Galactic Garbage Station - Chapter 854

Of course, Su Jing also knows that there is another big problem with this, that is, the taxation on the tobacco business. This is a hugely profitable industry, but it is also a hugely taxed industry. 

Most of the profits from tobacco must be handed over to the state. All in all, tobacco businesses basically belong to the state all in but name. 

The state basically has a complete monopoly over them. But even so, it is would be amazing as long as you get a little profit from it.

In 2014, the industrial and commercial tax and profit of the tobacco industry reached 1,051.76 billion yuan, an increase of 95.77 billion yuan year-on-year, an increase of 10.02%; The total amount handed over to the government was 911.03 billion yuan, an increase of 94.91 billion yuan, or 11.63 percent, with a profit margin of 13 percent.

In 2015, the total tax and profit of the tobacco industry reached 1,143.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 91.9 billion yuan, and a year-on-year increase of 8.73%; The total amount handed over to the government was 1,095 billion yuan, an increase of 184 billion yuan or 20.2 percent year on year, with a profit margin of 4.3%.

It can be seen from these exaggerated data that the interests related to tobacco can be crazy, and Shire tobacco is more exaggerated than the currently available product. In comparison, the 20 to 30 billion yuan he would get from the firework business are far behind.

“This Shire tobacco, let’s see if it can be grown on a large scale. If it can then it would be a huge opportunity. It might not be that easy to break into the national tobacco industry, with a lot of bigwigs watching, but it might be possible with my connections and skills. Of course, it will take some time to cultivate seeds and build relationships, so I don’t need to aim too high. I can get the fireworks industry done first.” Su Jing thought as he carefully picked out Shire tobacco, dug it out of the Soil, and planted it in the Live Soil.

…

Two days later, the Centennial School Celebration of Zhongyun High School finally began.

In the evening, the school square was filled with students, they all brought out stools from their classrooms to sit on because they could not sit in the auditorium. In the front row, there were seats for important guests and school leaders.

“The weather is good today, and it looks like we might be able to see stars in the sky later.” Yang Wei was wearing a unisex suit and looked very capable as he spoke.

“I see so many familiar faces, it’s been years since we graduated from high school, time really does flies.” Lu Qingya said with some emotion in his voice.

“Yeah, we are already so old and I didn’t even realize how much time had passed.  Fortunately, I still retained my youthful appearance from my school days and have a beautiful girlfriend.” Zhu Jianhua said, and Liu Yin, who held his hand, smiled.

“Yes, yes, you are paired with beautiful women, but I have become an old bachelor.” Peng Ming rolled his eyes, hating this kind of casual show of affection.

At this moment, they saw a few familiar faces not far away, but those people’s eyes slightly dodged their, pretending not to see them. Among them, one is Yang Tong who once pursued Shi Qing, and the other is Lu Qingya’s ex-boyfriend Liu Yong. 

He was a guy who had two relationships but he was still not satisfied and wanted to pursue Shi Qing, but he was ignored by Shi Qing and was dumped after his character was exposed.

The two of them had a little conflict with Su Jing later, and they were embarrassed by Su Jing and lost a lot of pride. 

After they fantasized about embarrassing Su Jing after being successful but they found that Su Jing was getting stronger and stronger, and now whether it is money, power, or reputation, Su Jing had reached a level where they are far behind. 

They could only hide their faces and not talk about embarrassing Su Jing or getting revenge.

Today, they are following behind a square-faced youth and were very submissive and respectful towards him. They looked like little followers. It seems that the square-faced youth is the leader of their group.

Sure enough, when the school leaders saw the square-faced youth, they immediately greeted him with a smile and invited him to the front seat which says a lot since Yang Tong, Liu Yong, Peng Ming, Zhu Jianhua, and others do not have exclusive seats even when considering their relationship with Su Jing.

“If I’m not wrong, that one should be Jia Zhengning, right?” Zhu Jianhua said.

“When he was in high school, he was so domineering because he was a rich kid. I thought he would be next to useless in the future, but I didn’t expect him to make a fortune in the shopping mall, not only making his family industry bigger but even coming up with a refreshing product ‘Refreshing No. 1’, which is famous in the city and even ranked first in the whole country, becoming a billionaire in one leap.” Peng Ming said.

“I heard from the students in the group that Yang Tong and Liu Yong both followed Jia Zhengning a while ago and it seems to be true.” Yang Wei said.

“They really are a family of snakes and rats.” Lu Qingya said in disgust.

“Hey, if there is no A’Jing, that guy would definitely be the best one among the graduates of Zhongyun High School if it wasn’t for Su Jing and he would have been the guest of honor today, but unfortunately for him, there is Su Jing.” Zhu Jianhua smiled with a gloating expression on his face.

“Su Jing became very successful and famous, I couldn’t have imagined it back then.” Several classmates nearby also sighed when they heard Zhu Jianhua’s words.

Jia Zhengning is really good and he has the capital to be arrogant. It’s a pity that the school also has someone like Su Jing, whose existence is against the sky, and even ten  Jia Zhengning wouldn’t be able to compare with him. 

He who could have been the main guest can only remain in the background.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance as they were talking about Su Jing and Jia Zhengninga and they looked to see a Porsche appear in their vision. 

Su Jing stepped out of the car wearing a white suit and then he opened the door for Shi Qing who was also wearing a beautiful white dress. The other students heard the screams and they rushed forward after realizing who had arrived.
