Chapter 1062: Taking Benefits and Doing Practical Things

Guess who Xiao Qi gave as a personal thank you fee?

Professor Smith?

Dr. Anderson?

Ok.

In fact, they have both!

It's just that the 2 million US dollars each was delivered to them in a very secret way, all in cash, and the transfer will attract the attention of the Internal Revenue Service and the FBI.

Here I would like to mention the most perverted department in the United States, that is, the U.S. Taxation Service.

Do you think the Prism Gate in 2013 was earth-shattering?

In fact, within the United States, the tax bureau monitors the American people all the time.

If you have more money on your account that is not considered ordinary income, then they will be the first to know and start investigating.

If you have bought too many things in some shopping malls recently, they will know the first time and calculate the money you used. If it is unreasonable, they will start an investigation.

Once you are watched by this group of people, believe me, you will definitely be ten times worse than being watched by the FBI.

Many Chinese people go to the United States, and the most uncomfortable thing is their tax bureau, because here, unless you are a big cow like Xiao Qi who hired an international accounting firm, otherwise you have to pay taxes on all income, so there is no domestic income. Tax evasion is so terrible.

Here, you will feel that you are more suppressed and monitored than in the country. The so-called freedom of the American people is long live. They are all farting in front of the tax bureau. No one dares to control them at all, they are the most powerful city management in the world!

Back to the topic.

Although Xiao Qi gave a lot of money, neither Smith nor Anderson knew that the other party also took the money, and Xiao Qi did not leave any evidence. It's just a verbal agreement.

Now it seems that the two of them are not bad, and they know how to collect money to do things.

very strange?

A rigorous former university professor and a knowledgeable Ph.D. in geological prospecting are all so greedy for money?

wrong!

This is the case in the United States, people are proud of making money, as long as it is not illegal. They can all do it.

Xiao Qi just asked them to seriously explore the earthquake zone in Huaguo, especially the Nongmen Mountains in Shuchuan. If someone asks about the situation, they can exaggerate it - and it doesn't hurt the world, the Yankees can take the money with peace of mind .

According to the level of the US Geological Survey, such active plate activity and energy accumulation in the Nongmen Mountains have been detected for nearly two months, and they are well understood.

More than 30 senior exploration team members, everyone's opinions when discussing. Most of them are set between 7.0-7.6, which is a relatively conservative and error-free data.

But the two people who received the money naturally wanted to exaggerate, and directly warned the highest 8.0—you know, the power of 7.9 and 8.0 earthquakes is far from the same level, which involves an explosion of energy equivalent more than dozens of times , so 8.0 can already be called a super disaster.

Members of the US Geological Survey. Neither spoke, because they felt. My two bosses deliberately spoke seriously to make them vigilant because they were not resentful of the Chinese people's attitude of not paying attention.

Neither Anderson nor Smith were idiots. They vaguely felt that the other party might have received the same money as themselves, but they both tacitly did not ask. No discussion.

Hearing that Smith was exaggerating the extent of the damage, Anderson started from another angle: "We went down the Nongmen Mountains and went around the area where earthquakes may occur, including your houses in Daoyin City and Changming City. Take a look. With all due respect, the quality of many of your old houses is really bad! Let alone an earthquake of magnitude 8, even a magnitude 6 earthquake is enough! Only some elementary schools built in the countryside are not only beautiful, but also very It is sturdy and durable, and you have a sense of responsibility, knowing that you should maintain the safety of your children!"

Anderson said checking houses around the earthquake zone is a necessary step in seismic surveys to assess the safety of people's lives and property.

In the U.S., if the houses are not built enough, they will suggest that the government immediately demolish these buildings and rebuild new and safe houses, so as to ensure that the people will not be harmed in the earthquake.

Listening to Anderson's disdainful tone, Xiao Xu felt his face was hot.

Although these buildings have nothing to do with him, the overall quality of housing in Huaguo, especially in the less developed areas, is really poor, which cannot be disputed.

The houses built in the last three to five years are better. In the past, "reinforced concrete frame structure" was not used to repair houses, but "prefabricated brick-concrete structure" was used to build houses, which were not earthquake-resistant in quality.

It is for this reason that many elementary schools and middle schools, and the fact that elementary schools in rural areas are built at will, makes them appear very vulnerable when the earthquake strikes. Not every elementary school that collapses is caused by cutting corners.

Seeing that the scene became awkward again, Gu Yuanyu had no choice but to come to the siege again, "Mayor Xiao, this situation does exist, but it's not just yours. This time we will propose to the Shuchuan Provincial Government to let the following Counties and cities have done a good job in house inspection and maintenance. We are not afraid that we will do useless work, but the most fearful thing is that we will not pay attention to it. What if a strong earthquake really comes?"

"The reason why we are willing to repair in Daoyin is because we saw that the school houses on your side are repaired very well, so we came here to remind you." Anderson said: "If you have the conditions, get ready! I know all the houses in Huaguo. The houses built 30 years ago did not have any concept of earthquake resistance. In my opinion, all these houses should be demolished and rebuilt!"

The officials of Daoyin City who were present at the scene looked at each other and smiled wryly when they heard the translation of these words.

You put it lightly, but Americans don't understand the market in Huaguo.

You all don't know that many poor and crazy people in China are just waiting to be demolished and relocated to get rich!

It is often difficult to demolish and relocate houses in an area without knowing how hard it takes to get them down.

Besides, as you said, with such a large demolition and relocation project involved, I am afraid that Mayor Xiao would not dare to do it?

Fortunately Xiao Qi didn't hear the words in their hearts, otherwise he would definitely want to slap them!

What is demolition and relocation to get rich?

yes!

There are a very small number of people who are greedy during the demolition and relocation process, and always want to eat the next golden baby in one bite.

But more people are engaged in demolition and relocation, and the government has suffered a lot!

I only get the same compensation as the price of cabbage, but the government and the developers are making a lot of money. Can the common people be convinced?

If your overall conditions are fair enough, and you share the profits with the developers together, and distribute a little more to the common people, which satisfies more than 95% of the common people, then the remaining people who want to get rich by demolition and relocation We should take various measures, instead of putting hats on people as soon as they come up!

Listening to their words, Xiao Xu thought for a moment, and said seriously, "I see, please leave a detailed report later, we will deal with it according to the actual situation after we discuss it."

"Okay!" Smith said lightly, "If my proposal is followed, not only the dilapidated buildings are overhauled for earthquake prevention, but also traffic roads, bridges, etc. must also be overhauled. Human life is greater than the sky, please take it seriously!"

"We will be careful, thank you for your sincere advice!" Xiao Xu smiled slightly, "Come on, it's getting late, we have prepared a light meal, please American guests and everyone from the University of Geosciences to taste our Daoyin place together Food!"

"thanks……"

The gringos cheered and laughed.

They have always liked the delicacies of Huaguo. Because of the sufficient funds this time, they enjoyed a lot of delicious food on the land of Huaguo, and many of them gained weight.

But Xiao Xu looked carefully, and found that there was a faint contempt in the eyes of Americans.

Because of the different national conditions, Americans like heroes who are desperate for others, and other comprehensive affairs are not considered by them.

Xiao Xu's reticence made them feel that he was a typical bureaucrat, and of course it was difficult to have a good impression of him. (To be continued..)
