King of Gossip

Chapter 491 Endless Darkness

If you start a company, you tell people who know this industry that you don't evade taxes, and everyone will laugh to death, or you say you are stupid, and if accounting firms all over the world have met you like this, they would have starved to death.

No matter in which corner of the world, corporate tax evasion is the norm, and the main job of accounting firms is actually tax evasion for large and small companies around the world, not the company's financial accounting and so on, because those businesses are not profitable at all, or those can only make a living.

Sony Records is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and it is a super-large company, and the amount of tax evasion is naturally huge. However, the President of the United States does so, so, this has become a conventional rule. In addition, the whole Institute of Certified Public Accountants is followed by super big companies such as Rockefeller, Roosevelt, Morgan and so on. The family constitutes a chain of interests that is enough to make the world tremble. As long as Sony Records gives enough money to give, it is legal.

However, there is a premise, that is, the so-called legal, just like a safe deposit box. He only keeps the data for you and doesn't let people know it. However, if you actively disclose the information of the correct data to others, even if you don't take the data from the safe, others can prove it through other means. The correctness of some data, then, in order not to involve more trouble, the safe will no longer keep the data for you.

As Tommy Montola, he is a protected object, but he told Chen Jin all the information. Even if the Roosevelt family's accounting firm does not provide relevant information, through relevant departments such as taxation, the evidence of Tommy Montola's tax evasion can be found.

Naturally, the Roosevelt family will not fight against Chen Jin for Tommy Montora. Even if the strength of the Roosevelt family can easily help Tommy Montora escape everything, it is not in line with the principle of interest at all.

However, Chen Zichen just said that the Roosevelt family doesn't like to make a big deal, which means that he doesn't want Chen Jin to extend the war to Sony Records after dealing with Tommy Montora. Sony Records' predecessor is Columbia Records with decades of history, which involves a lot, no matter. Whether it's for the Roosevelt family or the whole interest chain, it's a big impact. As a last resort, everyone hopes to live a peaceful life. Anyway, they make a lot of money.

This is said when Sony Records temporarily strongly supports Tommy Montora, but Chen Jin doesn't believe that the huge Sony empire led by the smart man Akio Morita will be stupid enough to maintain a small Tommy Montora.

Now Sony doesn't know that it is Chen Jin's side to deal with Tommy Montana, but this matter can't be concealed. Big people always have information channels, and even this, the words tax evasion are enough for Sony to make a choice.

Tax evasion is the norm in the United States, but ironically, taxpayers represent a very sacred and noble title and identity. If you pay taxes, you will contribute to the country. Nadona is small, but there is a difference in economic strength, and its essence is the same. I remember that there is an overseas film, the protagonist's will before his death: there is no need to write those false titles on his tomb, just write taxpayer XXX. It can be seen that the three words of taxpayers are in the eyes of Westerners.

Therefore, in the eyes of Westerners, there is no essential difference between tax evasion and killing and arson, which is an abhorrent criminal act. Once a public figure is exposed to have evaded taxes, his credibility will be discredited. It is difficult to maintain his good social image.

Tommy Montola's future can be expected, and it can even be expected that Tommy Montola knows too much of Sony's inside story. In order not to let this guy bite back, Sony is afraid that it will urge this matter to be solved quickly and effectively. This is why Chen Jin said that Sony will be the first to beat the drowning dog, which is also the most normal. Do things in a good way.

The next morning, Tommy Montana, who had hardly slept all night, had not figured out who wanted to frame him, or that he didn't have much time to think about this. He spent almost all his time working with his former little lover, the media, and all kinds of bigwigs, thinking about getting through the crisis in front of him as soon as possible. Go.

In the luxurious office, after his own efforts and Sony, things finally seemed to have a turnaround. Tommy Monto, who relaxed a little, could no longer hold on. He was so tired that he lay on the table and fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, the door outside rudely pushed open to someone and made a loud noise. It's the president's office. Who is so bold?

Looking up, the short Japanese had walked to him a few steps, threw a stack of newspapers in front of him with a crack, and looked at him coldly. This time, he did not swear, but sat down quietly.

But Tommy Montola scanned the headlines on the front page with his sleepy eyes, and a cold sweat fell down - the president of Sony Records was suspected of tax evasion, amounting as much as tens of millions of dollars.

The article fiercely criticized his tax evasion behavior as a public figure and a senior manager of a super-large company. What's more, there are several examples of his tax evasion. All the details are very detailed, as if they were seen with his own eyes, and these are just the biggest ones he has done in recent years. Several times, there were more than eight million US dollars.

Tommy Montana is really unbelievable. No one knows about this except himself and then the handler, and the handler wears a pair of trousers with him, which is all damaged.

However, he is not allowed to think too much now. The Japanese knocked on the table, looked at him coldly, and said faintly, "I don't know who you offended, but you should know now that you have fallen this time."

"Next, I will announce the company's decision that the company will break up with you peacefully. All of this has nothing to do with the company. At about 9:00 a.m., the company will hold a press conference. I want to inform you first to make you mentally prepared."

Peaceful breakup means to get together and break up, but it is also a warning that individuals should not burn the fire on the company. Tommy Montana is really angry and anxious now. His usual dissatisfaction with this little Japan has quickly reached its peak. "Peaceful breakup, Mr. Takeda, there are two things above that are the first two of the company. The New Year's affairs are done together. As long as you check it a little, the company can't escape.

Mr. Takeda interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Since the company's affairs are not posted, the company will have a way to wipe out this matter." The meaning is very simple. If they don't log in, it is actually an attitude. Sony naturally knows how to do it.

