The first thousand seven hundred and forty-five chapters sit in prison
Xihai Trading Company is very rich. Although it has only been established for a short time, there are millions of cash in the company's account!
In addition to the large amount of investment, Xihai Trading Company also plans to set up its refinery in the eastern coastal area. The reason why it chose the eastern coast instead of the Xihai area where Xihai Trading Company started is because of many considerations.
The first is to consider that the direct purpose of the imperial high-level liberalization of this oil processing license is to expand the refining capacity and then supply the domestic market. Therefore, if the refinery is still placed in Baku or Sidan Island, it would be strange if the Ministry of Commerce can approve it.
Yes, but if it is placed on the eastern coast, it will mainly supply the local market, which will naturally add points.
Second, there is the issue of crude oil supply. After Zuo Chengsheng discussed with Royal Petroleum Company and Imperial Oil Company, these two important shareholders of Xihai Trading Company hope to establish the new refinery in the eastern coastal area.
Because the Baku oil field is currently the most important oil field in the empire, the empire attaches great importance to it. The eight major oil companies have set up large-scale refineries in Baku or Kuri. After the eight major oil companies complete the layout of their refineries in this area, the area will
The refining capacity will reach a terrifying 15 million barrels.
No matter how large the production capacity of the Baku oil field is, it cannot grow endlessly.
On the contrary, the potential in Nanyang is very great. The oil fields on Sidan Island have just been developed, and good news is constantly coming from new oil fields. The production capacity is expected to be very large. At the same time, oil fields have also been discovered in Borneo.
After comprehensive consideration, Xihai Refining Company, a subsidiary of Xihai Trading Company, will set up its first refinery in Ningbo. This is also to avoid competition from several refineries in Songjiang Prefecture.
When Xihai Refining Company's application was submitted, it didn't take long for it to be approved by the Ministry of Commerce and it was officially granted a petroleum processing license.
Of course, it is not just the Xihai Refining Company that has obtained the license, but there are actually more than 20 other companies. This time, the empire’s senior officials basically did not set too many restrictions. As long as the refinery is established locally, the total investment is greater than
Any amount of 200,000 yuan will be approved.
After obtaining the license, Zuo Chengsheng also took a train to Shanghai, because the headquarters of Xihai Refining Company will be established in Shanghai for nearby development.
When he got on the train to Shanghai, Zuo Chengsheng was a little nervous and uneasy, but mostly he was looking forward to it.
Although the Zuo family's textile business failed and the family almost went bankrupt, doing business, especially large-scale industry, is still the biggest dream of a successful businessman in this era.
As for trading, although this thing can make money quickly, to be honest, it is not on the market, and the ability to resist risks is too poor.
The anti-risk mentioned here does not refer to market risk, but official risk.
The status of businessmen in China has not been very high since ancient times, and it was almost the same in the Tang Dynasty. Even though many big businessmen were very rich, if he was just a pure businessman, his social status would not be very high.
Businessmen with high status are actually not only businessmen, but also gentry and even nobles.
And even if they are businessmen, they will compete with each other.
As far as the current empire is concerned, industrialists who can create wealth and provide a large number of jobs are undoubtedly the most popular among businessmen. As long as such entrepreneurs do not act stupidly and fight against the empire, then whether they are high-level empire officials or local officials
We all welcome these industrialists.
But except for industrialists, others are not very popular. For example, those who are engaged in finance have a very bad reputation. People say that they only engage in speculation, suck people's hard-earned money, and get something for nothing. The most important thing is
What's interesting is that this industry is generally highly profitable, and practitioners receive high salaries and high dividends, which makes people envious and jealous. At the same time, those engaged in securities and funds cannot provide many jobs. Even because these people are smart, all of them are
They are highly educated and very good at legal tax avoidance. The tax department has a headache for these people.
As time goes by, the people don't like them, and the government doesn't like them either!
Sometimes when the market fluctuates greatly, in order to calm down the public anger, or to kill a few pigs, the financial regulatory agencies will arrest a few securities companies or fund companies that have offended the public, and impose heavy punitive fines on them.
.
Datang's fines are terrifying, especially those issued by the Securities Division of the Ministry of Finance, which can easily bankrupt these securities companies.
But what I have to say is that there are a lot of smart people these days, and the founding of the Tang Dynasty is still relatively short. Although the relevant financial laws have been relatively complete, these elites with high IQs will still find loopholes and violate the rules.
operate.
So there are not many people who take desperate risks and still live well.
The regulatory agencies under the Ministry of Finance are sometimes powerless. They can guess that there may be a problem with a certain securities company, but they just can't find out what the problem is.
However, as the empire has been established for a long time, it can no longer be used as it was in the past, where people can be arrested and seized as long as they are suspected. Now we have to pay attention to evidence and procedures.
Therefore, regulatory agencies under the Department of Finance are often powerless!
At this time, it is often the time for the tax department to take action!
There are so many institutions in the empire, and the Tax Department has the most employees. Moreover, the Tax Department employs people with the highest average academic qualifications. There are also a large group of elite talents who have graduated from universities, and sometimes they also recruit some outstanding financial people. This
Tax Department investigators are as sensitive to numbers as fund managers.
They don't care about the illegal operations of these securities companies, but most of the illegal income obtained by these companies after illegal operations does not pay taxes, and if they do not pay taxes, the tax department will have objections.
The investigators of the tax department are also very busy on weekdays, and they do not stare at everyone for no reason. However, when the financial regulatory agencies notice a problem and cannot find it themselves, they will often report the case to the tax department.
investigative officer.
When the investigators of the tax department heard about the illegal income and then saw that the taxes were not paid, it was a big deal. They must investigate!
Since the establishment of the Tax Department, investigations into tax evasion by a certain person or organization have rarely failed. Unless the other party really has no tax evasion, they will always find evidence.
Once the tax investigator intervenes, he can basically declare a certain securities company or manager to be doomed...
Even if they don't directly find evidence for a large case, small evidence is enough, because the empire's tax laws are extremely strict. Even if it is a small amount of tax evasion, if the impact is relatively bad, tax evasion is subjective.
If it is more serious, the court will impose a heavy sentence.
There are quite a few people who have been jailed for just a few dollars of tax evasion!
