Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 117 Boss, I want to make a game
Just when Ethan was muttering, even if he was the commander of America, he couldn't be busier than himself, Nintendo also called over the first dividend of "Snake" in the book.

As Hiroshi Yamauchi said before, in the first phase, 420 million US dollars, not too much, not too much, appeared in the personal accounts of Ethan and Evelyn in the form of half-and-half.

With the dividends in place, Evelyn's estate plan was officially put on her agenda.

According to Evelyn's original idea, it was to buy a piece of land in California, or in other words, the Bay Area, and then invite a designer to come and investigate, based on the actual situation, combined with her own ideas, and then designed a land in her mind. Ideal residence in .

However, she just told Thomas about her thoughts, and wanted Thomas to help her pay attention to whether there is any land suitable for building a house near the Bay Area...

Thomas' startled voice almost knocked the roof off.

"What?"

"Are you going to buy a piece of land and build a manor alone?"

"Oh! Are you crazy? This will cost a lot of money!"

Thomas' eyes stared like copper bells, his brows frowned like abysses, his face showed surprise, and he almost wrote the words 'Are you idiots' on his face.

This performance made Evelyn a little puzzled. The girl didn't understand why her father reacted so strongly to her behavior of earning money and spending it on her own. Ethan, who had seen his uncle's wisdom, felt that Thomas should not be building a manor. objected to the matter.

"Thomas, what do you mean..." Ethan looked puzzled and humbly asked for advice.

Sure enough, following Ethan's inquiry, Thomas put away his surprise, and instead knocked on the table with heartache, "Evelyn, Ethan, I know you guys can make a lot of money now, but no matter how fast you make money, you can't What a waste of money! I have no objection if you want to build a manor, but I am against you buying land and only building a manor!"

"If I were you guys, I would definitely buy an agricultural land and build a manor on it. In this way, I can pay a lot less land tax..."

It turns out that in America, the calculation method of land tax will change according to the type of land use.If the nature of a piece of land is residential or commercial land, then the owner of the land needs to pay land tax according to the municipal valuation and tax rate. Although the municipal valuation is generally lower than the actual market value, compared with agricultural land, then It will be much higher.

Take the land under Thomas's name as an example. The current market price of 20 acres of land is only [-] US dollars, and the municipal valuation is only one-third of the original value, so the tax base is [-] US dollars.

The property tax rate in California is between 750% and 1000%. Therefore, the annual taxes that Thomas needs to pay generally fluctuate between US$[-] and US$[-].

And because the agricultural land is exempted by 90.00%, so...

What he really handed over in a year was only in his early [-]s at most!
"So, if you really want to buy land to build a manor, my personal suggestion is to buy a piece of ready-made agricultural land, or buy a piece of wasteland with hydrology, climate and terrain that are suitable for agricultural production, and then certify it as a Agricultural land……"

"Then, you can take that piece of land and build a manor."

"The only thing to note is that since it is agricultural land, some agricultural production must be carried out, and some agricultural transactions need to be carried out every year, otherwise..."

Thomas raised an eyebrow at the two of them.

"The county government may not take care of it, but no one can guarantee whether someone will report it."

Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief at these words.

Then he moved to Linda's side, hugged her arm, and said loudly, "Linda—"

"You take care of Dad!"

"Just scared me to death!"

"I thought he was going to scold me!"

"Alright, alright, alright..." Linda, who had been listening all the time, laughed heartily at Evelyn's smirk, "I'll beat up Thomas in a moment to vent your anger on you..."

While they were joking, Ethan's thoughts suddenly diverged.

Because Thomas' words reminded him of a big boss in his previous life——

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

After Jeff Bezos got rich, his favorite thing to do was to buy land. What he bought was not wasteland, but all kinds of farmland. He has hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Texas, and In the end, it became the launch base of Blue Origin. The most important thing is that when a reporter visited Blue Origin, he accidentally discovered that there was a circle of pastures with cattle on the periphery of the rocket launch base.

When he first saw the news, Ethan was complaining about raising cattle outside the rocket launch base. How could there be a modern version of playing the piano with cows?

Could it be that the meat of the cow will be firmer after witnessing the rocket launch?
But now, he feels that he has already guessed the truth. The biggest use of cattle is to reduce taxes.

"These rich people are really playing around~" Ethan sighed in his heart.

