Chapter 770, a Memorandum
First, let’s say that the alliance is in a bad situation and that the situation in the future will be very serious, and then give a short deadline to force people to make a quick decision...
Yang Shiwei's set of combos can be considered smooth, but in fact it is not very clever.
It is nothing more than creating pressure and expecting others to make wrong judgments in a short time window.
But it should be enough to deal with a young man.
Moreover, what Yang Shiwei said left a hole for himself.
He didn't force the child to sign.
He just clearly stated the difficulties and problems, and even emphasized in his words, "You shouldn't come" and "You are not suitable to sign". He just said secretly, "But what if you don't sign?" Something's going wrong.'
The effect he expected was for Gu Jing to rush him to sign. That would be perfect.
Of course, he would not be so naive as to think that the drama he staged was seamless. He doesn't think that by coaxing a child to sign something, he can use it to tell the alliance that you must fulfill the contract.
The only person who can truly make his signature effective is Gu Hang; to say the least, it is at least a senior official of the alliance who Gu Hang clearly has the document authorization to do.
Gu Jing neither held a sufficiently convincing high-level position in the alliance nor received explicit authorization from his father, so he signed things without counting them.
This is not a feudal force. Even if everyone regards Gu Jing as Gu Hang's successor, without formal appointment and legal principles, it doesn't count.
But no matter what, Gu Jing has a special identity. This time he was specially sent to do the delivery, and he has a professional identity.
Although they were not persuasive, what he asked Gu Jing to sign was not really a document that settled the tax payment.
He made it very clear that it was a 'memo'.
At this point, in order to reduce some of the psychological pressure on Gu Jing to sign, he specially made additional explanations when he saw the young man frowning.
"This is not a formal agreement or agreement. It does not mean that after signing it, it will be implemented according to this. You do not have that power yet. This is a memorandum, an informal document, a substitute for the explanation of the alliance investigation, as an imperial tax The special tax officer of the Ministry of Finance, that is, me; and the person in charge of the alliance’s imperial tax work, this year it is you. As the top officials currently responsible for tax handover in Lingze Star, the two of us jointly signed and acknowledged the current situation factors. "
"The most you can do with this document is that you take one copy back and I take one copy back to give a supplementary explanation of the current situation."
"If the original documents are submitted, the alliance's annual tax amount will be set at more than 5 trillion. According to the instructions in our memorandum, the recommended tax amount is only 2500 billion."
"Damn it, why am I telling you this...can you make the decision? If not, time is running out. If the time comes, it will be too late!"
Yang Shiwei is still increasing the pressure on Gu Jing.
What he said cannot actually be considered wrong. It is just a memorandum, it does not have a direct agreement effect, and it is not a formal agreement.
But it's not as simple as just recording it, as he said.
What was recorded was signed by the name of Gu Jing, who had a special status and was indeed the current person in charge of taxation on Lingze Star for the alliance. Even if it was not a formal agreement document, when the negotiations were formally conducted later, this This memorandum will also become the empire's sharpest weapon.
What is sharp about it is not the proposed tax of 2.5 trillion, but the determination that the alliance needs to pay annual taxes based on 10% of the total output value to normalize the alliance and deny the fixed tax in the "Alliance Plan". content.
If Gu Jing really signs, the alliance will be very passive later on.
That means that the Alliance has acknowledged part of the contents of the memorandum to a certain extent. If they want to overturn it later, the price they have to pay will probably be very high - it may even never be overturned. The central government of the empire will always hold this memorandum to speak out. .
At that point, Yang Shiwei's task was considered to have been completed brilliantly.
Tax renegotiation with the alliance will not be completed overnight. The subsequent negotiation process may be protracted.
He received the task of negotiation from Xu Fuzhen, but he was very clear about his position. He was here to test and establish an outpost.
