"Yes, I have a doubt, and it is also a doubt about the empire's finances. Why do your products have to be shipped all the way to Longmen and Victoria for sale?"

"Hmm..." Talula hesitated for a moment. She thought that Witt would use the farm land in accordance with the rules, and she might make a test about the military, security, and the current war, etc., but she didn't expect it to be this.

Of course she would not think that Werther was asking knowingly, why not transport it to Ursus for sale, of course it was because the noble faction of Ursas was fighting with them, the emperor was not real for such a big battle and blockade Blind can't see.

After a slight turn of his mind, he understood what Werther meant. He was half probing, half proposing the beginning of a cooperation, and also giving Tallulah a step down. Negotiate in more detail.

At the same time, it also exposed his intention and main purpose. After all, everyone knows that both sides are working on a film. Although the Black Snake is not targeting the Xia Group, the Xia Group is only registered in a small border town of Usas in name. It's just a small business, but there is always a step down.

It is impossible to throw weapons of mass destruction at each other yesterday, and suddenly reconcile today. This is not impossible, but there must be a reason, and this reason is tantamount to throwing it to Tallulah. She just needs to take If you come up with an excuse that does not insult people's intelligence on the surface, the emperor will acquiesce.

"Of course not. This is because of the boss's strategic plan. We need to develop the Longmen market first and reach some kind of cooperation with Swire Group. After all, Longmen's real estate business can make more money than farming. Do you understand?"

"Of course, the empire is very happy to see its companies go out and make a difference in business." Werther was slightly taken aback, but also nodded, looking enthusiastic and sincere, but both parties present knew that this was just a formulaic attitude. .

The two sides talked a lot afterwards, none of which involved those aristocratic boycotts, blockades and a lot of problems, and the emperor's envoy also gave a lot of nonsense and promises that seemed useless. From Bai's point of view, this kind of dialogue was insincere and did not bring out any so-called "benefits".

However, for Tallulah, who is familiar with the nobles, she is relieved. Some proposals that seem to be a loss to herself are benefits in themselves. For example, the payment of the agricultural tax of the Xia Group seems to be The imperial government came to grab money confidently, but there are some issues that cannot be viewed that way.

It seems that some people can only see the value of the 500 yuan and the pennant itself, but cannot see the invisible value it represents. Similarly, some people can only see that the Xia Group needs a large amount of expenditure for no reason. , but did not realize that "tax payment" itself represents a very terrible thing.

A terrorist organization or an illegal criminal group does not need to pay taxes. Their income can only be called "illegal income", and the end result can only be confiscated. If the imperial government collects their taxes, it means that they have recognized their income. Income is legal, reasonable, and protected by imperial law.

It is also tantamount to acknowledging in disguise that the integration movement is a labor union affiliated to the Xia Group, and the Xia Group is a protected enterprise recognized by the imperial finance department and the emperor.

And the subsequent things that seem to be net benefits are in themselves providing a series of legal background explanations for the group. This cannot prevent the nobles from eating cards, but it can reduce a series of problems created by Victoria's bureaucrats. trouble.

Moreover, in terms of transportation, sales, and warehousing, it is no longer the unstable and tacit behavior that is now. It is also asking Herag to provide transportation and escort services, which will change from being an enemy to a legal and reasonable rescue. Behavior of the country's merchants.

The money obtained by the Herag Legion was laundered from bribes to legal labor income in an instant, and at the same time, it was equivalent to granting the group a certificate of access to the Ursas market - no amount of money is good something to buy.

"Has Boss Xia ever thought about letting the goods enter the Fort Saint Jun? I think His Majesty the Emperor should be very happy to have some treasures from the snow field in his wine cabinet." This is almost expressing the attitude of the emperor and the official government.

"Of course, it's just that there are various famous wineries in Saint Jun Castle. I'm afraid that our small specialty products on the snowy field will hardly be selected as royal tributes." ...Three concessions and three humility, and then the bag is safe.

"Hey, those wineries have a history of hundreds of years, and there is no shortage of royal families. However, I have never seen this kind of special product. After all, Beiyuan is a place of bitter cold."

"That's true, but our production capacity is limited, and a considerable part of the products have been used as collateral for the development of Longmen Real Estate."

Tallulah smiled and said, she doesn't understand business, and she doesn't understand politics, but she understands the nobleman's negotiating tactics and bargaining—now that the emperor's goal has been achieved more than half, the price he offered is accepted here , and then it's time for him to ask for prices.

