Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 380 "379" Fang Anxin's tax investigation: The weather is getting cold, Guan Zu should go bankrupt!
10 minutes later,
The Guo family once again received a call from the gangster.

This time, the call came from a different phone number.

The gangster's younger brother: "I want to talk to Mrs. Li just now!"

Mrs. Li: “It’s me, it’s me!”

She was so excited.

Gangster's younger brother: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

Mrs. Li: "Don't worry! I just hope Mr. Bandit won't hurt my husband for the time being!"

Gangster: "Hahaha~~~ Interesting, I personally admire people like you the most. Okay, I'll give you this chance!"

"In one hour, someone will pick you up at the Hong Kong-Macau Terminal to take a boat out to sea. I know there are police officers in your Guo family, and I also know they are listening to our phone calls. I want to tell you seriously that only you can come this time, and you are not allowed to bring any locators, recordings, etc. At the same time, the police are not allowed to follow you. If we find out, I'm sorry, we will take Mr. Guo's life."

Mrs. Li quickly said, "No, no!"

at this time,

The Criminal Intelligence Unit has located the phone.

Yang Zhen (Gu Zai) shook his head and said to Chen Guozhong: "On the east sea, 30 kilometers..."

This location is completely useless. How can I find it in the middle of the night?
……

……

after an hour,

Mrs. Li was searched and then checked with a metal detector before she boarded a modified, shabby yacht and went out to sea with the masked gangster's henchman at the wheel.

The police didn't dare to follow.

If anything happens to Mr. Guo’s life, there will be a major earthquake in the police force.

Another hour later,

Mrs. Li covered her face and climbed up to an unknown place.

Met Mr. Guo.

Mr. Guo was shocked when he saw his wife coming.

Mrs. Li saw that Mr. Guo was naked, with bruises all over his body, and his eyes were red.

The two hugged each other and cried.

Next comes negotiation.

During the telephone negotiation, the gangster spoke over the phone with a metallic voice.

"How much money can you offer for the ransom?"

"I can sell all my dowry and belongings for 2 million Hong Kong dollars."

"The Guo family is one of the four major families anyway, so why can't they even raise 5 million US dollars? Tell me the real answer."

As soon as the gangster said this, Mr. Guo also looked over.

Although I am tough, I don't want my family to suffer heavy losses in redeeming me. But if you don't redeem me, you will have problems.

Mrs. Li also has grievances against the Guo brothers: "Now that my husband is gone, his two brothers control the Xinji Group and are unwilling to pay, and I can't influence them."

Mr. Guo's eyes became gloomy.

Gangster: "Besides your 200 million, how much more can you give?"

Mrs. Li: "Including my husband's contribution, the maximum contribution is 5 million." (ps: In the real incident, some media speculated that the total was 7 million.)
The gangster laughed: "Okay, then 7 million."

Mrs. Li was immediately surprised: "Really?"

The gangster's metallic voice came: "There is one additional condition!"

Mrs. Li: “Please speak!”

Gangster: "Mr. Guo must divide the family property with his two younger brothers within one month."

Both Mr. Guo and Mrs. Li were shocked.

The gangster said: "Promise me, and the deal is done. If you don't agree... Mr. Guo, I'm sorry, but we want your life!"

Mr. Guo gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Since my brother is unjust, why should I be friendly and respectful to him?
Gangster: "Okay, remember your promise... Otherwise, we can take your life at any time."

Soon, the two sides reached an agreement.

Mrs. Li was reluctant to leave and finally took the boat back.

The gangster's voice came from the phone: "Mr. Guo, you are very lucky to have such a good wife."

Mr. Guo: "I think so too."

……

after an hour,

Mrs. Li returned to the Guo family, collected the ransom, and then asked HSBC to transfer the money to the gangster's account.

All together, it’s more than 9000 million US dollars.

Until 23: at night,
Mr. Guo was sent to the Tin Hau Temple on Lantau Island, and then walked alone along the road to Tai O Village. He then called the Guo family. Soon, Mrs. Li drove over and took Mr. Guo back to the Guo family.

Guo Family Villa,

Late at night, a ceremony was held for Mr. Guo to cross the fire basin and ward off evil spirits.

"Brother, you're finally back. We were so worried." The second young master Guo said worriedly.

"Heh..." Young Master Guo looked at his second brother coldly.

"It's normal for big brother to feel resentful... But big brother should also understand us. We really have no choice. The group is short of funds recently, and we are also thinking about the family." The third son of Guo defended.

"For the family? That's right, you are all right." Young Master Guo sneered.

Old Mrs. Kuang felt helpless and heartbroken watching her three sons quarreling.

“Okay, stop arguing. It’s good that the person is back safely... Boss, go take a shower, change clothes, and have a good rest…” Mrs. Kuang had little authority and could only try to smooth things over.

"And my eldest daughter-in-law, this time it's all thanks to you..."

Old Mrs. Kuang looked at Mrs. Li and couldn't help but sigh. She had always disliked this daughter-in-law before, but tonight, her mind changed all of a sudden.

This daughter-in-law is the best daughter-in-law!

Then, Mrs. Kuang said to all the maids and security guards in the villa: "Don't tell anyone about what happened today!"

The maids and security guards shouted, “Yes!”

A face full of loyalty, no doubt about it!
but……

Inner mind: "Sorry, I am only loyal to money!"

After Mr. Guo was kidnapped, various reporters showed their talents and paid to find these maids and security guards. They had secretly sold the information to TVB, ATV and various newspapers for a good price.

……

……

a new day,
Early in the morning, more than a thousand newsstands across Hong Kong began shouting loudly.

"Newspapers for sale, newspapers for sale, big news!"

