American Legendary Life

Chapter 42: It's time to buy a house

  Time is the best medicine. Wait a few months, the optimistic and cheerful American people will adapt to all this.

   "Hi, are you bankrupt?"

   "Hi, are you bankrupt?"

   "Yeah! Haha, it feels good to go bankrupt. I am in a relaxed mood now and I don’t have to worry about endless meetings anymore."

   "Yeah! My heart will no longer fluctuate with the stock market, and may have a heart attack at any time, and die so pitifully."

   "That's awesome. Moving bricks every day makes my body stronger. Do you want to join?"

   "Can you move bricks? Great, please have a drink at night..."

  Look at how harmonious society is, the optimistic American people have become stronger.

  Tianjiang Daren is also responsible for the people. He must first suffer your mind, work your muscles and bones, starve your skin, and empty your body.

   Then... you get used to it, admit your life, and know how to enjoy yourself in bitterness.

   As for such a vulgar thing to make money and enjoy, let it be given to the brazen salted fish!

   "Hi, Juliana." Looking at Juliana, who was depressed and sitting in the public hall on the second floor for coffee, Li Zitao spread her arms enthusiastically.

   Before he approached, he raised his head and saw that Juliana was rushing up, a pair of beautiful eyes shining like night stars.

   "Hey, I added a local tyrant BUFF, and really killed!" Li Zitao's thought of pride had just risen, and he felt his neck tighten.

  Juliana reached for his collar and dragged it forward, her face close to her face and excitedly said: "Hurry and tell me, who did the plan there?"

   "..." Li Zitao was sullenly faced, ‘Is it the wrong posture of turning over, shouldn’t she throw her arms around, and then I turned over my pajamas and fell under my suit pants? ’

   "What plan?" Li Zitao was a little confused.

   "Tooneyovernight." Juliana's face was closer and closer, he could already feel the other person's warm breath.

   "Cough, maybe I'll tell you someday, but it won't work now." Li Zitao took the collar back from her, he is busy now.

  Looking at the crimson gate, the copper cast ‘22’ sign next to it, and the two-layer gate encryption to prevent prying eyes, Li Zitao suddenly felt like he was in the wrong place.

   "What is this doing?" Li Zitao looked at Ben and asked.

  After he explained it, Li Zitao knew that the 2nd to 3rd floors had officially become a club, and only the 1st floor lobby was reserved for the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and SHIELD...

   "Ben, according to your ideas, how much will we lose?" Li Zitao asked at Ben's desk while watching him.

"Between 30 million and 50 million." There was a flesh of pain in Ben's eyes. Fortunately, he has always been able to restrain the greed in his heart, otherwise he will never make a suggestion to leave the scene as soon as possible, even if he takes some risks. Belongs to his interests.

   "...According to what you said." Li Zitao also suffered from heartache, but he was more concerned about his own safety than money.

   There is money and no life to spend on this kind of thing. It happens every day. Li Zitao's wings have just opened. If you don't want to die, you must know how to act in a low-key manner.

   "How is my building selected?" After finishing this matter, he remembered the question about the headquarters building again.

   Both the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and SHIELD are moving out, where they are as pitiful as the stepmother.

   "BOSS, 400 Michigan Avenue and 13 Roosevelt Road, are all good choices, here is their information." The handover file said.

   "For you." Li Zitao habitually doesn't want to read documents, and has a headache! !

  “……Michigan 400 building, which has been in use for 5 years, is composed of two buildings in front and back, covers an area of ​​12.082 acres, is the most famous building on the gorgeous Mile Road,

  Roosevelt Road 13 Grand Theatre, a total of 3 floors, 14 meters high, covering 22 acres. "

   Opera House No. 13 is the earliest opera house in Chicago. Profits began to decline three years ago. It has been seeking to disengage. The Great Depression came, and it was even worse.

  Although it does not meet Li Zitao's requirements, Ben suggested to take this opera house for the 22 acres of land below it.

   "BOSS, we can dismantle the opera house and build a landmark building headquarters belonging to the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce on it. The amount of funds you have is too large.

   should be spent as soon as possible, otherwise, the officials of the Internal Revenue Service will open champagne for you. As for the 400th building, it can be directly put into use as the headquarters building of SHIELD. "

   Hearing this, Li Zitao nodded immediately, "Go, take me to see."

   That's right, spending the money as quickly as possible is the tax cut method the think tank has found for him.

   This money is paid between April and May next year. At present, the domestic economy in the United States continues to collapse, the unemployment rate has risen linearly, and the relevant taxation of various states are adjusting.

  At this time, as long as Li Zitao invests heavily in industry to create jobs for various places, his tax will be largely offset by the tax laws of the state government.

