Don't miss it before it's too late!
Bujo quickly rushed towards the guy closest to him, who was robbing bacon from the counter of a delicatessen shop. He shouted loudly to stop the guy's robbery, but the guy was indifferent. He kept stuffing rolls of wrapped bacon into his pockets without even taking a moment to look at Bujo. Everyone was already going crazy. Buqiao gritted his teeth and punched the guy in the face. The guy covered his pocket with a ferocious expression and looked back at Buqiao. The madness in his eyes had receded a lot. He knew Buqiao, so he knew he was a big shot. With a sly smile on his face, he clapped his hands, took two steps back and ran into the alley on the side.
Some people noticed Buqiao's arrival and the madness in their minds dissipated a lot, but there were also some people who didn't care what Buqiao was and continued to smash and plunder crazily. Just like some people shouted just now, the law will not impose any judgment on these people, and they are even more devoted to this rare carnival.
At this time, Buqiao found a man in the distance grabbing a crying woman by her hair, beating her on the head, and dragging her into the alley. There is no doubt that any man knows what he is going to do. Bujo shouted and rushed towards the man. He must stop this commotion. This is not only related to his fate.
At this moment, a gunshot rang out!
The man who planned to rape the woman shook his head, blood spilled into the air, his whole body shook violently, and he collapsed. ,
The woman squatted on the ground holding her head and cried hysterically. The entire city center fell silent at this moment. But the next second, a young man threw an incendiary bomb at the soldiers who suddenly appeared. At the same time, some young people picked up stones or other objects on the roadside and threw them at the soldiers.
Not only Buqiao was dumbfounded, but also the soldiers were dumbfounded. This was the first time, really the first time I heard that there were actually people who resisted during the suppression.
A voice roared at the top of his lungs, "Kill them, otherwise we will all die!"
I don’t know where this voice came from, but many of the pockets contained other people’s property, and there was blood on the sticks or other things in their hands. The red-eyed workers all realized that this was definitely not a parade, this was It's a riot, so the army is here to suppress them. For a moment they felt like they had been cheated. Those things that they were familiar with and became topics of conversation after work were about to happen to them. When they thought that they might be caught and shot, these already crazy people became even more crazy.
Countless things were thrown at the soldiers in an instant, and after almost a moment of dead silence, intensive gunshots rang out.
"Cheers!" Du Lin raised his head with a confident smile. The sound of gunshots outside the window continued to echo in the city. Although it was very faint when it reached here, everyone could hear that it was a gun. Voice. Looking at Du Lin at this time, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the backs of some businessmen. They suppressed the throbbing in their hearts and raised their wine glasses to cater to Du Lin.
Dulin took a sip, walked to the window, closed it, turned around and shrugged, "It's too noisy outside, let's continue the topic. I have already discussed some issues about the Special Zone with Mr. Magers face to face. Regarding the construction issue, Leader Magers agreed that I would try some rules that cannot be seen elsewhere, such as casinos. My plan is to issue seven licenses. Those with licenses can open a casino with no limit on the area and no small scale. , there is no limit to the amount of bets, but there is one thing..."
He raised a finger and looked at these businessmen with extremely bright eyes, "The city hall will set up an accounting office and go to all casinos to register all the incoming and outgoing accounts."
"Mr. Mayor, I have a question, what is the tax rate for casinos?" Alexander stood out in the crowd with his huge belly. His belly was so exaggerated that there were two less people standing in front of him.
This time Alexander not only bought a piece of land here, but also built two hotels. The initial plan is a 22-story landmark luxury hotel, specially used to receive important tourists. You don’t have to be rich to live in it. Yes, you also need to have corresponding status and identity. There is also a 19-story high-end hotel where anyone with money can stay. The total investment is more than 28 million. The reason why he dares to play so big and has the capital to play so big is because he mortgaged the land he bought to the Imperial Central Bank and also borrowed money from Ilian. A lot of investment has been made.
The Imperial Bank of Otis finally survived the cold winter. When spring came, as low prices continued to rise, the president was said to have fainted in tears in the office twice - he had failed to recover the cost of the former real estate developers in his hands. , the land mortgaged to the bank was sold cheaply. The headquarters of the Imperial Bank first praised him for being able to recover some squeezed funds for the bank, then reprimanded him and deducted his bonus for this year, which was about 3,000 yuan.
