Initially, Gap's purpose in bringing back copies of those original ledgers was to use his extra time to better revise them to make more sense.
He didn't think it was a wrongful and criminal act; at the time, the Ristoan Group was still one of the most important businesses in Sabine, and as an accountant he was well aware of just how important the mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial relationship between business and government was.
It was even possible that the city hall would support Ristoan's internal revision of the books to avoid being implicated in the HENG HUI Group's malpractice.
As for the different contents of the two sides of the ledger?
That's not a problem, it's just that someone is trying to use despicable and dirty means to bring down our pillar industry group of companies, making our citizens lose their jobs and leaving tens of thousands of families unprotected.
Not to mention that City Hall and the Mayor himself would not agree to this, the citizens of all of Sabine would not agree to this, and that is the value of local protectionism and how powerful it can be.
The group of companies that never lose a lawsuit on their turf, and the group that consistently fails to file cases locally in the face of all kinds of trouble, is not really that they and their owners are above the law.
Rather, it is that the value of the group's continued existence far outweighs the value of their downfall; at least their existence may be harmful to some capitalists, but it is valuable and beneficial to most ordinary people, and then they must exist.
But things were different now after all, with both City Hall and the state government unhappy with the group of companies, and the copy of the original ledger in Gap's hands, which hadn't really been much of a problem, had become a hot potato.
Rationally speaking to destroy it is more appropriate a little bit, lost these original books, even in the group's accounts to find out the problem, they will also need a lot of time to repeatedly ask for evidence, which has a long period of investigation.
The various legal power applications involved would be so long that many people would gradually forget about these things, and it was possible that the group companies had already migrated away, and some of their applications had not been fully approved.
But there was a voice in Gap's mind telling him that he had to leave this ledger behind, a small habit in preventing risks as a worker who dealt with numbers on a regular basis.
In case the slightest thing did go wrong, there needed to be some fallback after all!
The next day, Vera reversed the process of setting up a cross-clearing account with the FLOURISH Bank in Sabine through an account she had registered with a foreign bank, and, in the name of the offshore account, entrusted the bank with the opening of a safe and access to it in the form of authentication with a password.
This is a very common business, in the current international scope does not exist in any substantial sense of the international currency, each wide range of areas within a more unified currency area may exist, although the international settlement is still lack of the mainstream of the common co-currency.
In some cross-border trade merchants will entrust the settlement of currency remittances to a bank with foreign exchange settlement qualifications, although each bank says it has such qualifications, but there are still some gaps.
Vera had registered a public account, which made it easier for her to operate some legitimate tax evasion for herself or her clients, and in the Baylor Federation almost every accountant who had ever registered had a couple of such doors or accounts.
Thanks to Gap's reasonably successful career and high level of contacts, Vera had also registered one of these offshore accounts.
Immediately afterward, she sent those account books that Gap had handed over to her, along with some unseen evidence of various kinds, to FLOURISH Bank for entrusted safekeeping.
The opening conditions of this kind of safe were often unique, either there was some kind of seal, such as a banknote torn in half like the ones often seen in Chinese movies, or some kind of dexterous little mechanism.
More often than not, though, it's the combination that allows anyone to open the safe as long as they have the right combination.
But again, no one can easily open these safes without a combination, even if everyone knows that there may be something illegal inside.
Simply applying to the courts for this power was a lengthy process, and the legal department within the bank would do everything possible to prevent the courts and judges from granting these applications as a way of ensuring the privacy and security of the customers, which was especially important for the bank's reputation.
After that was taken care of, Vera made her way to her office.
The entire finance office had more than doubled in size, and in addition to her as the head of finance, she had recruited almost two dozen employees under her command.
These were partly on this side of the office, and partly dispersed to different branches for important jobs.
Along the way, people, no matter how busy they were, would stop and greet her with a smile when they saw her, and it gave Vera a different kind of experience, one she couldn't quite put her finger on, but was happy for herself that her work, as well as her abilities, were being recognized by others.
It hadn't been long since she had sat down, taking a serious look at a couple of papers sitting on her desk that she wanted to sign, and before she had a chance to look at them in detail, her secretary knocked on the door to the room.
