Chapter 264 A Family and Going Home (Please collect, recommend, and monthly pass) 4600 words

If this kind of little bastard had been left in the past, Portman wouldn't need to be so troublesome at all, just kill him directly.At that time, they all had a license to kill, and what they were doing was killing people.A mere drug peddler dies when he dies, and no one will bother them because of this.

But it's different now, they are civilians.That's why Portman didn't stab him in the neck with a dagger, just a knee that made the guy roll all over the floor with his balls in his hands.

Kai looked at the gangsters, they all looked at Portman with hatred and fear, and shook their heads.After leaving the army, I was really not used to the scene in front of me. "Call the police, we are all civilians now, so don't go too far."

The United States is a society ruled by law, at least on the surface. They have no power to enforce the law, and even if they really beat these bastards out of trouble, they still have to bear criminal responsibility.The United States is no different than China. In China, the amount of "laundry" measured just now is enough for a sentence. The sentence is 15 years in prison, life imprisonment or death, and confiscation of property.But here it is not so serious, because this fact is too common.

Although the United States may not have the largest number of places where drugs are produced and manufactured, the number of drugs shipped to the United States must be the largest in the world.According to a large amount of data, nearly 70.00% of the drugs produced in other countries in the world are shipped to the United States. It can be said that the United States is the number one drug-consuming country in the world.

According to some statistics from nowhere, one in ten Americans is a drug addict.Especially among young people, the proportion of taking illicit drugs is particularly high.

The reason is that the United States does not strictly supervise various prohibited drugs.So these guys will only be sentenced for one or two years at most, which is still exhausting.According to the sentencing level, they are only minor crimes. If the injuries are serious, the police and prosecutors will find trouble with Portman, so they simply don't see it, don't worry, directly teach them a lesson, and hand it over to the police.

Saji also understood this truth. He gave his sister a hard look, and then asked his friend to call the police.

At this time, Saji's parents also rushed over. Seeing the mess and the gangsters all over the place, the veteran immediately understood what was going on.

He yelled at his daughter furiously.

"I warned you a long time ago that you are not allowed to bring these scumbags into my house! Angel! You must pay the price for your actions! Now you are officially notified that you are locked up!" This veteran is a typical He is so old-fashioned, he does not accept the so-called fashion of those young people nowadays.

"Dad, you can't do this! I have grown up, and I have my own freedom!" Angel is also a 16-year-old girl, and she can't accept that her father makes herself lose face in front of her friends.And Americans like to talk about freedom at every turn.

"Let's talk about it later! You are not qualified to talk about freedom now. Go upstairs! Immediately!" Although veterans are also used to the independence of their children, that is after them.

"You're unreasonable!" Although Angel was angry, she didn't dare to really stand up and resist.Although the veteran is not irritable, everyone knows his stubborn personality.

So he could only struggle to the death, and then obediently went upstairs under the old man's glare.And those cronies of hers, seeing this situation, immediately wanted to slip away.For those girls who are sixteen or seventeen, Kay has no interest in embarrassing.But it's not so easy for those gangsters who don't look like good people to slip away.

Just as a gangster wanted to leave, Kai tripped and fell to the ground.

"You wait for the police to come."

Some gangsters may have a strong desire to survive, but they actually planned to rush out by force. As a result, before the others had time to react, they saw a few gangsters fly back, clutching their stomachs and screaming all over the floor.

……

After restraining a few gangsters, Saji's father apologized to Kai. He didn't expect an ordinary barbecue party to turn out like this.

Saji couldn't bear it.

"What the hell is going on with these people? I remember that the town was not like this before!"

Although Jiade Town is not considered poor, it is located in a remote place and its folk customs are relatively simple.Saji has never seen a group of young people gathering to take drugs before. In fact, compared to big cities, Garter Town is a very conservative place. People here do not have a high degree of acceptance of drug use.

This made his father and neighbors and friends feel depressed. In fact, they didn't plan to talk about it today.Anyway, Sage left home for a few years before coming back, so if there is any bullshit, we have to save it for later.But now...

"Jade Town...isn't the old Jiade Town anymore."

So he told Saji and the others about the changes in Jiade Town in the past few years.

It turned out that five years ago, a wealthy businessman came to Jiade Town and planned to invest in Jiade Town.To be honest, this kind of thing is rare in Jiade Town for a hundred years. What is there in Jiade Town?Except for the beautiful mountains and clear waters, there is basically nothing.So at the beginning, people just watched the fun and didn't take it seriously.

