"What about tax reductions? But whoever is willing to give you the initiative to give you benefits for free must have something to ask for you. In the matter of the Earth Trading Company and the trade routes, they gave us tax cuts, in addition to the need for us to come and set the trade point in their territory, it is also possible that they think that we are a good pig, and it is best to fatten and slaughter us. Xie Shangjun's expression sneered, "The state tax can indeed be reduced or reduced through negotiation, but the premise is that there is a need for negotiation." When countries along the route predict that the benefits will be greater at the cost of tax reductions, then it is indeed possible that a negotiated reduction will be reached. However, this kind of reduction and exemption depends entirely on the political game behind it, how strong the specific reduction and exemption can be, and how long the agreement on reduction and exemption can be maintained, in fact, it is difficult to say, the so-called time changes, the changes in the political game are very large, and the tax policy will also change frequently, and there is no credibility at all. In comparison, it is not as cute as the tax that is normally levied with a clear price. “

"When the benefits are big enough, of course, you can pay less or not pay. But if the interests are not big enough, it is possible to increase and exploit the fat pig of your earth trader. Of course, they begged us before the trade route was established, but after the trade line was established, the relationship between the traders of the earth and the state power along the route was delicate. It is not entirely impossible for the initiative to be reversed, to be maliciously taxed, or even to trade lines to change hands, and to be squeezed out of the market by competitors and these cosmic snakes. So we usually don't really expect much relief or anything, as long as we don't extort too much—"

Speaking of this, Xie Shangjun paused, but looked at Gu Hanhan with hope: "But since you can coordinate a whole new trade route, it must be not a problem to mobilize political resources to reduce taxes and fees along the way——"

The widow of the Acropolis, who was still too expensive just now, quickly shook her head after hearing the words of the second generation of black-hearted capitalist medicine-

Just kidding, the entire area through which the trade line passes is poor, and the fence star field at the end is still the forward base for attacking Pegasus. Mr. Garr doesn't know how much effort he has took, how much coercion and inducement he has used, how many banners he has pulled, and how many tiger skins he has pulled out to squeeze out the quota, and he still wants to pay taxes after taking it for nothing? Besides, don't we still want to help Patriarch Stan dominate the rivers and lakes and dominate the star field? If you drag your feet so much, you know how you can die and ask for money? Isn't that just a killing of chickens and eggs! How will this sister mix up in the Acropolis in the future? What kind of bad image does it have in the eyes of the people of the universe?

Because she made a special statement: "I don't dare to say anything about tax reductions and exemptions, I think we still have to pay the taxes that should be paid, and it is not a long-term business to always think about taking advantage of something, but the trade route is in our hands for a day, and the countries and planets along the way will not be heavily taxed, which can be guaranteed." “

"That's not bad—"

Xie Shangjun's stated goal was achieved, and he didn't care about Gu Hanhan's answer, just "oh", and nodded: "Then this 100 million can't be saved." ”

"Preparation for the construction of the merchant fleet, subspace tolls, jump point rentals, and national taxes and fees along the way......" Xie Shangjun lowered his head again, swiped the tip of his pen, and counted the calculated items one by one, and then said: "Now it's the turn of the cost of the construction of the trade point." “

"If the Earth headquarters of the trading company is face and deterrence, then the trade point directly established on the alien territory planet in the hinterland of the universe is even more a direct manifestation of strength and force, and it is the first line of the game with the aliens. Under this guiding ideology, even if the construction of the headquarters can be perfunctory, the construction of the trade point must be perfect, majestic, and must become a strong fortress that can be attacked and defended, both an advance base and a rear base, and has both combat and aesthetic functions. The base trade building must be built magnificently, decorated with resplendent gold and beauty. Military camps must be built to be impregnable, with powerful weapons and strong protection. At present, the specific number of trade points on the trade line should not be calculated and laid out, so according to the calculation of 100, each trade point is budgeted with 1 million reserve coupons for the capital construction fee, then it is another 100 million reserve coupons. ”

"Once you have a Trade Point, it's your turn to pay the wages of the employees who work at the Trade Point, which is another big buck. The universe regards the earth traders as the main wrongs, the wages are high, the treatment is good, and they always hope that we can settle everything with the earth reserve coupons. Of course, we can't let the people of the universe down, we just want to hire the best employees and give the best treatment, not to mention everything, at least we have to pay the reserve vouchers for the salaries of the trade representative's advisers, escorts and senior employees, otherwise we are still some earth traders, why do the countries in the universe still treat us as dishes. Each trade point is calculated according to 100 consultants, an average monthly salary of 2,000 reserve coupons, 5,000 escort personnel, an average monthly salary of 500 reserve coupons, 20,000 employees, and an average monthly salary of 100 reserve coupons, and the number of trade points is still calculated according to 100, so the amount of money we spend on salary payment alone is close to 500 million reserve coupons per month. ”

"500 million reserve coupons!" Rao is Gu Hanhan has been numb by Xie Dashao's 100 million, 100 million and 100 million algorithms, and the extra 500 million reserve coupons given at once are enough to scare her awake.

