assets of the Huashan sect and knows that taxes are always low and fees are high: the former are public servants and no one cares about them. They can just pay a little to cope with it. There are also many rich and powerful people who don't pay at all. The latter is something that the yamen keeps for its own use, so it is not so easy to slip by.
When it comes to Lingao, it's completely the opposite. There are no "fees and donations" here, but there are many types of taxes. Not only are they levied on shops, but they are also levied on employees. Not only are there business taxes, income taxes, but also stamp taxes... There are so many of them, and the calculation methods are so complicated that I feel dizzy.
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, the director stopped talking and said with a smile: "I won't be able to explain this for a while. Just go get your tax registration certificate and someone will help you explain it."
"Yes, yes, thank you, director."
"Originally, it's good to get to this point. But since you are running a medical store, you have to do a few more things."
"Please let the director know clearly."
The director said that since it involves medical and health care, it is necessary to apply for a "Medical and Health Business License" - this certificate is also issued by the National Police, or to be precise, it is managed by the Health Police Division of the National Police. All management related to the public health field is responsible for this department. As for the reason, it is the same as the business license is issued by the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Huang Zhen nodded helplessly, thinking that he was going to get Lao Shizi's "business license" anyway, so he could just get it together. Unexpectedly, the director said again:
"It's just that if you want to apply for this medical and health business license, you must first have two certificates: since you have 'medicine', you must also have a 'TCM license', and if you have 'medicine', you must have a 'TCM pharmacist license'..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhen hurriedly said: "Well, do I need a 'shopkeeper's license' to be a shopkeeper?"
The female director smiled: "That's not necessary. But if you are willing, you can take the industrial and commercial management qualification certificate. If you don't open your own store in the future, it will be very useful to work in one of our state-owned commercial enterprises."
Huang Zhen almost fainted.
The female director said something like, "Medicine matters are about people's health and lives, so we have to be cautious." Huang Zhen was just being cautious.
As for this professional qualification certificate, you have to go to Lingao General Hospital in Dongmen City to take the exam. In fact, there is a lot of controversy within the Senate and the health system regarding the issuance of Chinese medicine practice qualification certificates. Because a considerable number of elders suggest that traditional Chinese medicine should be "disused and preserved as medicine." However, the health clinic was simply unable to train enough medical staff with some knowledge of modern medicine, and ultimately decided to maintain the status quo. As Section Chief Deng, chief of the medical department of Lingao General Hospital and secretary of the Ministry of Health Office, said: "Place therapy also cures diseases."
"Shopkeeper Huang, don't worry. Our Senate has never made things difficult for the people. As long as the conditions are met, we will never deliberately make things difficult. If there is anything you don't understand, just come over and I will do my best." After that, he said with a flirtatious expression. Come here.
Huang Zhen pretended not to see it and stood up to bow.
"Thank you, director, for your advice. I'll do it right away." He said and presented the four-color water gift.
"Oh, how can I accept your gift?" the female director said with a dimple-like smile, "We don't like this here, don't let me make mistakes..." As he said this, his hand touched Huang Zhen's arm inadvertently, "You came all the way. Come on, it's not easy to do business here, don't spend money - if you really want to thank me, just come and talk often, let's exchange ideas - we are all serving the Senate and the people."
Huang Zhen got goosebumps. He originally wanted to give a gold ring, but it seemed that it would be troublesome. He quickly smiled and said: "It's just a four-color water gift. They are local products. Local products are just superficial. In the future, please ask the director for more." Take care and give guidance..."
After saying that, he quickly stood up to say goodbye. The director was unwilling to accept his gift. He declined it several times and finally returned it. Huang Zhen was secretly surprised: This thief is really incompetent! Seeing that this female fake Kun is very interesting to me... Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over my body, unbearable, unbearable.
Back at the store, they talked about the examination. Jiao Gongli and Song Shengying were also considered heroes. They heard that they had to take the examination in order to open their business, and they were a little at a loss. They have experienced many things in this life, but this exam is the first time that the eldest girl has stepped into the sedan chair. However, since I came to Lingao, I had no reason to back down, so I had to follow what the female director said and go to a bookstore on the street to find the "1634 Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Pharmacist Examination Syllabus and Guide", buy it and study it. Huang Zhen saw that the bookstore was full of similar books, which looked like the collection of eight-legged essays used by students to take exams. Feeling a little unsure, I picked two related "Past Question Papers" and "Review Encyclopedia" and brought them back for you two to review. As for registration, it is even simpler. The bookstore handles registration matters, and it is necessary to pay a fee, fill in a form, and take your fingerprints to get the admission ticket. (To be continued...)
