Chapter 568: Sky-high fines
But now they have been caught by the Karachi government!
An official from the Environmental Protection Agency of the Karachi government was sitting in the company's living room, and when Hiroaki Tanimura walked in, his face was full of smiles: "Everyone, you are very welcome to visit our company." That's a little bit of what we mean, Director Clat. ”
In his hand, Hiroaki Tanimura had a bank card with a million dollars in it, enough money to bribe a small environmental chief in a developing country.
What are they here for? Don't you just want to extort a sum of money? I have seen many such scenes in other countries.
Who knows, when Klatt saw this bank card, his face immediately changed: "General Manager Hiroaki Tanimura, you are now suspected of illegally bribing law enforcement officers, and when you get to the court, I will definitely bring up this accusation." ”
Bribe! This crime is a very serious crime in Pakistan, if law enforcement officers accept bribes, in addition to dismissal from public office, they can be sentenced to up to ten years in prison, and Pakistan's officials in charge of building a clean government are everywhere, the year before last, the mayor of Peshawar was sentenced to eight years in prison for accepting bribes, this mayor is still an old subordinate of President Muhammad, and President Muhammad personally signed an order to deal with it strictly!
Tanimura Hiroaki remembered this, and immediately secretly scolded himself in his heart for being stupid, if he wanted to bribe, he should have bribed the director behind his back, and in front of so many people, he would stuff the bank card himself, which must be unacceptable to the other party.
Thinking of this, he immediately shrank back and said, "Director, I'm sorry, it's just a shopping card from a Karachi supermarket, and it's only fifty rupees in it." It's just a little bit of our mind, it's really not a bribe. ”
After speaking, Tanimura Hiroaki bent down and bowed to the director: "I'm very sorry. ”
Island people can't do anything else, and the ability to apologize is very strong, but it's a pity. It's just a habit, it's like an island person beating his wife at home, and after the beating, he will apologize very solemnly, but when the apology is over, how to beat and how to beat.
But now, for the sake of Tanimura's sincerity, Carat did not continue to investigate. "During this time, we found that the water flow of the Hebb River was seriously polluted, and after careful investigation, we found that Toshiba was discharging sewage into the Heb River every night," he said. We monitored for a total of half a month, and Toshiba began to discharge after 11 o'clock every day until 4 o'clock in the morning the next day. ”
Tanimura Hiroaki was shocked, he only thought that the other party was a surprise inspection. Who would have thought that the other party had been secretly squatting for half a month! This sucks now!
"We have already submitted to the court. The evidence is conclusive, your company has caused a large area of pollution of the water of the Heb River, and even more so to the sea around Karachi, and now I am here to advise your company on how to deal with it, and you will be fined 50 billion rupees. And rectification within a time limit, after we pass the inspection, we can resume production, I hope your company can accept the lesson. To be a businessman, you must be honest! ”
Five billion rupees! Converted into US dollars. There are also half billion dollars! It can be said that Toshiba's entire assets in Karachi are now less than a billion dollars! Such a fine is simply the rhythm of killing the entire Toshiba company.
Tanimura Hiroaki was a little stupid, watching these people read out the punishment opinions and then leave, Tanimura Hiroaki still didn't react, and froze there.
"General Manager?" The secretary on the side couldn't help but remind: "The guests are gone, you should send them." ”
"Send?" Hiroaki Tanimura smiled bitterly, it was they who sent us almost the same!
Sitting on the chair, Hiroaki Tanimura no longer had any intention to look at his big-breasted secretary, and his thoughts began to gradually become clear. Now, the United States and other Western countries have begun to impose a series of sanctions on Pakistan, and the island countries are closely following the United States' ass and imposing equal sanctions on Pakistan.
But now, Pakistan's counterattack has begun! Pakistan is not directly confronting the United States, their economic strength is not enough, and if it really provokes the United States, Pakistan may be subjected to full-scale economic retaliation by the United States.
Therefore, the island nation has become a channel for Pakistan to vent its anger! It is precisely now that the island country is experiencing an economic crisis, and major companies have collapsed one after another, it is impossible to fight this economic war with the Pakistani government!
What to do? Tanimura Hiroaki was depressed for half an hour, and began to call the headquarters, this time, it must be impossible to cover it, but if it is transmitted back to China, Tanimura Hiroaki knows that his career in Toshiba is over, even if it is over, the company is now insolvent, and if he encounters this high fine, he is afraid that he will not pay it, but withdraw from Pakistan.
