Chapter 1099 The Wind Direction Has Changed Again

It surprised Fan Wubing. This is the time line when Fan Heng and Boss Zhu are eating. There was no mention of tax loopholes throughout the day. It wasn't until after dinner that Boss Zhu said hello to Fan Wubing. "How about I receive a group of friends from the business community tonight and come over to stay with me if you're not sick?"

Fan Wubing was surprised and was about to turn it down when Fan Heng agreed on his behalf, "Of course there is no problem.

There's something weird about it. Fan Wubing had a gut feeling that there was some tacit understanding between his father Fan Heng and Boss Zhu, so he didn't ask any more questions. Just asked, "How late at night? I'm afraid I'll be sleepy and lack energy."

"It won't be very late, we will have the affair before ten thirty," Boss Zhu said.

"That's okay." Fan Wubing nodded. If he said that he went to bed before half past ten, no one would believe him.

At his age. As long as his wife doesn't care too much and there are too many things at home, who doesn't have some entertainment at night? Besides, he is in this status and position, how can he be the kind of person who doesn't have anything to do during the day? People who have nothing to do with birds at night?

Wait until everyone has tidied up. After leaving, Fan Wubing got into Boss Zhu's car and asked the driver to follow him slowly in his car.

"How is your company doing recently?" Boss Zhu asked casually.

Boss Zhu and Fan Wubing were sitting in the back seat, and his female secretary was sitting in the front passenger seat. The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties who seemed to be a soldier. He has a very strict and upright look.

"It's okay. The stall is too big and it's hard for me to take care of all aspects. Anyway, I have senior executives from the headquarters keeping an eye on me. Unless something unusual happens, I will pay attention. Usually I It’s not a big worry,” Fan Wubing replied.

Fan Wubing was indeed telling the truth. What he has been busy with recently is just walking around to see what bottlenecks everyone has and see if he can be of any help. Or just go and learn about the development of each company and provide support on financial issues that need to be solved.

But overall. All the companies under the Fan Investment Group are doing well, that is, there are only a few newly built companies such as Southeast Heavy Industry Group, which need a lot of financial support, or ports under construction such as Jiangshan Port and Hengshan Port that need a lot of capital. There is really no way to spend money on support and other things. On the contrary, there are many cash cows.

Combined, the income of Fan Reinvestment Group's major domestic enterprises is enough to support the current large aircraft projects and the operation of several large projects such as ports and Southeast Heavy Industry. This also shows that Fan Investment Group's domestic enterprises have moved away from It has reached a state of net investment in the initial stage of construction and has entered a period of high development.

if not.

Taking the large aircraft project and several other port projects, plus the construction costs of Southeast Heavy Industry, the first private military enterprise in the country, the annual investment is at least tens of billions, and the net investment will last for several years. How can an ordinary consortium afford it?

But Fan Investment Group is now able to survive solely on domestic revenue, which is amazing.

Soon, Boss Zhu's car was heard outside the great hall, and then someone came to greet him. He entered a magnificently decorated hall inside, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The lights in the hall were like daylight, which made Fan Wubing It felt very dazzling, and I realized that the power in the capital was indeed extremely abundant.

There were several leaders from relevant departments waiting here. When Fan Wubing appeared, they burst into warm applause. Fan Wubing followed closely behind Boss Zhu and walked in. He found that there were actually hundreds of friends from the business community here who were waiting to meet. They had already stood in formation, probably to take a group photo. .

So under the guidance of the staff, Fan Wubing followed Boss Zhu all the way, stopped in the middle of the crowd, sat down, and assumed a standard posture, and then the cameraman held up his camera and swept across with a panoramic lens. I looked at it twice before I was done.

At this moment, the flashbulbs of the media around him came on, even Fan Wubing who was used to big scenes. I also felt a little uncomfortable, because even though he was a big shot. However, I have always been reclusive and unwilling to get into trouble with the media. This time I have been photographed by the media in front of a large audience. This is actually a very limited experience.

Fan Wubing also noticed it. Among these friends from the business community, many of them have seen me. When they saw me following Boss Zhu closely, or even in front of several deputy ministers behind him, everyone's expressions seemed... Very surprised and obviously thought this was an incredible thing.

After all, no matter how rich and powerful Fan Wubing was, that is, a businessman, how could he be above the status of an official?

