Huadu Land and Resources Bureau
Lin Sanqi took out his ID card and registered, then walked inside with his black canvas bag on his back.
Don’t underestimate this black backpack with dark patterns. It was specially selected by Yin Lianyi for her boyfriend. It is said to be an Italian luxury brand. This bag alone cost 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.
But when Lin Sanqi carried it on his back, it felt no different from a 500 yuan backpack bought on Taobao.
Similarly, the watch he is wearing on his wrist now is also a classic men's watch from Patek Philippe, and the watch alone costs more than two million.
But whether it is clothes or bags, it all depends on the temperament of the wearer.
Lin Sanqi is a typical nouveau riche. He has money, but he has not yet developed the temperament of a rich or powerful person. Whether viewed from a distance or observed up close, he looks like an ordinary intern and does not look like a wealthy man at all.
So no matter whether it is a backpack worth hundreds of thousands or a watch worth millions, when worn on him, it just looks like ordinary stuff. This is simply a waste of precious resources.
People in Dongguan don’t actually care about what they wear.
A boss like Lin Tuhao, who has tens of billions in his account, hundreds of billions of medicines and jade in his space, and more than 20 tons of gold, would always wear an ordinary T-shirt, a pair of large shorts, and a pair of flip-flops in 2013.
Only in 1960 did people start wearing white shirts and dark blue trousers, both of which looked baggy and definitely not slim-fitting.
In order to keep a low profile, he even doesn't wear leather shoes. He usually wears a pair of cloth shoes. These cloth shoes are not made by Nei Liansheng, but the soles are made by Jin Caifeng herself.
But if you look at the details of the wealthy people in Dongguang Province, such as the watches, backpacks, or cars I just mentioned.
If a cleaner puts his broom directly in the trunk of his Maserati after get off work and drives away, don't be surprised at all.
If you can't observe these, just observe Uncle Dongguang's keys. If he holds a ring with all the keys hanging on it, he is a super rich man with several buildings at home.
If someone just has a bunch of keys hanging around his waist, he is an ordinary wealthy person, and his family may be so poor that he only has a dozen houses to rent out.
Lin Sanqi looked at the information on his phone and directly pressed the 7th floor.
After exiting the elevator, he discovered that another electronic door was closed. He couldn't enter the office, so he could only make a phone call:
"Hey, boss, I'm on the seventh floor. Yes, I can't get in. Then I'll wait for you."
After a while, the electronic door opened and a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt, black trousers and a party emblem on his chest came out. Needless to say, his temperament was very elegant.
"Boss."
"Qizi, how come you have time to come to Big Brother's place? Haha, come in and sit down."
The middle-aged man who came out was named Lin Yangping. His current position was the deputy director of the Huadu Land and Resources Bureau. He was the eldest of Lin Sanqi's generation and one of the most promising people in the family.
He has a very gentlemanly temperament, but strictly speaking, he is just in the middle class.
Don't forget, Lin Sanqi is a deputy director, one level higher than this Boss Lin. Unfortunately, he was a deputy director in 1960 and is of no use.
Lin Sanqi followed his elder brother into the office and looked around:
"Boss, how come your office is so small as the deputy director? My office is much bigger than yours."
Lin Sanqi was referring to the director's office of the Changping branch in 1960, but Lin Yangping mistakenly thought it was the Lingnantang company office, so he laughed and said:
"How can a lowly official like me compare to you, Mr. Lin? I visited Uncle Jiu's Chinese medicine clinic in advance. It was magnificent, truly royal, all made of red sandalwood, with even designs of five-clawed golden dragons and phoenixes.
"I heard from Uncle Sixteen that it's worth at least 5 billion? Damn, Qizi, did your family dig out a treasure trove from the foundation? Even if you start a company, who can earn 5 billion in just half a year?"
Lin Yangping is an official, and the situation of being an official is different.
Everyone else just envied the Lin family for making a fortune, but Lin Pingyang was keenly aware of the irrationality of this wealth growth, and was actually reminding his cousin in disguise.
After all, even he noticed it, so it's impossible for others not to notice it.
"Boss, I'm just lucky. I happened to come across these red sandalwood furniture. Just like my business, I buy the raw materials directly from Changbai Mountain and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. There are no middlemen to make a profit, so of course my profit is high. What a coincidence! I'm here to give you a gift. I need your help with something."
