0301 [The bell must be tied to the bell]
"What do you say? Damn it! ”
Fred was furious.
Director George was stunned, "Du, how dare you-"
"It's not him who dares, it's us FBI who dare!" As he spoke, he saw FBI Inspector Quinn bite a cigar and walk in.
"I'm sorry, guys! I'm uninvited! You don't mind, right? After speaking, Quinn and Du Yongxiao exchanged a look.
What the heck?
Fred, George and others were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect Du Yongxiao to have ambush soldiers.
"Mr. Fred of the Bicheng Group, I'm Quinn, Inspector of the FBI!" Quinn held out his hand.
Fred looked disdainful, "So what, can you FBI still manage our British companies?" ”
Quinn smiled, "Originally, it couldn't, but because your company is suspected of making false accounts with our American branch in terms of finances, and the tax is not transparent, we have the right to investigate now." ”
Fred was stunned.
Director George and others were also stunned.
The first reaction is that the FBI is really wide!
"Do you think the FBI is very lenient?" Quinn flicked his cigar in the ashtray, "Actually, we will interfere in anything that harms our American interests." ”
"Especially when it comes to taxation, you should know that we in the United States are different from you in the United Kingdom, and the requirements are very strict!"
After saying that, Quinn glanced at Fred, "Even harsher than drug trafficking and arms!" ”
Only then did Fred and others remember that the United States is the most tax-intensive country in the world, and for this reason, the US Tax Investigation Bureau has even specially equipped the military to be responsible for collecting taxes, and these people are equipped with heavy weapons, which is even more crazy than anti-narcotics.
On the contrary, drug trafficking and arms trafficking in the United States is pediatric compared to taxation, and even in many cases, drug traffickers are not punished as well as tax evaders.
"Ahem, even if it is, so what?" Fred vaguely felt that something was wrong, that the crisis was coming.
He did falsify the accounts with the British branch, and also committed perjury to each other, and now the FBI suddenly killed him, and he was caught off guard, and there was no time to destroy the evidence.
George and others didn't know what to say, but now that things have risen to an international level, the FBI has come forward, and their British intelligence service has become a little brother.
As a matter of fact, with the strength of the United States, the British bigwig has long been reduced to a follower, and the United States is the only one who looks to the United States in terms of intelligence.
"Since Mr. Fred thinks so, that is, he is not afraid of our investigation, then I now invite the MI6 represented by Mr. Du Yongxiao to investigate together, don't you mind?"
"Ah, this-"
Director George really didn't want to wade into troubled waters, but the other party had already spoken, so he couldn't refuse.
"I'm against it!" Fred said, "I'm firmly against it!" Even if you really want to investigate, it's the tax bureau's business, and it has nothing to do with your intelligence bureau! ”
Quinn grinned: "Don't you understand, sir, that now that your affairs are already in the international category, do you have so much power in the British Inland Revenue?" ”
"This-"
Fred was speechless.
"Alright, Director Du, let's act together!" Quinn didn't say anything more and invited Du Yongxiao to join the investigation.
"It's an honor!" Du Yongxiao nodded, then turned to Fred and said, "Please cooperate actively!" ”
……
"Sir! What to do, our fake accounts will soon be found out by them? ”
After Du Yongxiao and them immediately, the secretary was in a hurry.
"Damn it!" Fred slammed his fist on the table, "Even if it is found out, this is the United Kingdom, not the United States, tax evasion is not so strict, and even the punishment is not so severe." ”
"No, sir, we have other ...... on our accounts besides false accounts," the secretary said again.
"You mean — bribing members of Congress?" Fred remembered that every time he stuffed money into the congressmen and those political bigwigs, he walked through the company's accounts.
Bicheng originally had a leather bag company that specialized in helping with bribery, but recently stopped operating for special reasons, and I didn't expect these things to happen suddenly.
Tax evasion may not be a big problem in the UK, but bribery is a big problem.
This is also a peculiarity of each country.
The United States is a federal system, and if there is not enough tax revenue, there is no money to help the state machine operate.
Britain belongs to the old democratic empire, and it wants to save face, so it strictly controls bribery.
"What should I do?" Fred tapped on the door of his head, "Damn it, as soon as the FBI intervenes, things are difficult and the nature of things changes." ”
"In fact, there is a saying in China that the bell needs to be tied to the bell."
"What do you mean—"
"This matter is all caused by Du Yongxiao, if Mr. can bow his head and admit his mistake-"
"What do you say? Let me apologize to that lowly despicable Chinese? No way! Fred slammed the table and roared loudly.
"But that's the only way to do it now!" The secretary said boldly, "The surname Du is a step by step, even if he has reached this point after beating Master Simon, he deliberately joined forces with the FBI to suppress Bicheng Company, if Mr. You can't save face and insist on being an enemy of him, the result may be a lose-lose situation." ”
"You're saying I'm not going to be able to fight a little cop?"
"He's not just a police officer, he's the head of military intelligence, and he's the person Mr. Howard wants to protect!"
"Uh, Howard?" Fred was stunned, Howard was the one who overpowered him.
In England, only a few people such as Howard made Fred jealous.
"Why didn't the young master tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"That Du Yongxiao is Mr. Howard's life-saving benefactor! To be precise, he saved Mr. Howard's beloved daughter, Miss Michelle. ”
Fred was completely stunned, he really didn't know about this!
The secretary can also understand that Young Master Simon is afraid that he really didn't say it, otherwise Fred would not have looked down on that Du Yongxiao, and Du Yongxiao would not dare to be so lawless.
"Simon, this bastard—" Fred grabbed his hair, "he's going to be a loser, and he's trying to kill me this time!" ”
"I'm afraid that Young Master Simon also has something unspeakable."
"What can he hide? Aren't you afraid that I won't avenge him? ”
Fred completely figured it out, this Du Yongxiao couldn't move, although Fred wanted to break him into pieces.
Now that Du Yongxiao grabbed his pigtails again, he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Call over—"
"Huh?"
"Call that Du Yongxiao!" Fred commanded, "Just say I want to talk to him, talk to him personally!" ”
"Understood."
The secretary immediately called.
Soon the phone was connected, and the secretary talked to Du Yongxiao as Fred instructed.
Suddenly—
"Sir, he asked you to answer the phone."
"Really?" Fred took it, "Hello, I'm Fred!" ”
"Ten million!" Du Yongxiao said, "Ten million! I'll help you settle it! ”
