Chapter 366: Good Show (I)

Whether it was Lee Jae-bin or Lee Jae-hyun, the first reaction of the Blue House was to send a prosecutor to investigate the tax. In fact, they guessed correctly, after the dinner party the night before, the prosecutor who checked the tax went to CUBE to put a seal on it and move the box the next morning!

Actually, this is not to say that the two brothers are clever or anything, but as the children of old chaebols, they are very familiar with the methods between the government and businessmen...... The so-called tax audit is almost the first reaction and the only means of the administrative organs in power when they are faced with dishonest or too honest businessmen.

The specific reason is that there is no need to say anything more, and people with a little social experience all over the world understand: for enterprises, even if they do not want to maliciously evade taxes, they must also carry out reasonable tax avoidance in order to make profits, and for the government, whether those reasonable tax avoidance methods are reasonable or not, the right to decide is always on the government's side.

In other words, when the government recognizes your company, it can be reasonable if it is unreasonable to avoid taxes, and when the government wants to trouble you, what is reasonable can also become unreasonable. You don't see, many multinational companies really go smoothly when they first come to invest in a country, but once they have a conflict with the government, if they want to rectify you, how many fines are justified.

So on the other hand, is this kind of behavior of the government a typical two-facedness?

Be.

Is that reprehensible?

No.

Why?

Because government agencies and commercial institutions are never morally responsible, the former pursues order first and the latter pursues the first priority of entrepreneurs. Well, if you look at it this way, it seems that the company deserves to be played again...... And this is the difficulty of administration, who knows if a certain law enforcement act of the government is for the sake of the people?

Of course, this kind of in-depth discussion seems pointless at this point. Back in front of him, when Kim Jong-ming saw the prosecutors who were checking the accounts, he was actually quite relaxed, because after all, the other party only came to check the accounts of the company in the cultural industry of Cube, and they were all checking things such as tax rebates and subsidies exported by Hallyu. And many other companies under Kim Jong-ming, whether it is Busan Taobao or mobile banking, or theaters, film production, TV stations, and even record distribution and music source websites, have not been touched...... This shows that the other side has maintained its sanity after all, or rather, under the special economic model of South Korea, the Blue House has to remain sane.

In a sense, Kim Jong-ming is very curious, if after checking taxes and imposing a fine, he still has to show his 'backbone as a cultural person' by stalking his neck, then what means can the other party have?

"South Korea's law enforcement agencies have become tools for political revenge by the elites?"

In the TV screen, Jin Zhongming was repeating the reporter's previous question to the camera with a serious face, and around him was a large number of uniformed personnel coming and going, and several tax prosecutors simply stood behind him with their backs, and they didn't have to think about it to know what the expressions of these people were. "I don't think so! Although I just offended the chief cultural officer of the Blue House yesterday and today my own cultural industry will be audited, I still don't think there is any inevitable relationship between the two! Because I don't think that the procuratorial organ on which our country relies as the last fundamental one will become a lackey of power...... I believe this is just a matter of chance, as we all know, the foreign policy of South Korea's cultural industry changes frequently, and it may be that it is indeed our negligence that has caused some taxes to not be paid......!

The picture was slightly deflected, and the news reporters from JTBC TV and MBC TV who were holding the microphone nodded again and again, looking like we can really understand your difficulties...... That's right, at this time, you ask the people from KBS TV to come over, and they don't dare to come?

"Mr. Jin Zhongming, putting aside the issue of tax inspection for the time being, do you know that a newspaper broke the news this morning that you were taking drugs?" Finally, when Jin Zhongming finished his tax defense, the news reporter of JTBC TV suddenly took the initiative to speak again, and asked a question that caught the people around him off guard.

"Already...... Is it shameless to this extent?" Kim Jong-ming looked stunned. "I don't need you to say it this time, I think it's Cha Enze's doing, because I can't imagine anyone else else doing this except this deflated three! It should have something to do with last night's incident, right?"

"That's true, they said that when you came to the stage last night to reprimand the chief of the Blue House Kim Sang-ryul and his nephew, you inadvertently sniffed many times, which should be a typical drug addict's reaction. JTBC looked puzzled. "The newspaper even invited a criminal investigation expert to analyze the video at that time, saying that you do seem to have symptoms of drug abuse, do you have anything to defend against this?"

"Is that what they say?" Kim Jong-ming sniffed casually. "Is this a lot like taking drugs?"

"We don't know about that. The reporter laughed dryly.

