Delaware, also known as Delaware, was home to primitive Indian tribes in its early years.

Later, a group of "gentle" and "freedom-advocating" men came here and transformed the place, but when the transformation was completed, countless Indians became ghosts buried deep in the ground.

After centuries of baptism and war, the Native Americans became smaller and smaller, and eventually only made up 0.1 percent of the land's population.

The governor of Delaware is named Howard Walward, who took office at the beginning of this year, and the first thing he did after taking office was to reduce the state's taxes to a certain extent.

"Companies that do not operate in Delaware are not subject to corporate income tax...... Companies with operations and offices in Delaware are subject to corporate income tax at 8.7%, which is one of the lightest and most favorable places in the United States......

"However, if you make a movie here, you won't be able to eat the benefits of Hollywood at all, which is equivalent to starting all over again......

"My suggestion is that you go back to Huaxia first, and then sell our own SKY distribution rights in the form of imported movies, in the middle of which we sacrifice a little profit, sometimes we should bow our heads or bow our heads......

"As long as we endure next year's election, and as long as Olson becomes president next year, we will be in a slightly better position......

「......」

After getting off the plane, Zhou Yang felt a moment of warmth coming to his face.

The phone rang.

On the phone, Christian followed Zhou Yang to talk about Delaware, and from the film level, Christian very much disapproves of Zhou Yang coming to Delaware to make movies.

On the one hand, Hollywood is a behemoth, the films exported by Hollywood companies monopolize more than 80% of the old American films, and it is easy to sell them if you get a little bit of it, and the second is that Zhou Yang's arrival in Delaware is equivalent to starting everything over again, and there are many difficulties. In fact, in history, there have been some talented directors who left Hollywood to make movies elsewhere, but without exception, all of them ended in failure and ended up licking their faces and returning to Hollywood.

Christian naturally trusts Zhou Yang's ability, but this trust is not enough to absurdly think that the team that Zhou Yang pulled out in this place can directly call Hollywood.

Nonsense.

What Oscars, what Golden Globes......

These are basically monopolized by Hollywood, and at the same time, the mainstream media are on the side of Hollywood, and it is extremely difficult for you to promote your movies in the United States.

It's really very difficult for such a movie to get ahead in Lao Mei.

And Christian watched the special effects team of Zhou Yang's "Spider-Man", except for the special effects director of [Digital Domain] Company, Sarina, the rest are all Chinese special effects.

Thinking of Huaxia special effects, Christian will think of the embarrassing five-cent scene that can deduct three bedrooms and two living rooms on the ground with his toes......

The special effects are sparse, there are no big actors to participate, the investment is mediocre, and the publicity is monopolized, and it is a movie outside Hollywood, and at the same time, it has suffered from the word-of-mouth collapse of the similar superhero movie "Lizard Man......

There are all kinds of indications that even after the actual release of "Spider-Man", it is still a movie that can no longer be pounced.

In Christian's opinion, there was no need to make this film at all.

Zhou Yang didn't take Christian's words to heart, but walked towards the Governor's Building.

"Hello, we are Mr. Zhou Yang from Los Angeles, I am Xu Mei, and we have an appointment with Mr. Howard ......."

"Wait a minute."

"Okay."

A tall girl with glasses glanced at Zhou Yang and Xu Mei curiously, then nodded and walked towards the door of the governor's office.

Xu Mei and Zhou Yang sat on the chairs at the door, Xu Mei looked around, I don't know

Dao Why, his mood was very worried, especially when he saw the strange eyes of those people around him, this sense of apprehension was even stronger.

About ten minutes later, the glasses secretary walked out of it.

"Mr. Governor is busy right now, please wait a minute, are you going to have coffee or ......?"

"Plain water, thank you."

"Wait a minute."

Little by little, time passed.

From ten o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Yang looked at the document "Delaware Film and Television Base", read it for a long time, and kept thinking about the wording to go in.

And Xu Mei waited a little anxiously.

The boiled water was already cold, and he looked around, and when all the staff around him had left, the governor still didn't see them.

After waiting for another half an hour, the anxiety in Xu Mei's heart began to become irritable, and she began to pace back and forth.

Although all the staff were polite, the feeling of waiting was really very anxious.

"Don't worry, wait slowly, let's eat something first."

After watching the content of "Delaware Film and Television Base" several times, Zhou Yang casually took out a few slices of bread from his bag and handed them to Xu Mei.

"Mr. Zhou, how can there be such a thing? Obviously, it was ten o'clock, but now it's twelve o'clock, looking at this trend, twelve o'clock is not enough...... It's too bad to wait all day, it's too unserious for us......

Xu Mei didn't have the heart to eat at this moment, she looked in the direction of the governor's office from time to time, and then looked at the staff members who were leaving one after another.

