Expedition to Europe

In this world, no matter what people do, they have a certain purpose, which is the so-called "profit-driven".

Before meeting "Angel Jack" again, John Higgins had been thinking about what motivated "Angel Jack". As long as he understood what "Angel Jack" wanted and what he wanted to do, John Higgins could take the right medicine.

No matter what method John Higgins uses, the attitude of "Angel Jack" is very important. If "Angel Jack" firmly wants autonomy, then John Higgins has no choice.

That’s not right, it’s not that there is no way.

In fact, Australia is a "federal" country with a high degree of autonomy. The so-called "federal system" is originally a combination of many small countries, and each federation has a high degree of autonomy.

In this way, no matter what request "Angel Jack" makes, everyone can sit down and talk about it.

Again: I may disagree with every word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

So when John Higgins noticed fatigue in "Angel Jack's" eyes, John Higgins keenly felt that maybe this matter was not as serious as people thought.

Sure enough, after sitting down in the living room, "Angel Jack" felt exhausted as soon as he spoke: "I really don't know what those gentlemen in Pas want to do. I came to Australia a few months ago and I was just casually walking around. To relax, those gentlemen in Pas were almost begging me to invest, hoping that I would spend money in Western Australia to reduce the financial pressure on the state government, so I did so, but look at what those people are doing now. What? Are they robbers?"

"Angel Jack" was sitting on a sofa when he spoke. Different from the upright sitting posture of ordinary people, "Angel Jack" sat very deep, almost wanting to shrink his body into the sofa. The backrest of this sofa is very high, so it looks like "Angel Jack" is completely surrounded by the sofa.

John Higgins knew what Angel Jack's body language meant, which was a sign of insecurity.

Perhaps that's why "Angel Jack" looks a little tired.

The two people were sitting opposite each other now. Jack's body was slightly backlit, so John Higgins couldn't see Jack's expression clearly, but there were two burly men standing next to Jack. The marks on their chests made John Higgins feel... A bit of a surprise – Umbrella Corporation.

These two people are actually "Umbrella" people. It seems that Jack is not defenseless. At least to a certain extent, Jack has some kind of business dealings with the "Umbrella" company.

Thinking of the "Umbrella" company, John Higgins felt a little headache again.

John Higgins knew the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and the "Umbrella" company. Thinking of Qin Zhiyuan in Lanfang, John Higgins shook his head.

I hope the "overlord" is not involved, otherwise it will definitely trigger a war.

"Jack, you know, the world war has caused us a lot of losses, and the government's financial situation has reached the brink of collapse, not just the Pass state government, but Melbourne as well. Maybe some people will do some irrational things because of this, Those are all understandable, after all, they are also trying to make the society run more smoothly." John Higgins tried to choose words that would not irritate Jack.

"Yes, the government's financial situation has reached the brink of collapse, and everyone hopes for the infusion of new blood. But why should I bear all this? If the Pilbara region does not belong to me now, but to Hughes Sir, will Mr Hughes dedicate the Pilbara region to the country?" Jack dismissed.

Billy Hughes, full name William Morris Hughes, leader of the Australian Labor Party and current Prime Minister.

Well... this Labor Party is not a party based on the working class, but based on trade unions. Of course, this trade union is not controlled by workers.

"This does sound unreasonable, so they lack supporters, and the reason why I came here is to explain this to you. Jack, the Australian government has no intention of breaking the contract, and the Pilbara region still belongs to you, And because of your special contribution to Port Hedland, Jack, you now have an opportunity to join the Australian Parliament," John Higgins offered.

Well, the Pilbara region belongs to Jack, and that MP seat...

Not long ago, a member of Congress was murdered, and now, the biggest suspect is about to take that member's place and enter Congress.

Haha, this is democracy!

"Qiao, to be honest, I'm not interested in politics. It's not my area of ​​expertise. You know what I used to do. Compared with sitting in an office, I prefer to deal with the land because it saves me trouble. At least the land Don't lie to me." Jack looked very wary.