This is something that makes people wonder, and after Boss Zhu briefly said a few words to everyone, he announced another piece of news, that is, the government department will recently conduct strict investigations on tax evasion and tax evasion. "Hongshan has a different body", saying that people who read adultery are beautiful when they are outside. It also shows the harmfulness of tax evasion, the seriousness of the harm to the people of thousands of countries, and the attitude of countries around the world towards tax evasion and tax evasion. We have adopted a consistent response and later reiterated our determination to combat this illegal behavior.

After that, it was a cocktail party for everyone.

Boss Zhu's words made everyone feel a little unusual. Logically, this was just an ordinary dinner to entertain business friends at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. There was no reason to announce such a sudden news. Judging from Boss Zhu's expression, he was not happy at all.

So everyone thought of the recent efforts of the industrial and commercial departments to crack down on tax evasion by multinational companies. From the change from strict control of tax evasion to severe crackdown on tax evasion, everyone thought that this time the central government's direction may have changed again, and the focus of tax work has begun to shift.

In fact, as for the reform of the tax-sharing system, from now on, the central government's finances have indeed been greatly improved, and it can also cope with many large-scale infrastructure construction. The central government has money and can coordinate many things, and is no longer constrained by local governments. This is a good thing.

However, the current tax-sharing system also encounters many problems in actual operation.

Looking back now, the tax-sharing reform that was only carried out in 1994 was more like a half-hearted reform.

At that time, it only clarified the proportion of financial power or tax revenue sharing between the central government and the provinces, but the power of affairs was not clearly defined. The power of affairs and financial power did not match. China's unified vertical administrative management system made it easy for the upper-level government to push many powers and expenditure responsibilities to the lower-level government. So last year, a large number of academic articles were discussing the financial bankruptcy of local governments.

Local governments and their departments also carried out many non-standard charging projects and the so-called universal income generation, which resulted in a large number of ** and the problem of government-enterprise integration. Later, local governments found an outlet for land finance. Since 1997, China has opened up housing credit, and in 1998, it carried out housing welfare system reform. At this time, local governments suddenly saw a cash flow, that is, land can be sold for money.

First, the "urban operation plan" of Dalian, Qingdao and other cities and the cross-strait and one-river plan of Shanghai Pudong were quickly copied by the whole country. But now it seems that this model of living beyond one's means is difficult to continue, which has forced many people to re-examine the tax-sharing reform of that year.

Tax-sharing has a nice name, and everyone originally thought it was fiscal decentralization and in line with foreign countries. The actual result was fiscal centralization. The goal at that time was also to increase the proportion of fiscal revenue in GDP and the proportion of central finance in total fiscal revenue.

The main focus of the reform is to enhance the macro-control ability of the central government and clarify the central government's The relationship between the distribution of financial resources between the central and local governments was changed. Taxes were uniformly divided into central taxes, local taxes and central-local shared taxes. Central and local tax bureaus were set up separately, thus establishing a tax-sharing fiscal management system between the central and local governments. This is the origin of the name of the tax-sharing fiscal management system.

According to the requirements of the State Council, local governments at all levels at that time basically referred to the central government's approach to the local system and concentrated tax revenue from local governments. Such a top-down tax-sharing fiscal management system reform provides an institutionalized path for higher-level governments to concentrate the fiscal revenue of lower-level governments.

In other words, this idea of ​​centralizing financial power upwards is not only At the central government level, the logic of centralizing funds from lower-level governments was formed at the provincial, municipal and county levels. As a result, the power to provide public products and services has been continuously transferred downward, while the financial power has been continuously collected upward. The financial power and power of county and township governments have been increasingly divergent, which has greatly aggravated their financial difficulties.

Why did the tax-sharing system reform draft at that time? In fact, it was largely because the fiscal contracting system implemented in the 1980s reduced the central government's ability to extract funds.

In the game between the central government and local governments, the central government has become less and less wealthy, while the local governments have become more and more wealthy. At that time, the local governments in the Pearl River Delta and other places were in a state of conflict with the central government. The government's negotiating power is increasing, and under this unified administrative system, the most worrying thing is the feudal economy, so the central decision-makers at the time were anxious. How can this continue?

At that time, local governments collected taxes, and the central government did not collect taxes independently. According to the contract system, local governments deducted the amount submitted to the central government, and the rest belonged to themselves.

Under this institutional arrangement, local governments can collect less taxes and more fees, because the fees collected are all local. Some places even let enterprises undertake the construction of public infrastructure themselves, such as the roads in front of the enterprises themselves. The enterprises repaired them by themselves, and the government promised that the enterprises would pay less taxes.
