After the task force was stationed in the mining industry, the investigation concluded that the illegal operation of the group was very serious, and the punishment plan is currently being discussed.
Originally, it owned all the minerals in the state, including mined and unmined, discovered and undiscovered, for the next 37 years, which also formed a significant part of the group's net asset valuation.
Such a mineral exploitation rights agreement certainly looks outrageous from a normal business perspective, but the original Wago municipality signed it in this way, which is almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing.
It is said that the government of the country will not only take back the mining rights, but also intend to impose heavy fines of more than one billion Luo yuan on the conglomerate.
The total net assets of the Vage Mining Group's public financial statements are only one billion Luo yuan, most of which still come from the valuation of mineral mining rights. In this way, even if the company smashes the bones and slag, it will not be able to pay the fine.
In view of this, the government of the country also intends to investigate the joint and several liability of its actual controller, the Imailei Group. If the bankruptcy liquidation of Wago Mining cannot afford to pay the fine, then the Yimailei Group will be punished.
The Yimailei Group is far away in Luobazhou, and the government of several miles is out of control at the moment, even if a fine is issued, the Yimailei Group can ignore it. However, from a legal point of view, if the group wants to carry out any business activities in the country in the future, the premise is that the fine is paid, unless it never comes, or the current government of the country is overthrown.
At present, the punishment plan has not been officially announced, but internal information has been circulated through various channels.
Although the senior management of the Wago Mining Group, mainly the senior management headed by Walish and directly dispatched by the Eselle Group, has not been arrested and imprisoned, they have been placed under surveillance and are not allowed to leave the mining area where they work, and must cooperate with the investigation of the task force at any time.
In doing so, the government of the country of several miles was soon under diplomatic pressure. Belligo sent a note to lodge a solemn protest, arguing that this is a gross interference in the operational autonomy of overseas investment enterprises, trampling on the principle of freedom of trade, harming the interests of investors, and seriously violating the human rights of top managers.
Iselle is a multinational industrial group, first founded in Lanxi country, business and investment all over the world, and later moved its headquarters to Beli country for various reasons, so this diplomatic protest was also led by Beli country.
The protests were not merely verbal, as the group provided a counter-argument or rebuttal to the accusations made by the Government of the Republic of China, avoiding the issue of concealment of production and focusing on the source of the mineral exploitation rights, in order to set the record straight.
According to the Group, the original acquisition of the mineral mining rights in the Vagobang district and the subsequent renewal of the contract had a special background and historical origins, and they did not take the initiative to invest, but were strongly invited by the Vagog city authorities.
Because the city of Vage, including the entire country of several miles, has no ability to open up its mineral resources, capital, technology, and talents...... There is nothing, and Imaire invests in the area for the purpose of aid. In other words, it was the country of several miles crying and begging them to open a mine, and they agreed to this request, which was simply a great kindness.
Although it did not cost much to obtain the right to mine minerals, Wago Mining pays a mineral resource tax every year according to its output, which brings valuable income to this extremely poor and backward country, and also solves the employment problem of a large number of local people.
This defense material is tantamount to telling the government of the country of Jili that if it leaves the Yimailei Group and the Wago Mining, the most important mineral industry in the country will be abolished, and the country alone will not be able to play on itself.
If the mining industry fails, the local government will lose its most important source of revenue, and tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs, leading to social unrest and riots almost immediately.
The material is more of a threat than a plea, and concludes by mentioning that the Bellinational government and the Romanian Union will protect the legitimate rights and personal safety of their businesses and citizens to invest abroad, and that if the government does not correct its wrongdoing, it will consider the possibility of armed intervention.
Armed intervention? Is this an invasion war? The subtle thing is that the military threat was not issued directly by the foreign affairs department of Belli, but came from a company like Imailei, which was somewhat of a tiger skin to scare people.
Some of the arguments of the Yimailei Group may sound reasonable and very confusing. For example, they did not want to invest in the mining industry, but were invited by the local authorities in the country of Jili, which has no mineral mining capacity of its own, and the mining industry has brought financial income and employment opportunities to the local area.
But anyone who is familiar with the history of this country will find that this statement does not stand up to scrutiny. At the beginning, the colonists of Lanxi, Beli, and Yin were not invited by the local tribes, but they came in with guns and cannons on their own, occupying land and mining resources.
