Chapter 770, a memorandum
First, let’s say that the alliance’s situation is dire and 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 it was 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, why am I telling you this...can you make the decision? If not, time is running out. If you wait a little longer, 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 direct stipulation 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 time, he can use some of his "ingenuity" to obtain 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 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 felt that Gu Jing was joking and bluffing.
How long has it been? Less than an hour!
There are more than a thousand pages of documents, all of which are filled with various types of data and described in vague terms. Even with an entire analysis team and the help of a servo skull, it will take a long time to read through it, let alone Analyze and refine information.
Gu Jing has finished reading?
Impossible things.
"I know you think it's impossible in your heart, but it doesn't matter, let's talk about it."
"Fake investigations, fabricated data, adulterated reports... Deacon Yang, you are really courageous."
"Oh, I don't know what you are talking about." Yang Shiwei still didn't believe it.
Gu Jing turned a page casually, pointed to the chart above and said: "The statistics on the growth of the textile industry in the Fox Moon Star Region-Snow Fox Star on page 257 are ridiculous. Not to mention whether this data is collected There is always fraud, it It does not match the data on the output value of the alliance textile page on page 456; a similar situation is still in the statistics of Jiang Meiyu Star District, the data on pages 441, 486, and 822 are clearly in conflict..."
< br>
"And..."
Gu Jing clicked on many places in the document one after another. Everything he said was true and the coverage was very large. He could find faults in almost every dozen or twenty pages. It was not like he was lucky and happened to see that part of the content. , and then point out problems when they encounter them.
In fact, Yang Shiwei himself was not clear about many of the issues Gu Jing mentioned here. It was impossible for him to memorize more than a thousand pages of content!
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 completely read the document and completed the detailed analysis.
Yang Shiwei even recalled how Gu Jing was frowning all the time.
Where is the anxiety and where is the uneasiness?
That is obviously thinking!
It’s just that the efficiency of this thinking is really too high!
That is definitely not a level that normal humans can achieve.
But when I think about it, the father of this young man, Gu Jing, is the famous Gu Hang, the top psyker in the empire. It seems reasonable that Gu Jing, as his son, has inherited some spiritual talent.
Psykers are so miraculous that it is no surprise that they have any abilities.
But in short, this Gu Jing is by no means as useless as he thought.
It is true that he is a young man, he is also young, and it is true that he may not have experienced many things and has not enough experience... 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 just talk nonsense here. It's simply incomprehensible!" Yang Shiwei didn't want to continue chatting or staying any longer, but of course he didn't What will you admit with your mouth.
He continued to say to Gu Jing: "I am very disappointed in you! You are not here to solve the problem at all. Telling you so much is a waste of time,"
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Even as he spoke fiercely, he did not stop moving his hands. He quickly sorted the documents on the table, stacked them all together, and wanted to pick them up and leave.
Gu Jing pressed one hand on the document.
"This is evidence of fraud by the audit team you led. You can't take it away casually."
Yang Shiwei held Gu Jing's wrist with his other arm and huffed out - his arm had been completely transformed and was a fine workmanship made by a master. Its instantaneous power could even rival that of a Space Marine.
He moved Gu Jing's hand away, pulled out a thick stack of documents with thousands of pages, and then used force to push the young man back several steps. He snorted coldly and prepared to turn around. leave.
But the next moment, a powerful, invisible force suddenly emerged from Gu Jing's body, hitting Yang Shiwei hard like a shock wave.
Yang Shiwei was knocked to the ground by a wave of air, and his hands could no longer hold the documents.
But the documents that should have been scattered on the ground were lifted by invisible forces and flew slowly 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 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 it is to attack a central official of the empire? You are committing treason!"
"Treason?" Gu Jing had already arrived in front of him, "Since you mentioned it, let's talk about treason. I also have a document here. Does it look familiar to you?"
Following Gu Jing's words, a stack of papers flew out from the briefcase behind his original author's chair, suspended in front of Yang Shiwei, and opened the pages one by one.
At the beginning of the period, Yang Shiwei continued to maintain the anger on his face, but when he had no choice but to see the content, his expression quickly turned to panic.
"This...you...can't be...how did you know?"
"The Senior Deacon of the Empire's Central Taxation Department has had a total of 11 organizations with the state church, the central chamber of commerce, local chambers of commerce, and local governments... and has conducted illegal transactions for a long time, assisting them to purchase bulk goods at low prices from the paid imperial taxes. To fill the gaps in the imperial tax, they used inferior products, even falsely reported the amounts, made false accounts, and smoothed the process. Over the past 15 years, the empire had lost a total of 800 billion tax coins. "
"This is fake! Fiction! It's your forged account book! Your attempt to frame me will never succeed!"
"Oh? Are we framing you?" Gu Jing's expression did not change at all, "That's really a pity. Next, I will publish this document and propose that the Alliance Legal Department and the Empire's Central Legal Department jointly set up a review Team, let’s see if there is really something wrong with this set of documents.”
Yang Shiwei's face became very ugly.
Gu Jing observed it and smiled: "Look, you don't seem to be willing to make it public. I think so. The data, accounts, and flows in this document are all very detailed. The data can withstand scrutiny and there are no contradictions. The source of every data is very clear, and the source of each data has at least two traceable controls and persons in charge. This document of mine is much better than the one you made.”
Yang Shiwei's face was ashen.
There is no need to refute.
Because these are indeed true, he did them all.
Of course, it is impossible for him to make 800 billion in these 15 years. This much money was earned by many families together. Some are people he can't refuse; some are people he turns a blind eye and gets some benefits on the way.
This is normal. Your alliance can make money from the spread of imperial tax pricing, but I can’t?
Of course you can!
This money is not just earned by me! 800 billion! Even if Yang Shiwei had a huge appetite and courage, he would not dare to eat so much.
What he earned himself, let alone 800 billion, even 80 million is far from it.
However, this matter cannot be put on the table.
If he brought it up, would he dare to reveal the people from each family that he could not refuse?
He said it and that was it!
Even Xu Fuzhen can't protect him - even Prime Minister Xu Fuzhen may be the one who wants him to die the most!
His eyes turned into a pleading look, and his lips pursed. He wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Gu Jing understood.
He shook his head slightly and said: "It's okay not to make it public, but I also have a memorandum here. Come and sign it."
Another document flew in front of Yang Shiwei.
He looked, his eyes turning horrified.
"No...no, if I sign, my future will be over..."
"Indeed, but you have to choose a way to die." Gu Jing was cold and ruthless.