"Thank you for your affirmation. Jin Zhongming in the camera smiled slightly, continued to answer calmly, and pointed to the many discarded instruments around him. "As you can see, I'm actually making a movie about a second-generation chaebol who is addicted to drugs and abuses dogs. And in order to find a sense of performance, I did put some thought into portraying such an image of a crazy drug addict. But I also have to admit that I have been a little overly involved lately, you look at my hands...... It's not good yet, I guess I'll have to be wrapped in gauze until the end of filming, and that's the result of my first scene...... However, I just don't know when this audit will end, and as you can see, our film happened to be borrowing the CUBE company building as the main set recently, so for every day they are delayed here, our crew will lose millions of won, and the company will not be able to work...... I don't have any idea, if they can even splash dirty water like drugs, then don't be surprised if you see the news of my dog abuse tomorrow...... There is no change in position, just as I will unconditionally support the actions of law enforcement with the consciousness of a citizen, I will still confront the pair of deflated uncles and nephews to the end with the consciousness of a backward in the cultural world...... Never give in!"

"Finally, let's conclude the statement!" the MBC reporter finally seized the opportunity to interject.

"How so...... Let's see who is in the world of today's domain?" Jin Zhongming turned slightly to point at the camera. "I actually want to ask the president, do you really just care about these deflated people who have ruined your reputation?"

The aunt laughed angrily, and immediately pressed the remote control to turn off the TV in the office: "This "Asking for Wu's Tree" is memorized, does it really treat me as Wu Zetian? But will Wu Zetian be like me?!"

In the office, a group of officials in suits and leather shoes stood with their hands tied, but none of them took the initiative to answer.

"Speak!" Auntie laughed angrily for the second time. "What's going on? What is the deal with drug abuse, who came up with such creative news? Is there really news about dog abuse next? Also, why are there TV reporters waiting for a TV reporter at the scene of the tax prosecutor's surprise inspection? Who is the wind? And last night, how could he not find out until he turned his face? Why didn't you speak one by one? Why was the Blue House taken away by a businessman in the position of public opinion?!"

The more the aunt spoke, the more angry she became, and just listening to the voice, she thought that she was going to drop something next! Of course, this person still has the bearing, and Rao is still sitting still like this, but those assistants and secretaries began to become more and more uneasy.

"Chief Ann. Auntie suddenly called someone's name. "Why did you leave directly last night? Stay and help Chief Jin control the situation, there may not be an accident, right?"

Ahn Jong-beom paused for a moment, then shook his head, but did not speak, it was Kim Sang-yu who spoke.

"President, I don't think it really mattered last night. Jin Shangyu replied cautiously. "Jin Zhongming obviously came prepared, he had already made up his mind, and he couldn't hide from it......"

Auntie looked at her newly appointed cultural chief and couldn't help but smile: "So, are we just caught off guard? Chief Jin, I'll leave things to you now, can you stabilize things?"

Kim Sang-yu shook his head again and again.

"What's going on?" said Auntie, mockingly.

"President. Zheng Hucheng stepped forward and said. "With all due respect, although it may have been true that it was just a surprise at the beginning, now that the other side has established the direction of public opinion with this wave of unexpected public opinion offensive, if you want to make changes, you can't just rely on tactical changes, at least start from a deeper level. ”

"Not really, right?" asked the aunt with a frown. "The little hairy child is just tossing and happy, and it really hurts his muscles and bones?"

"President. Another person stepped forward and stood with his hands tied, and it was An Zhongfan, who had not spoken before. "The current situation is that we have fallen into a complete moral disadvantage, and even the media, which is biased towards us, can only keep silent......"

"What do you mean?" Auntie's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

An Zhongfan's small eyes shrank slightly, and he didn't say anything more.

"What do you mean that we have fallen into a complete moral disadvantage? Are you saying that my appointment of director Cha Eun-taek and chief Kim Sang-yul has aroused public outrage?" asked the aunt reluctantly. "What is the media that is inclined to us? Shouldn't the media naturally listen to our Blue House?"

Ahn Jong-beom's face turned pale and he didn't say a word, while Kim Sang-yu peeked at the seniors in the secretary's office, the leading figures in the economic world, and then kept his mouth shut.

"Why don't you speak?" said the aunt laughed angrily. "I guess, do you people think that as long as Jin Zhongming does not fall, Secretary General Jin Qichun will have no face to return, so one by one you are careful and unwilling to do things?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the office changed abruptly, but some people turned red, as if they were resentful, and some people were pale, and their faces were full of weakness.

"President. At this time, Zheng Hucheng, as the most confidant, finally spoke helplessly. "It's not the time to talk about these old things, even the MBC reporters are gone, which means that we have at least lost control of that station again. Even one of the three major television stations is out of control, so how can any media follow our instructions? Besides, we have always been able to monitor social networks, ......

"You go!" the aunt interrupted with a dark face. "You go and talk to Kim Jong Kook in person, if MBC dares to follow up on this news again, he won't think about going any further in his life!"

Zheng Hucheng was dumbfounded, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word, so he could only turn around and leave silently...... Without him, this henchman who has followed the aunt for nearly 20 years has already reacted, he doesn't know how Kim Jongming will end, and he doesn't know if there is an effect on the MBC side, but when he comes back, those colleagues in this office who are not convinced by the aunt's way of using people are probably going to be thrown out of the Blue House by the aunt.

Walking out of the main building, Zheng Hucheng's mood was in turmoil.