"Mr. Guo returned home safely, but he only paid 7 million Hong Kong dollars..."

"Rumor has it that my wife, Mrs. Li, is personally negotiating with the bandits..." Citizens were all attracted by the shouting and paid for newspapers.

——"Last night, after going through a lot of hardships, Mr. Guo was released near the Tianhou Temple on Lantau Island at around 23: last night and returned to the Guo family safely..."

——"Mrs. Li, the wife of Mr. Guo, showed bravery and fearlessness in this incident. She went alone to negotiate with the kidnappers and successfully reduced the ransom to 7 million..."

When all the citizens saw this, they were shocked by Mrs. Li’s behavior.

"Mrs. Li is amazing, a wonderful woman!"

"You actually dared to negotiate with the bandits alone. You really have the courage to do so!"

“I am truly impressed!”

TVB and ATV are also reporting the event in their morning news.

TVB News: "…It is understood that the reason behind this incident was that the second and third sons of Guo did not actively contribute money, so Mrs. Li was forced to be brave…"

ATV News: "… this incident exposed the discord between the Guo brothers and the struggle for family power…"

all day,

The whole of Hong Kong Island is talking about the feuds and hatreds within the wealthy Guo family.

I admire Mrs. Li's courage.

He also despised the second and third sons of Guo for not helping the man in need.

Think about the funeral of Boss Guo when he passed away. A bunch of wealthy people came to carry the coffin.

It’s only been a year since they left, and the three brothers are already fighting each other. Why is that?

……

……

peninsula hotel,

By the window, Fang Anxin and Aunt Fang were leisurely drinking morning tea.

On the table, a set of blue and white tea sets was placed in an orderly manner, with curling steam rising from the spout of the kettle, and various snacks were placed next to it...

"Big news lately, one after another."

"Even if I wanted to move this Guan Zu, I couldn't grab the hotspot."

Aunt Fang sighed.

In fact, Fang Anxin had been prepared for a long time, but had been waiting for cooperation from the media.

As a result, this hot news topic continues.

Fang Anxin chuckled and drank a sip of tea slowly: "Don't be impatient, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry..."

"Keep waiting..."

……

Then, two days later, the Guo family’s turmoil had calmed down.

The media is calm.

Aunt Fang and Fang Anxin finally felt that the time was ripe.

Start the drive!
The tax department of the Financial Secretary organized seven teams and headed to seven companies with a value of 7 billion yuan.

Tax check!

The code name of the operation is "Mirror"!
It means to keep a clear mirror and find out the illegal tax activities of enterprises.

This time, TVB obtained authorization from the Financial Secretary to follow up on this groundbreaking tax investigation.

Because the action came without warning!
These seven companies were caught off guard.

Just as Fang Anxin said, human nature is greedy, businesses are greedy, and tax evasion is the normal behavior of a business.

Sure enough, after a thorough investigation, these seven companies were found to have committed shocking amounts of tax evasion.

TVB, follow-up report:
"Dear audience friends, we are now at the front line of "Mingjing"..."

"As you can see, our tax officials are conducting..."

"This company has made a lot of money over the years thanks to its position as an industry leader. However, it has now been found to have evaded taxes. Preliminary estimates suggest the amount involved is as high as hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars..."

As the investigation deepened, the dark secrets of one company after another were revealed.

Some companies transferred profits by fabricating overseas transactions, while others fiddled with cost accounts and falsely reported expenses.

TVB's report sparked heated discussions throughout the city. Citizens on the streets gathered around the TV, watching the big companies that usually look glamorous having their disguises torn off, and couldn't help but talk about it.

"It turns out that these big companies are making money from us and evading taxes behind our backs. This is outrageous!"

"The tax department did a great job this time, and it's time to crack down on these illegal companies."

Seeing the public opinion getting bigger and bigger,
All the people in Hong Kong looked over here.

The "Mingjing" operation dominated the newspaper headlines for two days.

at night,

TVB also gave Fang Anxin an exclusive interview.

Fang Anxin faced the interview camera with a stern look and a righteous expression:
"... the tax evasion and tax avoidance activities of these companies that have been discovered are truly heartbreaking and infuriating."

"As an important pillar of the social economy, enterprises should shoulder corresponding responsibilities, give back to society, pay taxes according to law, and seek welfare for the people..."

"Their actions not only seriously undermine the fair competition in the market environment, but also blatantly plunder every law-abiding citizen and ruthlessly erode the foundation of Hong Kong's prosperity and stability..."

"Operation Mingjing will continue to persevere and will never tolerate any illegal acts. We will make these criminals pay a heavy price and restore Hong Kong's business to a bright future..."

"Here, I call on the general public to actively report tax evasion and tax avoidance, and work together to build a better Hong Kong Island!"

Her voice was firm, powerful and resounding, and it spread through the airwaves to every corner of Hong Kong Island.

After hearing this, citizens across Hong Kong applauded!
For a time, Fang Anxin became famous.

……

After the interview,

Fang Anxin and Aunt Fang came to a high-end private club in Central.

Aunt Fang was extremely excited.

In the past few days, TVB's news ratings have rebounded to over 50%, surpassing ATV.

Moreover, there are more important main dishes that have not been served yet——Guan Zu and Five Star Group!
It took so long to build up momentum!

It's time to take action against Guan Zu!
By then, it’s hard to imagine how high the ratings TVB will be able to achieve!
And Guan Zu, with so much attention on him, is doomed!
Aunt Fang couldn't wait: "Director Fang, when can we take action against Guan Zu?"

Fang Anxin shook the red wine glass, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "The time is ripe."

She overlooked the bustling scene of Central from the top of the building.
There was a coldness in his eyes.

"It's getting cold~~"
