Chapter 788 Alliance Counterattack 5
·Mexel's method is very operational from a neutral perspective. For example, countries and governments only obtain the qualifications of game administrators in the country and region. The management, control and ownership of the entire game are still blue aurora. What's more important is that blue aurora is still the rulemaker of the entire virtual world.
However, Chen Feng, the chairman of Blue Aurora, actually doesn't want Blue Aurora to continue to grow smoothly. He is even more worried that after this method is implemented, Dark can reach all aspects of the entire real world deeper and endanger the safety of all mankind.
When Chen Feng was talking to Karina and Messel, he did not avoid his cousin Zhao Xiaoyu. Therefore, Zhao Xiaoyu also listened to it. After Chen Feng hung up the phone, she asked with concern: "Is there something wrong with the company in Xianggang?"
Chen Feng did not hide it, and told her about the matter roughly.
Zhao Xiaoyu frowned slightly and said angrily: "Huateng International is now the top ten financial consortium in the world. Xianggang Zhengfu did this because he really wanted to force it away. Moreover, it didn't care about your face at all. It was a bit too much for them to do so. According to the truth, the Chief Executive with a bow tie should inform you about this matter in advance. Now the whole world knows that you are the boss behind Huateng International. As a result, he didn't call you and immediately investigated Huateng International, and he didn't take you seriously at all."
Chen Feng said fairly: "Someone has informed us about this before the Xianggang Zhengfu side, but he didn't expect that the Independent Commission Against Corruption would come so soon to investigate the tax evasion in Huateng International."
Zhao Xiaoyu snorted coldly: "You are still a little weak. I heard you just now that you want Huateng to be investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. I think you don't have to do this at all. As long as you stand up and speak for Huateng, go back directly, or contact the media to accuse the Independent Commission Against Corruption and Xianggang Zhengfu, do you think they still have the courage to do this? Not to mention, Huateng's financial system is very good, and the tax payment records are the same. Even if Huateng really has some problems, they shouldn't be so generous. As for the words just now, they didn't take you, the richest man in the world, seriously."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Zhao Xiaoyu said with a cold face: "Stand out directly, hold a press conference, and then criticize this matter, saying that Huateng has suffered unfair treatment and malicious suppression. He also said that he is considering moving out all his industries in Hunan Port."
Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, "What you said makes sense, but I can't do it now. If we say so now, it will only make the evacuation work difficult. It's better to wait until Huateng International has completely evacuated before making it public. And if you do what you said, it will be like completely forcing the Hunan Port Government Axe to the opposite side."
"It's not that they are pushing them to the opposite side, but they are now in your opposite side. You respect the other party, but the other party completely disrespects you. Especially the Chief Executive Zheng Quan with a bow tie, he seems to have never invited you to the Concierge House as a guest since he took office last year, and he doesn't seem to have contacted you on his own initiative. This time you have achieved such great achievements in the Olympics, and he doesn't seem to have said much good things about you in public."
As Chen Feng's agent, Zhao Xiaoyu is of course very clear about Chen Feng's affairs. Including Zheng Quan's chief executive, he has not taken the initiative to invite Chen Feng to his home for more than a year, or has actively awarded Chen Feng any honors. Those who don't know will definitely ignore the fact that Chen Feng is actually registered in Hunan and Hong Kong.
Chen Feng explained to Zheng Quan: "He contacted me by phone and invited me to the Concierge House through Messel, but I didn't like him very much, so I naturally refused his invitation even if I didn't say a few words to him. Maybe after this, he felt a little resentful to me. This is also a normal human nature."
Zhao Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Why haven't you told me about this?"
Chen Feng smiled wryly and said, "What's there to say about this? I was originally a member of Hunan Port, but I actually lived in Xiuzhou. At the Olympics, I also represented China, not Hunan Port. The last Chief Executive commended me for this, but I refused. So, Zheng Quan saved this time. In other aspects, I actually didn't put too much attention and enthusiasm into Hunan Port. Even for Huateng Entertainment, my god brother Yang Tianming has been taking care of it."
Zhao Xiaoyu insisted: "Anyway, Zheng Quan has a prejudice against you now. So this time, the Independent Commission Against Corruption investigated Huateng, and he did not notify you in advance or apologize to you, but directly ordered a search. If it were not for his order, I think the Independent Commission Against Corruption would not have such courage to investigate the headquarters building of the world's top ten financial consortiums, and he would not have the courage to investigate the industry under the name of your richest man in the world."
"Okay. I admit that Zheng Quan has a prejudice against me. In fact, I also have prejudice against him. Although a Chinese man is completely dressed in Western style, he still has a bow on the collar every day, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Moreover, over a year after he took office, I have not seen how much he has made in governing Xianggang. Instead, he is a bit extravagant and wasteful. After entering the Concierge House, he used 300,000 public funds to build a koi pond, which raised nine-tailed fish. Among the nine-tailed koi, six are Japanese breeds, and three are from the mainland. Raising koi is his personal hobby, but using public money to consume, obviously constitutes a crime of misconduct by public officials."
"With your influence, you can mobilize all forces to get him off the stage. This is also a powerful response to him."
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "There is no need for this. In fact, he should have been on order this time, at most he is just a pawn."
When he said this, the knock on the door sounded and the camera was finally sent.
The two paused the chat. Chen Feng went up and placed the camera on the stand, adjusted the angle and parameters, and planned to start shooting the video statement.
Just as Chen Feng was standing in front of the camera and was about to start talking, the ringtone of the cell phone rang. Chen Feng had to pause the shooting, took out his cell phone and looked at it, but unexpectedly found that this was Zheng Quan's number.