Without the back support of Sony Records, Tommy Montola's dependence is almost two-thirds of the same. Hearing Takeda's answer, Tommy Montola seemed to have abandoned the whole world. He sneered: "Japanese, you should know that this company is up and down. Even I know that if you turn your face and don't recognize others like this, aren't you afraid that I will say something wrong?

"Fack." Takeda was also very angry. He was still helping the boy yesterday. He woke up from the phone to the president this morning. He was so angry, but he knew that it was useless to be angry. Sony Records had been brought into the ditch and could not sink it again, otherwise he really couldn't climb out. What he had to do now was to ease things temporarily, but he didn't expect that Tommy Montola was ignorant. Of course, this was understandable. Whoever got to this point wanted to bite whoever he caught desperately. He turned around and his fingers were about to poke Tommy Montola's face, with a ferocious face, gritted his teeth, evil. He said fiercely, "Remember, if you say something wrong, I will let you stay in it for the rest of your life and make your life worse than death. If you don't believe it, you can try it."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Tommy Montora, who was left like a wooden chicken, sat on the big chair. He was a little stupid and a little regretful. He is now at the end of the mountain. He wants to bite Sony Records. It's not impossible, but he also has to bear the anger of Sony Records. He is used to being a big man, and naturally knows that it is bigger. BOSS's energy, unless he really kills his life, does he dare?

If you didn't say such a thing before, you can break up peacefully. At least you can get some secret assistance from Sony Records, such as news, but now there is nothing left.

He was angry and annoyed, and his heart was uncomfortable, especially Tommy Montora, who was not too broad-minded. However, he chose the right way at the first time and immediately picked up the phone to call everyone on his relationship network.

However, yesterday's perfunctory, today, directly turned into a refusal, and there was no discussion at all. Even a few guys who were in the same stream with him also flashed words. It was not until two people said that he had offended the big man, and no one could help him this time, that he suddenly realized.

He still regarded things as a little simple before, but without tax evasion this morning, who would have thought so deeply? Besides, he is confident that he has not really sinned a great man, because although he is narrow-minded and bad-tempered, he knows how to pretend to be a grandson in front of those real bigwigs. Son.

Of course, he doesn't pay much attention to Chen Jin. On the one hand, Chen Jin is a Chinese he despises. On the other hand, he is the president of a company. In his opinion, Chen Jin is more like a little talented little white face, but there are enough talented people in the world, especially people like him, and they have never seen it. Less.

If you find the root, you have to start from the root and offend the big man. Then try to communicate and strive for forgiveness. However, when he asked who he offended, he didn't get any answer. It's not that he didn't tell him that this thing happened too short, and the big man who really knows it is not for the time being. Any information will be revealed, so as not to make any extra news.

In the middle of the corner, something more serious happened. The door of the president's office was pushed open again, and four guys in suits and leather shoes came in. The one in front of him didn't wait for him to speak. He first took out his work permit and said, "Mr. Tommy Montola, right? I'm the Los Angeles tax in California. Howard of the Tax and Criminal Investigation Division, we suspect that you have evaded taxes and evaded taxes many times between 1986 and 1995, please go back with us to assist in the investigation.

In the United States, those sentenced to prison for tax evasion range from 300,000 US dollars to 2 million US dollars. This is a matter of sentencing, and the laws of each state are not the same. The United States is not like our China. Although the constitutional * law is unified, each state has its current laws.

In California, the original example was former football superstar Lamanado, who evaded 35,000 US dollars and was sentenced to one and a half years in prison, while Tommy Montola is now involved in the case for more than $.89 million.

From the time Takeda just said that he was asked to sit in it for a lifetime, Tommy Montora understood the end he might face. Seeing that the people of the Tax and Criminal Investigation Department came so quickly, he was even more heartless. After a long time, he asked, "Mr. Howard, can I ask you who I offended this time?"

Howard looked at him jokingly. By the way, he liked to deal with these big shots the most. Although he had such a thing for so many years, he sat down slowly and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tommy, it's not that I don't tell you, because I don't know, but it's a person who is said to follow The relationship with the White House is very good.

What this guy said was half true and half false. In fact, he didn't know what was going on at all. However, he also heard some news that some bigwigs related to the White House were a little dissatisfied with this unlucky guy. As for the reason, he was naturally taboo.

Rumors have always become more and more outrageous. In Howard's ears, I don't know how many times the news has been spread. Think about it, he is just the head of the investigation department.

Tommy Montora didn't know whether it was true or not. He was stunned. He couldn't remember why he offended the bigwig in the White House. He looked at Howard again and saw that he was gloating. He knew that the person arranged by the other party did not let him drill loopholes. It was useless to say more. He picked up the phone and called his lawyer. A phone call.

Things are not a fluke, and the speed of change is overwhelming. From the sex scandal of public opinion to the protagonist of tax evasion that everyone spits, Tommy Montola has experienced the process from heaven to hell in just two days.

Moreover, the next day, Sony Records announced that it had officially fired him. At the same time, when he was still lucky, in the interrogation room of the Tax Crime Investigation Section, a pile of evidence of his tax evasion was clearly placed in front of him, and it was impossible for him to quibble.

Perhaps, what made him collapse most was that he was locked up in the detention center at the first time. No matter how powerful his lawyer was, no matter how much money he was willing to give, he did not have a chance to go home. The other party obviously blocked all the roads, and there was endless darkness waiting for him.
