Chapter 552: Achievements Determine Everything

John was also happy to see these officials crying with joy, and it was not in vain that his efforts were not in vain, in order to make marijuana grow in West Virginia, John was heartbroken, and he had to communicate with the Rockefeller family first, and after obtaining consent, he could only plant it through legislation.

Of course, the Rockefeller family will also take a state to plant, and John likes Charles's character of only taking advantage and not taking losses, at least he doesn't have to keep his hands in the future.

In addition, in order to protect the hemp industry in West Virginia and protect the interests of farmers, John had to raise tariffs on imported CBD, which is another offending thing, and then other countries will start to raise tariffs indiscriminately, which is not a gentlemanly demeanor of fair competition at all.

But there was no way, John first guaranteed the interests of his own peasants, and he couldn't control the peasants of other countries.

And other countries are not afraid of raising tariffs on CBD in the United States, the industrial hemp grown in West Virginia is not enough to supply in the country, how can there be inventory for takeaway!

At the same time, John had to set up a satellite to monitor West Virginia to prevent anyone from growing marijuana.

"Investing in the breeding R&D center, West Virginia may have some financial difficulties, so you are allowed to go to Morgan Bank to borrow a part of the money, and when the time comes, you can sell the seeds and make money, and repay the loan, and the farmers have no savings, if you want to build greenhouses, you may not have money, and when the government establishes a file for the farmers who grow marijuana, and issues planting licenses, I will say hello to Morgan Bank and lend a part of the money to the farmers who have a planting license to support them to build greenhouses. ”

West Virginia's GDP is only more than 30 billion US dollars a year, the economy is backward, and the government finances are low, unlike California and Texas, one is equivalent to the United Kingdom, and the other is equivalent to Canada, so it is not a problem for them to take billions of dollars, and it is difficult for West Virginia to take 100 million US dollars, this economic gap is equivalent to the distance between heaven and earth, which makes John anxious!

In fact, the economy of the southern government as a whole is not bad, in the 25 states of West Virginia, Alaska, Maine, Hawaii these local economies are not good, other places are not bad, the overall economy is much better than the northern government, the top 10 states in the economy, the southern government accounts for 9, 11 to 20 accounted for 4, 21 to 30 accounted for 6, 31 to 40 accounted for 4, 4 from 41 to 50, 60% of the GDP of the United States are contributed by the southern government.

In the past, it was all about developing inland, but now it is all about coastal economy.

After discussing all the relevant matters, the sky was already slightly bright, John looked out the window at the gradually brightening sky and yawned, he did not rest all night, and took a second flight, and now he was exhausted from top to bottom, and he wished to find a bed to lie down and sleep in the middle of nowhere.

"Boss, I'll arrange for the restaurant to prepare breakfast for you, and arrange a place for you to live, so you can have a good rest after breakfast. Phili DeHaan saw that John was tired, and quickly got up and said.

"Breakfast can be prepared, forget about the stay, I have to rush back to New York today, your state affairs are done, and I still have to deal with Hawaii affairs." ”

Hawaii is also a place with a bad economy, certainly much better than West Virginia, but worse than other states.

After breakfast, John boarded the plane to leave West Virginia, and on the way back to New York, he made up for sleep in his bedroom, Morgan One had already arrived at the airport, and Dani wanted him to rest a little longer, so he didn't wake him up.

When he returned to Morgan Manor, Hawaii Governor Ricky Campbell and the mayors had been waiting in the reception room for a long time, and John had asked Dani to call them to the study without a moment of rest since John learned of Hawaiian officials.

“boss!”

"Sit, I've kept you waiting!"

"We've only been here for a long time!"

Ricky Campbell smiled with the mayors.

John saw Ricky Campbell and the others sit down and went straight to the point.

"I looked at your state's GDP for the second quarter, and the growth was relatively small compared to the second quarter of last year!"

"The growth of tourists this year is not very significant, so GDP has not increased much. ”

"Then find a way to increase the number of tourists, and don't rely on the tourism industry all the economy, you have to diversify, don't be like Detroit, if the tourists don't go one day, are you ready to go bankrupt? Or the scenery of Hawaii is too good, so that you are not willing to move, every year is backward, there is no sense of progress, I tell you, after five years the tax will be adjusted, when the tax will be collected by the State Taxation Bureau, after the collection is returned to the municipal government in proportion, the state government's annual financial expenditure to make its own budget paid by the subordinate municipal government, your state government work is not in place, when the time comes to the city card you, you don't shout.

During the election campaign, one by one they talked wildly, and when they sat in their positions, they became amnesia, okay! Aren't you forgetful? When the time comes, the cities below are as forgetful as you, don't come to ask for help. ”

The tax in the United States is too complicated, each state and each city is different, the central government collects, the state government collects, the city government collects, and it makes a mess, which not only increases the work of government departments, but also troubles the people, so John has asked people to replan taxes, and when the time comes, the state and city tax departments will be completely abolished, and all taxes will be collected by the central government, and then distributed to the municipal treasury in proportion, and the state government financial expenditure will be paid by the city.

John did this to force the state government to work, the work is not good, it is not good to ask for money when he reaches out to the city below, and the city below does not do it if the money is too much, so that not only can avoid the state government extravagance and waste, but also force them to work.

The mayors of Hawaii were secretly happy when they heard John's words, the state government's money is in their own hands, and the state government will have to look at their faces in the future.

"Don't be happy with the city government, personal income tax, inheritance tax in the future...... These 100% belong to the central government, you only have 60% corporate income tax, 70% consumption tax, 100% real estate tax, stamp duty...... If you want to live a more relaxed life in the future, then you should develop your enterprise well! If you want to collect taxes like before, it is impossible. ”

John also did this to force these officials to attract investment, enterprises, and the economy, in order to attract a company to settle in the rabbit country, it was good wine and meat hospitality, and it was to give preferential policies.

In the United States, these mayors and governors are like noble people who do not bend their waists for five buckets of rice, treat enterprises whether you love to come or not, sometimes people come to enterprises, and they are not welcome, but now they are good, enterprises are your taxes, your wages, your rice bowl will starve to death if you don't work hard, and in the future, who is diligent and who has meat to eat, and those who are lazy only deserve to drink porridge.

When the mayors heard John's words, they were like dead parents, and the personal tax accounted for a large part of the local government, and now that it is gone, they will have to tighten their belts and live in the future.

"Don't despair first, more desperate in the back, in the future, the evaluation will not be based on public opinion, but mainly on political performance, you don't have to sharpen your head to pull votes and public opinion, the evaluation will be evaluated once a year, and you will come down if you don't meet the standards for two consecutive years, you don't have to wait for four years of election, and those who can go up and down in the future, and political performance determines everything. ”

The reason why public opinion is used instead of political achievements is that the people can best know whether the ruler is qualified or not, but it has allowed these officials to take advantage of the loopholes, and when it is time for the general election, they will solicit sponsorship and votes, and one by one they will become dreamers and orators for the sake of votes. When the election was successful, he forgot everything he had said, sat in the office every day, drank coffee, watched TV, got off work on golf and yachts, and lived a very chic life, and when the election came for four years, he began to run sponsorship and solicit voters! Others serve as officials for the benefit of the locality, and they are all for the sake of the financiers and votes.
