Chapter 995: The Ins and Outs
Seeing Ge Dongxu mention talking about things, Xu Yumo's hearts jumped heavily, and their eyes showed anticipation, while the faces of Marco and his son turned pale all of a sudden.
"Thank you, Brother Xu, if you weren't there today, I don't know what would have happened this time. Xu Yumo said.
"That's nothing, we are alumni and compatriots, it doesn't make sense for you to encounter something, I don't care. Now let's talk about how the police in Bora Nadi seized your goods and people. If you can explain it in English, you can speak it in English and Anthony can understand it. If it doesn't work, you can just say it in Chinese, Nicole is very good at Chinese and can help translate. Ge Dongxu said.
"I can use English if I can do it. Xu Yumo replied.
Ge Dongxu nodded.
"The reason why the police in the capital of Polaja State seized our goods and people was that we were involved in tax evasion and smuggling. Seeing Ge Dongxu nodding, Xu Yumo began to speak in English.
"Are you really involved in tax evasion and smuggling?" asked Ge Dongxu with a slight frown.
In secular matters, he has always hoped to do things according to the law, and if Xu Yumo's company is really involved in smuggling, he is still a little embarrassed.
Of course, it doesn't mean that things are difficult to do, with his identity, this is just a small matter of a sentence, but there will be psychological obstacles.
"If you want to talk about smuggling, it's definitely not, if you want to talk about tax evasion, you have to ask Marco them, and ......" Speaking of this, Xu Yumo glanced at Nicole again and again, obviously scrupling about something.
"It's okay, just say, Nicole won't have a problem. I don't understand this, what you just said really confused me. Ge Dongxu saw that Xu Yumo had scruples and encouraged.
"Yes. Xu Yumo nodded, and then continued with a little deliberation in his heart: "Actually, this matter is quite complicated, and there are many reasons. The way our goods come in is called charter flight tax according to our statement, that is, our consignor pays the fee to the customs clearance company of the Mexican country according to the cargo capacity of the whole aircraft, and the latter will handle the customs declaration, tax payment, commodity inspection and other procedures throughout the process. They are very familiar with the customs, commodity inspection and other relevant departments of the country of Mexico, and they also have a relationship, so our goods can come in quickly. ”
"So Andre, they are the customs clearance company you are looking for, they have escaped a lot of expenses in the middle, and then they have affected you. Ge Dongxu began to understand a little, his eyes swept a cold glance at Marco and Andre, and he saw that the two of them were almost about to slide off their positions, their heads were covered with cold sweat, and their eyes looked at Xu Yumo pleadingly.
"Actually, they can't help it. Speaking of which, the corruption of the country is too serious. Xu Yumo still glanced at Nicole with scruples when she said this.
"It's okay Miss Xu, you just have to be bold and say that I have known for a long time that the corruption in Moke Country is serious, but I think it will get better slowly. Ni saw that Xu Yumo glanced at herself again, smiled and said with relief.
Xu Yumo saw that Nicole was not unhappy, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "We are regular companies and businessmen, and we still do business with foreigners, we definitely want to take the formal route, and no one wants to cause trouble in a foreign country. However, the corruption of the country is serious, and if you want to clear customs through formal channels, not only the cost is very high, but the time for customs clearance is very slow, and sometimes the goods may not arrive in a month or two. We are engaged in the trade of clothing and shoes, which is very seasonal, not to mention the cost, and we can't afford to spend time alone. This is just the cost and time, and what is even worse is that sometimes the customs officers will deliberately drop our goods and then find excuses to fine. So in desperation, we had to find Marco and their company to handle these procedures on our behalf. ”
"They have connections, it's easy and fast to do, and the cost is relatively favorable. However, because they do not strictly follow the procedures stipulated in the customs law, when we receive the goods, we receive not specific customs goods tax documents, but a package of goods declaration form or customs warehouse delivery form. Although the goods are released by the customs, it must be legal from a certain point of view, otherwise it will not be taken out, but because the documents we receive do not indicate whether the goods are taxed, once the tax police come to check the tax bill, it becomes a piece of waste paper, and then our goods become tax evasion and smuggling goods, and they want to seize them, so this charter tax package method is also known as gray customs clearance. ”
"Actually, we paid the fee, and Marco and they actually paid the fee, as for whether it was paid in full, it was a matter between their customs clearance company and customs and other departments. In fact, their tax police really want to investigate the responsibility, and they should investigate the responsibility of the freight clearance company that charters the flight and the tax, as well as the customs agency that handles the customs clearance procedures, which is their dereliction of duty. We paid the fee and the goods were actually picked up from their customs warehouse. ”
"Of course, everyone knows this kind of thing, under normal circumstances, the local police from time to time to use this excuse to extort a little money is common, we go thousands of miles abroad to make money, naturally we don't want to cause trouble, as long as they are not excessive, basically spend money to eliminate disasters. But seldom like this one, a surprise inspection not only seized all of our goods, but also our employees who were responsible for wholesale goods. We asked someone to talk to them, but they didn't pay attention to us at all, and in desperation, we found Gusseff, but we didn't expect him to be even more hateful. ”
"Is it just you? Or have many businesses been raided?" Ge Dongxu asked, his face a little cold.
"No, it's a lot of businesses. However, basically Chinese merchants have been raided, in fact, because we Chinese have always valued harmony in doing business, and our personalities are relatively mild, and those police officers are also reluctant to blackmail us Chinese businessmen. But after many merchants paid a certain fee, basically the goods were released, but the merchants who had business dealings with Marco could not release them. Xu Yumo replied, glancing thoughtfully at Marco and Andre.
"Well, the new head of the Korshkov district had some conflicts with me before, and not only that, but his wife's brother has recently set up a freight clearance company. This time, he not only wants to announce his personal vendetta, but also wants to bring down my company in this way. At this time, Marco dared not hide it, seeing Xu Yumo looking at him, he hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and got up and explained tremblingly.
As he spoke, Marko's eyes had been secretly observing Ge Dongxu, and when he saw that Ge Dongxu's face was getting more and more gloomy, his heart kept sinking, and his legs trembled violently.
