Chapter 65 Voyage Test
The changes in people's livelihood brought about by the opening of the private economy are obvious, and as more people participate in the construction of the private economy, more and more goods will be sold in the Chang'an base. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
With the increasing number of commodities and the formation of an internal market, the government can rely on collecting a certain percentage of commercial taxes to invest in capital construction.
The collection of commercial tax is an inevitable process, the government needs to invest a lot of money in the development and construction, after the reform of the Australian government will lose a large part of the revenue, but the expenditure will not be reduced accordingly, on the contrary, it is possible because with the development of economic construction, the investment is increasing.
If the government, which is already underfunded, has to invest a lot of money in construction, you can imagine what the final result will be, and there is no choice but to go bankrupt.
In order to avoid this situation, the committee members also after careful consideration, firmly controlled some enterprises that are currently more profitable in the hands of the government, and at the same time did not open up the right to operate.
Profits are finite, and this is bound to happen if the number of immigrants grows more than the trend of profit growth.
Taxation, taxation, this is an important decision, Australia has limited arable land, and at the same time the development of agriculture is not large, it is impossible to levy agricultural taxes, and history has proved that the small amount of agricultural tax is nothing compared to commercial taxes.
Australia is not heavy agriculture and suppresses business, and business should be encouraged and supported, only the development of business can drive the development of various systems, such as the government can invest in new scientific research when it has money, and at the same time can develop new towns.
Of course, in the early stage, the tax burden levied by the government will not be too high, and it is inevitable that some small enterprises must be supported in order to support business development.
Looking at the tax plan that followed the reform experiment, Qi Yu smiled a little bitterly, he now has a feeling that the praying mantis is behind the yellow bird, he just thought of asking the government to pass the private economic system, but he didn't think that the corresponding tax policy would come out.
In addition to the corresponding tax policy, with the increase of personal income, personal income tax is also a large expense, totaling two years of working for nothing, except for buying a good name, in fact, I didn't get anything.
The money is borrowed from the bank, although the interest rate is low, but you have to pay it back, so you have to say that the first two years have been a little dry taste, this is not good, you can't lose money, the most basic thing to do business is to buy and sell at a loss, if you lose money, what to do business.
Since the auction a day ago, after he auctioned off the right to operate the grocery store, he began to apply for various property rights and business certificates, and finally had time to think about the future development path of the grocery store, but a tax notice quickly made him fall into the seed of thinking.
Although the tax rate introduced by the government is somewhat low, for a company like him that relies on loans to build, as long as it can save money for expenses other than excess costs, it will save money, and it will try its best to save if it can't.
It's right to save money, but you also have to be able to open source, the price of grocery stores is relatively high, and the main group of consumers is still dominated by the crossing, so it can't go on, its sales object is facing the entire Chang'an base, if there are only hundreds of people who pass through the crowd to consume, his store is bigger and stronger at all.
Although Qi Yu has never done business, he and several shareholders understand a truth, that is, it is very important to attract more customers with good quality and low price.
In order to achieve high quality and low price, it is necessary to control the source of purchase channels, start from the source, reduce the price of imported goods, only when the price of imported goods is low, can we reduce the sales price.
But now it is still a little difficult to do this, at present, Chang'an mainly opened a route to Daming Macau, which is a regular regulation, but relatively close Southeast Asia has not entered the regular route, which is a constraint on business development.
As for the opening of Batavia and other routes to Manila, it is not that the commissioners do not want to, but that Australia has limited ships, and considering the safety of the Chang'an base, they are not in a hurry to disclose the routes to Westerners in these places.
Of course, the Western colonists in these places are also relatively very curious, where Australia is located, but they don't know the route map, there is no specific goal in the vast sea can only be blind, the sea in this period is much more dangerous than in later generations, not everyone has the courage to drift on the sea for a few months.
"Stabilize prices, reduce living standards, and make life better for the Australian people." It's just a few days before the protest that Qi Yu came to the executive committee for the first time, and this time he didn't bring a report, but directly met with several committee members and said his suggestions.
He said his thoughts, to say that his ideas seem to be beneficial to most people, in fact, there are still selfishness, he took over the grocery store, and the import of grocery stores is completely handled by the trade team, and they are changing the goods, which increases the cost, and if this cost is removed, then the price of goods will also be relatively reduced.
It is said that businessmen are shrewd, this Qi Yu has never done business before, and it is quite fast to enter the role, it seems that the saying that the environment changes people is right.
To open a new route, there must first be a ship to Batavia and Manila, and now the ship remaining in the mainland is the Yangtze River No. 1, or an experimental steam sailing ship, whether it can sail to Batavia is still a question.
However, Qi Yu was obviously prepared, before this he had persuaded Lin Wendong to conduct a voyage experiment on the sixty-horsepower steam sailing ship he designed, if it succeeded, it could be mass-produced and built, which was a good thing for the development of Australia.
Lin Wendong, who was convinced, listened, yes, after testing in the offshore sea for so long, it is time to conduct a long-distance navigation test, even if the ship's steam engine is broken, it will be fine, isn't there still sails and oars, and it can also sail to the shore.
So the two of them went to the executive committee and put forward this proposal together with the committee members.
After repeatedly confirming that a broken steam engine would not cause the ship's own safety problems, the committee members finally agreed to Lin Wendong's request, and also agreed to let Qi Yu go to Batavia with the ship for testing this time.
