Chapter 3496 Statue of 250 Million

Elsa looked weird.

"Mr. Lin, I am an EU official and I have a doctorate in law. For your behavior, I can accuse you of obstructing justice," Aisha said.

"Haha, but this is not Europe, it is Libya, right? And I am just asking you for advice in a private capacity, and there is no act beyond my authority. You can say it or not. I will never force you." Lin Fengxiao said.

.

Aisha curled her lips. If this wasn't Libya and Gaddafi's palace, she wouldn't bother to talk to Lin Feng. But Lin Feng was a distinguished guest invited by his father Gaddafi, and this time Gaddafi invited Lin Feng to come.

Having something to ask for, Aisha couldn't bear to refute Lin Feng's face too much, so as not to ruin her father's plan. After thinking about it, she could only reveal a little.

"Mr. Lin, regarding the unfair competition law, the economic situation of the EU is not very good. Except for Germany, which has an excellent economy, the economies of other countries are in decline, especially in countries such as Greece and Iceland. Therefore, the EU has been

I am very concerned about the impact of today's foreign companies on the EU. And because your 'Dingdang.com' involves overseas purchasing, there are great hidden dangers in taxation. In particular, many Chinese products, even Western products, can be remitted from abroad through private parties.

Come here, because the amount of the single item is too small, and it is a personal mail, it is difficult to pay the corresponding tax. In the past, the traffic was not large, and the European Union did not pay attention. Now your 'Dingdang.com' has at least more than 10,000 items from

People from all over the world enter the EU through your 'Dingdong.com'. Calculated every year, the EU's tax losses are at least hundreds of millions of euros." Aisha analyzed.

Lin Feng frowned.

"In fact, the EU is not only investigating your 'Dingdang.com', but also investigating Amazon, Starbucks, Google and other companies. These companies are all involved in tax issues. And your 'Dingdang.com' has the largest business volume.

So I bear the brunt of it!" Elsa explained.

"But the profit of my 'Dingdang.com' is the lowest. Although the quantity is large, the profit is very thin, and a large part of it is c2c transactions. It is the transaction between individual sellers and individual buyers." Lin Feng

explained.

"About this, the tax authorities will not recognize this. Instead, they will think that your company is evading taxes. Once there is sufficient evidence to prove it, they will impose heavy penalties on you." Aisha said, "The EU's overall economy is not good.

, all countries have been thinking of ways to tax, hoping to use this to increase national income. And your companies are hugely famous, but tax revenue is very small. For example, Starbucks has created 3.1 billion pounds in the UK alone in the past 14 years.

Income, but the tax it paid was only 8.6 million US dollars, which was far lower than its turnover. There is also Amazon, whose sales in the EU exceeded 1 billion euros. But the tax it paid was only 1 million euros.

. And Google, citing losses, has only paid more than 3 million euros in sales of tens of billions of euros." Aisha shook her head, with a look of disdain, "These companies will do anything for profit.

Come on, it’s tax evasion. It’s simply unconscionable!”

Lin Feng curled his lips. This is so unscrupulous. This is too exaggerated. Even if these companies really try every means to evade taxes, they can't be said to be unscrupulous.

"Mr. Lin. In the West, if you commit a crime, you can be said to be impulsive. If you deliberately evade taxes, then the Western government will regard you as the biggest enemy of society, because your behavior will destroy society.

The construction will lead to the survival of the country." Aisha said coldly.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. However, in the West, tax evasion is indeed regarded as the biggest enemy of society and the country. Because a country relies on taxation to maintain it. If there is no taxation, the country will not be able to maintain it, and everyone evades taxation.

, then the country will eventually collapse.

"Okay, then tell me what should I do now?" Lin Feng asked.

"Standardize operations and pay taxes in accordance with the law. The scale of online transactions is getting larger and larger now, with tens of billions of dollars involved every year. It is expected that the amount of online transactions will exceed 100 billion U.S. dollars in the future. This is an extremely huge

market, but there are huge loopholes in its taxation. Whether it is your 'Dingdang.com', Amazon, or other companies, they have now attracted the attention of the European Union. The only way your company can save itself is to pay taxes according to the law! Otherwise

, once the evidence is obtained, you will face heavy penalties!" Aisha said.

"But a large part of my 'Dingdang.com's current sales in the EU come from ordinary sellers. I only provide the platform, and I provide the platform completely free of charge." Lin Feng asked.

"That's your problem. In short, when your goods enter the EU, you must pay taxes. Of course, the EU cannot pay taxes on individuals, it can only pay taxes on you. This is also a problem faced by Amazon." Aisha said.

