On the evening of June 20, Gree Electric released the “Phase 1 Employee Stock Ownership Plan (Draft)”. This announcement shows that the total number of employees participating in Gree’s employee stock ownership plan does not exceed 12,000, involving company executives, middle-level cadres and employees in key positions. It is the largest employee stock ownership plan in Gree’s history. According to Gree’s plan , There will be several rounds of shareholding plans in the future.

The source of the shares held by the plan is the shares that have been repurchased in the special repurchase account of Gree, and the size of the shares does not exceed 108,365,800 shares. Moreover, employees participating in the shareholding plan will subscribe for shares at a price of 27.68 yuan per share. If calculated according to Gree Electric’s closing price of 53.68 yuan per share on June 18, the employee’s share price is about 51.56% of the current closing price.

This means that Gree employees participating in this shareholding plan can buy shares at half price. However, with the introduction of this plan, some people have also questioned this. In addition to the ups and downs of Gree during this period, Miss Dong is in What are the calculations?

Gree Electric, keen to give employees “benefits”

A few days ago, Dong Mingzhu announced that the first batch of 3,700 houses in the “Gree Pearl Plaza” in Zhuhai will soon be delivered. For a time, Gree was in the limelight. The news that “Gree wants to divide the house” was reported by major media, and many people believed that Dong Mingzhu did what he said.

In fact, as early as 2018, Dong Mingzhu publicly stated: “Gree will provide 80,000 employees with two bedrooms and one living room. As long as employees work until they retire, they don’t have to worry about housing prices.” At that time, the Zhuhai municipal government encouraged Gree Electric Appliances. , Promised to provide 10,000 sets of housing land.

In February of this year, Dong Mingzhu said in an interview with the media that Gree will be able to put out 3,700 houses immediately, with one set of scientific research personnel. As long as they can work in Gree until they retire, the house belongs to him. However, Dong Mingzhu also talked about Gree’s house allocation in an interview with the media on June 16th: “I originally wanted to retire and this house will belong to you, but many of our young people said that it has been too long. I can’t give the house now or sell it at half the market price. I finally decided to sell it to them at cost.”

Although there are many restrictions, it is normal. After all, there will be no free pies in the sky. Compared with the division of houses, Gree’s employee shareholding plan this time has received a lot of doubts once it was announced. Among them, the most concerned is Dong Mingzhu’s shareholding ratio.

According to the plan in the plan, Gree Electric’s chairman Dong Mingzhu plans to subscribe for 30 million shares, accounting for 27.68% of the shareholding plan, and plans to invest 830 million yuan. Six executives including Zhang Wei and Zhuang Pei will subscribe for 600,000 shares. The employee supervisor Wang Fawen subscribed for 80,000 shares. As for the remaining 74,685,800 shares, 1,1992 middle-level cadres and core employees plan to invest 2.067 billion yuan to subscribe.

To put it simply, Dong Mingzhu invested 830 million yuan and subscribed for 27% of the shares of this shareholding plan. From the stock price point of view, Dong Mingzhu made a “small profit” of 800 million, and most of the remaining shares were among middle-level cadres. The backbone of the enterprise subscribes. In other words, this employee stock ownership plan and the previous employee housing may be Gree Electric’s intention to “stabilize the military” and want to deeply bundle the company’s core talents by “distributing benefits” to employees. After all, Miss Dong once said: “ Talent is Gree’s greatest wealth.”

Gree’s disintegrating “iron triangle”

