Asha has a queer face.
"Mr. Lin, I am an official of the European Union and a doctor of law. I can accuse you of obstructing judicial justice for your conduct." Said Issa.
"Ha ha, but this is not Europe, it's Libya, isn't it. And I'm just asking you in my personal name, and I don't have any ultra vires. You can say it or not. I will never force you. " Lin fengxiao said.
Asha turned her lips. If this is not Libya, not in Gaddafi's bedroom, she is too lazy to pay attention to Lin Feng. But Lin Feng is a distinguished guest invited by his father Gaddafi, and this time Gaddafi invited Lin Feng to come, she has nothing to ask for. Aisha is not good either. She refutes Lin Feng's face too much, so as not to destroy his father's plan. After thinking about it, I can only reveal a little.
"Mr. Lin, as for the unfair competition law, because the economic situation of the European Union is not very good, except for Germany, the economies of other countries are on the decline, especially Greece and Iceland. So the EU has always been concerned about the impact of foreign companies on the EU today. Because your "Dingdang" involves overseas purchasing, it has great potential in tax revenue. In particular, many Chinese goods, even Western goods, can be remitted from abroad by private. Because the amount of a single item is too small, and this is a personal mail, it is difficult to pay the corresponding tax. In the past, the flow was small, and the EU did not pay attention to it. At present, more than 10000 products from all over the world enter the European Union through your Dingdang website every day. The EU's tax losses are at least hundreds of millions of euros a year. " Aisha analysis said.
Lin Feng frowned.
"In fact, the EU is not only investigating your" Dingdang ", but also Amazon, Starbucks, Google and other companies. You companies are all involved in tax issues. And your "Ding Dang net" because its business volume is biggest, bear the brunt therefore Asha explained.
"But the profit of my" Dingdang "is the lowest. Although the number is large, the profit is very small, and a large part of it belongs to C2C transactions, which are the previous transactions between individual sellers and individual buyers." Lin Feng explained.
"On this point, the tax authorities will not recognize it. On the contrary, they will think that your company is evading taxes. Once there is sufficient evidence to prove it, they will impose heavy penalties on you." Aisha said, "the overall economy of the European Union is not good. All countries have been trying to find ways to raise their national income in terms of taxation. Your companies are famous, but they have very little tax. Starbucks, for example, has generated 3.1 billion pounds of revenue in the UK alone in the past 14 years, but its tax payment is only 8.6 million dollars, which is far less than its turnover. And Amazon, which has sales of more than 1 billion euros in the European Union, pays only 1 million euros in taxes. There is also Google, which only paid more than 3 million euros for its tens of billion euro sales on the ground of loss. " Aisha shakes her head with disdain on her face. "These companies can do anything for their interests. Tax evasion and tax evasion are heartless!"
Lin Feng turned his mouth. It's an exaggeration that all of us have come out of our conscience. Even if these companies really try their best to evade taxes, it's not as if they are heartless.
"Mr. Lin, in the west, if you commit a crime, it can also be said that you are impulsive. If you deliberately evade taxes, then in the west, the government will treat you as the biggest enemy of society, because your behavior will destroy the construction of society and lead to the survival of the country." Said Asha coldly.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. However, in the west, tax evasion is indeed regarded as the biggest enemy of society and the country. Because a country depends on taxes to maintain. If there is no tax, then the country will not be able to sustain, and everyone evades taxes, then the country will eventually collapse.
"Well, what should I do now?" Asked Lin Feng.
"Regularize operation and pay taxes according to law. Nowadays, the scale of online transactions is getting larger and larger, and the amount involved each year is tens of billions of dollars. According to the prediction, the amount of online transactions in the future will exceed 100 billion dollars. This is a huge market, but there are huge loopholes in its tax revenue. Whether it's Dingdang, Amazon, or other companies, they have attracted the attention of the European Union. The only way your company can save itself is to pay taxes according to law! Otherwise, once you have the evidence, you will face heavy punishment! " Said Issa.
"But most of my sales in the EU are from ordinary sellers. I just provide the platform, and I provide the platform for free. " Lin Feng asked.
"That's your problem. In short, if your goods enter the EU, you have to pay taxes. Of course, it is impossible for the EU to pay taxes on individuals. It can only find you. That's the problem with Amazon. " Said Issa.