For such a big thing, the real contenders in the follow-up are the 'big shots', Prime Minister Xu Fuzhen, Prime Minister Gallardo, Prime Minister Luo Fei, Chairman Gu Hang, and even Prime Minister Qi Bodu. Who is he, the senior deacon? Even if he has been promoted to the deputy minister whom he has longed for, he is considered a top official in the eyes of others. At this moment, he can use some "ingenuity" to get a document that will be very beneficial to the empire's central government in subsequent negotiations. Made great achievements.
After returning, no one can say that he did not do well.
Now, all he had to do was have Gu Jing sign his name on the document.
Looking at the young man's frown, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
How about thinking of another explanation and forcing him again?
Yang Shiwei was about to open his mouth when he saw Gu Jing's brows widening. He picked up the pen from beside the document and turned it between his fingers very skillfully.
"you……"
Yang Shiwei just opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Gu Jing.
"I've read all the documents."
"Have you just finished reading eleven pages?" Yang Shiwei snorted, but a bad feeling came to his heart.
"No, it's all of them." Gu Jing slapped his palm on the pile of more than a thousand pages of documents.
Yang Shiwei thought Gu Jing was joking and bluffing.
How long has it been? Less than an hour!
More than a thousand pages of documents, all kinds of data, vague wording, even if there is a whole analysis team, plus the help of the servo skull, it will take a long time to read through, let alone analyze and purify the information.
Gu Jing finished reading?
Impossible.
"I know you think it's impossible, but it doesn't matter, let's talk about this matter."
"Falsified investigation, fictitious data, adulterated reports... Deacon Yang, you are really brave."
"Hehe, I don't know what you are talking about." Yang Shiwei still didn't believe it.
Gu Jing flipped a page and pointed to a chart on it and said, "The statistics on the growth of the textile industry in Fox Moon Star Region-Snow Fox Star on page 257 are ridiculous. Let alone whether this data was falsified when it was collected, it does not match the data on the output value of the textile industry on page 456 of the Huisuan Alliance; similar situations also occur in the statistics of the Jiangmeiyu Star Region. The data on pages 441, 486, and 822 are clearly conflicting..."
"And..."
Gu Jing pointed out many places in the document in succession. Every word he said was true, and the coverage was very large. He could find problems almost every ten or twenty pages. It didn't seem like he was lucky and happened to see that part of the content, and then pointed out the problems when he encountered them.
Even many of the problems mentioned by Gu Jing here, Yang Shiwei himself was not clear.
It is impossible for him to memorize all the content of more than a thousand pages!
At this point, no matter how much Yang Shiwei thought it was impossible, he had to admit that Gu Jing really looked like he had read the document completely and completed the detailed analysis.
Yang Shiwei even recalled how Gu Jing had been frowning before.
Where was he nervous or uneasy?
He was clearly thinking!
But the efficiency of his thinking was too high!
That was definitely not something a normal human could achieve.
But considering that the father of this young man, Gu Jing, was the famous Gu Hang, the top psychic in the empire. It seemed reasonable that Gu Jing, as his son, had inherited some psychic talent.
Psychics are so magical that it is not surprising that they have any abilities.
But in short, this Gu Jing is definitely not as useless as he thought.
He is a young man, and he is young. He may not have experienced too many things and his experience is not rich enough... However, there is such a thing as a "genius" in this world.
Yang Shiwei has completely lost interest in continuing the conversation.
"Enough! I've heard enough of your ridiculous accusations. You know nothing about the data in the report and you're talking nonsense here. It's totally incomprehensible!" Yang Shiwei didn't want to continue chatting or staying, but of course he wouldn't admit anything.
He continued to say to Gu Jing: "I'm very disappointed in you! You didn't come here to solve the problem at all. It's a waste of words to say so much to you,"
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!
While speaking fiercely, his hands didn't stop moving. He quickly sorted out the documents on the table, stacked them all together, and wanted to grab them and leave.
Gu Jing pressed one hand on the document.
