Chapter 119: The school collapsed
"Boss, aren't you very strange, why would I directly agree to let the little girl of the Clive family come to our manor?" Sitting in the car, lighting the fire, and driving out, Edward said to Jiang Hai.
In fact, just now, he saw that Jiang Hai was very puzzled, but he didn't say it explicitly, and now he can tell Jiang Hai.
"Why?" Seeing that Edward Anderson was willing to speak, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at him, speaking of which, although they had only been together for a few months, Jiang Hai still trusted these people in his manor.
Especially for Robbins and Edward, who are the ones who manage the other cowboys and fishermen.
When Jiang Hai first came to the United States, it was indeed not easy to deal with it if he didn't have a few henchmen around him, and these two old men were Jiang Hai's henchmen at present, and it was precisely because of this that Jiang Hai didn't ask directly just now.
"Looks like you don't care much about the latest news, boss!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward Anderson on this side laughed, and talked to Jiang Hai while driving.
"Don't you know that Boston has been hit by a snow storm this year?" Looking at Jiang Hai, Edward Anderson said with a puzzled expression.
"I know this, I heard that the merchants in the city have made a fortune from this." For what Edward said, Jiang Hai also saw it in the news, because Boston is located near the Atlantic Ocean, so it is rainy in summer and snowy in winter, and the same is true this winter, Boston's snowfall has broken through the limit of previous years, causing a lot of impact on transportation and the like, since the snow began to fall in November, until now, Boston's snowstorm warning has not been lifted.
But for Jiang Hai, a snow disaster or something is nothing, firstly, his houses are very strong, and secondly, when it snows, they always go to clean it up, although the snow on the roadside has accumulated to almost one and a half meters.
But for Jiang Hai's normal life, the snow disaster did not cause him any problems.
"Heh, that's in the Boston metropolitan area, Winthrop is not so lucky, several classrooms and gymnasiums in the town elementary school have been crushed by this year's snow, the mayor and the principal of the town elementary school have been in the town to raise donations for the town elementary school in recent days, but the effect is not too good, in ten days, school will start, they may be the most anxious now......" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward Anderson shrugged his shoulders and said slowly.
Jiang Hai seemed to have heard this news a few days ago, but he forgot it in a blink of an eye, for a fart like him, the previous life was to sweep the snow in front of the door by himself, and not ask others about the frost, and after coming to the US imperialism, he was the same.
As long as he is happy, as long as other people and things are taken care of him, then he is too lazy to care.
When it collapsed, it was probably in mid-December, but fortunately the school was already on holiday by then, so it only collapsed a few rooms, and there were no casualties, but for the townspeople, it was not good news.
In fact, when it comes to fundraising, the people of the United States are more generous and active than the people of other countries, of course, in addition to the issue of people's hearts, it is also related to the policies of the United States imperialism, because donations can be deducted from taxes.
And the amount of credit is very high, sometimes one dollar can be used to offset the tax of one dollar and fifteen cents, and it is precisely because of this that many of the rich people of the United States have the reputation of a philanthropist on their heads.
Because not only can it help them to make a name for themselves and spread the awareness of goodness, but it can also give them enough money financially.
It stands to reason that there are a lot of rich people in Boston, but these rich people don't need to care about the elementary school in Winthrop, and there are not many rich people in Winthrop.
In addition, the current economic situation is not very good, just with these ordinary townspeople, one person has one dollar knife, two dollars of dollars, and together they have only gotten a few thousand dollars, and they can't even build a classroom, let alone a gymnasium.
It can also be seen from here that the American imperialists are in a wring, this is not Jiang Hai standing and talking without backache, I think when he was in elementary school, the primary school was also very dilapidated, classes in winter, there was no heating, the windows were broken, it was covered with plastic sheeting in winter, until the third grade, after the school was renovated, the heating and new glass were replaced, but even so, every winter, they also need these students, to use the cloth strips in the house, as well as the paste they got to stain the gaps in the windows.
It was not until junior high school that there were plastic steel windows, so for Jiang Hai, it was not difficult to go to school.
But it seems that the people on the side of the US imperialists don't think so, no matter how hard they are, they can't be bitter about their children, this is their education policy.
Otherwise, it will not be built, and if it is built, it will be built as the best, and there is no such statement on the side of the US imperialists.
