Chapter 782: Unity
You're scaring my wife!", Jackson put his arms around his wife's shoulders and looked at Durin sitting at the edge of the table, his eyes were a little fierce, no one wanted to be rudely disturbed during such a time, and this was still his home.
Hearing this, Durin glanced at Jackson's wife, and also saw that the hand held tightly by Jackson was trembling slightly, Durin owed, "I'm very sorry ma'am, I didn't show up here in a very unfriendly way, I apologize for my behavior!", he smiled at Jackson's wife, "This is just a very ordinary meeting, and Mr. Jackson and I will not have any contradictions and conflicts because of this." By the way, can you add an extra pair of cutlery for me?"
Jackson was amazed that Doolin had actually apologized for his wife, and he recognized the bastard as soon as Dührin sat down. It's not a strange thing to know Durin, it's strange to not recognize Durin, this guy often appears in the newspapers, young, rich, and of high status, which makes it impossible for those who saw him and knew him not to remember him. But he apologized, which was not the same as the rumored arrogance of Doolin, who was said to be a very rough guy and never apologized in the dictionary.
I don't know where a rumor spreads, it is said that once Durin was held to the head with a gun, he not only did not flinch but also let the man shoot, the result is not necessary to continue, Durin can appear alive in front of people is enough to explain everything.
Jackson patted the back of his wife's hand and said to her gently, "Add some cutlery for Mr. Doolin, it looks like we'll have to keep him here for dinner." ”
Jackson, who came to his senses, quickly calmed down, he didn't believe that someone like Doolin would run into his house and do anything to him, let alone hurt him, because Doolin was not that stupid. The reason why he did this was nothing more than to give himself a short-term fear process psychologically to shock himself. Recognizing this, Mr. Jackson was quickly relieved and asked, "What do you want to do?" while his wife went to pick up the dishes.
"I'll stop by to visit you, and talk about something else, you know I just came back today and heard that there are some people who are sneaking around behind my back to ......", Doolin shut, and Jackson's wife came back quickly, she placed a gold-rimmed dinner plate in front of Doolin, and laid a silver knife and fork for him. Durin thanked him before continuing, "I prefer straight fights, and I hate tricks like this to sneak up on me behind my back, Mr. Jackson. ”
"I felt the need to dig deeper into what this group of people were secretly saying and what they were going to do to me, a law-abiding citizen of the Empire. After he finished speaking, he smiled, "Okay, let's talk about something after eating, I feel very hungry when I see such a sumptuous dinner, and I didn't eat anything when I went out." ”
He took the lead and tore a roast chicken on the table, and Mr. Jackson glanced at his wife helplessly, and the two of them also picked up the knife and fork and started moving. Du Lin is very satisfied with a meal, there is a sentence that is very good, the food on other people's table, many people will have this feeling, it seems that the dishes made by others are a little more delicious than their own things. At least Dulin thought the dishes on the table were very tasty, and there was a very warm taste.
After eating and drinking, Mr. Jackson took Durin to the study on the second floor, and asked his wife to bring over a pot of coffee, and they might need to talk for a while.
After a simple cleansing and wiping of his hands, he sat down in his chair—there was no sofa in Mr. Jackson's study, only a few chairs and ankles, and Durin found one to sit on, and it felt good. After a while, Jackson's wife walked in with a coffee pot and two coffee cups, and got a cup for each of them. Durin stood up and grabbed the coffee tray and put it under his nose and asked, then placed it on the small round table beside him, "It smells very good, thank you very much for your hospitality, ma'am." ”
After the meal, Jackson's wife had no fear of Doolin, and a smile appeared on her face, and she even thought that Doolin was a very good young man. Young, good-looking, very capable and knowledgeable, except for the little unpleasantness at first, Doolin's witty conversation and wise performance at the dinner table made Jackson's wife see a completely different Duhrin from the rumor, and she also liked this young man a little.
In Mrs. Jackson's view, a child wanders alone far from home, surrounded by predators who eat people and do not spit out bones, and if he does not show toughness, he will be swallowed up long ago and there is not even dregs left. She forgave Doolin, then put away the tray and left with a smile, "Let's talk......
Looking at his wife Jackson, who left the study and did not forget to close the door, shook his head with a wry smile, the most successful speculation in his life was to marry his wife, and he was proud of it.
