The demolition was definitely a big deal, probably the most impactful thing that had ever happened to this once peaceful and peaceful place. Odis also had its glory days. Before Yaojing was discovered, Odis served as the gateway to protect the imperial capital from north to south. It was once the fiefdom of the marquis. At that time, transportation capacity was low and transportation was inconvenient, so Otis became a natural "channel" where businessmen gathered.
It was only later that Yaojing changed the world, so this once prosperous place was gradually forgotten and abandoned by people, leading to the situation today.
Dewell looked at the announcement on the wall. As he read, he gradually understood the so-called demolition.
The city council plans to turn the land in the city center, which was originally a park, into a park and farmland. Some old people who are old and have no children around them cannot go to the outskirts of the city to find a piece of land to work on, so they can only find it nearby. In fact, every household has some open space in front and behind the door. It is enough to grow some vegetables in these open spaces. It is absolutely not enough to grow enough wheat kernels to feed two or three people for a year.
So these old people set their sights on the park. They dug up the land in the park and turned it into farmland. There were some ornamental vegetation that had not been cared for, but they were all eradicated. Nowadays, saying that it is a park is just a verbal term. In everyone's mind, it is farmland.
This piece of land occupies the best location but it has not played any role. In the past, the city hall was built close to the station for convenience, but now the problem is not that convenience is not convenient, but that the city hall needs dignity. and dominance. There is no doubt that the center of the city is obviously the best place, so Dulin plans to arrange the city hall in the center of the city.
The more Dewell read, the more excited some elderly people became. It was obvious that if the park was demolished and that area was gone, many people would have to go further to grow wheat. This would be a problem for these elderly people. The elderly are an absolute disservice, how can the council take their land away? Some people begged Dwyer to continue reading, while some people couldn't help but leave. After looking at the last figures of the old people, Dwyer's eyes shifted to the notice again.
Scenes like this happen in many places. Compared with the cost and cost of rebuilding a new city, it is much more expensive to transform an old city. What Dulin currently lacks is time and accumulation, so he finally decided to try to transform the old city. Building the city hall is just the first step, and then he will build a real gold-selling cave belonging to Odis around the city hall.
As for the housing issue... Dulin thinks we can refer to the federal approach, which uses high-rise apartment buildings to arrange these residents, each of which occupies hundreds of square meters or more. Of course, some problems will inevitably arise during this process, but for the sake of the general direction and improving the happiness of all residents, necessary sacrifices are certain. Once a city is built, it will also have a positive effect on increasing local per capita income.
Look at the Imperial Capital. The per capita income is sixty or seventy yuan, while Tenel’s is only ten or twenty yuan. This is the gap.
No matter what, urban transformation is imperative.
The buzzing city finally seems to be waking up. People are discussing the new mayor's ideas and governance concepts. At the same time, some people feel the changes in Odis. At least there are outsiders who are willing to come here and even spend money. Bought some houses. This was unimaginable before, so the residents of Otis were divided into two groups. One group felt that the new mayor really wanted to change something, while the other group felt that the new mayor was recklessly destroying the tranquility of the city. , is something that shouldn’t be done.
Just when these people brought Dewell, who had inexplicably become an important figure in the "opposition", together for a discussion, Saili appeared in front of Dulin again.
"Mr. Mayor, this is a little thing that the boss asked me to bring. I hope you can accept it!" This time, Sally came to the city hall instead of looking for Thomson, but went directly to Dulin's door. She was carrying a lot of things. The last time she came here, her decisive handling was recognized by her superiors, and she was also encouraged and praised. This time, Saili was sent here not only to "pay taxes", but also to establish a relationship with Du Lin, and to test whether the tax could be operated.
She also added uneasily, "They are all specialties from my hometown, and they are not expensive. They can be seen everywhere." She had seen those officials from the new and old parties who stretched out their hands while covering up. So she didn't say what was inside.
Du Lin glanced at the beautifully packaged small box she placed on the table, stretched out his hand to grab it, but unexpectedly felt that the contents of the box were much heavier than he thought. He was stunned for a moment, then tore off the packaging while the corner of Saili's mouth twitched, and opened the lid of the box. There were ten small golden gold bars staggered together. No wonder it was much heavier than he imagined.
