Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 166
As soon as one person steps up to buy, a second person steps up to buy. Those who have money will buy a few more cans, and those who have no money will buy one can to satisfy their appetite. After all, many people have not tasted meat for a long time. After all, canned fish is very cheap, only 0.5 diamond coins, and even the beggars outside Gemstone City can tighten their belts and buy one or two cans.

The original distributors and butcher profiteers who gloated at the banning of the directly-operated stores before were stunned by this. They never thought that the Allied Forces would intervene and stand on the side of the Pandaren Legion, which is equivalent to putting a circle on the Maxim cans With a moral halo, anyone who agrees with the Allied Army will more or less have the idea of ​​wanting to support the development of Maxim's Cannery.

If Tang Yan, with the support of the Allied Forces, really runs Maxim's Cannery as a long-term charity, they, the dealers, butchers, and even the officials who can make money from it will face considerable losses.

What can be done to change the current situation?Resorting to force is tantamount to seeking death, and it is not good for the Xia family to conspire against the reputation of Maxim's Cannery.

The canned sea fish in the directly-operated store was only sold for two days and then closed again!

When the rural people around Baoshi City heard that canned sea fish was on sale again, and the price dropped by almost half, they traveled long distances to the bazaar to prepare for a batch to be stored in the warehouse to prepare for food shortages. closed business card.

There are also residents in Gem City who regret that they bought less, thinking that as residents of Gem City, they can buy them at any time, and they don't take this matter to heart.Now, God knows whether the directly-operated stores can continue to open in the bazaars.

Those rural people who came from afar finally figured out what happened through the notices at the door and the discussions of the residents of Gemstone City.

A few days ago, the directly-operated store was just banned by the health and quarantine department, and now it has attracted the tax department.

Stores in the bazaars can carry out business activities not only by paying rent and management fees, but also by paying taxes and protection fees.

The tax department issued a huge fine and shut down the direct-sale store on the grounds that the direct-sale store did not report to the competent authority before the operation.In view of the bad scandals that broke out at Maxim’s Cannery, operators are required to provide more transparent business data, and at the same time, they need to pay taxes in advance for one year, and refund any excess after the due date.

First, the health and quarantine department is looking for trouble, then the tax department, and what next?Will it be the Sheriff's Department, and then the Energy Management Department?
These are all under Wang Ming's control.

From this point of view, the boss of Gemstone City is planning to confront Tang Yan head-on.

The confrontation here is of course not resorting to force, but a confrontation within the established rules of the game.

One side is the leader of the mercenary group, and the other side is the founder of all the laws of Gem City. Of course, it is not easy for the former to gain a foothold under the framework established by the latter.

Seeing that the directly-operated store closed down, the rural people from the surrounding area could only lament and drive back.

They are very upset with the tax collector of Gem City, not only because they came from afar but returned empty-handed, but also because of the greed and viciousness of the management of Gem City.

No, this is already evil.

What is the behavior of Comrades Tang Yan and Jiao?
charitable!

A man and a pre-war robot, under the sky of the wasteland, are not afraid of the evil of people's hearts, resist the pressure from many parties, and do what they think is the right charity.Trying to make meat affordable for poor people and improve the survival rate of children.

Such kind deeds were oppressed and squeezed out by those in power in Gemstone City. What kind of black heart did those people have to do such an impersonal act?
Not only the rural people think this way, but the low-level people in Baoshi City who are still struggling to raise the protection fee standard are even gnashing their teeth with hatred for Wang Ming.

Many people didn't care about Tang Yan, Xia Xin's conflicts with Wang Ming, Hui Liancai and others at the beginning, and some even treated the big boss's game with an attitude of watching from the sidelines.

Facts have proved that this idea is extremely stupid.Because of the selfishness of Wang Ming and others, the directly-operated store cannot operate normally.Faced with a high fine, Tang Yan will lose a large sum of money, and his business activities themselves do not make money. If this goes on, if the Maxim Cannery is brought down, no one will be able to eat high-quality and cheap canned sea fish in the future.

They cursed, cursed, satirized...

But what?Wang Ming was very knowledgeable in Gemstone City, and the tax department also followed the rules. Tang Yan couldn't find a suitable reason to send troops to Gemstone City.

You must know that the last time four people and one dog attacked Gem City, it was because Luo Zuoming did a despicable act that put the Pandaren Legion in danger of extinction, and Tang Yan had a lot of evidence of Luo Zuoming's crimes in his hands, occupying the moral high ground, so he had to fight for it. A tough battle for survival and reputation.

