Chapter 191 New Plan
Chapter 191 New Plan
Tevarin slowly landed on the roof of the West Factory office building.
Lin Yide jumped lightly from its broad back.
"Tevlin, thank you for your hard work." He patted Tevlin's dragon head gently, and then planned to go to Linni to discuss matters.
However, Tevarin's expression became a little embarrassed, and asked, "Um... can you give me a raise?"
Hearing this, Lin Yide fell into deep thought.
Tevarin stared at Lin Yide with a nervous look on his face.
Its mood at the moment was full of contradictions. It wanted a salary increase, but was afraid of angering Lin Yide.
After all, it is not easy to find a boss as kind and generous as Lin Yide in this world.
The vast majority of them are black-hearted capitalists like Barbatos and Ying.
After a long time, Lin Yide finally spoke: "Tewarin, I really want to know why you want a raise?"
Tevarin hesitated for a moment, then answered honestly, "I want to build myself a dragon palace, but with my current salary, I'm afraid that after ten years of hard work, I can only build a simple toilet."
After hearing this, Lin Yide raised his lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "Tewarin, I have two pieces of news to tell you, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Tevarin thought for a moment. "Tell me the bad news first."
Lin Yide's smile deepened. "The bad news is that I have decided not to adjust your salary. After all, we have a clear contractual clause between us."
When Tevarin heard this, his big head drooped down like a wilted eggplant.
However, what Lin Yide said next made it fall into ecstasy.
The good news is, "Lin Yide said gently, "the West Factory has decided to build a magnificent Dragon Palace for you on Bayun Island free of charge."
"Boss, you are the most generous and greatest boss in the world!" Tewarin shouted excitedly, "I am willing to serve you all my life!"
Lin Yide patted its dragon head again and encouraged: "Keep working hard! In the future, I will give you shares and promote you from an employee to my senior partner."
As he spoke, he pointed to Linny and others who had just come over to greet him. "When the time comes, they will all become your employees, and they will have to respectfully call you 'Boss Tevarin' when they see you."
Tevarin was completely attracted by the beautiful vision painted by Lin Yide. He felt unprecedented pleasure imagining those humans calling him boss.
It has even begun to fantasize about showing off its achievements in the Nata region and letting those rustic dragons see what a real dragon is.
"Hehehe~~~" Tevarin couldn't help but let out a silly laugh.
Looking at Tevarin's silly look, Lin Yide couldn't help laughing.
Then he took his own steps and walked towards Linny.
Seeing Lin Yide coming, Lin Ni took the initiative to greet him, "Father."
Lin Yide looked at Lin Ni's calm posture and nodded with satisfaction, "Well done!"
When Linni heard this compliment, he, who always had a gloomy face, finally smiled. "It's just average. At least I didn't disappoint you."
"By the way," Lin Yide asked casually, "Why don't you see Linnet?"
“She’s in Liyue now, handling some matters,” Linny replied, “We’ve run into some problems with our cooperation with Ningguang.”
Lin Yide was slightly stunned after hearing this, but then he seemed to have thought of something, his expression returned to calm, and he said with a smile: "Let's go to the office to talk."
...................................................
In a beautifully decorated conference room in Liyue's Jade Pavilion, Linnet and Ningguang sat at opposite ends of a long table, with a subtle atmosphere of tension in the air.
“Ms. Ningguang, Liyue’s tax rate on our Fontaine imported goods is clearly unfair.” Linnett’s words carried a hint of anger.
Ningguang smiled calmly and elegantly, "Ms. Linnet, the fact is quite the opposite. I think the current tax rate is already a special treatment for Fontaine.
You know, the tax rate on winter goods is much higher than that on Fontaine."
Linnet immediately retorted: “But the amount of goods that flow into Liyue in winter is limited, and they are mainly luxury goods such as high-priced leather.
Our products in Fontaine are mainly industrial products with low profits, and the high taxes will make it difficult for ordinary families in Liyue to afford them."
Ningguang said calmly, "Liyue is different from Mondstadt. Mondstadt lacks an industrial base, so they have no power to fight back when facing the impact of Fontaine's industrial products.
However, Liyue is different. Liyue itself has certain industrial strength.
Therefore, imposing a reasonable tax rate on Fontaine goods can both protect local industries and promote their healthy development. "
Linnet knew in her heart that Ningguang's decision was the wisest choice for Liyue.
If a low tax rate is imposed on Fontaine goods, Liyue's industry will probably decline rapidly, following in Mondstadt's footsteps.
However, this is not a good thing for Fontaine.
Because Fontaine is currently attempting a new round of industrial upgrading, this process requires a lot of manpower and resources.
If Fontaine products can successfully occupy the huge market of Liyue, even if the industrial upgrading fails, it will only be a matter of adjusting direction and starting again.
Linnet did not give up and continued to argue, "However, the tax rate you set cannot actually promote the development of Liyue's industry.
On the contrary, it may make Liyue's industry grow like a flower in a greenhouse, lacking a sense of competition, and thus leading to stagnant development. "
Ningguang remained calm. "If that happens, we will adjust the tax rate appropriately."
Linnet was so angry, but there was nothing she could do.
