613 Privatization of mines
The high-sounding claim that the privatization of small and medium-sized mines is to increase the fiscal revenue of the coalition government has a certain temptation, making the bill easy to pass, but also difficult to secure.
The power of the Heaven and Earth Mixed Yuan Sect and Gao Si Academy is still quite huge, and Wu Fan can't shake this at present.
The privatization of small and medium-sized Lingjing mines, in fact, this is the most important proposal for Wu Fan, because through the purchase and sale of the Burning Sun Sword, he has accumulated a huge fortune, and the future financial resources are also rolling in, enough to buy many small and medium-sized mines.
Buy a mine and you can make a huge profit. After a mine is discovered, a spiritual crystal deposit will be estimated according to the grade, and then a 20% discount will be given to private investment to buy, and at least 20% of the profit is guaranteed here.
And Wu Fan can also find out the missing mineral deposits through the Fengyue Treasure Book, and the additional profits obtained by this part can be large or small. It is also possible that the additional discovered spiritual crystal deposits are a large amount, and the so-called small and medium-sized mines are actually large mines, which are developed.
According to the number of parliamentarians in the two camps, Wu Fan made a prediction that in addition to the two votes of the president and vice president of the Resolution Yuan, there are a total of 151 votes, and as long as 76 votes are obtained, it can be passed.
However, judging from the debate in the morning, 73 votes can be assured, and there is still a gap of three votes.
Once the 76 votes are reached, if Li Yuzhen, the president and vice president of the Resolution Yuan, and Tony exercise a veto power, Wu Fan will not hesitate to turn against them.
saved their lives, if they all dared to do this, they would be too faceless, and Wu Fan would not give them face.
As for how to deal with it, we will talk about it then, but now it is to pull three more votes first, and there are enough votes to pass on the bright side, so that they have nothing to say.
At the debate, Lei Zhengqing, the patriarch of the ghost clan in Haoqi Town, clearly raised his objections, believing that the privatization of the mine would lead to a widening gap between the rich and the poor, which would be detrimental to people's livelihood.
The objection of Xu Yuansong, the dean of Lingyue College, is that the Lingjing mine has been public property since ancient times, and once the door to privatization is opened, the mountains, forests, rivers, and oceans will be privatized in the future.
Jiang Luo, the dean of Xuanzhen Academy, objected to the fear that the inaccurate estimation of mineral reserves and the greed for ink would cause the loss of public property.
The reasons they stated are very reasonable, but because small and medium-sized mines are public utilities, the management is chaotic and inefficient, and sometimes the amount of spirit crystals collected is not enough to pay for various costs such as labor salaries, so privatization is actually a good way out.
Moreover, because of the war, the coalition government is financially stretched and cannot make ends meet, so privatization can have an immediate effect, increase fiscal revenue, and solve the urgent need.
The reality is that the combined armies of the five major regions are in arrears with a large amount of military salaries, and the combined forces of the Southern Regions have sprung up and are growing stronger, but it is not the governor's palace that has allocated funds to grow.
It is not easy to persuade the heads of these three second-rate sects to vote in favor of this bill of the Mineral Committee.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. This is Wu Fan's character, the character of not admitting defeat.
During the lunch break, Wu Fan met with Sect Leader Huang and Sect Leader Bi, and talked about the idea that the privatization bill for small and medium-sized mines must be passed, and instructed them to convey this trend, and make sure that all parliamentarians from the same camp voted in favor.
Huang Bi's two sect leaders promised to do it well, and Wu Fan also said that he was going to lobby the three second-rate sect leaders.
"Dean Wu, it's not me who strikes you, Lei Zhengqing and Jiang Luo are both upright people, two old stubborn, it's too difficult to move them. And Xu Yuansong, a person, has always seen the wind and steered, and he will vote for whatever votes the members of the Heaven and Earth Mixed Yuan Gate, and Dean Wu can't influence him. Huang Sect Master said.
"Sect Leader Huang is right, the old man still advises Dean Wu, don't work in vain, the privatization of small and medium-sized mines, don't even think about it. However, we will still follow Dean Wu's instructions and vote in favor together. "Bi Jiao said.