Durin took a sip of his coffee, complimenting the taste of the coffee, and then continued, "I want to know what you've said all morning. ”
Jackson stared at Durin first, then looked down at the coffee in his hand, "Why do you think I'm going to say that?"
Durin laughed twice and gave an answer that Jackson couldn't have imagined, "Because I'm a good person!", and when Jackson was shocked that During's skin thickness was simply appalling, Durin added, "Don't laugh, because you are the weakest party in that group, and the one who needs help the most." Mr. Jackson, I know most of the things you've done before, and I know you as a person, and I know your family. So I know you need help, and I happen to be able to give you the help you need. Speaking of this, Durin paused, "It just so happens that I need help too, and you are the one who can help me." ”
Mr. Jackson looked like there was a little elf hidden in the coffee in front of him, he took the spoon and slowly stirred the coffee, and after a while, he looked up at Durin, "What do you want to know?"
Du Lin cocked his legs, clasped the ten fingers of his hands on his legs, and smiled elegantly and politely, "All!"
In fact, Mr. Jackson also faced some complex problems, which, if not handled well, could become a nuisance. As the tobacco industry has entered a period of windfall profits in the past two years, the Imperial State Administration of Taxation has submitted a new proposal to raise the starting point and collection rate of taxes on 19 other products or industries in the tobacco industry, and has now entered the process of public consultation and hearings, and it is reported that the tax reform will be completed by the end of this year at the latest, in which the tax revenue of the tobacco industry will be directly increased from 15 percent to 55 percent.
The reason why the State Administration of Taxation made such a request was that in order to avoid the return of bilateral trade tariffs to normal after the tariff power returned to the hands of the empire, a large number of enterprises that relied on dumped goods to go to the empire went bankrupt, so it began to restore some tariffs to normal to a limited extent. As the empire's economy recovered and improved, a large number of rural people began to gather in the cities, and the demand for cigarettes began to skyrocket.
In the past, the dumping of federal cigarettes led to the bankruptcy of many tobacco companies, and there were not many tobacco companies left in the empire at this time. This small group of tobacco companies controlled the entire tobacco market in the empire, and they made too much profit, and after the money was withdrawn from circulation, if these tobacco companies could not continue to expand their operations, add more jobs, and reinvest this part of the money into the economic circulation system, it would definitely not be good news for the empire's economic system.
Money is money only when it is in circulation, and if it is not circulated, it is waste paper, and it will also destroy the economic construction of the empire.
To this end, the General Directorate of Taxation submitted nineteen tax reforms for goods and industries, which were supported by the Cabinet and will soon be likely to be implemented. Once implemented, Mr. Jackson's first thing to deal with was a collapse in his income, but his spending did not decrease in response, and could even become more as a result. Then he must find new sources of wealth and improve his ability to resist risks, and investing in garment factories in the south is one of them.
People often see thieves eating meat, but they don't notice that thieves are beaten, and now everyone is preaching the benefits and benefits of the real economy, of course, they are not wrong about anything, the real economy does have a very significant positive effect on society. More jobs could help stabilize the mood of the lower classes and the proletariat in society, and the large amount of tax payments also brought a positive side to the economic construction of the empire.
But not everyone can make money by investing in the real economy, and some people are losing money, but these people are subconsciously ignored.
Mr. Jackson's garment factories are currently in a state of loss, with more than 1,700 workers in the two garment factories, and working-class wages in the South are much higher than elsewhere, reaching a minimum of fifty-five dollars. Most of Mr. Jackson's workers were between sixty-two and fifty-five dollars, and he had to pay about 120,000 in cash each month just for his wages. In addition to the initial investment and various expenses, he must take out about 250,000 to 300,000 yuan of funds every month to invest in these two garment factories.
However, the benefits and net profits generated by the two garment factories are not even half of the expenditure, only about one-third.
The main reason for this situation is the lack of fame of his goods, unlike other garment factories, most of which are well-known tailor shops in the past, and they have a certain reputation in the society or in a certain region, and the clothes produced will definitely have a stable sales as long as the quality is qualified. A large number of unsalable clothes and necessary monthly expenses, as well as a sharp decline in future income, have become Mr. Jackson's biggest concern now.
