Chapter 876: Hunting Regulations
The American government is actually very poor, it is really poor, not crying, not like some county governments, crying all day long that they are poor counties. As a result, the county government drives cars, all of them are Audi, Land Rover, etc., and they are embarrassed to say hello to their colleagues when driving.
These so-called poor areas are fooling around. Maybe the people are really poor, but officials are haha...
The sky is three feet high, but it is not a fame. Being an official for thousands of miles is just for wealth. This sentence is actually the truth.
However, compared to this situation, the US government really has no money.
This is not pretending, it is true. During the financial crisis, any department in China can be said to be nothing.
But the governments in the United States have all gone bankrupt, including the familiar White House, California, etc.
Because there is really no money here in the United States, the domestic finances of the United States may still have some moisture, but the finances of each state and county are completely transparent, and the heart is transparent, and the transparent things are a bit speechless.
There are also some people, old men and women, who gather in front of the state government all day long to calculate these things. A manhole cover costs dozens of dollars more, and they will raise the flag to protest. In addition, the chiefs of each state and county are elected, and different parties are staring at them. To be honest, being an official or a civil servant in the United States is really not a very heartbreaking thing.
How much does the state government spend on education each year? Generally speaking, the proportion is 7.6% of the total income, what is the cost of highway maintenance, basically 1.2%, public welfare accounts for .6%, natural resources 14.2%, police are 11%, prisons are 19%, drainage is 6.9%, fires, etc., the pension for government retired employees is 12.7%, and unemployment benefits are o.4%...
Of course, this is just a rough idea. The situation in each state is different, but it is indeed quite transparent.
Every penny is spent locally, and to be honest, the salary of these civil servants is not too much.
Basically, the salary of civil servants at the bottom is about 36,000 US dollars a year, and they can't even pay 40,000 yuan. The police are more. The salary of middle-level managers is only about 70,000 yuan a year, and the governor's salary is between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan.
The money is different from state to state. The governor of California only earns an annual salary of 200,000, not to mention Massachusetts.
Everyone is willing to be an official, but to be honest, if you have no ambitions or power, it seems that being an official in the United States is really not a pleasing thing...
Even any civilian in the United States dares to point at the governor's nose and scold him for doing something bad. If this is in China, hehe...
What does it mean to pay attention to a bachelor's power in China? No matter if you are rich on the ground or a ruthless person on the ground, you don't fight against power. This means that as long as you are a small team leader at the yamen, you can also destroy your family. Of course, there is no yamen now, which means it is almost the same.
Unless you take advantage of hundreds of billions and find a protective umbrella on top, otherwise, the director and section chief below will be enough to destroy your family. This is the gap between the official and the gold standard.
In the United States, these officials have to curry favor with these rich people. Because they want to elect, they have to win votes. Even if they are pretending, they have to do charity. His money has been stared at to death, so he needs some political donations.
And where did this money come from? Naturally, it was made from the pockets of rich people, it was that simple.
This is why, seeing Jiang Hai doesn’t support any sect, but he is so rich, and he is the local emperor in Winthrop! These people are counting on him to pay taxes and pay wages.
Everything is calculated based on percentages, not dead wages. Jiang Hai's tax payment of hundreds of millions and not paying this tax payment of billions is very different! It can be said that from the governor, to the county magistrate, police, fire brigade, retirees, even the unemployment benefits received by the unemployed on the street, there is also Jiang Hai's money, who is short-speaking and ruthless in taking advantage of others. Can they please Jiang Hai?
This time, Jiang Hai went to the Massachusetts government to discuss the matter of letting tourists go hunting.
After the report of this matter, I almost passed one hurdle a day. On the first day, I passed Boston. Without saying a word, I agreed to go to the state government. On the second day, the state government agreed to return to Boston. On the third day, Boston retrial was agreed. On the fourth day, Moses Adams was notified to come over to talk about this matter. It seemed that they were much more anxious than Jiang Hai.
It is understandable that the hunting season for the Alabachian Mountains is only the current period of the year. When it snows heavily and the snowstorm is blocked, you can't get in because there will be dangers when you go in, and only prey can be caught now.
It is too hot in summer, there are too many poisonous insects and snakes. In spring, it is the season for animals to give birth to cubs, so it is naturally necessary to protect them.
