Chapter 691: Filing Taxes and Traveling to Texas

"Hey, your taxes here are too scary..." Qi Li naturally held Jiang Hai's arm after walking out of the tax bureau, and then said in an extremely unhappy tone. Jiang Hai also smiled after hearing her words. He could not deny that taxes in the United States were indeed too heavy.

The federal tax alone is daunting enough, but fortunately Jiang Hai earns more.

"Well, the wool comes from the sheep. The more money I pay, the higher my status here." Looking at Qi Li's pouted mouth, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smile. Jiang Hai said this but Absolutely correct.

The biggest difference between the United States and China is the difference in social status. In the United States, it is a gold standard world.

Rich people are everything. If you pay high taxes, you will naturally have prestige in the local area. After all, the wages paid by the police are all the money you pay in taxes.

As a taxpayer, you are quite impressive, even when your wealth has accumulated to a certain extent.

People from the ruling party or the opposition party will come to win over you, hoping to get political donations.

So in the United States, rich people, as long as you don't evade taxes, you will be the guest of all political dignitaries, and no one will dare to deal with you.

Just like Jiang Hai, although he still has zero relationship with the upper echelons of American imperialism, in Winthrop, he is the emperor of China.

Of course, the premise is that all taxes must be paid. The most terrifying agency in the United States is not the FBI or CIA, but the tax bureau.

There are many predators and tycoons involved, and the biggest crime is tax evasion. Jiang Hai is a Chinese, so he is very careful in this regard. The taxes he pays every year are all paid by Moses- It was made by three accountants that Adams hired to work out the accounts together.

Except for the jewelry he sold, all his normal income was taxed, even the one million yuan from selling fish.

However, despite Jiang Hai's success here, if he were in China, he would still have to keep his tail between his legs.

Because the social position in China is official-based, no matter how rich you are, no matter how much money you make, it is useless, because your land belongs to the state, and it can be taken back when the state says it wants to take it back. If some of these officials take a fancy to it, If you say you want to take it back, you can still take it back. At most, you will be given some compensation.

But no one knows how much compensation will be left after these layers of compensation.

Moreover, in China, becoming an official is the best way out. No matter how wealthy a businessman is, he cannot withstand a word from an official.

The main thing is to destroy the family, and the deputy department is to destroy the family. This is no joke! Of course, people above the hall are not allowed to appear here.

Jiang Hai doesn't want to be banned for no apparent reason, so in this book, the biggest official that appears is the division level.

But it is very easy for this division-level cadre to deal with a billionaire... Okay, just think of it as easy.

Anyway, Jiang Hai didn't dare to return to China to develop. He was really scared. When he woke up, his manor became someone else's.

This is the difference between the official standard and the gold standard. The gold standard looks more red and cruel, just like a pack of wolves. If you want to survive, you have to find food and eat other animals. When you develop into the strongest among the group of wolves, then you are a wolf king, and the official position is an official herding a group of sheep. In his eyes, these sheep are treated equally. If he looks at which They are pleasing to the eye and will give some support, but they are still a flock of sheep themselves.

For rich people, the gold standard is much better than the official standard. At least it can ensure their own safety. But for ordinary people, the official standard is actually more conducive to governance, more stable, and there will be fewer social conflicts. , don’t worry about scarcity but worry about inequality, that’s what it means.

Okay, Jiang Hai went a little far, but now he is relieved because the biggest thing this year has been solved.

Unknowingly, Qi Li has been here with Jiang Hai for almost half a month. During this half month, Jiang Hai and the others have been busy, busy building the company, and busy preparing to participate in the Texas All-American Beef Championship. The beef cattle showing off are busy dealing with things in the manor...

Zheng Jin, who was recommended by Qi Li, is indeed a good person. She has really learned a lot by being by Qi Li's side these years.

Her fluent English makes it easy for her to live here. Coupled with Jiang Hai's own influence in Boston, at least Zhang Dehai and Moses Adams will definitely take care of her. Under such circumstances, Zheng Jin's efficiency It's really unusually high.

