1043 Incubation Base
Blackstone Security did not need to deal with too many matters. After handling these matters, Lynch went to the city hall in Bupen.
Many people would think that becoming the mayor of Bupen should be a very happy thing.
Because this is the political, cultural and economic center of this country, and it has the best of everything in the Federation. If you can become the mayor of this city, you will definitely be very happy!
Just because the city of Bupen is different, it is destined that being the mayor here will not be very happy.
It is completely conceivable that there are people everywhere here who the mayor cannot afford to offend. He should obviously be the supreme ruler of the city, but here, he can only be regarded as a middle-level person.
Because there are too many higher figures, such as the president, ministers and undersecretaries of various ministries, and then the members of Congress, as well as countless big capitalists!
Any one person could give him a headache, let alone so many people gathered together.
So many times people don't know what the mayor of the city said, or... he has some new ideas, new policies, etc.
His presence in front of people is very low, so low that some locals don't even know who the mayor is, what his name is, and what he looks like.
Before coming to the city hall, Lynch didn't know, but now he knew, because the city's supreme ruler was sitting opposite him.
"I heard from people at the Department of Social Services. They said you wanted to buy a large piece of land?"
The mayor of Bupen looks very young, in his early forties, very energetic, and his clothes make him look very capable, not at all as decadent as imagined.
Lynch nodded, "I plan to build an industrial incubator here..."
He briefly discussed the meaning of this industrial incubator with the mayor, and the mayor was immediately attracted by Lynch's idea and concept.
"This is a good plan, so that some small and medium-sized entrepreneurial groups don't need to worry about these things. You can provide some funds to solve their financial difficulties at the beginning of their business, and you can also provide venues."
“It can be expected that once this industrial incubator develops, a very interesting ecological chain will be formed!”
"Maybe we can give you some policy inclinations."
Lynch nodded, "This is also one of the reasons why I came here, because we only do investment, and according to relevant federal laws, our tax rate is not very high."
The mayor was stunned for a moment and said, "Wait a moment..." He needed someone to provide him with some help.
Then he picked up the phone, and without avoiding Lynch, he directly asked the questions he was concerned about.
After about a minute, he ended the call.
"I asked around just now, and it is indeed the case. This is troublesome." The mayor fell into thinking.
For entrepreneurs, or for any capitalist, tax exemption is always the best "policy", because this is money!
It is equivalent to giving money to these capitalists. Although the tax department may be a little dissatisfied, but never mind!
This trick is better than anything else, and it was naturally the same when it was used before.
Unexpectedly, Lynch's Light of Tomorrow Investment Company was actually a non-entity enterprise.
It does not specifically produce any goods and has no workers, but it will have employees working for it, and it will pay salaries and buy insurance for its employees.
Without actual market transactions, this does not meet all the prerequisites for tax payment. However, according to federal law, the return on investment does not need to be taxed, or requires only a small amount of tax.
Different regions and states have different laws, so there will be some differences, but even if there are differences, the differences between these differences are not very big.
If the tax exemption amount is given to Lynch, Lynch will not have to pay taxes.
People will be sensitive to this matter, and you should never "assume" that those people can understand the decisions of the city hall, and don't underestimate their ability to think wildly.
Once Lynch's investment company, the Light of Tomorrow, is exempted from tax, people will definitely be excited. They will think it is a shady case, but it is not.
The people don't care about this. They will only make trouble, and then attract the investigation team to investigate, and then the investigation team will be sprayed...
It’s really funny to say that the capital tycoons pay no taxes or pay less taxes. On the contrary, it is the less wealthy people who really pay full taxes to develop and build this country.
Their nerves are very sensitive, and it is best not to give them an excuse to cause trouble.
The mayor raised his head and glanced at Lynch, who acted very calmly. In fact, both parties knew what the other wanted, but neither one revealed it first.
After about half a minute, the mayor sighed and said, "Let's see, the real estate tax can be reduced, but not too much."
"We can also provide certain cooperation on some other projects."
Real estate tax is a "local tax", and this part of the funds will stay directly in Bupen's finances.
