"Boss, are you very strange, why did I directly agree to let the little girl from the Clive family come to our manor?" After sitting in the car, lighting the fire, and driving out, Edward turned towards Jiang Hai said.
In fact, just now, he could see that Jiang Hai was confused, but he didn't say it clearly. It was time to tell Jiang Hai.
"Why?" Seeing that Edward Anderson was willing to speak, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at him. Speaking of which, even though they had only been together for a few months, Jiang Hai still had a lot of respect for these people in his manor. trust.
Especially for Robbins and Edward, the two men he personally appointed to be the ones to manage the other cowboys and fishermen.
Jiang Hai first came to the United States and said that it would be difficult if he didn't have a few confidants around him. And these two old people are considered to be Jiang Hai's confidants at present. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Hai did not ask directly just now. exit.
"Boss, it seems you don't care much about the recent news!" Upon hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward Anderson smiled and started talking to Jiang Hai while driving.
"Don't you know that Boston was hit by a snowstorm this year?" Edward Anderson said with confusion as he looked at Jiang Hai.
"I know this. I heard that businessmen in the city have made a fortune from this." Jiang Hai also saw what Edward said from the news, because Boston is located near the Atlantic Ocean. Because of the relationship, it is rainy in summer and snowy in winter. This winter is also the same. The amount of snow in Boston has exceeded the limit of previous years, causing a lot of impact on traffic and the like. It started snowing in November. Until now, the snowstorm warning in Boston has not been lifted.
But for Jiang Hai, snow disasters are nothing. First, his house is very sturdy. Second, when it snows, they always clean it up, even though the snow on the roadside has accumulated to almost one and a half meters.
But for Jiang Hai's normal life, the snowstorm did not cause him any problems.
"Oh, that's in the Boston area. Winthrop is not so lucky. Several classrooms and gymnasiums in the town's elementary school have been crushed by this year's snow. The mayor and the principal of the town's elementary school have been in trouble in recent days. They have been raising funds for the town primary school in the town, but the effect is not very good. School will start in more than ten days, and they may be the most anxious now..." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward Anderson shrugged. , spoke slowly.
Jiang Hai seemed to have heard about this news a few days ago, but he forgot about it in the blink of an eye. For a guy like him, the previous life was just about sweeping the snow in front of one's own door, and not asking others about the frost on their tiles. After coming to the United States, he did the same.
As long as he is happy, he will be too lazy to care about other people and things as long as they care about him.
When it collapsed, it was probably in mid-December. Fortunately, the school was already on vacation at that time, so only a few rooms collapsed and there were no casualties. But for the people in the town, this was not good news.
In fact, when it comes to fundraising, the people of the United States are more generous and active than the people of other countries. Of course, in addition to the issue of people's hearts, this is also related to the policies of the United States, because donations are tax-deductible.
And the amount of the deduction is very high. Sometimes one dollar can be used to offset the tax of fifteen cents per dollar. It is precisely because of this that many rich people in the United States have a philanthropist hanging on their head. good reputation.
Because this can not only help them become famous and spread a sense of kindness, but also provide them with adequate financial rewards.
Logically speaking, there are a lot of rich people in Boston, but these rich people don't need to take care of the elementary school here in Winthrop, and there are actually not many rich people in Winthrop.
In addition, the current economic situation is not very good. With these ordinary townspeople, one or two dollars per person, they can only get a few thousand dollars in total, and they cannot even build a classroom. Get up, let alone the gym.
From here, we can also see the resentment of the American imperialists. It’s not that Jiang Hai can’t stand and talk without backache. I think back when he was in elementary school, the elementary school was also very dilapidated. There was no heating during winter classes, and the windows were broken and covered with plastic sheets. The winter we lived through lasted until the third grade. After the school was renovated, the heating and new glass were replaced. But even so, every winter, students like them still needed to use cloth strips from home and pulp obtained from home. It's sticky and sticks to the cracks in the windows.
It was only in junior high school that there were plastic windows, so for Jiang Hai, going to school was not a big deal.
But it seems that people on the American side don't think so. No matter how hard it is, children can't be tortured. This is their educational policy.
Otherwise, we won’t build it. If we want to build it, we will build the best one. There is no such thing as making do with the US imperialism.