It seems that domestic affairs have not affected her, managing the company, decorating the company, purchasing tables and chairs, interviewing employees, etc...

It can be said that Zheng Jin arranged these tasks in an orderly manner very easily. After watching her for a week, he found that she was really the material.

Jiang Hai signed a contract with her, and Jiang Hai hired her to be the chief CEO of Tenglong Company. Her main job was in two major categories, publicity and transportation. She promoted the beef and seafood produced in Jiang Hai's Tenglong Manor, and transportation. He is responsible for transporting these things through security inspection and delivering them back to the imperial capital of China to Qi Li, or to big cities in the United States, where there will naturally be people from the Maritime Supermarket to receive them.

She is mainly responsible for matters such as aircraft, routes and maintenance, and she handles these very well.

As for the salary, Jiang Hai gave her one million U.S. dollars a year. Although it was not a particularly large amount, in some domestic companies, for those who can be promoted to general managers, one million U.S. dollars a year was actually just a basic figure. After all, only It’s only over six million, and you still have to pay taxes.

But what is really valuable is the company's 10% dividend. Jiang Hai holds 100% of the company's shares, but she can enjoy 10% of the dividend. This is also her goal. According to her estimation, if If this company does well, compensation will be impossible.

After all, most of the business has been contracted out, so even if you don't make money in a year, you will still have to make a net profit of 30 to 40 million yuan.

Ten percent, which is three to four million, is a beautiful thing, and it is not a small amount of money for Zheng Jin.

Whether it was for money or for Qi Li, her work was very serious. Apart from leaving an accountant, Jiang Hai was too lazy to take care of other things and left them all to her. In Jiang Hai's eyes, he is a complete professional.

After handing over the company to Zheng Jin, Jiang Hai and the others also put more thought into the manor.

This half month may be the happiest half month that Qi Li has lived since his father passed away, because during this half month, Jiang Hai would sleep with her in his arms every night. Although he would leave for a while at night, When she fell asleep, Jiang Hai was by her side, and when she woke up, Jiang Hai was by her side. There was no pressure from work, and she just played with Jiang Hai in the manor every day.

Or go see the cows, ride a horse, or go to the greenhouse that has been built to grow vegetables with Darlene and the others, or go to the winery to talk to Aphra and the others about the ripeness of the grapes, and then Under the vines with a glass of wine that's ready to drink.

If you are tired of playing on land, you can go to the sea to go fishing, fishing, diving to catch lobsters...

Otherwise, we could make an appointment with Ai Xiaoxi and Feng Yunchen, who are almost mute here, to visit the small town of Winthrop.

Buy some indigenous Indian products or check out seasonal clothes. To be honest, Qi Li really doesn’t want to leave...

But a phone call made her break away from this thought. She could stay here, but she couldn't watch her father's company collapse or fall into the hands of others. This was her last choice. Don't want to see it.

It is precisely because of this that after Qi Li paid taxes with Jiang Hai, she was about to leave. But this time, Ai Xiaoxi and Feng Yunchen would not leave. This time, they were already mentally prepared. , they want to stay with Jiang Hai.

If Qi Jie and Qi Ya come back, there will be seven people in Jiang Hai's villa, and it seems to be getting more and more lively.

Recently, they have been learning English with Darlene and Marianne. Seeing their transformation, Jiang Hai felt very happy.

Time sometimes goes by very quickly without realizing it. In the blink of an eye, Qi Li has been here with Jiang Hai for three weeks, and on this day, she is officially leaving. However, when she came, the four of them left. Then she was the only one left.

Ai Xiaoxi and Feng Yunchen decided to stay at Jiang Hai's villa. Whether they can go back or not is another matter, but at least they won't leave now.

Zheng Jin has become Jiang Hai's CEO and signed a one-year work contract. The visa was easily obtained with Jiang Hai's help.