"How did Amazon solve this problem?" Lin Feng asked.
Asha shook her head.
"This involves Amazon's trade secrets and the EU investigation report. I can't tell you. I'm a lawyer. I've broken the rules by telling you so much. I can't tell you any more. " Aisha said, no longer pay attention to Lin Feng, turned away.
Lin Feng shrugs helplessly, looks at Aisha's back and shakes his head. Fortunately, I expect to stay here for a day or two, but I still have time.
Then, under the arrangement of the maid, Lin Feng went to bed in the guest room. The next day, at Gaddafi's warm invitation, after having a very Libyans breakfast, Lin Feng went with Gaddafi to cut the ribbon on his statue.
The port of Tripoli, the largest port in Tripoli, has an annual throughput of more than 60 million tons. It transports Libya's natural gas, oil and other materials to the outside world, in exchange for food, machinery, building materials and other materials.
In the central square area of the port, there stands a statue covered by red cloth. Gaddafi and Lin Feng are standing under the statue at the moment, looking at the cheering hot crowd around, Gaddafi is making a speech with enthusiasm.
"All the citizens of Tripoli, all the citizens of Libya, today, we have invited Mr. Lin Feng, the most distinguished guest in the world, from China." Gaddafi took the lead in clapping, and there was a lot of crazy applause around.
Lin Feng's eyes swept around for a while and faintly laughed. This Gaddafi, like the domestic, used the army to order passers-by to applaud. This is really "China". Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be so many people clapping here. No matter how famous you are, you can't be famous in any city in the world. It's impossible to welcome such crazy applause here.
"Mr. Lin Feng, he is the richest man in the world, he is the father of games, he is an IT giant, he is our friend of Africans, he is also our friend of Arabs!" Gaddafi cheered, "let's applaud for the arrival of Mr. Lin!"
The applause rang out again.
Lin Feng also applauded helplessly. This applause is too fake, Lin Feng has never seen such a desperate applause.
"Today, I'm here to build a statue made of pure gold for Mr. Lin. this is to thank Mr. Lin for his dedication to the African people and for his running into the Internet world. Now let's invite Mr. Lin to unveil the golden statue! " Gaddafi said aloud.
Lin Feng nodded to Gaddafi, then pulled the red cloth, then pulled it hard, and the red cloth fell. A golden statue of Lin Feng with a high proportion of real people appeared in front of the public, in the middle of the port of Tripoli. The statue adopts the shape of Lin Feng on the top of the "light of the century" building. The sword points to the distance and the eyes are shining. Different from the shape of "the light of the century" Na Linfeng, this pure gold statue is inlaid with two huge black diamonds in its eyes. The dark light is shining in the sun. It's frightening and dazzling.
Lin Feng couldn't help exclaiming at the moment.
"President Gaddafi, it really cost you!" Lin Feng exclaimed. I'm afraid that such a statue will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The volume of Lin Feng is about 0.65 cubic meters, and the density of gold is 19.26 grams per cubic centimeter. The total weight of this statue made of pure gold is about 12519000 grams, equal to 12519 kilograms, equal to 12.519 tons. According to the current market price of gold, about 150 yuan per gram, 12.519 tons is 1.87785 billion yuan, about 235 million US dollars.
That's just the value of the statue, which is about $235 million, not counting the two black diamonds in the eyes of the statue. Among diamonds, black diamonds are the most mysterious and expensive. Lin Feng doesn't know how heavy they are, but at least the two black diamonds are worth no less than ten million dollars. So, Gaddafi spent 250 million dollars on this statue.
It's really big. Not only that, such a valuable statue is in the harbor, but also in the middle of the square, which naturally requires a lot of soldiers to be on duty, otherwise it may be stolen at any time. This investment is really big.
"Ha ha, although the statue is a little expensive, it's very cost-effective in my opinion. Because Mr. Lin, your contribution to the African people is worth so much in return. You are the best friend of our African people Gaddafi laughed. "Of course, we are also friends of the Arab people."
Lin Feng smiles, but he is extremely alert in his heart. Gaddafi spent a lot of money to build such a statue for himself, not just for contribution, he has other requirements, just don't know what Gaddafi is asking for( It's not finished yet.
