"You scared my wife!" Jackson hugged his wife's shoulders tightly and looked at Dulin who was sitting at the dining table with a fierce look in his eyes. No one wanted to be rudely disturbed at such a time, and here It's still his home.
Du Lin heard this and glanced at Jackson's wife, and also saw the hand held tightly by Jackson trembling slightly. Du Lin bowed and said, "I'm very sorry, ma'am, I showed up here in an unfriendly way. I Apologize for my behavior!" He smiled at Jackson's wife, "This is just a very ordinary meeting, and there won't be any conflicts or conflicts between me and Mr. Jackson. By the way, if you can add one more thing to me. Side tableware?”
Jackson was surprised that Dulin actually apologized to his wife. He recognized the bastard as soon as Dulin sat down. It's not strange to know Du Lin. The strange thing is not to recognize Du Lin. This guy often appears in newspapers. He is young, rich and has a high status. This makes it impossible for people who see him and know him not to recognize him. Keep in mind. But he apologized, which seemed different from the rumored arrogance and domineering Dulin. It was said that he was a very rough guy, and there was never an apology in the dictionary.
I don’t know where a rumor spread. It is said that one time Du Lin had a gun pointed at his head. Not only did he not flinch, but he also let the person shoot. No need to go on about the result, Du Lin appeared alive and kicking. Being in front of people speaks volumes.
Jackson patted the back of his wife's hand and said to her gently, "Please add some tableware for Mr. Dulin. It looks like we have to keep him here to eat."
Jackson calmed down quickly after he came back to his senses. He didn't believe that someone like Du Lin would come to his house and do anything to him, let alone hurt him, because Du Lin was not that stupid. The reason why he did this was simply to give himself a short period of psychological fear and shock himself. Mr. Jackson, who recognized this, soon felt relieved. While his wife was getting the tableware, he asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I stopped by to visit you and talk about other things. You know I just came back today and heard that some people were doing it secretly behind my back..." Dulin closed his mouth. Jackson's wife came back. Soon, she placed a gold-rimmed dinner plate in front of Du Lin, and set out silver knives and forks for him. Dulin said thank you, and then continued, "I prefer direct competition. Tricks like this that secretly attack me behind my back are annoying to me, Mr. Jackson."
"I think it is necessary for me to have a deeper understanding of what this group of people said secretly and how they plan to deal with me, a law-abiding citizen of the empire." After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Okay, what are you doing? After dinner, I felt very hungry after seeing such a sumptuous dinner, but I didn’t eat anything when I went out.”
He took the lead in picking up the knife and fork and tore apart a roast chicken on the table. Mr. Jackson glanced at his wife helplessly, and the two of them also picked up the knife and fork and started eating. Du Lin was very satisfied with the meal. There is a saying that is very good. Many people will have this feeling when the dishes on other people's tables are fragrant. It seems that the dishes made by others are more delicious than their own. At least Du Lin thought the dishes on this table were very delicious and had a very warm taste.
After eating and drinking, Mr. Jackson invited Dulin to the study room on the second floor and asked his wife to bring a pot of coffee. They might need to chat for a while.
After Dulin simply washed his face and hands, he sat on a chair. There was no sofa in Mr. Jackson's study, only a few chairs and footrests. Dulin found one and sat on it. He felt pretty good. After a while, Jackson's wife came in with a coffee pot and two coffee cups, and got a cup for each of them. Du Lin stood up, took the coffee tray, put it under his nose and asked, then put it on the small round table aside, "It smells very good. Thank you very much for your hospitality, madam."
After the meal, Jackson's wife no longer had any fear of Du Lin, and a smile appeared on her face. She even thought Du Lin was a very nice young man. Young, good-looking, very capable and very knowledgeable. Apart from the small unpleasantness at the beginning, Dulin's funny conversation and wise performance at the dinner table made Jackson's wife see a person similar to the one in the rumors. Du Lin, who was completely different, also liked the young man a little.
In Mrs. Jackson's view, a child wanders alone far away from home, surrounded by predators who eat people but don't spit out bones. If he didn't show toughness, he would have been swallowed up by others, and not even the dregs would be left. She forgave Du Lin, then put away the tray and left with a smile, "Let's talk..."
Looking at his wife Jackson who left the study without forgetting to close the door, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. The most successful speculation in his life was to marry his wife, and he was proud of it.
