I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?
Chapter 625 ATO&FWC
"Oh, it's my first time coming to your house. This...this..." In Balwyn Villa, Zhao Lingshan was shocked by the scene in front of her as soon as she stepped into the room. Not only her, but the other women were also stunned.
The whole living room was in a mess, with empty fast food boxes scattered all over the table, a few pairs of smelly socks on the sofa, and the coffee table full of empty wine bottles and unfinished peanuts.
"Are you kidding me? These two guys can't even clean the house when we're not home." Jin Nana put her hands on her hips angrily.
"Your house is such a mess, tut tut tut." Zhao Lingshan shook her head.
"Dongdong and Xiaoming, these two lazy guys..." Chen Xi felt helpless. It was not just them, many international students were like this.
Especially among the Four Heavenly Kings of Huanglu, except Luo Yiming who loves to clean up and cook, the other three people's study abroad life is dirty and messy.
According to them, they were so used to being taken care of by nannies in China that they were too lazy to do anything.
"Are you kidding me? If we had come back a month later, they would probably have been buried in the garbage dump." Saori pinched her nose and picked up an empty pizza box on the table with two fingers.
"This is just the beginning. You have never seen Wang Qiansui's car. I remember when I was in high school, I rode in his car. There was a sock in the back seat that was so hard that it stood up. It must have been a long time since it was washed..." Chen Xi began to recall things from his school days.
Li Yuqing was not very clean when she was in high school, and her home was a mess, which was even complained about by several girls.
"Oh, this family really can't get by without a woman!" Jin Nana sighed while holding the broom.
"Ha, let me tell you, Chen Xi is back tonight, and we are going to have a barbecue dinner."
"Why a barbecue dinner? I want to eat hot pot."
"Then let's have a barbecue and hot pot dinner!"
Just then, the voices of Dongdong and Xiaoming were heard outside the door.
"How did you two spend all this time? I'm curious." As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Jin Nana holding a broom with a unfriendly look on her face.
"Uh..." Dongdong and Xiaoming looked around and lowered their heads in shame.
When Chen Xi was around, they would organize a general cleaning. But now that he's gone, the two of them are definitely too lazy to do anything.
"How is the company during this period?" Chen Xi asked.
"It's okay. By the way, Gouzi opened a billiard room and we have all been there to play recently. You don't know, there are a lot of nice cars in the parking lot at the door, all of which belong to international students. It makes me want to change my car." Dongdong put down the plastic bag and gestured with his hands.
"What car do you want to buy? As long as it can be driven, it's fine. I have so many cars in my car dealership, you can pick whatever you want."
"Okay! I've been waiting for you to say this."
Dongdong rubbed his hands excitedly.
"What is Matthew doing recently? It's vacation now, so he should be able to take a break." Chen Xi suddenly remembered the man who had shouted himself hoarse while giving lectures.
"He seems to be very busy recently. He teaches company bosses during the day and often gets together with a group of international students at night, saying that he teaches them business classes." Xiao Ming said while picking up the garbage.
"Business class? What is that?" Chen Xi didn't remember Matthew having done this in his previous life.
"Nowadays, international students envy those around them who don't rely on their parents and make money independently. Some of them don't even study anymore, and their minds are full of thoughts about making a fortune. Isn't it... Matthew is a celebrity in Mo Village, a diaosi counterattack type, so naturally there are many people who want to learn from him." Xiao Ming shook his head. He felt that students should still focus on studying. Parents spend so much money to send their children abroad, not for them to make money.
But young people definitely want to make some achievements to show their parents. As the number of overseas students who buy things for others grows, and they all make some money, many students start asking their families for money, thinking that Australia is a place where they can make money, and they can definitely make a name for themselves with their own vision.
"Doing business is not that simple. It would be great if you don't lose all your money." Chen Xi snorted disdainfully.
Even though he has been in Australia for such a long time, he has seen very few cases of international students successfully making a lot of money. The main reason is that they are lazy and have a playful attitude, working for three days and drying the net for two days. Some of them have not even been to a company many times.
However, there are still many people who earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Australian dollars.
"I think so. I asked some international students what kind of business they wanted to start, and they all thought of doing purchasing on behalf of others, opening a KTV, selling used cars, or opening an Internet cafe. Anyway, they saw other people's businesses making money, and they thought they could make money just by imitating them and opening a store in a different location!"
"Hahaha, if there are more people, the competition will be more intense. How can we make any money?" Chen Xi laughed after hearing this.
