Chapter 3702: Sky-High Fine
Many bosses trembled for a while, and Lin Feng was as cold as hell, like the king of hell in the palace of hell.
"Lin...Mr. Lin, we haven't chosen yet!" Several bosses said timidly, relying on their courage.
Lin Feng smiled coldly.
"You had a choice just now, but now you have no choice!" Lin Feng sneered.
"Well, what do you want?" Many bosses were frightened.
"It's very simple. Everything is done in accordance with the law, and I will file a claim against you on behalf of the diners who have eaten!" Lin Feng smiled lightly.
Claim on behalf of those diners? How much can this cost? These bosses looked suspicious. After all, you must have a basis for this claim, but most people are not in the habit of getting invoices. If there is no invoice, how can you prove that you ate at my place. According to their invoice records, most people will not ask for invoices except those officials who come to eat and ask for invoices for reimbursement. Officials usually do not come forward to testify against themselves.
If this official comes out to testify against these hotels, isn't that automatically exposing his own corruption? These officials are not that stupid! Since these officials are not that stupid, how many people can accuse them? How much compensation can be paid for all this compensation? Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions? Is this money comparable to half of their net worth? Half of the people here have a net worth of at least tens of millions. In contrast, they are really not afraid of claiming compensation.
Lin Feng smiled lightly.
"If you're not afraid of claiming compensation, let's wait and see!" After Lin Feng finished speaking, he turned and left.
All the bosses were stunned. Lin Feng came so aggressively, but left so calmly. This really makes these bosses nonsensical. I can't figure out what kind of trick Lin Feng is pulling off. But after Lin Feng left, all the bosses gathered around the fat, middle-aged man.
"Boss Zhao, are you willing to give up half of your net worth? Your net worth is hundreds of millions, and you are so willing to give up?" Many bosses asked.
Originally, everyone was equal, and everyone formed an alliance to fight against Lin Feng. As a result, now Boss Zhao has made a choice and used half of his wealth to atone for his sins. Doesn't this mean that he has broken with them? If it turns out later that they only compensated a small part of the money, which is less than half of their net worth, then they can still laugh at Boss Zhao, but if in the end their losses are greater than half of their net worth, they will feel bad. Everyone was originally united as an alliance, but now they are divided. How can this work? Everyone must be punished together!
"I'm willing to give it up! As long as I can be completely exempted from guilt, why not give up! Besides, this is just a favor to Lin Feng. I believe that in the future, if we have a chance to meet again, we may be able to take this opportunity to build a relationship with Lin Feng. Why are we reluctant to give up!" Boss Zhao! He glanced at the surrounding bosses with disdain.
These guys are now typical haters and laughers. They don't want to lose too much, but they are afraid that they will lose even more in the end. And with a unique person like themselves here, their mentality at the moment must be extremely tangled.
Deserve it! Boss Zhao sneered. These guys just wisely protected themselves and deserved it!
"Okay, I'm going to leave first and prepare to transfer the cash to Lin Feng. Goodbye, everyone! I hope you have a good ending." Boss Zhao waved to everyone and walked out the door, but when he got to the door, he thought about what he had just said Everyone's faces were filled with resentment, "But Lin Feng is not an ordinary person, so I guess your ending will not be good. So, if there is any accident, I will burn incense for you during the holidays." Prayers!”
What! What do you mean? Is this a curse on us? Many bosses were furious,
Swearing. But at this moment, the boss Zhao smiled coldly, turned around and left without caring about these people.
Go ahead and scold me. Let’s wait until the court session to see if you can still curse me!
Three days later, with the bosses anxious, the court session began. As soon as the court opened, these bosses were shocked. This court trial not only accused these diners of using gutter oil and endangering their health, but also brought criminal charges against them for endangering public lives. This surprised them. And not only that, what really frightens them is that the court also accused them of tax evasion.
sky! how so! How could it become a criminal offence? Crimes of endangering public safety and tax evasion, wouldn't this cost their lives! Immediately, many bosses began to roar in the court, angrily denouncing this as an illegal charge. But obviously, they also underestimated the court. Although China has a saying that the law does not punish the public, it is obvious that their "public" has not reached a level that makes the court afraid and dare not deal with it.
