Chapter 236: Trickery
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the water agency building, and Ruan Jingtian stood at the window and looked out, only to see at least fifty or sixty people holding banners and standing at the gate of the water agency shouting:
"Protest against the shooting of a merchant by a water machine! Severely punish the murderer!"
There was a knock at the door, and Wang Jiahe came in again.
"Deputy Minister of the Palace, there are many merchants outside who are assassins of the country who have held demonstrations, saying that you killed the dealers of the Leng family in cold blood yesterday, and these merchants have boycotted the market and demonstrated, and shouted for severe punishment of the murderers. Wang Jiahe said anxiously.
Ruan Jingtian sneered in his heart, he had long looked at the two-faced Leng family with three swords. Leng Jian lightly turned to the Zheguo people on the surface, and he was an out-and-out traitor, and secretly he was unclear with the anti-philosophical organization. When the Zheguo people gained power, he relied on the Zheguo people to make special profits; if the assassins gained power, he turned into an undercover agent who broke into the Zheguo and was an anti-philosopher.
Ruan Jingtian picked up the phone and called He Xinguo over.
"Xinguo, let the fourth section check whether the annual inspection procedures of the industrial and commercial bureau for business licenses are in accordance with the regulations. "The fourth section is responsible for the discipline of the industrial and commercial bureau, and He Xinguo's classroom includes the fourth section.
In accordance with the regulations of the administration of industry and commerce, the industrial and commercial bureau shall conduct an annual inspection of the business license of the merchant or enterprise every year, and one of the contents of the annual inspection is to review whether the merchant or enterprise has evaded capital. If a merchant is found to have evaded capital, the AIC will revoke the business license and prohibit the merchant or enterprise from operating in a business.
As for how to define the act of capital evasion, the industrial and commercial bureau has come up with a simple lazy method: check whether the financial statements of the merchant or enterprise have been losing money for three consecutive years to determine whether the merchant or enterprise has evaded capital.
This puts some merchants or enterprises in a dilemma, if they don't want to lose money for three consecutive years, then they must have a profit on the books, but if there is a profit on the books, then they must pay taxes. These merchants or enterprises want to pass the annual inspection, but also want not to pay taxes, so they create two sets of accounts. One set of accounts to the tax department, and one set of accounts to the industrial and commercial bureau. Therefore, all the statements reported to the industrial and commercial bureau are all profitable on the books.
To put it bluntly, at least one set of financial statements submitted by these merchants or enterprises to the industrial and commercial bureau and the tax bureau is false. When he was in Zhangjia Department Store before, Ruan Jingtian had helped Zhang Baiwen do this, so he naturally knew that he was tired of the annual inspection of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
As a matter of fact, Ruan Jingtian disagrees with the practice of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau's annual inspection of licenses. After the business license is inspected by the industrial and commercial bureau for the year, it implies a meaning: that is, the business or enterprise in the past year is legal and in accordance with the regulations.
If, after the annual inspection, it is found that the merchant or enterprise has committed illegal business operations or fraud in the previous year. And the industrial and commercial bureau is not responsible for the loss caused to the society or other people.
In addition, the annual inspection of the industrial and commercial bureau also has a heavy impact on future things. When a customer does business with a merchant or enterprise, the first thing the customer checks is whether the license is inspected annually. After the annual inspection is passed, the customer subjectively believes that the merchant or enterprise is not illegal.
If the industrial and commercial bureau has passed the annual inspection of the license of the unscrupulous merchant or enterprise, but the customer is defrauded by the unscrupulous merchant or enterprise and suffers losses, then the deceived customer can only consider himself unlucky and cannot be held accountable by the industrial and commercial bureau. Therefore, the annual inspection of the business license by the industrial and commercial bureau is a typical example of only collecting money without obligation. Or that there are rights but no obligations.
Ruan Jingtian believes that the ultimate outcome of unequal rights and obligations is disorder and rules. After a long period of repeated games between merchants and customers, the result is that no one believes in the authority and fairness of the annual inspection, and the resolution of contradictions and conflicts can only be a contest of force or other forces between merchants and customers. This means that society has lost good order. Fraud, violence, etc. will become commonplace. The industrial and commercial bureau is only reduced to a tool for charging fees, and does not need to bear the corresponding responsibility for its annual inspection. Similar to this road, I opened this tree, and I planted this tree, and I want to cross it from now on. Leave the road money to buy the road.
According to Nguyen Ching Tien, the industrial and commercial bureau can issue a business license, but it does not need to conduct an annual inspection. That is, it does not guarantee the operation of the merchant or business, even if such a guarantee may only be a little idea of people. If the industrial and commercial bureau does not conduct annual inspections, it will eliminate the possibility of merchants or enterprises taking advantage of the credibility of the government to engage in illegal activities from the source.
If a merchant or enterprise is found to be operating illegally or committing fraud, the SAIC must revoke the violator's business license. In this way, the industrial and commercial bureau will avoid being suspected of exploiting merchants or enterprises.
Ruan Jingtian could not overturn the absurd industrial and commercial annual inspection system for the time being, but he could check whether the industrial and commercial bureau complied with the procedural regulations in the process of such annual inspection.
He knows very well that the annual inspection of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is to stamp and charge, and it does not care about the authenticity of the statements provided by merchants or enterprises.
According to the regulations, the industrial and commercial bureau is obliged to verify the authenticity of the statements provided by merchants or enterprises, but the industrial and commercial bureau puts the responsibility of verifying the authenticity to the certified public accountants who only recognize money.
The certified public accountant sets up a table in the hall on the first floor of the industrial and commercial bureau, holds the official seal, collects money with one hand, stamps the seal with the other, and then seals the annual inspection with the industrial and commercial bureau.
In fact, no one pays attention to the authenticity of the financial statements in this process, because even if the false financial statements lead to the annual inspection of merchants or enterprises, resulting in losses related to them, the industrial and commercial bureau and the certified public accountant will not be held liable for this. What is not responsible for the things that are not responsible, only fools will do them carefully and seriously.
Although no water authority would pay attention to such a trivial provision, it does not mean that Nguyen Ching Tien is not concerned about it.
He Xinguo didn't know much about the industrial and commercial bureau's annual inspection of business licenses, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he just looked at Ruan Jingtian hesitantly.
"Contact the tax department and ask it to provide the financial statements submitted by the merchant or enterprise, check them with the financial statements received by the industrial and commercial bureau, and check whether there are any flaws in the annual inspection procedure of the business license by the industrial and commercial bureau. If there are defects, order the industrial and commercial bureau to re-conduct the annual inspection, and check whether the punishment of the industrial and commercial bureau for fraud in the annual inspection process is in accordance with the procedural provisions. Ruan Jingtian saw He Xinguo's blank look, and sighed in his heart, he didn't even understand the business process of the public service department, how could he do a good job of supervision and inspection?
Shan Benmu hid in the corner of the destroyer, made a lifebuoy, and then secretly jumped into the vast sea, which is the junction of the inner sea and the outer sea of Higashiyama Castle, except for a few ships of Zheguo in the distance, few merchant ships or fishing boats passed by.