But then things changed. First, there was a lot of construction in the town, starting to build an entertainment city and a few hotels, and then the wealthy businessman found the local aborigines and partnered with them to open a casino.

Pornography, gambling, and drugs, these three things are rarely separated, and with gambling, the other two are naturally not far away. (Indians can open casinos in their own territories without being controlled by state laws. In many states in the United States that prohibit casino operations, there will be white people posing as or partnering with Indians to open casinos)
Then the atmosphere in the town changed, people became addicted to gambling, and the smoky prostitutes and illegal drugs outside also began to spread in the town.Not to mention that, the wealthy businessman also began to vigorously crack down on local businesses, bankrupting many local businesses, and then buying them at low prices.

Most of the white people in Minnesota are from the Scandinavian Peninsula. They are typical Nordic races.As a result, the rich businessman had many thugs under his command, and they used violent means overtly and covertly to kill or injure some opponents. After this, the town was completely reduced to the private land of the rich businessman.

By now, almost everyone understood what kind of rich businessman that guy was, and he was clearly a member of the gangster.

"So... no one can take care of him?"

Saji felt it was incredible that a gangster could manage a small town.This is too ridiculous for Saji, does he think America is Mexico?Can those criminals be tolerated?

"Take care? Who cares? Those policemen have been bribed, and the mayor is also doing business with him. Who dares to take care of it?"

In fact, many things are the same in the world. Don't think that the United States is really a paradise. The officials there are as clean as water. Those who think so are either cents or pure fools.Collusion between government and businessmen can happen anywhere in the world, and it is not uncommon in the United States.It's just that Saji didn't expect this guy to play so aboveboard, and he didn't even bother to cover it up.

"Alas... In fact, even if these bastards are handed over to the police, they will come out soon." Saji's father sighed and said helplessly.

And at this moment, the police also came.

These policemen were very dissatisfied with this police dispatch, and they even told the Saji family very clearly that they should not cause trouble.This made Meatball, who was eating, very upset. Is this what the police should say?
The police saw Rouqiu, Kai, Portman, and Saji standing there, and knew that they were all veterans from the army, so they ignored Rouqiu's displeasure.They took away the group of gangsters very simply, including the drugs.

But to Kai's surprise, the police didn't take them away.

It's not that Kai has any tendency to be masochistic, but according to the formal procedure, at least Portman and the buddy who called the police must go to the police station. Whether it is explaining the situation or taking a statement, the parties and the caller need to describe the situation.But these policemen didn't ask about the situation, and didn't bring them back to the police station, so they just took a few gangsters and walked away.

"This...is it too obvious?" Kai was shocked, and these bastards didn't even bother to cover it up.

Saji was even more furious. These grandsons ran to his house to trouble his sister. It turned out that the others were a family of policemen and gangsters.

"Alas..." Seeing this situation, the locals sighed and stopped talking.

That's the end of the barbecue party.

……

The four of Kai and his party stayed at Saji's house for one night, and set off for Kai's hometown the next day, no, it should be Adam's hometown.

Adam's family situation is much better than others.Although his father is also missing, his mother died.But he left a lot of family property.The Milligan family is also considered a relatively prestigious family in the local area. In the generation of Adam's grandfather, their family immigrated here from England.

His maternal grandfather was a surgeon, and his grandmother was the daughter of a British aristocrat. Although she did not inherit the title, she was also of noble blood.When immigrants came here, they also brought a lot of family property.In the generation of Adam's mother, although it has declined a bit, the family property is still rich.

Just like real estate, his mother left Adam three buildings, two farms and an old house, but not much cash.Because it's all taxed.

So in fact, Kai is quite rich, of course, this is actually irrelevant to Kai, this little money is not in his eyes at all.

But it was different for Saji and his party.

When they walked into Kay's (belonging to Adam's) old house, they were immediately overwhelmed.

Big, so big!
This is an estate!And just in the depths of the rich area, there is a forest and a lake beside it.The building of the manor is a typical British building, magnificent and full of classical style.The main building is 4 stories high, with 45 rooms, 25 bedrooms, six halls, fifteen fireplaces, four kitchens, thirteen bathrooms, and covers an area of ​​about fourteen acres.

