Chapter 876: Hunting Regulations
The government in the United States is actually very poor, it is really poor, not crying poor, unlike some county governments, crying that they are poor counties all day long, and as a result, the county government drives a car, all of them are Audis, Land Rovers or something, and they are embarrassed to say hello to their colleagues when they drive overbearing.

These so-called poor areas, that is, fools, maybe the common people are really poor, but the officials, hehe......
The blue sky is three feet high, but it is not a waste of fame, thousands of miles for officials are only for wealth, this sentence is actually true.
However, compared to this situation, the US government really does not have much money.
This is not pretending, it is true, at the time of the financial crisis, any department in the country can be said to have no.
But the government in the United States can be bankrupt, including the familiar White House, California, and so on.
Because there is really no money to speak of on the side of the United States, there may still be some water in the domestic finances of the United States, but the finances of the states and counties are completely transparent, and the real transparency is transparent, and the transparency is a little speechless.
And there are some people, old men and old ladies and the like, who gather in front of the state government all day long to count these things, and a manhole cover costs dozens of dollars more, and they will all go to raise flags to protest, plus the governors of various states and counties are elected, and there are different parties staring at them, to be honest, it is really not a very heart-wrenching thing to be an official or a civil servant in the United States.
Generally speaking, the proportion of the state government's expenditure on education is 7.6% of total income, the cost of highway maintenance, which is basically 1.2%, public welfare 23.6%, natural resources 14.2%, police 11%, prisons 19%, drainage 6.9%, etc., government pensions for retirees 12.7%, unemployment benefits for 0.4%, etc......
Of course, this is just an approximation, and the situation is different in every state, but it is quite transparent.
Every penny is spent in place, and the salaries of these civil servants, to be honest, are not too much.
Basically, the salary of civil servants at the bottom is about 36,000 US dollars a year, and they can't even get 40,000 yuan, but there are more police officers, and the salary of middle-level managers is only about 70,000 yuan a year, and the governor's salary is between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan.
Different states, the money is also different, the governor of California only has an annual salary of 200,000, let alone Massachusetts.
All people are willing to be officials, but to be honest, if there is no ambition and no power, in Jiang Hai's view, being an official in the United States is really not a flattering thing......
Even any civilian in the United States dares to point at the governor's nose and scold him for not doing well, if this is in the country, hehe......
What does it mean to pay attention to a single person who does not fight forces in China? It doesn't matter if you are rich on the ground or a ruthless person on the ground, you don't fight for power, which means that as long as you are a small squad leader at the yamen, you can be an enemy of him, and you can also destroy your whole family.
Unless you take advantage of tens of billions of dollars and find a good umbrella above, otherwise, what division chief and section chief below is enough to ruin your family, this is the gap between the official standard and the gold standard.
And in the United States, these officials have to scold these rich people, because they want to vote, they have to canvass votes, even if it is for show, they also want to do charity and the like, and their money has been stared at to death, so he needs some political donations.
And where does all this money come from? Naturally, it came out of the pockets of the rich, it's as simple as that.
This is also because of what, looking at Jiang Hai, he doesn't support any of the factions, but he is so rich, and he is the emperor of the soil in Winthrop! These people are counting on him to pay taxes so that he can pay his salary.
They calculate everything according to the percentage, not dead wages, Jiang Hai pays these hundreds of millions of taxes and does not pay these hundreds of millions of taxes, the difference is very different! It can be said that from the governor, down to the county magistrate, the police, the fire brigade, the retirees, even the unemployment benefits received by the unemployed on the street, there is Jiang Hai's money in it.
And this time, Jiang Hai went to the government of Massachusetts, and the main thing to discuss was to let tourists go hunting.
After this matter was reported, it was almost a hurdle in a day, the first day passed through Boston, without saying a word, agreed to hand it over to the state government, the second day the state government agreed, and sent it back to Boston, the third day Boston retried and agreed, and on the fourth day, Moses Adams was notified to come over to talk about this matter, and it seemed that they were much more anxious than Jiang Hai.
It is understandable that the hunting season in the Alabachian Mountains is only now, and when it snows heavily and the snow closes the mountains, you can't get in, because it will be dangerous to enter, and the prey can only be hunted now.
In summer, it is too hot, there are too many poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, and in spring, it is the season when animals give birth to cubs, so it is natural to protect them.
At this time, the autumn is almost over, so for such things that can increase the income of the state government, they have 1.2 million consents, not to mention just finding some instructors and the like, and supervision, for them, these are all okay, in this case, the two sides can be regarded as a hit.
