"It's not good that you're always spying on me." Fan Wuxian still expressed some dissatisfaction with Jiang Luo.
Jiang slightly shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you think I'm willing?" As key figures and public figures, you basically have no freedom and nothing to speak of! ”
The work of the Ministry of Security is inseparable from surveillance and covert investigations, including infiltration and espionage, and it is also an internationally recognized practice that some shady and necessary means can be used to achieve the goal for the sake of national security.
Therefore, when Fan Wuxi directly raised this question, Jiang Luo did not have an embarrassed expression at all, but continued to eat with peace of mind, seeing that Fan Wuxi had some itchy teeth, but he couldn't find anything wrong.
In fact, Fan Wuxian also has his own intelligence department and counter-espionage department within the group, but these are mainly set up for commercial espionage, and most of the personnel used are retired staff members of domestic intelligence departments, or some intelligence analysts recruited from abroad, and they are simply unable to cope with government investigations.
And Fan Wuxian never thought that he could get rid of the government's supervision, if he really wanted that, he would be able to exist and develop in China, and only in some Western countries could he enjoy this kind of transcendent treatment.
Of course, when it comes to national issues, even in Western countries, it is impossible to enjoy too much freedom.
Jiang Liuran asked Fan Wuxian another question, "When I came over, Boss Zhu asked you if there was any tax evasion in our company?" Recently, I've been investigating this closely, so don't fall into this hole and get into trouble. ”
"Don't worry about that, we're a model of law-abiding business." Fan replied without hesitation.
In fact, many financial experts of Fan's Investment Group have nothing to do every day to study the relevant legal systems of various countries and then find places worthy of their own attention, in terms of tax issues, Fan's Investment Group is unlikely to violate the current laws, at most within the framework of the policy, find reasonable and legal tax avoidance rules, and then follow this idea to avoid.
This is also the land use method of large international companies. Fan Wuzhi was transplanted from the United States. It's nothing unusual.
The country has just touched the international business system for a short time. I'm not very familiar with these doorways. Therefore, if you do not know much about this aspect of the local tax issue, it is inevitable that you will be worried. That's why Boss Zhu asked Jiang Luo to ask him such a sentence by the way.
"Oh. If only there was no tax evasion. Jiang Luo didn't continue to ask.
So. Fan Wuxian believed that this sentence was indeed just Boss Zhu casually asked Jiang Luo to bring him the land. The goal is nothing more than not to have a similar scandal in Fan's Investment Group, the largest investment group in China.
Come to think of it. Fan Wuxian felt that Boss Zhu was still interesting enough to him. In fact. When this old and young watched the historical drama "Shang Ying" together. A very strange relationship has been established, which everyone can't say clearly.
Take the position of a friend. Remind Fan Wuxian not to make mistakes. It's also reasonable.
But from this sentence, Fan Wuxian can also realize that the adjustment of domestic economic policies is still not in place, and in the case of the relative lack of such policies and regulations, some tightrope walking behaviors are still touched as little as possible, and it is a bit difficult to say that it is not clear when you get it.
And Fan Wuxi suddenly remembered that there was another question, that is, does Shen Ying's company also have this kind of problem?
After all, there are too many low-level marketing links in this kind of liquor production enterprises, and it is really necessary to pay attention to the financial problems.
So Fan Wuxian called Shen Ying and asked her about her recent situation.
Shen Ying's mood is very good, with the help of Fan Wuxi, the Confucius banquet wine she acquired finally gained a firm foothold but stood out from the CCTV standard king war, and persevered in the management link, and the scale of production and operation was adjusted and expanded in a timely manner. It has become the hottest dark horse in the domestic liquor market in recent years.
Hearing Fan Wuxi's question, Shen Ying asked with a smile, "Then do you think there will be a problem with me here?" ”
"I'm telling you seriously, is there a problem?" Fan Wuxian asked with a very serious posture.
