Wang Guozhong was ashamed of water and sneered: "Sorry, I received the salary paid by the state." I don't know how much tax the Fanhan Group pays. I only know that I serve the people, not the capitalists. In fact, it is you capitalists who are causing trouble for us and wasting government expenses..."

“15.4 billion.”

"Um?"

"I said the total tax payment of Fanhan Group last year was RMB 15.4 billion."

Zhou Shuo said coldly: "China's fiscal revenue in 2000 is 1339.5 billion yuan, of which Fanhan Group's profits and taxes account for more than 1%! Last year, China's total GDP is 9921.5 billion yuan, while Fanhan Group's turnover is 139.2 billion yuan, or more than 1% of the total GDP in the country! Among them, Fanhan Group's total exports to the United States last year were US$2.3 billion. If we lose the US market this year, the loss will exceed 20 billion yuan!"

Zhou Shuo curled his lips and snorted, "That's fine, we still lose 20 billion yuan. But this is just a conservative estimate of 2001. If we follow the current popularity of the Internet and wireless communication networks, we will lose more than 30 billion in 2002. Within five years, our losses will increase to a scale of 10 billion US dollars per year!"

"Ah!" Wang Guozhong swallowed, shook his head muffled, "What are you kidding? Your company provides 1% fiscal revenue and 1% GDP. Why have you never heard of it in China?"

Zhou Shuo looked at him contemptuously, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "Because I can earn money from foreigners. Why do I have to compete with my compatriots in China?"

"Fanhan Group's exports last year were more than US$8 billion, and its foreign investment made more than US$2.5 billion. This alone exceeded US$10 billion in revenue. Domestic business is mainly concentrated in the electronics manufacturing industry, and the annual turnover of the chip foundry business alone exceeded RMB18 billion. The turnover of LCD display panels is 8.9 billion..."

"Do you understand now?" Zhou Shuo looked at Wang Guozhong calmly and said, "For every 100 yuan you get, at least 1.5 cents are taxes for our Fanhan Group."

Speaking of which, Zhou Shuo always holds this attitude towards making money. He can be said to be a very protective character. It can be seen from his unremitting investment in the embroidery city. As long as he can make money from abroad, he will make it hard. How good is it to spend it after making money back at home? It is not considered to be a person who earns money from his own people.

Wang Guozhong opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, but instead sweated. Although he was in the North American department, he was not an American, nor did he work in the United States. He lived in the imperial capital, and of course he understood what it meant if a company really provided 1% of government fiscal revenue.

What is the concept of paying 15.4 billion in profits and taxes in 2001? This is roughly equivalent to the level of Sinopec's taxes in 2014 accounting for 2014's fiscal revenue.

Half of the private Sinopec is about, what does this mean? It's a bit scary.

It is not a big deal that Wang Guozhong and the people behind him do not know the size of Fanhan Group. Zhou Shuo's eyes have always been focused on the European and American markets over the years. On the one hand, the Internet market in Europe and the United States is developing faster, and the exchange rate between the US dollar and the euro against the RMB is very high. The RMB is under the pressure of appreciation but does not appreciate. Exports are a very profitable business.

On the other hand, as Zhou Shuo said, what is the point of holding a rat in a nest of guns? To earn money from foreigners is really profitable.

Fanhan Group's turnover of 139.2 billion yuan, at least 100 billion, was earned from the European and American markets. Although the remaining tens of billions of yuan is also eye-catching, it is not so high.

Institutions like the North American Division were only temporarily informed of relevant information after being protested by the United States. Data such as import and export volume and tax scale are not from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Trade and the Ministry of Finance. Where is it so easy to check?

Besides, if the North American Department really conducted a detailed investigation of the Panhan Group, it would not be possible that they would just send two pawns to come. The director himself would have the least respect.

"Cough. Even if Mr. Zhou, you are very rich, you are still a Chinese citizen after all." Xu Liang pretended to cough. He followed Wang Guozhong and said, "The prince violated the law and the common people. No matter how rich you are, you must abide by laws and regulations. Your large-scale manipulation of public opinion has caused a very bad impact!"

Zhou Shuo spread his hands and looked at Xu Liang and said, "I am willing to be responsible for my remarks. If I spread rumors, incite trouble or divide the country, and promote illegal information, I will admit it!"

"Even without these remarks, Mr. Zhou's current behavior is not allowed. Our News Bureau News Selection Group has the power to supervise and regulate this. Before things ferment further, we hope that Mr. Zhou can stop the horse and not continue to make mistakes."