After Jiang Hai got off the plane in Boston, Moses Adams followed him directly to the state government, and he had already talked to Jiang Hai in the car, and the specific implementation and negotiations were almost underway.
The whole tourist hunt is divided into three parts, the first registration, the second training, and the third hunting.
It's easy to say that signing up for this is that the mayor of Wallis originally meant that one person would have 200 US dollars, and he would go into the mountains to shoot two US dollars for one bullet, and the gun would be free, just like a gun shop, but after Jiang Hai heard this letter, he directly turned 200 US dollars into 2,000 US dollars.
Jiang Hai is well aware of the situation of the Chinese people, he is not a black countryman, but because of the two hundred US dollars, in fact, there is not much money, which is converted into soft sister coins, which is more than 1,200 yuan, and now the Chinese people can say that there are not many people who care about this money.
But two thousand dollars is different, this is more than 12,000, of course, this is the deposit for registration, not the money that is really to be deducted, if they violate discipline or something, they will deduct the money, if they don't violate, then only the basic money will be charged.
One bullet is still two US knives, but the gun was deducted by Jiang Hai for free, after all, this is not in the shooting range, it is good to maintain it all at once, and it is inevitable that it will not bump into the mountain, in case it is broken, both sides will not look good.
The gun is divided into three gears, shotguns, shotguns and semi-automatic rifles, the shotgun rent is fifty US dollars, and the damage is compensated according to the price, the shotgun is 100 US dollars, the semi-automatic rifle is 100 US dollars, and the fully automatic ones are not, and when I usually sleep at night, this gun is to be recovered.
It is impossible to stay only one day in the mountains, and at night it is natural that the guards will take the gun back.
Of course, these guns were provided by Winthrop, that is, Jiang Hai's gun shop, and the income had nothing to do with the state government.
In addition, there are clothes sold locally and the like, which have nothing to do with the state government.
These things are all earned by Jiang Hai and them, of course, the tax is another matter, and the tax is inevitable in the United States.
The state government and Winthrop talked about money, mainly in two aspects, on the one hand, the money for registration, of course, not the deposit, but simply the money for signing up, Jiang Hai is not ready to take these people to hunt for no reason, when the time comes, it will not be hunting, but going on an outing, so the only people who can go hunting are men, and each person has to pay 100 US dollars, which is the money to enter the mountain, and at the same time, 50 US dollars must be paid, 20 US dollars is insurance money, and 30 US dollars is the money for the nursing instructors and training money. Jiang Hai: The main thing they talked about was the money of one hundred and thirty dollars.
The state government means that the venue is provided by Winthrop, the hunting license is provided by the state government, and the personnel are also provided by the state government, and they have to take eighty percent of the money, but the mayor of Wallis town only gave sixty percent, and now Jiang Hai is asked to come over to discuss this matter.
In fact, in Jiang Hai's view, eighty percent and sixty percent actually have no money, eighty percent of a person is 104 US dollars, in Jiang Hai it seems that these are small money, in Jiang Hai's mind, he must have to play with guns when he enters the mountain, and 200 rounds of bullets are considered less.
This is 400 US US dollars, the prey hit, the small ones can be brought back directly, and the big ones are eaten on the spot without spending money, but if you shoot a deer or something, you must make it into a work of art and bring it back to China, the processing fee is calculated according to the deer A hundred US dollars is considered less, this is 500 US dollars, plus clothes, Jiang Hai deliberately entered a batch of military products, camouflage uniforms, helmets, military boots, water bottles, tactical vests, tactical backpacks or something, go into the mountains to play, you must have a set, this set is not expensive 300 US dollars, less than 2,000 soft girl coins to buy this set, Is the U.S. military's standard equipment expensive? It's definitely not expensive! Two thousand sets of camouflage in China may not be able to buy it!
This adds up to 800 US dollars, after deducting the cost, Jiang Haiguang is taking these people into the mountain, and the rest of the money is not wanted, one person earns at least 600 US dollars, ten is 6,000, 100 is 60,000, Winthrop is now about 3,000 domestic tourists a month, a group of 50 or 60 people, two groups a day, one-third of the people are going, that is the net income of 600,000 yuan, a year is 7.2 million yuan, although for Jiang Hai, these money are small money.
With this income, it is estimated that not only the county, but also the state government will have to be more grateful to himself!
Thinking of this, Jiang Hai couldn't help but laugh, he had already figured out this account in his mind, and when he went to the state government after a while, he would naturally be the right guy to be the right guy, and he really didn't care too much about these little money. (To be continued.) )