This time it was different, Wang Ming used the rules and regulations of the bazaar to punish the illegal operation of the directly-operated stores, and most people would scold him secretly for revenge, and there was no way to publicly accuse him of any crimes.

The health and quarantine department made things difficult for the directly-operated stores because of Amoi's active operation and passed the customs. When the tax department picked the wrong time, Tang Yan finally couldn't help but run away.

After just one night, the residents of Baoshi City walked past the door of the directly-operated store and saw a letter signed "Tang Yan" to compatriots in Baoshi City.

The main content was that he agreed with Comrade Jiao to set the factory price of canned marine fish at 0.5 diamond coins, but he just wanted to take on some social responsibilities and offer love to more poor people. After all, he did not want to see his children and grandchildren living in a world where the jungle was eaten by the strong. , a twisted world where the good is deceitful and the good is justified.

This is his enlightenment after finding the love of his life a few days ago, and also the awakening after witnessing many miserable lives.However, this heart that wanted to contribute a little bit of brilliance to the society was framed by a shameless villain, and his enthusiasm was really poured with cold water.

What kind of annihilation of human nature would lead to higher taxes and levies on charitable activities? What kind of inherently evil human nature would lead to venting private anger at the expense of the interests of the lowest level people.

He announced that Maxim’s Cannery’s direct-sale store in the Baoshi City Bazaar will be closed indefinitely. According to Comrade Jiao’s suggestion, Maxim’s Cannery will set up a mobile sales point in the ruins outside the west gate of Baoshi City. The business hours are every morning. 8-11 pm, 1-4 pm, if you have the intention to buy, you can trade outside the west gate at the right time.

In addition, for customers coming from afar, if they exceed the business hours, they can go directly to Maxim’s Cannery for retail purchases. As long as they explain their intentions to the doorman, they will be received by someone specially assigned for them.

What does this letter explain? It shows that Comrades Tang Yan and Jiao have not given up...the people at the bottom of Baoshi City and the poor farmers in the surrounding area have not given up.

Facing the difficulties from Wang Ming, Hui Liancai and others, he did not give up, and he still persisted.

As written in that letter, the ruins of the Ximen State-owned Bank in Gemstone City have been briefly restored and turned into a direct sales point of Maxim’s Cannery.

Just because people like Wang Ming and Hui Liancai can do whatever they want outside the Gemstone City, it doesn't mean they can do whatever they want outside the Gemstone City.

The people think so.

It's a pity that they underestimated the shamelessness of those people.

Soon, in response to Maxim's Cannery's move to set up a direct sales point in the ruins of the West Gate, Jewel City issued a supplementary regulation --- any residents of Jewel City who bought goods at the direct sales point must pay an additional fee if they want to bring canned sea fish into the city. tariff.

Yes, tariffs, yes tariffs!
It is only stipulated in the tax law, but there has been no actual implementation of the tariff policy, because Tang Yan's charitable behavior was launched.

No customs duties were paid on pre-war items brought back from the ruins by scavenger traders.

The daily necessities imported by merchants from Jicheng, Western Union, Langya Settlement, and Jiankang City do not need to pay customs duties.

When it comes to Maxim brand cans, they have to pay customs duties.

This is no longer shameless, it's...even not wearing underwear.

The tax department’s response to those curses and insults is that Gem City has tax relief policies for scavengers, merchants and merchants, encouraging foreign materials to enter the city to boost the vitality of the bazaar, and at the same time, in exchange for other trading bodies. Reciprocal policies.

As a business entity independent of the market system, Maxim's Cannery must pay a certain price in exchange for market access.

The spokesperson of the tax department was so eloquent and so clear that there was no way to argue.But everyone knows that no matter how nice the words are, it can't change the fact that they are bullying others and suppressing Maxim's Cannery.

What is a rogue?This is the hooligan.They can always find a seemingly correct argument, turn the wrong into the right, turn the black into the white, and turn the false into the truth.

What are those so-called "hooligans" in the bazaar who buy and sell by force and bully the weak and fear the strong, in front of Wang Ming and others?Not even qualified to carry their shoes.

Many people gritted their teeth in hatred and scolded their mother frequently, wishing to dig out Wang Ming's heart and feed it to the dogs.

However, they could only speak quickly and dare not make any changes, because Wang Ming's fists were big and hard.

………………

On the roof of a high-rise building in the east of the Jewel City, the warm and humid air from the ocean blows the rusty air conditioner outside the unit.

