76 The third firm, the imperial court increases taxes
Under the shade of a tree on a hilltop, there is a light transparent layer of light, inside which two people are talking.
An old man wearing a blue-patterned black robe, earrings, and gemstone rings on his fingers said: "Zou Yang, what is the base price for Lingbao Trading Company's recent purchase of house-fixed properties? How did you find out?"
"Manager Zhang, I'm afraid I've disappointed you. In the past two years, Lingbao Trading Company has somehow managed to have a sudden influx of a large amount of materials, almost endless. Unless there is no competition, they are not afraid of high or low prices. They will pay no matter how high you offer.
They will increase the price, and the more land they sell, the lower they will be. They are completely uneasy about market rules!" The person who spoke was a young man, but he was a bit fat. He was wearing a brocade robe, gold and jade hangings, and a jade wreath on his thumb. He was also very wealthy.
, but his face looked bitter at this moment.
The old man in black robe was furious: "Huh! Look at you dressed in gold and silver and looking like a dog. Could it be that you have stayed in Lingbao Trading Company for a long time and forgotten who is your master? The whole Qingyou Prefecture is like this.
We have the final say, do you think it is safe to join Lingbao Trading Company?"
"Mr. Zhang, calm down, how dare I..."
But before Zou Yang could finish speaking, a voice came from outside in vain: "Zou Yang, you don't have to be conceited. Let me capture it and hand it over to Manager Yu. Then we can torture out the other party's minimum purchase price, and our firm will win.
There are even other secrets to march towards the central region!"
"What!"
Both Zou Yang and the black-robed Manager Zhang were shocked. Manager Zhang immediately yelled and cursed at Zou Yang: "You Zou Yang, you dare to trick me, you will die!"
As he spoke, he burst into the peak of Huanguang's cultivation, and struck Zou Yang with a palm. At the same time, he also raised a wind escape talisman and was about to escape, because this place was close to Xuexiang City, and he was afraid that the masters would come.
Unfortunately, there was a person waiting outside. He was wearing Qingying's illusory windbreaker to hide his figure. He held a rope in his hand. When Manager Zhang took action, he activated the rope and flew over to tie it up tightly. On the rope
Mysterious talisman patterns flashed, the wind escape talisman automatically failed, and Manager Zhang's cultivation was also banned. The rope was extremely magical, called Feng Lingshui, which was made by Xue Chen to imitate the divine rope, but the intelligence team only had one
, specially used to sneak attack and seal off the enemy.
Then, the man from the intelligence team appeared, wearing gold mail and a round-moon scimitar hanging from his waist. The silver light was cold. He looked at Zou Yang who was so frightened by the attack that he peed his pants just now. He sneered: "Come out and arrest us, otherwise we will press
Manager Yu said, kill without mercy!"
Being overwhelmed by the chilling aura of the intelligence team soldiers, Zou Yang, who was good at management, could not bear it. He immediately walked out with trembling hands and feet and shouted: "Guard Han, please let me go! I can give you spiritual stones and
How about 10,000 treasures? No, 20,000, then 30, 50, 000, 100,000 top-quality spiritual stones, this is my limit!"
The guard's eyes flashed as he listened, and he was obviously very moved, but then he shook his head and sighed: "What you said is indeed very tempting, but the company treats us well, and the benefits are very high. As long as I work hard, I can exchange for better benefits."
Don’t worry about cultivating magic elixirs. What’s the use of having more spiritual stones? Come back with me, maybe I can get a lighter sentence!”
Half an hour later, Guard Han forced Zou Yang and Manager Zhang back to Xuexiang City. Xue Chen and Yu Nian had already known about this from the order, and immediately had a way to deal with it. They first removed Zou Yang's position and imprisoned them.
, and then tortured General Manager Zhang. Xue Chen also took matters into his own hands, using the disillusionment of life and death to confuse his mind and will, and he found out everything at once and compiled it into information for Yu Nian.