   As for the remaining part of the national tax, the amount of millions of dollars depends on whether the federal policy will be changed in the future.

   The American tax law is the most complicated and incomprehensible in the world. It is also similar to the previous world, divided into national tax and local tax (state tax).

   Regarding state taxation, William Deffer said that as long as he can create 500 jobs for Chicago, he can help him with half of the tax credit.

   As the mayor of Chicago, the second largest city in the United States, William Deffer can still guarantee this. Moreover, he is now a ‘star’ politician.

   first came to the 400th Street in Michigan Avenue, surrounded by luxury shops everywhere, the streets were full of gorgeously dressed successful people.

  Even during the depression, it was already orderly and prosperous.

  Turn right at the crossroads ahead and it is the famous magnificent mile. Not far behind is the hotel where Li Zitao stayed last night, Tangma Hotel.

   This is the most prosperous area in Chicago, everyone is proud to be able to work here, it is a symbol of wealth.

   Building 400 itself, looks like a double building with Gothic style, white facade, small windows in the compartment, a bit like the previous life's ‘pigeon cage. ’

   "The other side of the block is mainly engaged in finance, although there are also suitable goals, but..." This is pointing to the opposite block, what I want to say, a shadow falls from the sky.

  嘭!

   The blood stained the ground, and the crowd walking on the street stopped indifferently. After drawing a cross on their fingers, they continued to move forward calmly.

   They have no time to mourn, because no one knows whether the next one who jumped from above will be themselves.

   "You see, the environment there is a bit bad." If it was two months ago, people who heard this sentence would laugh.

  Assemble the financial elites from all over Chicago. Every company, branch or office has a famous financial street in North America, but now...

   Any industry related to finance is like a quail under the cold winter, trembling.

"Go to the Opera House." Although Li Zitao's hands were also covered with blood, he saw the banker who had stirred up the situation in the financial field, so he jumped from the roof and turned into a **** body. His heart is still a bit bored.

   "Go to the Roosevelt Opera House 13." Seeing that the boss was in a bad mood, Ben immediately told the driver.

   The car drove south. When entering Wacker Avenue, Li Zitao's sight appeared a towering, majestic building like the city wall, the Civic Opera House.

   "Are you talking about here?" Li Zitao suddenly became interested.

   "...BOSS, you are so humorous. This opera has just been built for 5 months. It is the most luxurious opera house in Chicago and the second largest theater in the United States.

  From the start of construction to use, it cost 30 million US dollars before and after. "

   Seeing this speechless expression, Li Zitao knew that he would be mistaken, but he was really interested in this opera house, because it looked very... style, yes!

   "Can you buy it?" Li Zitao pointed to the Civic Opera House and said that the car had turned and he looked back reluctantly.

   "Try it." Ben Yin replied.

  The Chicago Civic Opera House, from the capital behind it, happened to be the first members of the SHIELD 22 club, utility giant, industrial giant Samuel Insall.

  Owned under its name are the US Federal Signal Corporation, Federal Edison Corporation, People's Gas Corporation and Northern Indiana Public Service Corporation.

   Insal also owns many railway companies~www.readwn.com~ including Chicago North Shore Company and Milwaukee Railway Rapid Transit Company, Chicago Rapid Transit Company, Chicago South Bank Company, South Bend Railway Company.

   But the leader of the business empire who walked out of Edison General Electric Company and established a market value of 500 million dollars in one hand has recently been in great trouble.

   So I realized that maybe taking this opportunity, he could take the BOSS for the big opera house that had just been put into use and faced the end of the cold winter.

   I saw the Civic Opera House, and then came to the Opera House 13. The old style, the shabby walls and the dusty grueiness made Li Zitao even have no idea of ​​staying.

   "Buy it, dismantle and rebuild it, I need a technology building full of futuristic atmosphere, not an artwork for appreciation. Practicality is the key."

  His company is not engaged in art, so it’s okay to do art and literature! He didn't expect to open the headquarters in the future, as a tourist attraction.

  Li Zitao's favorite design is the 21st century with a glass-like solar panel for the facade, which looks full of science fiction, but he also knows that this is unrealistic.

   "BOSS, do you have any requirements for architectural style?" On the way back, I was already making preliminary plans, thinking about which famous architects to look for to participate in the design.

   "Well? Look for the D people to build, and the house they built is strong." Li Zitao said casually, the reason was so strong that this speechless refute, ‘God TM... is strong. ’

   "The 400 building hangs under my name. I will rent them as offices for the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and the SHIELD Bureau. Is this also an expense?"

   Hearing Li Zitao's words, Ben gave a thumbs up and said, "BOSS, you are a born businessman."

  Li Zitao smiled and said ‘savvy, you mean treacherous black heart? ’
