Chapter 1080 The King of Data Fraud
The shaking of the plane's landing woke up several people in the cabin who were asleep.
"Uncles, it's here!" Yang Meng opened the cabin and took a big breath of fresh air. Now the cabin is full of cigar smells.
Xiao Peng opened his eyes and stretched: "Where are we now?"
"A seaside near Arecibo, Puerto Rico. It is more than a hundred kilometers from San Juan. Yang Meng turned off the instruments on the plane and said, "You two boys, hurry up and go ashore! Once you go ashore, you will be able to enter the Stars and Stripes Country! Remember to go to the immigration officer." β
When Martin's two sons heard this, they quickly took their backpacks and took Isabel ashore.
"What about you, Mr. Shaw?" Moore asked.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "We, we won't be with you." For some reason, we can't go as long as we're on the side of the Stars and Stripes. We found a place to buy some gas and left. Moore, what are you going to do?"
Moore said, "My friend is in Aguadilla, we're going there!"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Mengzi, why did you arrive so easily?"
Yang Meng shrugged: "These small countries in Central America, with a population of millions are big countries, how can there be any army or anything like that, this Puerto Rico is a colony of the Stars and Stripes, and there is no army, coming here is like going home." Shall we just go? Why don't we have fun here? At least we can watch 'No. 1' and No. 2 go to the immigration office! That's called responsibility, isn't it?"
Xiao Peng glanced at him: "Don't come to this set, don't you just miss a girl!"
Yang Meng was poked in the heart and nodded: "Aren't you talking nonsense! I didn't sleep with a girl after Mexico saw you, isn't this torture? I finally got a girl to sleep with in Cuba, but we ran awayγγγγγγ β
"Why don't you play in Haiti?" Xiao Peng asked.
"I'm afraid of winning the bid. Yang Mengdao is also sincere.
Xiao Peng grinned: "Okay, count your kid telling the truth, then okay, let's take these little ones to San Juan together." But we don't have much time, it's about to be the rainy season, and if that's the case, we can't fly with our little plane!"
Yang Meng gave a thumbs up: "Okay, listen to you!"
After hearing this, Moore said, "Mr. Xiao, we are going to Aguadia, and Isabel can only take the water route to the Stars and Stripes Country." Otherwise, let's go with you to San Juan and then to Aguadia, do you think that's going to work?"
Before Xiao Peng could answer, Moore had already commanded: "Lawson, go get a car!"
Lawson staggered away after hearing this: "Leave it to me." β
Xiao Peng didn't stop them. Yang Meng was worried, and whispered to Xiao Peng: "What about the plane?"
"So you can't be burdensome? Put it here, I'll take it back when I have a chance. Xiao Peng replied.
After hearing this, Yang Meng took out the steel cable and fixed the plane to the shore: "I hope we can still see this plane when we come backγγγγγγ β
Lawson didn't return about an hour later, driving a van. Well, except for the one that rings when the bell doesn't ring, it's called a tattered one. Anyway, there's enough space for everyone to fit in. Lawson drove along the seaside road all the way to San Juan.
To be honest, the scenery of Puerto Rico is really beautiful. The old buildings are made of stone, which is also because of the annual hurricane season------ ordinary houses simply can't bear it.
However, the new building is still mainly brick and tile, which is too small for a hurricane in the Caribbean. Last year, Category 4 Hurricane Maria swept through Puerto Rico, destroying countless buildings. As a result, after the hurricane, Puerto Rico officially announced that only 64 people had died, and for a time the world was preaching that Puerto Rico had something to learn from before dealing with the hurricane.
Especially in the Stars and Stripes, Hurricane Katrina killed more than 1,200 people in 05, look at Puerto Rico!
You know, in the Stars and Stripes Country, no matter how poor people are, they will laugh at Puerto Ricans (see the American drama "Bankruptcy Sisters", which ridicules Puerto Ricans when they have nothing to do), saying that they are poor, lazy, educated, and because they enjoy the benefits of the Stars and Stripes Country, everyone here has children in a litter, and there are few people who really work, and the government is bankrupt.
This is the difference between a biological mother and a stepmother. At that time, Detroit, the Stars and Stripes, became the largest municipal bankruptcy case in the Stars and Stripes because of $18 billion in arrears, and Puerto Rico owed $73 billion! When Detroit went bankrupt and liquidated, the federal government of the Stars and Stripes paid for them in various ways, but when Puerto Rico went bankrupt, it didn't matter!
Raising Puerto Rico is enough of a headache for them! The welfare of the Stars and Stripes has caused Puerto Ricans to not work at all, but to eat and drink anyway, and more than half of the people in Puerto Rico live on food welfare. Every day is to hang and play on the beach, which has brought huge financial pressure to the government of the Stars and Stripes, and now they are still paying for their $73 billion in arrears?
