678. The absolute victory of the utilitarians.
"Yo, my friend, I've heard that the number of tourists in Paris has increased almost ninefold."
Gu Tao said with a smile to Schroeder while sitting down, and picked up the bottle of top-grade red wine beside him, and snorted in his mouth: "The level of drinking has been improved." β
"Friend, you're exaggerating, now it's just that the whole world is rushing up to see the demons in Paris, and after a while, it will be two or three times at most at the end of the year."
Although Schroeder said it very modestly, his smile was still very bright, after all, this cake is really too big, a big cake of 100 billion yuan.
"Dividends?"
"Yes."
Schroeder didn't mean to lie to Gu Tao at all, he told Gu Tao very honestly about the 10% red, 15%...... According to this case, 10 percent of the annual tourism revenue will be 10 billion yuan less.
"It's not just me, but even the Autonomous Association, and their proportion is even higher, about 18 percent."
Schroeder is really a talent, Gu Tao stretched out his hand to call the sexyly dressed vampire waiter, when she ordered, the angle of her bending over was particularly obvious, and a scar was extremely deep, even in front of a rookie archbishop, she was not stingy to show her charm.
The vampire itself is white, and with a black leather coat, it looks like it's really ...... It's white and compact.
"I'm afraid you're not going to change Amsterdam."
Gu Tao took out a hundred-dollar bill to help her block the wound, and in Miss Vampire's happy thanks, Gu Tao laughed and teased Schroeder, and Schroeder was also dumbfounded but didn't know how to answer this question.
"Now the spirits of the whole of Europe are moving to Paris, and many underground places have even started some dirty service projects." Schroeder shook his head and said, "I have already communicated with the Autonomous Council, and they will start to govern soon." β
"Well, to create a sense of luxury, you must not make quick money." Gu Tao took a sip of red wine and pursed his lips: "The wine is good, I'll get me two bottles later." β
A bottle of wine of 3,000 euros, Schroeder will only open it when he entertains Gu Tao, and he wants two bottles when he gets started? But there is no way, people are the big bosses, and they dare not say anything else, in this place in France, no one can speak as well as him.
Britain is already the best example, a country that was originally quite good, but now it has been plagued by demons. If you really offended him because of a few bottles of wine, did you see the Siren Lady playing the harp and singing outside? They can sing and they can kill.
"Yes, you can. Mere trifle. Schroeder swallowed: "It's my personal gift." β
"Go to the public account." Gu Tao casually cut up the foie gras that was still sizzling: "From now on, you will transfer about 2% of the dividends every year to your own private account." β
Schroeder was stunned: "That...... Not embezzlement? β
"What is corruption? Corruption is when you take down the money secretly, and no one knows, this is called corruption. You gave me two percent, how can it be called corruption? Gu Tao raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Don't you understand?" β
Although two percent is an astronomical number in the eyes of ordinary people, it is actually nothing here in Gu Tao, and Schroeder also understands this, but why does he want this two percent? This question is a bit bothersome, and Schroeder is puzzled.
"You really don't understand?"
Gu Tao frowned, Schroeder immediately felt like a big enemy, and he quickly stood up: "I'm sorry, I'm too stupid." β
"Don't be so nervous." Gu Tao motioned for him to sit down: "Actually, it's normal to think of it, except for you, I will also ask them about two percent for the Autonomous Council, and I want to open a fund in Europe with this money." β
"Fund?"
"Yes, the fund." Gu Tao put the greasy fatty liver into his mouth, and experienced the melt-in-the-mouth aroma of oil: "A public welfare fund about the demons of other regions after they come to Europe." The money will be used to help unfamiliar spirits settle down in the area, and will give them a monthly stipend. Until they have a normal and stable income. β
"But what if they don't want to work all the time?"