"Oh, I don't know if I have broken the law. Which law did I have violated? Do I need to invite my lawyer to discuss it with you? Don't worry, a well-known law firm in the imperial capital has an annual consulting fee of 8 million yuan, and there is no doubt about its professionalism."

"You!" Xu Liang took a breath twice, calmed down his emotions, and then patiently advised: "Mr. Zhou's current attitude is not good for you. Public opinion is a public instrument, not a channel for you to vent your anger. Confronting our News Bureau is not a wise man. What should I do if such a large-scale social public opinion manipulation is used by someone who is interested? What should I do if it causes social unrest? Take a step back and say that other rich people will learn from you if they suffer a little grievance, and this country will not be in chaos!"

"So, what is this public instrument used for? My Panhan Group employs more than 100,000 affiliated companies, cooperative companies, and upstream and downstream industries involve the survival and interests of tens of millions of people. Isn't this public? If Panhan Group loses the US market and loses tens of billions of yuan every year, do you know how many people will reduce their income and even lose their jobs? If you raise these people, then I agree to change my attitude."

Xu Liang was confused. Even if it was 20 billion yuan, it would be enough to kill the News Bureau...

He is a journalist, and these numbers are basically in his mind. Based on the annual per capita income of 6,000 yuan in urban areas in 2000, 20 billion can support at least 3 million people. In fact, with these 20 billion, not only 3 million people can eat for food? These people also have to consume, and they have to pay taxes. The merchants who take their consumption will also have to pay goods, and the manufacturers have to organize production.

This 20 billion can create at least another 100 billion value in the country.

This Fanhan Group is too rich and powerful, and I can't do this job today! This is the first time Xu Liang has encountered such a thing after working for so long.

Zhou Shuo looked at the two people who were speechless as he said, and suddenly felt bored. He waved his hand and sighed: "Okay, my midfield leisure time is over, you guys go out. Come again next time, remember to find at least one of the same level. You two are not matched and point fingers at me."

Zhou Shuo picked up the teacup, and even looked at the two people whose face turned red when he said, and ordered: "Tang Ya, see off the guests."

Tang Ya, who had been waiting beside her, hurried over and made a gesture of inviting the two. Xu Liang and Wang Guozhong also knew that they had kicked the iron plate this time. If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't had the identity at the beginning, they just took a letter of introduction from the State Council. At Zhou Shuo's level, the two of them would probably not be able to meet each other.

"Let's go." Wang Guozhong shook his head gently and pulled Xu Liang, who was still a little dazed.

The cold wind in February blew, causing Wang Guozhong and Xu Liang to shivered. The two looked at each other and saw a trace of strangeness in each other's eyes.

"Okay, Brother Xu." Wang Guozhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "We both failed to do our job this time, so the department is solely, and we didn't investigate the situation clearly..."

"Old Wang, although we are temporary partners, I will give you a deep word." Xu Liang took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, lit it, took a sip, threw it on the ground and stomped it out. He sighed and said, "Didn't you see it? It's so deep."

"Isn't it deep? Who knew before that someone in China could have such a rich level."

"I'm not talking about the depth of water, but we were both used as gunmen once." Xu Liang patted Wang Guozhong's shoulder and said deeply: "I have been thinking just now, have you heard of a company in the United States that specializes in lobbying for the US Congress?"

"Ha, Brother Xu, have you forgotten that I am from North America? Can I not know about this?"

"Just know, just know." Xu Liang nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "Then you may not know. In fact, there are similar groups of people doing similar jobs in this imperial capital."

"But, this American can do this business blatantly, but China has to do this business quietly."

"And we two, maybe we are the stepping stones thrown by someone, asking for directions..."

hiss--

Wang Guozhong frowned and thought about it carefully. The more he thought about it, the pale his face became. He gradually nodded involuntarily and said, "Brother Xu is right. Now that I think about it, there seem to be a lot of doubts about this matter."

"Okay, we have a chance to partner this time." Xu Liang exhaled and said, "I won't say anything else. After I go back, I will be scolded and stay away from this matter."

"I understand, thank you Brother Xu!" Wang Guozhong nodded with gratitude and tears, watching Xu Liang turn around and leave.

Wang Guozhong looked back at the exquisite Fanhan Research Institute guesthouse behind him, and was slightly ecstatic. Thinking of Zhou Shuo's confident figure, he murmured to himself.
