Victory in Life
Chapter 497
Why is the import and export industry so profitable in the country now?
First, because there is a lot of demand in the Mainland, and there is no concern that imported goods will not be sold out.
Second, because of the unique policies derived from unique national conditions.
Due to past problems, most of Harbor City's goods are duty-free. After the surrender, the Mainland later wrote the City of Harbor a very generous tariff agreement.
As such, most of the businessmen in Mainland who profited from import and export trade would ship their goods to Harbor City first and then be sent to the Mainland as Harbor City goods.
Thus, exploiting such a correct policy loophole results in a tax cut of 15-25%.
"The Hull family has put most of their focus into import and export trade, and the methods they use are more or less like those of others as well. They import goods into Harbor City and then ship them to the Mainland. Doing this, they had managed to dominate the Mainland market while paying a very low amount of taxes."
Jasper had known the work in the Hull family like the back of his hand.
"To get rid of the Hull family, attacking them from the Mainland would only give a detrimental result. The easiest way to do that is to attack them in Harbor City, and I believe taking the goods from a few ships in Harbor City shouldn't be a big deal for the Law family, right?" Jasper smile.
While pacing back and forth in his office, Zachary begins to believe that Jasper's plan can be done.
"Not everything. But I have to see how Hull handles customs in Harbor City before I can decide on a more solid course of action."
Jasper smile. "It's a good step if you can do it and give me an update as soon as possible. I am ready to act at any time on my side. We have to coordinate our attacks so that the Hull family is confused as to who they should be fighting."
Zachary was silent for a moment. "What did the Hulls do to offend you, Jasper?"
Jasper replied calmly, "I won't stop until I completely defeat this arch-enemy."
However, it helped Zachary understand Jasper's determination. In his mind, he increased the importance of this fight.
"Alright, I'll work with you on this. I'll tell you as soon as I investigate things on my side. Oh, and I'll send Henry to you too, then. He had to finish his work in the Capital of Swallow. It's better if you have one of us with you."
Jasper thought about it and replied, "Okay, then. I'll call him right after."
Zachary smiles. "You don't just represent yourself here, Jasper. You have the Law family behind you ready to move in together. You can be a little more brave, Jasper. Since we, Law, have invested in you, it is impossible for us to change our stance just like that."
Jasper smile. "With your guarantee, Uncle Law, then I don't have to worry about it anymore."
The town of Waterhoof, in the Hull family home.
The pungent smoke swirled within the much larger workspace than any bedroom that had nowhere to go.
Lan's expression was furious as she sat in the study. There was a cigarette between his fingers, burning in the middle of the road.
The ashtray beside his hand was already filled with cigarette butts.
Sitting opposite him was Norman, who was also furious from anger.
"That little boy! He has absolutely no respect for people!"
Norman smacked his hand at the study table loudly, his expression dark and sinister.
"That's a total loss of one billion Somer Dollars! It was a few years of good hard work even if we split the losses between our two families!"
