Chapter 592: Deficits and Investments

Fiscal revenue, to put it bluntly, is the income of a country's government or a region's political power.

For example, there are government-controlled companies and enterprises, and as a regulator and builder, the railway network and aviation network have to pay more than 20% of the annual turnover to the government.

This figure is the turnover rather than the net profit, and after this large amount of expenditure is paid, the annual revenue and expenditure of the state-owned enterprises are basically a deficit.

But the government is not simply saving this money.

He had to hire professionals, maintain and expand the existing railroad and transportation network, pay the railroad security guards and air rider guards, build extended railway stations and air ride stations, and even take into account the expansion and security of the mining town.

To put it simply, in principle, the funds handed over by railway and air transport companies will be used in related industries as much as possible.

This expenditure is said to have reached more than 37% of the annual budget of New Tonia City, which has been excessively from one-third to one-half.

This expenditure is a necessary expenditure for the development of the industry and even the city, and it is rising wildly every year, not to mention the income reported by various enterprises seems to be astronomical, but in fact, it is not enough every year, and the government of New Winter Nya City wants to subsidize it again.

Although the company is responsible for the specific construction of the railway network, the relevant security, logistics, and maintenance are all invested by the government, and the construction of the railway network and towns also needs to be paid, as well as the construction of roads and power grid infrastructure leading to the towns.

This is basically a bottomless pit, but it is indeed a necessary expenditure for the maintenance and growth of a city.

There is a very complicated calculation formula, which Rorschach does not understand very well, he is just told that every year the government will spend a large amount of money on the construction and maintenance of existing projects, and these long-term investments cannot be stopped in the middle of the process, which means that the government will owe a large amount of money before it starts every year.

If this can't be taken out, the project will not just stop the matter, that is, the so-called unfinished project, which will cause a series of negative effects.

Workers don't get paid, they have to be dismissed, half-built roads and buildings are here, even if they are completely scrapped in a year or two, if they want to restart, they need a lot of money for inspections, repairs, re-recruitment of workers and engineers, and considering the losses caused by theft, it is really not a joke that the project will be stopped for a year and a half, and the expenditure will be doubled or tripled.

And once stopped, it will also cause fluctuations in the entire construction plan, and the construction plan is often linked to the development plan.

For example, there is a new type of playground in place A, several enterprises and churches have invested together, and it is expected to be put into operation in a year, and the company has hired staff, purchased a series of equipment and utensils, and spent a lot of advertising money.

There is a certain distance between site A and the town, and the railway station leading to it is expected to be completed in half a year, and the full set of lines will be put into use within a year.

And now this station has been temporarily canceled due to lack of funds, and the railway has canceled passenger traffic due to lack of money, leaving only freight....... We can probably see the news of the people involved in the playground jumping off the building en masse.

This kind of infrastructure investment may seem slow and expensive, but in fact, it drives the economy, people's livelihood and development of an entire region.

The benefits are long-term, the investment is also long-term, and even more than ten years or decades can be balanced as a whole, and the builders themselves have no interest income.

The more the new city invests in this area, the more money it owes for development, that is, the annual revenue and expenditure of New Winter City are the source of the deficit every year.

In a sense, Rorschach has always admired the Eagle Crown, that is, they have invested unusually much in this area, and when the expenditure on New Tonia City is also unusually large, the Eagle Crown has also thrown money (donations) to the government to tide over the difficulties to maintain the huge railway network laying project.

It's not just the Eagle Crown family that's doing this.

Education, infrastructure construction, health care, industrial development, farm building, and the creation of legions are all additional expenditures.

To develop, it must take a lot of investment, and a lot of investment is to give money and resources, and other big churches have also been constantly transfusing blood to New Tonia City, which has caused this prosperous era of development.

But now......

"New Tonya City is really weak and terrible now, everyone is gone. ”

The impact of the departure of the big church is in all aspects, and after a little calculation, Rorschach found that even if the fiscal revenue does not decrease this time, it is still a big deficit, and the deficit is .....

“...... Now the question is not whether or not to take out next year's construction funds, but whether they can afford to pay the interest on the previous loan. ”

New Tonia City is about to enter its seventh year, and the construction of the project is generally a five-year cycle, and the loan was also signed in this way at the beginning, and now the loan and interest are being repaid when the city was built, but this previous capital expenditure has not been wronged and continued to be given (the big church has run).

It was a bad debt at the beginning, but now it is even more chaotic, and at this time, it is a big church that is going to run away to ask for debts? Rorschach felt that there was probably a high probability of going to war.

The Great Church that signed the original sign is gone, and the final account can probably only fall on the government of New Winteria City and its annual expenditures.

Rorschach had more and more headaches, and just thinking about this debt, Rorschach felt that it was easier to declare bankruptcy.

But the most crazy thing is that this year's fiscal revenue has also dropped significantly.

That's too many, but in the end, it can be attributed to one big event - the plane war.

In a sense, the big church is equal to a large number of large enterprises, and if they slip away with their own industries, they will naturally take away all the enterprises and factories that they can take away, so a large reduction in taxes is predictable.

And the founding of the country at this time also brought negative impacts.

Since we are one country, it is really impossible to say that we have to collect taxes for trading with each other, and the trade tax between Horn City and New Tonia City is a high-quality source of income that skyrockets every year.

The turmoil in the industry and the adjustment of tax policy have caused a sharp decline in fiscal revenue, and this decline is still unstoppable.

"We can collect taxes again, well, we can also raise taxes,"

Hehe, the things that were signed at the founding ceremony are going to be torn up in less than a month, do you plan to cause a war between the wasteland tribes and the corner city?

"Not only can we increase the transaction tax, but we can also increase the income tax and consumption tax for the urban population, and the warlords in Jiaocheng will charge fourteen (four out of ten), and we will have no problem collecting thirteen. ”

Are the people of the whole country happy to welcome the tax increase? At the time when the government has just changed and the people's hearts are unstable, do you plan to let us usher in the grand ceremony of riots, and maybe the tax will be raised, but it will definitely not be the time when all parties are sensitive.

Shaking his head, Rorschach asked the security guard to take out this expert who had increased taxes for two companies, first to check whether he was a spy sent by another family, and then to check whether his doctoral diploma was fake.

"Perhaps, we can use the old way. ”

Not long ago, the whole city was freed, and financial means cannot cure all diseases, what we need now is industry. 】

Among the many plans, Rorschach thinks the most reliable is to list the entire New Tonia City in Ash and make another investment.

But it seems that Luo Li has a very deep memory of the stock market crash, and she was almost played to death, and she doesn't want to touch this kind of means.

"It's true that the industry is right, but if we can't get the construction funds for next year, our industry will be shut down. It's not just time and money that will be lost. ”

The opinions of the two immediately diverged, and Rorschach was obviously more adventurous (deadly) than his sister.

But soon, the experts gave feedback.

"It's impossible to go public, all the shares of Anthoreen are falling like crazy right now, and no one will buy the shares of the New Gods and the Descendant forces until you prove that you are capable of surviving the catastrophe in ten years' time. ”

Well, without talking about it, it's not feasible at all.

But the situation has entered a dead end, and no one can come up with money empty-handed.

Rorschach's professional ability is not stronger than that of experts, and the opinions of experts are quickly rejected, and it is no wonder that the previous experts (whose opinions are verified by academic qualifications) have come up with unreliable solutions, which is a problem that cannot be solved at all, and a random answer is worthy of the salary given.

And just when Rorschach was anxious, a flickering thought made him overjoyed.

"Aren't the Ichs going to invest? Maybe we'll be able to find new investors. ”
