Not all smart people in this world are there, and there is a large part of the population that is active in this society as "fools".

Some are really stupid, but there are some who are pretending to be stupid, and the owners of leather goods factories are obviously such people who are pretending to be stupid.

In the face of the tax officer's questioning, he always smiled silly and innocently.

In the conference room, where the office building of the leather goods factory was temporarily borrowed by the investigation team, the commissioner of the investigation team asked the question, "In the last six years, the price of all the leather purchased by your factory has been two to five times the market price, and in six years, have you not found these problems?"

He glanced down at the materials in his hand, and a mocking look appeared in his eyes, "According to this report you handed over to our tax bureau, your business will lose hundreds of thousands to more than one million yuan every year, but at the end of last year, you spent 450,000 yuan to buy a manor and a large piece of land in the next state. He looked up at the owner of the leather goods factory, "Can you explain how a business that has been losing money for six years has made you richer?"

"I believe that businessmen all over the world are willing to make you earn money that you can't spend in a lifetime just to know this answer. ”

The owner of the leather goods factory did not panic in the slightest, he seemed very calm, and asked the investigation team for a glass of red wine, "This is normal, isn't it? ”

The owner of the leather goods factory is so calm because he believes that even if there are some small problems, these small problems will not eventually become big problems.

Before the merchants, or all the capitalists, have grown up to be the backers of others, the empire has two great backers.

The first backer is called the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and the second big backer is the Imperial Central Bank.

The Chamber of Commerce is responsible for protecting the detailed operation of their business and all the correct data, and there will be no cheating in this part of the materials in the Chamber of Commerce, which is related to the credibility of a company.

In the current society, the creditworthiness of enterprises is the most important thing for capitalists, and as long as their enterprises are still credible, banks will give them loans as appropriate to help them get out of the predicament of shortage of funds.

At the same time, in the chamber of commerce, the creditworthiness of a company represents more and more expediable resources and a broader market.

The Chamber of Commerce will help these trustworthy enterprises to accelerate their development, and help them find complementary and equally trustworthy enterprises in the Chamber of Commerce to form an industrial chain, including helping them to promote their products and go public.

All of this requires credit, so how does credit come about?

In fact, it is very simple, the operation of a company, legal issues and the personal reputation of the registered shareholders are aggregated through these and many more data and intelligence, and the credit rating of these enterprises is assessed by a special agency of the Chamber of Commerce.

If a company falsifies some data in the quarterly report submitted to the Chamber of Commerce, once it is discovered by the reviewers, the company will be labeled as dishonest and then publicized in the newspapers and magazines within the Chamber of Commerce.

This is a very terrible consequence, once an enterprise has won such an "honor", and the enterprise has economic dealings, the upstream and downstream enterprises related to the business will immediately ask for the recovery of funds, reduce the volume of trade, increase the risk margin and a series of negative effects.

Eventually, the company will struggle and be gradually eliminated by the brutal commercial society.

This is one of the reasons why the Chamber of Commerce has been able to stand to this day, they have not done nothing, but have done a lot of work, so that some micro, small and medium-sized enterprises are more dependent on the Chamber of Commerce than on the natural consumption of society.

The simplest example is that a bakery is about three to five hundred yuan a day when it is in normal operation, but if the chamber of commerce takes the lead and introduces them to a medium-sized factory with many jobs, then the bakery may earn thousands or more yuan a day.

It is precisely because of this help that the vast majority of companies do not provide false data to the Chamber of Commerce, in addition to the possibility of detection, there is also competition, after all, there may be ten bakeries, but only three or five factories, and whoever is doing better will have a better chance of negotiating the business.

So, is it possible to get detailed data from the Chamber of Commerce to make leather goods factories recognize?

Not really, just like the owner of the leather goods factory showed his fearlessness, he may indeed be more passive when the data on the Chamber of Commerce is exposed, but he will not be too passive, because the Imperial Central Bank will continue to help him conceal the flow of funds.

There was a company that lost a million this year, but they made a profit of nine million in their annual statements, and they did not falsify.

What's the problem?

The reason is that they have obtained 10 million yuan of non-operating income from other places through "loans", "financing", "fundraising", "fundraising", etc., and this part of the money will be incorporated into the company's mid-year statement.

