"Mr. Di, my subordinate is indeed at fault." Tang Ming looked at Di Xi and said meaningfully, "but your identity is also questionable."
"Me?" Di Xi pretended to be very surprised and said, "I'm just a jeweler who obeys the law. There is nothing suspicious about me."
"Businessman? You said you are a jewelry merchant, where are your goods?" Zong Kui felt that he had finally caught Di Xi's handle. "Also, have you reported to our tax office for business? No report? , It’s illegal business. I can arrest you and go to jail."
"Chief Tang, did you see that. This captain was just like this to tag the people indiscriminately." Di Xi said lightly.
"Okay, Zong Kui. There is no room to speak here, shut up for me." Tang Ming cursed.
Although Zong Kui was scolded, he, who knew Tang Ming's character well, had already discovered that Tang Ming had already doubted Di Xi. "This time, I see what other strategies you have!" Zong Kui secretly said in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Di Xi was still not surprised, so he clapped his hands. I saw a dozen villagers slowly walking to Tang Ming and other officials carrying a few large boxes.
"What are these things?" Tang Ming questioned.
"These captains said they want to check, my goods!" Di Xi smiled, "I just put these goods at the village chief. When I came here, there were some accidents, so the report was delayed. Time."
"Accident, what's the accident?" Tang Ming asked.
This is, Tian Jianzhong stood up. Tang Ming was told about Di Xi's killing of the giant crocodile and saving the villagers.
"That's why Di Xiaoge was temporarily settled in the village. Originally, he planned to go to the city tomorrow, but he didn't expect this captain. Alas!" Qian Yao sighed.
"Then these goods are?" Tang Ming asked.
"These are no longer goods." Di Xi said with a smile.
"Not cargo?"
"Now these are my taxes." Di Xi replied, "I know that to enter Sangzi City for business, I need to pay a certain amount of taxes. However, I just arrived here and don't know the amount. So I just estimated it by myself and added that Shanghai Hongcun should pay. Together, they should not be too different."
"What kind of goods can be used to offset the tax?" With this question, Tang Ming told his men, "Open the box."
"Yes!" The officials immediately opened all Di Xi's boxes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the box was opened, the golden light suddenly shone, and Tang Ming and the others couldn't help but exclaim.
There was nothing else in the box, only gold ingots, and each box was piled up full. This amazing treasure shook Tang Ming and all of his staff at once.
Looking at the dumbfounded officials, Qian Yao and others also cursed in their hearts: "This little brother Di said really well, these officials are really people who see money."
It turns out that these so-called gold ingots were all made by Di Xi using the gold sand. When Di Xi demonstrated to the villagers, they were also taken aback.
"Chief Tang, Chief Tang." Di Xi's call finally awakened Tang Ming.
"Mr. Di, do you mean that these treasures are handed over to the officials?" Tang Ming asked in surprise.
"Yes, do you think you can offset the tax?" Di Xi asked.
"It shouldn't be too much, I think it's a compensation." Tang Ming said happily, "Mr. Di, I didn't expect your business to be so big! Then why would you condescend to be in Haihong Village?"
"Chief Tang, my motto is'Don't forget the original intention.' Even if I have some wealth now, I can't forget the arduous and simple tradition!" Di Xi replied, "I think the environment in Haihong Village is very right. My appetite."
"Mr. Di is really admirable!" Seeing that he accepted such a generous gift, Tang Ming naturally changed his face immediately, "Actually, you should come to us earlier, so you won't cause so many misunderstandings."
"Chief Tang, I'm not to blame!" Di Xi said, "I was going to visit the house. And I wanted to personally send the tax to the tax office. But I didn't expect this tax collection team to be so unbearable." , So I kept my eyes on it."
"Chief Tang, don't be fooled by this guy!" Zong Kui said anxiously.
"Slap!" Tang Ming slapped Zong Kui directly and slapped him into the air.
"You are not allowed to slander Mr. Di anymore." Tang Ming couldn't help cursing.
"You bastard!" Zong Kui continued to curse.
"Let him shut up!" After Tang Ming finished speaking, several officials came up to grab Zong Kui and directly blocked his mouth.
"Mr. Di is absolutely right!" Tang Ming said while thinking, "This Zongkui is too much. Taxes are dared to collect a hundred times. Fortunately, this surnamed Di has left a heart, otherwise it might come to my hands. There are not a few boxes of gold left."
"Chief Tang, I don't know whether to say something inappropriate." Di Xi said.
"Mr. Di, please say!"
"If you still have someone like Captain Zongdi in your team. With all due respect, the people will really get angry at that time, but you can't afford it." Di Xi said calmly.
When Tang Ming heard this, he was also startled. After a long while, he slowly said, "Mr. Di said well. Such a despicable guy shouldn't be in our tax office anymore."
Tang Mingqing cleared his throat and said, "From today, Zongkui will be revoked from the position of the captain of the tax collection team. His position will be temporarily held by the deputy captain Li Jue."
Tang Ming's words drew warm applause from the villagers in Haihong Village. Zongkui, who has done a lot of evil, has also received his due retribution.