"Then what do you mean by asking her to come now? Do you want me to donate?" Hearing Edward Anderson's words, Jiang Hai nodded and asked a little strangely. He probably understood what Edward meant, it should be Just want to let yourself donate.
"Whether to donate or how much to donate is actually up to you, the boss, but if you don't even give them a chance to convince you, it will have a certain impact on your reputation in the town. To be honest, , Boss, your reputation in the town is not very good now..." Shrugging, Edward said to Jiang Hai.
Hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled to himself, it seemed like this.
Other wealthy people would benefit the village after arriving in a place, but Jiang Hai did not seem to do this.
Normally, he stayed in his manor and had no interaction with the people in the town. The only time he had interaction was when he sent a dozen bastards from the town to jail and almost destroyed the police station. .
Although this matter cannot be blamed on Jiang Hai and is their responsibility, they still cannot make the residents of the town like Jiang Hai.
No matter where you invest, it is very important to have good relations with the local people.
Even in China, when some bosses go to the countryside to build factories, they still need to establish good relationships with people in the villages.
Otherwise, it would not be a problem to come here every three days to make trouble, not to mention, Jiang Hai is still with the American emperor.
Since Jiang Hai came, it seems that for the people in Winthrop, Jiang Hai has not done a good thing. As for the taxes on the manor, they are money collected by the government and have nothing to do with them. In addition, Jiang Hai There is indeed something wrong with Hai's way of dealing with people.
This also made it difficult for Robbins, Edward and others to be sandwiched between Jiang Hai and the residents.
Fortunately, although Jiang Hai has never done any good deeds, he has not done any bad deeds either. If the full favorability level is one hundred, then Jiang Hai's current relationship with the residents of the town is forty-nine, basically It was still in a neutral state, but there were just some bad reactions. These bad reactions also came from the families of the bastards he sent to prison.
"You mean, I should do something to change my impression among the townspeople?" After thinking for a while, Jiang Hai said to Edward Anderson. After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Edward couldn't ignore it. No shrugged, he was just giving his opinion.
What to do is still up to Jiang Hai. Of course, if Jiang Hai wants to fight to the end, maybe they will still stand by Jiang Hai now.
However, if Jiang Hai and the townspeople are really incompatible, they may choose their family and hometown more. At least Jiang Hai is not sure about his personality charm.
"Okay, let's hear it later." After thinking about it for a moment, in fact, for Jiang Hai, the cost of repairing a few classrooms is nothing. The cost of one classroom, from the American side, is more than 10,000. It's just a few classrooms, plus a basketball court. A hundred thousand dollars can't be used. However, Jiang Hai's current thoughts are still those of the ordinary people.
Not to mention a hundred thousand dollars, even ten dollars, if given to others for no reason, he would not be willing to part with it, and would not feel comfortable.
What's his is his, even if he doesn't want it or he destroys it, it's still his, no one else is allowed to snatch it.
But if the purpose of paying this money is to build a good relationship with the townspeople, to leave a good impression on the government, and most importantly, if it can offset part of the tax, then Jiang Hai seems to be willing to do so. .
Jiang Hai, who had been thinking about this matter in his mind, returned home not long after.
The next day, after walking Jiang Hai's dog and watching his horse, he and Edward drove to the town.
Today is the day to sign the contract with the fishermen, and Jiang Hai himself made some determination last night.
So today he didn't come in the car driven by Edward, but he also drove his F650 into the town.
"Hi, boss!" In front of the law firm in the town, Jiang Hai saw a row of cars parked there. When Jiang Hai and Edward's car drove over, the people in these cars followed. After jumping down, one or two people looked at Jiang Hai. Needless to say, these people were the fishermen Jiang Hai had met yesterday. In addition to them, there were also their families. Jiang Hai said that their families could also live there. In the manor, this is a benefit.
Fishermen spend a lot of time wandering on the sea throughout the year, but compared to cowboys, their income is indeed very high, not even less than the white-collar workers who work in those companies. In this world, although money is not everything, but It is impossible to live without money. With money, they also have a relatively stable family.
Unlike Robbins and the others, except for Philemon, who had worked as a sailor before, he had a wife. The others were either single or divorced. However, these crew members all brought their wives with them. Even if they had children, they I'm too embarrassed to bring it.
