Chapter 1: Falling boulders from the sky
"What makes sense? It's nonsense!"
The document was transferred to the office of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Seeing Zhou Mu's instructions, Bai Yu angrily patted the pencil on the table and immediately called Wu Genfu and said:
"The Tu family's request is completely unreasonable! First, after the contract agreement expires, the Tu family no longer has any rights to Luojialing, and is not qualified to make any comments; secondly, the order agriculture includes tea, the main house can choose to plant tea trees, and the Zheng family has the right to let the Zheng family do it. What reason does the Tu family have to oppose it? Finally, the existing agricultural scale of Mulong can ensure port supply. The Management Committee feels that it is not enough to find a way for it, so don't make the idea of Luojialing!"
Wu Genfu reminded carefully: "Secretary Bai, the prior agreement mentioned priority, and Secretary Tu's claim should be within a reasonable range. Besides, Mayor Zhou also agrees..."
Bai Yu said without thinking: "Priority does not mean that it must renew the contract. It is only a strengthening of the legal effect of certain rights. The nature has not completely deviated from the nature of the rights they strengthen. In other words, under the same conditions, for example, the contract fee is 18 yuan per mu, Secretary Tu can obtain the project first; but if someone is willing to pay 50 yuan per mu, Secretary Tu refuses, so he will naturally lose priority. Is this judicial interpretation correct?"
"this……"
Wu Genfu was speechless.
Because Bai Yu's words also imply dissatisfied with the outrageously low contract price. Normally, according to the natural resources, soil, water and soil, the contract price ranges from 50-200 yuan per mu. The Tu family took over the southern foot of Luojialing that year, and the relevant departments "kindly" calculated based on "stone land", and the benchmark price rose to 15 yuan to 18 yuan, which made the Tu family get a big advantage.
To this day, Bai Yu wants to return to normal value on the southern foot of Luojialing, and the contract price per mu cannot be less than 50 yuan.
Bai Yu refused to sign, and the original was returned to Wu Gen Mansion. Wu Gen Mansion had no choice but to ask Zhou Mu to express his "Secretary Bai's opinion" again, and Zhou Mu said dissatisfiedly:
"As a city leader, we must adhere to principles and humane things when doing things. There are some places where we expand order agriculture. Why bother with Secretary Zheng Xiong? I don't favor anyone in this matter, but I oppose Secretary Bai's veto of contract renewal with an exclusion mentality!"
Piqiu hit the municipal party committee again. After hearing this, Bai Yu clearly stated: "Everyone is equal in market access, and wasteland must develop order agriculture, and the contracting rights will be faced with the society through bidding."
Zhou Mu questioned in a recent public occasion: "The leader has the final say, or is the spirit of contract first? What is priority? I really want to discuss it with some comrades!"
Bai Yu didn't discuss it with Zhou Mu at all, and felt that he had already made it clear before - he only enjoyed priority at the same price, otherwise he would be exempted from negotiation.
In order to fight back against Zhou Mu's remarks, Bai Yu convened the Municipal Party Committee on the 20th day of the 12th lunar month and heads of relevant municipal departments went to Luojialing for on-site inspection.
Considering that there are many roads to Luojialing Mountain from the city, poor road conditions, and some areas are relatively narrow, Han Wenbo did not mobilize the usual business buses, but instead divided six cars into a huge convoy.
The No. 1 car that Bai Yu was riding naturally was driven away by Zhong Liliang, and Yan Yueze was sitting in the front row, but the driving order was in the third place. The first was the police car responsible for the road; the second was the director of the Municipal Land and Resources Bureau and the director of the Municipal Natural Resources Bureau, which was equivalent to being a guide; behind were Han Wenbo; Wu Genfu; and one accompanied by a member of the Municipal Party Committee Office and the Official Office.
——When Bai Yu left the city, he had to open the road whenever he left the city, he did not do so but considered safety. Not only did Long Zhongjun and other confidants, but even Tan Rong warned many times that the rural and mountainous areas of Jinan were not peaceful, and that many people were bold and arrogant, so they had to be extremely careful when going out.
Shortly after the car drove out, Zhong Liliang deliberately raised the topic and said: "Secretary Yan, why has Universal Film and Television City not yet formed, and has a lot of film and television companies and studios registered in the East District?"
"Money laundering, tax avoidance, financial needs." Yan Yueze said concisely.
"If you don't understand, can you tell me in detail?" Zhongli Liang said.
Yan Yueze smiled and said, "You really broke the casserole and asked me to the end... I only heard that the reason is like this, and I don't know how to operate it."
"Compared with tax evasion, financial operations, money laundering, and transferring assets for the actual controller of the film and television company is a big deal!" Bai Yu, who was sitting in the back row, caught the conversation, "Just counting a simple calculation, you know that using film and television investment to launder money is the lowest cost - film and television companies, studios belong to the cultural industry, usually enjoy preferential tax rates; the tax law also stipulates that enterprises can use 15% of their operating income for advertising and deduct it before tax, which makes money laundering cost lower. In summary, even if the film and television works sold are so bad that no one cares about it, the money laundering rate after false reporting of costs and box office operations is not the case.
