Chapter 20 Sometimes you should listen quietly to what others have to say, and don't be in a hurry to interject

Sarcomo's work efficiency was high, especially when he saw the steps to the top of the mountain, and the passion for all the previous actions exploded instantly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Whether he agrees or disagrees, he is suppressed by him as the president of the Bell Province Business Association, and all businessmen in Bell Province must unconditionally cooperate with his actions. The interests involved in this are not tens of thousands of gold coins, but a much larger scale.

A monopoly commodity and the subdivisions that extend from this commodity are enough to make him above the presidents of other chambers of commerce, and his name as a legendary merchant will be even more dazzling.

When everything was in order, Mr. Sacomo invited Rennes to the first meeting of the Bell Provincial Business Association to discuss and consult on what goods would be eligible for tax rebates and subsidies.

The meeting was held in a luxurious house in the commercial district of Ortlenburg, where the Ortlenburg Chamber of Commerce was located, and the decoration was extravagant, with resplendent gold lacquer and gold cladding everywhere, and even the cracks in the white floor that were paved with no variegated color were poured with melted gold, filling all the gaps. The slave girls who belonged to the Chamber of Commerce wore light tulle and displayed their beautiful carcasses in front of everyone.

They are lucky enough to not have to sacrifice their bodies for a bite to eat or to feed their families. But they are equally pathetic, miserable, and anyone who has the idea can enjoy with them the pleasure of being between two different genders, not for the sake of racial reproduction, in any occasion in this building.

As soon as Wren entered the building, he couldn't help but cover his nose, the fragrance here was so strong that it choked his nose. Of course, he also understood what it was for, the strong fragrance could hide the faint fishy smell.

Sarcomo immediately had all the windows open, relieving Wren's discomfort a little.

"This time I gathered twenty-one members of the Chamber of Commerce in Ortlenburg, and they traded almost everything that could be bought in the whole of Ortlenburg. The process of this discussion will be synchronized with the headquarters of the Bell Chamber of Commerce. Of course, the end result will be dominated by your opinion. Sarcomo accompanied Rennes and explained the content of the meeting.

I have to say that these businessmen are really rich, and they actually want to open the magic window for synchronous communication in different places. The Magic Window is a great invention in which two magic arrays with the same magic pattern are inlaid with Tiberium hedrons, which will produce a magical magical resonance within a certain range. The result of this resonance is that a sand table about one meter square will sense each other. Write or draw on one side of the magic sand table, and the other side will immediately change in the same way, taking on words or pictures.

Some of the titled sages in the Imperial Capital Research Institute believe that if the magic pattern of the magic window can be used and supplemented more effectively, it may even be possible to achieve direct calls and face-to-face communication in the near future. Of course, this has been going on for at least thirty years, and the royal family has allocated more than a million gold coins for it, but to this day there has been no change in the magic window.

The reason why the merchants are rich is because of the price of the Tiberium spar, which is said to be a magical spar from the outside of the sky that can store a large amount of magic power and release it when necessary. A Tiberium hedron filled with magic and weighing about fifty grams sells for as much as ten gold coins. However, such a hedron could only maintain the magic pattern of the magic window for about three minutes.

Noncommittal about the attitude and importance of the Chamber of Commerce, Wren followed Sarcomo into the conference room.

The conference room was large, the round table made of gold-clad dragon's blood wood was extremely luxurious, and the conference chairs made of Monter's animal skin were also very beautiful, and the decoration was equally luxurious, but not serious enough. Businessmen, understandably, always settle things while eating, drinking, and having fun. The table was already full at this time, and when Wren and Sarcomo entered, the merchants all stood up as a sign of respect.

Wren raised his hand, everyone sat down, and Sarcomo took the lead and said: "Today's meeting is of great significance, and you must have understood that we will create a new era, and we will leave a strong page in the history of the empire, and we will be remembered by those who come after, and even be included in the textbooks of commerce, and worshiped by those who come after!", the old thing is very good at mobilizing the atmosphere, and the wealthy group of merchants wants to be respected more than other industries.

"Now, I would like to ask the lord of the great Ortlenburg, the golden nobleman, Baron Wrennes, to explain this new system to us. Sarcomo sat down in the first deputy position on the left, and the room erupted in applause and praise.