Wang Ming was sitting on the swivel chair on the southeast side, with a cigar between his fingertips, the smoke was soft and the sunset was brilliant.

There are slightly squinted eyes over the black-framed glasses, and at the end of the line of sight is a red-spotted seagull hovering upwards.

He just came back from Gem City, thinking it was not yet dinner time, so as usual, he spent some time with the sunset on the horizon and a cigar.

There weren't many cigars left. Someone should go to the Vagabond and find Johnson for some more.

This thing is really strong, much more exciting than ordinary cigarettes.

Ever since he started smoking cigars, he no longer liked cigarettes.

A few days ago, Tang Yan changed his tough style and subdued himself at Al Jazeera, which caught him off guard.

Who wants to become more benevolent and righteous after a period of time, and even use the cash cow of Maxim's Cannery to do charity, which is simply wasteful and a waste of resources.

He was upset about it for a long time.

Tang Yan wanted to be a philanthropist, using real money to subsidize the poor in exchange for a positive image.

It looks like that person is trying to clear his name.

Of course, he will not let Tang Yan get what he wants smoothly. Although it is not the time to use force, he can use administrative means to give that kid some color.

Once Maxim's Cannery lacks ways to generate income and cannot make ends meet, what will Tang Yan do for charity?
life? !
Wang Ming also knew that this would cause dissatisfaction among the people of Gemstone City, but so what, this city was built by his ancestors, and the people in the city must abide by the rules of the game if they want to live a stable life, otherwise they can leave.

It is only right and proper for Lao Tzu to conquer the country, and his children and grandchildren enjoy wealth and honor.

dong dong dong...

There was a rush of footsteps from behind, and a man in a leather jacket and sunglasses flashed out of the corridor.

"Is it long?"

"Yes."

"It's time for dinner?"

"No."

Wang Ming frowned and turned his swivel chair to face the incoming person.

Chang You walked up to the swivel chair and said in a low voice, "Someone is coming from the north."

"Someone from the north?"

The "north" here reminds Wang Ming not of the Great Northeast, but a place farther than the Great Northeast.

"Yes."

"How did they come here?"

"The other party said that he was passing through the peninsula and came here to see you."

"Exactly." Wang Ming didn't take the visitor's words seriously, but he still got up from the swivel chair, put the unfinished cigar in the slot of the ashtray, tightened his shirt, and walked towards the stairs.

Changyou respectfully followed from behind.

………………

On the other side, Tang Yan was also meeting with guests.

Different from Wang Ming's guests, his guests came from Toshima not far to the south.

It was the ghoul Tan Zhen who had eliminated different voices on the island and performed management duties instead of the boss of the ship.

"The boss of the boat had many good opportunities to destroy the black hand mercenary group when he was there, but in the end he chose to let him go. Unexpectedly, raising a tiger would end up in trouble. Not only was Merlin not grateful for the boss's tolerance and kindness to him, but he also wanted to play against Toyoshima. .”

Tang Yan said with a smile: "You think it's the tolerance and kindness of the boat boss to Mei Lin, maybe the other party thinks that dragging the boat boss to death and then attacking Toshima is his tolerance and kindness to the islanders."

"Hmph!" Tan Zhen snorted coldly, his face darkened.

"The grievances between Boss Chuan and Merlin have passed away. The purpose of inviting you to Maxim Cannery this time is to hear your opinion."

Wang Ming kept testing Tang Yan's bottom line in the gem city, and Mei Lin, Chai Xiaonong and others were not idle.

According to the news sent back by Gourou, Chai Xiaonong has been very active recently. He went to Signal Mountain to meet with Meilin many times. Because of the terrain and the many guards, it can't get too close to the key position, but he still obtained some valuable information through long-term monitoring. intelligence.

Dong Pingchuan, the former Deputy Commander of the Gemstone City Guard, was sent to Jicheng after he was sent back to the company, so that those big bosses could understand the military strength of the Pandaren Legion. At the same time, he assisted Huo Dongsheng in lobbying the conservative forces to give up the idea of ​​​​waiting and seeing. Nip in the bud the pandaren legions that could bring instability to the peninsula.

The two helicopters that Gou Rou saw not long ago were the radical forces closely related to Hui Liancai who dropped military supplies on the black hand mercenary group.

According to what Meilin said, Jicheng will send more weapons to Signal Mountain in the near future. What they need to do now is to strengthen the relationship, carefully collect information about the Pandaren Legion, about Tang Yan, and act cautiously, not to startle the snake. , Let the enemy know that they are plotting to use force.
