Chapter 495: Just Don't Get Caught Doing Bad Things
It can only be Canada. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Private ownership is a wonderful thing, the laws in Canada and the United States are very similar, once you get the right to mine in private land, even if you dig the world's largest oil well, the oil is also private, and the state absolutely protects your rights and interests.
But here's the problem: as in Australia, mineral resources are private, and taxes from various operations await you!
Australia, like the United States, has a lot of taxes and strict regulations.
Want to evade taxes?
High difficulty!
Canada is the same under normal circumstances, there are a lot of taxes to pay for mining, but the abnormal situation is much more than in the United States next door!
What is not normal is the geographical differences: in almost any country, there will always be a variety of preferential support policies for development in difficult areas, and Canada is no different.
That's it, there are more difficult areas in Canada, and Zhang Nan's mines, except for the "generally hard" in Ontario, can be regarded as top bitter cold areas.
Needless to say, in order to increase employment, this tax has been cut to a minimum by negotiators and lawyers.
Basically, about 100 million Canadian dollars of output is worth paying a few hundred Canadian dollars in taxes, symbolically.
As long as you can help me increase the employment rate in the area and feed me so many people, taxes are not taxable.
If so many people have a salary, they will have to eat, drink and lazar, which will drive an industry, and the government revenue will naturally increase, and the employment pressure will also decrease.
Government, that's a good idea.
This kind of good thing is not something that anyone can catch, you have to eat and advance money first.
The vast majority of people will be scared to death if they advance money for the development of Canada's northern territories, and ultra-low taxes are necessary to attract people to invest.
Brown would be analysing this: "... Because the tax is symbolic, even if we produce 10 billion a year, according to the agreement, we will pay a maximum of 20,000 or 30,000 dollars.
This giant diamond is said to be made in Canada, at least the tourism industry in Yellowknife City will be driven, and we can also set up a local Canadian loose diamond distribution company there, which will be happy to be seen by the Canadian government. ”
The analysis is reasonable, the "Aurora" has been made public, and although it is still being processed, the photos and materials of the rough stone and the amazing kimberlite sample have caused a sensation.
Although the Canadian government has not received the most direct benefits, it will have a lot of indirect benefits in the future, and with the constraints of the law, it will definitely not come to the trouble of "Star International".
Canada has a big business, and it is still very cheeky: it can also be regarded as a big country, and if it loses its face, this loss cannot be made up by a few diamond mines.
Unlike Zimbabwe, where Zhang Nan owns and exploits all minerals on private land, the leaders here are less elaborate and believe in African norms.
Not to mention that there are more than 100 billion dollars of diamonds here, when the black buddies play their own games and the economy is almost over, they may be able to do anything for more than ten or two billion dollars.
If you make excuses to confiscate the land of ordinary people, and if you don't even bother to find an excuse, you will swallow 51% of the shares of foreign companies for nothing...... They can do all these things, and they have really done them!
Cheek?
What is cheekiness?
Can it be eaten as a meal?
Zimbabweans really don't know, and their cheeks can really be eaten!
I don't know if I provoke others, when the opponent is not cheeky, the last bad luck is usually the black buddy himself!
If the HIV infection rate is over 20%, will others be afraid of you?
It's funny!
In another 20 years, the black buddies in southern Africa are about to play themselves to the death.
"Then it's Canada, and when the time comes, send the diamonds secretly to the mines, and play tricks. ”
Hearing that the boss has made a decision, that's it.
As for the giant purple diamond, because it needed to be cut, according to the boss's habit, Brown didn't mention it.
Most likely, it will be the boss's own collection, and it doesn't matter where it came from, because it won't be sold at all.
There are so many women, and there will be no fewer children in the future, and their own family members will digest themselves.
If you really want to make a gimmick, Browna still has the eyes of the two gods put together by "large colored diamonds", and the rare colored diamond rough stones at the carat and several carat level on the top are the world's top colors if you choose a few grains.
"Boss, can you get one or two colored diamonds of three to five carats and send them to Australia?"
Engineer Xiang drew inferences from one another, and purely engaged in technology had the idea of coming up with ideas for the company's operation.
It's not that the hand is stretched too long, it's the team spirit under special circumstances, so as not to ignore this stubble by the boss who is a little too much.
Comrade Zhang Sheng has this idea and draws inferences from one example.
The rough stones in Australian mining areas are generally small, and it is a good thing and necessary to make some false and false stones.