"He is really from the Qingyou Dynasty, young master, what do you think we should do?" Yu Nian was a little worried after reading the information. After all, the Qingyou Dynasty has ruled Qingyou State for countless years, and there are rumors that there is more than one immortal.
Xue Chen waved his hand and said casually: "Don't worry, we are just doing business normally! Even if the immortal comes, I won't be afraid!"
After hearing Xue Chen's words from his own mouth, with his expression unchanged and full of confidence, Yu Nian took reassurance and took action boldly.
Then, the properties of some bankrupt trading houses in the North District were acquired by Lingbao Trading Company at high prices. What is even more shocking is that a large amount of property was tilted towards the central area, and they started to compete with the Qingyou Dynasty's industries. I don't know why, Lingbao Trading Company
He had a very clear understanding of the Qingyou Dynasty's industrial operations. He knew himself and his enemy, and quickly gained the upper hand. With favorable prices, he gained recognition from the monks in the central region. He established a firm foothold and started to operate slowly.
The Qingyou Dynasty was also very interested in this, but did not force it, because Lingbao Trading Company did not deliberately suppress the dynasty's business excessively, and the bottom line has not been touched. Generally, it is impossible to suppress it with strong methods, otherwise, their dynasty will lose
People's morale and luck are weakening, so they will generally consider everything they do. If the monk army is used to eradicate Lingbao Trading Company, then tens of millions of monks will not be able to buy suitable things, causing public outrage.
But they will not watch Lingbao Trading Company grow bigger, and further divide Qingyouzhou's business profits like Tianbao Trading Company. Naturally, they cannot afford to offend Tianbao Trading Company, but Lingbao Trading Company has a weak foundation, so they will definitely give it a try.
In a hall, next to the long-necked celadon swinging door, between the mountain and ink paintings hanging on the wall, there are flower pots in the four corners, green, red and purple, and the fragrance is overflowing. The whole hall is full of life, antique and cleverly decorated.
Yu Nian was sitting in the middle hall, which was naturally the Lingbao Pavilion. Sitting on the left was a young handsome man, wearing a golden dragon-turned-sea robe, trimmed with silver threads, and a purple jade crown with pearls inlaid on the top. He was full of nobility.
The posture is proud.
Behind them stood two maids, and an old man with a fair face and no beard. He held hands with a whisk and exuded a feminine aura. He was obviously a eunuch. There was also a group of royal guards waiting outside the door, each with black iron armor and bronze swords.
At the peak of the ninth level, the actual combat ability is estimated to be stronger, which is stronger than the escort team of Lingbao Trading Company.
After serving cakes and tea, Yu Nian cupped his hands and said with a smile, "The third prince came to our humble place. What's the important business?"
But the third prince did not speak, and kept his eyes slightly closed. Then the old eunuch from behind shouted in a sharp voice: "I said Mr. Yu, the third prince is here, and you business owners should greet him with a courtesy. Now I haven't even seen a single person.
You are just a real person of Huanguang level, this is a crime of great disrespect!"
Yu Nian just glanced at it and said with a smile: "We business owners are often away from home. When we come back, we practice in seclusion. I am in charge of everything in the business. Just tell me!"
brush!
The third prince suddenly opened his eyes, his light blooming, like a dragon roaring out of the sea. The noble aura of his natural destiny filled the hall, stagnating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, trying to exert pressure on Yu Nian. Unfortunately, after Yu Nian gained new magical powers, his will strengthened many times, and he simply couldn't.
He was not afraid of the third prince who was only at the peak of Huan Guang. Even the eunuch of the Void Order behind him was not afraid. Instead, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, leisurely and contentedly.
"Hmph! I, the prince, will get straight to the point. Your trading firm has affected the market of Qingyouzhou and greatly reduced the profits of other trading firms. Following the suggestions of many business owners, the imperial court has decided to increase taxes on you, whether it is housing tax, business tax, transportation, or customs clearance.
