Chapter 43: Dispute Over Agency Fees

  Seeking sponsorship...

  With the lessons of his past life, Sun Zesheng preferred to take control into his own hands. That's why he didn't take the initiative to speak up. If he had asked earlier, it would have seemed too eager, and in the subsequent negotiations, he would be at a disadvantage.

  Of course, if the negotiation process and results are not in Sun Zesheng's favor, he can completely refuse to cooperate with the company represented by Liu Chuan. In Yanjing, there are many similar institutions that can handle company registration on his behalf, and finding another one is not a difficult task.

  Sun Zesheng didn't want to waste too much time on this matter. He had already cooperated with Liu Chuan Ye once, and the two sides were somewhat familiar with each other. If they changed people again, there would be another process of getting familiar with each other, which would be a waste of time and energy.

  Just like he found Yuki Kawamura to register the company, it must be that he didn't come himself, which can save money. But if he did it himself, it would take up a lot of his time, and in the process of registering the company, there may be situations where he had to make multiple trips because he was not familiar with certain links, which is troublesome and inefficient.

  At that time, Sun Zesheng still wanted to think about how to make more money or how to establish connections with officials. Both of these things were much more important than spending his time and energy on company registration.

  Facing Liu Chuan Ye's eagerness, Sun Ze Sheng nodded, "Not bad, I indeed have this idea. You don't need to introduce your company's business capabilities in this regard, just tell me about your charging method. This is what I'm most interested in."

  The first time Sun Zesheng met Liu Chuan Ye, he used Tianji Star 3000 to infiltrate the server of the company represented by Liu Chuan Ye and conducted a thorough investigation, gaining a considerable understanding of his opponent.

  The company where Liu Chuan Ye is located is indeed very powerful and has had many successful cases, which is also the most important reason why Sun Ze Sheng is willing to continue letting Liu Chuan Ye be his agent.

  "Mr. Sun, in my judgment, since you purchased a ready-made company in Hong Kong, it should be to enjoy the preferential policies for foreign-invested enterprises at home."

  "If you are registering a company domestically, there are only two possibilities. One is to register as a subsidiary of Future Glory International Industrial Co., Ltd., and the other is to register as a branch of Future Glory International Industrial Co., Ltd. May I ask which one it is?"

  When Ryūkawa Yūichi talks about business, he becomes extremely serious and never cracks a smile. Sun Zesheng really likes his attitude of being dedicated to his work.

  "I want to register a wholly-owned subsidiary of Future Glory International Industrial Co., Ltd. Tell me about your company's charging standards." Sun Zesheng asked.

  Mr. Liu said, "It depends on what type of company Mr. Sun wants to register. Different types have different fees. Specifically, trading companies are 12,000 yuan, storage and consulting companies are 10,000 yuan, and production companies are up to 20,000 yuan."

  "Is all the expenses coming down?" Sun Zesheng asked.

  "Mr. Sun, what kind of joke is this? The price I quoted is just the agency fee we charge, and apart from the agency fee, you will also need to pay separately for various fees required in each link of the process of registering a foreign-funded enterprise on your behalf."

  These costs mainly include government administrative fees, audit firm's verification fees and translation fees.

  I can simply introduce you to these costs, such as government administrative fees, mainly including the following items:

  Name approval: 200; Approval certificate: 100; Business registration fee, this item is eight thousandths of the registered capital; Company seal and other various seals: 500; Announcement fee: 4000.

  There are also enterprise codes, tax registration, customs registration, foreign exchange registration, foreign exchange IC cards and so on, which are basically all charged.

  For specific charges, we have a detailed table here. You can directly go to the relevant government departments for verification and you will find that we are sincere in treating every customer fairly, without overcharging a single penny.

  The audit fee of an accounting firm is directly related to the amount of registered capital. If it's equivalent to one million RMB, it's about 2,500 yuan.

  Also, there is a translation fee. If you submit foreign language application materials, you will need to pay this fee."

  Sun Zesheng furrowed his brow; when he registered a company in his previous life, it wasn't this troublesome.

  At that time, the government emphasized a service-oriented government, and many unnecessary links were cut off. Often, submitting one application material could go through all departments, and then just wait to pick up the business license.

  It's never been like this before, it seems like every department can just come over and throw their weight around.

  Sun Zesheng felt that he had found the right person to register his company. If he had done it himself, he would have been exhausted to death. However, the price quoted by Liu Chuan Ye was a bit too high, and this kid must be playing some tricks in between.

  Before Sun Zesheng could speak, Song Jiayi said: "From what I know, in Yanjing, finding an agency to register a foreign-funded enterprise on your behalf, the agency fee shouldn't be that high. I remember it's only around 7,000 yuan, right?"

  "Big sister, what you're saying is outdated. Nowadays, everything is rising in price, the housing prices at Wudaokou are almost reaching 100,000 yuan per square meter. If we don't follow suit with a reasonable price increase, we'll be left behind. Don't worry, I've reported realistic prices to Mr. Sun, no exaggeration whatsoever."

  Song Jia-yi said: "The 7,000 yuan I mentioned wasn't a long time ago either. It was just the year before last, when I went with a friend to find an agency."

  "Sister, you also said it was a good year before last, didn't you? It's already been three years. Three years may seem short, but from the time Qin Er Shi usurped the throne to the fall of the Great Qin Empire, it was also just three years." Liu Chuan Ye said.

  "Three years is a long time for many things to happen, but the agency fees didn't rise like yours. Mr. Sun, I know an agency that charges much more reasonably than them, would you like me to take you there?" Song Jiayi said proactively.

  Sun Zesheng secretly gave a thumbs up, thinking to himself, "Song Dajie, good job! You're really worthy of being the first employee I recruited. Your speed in getting into character is just too fast, and you've gotten into it perfectly."

  "Hey, big sister, we can't do it this way. If Mr. Sun thinks it's not suitable, can we discuss it again? Alright, I'll take charge and give you a 10% discount. As for the commission I should get from this deal, I'll waive it. What do you think, Mr. Sun?"
