Chapter 447: Reducing Urban Pressure

Late at night, in the Morgan Manor in Changzhou, John sat in his study and looked at IBM's sales data today, and after seeing the final total figures, he threw the statistical table on the table, his face was not sad or happy, and there was no slightest emotional fluctuation.

This sales figure is already very good for John Ex, but for John it is a matter of course, these products were sales champions in the previous life, plus the blessing of the IBM brand, it is incredible that they can't get such results.

The next day, the media in the United States became lively, like chicken blood, one after another to IBM on the front page of the headline, a century-old company that was about to collapse suddenly counterattacked, this kind of thing is something that all the media like to see, so they naturally do not hesitate to page.

John got up early in the morning to eat at the restaurant, and before he could pick up his knife and fork, he was attracted by a copy of The New York Times on the table.

"Great minds make great businesses. ”

The headline is bluffing, and it's hard not to get noticed.

Curious, John picked up the New York Times and read it, the first part was about IBM's downturn, the second part was about yesterday's press conference, the third part was about the products released, and the fourth part was about Jobs's interview.

"IBM's greatness is not because of its products, but because of its ideas, so it can lead the industrial revolution again and again. ”

John agrees with Jobs' remark that great ideas create great products, and only when a company's ideas are great can it be truly great and can always be great.

However, seeing Jobs' interview, this also made John suddenly remember that this big guy will return to Apple next year, and he doesn't know if this big guy can lead Apple to the top in this life, and he is very interested in this issue.

But John knew that even if he could get the first chance and copy Apple's classic products first, Jobs would still create another iPhone, and the person who had the ability would be the awl, and sooner or later he would have to get his head out.

After breakfast, John returned to his study, and the IBM business was finally over, he didn't have to worry about it anymore, and he was ready to return to Los Angeles to shoot a new movie.

But before he could tell Dani to let Morgan 1 prepare to fly to Los Angeles tomorrow, Dani knocked on the door from outside the study and walked in.

"Boss!" Clinton called, wanting to come to Morgan Manor to ask you about going to Russia and the next phase of government work. ”

"Why did he come to me for these things without looking for my father? I am not in charge of government work. "John was only in charge of business matters, government affairs, military affairs, party affairs, community affairs, and alliance affairs...... , these are the old Morgan jobs. And John and Morgan Sr. had already reached an agreement, including business matters, that Morgan Sr. would handle them until Morgan Sr. retired. Before the elder Morgan retired, he was a director, and his main job was filming. Managing a business is a last resort.

"The patriarch said, let you come up with a preliminary plan with Clinton first, and then hand it over to him to decide. Dani shrugged.

"Okay, let him come over tomorrow!" John sighed helplessly.

The next day, Clinton took Hillary to Morgan Manor early in the morning, and John met the two in his study.

In fact, the United States and Russia have already concluded negotiations on the contract and reached an agreement, and now Clinton has to consider what company to bring to Russia, and this matter needs to be decided by the Morgan family.

In the end, John made a list of the companies on the list, and most of the companies on the list were Morgan's, and that was the benefit of having power.

The heads of these companies followed Clinton to Russia for negotiations, and they were not only able to seize the opportunity, but also grab the biggest piece of the cake, and all in all they had many benefits.

After talking about Russia, Clinton then talked about government affairs, and at the beginning of his tenure, John decided to restore the domestic economy and reduce the government deficit. At the beginning of his tenure, the GDP was $6,539.2 billion, the government deficit was $326.6 billion, and now the GDP is $9,021.1 billion, an increase of $2,481.9 billion, and the government deficit is still $105.6 billion, a decrease of $220.1 billion.

John had already thought about the next stage of the task last night, so when Clinton asked, he directly said what he had thought about last night.

"The next stage of the government is still mainly to develop the economy, and I hope that when you leave office, the GDP will exceed the 100,000 mark, preferably 12 trillion US dollars.

In terms of tax rates, since the economy has recovered, it is necessary to change, the tax rate below the third-tier cities will remain unchanged, and then appropriately reduce by about 1%-2%, and the first- and second-tier cities will resume the previous tax rate, and raise it by about 1%-2%. ”

As a result, some companies in first- and second-tier cities will move out to other cities with lower tax rates because of the increase in tax rates. Hearing such a policy, Clinton couldn't help but interrupt John's words.

"I want some companies to move out of the first and second tier cities and settle in the third and fourth tier cities. New York and Los Angeles are first-tier cities with large populations, and cities are operating at high load every day, although the economy is good, but it has increased the city's employment, housing, education, health care, transportation, environmental pressure, and also increased the urban crime rate. And this problem will become more and more serious as time goes by, so while things are not out of control, we should quickly reduce the load on these first-tier cities. ”

A large population can bring benefits to the economy, but too much will bring a lot of problems, so John used the class tax rate policy to drive some enterprises in first-tier cities to third- and fourth-tier cities, so that the load on the city can be reduced more moderately.

As for whether these companies are willing to go, businessmen pursue profits, as long as the interests are sufficient, let alone go to the third and fourth tier cities, or to Africa, they are all willing, and the key depends on whether the interests can move them.

However, the benefits given by John are also considerable, an increase and a decrease are equivalent to paying about 5% less tax, which is very tempting for manufacturing-based companies, and manufacturing companies are the enterprises that employ the most people, and they can take away a lot of people who make a living from them when they move to third- and fourth-tier cities, and the pressure on first- and second-tier cities will naturally gradually reduce.

Moreover, John's tax cuts for third- and fourth-tier cities also have a purpose, reducing the tax revenue of manufacturing enterprises, which can reduce the cost of these enterprises, keep these enterprises in the country, so that they will not lead factories abroad because of the increase in costs, and then the domestic unemployment rate will rise again.

After Clinton, who was on the side, knew John's intentions, he stopped persuading him, picked up a pen and wrote down this policy in his small notebook.
