"Then what do we do? Are we just going to stand by and watch? Although the scale involved is not very large yet, if we let it go, more and more people will definitely do the same thing."
The Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then slowly began to speak.
"In the example I just gave, the contract stated that it was a mutual gift, which means both parties have to agree to this arrangement. We only need to get one party on board, understand?"
"No, Minister, so many people are exploiting loopholes. It's unrealistic for us to deal with them one by one."
"Cough cough..." The minister almost choked on his tea. "Baka! Why don't you go find the other party?"
"Oh, I see, it's a great deal!"
The Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry looked up at the ceiling helplessly. Could he really get anything done by sending someone like this to negotiate? If this guy wasn't the Prime Minister's illegitimate son, how could he have let him into the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry?
But that's fine too. If he can't reach an agreement, then I can go and give the Prime Minister face.
There's an old saying in China, oh right, it's about "saving a collapsing edifice from ruin!"
Wow! The culture of the Celestial Empire is truly profound and extensive!
Subsequently, the Prime Minister's illegitimate son, Anbei Zhanglang, was instructed to contact Zhang San, the head of the Xiaorizi office of Huasuan Payment.
"Hello, this is from the Department of Economy and Industry of Little Life."
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"That's right, we now suspect that someone is using your payment platform to evade taxes."
"Wait, are you mistaken? Someone is using our Huasuan Pay to evade taxes? We can't even deposit money into Huasuan Pay, how could they evade taxes?"
"Ah, this..."
Anbei Zhang Lang was stumped by the question. Yes, even Huasuan Pay can't be used for direct currency transactions, so how can they evade taxes? No, no, the minister has already given him an example; they are covering for each other.
So he explained in detail the tricks of those tax evaders.
As a result, the other party replied with just one sentence.
"I don't know."
Anbei Zhang Lang was completely dumbfounded. Oh no, what should I do? The minister didn't teach me!
Isn't the agreement to cover for each other and give each other gifts? But now one party is directly saying they don't know anything. What should be done?
Zhang San was speechless. He had thought a formidable opponent had arrived, but it turned out to be a simpleton. Who would ask such a question? Who could admit to that?
Anbei Zhang Lang immediately apologized.
"Hi, it was our mistake. We'll go and check the situation right away."
Then, the call was disconnected.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lang from Anbei rushed off to find the minister.
"Minister, Huasuan Payment says they are unaware of this matter."
"How did you ask?"
"I just asked him directly if he knew anyone was evading taxes through HuasuanPay."
The minister's lips twitched.
"If it were you, would you answer 'Do you know?'"
"Oh, I see, Minister, you mean they lied!"
The minister closed his eyes and said, "That's enough. Let it all be destroyed. I'm tired."
"Watch closely, I'll only demonstrate once!"
The minister took Anbei Zhang Lang's phone and dialed the number he had just dialed.
"Hello, this is the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Little Life."
"I don't need a card, thank you."
The call ended abruptly.
Anbei Zhang Lang looked at the minister and said, "You're showing me this?"
"Ahem, that was an accident."
This time, the minister was more cautious and dialed the number from the landline.
"Hello, this is the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Little Life."
"There are no houses to rent out."
The call was disconnected again.
Anbei Zhang Lang looked at the minister again. "That's it?"
The minister was getting a little anxious. "Don't I have any pride?"
So he called again, and as soon as the call connected, he quickly said...
"Don't hang up yet, I really am from the province of small-scale economic development, I need to talk to Huasuan Pay!"
Thankfully, I didn't fail this time.
Zhang San knew that it would be impolite to hang it up again; things shouldn't be done more than three times.
"Oh, so it's the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. I've been getting so many nuisance calls lately, it's driving me crazy. By the way, can you report this problem to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry?"
"Uh, no."
"Which department should I report this to?"
"It's probably the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications."
"Oh, okay, I understand, thank you."
"No need to be polite..."
Before the minister could even finish saying "You're welcome," Zhang San hung up the phone again.
Wait a minute, something's not right. I called to confront them, how did it turn into automated customer service?
Damn, do the Chinese have "The Art of War" etched into their very bones?
So, under Anbei Zhang Lang's strange gaze, he dialed the number again.
This time, however, the other party was already on another call.
To ease the awkwardness, Zhang Lang from Anbei took the initiative to speak.
"Um, Minister, the other party is probably calling the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to file a complaint."
"That should be the case. I'll call back later. You can go ahead and do your work."
Anbei Zhang Lang walked out of the minister's office.
Turns out I'm much better than the minister. The minister spent ages on the phone, but couldn't even get to the point. I may not have had a successful conversation, but at least I did!
Hmm, I'm such a genius! It seems I might be able to covet the position of Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry in the next term.
With that thought in mind, Zhang Lang from Anbei strode back to his office with an air of indifference.
After Zhang San managed to fool the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, he didn't call the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, but instead called Lin Chen.
"Boss, I'm Zhang San."
"Zhang San, every time I see your name, I always have this strange feeling that I'm about to go and start operating a sewing machine?"
"ah?"
"It's nothing, let's get down to business."
"Oh, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry just called me to ask about my tax evasion. I managed to brush it off, but it looks like they won't let it go."
"This is so unreasonable. It's not like we're the ones who are cheating and evading taxes, so why are you asking us?"
Zhang San's lips twitched. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen his boss as shameless as him.
So, is shamelessness the key to success?
"But we are on someone else's turf after all, and we are afraid that they will do something shameless."
"That's true, after all, it's just a normal life. What shameless things haven't we done? The thing I hate most in my life is shameless people."
Next time they call, tell them you'll check on it, and then wait ten days or two weeks before making a decision.
"Oh... what about ten days or half a month later?"
"Ten days or half a month later, they said that our system could not determine whether the other party was conducting a commercial transaction. After all, once the money is recharged into Douyin coins, how the user uses it is the user's freedom, and we have no right to interfere."