Federal taxes mainly have a three-tier structure, local taxes, state taxes, and national taxes.
These three taxes are just like their names, who pays the tax and who collects the money. The land for real estate tax comes from the land in various places, so almost all of this part remains in the local area as one of the funds for development and construction.
The mayor felt that he could only give Lynch some "benefits" in this aspect. It was impossible not to give him any benefits. After all, this industrial incubator was really a great project.
"Great decision, I'm happy with it and we can talk about some of the next issues."
The mayor asked the secretary to send a planning map, and the entire Bupen became a flat surface. The land that has been used is colored, and the land that is not used is blue.
There are many colored tiles on the map, and Lynch's target is outside the city.
He would not think about buying a large piece of land on the edge of the Bupen city line and waiting for its value to rise. Because of the previous financial tsunami and the recovery of the federal market, a large amount of money flowed into the industry.
As the industry develops rapidly, real estate development will shrink. The reason is simple. When the industry is in a period of rapid development, capital flows to entities with higher returns, and the amount of capital flowing into the real estate development field will decrease.
Moreover, the middle and lower classes of society have not fully recovered yet, and their purchasing power for real estate is relatively low. As real estate is on the verge of being saturated, no new projects will be launched.
Capital is always chasing profits. What needs to be reflected here is "chasing". It will chase the trend instead of investing in advance at the next trend where there may be opportunities.
That kind of early investment is not investment, it is just a gambling behavior!
There are also people who like to speculate, and the rate of return on successful speculation is amazing, but they cannot guess right every time.
The reward rate for a correct guess is astonishing, and the loss for a wrong guess is astonishing!
So overall, if the urban circle of Bupen wants to expand, there is almost no hope in ten or twenty years.
Lynch feels that a new round of war will almost break out in the next ten years. By then, the flow of capital and population will be even less likely to allow the urban circle to expand, so there is no point in betting on this.
It is better to buy a large piece of land where the land price is cheaper, rather than around the city circle, where the land price is inflated and it is not cost-effective.
After Lynch encircled a large tract of land, the mayor of Boupen laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
To build an industrial incubator, no matter how he does it, at least some buildings must be built, and these are jobs.
This in turn can solve hundreds or more job vacancies. People will become more satisfied with the urban development during his administration, and he will have a greater chance of reaching a higher position.
Like a member of Congress, or a governor.
Federal politicians are often pitiful. They either revolve around capitalists or around public opinion.
"This is a bit far from the city circle. I hope the city hall can plan a new bus line to connect it with the city." Lynch made his second small request.
The mayor hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Yes, I will contact the public transportation company about this."
"Water, electricity..."
The mayor suddenly had a headache. He said as if joking, "You don't think of these as a policy, do you?"
Lynch smiled and asked, "Isn't it?"
The municipal government wants to say that it is definitely not the case. You must know that the federal power company and the water conservancy company are private companies. In other words, it costs money to install water and electricity.
Even if it is a request from the city hall, the city hall has to come up with money to let them do that.
This is also a considerable expense. You have to ensure water supply and power supply in a small urban area, possibly an industrial area. This is too difficult!
The mayor pondered for a while, "I am familiar with people from the power supply company and water conservancy company, and I can give you a discount..."
“But you have to solve the problem of the power grid yourself!”
Grid!
Amazing Federation!
Lin Qi was stunned for a moment before reacting, "I can handle this part myself!"
In the federation, electricity generation and sales may be one company, or it may be two independent and cooperative companies, and then the electricity needs to pass through the power grid to reach the user's home.
The power grid is another company, and charges are charged in both directions.
Sometimes, due to the sequence before and after construction, electricity comes out of federal power plants, passes through power companies, and then passes through two, three or more power grid companies before it can enter users' homes.
Lynch's incubation base is outside the city, and there is no power grid there. Lynch must either build it himself or hire other power grid companies to build it.
In addition to these, there is another problem. If he builds it himself, the power grid company can refuse him direct access to his home's power grid.
In this way, Lynch would have to build some separate wires directly to the door of the power plant or power company so that the incubation park could use electricity.
It’s very troublesome anyway!
