Chapter five hundred and tenth adhere to the principle
After receiving the call from Zhang Dongfang, Ye Ming felt that the situation was now more complicated. It was estimated that Li Botang would find higher-level leaders to intercede or put pressure on him, so he decided to report the matter to the county bureau. The top leader, Zou Wenming, listened to see what he thought.
After Zou Wenming listened to Ye Ming's report about the possibility of using fake rosters to falsely list the number of laid-off workers and defraud the state's taxes when revitalizing the steel plant, he squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then asked: "Xiaoye, who are you asking now?" You came to plead for Xinleng Steel Plant,"
Ye Ming replied that for the time being, only Section Chief Zhang from the Political and Engineering Section of the Municipal Bureau had made a call, but it was estimated that with Li Botang's social connections and abilities, more and higher-level leaders would come to intercede for Li Botang in the next three days.
When Zou Wenming heard that Zhang Dongfang had called Ye Ming, he showed a look of disdain on his face and snorted: "Xiaoye, please ignore him. When he was at the county bureau, he had been fighting fiercely with Li Botang. The first two Among the five party group members, he and Li Li were the ones who firmly supported the income tax reduction and exemption for the revitalization of the steel plant in 2016. It is estimated that the benefits he gained from Li Botang would not be much less than Li Li. This person is indeed a bit ignorant, and everyone is dissatisfied. He went to the city bureau and even interfered in the affairs of the county bureau. He was not afraid of others gossiping about him."
It turned out that Zou Wenming and Zhang Dongfang were competing for the top position in the county bureau, and the conflict became public in the final stage. The two people competed openly and secretly, causing many obstacles for each other, and became mortal enemies. Zhang Dongfang was transferred to the municipal bureau political worker. In the past six months, I have never been to the Xinlang County Bureau again, and the Xinlang County Local Taxation Bureau has never received any honors selected by the Political and Engineering Department.
Therefore, when Zou Wenming heard that Zhang Dongfang called Li Botang to plead for mercy, he instinctively felt disgusted. Originally, he wanted Ye Ming to make some concessions and sign a report to them if the fraud problem at Zhenxing Steel Plant was not particularly serious. never mind.
But now, out of his disgust for Zhang Dongfang, he also went to Li Botang with his disgust, and said categorically to Ye Ming: "Xiaoye, you know that I have always been a principled person, and I have never been a stickler for principles. Vague, I support your decision. If the Zhenxing Steel Plant cannot provide you with the real employee roster of the old plant for investigation and verification, then don’t sign and report it to them. Even if you report it, I will give them tax exemptions. If they apply to be called back, they will never be able to succeed in their conspiracy to defraud the state of taxes."
Seeing Zou Wenming's clean and crisp answer, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, the cell phone in his hand started buzzing. When he looked at the number, it was the landline number in the office of Director Xu Fei of the Municipal Bureau.
Ye Ming hurriedly pressed the answer button, only to hear Xu Fei ask inside: "Xiaoye, has your first branch received the tax exemption information for the Zhenxing Steel Plant, and has it not been reported yet?"
Ye Ming didn't expect Xu Fei to also inquire about this matter, and was secretly surprised. He quickly replied: "Director Xu, this is the case, but we are currently reviewing their tax exemption information, and, Judging from the conclusion of the review, this factory's income tax exemption information is suspected of being falsified, so we are prepared to conduct a detailed investigation. If they really have committed falsification, then we cannot sign the report to them,"
Xu Fei said "hmm", was silent for a moment, and said in a helpless tone: "Xiaoye, it's like this: I just received two calls in a row, one was from Director Luo Hongli of the Provincial Bureau's Tax Affairs Division Three. , and another one was from Ji Yufei, the acting mayor of K City. The main purpose of their call to me was to intercede with Zhenxing Iron and Steel Plant, so that your county bureau should not be too obsessed with some detailed flaws, but start from Zhenxing Iron and Steel Plant. The economic effect, social effect and other aspects of the factory should be comprehensively considered, and based on the purpose of supporting and encouraging the healthy development of the private economy, in terms of grasping the tax reduction and exemption policy, the scale should be slightly relaxed, the standard should be slightly lowered, and only those who can make it through should be taken into account. In the past, don’t get stuck just because there was a little bit of irregularity. Therefore, my opinion is: If the falsification of the tax exemption information of the Zhenxing Steel Plant is not particularly obvious and there are no obvious logical errors, your branch and the county The bureau should submit it to them for approval and signature,"
When Ye Ming heard Xu Fei's straightforward request for him to sign for approval and submit the information to the Zhenxing Steel Plant, he said a little depressed: "Director Xu, are you issuing an administrative order? If this is an administrative order, then I can only execute it. However, when I sign, I will write the words reservations because I don’t want to be held responsible for dereliction of duty,”
Xu Fei was very dissatisfied when he heard Ye Ming's tone. He smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoye, that's not an administrative order, it's just a suggestion. You also know that I'm not someone who easily violates principles, but in this case, It's a bit special. First of all, Director Luo from the Tax Affairs Department of the Provincial Bureau. He is the person in charge of the provincial local tax system's approval of income tax reductions and exemptions of more than one million yuan. If we offend him, if he wants to block us, we will be blocked in the future. He deliberately refused to approve all the income tax exemptions and exemptions reported in the city newspaper, which would have a great impact on the image of our municipal bureau; secondly, if we offend the new mayor Ji Yufei, our municipal bureau will look for him in the future. He wants tax rebates, and if we don’t approve them, or not approve all of them, our cadres will be the ones who suffer, so we can’t afford to offend these two people.”
Ye Ming said unconvinced: "Director Xu, even if this is the case, we can't trade on principles. You may not know: Zhenxing Steel Plant has used falsified information to defraud the country of taxes for two consecutive years. The amount is tens of millions of yuan. If this matter is not exposed, once it is exposed, it will be a big case. If I don't stay alert, I will still turn a blind eye and report it to them for approval. In the future, they will defraud the country. If the tax issue comes to light, I will probably go into the squad room, and you and Director Zou and other leaders will also be implicated. I don't dare to take this risk,"
Having said this, he thought for a moment and said: "Director Xu, you can call Director Luo and Mayor Ji back and say that you have approached me, but I am stubborn and refuse to give in to their tax exemptions." Even if you sign the application, there is nothing you can do to me. If you ask them to come to me directly, I will be responsible for all the things that offend these high-ranking officials. Let’s see what they can do to me.”
Xu Fei had nothing to do with this stubborn "little brother". At the same time, he really didn't want to make that kind of principled mistake. Therefore, he told Ye Ming: "Well, since you stick to the principle, I will also It’s not good to force you to do things that violate principles, but you have to pay attention to one thing: if you don’t sign this time, you can only discuss the matter on the basis of the facts. Don’t mention the issue of tax reduction and exemption in the previous two years, because in that case, many leaders will be involved. If you don’t do it well, you may offend a lot of people, which will definitely do you no good.”
