Chapter 18 The baby is wronged, but the baby doesn't say it
Drawback?
Subsidy?
As a legendary businessman, Sarcomo didn't think that anyone with business acumen could far surpass his own, even in the face of the president of the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce, he could maintain a reserved smile, and then look away from the other party with contemptuous eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but now, he found that his brain was a little insufficient, because he couldn't understand what this tax rebate and subsidy was talking about. If taken literally, a tax refund may mean a refund of taxes, so is there any difference between this and adjusting the percentage of commercial taxes?
And the subsidy is even more difficult to understand, he has never heard of such a thing. It is good that a businessman can not be skinned layer by layer by those ruling classes, how can there be such a good thing as subsidy? Could it be that the god of light has already descended into the world? The nobles have all turned into pigeons?
Because of the unknown, Sarcomo's attitude is extremely low, even when it comes to what he does best.
"Trade is nothing more than buying and selling, buying from one place and selling elsewhere, earning the difference. This is at the heart of almost all business and trade. After speaking, Wren looked at Sarcomo, who thought about it and nodded in agreement, this is indeed the core of the business. Wren picked up the teacup that had just been filled with black tea and put it on his chest, took a sip of the slightly hot tea soup, and breathed a sigh of relief, he continued: "Trade has nothing to do with good or bad, but there are good and bad, good and evil in the trading items in trade. Tax rebates and subsidies ultimately serve the goal of those good goods. ”
Wren pursed his lips and stretched out a finger, "Let's say ......," he glanced at Sarcomo, "The Imperial Academy of Sciences has recently made a breakthrough in the research of dragon crystals, and the imperial dragon crystals do not have many reserves, which has caused the results of slow research. But if there is a way to get a large number of dragon crystals from the Byron Empire to speed up the research and development of imperial researchers, this is a good thing, and dragon crystals are also a good commodity. For this reason, I am willing to rebate and subsidize this commodity, because it has the potential to greatly increase the power of the empire. ”
The Byron Empire was closer to Dragon Island, and they got the approval of Dragon Island and obtained the right to sell a part of the dragon crystal and dragon bones.
"Another example is grain, the increase in domestic food production is limited, and I have to say that Orlando is not a very suitable country for cultivation. Our current food production is barely enough to fill the stomachs of the citizens of the Empire. If someone can import a large amount of grain from other countries, and this grain will change the environment of the empire and feed some people who can't eat food, then food is a good thing. For this reason, I am also willing to provide tax rebates and subsidies for this product. ”
Having said that, if Sarcomo doesn't understand it, then he doesn't deserve the title of "legendary businessman". His brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help asking, "My lord, since there are tax rebates and subsidies, is there also a certain name for increasing taxes?"
Wren shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, this kind of name I call protective tariffs, for example, luxury goods, cigarette bricks, animals or plants that may contribute to the extinction of something in the country. ”
"Are luxury goods subject to protective tariffs?", Sarcomo was a little curious, the objects of luxury goods were almost all nobles, and only nobles and their merchants could afford luxury goods, and those citizens and freemen would not be able to afford a plate of gold coins at all.
Wren nodded, "Luxury goods will make people spend a lot of money in meaningless places, and at the same time, the rich, including the nobility, need to contribute a little more to the construction of the entire empire. After saying this, Wren looked like a worried imperial pillar, which made Sarcomo look toothache.
Sarcomo thought it was ridiculous, and at the same time had an even more ridiculous thought, he swallowed and asked, "Then who defines the quality of this product?"
Ignoring Sarcomo's expectant eyes, Wren nodded his chest and said confidently: "Of course I have the final say!"
What does this madman want to do? Sarcomo's mind was boiling, and he could already imagine that once Wren's plan was implemented, the Imperial Capital would soon have to intervene in the matter. Not because he had disrupted the market, but because he had opened up a whole new way for the empire to manipulate the Chamber of Commerce, which they had been thinking about for a long time. And Wren will also regain the appreciation and recognition of some people in the imperial capital, especially from the royal family.
He's using a knife to cut meat from someone else to feed the entire ruling class!
But on the other hand, Sarcomo also saw an opportunity in it. Monopoly is the ultimate goal of the merchants, and since this can be done, why can't the businessmen make a move from it? Once they monopolize a certain commodity, they will inevitably artificially create a number of giant merchants.
Resisting Wren's rules on the one hand, and itching on the other, Sarcomo found that he really couldn't underestimate the young nobleman. He was not much worse than the old foxes who had dealt with him in the imperial capital, and even more cunning and insidious than some. It's hard to imagine that such an outstanding young man was kicked out of the imperial capital, I really don't know if he was too unlucky, or he was too lucky.
