Blackstone Code Chapter 87: No, no, no!
Every city has some special jobs that are not very profitable, and at the same time the city hall is reluctant to do it themselves, such as city cleaners, regional service companies or public welfare undertakings.
In the past, these jobs were all managed by the Social Service Bureau. Later, due to various reasons, they finally decided to contract them to some specialized companies and enterprises.
Just like the public transportation in Sabine, this is also one of the public service businesses transferred from the Social Service Bureau.
Because these businesses, such as urban cleaning, such as garbage disposal stations, such as various welfare homes and nursing homes, are difficult to make profits, they cannot rely on cleaning staff to sweep the floor to make a lot of money. Therefore, the city hall will appropriately give some financial subsidies, and at the same time give some policy inclinations.
For example, certain tax breaks are given to encourage large companies to take the initiative to assume more social responsibilities.
So is the subsidy only available to unprofitable public service companies?
In fact, it is not always true. Everyone knows how profitable an urban transportation company is. How to determine whether a company has reached the standard of receiving subsidies depends entirely on its political value and political significance.
If necessary, the rulers of Sabine City will give some wind first, for example, what to do, hold a few hearings to listen to the opinions of industry experts and some social opinions, as long as everyone thinks there is no problem, Then the subsidy will come down.
There is a line that cannot be touched here, that is, the public should not feel that it is unnecessary to do so. In the words of the media, the federal government is an efficient and clean government that never wastes taxpayers.
Citizens may not be very good at other things, but they still know how to show their taxpayer status and make a fuss about it.
But Lynch's second-hand commodity trading auction... It's not like a public welfare cause, it's at most related to the nature of social services.
This made the expression on Ferrar's face a bit complicated. On the one hand, he felt that Lynch was a little difficult to deal with, and at the same time, he also had a feeling that he had been calling others stupid all the time, and eventually he had become a fool. .
Once Lynch can eat the subsidy, he may not even pay a half of the subsidy to himself. Although the money has nothing to do with him, Ferrara still has a kind of loss. Feel.
He didn't speak and pretended not to know, but Lynch began to increase the stakes.
"Mr. Consultant, you may not know very well. Before the end of this year, I will open the Interstellar Trading Company throughout the state, with the headquarters in Sabine City."
"At that time, I will also build a brand new warehouse area and a dedicated transportation company to activate the second-hand goods economy in the state."
"At that time, the second-hand commodity trading behavior of Interstellar Trading Company will cover the entire state, even outside the state, and the huge influence will surely provide Mr. Mayor with a prominent political achievement."
"People only need to spend less money to satisfy their pursuit of a high-quality life, and at the same time, they can greatly reduce some of the social problems that have arisen one after another."
"People always commit crimes because of poverty. Now there is a way to get money without breaking the law. As long as the federal government and state governments can find a way to boost the economy in a short period of time, we may be better than others. It’s easier for states to get out of the woods and become the focus of the nation.”
"And, I personally promise that before next year, the number of employees in my company will exceed 500, and it will only be more, not less..."
After speaking, Lynch took out the checkbook again. He was holding a pen, and the tip of the pen almost landed on the check. He looked up and asked a question that was completely unrelated to the content just now, "What is the maximum donation limit for a single person in this state? ?"
In order to limit the unethical transactions hidden between capitalists and some politicians through political donations, the federal government has stipulated the maximum donation law. Everyone has a donation limit every year, which has well curbed the capitalist Chi Guoguo's search for politics. The momentum of the spokesperson, but also makes some things that can be seen through at a glance, become a bit complicated and practically useless.
Most companies donate collectively to politicians of their camp. It is a collective collective donation, including part-time jobs that may only be a hundred dollars a month. They will also donate a cap to support political parties. Everyone knows why. and why this is so.
In order to strengthen some information management, this Act was later amended to require the recording of each donor's name and donation amount, but it still cannot prevent the transmission of benefits - donations can be over-reimbursed, people donate enthusiastically, and I also feel that the upper limit is too low!
Ferrar immediately realized what he was doing. He moved his **** again and said in a low voice, "The state stipulates that cash cannot exceed one hundred and fifty yuan..."
Lynch did not reply to him, and immediately wrote a line of numbers on the checkbook, then tore the check and pushed it over.
This is a brand new transfer check. The number of 75,000 yuan on it made Ferrar's breath quicker. He looked at the check, then looked at Lynch, and Lynch put it away He took a pen and showed a smile like sunshine all along, "I think our city has made great progress since Your Excellency the Mayor took over the city of Sabine. I very much support Your Excellency's political program and governance philosophy..."
He paused when he said, "What party is Your Excellency Mayor from?"
Ferrara almost ran away with his face covered. He raised his hand, folded his eyebrows, and said bravely, "The Federal Progressive Party..."
"Yes! Federal Progressive Party!" Lynch raised his finger and pointed to Ferrara, "Federal Progressive Party, a very good party, I know them and appreciate their performance. This is my opinion to the mayor. Your Excellency and the Federal Progressive Party's donation, is it not illegal?"
Ferrar shook his head with a wry smile. It is definitely not illegal. If it does not exceed the upper limit, it is not illegal. "But you still need a list, sir, and the list and money must be registered!"
Lynch picked up the phone book from the corner of the table and put it back on the table with a bang. He looked directly at Ferrara, with a feeling as if he was ordering him to do something, "There are not only Five hundred people!"
The two looked at each other for a moment, Ferrara sighed and nodded, he understood what Lynch meant.
Of course he didn't do these things in the end. They also have young people in their own offices who deal with the dirty work. Those people know how to extract five hundred names from the phone book to make this donation look like more complete.
He picked up the check and stuffed it into his pocket, while Lynch continued to ask, "When will my subsidy come down?"
Ferrara thought about it for a while~IndoMTL.com~ We need to study it, and there are at least five hearings. If it passes, the city hall will give you some financial or policy assistance in the form of policy support. , such as tax-free. "
Lynch raised an eyebrow, "I thought the tax exemption was only for small companies."
Compared with things like subsidies, the benefits of tax exemption are actually more objective, but not completely absolute.
For a company that can only make one million a year, if the federal government can give him an additional subsidy of 500,000, his income will exceed the tax-free policy, which will exempt him by up to 3% More than ten various taxes, that is, 300,000 yuan, but the subsidy of 500,000 yuan allows him to make some money after paying the taxes.
But for someone like Lynch who has ambitions and realizes his ambitions, tax exemption is more valuable than subsidies. He is confident that within two years or three years, he will achieve a net profit of one million, ten million or more. .
He nodded with satisfaction and asked casually, "No one will embarrass me, right?"
This sentence has a hint of warning, Ferrar shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be!"
Lynch said "Okay", then stood up, followed by Ferrara. Lynch reached out and held Ferrara's hand, he said with a smile, "Tell me to Mr. Mayor that I admire him very much and hope to have dinner together..."
Ferrar didn't have so many thoughts at this time. He nodded again and again and left as soon as possible. He didn't want to see people like Lynch again.
Looking at Ferrara's back, Lynch couldn't help laughing. Is his money so easy to get?
No, no, no one really thinks so, right?