"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. We tried, it didn't matter if we succeeded or failed. Wu Fan said.
With Lao Zheng and others, Wu Fan stood in the square, thinking about which head to find first to lobby, but saw a figure rushing over.
"Senior brother, senior brother!" the visitor called.
"Jiang Feifei, is that you? I said that there was going to be a meeting in the morning, so you came here to find me?" Wu Fan was also a little excited when he saw Jiang Feifei, a classmate at Lingxiao Academy.
Wu Fan became the master brother of Lingxiao Academy last year, and the original master brother Yu Tingsong has graduated, but at this time when the world is in turmoil, it is not interesting to say this.
Jiang Feifei has always been rude and willful, but she likes to pester Wu Fan, and after Wu Fan had a past with her in the Northwest Jedi, she found that she was not bad in nature.
"I haven't seen you for so long, you've become a big man, aha!" As soon as Jiang Feifei came over, she hugged Wu Fan's arm and shook it.
"This is Lao Zheng, this is the king of Huzhou, and this is Wei Tao......" Wu Fan introduced one by one.
Jiang Feifei looks much more mature than before, maybe the war can change a person, she politely greeted Lao Zheng and the others.
"Let's go, take your friends, and go with me to see my daddy. Jiang Feifei said eagerly.
If you want to sleep, someone will send a pillow, Wu Fan Zheng didn't know which one to lobby first, Jiang Feifei came to find it, and said that she was going to see her father, Jiang Luo, the dean of Xuanzhen Academy.
"Okay, it's okay to go see your father, but I don't know what to bring. Wu Fan pretended to be hesitant and said.
"Go to see my father, what kind of gift do you want, that time in Lingxiao Academy, after my father met you, he kept saying that you are a talent. Jiang Feifei saw Wu Fan agree, and said with great joy in her heart.
Jiang Luo entertained Wu Fan and his party to drink tea in the luxurious room where he stayed, which was the second time he saw Wu Fan.
"Wu Fan, last time I said goodbye, I didn't expect to see you later, pretending to be Pang Hai's identity, after you disclosed your true identity, I always wanted to talk to you. Jiang Luo said politely.
When they met at Lingxiao Academy, their daughter Jiang Feifei clamored for her father, and used the power in her hands to propose marriage to Wu Fan.
"Dean Jiang is polite, the juniors should come to visit. Wu Fan said.
"Come, drink tea and drink tea, this is the pre-rain tea I collected from the Eastern Regions, and the annual output is quite small. Jiang Luo said.
The two kept talking polite words, and neither seemed to have found a breakthrough.
Jiang Feifei sat on the side, glancing at his father from time to time, all of this fell in Wu Fan's eyes, so he was not in a hurry to explain his intentions.
"I heard Fei Fei say, the last time she was in the Northwest Jedi with you, she was attacked by the Snow Hu Chicken of the third-order brute beast and almost died, it was you who saved her, I have to officially express my gratitude to you. Jiang Luo said.
"It's easy to help out in the same boat. Wu Fan said.
"As for my little girl, she is used to being free and casual, but she is better than having a smart brain, and she has read a lot of books, so she can be said to know how to read and etiquette. Dean Wu is young and promising, and he is single, if he can recognize me as his father-in-law, it is the right person, no matter how good it is, I don't know what Dean Wu thinks?" Jiang Luo finally said his thoughts.
"Dad, how can the princess sell melons and boast about herself, how can her daughter be so good!" Jiang Feifei's face turned red, and she ran to the terrace at the back door of the living room.
"Fei Fei's family has a long history and extensive knowledge, this is nothing to say, the last time she dug up an ancient Sun Sword under the ice, she told the origin at first sight, which is impressive. Wu Fan talked about him left and right, and did not immediately accept the call.
I heard that her cousin A Xue also has a marriage contract with Dean Wu, the two of them have grown up together since childhood, if they can be with Dean Wu, it will be the icing on the cake. Jiang Luo continued to speak bitterly.
