Chapter 177: The Great World Rivalry (II)

In times of peace, no matter how powerful the Dark Association is, it is impossible to solve the Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association by force, after all, these two associations have an extremely high reputation among the people, and anyone who wants to move these two associations must first consider whether they will be drowned by the saliva of the people, and sometimes public opinion is also a very terrible weapon.

Naturally, the Dark Society will not be so stupid, they are using a soft knife, and they are now pushing for federal legislation to include the Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association into the profiteering industry, and the windfall tax will be levied on these two industries. Of course, legislation is not so fast, and it is impossible to complete it without a period of time, but it will be established before the war.

If the legislation succeeds, it will be a big blow to the development of the two associations. Perhaps, for senior feng shui masters and feng shui masters, the impact is not obvious, but for intermediate feng shui masters, especially junior feng shui masters, the impact is very obvious.

Taking a junior feng shui master as an example, usually showing people that the income of feng shui is a few hundred yuan, and sometimes it can be thousands, but not every day can receive orders, under normal circumstances, the income of a junior feng shui master is equivalent to the white-collar class with a higher income, which can support a family, but it will not be rich.

If a windfall profit tax is levied on junior feng shui masters and 40% of the profits are taken, it will inevitably lead to the income of junior feng shui masters being much worse than before, or even lower than that of ordinary white-collar workers. A junior feng shui master is the cornerstone of the feng shui industry, and if no one wants to become a junior feng shui master, the industry is bound to languish.

Or, after the windfall tax is levied, the price is raised and the people who consume it bear the windfall tax. But that's not the way to do it either. Looking at feng shui, it is not cheap in the first place, and if the price is raised, the people will definitely complain, and they will not think that it is the fault of the federation. Rather, they think that Feng Shui masters are greedy like vampires. In the long run, the influence of the Feng Shui Association will inevitably decline.

Legislation is not feasible!

But it is also impossible to oppose legislation. War is about to break out, and the Dark Society is pulling the banner of war, constantly conveying the voice in the media: war requires a lot of money. The Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association are violent professions, but they do not take social responsibility, and they should be taxed heavily and supported the war.

The Dark Society began to discredit the Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association, and such reports appeared on television, the Internet, newspapers, and magazines. Wang Daozong sighed and said, "The current situation is very unfavorable to us, and we must hold a meeting as soon as possible and come up with the charter." ”

Qin Xueli thought for a while and said, "Actually, these are all trivial matters at present. Our Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association have always had a high reputation, and it is not a few smear words that can work. In my opinion, the biggest crisis at the moment is the next big change! ”

Qin Xueli is talking about great changes, not war!

The great change is coming, human beings have suffered heavy casualties, what have the Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association done? Feng Shui is not just to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but when the great change came, the two associations did not play any role in the people. If the Dark Society takes advantage of this and attacks. After the big change, who will still believe these two associations? Feng Shui calculations will inevitably fall to the bottom again.

The Dark Society must have figured it out.

For Feng Shui associations and physiognomy associations. Although the Dark Society is not the same as the Heavenly Machine Association, as long as there is an opportunity, they will not miss it. As for what the reason is, including Qin Xueli, many people don't know, just guess. It is highly likely that the Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association will find out the secrets of the Heavenly Machine Association, or simply become the next Heavenly Machine Association.

Yao Wentai sighed: "The big change is really not easy to deal with!" ”

Great change is the trend of the times, and non-human beings can stop it, whether it is the Feng Shui Association. is still the Association of Physiognomy Teachers, and any obstacle to the general trend will be ruthlessly crushed.

Perhaps, the foreseeable future can be announced. But the future is changing, and when you know what is going to happen in the future, you will definitely make changes, triggering a butterfly effect that will lead the future to unforeseen paths. Quite possibly a worse future.

In this way, Qin Xueli did these things in vain.

One person counts the short, and the three counts the long, they no longer discussed, and immediately decided to hold a general meeting and invite all the masters of the Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association. Of course, this requires Song Guizhen and Xue Hongyi, two old-timers, to take the lead, in terms of prestige, these two are much higher than Yao Wentai and Wang Daozong, especially the Xiangshi Association.