"How did Amazon solve the problem?" Lin Feng asked.

Elsa shook her head.

"This involves Amazon's trade secrets and the EU investigation report. I can't tell you. I'm a lawyer. Telling you so much has already violated the rules. I can't tell you more." Aisha finished.

He ignored Lin Feng and turned around to leave.

Lin Feng shrugged helplessly, looked at Aisha's retreating back, and shook his head. Fortunately, he estimated that he would have to stay here for a day or two, so he still had plenty of time.

Afterwards, Lin Feng went to bed in the guest room under the arrangement of the maid. On the next day, Lin Feng, under Gaddafi's warm invitation, had a very Libyan breakfast, and then went with Gaddafi to give him

Ribbon cutting on the golden statue.

Tripoli Port is the largest port in Tripoli, with an annual throughput of more than 60 million tons. It transports Libyan natural gas, oil and other materials to the outside world in exchange for food, machinery, building materials and other materials.

In the central square area of ​​​​the port, there is a statue covered by red cloth. Gaddafi and Lin Feng are standing under the statue at the moment, looking at the cheering crowds around, Gaddafi enthusiastically

Delivering a speech.

"All citizens of Tripoli, all citizens of Libya, today we invite the most distinguished guest in the world, Mr. Lin Feng from China." Gaddafi took the lead in applauding, and there was crazy applause all around.

Lin Feng glanced around and smiled faintly. This Gaddafi actually used the army to order the surrounding passers-by to applaud, just like in China. This is really quite 'Chinese'. Otherwise, I'm afraid there wouldn't be such people here.

Many people applauded. No matter how famous I am, it is impossible for me to be famous in any city in the world. It is also impossible for me to receive such crazy applause here.

"Mr. Lin Feng, he is the richest man in the world, he is the father of games, he is an IT giant, he is a friend of our Africans, and a friend of our Arabs!" Gaddafi cheered, "Let us celebrate Mr. Lin

Applause for the arrival!”

The applause rang out warmly again.

Lin Feng helplessly clapped along. This applause was too fake. Lin Feng had never seen anyone clapping so hard.

"Here today, I built a statue made of pure gold for Mr. Lin. This is to thank Mr. Lin for his contribution to the African people and to thank Mr. Lin for helping the African people enter the online world. Now I would like to ask Mr. Lin to do this for this statue.

A golden statue is unveiled!" Gaddafi said loudly.

Lin Feng nodded towards Gaddafi, then grabbed the red cloth, and then pulled it hard, and the red cloth fell. A glittering, life-sized statue of Lin Feng suddenly appeared in front of everyone, in the center of the Tripoli port. The statue was made of '

The figure of Lin Feng on the roof of the "Light of the Century" building has a sword pointing into the distance and his eyes are shining. What is different from the figure of Lin Feng in the "Light of the Century" is that this statue made of pure gold has two eyes inlaid in it.

A huge black diamond, the dark light shines under the sunlight, emitting black light, which is frightening and dazzling to see.

Lin Feng couldn't help but marvel at this moment.

"President Gaddafi, it really cost you money!" Lin Feng exclaimed. Such a statue may cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Made of pure gold and life-like proportions, Lin Feng's volume is about 0.65 cubic meters, and the density of gold is

It is 19.26 grams per cubic centimeter. The mass is the volume multiplied by the density. Then the total weight of this statue made of pure gold is about 12,519,000 grams, which is equal to 12,519 kilograms, which is equal to 12.519 tons. According to the current market gold price, it is about 150 yuan per gram, 12.519 tons.

That is 1.87785 billion yuan, which is approximately equivalent to 235 million U.S. dollars.

This is just the value of the statue, which is equivalent to approximately US$235 million, not counting the two black diamonds in the statue's eye sockets. Among diamonds, black diamonds are the most mysterious and expensive. Lin Feng does not know how much they weigh.

But at least the value of these two black diamonds will not be less than 10 million U.S. dollars. Calculating this, Gaddafi spent 250 million U.S. dollars on this statue.

This is really a big gesture. Not only that, such a valuable statue is in this port and in the middle of the square. Naturally, a lot of soldiers must be placed on duty, otherwise it may be stolen at any time. This investment is really

It's grown up.

"Haha, although this statue is a little more expensive, in my opinion, it is a good deal. Because Mr. Lin, your contribution to the African people deserves such reward. You are the best friend of our African people!" Gaddafi shouted.

Laughing, "Of course, he is also a friend of our Arab people."