"We are beyond our capabilities to supply St. Junburg, the magnificent central city of the empire." Tallulah began to bid, and it depends on how the other side accepts the offer.

"It's natural. It's not easy to produce on the snowy field. To be honest, it's a miracle that you can open up farms here. The imperial government can provide you with tax-free preferential policies." Werther laughed and praised it first, and then it didn't hurt. Itching to throw out worthless tax exemptions, there will definitely be a tax exemption policy without talking about it.

If he really dared to return the tax, the emperor's face would turn dark instead. Let's not discuss the tax money. It is agreed that there will be so much money. When the time comes, who will be sent by Ursus, and what form will be used to collect it? I don't know. The name has become a serious payment, a transaction that provides protection, without any substantive constraints.

The tax-free policy is another matter. Although the emperor cannot receive the money, he can earn greater benefits from other directions. On the other hand, this tax-free policy must be maintained to avoid violent resistance to military wars. Expenditure (which is much more than tax money), they must support the current emperor, which is tantamount to reaching some kind of preliminary economic alliance.

As for shareholding and participation in business operations, it can only be proposed after entering the second half of the cooperation and in a very intimate state. To propose it now is licking your face and grabbing it by force, and the premise is that you can fight well.

"It's not enough, we're not worried about money" Talulah poured herself a glass of whiskey, put two ice cubes and a little sugar, "Sorry, I'm used to drinking sweet wine" and drank it all, Usa When the Sri Lankan negotiates, if you don’t drink two glasses, you will feel that both parties have no sincerity.

"Then what are your difficulties? The imperial government exists to solve problems for everyone~" Werther's expression moved slightly, and he smiled and said a cliché, which translates to "Then you just say what you want."

"I don't know much about business operations, but the escorts along the way, the passing checkpoints, and the road wear and tear are not low. It's really a long way to send it to Fort Saint Jun..." Since Werther handed over the knife Now, Tallulah naturally began to ask for prices, asking for the most difficult problem, which the emperor probably couldn't solve.

He can solve these private checkpoints along the way, the leaders of the various armies eat empty pay, guest bandits, and engage in military, political and economic problems by himself. He can also tolerate the jump of the Xia Group, and he has already used Ursas's strength to forcibly If it is wiped out, then it will be Lao Xia's turn to be unable to stand it.

It just can't solve these aristocratic self-government, only an empty crown that few people recognize, so generous to talk to them, even to put it bluntly, even the last emperor is also an emperor, better than a puppet emperor OK!

In this negotiation, the emperor and Werther, who seem to be rich in the entire Ursas, are the weaker side, because Tallulah really controls and masters this land, and she can really mobilize all human and material resources And financial resources, even with the support of foreign forces.

And what about the emperor?All he can mobilize is a group of insatiable nobles, and he has to provide enough benefits. In order to consume the strength of the nobles, the previous emperor almost used up all the chips of the royal family. It was originally used to encourage the nobles to join the war. Consume the power of the nobles in the tragic expansion war. 【Behavior of the King of Law】

As a result, the territory directly under the royal family was lost in all directions, and all the expanded land fell into the hands of border warlords and big nobles. All that was consumed was the strength of those small and middle nobles, which in turn consumed the power of the royal family. prestige.

And these warlords and big nobles who have tasted the sweetness are trying to do things again, let the little emperor do the same, and see how much oil the royal family has to squeeze. From a certain point of view, most of the feudal dynasties, the top The royal family is actually on the same front as the common people at the bottom.

Therefore, if we really discuss the direct power, it is hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker between Tallulah and Emperor Ursus, but the latter occupies a name. If Tallulah really jumps up to rebel, there may be a common attack on the world scene.

"In terms of escort, you can apply for the escort of the Ursus Legion. This is the right that Ursas citizens should enjoy, especially for you as upper-class citizens." Witte kicked the ball back without hesitation, "They will Free and safe escort for you”

"..." It's really shameless, Tallulah felt a little nauseous, what is free and safe, that is to safely escort the goods to their own station, it must be free.

However, officially this is indeed one of the obligations of the Ursus army, but can you talk to those military leaders about this matter without paying any benefits?Werther looked like "you go ahead, just say what the emperor said", what a joke, Emperor Ursus said what he said, and he had already dispatched the Fifth Army to mobilize all the members of the Black Snake.

