Christmas is here again.

This is Jiang Hai's second Christmas in Winthrop, but compared to the first Christmas, this time his Christmas is much more fun than the original, at least there are more people than before, not only there are more people around him, but also many more people in the manor.

December 24th, Christmas Eve, according to the annual custom, this time is also a holiday day in all major regions of the United States.

Just like the Spring Festival in China, Christmas also needs to be a holiday, and Christmas and the Spring Festival are still connected.

Basically, at this time, children will take at least half a month off, and some working adults will also take about a week.

On the 23rd, a lot of people came to Jiang Hai's manor, including the two sons of Philemon Turner, who had been here last year.

But when I came last year, it was two couples, but when I came this year, there was only one couple, the eldest son still came with his wife, but the younger son's one had broken up, and in addition to Penelope also came, but only on the 23rd, after coming to take a look at Burke Dale, he left, unlike Philimon's two sons, who will stay here until the end of the New Year.

On the 23rd, Jiang Hai held a party in his villa at night, and it was not quite right to say that it was a party.

It's more like an annual meeting, while summarizing this year, we are also looking forward to next year, of course, the indispensable thing is to give the year-end bonus.

This year, Jiang Hai's manor, although the fish goods have not been listed in large quantities, but lobsters or something, with the promotion of tourists, have also made a lot of money, within three months, Jiang Hai is not counted as the town's income, just the money he sells lobsters, it is enough to have 1.35 million US dollars, of course, in addition to lobsters, abalone, sea cucumbers and the like are also counted in this.

Of the 1.35 million US dollars, Jiang Hai left 1 million, and the remaining 350,000 was given to these fishermen as a reward.

Jiang Hai had a total of five sailors, Edward Anderson, Tommy Charles, Enor Ceci, Andrew Christian, and Maren Rupert, each of these five people shared 70,000 US dollars, of course, the money is to be taxed, it is up to them.

When the seven checks were handed over to the seven men in the envelope, they were almost unable to see with a smile.

This is real money in addition to salary, and they have almost done nothing this year, and they have already earned almost 200,000 US dollars.

This kind of income was unimaginable before, and those fishermen who have their own boats, it is uncertain whether they have such a high income in a year, not to mention that they still have to repair boats, hire sailors, and pay higher taxes, unlike them, this is pure income.

In this regard, they are even more looking forward to how high their income will be when they can start fishing in March next year.

In addition to sailors, Jiang Hai is the most profitable here, but his ranch and those cowboys are naturally the top priority.

Jiang Hai's year-end bonus is calculated according to the total income, and the fishermen only earn more than one million, so he collects a whole number.

But the number of the ranch is a bit fierce, Jiang Hai sold a total of 12,459 cattle last year, which is recorded in detail.

The average price of each cow is 142,550 dollars, and the total income is 1,776,030,450 dollars, which is a lot of taxes to be paid.

With a federal tax of 38.6 percent, George Bush is a very jerk president of the United States in the eyes of his countrymen, but in the United States, he is very popular.

It is because after he took office, he reduced the tax of 0.5 percent to the American people, and the tax in the United States is divided into five levels, and the lowest level does not need to be paid, and after Bush Jr. took office in 2002, the annual income is different, and the tax rate paid is also different.

In addition to not paying, some pay 27%, some pay 30%, the annual income is more than 50,000 US dollars, and those less than 130,000 US dollars have to pay 35%, Jiang Hai's income must be more than 130,000 US dollars, so he has to pay the highest grade 38.6%.

In addition to the 38.6% federal tax, he also needs to pay 2% social security tax, regardless of whether he enjoys the social security services of the United States in the future, but this money must be paid, as well as real estate tax, housing, car use tax, of course, these are small money, real estate tax is the same as last year, about 6 million US dollars, car use tax hundreds of thousands of lazy to count.

Massachusetts state tax, 5%, local tax rate is not required to pay, because there is no local tax rate.