It is estimated that De Beers is also doing this, and the laws and contracts of mines around the world are different, so it would be foolish not to do it.
Xiang Zhangsheng and Brown said goodbye, planning to go back to the night battle and continue to get down the diamonds that were still set in the stone. Here, Zhang Nan asked Alice to get a box, wrapped up the two diamonds, stuffed them in, and handed them to Boss Guan.
This kind of priceless treasure, it is right to put it in Guan Boss, it is more insurable than putting it in a bank vault.
In two days, Xiang Zhangsheng and the others were able to get all the other diamonds intact, but it would take two more days to cut the murals in the cave - this is the result of workers working in two shifts day and night after the equipment was installed.
On the fifth day, Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan stood more than 100 meters away from the entrance of the cave, and in front of them was a foundation dug out of the construction site of the concentrator.
I saw Chen Hao walking out of the hole, holding the detonator in his hand.
After installing it on Zhang Nan's side, Guan Xingquan said: "Anan, I always have a question, this press may destroy all traces of a civilization, isn't it a sense of accomplishment?"
Zhang Nan opened the detonator safety cover, looked up and said, "It's a little, it feels very cool." ”
Before he pressed it, he roared first: "Attention, it's exploded!"
Bending down and pressing the detonation button, the ground under his feet shook slightly, followed by a dull explosion.
A few seconds later, Zhang Nan stood up from the foundation and saw that the original cave entrance was still emitting smoke and dust after blasting.
I don't know this, a small piece of hillside has a slight dust coming out, which is a shock.
A group of people stepped forward to check the blasting effect - it was perfect, the original hole had completely collapsed, and as for the inside, Chen Hao drilled dozens of holes, all of which used dozens of kilograms of explosives.
According to the reaction of the ground shaking just now, Chen Hao judged that the interior had completely collapsed.
"Construction is easy to destroy quickly, Brother Guan, I suddenly feel a little bad. ”
The engineering team continued to work, and Zhang Nan sighed with emotion when he left.
Guan Xingquan said coolly: "It doesn't matter if you do bad things, just don't be discovered." ”
"Makes sense!" Speaking of this, Zhang Nan suddenly stopped leaving and looked left and right.
This is a mine, a wasteland, empty, the sun is shining, and the breeze is blowing.
Stretched out his hand to signal, then waved his hand gently, and now except for Guan Xingquan, all the other bodyguards scattered away.
The boss obviously had something to say to Boss Guan, and it was estimated that it was still the top secret kind, and a group of people walked to a distance where they could never hear the conversation before stopping.
After thinking for a while, he spoke, and he spoke in a dialect, and his voice was relatively light: "Brother Guan, there is a serious question." If I want to blow up NATO headquarters, the Pentagon, or the CIA headquarters one day, do you have any way? ”
Regarding this whimsical question, Guan Xingquan looked at Zhang Nan expressionlessly and didn't ask why.
After a few seconds of pause, he said, "The squad leader and I went to see the Pentagon, which was too large and empty all around.
If you want to blow it up, prepare in advance, and it is not difficult to use rockets to set off a cannon, and it is almost impossible to destroy them all.
If you don't want to resort to aerial self-killing, this is the only way to go.
What kind of car bomb is useless there, just listen to it. If it's a civilian target, I have a few months to prepare, and I can help you blow up any building in Manhattan, including your Empire State Building, without leaving a trace. ”
It seems that Uncle Ben is not the only person who can see the "use value of airplanes", but no one uses it.
Zhang Nan shook his head slightly, and said, "Don't want civilian targets, but military targets, or the more officials you have, the better." ”
"I haven't been near CIA headquarters and NATO headquarters, but I've seen pictures on TV and in newspapers, and it's about the same as the Pentagon.
If you really want to get along with the Yankees, you might as well deal with the White House. ”
After listening to Boss Guan's words, Zhang Nan felt that the affairs of this big country are relatively reliable: the important targets are all in the open space, and it can really prevent some small fights and sabotage.
Until Uncle Ben came up with a way to fly a plane and used it, otherwise it was almost incomprehensible: you don't even want to get close!
"It seems like it's really a problem. ”
"It's so easy to destroy the country's most important place, it's easy to kill a few people, no matter how strong the president's bulletproof car is, no matter how tight the eyeline security is, there will always be loopholes.
Bulletproof glass can block bullets, and a sniper along the line can control a distance of one kilometer, so can he still block an anti-tank missile launched two or three kilometers away?