Immediately, the court ordered them to shut up, otherwise they would be charged with the crime of ranting in court. Afterwards, many bosses had no choice but to quiet down under the warning of the bailiff behind them. However, they haven't given up yet. They want to see how many years Lin Feng can convict them.
The first one is the diners’ claim.
"Attorney General, since there are so many diners, it is impossible for all of them to come and make complaints. This time, my client, Mr. Lin Feng, represented 780,000 diners from 13 cities and filed complaints against these 127 bosses, accusing them of illegally using gutter oil, which may cause these diners to suffer from various diseases in the future. We hired a hospital to conduct a comprehensive physical examination on these 780,000 diners, and conducted detailed physical examination items such as blood draws and trace element tests. Finally, according to the conclusions drawn by 32 tertiary hospitals across the country, these patients are likely to suffer from various blood and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as unpredictable cancers such as esophageal cancer and bladder cancer in the future due to eating gutter oil. Attorney General, this is the conclusion drawn by the hospital, please take a look!" The lawyer hired by Lin Feng handed the relevant physical examination results and evaluation reports to the Attorney General.
Of course, this is only a small part. If all of them are brought over, they can be loaded on several large trucks. After all, the physical examination reports of 780,000 patients, and each physical examination report and related detailed evaluations, are as many as a dozen pages. The total thickness of this is enough to build a skyscraper. And it would take several years to read all these reports. Therefore, only a dozen copies were randomly sampled this time.
"What! Comprehensive physical examination! Damn, how much will it cost!" Many bosses were about to faint when they heard this.
This general physical examination costs about hundreds of yuan, but according to what the lawyer said, it is a comprehensive and detailed physical examination, which costs a lot. These bosses have also done the most detailed physical examinations before. The ultra-high precision physical examination costs about 100,000 yuan. Even the general, comprehensive physical examination will cost thousands of yuan. This, multiplied by the number of 780,000, the cost is too amazing.
This will make them lose most of their property.
"Prosecutor, this is the most conservative assessment data finally assessed by the hospital based on this assessment report. About each patient should prepare at least 300,000 yuan as a prevention fund. Then 780,000 people, that is 234 billion yuan! And then count the physical examination costs before this, the total is 234 billion and 820,000!" The lawyer said with a serious face.
What! 234 billion US dollars! This is too much! All of them combined don't even have a fraction of 234 billion yuan. Damn it! This is impossible! Many bosses roared immediately. They didn't have so much money to pay compensation. And even if they used gutter oil, they didn't make so much money.
The Attorney General was also hesitant. This compensation of 234 billion yuan is really too much. This completely makes these bosses penniless from now on, and they still owe a large debt. Is this claim appropriate?
"Attorney General, although they didn't make so much money from gutter oil, please remember that this is a claim against them. Their harm did not bring them enough profits, but it brought enough harm to these diners. Therefore, they must be punished. Otherwise, in the long run, the cost of crime is too low, which will encourage everyone to commit crimes! Instead of punishing after the fact, it is better to prevent it in advance!" The lawyer said loudly.
This fine amount was drafted by Lin Feng. It is to set an example. In China, the cost of crime in too many industries is too low, which prompts people to commit crimes. In the past, these bosses were fined a few million yuan at most. Of course, this is still a lot. Sometimes, they bribed the municipal government and fined hundreds of thousands of yuan! And they made tens of millions of yuan, and what would they think if they were fined so little? Obviously, they would continue to commit crimes. After all, the cost of crime is too low. Especially in the catering industry, this is even more so.
Therefore, only heavy penalties can scare these businesses and make them dare not break the law.