"As for the tax rate of the local nobles, according to the laws of Ursas, local laws and regulations should be followed. However, you can protest to the Senate of the Imperial Nobles."

Nonsense, of course you can, but it must be someone kneeling under the hall, why sue this official!One side asks for the sky-high price, and the other side pays back the money when it lands. However, the highest price itself is a temptation.

"Besides, we have a shortage of manpower here, mainly infected people, and the labor cost of infected people is not low, and there are many people who escaped. They were discriminated against and hurt along the way, and we have to support them. A few years, as for saying that ordinary people don’t come at all.”

Talul has pulled out the second price. This is the more sincere part. It requires the emperor to improve the treatment of the infected and prevent the empire from using the infected as consumables. This is also a way for the emperor to maintain internal stability. Profitable way.

"Regarding this point, the infected cannot legally be recognized as a legal citizen of the empire, but... this is not impossible." Witt thought for a while, and felt that this price could barely be considered a category that could be discussed. , began to gradually counter-offer.

After a very intense and slang-filled negotiation, which on the surface was similar to small talk, the two parties finally reached a series of agreements that did not leave any contracts or treaties. Specifically speaking, it was the empire's recognition of the Xia Group. Legal status, and a series of policies that are not so much preferential treatment as endorsement.

At the same time, in terms of manpower, the empire allows the Xia Group to recruit labor including infected people in all places including St. Junbao. As for the transportation and escort issues, they are not responsible, and the cost of this "recruitment" is also Irresponsible, to put it bluntly, is to allow them to engage in human trafficking.

Werther made it very clear that according to the law of the empire, the infected are not human beings. Since they are not human beings, they can be treated as goods, allowing them to carry out real slave trade in a disguised form. In this way, those nobles will not have any objection.

At the same time, the empire also agreed in principle to the Xia Group as a legal enterprise to register legal identities for its employees.

That is to say, if this side really wants to obtain a certain degree of welfare for the infected, then the infected can be traded as "goods" in accordance with the laws of the empire, and how to use the slaves after buying them is the slave owner If the slave owner insists on freeing the slaves, no one else can control them.

As soon as these infected people come back to work, they become employees of the Xia Group. He can register as Longmen or Victoria, and Ursas recognizes this foreign status in principle, so they become not Ursas. The human Ursus - from non-human to human.

In addition to the infected, other ordinary people will also recruit, but Witt refused to provide free medicine to the infected, but he promised that next time a leather bag company controlled by the royal family will purchase the medicine here. As for What to do with it, I suggest that it is best not to ask Lao Xia here, and they will not tell if they ask.

However, Tallulah is not a simple businessman, nor is she a guy who really wants to crack the earth to become a king. No matter what they buy back for, these medicines will eventually be used on the infected people. It is enough to improve the situation of some infected people .

As for the minutiae, such as the sale of agricultural products in several territories directly under the royal family, luxury goods labeled as special supplies of the royal family, business cooperation such as the emperor's disguised endorsement will be smoother, let alone the sweet wheat produced here The whiskey and cloudberry mead are really good.

The latter is Odin’s sacrifice fair. In Northern Europe, it is a luxury drink that you can’t drink casually even if you become a heroic spirit after death [correct], now make a special offer from the Ursas royal family, recommended by the Duke of Koscie’s family Certification [Sister Tazi: Isn't the orphan from the Kosiche family? ], the label of the secret recipe of the Dayan Clan, no matter how you say it, a bottle costs 20 Longmen coins, right?

Are you kidding, 20, at least 200 million, no discount, not everyone can buy it, and you need a blood certificate, title certificate, this is exclusive to the royal family, what is it called for ordinary people?Call Passover!It's called a violation!

What kind of diamond filter, gold foil packaging is all on, the bottle is designed by a famous artist, and then it is packaged in an exquisite crystal bottle manufactured by Xia's Group's fine crystal processing, and put it on the shelf, it is a style, anyone who sees it will praise A "style".

[The kimberlite rock tube is here, and the diamonds are worthless at all... There is no problem with filtering wine, of course, there is only a special bonus]

In the luxury industry, one has to think about the psychology of customers. If one can afford a bottle of wine worth 200 million yuan, does he mind paying another 200 million yuan for a set of wine sets with a diamond filter that costs less than [-] yuan?

