The American government is actually very poor. It is really poor. It is not like crying about being poor. It is not like some county governments that cry all day long that they are a poor county. As a result, all the cars driven by the county government are Audis. Land Rover or something like that, I’m embarrassed to say hello to my colleagues even though I’m driving so domineeringly.

These so-called poor areas are just fools. Maybe the people are really poor, but the officials, haha...

The blue sky is three feet high, and it is not for nothing. Being an official for thousands of miles is only for wealth. This sentence is actually true.

But compared to this situation, the US government really doesn't have much money.

This is not a pretense, it is real. During the financial crisis, any department in the country can be said to have done nothing.

But the government here in the United States is bankrupt, including the White House, California, etc. that everyone is familiar with.

Because there is really no money to speak of in the United States, and the domestic finances of the United States may still have some water, but the finances of states and counties are completely transparent, truly transparent, and even the transparency is a bit speechless.

And there are some people, old men and women, who spend all day in front of the state government calculating these things. If a manhole cover costs dozens of dollars more, they will raise flags to protest. In addition, states and counties The governors are elected, and different parties are watching. To be honest, being an official or a civil servant in the United States is really not a very heart-breaking thing.

How much does the state government spend on education each year? Generally speaking, the proportion is 6% of total revenue. How much is the cost of highway maintenance? It is basically 2%. Public welfare accounts for 6%, natural resources accounts for 2%, and the police accounts for 11%. Prisons are 19%, drainage is 9%, fires, etc. are calculated separately, government retired employees' pensions are 7%, and unemployment benefits are 4%...

Of course, this is just a rough approximation, and the situation in each state is different, but it is indeed quite transparent.

Every penny is spent somewhere, and to be honest, the salaries of these civil servants are not that much.

Basically, the salary of civil servants at the bottom is about 36,000 US dollars per year, not even 40,000 US dollars. The salary of police officers is more. The salary of middle-level managers is only about 70,000 US dollars per year. The salary of the governor is 100,000 US dollars. Between 200,000 and 200,000.

The money varies from state to state. The governor of California only has an annual salary of 200,000, let alone Massachusetts.

Everyone is willing to be an official, but to be honest, if you don't have any ambition or power, from Jiang Hai's perspective, being an official in the United States is really not a flattering thing...

Even any civilian in the United States would dare to point his finger at the governor and scold him for not doing a good job. If this were the case in China, haha...

What does it mean to insist on a single person not fighting in the country? No matter you are rich or ruthless above ground, if you don't fight for power, it means that as long as you are a small class leader at the yamen gate, if you become an enemy to him, he can destroy your whole family. Of course, , there is no government office now, but the meaning is the same.

Unless you take advantage of tens of billions and find a protective umbrella from above, otherwise, someone like a director or section chief below will be enough to destroy your family. This is the gap between the official standard and the gold standard.

In the United States, these officials have to curry favor with these rich people, because if they want to be elected, they have to solicit votes. Even if they are just showing off, they have to do charity and the like. Their money has been targeted. Then he needs some political donations.

And where does this money come from? Of course it comes from the pockets of rich people, it's that simple.

This is also the reason why Jiang Hai is not supported by any faction, but he is so rich and is the emperor in Winthrop! These people are counting on him to pay taxes so they can pay their wages.

They calculate everything based on percentages, not dead wages. There is a huge difference between Jiang Hai paying hundreds of millions in taxes and not paying taxes worth hundreds of millions! It can be said that from the governor to the county magistrate, the police, the fire brigade, retirees, even the unemployment benefits received by the unemployed on the street, there is also Jiang Hai's money in it. He has a short mouth and a soft hand when taking advantage of others. Don't they please Jiang Haixing?

This time, Jiang Hai went to the Massachusetts government to discuss the matter of allowing tourists to go hunting.

After this matter was reported, we almost passed one hurdle every day. On the first day, we went to Boston and agreed to hand it over to the state government without saying a word. The next day, the state government agreed and sent it back to Boston. On the third day, Boston reviewed it and agreed. , on the fourth day they notified Moses Adams to come over to discuss the matter. It seemed that they were much more anxious than Jiang Hai.

It is understandable when you think about it. The hunting season in the Appalachian Mountains is only now. When the heavy snow comes and the mountains are closed, you will not be able to enter because it will be dangerous and the prey will only be Can fight now.

It’s too hot in the summer, and there are too many poisonous insects and snakes. Spring is the season when animals give birth to their young, so they naturally need to be protected.

At this time, autumn is almost over, so they have 1.2 million consent to something that can increase the income of the state government, not to mention that after just finding some instructors and the like, there is only supervision. For them Generally speaking, these are all possible. Under such circumstances, the two parties can be regarded as hitting it off.

