Flower Fairy's Tribulation

Jiang Youyou asked: "So it's you who stepped forward to calm the incident and restore peace to Lusheng City?"

Shi Yan said: "I dare not take credit, but I did contribute. The business community of Green Sheng City has great opinions on excessive taxes. They have petitioned the city government through many channels for tax reduction, but the city government flatly rejected it. Even Green Sheng City There are three other well-known wealthy businessmen in the city: Qin Heng from the real estate industry, Jia Yi from the commerce and trade industry, and Nong Shibo from the grain and oil industry. The four of us teamed up to go to Su Hui to petition, but they were soft-spoken and he ignored them. We had no choice but to ignore them. , and then a closed-door strike broke out in the business community.”

"The business community has closed its doors and the Lusheng City Government has completely lost its source of tax revenue. They cannot accept this situation, but they can't do anything about the people? If people don't want to do business, they can't force them to use knives or robbery, right?"

"A few days later, the Lusheng City Government sent people to negotiate with us to resume normal business, but they were unwilling to make too many concessions on the tax rate. The other three richest people felt that the government was not sincere and did not want to have too much contact with them."

"Su Hui and Lord Wan had no choice but to come to me in person and entrust me to mediate and make peace, so I put forward the conditions that I recognized: first, cancel the 5% war tax, and second, reduce the 15% ordinary tax Reduce it to 10%, which is in line with the period when the Jiang family was in power, leaving the business community with a profit margin to support their families. Only when it is profitable will people be willing to do business, so that the Green Sheng City business community will no longer have a reason to close their doors!"

Lin Chenzhong said: "They agreed?"

Shi Yan said: "It's not that easy. They didn't agree at first and were only willing to make a few concessions. Then I couldn't communicate with others. Later, the closed-door strike lasted for several more days. Su Hui and Wan Jueye couldn't sit still. They came to me again and agreed to abolish the war tax, but refused to reduce the 15% ordinary tax."

"I said that ordinary taxes are 50% higher than when the Jiang family was in power. In the long run, businessmen will not be able to accept it. Gradually, people will go to places with low tax rates to do business. How can there be commercial prosperity in Lusheng City? So it must be Lower it, otherwise I won’t be able to communicate with other colleagues.”

"Later Wan Jueye and Su Hui agreed that the 15% tax rate would be gradually reduced to 1% within five years at a rate of 5% per year, giving the government a buffer space. In about five or six years, if the society is no longer unrest, business will gradually recover. , the total tax revenue can be roughly equalized, and I thought it was a feasible approach, so I shamelessly summoned business celebrities to discuss the matter. Later, everyone agreed, and the closed-door strike incident gradually ended, and the business prosperity of Green Sheng City returned."

Shi Yan looked proud, apparently very satisfied with his role in it.

The three people gave him a thumbs up, and Jiang Youyou said: "Social unrest is a taboo in the country, and it harms the country and the people. You have made great contributions in communicating with all parties and calming down disputes. The fifth prince and Lord Wan respect you very much." It just makes sense.”

Shi Yan said: "I dare not take it! It's just that I am thick-skinned and everyone should give me some face! Because of the excessive taxes and the closed-door strike incident, the other three rich people were very dissatisfied with the city government, so the charity promoted by the city government They all refused to participate in the fund-raising auction, and I was the only one who wanted to show off to the city government and join in the fun..."

Shi Yan shook his head and sighed: "The policies are not in line with the times, and people's hearts have been scattered... It is difficult to unite them again..."
