Chapter 1224: Chapter 701: Stone Placed at the Tengen, Deciding Victory and Defeat, Life and Death (Part 3)

Lu Yingong was silent for a few seconds: "Truly worthy of a Knight, I couldn’t see any personal motives related to the Financial Group in your two conditions, just a public spirit wanting to change the world. I agree to your conditions... However, relying solely on the school for talent recruitment might not be enough."

Qing Chen smiled and said, "Of course, it’s not just the school. I also have to go to another place now to implement the commercial aspects."

"It’s already 3 a.m.," Lu Yingong was somewhat surprised, "Don’t you need to rest?"

Qing Chen turned and left, waving his hand, "Time waits for no one, I don’t want to wait even for a moment."

Uncle Li Dong and Lu Yingong stood side by side, watching Qing Chen’s dusty figure as he departed.

Lu Yingong suddenly asked, "Where did you find such a disciple, much stronger than you, and more responsible? Back then, when you wanted to change the world, both Qin and Cheng Xiao tried to persuade you for so long, but you didn’t feel the world’s good or bad had anything to do with you and just wanted to be a Martial Warrior. How could someone like you find such a disciple?"

No one knew that Lu Yingong was also involved in the events eight years ago, and even though Cheng Xiao was imprisoned in the Secret Prison for eight years, he never revealed his involvement.

Uncle Li Dong didn’t care at all about the disparaging tone, he laughed cheerfully, "A disciple delivered to my door, I happened to pick up a bargain. Now, the one on Ginkgo Mountain will probably be furious."

...

...

Qing Chen took Luo Wanya back to the Garrison Camp, rousing the council members with gongs and drums, dragging them into the meeting room.

The council members, looking at the bleak lighting in the meeting room, were extremely frightened, thinking this was a secret execution!

"Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous," Qing Chen pointed at Luo Wanya and said, "This is the future mayor of City No. 10, please get to know each other, you will be dealing with each other frequently."

One council member cautiously asked, "Is there something you’re doing here so late?"

"I need to pass a temporary bill now," Qing Chen said seriously, "City No. 10 is to encourage small and micro enterprises. The Financial Group previously set the tax for small and micro enterprises very high, earning one million and having to pay 550,000 to the Federation, while big companies could get tax policies, paying only 3 million on 100 million profits. Who would dare to start a business like that? Now we need to lower taxes for small and micro enterprises, encouraging talents from all over to come here and start businesses."

The old tax policies meant that small businesses simply couldn’t survive, only able to live in the arms of the Financial Group.

Only by changing this tax policy in City No. 10 can ordinary people’s commerce be revitalized.

The council members looked at each other, everything Qing Chen said was completely against the interests of the Financial Group!

Someone whispered, "Aren’t you part of the Qing’s Financial Group? Why propose such a bill... the last one who proposed a tax reduction for small and micro enterprises was drowned, the Financial Group won’t agree."

Qing Chen smiled, "They’re busy fighting wars, who’s got time to manage me? Besides, isn’t it easy to pass a bill, aren’t the votes in your hands? Come on, raise your hands for voting, a little hint... I hope to see unanimous approval from everyone. Those who do will have whiskey to drink."

Luo Wanya: "...oh my."

This Black Family Member just arrived in City No. 10, he also didn’t expect the boss now controls all political resources, planning to do something big.

The council members silently raised their hands to vote, Qing Chen looked towards a middle-aged man in the corner, "Why aren’t you raising your hand?"

The middle-aged man trembled, "I... I’m the Vice President, I don’t participate in parliamentary votes."

Qing Chen said impatiently, "I don’t care, raise your hand, Lao Luo, take a photo, prove they’ve voted."

Luo Wanya took the photo quietly, and Qing Chen took a look at it, the expressions of the council members in the photo were as bitter as could be.

Qing Chen muttered, "Your photography skills aren’t great, did you study forensic photography?"

Luo Wanya thought, can my photography skills be blamed, their expressions were ugly to begin with...

Qing Chen turned with a smiling face to the council members, "Alright, everyone can rest now."

With the meeting room restored to its emptiness, Qing Chen continued, "Education, commerce, are settled. Now, let’s talk about the household registration policy. In the future, City No. 10 will have an independent household registration policy, which will require three cases to obtain a household registration."

"The first case is special treatment, firstly Qinghe University students can directly obtain residency, and then high-end talents in fields like medical, industrial, scientific, and information technology need to be rated, valuable patent holders can also directly obtain residency."

"The second case is serving in City No. 10 for 7 years, paying 7 years of social medical and pension insurance, obtaining a 7-year residence permit, and paying taxes for 7 years to get residency."

"The third case is investment, investing more than ten million, and annual tax payment exceeding the average level threefold, continuously for three years, to obtain residency."

Qing Chen smiled, "After obtaining residency, only then are you eligible for the Empowerment to extend life by 21 years. Of course, if they are 60 years or older top-notch experts in their respective fields, they can receive the Empowerment immediately upon settling, provided they bring their patents... Lao Luo, if we are to sell Empowerment eligibility, that’s a one-time deal, it would be like Saudi selling oil, what I want is a long-term strategy."

There are many supporting policies Qing Chen did not mention, probably totaling a hundred pages, unfolding a comprehensive City No. 10 revitalization plan!
