Next chapter

After the garage sale, Wang Bo had to get ready for something, that is, he had to thank the people who had helped him before.

When he went home before, when he clashed with Stunned Si, he got the help of many people to deal with the trouble of Stunned Four without bloodshed.

The two who contributed the most were the domineering president and Leonard, the general manager of the Bull Club, needless to say, they ate and lived together, and their relationship was already extraordinary.

Leonard has an annual meeting of the Bull Club at the end of March, so he just has to go over and thank you then.

First and foremost, he would like to thank two of his fellow mayors, Shining Hero and Camila Kraken.

He brought a lot of cigarettes and alcohol gifts from China, and after the weekend of the garage sale, he brought Eva and gifts to the door on Monday to thank you.

After the conflict with the stunned four, Wang Bo understood another truth, that is, in life, the more friends the better. He was too closed in Sunset last year and was busy with politics, and this year he decided to go out.

Driving Martin's classic car, the two went to Wanderer Town first, and he didn't say it in advance, and went straight to the small government of Wanderer Town.

New Zealand's post-disaster reconstruction efforts have not been as effective and fast as China's, and now the rubbish from the earthquake has been removed, but many buildings have not yet been built.

Fortunately, the Maori people were used to living in tents, and the town of Wanderers was full of large tents, and Wang Bo drove through them, thinking that he had gone to a refugee camp.

When he got out of the car with the strong man, he was immediately welcomed, and several Maori who saw him around him walked up to him, high-fived and hugged him, and some people wanted to touch his nose with him.

A woman opened her arms to the strong man, the dog face of the strong man called a life without love, Wang Bo glared at it, it had to compromise: Okay, okay, hug it, hug it, ouch, you still want to kiss Lao Tzu? No way!

Eva smiled as she watched as a man and a dog were surrounded in the middle, and she waited quietly to be happy for them, because she knew that the duo had given so much for the land during the earthquake.

Wang Bo saw that more people were going to come around, so he hurriedly took the strong man and carried cigarettes and alcohol into the government building.

The Radiant Hero was waiting for him with a cigarette in his mouth, and after the two met, he laughed and said, "Wang, you are so popular now, I'm really worried about when you will come to our election, if you run, the mayor will definitely belong to you." ”

Wang Bo hugged him warmly, took the initiative to bump his nose, and then said: "For God's sake, my brother, you can't lie, when did the Maori decide the mayor by election?" ”

The Glorious Hero grinned, he lit Wang Bo with a cigarette, and said, "You are a smart man, man, you should be in the political circle." ”

Wang Bo also nodded at him and said, "You are a bold person, man, dare to smoke here, I think I chose the right gift." ”

The New Zealand government has been working hard to get New Zealand to join the SFC alliance by 2025, which translates into Chinese as the Smoke-Free Country Alliance.

In recent years, the New Zealand government has forced some smokers to quit smoking, or at least reduce their cigarette consumption, through the guò market.

According to the New Zealand government's regulations, smoking is prohibited in all indoor places except at home; Smoking is prohibited on all means of transportation, except for private cars.

In addition, if New Zealand's outdoor places are labeled with NOS touching king, smoking is also prohibited, and many outdoor occasions in this country have such labels, such as the lakeside beach developed by Wang Bogang, which has such a label.

The blatant smoking of a Shining Hero in the office would have been unthinkable in the city, but the Maori would have some privileges, especially since the town of Wanderers was still full of Maori, and the New Zealand government could hardly control it.

Wang Bo opened the box and took out ten cigarettes: Zhonghua, Yellow Crane Tower, Furong King, etc., all of which were high-grade cigarettes, which he bought and brought to the castle with a sand table, if he had to pass through customs, then these cigarettes would not pass at all, and he would be imprisoned.

The Glorious Hero was greatly surprised when he saw it, he took the cigarettes in a daze, and then asked, "Man, are you not doing smuggling as the mayor now?" ”

Wang Bo couldn't help laughing and said, "This is a little gift I brought to you from my hometown to thank you for your help to me last month, this gift is not a tribute......

Hearing his words, the Glorious Hero hurriedly took the cigarettes and said, "No, no, no, this is very respectful, to be honest, I knew that you could bring such a gift, I should have mobilized the power of the Maori to speak for you." ”

New Zealand's cigarettes are very expensive, and the government uses taxes to control the price of cigarettes, according to statistics, the country consumes more than 1 billion New Zealand dollars of tobacco products a year, of which more than 70% is taxes, including tobacco taxes and GST.

Therefore, New Zealand is destined to have no good cigarettes, and whether they are good cigarettes or not, they are ridiculously expensive.

Wang Bo went home to buy cigarettes the year before last, and the cheapest filter cigarettes in New Zealand cost about 20 New Zealand dollars a pack of 20 cigarettes. In fact, the cost may only be a few new dollars, all of which are taxes.

Like some of the more powerful smokers, if you have a pack of cigarettes a day, then the "cigarette money" alone will cost about 7,500 New Zealand dollars for a year of living in New Zealand!

The Maori are old smokers, and the people of this country have been growing tobacco since they moved to New Zealand, and now they like to have two sticks before and after meals.

After taking out these cigarettes, Wang Bo then began to take the wine, Wuliangye, the blue of the sea and the blue of dreams, of course, not to mention the national liquor Moutai, in addition, Wang Bo also prepared a small box of two-pot heads.

By analogy with the control of cigarettes, it is the control of alcohol in New Zealand.

New Zealand has a long history of alcoholism, and the local aborigines believe that in addition to bringing relaxation and happiness to people, alcohol also poses a big problem for the safety and health of the society.

The New Zealand government has been very aggressive in changing the law to address the problems of drunkenness and alcoholism in New Zealand society, and in 2013 they launched a new legal plan for alcohol control, some of which are very strong:

For example, if someone is drunk in a New Zealand bar, the bar owner will be fined NZ$5,000.

For example, if the business premises reach three warnings within three years, the liquor license and the license of the person in charge will be suspended for five years.

As another example, if a guest is intoxicated on the premises, the bar manager must be held accountable and can be fined up to NZ$4,000 and the staff on duty can face a fine of up to NZ$2,000...... (To be continued.) )