The company's fixed assets will also be confiscated by the Pakistani government and used as fines. Damn, how is it that Pakistan does not have a state-owned company on the island? When the time comes, the same tactics can be used against Pakistani companies!
Moreover, the island country is already a big manufacturing country, the island country exports industrial products to the world, and although Pakistan has also begun to vigorously develop the manufacturing industry, but Pakistan's industrial products are impossible to export to the island country, just kidding, the quality of Pakistan's industrial products is not as good as the local production of the island country, the cost is still high, how can it enter the island market? Pakistan's industrial products are mainly sold to countries in South Asia, the Middle East, and even Africa. In this way, it is impossible for even island countries to impose punitive tariffs on imported products.
Picking up the phone, Tanimura Hiroaki never dared to dial out, he could almost imagine that once the head office knew that it was fined at a sky-high price for discharging sewage, it would definitely sprinkle all its anger on Tanimura Hiroaki, and when the time came, he would check the accounts again and find that Tanimura Hiroaki's deficits would be even more troublesome.
After hesitating for a long time, Tanimura Hiroaki still didn't dial the phone, his hand was on the telephone, he picked it up, and put it down, suddenly, in an instant, Tanimura Hiroaki remembered someone.
The person who once saved his life, when he was facing a desperate situation, he was rescued by that person, and after that, his luck began to improve, and he came to Pakistan and became the head of this place.
Yes, find that person, who is very energetic throughout South Asia and the Middle East! Maybe he'll have a solution!
Thinking of this, he looked at the secretary beside him and said, "You go out first?" ”
The secretary went out with his ass twisted, and Hiroaki Tanimura dialed the secret number: "Mr. Farabi, where are you?" I'm Kotani. ”
"What? Are you new to Pakistan? That's great! Can I see you? I have something important to ask you for. ”
Three hours later, it was time to get off work, and even the beautiful secretary had left, and Hiroaki Tanimura was alone in an empty office, looking out at the city.
Pakistan's development is very fast, Karachi, a port city, has been built into a first-class metropolis, the entire South Asian region is one of the best, especially the development of shipbuilding and other industries, everywhere is full of vitality.
"Tanimura-kun, what's the matter?" Just when Hiroaki Tanimura temporarily forgot his troubles and sighed here, a voice came from behind him.
A tall young man sat on the sofa, lifted Erlang's legs, and flicked the dust on his leather shoes.
"Mr. Farabi, I'm very sorry that my career has encountered some difficulties here." Tanimura said: "Because of our company's wastewater discharge, the Environmental Protection Bureau in Karachi has fined us 50 billion rupees, which is too high, do you have any channels to get the government to fine us less?" ”
"Wastewater? How dare you do this! Al-Farabi suddenly looked angry: "This is the holy place that Allah has given us!" How dare you pollute and destroy here! Five billion rupees is too little, and companies like you should get out of Pakistan directly! ”
Tanimura Hiroaki was stunned, he didn't expect that this businessman would have such a consciousness! Could it be that this guy is Pakistani?
Until now, Farabi's identity is still secret, in the eyes of Tanimura Hiroaki, he only knows that this person has a lot of energy, when the company came to Pakistan to build a factory, it was he who helped negotiate with the government, saving Toshiba a lot of money, but now, this person's attitude, but Tanimura Hiroaki feels uneasy.
Farabi was still angry and cursed for a long time, and Tanimura Hiroaki slowly understood that the people here are different from other third world countries, they attach great importance to environmental protection and develop industry, and they must not sacrifice the environment, because this is the land given to them by Allah. Alas, the faith of these people is really incomprehensible!
Although he was cursed by the other party, Tanimura Hiroaki could only apologize with a smile, after all, he now had to beg the person in front of him.
Farabi scolded for a long time, gradually calmed down, and said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"Our company really can't afford to pay so many fines." Hiroaki Tanimura said, "So, I brought you here, hoping that you can help us through this difficult time." ”
"I'll help you?" Al-Farabi said: "What good is it for me to help you? ”
Of course, Farabi is not Lei Feng, he does good deeds without leaving a name, and there are not enough benefits, so Farabi will not do this.
"We can pay you a million dollars." Hiroaki Tanimura said.
Million! Farabi sneered: "That's a fine of 50 billion rupees, do you think that with just a million dollars, you can solve the current problem?" (To be continued......)
