Looking at the more than 50 million left in his bank, let's call it 50 million and round it up.
According to what he said at the beginning, he would buy 20,000 cows, and the price of a mature cow would be about one thousand US dollars. This is what Jiang Hai heard from Robbins. This does not refer to dairy cows, but beef cattle. The largest number of Angus cattle in the United States.
One thousand US dollars per head, 20,000 cows is 20 million US dollars, plus the supporting equipment, trucks, feed, trolleys, machines, all added together, it will cost almost 10 million US dollars a year, and raising cattle is 30 million US dollars. Tens of millions of dollars. Compared with this amount of money, the salary given to Robbins and the others is a small fraction. After all, the full salary is less than 200,000, which is just a small change.
However, raising cattle cost him two-thirds of his own money, which made Jiang Hai a little panicked. At the same time, the most important thing was that he might have to pay taxes, and he would have to spend about 10 million to prepare for taxes. He had heard from the American emperor that the people he should not mess with the most were those from the tax bureau.
If you pay even less than a penny, they dare to arrest you directly and then auction off your property.
It seems fair. After the property is auctioned, the money originally owed to them will be deducted and the rest will be returned to you.
But the question is, is the price at their auction the same as the original price of your farm
Don't tell Jiang Hai that the American emperors are all fair. He doesn't believe that anyone who plays politics is as black as the crows in the world.
Therefore, Jiang Hai does not dare to owe money to the tax bureau, so the working capital he can use now is only 10 million US dollars.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk!" Jiang Hai felt his heart aching as he roughly calculated the money he could spend now.
It was originally 330 million, but now only 10 million is left. This money is really not worth spending.
In fact, the main problem is Jiang Hai. Which one was not good to choose at the beginning? Choose this? This time it really became a hot potato.
But if there is any way, just go ahead and do it, but your original idea needs to be changed now.
Cattle can be raised, after all, everyone has been recruited, but the issues of wine estates and fisheries may have to be put on hold for a while.
Especially fishing, raising fish is also very expensive. A boat of fry can be bought for less than a million dollars. And if you want to raise fish such as cod and herring, you need to add more food to them. Small octopuses, Squid and the like also cost money.
If you want to catch fish, you need to buy a fish boat. In total, the cost of raising fish is much higher than raising cattle.
In this regard, Jiang Hai is quite helpless. It seems that he can only wait until some funds are collected before talking about it.
"Fish, let's raise it next year!" Feeling distressed, Jiang Hai turned off the computer and lay down on the bed directly to sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, Jiang Hai could tell that he was in high spirits. After all, he had planned to live a wealthy life for a long time, but at this time he had to temporarily suspend it. Hundreds of millions of dollars seemed to be a lot, but at this time I also had to let it go.
Unless Jiang Hai still has a way to get money, but after thinking for a long time, it seems that he has no way to get money.
He had already plundered everything in that cave, and he was very sure that what was left was all glass and could be crushed.
As for his current abilities, the extreme physical fitness of human beings and the ability to breathe underwater, there is a good way to find it, that is to find sunken ships, ordinary commercial sunken ships. If you look for them at will, the things on the ship will also be found. It's worth tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars.
But the problem now is that he doesn't dare to move. After all, he is only a human being. How can he fart in the sea with his extreme physical fitness
He didn't think that sharks, whales, and king squids would spoil him.
Especially, if the blood leaks out, then he is in the sea, which is the best Tang Monk meat, and it will probably be chewed up to the ground. This is why he dare not go into the water easily. There is no other way. In fact, Jiang The sea is not bold.
As long as his life is not endangered, he can be brave and fight fiercely, but he dare not go to the sea to find the sunken ship.
Since it cannot be open sourced, he can only find a way to cut off the flow, and there is nothing good to say about this.
However, it can be regarded as a perfect path. Even if he does not raise fish now, he can actually fish.
After all, he went to the foot of the mountain yesterday to take a look. As far as the current situation is concerned, the underwater resources in his area are still very rich.
Even if he doesn't farm them, the fish here can be sold for millions. If he adds the nourishment of his own blood, he can probably sell them for a higher price. At least if he buys a fish boat and fishes here first, the problem will be It's not big.
After thinking about it, Jiang Hai felt a little panicked, but he was still prepared to temporarily suspend his drastic improvement plan.
Let’s take it slow first. No matter what, if you bought this place yourself, you have to bite the bullet and keep it running.
