C166 A Brilliant Game

After the two of them chatted for a while about their own difficulties, they could not help but sigh. They felt that it was too difficult to live. Everything was not going according to their wishes, and they could not help but feel a trace of melancholy and helplessness at the same time.

After a moment, Fan Wenbin smiled and revealed his true purpose. "Old classmate, I invited you here today because I have a very urgent matter that I want you to help me with. " When he said this, his gaze was tightly focused on Gao Yeyong's face, as if he wanted to find out whether Gao Yeyong was willing to sincerely help this time.

From the first day that the tax officers entered Hua Cheng Group, especially the county tax bureau chief, Wu Zhenshan, as the inspection team leader, Fan Wenbin keenly realized that the situation was not good. Someone reported the news of Huacheng Group's tax evasion, and the tax bureau specifically came to check the accounts.

He was very clear about Wu Zhenshan. In the past, he had been very close to him, calling him brother and being very intimate. However, ever since he wanted to buy a cheap building and was rejected, he rarely interacted with him. Every time they met, they would always be polite. At least until now, the two of them had not shed all pretenses of cordiality.

Hence, when the fake news was flying everywhere, Fan Wenbin also figured out the relationship between Gao Yiyong and Wu Zhenshan. Today, he called Gao Yiyong. The purpose of this old classmate was to invite this old classmate to come forward and see if he could ask Wu Zhenshan to be magnanimous and let him off. As for the reward, of course it was very generous.

It was indeed for the matter of fraud and tax evasion. Seeing Fan Wenbin reveal his true intentions, Gao Yiyong also smiled slightly. He thought to himself that this old classmate of his was very meticulous. He actually figured out the relationship between him and Wu Zhenshan, who was his biological cousin.

"Why, did you find out the problem?" After a moment, he wore an unexpected smile on his face, and asked even though he knew the answer, and said in a mocking tone, "Is it possible that Huacheng Group is suspected of tax evasion, and they were caught by the tax bureau and could not pass the pass?"

Now, many companies used both the real and the fake financial accounts, especially private companies. This phenomenon was very serious. Some companies even signed Yin-Yang Contracts in order to muddle their way through and achieve the goal of paying less tax or not tax.

Gao Yiyong was very clear about this point. He just did not expect that the Huaxu Group, which was rich and powerful in the eyes of the world, would also play this trick. In the end, it turned out to be a scam. They did not steal the chicken, but they ate the rice instead. In the end, they were the ones who cheated themselves.

Actually, before coming to Hua Cheng Group, Da An County had already spread this news widely. It was said that Hua Cheng Group had been tax evasion for the past few years. This time, the county tax bureau moved into the company to settle old debts and new debts, making Fan Wenbin unable to bear the consequences.

Seeing Gao Yiyong expose the truth with just one sentence, Fan Wenbin also laughed bitterly and explained, "Sigh, old classmate, it's too difficult to start a company. It's still because we were forced into a corner by the matter that we had to come up with such a strategy. "

Then, he sighed again, and said helplessly, "But in the end, we didn't catch the fox, and instead, we got into trouble. We were really unlucky. " As he spoke, he sighed again and again. He looked miserable.

It was very difficult for private companies to survive. If they wanted to develop and strengthen themselves, it would be even more difficult. Gao Yeyong was very clear on this point. There were many small private companies in Mei Beach Village. In the past year, he had also known many small bosses. When it came to the difficulty of earning money, they all complained about it. It really matched the old saying that money was hard to earn, and shit was hard to eat.

However, what good ideas did he have? In the market economy, what mattered was survival of the fittest. Every company, regardless of size, state or private, had to abide by the law of the jungle. As for the outcome of the competition, it would depend on their own strength, wisdom, means, and the ability to transform the world.

Seeing Gao Yiyong smiling and staring at him, Fan Wenbin complained again. "Old classmate, you have been working in the government department all this time, so you don't understand how difficult it is for us, the so-called bosses, to be in front of others and be in front of others. To tell you the truth, you don't laugh. You sleep later than a dog and wake up earlier than a chicken. It's too difficult.

If he had known that so many bad things would happen to him in the future, even if he had been beaten to death back then, Fan Wenbin would not have ordered the chief accountant of the company, Xu Chang Qin, to work overtime and make false accounts overnight. He was truly a wise man who would do stupid things like digging a pit for himself when he was muddle-headed. He was truly a fool.

During this period of time, especially since he had been elected as the president of the Daan Chamber of Commerce, he had committed some evil and bad things, one after another, which had made his head several times bigger. According to his wife, Duan Xiangmei, she was always confused and confused, as if she had not woken up.

Last night, after dinner, Duan Xiangmei casually asked about the tax check of the county tax bureau, and also asked if Huacheng Group had tax evasions. Because in school, she had more or less heard some rumors in the past few days, which were very unfavorable to her husband and Huacheng Group.

Seeing his wife ask such a question, Fan Wenbin coldly glanced at her, turned his head and ignored her, and did not say a single word to defend himself. Duan Xiangmei's words caused him to be filled with displeasure.