"Why are these salaries more than the merchant fleet's waterway passage infrastructure fees?" she exclaimed, "Xie Shao, aren't you fooling me!"

Xie Shangjun looked at Gu Hanhan with the eyes of a veteran looking at a rookie: "Don't you understand? The biggest cost of operation has never been raw materials, nor infrastructure and equipment, and the part that occupies the largest cost is always labor." Please don't look at the problem of enterprise employment from the perspective of a slave owner, and don't limit your thinking to the cheap employment of a slave for 10 yuan. You have to understand that in our trade, average pay is always a pseudo-concept, and in order to retain a useful high-level person, the company may need to pay more than all the cheap labor combined. For example, if the senior manager of the trade point does not pay him as much as the janitor of the Earth headquarters, then he will obviously not be loyal to us, and if the special and indispensable professionals such as the main combat ability and excellent commander in the escort team do not have a salary of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of reserve coupons, I think they would rather smuggle or simply become pirates. And then there's the political advisers to the United Nations and the countries, most of them are here to make money, okay? If we don't give it, then why do they come?"

Gu Hanhan understood with annoyance, this kind of "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and the route freezes bones" is simple and straightforward, not to mention that she is also a person who has seen the world in the Acropolis, so she can't say anything that can refute Xie Dashao.

"Understood," she said, "the 500 million yuan is indispensable—there are other projects that are not, can we add them up?"

Xie Shangjun patted his head and said: "I almost forgot, there is also the public relations fee for the operation of the trade route, to put it bluntly, it is bribery, and the big and small snakes of various countries and gangs along the trade route, we have to leave some benefits for them." ”

"Bribe?!" Gu Hanhan's eyes were about to pop out, and he thought: "It's not okay to pay all the taxes and fees, I still have to bribe! Even I'm a widow to bribe, Nima, this is when my lover, boyfriend, and dead ex-husband are all tablets?!!

Xie Shangjun looked at Gu Hanhan's expression, and he could guess what she was thinking just by guessing, so he interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

"I know you have a lot of political clout over the upper echelons of these countries, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to take quotas from them, and you wouldn't have been able to draw trade lines like that. But you'll have to listen to me about it. He smiled and said, "Hades is good at seeing that little ghosts are difficult to entangle, which is a common problem in all human societies, not that it can't be entangled, but it doesn't count when entangled, and there is no need to entangle." There is no need to slaughter chickens, and political influence should not be wasted on these inconsequential imps, it is nothing more than a matter that can be solved with a little bribe, why not spend a little money and raise a few silverfish in order to achieve greater efficiency? The earth's trade routes have been filled with blood-sucking grasshoppers since the first day they were established, and they have been like this in the past, they are now, and there is no need to change in the future. We earthlings did not come to the universe to oppress anyone or save any country, we just wanted to fulfill our moral responsibility to mankind and make money. ”

"It's not much, it's really not much money this time," Xie Shangjun patted Gu Hanhan's shoulder with the hand holding the energy pen, trying to comfort her in a tone, "Actually, there is no money at all, it's just some goods that are not within the quota, how much can it be worth if you feed a dog on the earth?" ”

"Not much?" Gu Hanhan was aggrieved for a long time, and it all exploded at once, "300 million, 100 million, 100 million, and 500 million, plus the 100 million you have to spend on the earth, you have 2 billion - a full 2 billion! 2 billion is not much money! Xie Dashao, you are very rich, and you only took 100 million yuan from your own pocket if you have money!"

Xie Dashao has been a second-generation medicine bully since he was a child, and he has never talked about cooperation with a poor man like Gu Hanhan who has no money and can't be offended, and suddenly ran into a widow who was fried, and he was really a little stumbling, and he didn't know what to do.

"Hey, hey, Hanhan, calm down, don't worry," he tried hard to convince her, "This is not a reckoning, of course this is the settling, but in fact, many of our bills can also be paid with cosmic coins." After rolling over the exchange rate, a lot of money will be saved, and the actual capital may not really need such reserve bills. ”

As soon as Gu Hanhan heard that the bill could be reduced, he temporarily closed his voice and asked, "How much can I save?" How many reserve coupons are actually needed. ”

"Uh-that's going to have to be done to know ......"

"Then you should do the math!"

Xie Dashao was forcibly stuffed with a pen in his hand by Gu Hanhan, and he almost didn't shed tears - why am I counting? I can't do such a complicated arithmetic problem!
