"prince."

Peng Zhicong bowed slightly to show respect.

Now, Charles has rented a villa in Taipingshan as the prince's temporary palace.

Including reception, office, living and other functions.

"I hope you can continue to fulfill your duties as the Commissioner of Police and ensure the social order of Hong Kong Island before 1997."

"You'll see what I mean."

The Prince's Palace is adjacent to the Government House and not far from the Chong Family Courtyard. It firmly occupies the most luxurious area on Hong Kong Island. It seems to say that I, the British Prince, am at the top of the class wherever I go!

The facts are indeed correct.

After Charles conducted research with the Governor of Hong Kong and discussed the plan, he began to summon the chief executives of various departments in turn. He first said hello to the chief executives and expressed that he would take over the departmental powers of the Governor of Hong Kong, and then he would implement relevant political matters.

plan.

Of course, in the meeting with the Chief Executive of Hong Kong Island, it is impossible to miss the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong Island, "First Brother" Pang Chi-chung.

After all, Peng Chih-chung controls the largest military department in Hong Kong, at least in name.

And the relationship between Peng Zhicong and the prince is very good.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be transferred from his ancestral home to Hong Kong Island to take over the Korean police team and be responsible for handling the Hong Kong Island police force.

The royal family is a staunch supporter of the Hong Kong Governor.

However, the Hong Kong Island Police Force seems to have a magical power that can turn every ghost guy transferred from the ancestral family into a native-born "Hong Kong faction".

Damn it, there is a bottom line if you don’t grow a red heart.

Therefore, the royal family of the ancestral family cannot be said to be satisfied with every police chief. After counting, the most satisfied one is the term of "Gebai", which is why the political development of "Gebai" is so good.

As for the first few hooking up with Brother Luo and the latter ones hooking up with Mr. Zhuang, none of them are really good guys!

"Ge Bai" hooked up with Brother Luo and Mr. Zhuang, but due to the opportunities of the times, he achieved something.

"clear."

"I will definitely serve the Hong Kong government." Peng Zhicong looked serious, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, Mr. Peng Zhicong, you can go to the office." The prince said with a chuckle.

"Farewell, Prince Charles." Peng Zhicong lowered his head, put his hand on his chest, stepped back a few meters, then raised his head and turned to leave the study.

Prince Charles looked at Peng Zhicong's back with a smile, turned his head and said to the administrative officer next to him: "Let the Financial Secretary and the officials from the Financial Secretary and Taxation Department come in."

The female administrative officer held the document, leaned down, raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled sweetly.

"yes, sir."

…

"Director, what do you think of Prince Charles?"

Office of the Commissioner of Police.

Zhuang Shikai raised his hand and placed a glass ashtray in the middle.

He held a cigar between his fingers, raised his fingers and tapped the cigar twice, and the lonely ash fell into the glass jar.

Zhuang Shikai leaned his butt against the director's desk, squinted his eyes, and took a deep breath of smoke.

Peng Zhicong was wearing a suit with a serious expression. He stood in the living room and smoked, saying: "Something's wrong, something's wrong."

"Based on my understanding of the prince, he should be very dissatisfied with me, but he didn't say..."

Peng Zhicong held the cigarette, exhaled white air, and suddenly raised his head: "He wants to move somewhere else!"

"Hong Kong Island business community." Zhuang Shikai opened his mouth, exhaling a long cigarette, as if he was wandering in another world, and sighed sadly: "The latest news from my friends in the business community, Charles is going to raise taxes on Hong Kong businessmen!"

What is targeted tax increase?

It is not a tax increase for Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong Island, but a tax exemption for British businessmen.

This type of operation is extremely low-level and can easily arouse public dissatisfaction and lead to disaster!

You must know that the people of Hong Kong Island currently have the support of the north, which is not something that the British government can easily manipulate, especially the Chinese people of Hong Kong Island who have huge influence and a lot of wealth.

Although Charles is not necessarily a master of political struggle, he grew up in the royal family, was deeply educated by elites, and assisted by a huge administrative think tank, so it is impossible for him to make stupid mistakes.

What's more, the royal family and the Chinese in Hong Kong are enemies, which does not necessarily mean they are friends with the British capital.

Different classes in the same country often rely on each other, but are wary of each other. From time to time, they have to cut off each other's tails. Isn't it too cheap for big businessmen to give tax exemptions to British capital?

Of course, in the battle between Hong Kong Island land and Chinese businessmen, the royal family and British capital were still staunch comrades-in-arms.

However, the flow of capital in the business world is often agglomeration.

For example, Chinese business capital is mainly concentrated in real estate, entertainment, shipping and other industries, while British capital is mainly concentrated in finance, investment, gaming and other fields.

Although the capitals of both parties compete with each other, they are in overlapping fields.

But the mainstream is very different.

The so-called targeted tax increase does not require pointing at the nose of Chinese businessmen and saying, I will increase your taxes. As long as tax increase regulations are formulated for certain fields, Chinese businessmen in that field will be included in the scope of the tax increase. On the contrary, it is not

There is no need to increase taxes on British investment in this field.

"Raise taxes?" Peng Zhicong stopped and raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

This tax increase policy did not require the involvement of the police, so Melis naturally excluded him, and he did not receive any news.

But since it is a tax increase.