Buildings are different, the big buildings are stronger than we think, unless you have the Soviets' kind of suitcase nukes, or you have to move ants to even carry some explosives in certain areas, unless you want to go for a suicide attack.
That's as simple as getting a heavy truck to pull forty or fifty tons of explosives and driving it to the vicinity of the target.
However, even with a remote control or a timer, the chances of getting rid of the investigation in the end are zero. ”
At this point, Guan Xingquan felt that he needed to remind Anan, "You have such a good life, why do you want to do this?"
Zhang Nan smiled, "You ran away to Southeast Asia, my brother-in-law can't wait to blow up the White House in the United States, Lao Tzu was in the capital those days, and he specially bought the largest slingshot in Panjiayuan."
It's uncomfortable, and it's ......"
Thinking of this in my heart, I didn't say this, and said: "Brother Guan, I always feel that the United States will not be able to get along with China in a short period of time, and we have a hard time in the United States, and this honeymoon period is almost over." ”
Guan Xingquan sneered: "Imperialism will not die, and Grandpa Tai's words will never become outdated."
Don't want to be in the United States, can you let go of that big mess?
You're going to be a father, where do you want to run?"
"Otherwise, Brother Guan, let's get a training base in Botswana, just my private territory. ”
"You have 3,000 acres, it's enough to get one-tenth of it, and you don't need many people, usually you can have one or two hundred, and you can be a mine protection team.
By the way, you haven't said when you're going to blow up the White House?"
was almost taken to the ditch by Zhang Nan.
Boss Guan is really serious, isn't it just a cannon battle.
"Ten years later, think about it now. ”
"Then you talk about Mao, tell me two or three years in advance, remember, before I am too old to walk.
Also, keep your mouth shut when you talk about it!"
"Okay, let's shut up when we talk in our sleep. ”
The 20th century in China began with the massacre of the Eight-Nation Coalition and ended with the bombing of the United States......
Zhang Nan once went to buy a slingshot, and he planned to use a cannon in this life, but for the sake of his own life, it was more reliable to wait until 911 to let that Uncle Ben carry the black pot.
......
After the operation of the American Express Company, Zhang Nan arrived in Belgrade on a chartered Swiss Airlines flight before the Chinese New Year.
I didn't use my own 767, because I really wanted to travel, and I went in the name of the chairman of the group.
Yugoslavia is also carrying out reforms, but it is almost at a dead end.
Yugoslavia still welcomed Zhang Nan's arrival, and even explained in advance that Zhang Nan had two personal bodyguards who could carry pistols, and this power was given to Guan Xingquan and Alyosha.
The Wall Street giant wanted to visit the beautiful scenery of Yugoslavia, and he deliberately asked two reporters from an American media to follow him, which was also operated by Amex, and to put it bluntly, it was just to reassure some people.
Of course, the reporter will not take a shot of Zhang Nan playing, Guan Xingquan, Thomas and others even know that the two reporters who came with him must have other identities, this is just everyone's tacit understanding and everyone's peace of mind.
I visited Belgrade, Sarajevo, and went to the Tara River Gorge in Montenegro to see the Tara River Gorge Bridge, the largest road concrete arch bridge in Europe in 1940.
There are tiny villages at either end of the bridge, as well as statues and monuments of those who died for the bridge.
But I have a thought in my heart for many years, and by the way, I really feel that the Yugoslavs, especially the Montenegrins, are a bit against the laws of human development.
Even Alyosha and Randy complained after arriving in the Montenegrin Union Republic, how could there always be people taller than the two of them on the street!
It is very convenient to travel in Yugoslavia by train, Zhang Nan also took two trips, and saw that there were several carriages larger than Alyosha!
"It is said that young men in Montenegro now have an average height of more than 1.86 meters, and I really don't know what to eat. ”
On the train back to Belgrade, Thomas lamented that he had always felt good height in the United States.
More than 1.8 meters, certainly not short.
But in Montenegro, Thomas feels a little like he has entered the land of giants.
Liu Wendong, who was sitting in front of him, answered: "Don't complain, think about me!"
1.7 meters, depressed.
Zhang Nan said: "This is genetic, it doesn't seem to have much to do with diet, Montenegrins were tall 100 years ago." ”
On the day of the Chinese New Year, Zhang Nan and his group took the Orient Express, which was only extended last year and passed through Yugoslavia, but will be interrupted again next year, to Paris.
