Section 76 Casino
As if he heard the meaning hidden in his boss's words, Moron softened his attitude and asked the guys from the Security Bureau to focus on his territory. Even if they were innocent, they would have to find out the mistakes. Moron was extremely disgusted with these people and institutions who thought they had special power, but he was not stupid. He also knew that this was a power organ that must be possessed and controlled by the lord of the land. These people and institutions would need to exist or even grow stronger at least now and for a long time in the future. Moreover, he did not intend to hide those things from others, and he had agreed to do some experimental measures with the Northwest Administrative Office. At this time, when he heard about such problems as the Jiedushi, it was obvious that someone had made a small report. It would be better to have a skill to tell them out and be open and honest.
"Sir, you've misunderstood this. Yes, I asked the Department of Internal Affairs and the Department of Economic Development to agree that the two businesses have two places for gambling in Qingyang City. However, this is essentially different from what you call an underground casino. It is also a means and way of entertainment to enrich ordinary people, not as unbearable as you imagine." Moron's mind is much more flexible than ordinary people. His mouth is full of lotus flowers, and his words are clear and he speaks without any leakage, which is quite a bit like a Qingke who distinguishes his scholars in ancient times.
"The essential difference?" Wu Feng snorted, "Then let me tell you, what is the essential difference?"
"Of course there are essential differences. First, these two places are not underground, but are open to the outside world, and have been reported to the Qingyang Interior Affairs Office and the Economic Development Agency for approval and approval and obtained a legal business license. I have also asked Lord Xiao for instructions on this matter. Second, the owners of these two places are legal businessmen, and have no criminal or bad records before. Even people from the tax department can prove that they have good tax payment conditions. They have obeyed management since their business and paid taxes according to the regulations. It should be said that they are legally operated; Third, both places refuse usury admission, and customers must be reviewed for certain
Every guest enters the venue and needs to pay a certain amount of deposit based on the entertainment level he participates in order to prevent the guests from insufficient economic affordability due to excessive investment in gambling. These deposits will be refunded in one lump sum after their gambling ends. No guest is allowed to enter this venue twice within one day. "Moren is obviously very clear about the operating rules of the two venues, and he is also very good at introducing them, "So, these two venues should be classified as stimulating entertainment venues. I ask the Qingyang Finance Department to raise their tax rates to the same as those in Fengyue venues, both of which are high-tax tax places."
After hearing Moron's remarkable introduction, Wufeng was a little amused. It was clearly two casinos, but this guy was concealed by a clever mouth - a stimulating entertainment venue. This guy's mind is really not ordinary and easy to use.
"Very good, exciting entertainment, very well said. I'm afraid you invented this term yourself, right?" Wu Feng's sneered and snorted coldly and teased: "Oh, I think I've put you in this Qingyang Mansion, which is really a mistake. With our Lord Mo's literary talent, we can be competent for the work of the Department of Culture, Education and Health."
After being forced by Wufeng's words, Maomao sweat quietly oozed out of his back. Molun, who was smart, was also a little stuttering at this time: "Sir, this is not my invention. I also consider that Qingyang, as the capital of the northwest, is the center of thousands of miles in the northwest. At present, industry and commerce are well-developed, business travelers are gathering, public security is good, and people are obeying. Many business travelers from other places complain that our entertainment industry is too single and crude. In addition, they think that this casino is a place with high tax rates, which can not only actively drive our entertainment industry, but also generate revenue without financial resources, so they take the initiative." At this time, Molun no longer dares to say anything like gambling and stimulating entertainment, which is worthy of honest explanation of his thoughts. If Wufeng is angry, he really arranges to work in departments such as the Department of Culture, Education and Health, then he will suffocate himself to death.
"Then you said you had reported this to Xiao Tang. Could it be that Xiao Tang is also a person who doesn't know the importance of it?" Wufeng stepped forward step by step.
"This, I did report this to Lord Xiao at that time, but I didn't introduce it in detail." Molun replied hesitantly with an awkward look on his face.
Wufeng waved his hand, he didn't want to listen to this guy's argument anymore. If you were willing to believe his words like "missing words", I'm afraid that it would be difficult for him to say it for a day and a half, so Wufeng decisively made him shut up.