Shen Ying listened to Fan Wuxian more seriously, so she replied, "There may be a little problem, the branch may have some mistakes in this regard, but it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" After all, our profits this year continue to grow, and the profit of the previous year has exceeded the threshold of 500 million yuan. ”
Fan Wuxian listened to Shen Ying's answer, and was also slightly taken aback, although the liquor industry is a profiteering industry, but Shen Ying earns 500 million a year, which is still a bit beyond his expectations, it seems that with his help, Shen Ying has finally achieved the sustainable development of the emerging liquor brand.
"But now I'm in a big obstacle." Before Fan Wuxian praised her, Shen Ying continued, "Recently, the promotion in some areas has not been very smooth. ”
"Oh, and what is that for?" Fan Wuxian asked rhetorically.
The strength of CCTV advertising is not small, and the influence of the three standard kings is not small.
However, Shen Ying's next topic came to this reason, "Some places are engaged in local protectionism, which has a great impact on our sales. ”
In order to protect the liquor enterprises in their own areas, some areas actually issued a red-headed document in the name of the municipal government, requiring the enterprises and institutions in the city to use the liquor produced by the city's liquor enterprises in the official liquor, otherwise some punitive measures will be given, such as not to reimburse, or some preferential policies in taxation will be cancelled.
In this way, it is very big for Shen Ying's enterprise, although private sales are hot, but no one dares to set foot in this minefield when it comes to official wine.
After listening to Shen Ying's complaints, Fan Wu was a little speechless, but he also knew very well that this was probably Chinese characteristics.
In the current process of changing from a planned economy to a market economy, local governments are still not able to adapt well to this change, especially some government officials must effectively protect some enterprises in their jurisdictions that are not very competitive in order to achieve political results, and do not use red-headed documents, because these enterprises are afraid that they will have been defeated by a large number of various competitors who have poured in.
However, this kind of practice is actually not in line with the existing laws and regulations, but everyone has been under the planned economic system for a long time, and has long been accustomed to the operation of business rules under government regulations, and may not feel anything wrong for a while, but if you investigate it carefully, in fact, these people will be punished.
So Fan Wuxian said to Shen, "This matter is actually easy to solve, poke the matter of the red-headed document to the media, it is best to go to the focus interview, everything is solved, but you must not interfere in person, just find an agent to poke this matter out." ”
If Shen Ying's exposé this matter, the smell of competition is too strong, and it is easy to cause a backlash from the local government, even if the central government makes a statement, it is difficult to enter the area to sell afterwards, because the officialdom will repay the wrongs, although it cannot be banned from the policy, but just find some other reasons, it can also make your business unable to enter this market.
Fan Wuxian reminded Shen Ying not to go out in person, which was out of this consideration.
"You've got a lot to think about, but I still have to thank you." Shen Ying is very happy with Fan Wuxi's guidance, the Spring Festival sales season is coming soon, if this problem can be solved, his sales can still have a big increase.
"On the issue of taxation, it is very important, and we must figure it out, otherwise we will be very passive in the future." Fan Wuxian finally reminded Shen Ying very solemnly.
"Got it, how did you become so wordy." Shen Ying's mood was more excited at this time, so she said a little angrily.
After putting down the phone, Fan Wuxian thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not good to directly lead to this unfair competition from the liquor industry, and felt that it was too targeted, although there was no direct evidence to show that Confucius Banquet was making a fuss, but who the beneficiary was, everyone could clearly see it, so he felt that this matter could be carefully investigated, and then drawn out from other aspects.
So Fan mobilized his staff and began to investigate similar local protectionist practices in various places, especially the kind of laws and regulations that restrict fair competition among foreign companies through local government bans.
As a result, after such a check, Fan Wuxian felt a little embarrassed.
More than 60 percent of the localities in the country where there are Fan's investment group enterprises have this kind of local protectionism to a greater or lesser extent, and it has also restricted many industries from entering the local market in various aspects, and the impact is too great to estimate.
Fan Wuxian saw that this was such a result, and he had a bottom in his heart, thinking that he could raise this issue with the senior management now, and put an end to this kind of behavior through formal channels.
There are no pop-ups