"Haha, I didn't say you should go in person. You can find someone you trust to make your voice heard in Congress. As for the Paz government, I think they will make a similar decision. After all, we need more convenient communication. , I'm afraid the telegram cannot convey the correct message." Although John Higgins was laughing, he did not mean to be sarcastic and sounded sincere.

"Yes, I think there must be some misunderstanding. I never want to be a 'troublemaker'. Almost everyone who has dealt with me knows that I am not an unreasonable person, but some people's behavior really makes me feel unbearable, just like in London, those people can laugh at my luck unscrupulously, but luck is also a kind of strength." Jack is suspected of bragging, but fortunately, he is not annoying.

"Those are all superficial people. There is no need to affect your mood for them, Jack. You are about to become one of the richest people in the world, and your achievements will be beyond their reach." John Higgins began to introduce the next topic.

"Rich... yes, the land has given me everything, so I will protect my parents at all costs." The meaning of Jack's words is a bit obscure.

"Of course, Jack, the Australian government will not only not take all of this, but will protect your legitimate rights. This is what you deserve. Of course, one thing must be confirmed, no matter what you dig out from the ground, you must pay taxes according to government regulations." John Higgins put forward Melbourne's requirements.

"I remember that there was a rule before that no matter who it was, as long as they developed resources in Australia, they would not have to pay any taxes for five years, and they could decide how to get the benefits." Jack didn't want to be trapped by John Higgins' words.

"Yes, there is such a rule, but it was announced ten years ago, and it was to develop Australia's land as much as possible. At present, Congress is revising this clause." John Higgins explained.

"Look, what did I say..." Jack spread his hands and made a "speechless" gesture.

"Jack, you must understand this point. This is not directed at you or anyone else. There is no conspiracy or trickery. It's just because the law ten years ago seems to be out of date today, that's all." John Higgins tried to be tactful.

The original text is available at Six # 9 @Books/Bar!

"Of course, the gentlemen in Congress are the makers of the rules, and they can certainly modify them at will. But I have a question. You just said that the World War has just ended and the government is in financial difficulties. So this is the time to recuperate. Why do they want to modify this decree at this time? To be honest, this makes me feel that they are targeting me. They don't want me to get all this easily, even if I have already paid once." Jack didn't want to be easily persuaded on this issue.

Taxes are an obligation that everyone should bear, but if they are manipulated by others, those people may really come up with a heavy tax, which is equivalent to putting Jack to death.

"Jack, there is no conspiracy in the whole thing, you are just too sensitive..." John Higgins tried his best to defend himself, even if he didn't believe what he said.

"Let's do this, Joe, I can declare my attitude now. If you want me to pay taxes, yes, I am willing to take responsibility, but at the same time, my rights must be guaranteed, not like now, even when I sleep, I have to have bodyguards guarding my bedside." Jack took a big step back. This was the greatest sincerity Jack could show.

Of course, this is also the greatest sincerity that Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault can show. After all, Lan Fang is not strong enough to directly confront the British. If Lan Fang and the British really break up, it may be another world war. Lan Fang and France are not sure of winning now.

"Jack, I'm really glad that you think so. To be honest, this situation is something that no one wants to see. The government is wasting energy on it, and your work progress will be delayed... I think your suggestion is worth considering in Melbourne. Please give me a few days." John Higgins' confidence increased.

In negotiations, someone always has to give in first, no matter which side.

From the current point of view, Jack's concession is the best choice.

Jack's position is a businessman, and although the businessman likes to fight, he definitely doesn't want to be one of the parties. Jack's concession at this time is enough to show that Jack has no ambition for autonomy, but just wants to make a profit, which is in line with the businessman's thinking mode.

In the next two months, John Higgins became the bridge between Jack and Melbourne. In order to facilitate travel, Jack even built an airport in Port Hedland, bought several planes from France, and established an airline.

This made the Australian government less wary of Jack. Think about it, if Jack really wanted to go to war with the government, then Jack would not continue to invest.

It seems that the turmoil in Port Hedland is gradually calming down.

It's just an appearance.
