6. Be the mayor of the town (tomorrow on the list)
Soon, our town is going to usher in the second week, and there will be another chapter in the early hours of this morning, and it will start to hit the list tomorrow, I hope you can support it. ****
"In fact, you see, the land on which the sun never sets is fertile, the scenery is beautiful, and the location is good - with the famous twin lakes right behind it. If this territory is well developed and developed as a small town, it may be the next Queenstown. Charlie said with regret.
Wang Bo regretted even more, if the Roberts family made the territory into an excellent town, then he would be happy, and inheriting a mature town was much better than a wasteland.
On the way, he already understood that because this was a noble land, not a simple personal land, he did not need to pay a penny of inheritance tax to the New Zealand government to receive this land. That is, he received a thousand square kilometers of fertile soil and the inheritance of a nobleman without spending a penny!
Thinking of the legacy left by Sir Roberts, Wang Bo became excited again, and asked expectantly: "In addition to this territory and this castle, what else did Sir leave behind?" ”
Charlie shrugged and said: "Maybe it's hundreds of thousands of bad debts, nothing else, Jazz's economic situation in his later years is not good, in fact, the last two or three generations of the Roberts family are guarding a territory, and they don't have much money." ”
After hovering over the territory of the Sunset Territory for a while, the helicopter flew away, and Charlie had to take Wang Bo to the court in the city of Omarama to sign for the inheritance, otherwise it would be illegal for them to stay here. Because this land does not currently belong to Wang Bo, and New Zealand emphasizes the sanctity of private property, they cannot enter other people's private land.
The city of Omarama is a small city with a population of only 20,000 or 30,000, so it would be nice to say that it is a larger town. In fact, all but a few large cities in New Zealand have very small populations.
This small city is the closest city across the sun, Wang Bo asked if there is no need for any formalities to sign for the inheritance, Charlie replied that as long as there is a court review, because he does not have to pay inheritance tax, there is no need for the tax bureau to intervene, so as long as the court verifies his identity, he can get the inheritance.
"I am Chinese, not New Zealand, and I can receive an inheritance?" Wang Bo asked in surprise.
Charlie nodded as a matter of course: "There is no doubt that you can." What does receiving an inheritance have to do with whether you are a New Zealander? Besides, you're just taking over a piece of wasteland, and foreigners can buy property in New Zealand at will, let alone a wasteland. ”
The sun never sets is geographically adjacent to the city of Omama, a city in the north-west of Canterbury.
On the map, the South Island of New Zealand is mainly divided into the Marlborough region, the Canterbury region, the Ottag region, the western region and the southern region.
The distance from the castle to the city of Omarama is about 100 kilometers, and the helicopter flies in quickly.
Wang Bo overlooked this small city from the air, except for the more British-style buildings in the city, the others are no different from the small counties in China, the number of people is even smaller, and the buildings are shorter.
The helicopter landed at the courthouse, but it was getting late, and the court was off duty, so Charlie arranged a room for him in a hotel, and then mysteriously said that there was something to discuss with him.
After closing the door, Charles said: "King, I have to remind you, if you take over the inheritance of Sir Roberts, then you will have to be responsible for the sunset collar, such as the maintenance of the castle, you should know how much material, human and financial resources are needed to maintain an ancient castle, right?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Bo was suddenly shocked. He remembered the news he had read before, saying that there were some medieval castles in Europe that were cheap but no one bought them, because if they bought them, they had to maintain them, and the cost of maintaining an ancient castle was too great for even the rich to afford.
Seeing this, Charlie suddenly showed a warm smile, he went over to put his arm around Wang Bo's shoulders and said: "Wang, my buddy, although we have known each other for a short time, but as the so-called white head is like new, and the cover is the same, I think we fell in love at first sight, do you feel like this?" ”
"Love at first sight?" Wang Bo suddenly felt the chrysanthemum tighten, and his face was full of horror.
Charlie was stunned, then sneered: "Sorry man, I used the wrong word, it should be a familiar thing at first sight, right?" ”
Wang Bo looked at him vigilantly, he didn't believe this guy's words, Charlie even knew such obscure idioms as 'white head is like new, and the cover is like the old', so he couldn't tell the difference between 'love at first sight' and 'love at first sight'?
"What the hell do you want to do, just say it." Lao Wang held the belt of his trousers with both hands, "I tell you, I'm not interested in same-sex X, if you want to use the inheritance to tempt to get my body......"
