Time is the best medicine, and wait a few more months for the optimistic, cheerful people of America to get used to it.

"Hey, are you broke?"

"Hey, you're bankrupt too?"

"yes! haha, it feels good to be bankrupt, I'm in a relaxed mood now, and I don't have to worry about endless meetings anymore. ”

"Yes, my heart will no longer rise and fall with the stock market, and I may have a heart attack at any time, and I will die a pitiful death. ”

"That's great, moving bricks every day makes my body stronger, do you want to join?"

"Is there a brick to move? Great, please have a drink in the evening......"

Look, how harmonious the society is, and the optimistic people of America have become stronger.

Heaven descends on the people, and you must first suffer your mind, strain your muscles and bones, starve your body and skin, and empty your body.

And then...... You will get used to it, accept your fate, and know how to make fun in suffering.

As for such a vulgar thing as making money and enjoying pleasure, let's leave it to the salted fish who has no ambitions!

"Hi Juliana. Looking at Juliana, who was depressed and sitting in the public hall on the second floor and sipping coffee, Li Zitao opened his arms enthusiastically.

Before he could get closer, Juliana, who looked up and saw that it was him, pounced, her beautiful eyes shining like night stars.

"Hey, with the addition of the local tyrant BUFF, it's really killed!" Li Zitao's smug thought just rose, and he felt his neck tighten.

Juliana reached out and pulled him by the collar, tugged forward, and said excitedly, "Hurry up and tell me, who did the plan there?"

"......" Li Zitao's face was full of confusion, "Is it the wrong posture to turn over, shouldn't she throw herself into her arms, and then I turned over her pajamas and fell under my suit pants?"

"What plan?" Li Zitao was a little confused.

“To oney overnight。 Juliana's face was getting closer and closer, and he could already feel the warm snort of the other.

"Ahem, maybe I'll tell you another day, but not right now. Li Zitao took the collar back from her, he is very busy now.

Looking at the crimson gate, the bronze '22' sign next to it, and the two-layer door encrypted to prevent prying eyes, Li Zitao suddenly had a feeling that he was in the wrong place.

"What is this going on?" Li Zitao asked, looking at Ben.

After he explained, Li Zitao knew that the 2~3rd floor had officially become a club, and only the 1st floor hall was left for the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and S.H.I.E.L.D......

"Ben, according to your idea, how much will we lose?" Li Zitao asked, sitting at Ben's desk, looking at him.

"Between 30 million and 50 million. A hint of pain flashed in Ben's eyes, but fortunately he had been able to restrain the greed in his heart, otherwise he would never have proposed to leave the scene as soon as possible, even if he took some risks to get his benefits.

“...... Do as you say. Li Zitao is also heartbroken, but he cares more about his own safety than money.

This kind of thing is happening every day, Li Zitao's wings have just opened, and if he doesn't want to die, he must know how to act low-key and make trade-offs.

"How's my building chosen?" he said as he thought about the headquarters building.

The Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and S.H.I.E.L.D. are going to move out, and here they are as pitiful as if they were raised by their stepmothers.

"BOSS, 400 Michigan Avenue and 13 Roosevelt Rd., are all good options, and here's their profile. Ben said as he handed over the paper.

"You say. "Li Zitao habitually doesn't want to read documents, he has a headache!!

“...... Michigan 400 Building, 5 years old, consists of two buildings, front and rear, covering an area of 12.082 acres, is the most famous building on Gorgeous Mile Road,

The Grand Theater at 13 Roosevelt Road, with 3 floors, 14 meters high, and 22 acres of land. ”

Opera House 13, the oldest opera house in Chicago, had been looking to get out of it three years ago when profits began to decline, and the Great Depression made matters worse.

Although it did not meet Li Zitao's requirements, Ben still recommended that the opera house be taken for the 22 acres of land below it.

"BOSS, we can demolish the opera house and build a landmark building headquarters belonging to the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce on it, the amount of funds in your hands is too large,

It should be spent as soon as possible, otherwise, the IRS officials will open champagne for you, and as for Building 400, it can be put into use directly as the headquarters building of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

Hearing Ben say this, Li Zitao immediately nodded, "Let's go, take me to see." ”

That's right, spending the money as soon as possible is the way the think tank found a tax cut for him.

The tax time of this money is between April ~ May next year, and the current domestic economy in the United States continues to collapse, the unemployment rate has risen sharply, and the relevant tax aspects of various states are being adjusted.

At this time, as long as Li Zitao invests in industry in large quantities and creates jobs for various places, then a large part of his tax will be offset by the state government's tax law.

As for the rest of the part related to national taxes, the amount of several million US dollars, it depends on whether there will be major changes in the new policies introduced by the federal government in the future.

