How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Add a load...

This phrase is an absolute term of praise in the domestic market and officialdom, regardless of whether it’s in the business or the political field.

Even in private enterprises, if you’re given so-called loads, you will symbolically be promoted and receive a pay raise.

And within the system, adding loads is entirely synonymous with promotion.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shuting’s blood rushed with excitement.

As a senior customer manager of the bank, in her field, she couldn’t rise any higher; the best she might get would be an honorary director to serve as, but if it were just a nominal position, then Fang Dezhi wouldn’t have made such a big deal about it...

With her current positive class rank.

It was very likely that she would be assigned to a district-level branch as a leader, or even promoted further to take up a position with real power, like a director at a city-level branch.

Though the rank would not be as high as at the province-level Hang City branch, at least she would have authority! It would be at least ten times easier to get promoted in the future, unlike now, where she could hardly claim any credit and had to rely solely on seniority...

With this thought, Zhu Shuting suppressed her excitement and quickly responded, "Don’t worry, president! I will do everything possible to keep this amount of money at our Construction Bank!"

Having said that, she began to rack her brains, thinking about how to make Gu Heng leave this money in the Construction Bank...

....

....

Elsewhere, a giant Airbus A380 landed steadily on the tarmac of Hangcheng Airport.

"Mr. Gu, the plane has already landed at Hangcheng Xiaoshan Airport, you can get ready to disembark."

He was still unaware that he had reached a point where he could influence the promotion of a bank’s middle-level management at will; he stretched languidly as he switched his phone back from flight mode to normal amidst the knocks and reminders from the stewardess.

As soon as he turned on his phone, he saw more than a dozen missed calls and several text messages.

After a brief glance, Gu Heng couldn’t help but be startled...

"Your bank card account 8529 received a cross-border income of RMB 15,374,650,000,00 on June 25, 2024, with a post-transaction balance of 16,467,65,000,00 billion yuan [Construction Bank]"

"Your bank card account 8529 received a cross-border income of RMB 6,918,592,500,00 on June 25, 2024, with a post-transaction balance of 23,386,242,500,00 yuan [Construction Bank]"

Two massive transfer messages appeared before Gu Heng.

It wasn’t the long string of numbers that surprised him—he had personally conducted this transfer at Swiss Bank.

What was puzzling was the unexpected extra amount of money...

And it wasn’t just a small amount; it was a whole 6.9 billion...

Wouldn’t such an amount scare someone to death if it appeared in an ordinary person’s account?

Just as Gu Heng was puzzled, the system, which almost never initiated communication, sounded in his mind.

[The 6.918592 billion transfer is a gift from the system to the host for the payment of personal income tax. The tax documents have been prepared for the host, who may withdraw them at any time. The gifted funds are at the 45% maximum personal income tax amount.]

Pay taxes?

Why didn’t he have to pay taxes for the money he rewarded himself before, but now suddenly he had to?

Gu Heng was somewhat confused.

Sensing Gu Heng’s question, the system’s voice sounded again.

[For amounts below 1 billion, the system has already paid taxes on them in someone else’s name before granting the reward. The property obtained by the host is a gift, and the tax rate is extremely low, thus ignored.

For amounts above 1 billion, the gift method can no longer be used to pay taxes, and the taxes generated will be paid on behalf of the host. However, the host is just a payer and will not need to spend any money—the system will grant the amount based on the highest tax payment.] Your next chapter awaits on NovelBin.Côm

Alright, alright...

With or without saying it, this system of mine could definitely be considered a law-abiding system, right?

Other people’s systems directly give money and employ various methods to avoid detection of the source of their property.

What about mine?

Not only does it not hide the source of the property, but it even offers money proactively for me to pay taxes.

However, this model was definitely all advantage and no drawback for me.

Firstly, the source of funds was normal; I could spend money however I wanted, even indulge in luxury and pleasure every day. As long as I wasn’t breaking the law or committing crimes, there was no need to worry about investigations by national security or financial regulatory agencies.

Secondly, there was a rise in social status.

Even though I didn’t own any substantial industry, I was a major taxpayer.

Paying nearly 7 billion in taxes at once, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that governments all over the country would treat me like a treasure.

