After a brief chat with Greg Norman, we set up a separate table.
“Henry, what were you talking about with the minister earlier?”
“I was talking about taxes.”
Of course I thought you were talking about mines, but taxes?
“Why tax?”
“The government was thinking about a troublesome special tax. So I asked a few of my questions.”
“Are you special?”
“In a nutshell, they say they are planning to impose a resource surplus tax on mining companies.”
Henry explains that it is one of the measures to resolve the tax imbalance.
Tax payment in Australia is divided into federal, provincial and local governments.
Taxes generated from mining, which account for half of the economy, are returned to the federal government, and the state and local governments are relatively poor in finances.
The state and local governments also have their own imbalances.
To solve the problem, a special tax was imposed on mining, and the money was divided appropriately between the state and local governments.
“It’s a headache just to hear. How much is the special tax?”
“They say they are going to raise the existing tax rate to 40%.”
You are in the midst of a rush.
Competitive structure with the top four companies, China, and even Seongsam C&T alone give me a headache, but the taxes go up.
After all, business is not easy.
“It’s a mining company.”
“It’s the pillar that supports the Australian economy. There’s no other industry to touch.”
“The Norwegian government is amazing when you see this. Even in Australia, they try to suck blood by stabbing them like this, but they didn’t touch the huge oil money.”
“Are you feeling a little real now? How difficult is it, heh heh.”
“Which side did Secretary Greg Norman support?”
“They said they were still thinking about it. They are against it because the impact on the economy is bad if the burden on mining companies is increased, but they say that they cannot just oppose it because the state and local governments are in a situation where the deficits are increasing and they can’t see it without hands.”
After hearing the explanation, I thought that Greg Norman would agree.
The economic damage from the burden on the mining companies will come later, but the public benefits from the state and local government budget deficits will decrease immediately.
The impact will be evident right away.
“Henry, later, ask the Minister to get a real diagnosis by asking if you have recently had indigestion or digestive problems.”
“Why? Do you think there is something wrong with your health?”
At Henry’s question, Bobby, who was next to him, quickly stepped forward and said,
“You won’t lose money by listening to Jin. We recently found out that our grandson’s cerebral palsy was a misdiagnosis. Trust me and ask.”
Oh, Bobby doesn’t know what Henry knows about my abilities.
It’s a really cool situation.
Henry sensibly accepted the situation.
“Haha, I have a question for Mr. Inham, so I’ll ask him. He’s really bad with his health, so if you find something, it will be of great help.”
I giggled at Henry from behind Bobby.
– Pancreas, Cancer. (pancreas, cancer.)
It is a cancer of the pancreas, called the organ of silence.
He understood, and nodded his head slightly.
“Still, it would be difficult to overturn the plate with just one minister. Is there any way?”
Henry answered my question calmly.
“It is irresistible for politicians to raise taxes. You can delay it, but you can’t stop it.”
“Then what?”
“I have to think about it now. Because this is my job.”
The matter is serious, but the yangban who says it’s his job doesn’t change his expression.
Is this what happens when you go through all the antenatal and antenatal care?
“But doesn’t it look so comfortable?”
“There is no solid road to achieving your dreams. You have to go through a thorny road to get something of value.”
Henry held out the glass of champagne to Bobby.
“Isn’t that right, Mr Inham?”
“Of course. To me, Mr. Bearfax looks quite happy.”
“After all, he has a family, so he has something in common. We are the same age, so why not talk more comfortably?”
“That’s how you do it. Still, it’s hard to make friends at this age.”
“Hahaha, that’s right. It’s been a long time since I’ve made a good friend. Yeah, Bobby.”
“Is it? If I had known this would happen, I would have asked you to introduce me to you, Henry earlier.”
The two old men called each other names and became friends.
Seeing the people close to me agree with me, I was able to look at it with joy as well.
But the old men did not stop talking.
Eventually, I intervened between the two of them.
“Henry, Henry.”
“Um? Why?”
“Is there anyone else you’d like to meet other than Secretary Greg Norman?”
“No. All the rest are celebrities and all that matters because they’re only interested in fame.”
“But who is the person next to the Minister over there?”
“Ah, that friend is Victoria Horse Racing Minister Peter Baltzne. Greg Norman is here today because he’s such a close friend.”
In Australia, each state has a separate department for casinos and horse racing and appoints a minister.
It manages all gambling under the name Department of gaming and racing.
“Did you say hi to him?”
“I did it before you came. We met frequently over casino issues in the past, so we don’t have much to talk about now.”
It did.
Henry is a founding member of the Royal Crown Group, so you probably don’t even know him.
Casinos and government are inseparable.
“So, do you know all the casinos and horse racing ministers in each state?”
The answer to my question came from behind, not from Henry.
“I know well. How long has it been roasted and boiled to the extent that I still can’t stand the old man’s words after I let go of the casino.”
