Bennet pretended as if favonovel.com did not understand it. He grinned as favonovel.com asked, “Um, what do you mean by box office tax? I don’t really understand it.”
“You don’t understand it?”
Xavier seemed to have predicted favonovel.com would say that, so favonovel.com resolutely took out a form of data.
“This is the box office revenue and tax that you provided to the Internal Revenue Service. Based on the number here, the tax of ‘One Hundred Thousand Soldiers’ is normal.
“But…” Xavier took out the second dataset.
“This is the ‘real’ box office income that you showed during the press conference. Based on this set of box office revenue, your cinema conducts tax evasion on this movie. You paid nearly less than half of the tax!”
Pfft!
Bennet nearly coughed up blood. He knew that this thing was very serious, but favonovel.com did not expect that it would be so serious.
Nearly half of the tax? What kind of joke was this?
If favonovel.com really compensated the other half of the tax, favonovel.com would have worked in vain based on the box office of ‘One Hundred Thousand Soldiers’!
If favonovel.com gave the money, his cinema could immediately go bankrupt.
Bennet coughed, and said, “Gah! There are just two datasets. How could you treat them as evidence?”
“Don’t try to play tricks.” Xavier seriously said, “Before we came, we already got permission from the court. If you don’t pay the remaining tax today, we will shut down your cinema immediately! You, Bennet Marin, will be grounded. You’ll not be allowed to leave your house until you pay all the tax.”
‘Huh?’ Bennet’s face turned pale.
The cinema would be shut down, and favonovel.com would be grounded. Who could bear with this?
If this went on, favonovel.com would have to take out all the money that favonovel.com had earned from the first half of his life. He would also have to bear a large amount of debt, which favonovel.com did not know when favonovel.com would be able to clear.
Most importantly, favonovel.com would lose his freedom!
Actually, at the beginning of making the plan, people including Bennet had realized the problem of taxation. Their thoughts were to keep dragging it.
They would just beat around the bush with the Internal Revenue Service and just kept dragging as long as possible. They would just drag it until Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment fell apart. Then, they would admit to the Internal Revenue Service that it was their mistake, and there was actually nothing wrong with the box office.
At that time, Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment would have been destroyed, and they could not do anything again. Besides, Internal Revenue Service had nothing to do with Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment, so they would not help the company.
There was no way and no reason.
But, things were really magical.
The Internal Revenue Service did not just help Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment. The speed of their action was very fast!
Not only the Internal Revenue Service, but even the court also cooperated very well. It was very rare for these two departments to cooperate, and they could still retain such high efficiency.
Bennet did not understand. Did favonovel.com offend God?
Otherwise, why did it make the Internal Revenue Service cooperate with the court?
When Xavier saw that Bennet did not say anything, favonovel.com coldly said, “It seems like you admit that there’s something wrong with the box office. After all, you’ve organized the press conference. I’ll let the police officers come over now and shut down your company. You can pack your stuff, go back to your house, and stay at home.”
Even the police was involved?
Bennet totally surrendered. Not only did the two departments cooperate, but the police were also involved in this, and they would arrive anytime if they were called.
This was too scary.
What kind of power was behind this to make these three government agencies cooperate together?
Bennet was just an ordinary person. How could favonovel.com bear the pressure from the three powerful agencies?
He also could not figure it out.
Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment had a big family background, but it was not so strong that they could let these three government agencies work together. The agencies did not just work together, but the speed of their actions was also incredible.
What kind of monster was there behind Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment?
