"Mr. Li, do you want to go eat something first?" Jiang Jian saw Li He staring at the inside of the ward, and kindly reminded, "Mr. Wu will not be okay for the time being. ”

"Just find a restaurant. "From getting off the plane to now, Li He has always been on an empty stomach.

The sun came out, and although the fog did not have astigmatism, it was possible to get a rough idea of what New York was really like.

Li He, who is a first-time visitor to New York, can't believe how dirty and chaotic it is, with pedestrians, bicycles, bicycles, and rickshaws running side by side, and fast food garbage, cans and bottles, and messy shopping bags.

Halfway through, a small mouse sprang out of the ground.

After all, he had been to Washington before, and the impression was very good, clean, and the greenery was outrageously good.

"Mr. Li, you haven't seen the subway underneath, it's dirtier and messier, full of graffiti, garbage and homeless people. "Jiang Health Care has been a regular traveler between the United States and Europe over the years, and he is a veritable trapeze.

It's not surprising that Li He thinks about it, after all, New York has the world's largest landfill, and the Flès River has basically been filled in.

Such a group of white, black, and yellow ethnic groups did not attract much attention on the street, and it was the long line of luxury cars that attracted attention.

This kind of luxury fleet is not uncommon in New York, but it is not common.

The reason why Ivanov is completely mixed in the United States, the first is that he is white enough, and the racial discrimination of Americans is carefully graded, the highest is of course the Anglo-Saxon white, followed by his Eastern European white, Erlao white, Eastern European white river Western European white.

Even more so are the yellow race and the black, and the Jews are more special, and generally occupy a position in the middle.

As long as it is white enough, there is no problem in the mainstream circle in the United States, and there are many Russians who mix well in the United States.

For example, Leondo, Portman, Jovovich, Harrison Ford, Sergey Brin, Blavatnik, and the Warner brothers.

Moreover, after he came to the United States, he did not simply huddle among Belarusians, but deliberately approached the former Soviet Union and united all the forces that could be united.

At the same time, the characteristics of the capitalist state of the United States can determine that he lives very quickly, comfortably, and will not be rejected wherever he goes.

Jiang Jian knew that Li He was not used to eating Western food, so he specially instructed the driver to go to Chinatown.

The car enters New York's Lower East Side's Chinatown, which is even more stale and dirty.

A traditional one-store, a grocery store where the owner sits at an intricately carved old-fashioned table and manages the accounts, one after the other.

In addition to grocery stores, there are most restaurants, and there are basically all kinds of domestic dishes.

The "post office shop", which was used to write letters and remittances due to the low literacy rate of the Chinese people, is still doing thriving business

In addition to the shops lining the streets, including basements, there is also a long list of bunks erected on the sidewalks, mainly because they cannot afford the expensive rent.

After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, more and more Chinese have poured in, and they usually use this place as their first stop to the United States, and the total number of Chinese has a faint tendency to surpass San Francisco.

Li Hetu was quiet, and did not enter a large Chinese restaurant with luxurious decoration and a boiling life, but a small Chinese restaurant with many foreigners.

"Chinatown's main supporting industries are the garment industry and catering, more than half of the Chinese in the United States are doing this, but the U.S. economy has declined in the past two years, and you also know that our domestic textile industry has had a severe impact in the past two years, and the garment factories in this area are not very good, and there are more and more restaurants, and even the neighboring Brooklyn has 100 Chinese stores, mainly because the threshold is low, and no skills are required, and more than half of the Chinese here do not speak English, and other industries can't do it. After Jiang Health sat down, he asked for a pot of boiled water from the waiter, filled Li He's teapot, and then continued, "Whether we Chinese or foreigners like to come to eat, not because the dishes are good, but because they are cheap, a meal in a Western restaurant, it costs twenty or thirty at will, and a lunch box in a Chinese restaurant is only five or six pieces." ”

Li He smiled, small profits and quick sales are in the bones of the Chinese, what the Chinese sell cheaply, what they buy is expensive, this is the afterword.

"What happened to Wu Bo?"

It was Ivanov who asked, but his eyes were on Jiang Health.

Ivanov was about to speak English, but Li He immediately interrupted, "Speaking Russian." ”

"Mr. Wu lives in an apartment in Brooklyn, where security has always been good, so Mr. Wu refused to let our people follow him after staying here for a while, saying that he would only like to be with his own employees. Mr. Wu lives with five employees of the company, the day before yesterday he went downstairs to buy cigarettes, his colleagues saw that he did not come back, so they came down to look for him, only to find that he had been sent to the hospital, according to the preliminary judgment of the police, it may be a robbery, what happened, need to wait for him to wake up to know, but Mr. Li, don't worry, I have sent someone to investigate. ”

Bafra translated it in English, and then Jiang Health followed up in Chinese.