After Jiang Hai got off the plane in Boston, Moses Adams followed him directly to the state government. He had already talked to Jiang Hai in the car and the specific implementation and negotiations were almost in progress.

The entire tourist hunt is divided into three parts, the first is registration, the second is training, and the third is hunting.

It was easy to sign up. Originally, Mayor Wallis meant that he would pay two hundred dollars per person, and shoot a bullet in the mountains for two dollars, and the gun would be free, just like a gun store. However, after Jiang Hai heard this letter, he directly gave the two A hundred dollars turned into two thousand dollars.

Jiang Hai is well aware of the situation of the Chinese people. He is not from the black country, but because two hundred US dollars is actually not much money, it is more than 1,200 yuan when converted into soft sister coins. Now the Chinese people can say that they care about this money. There weren't many people.

But two thousand dollars is different. This is more than twelve thousand. Of course, this is the registration deposit, not the actual money that will be deducted. If they violate discipline or something, the money will be deducted. If there is no violation, , then only charge basic money.

A bullet is still two dollars, but the gun was confiscated by Jiang Hai for free. After all, this is not a shooting range, and maintenance will be done immediately. It is inevitable that there will be no bumps in the mountains. If it breaks, both sides will not nice.

Guns are divided into three categories, shotguns, shotguns and semi-automatic rifles. The rental of shotguns is fifty US dollars, and damage is compensated according to the price. Shotguns are US$100, semi-automatic rifles are US$100, and there are no fully automatic ones. And usually at night Sleep, this gun needs to be taken back.

It's impossible to stay in the mountains for just one day. The guards will naturally have to take back the guns at night.

Of course, these guns were provided by Winthrop, Jiang Hai's gun shop, and the income had nothing to do with the state government.

In addition, there are also clothes sold locally, which have nothing to do with the state government.

These things are what Jiang Hai and the others want to earn. Of course, the taxes they pay are another matter. Taxes are inevitable in the United States.

The money matters that the state government and Winthrop discussed were mainly from two aspects. On the one hand, it was the money for registration. Of course, it was not the deposit, but the money for registration alone. Jiang Hai was not prepared to take it with him for no reason. When these people go hunting, they will not go hunting, but go for an outing. Therefore, the only people who can go hunting are men. Each person has to pay a hundred dollars. This is the money to enter the mountain. At the same time, he also has to pay Fifty US dollars, twenty US dollars is the insurance money, and thirty US dollars is the money for the caring instructors and training money. Jiang Hai and the others are mainly talking about the one hundred and thirty US dollars.

The state government means that the venue is provided by Winthrop, the hunting license is provided by the state government, and the personnel are also provided by the state government. They want 80% of the money, but Mayor Wallis only allows Sixty percent has been paid, and now Jiang Hai is asked to come over to discuss this matter.

In fact, from the perspective of Jiang Hai, 80% or 60% of people actually don’t have much money, and 80% of them only have 104 US dollars each. To Jiang Hai, these seem to be small amounts of money. To Jiang Hai, if you go into the mountains, you must play with guns, right? , two hundred rounds of bullets is considered a small amount.

This is four hundred dollars. You can bring the small prey directly back, and eat the big ones on the spot for free. But if you shoot a deer or something like that, you will definitely have to turn it into a work of art and take it home for processing. The fee is one hundred dollars per deer, which is relatively small. This is five hundred dollars. Including clothes, Jiang Hai specially purchased a batch of military supplies, camouflage uniforms, helmets, military boots, water bottles, tactical vests, tactical A backpack or something, if you go to the mountains to play, you must get a set. This set is not expensive at 300 US dollars. It is less than 2,000 soft sister coins to buy this set. It is the standard equipment of the US military. Is it expensive? It’s definitely not expensive! You may not be able to buy even two thousand sets of camouflage in China!

This adds up to eight hundred US dollars. After deducting the cost, Jiang Hai just brought these people into the mountains and did not need any other money. Each person earned at least six hundred US dollars. Ten equals six thousand, one hundred Each one is 60,000. Winthrop’s current domestic tourist flow per month is about 3,000. There are 50 to 60 people in a group. Two groups are sent out a day. One-third of the people are going, that is 600,000. The net income is 7.2 million a year, although for Jiang Hai, this money is only small money.

Most of this money is used by him to stabilize the region. With this income, it is estimated that not only the county but also the state government will have to be more grateful to him!

Thinking of this, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smile. He had already figured out this account in his mind. When he went to the state government later, he would naturally be the suitable person. He really didn't need these little money. Too concerned. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