He pushed the box aside and looked at Saili, who was a little embarrassed. "Say hello to the leader of your organization for me. I like the hometown specialties he gave me very much. Tell me, what else do you want?"
Saili breathed a sigh of relief, but she was afraid that if Du Lin saw the things inside and refused to collect them, that would be real trouble. What made her feel a little embarrassed was that as soon as she said it was worthless, Du Lin opened the box, feeling a little uncomfortable. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she also realized how big Du Lin's appetite was. This ten-pound gold bar was worth a lot of money, but he actually accepted it like this? Isn't he at all afraid of the new party whip whipping him up the ass?
In fact, Saili didn't know the details of Du Lin. If she did, she would definitely think that this was an ordinary gift. Ten small one-pound gold bars are nothing, when he moved ten larger ones from the Imperial Bank of Tenel's vault!
With a flattering smile, she lowered her head slightly, "Mr. Mayor, I wonder... can this special tax be lowered?" Saili quickly explained her words, "I don't mean you The tax rate levied is too high. I just wonder if we can use other... well, what about the name?”
Saili's boss taught her the word "name". When her boss knew the whole process and read the authorization document, he realized that there were other tricks in it. As for whether your guess is right, you might as well arrange for Saili to try it. If Saili comes and asks, there may not be any changes, but if she doesn't ask, there will definitely be no changes.
The 50% special tax is like bloodletting. It is stable, but the income has also dropped sharply. It would be better if we can pay less.
Du Lin glanced at her and nodded, "Of course, but these are not enough!" He glanced at the box on the table, and Sally immediately understood that Du Lin thought they gave less.
Since there is a way to save some tax, it is worthwhile to spend a little more money. She immediately expressed her hope to get Du Lin's advice, but Du Lin did not answer her question, but asked her to tell her something behind her. The boss. If you want to get this done, you must come to Otis and talk to him in person. If you send a messenger to talk about this kind of thing, it is easy to send the wrong message and create contradictions.
Saili could only nod in agreement, then said a few words of compliments, then stood up and left. She must return to Namirinds as soon as possible to convey the matters here to the higher ups.
Dulin also has Dulin's considerations. The 50% gross profit tax does seem scary, but it is for legitimate industries. Just like those ordinary shops on the roadside, let alone levying 50% sales tax on them, even 5% may cause their income to drop sharply.
In particular, Du Lin knew the inside story of this industry and the profits of these people, so he could directly ask for the 50% special tax like Halston, and he was not afraid that these people would not pay.
He can lower the tax rate, but one thing is that the other party must meet his conditions. Building Otis cannot be completed by one or two people. It requires the joint efforts and dedication of many people.
In such noisy days, Du Lin finally waited for a group of people sent by Carter. The leader, Dulin, had met him in the church in District 5 of Ilian. His name was Haite, and he was a great young man. He is very motivated and passionate. He is always the first to attack the bootlegging market in Holmari City, so Carter here is giving him a lift by sending him here.
"You can solve your accommodation problem by yourself. To be honest, even I am sleeping in the office now." Dulin patted Haidt on the shoulder and looked at the other twenty or so young people. Whenever his eyes glanced at the faces of these young people, those young people could not help but stand up straight with their chests raised. They have personally participated in those battles, and have seen what Dulin promised. They regard Dulin as their mentor and leader, and this has nothing to do with age!
"In the next period of time, you may have to change your identity to appear in front of people..." He laughed, "Police, do you like this identity?"
A group of young men were immediately dumbfounded. If Du Lin had come up with any other identity, they might not have been sensitive to it, but only the identity of the policeman made them a little... shocked. They were once rule breakers, but in a blink of an eye they became rule defenders. This change of stance was indeed a bit surprising.
Haite was the first to react. He nodded vigorously, "Boss, don't worry, I can definitely do it well!"
I've been working on the game recently, and the plot has been slightly changed from my original design. I'm trying to straighten out the plot as soon as possible. I'm sorry. All things owed will be paid back as soon as possible. After all, the five big guys, as long as the plot goes smoothly, the code words are not just a joke.