Yes, just lucky. Looking at Wren, who was as stable as a pool of deep and waveless ancient wells, Sarcomo thought for the first time that he had an eleven-year-old granddaughter at home, and there was no one to match. If you can...... He never expected the wife of a nobleman to be a lowly merchant's child, but what about a side wife, or a little less demanding, a mistress? Sometimes a noble mistress is more effective than a noble wife.
As for whether the granddaughter wants it or not, that is not a question at all, the stick will make her understand that the will of the grandfather cannot be disobeyed.
Sarcomo was not a hesitant person, and he immediately asked, "My lord, are you married?"
Wren looked at him in surprise, wondering why the old guy would ask such a stupid question. The descendants of the merchants should never want to be the wives of nobles unless the god of light descends. He shook his head and looked into the distance.
Sarcomo's heart is hot, and it is just right that there is no marriage match, at least giving his granddaughter a chance to develop a relationship. If there is a match, the woman may find a way to kill the mistress who sent her to the door.
Immediately, Sarcomo said his thoughts, "I have a granddaughter who is absolutely one in ten million, and I will arrange for her to be sent over as soon as possible." I don't mean anything else, I just hope that she can take care of the life of adults, serve tea and pour water or something, or warm the bed, Ortlenburg in winter is not easy, especially the moment when you get into the bed. ”
Wren looked at Sarcomo again, but his mind was on the gains. Obviously, the advantages of taking in a granddaughter of the president of the Bell Chamber of Commerce outweigh the disadvantages, and he can even hold the ...... hostage in some ways No, it's through coordination that allows the Chamber of Commerce to bring a lot of benefits to itself. This is a good way, especially this woman who may come, and will not encroach on the only place for his marriage with the great nobles of the imperial capital.
Wren smiled, and so did Sarcomo.
A whole new deal has been made!
The eleven-year-old girl, who was far away in the capital of Belle Province, would never have imagined that her grandfather, who loved her, would "sell" her to someone she had never met hundreds of kilometers away in exchange for some kind of support.
Is it pathetic? maybe? Who knows?!
After a brief chat, Wren asked the chief maid to send Sarcomo away, and he sat in the courtyard, thinking about how to deal with the mercenary group in the city, as well as Harvey.
Sarcomo's sudden intervention changed his plans, but it didn't matter, after the information explosion of another world, he had a way to deal with these natives who had grass growing in their heads, and they were greedy natives.
After several days of negotiations, Ortrenburg calmed down once again, and although some small-scale killings continued in places beyond the eye of the people, Ortlenburg was like an old grandfather basking in the scorching autumn sun compared to the panicked city some time before, exuding a languid and rancid stench of life coming to an end.
Some smart people have discovered that the black hand behind all this is the new city lord in the city lord's mansion, and many people have begun to fall silent. A strong city lord will change everything here, as for whether the change is good or bad, no one knows. The only thing they know is that they must not offend the adult, otherwise once the adult decides to do it, no one knows what will happen to them.
Look at Hooth, look at Daddy Rice, two powerful men who are now buried in a cemetery outside the city, and have become a dispensable name in the city's history.
"You mean...... The Lord of the City wants to see me?", Harvey shuddered, he really tossed and turned during this time, and it was difficult for him to sleep. Whenever he thinks of Hut, he fidgets. No one is stupid, especially when the title deed worth millions of gold coins returned to Wren's hands, people let go of their blind fanaticism and began to rationally sort out everything, and it is not difficult to find that the trigger for all this came from Wren's report.
If he hadn't reported the crime, the talkative guards wouldn't have leaked the news, and they wouldn't have caused everything that happened next. It was him, it was he who caused this tragedy with his own hands!
The carriage stopped behind the gate of the City Lord's Mansion again, and the carriage had already been washed clean by their group, but the invisible layer of blood on the carriage could not be washed away, and it would be remembered by them for a lifetime until the moment of death.
Harvey asked, "Did the Lord of the City say why did you want to see me?", he stuffed two silver coins into the pockets of the servants of the City Lord's Mansion, "One more question, should I hide now?"
The servant grinned happily, and somehow got two silver coins, which raised his loyalty to the city lord to another level - if he wasn't from the city lord's mansion, Harvey wouldn't have given him silver coins to buy him off, and he still understood this truth.
"The lord of the castle said that he wanted to buy slaves, and you are the largest slave dealer in the city, so your lord called your name. ”
Harvey breathed a sigh of relief, not to make trouble for himself. As for buying slaves, give this ruthless lord a discount!
It's strange that Wren has never said a cruel word, has never bullied anyone, and even maintains his aristocratic demeanor towards everyone, but in this city, many big people think that the personable Wren is a vicious person, and he is so wronged that he has no place to reason!!
