In the United States, regardless of the neighborhood, rich or poor, police salaries are paid by locally levied property taxes.

Then the basic logic is that when a neighborhood is wealthy, housing prices are high, and the amount of property tax levied by the government also rises.

With the money, more police can be hired to keep the community safe, and then crime can be effectively curbed, and the community will be safer, so a positive cycle is formed.

Conversely, if housing prices are low in poor neighborhoods, the amount of property tax levied by the government will be low, and there will be no money to hire enough police, and without police constraints, criminals will be unscrupulous.

Then the crime rate increases, the social security level decreases, and the local housing prices fall, and there is no money to hire police, forming a negative cycle, which is probably what Hell's Kitchen looks like.

Naturally, the Butts family lives in a high-end affluent neighborhood where police patrol every day, and they quickly noticed the situation and rushed over to stop it from getting worse.

Seeing that there were no weapons other than baseball bats at the scene, and that several of the parties involved were white, the police gradually calmed down.

Putting away their guns, they were separated, and then questioning them, by which time several people had calmed down and asked to call their lawyers.

According to California law, if the brawl does not cause serious consequences, it is a misdemeanor, and it is handled very leniently, and seeing that both parties have no intention of entanglement, they are released.

Old Barry didn't say a word with a gloomy face, got back into the car and returned to the slaughterhouse, and didn't wash his face before entering the office, just to let Fang Xiu see how miserable he was.

Old Barry told Fang Xiu in detail about the fight just now, of course, there must be all kinds of bragging, and finally pointed to his face and said.

"Mr. Fang, don't look at me like this, the Butts family is much worse than me! In fact, if it weren't for his son sneaking up with a baseball bat, I wouldn't have had a problem hitting all four of them! ”

"To bully more and less to sneak attack, and it is also against an old man, this is too unmartial arts! However, I seem to remember that under California law, it is not a misdemeanor to use a weapon to hit someone, or to cause a broken bone, concussion, stitches, etc.! Fang Xiu reminded.

When he was watching the live broadcast just now, he urgently contacted the lawyer, just fighting is not enough to get angry on himself, you have to fight a lawsuit with him.

"Mr. Barry, you'd better go to the authorities and check it out, I feel that according to what you just said, that baseball bat is not light, maybe there is a broken bone, if that's the case, you can sue them!"

There is Fang Xiu, even if there is no fracture in the first place, the fracture will be found after examination, and it is definitely beaten by the Butts kid with a baseball bat, and the traces must be exactly the same.

"But..... But I did it first! Old Barry hesitated.

"That's right, but you didn't use a weapon, and you're almost under control, so there's no need for Mr. Butts Jr. to use a weapon, so I suggest you consult a lawyer first, and they'll help you make the right choice." Let's get the Butts family in trouble.

"I have now seen your sincerity." Fang Xiu also changed his title, "So I'm willing to continue to cooperate with you, let's re-sign the contract first, so that you can focus on fighting the lawsuit." ”

Old Barry understood that there would be no new contract if he didn't go to court, and he could only agree to it, because a lawsuit would cost money, but it would be smaller than the loss of the ranch going out of business.

And this would prove that I had really broken with the Butts family, and maybe that was why he let me go to court, Barry Sr. secretly guessed.

As for regretting after signing the contract, Old Barry didn't dare, as long as Fang Xiu could continue to influence the Los Angeles Truckers Union, it would be more effective than any contract.

"I also feel that my back is starting to hurt, and when I sign the contract, I will find a lawyer to accompany me to an authoritative institution for testing, and then sue them!" Old Barry obediently agreed.

"I've got the contract ready, just sign it!" Fang Xiu asked Maggie to take the sample and handed it to Barry Sr.

"Thank you." Old Barry suddenly forgot about the pain and immediately looked at it.

But looking at it, his eyes were wrong, Fang Xiu lowered the purchase price of beef cattle in the contract, and also put forward new requirements for the grade of beef cattle.

This meant that Barry Farm had to offer Fang Xiu the best beef cattle at a lower price than before, and he could get much less profit.

"Mr. Fang, these terms ......" Old Barry asked, pointing to the terms of the price reduction.

"I think it's fine." Fang Xiu directly interrupted him, "You took the initiative to ask for an increase in the purchase price of beef cattle before, since you can raise the price, then it's normal for me to lower the price, right?" ”

"I didn't do it this time, you want to deal with me! If the person who provoked the war loses, it can't be punished at all, right? ”

"If that's the case, how will I do business in the future? How else do you get a foothold in Los Angeles? Others will definitely think it's a bully! ”

is still the same sentence before, if the demon gate is ignored, it will destroy all people, and now that Fang Xiu is in charge, how can it be possible to let Old Barry pass the test easily? He has to pay the price!

"You don't have to be verbose, give you a minute to make a choice, you just say sign or not, if you sign, we will continue to cooperate! You can go back without signing! Don't come back to me again! Fang Xiu began to look at his watch.

Although Fang Xiu didn't point it out, the meaning of his words was already very clear, if Old Barry didn't sign, the Los Angeles Truckers Union would have boycotted his ranch all the time.

From now on, Barry Ranch doesn't have to think about selling even a cow, and he doesn't have to think that there will be trucks to help them carry feed and hay, he just waits for bankruptcy!

"And the last ten seconds! Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three ....." Fang Xiu raised his wrist to look at his watch, and the countdown began in his mouth.

"I'll sign it! I'll sign! Barry Sr. couldn't withstand the pressure and quickly signed the contract before the countdown was over.

After signing, he collapsed directly in the chair, his clothes soaking wet.

"If you knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?" Fang Xiu shook his head, although he could use the Mind Confusion Technique to get Old Barry to sign, but was it as happy as it was now?

Seeing people fall into despair is a great pleasure for people in the Demon Path.

"Mr. Fang, I'll call back to the ranch immediately and ask them to deliver it to you!" Barry Sr. picked up his phone and prepared to call his son.

"Don't worry, since you're injured, you should go for an examination first!" Fang Xiu put away the contract with satisfaction.

"I'm going to contact a lawyer, do an exam, and then sue the Butz family!" This time old Barry got smarter.
