Before he could think deeply, Shen Yongrong was recognized by the customers in the store, and soon someone came up to say hello.
It is inevitable to be curious about the identities of Lin Yan and Bai Chen. People who can make Shen Yongrong treat them with respect are rare in Nanhai Port City.
Lian Zhou asked directly: "Who are these two? Please apply for a recommendation from the store manager." He had been observing for a while, and it was not easy to determine the identity of the two people.
They appear to be in their twenties, but they have a special temperament, and you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people.
Lianzhou often travels between Huacheng, Nanhai Port City and Sun City, and has developed a good eye over the past few years. He has a good relationship with Shen Yongrong and wants to make the business bigger and stronger with the support of the Shen family.
The two have known each other for more than two years. Seeing Shen Yongrong like this for the first time made Lian Zhou even more curious about the identities of Lin Yan and Bai Chen.
Shen Yongrong looked at Lin Yan, asking how to introduce him.
Lin Yan pointed at Bai Chen and said directly: "This is Bai Chen, the city lord of Nanhai Port City. I am her good friend. I went out today to broaden my horizons."
Shen Yongrong immediately introduced them to them: "This is Lianzhou, a native of Huacheng, who wants to do big business."
"Oh, what big business are you doing?" Lin Yan asked curiously.
Lian Zhou said hurriedly: "Manager Shen is exaggerating. I just want to make some money and live a good life."
He looked at Bai Chen and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have met City Lord Bai. I am very blind. It is my honor to meet City Lord Bai here. You seem to be a good City Lord at first sight, and you are so low-key when you come to understand the sentiments of the people." If I hadn’t met Manager Shen, I would have missed the opportunity to meet City Master Bai today.”
Lin Yan saw Bai Chen's expression was not good, and said hurriedly: "Haha, you said that sentence too long. Our City Master Bai is a pragmatic person, he always talks little and works seriously. Today we are here to see the treasures, don't disturb Baicheng The pleasure of the Lord.”
Lian Zhou immediately said: "It's my fault, I talked too much. You are busy, I have some things to do, so I will leave first."
After everyone left, Shen Yongrong said: "Lianzhou has always been so enthusiastic, please forgive me."
Lin Yan's smile faded, "Lian Zhou doesn't matter, let's find a quiet place and have a good chat."
Shen Yongrong's heart skipped a beat, his expression changed, and he hurriedly invited them to the private room inside.
"We won't spare the circle anymore. Bring out the store's accounts. Don't think about fooling around. Bai Chen and I are here. You should know the consequences of fooling around."
Shen Yongrong wiped the sweat from his face, "How dare I fool you? The store's accounts are all true and there is absolutely no fraud. I will get them right away."
A few minutes later, when they saw several account books, Lin Yan and Bai Chen picked them up and looked through them without saying anything.
Shen Yongrong stood aside, his body trembling slightly. He felt that something big had happened.
Sure enough, the moment he saw Lin Yan stand up, his premonition came true.
"Let's take a look at this page and explain to me why a coral tree worth six yuan can still enjoy tax benefits and only pay less than a dime in tax?"
Shen Yongrong opened his mouth, "I, when we filed the tax, this is how we filed it, and the tax bureau also reviewed it. I really don't know what happened."
"Okay, stop pretending. Manager Shen's information is really ill-informed. Several people from the tax bureau have been handed over to the court for investigation. You haven't received the information yet?"
Shen Yongrong looked pale and shook his head, "Everyone was arrested?"
"Yes, there is no one working in the tax bureau, so City Master Bai and I will do the work ourselves. You used Hu Juan's connections to deliberately evade taxes, and you still don't want to admit it?"
Shen Yongrong wanted to defend himself, but he also knew that the situation was over. Lin Yan and Bai Chen verified it in person, so there was no room for bargaining.
"Have nothing to say?" Lin Yan put down the account book, "Then I tell you, listen, last month, the turnover of Jumbo Shop was two hundred and twenty-six yuan and eight cents, and the tax paid was one yuan and three cents. This is only one month's accounts. You have been doing this for years, who gave you the courage?"
Bai Chen said coldly: "The evidence is conclusive, no need to waste words, just handle it in accordance with the law. Seal the treasure shop first, and then wait until a thorough investigation is completed."
Shen Yongrong was shocked, "The shop cannot be closed. We will pay the back taxes and accept the fine."
Lin Yan sneered, "Isn't this quite clear? Needless to say, we all know the consequences of tax evasion. Do you think it can be done so easily?"
Shen Yongrong drooped his head, "We will accept any punishment."
"Did you forget that you deliberately bribed Hu Juan?"
Bai Chen said directly: "Send the accounts to the court and wait for the verdict. Let's go. We have to go to other shops to have a look."
Lin Yan nodded, turned to Shen Yongrong and said, "Be conscious and go to the court. Don't wait for me to send someone to invite you. You can handle the matters in the store yourself. I'll give you one hour."
This is her last bit of kindness. It is not easy to open a shop. Once it is closed down, its reputation will be affected, and it will be difficult to open it again in the future.
Watching them leave, Shen Yongrong collapsed on the ground. He made a big mistake. The head of the family doesn't know the situation here yet. He makes all decisions privately, which affects the credibility of the Shen family.
He knew very well that if this matter came to Lin Yan and Bai Chen, the Shen family would definitely be implicated, and it was impossible to hide it.
Thinking of this, Shen Yongrong got up and wrote a letter.
In the next three days, Lin Yan and Bai Chen visited twenty-three shops in Nanhai Port City.
At the same time, well-informed people have learned that after they went to the treasure store, the store was closed, and it was not known when it would open for business.
Businessmen are the most sensitive to changes in the direction of the wind, and are waiting with trepidation for the court's verdict.
Lin Yan really didn't expect that half of the shops would take advantage of the loopholes. This is only the situation in Nanhai Port City one year after it was first built. With so many shops in Sun City, I don’t know how many such situations will happen.
Bai Chen: "Taxation is a big deal. I think you should go back to Sun City to investigate thoroughly."
"Yes, I have the same idea. It's just a treasure shop, and the tax evasion amount to more than one hundred and twenty yuan a year. It really can't be left alone. And those pearls and corals are hugely profitable treasures, so we have to find a way to use them. , we cannot let the Shen family monopolize it."
Bai Chen: "When will we set off?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the rubber base to see it and then go back to Sun City."
Lin Yan originally wanted to wait until all the relocated people arrived and were settled properly before she left. Now we have to change our plans. Tax implications are extensive and there is no way to delay it.
"Nanhai Port City cannot live without a tax collector. I think Fang Chuchu can still be used. You ask her to help you. You can make adjustments after someone is sent over."
Bai Chen nodded, "I understand. Fang Chuchu is timid and has no independent opinion, but he can still be used as a professional. Hu Juan is definitely not allowed to be used anymore."
"Yes, the difficult thing is how to deal with Liu Feng. The soldiers are injured and retired, and they are not placed in the right position, which will have a huge impact."
Both of them understood that Liu Feng could not escape his dereliction of duty, but considering the actual situation, they had to show some mercy to him.
