I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"666, awesome, awesome!"

"Goodness, took over 30 billion just like that? I, Uchiha Gou Dan, am willing to call you the takeover hero!"

"I get it now, the title of this live stream is wrong. It's not 'I pay taxes, I'm proud,' this live stream should be called 'Zhang Menglong's Wealth Flaunting Show!'"

"Everyone sit down! What's the excitement about? It's just a mere 30 billion Huaxia currency, just a bit of pocket change for President Zhang. Are you looking down on Boss Zhang or what?"

...

"Mr. Zhang, are you serious?" Director Chen confirmed.

"Of course, I'm serious. How do we pay? Directly by card?"

"Xiao Li!" Director Chen directly called over a staff member.

"Mr. Zhang, we will immediately create a temporary supplementary payment note for your company's account. Log into the tax system through your company's account to pay the tax," the staff member known as Xiao Li said.

"Xu Huan, is it done?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Director Zhou, take a look!" Xu Huan said while contacting the company's financial director.

"President Zhang, the total tax of 31.823641823.23 yuan has been paid in full!" Hong Huan reported back.

"Please check it, Director Chen."

Director Chen immediately gave Xiao Li a look, and after some operations, Xiao Li promptly reported, "Director Chen, Silicon Moonlight's tax payment has all arrived!"

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your cooperation. Your supplementary payment is completed. We hope that in the future you can supervise your company to pay taxes on time and in full to avoid similar misunderstandings," Director Chen said.

"Thank you for the reminder, Director Chen," Zhang Menglong nodded and made a polite gesture, "By the way, this matter shouldn't be settled yet, should it?"

"Eh?" Director Chen was stunned, "Your due taxes have been paid. There's no problem now."

"No, no, no!" Zhang Menglong said, "Consultant Liu, please come out for a moment."

It was only then that everyone noticed that Zhang Menglong had brought three people with him this time; his personal assistant Hong Yi, the executive assistant of Silicon Moonlight Xu Huan, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.

This middle-aged man was Silicon Moonlight's dedicated legal consultant, Liu Yufeng.

"Consultant Liu, according to the regulations of Bao Island Province, what are the penalties for tax evasion and fraud?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"President Zhang, according to Article 201 of the law, taxpayers who engage in deception and concealment for false tax declarations or fail to declare, evading a large amount of taxes, which constitute over ten percent of the payable tax amount, shall be sentenced to no more than three years in prison or detention, and fined; for a very large amount, constituting over thirty percent of the payable tax amount, shall be sentenced to no less than three years and no more than seven years in prison, and fined," Liu Yufeng replied.

"Goodness! President Zhang has gone mad!"

"Even after it was said that everything was handled, is he still looking to trouble himself?"

"I really don't understand this move. Is my brain not working?"

"Can someone explain to me what exactly this is all about? Is President Zhang trying to impose penalties on himself?"

Countless question marks floated up on the barrage of comments.

"What exactly is this Huaxia person doing?"

"An interesting Huaxia person!"

Foreign netizens were also baffled one by one.

"Mr. Zhang, this matter has nothing to do with you. There's absolutely no need for you to take this responsibility!" Director Chen didn't even know what to say anymore.

"No, no, no, that won't do!" Zhang Menglong spoke righteously, "Our Silicon Moonlight hasn't paid taxes in full for five years. That 30 billion must have created quite a funding gap for the nation's construction, right?"

"Ever heard of the butterfly effect? A small butterfly flapping its wings can provoke a typhoon. The impact of this 30 billion is likely incalculable. If we don't impose a penalty, I won't feel right about it!" Zhang Menglong said.

"Mr. Zhang, then... Forget about going to jail, it wasn't your doing. If you really can't live with it, then just pay a fine or something."

"Right, that's what I'm saying!" Zhang Menglong stated, "We should pay a fine as compensation for any losses we've caused the country. It's only fair!"

"Advisor Liu, how is the penalty for tax evasion calculated?"

"Mr. Zhang, according to regulations, the penalty ranges from 50% to five times the amount of the tax due or underpaid," replied Advisor Liu.

"Mr. Zhang, let's pay the 50% then. Xiao Li, issue the bill!" said Director Chen.

"Wait a second!" Zhang Menglong's tone was serious, "Director Chen, how can you do this? It's 30 billion we're talking about. With such a huge sum, how can you only charge the minimum penalty? If you don't impose a heavier fine, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

"Ah... This..."

"In my opinion, we should apply the maximum standard, and fine five times!"

"Wow!" The scene erupted in gasps, and the live stream also went silent.

"Has he gone mad? More than 30 billion, and five times that is a fine of over 150 billion!"@@novelbin@@

"Damn! I'm astounded; that's what Mr. Ma's company Alibaba makes in a year's revenue."

"Mr. Zhang, could you possibly be any more flamboyant?"

"This isn't about admitting wrongdoing, this is showing off wealth! 150 billion Huaxia yuan, I earn 200,000 a year, without eating or drinking, I'd have to start working from the 'Lantian man' era to earn that much!"

"From the Lantian man era is already good; I only make 100,000 a year, I'd have to start from the prehistoric apes!"

...

"I don't like odd numbers, let's round it up to 1.6 trillion!"

"Mr. Zhang," Director Chen said with a wry smile, "it's really not possible. According to the law, the maximum is up to five times. 1.6 trillion is already beyond that limit. If you were to really pay such a fine, our financial statements for this year would be a mess!"

"Is that so!" Zhang Menglong chuckled, "Then never mind, just pay 1.55 trillion. Comrade Xiao Li, please take care of it!"

"Director, this..." Xiao Li had never entered so many zeros in his work life.

"Do as Mr. Zhang has asked!" said Director Chen through gritted teeth.

"Yes!"

"Mr. Zhang, this is a penalty directed at an individual, you probably can't use the company's money," said Director Chen.

"No problem, it was always coming out of my own pocket!" Zhang Menglong said, "Hong Yi, make the transfer!"

A few minutes later, a colossal fine entered the tax system.

"Mr. Zhang, you have completed the payment of the fine."

"Thank you for your efforts, Director Chen. We will take our leave now!"

"Have a good day, I'll see you out!"

...

"This Huaxia person, just how much money does he have?" Jin Tianjing Long also finished watching the live stream.

Initially, he thought that this tax issue, if not bringing down Zhang Menglong, would at least bring him considerable public opinion pressure. However, unexpectedly, the live stream turned into an excellent promotion.

Now the whole world knew that Zhang Menglong was unimaginably wealthy, not only that, but he was also highly credible, voluntarily taking on social responsibility, and willingly paying a huge fine that he could have completely avoided. Most crucially, he showed no change in expression as he pulled out 1.5 trillion Huaxia yuan without the slightest sign of pain.

The most crucial thing was that after he paid the money, there was even a perverse smile on his face, as if getting fined 1.55 trillion was an incredibly joyful event!

"No, this can't go on!" Jin Tianjing Long muttered to himself, "If Huaxia really develops high-end chips, then at that time, just Zhang Menglong's credibility and financial power could attract a large number of orders, and we would be out of the picture. We absolutely can't let him continue!"

"Mr. Ryūze!"

Sitting opposite Jin Tianjing Long was a man with a somewhat sinister appearance, his bangs covering half his left eye like a visual kei hairstyle.

Jin Tianjing Long moved Zhang Menglong's information in front of him: "I want this man's life!"
