Chapter 267: Good Deeds Stand in the Way of Fortune
"What do you mean by that?" Bei Hai couldn't help but stop what he was doing and looked at Dominic and said, "I think this plan is very feasible, I have found a piling company here!" âă
Bei Hai has now contacted two or three offshore piling companies, originally Bei Hai also wanted to consider domestic enterprises, but in the end, the cost is too high, and now the selected several interested companies are from the United States. It is not that American companies are cheaper than domestic enterprises, not only are they not cheap but also very expensive, and all these projects are at least 25 percent more expensive than domestic enterprises when they are manually undertaken by the United States.
However, this account cannot be calculated in this way, if income tax is added, it is much more cost-effective to use American companies than Chinese enterprises, because if Chinese enterprises outside the United States are used, Bei Hai's investment of more than 20 million US dollars cannot be worth a penny tax cut, that is, almost half of the money must be paid to the US Internal Revenue Service, and then the rest can be used for the project. In this way, if it is handed over to an American company, it will be 20 million US dollars, and it will be handed over to an enterprise outside the United States, that is to say, the money is not spent in the United States, then the US tax regulations are embarrassed to pay the income tax first, and there are some procedures and accounts for US citizens to invest overseas.
Matt also thought that the captain's plan was feasible.
"That's a good plan, Matt, who is quite economical, opened his mouth.
After all, Qi Yiming's time in the United States is short, and now he will listen to the excitement, and he will look at Dominic with his two eyes open and Bei Hai and Matt and so on.
Dominic said: "Captain, you have no problem considering the law or the economy. But have you ever wondered how to deal with those environmental groups? Have you ever wondered how these organizations would react when you went to the Atlantic Ocean to drive cement piles? If you're going to face these people, have you thought about it? âă
"Phew!" Hearing this, Bei Hai couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and said in his heart: How did I forget this good deed!
In the United States, there are really countless such environmental organizations. There are as many as crucian carp crossing the river. Moreover, many of these so-called environmental organizations are privately organized, and these organizations still look quite cute to ordinary people. Not long after coming to the United States, Bei Hai thought that these people were all fed and supported, and they didn't go to work, and they either put up a small flag here or a small sign there, either protesting against oil tankers transporting oil, or protesting against power plants to generate electricity, in short, 365 days a year, these people protested every day.
Later, I felt that these people were quite respectable, and many of these people lived a hard life that was not ordinary people, such as receiving relief or directly looking for something in the garbage bin to fill their stomachs, and then going around the country to promote green travel with emission reduction. really did the body lĂŹ line, and it was never a sheep's head to sell dog meat. Because Bei Hai, who was serving the plate at that time, felt that he didn't have such a determination and couldn't do it. I really admire these environmental guards.
But now as a capitalist, Bei Hai's mentality has changed with his social role, and when Dominic reminded him of this, Bei Hai immediately felt that these environmental protection were really a headache, not only a headache but also annoying! Get in the way of your own wealth!
"It's nice for these people to have nothing to do, find a job or go to a nightclub like other young people, and have a night out! "Bei Hai sighed and said as if talking to himself.
Matt listened to the captain's words and thought for a moment, "These people are very difficult, and you don't expect them to find you!" âă It's strange to throw cement piles in the Atlantic Ocean and raise fish and not to go to the newspapers, and it's even stranger if these people don't come to protest! The news of these people is sometimes a little more clever than that of the beagle.
Bei Hai naturally knew how difficult these people were, although he had not encountered them head-on, but he saw less on the news in the newspapers, these people broke into the refrigerated truck and injected toxic substances into the beef and chicken. Let the meat company suffer losses, and it will also protest at your doorstep and company door 24 hours a day. And don't expect these people to leave in ten days and a half months, as soon as they get stuck to it, it's like stepping on dog shit on their feet. It's disgusting and irritating.
"Why don't you buy an island?" Qi Yiming looked at Bei Hai with a frown, and couldn't help but open his mouth to come up with an idea that he thought was very good.
"It's so easy on the island," Bei Hai said, shaking his head.
