Chapter 207 Playing dumb
After everyone finally quieted down, Mr. Meng looked at Meng Yitong and asked seriously, "Do you know how much trouble your words yesterday brought to the Meng family?"
"Really? What did I say yesterday?" Meng Yitong pretended to be confused and pretended to be stupid.
She came here with a purpose this time, and of course she couldn't confront Mr. Meng head-on.
When Mr. Meng saw Meng Yitong's look, he frowned and signaled to Second Aunt Meng to tell him what happened yesterday in detail again.
Although he knew in his heart that Meng Yitong was pretending to be stupid, she was married after all, and her husband was the heir of the Qin family.
The current Meng Yitong is no longer the person he could scold at will.
Feeling depressed, Second Aunt Meng could only helplessly repeat what Meng Yitong said yesterday.
This is the third time she has talked about this matter since last night.
If talking about this for the first time with my husband and eldest son was an emotional catharsis,
The second time she talked about this matter with Grandpa Meng, Aunt Meng made up a story and tried to embellish the matter with her own words. Allow the audience to resonate with you emotionally.
The third time, Aunt Meng felt as if she was suddenly a little numb. After mechanically telling the story, Aunt Meng suddenly felt bored.
Second Aunt Meng's voice was too flat, and Meng Yitong couldn't tell for a moment what really bothered them.
It was Meng Yitong's confused expression that made Mr. Meng, who had originally believed that Meng Yitong did it on purpose, a little confused.
The originally serious voice began to soften slightly.
"Do you know what the consequences of what you said yesterday will be?"
The same question was asked a second time, but this time it was much gentler.
"What consequences? What consequences could there be? This is what I usually do!"
As Meng Yitong spoke, she took out her mobile phone, opened her Cloud Audio account, and found the homepage of the Qin's Charity Foundation.
After clicking on a work, Meng Yitong handed the phone to Mr. Meng.
Mr. Meng, who was originally a little confused because of Meng Yitong's actions, disappeared after he took the phone.
After reviewing dozens of works in a row, Mr. Meng realized that he seemed to have wronged his child before.
Her intentions were not bad, but this way of doing things was indeed not suitable for the Meng family.
After Mr. Meng handed the phone to Uncle Meng, who had been looking over his shoulder, he considered it for a moment before speaking again, "Your method is not suitable for the Meng family."
Mr. Meng now feels that Meng Yitong may not really understand what is going on here.
After all, no one taught her these things since she was a child.
So it’s better to tell her some things clearly.
“Where doesn’t it fit?”
As Meng Yitong spoke, she walked forward and snatched her cell phone from Uncle Meng's hand.
It's fine to show this thing to Grandpa Meng, but as for Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng, let's just forget about it.
Uncle Meng, whose phone was taken away just after he read the beginning, frowned, took out his phone and started searching.
Although he didn't see much content just now, he still saw the account name.
Just after searching for the account and before he had time to take a closer look, Uncle Meng's phone was taken away by the person next to him.
Uncle Meng had no choice but to lean forward and sit next to Aunt Meng to read.
When Mr. Meng heard Meng Yitong's question, he frowned, raised his chin towards Meng Yuansi and said, "Yuansi, come and talk to Yitong, what's wrong with doing this."
Hearing this, Meng Yuansi immediately raised his head and said loudly: "First of all, if we do charity work in a high-profile manner, we need to be scrutinized by more people."
"Any slight omission in this process will be magnified infinitely."
"And according to what you said yesterday, you want to register a separate charity account for the Meng family. Who will operate this charity account in the future? What will the operation content be?"
After Meng Yuansi finished speaking, he looked at Meng Yitong with a serious expression, as if he was judging her.
Meng Yitong opened her eyes wide upon hearing this and exclaimed, "What does this mean? Did the Meng family never do charity before?"
"Isn't that possible?"
Meng Yuansi and others, who had just been speaking righteously, were instantly stunned by Meng Yitong's question.
Although everyone doesn’t think that the Meng family doesn’t do charity, what’s the problem?
But under Meng Yitong's surprised eyes, everyone suddenly had no way to admit this matter with a clear conscience.
Finally, Uncle Meng coughed and explained, "Our Meng Group has signed a tax payment agreement with the government and must pay at least 10 billion in taxes every year."
"If we can't reach this amount, we will also need to pay on the scale of 10 billion."
"So we don't need to use charity to avoid taxes."
After Uncle Meng finished speaking, he was afraid that Meng Yitong didn't understand, so he explained: "Most of the other companies that do charity want to reduce certain taxes through this."
Meng Yitong immediately acted as if something had suddenly dawned on her when she heard this, and said with emotion: "Oh! So that's how it is! No wonder the Qin family allocates so much money to the charity foundation every year!"
Uncle Meng, who had been speaking confidently just now, was instantly choked by Meng Yitong's words.
Although they were reluctant to admit it, Uncle Meng and others also knew that the Meng family and the Qin family were incomparable.
Not to mention the scale and background of the two business groups, just looking at the main business of the two companies, the Meng family has no ability to fight against the Qin family.
Compared with the Meng family's traditional businesses, the Qin family is engaged in industries related to cutting-edge technology.
The profit point of this part is much higher than that of traditional enterprises.
This also led to the fact that their Meng Group not only could not compare with the Qin Group in terms of group size and profits, but even its tax rate was far behind the Qin Group.
What's more, after paying all taxes in full, the Qin Group can still allocate corresponding charitable funds for public welfare according to the annual tax amount.
Compared with the Qin Group's operations, the Meng Group's structure does seem very narrow.
Mr. Meng, who had been so calm before, could only say: "The situation of the Meng Group is different from that of the Qin Group. The Qin Group has hundreds of years of foundation and has benefited from the country's dividends over the years."
"As the leading family-owned enterprise in China, Qin's Group naturally has to shoulder more social responsibilities."
"Our Meng Group is still in the process of transformation and development, and we are not able to spare the time to carry out those public welfare projects for the time being."
"What you said yesterday posed a big problem for us."
At this time, Mr. Meng had no intention of teaching Meng Yitong a lesson at all.
He could see that Meng Yitong didn't quite understand many things here.
She is now completely applying the Qin family's way of doing things to the Meng family.
Mr. Meng didn't blame her for this.
After all, when Yi Tong was in the Meng family, no one taught her these things.
She only began to truly come into contact with the core content of the family after she married into the Qin family.
Thinking of this, Mr. Meng couldn't help but look at his eldest son.