20%, far lower than the normal cost of money laundering 35%. Moreover, the crew has always been a blind spot for audits. Its account expenditure is numerous and timely. Sometimes, from joining the group to disbanding for only 30 or 40 days, it is immediately scattered and there is no way to track down the birds and beasts, and it is very casual, and many expenses cannot be verified. For example, costumes can be said to be customized for 1 million yuan, and the actual cost may be hundreds of yuan; the broken furniture, antiques, and vehicles are obviously fakes, but it is not serious; the production cost of war movies and martial arts movies is even more tricky, anyway, they are burned out in the end, so how much they say is; as for the actors’ pay..."
"Yin and Yang Contract!" Both Yan Yueze and Zhongliliang knew about this.
How did celebrities get a sky-high pay? They claim to be worth 100 million yuan, but they may only get 20 million yuan, and the other 80 million yuan fell into the capital pocket.
Why do celebrities know that they are keen on being suckers? They gain popularity and photogenic opportunities, so they are a real win-win business.
Bai Yu continued: "In fact, film and television money laundering is a long-term and complicated process. It does not mean that now I have a black money, so I can shoot movies as an investor, and clean up the money after filming. This is not the case. The premise is that you must build a film and television company, remember that it must be real rather than a bag company, and at least three or four movies must be made to be recognized, otherwise you will be targeted by the tax authorities. The specific operation steps are: During the operation of the film and television company, it is not necessary to make high book income, so that the actual investment and income of film and television production is less than the book investment and income. What does it mean? For example, a movie actually invests 10 million, and the actual income is 50 million; the book investment is 80 million, and the income is 100 million, then the additional 50 million out of thin air is the amount of money laundering. As for whether to make or lose money in film and television works, it doesn't matter."
"No wonder in recent years, there have been more and more large-scale productions. I have always thought that I was modest to learn from others in Hollywood and willing to spend a lot of money. It turned out to be money laundering!" Yan Yueze said, "There are movies that have frequently hit new highs, such as the first day of release, several hundred million in five days, and several hundred million in ten days, etc. I wondered in my heart that there are not so many people going to the cinema now? After a long time of trouble, they are all tricks!"
Zhong Liliang said frustratedly: "I still didn't understand... No wonder Secretary Bai is the leader, Secretary Yan is the secretary, and I can only be a driver."
Bai Yu laughed and said, "You have to use your brain to drive, not everyone can drive well. Simply put, film and television companies launder money through two aspects. On the one hand, they claim that the difference between the investment and the actual investment is a matter of making a fortune; on the other hand, it is complicated. There are countless affiliated companies working together in various income links such as box office, such as movies, group ticket purchases, online drama copyrights, and actors opening, etc., which involve film securitization, crowdfunding, income subscription, betting and other financial capital chains, capital, directors, stars, theaters, etc., which will maintain cooperation for a long time to reduce the probability of problems. There are too many benefits behind it, and no one can easily smash other people's venues, thus forming an industrialized money laundering chain in the film and television industry."
"In the past, it was revealed that XXXX evaded taxes and how many billions of dollars, and XXX paid hundreds of millions of dollars in just a few years, and they were all released as a scapegoat?" Zhong Liliang finally realized the mystery.
"We can't say that they are wronged. No snowflakes are innocent when the avalanche are gone." Bai Yu said.
Yan Yueze smiled and said, "About four years ago, a crew went to Shitashan Mining Area to shoot a movie. In less than ten days, he said that he would be a transfer after the filming was finished. We are very curious. It is rare that there is a drama that reflects the miners' mine. Later, I have been searching online but I can't find it. Looking back, I think about it for almost 100 money laundering!"
Bai Yu said: "Some directors claim to restore a certain scene in the original proportion; some directors spend a year planting trees and flowers for two or three shots; some film and television works are all handmade in the palace costumes, etc. In reality, there may be art-oriented, but most of them just listen to it and smile lightly."
While speaking, the convoy left the city and drove along the provincial road to turn into the mountain road to Luojialing. It was said to be a mountain road. For decades, the three-level official palaces in the city and town have been repaired and maintained, and can barely allow trucks to enter and exit the tea and tea gardens to pass through.
After driving between mountain roads for half an hour, the convoy passed through Tuoziling and Weiling, the gateway south of Luojialing. There were cliffs hundreds of meters high on both sides, and only one car could pass through the narrowest part. The dim light in the long sky passage gave people a heavy sense of depression.
"Ba", a small stone hit the car window. Fortunately, the front gear of Bai Yu's special car was modified and the special bulletproof glass was not damaged. Before Yan Yueze could speak, "Baa" was two small stones, and then the two cars in front were obviously slowing down, as if they had been affected.
Bai Yu has experience working and living in the mountains. He looked at both sides alertly and ordered: "Hound the horn, speed up!"
When Zhongliliang honked his horn desperately, Yan Yueze also called the first police officer's cell phone and said loudly: "Quick! The faster the better!"
The three cars made a low roar, and rushed forward like arrows; the vehicles behind them also realized the danger and followed closely.
With a loud "bang", a huge rock as big as a millstone fell from the sky, barely hitting the middle of the third and fourth cars and blocking the mountain road. Suddenly, dust flew, stone chips splashed everywhere, and the entire valley was shaking, and the cliffs on both sides plowed and fell countless gravels.
"quick--"
Yan Yueze shouted at his cell phone, but the speed of the police car was obviously unable to increase. The second car was shaking and probably had been damaged. They both went to a slightly open place to leave aside, allowing Zhongliliang to jump to the front at high speed, and threw the two cars off more than 20 meters in a blink of an eye.
Another loud bang, a huge rock larger than before fell from the sky, hitting four or five meters behind the car and blocked the mountain road again.
