Chapter 488: . Tobacco and wine open road (4/5)

After the garage sale festival, Wang Bode was ready to do something serious, that is, he had to thank the people who had helped him before.
Before returning home, when he was in conflict with No.4, but with the help of many people, he could not deal with the trouble of No.4 without blood.
The overwhelming contributions were the overbearing president and the general manager of the Yak Club, Leonard. Needless to say, overbearing presidents, they lived and drank together and their feelings were extraordinary.
With Leonard, the annual meeting of the Yak Club will be held at the end of March, so he can thank him later.
First and foremost, he would like to thank the two mayor colleagues, the heroes of glory and Camilla Clarken.
He brought a lot of tobacco and alcohol gifts from China, and ended the garage sale festival on the weekend. On Monday, he brought Eva and gifts and began to thank the door.
After the conflict with the 24th, Wang Bo understood a truth again, that is, life is alive, friends are better. He was too closed in the sunset town last year, busy with political affairs, this year he decided to go out.
Driving in Martin's classic car, the two first went to Homeless Town. He didn't say in advance that he went straight to the small government of Homeless Town.
New Zealand's post-disaster reconstruction work is not as effective and fast as China's. The garbage caused by the earthquake has now been cleared out, but many buildings have not yet been built.
Fortunately, Maori people are used to living in tents. There are large tents everywhere in Wanderer Town. Wang Bo drove between them and thought he had gone to a refugee camp.
When he got out of the car with the strong man, he was immediately welcomed. A few Maori people around him saw him walking around and clapping and hugging him, and there were people who wanted to touch him.
A woman opened her arms to Zhuang Ding. Zhuang Ding's dog face was called ruthless. Wang Bo glared at it and he had to compromise: when it was done, hug it and hug it. Oh, you still want Dear son? That won't work!
Eva smiled and watched one person and one dog surrounded by her. She waited quietly to please them because she knew that the pair had paid too much for this land during the earthquake.
Wang Bo saw that more people were going to come around, and quickly brought the strong men, carried tobacco and alcohol into the small government building.
The glorious hero was waiting for him while smoking a cigarette. After the two met, he laughed and said, "Wang, you guy is so popular now, I really worry about when you will come to participate in our election. If you run, The mayor must belong to you. "
Wang Bo and his enthusiastic embrace hugged his nose and said, "For the sake of God, my brother, can't you lie, when will the Maori decide the mayor by election?"
The shining hero grinned, and he lit Wang Bo with a cigarette and said, "You are a smart man, man, you should be the queen in the political circle."
Wang Bo also ordered him and said, "You are a bold man, man, dare to smoke here. I think I have chosen the right gift."
The New Zealand government has been working hard to promote New Zealand to enter the sfc alliance, namely smokey-free-country, by 2025. Translating it into Chinese is the smokeless country alliance.
In recent years, through continuous market tax increases on tobacco products, the New Zealand government has forced some smokers to quit smoking or at least reduce the consumption of cigarettes.
According to New Zealand government regulations, smoking is prohibited in all indoor places except homes; in all modes of transport, except private cars, smoking is also prohibited.
In addition, if New Zealand ’s outdoor occasions are labeled with the
nos
king, smoking is also prohibited. Many outdoor occasions in this country have such labels. For example, the lakeside beaches developed by Wang Bogang have such labels.
The heroic act of blatantly smoking in the office is unimaginable in the city, but the Maori always have some privileges, especially the homeless town is also all Maori, and the New Zealand government can hardly control it.
Wang Bo opened the box and took out ten cigarettes: Zhonghua, Huanghelou, King Furong, etc., all of them are high-grade cigarettes. He bought them from the sand table and got them to the castle. If they had to go through customs, these cigarettes would not pass. And also put him in jail.
The glorious hero was surprised when he saw it. He took the cigarettes and asked, "Man, don't you smuggle now as the mayor?"
Wang Bo couldn't help crying and said, "This is a gift I brought to you from my hometown. Thank you for helping me last month. This gift is no respect ..."
After listening to his words, the glorious hero quickly took the cigarettes and said, "No, no, this is a tribute. Seriously, knowing that you can bring such a gift, I should use the Maori power to speak to you."
His performance is a bit exaggerated, but it is not all exaggerated. New Zealand's cigarettes are very expensive. The government controls the price of cigarettes through taxes. According to statistics, the country consumes more than $ 1 billion in tobacco products a year, of which more than 70%. Yes taxes, including tobacco tax and excise tax gst.
Therefore, New Zealand is doomed to have no good smoke, and whether it is good or not, the price is ridiculously expensive.
Wang Bo went home the year before and bought cigarettes. The cheapest filter cigarettes in New Zealand cost about 20 dollars a pack. In fact, the cost may be just a few dollars, all of which are taxes.
Like some more powerful smokers, if you pack a pack of cigarettes a day, living in New Zealand will cost about $ 7,500 a year.
The Maori people are old smokers. This ethnic group started to grow tobacco after moving to New Zealand. Nowadays, men, women and children like the two before and after meals.
After taking out these cigarettes, Wang Bo started to take wine, Wuliangye, the blue dream of the sea, and of course, the national wine Maotai. In addition, Wang Bo also prepared a small box of Erguotou.
Analogous to cigarette control is New Zealand's control of alcohol.
The problem of alcoholism in New Zealand has a long history. Indigenous people believe that in addition to bringing people relaxation and happiness, alcohol also brings great problems to the safety of society and people's health.
The New Zealand government is very sturdy and has directly revised the law to address the problems caused by drunkenness and alcoholism in New Zealand society. In 2013, they launched a new alcohol management law plan, some of which are sturdy:
For example, if someone is drunk in a New Zealand pub, the bar owner will be fined a warning of NZ $ 5,000.
For example, if the business premises reaches three warnings within three years, the liquor license and the person in charge will be revoked for five years.
For another example, if a guest is drunk on the premises, the bar manager must be responsible, and may be fined up to NZ $ 4,000, and the staff on duty will face a maximum of NZ $ 2,000 ... (To be continued.)
