Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 466 The Purpose is to Make Money
"Oh? What's your idea? Tell me quickly." Allen was a little surprised. He never thought that Bo Wade could give him any financial advice, but seeing Bo Wade say so, he also wanted to listen.

After all, he still hasn't found a solution to the financial problem.

He was almost scratching his head over this matter.

"Sir, you see, I've gained a lot from this trip to Mumbai," said Bowede. "Those businessmen are getting rich..."

Bowede spoke of his plan with great excitement, but as Allen listened, his expression gradually turned sour.

Allen didn't expect that Bowede had this idea.

He wanted to take action against those businessmen.

According to Bowede, these businessmen are too rich and it is the fastest way to make money from them.

The fastest is the fastest, but the problem is that these rich people have connections, so which one is easy?

It's okay if it happens on one or two occasions, but if it happens on a large scale and the forces behind them unite, even he, the Minister of Finance, won't be able to handle it.

In Allen's opinion, Bowede just gave him a bad idea.

If this method was feasible, the Ministry of Finance would have taken action long ago. Why would they wait until now?
While speaking, Bowede had been observing the changes in Allen's expression. He noticed that Allen's expression was different and realized that there was something wrong with what he had said just now and he did not express it clearly.

So he immediately added: "Sir, I'm not saying to target the rich directly. We can target their industries, companies, etc."

"Is there any difference?" Allen asked.

Aren’t we making money from those guys?
Such a decision will undoubtedly be met with resistance.

There was no way those guys would just hand over the money.

"Of course, sir," Powede said with a smile, "this time we will do it in the name of the country."

"In the name of the country?" What Powede said piqued Allen's interest. It seemed that he had misunderstood Powede. It seemed that this guy really had some solution.

"Didn't the Prime Minister introduce a policy of unified taxation?" asked Powede.

"That's right. Although the policy has been introduced, it's difficult to implement it given the current situation," Allen sighed.

Previously, the old immortal wanted to unify the taxes of various states and bring these taxes under the federal central government.

In this way, the financial power of each state can be taken away.

Even if it is not possible to completely cut off the finances of the states, such tax integration can at least greatly reduce the fiscal revenue of the states.

Without money, the states will have to look to the federal central government for their decisions.

This is a means for Laoxian to strengthen the central power of the federation.

After all, the states now have too much autonomy, and the federal center has very limited control over the states.

The old immortal is ambitious and has a strong desire for control over power. He cannot bear to see those states retain such a large degree of autonomy.

It would be fine if those states were ruled by their BJP, but the problem is that many states are ruled by other opposition parties.

Those places are almost all rebels, opposing the federal central government in various ways.

The states basically ignore the various orders issued by the federal center, even if they are correct orders, and the federal center does not have much control over them.

It can be said that the states below basically act on their own, which makes the situation of the federal central government somewhat embarrassing.

"Leave it to the law enforcement bureau." Bowede said loudly.

Allen was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Bowede continued, "If anyone doesn't comply, the Enforcement Bureau will intervene, and we're not afraid of them not paying taxes. Sir, these businessmen's companies are now colluding with local governments in various ways, and they pay very little or no taxes. The federal government needs to impose unified taxation. Regardless of whether the states impose additional taxes, the taxes they pay to the federal government must not be reduced."

Allen was very moved by what Bowede said.

Since this policy involves all states in India, there is great resistance, and as the Finance Minister he often has to put the matter on hold.

Since the old immortal issued the policy, only a few states can collect taxes from the local area, and these states have relatively good relations with the federal central government.

Even so, the taxes paid are actually discounted.

The federal central government naturally cannot ask for more.

Compared with those states that resist paying taxes and are stingy, these states will be praised by the federal government if they pay even a symbolic few rupees, let alone some taxes.

For Arun, the finance minister, economic issues have always been a concern.

He was very tempted by Bowede's proposal.

He wondered how he had forgotten about the Enforcement Bureau?
Perhaps it was because the Enforcement Bureau had been engaged in a battle of wits and courage with the Central Bureau of Investigation, which made him somewhat forget that he could use the Enforcement Bureau in other places.

As for the issue of the states not cooperating with unified tax collection, we can ignore it for the time being.