All taxes will be increased by one-tenth. This is a contract, and you have to sign it on your behalf!" The third prince said in a very strong tone, and took out a jade book page, with fine lines of tax types engraved on it.
It goes without saying that the Qingyou Dynasty wants to take a share of the huge profits of Lingbao Trading Company, and is exploiting it nakedly. As the saying goes, there is no royal land in the world, but as long as it is in Qingyou State, then Lingbao Trading Company
He must be restricted by the laws of the Qingyou Dynasty and suppressed by the Qingyou Dynasty in various names.
Although the tax rate is only one-tenth of the original increase, which is not too high, there are too many types of taxes, and the total wealth is terrifying. Naturally, Yu Nian cannot agree to it, and directly refuses in a cold voice: "Our commercial bank cannot
By signing such overlord clauses, your Qingyou Dynasty is looking for the wrong person when you are short of money, and Tianbao Trading Company will make even greater profits!"
Not only did he refuse, but he also made a sarcastic comment, saying, 'If you have the ability, you can go to Aitianbao Trading Company and try it.'
This made the third prince's face darken, and the eunuch behind him suddenly burst out with the pressure of the virtual pattern, and shouted at Yu Nian: "Bold! How dare you disrespect the imperial court's order in Qingyouzhou, are you going to rebel?"
Clang, clang, clang! Dang, clang, clang!
At this moment, on both sides of the courtyard outside, the Imperial Guards and Guards pulled out their weapons at the same time and faced off against each other, just short of a command to take action.
But Yu Nian has been in power for many years and is used to seeing big scenes. He is not afraid of intimidation at all and directly snorts: "My monks go against the will of heaven. The laws of the dynasty are just restrictions on ordinary people. For the sake of the imperial court immortals, our trading firm only
Some taxes and fees have brought a stable life to the people of Qingyou Prefecture, but I only see that the princes and nobles of the court spend their days drinking and drinking, while the common people are still struggling. It is delusional to want to raise taxes to get more money for your own consumption and enjoyment, especially
It's for my company, if you can convince other Tianbao companies and other immortal sects, we can consider it!"
What he said was reasonable. The Qingyou Dynasty, who originally wanted to intimidate the signing, naturally could not say anything to refute. The old eunuch was like a drake being choked, not knowing how to defend himself. However, he was ridiculed mercilessly by Yu Nian, as
The Third Prince, one of the princes, also had a very ugly expression on his face. He slapped the table and roared: "Believe it or not, I will bulldoze your Lingbao Trading Company on the 12th!"
"exist!"
A low shout was echoed, and a black-robed figure appeared out of thin air on the other side of the third prince, erupting with the pressure of the true method steps, causing Yu Nian's expression to change suddenly.
But Lingbao Trading Company also has experts, and they saw two equally strong qi burst out from behind the screen in the middle hall, suppressing the black-robed figure, and then a man and a woman walked out, rare and handsome, the woman was graceful and gentle, it was the formation king Duan Nan and Fu Zun
Wu Xiu stared closely at the figure in black robe.
Yu Nian gained confidence, stood up and sneered: "Third Prince, if you are here as a guest, we would welcome you, but what you said and did today is outrageous, Lingbao Trading Company does not welcome you, please!"
But the third prince didn't seem to hear it. His eyes were all attracted by the fresh and refined beauty, which looked like a fairy. His eyes glowed with a strong possessive light and he murmured: "As long as this fairy comes with me, the tax increase will be waived."
Got it!"
As soon as he said this, Wu Xiu's pretty face became angry, and Duan Nan's eyes burned with anger, and he yelled and cursed: "You are a prodigal son, how dare you hit my wife's attention, get out!"
As Duan Nan shouted loudly, a light array bloomed within his body, covering two maids, a eunuch, a guard and the third prince, and pushed them outward.
