889 Death costs money

In most people's understanding, "shamelessness" is a very indiscriminate behavior, but sometimes, "shamelessness" is a special skill, some people can do things that most people can't do, and they are particularly at ease, for them face is just a tool like a revolver in their hands.

The problems that most real estate companies will encounter in the 21st century, the real estate companies in the 19th century will also encounter, Li Mu has seen a very famous picture in his last life, claiming to be a house that Trump can't buy, which is considered to be ironclad evidence of the sanctity of private property in the United States, in fact, there are more such evidence in the Republic, but in the Republic, this kind of house is generally called a nail household, and everyone will use the nail household to laugh at the incompetence of the government and the greed of the head of the household, which will definitely not become evidence of the development of human rights.

The outcome of that story sounds very good, Trump did not demolish it, the owner still lived in his own house, and later after the owner died, he gave the house to Trump, and Trump did not demolish it, so that house became a model of peace between the rich and the poor in the United States.

In fact, it's all fake, the original developer of that piece of land was not Trump at all, and the house was indeed not demolished, but not because the owner didn't sell, but because the developer who developed the land went bankrupt, so the whole piece of land was shelved, and the house was finally auctioned off by the owner's daughter, from the initial $5 million to $1 million, no one cared, Trump took over the land at that time, but for the house, Trump himself had no interest, and the final sale price of the house was $580,000, It's even lower than the price offered by the first developer to the homeowner in 19787, so the photos are just a lie, and no matter how good the story is, the fake is still fake after all.

Unlike Trump, Springfield Company in New York, basically will not encounter this kind of thing, Springfield Company fancy the house, of course, there will be people who are nostalgic for the former home and are unwilling to sell, but Springfield Company has a way to make them change their minds, and the price is usually much lower than the market price, Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang's idea is to continue to buy land in Manhattan, and then push the original house to build apartment buildings or office buildings on the old site for rent, this is a long-term good business, maybe for decades, Chu Wushuang and Situ Lei can buy the whole of Manhattan.

At that time, without Li Mu's support, Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang will become members of New York's high society, after all, no matter who controls the pension of hundreds of thousands or even millions of retirees, then it is equivalent to that they have the protection of hundreds of thousands or even millions of families, this power cannot be ignored, because the people who can afford to buy pensions are basically the middle class, and these people are basically equivalent to votes, and no one will get along with votes. And when the time comes, the Republicans and Democrats will rush to have a good relationship with Situ Leichu Wushuang.

Li Mu has always done things to grasp the big and let go of the small, one thing determines the basic charter, and then Li Mu will let it go, and leave it to others to implement, Li Mu only needs to ensure that the development of things will not deviate from the direction specified by Li Mu, it is his duty to do well, it doesn't matter if he doesn't do it well, he will continue to do it by another person.

Now it seems that Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang are doing well, so Li Mu no longer cares about this matter, Li Mu's main energy is still to focus on opening up the relationship, Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang do not have this ability now.

"Social security, shouldn't the government be responsible for this kind of thing?" After listening to Li Mu's idea, Edward Jeffrey immediately realized that there was a huge opportunity in it.

"I'm sorry, if I could, I would also like the government to take care of the security of the hundreds of thousands of workers in the ZAMA Group after retirement, but do you think this is possible? I'm giving you the money now, can you guarantee that the money will be invested wisely, and then continue to grow in value until decades later, and then gradually return it to those who need a pension? Li Mu does not object to the government being responsible for social security, but it is clear that the government does not have the ability to do so.

Decades later, there is a question of policy continuity, and if it is a one-party state, then there will basically be no such problem, but in a two-party or multi-party country, the government cannot guarantee the basic policy continuity, even if it is a good thing, it cannot withstand the mutual tearing down of multiple parties.

A very simple reason, for example, in New York now, during the Republican administration, even if some things that seem to be very good have been done, as long as the Democratic Party comes to power, then the Democratic Party may turn the originally good thing into a bad thing for some unspeakable reasons, and most of the time it will make the Republican Party unable to grasp the handle, so even if Edward Jeffrey wants the government to be responsible for social security, Li Mu will not give the money to Edward Jeffrey, because Li Mu is not sure, Edward Jeffrey Can Jeffrey do this well, or if Edward Jeffrey can do it well, then Edward Jeffrey's successor may spend all his money where he shouldn't.

"That's right, you're right, it's true that this matter cannot be handed over to the government." Edward Jeffrey was a little frustrated, but he was not disappointed, this matter was originally a trap, Li Mu didn't agree, it's okay, if Li Mu really handed over the money to the government to operate, then ten or decades later, when people start to need money but can't get it, those angry people will tear Edward Jeffrey apart along with his successor.

"If you have Edward, the money can't be given to you, but the honor can be given to you, what you have to do is to use the name of the government to guarantee the company's reputation, so that all the benefits of this matter will be yours." Li Mu came to Edward Jeffrey is not an empty glove white wolf, if you want to take it first, you must give it first, if there is no benefit, Edward Jeffrey will not endorse the big social brothers of Springfield.

"Are you serious?" Edward Jeffrey couldn't believe it, Li Mu did this, which was equivalent to giving Edward Jeffrey a ladder, with this aura, Edward Jeffrey could even run for president of the United States.

It is certain that if this thing is done, then there will be great political benefits, you must know that the previous US governments at all levels have never considered the issue of social security, and even the phrase "social security" was only after listening to Li Mu say it, Edward Jeffrey realized that these two words can be used in this combination, so it is conceivable that if Li Mu really gave all the political benefits to Edward Jeffrey, then how much of a favor this is.

