――――――

"Paying taxes is the duty of every Japanese citizen."

Hattori said slowly.

"So, Mr. Hayashihiko, you, as a Japanese citizen, should also comply. Given the benefits you made of the Space Invaders arcade game. I will follow up on your income so that you can pay your taxes. ”

As he spoke, Hattori took out another leather-shelled notebook, he looked at the notebook and said, "On April 9th, Mr. Hayashi Hiko, the arcade game "Space Invaders" you made, was placed outside the Amano Electric Store the next day. It starts at 7 o'clock in the morning and ends at 8 o'clock in the evening. A total of 556 people played the game. Based on 500 yen per person, the total income is 278,000 yen. ”

"April 10th, that is, today. Until 4 p.m. A total of 457 people played the game, and the total income was 228,500 yen. ”

"Not counting you for the time being, the "Space Invaders" arcade game, the first day of trial operation income. The total income for the second and third days was 506,500 yen. ”

"Since your arcade machine is not considered a corporate act, it is levied according to personal income tax. According to the 1974 Individual Income Tax Act, 10% of the tax required for those under 600,000 yuan. Please, with me and the section chief of Honda, now go and settle today's income. Let's start by paying the taxes you need to pay now. ”

Although Hattori's words didn't have much emotion, his tone was kind.

Lin Yan also understood what he meant, that is, he wanted money to die. He glanced at his father, and when he saw him nodding at him, he said with interest, "Then let's go together." ”

Hearing this, Hattori took out a brown paper pocket and poured all the neat coins and banknotes in Lin Yan's drawer.

Lin Yan frowned when he saw it, he made such a mess, he had to spend time tidying up again.

Lin Yan walked in front, and the two black-clothed men of the National Tax Department, like bodyguards, protected him from the left and the right. Lin Yan asked on the way, "How do you know what I earn in one day?" ”

Hattori, a section member, replied, "On April 8, the head of the Honda section came to Akihabara to buy electrical appliances and saw this machine. After some inquiry, I learned that this was your item. So, the next day, the section chief sent me to record the earnings. Right there. ”

Hattori said, pointing to the telephone pole across the arcade. "Right here, I was here yesterday and this morning."

Lin Yan looked in the direction of the telephone pole, at this moment, under the telephone pole, there was also a person standing, he looked younger than Hattori.

He was tiptoeing, looking in the direction of the arcade machine, writing something in his notebook.

He saw the head of the Honda section and the staff of the Hattori department coming over, and he wanted to salute, but he was worried that his behavior would affect the record. Therefore, he was about to lower his head and bend over, but he stopped him abruptly, and then stood on his tiptoes again.

Since Lin Yan didn't bring his little red bucket, he borrowed a bucket filled with water and wiped glass from Amano. Lin looked at the slippery mud at the bottom of the barrel and frowned, but the two black-clothed people of the national tax were on the side, and he couldn't wash the barrel, so he had to collect the coins like this.

Squeezing through the crowd surrounding the arcade, Lin Yan struggled to open the side cover of the arcade, and the coins in my coin box poured into the barrel.

I don't know if Boss Amano has something to do today, or what, but he's not in the store. However, fortunately, in the past two days, Lin Yan and the guys in the store have become familiar with each other, so they can lend such a bucket.

The bucket full of coins was a little heavy, and Lin Yan walked out with it in both hands.

"Where are we going?" Lin Yan looked at the half-full bucket and said.

"Follow me." Said the section chief of Honda.

Pulling the car door, Lin Yan entered an inconspicuous van on the side of the road.

Lin Yan looked at the van and thought in his heart. Japanese civil servants are really miserable, and they don't drive luxury cars. It's just a loaf of bread. This kind of bread, in Lin Yan's imagination, should be the kind of underworld forces fighting, and more than a dozen men with watermelon knives came up from above.

However, he thought about it. I slapped myself on the head. Is it funny with a brain show, or is it a brain watt. This is 1980. The automobile industry is not advanced enough, maybe this is a luxury bread.

Because Lin Yan disliked the sludge and dirt in this bucket, he said a set of arguments that the Honda section chief and the Hattori section staff could not refute.

He said that for the sake of fairness and to prevent me from cheating, a few coins. So, the work of counting the coins will be left to the two of you.

So, the two men in black from the National Tax Agency counted the coins one by one.

In fact, counting coins is actually quite a headache. If you don't have a good memory, you will always forget the number of coins.

Fortunately, these two people from the Investigation Division of the National Tax Agency are quite sensitive to numbers. And it didn't happen, halfway through the count, I forgot how many were in front. The embarrassing situation of having to start counting again.

After counting the coins, there were 483 coins, or 241,500 dollars. Combined with the coins and banknotes in the brown paper bag, there were 631,500 yuan in total.

Income up to 600,000 yen is taxed at a rate of 10 percent. The portion exceeding 600,000 and less than 1,200,000 is levied at a rate of 12 percent.

Therefore, Lin Yan had to pay a total of 63,780 taxes and fees.

Lin Yan didn't care that the coins in the bucket were dirty, he quickly counted out one hundred and twenty-eight, sixty-four thousand yen coins and said, "No need to look for it." ”

The Hattori clerk counted out eight coins and returned them to Hayashi.

"Today, we will first collect the tax at 600,000 yen. Because your product is a new type, we would like you to pay your taxes at the National Tax Service every week. ”

The staff of the Hattori will collect the money. returned the kraft paper bag containing the money to Lin Yan.

"I'm a good law-abiding citizen." Lin Yan said when he took the tax receipt.

He endured the discomfort of the dirty bucket, put the remaining coins on the ground back into the bucket one by one, then opened the van door and left the van.

In his pocket, there was another business card of the Hattori clerk, which had just been handed to him by the Hattori clerk, saying that if Lin Yan had any questions, he could go to him at any time.

Lin Yan, who paid the tax, was actually not very happy in his heart. Why do you come to ask for money for the machine I worked so hard to make?

Sure enough, the state apparatus is the biggest gangster. It is the duty of the citizens of the country to collect protection money.

Lin Yan thought as he walked, before he entered Amano Electric Store, he saw Yamazaki Kikuya who was betting with his father.

He was wandering around the periphery of the arcade......