On the day before the tax officers entered Hua Cheng Group, his son, Fan Xuehua, came to Hua Cheng Group with a mysterious appearance, and he wanted to borrow money again. Furthermore, he was asking for an exorbitant price, and he wanted to borrow two million from her. Fan Wenbin was so angry that his face suddenly sank, and he fiercely reprimanded his son in front of him.

When he saw that his father not only did not borrow money, but also put on a fierce appearance, his words were fierce, and his expression was fierce, which was unprecedented. Fan Xuehua was slightly stunned, and he did not dare to mention the matter of borrowing money again. He turned around and ran away, and then he vanished without a trace.

After that, Zhang Ling called Fan Wenbin and told him, the future father-in-law, that Fan Xuehua's university student, Xu Deen, did not develop a complete e-commerce platform and a third party trading platform after burning all the cash in Vanguard.

Finally, three days ago, he left without saying goodbye. Now, not to mention seeing someone, even his phone had been switched off. He would not be able to get through to it even if he was beaten to death. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. He was so anxious that he was in a state of panic. Hua Tuanwu spun around chaotically. He was on the verge of going crazy.

After listening to Zhang Ling's narration, Fan Wenbin could not help but let out a long sigh. He thought to himself, 'What I said. . . ' As expected, it had come true. His classmates were classmates, but in the business world, they might not be the most ideal partners.

When Xu Deen first entered Vanguard, his son used the work of Tencent's boss, Ma Huateng, and his high school classmates to prove that his cooperation with Xu Deen and the development of the e-commerce platform were very correct and could be completely successful.

Seeing his son speak like this, Fan Wenbin shook his head and secretly thought that his son was too naive. He had already stepped into a complicated society and was even the boss of Pioneer Company. He actually used the student's thinking to do things. In the end, he would definitely suffer a loss.

However, since his son had just come out of the cottage, he had fired his first shot and established his position in the Daan Computer Industry. He did not have a good time to say anything in order to avoid hurting his son's motivation and confidence. He only reminded him tactfully and did not ask about his son's matter anymore.

It was common for father and son brothers, colleagues, relatives, and even friends to turn against each other for money and benefits in real life. It happened all the time, just like the "All-Access Six Gentlemen" back then. It was very rare to see them getting together and leaving.

In the early 1990s, the economy of Hainan faced its first low tide. Pan Shiyi had to give up the brick factory and return to the sea. During his drifting days, he got to know Feng Lun, Wang Gonggong, Liu Jun, Wang Qifu, Yi Xiaodi, and others. They jointly established Hainan's Wentong Company, known as the "Wentong Six Gentlemen. "

During the first time they defined the interests of the partners, Pan Shiyi, Feng Lun, and others adopted the Jianghu style of lining up seats in the mountain and river. "The seats are orderly, with no difference in profit. " That was to say, although there were differences in roles, the benefits were evenly distributed.

However, as time passes, Wentong Company continues to grow and expand. This kind of management structure of Mount Liang is also becoming more and more prominent. The conflict between these few people also deepened day by day. Furthermore, it gradually surfaced and reached a point where it had to be resolved.

Four years later, in March 1995, the Six Gentlemen broke up for the first time. Pan Shiyi, Wang Qifu, and Yi Xiaodi chose to leave, and in 1998, Liu Jun chose to leave. In 2003, Wang Gongquan also chose to leave. At this point, Wan Tong completed the transformation from six people to one person, Feng Lun.

From the first breakup to the final departure of Wang Gongquan, the six gentlemen were increasingly accepting and approving of this exit mechanism. After breaking up, they all achieved their own wonderful things. Feng Lun, Pan Shiyi, and Yi Xiaodi became the big crocodiles in the real estate world. Wang Gongquan became a famous venture capitalist, and Wang Qifu and Liu Jun also established their own businesses in other fields.

In the business history of China after the reformation and opening of the world, the "All Six Gentlemen" incident became a good story. At the same time, it also gave all the partners a vivid reality lesson and sounded the alarm.

Later, Feng Lun recalled that when Pan Shiyi sent our lawyer's letter in the beginning and pointed out that he would sue us if he disagreed, Wang Gongquan and I felt very awkward. Just like traditional Chinese people, we thought that it was "too disrespectful. "

However, as time went on, it became more mature and rational. In the end, when Feng Lun and Wang Gong Quan broke up, he only asked Tian Yu to testify. He even saved the lawyer fees. Between the two of them, one hand handed over the check and the other hand signed. It was very simple.

In the cruel Shang Hai, anything could happen at any time. Pan Shiyi, Feng Lun, and other big shots in the business world who were known as the "Six Gentlemen," finally, because of their own interests, they had no choice but to break up. Although this kind of breakup was very dignified, it completely reflected a very rare kind of modest gentleman demeanour.

However, that was still in the 1990s, and it had been almost 20 years since then. Today, in the era where everyone wanted money to go crazy, those classmates who had a very strong relationship with each other in university, when they collaborated to start a business, could they still maintain a very strong relationship with each other in front of money?

