Chapter 679: Encountering Difficulties

It has been proven that in a relaxed environment, people's mood can be very relaxed.

After two days of crazy play with the children in the streets and alleys of Rongcheng, on Monday, Mr. Xiao Shen started his busy work again in high spirits.

It is only two weeks before the scheduled opening time of January 1, 2007, and there is still a long way to go if Bird.com wants to become a hit.

The first batch of DreamPad has already been sent to 15 countries, and the rest of the countries have successfully arrived at the directly operated stores, except at the port of Bilbao in Spain, which was harassed by the entry quarantine department.

For the country of Spain, Xiao Qi has no good impression at all, and the most difficult thing for Europe to China is Germany, yes, but Germany rarely uses despicable means under normal circumstances, and usually starts directly.

But Spain is different, and often secretly makes it bad.

For example, the famous shoe-burning incident was to incite the masses to vent their dissatisfaction with Huaguo, and then all the police disappeared, and only after the shoe burning was completed did they pretend to arrest a few people.

It is said that Europeans are lazy and extremely inefficient, but there are still three, six, nine and so on.

In Europe, the laziest and most fond of soft rice are undoubtedly four countries: Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy.

These national welfare is very good, if you don't work, you can live on government benefits, and you can support your family, so how do you say they have the enthusiasm to work?

Wake up at 9 a.m., go to work after breakfast at 10 a.m., eat lunch at 2 a.m., take a lunch break until 4 a.m., and eat dinner from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m...... Basically, after Xiao Qi heard about such a thing, he linked them with the descendants of Marshal Tianpeng.

If such a country does not break out in a financial crisis. That can only be said that God has no eyes.

Spain's tax rate is very high, the VAT other than food is 18%, this is still an indirect tax, the direct tax is higher, and the variety is more varied.

Shaw has registered a local company in Spain as a "Spanish Fairy Trading Company", but the high tax rate still makes the DreamPad generally sell for 5% more than in the United States.

But Spain is not doing it. How can you pass on all the taxes to us Spaniards?

Moreover, Xiao Qi's strict identity verification system makes it impossible for Spaniards to buy in European countries with lower tax rates, so the Spanish government is angry and is ready to use stuck means to force the fairy company to pay punitive special income tax, on the grounds that DreamPad is suspected of profiteering sales.

All right.

It seems that there are a lot of strange taxes abroad, and even a company's profits have to be managed.

I can't sue you for dumping at low prices, but I can sue you for profiteering sales. This shameless realm is really impressive.

Xiao Qi knew that this was just an excuse, they were just red-eyed.

But the teenager didn't want to bow his head to the Spanish tax department, because if he gave in, the United States, Britain, France, Germany and other countries behind him would not be vegetarians, and all kinds of strange punitive taxes would be included. It will definitely make the fairy company want to cry without tears.

So, at the first moment of receiving the news. Xiao Qi posted the news on DreamPad's official website.

"Due to the unreasonable difficulties of the Spanish government, the DreamPad is stranded in the port of Bilbao, and the fairy company regrets to announce that the DreamPad will not be able to be sold in Spain, and the ship will be diverted after three days, and this batch of supplies will be added to the British and French fans. Please pay for the Spanish fans who have already paid for the reservation. You can request a full refund with your user ID. Fairy Company would like to express our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused. ”

As soon as this front-page news came out, the whole shijie was in an uproar.

Avid fans in Spain, in particular, saw that the American, Japanese, and Korean DreamPad had long been stacked in warehouses. Those of them who are a little farther away are waiting for the news of DreamPad's arrival every day.

I didn't expect things to arrive now, but they were blocked at the port and couldn't get in, because of the state's unreasonable difficulties!?

Let's go and find out, and immediately a well-informed Spanish fan broke the news, this is the Spanish government watching the fairy company make money, and it is unhappy, and wants to get some more benefits from it, so there is a strange punitive tax of "suspected profiteering sales", the amount is as high as 5 million euros!

You're crazy about money, aren't you?

This is the first reaction of fans around the world when they see this news revealed.

But there are also happy people, such as England and France.

English gentlemen and French gentlemen praised the brains of the Spanish government. The cruelty is too internationalist, too many!

Although Spain has only allocated 100,000 DreamPad units due to its sparse population, no matter how few mosquitoes there are, it is still meat, and it can satisfy the wishes of 100,000 fans in the United Kingdom and France!

As a result, fans from both countries poured in, asking Fairy to open the booking platform to their two countries again as soon as possible, and British fans and French fans promised that they would never let a DreamPad fail!

For their schadenfreude and robbery, the Spanish fans, who were already depressed and irritable, suddenly became angry, you guys, do you still have humanity? We already have enough of them, and now we don't have one, and the pit dad isn't so pitiful, right?

However, France and England are not to blame for this, but to blame the idiotic and greedy Spanish government.

The DreamPad that has been in hand and will be in hand is gone, and it will be ridiculed by all Shijie's DreamPad fans, and the Spaniards, who have always been good at demonstrations and scolding the government, suddenly broke out.

Government building, port area, Madrid Street...... Hundreds of thousands of DreamPad fans gathered at the first time and staged a large-scale protest.

Especially in the port of Bilbao, where the DreamPad was seized, thousands of fanatical fans armed with wooden sticks and Molotov cocktails stormed the lines of the military and police, and the number of them was growing, so that the port urgently called the garrison to help.

The media of Shijie reported this kind of chaotic scene for the first time, especially the footage of fanatical fans shouting "I want DreamPad" attacking the defense line, which has become a scene that every TV station and newspaper must show.

The riots came so quickly and violently that the Spanish government was stunned as if it had been beaten with a stick! (To be continued......)