"Moren, Moren, have you never considered how much negative effects will open such a place bring to Qingyang? I'm afraid the fiscal and tax revenue obtained from the casino is far less than the price you need to pay for Qingyang. How long has it been since I received a reaction from someone who went bankrupt and was forced to commit suicide due to gambling. Have you never had these consequences?" Wu Feng turned around behind the desk with his hands for several times before he said slowly.
"Sir, I would like to ask, if these two casinos are closed, will there be no gambling in Qingyang Prefecture?" Molun was prepared for this and asked calmly.
Wufeng was stunned, thought for a while, shook his head slowly, and said, "Of course it is impossible. The gambling style and the romantic things have existed since ancient times. No matter what methods and methods have been taken in all dynasties, this is also due to human nature, and it is not possible to use external forces to ban the means. However, if these industries are made public, it will induce many unstable factors, and there is no doubt about this."
"Since it is impossible to ban it, why not just open the ban? Just take some assistance. Moron thought that it could resolve the bad factors to the lowest level, which is much better than doing the ghostly things in secret." Moron did not want to be outdone and said loudly.
"Haha, then let's talk about it. What are the means to resolve these adverse factors?" Wufeng was helpless in Moron's desperate pestering, so he had to respond.
"First, limit the size of the casino entry so that it cannot be expanded without restrictions. It is supplemented by registering guests entering the casino to prevent ordinary civilians from entering and preventing them from losing money due to gambling; second, adopt a deposit system to prevent gamblers from losing their minds due to gambling failure; third, limit the bets in the casino, mainly entertainment. In addition, the number of casinos can be controlled. This way, several measures should be taken to effectively reduce the adverse effects." Moron made a remark, obviously he was prepared.
"Enough, I don't think these methods can do what you call reducing adverse effects, at least not enough to offset the price you need to pay for." Wufeng shook his head flatly, "Unless you have more sufficient reasons to convince me, I have to ask you to end this exciting entertainment service."
"Sir, I can't do it. Since our Qingyang City Guardian has made a permit to open a business, how can we go back on our word? This will be a huge blow to the prestige of our Qingyang City Guardian and will be extremely unfavorable to our future work." Moron was shocked and hurriedly said: "What's more, I have already made arrangements for these two casinos. They have become the most important intelligence collection center in our northwest. Diplomats and intelligence personnel from all over the world like to vent and communicate here, especially those from the north. I think we can get a lot of valuable things from it."
Wufeng glanced at Moron with a suspicious look on his face: "Collect intelligence? Are your words true or false?"
"It's true. If you don't believe it, you can learn from the people in their intelligence agency that these types of stimulating entertainment venues and romantic venues have now become the main areas collected by our internal and intelligence departments. Diplomats from various regions who are stationed in Qingyang for a long time are far away from their hometowns, and have a lot of money, all like to spend in these two places. In some cases, such as drunkenness, excitement, etc., they are also the most likely to leak information." Moron explained to Wufeng half-truth and half-falsely.
"Oh? If this is the case, you might as well consider it." Wufeng knew that there was some truth in what Molun said. He was under house arrest in the imperial capital, and when he was bored, he could only wander in various places of love and misfortune. If he had no extraordinary determination, it would be difficult to remain vigilant. If a professionally trained spy was the most likely to make breakthroughs in these places to obtain valuable information. These diplomats stationed in the northwest from all forces should have always been vigilant, but in some special occasions, there may be loopholes.
"Then Molun said that the two merchants thanked the adults for their gifts." Molun heard Wufeng's mouth shut and quickly climbed up the rod.
"Slow! I haven't agreed yet. I want to take a look first. First, the influence of these two casinos must be limited to a certain range. If there is still news of bankruptcy hanging coming to my ears, my opinions will also change. I hope that the intelligence department can achieve appropriate results in these places." Wufeng waved his hand to stop Moren, who was still trying to defend himself, "Okay, the purpose of my visit today is not to talk about the casino. I have another thing to ask for your opinions."
Seeing that his boss was hesitant, Molun knew that his boss must have some difficult problems and was undecided, so he would ask him to discuss it. Moreover, such things must be difficult to take on the table. Otherwise, the boss could ask Xiao Tang or Ling Tianfang to discuss it. If he found himself on the head, it would definitely be something that was difficult to decide. At this time, Molun was extremely calm. He also knew that the more such things, the more cautious he needed. Wufeng could come to him, which means he could trust him well, otherwise he would never ask him to discuss it alone.
