As a super-rich man worth more than 10 billion US dollars, not much less than Ye Dongqing, he has his own bearing.

Others can be tempted by political donations, but this is not the case with Mayor Bloomberg, who has too much money of his own money to spend.

The reason why he came to be the mayor of New York City is mainly because he has no other pursuits, so he is still asking for hardships at this age, giving up the superior life that others dream of, and commuting to work by the subway every day like ordinary people, no one will doubt that he can't afford to buy a helicopter, or the most luxurious big yacht.

At the level of Michael Bloomberg, coupled with the fact that he specializes in financial news, how can he not know what is hidden in tens of thousands of so-called charitable trusts in the United States, which can be summed up as nothing more than the word "tax avoidance".

The tax rate of the rich is often lower than that of the middle class, and the inheritance tax is almost in name only, leaving such an operational loophole in the law, and no one even dares to make a fuss about it, if you want to plug this gap, no one can bear the consequences, and you are simply making enemies of the richest people in the country.

Bloomberg is no exception, he is not interested in caring about Ye Dongqing's "charity", just reminding that the tax payment is less, this sentence makes Ye Dongqing not know what to say, and said with an aggrieved smile: "According to the market price, I think it is acceptable for me to buy of course, and after the building is built, the real estate tax is indispensable, but I am ready to keep most of the floors for my own use, this piece can't let me spend more unjust money, I still have a butt of foreign debts that have not been repaid." ”

"Why, don't you plan to donate the building too?"

Seeing that there is such a Chinese business genius in New York, to be honest, Bloomberg is also impressed by him, he looked at the financial report of Tamsui Investment Group when Ye Dongqing almost had an accident before, and recently he has heard some news one after another, and understands that the debt is nothing compared to the rate of his wealth rising.

Although the old and the young have not met many times, Mayor Bloomberg often heard about things related to Ye Dongqing from others, probably because he felt young, and he was unscrupulously teased him at the moment.

“…… I will donate, but that must be a matter of the future, you don't know how pitted the real estate tax is, if I can deduct the tax, I can consider staying in the company, if I can rent it out, I can make money, but I use it myself, and the holding cost is so high that it makes me feel distressed. ”

Ye Dongqing told the truth, New York's real estate tax is as high as three percent, and most ordinary cities are only one percent, plus insurance, maintenance, etc., which is a large amount of expenditure every year.

Housing prices have risen and taxes have also risen, not necessarily more than three percent, not to mention that the depreciation of the dollar in recent years is not small, how to hold it is not a cost-effective deal, and the left hand to the right hand to donate out, rent does not need to pay taxes, real estate tax is also exempt, but this has to pay off the foreign debt before it can be implemented.

New York has many rich people and companies, but the poorest is the City Hall, which has had a lot of headaches about welfare and public spending since Bloomberg accepted this mess.

Seeing that Ye Dongqing was such a miser, his stomach was full of anger, because everyone was like this, so the tax bureau couldn't collect much tax, and in the end he could only shear the sheep from the poor middle class, Mayor Bloomberg Sr. rolled his eyes and called an official to ask the other party to talk to Ye Dongqing about specific things.

I chose a lot near the Hudson River, and asked for a total of 420,000 square meters of land, which is almost the size of two Empire State Buildings, mainly because I didn't want to get too close to other buildings and block the light on the lower floors.

The project needs about 300,000 square meters, and the rest can be built as an annex building, which can be rented or sold to the outside world, and you can also build a commercial complex.

The reason why he is so arrogant is because he asked Citibank, land purchase loans or something, they are all casual things, and even the funds for the construction of the building can be borrowed from them, and the interest rate is very low, the only requirement is that when Ye Dongqing decides to list those companies, the majority of them will be handed over to Citi's departments to complete, and the ownership of the building and land will be temporarily mortgaged to them.

Ye Dongqing was bored on weekdays, and finally had something he really wanted to do, so he agreed on the phone without saying a word, which was beneficial to both parties, and he didn't think that other banks could give better conditions.

At this moment, the price was calculated, about two billion dollars, and after the decision was agreed, it could not be obtained immediately, and it still needed to be discussed and decided by Bloomberg and others, and his request was to pay it off in four years, so as to reduce the interest on the loan, and the old mayor of Bloomberg was willing to help with this small favor, saying that he would consider it.

It shouldn't be much of a problem, after all, purchasing raw materials, hiring workers, or something can also add bricks and tiles to New York's economy, not to mention the $2 billion or so in land sales, you must know that in New York, where there is a lot of private land, the City Hall has not tried to make a lot of money by selling land for a long time.

********

After more than two hours of busy work at the city hall in Xiacheng, Ye Dongqing ran to the architectural design office and asked them to help revise the plan and bring the land drawings.

The construction of the building was a long way off, and the designer was even more sad than Ye Dongqing, a middle-aged white designer named Ted, who felt that he could not design a more dazzling building in his life than the Cobra Building.

As an architect, Ted's ultimate dream is to design a landmark building that will attract the attention of the world, which was about to be realized, but was delayed by Ye Dongqing's temporary change of fortune.

A few months passed, just when Ted thought that the project was yellow, Ye Dongqing appeared in front of him again, his face was suddenly full of surprise, and when he heard that he was about to get the land, he was almost so excited that he jumped up, and hurriedly asked: "The project will start this year?" Are you sure this is true, right?"

"Hmm...... The building seemed a little cooler than I thought it would be, and I loved it. ”

Ye Dongqing is standing in front of the delicate model of the building, almost a meter high, made of metal and dark glass, and even glows as he imagined, his eyes light up when he shines, and his body is an angular geometric pattern, which can be seen to be very careful in the production, giving him the illusion that he is being stared at by a real cobra, which is very exciting.

He added: "But I bought a lot of land, so I hope you can design a building complex, and there is still about 100,000 square meters of land left, how about building two small Cobra buildings of about 100 meters......?