However, because this money is not business income, it completely avoids various taxes such as business tax, and only needs to pay a small amount of tax for it.

Therefore, this company is obviously losing money every year in operation, but it has the ability to find funds from other sources to fill the loss hole and create a huge profit.

As long as these investigation teams cannot trace the capital flow chain of the leather goods factory, even if the financial report of the chamber of commerce proves that they do have the problem of concealing the operation of the enterprise to the outside world, it will not be fatal.

It's nothing more than paying the tax that is being collected, plus a fine, and they don't even need to pay because they have been "losing money".

In the case that has already alarmed the Imperial Cabinet and the entire society, it only takes such a small price to be able to get out safely, in fact, it is still profitable!

This is where the calm confidence of the owner of the leather goods factory lies, he is not afraid of fines, as long as he is not criminalized, there is nothing that money and relationships cannot solve.

The tax commissioner shook his head slightly, in fact, such capitalists are the real appearance of imperial capitalists, they can spend thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars to find some models and third-rate stars to add color to their parties, and they can also spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a villa and manor that they may not be able to go to once a year.

They have countless unexpected profligacies to throw large sums of wealth into the water, just to hear the sound of tong.

However, they would never think of using the squandered money to increase the welfare of their workers, nor would they think about paying taxes in full.

The former will make them unhappy, and they will feel that these workers are just waiting for a week in their factories and they don't know if they are lazy, and they will have to pay them a large amount of money.

The latter will also make them unhappy, after all, every penny is covered with filthy and smelly blood, for which they don't even want decency in some places, why should they hand over their precious money to the Reich Tax Office now?

"If you don't cooperate with our investigation, you won't know if you can afford it once we find more evidence in the next investigation that is sufficient to prove that you are suspected of a serious crime. In the face of such a capitalist who could not be splashed with water, the tax commissioner could only tell him the seriousness of the matter in a threatening way, hoping that he would feel afraid.

However, the fact is that the capitalists who set up factories in the west are a little tougher than the capitalists in the south who shout for a lawyer at every turn, and he laughs, raises his glass to the red wine in the quilt, and sippers, "I look forward to that day!"

Soon the results of the interrogation were sent to Doolin, the first fine issued by the Ambiluo State Tax Office, and the amount was not large, only 20,000 yuan.

Judging by the business owner's "good" guilty plea and positive "remedial" measures, he only needs to pay a small part of the taxes he owes before, as well as a small fine, and get out safely.

The capitalists outside were relieved, and in fact, behind this incident, the Chamber of Commerce also made a great effort, and they sent special staff to teach these capitalists how to deal with the inquiries and interrogations of the tax commissioners.

Acknowledging a trivial fault – previously the tax system in Ambiluo was largely paralyzed and they did not know how to pay their taxes.

Absolutely denying any other possible criminal activity - I did not know until today that the tax laws of the Empire had been changed, and I have a positive attitude towards paying taxes, including paying fines.

As for the rest?

I'm sorry, I don't know anything, I didn't do anything, and I'm a fool, I'm always buying those cheap raw materials at super high prices, after all, this is the west, and it's not a strange thing to have a foolish entrepreneur.

Durin set the results aside and looked at Gray, "It's not what I want, you know what I mean." ”

Gray, who had been keeping his head down, felt a heavy pressure suddenly fall on him, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his Adam's apple slid a little, and explained in an astringent voice, "At present, we define them as tax evasion at most, and some people from the Chamber of Commerce have come to teach them how to fight against the tax authorities, and they have also given them a lot of help in the law." ”

"This puts the investigation on the back foot, unless ......"

Durin lit a cigarette and turned to look at him with his legs crossed, "Unless what?"

Gray glanced at Durin secretly and said stubbornly, "Unless the Imperial Bank can assist us in our investigation and figure out the source of some funds." ”

"If we can prove that the funds outside the business actually came from them, we can at least define their actions as premeditated tax evasion, or even tax resistance. ”

"This is enough for them to be judged by the law, and at the same time, the Chamber of Commerce is indispensable for harboring. ”

Durin thought seriously for a while, and then laughed, "I just want to deal with the Chamber of Commerce, and now I have to deal with the Imperial Central Bank?", he flicked half a cigarette on Gray's body, and Gray didn't even dare to dodge.

"You shit!"
