Chapter 739

According to insider sources, Ghosn was accused of earning 88 million US Dollars during his eight years at Nissan, but only reported half of the income, which is equivalent to evading half the taxes.Furthermore, Ghosn was accused of using Nissan's overseas residences without paying rent, privately using the company's airplanes, and so forth.

These accusations sound a bit absurd to anyone.

An old foreign man comes to your country and helps you save a company valued at seven or eight billion US Dollars.

And he only received 80 million US Dollars as compensation, then used some benefits that the company should reasonably offer him for free.

And then just gets arrested?

Oh, and the reason for his arrest wasn't because he received 80 million US Dollars as compensation, but because he underreported 40 million US Dollars in taxes.

Even if he really underreported, it's not a reason to arrest someone.

After being removed from his position as Nissan CEO and being detained for over a hundred days, Ghosn paid 8.9 million US Dollars in bail, only then temporarily gaining his freedom.

Ghosn paid 8.9 million US Dollars in bail, only then temporarily gaining his freedom.

Just over twenty days after being released, Ghosn was arrested again, the reason still being underreported income.

Afterward, Ghosn managed to pay a few million in bail to get himself out, only to be arrested a third time.

This time, the accusation was violating trust by transferring personal investment losses to Nissan.

Perhaps the Japanese also felt that arresting someone just for underpaying taxes was unreasonable.

So, Ghosn was detained by Japan for over four hundred days, going back and forth like this.

This elderly man in his sixties couldn't take it anymore.

Thus, the former top company's president had to find two Americans carrying a cello case to reach his strictly monitored private residence in Japan.

Subsequently, Ghosn crawled into the cello case, which was carried by the two Americans onto a private jet, flew directly to Istanbul, Turkey, then transferred to his homeland Lebanon, where he announced he had left Japan.

And so, the shocking-to-the-world Nissan president cello escape event became known to everyone.

And it was only the year 2019.

In the sixth year after Ghosn's escape, which is this year, Nissan is preparing to sell its headquarters building.

So when Toyota Osamu says Nissan deserves it, he really wasn't wrong.

If Ghosn hadn't run away back then, Nissan should have been eliminating its old supply chains six years ago.

It's unimaginable that by now, Nissan hasn't even managed to produce a hybrid car.

One could only say, the path is chosen by oneself.

"I'll invite people from Nissan to come over for a gathering in a few days," Toyota Osamu told Chen Yiyang, "I hope you can come too."

"No problem." Chen Yiyang nodded.

He and Toyota Osamu are akin to the guarantors for this business deal.

The real estate company under a North American private equity fund guards against public opinion risks, while he and Toyota Osamu guarantee for their respective countries' companies.

If something goes wrong in Japan, they will find Toyota Osamu, if it goes wrong domestically, they will find him.

After leaving Toyota Osamu's house, Chen Yiyang originally planned to travel with Moy Hua to some remote but naturally scenic small towns in Japan.

However, Moy Hua rejected Chen Yiyang's proposal.

"Recently, Japan's remote areas are experiencing a bear disaster, nine people have died since the beginning of the year, we better not go there."

"Bear disaster?!" Chen Yiyang was bewildered upon hearing this term.

With technological progress, human destruction of the surrounding environment has actually been effectively controlled.

For example domestically, many places in Jinling City have experienced wild boar population outbreaks.

But it's not a big deal, just issue some certificates to hunters, allowing them to hunt.

There are plenty of wealthy and idle people longing for this opportunity, and this form of entertainment, common in ancient times, is hard for modern people to experience unless they go abroad.

"It's not like that in Japan."

Moy Hua said helplessly, "In Japan, every industry has an association. Naturally, hunters have a Hunter Association as well.

However, in Japan, hunters' pay has always been very low. The Hunter Association only provides a subsidy of 32 US Dollars to hunters annually."

"No, no, no, it's not about the money," Chen Yiyang said, "Hunting with modern rifles shouldn't be a difficult task. Many people don't have this opportunity, but if it were domestically, even without subsidies, as long as hunting licenses are issued, many people would still hunt at their own expense."

"It used to be like this, although the Hunter Association's subsidy was low, hunters were allowed to use hunting rifles. Hence, bear disasters were well controlled in the past.

But in recent years, officials have been revoking hunters' gun permits and employing entrapment law enforcement techniques.

This results in many hunters no longer able to use hunting rifles, only able to hunt bears with traps or sticks and other tools.

But doing so is too dangerous, and a little carelessness can result in personal injury.

Therefore, those wealthy hunters are unwilling to continue hunting bears. And those who aren't wealthy, because the association officials aren't willing to pay, are also unwilling to risk their lives to hunt bears."

After listening to Moy Hua's explanation, Chen Yiyang was a bit shocked, but he looked up relevant domestic regulations.

He found that domestically, hunters who hunt wild boars are rewarded with three thousand RMB per boar, equivalent to sixty thousand yen.

While Japan's Hunter Association, aside from offering more than thirty US Dollars a year in subsidies, is only willing to pay a one thousand five hundred yen hourly wage.

This hourly wage is calculated at the official supervisional rate, measuring legitimate bear driving and hunting.

"If they're truly strapped for cash, why not allow hunters to process and sell the bears they kill? The bear carcasses should be quite valuable."

"That won't work either," Moy Hua said, "for each bear hunted, the Hunter Association will only pay hunters a reward of dozens of US Dollars.

Moreover, the bear carcasses are collected by the association and sold to various institutions according to regulations. But the money from selling bears isn't given to hunters."

Impressive.

Now Chen Yiyang instantly understood the animation he watched called Goblin Slayer before.

In the animation, goblins constantly harass and harm villages and towns under the human empire, yet the entire human empire remains indifferent.

At the time, he didn't understand.

Now it makes sense.

Bears correspond to goblins; the councils unwilling to pay correspond to the Adventurer's Guild not giving goblin bounty; the inactive military equals the kingdom's army; the few working hunters being swindled equal few adventurers unsupported and failing in hunting.

In Japan, such a story really fits well.

"Let me take you to a private art exhibition." Moy Hua quickly found a place to visit and invited Chen Yiyang to go together.

On the way, Chen Yiyang casually looked up related news again.

The village most severely affected by the bear disaster, prior to 2018, because bears frequently appeared, hunters' subsidies were also slightly higher.

But after the bear disaster almost disappeared, the local village council deemed such compensation unreasonable.
