That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1489 You all want to force me to my death!

The professional competence and dedication of the tax officials exceeded the expectations of everyone at Jingnan Group, except for Li Ye.

The reason for this unexpected turn of events is that Li Ye broke a consensus that everyone had previously agreed upon—it was normal for Jin Hong to take a 30% premium.

This is like decades later, some people earn only a few hundred thousand a year, yet everyone lives in villas worth millions or tens of millions.
Their children are often sent overseas to study and enjoy a life of luxury. They dare to eat, drink, take, ask for, have sex, and do whatever they want. There's nothing they wouldn't dare to do if it's something that even cattle and horses can think of.

But so what? People think it's normal, and the lowly cattle and horses at the bottom only complain a few times.

In the 1980s and 90s, such arrogance was rare. People would bring cigarettes and alcohol cans and smear themselves with dirt to ask for progress, but the nature of the situation was the same.

Why? Because everyone has become accustomed to it?

No, it's because the idea of ​​using small resources to gain big returns is a remnant of Chinese culture that has existed for thousands of years, making people both love and hate it.

Back in the 1980s, a young man surnamed Chen from Fujian made some money selling timber in the north and started thinking about doing something "big".
He had a keen eye; he set his sights on a struggling, low-paying department within the hospital, and then invested a hefty sum of three thousand yuan to start his own business.
Of the three thousand yuan, one thousand yuan was a "premium," another thousand yuan was for materials and injection fees, and the last thousand yuan was for the small advertisements plastered all over the streets and alleys.
In just six months, he earned 60,000 yuan. Before Li Ye came into this world, he was already worth billions.

So tell me, was his initial success due to his unique vision, his innovative marketing methods, or the extra thousand yuan he paid?
When a certain behavior can yield ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times the return, how many people would openly oppose it?
Only Li Ye objected, and his objection was blatantly offensive.

Compared to Li Ye's table-flipping stunt, Shang Bin's "internal investigation" these past few days is simply not up to par.

Ma Zhaoxian's driver's expense report for a few hundred yuan was irregular. What crime can you charge him with?

Jin Hong's actions involve hundreds of thousands of yuan in illicit income and could even implicate Jingnan Group in tax evasion. Is this a tactic of a lower level?
Moreover, a portion of the "premium" received from Jin Hong ended up in his own pocket!

So Shang Bin immediately invited the tax officials who came to investigate to the meeting room, served them good cigarettes and tea, and then sincerely said, "It really has nothing to do with us."

You ask why it's okay? Well, that's because, as the manufacturer said, 30% of the payment hasn't been settled yet! Once we pay the balance, these invoices will be fine, right?

As for Hongqi Trading Company? That has nothing to do with us, but we will actively coordinate to make them admit their mistakes and correct them.

How do you suggest we correct this mistake? It'll probably involve paying back taxes, fines, and adding a premium!

Shang Bin was, after all, a man of high rank and authority. He was quite intimidating to the tax officials who came to investigate. After making some ambiguous promises and guarantees, he managed to get rid of them.

But after the tax officials left, he turned pale and called Cong Jinhong to his office.

You can't hide forever. Since the tax authorities dared to investigate Jingnan Group, it must not be a spur-of-the-moment decision by a few small-time operators. It must be a big conspiracy orchestrated by key figures.

Therefore, we must remedy the situation immediately and patch up all the holes.

"Elder sister, this matter is extremely dangerous. You must resolve it within two days, or even one day, and do it cleanly and thoroughly."

Jin Hong looked at Shang Bin with a completely bewildered expression and asked, "How do we resolve this? It's obvious someone is targeting us, and I don't have the ability to handle it myself!"

At this point, Jin Hong could easily guess that the people recruited by the tax department were almost certainly related to Li Ye.

However, Jin Hong is not strong enough to fight Li Ye; the only one with real strength is Shang Bin.

Shang Bin rebuked sharply, "If you don't have any holes in your own backside, it won't matter who targets you. You need to plug those holes right now, otherwise they won't be so easy to deal with next time they come."

[The hole in my ass, it's your problem too, why should I have to plug it myself?]

Jin Hong wasn't a greenhorn, so she naturally understood that Shang Bin was trying to make her take the blame.

Jin Hong had done this kind of thing before, and seeing her subordinates wanting to curse but only able to force a smile, Jin Hong even felt a kind of distorted excitement. However, this time it was her turn, and the feeling was indescribably bittersweet.

Jin Hong gritted her teeth, smiled, and said, "Then I'll communicate with the invoicing unit as soon as possible to clear up any misunderstandings between us, but regarding the funds..."

Shang Bin rolled his eyes and said coldly, "You should ask Li Ye to handle the funding. Since you've been given the authority to purchase, you have to take on the corresponding responsibility. And as long as you adopt the right attitude and learn from this experience, the funding issue is a minor matter." [A minor matter!]

Jin Hong cursed inwardly.

Shang Bin clearly didn't want to give back the benefits he had already taken, and he even offered Cong Jin Hong a rosy picture, hoping that Cong Jin Hong would make up for today's losses in the future.

Anyone who has worked in engineering knows that if you hear the phrase "make up for it later," you're guaranteed to suffer a loss.

However, Jin Hong couldn't directly confront Shang Bin. Knowing the rules well, she was very clear that as long as Shang Bin protected her, she would only lose some money at most, and she would still have a chance to earn it back in the future.

If you anger Shang Bin, you might really have to eat cornbread.

"Okay, I'll communicate with them as soon as possible and resolve this quickly."

Jin Hong left Shang Bin's office with a smile on her face, then made a sharp phone call to her younger brother.

"Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you? The tax officials have come to your door, and Lao Lu didn't even say a word. Did you just throw all those benefits to the dogs?"

Jin Qi said with a bitter face, "Big sister, I just found out too. Old Lu was dealt with by his company. Now they're insisting that we didn't pay the full amount, or that we issued false invoices."

"What? It's only been a few days! And they've already double-crossed each other?"

Just a few days ago, Lao Lu said that he would transfer the money from Cong Jinhong and then return it to Cong Jinhong after things calmed down.

But now things have turned out badly; the other party is so greedy that they've decided to kill you rather than me.

Jin Hong was furious, but after she finished, she could only say, "It's alright. Since they insist we owe money, let's wait for them to sue us."

First, you need to settle the financial hole at Hongqi Trading Company. Pay the taxes owed, treat them to meals, and give them gifts. Don't be stingy.

Jin Hong gave her younger brother the idea of ​​"a set of three" and told him not to be stingy.

Logically speaking, this three-hit combo should have been invincible, but Jin Qi was finding herself in trouble.

"Big sister, I don't have that much cash on hand right now! Why don't you borrow some more from Lao Ou?"

Jin Hong was shocked: "Borrow money? No, how come you don't have any cash? Didn't I just..."

Jin Qi said helplessly, "I just wanted to earn more money! So I went to Pengcheng a few days ago and bought some stocks."

Jin Hong roared angrily, "Didn't I warn you not to touch those high-risk things? You still bought stocks! Sell them right now and get your money back!"

After a moment of silence, Jin Qi stammered, "The stocks are currently at a loss! It's not easy to cash them out right now."

"You all want to drive me to my death!"

Jin Hong felt dizzy and surrounded by countless demons and monsters tearing at her flesh and blood, which they excitedly swallowed.

However, after two days, the matter of issuing false invoices was temporarily brought under control.

But just as Jin Hong was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Ma Zhaoxian became unhappy.

You've already taken down my driver, and now you think you can just clean up your own mess and plug the hole in your own backside?

You're dreaming!