He hesitated, which is more important, the thousand square kilometers of fertile soil, the majestic castle, them or his chastity? Do you want to let your chastity and discipline be wronged?
Charlie didn't hesitate, he pushed Wang Bo away, and said angrily: "What are you kidding?" Well, I'll be blunt, I suggest that you change the Sunset Territory from a private domain to a national town, and the land will still belong to you, and everything above and under the ground will also belong to you, but you will belong to the state. ”
Wang Bo looked at him suspiciously, his brain quickly turned to digest the news, and then said slowly: "You mean, let me submit to the New Zealand government, or do your government want to recruit me?" ”
Charlie nodded, "Yes, you form a town on private territory, and you become the mayor." This way, the government can give your town an annual grant, which you can use to maintain the castle and develop the territory. ”
Wang Bo asked hesitantly: "If it is carried out according to your statement, how much money can the government allocate every year?" ”
Charlie said: "At least two million New Zealand dollars, converted into yuan, ten million!" ”
The New Zealand dollar is the abbreviation of New Zealand's currency, because the English name of New Zealand is New-Zealand, and the transliteration is New Zealand, so the English abbreviation of the coin is New Zealand.
"So much?" Wang Bo was a little incredulous for a while, "Ten million? Government grants? And can I be the mayor of the town? I'm Chinese! What you said, why do I think it's so unreliable! ”
Charlie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Of course, if you choose to be the mayor of a newly formed town in your territory, you will have to change your nationality. As for the grant and your position, there is no doubt about it, we will sign an agreement, an employment agreement! ”
Listening to his words, Wang Bo thought for a while, and felt a little unbelievable.
Before coming to New Zealand, he checked the information of this country, and he knew that New Zealand's civil servants are hired and publicly elected, such as the mayor, mayor and prime minister are elected by the citizens, and the positions of ordinary civil servants are either appointed by the parliament or recruited from the public.
Civil servants in New Zealand are not worth much, but it is a bit of a joke to appoint a town mayor in this way, right?
Charlie saw his doubts, and said: "I'll be honest, man, the Sun Never Sets Territory is the last aristocratic territory in New Zealand, and it doesn't nominally accept the rule of the government, and to those guys in the Parliament, it's like a vitiligo on the face, it's a shame, and it's a shame to want to take it back for a long time." But no, you don't know what a stubborn and conservative old man Sir Roberts is! His territory is like the cuff of his pants, and no one else will be allowed to touch it! ”
"I don't allow it in my pants either." Wang Bo tightened his belt a little tighter.
He always felt that this Charlie was coveting his beauty, although it stands to reason that he was not very good-looking, but who could guarantee that the aesthetics of white and yellow people were the same? Even if the aesthetics are the same, there are still some people who like to eat crooked melons, cracked dates, rotten peaches, and rotten apricots.
Charlie nodded: "Yes, but I think for you, this territory is at most your coat, not your pants." So I mean, isn't it good to have the coat printed with a company's logo and you can get an endorsement fee? ”
This analogy is very apt, Wang Bo asked: "I allow the territory to build a new town, and then I can become the mayor of the town?" Is the government willing to give me a grant to maintain the castle? Won't you kick me away afterwards? ”
Charlie smiled: "This is absolutely impossible, because all the land in the town belongs to you, and if you are not satisfied, you can take back the right to use these lands at any time, then the town government will have to declare bankruptcy and close down." ”
After hearing these words, Wang Bo nodded slowly and said, "Okay, Charlie, my buddy, I believe in you, and I am willing to follow your suggestions to rebuild the territory into a town!" ”
Charlie was slightly surprised, obviously he didn't expect to convince Wang Bo so easily, he asked, "Are you sure?" No more questions? ”
Wang Bo said lightly: "Of course, I'm sure, Charlie, I believe in you, because as you said, we fell in love at first sight, and we had this feeling from the first time we met, and I think we hate to meet late!" ”
"Yes, it's too late to see each other!"
The two men looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt that the other was smiling like a fox.
The reason why Wang Bo accepted this proposal was not how much he trusted Charlie, but because he suddenly remembered a note when he was watching the game strategy at that time, that is, he could take the heart of the territory at any time, leave this territory and start over!
So, what is there for him to be afraid of? It's better to follow Charlie's suggestion, if he can really become the mayor of a small town, it will be really developed......