That is to say, in April next year, with now, Jiang Hai's annual income this year will have to pay 45.6% tax.

According to the figures reported by Moses Adams, the tax rate is about 809.87 million, plus the tax on the house, adding up to about 815 million, but he does not have to pay all of the money.

Because of the relationship between the federal encouragement of agricultural and sideline products, he has a tax rate reduction of 3.5%, plus a local government-manor financial subsidy of 1.2%, a local government-government fishery subsidy of 1.5%, a federal financial subsidy of 2%, a breeding feed subsidy, etc., these things have reduced the tax rate by 8.5% for Jiang Hai, that is, Jiang Hai only needs to pay a total of 37.1% tax rate, that is, he has to pay more than 658.9 million.

Counting the money for the house and car, it is about 600 million and less than 70 million, although it is still a lot, but it is not bad.

More than half of the money is to be turned over to the federal government, and about 30 percent is sent back to the local state.

The Massachusetts state government is about 20 percent, Boston is 5 percent, and Winthrop is 5 percent.

According to Mayor Wallis, Winthrop will probably receive more than 30 million of Jiang Hai's taxes.

It is not a problem to say that Jiang Hai fed Winthrop, and there will be 30 million tax revenues next year, which is an out-and-out good thing, and it is no wonder that Mayor Wallis would take such a fancy to Jiang Hai.

Of course, Jiang Hai could not give bonuses to the cowboys according to the percentage of the fishermen.

But it must be a little, Jiang Hai has a total of five cowboys, Robbins Garcia, Burke Dale, Philemon Turner, Harriman Firth, Bell Lester, these five people's income this year is more than 300,000 US dollars, and today, Jiang Hai gave one of them another 200,000, 500,000 US dollars a year's income, not to mention that they thought about it before, they have not even heard of it.

Robbins Garcia and they're happy, Bell and Harriman are going crazy, especially Bell.

When he retired from Delta State, he went to be a cowboy, but he was ridiculed by many people, although they didn't dare to laugh at him in front of him, but in the town, his reputation was not very good, until he met Jiang Hai, he didn't know what a real cowboy was.

Seeing that his father accepted the check for 200,000 US dollars, the two sons of Philemon Turner here, it was impossible not to blush.

But it's a pity that there is no other place in the manor now for them to intervene, and they still regret it.

Why didn't you hug Jiang Hai's thighs last year? What a failure......

In addition to the cowboy and the fisherman, Jiang Hai also gave a lot of benefits, for example, although there is no wine yet, but this year's Dulles Gerard and O'Connor Murphy, who are also very hard-working, after the wine, they will naturally get a reward, but this year Jiang Hai also prepared a red envelope for them, a check for 50,000 US dollars, although it is not much, but it also makes these two people quite grateful.

Afra and the others naturally will not be less, 100,000 US dollars each, which makes these girls get together and have begun to study what to buy.

There is no woman who does not love beauty, especially when there is a person who pleases herself.

Since that night, something happened to Jiang Hai and Bernice that shouldn't have happened, although Jiang Hai was kicked out of the room by the relieved Bernice in the middle of the night and rushed back to her room to sleep, but as she said, she no longer cares about the affairs between Jiang Hai and Afra, Afra and the others can freely enter and leave Jiang Hai's villa, and they can also stay here at night.

It's just that every night, before Jiang Hai returns to the room, Bernice will find him to go to his room and have a good 'talk'.

Afra didn't say anything about it, because they didn't care about it.

And Xiaoya and Bernice, who are two little rich women, Jiang Hai did not fall behind, their money was theirs, and what Jiang Hai gave was given by Jiang Hai.

Xiaoya is Jiang Hai's chief chef here, and she has been cooking for so long, and she has no credit and hard work.

Bernice is Jiang Hai's doctor here, and she usually comes to her for a headache and brain fever.

So Jiang Hai gave them a check, after all, the relationship between the three of them, some, cough, so Jiang Hai gave one million.