The price of the manor itself is almost several million dollars, and this is because Wyndham City is only a small city.If it were placed in some more prosperous areas, the price of this kind of classical manor would definitely exceed tens of millions.

The only downside is that there are no people here.

There is no way, originally when Adam's mother arrived, the family was already in ruins.When Adam's mother passed away, the inheritance tax and house land tax alone were enough to make Adam a negative asset.

Here I want to talk about some tax laws in the United States, the first is inheritance tax.The inheritance tax in the United States is very tricky. In the United States, the inheritance tax in the United States starts to be collected at 100 million US dollars, and the collection percentage is 18%-50%.What's even more pitiful is that the inheritance here more or less counts all the inheritance, including real estate!

The three buildings, two farms and this manor alone are worth more than 2000 million, calculated at 50.00%... In order to keep these ancestral properties, Adam almost took all her mother's cash, stocks and funds to pay taxes , by the way also paid a series of loans.

This is not counted, and the housing and land tax in the United States is also very pitted.The real estate tax in most states in the United States is collected according to the proportion of the land value of the house, and it is collected every year, as the market goes!
打个比方以纽约为例全纽约平均税率2.2%，按年缴纳。25万美金的房子每年需要缴税5500美金左右。相当于160万人民币的房子每年缴税34650人民币。而凯所拥有的那些不动产……一年就得几十万！

So don’t be envious of the so-called permanent property rights in foreign countries. The 70-year property rights in China are great. You don’t have to pay taxes every year, and you can renew them when they expire, and you don’t need to spend a lot of money.It's not like the United States, if you can't pay taxes, then wait to be kicked out of your own house!

Although except for the manor, other real estates have output, but overall they still cannot make ends meet.The main reason is that the manor is too poor, not only need to pay taxes, but also need maintenance.The annual cost of maintaining such a manor is hundreds of thousands.

Calculated in this way, the biggest reason why Adam didn't go to college at the beginning was not because of anything else, but because of poverty...

He owed millions to the bank just after he started college, so he had to join the army.At least joining the army can afford the interest, right?This is also due to the environment in which Adam grew up. Adam is not considered a cheerful child. He has been overprotected by his mother since he was a child. ability.Otherwise, he wouldn't have joined the army because of his escape.

If this trend continues, the Milligan family will eventually decline.After Kay inherited everything from Adam, he naturally needed to do something for him, so he paid off the loan for him, and spent a large amount of money every year to maintain the manor.

Regardless of the splendor of the manor now, in fact, in the hands of Adam's mother, the maintenance of the manor has become a problem.If it wasn't for Kay's money coming out, perhaps the manor that Saji and the others saw would only be a dilapidated scene.

Money has never been a problem to Kai.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Portman held the champagne brought by the maid, and kept swearing.

He was shocked, he never knew Kai was so rich.In fact, Kay never talked about it, and Kay rarely talked about his personal affairs with other people.Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, this thing actually belonged to Adam. He was just a magpie's nest, not something worth boasting about, and this little thing was not worth boasting about.

Kay curled his lips at Portman's swearing, but didn't say much.Few of the soldiers like them who kill and set fire on the front line are qualified. Besides, the army never advocates any lack of quality. As a soldier, obey orders and obey commands. If you can fight, it's over. Others It's all sidelines.

Kay asked the maids to go down, and the two beasts, Portman and Meatball, stared at other people's chest and ass, that was too rude.Those maids are from a housekeeping company, not hired by Kai himself. Kai has always handed over the manor to a housekeeping company. To put it bluntly, these maids are all serious workers. If they are accused of sexual harassment by these maids It will be very troublesome.

"Okay, take your eyes off those girls' asses! We need to talk."

"Talk about what?"

"In the future! Are you going to eat and die like this?"

Portman actually thinks that there is nothing wrong with eating and dying like this, but after thinking about it, he also knows that this is all Kai's and has nothing to do with him.So he withdrew his wretched gaze and looked at Kai.

"I don't know. Anyway, whatever you plan to do, I'll do whatever you want. Anyway, just one request, I want to live here! I don't want to go anywhere!" Portman is very single, he knows what kind of virtue he is, if there is no Kay He doesn't even know what kind of virtue he will become.Instead of this, it is better to follow Kay.Anyway, he knew that Kay would not ignore him.

Meatball doesn't matter, he's more bachelor than Portman.

On the contrary, Saji frowned, seeming to have some thoughts.