At that time, the indigenous tribes living here were forced to work in the mines, and the situation was even worse than the slave labor that the New Alliance had freed from the plantations. Later, the Wago mining industry continued to take over and control the mineral industry left over from the colonial era after the independence of the country.
In response to this matter, the government of several miles replied with an official letter, stating its position, and at the same time submitting an evidentiary material, clearly pointing out the major violations of the law by the Vage Mining Group in recent years.
It is impossible to verify the data that is too old to be verified locally, but in the past six years, the average annual sales of Vage Mining has been 500 million Luo Yuan, and in fact, the sales of the municipal government are only 200 million Luo Yuan, and it is the mineral resource tax paid according to this sales that conceals 60% of the output.
The fine for tax evasion alone is enough to bankrupt Wago Mining!
The specific circumstances of the mineral exploitation right agreement signed between the first and the municipal authorities of Vage Mining cannot be investigated, but it was later renewed after the Lions took control of the Wagebang District, and many of the parties involved are still there.
The leader of the Lion Organization, even if the crime is heinous, is currently remanded and not shot, because there is another case unsolved. The so-called other case is the case of Wago Mining, and they truthfully explained how much benefits they received from Wago Mining, under what name, and what they did.
According to the relevant internal financial information of Vage Mining, it can be fully proved that the company obtained the renewal of the mineral mining right by means of illegal bribery and other means...... There is also a large amount of evidence of collusion with local criminal organizations, and the material on this aspect alone adds up to thousands of pages.
Of course, the copy of the evidence materials attached to this reply letter also fell into the hands of the Yimailei Group, and the high-level team in charge of this matter was confused. Because the evidence held by the government of several miles is too comprehensive, it is simply impossible without the cooperation of a group of internal ghosts!
According to their consistent understanding, the accounts of the Wage Mining cannot be found in the country at all, and it is difficult to find local people who are proficient in Lanxi, let alone understand such complex financial information, but this is the case.
The Belle side continued to protest through diplomatic channels, but avoided the issue of the operation of the Wago Mining, only emphasizing that the country had restricted the personal freedom of the expatriates of the country's enterprises, and the thunder was still heavy and the rain was getting quieter.
The executives of the mining industry have neither been arrested nor released from surveillance. The Iselli Group continues to quibble and threaten...... Things seem to have froze.
Although Yimailei Group is hard-mouthed on the surface, after hitting the nail, it is also seeking other stop-loss methods in private.
The attitude of the government of several miles is very tough, and if it continues to be hard steel, will it really develop into military intervention? Not to mention how likely this is, at least it is not profitable for the Yimailei Group, because the cost is too great.
In order to keep a Wago mining industry, he directly invaded the country of Jili to overthrow its government? If the revenue scale of Wago Mining is dozens of times that of now, there is a little possibility. As for the coup d'état by those who secretly make the bad happen, it seems that there is not much hope, because some people have already tried.
There is a saying in the East Country that it is called to go through the back door, which does not mean driving indiscriminately, but generally refers to the convenience of doing things by inviting guests and giving gifts to pull relationships.
When it comes to going through the back door, the major Western capital groups are playing the real high-end, and they can directly use political cash, legal lobbying, etc., or even push the government to formulate bills or amend legislation to achieve their own goals.
But if you want to do this, you have to have the right intermediary to connect with the current government officials of the country. At this time, some thinkers thought that Belli Country also had its own people in the country of Jili!
It is not difficult to investigate that Huanxiang Industry gave important support to the new alliance in seizing power in the country of Jili. And the owner of Huanxiang Industry is Feng Zibin, who is the lord canonized by Princess Ketia on behalf of the royal family of Belli.
So the Yimailei Group immediately began to contact Feng Zibin, the purpose was to find out through him the right way, to find out who can solve the problem by lobbying and buying, and what is the price to pay, and what are the conditions for the exchange of private interests?
But Lord Feng Zibin was unable to contact him as always, and the Foundation staff under his name gave a reply, saying that Mr. Lord had an explanation, and if it was a matter of business investment, he could contact Lord Rogrid to tell him.
Rochard can be contacted, the person is in Belly Country, and it is okay to ask him to come forward! It is said that Rogrid is an old friend of the people of the country of Chili, and has established a deep friendship with the new head of state, Charles, and if he is willing to take the lead, he will not have to look for himself anymore.
It just so happened that when Rogrid contacted Rochand, Rochard was about to visit the country of a few miles when he was invited by the local authorities of Afro-Soso to cut the ribbon on the new airport named after him.