So this time, she simply refused to leave, and Qi Li was not prepared to let her leave. You must know that the country is very troublesome.

"You have to take care of yourself." Jiang Hai and Qi Li stood opposite each other outside the departure hall of Guaraldi Airport in New York. Looking at Jiang Hai in front of them, Qi Li said with some worry. She didn't know when she would start. His heart was completely tied to Jiang Hai.

"You too, if you feel anything is wrong, contact me immediately. I can return to the country or pick you up. Don't forget, I... am still your husband." Looking at Qi Li, Jiang Hai hesitated. Said to Qi Li.

"Hey, you still know that you are my husband, but unfortunately, my husband is a big ****. I think you have eaten almost all the women in your manor, and you even lied to me at the beginning. He said that he doesn't have the heart for Aphra and the others. Rabbits don't eat grass from the edge of their nests... I see that you are nibbling nothing now..." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Qi Li showed a hint of displeasure on her face, but She was already happy in her heart. Husband, it was really not an easy thing to say these two words from Jiang Hai's mouth, but she had to accept it and she had to say what she needed to say. I don't know how she tolerated Jiang Hai having so many women, maybe it was to compensate, or for something else, but Qi Li found that she really didn't seem to care about it.

Compared to those women, she was more concerned about whether she could stay with Jiang Hai. This was more important.

"I...I'm leaving, don't miss me too much." Seeing that the plane over there had begun to check in, Qi Li knew that she had to leave. She glanced at Jiang Hai, took a deep breath, and then He hugged Jiang Hai, kissed Jiang Hai on the mouth, and said in his ear.

Then she picked up her luggage and left quickly. She did not look back, because she didn't know if she would be willing to leave if she looked back at Jiang Hai. The life and people here in Jiang Hai were changing. Constantly destroying her strong female side.

She didn't know if she still had the ability to return to the imperial capital and be her iron-blooded president after looking back.

But in Qi Li's heart, a seed has been planted. It seems that it is time for her to consider retirement.

Once you find someone you can trust and hand over the company to him, you can then come to Jiang Hai. This is a good thing.

Seeing Qi Li's figure entering the airport, Jiang Hai felt a little empty deep in his heart.

In fact, although Jiang Hai is living a good life here, in fact he is also a little lonely. He has no shortage of friends. Everyone in Winthrop is his friend, but when this friend is linked to interests, friendship will No longer so pure, of course, this is just Jiang Hai having more things to do.

Jiang Hai also has no shortage of women. Aphra and the others are indeed related to Jiang Hai just like what Qi Li said.

But the relationship between him and them is more of a superior-subordinate relationship, rather than an equal relationship between male and female friends...

Ai Xiaoxi couldn't give her this, Feng Yunchen couldn't give it to her, Pula Walton couldn't give it to her, and even Qi Jie and Qi Ya couldn't give him the feeling of Qi Li. Qi Li is Qi Li, Qi Jie is Qi Jie , Qi Ya is Qi Ya, Ai Xiaoxi is Ai Xiaoxi...

Every woman around Jiang Hai is individual and irreplaceable. Whoever leaves will feel a little empty in his heart.

"I'm still not strong enough. Sooner or later, I will let all my women surround me. Now that I have the ability not to open a harem, will it be a waste to join the old company?" He laughed at himself, always thinking that he is just himself It was Jiang Hai who had no dreams, but it was because of Qi Li that he had his first dream, which can also be said to be ambition. Although this ambition seems unseemly, to some extent, it can be regarded as a main line...

After calming down, Jiang Hai drove the car and returned to the manor. The next day, he had to go to Boston, because after Qi Li left, Qi Jie and Qi Ya were about to come back, and they had already taken care of it these days. Things in Miami, that huge white research institute, have been sold by Qi Jie. Anyway, Qi Ya's disease has been completely cured, and they will officially return tomorrow.

However, Jiang Hai couldn't spend too much time with them, because he was leaving soon. This time, his target was Texas! (To be continued.)