"This is the evidence of the fraud of the audit team you led. You can't take it away casually."
Yang Shiwei held Gu Jing's wrist with his other arm and breathed out - his arm had been completely transformed, a fine product made by a master, and its instantaneous output could even be comparable to that of a space warrior.
He moved Gu Jing's hand away, pulled out a thick stack of thousands of pages of documents, and then pushed the young man back several steps with a force. He snorted coldly and was about to turn around and leave.
But the next moment, a powerful, invisible force suddenly emerged from Gu Jing's body, like a shock wave, and hit Yang Shiwei hard.
Yang Shiwei was knocked to the ground by a wave of air, and his hands could not hold the documents.
The documents that should have been scattered on the ground were lifted by an invisible force and slowly flew towards Gu Jing.
Yang Shiwei wanted to get up from the ground and continue to fight for the documents, but he felt like his body was tied up, tied to the ground, unable to move.
He could only stare at Gu Jing with a pair of angry eyes, and growled: "Do you know what crime it is to attack the central officials of the empire? You are committing treason!"
"Treason?" Gu Jing had come to him, "Since you mentioned it, let's talk about treason. I also have a document here, do you know it?"
As Gu Jing spoke, a stack of papers flew out of the briefcase behind the chair where he originally sat, hovering in front of Yang Shiwei, and turned over page by page.
At first, Yang Shiwei continued to maintain the anger on his face, but when he had to see the contents, his expression quickly turned into panic.
"This...you...impossible...how did you know?"
"The senior deacon of the Central Taxation Department of the Empire has been engaging in illegal dealings with the State Church, the Central Chamber of Commerce, the local chamber of commerce, the local government... a total of 11 organizations, helping them to purchase bulk goods at low prices from the already paid imperial taxes. To fill the gap in the imperial taxes, they passed off inferior goods as good ones, or even falsely reported numbers, made false accounts, and smoothed out the process. Over the past 15 years, the Empire has lost a total of 800 billion tax coins."
"This is fake! Fictional! It's your forged account book! You will never succeed in framing me!"
"Oh? Are we framing you?" Gu Jing's expression did not change at all, "That's a bit regrettable. Next, I will publish this document and propose that the Alliance Legal Department and the Central Legal Department of the Empire jointly form a review team to see if there is really a problem with this set of documents."
Yang Shiwei's face became very ugly.
Gu Jing noticed it and smiled: "Look, you don't seem to be willing to make it public. I think so too. The data, accounts, and transactions in this document are very detailed, and the data can withstand scrutiny and there is no contradiction. The source of each data is very clear, and even the source of each data has at least two traceable references and responsible persons. My document is much more than the one you made."
Yang Shiwei's face turned pale.
There was no rebuttal.
Because these are indeed true, and he did it.
Of course, he himself could not have made 800 billion in these 15 years. So much money was made by many companies together. Some of them were people he could not refuse; some were people he turned a blind eye to and took some benefits by the way.
It is also normal to do so. Your alliance can make money with the interest rate spread of the imperial tax pricing, so why can't I make money?
Of course it is possible!
This money is not only made by me! 800 billion! Even if Yang Shiwei has a big appetite and a big courage, he dare not eat so much.
What he earned himself, let alone 800 billion, is far from 80 million.
However, this matter cannot be put on the table.
If he brings it up, would he dare to expose the people he couldn't refuse one by one?
If he did, he would be finished!
Xu Fuzhen couldn't save him-even Prime Minister Xu Fuzhen might be the one who wanted him dead the most!
His eyes turned into a pleading look, his lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but couldn't say it.
Gu Jing understood.
He shook his head gently and said, "It's okay not to make it public, but I also have a memorandum here, you come and sign it."
Another document flew in front of Yang Shiwei.
He looked at it and his eyes became horrified.
"No... No, if I sign it, my future will be over..."
"Indeed, but you have to choose a way to end it." Gu Jing was cold and ruthless.