Since Thomas has a lot of experience in things like buying land and building a manor, Ethan doesn't worry about it anymore, let the father and daughter toss, he just needs to sign and pay for it.

After throwing this matter out, the [-] general election also entered a critical period. When the official voting began, Ethan also cast his own solemn vote in the San Jose constituency.

Of course, he also called on his friends to vote for the governor of Georgia.

As November [-] approached, the governor of Georgia made it to the top without any surprises.Within a few days, Barbara Babcock was sending out party invitations to her friends.According to Evelyn, the mage has received accurate information. Her final position will be inspector general, and when she takes office...

"It should be next year."

Evelyn smiled and said, "Barbara will leave next year, and Vinton will also leave."

"One is going to the DoJ and the other is going to the DoD."

The girl is a little sad.

But Ethan said with emotion: "Oh——Barbara going to DoJ? Vinton going to DoD? This is really great! They all have a bright future!"

Such words made Evelyn nod her head.

But before she could agree, Ethan said again: "But you are different——"

"You still have to stay in school and wait for your diploma."

'...'

Hearing the half-joking words, the girl was taken aback.

In the next second, her face darkened, "What are you talking about?"

"I also have a bright future, okay!"

"At least--"

"They don't have money like me."

This argument made Ethan laugh out loud.

Because he clearly remembered that Evelyn wanted to be academic before.

But now...

Under the corruption of money, girls also pursue material things!

However, before Ethan could smile for a while, Evelyn, who was furious, raised her right hand and gave Ethan a few slaps, "I'll make you laugh, I'll make you laugh!"

Although Ethan joked about the appointment of Barbara and Vinton, he did not forget to prepare congratulations.

And the night of the party, the mage even got drunk.

Now that the time has come to the end of the year, Ethan can no longer be interested in working. After asking the factory and confirming that the dealer still hasn't come, he told Michael to be more careful, and then put the matter aside. Had a birthday at the end of January and made preparations for the upcoming Christmas in early December.

Unlike last year’s simple greeting during the busy research and development, Ethan bought gifts for everyone this year. The men bought a Parker pen and a case of local Riesling wine, and the women bought Tiffany’s handbags. Add a bottle of Chanel aromatherapy.

If you can deliver it in person, then send it in person; if you can't, send it in person.

The employees in the company...

The year-end bonus of the three supervisors is [-] dollars. As long as the employees below participate in the production of "Pac-Man", they can get a reward of [-] dollars per person. If they come in the second half, they will also get [-] dollars , and this, in fact, was specially sent to Michael and the others.

Not only that, but on Christmas Day, Ethan also held a party at his home and invited Michael and the others to join them. Although their answers were awkward, they had a great time.

At the party, they also hold wine bottles and look forward to the future——

"This year I can learn how to make an electronic arcade, and next year I will definitely be able to bring my children back!"

"The house has been built, and I can find a wife next year!"

"Oh, I don't think what you think, I just want a baby..."

The simple wish made Ethan smile.

Because at this time, he felt that there was something called hope in front of him.

And when Michael left after the party, he also pulled Ethan to talk for a while.

To sum it up briefly, some comrades who retired from the army also wanted to come to work after learning about Ethan's identity. They didn't want to get the same treatment as Michael. The identity of being bullied by outsiders.

For this request, Esenna naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

"Oh Michael, you let them come here."

"Since it's my own person, I can help if I can."

"You don't have to worry about not having enough jobs, because in addition to the company called Destiny Games, I also have a computer company and a chip company under my name. There must be jobs, and the salary..."

"I try to be as unbiased as possible."

This promise made Michael overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

And after that, Ethan also realized his wish that he didn't realize the year before.

Before "Snake" was not released, Ethan planned to hunt.

But it was delayed due to various things.

Now it's different, he and his family went to Texas, where the people are tough.

Here comes an exciting winter hunt.

They didn't return to California until the end of January, and at this time, Damio Dean also found Ethan and said solemnly: "Boss, I want to make a game."

'Yo...'

'Think about it! '

Ethan was happy.

However, before he could open his mouth to appreciate, Julis Noble broke in——

"Boss, it's not good, something happened!"

　Thanks to [The Wolf in the Wind] [Yishan Daojun] for the reward of 500 starting coins, and thanks to [Sannong Fisherman] for the reward of 100 starting coins.
