Heart of Empire Chapter 291: Tax resistance

Of course Goodell will be anxious!

More than half a year ago, he was just a small businessman who opened a shop for alchemy materials. The gold coins in circulation have never exceeded 30,000.

With his net worth, he is at most a gangster in Shawan Port, and there is no way to expand his influence to other regions. Regardless of the fact that Goodell has joined the famous Shire United Chamber of Commerce in the early years, anyone who is familiar with him knows that it is just a layer of skin. The Shire United Chamber of Commerce is also a semi-official organization of the Shire continent. In terms of recruiting members, as a halfling, Goodell can still join this business organization relatively easily. And his actual strength in business is still average.

Going out, holding the name of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce, if you die, you can only coax some ordinary people. Those who are a little higher will not take his status too seriously.

If you are an inner member of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce, it is indeed very powerful; but if you want to be an ordinary member like Goodell, it is really difficult for others to pay special attention.

But the deacon of the Shawan Port Commercial Guild has a different gold content.

Of course, the names of commercial guilds and the Office of General Affairs are only used in the south of Schindler, unlike the Shire United Chamber of Commerce, which is a large commercial guild that spans the continent. But on this one-third of an acre of land, it is still very useful for the General Affairs Office to speak, at least before Dane came to power.

What's more, the entry threshold of the General Affairs Office is not low.

Although the previous Goodell was more or less wealthy and had the skin of the Shire Chamber of Commerce, he was not up to the level of being able to join a commercial guild anyway.

But after getting Heijing's sales agency from Dane, everything changed.

In the beginning, Dane only released a batch of black crystals to him after a long time. Although he also made a lot of money at that time, it was unstable after all. Sometimes, money is something that can't be 100% exchanged for status.

But later, when the black crystal veins in Comilla were dug out by Dane using the production base generated by upgrading to the third-level system base, the same halfling who was named as the business director of Ghost Knife Port Hull began to visit Goodell frequently.

In the past, Hull also hung out in Shawan Port. Driving someone else's boat, being someone else's captain, walking on the sea. Although he bears the name of a captain, he is still a wage earner, and because of an accident, he almost failed in this industry. At the beginning, after Dane decided to go to sea, the reason why Hull became his captain was largely thanks to Goodell's introduction.

In the past, Goodell could still look down on Hull as the boss. But now, he is the commercial manager of Ghost Knife Port. Regardless of how Ghost Knife Port is developing now, they have at least one black crystal vein in their hands!

Thus, the identities of the two were completely reversed. In the past, Hull worked for Goodell, but now, in order to get more black crystal quotas, Goodell had to put down his figure and began to please Hull in every possible way.

The identities between him and Hull have been changed like this, what's the situation with Dane? You must know that Hull's status in Dane's power group cannot be said to be unimportant, but he is definitely not one of the most core people.

The status gap between Goodell and Dane is already vast.

But even so, he still held Dane's thigh tightly. In terms of money, he dared not and could not cheat Dane. And in terms of affection, more or less, he sold Comilla Island to Dane. No matter what kind of thinking he had in selling the island back then, the reason why Dane was able to make a fortune, apart from the system, was also very important to be able to obtain a territory where he could do whatever he wanted in a short period of time a reason.

With the combination of the two factors, Dane never thought about changing to an agent for Hei Jing's business.

And it is precisely because of this that Goodell made a fortune.

The current him, relying on the black crystal trade, is doing well in Shawan Port. Although there is still a long way to go from the most powerful and powerful merchants in the port, at least they can be regarded as one party. At the beginning, he couldn't squeeze into the General Affairs Office, but a month ago, someone begged to come to invite him to join.

This is the difference in treatment.

Because of this, he knew better than anyone else that his real reliance was Dane. Those guys in Shawan Port who talk about drinking and bragging about themselves seem to be close, but in fact they are of no use. For example, after the tax increase turmoil came out, he was still asked to represent the General Affairs Office to face Dane, which was obviously going to kill him.

He does not dance.

"Boss Dane, I resigned from the position at the General Affairs Office the day after you left. Those short-sighted guys will have to pay the price sooner or later. I have to follow you closely, so I won't follow them Let's be fools together."

This sentence is still on point.

Actually, Dane actually appreciated Goodell's way of running over to show him his attitude. Originally, there was a little idea of ​​replacing Hei Jing as the agent, so I pressed it down.

However, after all this kind of thing happened, Dane felt that it was a good thing to beat this halfling at this time.

Goodell didn't know what Dane was thinking. Looking at Dane's appearance, he thought that Dane still refused to forgive him.

Where is this going? Without Heijing's source of income, he would be beaten into his original form immediately! Having enjoyed the real life of wealth and knowing the taste of power and status, why is he still willing to embrace his old small alchemy shop~IndoMTL.com~ to be the boss of a small fortune?

Therefore, the halfling gritted his teeth and told a piece of news that he hadn't planned to tell Dane.

"The businessmen in the General Affairs Office may be discussing tax resistance."

"Oh?" Now Dane was more or less genuinely interested.

He expected a long time ago that after the tax increase, those businessmen would not be able to let it go, and they would definitely not stop. However, Dane had some doubts about the news that Goodell said.

"Tax resistance? Is what you said true?" He really didn't believe it, because tax resistance is actually a very stupid way. Torn skin.

Although, because of the tax increase turmoil, the merchants in Shawan Port have a lot of opinions on Dane, but they will not make life difficult for themselves just because they have some opinions? Those merchants were indeed rich, and if all their assets were added up, they might be much richer than Dane.

However, Dane has a knife in his hand. (To be continued.)
