(Thanks to my friend Zero、?、 mochax 2 monthly pass for encouragement)

After Liu Heming's careful observation and bold participation, he felt that Sasha still liked to play this "decoration game". The main thing is that she has two good friends, and in her opinion, the game official will give some constructive guidance.

It's just that this makes the designers of Kestrel Airlines, who are responsible for the decoration of his aircraft, a little big, and the design plan is a new one every day.

In the past, they communicated directly with customers and had a clear direction. Not this time, they need to cooperate with Liu Heming to trick their daughter-in-law into playing games, but even if it is troublesome, they have to cooperate.

Today is August 10th, Liu Heming and his large group of people gathered on Haya's plane again and flew directly to Helena, the capital of Montana. Today is the day of the auction in Xiangshui Town, and for Liu Heming, this is a major event of a lifetime.

The plane landed at the airport, and the Montana state government sent a vehicle to meet it. There are still a lot of reporters taking pictures outside, and for these reporters, today is also a big day.

Regarding the auction in Xiangshui Town, the Montana state government has also done enough publicity. In the early stage, it was to get more people involved, and now it is to make this auction a complete success. No matter what the transaction price of this auction is, who auctioned it, for Montana, this round of publicity has been made, and it has also solved its own heart disease.

Xiangshui Town is the heart of the state government, because a lot of money has to be invested in it every year. Don't look at the fact that there are not many residents living now, but the maintenance of various basic facilities and pipelines still needs to be funded by the state government.

"It seems that we have become stars this time, but I don't know how many newspapers will report on us in detail. Liu Heming hugged Alex and waved softly to these reporters.

"If we can really auction it, there will definitely be no shortage of related reports. Sasha said after giving him a smug look.

"Dexter, I thought you would come early today. Bauer, who had been waiting here early, greeted him and said.

"On such a big day, the mood is a little nervous. So it came out a little late, and everyone else arrived?" Liu Heming asked with a smile.

Bauer shook his head helplessly, where did he look half nervous? It was like catching up with the national leader's foreign visit.

"Grandpa Bauer, give you honey cakes. Alex, who was holding Liu Heming's arms, took out a small piece of honey cake from his small bag.

"Thank you Alex. Bauer happily took it.

Not only because this honey cake is really delicious, but also because it was given by the little guy Alex. And there are so many reporters here, such a scene is very representative.

"It seems that everyone is very confident in this auction. After getting into the car, Liu Heming said.

"Actually, I don't even understand why so many people are attracted here. But it's good news for us. Bauer said with a smile.

"But aren't you being too careful? You'll have to pay $10 million for the auction deposit alone. Liu Heming said with a smile.

"There is no way, this auction has attracted a lot of attention, and we don't want to have any omissions. And 10 million dollars isn't a very difficult thing for you rich people, is it?" Bauer continued, smiling.

"They are really rich, and I am also really rich, but they are in the sky and I am in the pit. Liu Heming complained.

"Don't worry, as long as you really take pictures of Xiangshui Town, and you will really invest in Xiangshui Town according to your plan, you will be given some preferential treatment in terms of corporate tax in the future. Bauer said.

"This is very good, how much can it be reduced for me? What about my personal income tax?" Liu Heming was interested.

"I can't be sure now, but whoever buys Xiangshui Town and makes a normal investment, there will be at least a 1% preferential corporate tax rate. There will also be some concessions when it comes to personal income tax. However, I suggest that you don't save taxes in this regard, anyway, if you want to invest in Xiangshui Town, you won't pay much. Bauer said with a smile.

The convoy came to the state office building, and there were also a lot of reporters gathered at the door here, and when Liu Heming and them got off the bus, a dazzling flash light turned on.

This time the Montana government was well prepared, and the auction was held in a small conference room without much tension.

However, Sasha and the others couldn't go in with Liu Heming, they were arranged to wait in the lounge outside, and only Liu Heming, the main owner, and Liu Yi, the lawyer, went in.

All the people are basically in this configuration, and after seeing Liu Heming come in, William, who came here one step ahead of him, glanced at him and turned his head.

"William, come on. But can our corn bet be cashed out in advance?" Liu Heming sat down next to William and said with a smile.

