Chapter 297 (1/2)
Although Elia's activity made everyone laugh, the atmosphere of the dinner party aroused her. Everyone no longer felt constrained and talked freely.
About the grand glorious sacrifice
About the activities of Datang chamber of Commerce
About the scenery in the elf family
Then Victor raised his glass to Donne and said with a smile, ”Baron Donne, can we put our appointment on the agenda?”
Tang en was stunned: ”what's the appointment?”
“……”
Victor was helpless: ”combine...”
”Oh!”
Donne suddenly realized, ”how much do you want - wait, Fiona, do we still have redundant capacity?”
Fiona took out her book, quickly turned a few pages, and then said, ”the main production line is still in full production. According to the current production speed, it will take more than a month to complete the order. If your majesty is not in a hurry, you can arrange a small number of combine harvesters for temporary use.”
”How much does a small amount mean?”
”Within 100 units, production can be completed within a week.”
”What do you think? If necessary, I can give you a preferential price.”
Donne said with a smile, ”the original price is one million. You can get a 20% discount.”
Fiona didn't say anything this time. After all, the customer is his majesty Victor
Victor smiled bitterly: ”I don't have so much spare money.”
”Are you kidding? You're the king!”
”I'm also the poorest king. Even taking out OLINA's private property is not enough. Do you know how much it costs to raise the army? Even if they don't do anything, just the cost of eating every day can destroy several small families.”
Victor sighed, ”otherwise I wouldn't have pinned my hopes on your crystal energy plan.”
Fiona suddenly asked, ”do you need a combine very much?”
”Of course, I've heard about the harvesting efficiency of combine harvesters. If necessary, I even want to promote it all over the country.”
Fiona's eyes flashed: ”in that case, let's replace our property again.”
”Property replacement? You mean...”
”We provide you with combine harvesters free of charge, but you have to give us the corresponding tax reduction policy.”
Fiona said calmly, ”according to the imperial law, up to now, the tax payable by the Lord is about 850000 gold coins -”
”Why so much?”
Donne was stunned, and Victor also looked stunned: ”so much!?”
No wonder Victor was surprised. When Donne went to Ellington, Ellington was poor, and the previous acting lords paid only about 10000 gold coins a year!
He has only been there for a few months, and the output value of Ellington has increased dozens of times!?
”Of course so much.”
Fiona said with a wry smile, ”Lord, haven't you calculated how much income you have?”
”No.”
Donne said casually, ”you take care of this. I haven't noticed.”
Victor was impressed by Fiona at that time. It was really not easy to be trusted by Donne, the last descendant of the golden rose family.
”Lord, we did earn a lot of gold coins.”
Fiona said noncommittally, ”but we spent more gold coins. You may not know that in order to build Ellington, we used almost all the gold coins we earned to buy various materials, so we made earth shaking changes in Ellington in just a few months.”
”To make no exaggeration, Ellington's monthly per capita net income has reached more than ten gold coins, and the cohesion of the residents is very strong, and they also support the Lord's rule, but this is based on the Lord's spending money on construction.”
”Now in Ellington, the vault is actually empty.”
After a pause, Fiona continued, ”so your majesty, if you want to get tax gold coins from Ellington, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.”
disappointment? Victor is certainly not disappointed!
Doesn't it mean that Donne is the son of destiny that he can develop in that broken place in Ellington?
”Therefore, based on the fact that Ellington is unable to pay taxes smoothly and your majesty needs our products, I suggest your majesty accept this win-win solution - mortgage the taxes payable with the products of Datang chamber of Commerce.”
”We Datang chamber of commerce not only have combine harvesters, but also a series of products such as magic cultivator and magic irrigation machine. If your majesty is willing to know, I will leave you a full set of introduction materials later. At the same time, we are also happy to continue to accept the transaction of product mortgage tax.”
