Once the Section Chief returned from his meeting, Le Jiakai sought him out, ready to report the situation.
"Section Chief, I need to report something to you. Please take a look at this company's data."
"Is there a problem?"
"This company was established less than three months ago, and in the past two months, it has already reported over 200,000 yuan. I'm not sure if they're committing tax fraud, so I'd like you to review it."
The Section Chief took the form from Le Jiakai's hand and began to study it carefully, as this was a significant matter concerning his future.
From the data, no major issues were apparent, and the amount wasn't large.
However, a new company emerging in the jurisdiction that exported over 1.5 million yuan in less than three months, which would be six to seven million annually, could be considered a good thing.
Of course, if it was tax fraud, that would be a different story.
After a brief thought, the Section Chief said to Le Jiakai:
"Take a few people and visit this company. Don't notify them in advance, but don't make a big scene."
The data provided by Le Jiakai was quite detailed.
Both founders of the company were under 20 years old, yet their declared monthly salary income was 29,000 yuan.
This single point revealed something unusual; it didn't seem like something 19-year-olds could come up with.
Either someone was guiding them from behind, or it was indeed as young Le Jiakai had suspected, something was amiss.
From any perspective, visiting a new emerging enterprise in the jurisdiction was appropriate; of course, there was no need for him to go himself.
"Alright, I'll go arrange it now,"
Le Jiakai nodded.
Leaders move their mouths, subordinates run their legs off.
Since the Section Chief had said so, Le Jiakai could only call two colleagues to go to the site of Jinpeng Trading Co., Ltd. for a look.
At this time, Tan Jincheng was still unaware of these developments.
Today, he and Zhang Xupeng both went to Xixi Village.
Zhang Xupeng was still monitoring the production progress of the OEM factory, while Tan Jincheng wanted to discuss factory expansion with Zhang Haiping.
After Tan Jincheng's reminder last night, Zhang Xupeng also realized the problem.
His recent behavior had indeed been somewhat misleading, and he had also figured things out clearly.
As for liking someone, it seemed a bit far-fetched.
Young Tan Jincheng had been busy lately, spending less time at the company.
In contrast, he himself had a lot more free time and could frequently be in the office.
Through their interactions, Zhang Xupeng became relatively familiar with the Li Yanning sisters.
Li Yanning was older and more serious, and her work was also very busy, so she didn't have much free time to chat with Zhang Xupeng.
Li Jinglan, however, was different.
Li Jinglan was lively and had more free time, and she wasn't at all afraid in front of Zhang Xupeng.
This led Zhang Xupeng to unconsciously seek her out for chats when he was bored.
Ultimately, it was due to being in a foreign place without many friends his age.
Zhang Xupeng was not like Tan Jincheng; he wasn't as mature mentally.
Young Tan Jincheng was right, he should indeed be more careful to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
However, not long after Tan Jincheng sat down, and before he could get to business, he received a call from Li Yanning.
"Boss, a few people from the tax bureau are here, waiting at the company."
Her tone carried a hint of panic.
Ordinary people often subconsciously feel a bit scared when faced with such sudden incidents.
"Yes, I know. I'll be right back,"
Tan Jincheng replied, his expression unchanged.
It wasn't a big deal.
There might be some minor irregularities, but generally, all due taxes had been paid, so it wasn't a major problem.
The business environment in coastal cities was still very good.
"Boss Zhang, the company has an urgent matter to deal with. I'll come by to have tea with you next time."
"Alright, Boss Tan, if you have something to do, go attend to it. You can come anytime; I'll always be at the factory,"
Zhang Haiping nodded.
After leaving Zhang Haiping's factory, Tan Jincheng called the accountant, asking them to go to the company.
Tax officials coming for a visit was undoubtedly related to a tax audit, and it would be inconvenient without an accountant present.
Jinpeng Trading's accountant was part-time and usually didn't need to come to the company.
Hearing about this, they understood and immediately made an excuse to rush to Jinpeng Trading.
At this time, Tan Jincheng was already on his way back.
Compared to the accountant's electric bicycle, Tan Jincheng's arrival would be much faster.
As he reached the entrance, he was met by Li Yanning, who was looking out with an anxious expression.
"What's wrong? Don't panic, speak slowly,"
Tan Jincheng comforted her.
"They said they want to see my accounts and check the data. They're waiting in the office now."
"Okay, I understand. You go back to your work; it'll be fine."
Upon entering the office, he saw three uniformed personnel with relatively mild attitudes.
Seeing the disposable teacups placed in front of each of them, Tan Jincheng secretly nodded.
These two indeed had some foresight, knowing to pour a cup of water.
After entering, Tan Jincheng quickly offered cigarettes and asked with a smile:
"Leaders, I am the legal representative of Jinpeng Trading, my surname is Tan. May I know how to address you?"
Le Jiakai waved his hand to indicate he didn't smoke, and smiled:
"Boss Tan, right? My surname is Le. These are our credentials."
Immediately, he and his two colleagues handed over their identification.
Tan Jincheng quickly glanced at the documents he received and then handed them back, smiling:
"Leader Le, please feel free to instruct us on anything you need our cooperation with."
Seeing Tan Jincheng's good attitude, Le Jiakai also smiled and said:
"Boss Tan, don't be nervous. Your company has been established for less than three months, but your business volume is quite good. We thought of paying a visit. It's our honor to have a promising company emerge in our jurisdiction."
"Understood, understood, we will certainly cooperate. However, Leader Le, please wait a moment, our accountant should arrive in about five minutes, is that alright?"
"It's fine, no rush. Boss Tan, please carry on,"
Le Jiakai nodded.
Financial data, customs declarations, shipping records, etc., were all in the office safe.
Before the accountant arrived, Tan Jincheng first took them out.
To be honest, Tan Jincheng wasn't sure what exactly they would check, so he just took them out and planned to wait for the accountant.
Although he had run a company in his previous life, he wasn't a professional in taxation and truly didn't understand it.
Moreover, it was 2005, and many policies and regulations were different, so Tan Jincheng really didn't know much about these matters.
While waiting for the accountant to arrive, the three, led by Le Jiakai, began to look through the data Tan Jincheng had provided, and also engaged Tan Jincheng in conversation.
"Boss Tan, you mentioned that your company's first two orders came from the Canton Fair?"
"That's right, during the autumn Canton Fair in October."
"Oh? Then Boss Tan must have invested quite a bit. How come this expense isn't seen in the company's accounts?"
"Leader Le, you've misunderstood. At that time, the company had just opened; where would we get the money to buy a booth? I picked up orders by 'piggybacking' at the exhibition hall. The airfare reimbursement is in that small blue folder. Other expenses I didn't reimburse are counted as my personal expenses."
Le Jiakai nodded.
At this point, the accountant also arrived, so Tan Jincheng handed over the documents to the accountant, who could explain things more clearly when communicating with them.
After a thorough search and comparison, it was found that there were no issues whatsoever with the company's tax refunds.
However, there were quite a few minor problems, but these were understandable.
For a small company, where accountants are often part-time, some minor issues are inevitable.
As long as they honestly pay their taxes, they are a good company.
Le Jiakai could also see that Boss Tan knew a little about taxation but not much, so he patiently explained some issues to him.
Tan Jincheng listened carefully and stated that he would definitely conduct a thorough review and make rectifications.
This attitude made Le Jiakai very satisfied.
When Tan Jincheng saw the three out, he became even more satisfied when he noticed that each of them inexplicably had a Tianrunfa supermarket card in their pockets.
These things definitely couldn't be kept and had to be turned in, but this boss was quite sensible.
To be able to start a company in another city at such a young age, he indeed had some capability.
