一个看似简单的问题由此浮现：在金价持续高位运行的背景 下，本应顺势盈利的黄金商们，为何反而走到了被关门查封的 境地？ 作者：郑晨烨 封图：东方IC 9月15日下午两点，深圳罗湖区，位于田贝四路万山珠宝园6楼的一家名为"君辉"的公司办公室大 门紧闭，工商资料显示这里亦是君豪金业（深圳）有限公司的办公场所，有从业者告诉记者，二者 实为同一家公司。同一时间，位于水贝二路兴龙黄金珠宝大厦6楼的深圳市粤宝鑫贵金属有限公司 办公室大门亦已紧闭。 上述公司紧闭的玻璃门上，都交叉贴着白色的封条，驻守在现场的保安对所有来访者的问题，都只 用三个字回答："不知道。" 写字楼前台工作人员提供的信息要更具体一些："警察两三天前就来了，然后就封了这里。" 几乎就在同时，一场关于"水贝金料商跑路"的讨论，开始在社交媒体上快速发酵：一则"深圳水贝 十几家金料商集体跑路"的消息开始流传，一份包含"君豪""粤宝鑫"在内的"跑路"企业名单被广泛 传播，传闻涉及的资金规模从数千万元到数亿元不等；尽管深圳市黄金珠宝首饰行业协会很快出面 澄清，称传闻"夸大不实"，仅是"个别企业出现问题"，但这并未完全驱散笼罩在市场头顶的疑云。 一个看似简单的问题由此 ...

因此，要厘清这一争辩和判断是否存在税收套利，关键在于判定在餐厅提供的"预制菜"销售属 于"餐饮服务"，还是"销售商品"。 中瑞税务师事务所集团总裁魏斌判断，西贝若是没有专门、单独销售预制菜或半预制菜，其销售的 产品若是经过餐厅自制或者加工后的，应该适用于6%的税率。 尽管这场"预制菜论战"暂告一段落，但其税率适用问题仍有讨 论的空间。 作者：杜涛 封图：图虫创意 9月15日中午，罗永浩在微博上提出了对西贝使用预制菜进行税务套利的质疑。他称："西贝拿预 制菜假装不是预制菜带来的税率差异呢？要不要给公众摊开讲讲?"下午，罗永浩在微博中删除了该 言论。 尽管这场"预制菜论战"暂告一段落，但其税率适用问题仍有讨论的空间。 税收套利一般是指将本该适用于更高税率的产品或服务混入更低税率的产品及服务中申报税。本事 件涉及的税率争辩核心在于："餐饮服务"和"销售商品"适用6%和13%两种不同税率，而预制菜销 售适用13%的税率。 餐饮行业制定6%的税率，还与其行业成本结构有关。魏斌说，餐饮业属于典型的生活服务行业， 人力成本占比较高，如厨师、服务员的薪酬等，这部分成本无法进行进项税额抵扣。同时，餐饮业 采购的农产品等原材料虽 ...

Core Viewpoint - The conflict between Luo Yonghao and Xibei over "pre-made dishes" highlights a significant gap in contemporary business logic and consumer psychology, reflecting consumers' growing concerns about transparency and value perception in the food industry [2][4]. Consumer Concerns - Consumers are increasingly questioning what they are actually paying for when dining out, particularly in establishments that emphasize fresh and authentic ingredients [3][4]. - The expectation of fresh, made-to-order meals is being challenged by the presence of pre-made items, leading to feelings of deception among consumers when they discover frozen or long-shelf-life products [5]. Value Perception - The issue of price versus perceived value is critical; consumers are willing to pay high prices for quality but are frustrated when they feel they are paying for industrial processes rather than culinary craftsmanship [5]. - The core concern is whether consumers are paying for "Xibei's craftsmanship" or "Xibei's efficiency," and they demand clear pricing to make informed choices [5]. Crisis Management - Xibei's public relations response has been criticized as "disastrous," with experts noting that the company's approach escalated the situation rather than calming it [7]. - The initial confrontational response to Luo Yonghao's criticism failed to acknowledge consumer concerns and instead turned the issue into a battle between the company and its customers [7][8]. - The company's attempts to clarify terminology and definitions did not resonate with consumers, who prioritize their experiences over technical correctness [8]. Shift in Strategy - Following the backlash, Xibei appears to be transitioning from a defensive stance to a more reflective approach, indicating a willingness to address consumer concerns and rebuild trust [9]. - Effective crisis management should focus on transparency, humility, and collaboration with consumers rather than legal threats or technical arguments [11][15]. Future Implications - The incident serves as a warning for businesses about the importance of transparency and trust in the digital age, where information asymmetry is diminishing [20][21]. - Companies that integrate transparency into their core strategies and prioritize consumer value are more likely to succeed in the evolving market landscape [21].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the increasing trend of "policy transfer" in the short-term health insurance sector, particularly in the context of slowing growth in new medical insurance policies. Existing customers are becoming a key target for mid-to-high-end medical insurance products, with insurance brokers and platform institutions actively promoting policy transfers [1][4]. Group 1: Policy Transfer Phenomenon - The phenomenon of "policy transfer," common in auto and long-term insurance sales, is now emerging in the short-term health insurance sector [2]. - An example is provided where a client, Ms. Liu, is advised by her insurance broker to transfer her expiring medical insurance policy to a new product, "Zhongminbao," which offers expanded coverage despite a significant increase in premium from several hundred to nearly 2000 yuan [3]. Group 2: Transfer Rules and Conditions - Different insurance products have varying rules for policy transfers. For instance, "Zhongminbao" requires the previous policy to be active and past the waiting period, with a minimum coverage of 150,000 yuan and a maximum deductible of 10,000 yuan [4]. - The transfer process is noted to be more complex than direct purchasing, requiring clients to submit their original policy details and health disclosures, which increases operational costs for insurance companies [4]. Group 3: Changing Consumer Demands - Consumer demand for medical insurance is evolving, with products that cover outpatient medications and special medical services becoming more popular. Products with relaxed health disclosures are particularly attractive to individuals with pre-existing health conditions [5]. - The expansion of coverage responsibilities is leading to increased premiums, and brokers can earn higher commissions by promoting more comprehensive mid-to-high-end medical insurance products [5]. Group 4: Considerations for Consumers - While policy transfers can waive waiting periods, consumers must be cautious about the underwriting process, which may be less convenient if health conditions fall within the inquiry limits. Existing health issues may not be covered under the new policy [5].