He was also a little nervous, this auction has too many things to do, not only his own development, but also the task. Among these people, he only knew William, so he had to tease him to relieve his tension.

"No one can be sure what the yield will be until the actual harvest arrives. William didn't even look at him, and said with his head down.

"Yes, I just like your unyielding character. Liu Heming gave him a thumbs up.

"Dexter, can you have a brief chat?" At this time, a person walked behind Liu Heming.

Liu Heming turned his head and saw that it was the biggest competitor he expected, Kroenke. He didn't know what Kroenke was talking to him about before bidding, but he still said politely, "Hello, Mr. Kroenke." ”

Kroenke sat casually and asked with a smile, "Mr. Dexter, I'm curious, why aren't your vegetables sold in partnership with Wal-Mart?"

"It's not that we don't want to work with Walmart, it's that Walmart's business strategy doesn't match our products. Liu Heming thought for a while and said.

"In Tajita we have a dedicated counter and they also set aside a separate section for our vegetables and fruits in the weekly product promotion. I guess it's hard for Walmart to do that, right?"

"Actually, it's not that there are no opportunities for cooperation. Kroenke thought for a moment and said.

"After the auction, we can talk. Although I have little involvement in the operation of Wal-Mart, I think there is still a possibility for us to work together. ”

"Tajita doesn't have as many stores as we do, and most of them are concentrated in cities on the west coast. Wal-Mart also has a lot of foreign stores, and I think it will be helpful for you to promote vegetables in the future. ”

"As long as you sign a contract with Tajita that isn't the exclusive agency in the United States, we all have a chance to work together, right? However, the auction is too time-consuming, and if you like red wines, I can exchange them with a good vintage from Château Lafite. ”

Liu Heming paused for a moment, Kroenke's thinking was too jumpy. Just now, I was talking to myself about cooperation, and now I have to exchange wine with myself.

"Well, if you really like to drink our mead, you can change some too. However, the quantity will not be very large, and the honey production will be reduced from next month. Liu Heming nodded.

"Then it's settled. Actually, my wife likes to drink a lot, and I'll go to your ranch after the auction is over. Let's change the five barrels first, I only have five good red wines left on the plane. Kroenke said with a smile on his face.

"I can't ask for that. Liu Heming smiled and nodded.

Now he thinks that Kroenke is a very good person, and most of the people who can think about his daughter-in-law are good people.

The interaction between the two also attracted the attention of the rest. However, in the whole scene, only the two of them chatted very hotly.

As the auction was about to take place, the Montana government once again showed the importance of the auction, and Montana Governor Steve Bullock personally came to speak.

Liu Heming was also paying close attention to the expressions of the rest of the people, and he could only say that these people were all old fritters, and you couldn't see anything on their faces. Even William, who was sitting next to him, stared at it for a long time without hesitation, and William was expressionless.

"Regardless of which one of you succeeds in the auction, we at Montana still expect the rest of us to come and develop. Bullock's words pulled Liu Heming's mind back again.

"Montana has a great place to do business in any state in the country. In the development of Xiangshui Town in the future, the state government will also provide a certain degree of help to everyone. ”

"Montana's tax rate is changing every year, but unlike other states, we're decreasing it every year. You are also welcome to participate in Montana's philanthropic efforts. ”

"Liu Yi, what does this mean? Is it possible to reduce taxes by engaging in charity?" asked Liu Heming in a low voice.

"It's true that it will be reduced, but it doesn't mean much to us, and the cost of doing charity will be higher than the tax reduction. Liu Yi said.

Liu Heming nodded, it seems that he thought badly, and he thought that he could reduce it one-to-one. But philanthropy has to be done. It's just that I still have a weak heart now, and I can do it with a small drum, but I can't play big actions.

"The auction lasts for 20 minutes, and everyone is welcome to join the reception after the auction. Bullock put down the microphone with that.

When Bullock's speech ended, everyone's spirits became tense.

The staff turns on the large screen in front of you, and the bidding price is displayed on it. Everybody has a little numeric keypad in front of them, and you can just type numbers into it.

They are all people with status, and they don't need to raise their cards to bid like other auctions.
