Chapter 2479 Joint Pressure

The merchants in Hongmeng City also hope that Hongmeng City will be strong. Because the city is strong, the number of ascetics entering the city will increase accordingly, which will allow them to make a lot of money.

But for these merchants to have a strong sense of belonging to Hongmeng City, it would be difficult for someone to force them. It is impossible for them to build Hongmeng City together with Jing Yan. It can be said that even if Hongmeng City is destroyed, as long as they can keep their own interests, then they absolutely don't care.

Therefore, when the tax policy was made public, businessmen were dissatisfied.

Nie Quan is the shopkeeper of Biyan Baoguang. Biyan Baoguang is a large-scale shop in Hongmeng City. Grass and some items with special effects.

And behind the Biyan Treasure Tower, there is a relatively powerful force. Although this force is not as powerful as the superpower, it is still the best among the first-class forces. Even compared with the traditional superpowers, they can still break their wrists. To put it simply, even if you confront some superpowers head-on, you won't lose too badly.

This faction, named Biyan Shanghe, is an alliance of chambers of commerce formed by a number of chambers of commerce.

This Biyan business cooperation is also in Kunling Tiantian Domain, and it is considered to be very promising to be among the superpowers.

Jing Yan also knew about the fact that Hongmeng City could have a Biyan commercial organization to settle in, and he welcomed it very much. Because Biyan Merchant Cooperation has a strong influence, its entry can drive many small forces to also settle in Hongmeng City, which can bring a very good positive effect to the prosperity of Hongmeng City.

Nie Quan is the treasurer of the Biyan Treasure Building in Hongmeng City. His own realm of Taoism is the early stage of Xianzun. Nie Quan is a member of the management team within Biyan Commercial Cooperation. The senior executives of Biyan Commercial Cooperation let Nie Quan come to work in Hongmeng City precisely because they believed in Nie Quan's ability and strength. After all, Hongmeng City is a relatively special city, a city that may be destroyed at any time, so it is also for insurance to let a strong immortal like Nie Quan sit in Hongmeng City's industry.

At this time, on the top floor of Biyanbao Building, Nie Quan and several subordinates were discussing together.

The Biyan Treasure Building has a total of five floors. Nie Quan personally purchased this building from the Hongmeng City Industrial Management Office.

"They are crazy!" a deep voice said.

"Tax collection? I'm really out of my mind!"

"Why collect taxes? It's not an exaggeration to describe this city as precarious. Even if there is no tax, I'm afraid it won't attract many businessmen. If you still collect taxes now, isn't it driving people away?"

"Then what does City Lord Jing Yan think?"

Several people in the room were talking in very dissatisfied tones.

"It's useless for us to talk about this now. Hongmeng City must collect this tax. What we need to consider now is how to avoid paying taxes." Nie Quan looked around at everyone in the room.

These people looked at each other.

"Boss, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist the tax. The strength of the city lord Jing Yan..." one person said in a low voice.

The strength of the city lord Jing Yan is extremely strong. If he resists the tax, the city lord will probably not show mercy just because they belong to Biyan Shanghe. If City Lord Jing Yan was so talkative, he wouldn't be against so many powerful forces.

It is conceivable that if they do not pay taxes in accordance with the city's laws, the Lord Jing Yan will very likely take a knife against such a representative force like them.

"Yeah! That's why I called you all over to discuss and see if there is a good countermeasure." Nie Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were a little cold.

"Boss, in fact, this matter can also be operated." A thin man said with a flash in his eyes.

"Oh? How do you do it?" Nie Quan looked at the man and asked.

"And we, Biyan Shanghe, are almost the most powerful forces stationed in Hongmeng City. If we secretly collude, it should not be difficult to contact a group of merchants to advance and retreat with us. At that time, we only need to put pressure on Hongmeng City together , What will happen to the City Lord's Mansion? I don't think City Lord Jing Yan would want to see Hongmeng City fall into chaos, would he?"

"This Hongmeng City,

At present, various facilities and institutions are not perfect, and the city can be said to be relatively fragile. As long as the Lord Jing Yan is not stupid, he must have some scruples, right? "The skinny man talked eloquently.

Nie Quan narrowed his eyes with a smile on his face.

"Very well said! So...all of you, is there a better way?" Nie Quan looked at the others again.

No one spoke again.

Indeed, the solution proposed by the thin man is feasible. Because they secretly contacted other merchants or forces, they would do so before the tax payment date, so it would not be considered an open confrontation with the city lord Jingyan of Hongmeng City. That city lord Jing Yan couldn't be overbearing enough to directly attack them, and they didn't resist the tax openly.

"Since there is no better way, let's do it this way. Now, you should each contact merchants and forces with certain influence in the city. When the time is almost up, I will come forward to negotiate terms with the City Lord's Mansion." Nie Quan said with a smile.

The people in the room left quickly and began to get busy, contacting many businessmen and power organizations in private.

The actions of Biyan Baolou cannot be hidden from Jing Yan. As soon as they took action, Director Ru Li reported the matter directly to Jing Yan. If you can't even notice that Biyanbaolou is doing things under your nose, then Ruli, the supervisor in charge of intelligence work, is too unqualified.

"Don't interfere, I want to see how many people will jump out to fight against Hongmeng City." After Supervisor Ruli reported, Jing Yan simply said this.

After a few days!

Hongmeng City started to expand outwards with the inner city as the center.

New buildings sprang up quickly.

In the city, businessmen's discussion about taxation has also intensified. Some businessmen became bolder and began to criticize Hongmeng City's tax policy in public.

Regarding these, the city lord's mansion still didn't respond, as if they didn't know.

After a lot of hard work, Biyan Baolou has achieved very good results. They have attracted a large group of influential businessmen and power organizations. After everyone sat together to discuss, led by Nie Quan, the big shopkeeper of Biyan Baolou, they put pressure on the City Lord's Mansion. Nie Quan, with several business representatives, arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion did not reject them. Although Jing Yan did not meet them in person, the chief executive Bai Han also met them.

Bai Han asked people to invite Nie Quan and others to the spacious living room.

"Treasurer Nie Quan, and fellow Taoists, I don't know what's the matter with you coming here today?" Bai Han asked with a smile.

With Nie Quan's identity and background, he has great influence in Hongmeng City. As the head of the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Han naturally knew Nie Quan.