Du Lin took a sip of the coffee, praised the taste, and continued the previous topic, "I want to know what you have been talking about all morning."
Jackson first stared at Du Lin, then lowered his head and looked at the coffee in his hand, "Why do you think I would say that?"
Du Lin laughed twice and gave an answer that Jackson had never thought of, "Because I am a good person!" When Jackson was shocked that Du Lin's thick skin was simply appalling, Du Lin added, " No joke, because you are the weakest among that group of people and the one who needs the most help. Mr. Jackson, I know most of the things you have done before. I know you as a person and your family. So I know that you need help, and I can provide you with the help you need." At this point, Dulin paused, "It just so happens that I need help too, and you are the one who can help me."
There seemed to be an elf hiding in the coffee in front of Mr. Jackson. He slowly stirred the coffee with a spoon. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Dulin, "What do you want to know?"
Du Lin crossed his legs, clasped his hands on his legs, smiled elegantly and politely, "All of them!"
In fact, Mr. Jackson also faces some complex problems. If these problems are not handled well, they will become a trouble. As the tobacco industry has entered a period of huge profits in the past two years, the Imperial Tax Administration has submitted a new proposal requesting an increase in the starting point and tax collection rate for 19 other products or industries in the tobacco industry. It has now entered the Regarding the public consultation and hearing procedures, it is reported that the tax reform will be completed no later than the end of this year, in which the tobacco industry tax will be directly increased from the past 15% to 55%.
The reason why the State Administration of Taxation made such a request was because the Federation, in order to avoid the return of tariff power to the Empire and the return of bilateral trade tariffs to normal, caused a wave of bankruptcies of a large number of companies that relied on dumping goods to the Empire, so it began to limit some Tariffs return to normal. This resulted in fewer and fewer federal cigarettes in the empire. As the empire's economy recovered and improved, a large number of rural people began to gather in the cities, and the demand for cigarettes began to skyrocket.
In the past, many tobacco companies went bankrupt due to federal cigarette dumping. At this time, there were not many tobacco companies left in the empire. This small group of tobacco companies controls the entire empire's tobacco market. They have made too much profit. After the money is withdrawn from circulation, if these tobacco companies cannot continue to expand their business areas, add more jobs, and Investing this money back into the economic circulation system is definitely not good news for the empire's economic system.
Money is only money when it is circulated. If it is not circulated, it is waste paper and will destroy the economic construction of the empire.
To this end, the State Administration of Taxation has submitted nineteen tax reforms for goods and industries, which have been supported by the cabinet and are likely to be implemented soon. Once implemented, the first thing Mr. Jackson will face is a plunge in income, but his expenses have not been reduced accordingly, and may even increase as a result. Then he must find new sources of wealth to improve his ability to resist risks, and investing in garment factories in the south is one of them.
People often see thieves eating meat, but do not notice that thieves are beaten. Now everyone is touting the benefits and benefits of the real economy. Of course, they are not wrong. The real economy does have a very significant positive effect on society. More jobs can more effectively help stabilize the mood of the lower class and proletariat in society, and large amounts of tax payments also bring benefits to the economic construction of the empire.
However, not everyone can make money by investing in the real economy. Some people also lose money, but these people are subconsciously ignored.
Mr. Jackson's garment factory is currently operating at a loss. There are more than 1,700 workers in the two garment factories. The wages of the working class in the South are much higher than elsewhere, reaching a minimum of fifty-five yuan. level. Most of Mr. Jackson's workers earn between RMB 62.5 and RMB 65. He pays about 120,000 yuan in cash every month just to pay wages. In addition to the initial investment and various expenses, he must invest about 250,000 to 300,000 yuan into these two garment factories every month.
However, the benefits and net profits generated by the two garment factories are not even half of the expenditure, only about one-third.
The main reason for this situation is that his products lack fame. Unlike other garment factories, most of which are well-known tailor shops in the past and have a certain reputation in society or in a certain region. The clothes they produce are As long as the quality is qualified, there will be stable sales. The large amount of unsaleable clothes and necessary monthly expenses, as well as the sharp drop in future income, have become Mr. Jackson's biggest worry now.
Six years have passed since the beginning of this book. With the rapid recovery of the economy, the increase in income from more than 10 to 20 to more than 60 is considered slow, so don't ask why the income in the previous chapters was so low, and now it is so low all at once. High question, well there are many similar questions still, brain is a good thing.