"Then wait until he wakes up. Only Wu Bo himself knew best, and Li He immediately asked Ivanov, "How is your real estate business in New York?"

Li He's basic idea now is in the real estate sector, and he is laying out both domestic and foreign at the same time.

Shen Daoru, Yu Dehua, Chen Lihua's real estate projects in the UK and Hong Kong have begun to take shape, and domestic real estate projects are still in an accumulation period, and it may take a few years for the real outbreak to break out.

Only Ivanov's side did not know too well what the situation was, and only bought the Rockefeller Building when he knew it.

"Excellent, very good!"

When Pavra translated, he deliberately imitated Ivanov's exaggeration and excitement, which caused everyone to laugh.

"Sunset Park, Williamsburg, and Berry & Gall have seen 2% growth this year, including the plot we just acquired in Queens, which is expected to build 513 condo units. ”

"What stage have you entered?" Li He is also blind to the real estate industry in the United States, and he has no understanding at all.

"It has entered the demolition stage. "Pavra has been following Ivanov for a long time, and there are some things that she can answer herself.

"There's nothing wrong with that, is it? The direction unconsciously interjected, purely out of curiosity.

Li He explained with a smile, "The only sacrosanct thing in the United States is taxes!"

"What do you mean?" the direction was puzzled, "This is different from China, people's private property can't be demolished just like that, right?"

Seeing Li He and others suddenly talking in Chinese, Ivanov and others were also puzzled, because they couldn't understand it at all.

Li He said with a smile, "There is a little difference between the United States and our country, that is, there is no word nail household, because it cannot afford to be a nail household." ”

Jiang also added, "There is a property tax in the United States, and you have to pay taxes not only when you buy a house, but also every year after that. The standard for imposing property taxes varies from state to state and from county to city, ranging from 1% to 3% and changing annually based on the budget needs of local governments. Generally, it is paid once a year. ”

"I bought this house in my own hands, why do I have to pay taxes every year later?" Direction could not understand this kind of thinking of the Yankees, although he was also highly educated.

"Not only do you have to pay taxes, but if you take out a loan to buy a house, you also have to take out home insurance, which is also a lot of money." If the homeowner stops paying taxes, the ownership of the house belongs to the U.S. government, and when the tax arrears and penalty interest penalties reach a certain level, the local government can take a lien on the property in arrears and auction the property. ”

Xiang He laughed, "What about the farmer's land?"

Jiang Jian said, "I have just been here a few times, in order to learn more about the United States, I have asked a lot, but not much, I don't know about taxes, but like in the city, I am not at ease, and I am under the control of others, such as New York, what trees to plant in front of and behind the house, what flowers to raise, you can't make your own decisions, the pasture is the same, what the house looks like, what look, what height, whether to plant corn or wheat in the field, the relevant departments have the final say, and they all require unification, otherwise they will be punished." ”

"So a lot of Americans can afford to buy a home, but they can't necessarily afford it. When the meal was served, Li He first sandwiched a piece of chicken and frowned, probably unpalatable, but continued, "So the United States is the country with the most frequent moves in the world, and generally likes to move to a remote place or a location with low property taxes, especially the retired elderly, who like to move the most, in order to reduce expenses, they generally change a large house to a small house." ”

When European immigrants came to North America, there was a famous slogan: where there is bread, there is the motherland. ”

Modern Americans have inherited this ethos, moving their homes wherever property taxes are low.

"Then some houses can't be demolished casually, right?" The direction felt that Jiang Jian and Li He had diverted the topic, and broke it back.

Jiang Jian said, "That's simple, add real estate tax, according to the law, every few years to reassess the price of housing prices, recalculate taxes, there is a department in the United States that specializes in housing price assessment, if the housing price assessment is high, you really can't afford to live, and some methods drive you away." Moreover, the land expropriation system in the United States is relatively tough, and the government has the right to expropriate land, as long as the government is expropriating land for public purposes and compensating the original landowner at a suitable market price, land expropriation is irresistible. There are two iron rules in the United States, one is not to mess with taxes, and the other is not to mess with the police. ”

"That's right. Li He couldn't help but smile when he heard it.

What kind of 'private property is sacrosanct' jokes are licked out by domestic Muyang dogs, there is no such thing in the US Constitution, nor is there in the European Constitution, only the French made a few words when they rebelled.

Regardless of the country or regime, the manifestation of the will to power is a symbol of a country's sovereignty and a tool of the ruling class.

Do you dare to try the government's inappropriateness?
