The Chamber of Commerce is not that easy to defeat. Dulin knows this very well. It can be said that more than 90% of the capitalists in the entire empire are members of the Chamber of Commerce, enjoying the services and conveniences provided by the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time maintaining the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce. status.
He wanted to seize power from the Chamber of Commerce without any reason, just a drunken joke. It was naturally impossible for Dulin to do something that even Mags couldn't do.
But if there are sufficient reasons and means, then it is another situation.
The business atmosphere in Ambiluo State is not strong, which is a good start. The authority of the Chamber of Commerce here is far from being as scary as in southern cities. In addition to creating a gap between capitalists and businessmen, the most important thing is Implementation of criminal acts committed by the Chamber of Commerce.
To sentence the Chamber of Commerce to death morally and legally, and then quickly use the advantages at hand to fill the vacancies left by the Chamber of Commerce and the expelled capitalists, without giving the situation time to further ferment, is Dulin's method.
Of course, he also knew very well that as long as he did this, the Chamber of Commerce would definitely use various methods to force him to re-enter the Chamber of Commerce in Ambluo State.
The death of a male lion is not because its teeth and claws are not as sharp as before, but because he can no longer fight back when faced with challenges.
In order to ensure that the power that does not belong to them is further lost and that Kubal's cabinet has some not-so-good ideas, the Chamber of Commerce will use all the power at its disposal to attack Dulin.
This will lead to an extremely dangerous situation. No one can survive in a capitalist society facing the attacks of the vast majority of capitalists.
However, this is also an opportunity, because as long as they foul, this mighty lion will show a flaw!
In the evening of the same day, Du Lin met with the branch president of the Ambiluo State General Chamber of Commerce who rushed back from the south. According to the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce, under the speaker rotation system, except for the rotating member who was promoted to the speaker and sat in the imperial capital, other members would become branch presidents. Served as branch president for two to four years in some important cities.
The purpose of this is for the Chamber of Commerce Council to prevent lower-level branches from having undue thoughts. After all, the Chamber of Commerce has great power in business, and the "decentralization" of members plays an important role in stabilizing the system of the Chamber of Commerce.
But it is obvious that Ambiluo State is not an important region. In this General Chamber of Commerce, which can almost be called a commercial desert, the branch president is not one of the members, and his deterrence and authority are somewhat insufficient.
A little after eight o'clock in the evening, after dinner, Mr. Schiff, the president of the Ambiluo State Chamber of Commerce, appeared at Dulin's villa.
He looked to be in his fifties, with slightly gray hair, which was thick and meticulously combed.
There are not many wrinkles on his face, his face is red and full of muscles. He looks like he is only in his forties and is very well-maintained.
After all, being able to achieve this position is already at the top of the Chamber of Commerce, only one step away from the core of power. This is why he often goes to the south to recuperate after taking office. There is a wider social circle there, and he needs to be there. Maintain your visibility in the business community.
He was wearing a dark gray formal suit, which reflected his very good mental outlook. Even if he knew what Dulin had done during this period, there was no expression on his face other than a smile.
Du Lin greeted him in the living room, served tea and cakes, and then closed the door.
"Please sit down, Mr. Schiff." Dulin invited him to sit down, and then sat aside. "I heard that Mr. Schiff gave up his recovery and hurried back. Did something big happen?"
Faced with Du Lin's knowing questions, Schiff didn't think this was a strange behavior at all. He had seen people who were more cunning than Du Lin, and this was just a normal conversation.
He nodded with a smile, and then threw out a prepared discard, "That's true. I heard that the manager of the Ambluo State General Chamber of Commerce was suspected of some criminal activities, so I rushed back immediately."
He glanced at Dulin's eyes and continued, "From the clues and evidence obtained by the investigation team, we found that this former colleague may have received bribes from some businessmen and provided these people with some irregularities. of convenience.”
"Currently, this employee has been dismissed from his position. We will sort out the evidence collected as soon as possible and transfer it to the local police station and prosecutors. Regarding such illegal criminal behavior, the Chamber of Commerce has always maintained zero tolerance for such behavior. Attitude!"
Mr. Schiff's words were very simple, and he did not completely characterize the matter. He kept his words to death and used ambiguous terms, leaving himself with the opportunity to choose.
If there are no further changes, in order to appease Du Lin, the Chamber of Commerce will fire the "initiator" and make him accept legal sanctions to vent his anger on Du Lin.
When a branch manager is removed, it is actually an earthquake within the chamber of commerce. There are not many opportunities for middle and high-level people to be treated as abandoned ones, which inevitably makes some people sad. Therefore, the real situation inside the chamber of commerce is definitely not that of them. Acting so calmly.