Next, Tang Ming asked Zhou Jue to take the tax collection team and put the boxes containing the interest gold ingots onto the carriage.
Upon seeing this, Di Xi said in his heart: "It seems that Tang Ming is not much better than that of Zong Kui, but now we have to find a few other people, and his help is really indispensable!"
"Mr. Di, just come to Sangzi City to find me if you have anything to do. I still have some influence on that ground." After collecting Di Xi's so much gold, Tang Ming naturally wanted to be polite.
"That's right, Chief Tang, I really have something to ask you for help!" Di Xi said along the way.
"What's the problem? Mr. Di, please tell me." Tang Ming asked.
"Chief Tang, I heard that doing business in Sangzi City still needs a business license." Di Xi asked.
"Yes, according to Sang Ziguo's regulations. Any merchant who wants to do business legally needs to go through the verification procedures before obtaining a business license." Tang Ming explained, "But this procedure is more cumbersome. How can you open a store in the city? It will take ten days and half a month!"
"That's it! It will take so long!" Di Xi looked embarrassed, "Chief Tang, you also know that for us businessmen, time is money! Opening one day later, that means losing money. what!"
"At this point, I have dealt with your businessmen a lot, and naturally I understand it very well." Tang Ming said, with a greedy expression on his face, "but I actually handle these procedures, so"
"It turns out that this is also the jurisdiction of Chief Tang!" Di Xi naturally saw Tang Ming's thoughts, "It seems that in the future my store will open, and Chief Tang's care is indispensable!"
"Mr. Di is indeed an old world!" Tang Ming also heard Di Xi's overtones.
"Chief Tang, I think it would not make sense if you send some more vulgar items. Moreover, once it becomes known to outsiders, those who don't know that Chief Tang is a person might still misunderstand you!" Di Xi said with a smile, "And the tax bureau. There are always a large number of objects coming in and out, and it is inevitable to attract the attention of others."
"What does Mr. Di mean!" Tang Ming asked.
"Chief Tang, you see, I am also unfamiliar with Sangzi City. If you let me open a shop in this place, I am more worried." Di Xi turned around, "Look, I want to split the shop. Let you see how the shares are distributed."
"Twenty percent?" Tang Ming's eyes straightened, "how much is twenty percent."
"In this case, since I have just arrived, I am not too familiar with the market in Sangzi City." Di Xi said pretentiously, "I will calculate it based on the daily turnover of the worst shop in our place! If it is 20%, you will be divided into one month. The profit received is about 100,000 gold!"
"What!" This number suddenly exploded in Tang Ming's mind, "Hey, I didn't expect there to be so many."
You should know that a tax official like Tang Ming's salary in Sangzi City is only about 10,000 yuan a year. Coupled with the usual filial piety of those merchants, it is about tens of thousands a year. Now Di Xi actually gave him at least 100,000 yuan in a month, and no official could stand it.
At this time, Tang Ming was stunned by this number, and he remained motionless there. It was Di Xi's few calls that awakened him.
Tang Ming also realized his gaffe, and said quickly: "I'm sorry! Mr. Di, I really didn't expect your suggestion to be so good."
"Then I'll ask Chief Tang for everything." Di Xi said as he took out a gold medal from his pocket and placed it in Tang Ming's hand.
"This is?" Tang Ming asked, looking at the gold medal with the weird mark in his hand.
"This is my token. At that time, as long as Chief Tang comes to my shop with this token, we will definitely treat you as a guest of honor." Di Xi explained.
"It turns out that Mr. Di is thoughtful." Tang Ming said with joy, "Then I will help you get the business permit after I go back. At this time tomorrow, you will come to our tax office and I will hand it in personally. Give you."
"Okay, there is no problem. It's just that I am not familiar with Sangzi City at all, where this tax office is located," Di Xi said embarrassedly.
"This is easy!" Tang Ming turned around and said to Zhou Jue, "Captain Zhou, you will bring someone to pick up Mr. Di tomorrow morning. By the way, let Mr. Di get familiar with the environment in the city. If Mr. Di has any stores that value him, please contact me. one time."
"Yes!" Zhou Jue answered quickly. Tang Ming's "Captain Zhou" just now was basically sure to let him replace Zong Kui. Zhou Jue immediately became excited.
"Okay, I'll go back to the tax office first. Tomorrow I will be there waiting for Mr. Di to drive!" Tang Ming finished speaking and left Haihong Village contentedly.
When it was determined that Tang Ming had gone away, the villagers of Haihong Village immediately cheered.
"Thanks to Brother Di, the plague god got his due punishment." Qian Yao said happily.
"No one who is greedy will end well." Di Xi said calmly.
"Brother Di, are you really planning to open a business in Sangzi City?" Tian Jianzhong asked.
"Yes, since I can settle down in the city, it will be more convenient for me to find my wife." Di Xi said, "Well! I think Haihong Village is rich in seafood, but it lacks one. Stable sales channels. When my business name is established, I will let everyone's seafood be sold directly in the city. Profits will be handed over to you without reservation. What do you think?"