A dull voice and a sarcastic tone.
When I turned my head, I saw a tall, tall, middle-aged white man with a fishy smile on his lips.
“Jaden, what are you doing here?”
Jayden?
in memory
The son of Gary Parker, whom Henry once told me about.
The name of his naughty son who sold the P&B group and owned only the Royal Crown group was clear.
“Not all because of inspiration.”
“Because of me? What do you mean?”
“The inspiration is holding the NSW minister tight, so you’re coming to see Peter Baltz too. How long are you planning to stop?”
“Did I tell you. There’s The Stars Casino in Sydney, so we don’t need more big casinos.”
“Damn! There’s nothing we don’t need in a yard where the number of tourists keeps increasing. Do you know that The Stars, where you are the shareholder, is trying to take over?”
“So you’re here to lobby Minister Peter Waltz?”
“Since our Royal Crown headquarters is in Melbourne, we can’t keep ignoring it.”
“Twitter, do you think Secretary Peter Waltz is more influential than the ministers of other states, but do you think he can even intervene in the public sector? Give up and go back.”
“Heh, do you think I’m going to give up? Let’s see. I’ll do anything I can to get a permit to build a casino in Sydney.”
Looking back at Jayden Parker, Henry closed his eyes and shook his head.
A long sigh seemed to represent his feelings.
“Henry, is that Gary Parker’s son?”
“That’s right. An ugly bastard who’s tearing down Gary’s elaborate tower.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Jaden has been wanting to set up the Royal Crown Casino in Sydney for a long time, but I blocked it through the minister. Sydney is the right time for it. I’m not saying it because I’m a shareholder, it’s the truth.”
“If that’s the case with Henry, that’s what it is. But anyway, Henry is his father’s friend. Why are you treating him like that?”
“It’s because of the P&B group.”
“Why is that? You didn’t officially take over the stake?”
Henry fiddled with his beard and answered in an annoyed tone.
“After Gary’s death and making Jayden the chairman of the two major groups, I’ve been living my life as a major shareholder and only owning a stake. But, everything he does is ruined.”
“……”
“Do you know what I did when my debt grew so much that I couldn’t afford it?”
“What did you do?”
“They were trying to get rid of the debts of magazines and media outlets. What a shame. Those businesses were the family business of the Parker family. They threw it in the trash. It was.”
You were trying to uproot the roots of the group.
It will only make Henry angry.
Moreover, the press is information, and information is money.
If the casino is cash, the press is stock.
If the timing is right, it could be more money than cash right now, but you neglect that.
“So what did you do?”
“How do you do it? Gathered the group’s shareholders, opposed it, and fought for a few days. At that time, I handed over all of my stake in the casino to him, took over the debt-filled P&B group, and brought it back to life.”
“No, shouldn’t I be grateful if I took on the debt?”
“I’m doing that because I’ve been compared. Because I’ve done what I couldn’t solve myself.”
Oh, it’s because we had the same problem and got opposite results.
The reality is that new businesses will go bankrupt, and existing businesses will be thoroughly compared to those who are superior.
For Jaden Parker, his incompetence was revealed.
“It’s not a vessel to be the group president.”
“No, but it was Gary’s maintenance, so I couldn’t help it. He didn’t take care of the family when he was young, and he was a friend who thought that his son was addicted to gambling because of him.
“Henry did a good job of keeping a friend like that. Besides, he even brought the group back to life after his son had ruined it. So don’t make that face.”
Henry sighed and looked at Jayden Parker, who wouldn’t leave Peter Waltz’s side.
It was a really sad look.
At that time, race minister Peter Waltz, who was next to Jayden Parker, drew attention and said:
“Come on, everyone please pay attention.”
At that voice, the people in the banquet hall stopped murmuring and focused their attention.
“Today is the 150th anniversary of the Melbourne Cup. So, I would like to make a good suggestion to those who have been with us.”
When he finished speaking, a man who appeared to be a racetrack employee appeared, pushing a movable table.
“Here’s the bookmaker. Bet on the Melbourne Cup as much as you want, in any way you want. If you don’t, we’ll donate the same amount, including dividends, to charity. will be inducted into the Hall of Fame No.
Donate all your bets.
It was also Australia, the 4th largest donor country in the world.
Giving is just life.
“I’ll bet a million dollars!”
At that sound, the audience’s attention focused on Jaden Parker.
“I don’t think I have to spend that much money to improve the aspect of the Minister who prepared this meaningful charity event for me. Hahahaha.”
Of course, he looks like he’s going to be the biggest donor.
Suddenly, I remember an unknown martial arts novel I read a long time ago.
‘Is it four yangbal cheongeun to produce a thousand geun power with four yang power?’
So, how about four hundred and fifty billion dollars?
Let’s do it, make the effect of 100 billion with four hundred million.
If you’re going to donate, you’d better be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
