American Ranch

Chapter 578 How Much Coffee Is Worth

Qin Yi was amused when he heard it: "Your state government is short of dollars again?"

"Is there a time when the US government is not short of money?"

Scott shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and didn't care about Qin Yi's teasing. Anyway, it was the government that was short of money, not him. He had everything from luxury cars, mansions, fine wine, and delicious food, so he didn't care about others. How to ridicule the government!

"Where are so many taxes spent every year? I also paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes last year, and this year is more than tens of millions. Mr. Scott, I think it is necessary to know that my dollars are used by the government. what place!"

Qin Yi put down his teacup, leaned on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, and teased this old guy like a rich landlord!
As for the taxes he will pay this year, including wine, beef, vegetables, tourism income, and fishing grounds off the coast of Los Angeles, all these things add up to hundreds of millions!

It really hurts to think about it this way, so he couldn't help but think about it. If it's suitable, taking ownership of a piece of Rocky Mountain can also be considered. After all, the expenses of the profit are not taxed!

If you don't spend the money you earn, you'll end up taking advantage of the government guys!
"Well, Mr. Taxpayer, the state government's financial expenditure can be divided into the following items: public health care, education, social security, infrastructure construction and maintenance, and basic protection for the vulnerable. I found that there are so many places where the government spends money!"

Scott was still joking with great interest, but when he counted with his fingers, he suddenly became a little out of breath!

"You also forgot the public expenses and salaries of government officials!"

Qin Yi laughed and joked, and changed the topic to Rocky Mountain.

"Tell me, Scott, which area is planned to be sold, and how big is it? What is the approximate estimated price? The news has been announced? You need to give me more information, and you can't reveal the government's plan as compensation! Don't even think about it!"

"Of course, would I do that? Who do you take me for!"

Scott pretended to be angry and stared, and then put on a smiling face, "It is planned to sell 2280 to 3850 acres of contiguous mountainous areas, and the quotation given by the financial consultant and his team is between [-] million and [-] million US dollars. Although it is still under discussion, the final resolution is almost like this."

Qin Yi didn't make a sound, but picked up the teapot to fill up the two cups, and then drank on his own.

Scott glanced at him, saw his calm face, and couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he couldn't help scolding the little fox in his heart!

He didn't have any intentions, but was simply curious. Of course, he also wanted to know whether his compensation would satisfy Qin Yi. He didn't want to be caught by the braid again!
"This news must not be hidden. The big landlords and real estate companies always have various channels to obtain news."

Hearing this, Qin Yi smiled lightly. He had expected that the news would not be concealed. After all, he was not the only one with Scott's network, and others might even be deeper and more complicated, so regarding this , he didn't have any feelings.

"What about the location? I'm more optimistic about the area near the Sun River Ranch."

"Don't worry about this! Yi, if you really plan to take it down, I can help you operate it. As long as there are no large mineral deposits in that area, or habitats for rare animals, it's basically fine. Of course, after you buy it, If any deposits are found, they are yours!"

Scott was guaranteeing the ticket, and Qin Yi nodded, still thinking about it, so Scott started to help out with ideas again.

"If you really want to win it, I suggest you submit the application materials in the name of animal protection, that is, to plan a protected area between the ranch and the Rocky Mountains. Just because of the grass in the past two years, the wild animals in your ranch Animal resources are very good!"

Qin Yi stroked his chin and thought about it. He felt that this statement could indeed occupy a great advantage. After all, wild animal protection can attract praise if it is spoken out. Those officials will not miss such an opportunity to gain both fame and fortune!
Of course, animal protection is just a name. After you actually take that piece of land, just set aside a small piece of land to allow wild animals to breed and survive freely, and no one will jump out to accuse you. Instead, you can, as an animal protector, earn a lot of fame
"Well, I am indeed very interested in land, but I still need someone to make an argument here, and I will reply to you in a few days."

Qin Yi really wants to take down the Rocky Mountains on one side of the ranch. Although he hasn't figured out what to use it for, it's always a good idea to buy it, because according to the past practice of the state government selling state-owned ranches, the price is even higher than the market price. The price is even lower, so even if you resell it, you won't lose money!

And just like the idea at the beginning, spend more than 2000 million US dollars in exchange for a piece of land that will not drop in value, and save hundreds of thousands of taxes.
"Yes, there is indeed a need for an argument! Don't worry, Yi, I guess it will take a few days for the state government to officially issue a resolution. You can take your time. As long as you are determined to take this land, I will help you get rid of the government's decision." Everything around!"

Scott patted his chest with a big bag, then stared at Qin Yi, and reconfirmed: "This is considered compensation, isn't it?"

"Yes, as long as you help me settle this matter, you don't owe me anything!" Qin Yi smiled and waved his hands, not embarrassing him anymore.

This made Scott heave a sigh of relief, and finally he was able to drink tea without any worries. This kind of green tea, which is different from coffee, gave him a strange feeling, but compared with the few times he had drunk it in the past, it was indeed a little bit better. A refreshing sense of comfort.
Just like the gourmet coffee in the ranch, it is not the dry refreshment of ordinary coffee, but the transparent and natural brightness when standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and bathing in the morning sun after a long sleep to relieve fatigue!
Qin Yi put aside the matter of the new land for the time being, and just looked up at Scott, who was enjoying himself, but couldn't help being amused, don't taste tea this time, just cultivate a tea culture lover!
So he hurriedly interrupted his enjoyment: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Scott, my tea is only enough for myself, but not for you!"

"God, the Yi I know is not such a stingy person! You can't be like this, I'm still showing off to my friends by pointing at this thing"

"It's not stingy, it's really gone!" Facing the old guy's aggressive general, Qin Yi just said with sincerity.

In fact, he didn’t lie, the bulk ones were indeed gone, and the rest of the dozens of catties were put away by Susa. The daughter-in-law said that it was not easy to store them outside, not to mention Yi Chao, and it was easy to lose the smell, so it was still sealed. It's better to throw it in the warehouse!
Seeing his stingy appearance, Scott suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, but then his mind turned and he thought of something else, and he couldn't help laughing happily, "Okay, Yi, I believe you! If you don't have any tea, you can send it tonight." Let me have some coffee beans, I don't want too much, ten pounds is enough!"

Seeing his expression that I don't dislike coffee, Qin Yi rolled his eyes and said two words weakly: "Half a pound."

".8 pounds, for Miranda's sake!"

"1 pounds."

"My God, I'll tell Miranda that her face is worth a pound. God, she's going to be so happy! You have to be careful, Yat!"

Scott was mad at first, and then pointed at Qin Yi gloatingly, but then he sighed and pretended to be pitiful: "Yi, look at us, we are all very old, and we came here specially to help you out today, You can't even part with a few cups of coffee, God, it's so chilling!"

Qin Yi drank tea expressionlessly, unmoved at all, which made the old guy who peeked at his reaction feel helpless for a while, so he slumped his shoulders and said, "Okay, Yi, I surrender! Miranda and I are not the same. It's very useful, you can give it whatever you want, no matter how much, I don't think Diana will mind!"