From a market perspective, the subscription price of Gree’s employee stock ownership plan is very low. The employee subscription price is only half of the market price, which is obviously unacceptable for investors who buy stocks from the secondary market. . After the announcement, Gree Electric’s share price fell 4.79% at the close of trading on June 21. At the risk of being attacked by the market, Gree Electric will also implement this plan, naturally because of the problem of brain drain. Perhaps the most famous of these is the disintegration of Gree’s “Iron Triangle”. On the evening of February 21, Gree Electric issued an announcement stating that it had received a written resignation report from Director and CEO Huang Hui and resigned from Gree Electric’s director and CEO positions. After Huang Hui resigned, he no longer held any position in Gree. In the three and a half years as the CEO, Huang Hui has been Gree’s second-in-command. Together with Chairman Dong Mingzhu and Chief Financial Officer Wang Jingdong, he was known as the “iron triangle” of Gree Electric. Before Huang Hui, Gree Electric’s director, vice president and secretary of the board Wang Jingdong also resigned from all positions in Gree in August last year due to personal reasons. Regarding the resignation of the two, some people in the industry believe: “The two of them have been in Gree for so many years and have been very loyal to Gree, but now they have left. This means that both Wang and Huang are in agreement with Dong Dong’s current development ideas for Gree. Mingzhu has a disagreement.” Moreover, Huang Hui joined Gree Electric in 1992 and is a senior executive of Gree Electric. The outside world once believed that Huang Hui was expected to succeed Dong Mingzhu as the next head of Gree Electric. In addition to the departure of the two core executives, according to media reports, Gree Electric’s personnel flow is also very large. Gree Electric, where the executives left, is in an eventful period. In the past 2020, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the financial report of Gree, which mainly attacked offline channels, was not very good, and it was precisely because of the impact of the epidemic on offline channels that Gree’s “air-conditioning king” throne was once taken away by Midea. The financial report shows that Gree Electric’s 2020 revenue fell by 14.97% to 170.497 billion yuan, achieving a net profit of 22.175 billion yuan attributable to the parent, a year-on-year decrease of 10.21%. From the perspective of revenue, Gree’s 2020 results are obviously not good. Although Gree has been carrying out transformation and reforms in recent years, many people’s first impression of Gree is still “selling air conditioners.” In a sense, it is true. Gree’s transformation and reform did not help Gree cultivate a high-quality business like air conditioners. According to Gree’s 2020 mid-year report, Gree accounted for the bulk of the air-conditioning business, accounting for nearly 60% of its revenue, and household appliances and smart equipment accounting for 3% and 0.3%, respectively. In the same period, Midea’s air-conditioning revenue accounted for 46%, and consumer appliances accounted for 38%.

Is it good to rely on stocks to win people’s hearts?

The dilemma of Gree Electric Appliances made Dong Mingzhu begin to seek change, and began to reform the sales channels that have not been lost. From the previous offline model, to the new Gree retail model of “simultaneous online and offline sales and integrated service”. Even if the provincial agency dealers are unwilling, the channel transformation has become an irresistible trend. Dong Mingzhu even went into battle himself and held more than a dozen live broadcasts to bring the goods. However, the low revenue performance in 2020 has also made the requirements of this equity incentive plan aroused by investors. Many investors believe that the incentive conditions this time are too simple, almost equivalent to nothing. Gree has requirements for company-level and personal-level performance in this employee stock ownership plan. As for employees, the individual performance appraisal results are required to reach level B or above in order to get all the shares. The level C can only get 80%, and the shares below the C level cannot get the shares. Gree will also return the corresponding original funds. At the company level, if the company’s performance evaluation fails to meet the standards after the expiration of the second evaluation vesting period, the management committee will make a decision to dispose of it, including canceling or selling stocks at an opportunity. The amount will be limited to the amount of disposal, and the corresponding holders will be refunded. The original capital contribution and the remaining income (if any) are returned to the company. Picture from Canva, ready made It should be noted that Gree’s assessment indicators for this plan are based on 2020 performance as a reference, but according to the financial report, Gree’s revenue in the first quarter of this year was 33.189 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 62.73%. Net profit was 3.443 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 120.98%. If this level can be maintained, the implementation of Gree’s shareholding plan will obviously not be particularly difficult compared to the results of 2020. However, similar to employee housing, Gree employees’ stocks can only be sold after retirement, and they can only enjoy dividends before retirement. For employees, this regulation largely restricts the behavior of employees selling stocks. For investors in the secondary market, it is obviously unacceptable for investors in the secondary market to spend real money to buy stocks in full, and now others only need to spend half of it to buy, and there is almost no risk. The selling restrictions may also be to cater for the emotions of investors. For Gree Electric, this approach of pulling in the backbone of the company may be compelling, but for Gree employees, this subscription is too far away from the perspective of time when the ban is lifted after retirement

Housing market Tax tricks with Interest settlements

Status: 06/17/2021 10:42 a.m.

