Chapter 449: High salary to support integrity?

Zhong Qingsheng's report listed the two most obvious companies, namely "Ohua Chemical Raw Materials Trading Company" headed by Sydney Lister and "Bruce Import and Export Trading Company" headed by Ronald Bruce.

The transaction data of these two companies over the years is detailed and rich, and the annual trade total and tax amount are clear.

In addition, this report lists in detail the inconsistencies in total trade volume, profit margins and tax amounts.

The data lists problems such as tax evasion, hidden profits and false accounting by the two companies.

This report is obviously a warning to Shi Jintang that someone is sucking blood from the body of the country.

After reading this report, Shi Jintang couldn't help but raise his forehead.

"Did you complete this report alone?"

Zhong Qingsheng raised his head and looked at Shi Xi, who said directly, "Dad, I helped him complete the report. I got a large part of the data in it from Aunt Sansa."

Shi Jintang closed the report and chuckled: "It is very valuable that you can notice this, but this report is of no use because the data you obtained is false."

What Zhong Qingsheng didn't know was that this was because Chairman Shi's precious daughter also made mistakes, and his old father would naturally be tolerant.

“You were able to discover the loopholes in these two companies because your Aunt Sansa gave you real data, otherwise you would not have been able to discover the loopholes in them.

Zhong Qingsheng was completely impressed by Chairman Shi's tolerance and generosity. They made mistakes, but instead of being taught a lesson, they comforted themselves.

Shi Jintang shook his head, "This is a 'policy' company specially set up when our Nanhua Company was established, mainly to deceive the British tax authorities."

After thinking about this, Shi Xi lowered his head, embarrassed to look at his father again.

"Then both Leonard and Sydney are fake?"

And you have good intentions and want to do things for the country. This spirit deserves encouragement! "

Zhong Qingsheng wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He said with shame, "I was too impulsive. I shouldn't have encouraged Shi Xi to help me."

Shi Xi's face turned red. When Zhong Qingsheng told her about the situation and found evidence of tax evasion by the two companies from the accounts, she felt that Zhong Qingsheng had a sharp mind and a precise vision.

Being able to find problems from real data shows that you are all smart, and this deserves praise. "

……

Hearing this, Zhong Qingsheng's face felt hot. He had intended to show off, but he didn't understand the relationship between it, so he made this report rashly and acted impulsively.

"Ah, Aunt Sansa is lying to me?"

If you remember the lesson this time, you will be more cautious next time.

Shi Jintang smiled and said, "I can't say it's fake. I just let them pretend. These two companies are actually under the control of the financial department."

I immediately caught the clues of the two companies. It turned out that this was a loophole deliberately set up by my father.

Shi Jintang laughed, "Young people will always make mistakes.

"Now that you have discovered the problems of these two companies, I want to test you next. If I plan to change the forms of these two companies, what do you think would be better?"

Shi Jintang chuckled, "Oh, I didn't explain it clearly.

Zhong Qingsheng looked up at Chairman Shi. He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "Uncle Shi, I didn't understand what you said."

If Shi Hao had made such a mistake, he would not be so kind and gentle in preaching and encouragement.

Well, I plan to merge the two companies into one company, but I will use a separate portion of the profits for a dedicated purpose. "

After hearing what his father said, Shi Xi's curiosity aroused.

"Dad, what is this special fund used for?" "It is specially used to pay dividends to officials. To put it bluntly, this money will be 'money to support integrity'."

Zhong Qingsheng had heard his father tell him about the historical facts of the Qing Dynasty, and had also read some history books.

He immediately reacted when he heard the word "Yinyinyin" and asked tentatively: "Uncle Shi wants to implement a 'high salary to support integrity' system?"

This young man knows the allusion of "high salary to support integrity", which shows that he has read history books.

Young people who can read history books are rare, so he praised: "Yes, I have this idea."

Shi Xi was obviously not clear about this allusion, so he had no choice but to shut up and be a listener.

Zhong Qingsheng thought about it and advised, "I don't think this method is good. Not to mention that the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty produced the extremely corrupt He Shen. The Song Dynasty treated civil servants preferentially and also produced many treacherous ministers and corrupt officials.

Not to mention that the important ministers and relatives of the Ming Dynasty directly depleted the national finance.

High salaries to support integrity will only encourage the greed of officials and their desire to engage in corruption for personal gain. "

Hearing Zhong Qingsheng's suggestion, Shi Jintang was a little surprised, "Well, your idea is right, but this is a welfare system, mainly to reward officials for their efforts. After all, they followed me all the way here, and I have to give them Some reward to repay them.”

Zhong Qingsheng could not comment on this. Chairman Shi could not be allowed to be rich and poor while the rest of the world was poor.

"Dad, I think you are right in wanting to reward the officials who follow you, but you cannot give them when they are in power, because officials already enjoy more privileges than ordinary people when they are in power.

For example, they use cars for free, and the official receptions they receive every year are more than what civilians enjoy.

This is already a kind of inequality. If we give them high salaries, it will widen the gap between them and the civilian class in disguise.

Soon they will become like the officials of the Qing Dynasty, who will only try every means to exploit the people instead of trying to appease the people in managing the country. "

After listening to his daughter's words, Shi Jintang also woke up a little.

Now is the founding stage of the country, and everyone must move forward with one heart. It is not appropriate to widen the gap between the government and the people and create classes in advance.

Therefore, this idea of ​​"high salary to support integrity" needs to be changed.

By what method?

Shi Jintang thought for a while, and the pension system of an island country suddenly popped into his mind. They were thinking of the policy of one-time payment for retired people.

If you have made no mistakes in your past work, you can receive a full pension. A similar system can be implemented here in Nanhua Country.

Officials and factory workers receive a pension after retirement that is sufficient to provide for their old age.

This includes several aspects: an integrity fund, as long as no corruption occurs, you can receive a full bonus, retirement pensions, and welfare subsidies.

In short, the pension and anti-corruption fund should be set higher to give officials something to look forward to, which is equivalent to the "final conclusion" of retirement evaluation.

In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and investigation of officials. Only when supervision is in place can the red line of corruption in the minds of officials be tightened.

"Well, I will consider your suggestion carefully. As for merging the two companies, we still have to do it.

After the establishment of the Import and Export Trading Corporation, the general manager of this company will be at the same level as the cabinet ministers.

I plan to transfer your father from the Immigration Bureau to serve as the general manager of this import and export trading company. "

After hearing this, Zhong Qingsheng's heart was filled with ups and downs. He might not be happy that his father was promoted because of him.

But he didn't forget where he was, "Thank you, Uncle Shi."

Shi Jintang waved his hand, "This matter has been decided a long time ago. Your father was not promoted because of your relationship with Xixi."

Zhong Qing smiled silently and bitterly. Of course I believe what you said, but it’s up to you whether others believe it or not.