Then it's none of his business...

"Huh..." Peng Zhicong breathed out, as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders, but Zhuang Shikai stared at him and said: "Don't let your guard down, Charles won't let you go so easily, the British police department is the most reluctant to give up.

A piece of land.”

After Peng Zhicong noticed the above changes, he immediately called Zhuang Shikai to discuss countermeasures. The reason was that he also knew the importance of the police force. If Prince Charles really wanted to make some political achievements in Hong Kong Island, no matter how he did it,

The police department will not be left out of any plan.

If Charles hasn't taken action against the police department yet, it must be that he hasn't had the chance to do so yet.

After Peng Zhicong decided to move closer to Zhuang Shikai, the best way was to continue to move closer to Zhuang Shikai... As the first thing he did when he came to Hong Kong Island was to visit Zhuang's "first brother" in person, Peng Zhicong had a unique

of cleverness.

"The taxation of Hong Kong is under the jurisdiction of the Inland Revenue Department of the Financial Secretary. The Director of Taxation is also legally appointed and is also the Director of Stamp Duty and the Director of Estate Duty."

"Responsible for the enforcement of Betting Duty Ordinance (Chapter 108), Estate Duty Ordinance (Chapter 111), Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112), Stamp Duty Ordinance (Chapter 117), Tax Reserve Certificates Ordinance (Chapter 289), Business Registration Ordinance

(Chapter 310), the Hotel Room Rent Tax Ordinance (Chapter 348) and the rules and regulations made thereunder.”

The screen changes.

Taiping Mountain.

Zhuang's Villa.

Mr. Shao picked up the teapot, raised the spout, and pulled out a thin line.

Six-mouth Longquan celadon cup.

Place on the tea tray.

Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Huo, Mr. Song, Mr. Bao and others were all sitting cross-legged. The scene was very formal.

"Taxation on Hong Kong Island adopts a combination of direct tax and indirect tax. Direct tax is divided into: salary tax, profits tax and property tax."

"Indirect taxes are divided into: stamp duty, gaming tax, commodity tax, customs duties, etc..."

Pattering.

Mr. Shao poured six cups of tea. The clear Anxi rock tea fell into the Longquan celadon cups, complementing each other.

Mr. Huo finished speaking.

Mr. Shao raised his hand and said: "Please."

Today's tea is the special Tieguanyin specially brought by Mr. Shao, and Mr. Shao is currently the rotating chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. He owns several accounting firms and has a relatively strong say.

The news that the Hong Kong government is about to raise taxes was also brought by Mr. Shao. Therefore, today's tea party will be hosted by Mr. Shao.

Zhuang Shikai picked up the tea cup in front of him, lowered his head and took a sip, praising: "Good tea."

"Good tea needs good water."

"The Baotu Spring water that Mr. Huo sent to be transported by air is excellent." Mr. Shao said with emotion while sipping the tea.

Take a sip of tea and look for water and leaves all over the world.

This is one of the signs of the top wealthy people in the Chinese circle.

In the past, some water could be sold for hundreds of thousands of liters.

While drinking tea, Mr. Huo swallowed a mouthful of leaves and deliberately held them on the tip of his tongue, savoring the bitterness of the tea leaves.

If you drink tea, some thin leaves will often get into the cup. Some old tea drinkers like to taste the leaves.

This allows you to experience the powerful stimulation tea brings to your taste buds.

This is an experience that tea cannot bring after being diluted dozens of times...

"We currently believe that the Hong Kong government will probably increase tariffs, stamp duties, property taxes, entertainment taxes and profits taxes in certain industries."

Mr. Huo put down his teacup.

Swallow the leaves.

Preach aloud.

Among the three major direct taxes of the Hong Kong government, salaries tax is personal income tax, profits tax is business profit tax, and property tax is considered a "rich person" tax.

Various indirect taxes are a supplement to the "profits tax", allowing the government to "draw water" and make money in certain violent industries, financial industries, and franchise industries.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to raise the salary tax, because raising the salary tax is against the middle and lower-class citizens.

This is not good for the Hong Kong government.

Giving "salaries tax" discounts to low-income citizens is a common practice in various developed countries and regions.

Adhering to the principle that the rich are taxed more and the poor are taxed less.

Only then can society develop better.

After drinking the tea, Zhuang Shikai played with the tea cup, admired the celadon glaze inscriptions, and sneered: "The British side has thousands of tax collectors, enough to formulate a detailed, standard, and highly targeted tax increase policy."

.”

"Increase our taxes to suppress Chinese-funded enterprises. Once Chinese-funded enterprises are attacked by tax, the first point will be a decrease in profits, and the next step will be an increase in costs, which will then give British companies the opportunity to invade."

"After British-funded companies enter related industries, as long as the Hong Kong government gives them some sweeteners, it will be a good thing for British companies."

"After all, these industries don't have their share in the first place... they can only get it because of the government's tax incentives."

Mr. Shao, Mr. Huo and others all stopped their movements, cast their gazes, and listened quietly to the speech of the "leader of the Patriotic Chamber of Commerce".

"This should be one of Charles' political goals in coming to Hong Kong, to avoid the political world and the police force, and use the business world that is easier to control to achieve his first victory."

Mr. Shao knew that the conversation was about to get to the point.
Chapter completed!
