Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh divine power
It has to be said that the military's idea is correct, and the soldiers' actions are efficient.
Half an hour later, several armed helicopters landed at Columbia Airport and picked Ike away.
Because of this, the traffic that had been congested was gradually smooth. The scientists who came to study then took a special car to the suburban mansion of the Garcia family.
Yes, they live there too!
If only Ike, the White House would directly let the little guy live in the city government, which is safe and convenient.
However, with these scientists from other countries, it is impossible to make such arrangements.
...
The Garcia family mansion is lively in the suburbs.
In order to welcome federal prodigy and scientists from all over the world to move into the villa, the Garcia family was trying hard to get enough money.
Not only did we prepare a rich lunch, we also invited many local celebrities, and some even came from neighboring cities.
The banquet was held on a wide lawn.
At this time, the center of the lawn was filled with many well-dressed upper-class people. They all wanted to say a few words to the federal prodigy in the middle and get familiar with each other.
But the tragic thing is that only Mr. Governor and others can talk to Ike.
All the others were stopped by F.
"Little Ike, thank you for your contribution to our city of Columbia." The governor smiled, raised his glass to signal the little guy, and then finished his drink in one sip.
In response, Ike also took a sip of the watermelon juice in the glass.
Seeing this scene, thunderous applause immediately sounded around.
The applause lasted only three seconds before it stopped, because these high-ranking people knew that the respected Governor must have some more information.
Sure enough!
But seeing the Governor smile, he spoke again.
“The economy in Columbia has been a bit sluggish all the time, and so is our South Carolina. Today…”
"Our super prodigy in America is here, and his arrival marks the imminent economic growth of South Carolina, and tens of millions of people will benefit from him."
“In view of this, our South Carolina House of Representatives decided to present a Citizen Medal of Honor and a Special Contribution Award to Eck Jr. at the end of this month to express our gratitude to Eck Jr.!”
After the sound came down, the audience applauded again, and everyone smiled.
None of them were surprised by the resolutions of the Governor and the State Government.
Just kidding, this is the world's first space portal. Wherever it is located, the economy will develop rapidly.
Not to mention anything else, in just a few days, the housing prices in Columbia have increased by 20 times, a full 20 times.
What is this concept?
It can be said that in the next few years, the total GDP of this city will increase by hundreds of times.
Yes, it's a hundred times!
and……
If that space portal can charge, the government's fiscal revenue will be higher.
What? You don't believe it?!
Haha, please think about it with your pig head. Currently, the price of flight tickets between China and the United States is about US$1,000-2,000, and it will take 12 hours to fly.
Now there is a portal in just 10 seconds to reach. Are you sitting or not?
Oh, by the way, the charge is a bit cheaper for you, and you will be charged half of it. Do you want to sit or not?
Just a fool is not sitting!
This is just about the tourism industry, and maritime transportation is even more profitable.
How many materials exchanges between China and the United States are tens of millions of tons every day.
It arrives in 10 seconds, are you willing?
I don’t want to be stupid!
So, when thinking of this bright prospect, almost all the administrative officials of the Columbia City Government and South Carolina State Government planned to kneel down to this cute God of Wealth.
This is the true grace of God, and God’s grace is like the sea!
...
"Thank you, Mr. Governor!"
Ike thanked the Governor.
At this time, Ike was also extremely happy. Oh, honorary citizen! Of course I am willing to increase my popularity.
Seeing the little prodigy accepting the proposal of the state government, the governor was extremely happy and quickly raised his glass again and took a sip.
Around him, many senior officials and senators were also excited to the limit and raised their glasses and drank with the governor.
Their purpose has been achieved!
Afterwards, the banquet was held even more enthusiastic, especially the local high-ranking people, whose smiles never stopped from beginning to end.
The Gate of Space is located in Columbia. Do you think they can make a profit from it?
This is a very obvious thing!
Finally, the luncheon did not end completely until three o'clock in the afternoon.
An hour later, more than 10 bullet-proof cars drove out of the mansion and headed to the construction site in the nuclear power plant area...
Ike and scientists from all over the world are going to see the construction process of the Space Gate.
At the same time, the governor who returned to the state government immediately took out a document from the drawer and signed his name.
This is an administrative resolution submitted by the State House three days ago. The resolution is: charging fees and taxes on the Gate of Space!
Regarding this suggestion, Mr. Governor had already wanted to sign it!
But before the great master of Pumpkin came, he didn't dare to sign. Because he had never even seen the great master's face, what if something went wrong?
To this end, the Governor discussed with all the officials and decided to present the great god with the award.
Fortunately, the Pumpkin God accepted this offer.
So, now he dares to sign!
The space gate is charged, and must be charged!
The door to space needs to be taxed and must be levied!
Except for the great gods who are terrifying the world, no one can stop the resolutions of our state government, even the White House cannot. Whoever dares to stop them is the life-and-death enemy of the millions of people in South Carolina!
"Distribute this document to various municipal governments, and also send one to the White House!"
The governor ordered his assistant.
"Yes, Mr. Governor!"
Half an hour later, the White House government, who received the document, was stunned.
You are paralyzed, the door of space has just started to be repaired, and you South Carolina are planning to charge? This food appearance is too ugly, right?
Well, this is just the complaints of senior White House officials. What they really want to express is
What about grass mud horses, what about me?
In the presidential office, Obama quickly browsed the documents and immediately ordered: "Go to the South Carolina government and tell them that the White House has passed the charging policy of the Space Gate. However, 80% of the proceeds will belong to the state!"
What this means is: The White House wants 80%, and you can only keep 20% locally!
Hearing Obama's orders, the subordinate officials immediately agreed and then hurried out to make a phone call.
The South Carolina government, who received this reply, was furious.
The Governor urgently called the White House and President Obama.
"Mr. President, according to the Constitution, the White House has no right to interfere with state government resolutions."
Obama said coldly: "The White House decides the location of the Space Gate. If you South Carolina does not agree, the White House will build the Space Gate to the state next to you."
However, the governor did not take this trick for Obama's threat.
"The little prodigy has long said that the Space Gate only has 5 days to build. Is it urgent to change the address of the White House now? And..." Speaking of this, the Governor paused, his voice was also cold, "And, our South Carolina has sent a National Guard to assist in the construction of the Space Gate!"
The U.S. National Guard is abbreviated as the Federal National Militia. It is an important reserve force for the American armed forces, an important part of the overall American armed forces, and a local armed forces affiliated to state governments.
Here, the Governor’s meaning is: I have sent a National Guard to surround the construction site, you can evacuate it and give it a try!
Upon hearing this, Obama was furious: "Dare you dare?!fuk!"
"Hmph! The benefits of the Space Gate are as high as tens of trillions of dollars. For the rights and interests of millions of people in South Carolina, there is nothing I dare not do! And according to the provisions of the U.S. Constitution, you have no right to order me, and the White House has no right to teach me how to do it!"
Obama: “…”
The situation suddenly fell into a stalemate. After a long time, Obama spoke softly: "35%! You can keep 35%! This is my bottom line and the bottom line of all federal capital groups, including the Watermelon Alliance!"
As the sound came, laughter came from the phone: "Trade is done, thank you for your generosity!"
Obama: “…”
You are so spicy!
…(To be continued.)