At this time, autumn is almost over, so they agreed to the matter of increasing the state government's income by 1.2 million, not to mention that they just found some instructors and other things and had supervision. For them, these are all possible. In this case, both sides hit it off.
After Jiang Hai got off the plane in Boston, Moses Adams then went directly to the state government. He had already told Jiang Hai that the specific implementation and negotiations had been almost done.
The entire tourist hunting is divided into three parts: the first is registration, the second is training, and the third is hunting.
It’s easy to register for this. Originally, Mayor Wallis meant that one person had two hundred dollars to kill, one bullet and two dollars to shoot in the mountains, and the gun was free, just like a gun shop. However, after hearing this letter, Jiang Hai directly turned the two hundred dollars into two thousand dollars.
Jiang Hai is well aware of the situation of the Chinese people. He is not a black man, but because he has a 200-meter-old knife, it actually doesn't cost much. It is converted into soft sister coins, which is more than 1,200 yuan. Nowadays, there are not many Chinese people who care about this money.
But it’s different for two thousand US dollars. This is more than 12,000 yuan. Of course, this is the deposit for registration, not the money that is really deducted. If they violate discipline or something, they will deduct this money. If they don’t violate it, they will only collect basic money.
One bullet is still two US dollars, but the gun was deducted by Jiang Hai for free. After all, this is not on the shooting range, so it will be fine for maintenance all at once. It is inevitable that you will not bump into the mountains. If it breaks, both sides will not look good.
The gun is divided into three levels: a shotgun, a shotgun and a semi-automatic rifle. The hunting rifle is 50 US dollars for rent. The damage is compensated at the price. The shotgun is 100 US dollars and the semi-automatic rifle is 100 US dollars. It is fully automatic. And when you go to bed at night, the gun will be taken back.
It is impossible to stay only for one day when entering the mountain. At night, the guards must take the gun back.
Of course, these guns were provided by Winthrop, which is Jiang Hai's gun shop, and the revenue has nothing to do with the state government.
In addition, there are also locally sold clothes, which have nothing to do with the state government.
These things are all earned by Jiang Hai and the others. Of course, the tax on the tax is also mentioned, and tax on the United States is inevitable.
The state government and Winthrop talked about money mainly in two aspects. On the one hand, it was the registration money. Of course, it was not the deposit, but the money for simply registering. Jiang Hai was not going to take these people to hunt for nothing. At that time, it would not go hunting, but on an outing. So the only people who could go hunting were men. Each person had to pay a hundred dollars for each of them to go. This was the money for entering the mountain, and at the same time, it had to pay fifty dollars. Twenty dollars was the money for insurance, and thirty dollars was the money for the instructors in charge and training. Jiang Hai and the others mainly talked about the money for this hundred and thirty dollars.
The state government means that the venue is provided by Winthrop, the hunting certificate is provided by the state government, and the personnel are also provided by the state government. They want to get 80% of the money, but Mayor Wallis only gave up 60% of it, and now he wants Jiang Hai to come and discuss the matter.
In fact, in Jiang Hai, 80% and 60% of them actually have no money, and they are only 104 US dollars in personal income. In Jiang Hai, these are all small money. In Jiang Hai, they must have to play with guns when they enter the mountain. It is considered as less than 200 bullets.
This is just 400 US dollars. The small ones can be brought back directly, while the big ones can be eaten on the spot without any money. But if you shoot a deer, you will definitely make it into a work of art to bring it back to China. The processing fee is calculated as a deer. This is a 100 US dollar knife. This is a 500 US dollar knife. In addition to clothes, Jiang Hai specially bought a batch of military products, camouflage uniforms, helmets, military boots, kettles, tactical vests, tactical backpacks, etc. When you go to the mountains to play, you will definitely get a set. This set is not expensive. You don’t have to buy this set of camouflage in China!
This adds up to 800 US dollars. After deducting the cost, Jiang Hai just takes these people into the mountains and doesn’t have any other money. One person earns at least 600 US dollars, ten is 60, and one hundred is 60,000. Winthrop’s current domestic tourist traffic is about oo people in a month, with a group of 50 or 60 people, two groups a day, and one-third of them have to go, which is a net income of 600,000, and a year is 7.2 million. Although for Jiang Hai, these money is small.
This money is more used by him to stabilize the region. With this income, it is estimated that not only the county but also the state government must be more grateful to itself!
