Then, Liu Mo stood up calmly, saluted Wu Shifeng and said:
"It's rare that Mr. Wu likes it. We are in the restaurant business, firstly, to make money and support our families. Secondly, it is also our true intention, that is, we hope that the people of Rongcheng can eat delicious food with good prices and low prices.
My 'Jingshui Pavilion' family is really powerless to prepare these delicacies. So much so that the supply was always in short supply a while ago. Therefore, I, Liu Mo, have an idea.
Tomorrow, I will give these three recipes to all the bosses so that all the people in Rongcheng can taste them. "
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
"Shopkeeper Liu, isn't this inappropriate?" Wu Shifeng said, "Why do I ask you to come up with such a precious recipe when we meet for the first time? It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!"
Such a typical inconsistency of yours! Liu Mo thought to himself, what you said just now was clearly to induce me to talk in this direction.
I have to say that Wu Shifeng is really smooth.
These three things were invented by me, Liu Mo.
But now, it is the signboard of "Guangjuxuan", and my "Jingshui Pavilion" no longer has much sense of existence.
I handed over the dispensable waste products to several other bosses for free, and they laughed out of their dreams.
After all, Zhou Zhushan bought this thing for four thousand taels of silver.
But Li Guangrun, the only one who suffered a lot, couldn't tell the truth.
If I, Liu Mo, invent something and give it away to others, can you still object?
If you object, you will offend everyone in the room. I, Liu Mo, would like you to slam the table to object.
Wu Shifeng had obviously already heard about this information and deliberately brought the conversation to this point. Liu Mo was so smart, he could reveal everything at once.
Now, except for Li Guangrun, everyone present raised their hands in approval.
"I, Liu Mo, am new here. I will rely on you all to take care of me in the future. I'm afraid you won't want me."
"Hahaha, shopkeeper Liu is so generous. I, Wu Shifeng, admire him! Come on, give you a drink!" With that, Wu Shifeng drank it all.
The other merchants bought the three best-selling recipes for nothing, and all of them smiled brightly and praised them all: "Shopkeeper Liu is such a kind person. Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Liu. I wish Shopkeeper Liu a prosperous business and great wealth."
I wonder when will Shopkeeper Liu give us these three recipes? Haha, the main reason is that most of the people in the east of my city don't have this blessing. "
"Haha, you bosses must be busy at ordinary times. Tomorrow, I, Liu Mo, will personally deliver the recipes to your door. It can also be considered as a visit from me, Liu Mo."
I came to your door in person and gave you some small gifts, which is like getting close to you. Let's fight against this damn Li Guangrun together.
When everyone heard this, they laughed and said, "Shopkeeper Liu is so thoughtful, so good, so good!"
Seeing this scene, Li Guangrun, who was the only one who suffered the loss, stood up without showing any signs of expression and gave Liu Mo a toast.
The two looked at each other, and although they were both smiling, in another world of thought, they might have fought with real swords and guns for three hundred times.
"You deserve it. You tried all your means and spent a lot of money poaching people. In the end, you didn't even get anything, and you were left with a big bite."
That night, Liu Mo drank freely, and the resentment he had held for several days was completely released at this moment.
Because of Wu Shifeng, he quickly established relationships with other merchants.
You have to give the director of the tax bureau some face, right?
I thought Li Guangrun would leave early, but unexpectedly, he was the last merchant to leave the banquet.
He kept smiling throughout the whole process, and his eyes fell on Liu Mo from time to time, observing carefully.
Liu Mo is completely worthy of him. Now that I am riding on the official's lap, do you still dare to bite me blatantly?
The dinner lasted for an hour and a half, and it was getting late before it ended.
Liu Mo was about to leave, but Wu Shifeng persuaded him to stay. Apparently he had something to discuss.
After leaving the county government office, he went to the side hall of Wu Shifeng's home.
The room is not big, more than 20 square meters, and it is neatly and cleanly decorated with tables and chairs.
Wu Shifeng got straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Liu, last time you came to Rongcheng, you made a big fanfare and turned Rongcheng upside down. But this time you act in such a low-key manner, you must have some scruples?"
Liu Mo nodded.
"Haha, we Ming people don't talk secretly." Wu Shifeng said, "I, Mr. Wu, came to Rongcheng when I first came to Rongcheng. I relied on the help of my friends to get a firm foothold. In the next few years, everything was fine.
It's just that two years ago when 'Guangjuxuan' appeared, the business tax in Rongcheng was getting worse every year. "
"Oh? What's the reason?"
Wu Shifeng smiled and said, "In the Great Xia Dynasty, we levied a tax of 1 per ten on wine, food, and tea. The tax laws we set are not difficult to understand, but only difficult to implement. All restaurant owners, wine merchants, and tea merchants have no official account books. The income tax is not accurately based on the family's accounts.
You are a smart person and should know the meaning. "
Liu Mo naturally knew.
To simply understand, tax evasion is serious.
Because there is no official accounting, any business is treated equally, whether good or bad, and can only set tax standards based on size.
Li Guangrun obviously didn't care about Wu Shifeng's reputation, and his business was booming, but he still paid the minimum amount.
There is less tax revenue. As the director of the tax bureau, Wu Shifeng is the first to bear the brunt and must bear the responsibility.
Although Wu Shifeng didn't say everything, he got the idea right.
He can use his "power" to support Liu Mo, take root in Rongcheng, and expand his business.
In return, Liu Mo needs to truthfully pay taxes according to the real turnover, which is a win-win situation for both parties.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages.
If Liu Mo makes such a start, Wu Shifeng will use him as a model for other businesses to follow.
Hasn’t it become the target of public criticism?
He looked up at Wu Shifeng's expression and rejected the suggestion. He had already helped me earlier and the other party would not give him too much face.
"May I ask Mr. Wu, how much was the annual tax before 'Guangjuxuan'?"
Liu Mo didn't bother to beat around the bush. Just tell me how much tax you want me to pay.
"Haha, shopkeeper Liu is really refreshing." Wu Shifeng motioned Liu Mofu'er to come forward.
Liu Mo was shocked when he heard the numbers the other party said.
Good guy, this is going to peel off a layer of my skin!
~~~
It was already 15:00 when we returned to "Jingshui Pavilion".
The light was on in the hall, and all the clerks in the store were asleep.
When he went upstairs, Lin Shiqi was still waiting for him in the room.
At the dinner, Liu Mo drank a lot and was now very drunk.
"Shiqi, all the troubles are solved!" Liu Mo announced immediately.
"Really? Husband!" Lin Shiqi laughed, "I also have good news to announce!"
"Could it be about the beer?"
"Yes!" Lin Shiqi nodded, "My uncle has already sent someone the recipe and brewing method!"
With that said, she took out a letter and handed it to Liu Mo.
Damn, it feels so damn good!
Good things come one after another!
Liu Mo excitedly picked up Lin Shiqi by the waist, and then kissed her hard several times.
"Madam, give birth to a fat boy for me! I will be as happy as a god, hahaha!"
"Humph, you want to do something like that!" Lin Shiqi pretended to be angry.
"Whatever you say is what it is!"
With that said, Liu Mo hugged Lin Shiqi and walked to the bed.
I have been feeling depressed for so long, and there is nothing I can say today to release the stress.
This landlord must fight all night...