Dulin nodded, "Abide by the laws of the empire and uphold the fairness of the law. It is worth learning for each of us. In fact, I already have some understanding of your purpose. The problem now is not just a matter of a chamber of commerce manager, but also some Businesses are also deeply involved.”
Shiv was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head slightly to show his listening attitude, "You mean..."
"Resist tax!" Dulin leaned back and sat on the sofa. He stretched out his finger and tapped Schiff. "The Imperial Tax Administration and the Imperial Cabinet requested the reconstruction of the tax system of Ambiluo State. Some companies in the state Knowing that the imperial policies have been updated and changed, they intend to use some shady means to resist and undermine the reconstruction of the tax system. This is disrespectful to the imperial laws, the imperial cabinet and the entire society. "
"At the same time, they have also violated the laws of the empire. Not only must they pay in full all the taxes they owed before, but they must also pay corresponding fines, which are about two to five times the taxes."
"And I heard a theory..." Dulin laughed a few times, which made Mr. Schiff's scalp numb. The laughter was full of malice, but at this moment he could only bite the bullet and listen, "I heard It is said that some insiders of the Chamber of Commerce helped these companies tamper with some data and conceal a number of incomes. I don’t know if this is true... "
The company's annual operating statements will be summarized and submitted to the Chamber of Commerce for preservation. In the end, whether a company is qualified to be listed on the market, as well as some financial investigations that need to be faced after listing, require the Chamber of Commerce to come forward.
Some companies may make some small corrections in their books, but the financial reports and specific data submitted to the chamber of commerce will not be scrawled. This is related to some of their commercial status and the basis for whether they may be listed in the future.
In recent years, the Chamber of Commerce has indeed effectively passed the "Secrecy Law" to ensure the security of this data, so that more people and companies can report real data with confidence.
Dulin's words made Mr. Schiff realize that Dulin's real target was not those companies, but the General Chamber of Commerce.
Anyone who can sit in this position is not too stupid. He has already interpreted Dulin's true intention. Regardless of whether the news he heard is true or not, the only way to explain it clearly is to accept the state government's Or a more detailed investigation by the tax bureau.
But doing so will expose more problems. If the chamber of commerce cannot keep the secrets of registered companies, it will soon be abandoned by entrepreneurs.
But the problem is that Du Lin said this. If the Chamber of Commerce refuses to cooperate with the investigation, Du Lin will be able to launch his next plan.
In just two or three sentences, Mr. Schiff put Mr. Schiff on the fire and played with Barbie.
Mr. Schiff wiped the invisible beads of sweat on his temples and pursed his lips, "Your Excellency, Governor, I am very shocked that there are such rumors. I will immediately ask the investigation team to conduct an internal investigation. After we come to a conclusion, I will report to you as soon as possible.”
Du Lin picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea soup. The smell of petals, dried fruit pulp and some spices mixed together was very strange. "Self-examination?" He touched the rim of the cup with his lips and shook his head. "Self-examination is not enough. This It’s like asking a suspect to conduct a self-examination and then tell others about the results. Without the participation of many parties, I always have doubts about the results of the chamber of commerce’s self-examination.”
Mr. Schiff immediately retorted, "This time we will not use the Ambiro State disciplinary investigation team for self-examination. I will submit what happened here in writing to the speaker's desk. There will be discussions at that time." The disciplinary investigation team under the headquarters of the Federation will inspect the work of our branch. If there is any tampering, bribery or cheating, we will not hide anything. I will let them keep in touch with you at any time and the state government.”
The records inspection team affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce does maintain a very neutral and objective attitude in investigations, and has discovered many problems over the years. However, Dulin believes that when faced with major issues of right and wrong, these people will eventually Will choose a more emotional approach.
What's more, rumors are just rumors and may not be true.
Dulin smiled and said, "I know that you don't let people from the state government or the tax bureau participate in the investigation to avoid some leaks..."
Mr. Schiff nodded repeatedly, "That's true. It's best if you can understand."
"I have a proposal. Since no one from the government or the tax bureau can participate in the investigation team, then I will find someone from among you to participate in the internal investigation. What do you think?"
Although Dulin was asking what was going on, it was not actually a question. Mr. Schiff had already heard a very tough attitude from Dulin, and it might not be appropriate to continue to push him.
Besides, the Chamber of Commerce staff Du Lin named were still Chamber of Commerce staff. As long as they were one of our own, they would know how to choose.
He considered Du Lin's words over and over again, then nodded, "That's absolutely fine!"