It is also troublesome to buy an island, first of all, the depth of the water near this island must be required, and it cannot be too close to another island. In terms of investment, it is much more expensive than going directly to the Atlantic Ocean to enclose land, and one of the famous places for selling islands is the Central Pacific island countries. The other is the Caribbean, not to mention the Pacific island countries. Let's take the Caribbean Sea as an example, not to mention the pirate style after the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released, even the small islands in the Caribbean are now in short supply, and almost all the small islands that can be sold have fallen into private hands.
The people who can buy Caribbean islands are not Hollywood movie superstars or consortium tycoons, and these people have no advantage in comparing Beihai's annual income of more than 20 million yuan, and now a lower-middle-average Caribbean island is estimated to be about 20 million US dollars, and no matter how small the island is, it is not of much significance, maybe the area of the entire island will be reduced by half at a high tide, and it is better to go to the sea to drive piles to resist environmental protection people if such an island is bought.
Almost all the islands in the Pacific Ocean are close to the equator, a little too far away from where they live now, and the fish farming in the sea is fish farming, and it does not mean that fishing is not dry, and the ship of Gloucester is still ready to be kept. It's a little too long to come and go.
In addition to these two pieces of land, there are also scattered European islands, not only the price is not suitable, even if the price is right, Beihai will not buy, because European countries are almost not allowed to sell bluefin tuna, so buying an island is a fart for Beihai.
Then there are some Southeast Asian countries that also have islands for sale, but the biggest reason why Bei Hai did not consider these countries is that Bei Hai does not believe in the credibility of these governments, and the entire people who came to power at every turn are still in the period of World War II, and they invest here and it is a hard investment, and Bei Hai does not want to take this risk.
Not only did I not want to take it, but I didn't even have the intention of taking it. I don't even have the intention of going to these countries, for example, if I go to what Ni and what Bin looks like Bei Hai, who knows that he is an American, if he is beaten up when he goes, even if the US Embassy is awesome, it is not himself who these countries are fighting to lick the American ass and being beaten? Therefore, the monkey country of Southeast Asia, Yabeihai, is ready not to set foot in it for the rest of its life.
After thinking of the difficulties of the matter and talking to the three of them, Bei Hai sighed.
Dominic thought for a moment and said to Bei Hai: "Then now do you think it is troublesome to buy the island, or to deal with these environmentalists."
Bei Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Buying an island hurts money, and dealing with environmentalists hurts lungs!" âă
These people don't make Bei Hai easy to say at all, to say that most of these people are a bit like some specialized domestic debt collection companies, these people who collect debts don't use force or be rude, and even have no verbal insults, just give things like protecting the earth and the like, shouting slogans around you, and then constantly dangling in front of your eyes and ears twenty-four hours a day. As far as Bei Hai's house is concerned, if these people come to the door and protest, don't sleep.
"Let me think again!" When he said this, Bei Hai was already a little inclined to buy the island, and he was originally excited to prepare for piling and enclosing the land, and in the face of these well-fed and no-do goods, Bei Hai felt that he couldn't eat at all, don't make trouble at his door for two more weeks, Bei Hai himself will have to dismantle the pile.
Whoever suffers from a swarm of flies surrounding him all day long, and these people follow him whenever he shows up in a public place, and if some fanatics really do anything, such as frying oil tankers and destroying oil wells, they will have a lesson from the past.
Bei Hai is still self-aware of his own tolerance.
"Buy the island!" Bei Hai's face couldn't help but smile bitterly, Bei Hai now thinks that it is best to choose in the Atlantic, but the price of the island here is now estimated to be more than 20 million US dollars, not to mention the problem of buying and building. And Beihai is not only about construction, because Beihai is not mainly an island but a fish farm, which means that the marine situation near the island is more important, and of course, it doesn't matter what kind of beach is Beihai.
Thinking about it, the movements of the hands naturally slowed down.
"Captain! Don't be in a daze, hurry up and get to work! Matt looked at Bei Huomian and knew that he had accumulated seven or eight knots, and immediately shouted loudly.
"Okay!" Bei Hai came back to his senses and focused his mind on the work at hand again. (To be continued......) R1292