Fortunately, he still has some real estate in his hands, and he is unwilling to sell it now. No matter how high the price offered by the inquirer, he is still unwilling to sell!
When Alexander mortgaged his land to the Imperial Central Bank, the governor almost fell asleep and woke up laughing. He prayed every day, hoping that Alexander would not be able to pay back the money, so that he could make a contribution to the central bank and maybe be allocated a piece of land. Big bonuses.
This is indeed a problem. Fortunately, Du Lin has already had a comprehensive plan. "Seventy-five percent of the casino's operating income will be included in the scope of tax collection. For every additional 30 million operating income, an additional two points, with a maximum limit of 85 percent.”
After Du Lin finished speaking, everyone took a breath. Originally, a 50% special tax—that is, a smuggling tax—was levied. Everyone felt that Du Lin's heart was really dark and his appetite was really big, but It seems that they still underestimated Dulin's greed. Eighty-five percent cap tax? Are you kidding me? Has the Imperial Tax Administration ever approved such a high tax
But many people are thinking about it again. If they can earn 10 million a month, even if they pay 7.5 million in taxes, they still have 2.5 million to earn!
Most of these businessmen have been to the Federation and have also been to some casinos there. They know that casinos are really a hugely profitable industry. This seems to be completely possible!
Alexander seemed stupid. After all, fat people looked either stupid or bad. His huge belly prevented him from being bad, so he could only be stupid. He licked his lips as if he was seeing a peerless delicacy and asked: "Mr. Mayor, how do I get the license? Do I still need to bid?"
Du Lin held an auction worth 200 million in the imperial capital a few days ago, which shocked the entire empire's business circles. Many people believed that this auction should be recorded in textbooks and become a classic case of "collective monopoly." Du Lin still controls this field, and at the same time, he made an astonishing return of 200 million without losing his control and initiative in this field. This is a completely new "fraud model."
Of course, this fraud model is only effective for industry trusts, because only they can afford to play such a game. As for the participants, I am afraid they are also willing to be deceived. As long as they get the tickets, no matter how much money they spend, it is worth it.
Therefore, many people thought that Dulin would continue to use that model to let them go shopping. However, what everyone did not expect was that Dulin adopted another method to raise shareholders.
Each shareholder of each of the seven major casinos is not allowed to hold more than 5% of the shares. After owning the equity of one casino, he is not allowed to subscribe for the equity of another casino. This means that a casino will have 20 complete powers. The same shareholders, which makes the capitalists in this room a little confused.
Why should a hugely profitable business that can be enjoyed by one or two people be spread to the majority of people
This is actually Dulin's preparation for the future. If the equity of the casino is owned by a certain person, once some "accident" occurs to this person, the ruling party will most likely take back the casino and turn it into an official self-operated operation. This was exactly what Dulin didn't want to see. Yes, from the perspective of politicians, these casinos can make more profits if they are operated by the government than if they are operated by capitalists, but this is not conducive to the development environment of Otis City.
Once the Otis City Hall has too much money and resources in its hands, it means that future successors will have the power and ability to reshuffle the rules and forces of the entire city. Dulin does not want to see this happen. , Odis City is a gold-swallowing machine he built for himself. He cannot leave such great conveniences to latecomers, so he wants to turn the casino into a network of cross-shareholdings by multiple people, an inextricable network. net.
Each casino has twenty shareholders, and each shareholder needs to exchange certain shares with shareholders of other casinos. This means that a casino may involve forty or even eighty shareholders.
Want to change the flag? Only forty of the eighty shareholders must be secured first, and another sixty or more shareholders of other casinos must be secured before the operating rights of a casino can be taken back.
It's a knot that cannot be untied, and Dooling is convinced that not many shareholders are willing to betray the casino's position.
As he spoke, more violent gunshots were heard outside the window, and people's cries could still be vaguely heard. Dulin walked to the window with a wine glass in his hand. The defeated parade fled back from the direction of the city center. These people with frightened faces People rushed to flee further away, not daring to stay for a moment.
Some people also planned to break into the city hall, but they were repelled by Haite. He looked indifferently at a gray-faced guy in a suit among the dispersing crowd, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
