Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 927 The confrontation between Da Yuer and the big businessman (six more)
In the Yokohama Concession of Dongying Country, at the highest meeting of the Far East Trading Company's Dongying Branch, Da Yuer was facing the greatest pressure since coming to Dongying.She sat at the front seat with the other three directors, and on each side were three rows of big Chinese businessmen operating in Japan. Dozens of big businessmen all looked at her with slightly hostile eyes.

"Miss, the company system you proposed, our members of the Far East Trading Company voted to reject this proposal with a majority of votes. This proposal harms our interests and wastes people's money." The wealthy businessmen said.

These big merchants are all vested interests in the trade with the Eastern country, and because of the trade, they have gradually become richer than the enemy.Their energy and influence are also growing. If everyone knew that Chu Yun might be standing behind Da Yuer, with her background, she would not be able to compete with the big business group.

The biggest background of Dayuer is the Horqin tribe in Mongolia, but in the ocean age, the nomads have fallen behind, and the background from the grasslands does not have much deterrent effect on these maritime merchants.

"What's the opinion of the three directors?" Facing these people, Da Yuer felt a lot of pressure and asked the three directors of Dongying Branch for help.

"There are too many supporting measures for the company system, requiring each businessman to have skilled bookkeepers, and our Far East Trading Company also needs to verify the reports of each company every year." The three directors who manage the affairs here stood on the side of the big businessman side.

"I would like to ask all the businessmen here, who of you does not have your own account books? As long as your bookkeepers are trained by us, they can become professional accountants, so that all companies have a unified bookkeeping format. We don't need to comprehensively check all accounts every year. The company's account books only need spot checks. For the spot check results, we include them in the credit assessment system and punish companies that violate the rules." Da Yuer glanced at these giant merchants.

A group of businessmen sitting on the round table were unmoved. After a brief eye contact, one of them said: "The accounting books are extremely confidential business secrets for each of our businessmen. If the head office has to check the accounts every year, What if our trade secrets are exposed? And what does the head office want to do with our books?"

"If it is because the head office leaked the contents of the account books that were randomly checked, the inspectors will be held accountable and you will be compensated for all losses. The reason why the head office wants to check the account books is to prevent you from tax evasion, prevent monopoly, standardize management, and introduce income tax." Da Yuer said.

The businessman was in an uproar after hearing this.The benefits mentioned by Da Yuer are all losses for them!

In the future, let the Ministry of Accounts and Dongfang Company know their account books, and they will also levy corporate income tax. Wouldn't the tax be heavier in the future?

"Miss, you are increasing our burden!" Once the big businessmen involved their own interests, they united unprecedentedly, obviously wanting to resist Da Yuer's new measures.

"For the new income tax, we will make appropriate reductions in customs duties and city taxes as compensation, and the overall burden will not increase much. As for tax evasion, this is not allowed by the law." Da Yuer said.

"Forgive us for offending us. It is superfluous for all individual businessmen to set up companies to conduct trade. We are doing well now. Everyone makes money with their own abilities, and the land is safe. We have paid various city taxes and customs duties. There is no need to register a company. Make everything transparent," said a representative businessman.

"What Mr. Lu said is that everyone is doing business well now. Why create a company system out of nothing? It would be nice to have a Far East Trading Company now, but we need individuals to set up a company. How cumbersome." A group of businessmen nodded one after another. .

Damn, these people just don't want to standardize management and expose their books.Da Yuer stayed in Dongying for more than a year. Through open and unannounced visits, he knew how much tax these people evaded every year. This would make the rich richer and widen the gap between the rich and the poor.This is one of the evil consequences of mercantilism.

Da Yuer looked again at the three directors who were in charge of the trade in the Dongying area, and found that they shrugged helplessly, probably thinking that Da Yuer's proposal was absurd.

In the past, Chu Yun established the Far East Trading Company to organize businessmen to conduct overseas trade, but now the companies that Da Yuer asked to establish were legal entities, exposing every transaction of the businessmen to the supervision, which is completely different.The Far East Trading Company is actually a management organization, while ordinary companies are legal entities in the modern sense.

"Three directors, I think you also know the views of our businessmen. The company system is completely unfeasible, and its existence will hinder our trade. Therefore, our businessmen propose to reject this proposal." The big businessmen said.

The three official directors looked at each other, and finally one of them said: "The Dongying Branch of the Far East Trading Company has decided not to adopt the corporate system, and everything will continue as usual."

The big businessmen showed satisfied smiles when they heard the ruling of the three official directors.

Da Yuer is just a temporary director sent by the capital, but the real masters are the three official directors who manage the big businessmen here.These few formal directors do not want big businessmen to make trouble.

"The meeting is over." After the three official directors announced the adjournment, they didn't dare to look at Da Yuer's disappointed eyes, packed up the documents and left the meeting place.

"Damn guy...he obeys the shogunate's orders, and once it involves his own interests, he joins forces to deal with me." Da Yu'er saw the empty meeting place after everyone left, and hated herself for not being strong enough.

"Miss, don't worry, we still have a chance in the future." The economics students who came with Da Yuer were waiting outside. When they saw Da Yuer walking out with a frosty face, they knew that things were not going well, so they all comforted her.

"I won't give up. I want to find evidence of their tax evasion and make them pay the price." Da Yuer bit her thin lips lightly.

After the game ended, the big businessmen gathered together, and while celebrating the victory, they were also very wary of Da Yuer, who had cooperated with him before.

"I noticed something was wrong when Da Yu'er promoted bank accounts before, and now she is finally targeting us. I didn't expect to even deal with us." A businessman said.

"Mr. Lu, we have worked with Da Yuer before, and she has always insisted on what she wants to do. Besides, she is very smart. Should we find a way to get her fired?" Another big businessman said.

"I will find a way to get people to impeach her in the capital and remove her. A girl is not at home to support her husband and raise her children, so she wants to show her face to carry out reforms." Lu Lao said.
