Chapter 1746 Swift’s Little Thoughts
The person I mentioned is Boss Rennes.
Being able to hide in the territory of the enemy Carter family for many years without being discovered, Boss Lane's methods and abilities are by no means ordinary.
If we can't find out the details of such people, we can only say that these people are too hidden and too dangerous.
I can tolerate greed, but not threats.
Greedy is like a wolf. Although it is ferocious, as long as it is fed well, it can become the most loyal eagle dog under your hands.
The threat is like a venomous snake. You can't figure out what it wants. One moment you may be fine, but the next moment it will bite you and you will suffer for a long time even if you don't die.
This night, I slept very little and thought a lot.
After breakfast, Jin Siqi quickly went to the guild, while I went to the restaurant under my own name.
To this day, I have a total of four properties in Dasay City, one of which is this multi-national restaurant, the second is the cafe in Balan City, the third is the jewelry store in Balan City, and the fourth is It is the underground fighting arena of Balan City.
Not long ago, under the operation of Swift, one-third of the jewelry store owners in Balan City expressed their willingness to contribute their own jewelry stores as branches of my jewelry store.
This behavior surprised me.
When asked about Swift, he said: "Many of these bosses have engaged in tax evasion. They did not inspect the stores and confiscated the land deeds. This is considered a mercy. Letting them join your jewelry store is simply a huge favor. Who dares not to obey?" "
Hearing this, I chuckled.
Taxation is the foundation of a country.
Although Dashai City's attitude towards commercial taxes is not strict, it never takes it lightly. Anyone found to have serious tax evasion will basically be killed.
It's just that the government and businessmen are of the same mind. Most of the time, after businessmen seek huge profits, the taxes they miss will flow into the pockets of the local nobles or the city lords of the country.
If the city lord is satisfied and the nobles are satisfied, the lives of these merchants will calm down and be nourished.
In daily tax collection, as long as it is justified on the surface, who would have trouble with these moneybags?
Only a fool would do this to cut off his own financial resources.
This is the unspoken rule of human relations in Zefeng Continent, and even the Beastman King is well aware of it.
As long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the fundamentals are not affected, the Orc King will not bother with the little money.
The monarch acquiesced, and the matter was settled.
Speaking of which, Swift did not miss the benefits of receiving red envelopes from these vendors, but now he is using this matter as an excuse to force them to become my property and make money for me. This is a bit unethical.
So I asked him: "If you do this, are you not afraid of those people scolding you for crossing the river and burning the bridge?"
"How can that be impossible?" Swift said with a chuckle, "It's not too late for them to be happy."
"Happy?" I shook my head in confusion: "The money is mine, and they will earn less. How can they still be happy?"
"I must be happy!" Swift explained: "It turns out that everyone is eating food that will kill their heads. Once the boss comes to check the accounts, everyone is frightened. They can't eat or sleep peacefully for fear of something happening. Although they are making money now It’s a little less, but at least I sleep peacefully and eat sweetly.”
"This is not in line with the interests of businessmen," I said, "after all, businessmen are greedy guys."
"What you're saying is," Swift suddenly said seriously: "But think about it, why do they work so hard to make money? Is it not just to support their families and have fun with their spare money? But these two things It's easy to say, but it's extremely difficult to do. Without background, who can allow them to take so much money? So in order to meet these two purposes, they have to do some crazy things."
He changed the topic and said: "But it's different now. You are the prime minister. One person is subordinate to ten thousand people. Who dares to get involved in your industry? It's not like an old man hanging himself. He thinks his life is too long, so when he heard that he had the opportunity to join When you started the business, nearly two-thirds of the jewelry store owners in the city flocked to your jewelry store and took the initiative to apply for a job. The scene was really shocking and brain-breaking!"
"But in the end, wasn't it true that only one-third of the jewelry stores were selected?" I asked, "What about the other one-third?"
"Eliminated" Swift said: "Some jewelry store owners just want to find a shelter to protect themselves, and have no intention of sincerely treating you. Such people naturally need to be eliminated. Some jewelry store owners have little money but are ambitious. , let alone such a guy, it will affect your industry, as for those mediocre people, we are the most preferred choice."
Hearing what he said, I was very happy: "Do you think this is picking your partner?"
Swift said seriously: "Business is no different from marriage. You have met my wife. What do you think of my wife?"
"He's a good man," I said perfunctorily.
"You just like to say nice things. I am self-aware. My wife is mean-looking, pays special attention to appearance and reputation, and likes luxury. Anyone who meets her will think that she is not a good woman. But you just said that she is a good person. , yes, this is her inner self, her essence, and it is also what I am most optimistic about. It is precisely because of having such a wife that I will not make mistakes. "
What he said was very reasonable, and I had to believe it.
Nodding, I asked him again: "Do you have an agenda for working so hard for me? But it doesn't matter."
Swift's face turned red, he rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "You are really aware of everything. Now that you have discovered it, let me tell you straight away. In fact, the expenses have been a bit high recently, and my property is in short supply, so I also I hope to join your jewelry store, as long as you eat the rest."
After listening to what he said, I said there was no problem at all.
After that, I asked him why his recent expenses were so huge. After all, I generally knew Swift’s income. Even among the nobility, he was a wealthy household.
Swift didn't hide it, she just said it a little coyly.
The reason is that his son is addicted to gambling, and the more he gambles, the more he gambles, spending all his savings in recent years.
Seeing his gloomy expression, I comforted him a little and warned him that if possible, it would be best to imprison his gambling-addicted son, or find other things for him to do, or cut him off, since you are not the only one to do it anyway. With such a son, it is as if he had never been born. In short, you must give up gambling, otherwise, your huge family fortune will be completely ruined sooner or later.
Swift's face was heavy and he said nothing, but from his gloomy face I was sure that his son was going to be in trouble.
Putting aside his affairs, let’s talk about my other three properties.
The jewelry store with the help of noble people will naturally grow very quickly, but the underground fighting arena without the help of noble people will also grow unknowingly to the point that surprises me.
