Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

In the frozen atmosphere in the room, Robert looked at Lauren carefully, and said with a bitter face.

I have never met Lord Laurent before. The Jasmine Chamber of Commerce is a small business, and its revenue has been in a state of loss for the past few years. I don't know what advice you can give to a god-like figure like you...

Lauren looked at Laurent, who was smiling apologetically, with playful eyes.

The essence of business is the exchange of resources, and the object of the transaction can be goods, labor, or influence, or even power.

He has no goods, labor, or influence in his hands, but he has the identity of a descendant of the Bauhinia family.

This is the most expensive commodity.

The exchange of power and interests has been an eternal rule since ancient times.

There are never exceptions.

Lauren didn't respond directly to the other party, but changed the subject, Robert, do you know the Lord of Expansion?

Robert's eyes were fixed, and he said with a bit of surprise.

Lord Lauren, have you become the Lord of Expansion?

The descendants of the Bauhinia family, is it better to inherit something casually than to become a lord in the endless wasteland who faces the siege of bloody polluters every month?

That's a life that can be lost at any time...

Luo Lun smiled, Our ancestors have made great achievements, so what face do I have to hide in the capital and rely on the glory of my ancestors to survive?

The harshness of these words made Fianna, who had been silent all this time, move her eyes, but when she thought about what he had done during this period, she was too lazy to think about it.

You are worthy of being a descendant of the Bauhinia family. This kind of heart is admirable.

Regardless of what Robert was thinking in his heart, the expression on his face was extremely serious, as if he really believed it.

After speaking, the voice changed.

My lord Lauren, I admire you the most, a nobleman like you who enjoys inexhaustible wealth but is willing to work hard alone.

Although the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce has been losing money year after year, it doesn't have much resources.

But if there is anything you need to ask us to do, as long as we can do it, we will definitely do our best...

Compared with the first temptation, Robert's second temptation seemed very straightforward.

Lauren was amused, but his eyes became serious.

Raising his head slightly, he looked down at Robert in a standard aristocratic posture.

There's no need to test me like this, Robert, how much is the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce worth? It's not enough for me to look at it.

This was blunt, but it made Robert feel a little relieved.

The descendants of the Bauhinia family are so honorable, and they really don't have any thoughts about the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce.

Then what is the purpose of the other party coming?

Robert became more and more puzzled.

Lauren looked directly at this old river and lake that seemed harmless to humans and animals but had experienced strong winds and waves.

I came today to reward you with a great opportunity.

The corner of Robert's mouth twitched. Is it my turn to have such a good thing? But it was not good to brush off Lauren's face, and said with a dry smile.

Master Luo Lun, I'm afraid we can't bear your attention. The Jasmine Chamber of Commerce has been losing money for three consecutive years, and there is really no spare capacity...

Luo Lun ignored the complaints of the old Jianghu, and the chamber of commerce who can hang out in Decker City, a big border city, who is not a veteran who is good at calculating, has long been eliminated.

His deep eyes were fixed on Robert. Although his tone was calm, the content contained endless temptation.

Robert, I plan to form an alliance of chambers of commerce in Decker City managed by the Bauhinia family.

And all chambers of commerce participating in the chamber of commerce alliance will have the privilege of being named under the name of the Bauhinia family.

I don't want the shares of the members of the chamber of commerce, I only need the members to pay an annual joining fee of 5 million...

you should know

The trade income tax of the Grand Duke only needs to pay the normal 10%, and once you are sheltered by the Bauhinia family, you don't need to pay any nobles for shelter!

boom~

Shocked.

Everyone in the room widened their eyes and looked at Lauren in disbelief.

Him, what did he say? ! !

To form a chamber of commerce alliance, can the chamber of commerce be listed under the name of the Bauhinia family? ! !

The Silver Moon Kingdom stipulates that nobles can reduce or exempt commercial tax according to their titles. Dukes and uncles only need to pay 10% of the normal commercial tax, marquises pay 30%, earls pay 50%, and viscounts and barons pay 70%.

And Silvermoon Kingdom's commercial tax is very heavy, as much as 20% for ordinary goods, and some profiteering industries - such as slave trade tax is as high as 60%.

If the chamber of commerce can be listed under the name of the Bauhinia family, then normal goods only need to pay 2% tax, and profiteering industries only need to pay 6%... This temptation, who can resist it.

It is nonsense for Robert to say that the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce is losing money, but it is true that he has to pay heavy taxes every year.

And in addition to taxes and fees, he also had to pay a large sum of money to the nobles to seek asylum, so he earned a lot, but there was not much left.

Once she is really protected by the Bauhinia family, then why the hell should she turn over and become the master immediately?

As long as he is not exploited by others and pays less taxes, Robert is absolutely confident that he will be able to expand the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce tenfold in just three years! !

His eyes were almost red with excitement.

Looking nervously at Lauren Road.

Master Luo Lun, are you kidding us? You only need to pay the membership fee of 5 million puke every year? Can you hang the chamber of commerce under the name of the Bauhinia family without our shares?

Although 5 million general customers are quite a lot, in the past even nobles like the Bauhinia family would ignore them even if there were 50 million or even 500 million.

Although the high-ranking nobles have certain tax-free rights, the king also promulgated laws to limit the scale, and it is impossible for the nobles to expand without limit.

So most nobles have their own chambers of commerce. Isn't it good to eat alone? Why share it with outsiders?

On weekdays, ordinary barons and viscounts have a large number of chambers of commerce rushing to register, let alone under the name of the grand duke's family. This is not a concept at all.

Lauren nodded lightly.

That's right.

Master Luo Lun, you, why don't you seek cooperation from those big chambers of commerce?

Although Lauren asked for 5 million, Robert knew that the price was totally worth it, and if Lauren sold the place to the Big Chamber of Commerce, he would get more.

For a moment, I still couldn't believe that the pie would fall on my head.