"Hey, what I have a headache now is not the marriage event, but the people of the world. Now the barbarian beasts are rioting in various places, the people are hanging upside down, the combined army is not in place, and the combat effectiveness is limited, so they are afraid that the war will be pacified, it will be protracted, and the lives will be ruined, and the people of the world will be desperate. Wu Fan pretended to have a compassionate look and sighed.
"In this regard, we need to unite the government, open up sources and reduce expenditure, open up financial channels, and rectify and innovate. Jiang Luo said.
"So, it's not that Wu has any selfish intentions. Wu proposed the privatization of small and medium-sized mines in order to solve the problem of financial difficulties. Wu Fan took the opportunity to shift the topic to the purpose of his trip.
"Dean Wu is still young and dedicated to saving the world, but he doesn't know the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. The privatization of the Lingjing mine, in which there are a lot of cats, once implemented, the loss of public property, it is shocking. Jiang Luo still insisted on his opinion.
"Oh, what does Dean Jiang mean, those people who are in dire straits, can just ignore it?" Wu Fan questioned.
"I didn't say it didn't matter, Dean Wu, you misunderstood. Jiang Luo said solemnly.
Lao Zheng, Huzhou, Wang and the others all laughed secretly in their hearts when they heard Wu Fan controlling the rhythm of the conversation, Shen Tianbao was ignorant and ran out to play with Jiang Feifei on the terrace.
"I admit that the privatization of small and medium-sized mines may indeed cause the loss of public property, but this is only possible, as long as the supervision is in place, it can still be avoided, and at the same time improve efficiency and save the people of the world, why not. Wu Fan said eloquently.
"You young people really think differently from our older generation, perhaps, I'm really old. ”
Jiang Luo said, took a cup of tea, and groaned.
"What does Dean Wu mean is that you want me to vote in favor?" After a while, Jiang Luo seemed to have made up his mind and asked.
"Dean Jiang, as the overseer of the Southern Regions, my salary has not been paid for a long time, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, I hope you can be considerate of us soldiers who are fighting on the front line. Really, we definitely don't mean to force Dean Jiang to vote in favor. Wu Fan saw that what he said was in place, and he was happy in his heart, but he said quietly.
"Dean Wu, rest assured, my vote has now decided to vote in favor. Dean Jiang finally made a quick decision.
"Okay, then thank you Dean Jiang for your strong support and not disturb your rest. Wu Fan stood up and said goodbye.
"Tianbao, let's go. Wei Tao shouted.
When Shen Tianbao heard this, he hurriedly ran in from the outside terrace and left with Wu Fan and the others.
Jiang Luo sent Wu Fan and his party to the door of the room, he pulled the sleeve of Wu Fan's robe, and asked in a low voice, "What does Dean Wu mean to the little girl?"
"Dean Jiang, I took a look at the old yellow calendar, today is an auspicious day of the zodiac, tonight you bring your relatives and friends to Sanqing Academy, we will set up a banquet to marry, and then choose a day to get married, what do you think?" Wu Fan leaned into Jiang Luo's ear and said in a low voice.
"Great, great, we'll be there. Jiang Luo immediately smiled like a flower, and said with joy.
Wu Fan didn't hate Jiang Feifei, and after saving Jiang Feifei in the Northwest Jedi, when he dragged Jiang Feifei in high fever with a wooden box all the way, he also saw her through many times.
"Hey, Dean Jiang's jade pendant?" Wu Fan saw a jade pendant on Jiang Luo's chest, which was quite peculiar, only half of it, and asked suspiciously.
Hearing Wu Fan's puzzled tone, Jiang Luo stopped and took down the jade pendant, which was originally rectangular, but now it is half a piece, and the word "Lin" is carved on it.
Wu Fan immediately took out a jade pendant from the space ring, which was also half a piece, and the hollow carving was a "Qi" character.
Jiang Luo's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly took half of the jade pendant from Wu Fan's hand, and when they were put together, they were seamless.
"Dean Wu, how did you get this half of the jade pendant?" Jiang Luo asked eagerly.