"Of course, we are friends, and you have been mayor for a lot of help to Springfield Polytechnic Institute and Medical School all these years, and I have all taken it to heart, so there are benefits, of course I will think of you, or to whom? Chester? That's a waste. It's not that Li Mu didn't think of Arthur, it's just that Arthur has already become president and doesn't want to be re-elected, so Arthur has no desire and no desire, and it's useless to give more halo.

As for other Republican politicians, please, none of the people who have a good relationship with Li Mu are in New York, and those in New York have no future, they are originally muddy, even if they are mixed with steel bars, they can't paste the wall, Edward Jeffrey is already good, even if Edward Jeffrey does not run for president in the future and is elected governor of New York, he can also help Li Mu.

Li Mu is also very shameless sometimes, so when it comes to helping, Li Mu is talking about Springfield Institute of Technology and Medical School, not the Horse Group, if Edward Jeffrey really wants to swallow this pie, then Edward Jeffrey will return the favor.

"Yes, we're friends, so Ream, I don't think the New York City government has given enough support to Springfield Polytechnic Institute and the School of Medicine, which has become one of the brightest jewels in the crown of New York, and we can't make people think of the Big Apple, and they think of copper-smelling money, and that Big Apple is a rotten apple that doesn't arouse any desires, so what do you think of the idea of building a bridge that connects Manhattan and Newark?" Edward Jeffrey really understood the truth of reciprocating the peach, of course, the money for the bridge repair would not be paid by Li Mu, but by the New York City government, which is part of the city's infrastructure, and the project will definitely be handed over to the horse construction company.

Oh no, it's not a Stallion Construction Company anymore, it's a New York Construction Company, and it's not even part of the Stallion Group anymore.

"It's a good plan, but now we have to rely on ferries to get between Manhattan and Newark, which doesn't fit Newark's positioning, and the Hudson River divides Manhattan and Newark into two different parts, which is not normal, and we need to change that reality." Of course, Li Mu agreed to such a proposal, anyway, he didn't need Li Mu to pay for it.

There is no need for Edward Jeffrey to pay, the New York City government will pay for it, and everyone is happy to see it, even the Democrats will not oppose such a proposal, because it will become Li Mu's enemy, and Li Mu is now the target of the Democratic Party's full court, and this is how public power is sold.

"I have to say that social security is definitely a pioneering initiative, although the municipal government does not have the ability to provide social security for the whole society, but I think it is still necessary for the staff of the municipal government to join the social security, how to join this social security?" Edward Jeffrey continued to give benefits, not even asking about the most basic amount of insurance, and it is estimated that this part is still paid by the city government.

This situation is not unique to the two-party system, the New York City government, whether it is a Democratic Party or a Republican Party, will try to provide benefits for public officials, this is part of winning over the hearts and minds of the people, only by constantly expanding vested interest groups, can we ensure the stability of the ruling foundation, it is best that during the Republican administration, everyone in the United States becomes vested interests, then the Republican Party will be entrenched, and there will never be any need to worry about the Democratic Party seizing power.

Well, the above is just an ideal situation, in fact, people's desires are always endless, after World War II, the United States became the most powerful country in the world, the United States can pick up the world's wool, provide nutrients for the United States, at this time all Americans are vested interests, but the United States is still two parties in turn in power, because the benefits obtained, never as much as promised, and when the promise can not be fulfilled, then it is almost time to reshuffle.

"Just give the money to Angus Jobs, the more you take out every month, the more you will return your pension in the future, the biggest advantage of this is that you don't have to worry about your future life, you can enjoy life now under the premise of financial allowability, even if you don't live to receive your pension, all the money will be returned to the heirs of the property as an inheritance, which is good for all of us." Li Mu does not know when the pension system in the United States began, but another time and space, the first country in the world to implement the pension insurance system is Germany, in 1889, German Prime Minister Bismarck established the world's first pension insurance system, Li Mu does not know the specific details of the pension insurance system established by Bismarck, but Li Mu can be sure that the pension insurance system established by Bismarck is certainly not as perfect as the set designed by Li Mu.

In fact, they are all routines, endowment insurance is useless for the rich, useless for the poor, and even useless for the middle class with good financial management ability.

Of course, if it is only slightly, then investment still needs to be cautious, the capital market has always been a big fish eating small fish, to choose their own risk to bear the industry, investment is risky, enter the market need to be cautious.

"Very well, then it's decided, I'll get James and Angus Job in touch when I get back." Edward Jeffrey doesn't talk to Li Mu about the rules, James is the director of the New York City Finance Bureau, as for Angus Jobs' company, it is the real estate company established by Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang, Li Mu doesn't know why Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang chose this name, anyway, as long as the controlling stake in this company belongs to Bank of America and San Diego Investment Company.

If you put aside the currency depreciation, then the pension insurance system is indeed a pioneering initiative, of course, the future of no one can say, maybe the currency will appreciate, it will be more cost-effective.

Of course, there is no need to worry about what does not happen, if the currency will depreciate, then it will also depreciate in the bank, and the depreciation will be faster, if you don't worry about the life after losing the ability to work, then people can use more income for consumption, the whole society will benefit from it, and the government will benefit more, because even if the pension becomes an inheritance, then the government can also collect inheritance tax reasonably and legally.

Sure enough, death asks for money.