Even the wine bottle with wine utensils, and a matte black carbon nano-packaging box, the price is 500 million yuan, does not support installments and discounts, but also divided into Earl Edition, Duke Edition, Emperor Edition, Emperor Exclusive Edition, add one as appropriate Zero or something is sold out, and there is a limit!

In the business of buying luxury goods, what you want is to be competitive. The so-called not seeking the best, but seeking the most expensive!

[Please read the above passage with Ge You's tone in mind]

Tallulah has already thought about this series of packaging and sales strategies. When discussing with Lao Xia before, the latter said that she is really a prodigy in luxury sales. Of course, such a gold medal sale naturally requires a share of the money. , Lao Xia gave her a 15% dividend, that is, 15% of the huge profit belonged to her.

She can use it for her own expenses, and it can also be used for the integration movement, which has become a legal organization similar to the Xia Group workers' union after negotiating with Witte, as employee benefits and other expenses.

[PS]

Today I went to fulfill the basic duties of citizens of the republic-pay taxes...

Because the manuscript fee for this month has exceeded the upper limit of Maoke's billing, I can only invoice myself.

After tossing for a long time, I found out that it is a local regulation in Zhejiang. We don’t have such a thing here. You can drive as much as you want~_(:з」∠)_

Then it took me all afternoon to issue the ticket and send it back to Northwest.

By the way, get the first tax clearance certificate in your life~

Chapter 34 Devil's Time Begins

"It's basically like this. Although we still need to solve the transportation, including the storefronts, various exorbitant taxes from the local nobles, and channels, we have to solve it ourselves, but at least we don't need to go to the black market or illegally to sell things in Ursas. Channels, and in theory, we are now a legal enterprise, and the act of occupying Beiyuan's production is also legal, even if Kosiche calls, it will be difficult to do anything to us without a legitimate reason."

"But, he can still do it, right?"

"Yes, it will only make the old black snake more worried, but if he really comes over, our counterattack will become a legal act, and we won't be strangled by the entire Ursus, just like you said, At least the other half of Ursas won't be our enemies anymore." Tallulah sighed, "But correspondingly, we can't take the initiative to attack those nobles' cities, and we can't forcefully break down the cities like before."

"This is normal. If you can't effectively occupy the city after breaking it, then your behavior is not substantially different from rogue robbery." It is not difficult to blast a city with the help of the "Screamer" rail gun, but To occupy a city is two different things.

It's very simple. Even according to China's ruling standards, the ratio of officials to citizens must be around 1:200. Take out about 100 reliable administrative personnel.

Moreover, this is still the practice in peacetime. If it is a wartime, in the case of forced occupation, the ratio needs to reach about 1:12, that is to say, there must be an educated and firm-minded cadre in every 12 people. Ensure that the whole process is relatively stable and implement effective governance.

Instead of relying too much on the original local tyrants and evil gentry, noble and landlord forces, if this is the case, the ending will be similar to the Beiyang Revolution, just like in "Ah Q", the county magistrate is still the county magistrate, and the head arrest is still the head arrest. Mrs. Zhao is still Mrs. Zhao, but with a different name.

[So, some secondary school novices who can only kill, kill, and hammer flat at every turn will not understand how many people are needed to establish a political power. 】

If they want to rule over the entire Ursas, they also need a reliable administrative organization, an intermediate structure that takes over from top to bottom, grass-roots governance departments, and an extremely large team including senior bureaucrats, middle-level management, and grass-roots technicians—this number It will not be less than 1000 million or more. Even TG is not really a bunch of mud legs. If you really want to talk about the average education level, TG's team is quite high.

If it is said that the training of skills can bring forth the new from the old, and if the literacy of illiteracy is slow, it will be much more difficult to guarantee the reliability and guarantee of ideology, unless Tallulah can conjure up thousands of solid political commissars within a few days Come.

Conquering the world is easy, but sitting in the world is far from as simple as some novices think. It seems that if a single sentence is really so simple, there will not be so many people who fail to achieve great achievements and die in the middle way, and there will not be so many subjugated countries. king.

As for the internal mountain tops, the corruption that will inevitably come with the increase in progress has not been mentioned yet. Some people always think that a political party or a country is the property of themselves or a few people. The people below are all NPCs, and they can always maintain Purity and loyalty can also conjure qualified grassroots management personnel out of nothing.