Today, this kind of thing happened in his son's company. The moment Fan Wenbin hung up Zhang Ling's phone, a trace of a cold smile appeared on his face. Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, but when they grew horns, they were afraid of wolves. Son, you should also have a taste of the sweetness, bitterness, and numbness that reality sent into your mouth.

At this moment, seeing Fan Wenbin pour out the bitter water, Gao Yiyong could not help but think that the big boss of a listed company that was once admired by countless people in the past had actually become a victim with no place to complain about. It could be seen that he had indeed reached the point of being at the end of his rope.

After a while, he interrupted and said, "Old Fan, in this very realistic society, everyone's life is not easy. " Then, he asked, "Just tell me directly, how do you want me to help you on this matter?"

When he said this, he already knew what Fan Wenbin meant. However, due to his former classmate's feelings, Gao Yiyong did not want to reject him directly. Instead, he adopted an even more ingenious attitude. Very quickly, it proved that this kind of rejection method was indeed very brilliant.

In high school, he, Fan Wenbin, and Ning Peng stayed in the same dormitory for a whole three years. Between them, there was nothing that they could not talk about. When they graduated, they naturally became very good classmates and friends.

At that time, regardless of whether it was the city or the countryside, the living conditions were very poor, and the students' lives were even more bitter. Among the three of them, Ning Peng was a city person, and his family conditions were the best. However, this did not hinder them from becoming the best classmates and friends.

"It's still my old classmate who knows my heart. " Fan Wenbin smiled slightly and said very calmly, "As far as I know, you and Wu Zhenshan are biological brothers, and your relationship is also very good. Can you ask him out and let us have a meal together?"

In the business world, inviting people to a meal was a very common form of communication. Besides contacting each other, it was also the best time to discuss and trade with each other. This point, in this very traditional relationship society in China, Gao Yi Yong Fan Wenbin was very clear about it, and he was very familiar with using it.

As I expected. Gao Yiyong also smiled slightly, picked up his phone, and dialed Wu Zhenshan's number. He first greeted him, and then asked in a very warm tone, "Cousin, is it convenient tonight?"

When he was making the call, he consciously pressed the speaker button. Fan Wenbin could clearly hear the other party's voice. The reason why he did this was to let Fan Wenbin understand that Gao Yong valued the relationship between his classmates very much and sincerely helped him.

"Cousin, I have something to do tonight. It's not convenient. " On the other end of the phone, Wu Zhenshan said with a slightly apologetic tone, "Cousin, you know that I have been investigating the Hua Cheng Corporation's accounts these few days. This afternoon, the bureau leader called me to report the situation to my face tonight. I really can't squeeze out the time.

Gao Yiyong turned around and looked at Fan Wenbin, who was concentrating and listening attentively. He did not speak. As he continued listening to Wu Zhenshan's words, he thought to himself, 'I can't decide whether to help or not. I still need Wu Zhenshan, the team leader, to nod and speak. '

"Cousin, I appreciate your kindness. I'm very sorry. Let's meet another day at the River Gazing Tower. When the time comes, I'll treat you to authentic Sichuan hotpot. I'll do as I say.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yiyong spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture. Then, he said in a helpless tone," Old classmate, did you hear that? It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't.

What Wu Zhenshan said was heard without missing a single word. Fan Wenbin's heart was startled, and he thought to himself, Before the accounts are settled, the leader of the tax bureau wants Wu Zhenshan to report the situation. It seems that the matter of Huacheng Group tax evasion has escalated.

After a few days, he heard his son Fan Xuehua say that this was actually a trap set up by Gao Yong and Wu Zhenshan in advance, and he wanted to use this method to reject his request. Doing so did not affect the relationship between classmates, but also very cleverly rejected the request. Killing two birds with one stone, it was indeed very clever.

But at this moment, seeing this scene, Fan Wenbin could only sigh heavily in his heart. He smiled bitterly and thought, since that's the case, he could only give up. Whether it was fortune or misfortune, he had already done his best. Whether it was fortune or misfortune, it could not be avoided. As for the rest, he could only leave it up to fate.

Seeing this, Gao Yeyong also sighed and said something very warm to the heart, "Old classmate, isn't the tax bureau just fining a few bucks? When the time comes, you just have to pay up. What's there to be anxious about? It was useless to be anxious. It was not like the sky would collapse. As long as he's alive, that's for the best.

After sending Gao Yong away, Fan Wenbin sat in the empty CEO's office for a while. Finally, under Zhao Yu's concern and urging, he walked out of the Hua Cheng Corporation headquarters building with a very melancholy and heavy heart. At this time, it was already time for the lanterns to light up.

He didn't want to drive. He just wanted to walk in the biting cold wind. He wanted to clear his head. However, he had only walked a few steps. He heard someone behind him call out, "Little Fan, Little Fan. " He turned around to look. Seeing that it was Yao Guanqun, he could not help but smile bitterly. He casually asked, "Teacher Yao, are you out for a walk?"