Except for the staff on duty, everyone else was off duty.

Delaware workers go to work at 9 a.m., leave work at 11 a.m., then work at 3 p.m. and leave work at 5 p.m., and the legal maximum number of hours is 40 hours per week, with the excess considered overtime......

"There's no hurry."

Zhou Yang did not show dissatisfaction in the face of such contempt.

Instead, they continued to look at the content and waited silently.

Time passed again......

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that the secretary who had just come to work came over embarrassedly and walked awkwardly towards the governor's office with the two of them.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Howard just slept and overslept.....

.......................................

Howard is young.

Chinese New Year's Eve, when I first became governor, I was very excited, but after I really went deeper, I found that there were too many messes left by the previous governor.

And because of the low tax, many companies have come to Delaware to register companies, which inevitably involves a lot of financial industries......

In the past, the financial industry was thriving, and countless people lived in it and wanted to do something big, but some time ago, the financial regulatory system exploded, and Wall Street speculators took advantage of the loopholes in the system, deceitful and deceived the public, and a vague heart-pounding crisis seemed to be sweeping the United States......

Howard has been staying up late these days in meetings, chatting with the business tycoons about the current state of the economy, but the more they talk, the worse the economic situation becomes.

"The subprime mortgage crisis is going to erupt, maybe today, or tomorrow! Now a group of Wall Street people are urgently selling real estate, stocks, ......"

When Howard heard this, his heart was almost untenable.

If the entire stock market really collapses, it will be a heavy blow to the entire United States and even the world, can he not be afraid?

"Come in......"

Howard heard a knock on the door.

After hearing the knock on the door, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten the two Huaxia people.

When Zhou Yang and Xu Mei came in, maybe they were too tired, or maybe they didn't trust the relationship between the two at all, and they didn't have a face at all

How much enthusiasm.

But the work is still done seriously.

He opened the project record of "Delaware Film and Television Base", and after opening it, he saw a series of numbers and prospects in it, and when he saw that the "Delaware Film and Television Base Project" was benchmarked against Hollywood, he even wanted to laugh, and looked up at Zhou Yang with a serious and sincere face, how do you think these two people look like liars.

Of course, he understood that Zhou Yang was not a liar.

Just an unlucky guy who was ostracized by Hollywood and ended up in Delaware.

Over the years, there have been some people who have also painted flatbread and talked about various topics that benchmark Hollywood.

At first, the governors were quite trusting, asking for land and asking for tax exemptions, but in the past few years, these people have all failed and finally run back to Hollywood.

Howard has seen too many of these things.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, it is impossible to approve this brand new land for you......

"I don't want to delay your time, I don't want to delay my time, I don't have any interest in your "Delaware Film and Television Base", of course, I don't have any intention of discrimination, I myself have great respect for friends from all over the world, we are very welcome for you to come and make movies, but we will not give your films tax deductions, only slightly more preferential than Hollywood

"You have to pay for the investment yourself, there is no subsidy, and at the same time, we can't provide any help......

「......」

Zhou Yanggang wanted to talk to Howard about something.

Howard put "Delaware Film and Television Base" aside, and directly blocked all of Zhou Yang's words.

Then he handed Zhou Yang a draft tax deduction for the payable person and asked Zhou Yang to sign it as soon as possible.

"We need to find our own place, is that what you mean? Mr. Howard?" Zhou Yang thought of a lot of negotiation sentences in his mind, but after seeing Howard's attitude, Zhou Yang knew that his various words for painting a pie were useless.

"That's what it means, we won't interfere or help anything......" Howard nodded.

"If our Spider-Man movie can reach $300 million at the box office, would it be more tax-friendly?"

"Ha......" After Howard heard this, he instinctively wanted to laugh, he had learned about "Spider-Man" before Zhou Yang came, and he didn't think this movie could be popular at all: "If it can reach 300 million, half of the tax will be reduced......

"If I can really do the Delaware Film and Television Base project, how much tax concession can I give?"

When he heard this, Huo Dehua, who was originally tired, couldn't help laughing, and then he waved his hand at Zhou Yang: "Mr. Zhou Yang, if it can really be done, in this way, I will reduce the tax to 20% for you......

"All of its films?"

"All movies ......," Howard nodded, still smiling.

"Mr. Howard, can you draw up an agreement?" Zhou Yang looked at Howard's expression almost like a joke, but his face was serious.

"Haha, no problem, but...... I'm going to add a line to the agreement, provided that your Delaware Film & TV Base will provide jobs in our state for at least two years... Even if you leave, you can't cut off the funds and wages you promised, and you can't file for bankruptcy liquidation for five years, and you have to bear any debts yourself.........

"Good!"