I didn't expect that such a country that made them laugh at it could do so well in the face of hurricanes? What a miracle! At that time, the Stars and Stripes country was close to launching a patriotic campaign to learn from Puerto Rico.
A team led by Harvard University went to Puerto Rico to conduct an investigation and estimated that at least 4,645 people died when this 'Mary' was wantonly destroying Puerto Rico! At this time, Puerto Rico could not sit still and hurriedly came forward to explain: 'Our original calculation was wrong, and more than 64 people died, but it was definitely not like the 4,645 people that Harvard said, but in fact only 2,975 people died, less than 3,000 peopleγγγγγγ β
The data is falsified to this, Puerto Rico is the first in the world!
But Xiao Peng doesn't care about these things, the headache is the Stars and Stripes Country and not Huaxia, what he cares about is the scenery here, which is really beautiful. Many of the buildings are in the style of Spain, and they are both Spanish colonies in Cuba, but the buildings here are much better preserved, after all, there has been no 'revolution' here, a beautiful γγγγγγ Colony!
However, the climate is not very good when Xiao Peng came here, and when it comes to the rainy season in Puerto Rico, it is either a violent storm or a big sun to deathγγγγγγ
But as a colony of the Stars and Stripes, it is really convenient to live here, you can come directly with the mobile phone of the Stars and Stripes, and spend US dollars to get around here with a Stars and Stripes driver's license. To be honest, Xiao Peng didn't understand, with such a good scenery and a proper tourist resort in Puerto Rico, how could he play bankrupt?
In fact, to put it bluntly, Puerto Rico's bankruptcy is still caused by the Stars and Stripes Country, where the crisis is very similar to Greece, and coincidentally the timing of the default is almost the same, so to speak, Puerto Rico is the Greece of the 'Stars and Stripes Country'.
Unlike Greece, however, Puerto Rico's debt is mainly held by Stars and Stripes hedge funds, mutual funds and other investment institutions. Therefore, once Puerto Rico defaults, the financial market of the Stars and Stripes will also be greatly affected, which is likely to seriously affect the economic recovery of the Stars and Stripes.
Once Puerto Rico, thanks to its close relationship with the Stars and Stripes, it became a benchmark for economic growth, and a poor, predominantly agrarian society was transformed into a manufacturing factory in the Stars and Stripes.
Moreover, the great policy given to Puerto Rico by the Stars and Stripes is that there is no need to pay federal, state, and local taxes on investing in Puerto Rico's various bonds, which is commonly known as the 'three tax breaks', and the Puerto Rican government has relied on this to obtain sufficient financing, but also accumulate a large amount of debt. But since 1996, the Stars and Stripes have begun to cancel this tax exemption policy, so from 1996 to today, more than half of Puerto Rico's manufacturing factories have disappeared------ who has traveled so far to build factories without tax cuts?
In addition, Puerto Ricans enjoy better benefits than in the Stars and Stripes, which also means that people here are idle at home unless they can get a well-paid jobγγγγγγ
So it's not surprising that such a good place has been made like this.
Of course, there are not without disadvantages here, for example------ there are many mosquitoes. The car ran to San Juan, and there were no less than hundreds of mosquito carcasses on the windshield. Without mosquito repellent, you really can't survive here.
And Xiao Peng also feels average about the food here, standard Caribbean style, such as the Puerto Rican specialty 'Mofungo', which can be understood as seafood oden, as well as paella with green beans, lobster rice, etc., and it is not interesting to eat too much.
However, although the government is bankrupt, the people here have no pressure to live, anyway, they enjoy the benefits of the Stars and Stripes, and they walk leisurely one by one.
There was no sound of dance music on the street, and many people danced salsa to the music, and had a fight with the square dance team in China.
It's definitely a great place to relax and unwind.
However, Xiao Peng had no intention of staying here for long, they were in a hurry now, and they should leave before the weather changed.
But the more anxious you are, the more troublesome it is. The identity of Martin's two sons is not so simple------ after all, Puerto Rico is not a country of stars and stripes, so it is difficult to go through the formalities for the two guys to enter the country of stars and stripes.
They have no experience, Cuban immigrants all go directly to the mainland of the Stars and Stripes, how can anyone come to Puerto Rico?
But Puerto Rico will also do things in all aspects, who let them call themselves the fifty-first state of the Stars and Stripes, so they are very active in contacting the Stars and Stripes side. The Stars and Stripes were dumbfounded, how can this Nima be counted? I naturally support you smuggling into our country, but what are you doing in Puerto Rico?
So all sides began to quarrel, and the brothers just threw it aside. That's good, at least there is no problem with identity.
