Just three days passed by in a flash, and it was time to board the ship.
Lu Ping'an's side is quite simple. Once the people are cleared, those who should enter the courtyard should go into the courtyard. Those who can report will report, and if they can't, they will be smuggled. Compared with other busy people who boarded the ship, Lu Ping'an is extremely relaxed.
The most direct one is that there are many "goods" that are not easy to declare to customs.
An explorer can carry 10 companions, and each companion can take three people on and off the ship (including himself) and 100KG of cargo.
The former is easy to say, but the latter. Those who were brought on board had no share of the cargo from the beginning.
This is actually quite excessive behavior. If you purely follow this set of rules, most outsiders will have to go through a round of scanning from the Kingdom of God from the moment they "board the ship", and then put on simple clothes provided by the locals and start from there.
A career starting from scratch.
But there are policies above and countermeasures below. Obviously this policy is a bit excessive, mainly because many ticket holders are strong people themselves. This kind of vaguely insulting regulation can easily cause a second wave of disputes.
The policy will be continuously adjusted according to the situation. After the revision, each additional ticket was given a treatment of 10KG, which is roughly the carrying capacity of one bag.
His more wealth? Work hard to persuade ticket holders to even out their "100KG" cargo capacity. It's really not much. A better weapon can use more than ten KG. Carrying even a little material is overloaded.
.
But if it is a team of explorers, it is another matter, because many people are destined to lose money empty-handed. If a team has one explorer leader and nine members, it will have a cargo capacity of 1,000 KG, which is basically enough.
.
"I'll pay if you can give me a little more cargo capacity. I don't have your currency on hand right now, but I can exchange goods there and work part-time."
What Lu Ping'an saw was an urgent transaction in front of the "Customs" door.
I never expected that after selling ship tickets at a high price, I could then sell a batch of cargo tickets at a high price. The only trouble is still the old problem. In the absence of general equivalents, transactions are quite troublesome, and promises and offers are too uncontrollable.
And this is just the easiest gate to pass when boarding the ship.
"Items that are flammable, explosive and prone to biochemical hazards need to be checked in."
Well, you can bring it, but you can't take it with you.
Why can dangerous goods be allowed on board ships? I am afraid that most professionals would prioritize "dangerous goods" as treasures.
Ping An also knows that this is not a simple consignment. I am afraid that those highly polluting and highly dangerous items will also be inspected to avoid causing big trouble to the earth.
But he also knows that the implementation cost of this kind of policy is too high. It is estimated that it will not be long before it becomes a false story unless there are huge benefits.
"What? A tax return? Are you kidding me? I haven't even earned this yet, but I'm already a millionaire?!"
"You can choose not to pay. We will detain your goods and you can pick them up within half a year. Of course, you can also choose to discard them here directly."
Having just entered the Ark of the Kingdom of God, before the explorers had time to relax, they received customs tax declaration forms one after another.
Moreover, the tax is very heavy.
"15% tax rate?! I'm going to go, why don't you go and grab it!"
"This is a preferential tax rate. After the preferential period of the fourth exploration, it starts at 20% and averages 30%. There is no bottom limit."
The terrible tax rate was slapped in front of everyone, making those explorers who thought they had a good harvest turned pale with fear.
After a little thought, they can understand that this tax is not only necessary, but also a necessary expenditure.
Not to mention, everyone's "god of travelers" service is simply luxurious, and this is given as a "welfare" to every explorer of the Eastern Kingdom.
Dongguo's long-term local layout, infrastructure, and investment by the gods all require astronomical amounts of investment, not to mention "ship tickets". You ask the gods to work for you, and you still pay such a high price for plane travel. Why?
All need compensation.
At the same time, the reason why low-level and mid-level professionals like you can do well here and not be randomly crushed and trampled to death by the bosses on the opposite side is because there are always bosses of the same level in the Holy City.
Those big guys gave up their "exploration work" from the beginning, and they restrained and intimidated each other. At the same time, they served the collective interests of the entire earth's forces.
Not to mention, isn’t the fight for the Moon God’s joining the “collective interest”?
In theory, everyone can benefit from the collective interests, but when it comes to asking people to show their cards and pay taxes, it feels subtle.
A little calculation shows that these huge expenditures are indeed astronomical. If the Eastern Government cannot achieve financial balance in the exploration of other worlds, it will be under great pressure to implement the explorer system, and the associated losses will naturally be all the explorers.
Benefit.
To put it bluntly, if its returns are unbalanced, it will not be able to spend money and resources to bury nails in other worlds. Then, the difficulty for earth explorers to enter other worlds will rise sharply.
Not to mention, without a big boss in charge, it is easy to be regarded as a "pest" and directly trampled to death by local bosses.
Most people can see these things and guess that they are necessary expenditures, but the expressions on their tax returns are full of pain and despair.
"A truth-level item has an estimated value of one million and a tax of 150,000 gu. Just kill me."
Lu Ping'an sighed helplessly. What he gained this time was actually far more than just one truth-level item, but the others were "smuggled" by him.
The "revenue" itself is the explorer's achievements, which will improve his treatment in all aspects. Considering the future development of all aspects, some achievements still need to be made.
Lu Ping'an took out the "Bane's Bird Wishbone", which was included in the tax return list, adding 150,000 yuan to his debt.
The fact that this team easily took out a rule-level item aroused the exclamation and attention of other teams. Lu Ping'an thought that his income was not enough, but in fact, it was only a "quasi-rule level" item, which was far more than
Ninety-nine percent of the team's income levels are up.
Most of the team actually just made a profit in the safe zone/holy city and came back. Even if the "ship tickets" at the border can be sold for sky-high prices, they still have to go there and come back alive, and they still have to meet someone they can trade with.
.
Rule-level and truth-level items are always rare, but lower-level items are not uncommon. Even Lu Ping'an could foresee the crazy avalanche of average prices for "silver-level items" on earth.
Regardless of the high valuation of one million, on earth, if one million is a regular-level item, many people will take as much as they can. This is originally a treasure that cannot be bought with money.
"Fortunately, the policy is not too critical. Just pay the tax within one year. Even if it is overdue, your Explorer license will be suspended."
There is probably no way around this aspect of tax policy, but the tax method is very humane.
It knows that most explorers are very poor, so just pay your taxes within a year. After bringing these things back, you can easily pay the taxes.
There weren't many things in Lu Ping'an's report, but with the rule-level and messy things (to avoid too much attention), the group still managed to collect a high tax amount of more than 300,000 yuan.
What is the real amount of tax that should be paid? Lu Ping An made some estimates and found that it would probably make him a millionaire.
". Let me go, smuggling here seems to be a serious crime. Yes, I made a lot of money! Continue next time. Try to get your own 'smuggling ship' as soon as possible."
