110 Chapter 109. What a Beautiful Thought

On the second day after Liszt came to the town, a new team arrived, a total of five people. The phone said it was the investigation team of the New Zealand Taxation Bureau.

Wang Bo frowned after receiving the notice, and asked, "Is there any investigation team from the tax bureau?"

Charlie explained: "Yes, the tax bureau has the authority to inspect cities and towns across the country. The construction funds allocated by the government to local areas are issued by the tax bureau, so they also have a supervisory responsibility to monitor the use of these funds."

"However, our Sunset Town has only been established for a few months. Why are they here to inspect? See what the boss has done with the money?"

"It's just to pay you salaries, what kind of shit can that money be for?" Old Wang said arrogantly, he was backed by the treasure in the secret room, and his waist was very stiff.

Charlie fell silent, his brows were even more wrinkled than Wang Bo's, and the wrinkles in the center of his forehead could kill flies.

Seeing his expression, Pharaoh felt a little uncomfortable, and asked, "What's going on?"

Charlie said hesitantly: "I guess their purpose may be impure. Juan is right. They have no reason to review the use of funds at this time, because the town has been established for too short a time."

"What purpose do they have?"

Charlie shook his head and said nothing with a gloomy face.

The road conditions in the small town were difficult, and the car of the tax bureau inspection team broke down halfway. Wang Bo had to ask Charlie to pick them up in a Land Cruiser.

The four middle-aged men arrived, wearing suits and leather shoes, carrying uniform briefcases, with indifferent expressions on their faces, and they looked more annoying than those debt collectors from Maori loan shark companies back then.

The leading man in the quartet was Boozer, a tax prosecutor who was responsible for checking the use of town appropriations.

In this regard, Wang Bo sat upright. He only used the government's appropriation to pay salaries for his group, and never used it for other aspects.

After checking the use of funds, Boozer was a little confused. He asked, "Mr. Mayor, on the way here, we saw that your town is building roads and houses. May I ask for the money..."

Wang Bo shrugged and said, "I invested it myself. You may not know that I am richer."

Boozer was silent for a moment, and he and his three companions began to look through the funds usage records.

But Sunset Town has only been established for less than five months, and there are only three staff members. The funds and expenses can be clearly recorded on a piece of paper, and it is useless for them to look through them.

After looking through these records, Boozer pushed the computer aside, changed his expression, looked at Wang Bo sincerely and said, "Mr. Mayor, do you have any opinions on the injection of government funds?"

Lao Wang really wanted to say that of course he had an opinion and he had a big opinion, but he noticed that Charlie was secretly winking at him, signaling him not to speak.

Feeling baffled, Wang Bo didn't understand the meaning of what Charlie did. New Zealand is not a corrupt government like North Korea. Even if he yells at the government here, it's okay, right?

But he still decided to follow Charlie's hints. The latter has been doing his best to help him all the time, and he hasn't lost the chain yet.

So, Wang Bo shook his head and said, "I have no opinion."

Boozer said: "Don't you think the government's allocation to your town is a bit low? I'm afraid it can't afford the construction of the town, right?"

That's right, Wang Bo can't wait to slap the table to respond to Boozer. He's right. The government is too stingy. It only pays more than two million yuan a year, and it's paid out in four quarters. How can this be enough?

But at this time Charlie gave him another wink, or hinted him not to say more.

Therefore, Lao Wang had no choice but to suppress his inner thoughts, and said like a man: "I can handle the construction of the town by myself. Well, the Sir left me some antiques, and I can afford the construction of the town by selling antiques."

Boozer was a little anxious, and said: "There are funds allocated by the state, why do you have to pay for it yourself? You can ask the state to increase the allocation, can't you?"

Now Wang Bo saw that something was wrong. The New Zealand Parliament is so good? He even took the initiative to ask for an increase in financial allocations to the local government? Why hasn't he heard of such a good thing?

You know, since taking up the post of mayor, Lao Wang has been very diligent and has been working hard to study the development of other towns.

However, in these studies, he found that the New Zealand Parliament is very stingy, and it is very difficult to allocate funds to local governments. Local governments can only strive to develop primary, secondary and tertiary industries by taxation.

If things are abnormal, there must be a demon. Wang Bo became vigilant and asked, "What do you mean?"

Boozer smiled slightly and was about to speak when Charlie stood up and said with a sneer, "The meaning is very simple. The parliament is a bit ambitious. They want to directly take back the never-setting sun as national property."

After hearing this, the expressions of the four members of the Taxation Bureau changed immediately, and Wang Bo's expression became even uglier, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Boozer said sullenly to Charlie, "Sir, please get out of here."

Charlie smiled contemptuously and said, "You have the right to order me? Stupid! Greedy! Damn it!"

After speaking, he pulled Wang Bo aside and explained to him.

Now, except for Highway 8, all the land in Sunset Town belongs to him. If the investment in the town is also carried out in his own name, then in fact, for him, Sunset Town is not much different from Sunset Town.

Once he invests in the town's streets, houses, water and electricity systems, etc., he will have the final say on the town.

But if the basic construction of the town is invested and constructed by the government, then Lao Wang's control over the town will be greatly reduced. It is true that the ownership of the land still belongs to him, but the right to use it belongs to the government.

What's the difference?

If he financed the construction of everything, then the site is his, the houses are his, and the water and electricity are also his. If the residents of the small town change the mayor in the future, then he has the right to take back these use rights, and everyone has only one end. Get out!

As for Sunset Town? The end result is to become a ghost town, empty of people.

If the town was built with government funds, then if the residents want to change the mayor in the future, Pharaoh will have no choice. He can at most become a big farmer or rancher on this land, but Can no longer be mayor here.

After the introduction was clear, Charlie's expression turned ugly, and he said, "Damn it, I didn't expect the politicians in the parliament to be so greedy. They're still not satisfied after turning a piece of territory into a country town. What a bunch of sons of bitches!"

Wang Bo's face became even uglier. He held back his anger and said, "Charlie, why didn't you tell me this when you got the government funding?"

Charlie opened his mouth to explain, and finally said with a wry smile: "If I say, I overestimated the personality of these damned politicians, would you believe it?"