[China currently employs nearly 4000 million civil servants. In fact, there is still a perennial shortage of manpower at the grassroots level. The ratio of establishment staff to temporary workers is basically close to 1:20. In some departments with many affairs, there is still a shortage of manpower. The sand sculpture who disobeys and kills is better to save it—you are the lowest level of rogues]

Lao Xia is still very satisfied with this result, which means that his industry has been legalized in Ursas, and he can use this legal skin to do many things, such as blatantly purchasing minerals and materials instead of It needs to be transported from Longmen, which basically has no loss for him.

As for some people saying that this is Lao Xia or Lao Xia's forces joining or merging into Ursus, there is no such thing as strange rumors, no matter whether it is preparing to take the road of capitalism or simply doing it. Accumulating capital in business means one thing. He is not here to engage in colonial rule. If he is not engaged in colonial rule, he does not need the privilege of "extraterritoriality".

Without the privilege of "extraterritoriality", it goes without saying that you carry out local production activities, abide by the local national sovereignty, laws, and obtain the permission and protection of the local ruling structure. As for how the Star Alliance handles this, that is even more important. No side matter.

Although the ruling structure of Terra's country is old and the system is still in the backward feudal era, it does not mean that it is not a local legal regime, but a group of bandits. There is the one in Afghanistan recently. Wouldn’t China want to declare that they are all illegal regimes and that they are a group of pyramid schemes?

【I don’t even know how to make complaints about this example, but I also asked how to judge, how to judge?I suggest that the other party initiate administrative litigation and administrative complaints so that this prosecutor who doesn’t understand farts will be punished and go home to farm. Of course, based on my work experience, the most likely thing is that the court rejects the prosecution and refuses to accept such nonsensical cases. thing】

Therefore, this is just a very normal business investment cooperation. When investing in China with foreign companies, the local government will give policy protection and preferential treatment. Chinese companies will go to Africa to open farms, establish good relations with local chiefs, and provide certain nominal support and support. Aid, in exchange for mines, field development rights, and make it legal, not colonial plunder or illegal business.

It doesn't involve any weird issues like mergers or joining. If it means that Lao Xia joined Usas, then the penguins should be from Japan, and the ants should be from South Africa. PetroChina doesn't even know who it should be. After all, according to this statement, he is still from Sudan and Egypt.

If the Xia Group’s obtaining the imperial endorsement and royal cooperation in Ursas means joining Ursas, then wouldn’t he be joining Dayan now that he is engaged in urban development and cooperation with Longmen in Longmen, let alone having more direct and small relationships? The tiger's marriage, as a marriage spouse, is equivalent to automatically joining Victoria, which is more legal, so the last person cut three?

After all, in the matter of marriage, it can be said that the little tiger obtained the citizenship of the Star Alliance with Lao Xia, and it can also be said that Lao Xia automatically obtained the status of Victoria with the little tiger. As long as there is no clear regulation not to allow dual citizenship, theoretically he can hold all the above identities at the same time .

However, there is also the biggest problem, that is, the industrial level of Terra. It is a little difficult for the Star Alliance to be recognized as a civilized civilization rather than a primitive organization regime. Considering black technology, this should be a civilized human civilization. Civilizations, which could theoretically become members of the Federation, enjoy basic planetary sovereignty.

If black technology is not considered, this should be just a primitive civilization, which basically does not recognize its planetary sovereignty. The judgment of this has nothing to do with its administrative structure and political system, but only with the industrial capabilities of the target evaluated civilization.

According to the civilization division standard of the Star Alliance, races before industrialization are basically defined as intelligent wild animals, not even civilizations, and defined as primitive civilizations between industrialization and the information age, and from the information age to the space age. civilized.

The response standards they enjoy are different. Of course, the above are only limited to human races or a group of rare pro-human races. The above standards for non-human races are usually only related to the ammunition of what specifications the fleet carries, and basically do not involve politics and diplomacy. and economic problems.

After all, even in terms of objective biology, inter-species competition and intra-species competition are two different things. Intra-species competition is adjusted according to the basic morality and philosophy of human beings, while non-species...killing all is the biggest thing for a civilization. tribute.

The alliance structure of the Star Alliance is divided into two levels: council members and member states, which is almost equivalent to the difference in power and governance between a completely autonomous region and a regular province. The former has more independent powers and has greater power in the entire decision-making system. The proportion of discourse power, the latter is a country in name, but in fact it is close to the ruling authority of a modern provincial unit.