Every day after she arrived at her office and sat down, her secretary, who was also her alumni sister, would bring in a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Alumni, sorority, fraternity, these kinds of relationships were all over the Baylor Federation and were considered one of the most reliable.
Vera hadn't actually had much contact with this schoolmate before this, and didn't even know of the person, but when she wanted a secretary, her first thought was to contact the sisterhood she had been a part of in college.
They had recommended this girl and she had claimed her.
"Put it over there!" , she flashed some smiles, looking at the girl with some care, some adoration look on her face, and her heavy heart became a little lighter.
The girl placed the coffee cup with its saucer in a corner of the table, and instead of leaving right away, she relayed that Lynch had just come by and had wanted Vera to stop by his office if she had time.
It was rare that Lynch would call Vera, he would come over and run when he needed something, and sometimes Vera would tell him off, saying that there was no need for him to come back and forth in person.
On the one hand, Lynch's constant trips to his own office were a source of unavoidable rumors, and on the other hand, he didn't think it was necessary, and that a phone call would be more convenient than taking action.
But to Vera's surprise, Lynch asked her a question in return - "What would people think if they always saw you coming into my office constantly?"
"They'd think you used your pretty face to get where you are, or even ... that it's unfair to you."
"On the contrary, I wouldn't have such a problem if I went to your side, people would just think that I just like you, they wouldn't look at you in certain disgusting ways."
"We all know that there is a lot of unfairness in this society, but we can't change that, we can only try to avoid it as much as possible!"
If she hadn't considered the fact that she was married, that she was way older than Lynch, and that she already had a child, Vera would have thought she could have considered Lynch.
At least he knew how to respect women, and he put himself in their shoes in a way that Vera had never experienced before, and very few people in this society did that!
A young man who knew how to be likable, it made it impossible not to like him, but of course that liking was pure.
Vera nodded haughtily, and when the secretary girl had left she savored her coffee and looked over these papers on her desk before getting up and heading to Lynch's office.
They were currently renting the office of a finance company that had been dissolved at a previous stage due to breaking some regulations, and this office of theirs would be put up for judicial auction after all the violations had been dealt with.
But in the process, Lynch rented it.
It wasn't long before Vera showed up in Lynch's office, and there were individual girls in the office who still had a very strange look on their faces, like they were on the same side as Vera, which would be considered workplace harassment.
But there were also emotions that stood in Lynch's position of hating him for being ungrateful; with all the girls in the office, why would they fall for one that already had a child? (Apparently, Lord Lynch. likes mature women.)
Vera, who had just entered, closed the office door out of habit, and she sat down naturally in the chair opposite Lynch, relaxed too, with none of the uneasiness that subordinates felt when meeting their bosses.
She even made a small joke, "You didn't see the look on the faces of those girls outside when I entered your room just now, they must have wished it was themselves who could come in, not me."
Lynch laughed, not discussing the issue that could easily lead to embarrassment for both parties.
"I've already negotiated matters of cooperation with the investors over there in Quriland, and soon their funds will arrive, and at that time you'll need to help me with my personal assets."
Lynch had only sold the equity he was holding to the other party at a price he thought was appropriate and the other party thought was appropriate as well, so the money wasn't considered to be counted in the company's account, but rather in his personal income.
Of course, this part of the gain was taxable, and Vera managed Lynch's personal finances.
She nodded, making a note of it, and casually asked, "Do you need to do a tax shelter?"
Lynch frowned, then breathed a sigh of relief, "Routine operation, I guess, no need for extreme tax avoidance, can't pay too much, but not too little either."
There were many ways to avoid taxes, the Federation's tax avoidance adopted two systems, proportion and quota, tax exemption according to a percentage, as well as giving a certain amount, the latter was more common, but the former was more operational.
According to the Federation tax bureau, like Lynch's current monthly income of more than 50,000 yuan of individuals at least have to pay no less than 5% fifteen percent of all kinds of taxes, but in reality, this kind of people pay taxes may be less pitiful.
As long as the operation is correct, through some unsound legal provisions, Lynch can even not pay taxes, because his income is "zero". (This is also a way for many big or rich people to avoid taxes, but of course, this way of avoiding taxes is already outdated now.)