Chen Feng hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Hello, Zheng *shou." Chen Feng first spoke in Cantonese.
"Hello, long." Zheng Quan's voice sounded gentle, and then continued with a little embarrassment, "You should know the reason why I called you this time. Huateng International was investigated by the ICAC, and I just learned that. Xianggang is a society ruled by law. Even the Chief Executive cannot interfere with the ICAC's independent case handling. They did a very confidentiality and did not report this to me in advance. They did this in accordance with the established procedures. First, they received reports from someone and provided more detailed evidence. The ICAC secretly filed a case and started investigating. Therefore, it was not until now that they led the team to search Huateng International that ICAC had received the report. But no matter what, I should apologize to you. I was unable to coordinate with your company and you in advance."
Chen Feng naturally only listened to Zheng Quan's words. He didn't believe that he had not received any news in advance, or that the Independent Commission Against Corruption did not report to him in advance and was waiting for his permission. After all, the target of this case was Chen Feng and Huateng International, both of which were not ordinary characters. They were enough to cause global explosion news. If the Independent Commission Against Corruption handled the case independently and was brave, it would be impossible to deliberately hide the incident from Zheng Quan, the Chief Executive and the Supreme Leader.
"If I want you to help withdraw this case now, can you do it?" Chen Feng was silent for a while and asked directly.
Zheng Quan obviously didn't expect Chen Feng to ask him so directly. After a while, he said embarrassedly: "This... this matter is now semi-public, and some well-informed media have already known it. As the Chief Executive of Xianggang, I really don't know how to openly favoritism. I'm really sorry... However, I believe that Huateng International cannot do tax evasion. It's just that this matter has been semi-public. Only through the impartial and open investigation by the ICAC can we truly return Huateng International's innocence. Do you think this is the reason?"
"Haha, you should be very clear that our Huateng International's holding company is an offshore company, so if you really want to talk about it, Huateng International is not a pure Xianggang company, at most it is just a branch in Xianggang controlled by a foreign-funded group. You must be clear that we can withdraw this branch at any time."
When Zheng Quan heard Chen Feng's words, he was shocked and said quickly: "Long, please listen to me. You have definitely misunderstood the investigation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. This investigation is just a routine matter. Well, I have learned about it specifically, it is like this: the Independent Commission Against Corruption received a report from ** Financial Company about half a month ago, they provided some more detailed financial information about your Huateng International, which involved some methods of tax avoidance by Huateng International. This reasonable tax avoidance is completely legal in my personal opinion. But still the same sentence just now, Xianggang is a society ruled by law. Even if I am the Chief Executive, what I say cannot represent the law. Everything must be judged by the court and the law. But I believe that in the end, the court and the law will not judge Huateng International to be established. You can rest assured that this is."
Zheng Quan's words not only revealed some inside information, but actually gave Chen Feng a full hint. That is, this case is just a formality, and the court will definitely not sentence them to tax evasion.
But this is obviously not what Chen Feng wants. Originally, Huateng International was just evading taxes reasonably, so what's wrong with this? Companies all over the world, especially those large companies, are doing this. What's more, Huateng International is doing a financial consortium that pays a large amount of hundreds of millions of taxes to the Hunan Port government for free every year, it is even more natural to evade taxes reasonably.
But now the Independent Commission Against Corruption is going to investigate such a company that is a model of tax payment in the same industry, and indirectly damages the reputation and dignity of the company boss Chen Feng.
To put it bluntly, it is: Why should I have a mockery with you? Do you think I can bully me?
"Okay. I understand. Huateng International will be ready to respond. President Karina has now rushed to Xianggang to deal with this matter. But you should also know her nickname, the financial female tsar, so sometimes she may be more extreme when doing things, such as in turn, she will file lawsuits against the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Xianggang government, and may also suggest that all the industries under my name be moved away..."
"Long, this is really a misunderstanding." Zheng Quan interrupted Chen Feng anxiously and kept explaining, "The Independent Commission Against Corruption's investigation into Huateng International is just a established procedure in laws and regulations, and it has no intention to target you; let alone they did not report this matter to me in advance, and I have made severe criticism of them. After this matter, I will punish the relevant persons responsible for this case as the Chief Executive. I can personally assure you that similar incidents will never happen again in the future..."
Huateng International itself has brought hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue to Xianggang Political Axe in one year, not to mention that Huateng Entertainment and Huateng News, which it controls, have directly and indirectly created at least 500,000 and 600,000 jobs for Xianggang.
Just one Huateng International withdrawal would be enough for him, the Chief Executive, to be in pain for a while, not to mention that his political enemies would use it to criticize or even impeach him.
If Huateng Entertainment and Huateng Newspaper are also withdrawn, then it goes without saying that what awaits him is impeachment and quit the ranks.
Of course, Zheng Quan did not want to see the day when he was impeached and ousted. At the same time, he was also very reluctant to offend Chen Feng, a world richest man and super star who has a deep background in the mainland and has a huge influence internationally in Hunan Port.
"Thank you for your guarantee, but at present, what I care most about is the tax evasion investigation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption on our Huateng International. In short, this incident made me very disappointed with the Xianggang Zhengfu."
"On behalf of Xianggang Zhengmao, I am really sorry. This is just a misunderstanding. I promise you that there will be no problem."
Zheng Quan was really worried that after this incident, he would force Chen Feng and Huateng to leave all the companies related to him. Therefore, his speech became more direct and guaranteed to be more straightforward.
But the same thing is said, this is not what Chen Feng wants.
"Thank you again for your promise. However, no one can tell you what will happen in the future. I'd better pass the moment before talking. I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you for the time being. Say that first, goodbye."
"Long, please wait..."