Thirty-three masters of the Feng Shui Association, twenty-five masters of the Physiognomy Association, plus Song Guizhen and Xue Hongyi, there were sixty masters to participate in this conference. At present, all the registered masters have arrived, and of course, there must be many reclusive masters who are unwilling to go out of the mountain.

"The next step must be a war of public opinion, don't worry about its practicality, use public opinion as a weapon, who have our two associations been afraid of?" It was proposed.

Whether it is a feng shui master or a master of arithmetic, there are not a bunch of powerful and wealthy businessmen standing behind them, and they also have an excellent relationship with the media, as long as they are willing to join forces, they can immediately set off a storm of public opinion, and the momentum can even overshadow the dark association.

The Dark Association is very powerful, but its strength is reflected in the hard power, it has a very strong force in the military, politics and business, and also controls the terrifying intelligence organization and killer organization, so it can call the wind and rain, and almost anything.

The Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association are different, and their strength is reflected in soft power. They do not join the army, nor do they participate in politics, and they hardly do business, but they have a high reputation among the people, have a large number of friends in the military, government, and business circles, and have a good relationship with the media.

It can be said that this is a hard collision between hard power and soft power!

"It's useless to win the war of public opinion, we have already lost this conflict!"

The battle of public opinion is a debate between the Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association, which can be compared to a real war. In this war, the Feng Shui Association and the Xiangshi Association fought locally, and even if they defeated the invaders, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Moreover, the ultimate goal of this contest is whether to impose a windfall profit tax!

In this regard, the Dark Association has taken advantage of it, they have a great say in politics, as long as they win over a group of allies, even if they do not have the upper hand in public opinion, they can still pass legislation to implicate the Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association in the road of decay.

The impact of the 40-point windfall profit tax on the industry can be imagined.

It's okay to sell luxury goods, it doesn't matter how high the tax is, just raise the price, anyway, consumers are rich people, and the more expensive they are. These people may be happier. But what about civilian goods? If a heavy tax of 40 points is added to the livelihood industry, the entire industry will collapse.

Feng Shui arithmetic is a people's livelihood industry, and almost all people believe in it!

For nearly 10,000 years, both associations have been committed to promoting the development of Feng Shui arithmetic, with a strict model from production to sales. It can make consumers with different incomes afford to hire different levels of feng shui physiognoists, and can make different levels of feng shui physiognographers have corresponding income.

The sudden and heavy tax will surely destroy this model.

"Seniors, the boy also said a few words. If a windfall tax is imposed, will it have any impact on all of us here? Master Tang Mingao asked.

"Of course, there is an impact, we used to pay about ten points in taxes, and suddenly the heavy tax was raised to forty points, and the income was reduced by thirty points all of a sudden. Earn 100 million. There are only 60 million in hand. Of these 60 million, we have to take out a part of it to do good deeds, and the most fearful thing about doing our business is cause and effect, who doesn't want to plant good causes and get good results. ”

"No one is too much money. But then again, the impact is not very big, are any of you here short of money? Which is not a wealthy person, money for us. A lot of times it's just a useless set of numbers. Earn a little more, earn a little less. In fact, the impact is not big. Anyway, there are a lot of us who should have. ”

"In that case, why don't we agree to pay a heavy tax?" Tang Mingao continued to ask.

Everyone looked at each other and agreed to pay heavy taxes?

It's true that everyone here has a lot of money, but no one thinks it's too much, right?

As a result, many people stood up to condemn Tang Mingao, why did he agree to pay taxes?

Oh, yes. Who wants to let it out if they are caught in their hands?

Earn 100 million, you can get 90 million, who wants to throw out 30 million? It has been taxed like this for 10,000 years, so why change now?

