Mr. Chen said that in order to expand channels and stimulate agents to take goods, Central China F Province will sell to agents at a shipping price lower than the normal price, but the condition is that no invoices will be issued. This temptation has indeed stimulated the digestion of the province's channels, and the sales in the past year have increased by 60% year-on-year, and the collection has increased by 40%, which is not unrelated to this strategy.

I asked, "How much is the amount of tax evasion?" ”

"At present, nearly 200,000 have been found by the ** department."

I breathed a sigh of relief, dazed, and didn't know the depths.

Mr. Chen sighed: "Although 200,000 is a small amount, less than 1% of the company's total tax payable, but the impact is very great, and the ** department has drafted an administrative penalty order, which will be announced soon." ”

I suppressed the hidden worry again: "Has it been confirmed that it is tax evasion?" Don't have room to do anything? Why is this small amount so much to the struggle? ”

Mr. Chen shook his head: "This time they came prepared." First, the agent reports and provides the receipt issued by the company, you know that the receipt is different from the invoice, and you do not need to pay taxes; Then the ** personnel raided to check the accounts, the evidence was conclusive, and then reported directly. The company simply can't hold it down. In the morning, the scandal was immediately reported. ”

I remembered the back of Luo Jincheng hurriedly going out yesterday, and my heart was gloomy. Something big happened, but he came back without saying a word.

I suddenly felt that something was wrong, "The company is preparing to go public, isn't everything going according to accounting standards?" Even the personal income tax of employees is not avoided, how can there be such a loophole? Is there no one to supervise the finance department? ”

I know that many company employees do not have to pay taxes, which is called reasonable tax avoidance. Not so with FK. After I joined the company, I paid a three-digit individual income tax every month, although I was distressed, but I knew that in order to go public, the company had strictly complied with laws and regulations in all operations.

Later, when I was with Luo Jincheng, I once pretended to complain in private: "I received so much cabbage money a month, but I still have to contribute to the company's listing road." ”

At that time, our relationship had stabilized, and he pressed me under him and said, "Isn't it cost-effective to get cabbage money in the company and come to me to get meat money?" ”

I was teased by him, and my mind drifted somewhere.

Now I am puzzled.

Since the resignation of the director of the finance department in the middle of the year, this position has been vacant for a long time, and the financial manager said that he did not know about the matter, but only acted in accordance with the company's rules and regulations, and it may be that there was a mistake in the financial work under his hands. Now the finance department is in a mess. ”

I feel uneasy, and maybe it's not that simple. And the consequences of this matter will completely disrupt the pace of the entire group's listing. Because, one of the conditions for listing: the company itself has not been subject to administrative penalties by the departments of industry and commerce, taxation, environmental protection and other departments in the last 36 months before listing. In other words, the company has worked hard for nearly two years, and it is in sight that the listing is in sight, but because of this punishment, all efforts have been in vain and it has to start all over again.

In the morning of the next day, the group held a meeting of management personnel above the manager level, and the chairman and several shareholders also attended, but all of them looked solemn.

This is a-for-tat criticism meeting.

As soon as Luo Jincheng finished his opening remarks, stating the purpose of the meeting and the beginning and end of the event, Tian Hui, the sales director of Province F, stiffened his neck and immediately said: "Mr. Luo, although this matter is not instructed by me, I have to say a fair word for them." Last year's sales target was very unreasonable, and last year's growth expectation of the entire skincare market was less than 15%, but the company asked us to show a 35% growth performance. Our front-line personnel, which one is not overwhelmed by the company's performance indicators. It's okay to fight a tough battle, but the cost has decreased or not. Without ammunition, what kind of war can be fought with empty slogans. Who would take such a risky decision unless absolutely necessary? Blindly raising the indicator, the result is that the boat capsized in the gutter. If they really say that they are wrong, they are also forced by the company. Last year's indicators were too unreasonable. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and then fell into an endless silence. Most of the people here are part-time workers, and he is a sales director who is pointed sharply at the company's principal.

This battle, wherever you put it, means that you are on the bar with the leader, either he will go, or ...... Leaders come to power......

I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this is ...... He is a person with a foreign surname who is not related to the Luo family and does not participate in the year-end dividends, how can he openly challenge Luo Jincheng's authority?

Could it be that behind this......

I scanned the audience, but I didn't find Luo Jinrui, the third son of the Luo family, Luo Jincheng's fierce rival.