Bernice and Xiaoya were not polite, Jiang Hai gave them and took them.

Azarina and Connathan Peters, this is Jiang Hai's bodyguards, and they naturally will not be left behind.

Azalina received a million dollars in addition to her salary as a year-end bonus, and Connathan also received a million.

However, after Conason got the money, he was a little confused, because he didn't know what to do with the money.

In the past, his money was controlled by his economic people, that is, those buddies, and he was only responsible for boxing.

I came here to find Jiang Hai to repay his kindness, and now that Jiang Hai has given him money, he really doesn't know what to do.

Usually, what Jiang Hai eats here is food and clothing, and Jiang Hai also prepared it for him, whether it is sports, what he wears when he goes out, etc., all living items are also very complete, so he doesn't know what to do with money.

The only people in the villa who didn't receive money were Dalena and Marianne, who called these two little girls, although they were fifteen, oh, they would be sixteen in a few days, but they didn't help much? Of course, there is no money, but there are a lot of gifts......

happily divided the money, Jiang Hai and their holiday atmosphere was even stronger, and they got together on the 23rd.

On the twenty-fourth, early in the morning, Jiang Hai and the others went to the forest, cut down a few small trees to be used as Christmas trees, and after going back, they dressed up well, with the help of natural energy, the trees in this forest grew quite fast.

Grow fast, set seeds quickly, set seeds quickly, the coverage area of the forest is naturally faster, Jiang Hai also went to the forest when cutting down trees, but only saw the mountain lion family, the anaconda and the crocodile Jiang Hai did not see, it may be hibernating.

Snakes are going to hibernate, Jiang Hai knows very well, but do crocodiles also want to hibernate? Uh, well, let's just assume it's going to hibernate too, I didn't see it anyway.

Although it is winter, the mountain lion family is doing better, and the number of turkeys, pheasants, and hares in this forest is innumerable.

And the big predators are the only ones, so they have something to eat, so there is no need to worry about this.

It took a whole day to decorate the Christmas tree, and Christmas Eve on the 24th also came, and Jiang Hai won't say much about the origin of the three days of Christmas, after all, it was explained last year, because Jiang Hai is not religious, in fact, no one in his villa is religious.

So on Christmas Eve, they don't go to do any Mass or anything like that, just everyone eats and drinks together, and Christmas Eve passes.

And this night, Afra and the others also lived in Jiang Hai's villa, and eight people were squeezed into the entire villa at once, a total of people

The next day was Christmas in a blink of an eye, and when Jiang Hai walked under the Christmas tree in the morning, he found that it was full of gifts.

This is also the Christmas habit of Europeans and Americans, who will give gifts to each other, Jiang Hai naturally gave everyone to them, and he also received gifts from everyone in his room, Dalena gave a pair of gloves, which she personally hooked, although it was a little rough, but a piece of heart.

Marianne sent a scarf, and Bernice sent a fur hat, just like a domestic animation, the kind of leather hat with a strong bald head, which was very popular in the Northeast many years ago, uh, the specific time, probably in the time period when the king covered the tiger......

Basically, everyone sends these small things, because to be honest, all people are not short of money, send some precious things, some are unnecessary, if you say that among the things sent, the most valuable thing is the thing sent by Azalina, she gave Jiang Hai an AUG magazine.

However, it is not the five-round magazine that Jiang Hai buys, but a 30-round magazine, you know, you can't buy 30-round magazines in the American government, and above the black market, 30-round magazines are much more expensive than guns.

Jiang Hai still liked this gift quite a lot, so he went upstairs to get a gun and went outside to fight a fight.

Then everyone began to be busy, preparing for tonight's Christmas dinner, which is the same as the Chinese New Year's dinner during the Spring Festival, but it is quite important, naturally, Jiang Hai's head chef Xiaoya deservedly became today's chef.

No one will feel wrong about this, but when cooking, Xiaoya has been glancing at Jiang Hai with her eyes...... (To be continued.) )