Wren will not be satisfied with his vanity, nor will he be overjoyed, this is his plan, and it is a plan that must be carried out and carried out. He looked around and said, "I don't want to talk nonsense, and I don't want to be polite, so I'll get straight to the point." He took a sip of black tea from the silver teacup, and glanced at Sarcomo, this black tea should have come from Dragon Island, and it had the unique fragrance of ambergris.

"I've listed 10 types of tax rebates and subsidies first, and I'll talk about the rest. First of all, Dragon Crystal, I told Sarcomo about this thing, the tax refund rate is 100%, that is to say, as long as you get Dragon Crystal from Byron or other places, you will pay taxes through me, and I will return and exchange as much as I pay. If Longjing trades directly with me, I will subsidize another five percent of the total price as an encouragement. Wren looked at the others, "Who has an opinion?"

Of course, no one will be stupid enough to stand up and object, Longjing has always been a sought-after product, they only thought that there would be tax refunds, but they didn't expect Longjing to have subsidies, which made many businessmen who smuggled Longjing unable to hold back their expressions and show a happy smile. The most important thing is that something that can only be smuggled in private can be done in the open, which greatly reduces the risk of these businessmen.

"Very good, the second item, food. All food within the consumption period is fully refunded and a 10% subsidy. Here I need to state that the subsidized price of grain is subsidized according to the average price of the empire. And the most important point is that old grain, rotten food, is not covered by the tax rebate, these things cannot be eaten by people, and can only be fed to livestock. ”

The big grain merchants are also smiling, and the grain trade has always been the safest and the largest compared to other trades, which are more risky.

Tax rebates and subsidized goods were established, and almost all the merchants of the province of Bell were paying attention to the matter, calculating how much benefit they would get from it, and almost all of them were satisfied. But when Wren proposed to add a tax on the goods, there was an objection.

"Why are Dragon Island cigarette bricks included in that protective tax? I protest against this initiative, and I demand that tobacco bricks also be included in the scope of tax refund!", a businessman couldn't help but object when Rennes included tobacco bricks in the protective tariff.

Cigarette bricks produced in Dragon Island are indeed good luxury consumer goods, which are much better than those inferior cigarette bricks in China, with higher prices and higher profits. How could he not feel distressed that every trade would bring this merchant more than twenty gold coins in profit, and that the income of hundreds of gold coins would suddenly be siphoned off by thirty and a half percent?" ”

For a moment, the lively conference room fell silent, and the merchants began to make eye contact, most of them exuding an ingenious state of mind, they wanted to see how the city lord, whom Sarcomo called the star of the future, could resolve the crisis.

Wren stood up and walked quietly, walked behind the businessman, and put his hands on his shoulders, "You know what? This is the first objection I've received since I came to Ortlenburg. ”

The merchant didn't look back, and said with a sneer: "Then there may be more in the future!"

Wren chuckled and looked at all the businessmen in the conference room, "Of course, there will be more people against me in the future, but this is Ortrenburg, my Ortrenburg!"

"I'll get out of here and go somewhere else!"

Wren patted him on the shoulder, "You don't have to go anywhere!"

Just as the merchant was about to sneer, he saw in the eyes of others a look of surprise and disbelief, and a hint of shock and resistance. Before he could react, Wren grinned and grabbed the palm-length silver paper cutter on the table, grabbed his little hair, forced him to look up, and then slammed it into his eyes. The sharp, sharp paper cutter thrust into the man's eyeballs and into his head almost without hindrance. Splatters of blood spilled onto the table in front of him, staining the white letter red.

He leaned forward and slammed his head against the tabletop, and the remaining half of the handle of the paper cutter was also slapped in, and the tip of the knife pierced through the few hairs on the back of his head.

Wren seemed to have done something insignificant, took out a white silk handkerchief, wiped the thick blood stained on his right hand, and then threw it on the ground, he raised his eyebrows, "Now that the dispute is settled, who else is against it?"

The air was frozen, no one dared to be born, and even breathing cautiously and gasping slightly, Wren nodded, "Then I'll elaborate on ......." ”