I gazed at Luo Jincheng's grim face again, and fear and worry crept into my heart. But seeing Luo Jincheng's calm expression, he asked coldly: "You said that the indicators are unreasonable, so what do you think is reasonable?" ”

Tian Hui was obviously surprised, and he didn't expect him to ask such a rhetorical question, but he stiffened his head: "The estimated growth is based on the sales volume, channel development and digestion of the previous year, but it should also be based on the development level of the industry." Obviously, there is only a 15% estimate, and 20%-25% of the indicators are reasonable. Last year, although the target was exceeded, as you can see, under heavy pressure, there are many problems. This year's metrics are also staggering, and I have to take this opportunity to say a fair word to the entire sales team. ”

Luo Jincheng nodded at the chairman, and swept the audience sharply, with a sonorous tone: "The purpose of summoning everyone here today has been clearly stated just now. As we all know, the year before last we just made a big adjustment to the entire market, channels, displays, and products, so under the rapid growth of 20% of the entire market, we only set 8% of the indicators to create a transition period and a respite period for the whole team. And it is precisely because of a year of accumulation that last year's performance exploded. Judging from various indicators, the company's decision-making is correct and reasonable. ”

Mr. Xie, the person in charge of the sales center, echoed: "Just now, Director Tian pointed out that the company's strategic mistakes led to the sales staff taking advantage of loopholes and making mistakes, which is simply ridiculous. If you don't manage the channel well, take advantage of opportunism, and ruin the company's reputation, is it not only right, but also have to sing praises for him? Director Tian, such a despicable act can actually move you to come forward and speak fairly, is our sales team so conscious? According to you, will all those who made the mistake this time be spared, and continue to condone their opportunistic exploits? ”

That's when one shareholder stepped forward. He is Luo Pengcheng, the nephew of Chairman Luo, who owns shares in the company, looks like he is in his early forties, and his face has been blessed.

He said: "Several of our shareholders were shocked when they heard about this, and they came to the meeting today to listen to the company's rectification measures for this time, not to listen to your verbal war." Director Tian, according to what you say, your personnel do not need to be punished, so who should be responsible for this matter? ”

The corners of Tian Hui's mouth twitched, and he was dumbfounded for a while. My mind was a mess and I couldn't tell what was going on.

Another shareholder next to him said, "I'll say a few words." "It's another nephew of Chairman Luo. He cleared his throat. I was expecting him to say something to lighten the mood.

As a result, he said: "I have taken a wait-and-see attitude towards the company's decision-making in the past two years, thinking that with President Luo at the helm and the chairman's supervision, the company's development will be safe." However, to be honest, I think the company's strategy in the past two years has been too aggressive, first of all, the strong promotion of FK cooperative franchise stores, which seriously squeezed competitors, which led to the strong resistance of agents in H province. This is one of them. Second, the performance indicators of the GZ brand are indeed set too high, and I have been in several markets, almost all of them complain, but the company's requirements are there, and they have to implement them to the end. The company is in a high-speed development stage, yes, we should seize the moment, but should the management consider whether our team, our market, our channel has grown to the stage where it needs to grow? Have our salaries, our inputs, met our development needs? To put it mildly, the steps are big, the pants don't fit, and it's easy to pull the egg ......"

The audience chuckled.

"I would advise companies to rethink their strategic direction and be cautious in formulating their strategies, rather than acting arbitrarily......"

His words were like a stone that slammed into the bottom of the lake. Isn't it an allusion to Luo Jincheng?

Immediately afterwards, another nephew, Luo Pengcheng, echoed: "Yes, the company should listen to the opinions of employees more and be fair and open, rather than just talking." Although this is not a shareholders' meeting, it is all about management. I propose to reinstate the voting system for important strategies, and take advantage of January to readjust the company's strategic decisions for the coming year. ”

As soon as these words came out, they sang and harmonized, and the intentions of these people may have been revealed. First, Tian Hui played as a striker, and then the two shareholders made moves one after another, the purpose of which was to weaken the rights of Luo Jincheng as the CEO.

My whole person seemed to be evacuated, and I couldn't get out of the atmosphere, and I glanced at the chairman blankly. He is the absolute controller of the company, but at this moment he does not say a word, without the kindness and softness of the past, but puts on the solemnity and solemnity that I have never seen before.

What about Luo Jincheng......

He was sitting leisurely next to the chairman, as solemn and calm as ever, and he couldn't see his emotions. How will he cope?

"Important strategic voting system? Uncle, do you mean that decisions involving a strategic level are all about the minority obeying the majority? ”

"Yes, after several years of rapid development, the company should follow the general environment, slow down and make adjustments, and should not be so rash."

At this time, the chairman finally opened Chrysostom: "I also understand a little bit of your opinions, which are not unreasonable." Penalties for violating the company's system should be punished, and speculation should be ...... As for the company's strategic direction, it should be carefully considered. ”

And then, he changed his mind.