"And what do you mean by letting her come now? Do I want to make a donation? Hearing Edward Anderson's words, Jiang Hai nodded and asked a little strangely, he probably understood what Edward meant, it should be that he wanted to make a donation.
"Donate or not, how much to donate, in fact, it is up to you to say, but if you don't even give them a chance to convince you, it will deal a certain blow to your prestige in the town, to be honest, boss, now your reputation in the town is not too good......" shrugged his shoulders, Edward said to Jiang Hai.
Hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, it seemed to be like this.
Other rich people, after arriving in a place, will benefit the township, but Jiang Hai doesn't seem to have such a practice.
Normally, he stayed in his manor and didn't have any interaction with the people in the town, and the only time he had that he sent a dozen bastards in the town to jail, and almost destroyed the police station.
Although Jiang Hai can't be blamed for this matter, it is their responsibility, but they still can't make the residents of the town like Jiang Hai.
No matter where you invest, it's very important to build a good relationship with the locals.
Even in China, some bosses go to the countryside to build factories, and they need to have a good relationship with the people in the village.
Otherwise, it would not be a matter to come over and make trouble twice in three days, not to mention that Jiang Hai is still in the United States.
Since Jiang Hai came, it seems that for Winthrop's people, Jiang Hai has not done a good thing, as for the tax of the manor, it is the money collected by the government, and it has nothing to do with them, plus Jiang Hai's behavior is indeed a little bad.
This also makes Robbins, Edward, and them sandwiched between Jiang Hai and the residents, and there are some difficulties to do.
But fortunately, although Jiang Hai has not done anything good, he has not done anything bad, if the full value of favorability is one hundred, then Jiang Hai's current relationship with the residents of the town is forty-nine, basically still in a neutral state, but there are some bad reactions, and these bad reactions also come from the families of the bastards who were sent to prison by him.
"You're saying I should do something to change my impression of the townspeople?" After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Hai said to Edward Anderson, hearing what Jiang Hai said, Edward shrugged his shoulders undeniably, and he was just mentioning his opinion.
What to do, Jiang Hai still has the final say, of course, if Jiang Hai wants to resist to the end, maybe they will still stand on Jiang Hai's side now.
However, if it is really time for Jiang Hai and the townspeople to be incompatible, they may choose their own family and hometown more, at least Jiang Hai is not very sure about his personality charm.
"Okay, I'll hear it then." After thinking about it for a while, in fact, for Jiang Hai now, the money for repairing a few classrooms is nothing, the money for a classroom is calculated on the side of the US imperialists, that is, more than 10,000 US dollars, a few classrooms, plus a basketball court, 100,000 US dollars cannot be used, but Jiang Hai's current mind is still the original Xiaomin's mind.
Don't say it's 100,000 US dollars, even if it's 100,000 US dollars, if you give it to someone for no reason, then he is not willing or comfortable.
What's what's his, even if he doesn't want it and he destroys it, it's also his, and others are not allowed to rob it.
But if this money is to have a good relationship with the townspeople, to leave a good impression on the government, and most importantly, to deduct part of the tax, then Jiang Hai seems to be willing to do so.
Jiang Hai, who had been thinking about this matter in his heart, returned home after a short time.
The next day, after Jiang Hai had finished walking the dog and seen his horse, he drove to the town with Edward.
Today was the day to sign the contract with those fishermen, and Jiang Hai himself had made up his mind last night.
So today he didn't come in Edward's car, but drove his F650 into town himself.
"Hey, boss!" In front of the lawyer's office in the town, Jiang Hai saw a row of cars and parked there, when Jiang Hai and Edward's cars drove over, the people in these cars all jumped down, one or two people looked at Jiang Hai, needless to say that these people were the fishermen Jiang Hai had seen yesterday, and in addition to them, there were also their families, Jiang Hai said that their families could also live in the manor, which was a welfare.
Fishermen spend a lot of time all year round, are floating on the sea, but compared to cowboys, their income is indeed very high, not even less than those white-collar workers who work in companies, in this world, although money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible, with money, they also have a relatively stable family.
Unlike Robbins, except for a former seafarer, Philemon who has a wife, the others are either single or divorced, and these crew members are all with their wives, and even if they have children, they are embarrassed to take them.