Financial investors speculate with billions on the German housing market, but hardly pay taxes – thanks to a legal trick. The federal government wanted to close this loophole. But loud monitor – Research won’t come of it.

By Lutz Polanz and Jan Schmitt, WDR

“Behind this house is an American company, the trail of the owners leads via Luxembourg to the Cayman Islands” , tells Coni Pfeiffer, activist and spokeswoman for the # 200Houses network. Tenants from Berlin have come together to defend themselves against the conversion of their apartments into expensive condominiums and the greed of financial corporations. It is similar with the other houses on the opposite side, explains Pfeiffer. Here the trail of investors leads to tax havens such as Gibraltar or the Virgin Islands. The Berlin real estate market has long since become an Eldorado for major investors who want to remain anonymous. The official owners are companies with names such as Magenta Properties S.à.rl or Berlin Project-1 Property III S.à.rl The names often conceal complex corporate structures with a whole chain of companies. In the end, they lead to well-known tax havens, for example in the Caribbean.

Interest trick to save taxes

The elaborate company structures apparently also serve to avoid paying taxes to the German tax authorities. A completely legal interest trick helps the companies: The parent companies lend money to their subsidiaries who own the houses and land in Germany. In return, they charge them high internal interest rates – much higher than they would otherwise have to pay at banks. The interest payments of the subsidiaries reduce the profit in Germany and thus the taxes that would have to be paid here.

“The profits go to countries in which no tax is levied on interest income”, explains Gerhard Schick, board member of “Citizens’ Movement Finanzwende”. “Thanks to these high interest payments, it is practically possible to push the income abroad, so that in Germany you can tell the tax office that we have actually not earned any money, but that the profit is generated abroad.”

Billions are being lost to the Treasury

“Every year the German state loses five to seven billion euros as a result of the interest rate trick”, adds Christoph Trautvetter from “Network tax justice”.

So far, the tax authorities have been able to do next to nothing about it. There is no corresponding legal regulation. Specialists have been calling for them for years, for example Manfred Naumann, an expert in international tax law and head of department in the Federal Ministry of Finance for many years: “I am frustrated that the legislature and the Federal Ministry of Finance are unable to find such a regulation”, said Naumann in an interview with the ARD -Magazine monitor . For him the state wears one “complicity” because financial resources run into the billions “flow untaxed”. Proposals for such a regulation have long been on the table. Accordingly, the interest rate would always be used as a benchmark at which a group can borrow money from the bank. Demanding higher interest rates internally would only be possible if the group can justify it well. That would be a kind of reversal of the burden of proof, which experts believe would prevent a large part of the tax damage.

Paragraph disappeared

The Federal Ministry of Finance under Olaf Scholz (SPD) had proposed precisely such a new regulation in a draft law. But the CDU / CSU parliamentary group intervened and the corresponding passage was deleted from the draft. The Federal Council then made a new attempt to resume the regulation. But this was also thrown out at the instigation of the Union.

“Braking measures against money laundering, aggressive tax avoidance and tax evasion by the CDU / CSU has a long tradition”, criticizes Sven Giegold from the Greens in the European Parliament. However, he is also surprised that the SPD did not protest against it.

The Union faction wanted to get up monitor -Do not answer the request. The Federal Ministry of Finance, led by Scholz, is now apparently at a distance from its original approach. Corresponding changes “should ideally be coordinated internationally”, it says in a response from the ministry to a request from monitor .

Now the match ball lies with the Federal Council. He wants to decide at the end of June whether to call the mediation committee or wave the law through with the loophole

