Chapter 119: The school has collapsed
"Boss, are you very surprised? Why did I agree directly to let the little girl from the Clive family come to our manor?" He got into the car, lit the fire, and drove out, Edward said to Jiang Hai.
In fact, just now, he saw that Jiang Hai was very puzzled, but he did not say it clearly. Now he can tell Jiang Hai.
"Why?" Seeing Edward Anderson willing to say, Jiang Hai couldn't help looking at him. Speaking of which, although he had been together for only a few months, Jiang Hai still trusted the people in his manor.
Especially for Robbins and Edward, he personally designated the people who manage other cowboys and fishermen.
When Jiang Hai first came to the United States, he said that it would be difficult to deal with if there weren’t many confidants around him. These two old men are currently Jiang Hai’s confidants. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Hai did not ask directly just now.
"It seems that you don't care much about the recent news, boss!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward Anderson here smiled, and while driving, he started talking to Jiang Hai.
"Don't you know, Boston suffered a snow disaster this year?" Looking at Jiang Hai, Edward Anderson said with a puzzled look on his face.
"I know this. I heard that businessmen in the city have made money by relying on this." Jiang Hai also saw what Edward said in the news. Because Boston is located near the Atlantic Ocean, it is rainy in summer and snowy in winter. This is the case in winter. The snowfall in Boston has exceeded the limits of previous years, causing a lot of impact on traffic and other things. Since the snowfall began in November, Boston has not been lifted until now.
But for Jiang Hai, snow disasters and other things are not anything. First, their houses are very strong, and second, when it snows, they will always clean them up, although the snow on the roadside has accumulated to about one and a half meters.
But for Jiang Hai's normal life, the snow disaster did not cause any problems for him.
"Ha, that's from Boston. Winthrop is not so lucky. Several classrooms and gymnasiums in the town elementary school have been crushed by the snow this year. The mayor and the principal of the town elementary school have been raising donations for the town elementary school these days, but the effect is not very good. In a dozen days, school will start. They may be the most anxious now..." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward Anderson shrugged and slowly started speaking.
Jiang Hai seemed to have heard of this news a few days ago, but in a blink of an eye he forgot that for a nonsense like him, his life in the past was to clean up the snow in front of the door by himself, and not ask others about frost on the tiles. After coming to the United States, he was the same.
As long as he is happy, as long as he takes care of other people and things, he will be lazy to take care of them.
It was about mid-December when the collapse was about to come. Fortunately, the school had already had a holiday at that time, so only a few rooms collapsed and there were no casualties. But for the people in the town, this was not good news.
In fact, if we talk about fundraising, the people of the U.S. should be more generous and positive than the people of other countries. Of course, in addition to the people's concerns, it is also related to the policies of the U.S. imperialism, because donations can be tax-deductible.
Moreover, the amount of the deposit is very high. Sometimes one dollar can be worth a dollar of fifteen cents. It is precisely because of this that many American rich people have the reputation of a philanthropist on their heads.
Because this can not only help them become famous and spread the consciousness of goodness, but also give them enough financial rewards.
Logically speaking, there are quite a few rich people in Boston, but there is no need to care about the elementary schools in Winthrop, and there are actually not many rich people in Winthrop.
In addition, the current economic situation is not very good. With these ordinary townspeople, one person has a $2, two $2, and they have only got a few thousand $2, and they can't even build a classroom, let alone a gymnasium.
It can also be seen from here that the Americans are in love. This is not that Jiang Hai is standing and talking without a back pain. When he was in elementary school, the elementary school was also very dilapidated. In winter, there was no heating and the windows were broken. It was covered with plastic cloth. Until the third year of the school was renovated, the heating and new glass were replaced. But even so, every winter, they were needed to use the cloth strips in the home and the paste they made to dip in the gaps in the windows.
It was only when I got into junior high school that I had plastic steel windows, so for Jiang Hai, it would be harder to go to school.
But it seems that people in the US don’t think so. No matter how hard they are, they cannot suffer their children. This is their educational policy.
Otherwise, I won’t build it, and if I want to build it, I don’t have the saying that it’s better to build it.