Because he can directly send law enforcement officers to local companies and enterprises. Even if they have some local network protection, the policy of unified taxation is made by the federal central government and is legally endorsed.

So, even if things really get out of hand, he is not afraid.

The taxes that should be paid must still be paid.

If Allen can't handle a state, can't he handle these companies and enterprises?

"How confident are you?" Allen asked again, "I don't want to cause too much trouble."

"Don't worry, sir. The law enforcement bureau only needs to catch a few typical cases, and I believe those guys will know how powerful we are. Then you can come forward and give some preferential treatment in tax rates. I think this will most likely succeed." said Bo Wade.

Allen smiled.

Bowede is the bad guy, and I am the good guy.

Not bad, not bad. Bowede is reliable and considers his own interests.

If the Ministry of Finance really follows what Powede did, it should be able to receive a lot of taxes, which can solve its urgent needs.

If I can solve the country's financial problems, even if it is not solved completely, but just alleviated it a little, I believe I will be able to gain greater respect from the old immortal.

After all, it is impossible for me not to know how bad India’s financial situation is.

"Okay, let's do it this way. Don't rush into this matter. Pick a few people to try it out first and see how everyone reacts," said Allen.

He agreed with Bowede's plan.

Apart from this method, he couldn't think of a better way.

However, this approach should not be too radical, and we should take it one step at a time.

After all, Allen doesn't want to face too much opposition, which will not be good for him.

"Yes, sir, just wait for my good news." Bowede said with a smile.

He was able to think of these things, and it was his trip to Mumbai that gave him inspiration.

Those businessmen were so rich that they had a whole room full of cash, or a whole basement full of large-denomination cash piled up like that. Even he was shocked.

At least you should have your own share of this money.

As long as he had work to do, especially if he could target those businessmen, he would be able to reap more benefits from it.

This trip to Mumbai brought him great benefits, and he will never forget this feeling.

It felt like an addiction. So I came up with some advice for Allen this time.

This method can not only help the superiors solve the problem, but also benefit oneself. It is simply killing two birds with one stone. What could be better than this?

Bowede's work efficiency is still very high. After all, he is working for his boss and also for his own benefit, so he must be proactive in such matters.

Vides got the news very quickly. After all, he had sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the Law Enforcement Bureau.

"Tax inspection?" After listening to Vides' call, Rotten was stunned.

He didn't expect that Bowede would focus on the taxes of those corporate companies.

However, after listening to more of Vides' introduction, Rotun quickly reacted.

This is obviously due to the Ministry of Finance's reasons.

The power struggle between the federal center and the states has always existed. Lao Xian collected taxes from the federal center, which weakened the power of local states.

The implementation of this policy has not been very effective.

Taxes are basically still not collected.

It is certain that the Ministry of Finance is short of funds.

This time, Powell is obviously ready to help Allen resolve the financial crisis.

There is only one purpose, and that is to make money.

After thinking it through, Roton was no longer surprised that the Enforcement Bureau did such a thing.

You should know that the law enforcement agency later targeted Chinese investment companies, especially those mobile phone companies, and seized and froze various funds.

Of course, these actions are not purely for money, but also involve some political disputes between countries.

In short, these are all done by the law enforcement bureau.

Now, Bovede is only taking action against some domestic Indian companies, so there is nothing to be surprised about.

"This is how I see it. The Enforcement Bureau will definitely offend people, and the Central Bureau of Investigation should just wait and see what happens," said Roton.

"I have thought about just watching Bo Wade do whatever he wants. But I don't think they are that stupid. They will probably just choose some people to do it for the purpose of deterrence. In that case, too many people will be offended. Although Bo Wade arrested a lot of people during the last incident in Mumbai, he was able to get away with it. The higher-ups are still very satisfied with him. It's really outrageous." Vides said.

"It can't be compared to what happened in Mumbai," Rotten said. "Those wealthy people in Mumbai were in the wrong. They hired people to exchange money, so they were caught red-handed. Whatever Bovede does is right. But this time, he's targeting companies in various states, so it's different. Those companies have certainly paid taxes in name, but it's just that they handed it over to the state finance ministries. He'll have to deal with the governments of each state. Can the state finance ministries return the money they've taken? If it were a state governed by the BJP, it might be easier, but what if it's an opposition state? Do you think it'll be that easy?"