To travel to a place, in addition to enjoying the beautiful natural scenery and tasting authentic specialties, you must also understand the local ethnic culture. There are two most effective ways to understand the culture of a place. One is to go Local museums can efficiently understand the local culture through graphics, video, physical objects and other systems; the other is to go to the local to watch a wonderful performance. Going to the museum is because the local culture and history experts have systematically sorted out the local culture, so it is simple and efficient to understand; while going to the performance, it is through the way that the audience can accept, while enjoying the visual feast, unknowingly Have a general understanding of the local culture in a way that you like to hear and hear. The difference between the two is that museums are relatively boring and need to be actively understood. The advantages are also obvious, that is, the cost is low, and even many museums don’t even need tickets; and the wonderful cultural performances are also carefully selected by the artists. The design is to arrange all local history, culture, customs, and important figures. The audience only needs to sit there and enjoy the visual feast presented by the actors. It is more entertaining and viewing than the museum, and it can also shoot beautiful blockbusters. , So it is also deeply loved by people. It is for this reason that whenever I go to a city, as long as I have time and conditions, I will go to local museums and watch local live performances. This is undoubtedly a great help for understanding a city. Let us The shared articles are also more readable. During the self-driving trips in Sanjiang, Liuzhou, in addition to visiting the major Dong villages, we also visited the Sanjiang Dong Museum and Sanjiang Dong Painting Museum. We also went to the famous Dongxiang Bird’s Nest to enjoy a wonderful Dong ethnic customs. Live performance-“Sit Sister”. Before I went to Sanjiang, a friend recommended to me “Sit Sister”. He said that this is China’s first large-scale live performance with Dong style as the theme. I have seen some Dong people before during the Dong Year in Liping, Guizhou. Singing and dancing performances, but at the time I always felt uncomfortable, so as soon as a friend recommended, I included “Sit Sister” into our schedule. The drama “Seating Girl” was the first night we went to Sanjiang. It skillfully combined the rich traditional cultural elements of the Dong people in Sanjiang area (such as architectural culture, farming culture, costume culture, Yege culture, Sheng dance culture). , Wedding custom culture, etc.) combined with the top domestic stage art and modern sound and light technology to form a gorgeous real-life drama. At the performance site, the majestic 360-degree circular stage, the majestic and solemn Drum Tower of Dong Township, the mysterious and colorful stilts, the misty waterfall, the sparkling Crescent River, the primitive and simple waterwheel, the picturesque and picturesque Drum Tower Singing and dancing, handsome boys, as well as girls with clever hands, golden voices and jade throats, dressed in colorful costumes, and beautiful as fairies, accompanied by colorful lights and giant LED ladder videos. The folk music and the tender folk dance form a beautiful and passionate dream world, which made the audience and friends full of praise and awe. Among them, the most striking is that “Sit Girl” can travel through time and space without losing its charm. It condenses the original and colorful traditional marriage and love customs of the Dong people on the stage. “Sit Sister”, the fourth watch “The Joy of Breaking Dawn”. On the gorgeous stage, the lights constantly change into various scenes, the charming Dong Village, the tall drum tower, the joyful dance melody, plus different color combinations, blue gives people the tranquility of the night, and the warm red attracts people. People’s reveries, coupled with some emotional brewing, can be described as climaxes and exciting. Many friends may be curious about the concept of sitting sister, why is it called sitting sister? I didn’t understand it at first, so I consulted with local friends. They said that “sitting sister” means “sitting with sister”. It is a unique way for young men and women of the Dong ethnic group to talk about love. Different Dong villages have the sayings of playing in the mountains, walking in the village, and walking the girl. Anyway, you can understand it as falling in love. The whole performance, from walking girls, making trouble with girls, sitting on girls, to the joy of breaking dawn, is step by step, interlocking, and wonderful. Among them, walking girls is the beginning of marriage, and making girls is a kind of entertainment, but also It is a way of courtship, that is, a young man of the Dong nationality goes to sing, chat or play with a certain girl who is waiting for their arrival in groups of embroidered weaving. This is a very happy scene. After making trouble with girls is Zuomei, which is one of the core content of the same name in the performance of “Zaomei”. Zuomei is a further sublimation on the basis of making girls. They cultivate feelings through brotherhood, chatting, and playing games. When a man and woman are in love with each other, they quietly leave the group and go to the village or the field to talk to each other about their love, sitting on a stool with a stool, and sitting on Amei’s lap without a stool (pictured above). The joy of dawn is a Dong wedding ceremony performed by Dong young men and women after their passionate love. The beautiful bride wears noble silver ornaments and gorgeous costumes. At the moment when the sun rises, she reluctantly bids farewell to raising her parents, holding The bridegroom’s hand was accompanied by the best man and bridesmaid to the bridegroom’s house. The next day was a lively and vigorous wedding ceremony. “The Sitting Girl” is worthy of being a large-scale live performance of the Dong nationality with traditional and folk customs. And when we were watching the performance that day, there was a drizzle in the sky, and the stage in the middle of the Dongxiang Bird’s Nest was open-air. These actors actually performed under the rain, but they still showed us a splendid vision. The feast is really touched. If you travel to Sanjiang, I recommend you to visit it.