"Then what does it mean to ask her to come now? Do you want me to donate?" Jiang Hai nodded when he heard Edward Anderson's words and asked strangely. He probably understood what Edward meant, probably because he wanted to make himself donate.
"Whether to donate or not, how much to donate is, it is actually the final decision of the boss, but if you don't even give you a chance to convince you, it will cause a certain blow to your reputation in the town. To be honest, boss, your reputation in the town is not very good now..." Edward shrugged and said to Jiang Hai.
Hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled with a self-deprecating smile, as if it was like this.
Other rich people will benefit the countryside after they arrive in a place, but Jiang Hai does not seem to have such a way of doing it.
Usually, he stayed in his manor and had no social interactions with the people in the town. The only social interaction was that he sent more than a dozen bastards in the town to prison and almost destroyed the police station.
Although it is their responsibility to say that this matter cannot be blamed on Jiang Hai, it is still impossible for the residents of the town to fall in love with Jiang Hai.
No matter where you invest, you can establish good relationships with locals. This is a very important thing.
Even in China, some bosses need to establish good relations with the people in the village when they go to the countryside to build factories.
Otherwise, it would be no problem to come over every few days, not to mention that Jiang Hai is still in the United States now.
Since Jiang Hai came, it seems that Jiang Hai has never done a good thing for the people of Winthrop. As for the tax on the manor, it is the money collected by the government, and it has nothing to do with them. In addition, Jiang Hai's behavior is indeed a bit bad.
This also made Robbins, Edward and others sandwiched between Jiang Hai and the residents, and it was a bit difficult to do.
Fortunately, although Jiang Hai has never done anything good, he has never done anything bad. If the favorability is 100, then Jiang Hai's relationship with the residents in the town is 49 now, and he is basically in a neutral state, but there are a little bad reactions. These bad reactions also come from the families of the gangsters who were sent to prison by him.
"You mean, I should do something to change my impression among the townspeople?" After thinking for a while, Jiang Hai said to Edward Anderson. When he heard what Jiang Hai said, Edward shrugged undeniably, and he was just giving his opinions.
What to do is Jiang Hai’s final say. Of course, if Jiang Hai wants to fight to the end, maybe they will still stand on Jiang Hai’s side now.
However, if Jiang Hai really waits for the time when the people of the town are incompatible, they may choose their own family and hometown more. At least Jiang Hai is not sure about his personal charm.
"Okay, let's hear it later." After thinking about it, in fact, for Jiang Hai, the money for building a few classrooms is nothing. The money for one classroom is only more than 10,000 yuan for the US imperial side. A few classrooms and a basketball court can't be used for 100,000 yuan. However, Jiang Hai's current thinking is still the thoughts of the common people at the time.
Not to mention a hundred thousand US dollars, even if it is a ten-meter-old knife, he will not be willing to give it to others for no reason, and he will not feel comfortable.
His is his. Even if he doesn't want it and he destroys it, it's his. No one is allowed to rob it.
But if the money is paid to establish a good relationship with the townspeople, to leave a good impression on the government, and most importantly, it can also pay part of the tax, then Jiang Hai seems to be willing to give it up again.
Jiang Hai, who had been thinking about this in his mind, came back home soon after.
The next day, after Jiang Hai finished stalking the dog and seeing his horse, he drove to the town with Edward.
Today is the day to sign contracts with the fishermen, and Jiang Hai himself made up some decisions last night.
So today he did not come in the car driven by Edward, but he also drove his f650 into town.
"Hi, boss!" In front of the law firm in the town, Jiang Hai saw a row of cars and parked there. When Jiang Hai and Aidhua's cars came over, the people in the cars jumped down. One or two looked at Jiang Hai. Needless to say, these people were the fishermen that Jiang Hai had met yesterday. In addition to them, there were also their families. Jiang Hai said that their families could also live in the manor, which was a benefit.
Fishermen spend a lot of time all year round and wander on the sea, but compared to cowboys, their income is indeed very high, and they will not even be less than white-collar workers working in companies. In this world, although money is not omnipotent, it is absolutely impossible to have money. With money, they also have a relatively stable family.
Unlike Robbins and others, except for Felimmon, who had worked as a seafarer before, who had a wife, the others were either single or divorced. The crew members all took their wives with them, and even if they had children, they were embarrassed to take them.