"Haha~~ That's true," Vides laughed. "I even have reason to suspect that the Enforcement Agency will use this opportunity to cause all kinds of trouble for the state government that opposes it."

"That's for sure. The current law enforcement agency listens to the People's Party." Roton said with a smile.

The Enforcement Directorate has now become a lackey of the BJP.

During the tax inspection process, conflicts with local governments of various states are inevitable.

It is impossible for the Enforcement Directorate to make a fuss in this regard, which would create opportunities for the BJP.

"So, once you get involved in this kind of political struggle, things are going to get serious. If the opposition parties start to stir up trouble, the Enforcement Bureau will probably have a headache too," said Roden. "Also, the tax investigation will definitely take up a lot of the Enforcement Bureau's attention. I think the CBI can seize the initiative in other areas."

"That's right," Vides sighed. "Those bastards at the Enforcement Bureau are truly despicable these days. They've got their eyes on the Central Bureau of Investigation. Whenever we go out to investigate a case, the Enforcement Bureau will definitely try to get involved. If they run out of options, they'll find a similar case and make it even bigger, involving more people, just to try to suppress our Central Bureau of Investigation. It's despicable."

After hearing what Vides said, Rotten could only shake his head secretly in his heart.

This kind of thing is unavoidable. The Enforcement Department is now in a fight with the Central Bureau of Investigation. They have to follow whatever the Central Bureau of Investigation wants to do and investigate.

Even without the conditions, he still finds ways to keep up. It has to be said that Bo Wade is still very motivated.

This puts a lot of pressure on Vides.

"You can only do your best." said Rotten.

Although the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate are engaged in various battles, it has to be said that the case handling efficiency of these two departments is far superior to before.

The Central Bureau of Investigation, in particular, has become much more diligent.

It was not just Vids who felt the crisis, but the entire CBI, from top to bottom, felt the tremendous pressure from the Enforcement Bureau.

Now when you go out, you will find that those guys in the Law Enforcement Bureau are all arrogant and don’t take the people from the China Tobacco Investigation Bureau seriously at all.

This was too much for the old man from the Central Bureau of Investigation.

You know, the Enforcement Bureau was nothing in the past. It could only assist the Central Bureau of Investigation. How could they have any say?

Such a big change happened suddenly, and many people still find it difficult to adapt.

Vides went to Rotun just to complain, and he found someone to talk to about his troubles, so that he could feel better.

Some things can't be said to just anyone.

It is precisely because of this that Vides regards Rotun as a true friend.

Although there is a big age gap between the two, Rotun has great potential after all, and Vides really wants to establish this kind of close relationship with Rotun.

That morning, Rawdon sat in the director's office as usual, reading the newspaper and drinking tea.

Wait a minute, take a look at the reports submitted below. This day has passed quickly.

During his time in Mumbai, Rawdon lived a very fulfilling and leisurely life.

Since he became the Commissioner of Mumbai Police, he has definitely become the top figure in Mumbai.

With the addition of Fia's Mishra family, Rodon's relationship with the wealthy and powerful people in Mumbai became closer, and he got to know more people.

Ding-ling-ling, the landline phone rang.

Luoton picked up the phone. This should be a call from the leader above.

In Luoton's mind, it should be the director's office calling from the General Administration.

After all, in Mabang, no one except the director of the General Administration, not even the nominal second-in-command Moss Pendaka, would do this.

Generally, they would call their office director as a courtesy.

Of course, if Moss really wanted to put on airs and show off his leadership, it wouldn't be impossible for him to just call me and give me some orders.

But this would definitely make Rotun uncomfortable.

Moreover, Roton may not necessarily carry out these orders.

Rotun is now the powerful director and the chief of the Mumbai Police Department. Unless you are crazy, no one wants to offend Rotun.

The phone was picked up and a familiar voice came from the other end.

Of course, this familiar voice did not come from the office of the Director General of the Maharashtra Department, but from the office of the Union Home Minister.

The content of the call was very simple, asking Rodon to go to New Delhi immediately as Home Minister Rajnath wanted to meet him.

The other party didn't say much, just said that Rajnath had something important to discuss with him, and he would only know what it was after he went there.