"Ladies and gentlemen. Be quiet, listen to me, listen to my analysis. We are now faced with a situation in which it is almost impossible to succeed if we want to oppose legislation. But if you don't oppose the legislation, the windfall tax will have a serious impact on junior physiognomy and junior feng shui masters. Primary is the cornerstone of our two associations, and if it is brought down, our two associations will inevitably be greatly damaged, and I am afraid that they will not be able to recover for a long time. ”

"The reason why I propose to agree to the windfall tax is because of the premise. We can propose a tiered windfall tax, which also exists in other industries. For example, we can propose 10 points of windfall tax for beginners, 20 points for intermediate, 30 points for advanced, and 40 points for masters. In this way, although all of us here have suffered some losses, the junior physiognomy master and junior feng shui master will not be affected. As long as the cornerstone remains, our two associations will stand. ”

"One more thing, can you invite a master, or a high-level, which one is short of money? What is the difference between asking a master to tell fortunes and look at feng shui and buying luxury goods? Our consumers are rich people and don't care too much about the price, so we can raise the price and let consumers bear part of the windfall tax. ”

What Tang Mingao proposed is indeed a good way.

According to the current tax rate, almost every level of feng shui master has to pay ten points of income tax. If you follow this method, the income of the junior feng shui master will not be affected, and the intermediate feng shui master will have a little impact, but it is not obvious. Moreover, the income of an intermediate feng shui master is already very high, even if he pays an extra ten points in tax, he can accept it.

As for the advanced and master level, the fees are already extremely high, and if they are a little higher, which wealthy consumers can also afford it, so the impact will not be too big. The most important thing is to ensure that junior feng shui masters and junior physiognomy masters are not affected and do not cause turmoil in the entire industry.

But even so, there are still a lot of people who oppose it!

The Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association have existed for nearly 10,000 years, managing the operation of the two industries, never letting outsiders interfere, and all the rules are customized by themselves. Now that someone wants to use a knife against the two associations, why should everyone agree?

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of face!

Face is sometimes very important. If you agree to pay the windfall tax, then the Dark Society will find other reasons to meddle in the two associations, so this matter cannot be refunded. If you take a step back, you will take another step back, and when it becomes a habit to take a step back, the voice of the two associations will be sidelined. Those who don't know will think it's in the hands of the Federation, and those who know will think it's in the hands of the Dark Society.

But in this way, everyone will be in trouble, and if they don't agree, they can't agree, and they can't agree!

"Ladies and gentlemen, can you listen to what the kid has to say? In the current situation, whether we agree or disagree with the legislation, we are very passive, but it is not without a way out. In my opinion, what we have to do is actually quite simple. Drag, drag until the start of the war! Qin Xueli stood up and bowed in all directions, on this occasion, he was a junior.

War means change!

No one knows what will happen after the war begins, and if there is a big change, who will care about legislation?

Moreover, when the war starts, everything in the Federation will revolve around the war, and the eyes of the people will be on the war, and legislation will be left behind. When the time comes, it is possible for the Feng Shui master and the arithmetic master to unite and embarrass the Federation.

"Haha...... Qin Boy is right. When the war starts, when the eyes of the people are fixed on the war, it will not be so easy for the Federation to discredit us, when will anyone care whether to legislate or not? Song Guizhen laughed, but he knew that there would be great changes at the beginning of the war, and when the time came, everyone would only care about one problem, save their lives!

"I agree!" Xue Hongyi said.

"I agree!" Wang Daozong said.

"I agree!" Yao Wentai said

……

Someone took the lead, and a large group of people agreed, and then Wang Daozong stood up and said: "Since everyone agrees, let's come up with a charter." The Federation is in a hurry to legislate, how can we delay it until the war begins? Judging from the current situation of preparing for war, the war will start in February next year, and we will drag on for more than three months. ”

More than three months, in fact, is very short!

As for legislation, it usually takes a long time to prepare, and it is repeatedly discussed by the Federal Parliament, and it is necessary to find a pilot to hold it, and it is impossible to complete it in a short time. If you go through the normal process, you don't even have to delay, and it will not be possible to complete the legislation in more than three months.

But the situation is different now, war is coming, everything has to revolve around war and serve war. In this special time, there will be special things to do, and it is not uncommon for things that would have taken three years to complete in three months. Throughout history, there have been too many such things in wars.

The current situation is obvious, and the Federation, or the Dark Society, is looking at this special period and preparing special measures to finalize the legislation. It is not so simple for the Feng Shui Association and the Physiognomy Association to unearth the conspiracy of the Dark Society. (To be continued......)