"The maximum receiving time is two years, and another point is about the social pension of demons." Gu Tao rubbed his fingers and said: "No government will bear such an expense, so although the demon spirits live a long life, they are not immortal, and some of the demon spirits are even shorter than humans, so their pension problem needs to be solved, and this money is used for this." It can't be a government act, because it would inflame discontent in the human world, so it can only be a Foundation act. Based on the number of Wisps now, I've roughly calculated that two percent of your earnings will be taken out, and the Autonomous Council will take out about three or four percent, which is enough. β
This idea surprised Schroeder, he had seen someone who cared about the living space of the demon spirit, and someone who cared about the quality of life of the demon spirit, but it was really the first time he had seen someone pay attention to the social rights and interests of the demon spirit......
"Since you are now an integrated society, you must think about the problem in front of you, and you can't wait for it to be exposed. These problems are very basic, and there are other problems such as housing prices in demon settlements, education problems for the children of demon spirits, employment problems, etc., which all need to be planned. β
Gu Tao said a lot, and at this moment, a person of the same age as Schroeder and wearing a hat walked in outside, although he was wearing a very ordinary suit and a hat, but the sterling silver cross around his neck obviously marked its identity, even the vampire lady who was enthusiastic about everyone didn't want to be close to his side.
The man walked straight up to Schroeder, glanced at him and then at Gu Tao, gently took off his hat, and asked Schroeder with great humility: "This is Mr. Gu, right?" β
"Well, it's me." Gu Tao raised his chin: "Sit down." β
He pulled out a stool and sat diagonally across from Gu Tao, next to Schroeder. looked at Gu Tao with some apprehension, but didn't know what to say, and Gu Tao wanted to use the snail that had just come up, and said casually: "The regional bishop from England is right?" β
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
"I know all your demands, but I really can't do anything about it." Gu Tao shook his head and said: "The base is not my base alone, and I can only express my concern and regret about everything that happened in the UK, but the system of the base is there, and I cannot overthrow it and am not qualified to overthrow it." β
"I understand everything, I understand what you say, but the situation in Britain is very bad right now, and if no one intervenes, there will be a lot of casualties." The bishop of the region clutched his pendant with both hands: "All our hopes are in you, please be merciful." β
"I'm actually a benevolent person, can't you see it when you come from the outside? Is there a pretty girl with fox ears pestering you to buy flowers? Gu Tao took out the perfume lily: "It cost me ten euros in exchange for a flower and a beautiful fox lady's kiss, isn't it great?" β
"Super bargain." Schroeder held back a smile and said dryly: "That Miss Fox is very beautiful." β
"Yes...... I saw it too. But in the UK, they are not like that. β
"That's how they were." Gu Tao interrupted the bishop's words: "You are the one who displaced, it is you who make them precarious, Miss Fox is very beautiful but also has very sharp teeth. β
It's cool to drive people away, the aftermath crematorium is the current situation of the British people who use their butts to decide their heads, maybe it's just the local demons or something, they won't collapse so quickly, but thirty-three days are in, the effect is different, thirty-three days can be no matter what kind of humanitarianism, you slaughter and drive my people? Then I'll make your country finished.
Playing theocracy, what kind of thing is the Holy See, at least 3,000 years later than others.
"We've all realized our mistakes, so for the sake of the innocents."
Gu Tao glanced at Schroeder, then turned his head and said with a smile: "Didn't I give you the reloading technology?" β
"But it's far from enough to form a fighting force."
"Who's to blame?" Gu Tao took a sip of mushroom soup: "Today's taste is not good, it's light." β
Schroeder immediately got up and picked up Gu Tao's bowl of soup: "I'll go change it." β
After he left, Gu Tao raised his head: "Actually, there is no way, I can solve this matter in three hours, but what good is it for me?" Can you represent the UK government? β
"I ......"
"Can't? Then find someone who can. β
"I can!" The bishop took a deep breath: "Whatever you need, you just have to ask." β
In fact, Gu Tao is an absolute utilitarian and a pragmatist, no matter how much he claims to be a romantic poet, he is actually a utilitarian in his bones.