After saying that, Lin Sanqi placed a 50-year-old wild ginseng and a large box of cordyceps on the table.
"Boss, let me be clear, this is not a bribe. I work in the medical field, and you work in the Land Bureau. We don't have any conflict of interest. This is a local specialty I'm giving to Uncle to nourish his body."
Lin Yangping took the ginseng and cordyceps, and was secretly surprised. If these two boxes were sold in the market, they would be worth at least two million. How could his cousin just give them to him?
The Dongguan family is very united. Lin Yangping feels that as the eldest brother, he should speak clearly about some things to prevent his cousin from making misjudgments.
"Qizi, where did you get the stuff? That's your trade secret, so I won't ask. But remember, if it comes from an unknown source, you absolutely must not touch it. Even if you make tens or hundreds of billions now, it's meaningless. If the people come down with an iron fist, the money won't belong to you in the end."
Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly:
"Don't worry, big brother. I have two branches in the Northeast and Northwest, and I have Lin Jianghe and Lin Hai as managers respectively. They are my brothers, and the channels are completely in my hands.
I've also contracted 30 square kilometers of pristine forest in Northeast China and opened a musk deer breeding center and Cordyceps procurement department covering several thousand acres in Northwest China. We work together to ensure the supply is legitimate and reasonable."
Lin Yangping unconsciously put himself into the leadership mindset and nodded slightly:
"That's good. What you're selling is actually raw materials, not processed. So you organize the supply at the place of origin and then sell it. This makes sense, and you're very smart."
Lin Yangping had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that the two branches were just a decoy, a way to find a reasonable and legal explanation for their own source of goods.
Of course, if you look into it in detail, the wild ginseng resources in Northeast China are almost exhausted, and no one else can buy them. Why would you buy thousands or tens of thousands of them?
But Lin Sanqi could also refute it:
Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it; just because your contracted forest doesn't produce anything doesn't mean mine can't produce anything either; my ginseng is harvested from the forest I contracted, and it's just that the ginseng farmers secretly sell it to me. So what? If you say it's unreasonable, can you provide evidence?
So in this kind of situation, each person has his own reasons. At least it is more reasonable than you appearing out of nowhere and arousing suspicion, and at least it can shut up most people.
Lin Yangping had another worry:
"One more thing. I don't know how much profit you have, but there is one thing you must remember: do not evade taxes or try to exploit loopholes. The fifth phase of the Golden Tax System, which has just been launched, is very powerful and has a very wide coverage.
Sometimes, just because they don't arrest you doesn't mean they don't have a handle on your cash flow. Perhaps they're holding off until your funds are large enough to seize a large sum. Then, all your profits, including principal and interest, will be confiscated.
So, I hope you can pay taxes according to the law, the amount you should. Don't feel bad about paying so much tax now. The more taxes you pay, the more you become a star enterprise in the local area, and the more the government will protect your business from being infringed upon. Do you understand?
Some entrepreneurs are being too clever, thinking they can save a lot of tax by manipulating their accounts. But the tax bureau is keeping track of your accounts, and when the tax authorities strike, not only will they have to pay back the money, but they'll also end up losing even more when the fines are added. This is called being too clever for your own good.
Lin Sanqi thought, I came to you for help today, why did you give me a political lesson?
No wonder leaders like to talk briefly and then talk non-stop...
However, he was not an ungrateful person. He knew that his elder brother had always been concerned about his Lingnantang Company and was afraid that he would become arrogant after making a fortune, so he deliberately reminded him. He still had to remember the favor.
"Don't worry, big brother. My Lingnantang company has paid an estimated 2 billion in taxes in the past six months alone. I absolutely haven't cheated at all. I even lost a lot of money on taxes because I purchased the raw materials myself and didn't have formal invoices."
Lin Yangping spat out a mouthful of tea:
"A lot, how much? 2 billion in taxes in just half a year? This has already made it into the top 100 taxpayers in Huadu City. Is your Lingnan Hall printing money?"
Lin Sanqi said helplessly:
"The World Bank's report that my country's total tax rate is 68%, while the United States' is only 44%, is definitely a rumor and an exaggeration.
But I calculated that it's definitely over 50%. Most of the money companies earn goes into taxes or social security contributions for their employees, which is why so many people take such a risk. (End of chapter)