The tax code in the United States is one of the most complex in the world, and it is divided into national taxes and local taxes (state taxes) just like the previous earth.

On the state tax side, William Dever said he could help with half of the tax credit if he could create 500 jobs in Chicago.

As the mayor of Chicago, the second largest city in the United States, William Dever can still guarantee this, and besides, he is now a 'star' politician.

First, we came to the 400 building on Michigan Avenue, surrounded by luxury stores and filled with successful people dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Even in times of depression, the place is already orderly and prosperous.

Turn right at the intersection ahead, and you will find the famous Gorgeous Mile, and not far behind is the hotel where Li Zitao stayed last night, the Tangma Hotel.

This is the busiest area of Chicago, where everyone is proud and honored to be able to work here, and it is a symbol of wealth.

Building 400 itself looks like a twin building in the Gothic style, with a white façade and low windows between the compartments, a bit like a 'pigeon cage' from a previous life. ’

"The other side of the block is mainly engaged in finance, although there are suitable goals, but ......" Ben pointed to the opposite block, and was about to say something, when a dark shadow fell from the sky.

Boom!

The ground was stained red with blood, and the crowd walking on the street stopped indifferently, drew a cross on their bodies with their fingers, and then continued to move forward with a calm face.

They don't have time to grieve and mourn, because no one knows if the next one to jump from above will be themselves.

"You see, there's something terrible there. "If it had been two months ago, people who heard this would have laughed their big teeth off.

Gathering the financial elite of all over Chicago, every company, branch or office is famous in North America on the financial street, but now ......

Any industry related to finance is like a quail in the cold winter, shivering.

"Go to the opera house. Although Li Zitao's hands were also stained with blood, his heart was still a little upset when he saw the banker who had stirred up trouble in the financial field just jumped off the rooftop and turned into a bloody corpse.

"Go to Roosevelt 13 Opera. Seeing that the boss was in a bad mood, Ben immediately instructed the driver.

The car drove south, and when entering Wacker Boulevard, Li Zitao's vision saw a towering and magnificent building like a city wall, the Civic Opera House.

"Is this what you are talking about?" Li Zitao suddenly became interested.

“...... BOSS, you are so humorous, this opera house has only been built for 5 months, it is the most luxurious opera house in Chicago and the second largest theater in the United States,

From the beginning of construction to the commissioning, it cost 30 million US dollars. ”

Seeing Ben's speechless expression, Li Zitao knew that he would be wrong, but he was really interested in this opera house, just because it looked ...... Style, that's right!

"Can you buy it?" Li Zitao said, pointing to the Citizen Opera House, the car had already turned, and he was still reluctant to look back.

"You can try. Ben replied with a deep groan.

The Civic Opera of Chicago, from the capital behind it, happens to be the first member of the Aegis 22 Club, the public utility magnate and industrial magnate Samuel Insal.

It owns companies such as Federal Signal Corporation, Federal Edison Corporation, People's Gas Corporation and Northern Indiana Public Service Corporation.

In addition, Insar also owns a number of railroad companies, including Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Rail Rapid Transit, Chicago MRT, Chicago South Shore, and South Bend Railroad.

But the leader of the business empire who walked out of Edison's General Electric Company and single-handedly built a market value of 500 million US dollars has been in big trouble recently.

So I felt that maybe he could take this opportunity to take the big opera house for the BOSS that had just been put into use and was facing the end of winter.

After seeing the Citizen Opera House, and then coming to the No. 13 Opera House, the old style, dilapidated walls and dusty gloomy feeling, Li Zitao didn't even have the idea of staying.

"Buying it, demolishing and rebuilding it, I need a futuristic tech building, not a work of art to admire, and practicality is the most important thing. ”

His company is not engaged in art, so why should he do so much literature and art if he has nothing to do? He does not expect the headquarters to be opened in the future and treated as a tourist attraction for people to visit.

Li Zitao's favorite design is the design that used imitation glass sun panels as the façade in the 21st century in his previous life, which looks full of sci-fi design, but he also knows that this is unrealistic.

"BOSS, do you have any requirements for architectural style?" On the way back, Ben was already making preliminary plans, thinking about which famous architects to participate in the design.

"Well, I'm looking for people from country D to build it, and the house they built is strong. Li Zitao said casually, the reason was so strong that Ben was speechless to refute, "GodTM...... Strong. ’

"Building 400 is in my name, and I rent them for the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and S.H.I.E.L.D. as offices, is this also an expense?"

Hearing Li Zitao's words, Ben gave a thumbs up and said, "BOSS, you are a natural businessman. ”

Li Zitao smiled and said in his heart, "Shrewd, you are talking about treacherous and black-hearted, right?"
