Chapter 132 Three Proposals
The final winner was a senior student from China and the United States named Sun Lu. He was born in a rural area and studied art from the educated youth in the village.
Although his foundation is weak, Sun Lu is very talented. Four years have allowed his painting skills to mature, and he has been favored by many professors.
After graduation, he hopes to work in the Palace Museum. However, his family is so poor that when his younger brothers and sisters grow up, they have too much money to spend.
So, Ma Weidu hired him with a high salary, and Sun Lu came to apply. Working here for a month can almost solve the family's financial crisis.
According to the strengths of each art student, Sun Lu arranged positions for them. Then, Liu Hongmin took them to the place where they worked, the courtyard next to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
This courtyard house was also bought by Liu Hongmin, and the price of the second courtyard has increased to 40,000 yuan.
Liu Hongmin handed the draft he drew to Sun Lu, "The drawing is not very good, but you should be able to roughly see some characteristics. You take them to enrich the characters first, and I will take a look in a few days." ”
Sun Lu nodded, holding the draft and having a hard time speaking. I really can’t praise Liu Hongmin’s painting skills.
But he can understand that after all, not everyone is an art genius. If Liu Hongmin could draw by himself, what else would they need to do?
Liu Hongmin's draft has already drawn the characteristics of the character, which shows that he already has a sketch in his mind, but he hired someone to draw it because he couldn't draw it out.
Sun Lu cherished this opportunity very much. After all, Liu Hongmin gave him too much money.
After Liu Hongmin explained the matter, he was preparing to participate in the Double Conference.
The Beijing delegation had a total of fifteen proposals, three of which were proposed by Liu Hongmin. Therefore, he needs to speak at the meeting as a representative.
Liu Hongmin’s first proposal is to ensure the independent development of the military industry.
“Military industry is the foundation of the country and is the logistical support for our soldiers. If we rely entirely on buying weapons and equipment, then we will become dependent on the other party. Once the relationship between the two countries breaks down, the other party will inevitably cut off our weapons. Source, our soldiers can't fight with the enemy with fire sticks, right?"
"During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Yue was defeated by the State of Wu and became a vassal state of the State of Wu. After suffering hardships, Gou Jian returned to the State of Yue. One year there was a famine in the State of Yue, and the State of Wu borrowed 10,000 dan of grain. The next year, the State of Yue had a good harvest, but returned 10,000 dan of cooked grain to the State of Wu. , a great famine occurred, and the country's strength has declined since then. "
"Facing the favor of saving people, Yue did not want to repay it, but used poisonous tactics. It can be seen that there is no friendship at all between us. The relationship between Lao and the United States is good, and that is because Lao Su is by his side. Once Lao Su is gone, the first one that Lao and the United States will have to deal with is us.” of applause.
A representative asked: “But the national economy is very poor now, and we don’t have the money to develop our own military industry!”
Liu Hongmin said: "This is the second proposal I want to talk about: tax reform."
"From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, we have implemented a planned economy, and everything is state-owned. In this case, no It is reasonable to collect taxes. But we have already reformed and opened up, and it is unreasonable to not collect taxes. "Many people should have heard of me and know that I am rich. I can clearly state that I support the state's personal income tax." According to the current salary standard, tax-free for RMB 100 to RMB 100, 1% for RMB 100 to RMB 500, and 3% for RMB 500 to RMB 5,000. Each additional zero will increase the level, up to a maximum of 20% or more. . ”
“Personal income tax is the national wealth redistribution mechanism and the first means for us to realize our ultimate ideal. Gradient tax payment can ensure the livelihood of low-income groups. It can ensure that the country can receive enough taxes.”
“Although everyone is not rich now, it does not mean that we Chinese people will not be rich in the future.”
A representative asked: "But water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness, and personal income tax cannot subsidize the R&D funds for military projects."
Liu Hongmin continued: "In addition to personal income tax, of course there is also corporate tax . Now that foreign investment has entered, we have given tax incentives, but we can make up for it from other places."
"We all know that the salt and iron monopoly was carried out during the Han Dynasty. This is actually a tax reform. It is absolutely possible to sell salt and iron exclusively on some non-daily necessities, such as cigarettes, alcohol, toys, games, antique transactions, etc. These things are more expensive and will not affect people's lives, but will cause addiction. The prices of these things can be used to increase consumption levels and reduce the number of people who are addicted to them."
A group of representatives looked at Liu Hongmin in astonishment, especially the representative from Pengcheng, who knew that Liu Hongmin opened a business in Pengcheng. A big toy factory.
This man is too cruel, he specializes in cutting flesh from himself!
The representatives from the capital looked at the expressions of other representatives with smiles. They were also shocked when they first heard it. Regardless of whether Liu Hongmin is sincere or fake, if he can bring it up at the double gathering, he is a man.
The representatives raised their hands and agreed to Liu Hongmin’s proposal. With Liu Hongmin here, tax reform will go very smoothly. Anyone who objects will not say it out loud and will only secretly resent Liu Hongmin.
Liu Hongmin has become a living target and the country has benefited. Why should the representatives not do it?
Why doesn’t Liu Hongmin know what the representatives think? However, he doesn't care.
“My third proposal is to implement a policy of protecting traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has been a treasure of our country for thousands of years and should be the wealth of all mankind. Therefore, I propose that all formulas and treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine be banned. Register a patent. Traditional Chinese medicine patents registered in other countries will not be recognized in our country.”
The representatives all had their smiles frozen, wondering why Liu Hongmin proposed this proposal.
Liu Hongmin said: "There is a huge loophole in the patents currently implemented internationally. That is, whoever applies for a patent first will own the thing. There are many things that we used thousands of years ago and have been used abroad. It turned out to be someone else’s.”
“Let me give you an example. Everyone knows that using manure to make farmyard fertilizer is very common in our country, but no one uses it abroad. He wants to obtain a patent, and then asks us for royalties, should we pay them or not?”
The representatives suddenly started talking, feeling that what Liu Hongmin said was a bit unbelievable. Who could be so shameless! Take someone else’s stuff and register a patent.
Liu Hongmin continued: "Situations like farmyard fertilizer are common in our country. If all of them are registered as patents, then we will need to pay patent fees from others for our food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future. The entire country's huge wealth , will be taken away, how can the country develop? "
