"Life is easy, but it is hard to grow old. Every year there is a Double Ninth Festival, and now it is a Double Ninth Festival. The yellow flowers on the battlefield are especially fragrant. The autumn wind is strong once a year, not like the spring scenery, but better than the spring scenery. The vast rivers and sky are covered with frost."
October of the Gregorian calendar is actually a very strange month. In October of the Chinese calendar, there is a big celebration festival, and there is also the Double Ninth Festival, a time to remember and pray for blessings.
Thinking of his heart's wish, Gu Qing recited a poem by a great man, then left the hotel arranged by Xia Wei refreshed and took a car to today's destination.
When I came to Germany this time, I really didn’t want to attend someone else’s press conference, but I planned to set up the first overseas company.
Of course, the most important thing is the funds received by several large platforms. Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice for Gu Qing to modify a few more industrial robots in his small factory to increase productivity?
What is the most important thing for all industrial companies that want to go overseas?
It can be said that there are many most important things to pay attention to, but in Gu Qing's view, a safe, economical and practical warehousing and maintenance factory is the most important.
The former can house enough products, while the latter can provide customers with the most important after-sales service.
From the perspective of ordinary people, when going overseas, the first stop overseas is often the United States.
As the world's financial technology hegemony, the United States does have enough charm to attract all small business owners to make US dollars.
But Gu Qing clearly remembers in his last life what kind of extravagant tricks America used when others might threaten him.
Warehouse fires, corporate executives and talented technical personnel commit suicide, policy restrictions and even fines, and public condemnation are all a variety of tricks to bring down a company that is gradually growing for the better.
Therefore, Germany, the looming top brother on the European continent, became another option.
What Britain?
Are you talking about the former world overlord who had the old Buddha controlling the government and the prince being unable to succeed to the throne, who spent all day doing nothing but repairing the yard and drinking tea just to isolate himself?
This script is so familiar, so the status of this country should also be familiar.
The old pirate had long been beaten on the beach by the waves of the times, and all that was left was the broken ship and a bunch of valuable antiques.
Moreover, Germany is now one of the main sites for many cross-border e-commerce platforms, and cross-border sellers have an increasing demand for German overseas warehouses, so more logistics companies provide German overseas warehouse storage services.
What’s even more amazing is that these cross-border e-commerce companies usually set up overseas warehouses in Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and other places. Xia Wei still has some connections in Munich and can speak out when something goes wrong.
Of course, Gu Qing himself did some research with [Xuanwu], focusing on small companies for easy acquisition.
But later he discovered that if Daxia’s domestic company is the main body and only conducts cross-border e-commerce sales in Germany, then in this case, it is only necessary to apply for a VAT number from the German Finance Bureau as a domestic company, and only in Germany Make VAT returns every month.
But if you want to establish a new company or acquire a company in Germany, you need to pay value-added tax, year-end corporate income tax and business tax in accordance with local German requirements.
But what's the use of just selling? Only by owning a large enterprise and recruiting enough local employees will the government look good on you and not even dare to suppress you at will.
In the end, Zmailman Warehousing Company was selected by [Xuanwu].
Zmailmann means carpenter in German, and this warehousing company is indeed an industry created by an old carpenter. It mainly places furniture and materials for furniture dealers and collects storage fees and maintenance fees.
The scale of this company is actually not large. It serves furniture stores around Munich. At its peak, the total number of employees was more than 100 people.
However, with the development of logistics and the "involution" of the furniture manufacturing industry, as well as the entry of cheap furniture from Daxia into the market, Zmailman's customers either went bankrupt and changed careers, or the volume of goods dropped sharply, or they found a small warehouse of their own. Deliver goods to save costs.
Therefore, the third generation of Zmailman Warehousing Company took office, and after the death of the old man, they began to actively seek to sell the property.
After all, I don’t feel bad selling my land. Although the price is a little high, my intention to sell it is quite sincere. After all, if I don’t sell it, my income will get lower and lower every year, I will pay a lot of taxes, and I will go bankrupt sooner or later.
As for the ambition to make Zmailman warehousing achieve glory? Sorry, this third-generation man is addicted to art and has long since passed away.
In fact, Gu Qing also understands this rich third generation. After all, the entire European market is not doing well. There are no opportunities to plunder global resources like in the last century. Pirates and hunters are much less capable of self-reliance and farming production, at least. Compared to the Chinese race, this is true.
It is not a big problem to acquire this company. After all, Daxia has invested in and purchased many industries in Germany.
For example, in 2016, Medi spent 4.6 billion euros to acquire approximately 86% of the equity of KUKA (robots). In 2016 and 2015, Daxia Chemical acquired 100% equity of KraussMaffei (Industrial Machinery) for 925 million euros. In 2013, Weichai Power acquired 32% of Kion Group (Kion, forklift) and 90% of Linde Company (hydraulics) for 1.167 billion. In 2013, Chint Group merged with Conergy (solar panels)...
When Gu Qing saw this long list of information, he was impressed, so he didn't have much pressure to acquire this small company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
After all, the value of this Zmailman warehousing company is its land, factory buildings and employees. As for what patented technology?
Old technologies such as wood drying and maintenance and warehouse pest control are simply not in the eyes of the government.
It is very relaxing to sit in the car and read information and browse exotic scenery from time to time.
But not long after, the phone rang.
"Hello."
"Hello Mr. Gu, this is the dedicated hotline of Schultz Law Firm. I am the lawyer serving you, Thors Schneider." Some stiff English came from the other end of the phone.
The image of a middle-aged man with a beard and a serious face on the phone immediately appeared in Gu Qing's mind.
"Hello, Lawyer Schneider, I am Gu Qing."
"Mr. Gu, I have been waiting at the agreed place. Please remember to bring your ID. I will serve you wholeheartedly after signing the relevant agreement." Torsi said in an orderly manner.
Gu Qing naturally agreed and then hung up the phone.
Schultz Law Firm was recommended by Xia Wei, a relevant person in the company, and of course Gu Qing also checked the information.
Schutze, which means debt collector in German (Schultheiß, Schuldheiß), is a well-established German law firm.