In a provincial capital and first-tier city like Hang City, the annual tax revenue was just over 230 billion.

My single tax payment accounted for 1/30 of Hang City’s annual tax revenue; as a super taxpayer, to put it bluntly, as long as I didn’t betray the country, even if I did commit some illegal or disorderly conduct, I would probably get off with a lighter punishment, right?

Suddenly...

Gu Heng looked at this nearly 7 billion massive sum and couldn’t help thinking, what if I didn’t pay this tax, would there be any trouble?

Keep in mind, this was 7 billion; for an ordinary person, it was enough to provide them and their descendants with a life of luxury and carefree living.

However, just as this thought began to rise, the system prompt immediately followed.

["According to Hua Country’s law, taxpayers who evade a significant amount of tax (exceeding ten percent of the tax payable) by deception, concealment, and other means without reporting, will be held legally responsible and could face up to three years of fixed-term imprisonment. With the amount of tax evasion, it’s very likely that you would face the maximum sentence of 7 years of fixed-term imprisonment."]

The slight wicked thought that had just appeared in Gu Heng’s mind was mercilessly shattered by the system...

He curled his lips slightly and didn’t take it seriously.

As long as I had the system, money was merely a number to me, and the thought just now was nothing more than the fleeting greed of a normal person.

Having cleared up these matters, Gu Heng also walked out towards the bedroom on the plane.

....

....

Ten minutes later, under the escort of a dozen bodyguards, Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana walked out through the VIP passage of the airport.

Looking at Ouyang Nana, who had geared up upon returning to the country, Gu Heng laughed and said, "Are you sure you don’t want to take my private jet back to Treasure Island?"

Shaking her head, Ouyang Nana replied, "No need, my assistant has already booked a ticket back to Treasure Island. It’s taking off in a little over an hour.

It’s more complicated to apply for flight routes domestically than abroad.

By the time you finish the application, I might already be home in bed."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng agreed, thinking that Hua Country was good in all aspects except that privileges were not as readily available as in the West, where they were clearly priced and displayed. This was definitely good for ordinary people.

But for the rich like Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana, it wasn’t as friendly.

When Gu Heng was about to say goodbye to Ouyang Nana, she spoke first, "I just remembered, didn’t you say you wanted to travel the world? How come you’ve also returned to the country?"

Gu Heng smiled, "Plans can’t keep up with changes. I was originally planning a global tour, but in a few days, it’s my mom’s 50th birthday. I came back to celebrate her birthday.

Also, the Boeing 777 that I purchased has to be registered with the Civil Aviation Administration. Otherwise, it can’t fly anywhere; it would just be a chunk of metal. I’ll take this opportunity to handle this matter."

Ouyang Nana nodded, "That’s true, you can travel at any time, but your parents’ birthday is the most important thing.

When I get home, I’ll have my studio calculate my income and pay you back that 700,000 Euros as soon as possible."

However, Gu Heng waved his hand and, looking at the incoming call display on his phone, slowly said, "No rush, pay me back when you have the money. Someone’s come to pick me up. I’ll be going now."

After that, he immediately disappeared from Ouyang Nana’s sight with his bodyguards.

Ouyang Nana stood there, staring blankly at Gu Heng’s retreating figure...

"Alright, stop staring and go check in."

Hearing her manager’s voice, Ouyang Nana finally snapped back to reality.

"Nana, I’m going to say something I shouldn’t. No matter whether you want to develop your career in the entertainment industry, you must definitely hold on to Mr. Gu!

How did Jing Tian become one of the Four Young Dan actresses? Isn’t it because she had a big shot relentlessly promoting her when she debuted? Although Mr. Gu may not have any industry in the entertainment circle, he is rich. If he sets his mind on promoting you, he’s fully capable of reaching the level of the Four Young Dan actresses!

I know you’re proud and may not want to do such things, but that’s the way the entertainment industry works. If you don’t do it, someone else will step on you!"

Ouyang Nana just smiled faintly at her manager’s words...

Even without the manager mentioning it, she understood; with a big shot like Gu Heng, how could she not cling to that thigh?