"In fact, they have never thought about these businesses, and they can't do them at all. I looked at the people who opened shops in Australia, and they were all over 30 years old. I have never seen a few international students opening shops. They don't even know how to go through the procedures. It's completely wishful thinking. Think about it, the students of Didi University have only been in Australia for more than a year, and they are thinking about opening shops and doing business. They have no idea about the market conditions here." Xiao Ming thinks these people are big fools.
"Hehe, I think their family won't give money at all." Chen Xi touched his chin.
Thinking back to his previous life, he asked Chen Yifeng for money to do business, but no matter how profitable the business was, he was rejected.
In your parents' eyes, you are always just a young boy, and giving you money is a complete waste of money.
"Then what can they learn when they gather together to listen to Matthew's lecture? Matthew is not a fool, how could he think that this group of people can do something?" Chen Xi asked curiously again.
"I don't know about that. I didn't attend his class. I just heard Matthew talk about this when I was having dinner with him."
"This silly boy, how can he do any business? Just don't get cheated..." Chen Xi muttered to himself after hearing this.
"Which room should I sleep in tonight?" At this time, Zhao Lingshan came down from upstairs.
"Why is she here?" Seeing a beautiful woman in the house, Dongdong and Xiaoming looked at Chen Xi.
"Um... school hasn't started yet, so she'll come and stay for a few days. You just sleep... sleep... let me make arrangements for you." Chen Xi suddenly remembered Jin Nana, so he made arrangements in a flash.
Now that Zhao Lingshan is here, if she sees Jin Nana sleeping in the same bed with her, she will definitely make a big fuss.
“By the way, the ATO came to check the accounts these days.” Xiao Ming said suddenly while cleaning with his head down.
ATO, the full name of which is Australian Taxation Office, is the Australian Federal Taxation Bureau, the tax department responsible for company audits.
There are many subordinate departments or branches, and there is one next to the Doncaster apartment where Chen Xi and his family used to live.
The audit work of the Australian Federal Taxation Bureau is usually completed by multiple departments in collaboration, including auditing, inspection, tax consulting and other links.
Speaking of the ATO, it's really awesome. Australia did something recently that people who have just gone there may not be aware of.
All foreign bank accounts will be monitored to prevent people from working there with student visas and secretly sending money back to their home countries, and some are just to prevent you from cheating.
In the end, if you go to a casino to play, as long as you exchange chips to a certain amount, the casino will ask you to provide a tax number. If you don't provide it, you will be blacklisted by the casino. This is the result of the ATO's pressure on casinos, which makes the owners of major casinos miserable. If they don't allow customers to play, how can they operate? But that's another story.
"Oh, we operate in accordance with the law and never evade taxes. Don't worry." Chen Xi waved his hand.
"Yes, they didn't find any problems. The large amounts of cash and gold were all disposed of. Those people thought it was strange. They thought we had received some rumors in advance. They said that they could find some problems with other Chinese restaurants, but our accounts were so good. I think he had some hidden meaning. Why didn't he trust us so much?"
"It's all because Shi Tao's aunt is reliable." Chen Xi smiled.
Aunt Shi Tao's accounting firm has been dealing with the tax department for so many years, so they naturally know how to deal with any problems that may arise.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. After the ATO finished its investigation, the FWC people came again." Xiao Ming continued.
FWC stands for Fair Work Commission, which is responsible for setting and supervising the minimum wage standard to ensure that all workers in Australia receive fair wages. In addition, it is also responsible for handling various disputes related to employment relationships, including wages, working hours, working environment and other issues.
According to the Industrial Relations Act, when setting the minimum wage standard, the Fair Pay Commission will consider how to increase the likelihood of unemployed people being hired, ensure the ability of low-wage people to continue to be employed, and the competitiveness of vulnerable workers in the labor market.
Such agencies generally do not launch investigations unless someone reports it.
But in Australia, non-hourly workers and non-illegal workers are paid by bank transfer. The boss is not stupid, and normal people will not make such low-level mistakes that are recorded.
If a violation is committed, the workers will take the evidence to the court to sue the company. So this agency usually deals with unions and protesters who strike for wage increases.
"What the hell? Why would such a department come to investigate us? Do they think we pay too little? Will the Australian government take the initiative to manage the wages of foreigners?" Chen Xi had hardly heard of such outrageous news. He thought Xiao Ming was mistaken.
