Almighty sign in

"Mr. Thompson, you are welcome."

Xu Ang smiled on the surface, but he was very puzzled.

Little Thompson is not in the Auto City, so why did he come to Beverly Hills?Isn't he running for mayor, is it really good to leave at this time?

"Nice to see you again, Xu."

Little Thompson warmly gave Xu Ang a hug.

Of course, Xu Angke couldn't hold him because of his size, so he could only pat his back fakely.

"Xu, there are too many abandoned factories in the Auto City now, and their prices are very cheap. There is no more cost-effective business than buying them."

As soon as Jr. Thompson talked about this, Xu Ang knew what he was coming from-he was running for mayor to get more votes.

The other party was straightforward, and Xu Ang did not hide it from him: "Mr. Thompson, my factory in the Auto City has provided nearly 4,000 jobs, giving at least 2,000 families a source of income. Workers will not have a job. Wandering on the streets, this contribution to the security of the Auto City is not small. If nothing happens, the crime rate of the Auto City will drop significantly this year. When it comes to the contribution to the Auto City, I have done it to the extreme ."

it is as expected.

Little Thompson knew Xu Ang would say such things.

When he learned that Xu Ang intended to slow down the factory expansion in the Auto City, he knew that Xu Ang did not want to make more investments in the Auto City, and Xu Ang would not do that for at least some time.

When he arrived in Beverly Hills, when Xu Ang said that he had reached the limit, Thompson became more certain.

It is said that investing or not investing is Xu Ang's own business, and has nothing to do with Thompson.

But things don’t look like this.

If you do not continue to invest, how can you expand your influence in the city of automobiles?

Without expanding influence, how can the votes that Xu Ang can control increase?

This will affect Thompson's votes in the mayoral campaign, and Thompson is naturally unwilling to develop things like this.

However, listening to Xu Ang's tone, he knew that he had made a decision, and it was not easy to persuade him.

General persuasion will not work.

Little Thompson quickly made a judgment. He immediately discarded the several persuasion plans he had planned before coming, and switched to another method.

"Xu, this is not you. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Xu Ang glanced at Little Thompson, but didn't bother to take the words.

I am a Chinese. You told me that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Let me solve the employment problem for you Americans. Are you sure you are serious?

"You know, there are too many abandoned factories in the Auto City. The owners of these factories have all abandoned them. As long as someone is willing to take over, they are even willing to give them away for free."

Xu Ang still did not respond.

Flicker, then flicker.

How is it possible that your factory used it as a gift.

Little Thompson said, "How can this be impossible? Don't forget the vampires from the IRS."

"Taxes?" Xu Ang began to face up to Thompson's words, "I almost forgot. The taxation of the United States is touching."

This country on the other side of the ocean is different from China. Its housing purchase prices are not high, but taxes are high.

The kind that is collected every year.

It is not uncommon for people who can afford a house but cannot pay taxes here. The city of automobiles has been in decline for so many years. For the owner, the abandoned factory buildings are not only unable to generate income for themselves, but they have to be collected by the IRS every year. A lot of money is already a hot potato.

If someone is willing to take it, they are of course willing to get rid of bad assets.

"interesting."

Xu Ang smiled. Just when Thompson thought he was close to success, he said: "Even if the factory gave me free, I would not be responsible for the taxes owed by these people before, but this year is almost half past half of the year. I have to pay taxes on these discarded things in the right amount of time, which is too uneconomical. Thompson, you should know that it takes time to dismantle the old and build the new ones, and it also takes a lot of money to buy new machines and new production lines. "

He didn't directly refuse, but the meaning in Xu Ang's words was already obvious.

He didn't want to take this mess.

He and Jr. Thompson are in a cooperative relationship. Since it is a cooperation, the two sides have to be mutually beneficial.Just the little benefit that Thompson just offered is far from enough. You must know that even if you don’t need to remind him, when Xu Ang wants to expand the factory area of ​​the Auto City, the factory owners around the abandoned factories will beg him to buy him. It’s not a lot of money.

Of course, Thompson knew that such a little benefit was not enough to make Xu Ang change his mind, and he needed more weight to achieve his goal.

He said to Xu Ang: "You look down on the city of automobiles too much, Xu. This city was once the pride of the U.S. and the jewel of the automobile industry. If the automobile industry hadn't fallen, its glory would continue, let alone It will make so many machines rust in the factory, until now it becomes a pile of garbage that people are not even interested in recycling."

Ok?

Feeling that there was something in Thompson's words, Xu Ang began to ponder what he said just now.

Soon, Xu Ang discovered the point.

He asked little Thompson: "The machine?"

The latter nodded with a smile: "The machine."

It took a lot of effort for Xu Ang to not let himself explode the chemical formula of calcium oxide. He felt that little Thompson was crazy.If this kind of thing is exposed, neither he nor Thompson will be able to eat.

The leak will be serious, but if it is done, the benefits will be extremely huge.

Unconsciously lowering his voice, Xu Ang asked, "How many are there? They can still be used? Even if I get them, under what name will they be shipped?"

"The intact machines will not be kept until now. They have long been sold by those factory owners. Of course, some large machines and if they are not sold at a price, they will be left there at a loss if they are dismantled and sold. But if you have the technology To refurbish them, or recruit people to repair them, the available machines are enough to set up three production lines."

There was no strangeness on his face, but Thompson also lowered his voice.

If you don't stand beside him and Xu Ang and hear the content of the conversation between him and Xu Ang with your own ears, you will only think that they are chatting.

"How about the technical level... Forget it, the Auto City has been in decline for so many years, and the level of these three production lines is estimated to be choking."

Saying that, Xu Ang didn't dislike it at all.

He still knows the level of the domestic auto industry and the level of the U.S. auto industry.

The most difficult thing is not from one to ten thousand, but from zero to one. The former is an increase in quantity, while the latter is a qualitative change.

Since ancient times, starting from scratch is the most difficult hurdle to overcome.

Little Thompson chuckled, Xu Ang knew it well, if it weren't for more than a generation of machines, he wouldn't dare to think about it.

"If the scrap iron and garbage generated by the demolition of old factories are left in the U.S. to deal with the cost too high, it will make the car city's un-rich finances worse. But if these scrap iron and garbage can generate income for the city's finances, it is not necessary. They can be dealt with at the expense of the US environment. I can't think of a reason to oppose it."

Xu Ang looked at Thompson and confirmed: "Can it be shipped?"

"I am responsible for the delivery, but you will pay for it. After all, it is just a batch of useless scrap iron and garbage."

"Well, Mr. Thompson, you convinced me." Xu Ang reached out to Thompson, "I am happy that the residents of the Auto City will have a wise mayor like you."

"I'm glad you listened to my advice, my friend."

Indeed friends.

You see, we just had a wave of friends.