Miss Myanmar Peace Han Lay is staying in Thailand after a speech calling for the world to support her people.

The cultural and artistic life is paralyzed. The shadow from the political crisis still lies in the country of these golden towers.

Artists spread the message everywhere

Myanmar is still sinking in days of political instability, a series of areas severely affected, including culture and arts.

All over the newspapers, Burmese artists and celebrities do not appear in splendid costumes, lavish lights or on majestic films, expensive music videos … Thousands of artists fall in. unemployed or having to be lost in foreign countries. Many people took to the streets to call for peace.

CNN said actress Paing Phyo Thu, one of Myanmar’s highest-paid stars, declared to go to the streets to protest against the authorities. She is not even afraid to withdraw her budget to support those who have to quit their jobs to join the protest. Currently, her husband, director Na Gyi, is also running away after being listed as a wanted.

“We want the audience to know that we are always there for them. Knowing that speaking out like this is very dangerous, we have no way back now. We will fight to the end. Whether or not the order has been issued or not, as long as I am alive, I will oppose the military government that is bullying and killing the people, ”said Paing Phyo Thu.

Actress Phyoe Thu regularly participates in marches in Yangon city after the political upheaval took place

Currently, many artists and celebrities have to leave their families to avoid being wanted from the authorities such as: Actor Payeti Oo, director Ko Pauk, actor Lu Min, director Wine, singer Anatga …

The case of Miss Myanmar Peace Han Lay is an example. On the stage of the world level competition, Han Lay made practical calls for the international community to pay attention to the instability problem in his homeland and join hands to help them through the dark period.

A few days later, she was immediately put on the wanted list. Luckily, 9x is supported by the Head of the contest BTC for the cost and job opportunity in Thailand. However, Han Lay still does not stop worrying about relatives back home.

Even worse, many artists were arrested by the military, currently unknown whereabouts. Famous model and actress Paing Takhon was arrested on April 8 for speaking out against the coup. Takhon’s sister told Reuters news agency that the military arrested her brother at 4:30 a.m. at their parents’ home in Yangon. Security forces dispatched eight military trucks and about 50 soldiers to arrest Takhon, not sure where to take the actor. Before that, on April 6, the country’s most famous comedian, Zarganar, was also arrested.

Composing inspiration opposed the coup

Actor Paing Takhon was arrested by the authorities

The news website Coda Story said that while many artists and people took to the streets to call for an end to the violence, the wave of protests still crept through art products, especially music.

A series of rappers day and night produce songs that protest against the coup. “Dozens of tracks by hip-hop artists living in Myanmar and abroad have been uploaded to social media platforms and streaming sites, including Facebook, YouTube and Soundcloud. Music marks a new front in the ongoing information war against the military authorities, ”commented writer Burhan Wazir.

One of the most famous works is “End Game” by Nay Ye Khant, Adjustor, Yung Hugo, GRACEe, D-Vision, Young Yair and EilliE. The work currently has more than 200,000 views on YouTube. The song depicts the current persecution of Myanmar’s dictatorship – the country’s third stage of military rule since its independence from Britain in 1948 – as a war for freedom and democracy. .

Coda Story expressed appreciation for this form of calling. Because, for many years, hip-hop rap has been at the forefront of rallies around the globe. In the US, “Black Lives Matter” has called on dozens of MCs, including Run The Jewels, Meek Mill and Ty Dolla Sign, to release songs highlighting police brutality, racism and inequality. .

In another development, British rappers responded to the knife crime crisis in their own country. Artists in Hong Kong have expressed their support for the pro-democracy movement.