"Yeah, they questioned all our employees underground. Fortunately, I usually treat them well, hehe." Xiao Ming puffed out his chest proudly, trying to prove that he was not a black-hearted boss.
"I feel like something is wrong." Chen Xi lit a cigarette and started thinking.
"I asked, and other Chinese companies were also investigated," Dongdong added.
"Really? Is someone above us trying to mess with us? Didn't they introduce a policy last time to restrict Asians from getting loans to buy houses?" Chen Xi's brows relaxed.
"Who knows? But it's not mentioned in the news. If they want to get you, they will find a reason to investigate. With so many Chinese companies and restaurants here, there will definitely be a few unlucky ones who will be fined. It's impossible for everyone to do business so honestly. Some people want to save money and don't even try to avoid taxes reasonably..." Dongdong sighed.
What he said is true. You are not of the same skin color. Discrimination has existed since ancient times. People don’t care whether you have broken the law or not. They will investigate first.
If there is a problem, it will definitely be published in the newspaper. When local residents see this kind of news, they will naturally applaud, because the Asian working style seriously threatens their ability to make money. Now that they have a reason, they will definitely not be stingy with the F words.
"Just check it, there's nothing wrong with us anyway." Xiao Ming said with an indifferent attitude.
"That's not the case. Every time they come to inspect, it takes a long time and employees have to be called in for a talk. Isn't this definitely a waste of our money?" Dongdong was very dissatisfied with this so-called inspection.
Last time, because of the inspection, he delayed all the customers' orders.
"Well, it would be fine if other people were also checked. I'm just afraid that someone is deliberately messing with us." Chen Xi said worriedly.
"I think you're overthinking it. Who's messing with us? Are they the foreigners?"
Xiao Ming asked a question, but Chen Xi didn't answer because he didn't know either.
Legendary Billiard Hall.
"Ha, Brother Gou, after listening to you talk about so many ways to make money, we brothers have really benefited a lot!"
"That's right. We came to Tuao late. I didn't expect that Brother Gou had done so many businesses before. If you asked me to do the moving business, I really couldn't bring myself to do it. It turns out that those who can make money are the best."
In the office, Huangmao and Baimao looked at the dog with admiration.
"It's not that easy to make money. It requires opportunity and help from noble people. Of course, the most important thing is that you have rice in your hands." Gou Zi Yangyang said proudly.
"That's right. Brother Gou is our benefactor. To be able to open a billiard hall here, there must be someone behind him. We are all foreigners and have never dealt with those local gangs. They won't give in to us just because we are so powerful at home. It's difficult..." The yellow-haired man sighed.
"We pay the money, and you use your connections, and then hire some international students to run the KTV. What do you think of this idea?" Baimao took the opportunity to bring up the business they wanted to do.
To be honest, Gouzi was still very tempted by this business, but he was a cunning man. There had always been a shabby KTV near Boxhill. Why didn't Uncle Lei, who was so rich and powerful, choose to open a new one? The reason was intriguing and beyond his imagination.
Moreover, Uncle Lei's relationship was solved by Chen Xi asking Sun Chengcai. If I rashly agree to the requests of the people in front of me, and then the KTV cannot be opened, wouldn't it be a loss of face?
"This is a complicated issue. You have just arrived in Australia, so you cannot bring your domestic system here. The number of restaurants and companies in each region is regulated. If you increase the number rashly, it will definitely cause competition.
The Chinese here are not short of money, but if you choose to destroy their jobs, it will definitely cause trouble. "Gouzi thought about it and explained to them.
"What Dog said makes sense, but what other good business can we do?"
"Yes, take us with you to get rich."
Several international students looked pleading again.
"Let me think about this." Gouzi leaned on the sofa and thought.
Chen Xi is going back to China after graduation. What should I do after he leaves?
How about cultivating more talented people?
Xiao Ming and Dong Dong don't seem to be very smart, and they never have any new ideas in doing business. Ouyang Ming has many ideas, but he always fails and he is lazy.
Chen Xu... always likes to follow the trend...
Matthew is also a master of theory...
It seems that Sun Cheng and San Gou will also return to China after graduation.
Ergou is such a dull guy. He just listens to whatever you say but can't give any advice at all.
Thomas is still very good, but it's a pity that Chen Xi doesn't let me contact him...
Gouzi was very confused at this time, but the rich second-generations in front of him with colorful hair didn't seem to be very smart. (End of this chapter)