The prosecutor nodded. Under normal circumstances, he would not agree with these lawyers to punish them like this. After all, there are many bosses, 127 people, which is nothing in the whole country. But for some cities, it is still a force. If the fines are continued like this, it is afraid that it will hit the catering industry in these cities. It may even have an impact on the catering industry across the country. Therefore, this kind of case is really a case of the law not punishing the masses.
But this time, the higher-ups have already taken care of them and asked them to act strictly in accordance with the law. They naturally understand the meaning of strictly acting in accordance with the law. That is, they follow Lin Feng's meaning. In this case, the prosecutor will naturally not refute the lawyer's request.
Immediately, the bill was passed.
Fainted! All the bosses fainted collectively. They are bankrupt, really bankrupt!
"Adjourn the court temporarily, wake them up! Then continue the court session!" the chief prosecutor said calmly.
Then, after an hour of adjournment, the bosses woke up and continued the court session. When the court session resumed, the bosses' eyes were dull, and they could no longer hear any sound. They only had one thought in their minds at this moment, they were bankrupt, we were bankrupt, really bankrupt.
At this time, Boss Zhao, who also appeared in the court and watched, was also sweating profusely. He only had one voice in his heart at this moment, thank goodness! Really thankful! Fortunately, he wisely chose to take out half of his property, otherwise he would be finished this time. Fortunately, fortunately, he was finally wise once. Of course, that time should also be his sudden burst of "bravery" that made Lin Feng appreciate him, otherwise he would also stand in this trial seat and face the crisis of bankruptcy.
Fortunately, he was still wise.
"Now let's continue with the sentencing." The Chief Prosecutor pronounced in a cold voice, "The 127 parties are found guilty of endangering public safety. In view of the seriousness of using waste oil, the punishment will be absolutely severe. The 127 criminals will be sentenced to five years in prison!"
What! 5 years! Many bosses came back to their senses and were in a trance. They almost wet their pants. Not only did they go bankrupt, but they were also sentenced to 5 years in prison. This is too exaggerated! Not only did they lose all their wealth, but they also had to go to jail! This is simply a shady deal!
Many bosses roared wildly.
"Silence!" The prosecutor knocked the gavel coldly, but at this moment these bosses couldn't calm down at all. How could they calm down at this time? They lost all their wealth and had to go to jail for five years. When they came out, what else could they do? Wouldn't their lives be ruined!
"Now we will conduct a trial for tax evasion!" The prosecutor continued to announce.
What! The charge of tax evasion? God, there is also a charge of tax evasion. How can people live like this? All the bosses roared again.
"Silence! Silence! Silence!" The prosecutor knocked the gavel desperately, but they couldn't calm down.
"Be honest!" At this time, the bailiffs behind these bosses took action. They hit each of these bosses, and they immediately quieted down. They were used to a life of luxury, how could they bear the methods of these bailiffs? They immediately hummed and quieted down, but their eyes were indescribably crazy. They refused to accept it, absolutely not! Why should they be fined so much money and go to jail!
In the trance of these bosses, the trial of their accusation of tax evasion also came to an end. Originally, there was no evidence. But Lin Feng found the evidence alive. It is not that there is no invoice and you cannot testify, but it is precisely because there is no invoice that you evaded taxes. And how to prove that these diners have eaten in this restaurant? How to prove it? It is impossible for the diners to say that I ate here, so let it count!
This naturally does not count. But don't forget that many restaurants host wedding banquets and wedding banquets, and among them, there will be videos to record this festive moment. There is evidence with videos. And these evidences are enough to prove that these bosses evaded taxes.
"This court is now trying 127 defendants. They are found guilty of tax evasion and each is sentenced to 7 years in prison. They will be punished together with the crime of endangering the public, a total of 12 years in prison!" the chief prosecutor said.
What! 12 years! We don't accept it! We absolutely don't accept it! Many bosses roared! How can they accept it? They absolutely don't accept it! This is going to kill them. Most of these bosses are over 40 years old. If they come out of prison after another 12 years, they will be over 50 years old. They will be buried soon. How can this be allowed! (To be continued)