After eating, he and the regional archbishop took a boat to England, but he refused to get off the ship, and there were already many people waiting for him on the shore, but he just refused to get off the boat.
"I said it when I left before." Gu Tao sat on the boat and lit a cigarette: "I will not step on that line in this life, although the line is invisible now, but the line in my heart is still there, let them come up for me." β
What to do, although they are aggrieved, but now they are really almost at the stage where the country is broken, the demon spirit riot is different from other riots, it is almost impossible to suppress, the only way is to reconcile, but this reconciliation ...... The cost is too great.
"Hah, see you again."
Gu Tao sat in the sun wearing sunglasses, looking at the government officials who came up one after another. Most of these people he had seen before, and even the person who negotiated with him came, looking at their dejected appearances, Gu Tao came out with a bad breath.
He has never been a generous person, although he can't say that he will repay his eyes and have a small belly, but he is definitely the kind of person who will sing and dance when he sees the people who have offended him before, so when he sees the current state of these people, his heart is happy.
"Everyone's mood doesn't seem to be very good, huh?"
Gu Tao asked with a smile, that look of concern made everyone present want to use a pot of hot butter to pour it directly from his heavenly spirit cover, and it was over.
"This time, I don't represent the base, I only represent myself, and even if it's the base, I'm afraid I won't be able to solve it for you, the people you provoke are a bit big." Gu Tao said unhurriedly: "Then, here comes the problem. Who have you sinned? Of course it's not me, although your behavior makes me unhappy, but from a political standpoint, everyone wants to fight for the greatest interests of their country, and it is human nature to love their homeland. β
Whether it is Eastern civilization or Western civilization, in fact, they can interfere with each other in space, for example, whether it is the Western theory of heaven and God, or the Eastern theory of the fairy world and the theory of the Emperor of Heaven, in fact, there are many characteristics and commonalities. So since the thirty-three days can be opened in Siberia, it can naturally be opened in Europe, the Americas, Africa, any place, if you trace back, maybe the top boss of a certain sect is actually a certain procurement person in the last thirty-three days, right?
Gu Tao didn't want to check these, because it was meaningless, after all, whether it was the East or the West, most of the products that ended up in other people's mouths were art-processed products, which had no actual reference value, and the gap with the reality was a bit big.
In fact, the conditions that Gu Tao negotiated with them were very simple, because this was a negotiation with the demons, so now Gu Tao was acting as an intermediary, and in the whole of England, the highest-level demons were the huge JΓΆrmungandr that roamed outside the coastline.
That is, the dust python......
It's a bit complicated to explain here, Gu Tao inherited the name of the dust python, but the dust python is still a dust python, and the snake clan has more than one huge dust python, and ordinary people only know one Yemenggade when they look at this size.
But Gu Tao knows her...... This dust python actually has its own name, and her name is steamed bun.
Don't doubt it, she's called steamed buns. Gu Tao has seen steamed buns a few times, and when he was in human form, he looked like a little Lori, not a mature dust python, after all, the mature body is too big, which seriously affects the safety of human beings.
Then, there are a few of her equals, such as the huge three-headed bird, the name of the three-headed bird is Jiu Jiu, the name of the super cute, but the body is a middle-aged bearded man, under the Phoenix.
Alas! When you hear these four words from Phoenix's subordinates, you should have a consciousness at the first time, what consciousness? Not smart enough, it's not that a family doesn't enter a door, and there is no smart one under Phoenix, no!
So, who is on land? This demon spirit is actually quite famous, he used to crisscross the Eurasian continent, he should now be Gu Tao's direct subordinate, and the only normal demon spirit, that is, a wolf demon. Its name here is Hatti, and it is recorded in Norse mythology, and there is also information about it in the accounts of the Russian people.
Right...... Myths are universal.
