Shortly after the meal, Chihara Hiroshi received an unexpected call:

"Hello, are you Mr. Hiroshi Chihara?"

Judging from the voice, the other party was obviously a young woman and was speaking polite respectful words.

"Hello, who are you?"

Based on his voice alone, Hiroshi Chihara couldn't remember it for a moment, and he could not confirm the other party's identity. However, judging from his daily contact, he guessed that it was probably a staff member of the Japan Chess Academy.

However, the other party's answer overturned his guess:

"Mr. Chihara, I am a staff member of the State Taxation Department..."

The following words are naturally reminded to take the initiative to fulfill his tax obligations.

"…Mr. Chihara, the total tax you need to pay is 772,500 yen. I hope you can pay it as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Okay, I get it."

Chihara Hiroshi agreed expressionlessly and hung up the phone.

Just one minute later, staff from the Dragon Star Wars Committee called and informed that the bonus had been transferred to his account.

Finally, the other party reminded:

"Teacher Chihara, according to regulations, the chess institute charges a 15% fee, that is, 900,000 yen. This has been deducted, so the one transferred to your account is 5.1 million yen. Please know!"

"Okay, I get it."

Chihara Hiroichi complained in his heart:

It is actually 15% of the pre-tax income, and the chess school is indeed not the conscientious one.

"And, the taxes..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, he said:

"I know this too. In fact, just a few minutes ago, the State Taxation Department had called."

The other party seemed a little surprised, paused for two seconds before saying:

"Then...their efficiency is really high..."

Half a minute later, Chihara Hiroshi hung up the phone and sighed:

The tax rate in Japan is not low, as can be seen from the usual consumption tax and personal income tax.

Unlike in the country in previous lives, there are two signs when purchasing goods in Japan. One is the price of the goods itself, and the other is the taxes that need to be paid.

When paying the bill, the two are added together and collected together.

The Great Heavenly Dynasty included taxes in commodity prices, which was considered original.

Chihara Hiroshi calculated silently:

The Chess Academy charges 900,000 yen, and according to what the people in the State Taxation Department said, 772,500 yen, a total of...

Wait, he seems to have missed something!

After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that according to what Zhao Zhixun said before, wouldn’t he have to pay a 20% tax?

20% of 6 million is not worth 1.2 million yen?

Mai Nishitsuji passed by the living room corridor and saw him standing by the phone, frowning and meditating, so she asked:

"Chenhara, is there anything difficult?"

Qianhara Hiroshi raised his eyes and told her about this when he thought that the other party was also a professional chess player and that he had entered the rank several years earlier than him.

After hearing his words, Mai Nishitsuji was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled:

"Kun Chihara, it's not an algorithm like you, the progressive tax system, do you know?"

Progressive tax system?

Hiroshi Chihara suddenly realized that he thought he was multiplying all his income by the tax rate, but he didn't expect it to be separated.

So, the Honinbo bonus mentioned by Zhao Zhixun was not all collected at a tax rate of 40%.

He breathed a sigh of relief:

He is determined to win the third championship. If the tax rate is so terrifying, he will be heartbroken when paying the tax.

"Depending on how you look, you probably know, so I won't explain, let me tell you a story?"

Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, Chihara Hiroshi asked:

"story?"

Mai Nishitsuji focused her head and said:

"This story is a widely circulated thing in the State Taxation Department..."

According to legend, one winter, in order to grasp the actual income of a lounge, a group of State Taxation Department officials who graduated from Dongda University squatted at the door of the lounge for three months in the cold winter, counting the number of people entering and leaving the lounge, and then went to the kitchen waste storage area in the back alley to count the wine brands and bottles, and then calculated the taxes that the lounge should pay.

"...So, no matter who you owe money, you will definitely not owe money from the State Taxation Department!"

Mai Nishitsuji patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't worry, paying taxes is an obligation!"

Qianhara Hiroshi said a little disappointed:

"Did you see it?"

"Look at your expression, I guessed it."

As he said that, Mai Nishitsuji looked at him with a strange look and said:

"Chenghara, to be honest, I doubt whether you are Japanese."

Hiroshi Chihara breathed:

Did you show your strength?

"Why... why do you say that?"

Fortunately, after Mai Nishitsuji said what she had just said, she immediately turned around and did not see the subtle expression on his face. She said:

"Growing up in Japan since I was a child, shouldn't you know all kinds of tax rates well? How could you calculate it wrong?"

She said, walking towards the room.

Hiroshi Chihara felt relieved and couldn't help but complain:

"Don't put your common sense on me! I don't manage a temple..."

...

The next day, after receiving the tax payment form, Chihara Hiroshi went to the bank.

In the bank, he finally saw his existing deposit, which was close to 6 million yen, and when he paid the tax of 772,500 yen, he still had more than 5 million yen.

Obviously, the bank teller's attitude improved a little when he saw him.

It is not like later generations. Although the economic environment is not good and all kinds of assets in Japan are shrinking, the exchange rate of the Japanese yen is extremely strong.

Simply put, the current yen is still relatively valuable.

Therefore, 5 million yen is not a small amount for ordinary people.

When the yen depreciates sharply... Chihara Hiroshi thought about it a few years later - to be precise, it was the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and the exchange rate of the yen would fall sharply.

His current goal is to make money hard. When he sees it, he can take advantage of the financial tycoon's rolling and take the opportunity to drink some soup.

And this obviously requires a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Chihara Hiroshi sighed:

With his limited knowledge, of course, he knew about Panasonic, Sony, Canon and other companies, but the establishment of these companies was at the latest during the post-war economic reconstruction period and had long been growing into a chaebol.

Want to take advantage?

dream!

However, at this time, China, China, had many opportunities due to various factors.

Hiroshi Chihara remembered Ma Yingchun and thought about whether he could make plans for his retirement life through him.

However, at the moment, he obviously still needs to focus on the competition and take the opportunity to save more bonuses.

As early as after entering the section, he set his goals for this year:

Get at least one title!

And Go Sheng Zhan is the closest game he has to his target.

Next week, he will compete with Zhao Zhixun for the challenge of the title of Gosun.
Chapter completed!