As if he saw that Jiang Hai was not energetic, Robbins did not say much to Jiang Hai. He just drove to Winthrop's law office, where the four cowboys who had been found last night , I have been waiting there for a long time.
Jiang Haiqiang worked hard and signed a cowboy employment contract with these four people. The contracts were signed once a year. This was good for Jiang Hai and good for them. After signing the contract, these four people were obviously Breathed a sigh of relief.
Nowadays, the breeding industry in the United States is constantly moving to the west, such as Texas, Montana, etc., which are the best grazing lands.
On the contrary, on the East Coast, because the area is too small, most of the farms have closed down and turned into residential areas.
Even if you have a family farm, it is a family farm and there is no need to hire people. Although the people of the American Empire are not like the Chinese who pay attention to returning to their roots after falling leaves, they still have a lot of feelings about their hometown. They are not willing to work for something unless necessary. For a job, they had to travel so far away to a strange city. For this, Jiang Hai could hire them here, and at least they would be very happy.
"Boss, when do we get to work?" After coming out of the lawyer's office, Philemon Turner, who was a little restless, started talking excitedly. For others, money may not be that urgent, but for For him, it was very urgent.
After all, his family is still waiting for him to get money to go back and eat.
"The sooner the better. You can move to my place tonight. I have a single-family villa there, which is enough for you to live in. Everything is fully furnished. You only need to bring some personal belongings. If you have family members, If so, let's go together, this way we can save on rent." Looking at the people in front of him, Jiang Hai smiled and said to them.
"It's really great, boss." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon Turner exclaimed with excitement.
In the United States, most people do not have the habit of saving money. This is just like people in Europe. They spend whatever they earn.
Under such economic conditions, if you want to buy a house, you will definitely need a loan. However, banks will not lend much to such people. The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has just passed a few years ago. If it is not an excellent industry, And reputation, not to mention individuals, even companies cannot get a penny from banks, so it is undoubtedly a nightmare for ordinary employees to buy a house in the United States.
Fortunately, renting a house in the United States is very cheap, because if a person with a spare house does not rent out the house, he will have to pay taxes every year. Calculated based on the average annual rate of 2% in the United States, A house costs at least half a million dollars.
Five hundred thousand dollars, that means you have to pay at least ten thousand dollars in taxes that year, plus property management fees, broadband money, cable TV lines, security money, etc. In the United States, the police are not obligated. Rather, they are hired. Why are there so many police officers in wealthy areas
One is because rich people live here and have money, so there are more police officers. The other reason is that they pay a lot of money here, such as house taxes, and the government hires police officers to patrol the designated patrol routes. In addition, patrolling here is considered overtime pay and you can earn more. Naturally, the police are also very willing.
People like Philemon can tell at a glance that they are not people who know how to save money, and this is also the case.
Among these people, except for Burke-Dahle, who owns a house of his own, the others live in rented houses.
Now hearing Jiang Hai say that there is a ready-made house, these people's faces were filled with different smiles.
"Then go get ready. Robbins and I are going to buy some things. We will hold a small welcome party in the evening." Looking at the excitement of the people in front of him, Jiang Hai said with a smile. After Hai's words, these people all screamed strangely, and then quickly drove away in their cars. In the United States, even if you buy a car, you still have to pay taxes, and you have to pay it every year.
But the car fare is indeed too cheap, and taking the driver's license test is one of the required courses for high school graduates, and points are calculated.
Because they have a driver's license and cars are cheap, many people are still willing to buy a car and drive it.
Jiang Hai watched these people driving away. He was also thinking about whether to buy a car. He also had a driver's license, but unfortunately, it was not an international driver's license, so for now he could only look at these people's cars with envy. , nothing more.
"Waiting for me to upgrade... Hey, there is no money for upgrading." It is not difficult for Jiang Hai to upgrade his driver's license to an international driver's license. He has already made use of the authority of the Centurion Bank Card to make an appointment for the upgrade test, but that is not a problem. I have to take the exam next month.
Curling his lips helplessly, Jiang Hai was going to go to the supermarket in town with Robbins to buy some food. Now the refrigerator at his home was empty. He happened to have a car and some free helpers. He was going to buy more.
"Hey, boss, didn't you say you wanted to find some crew members yesterday? Do you still need them now?" Just as Jiang Hai got into Robbins's old pickup truck and was about to leave, Philemon's old truck The old pickup truck parked next to the car and asked Jiang Hai. Hearing his words, Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment. Originally, in his plan, fishery was naturally to be developed.
But because he doesn't have much money now, he plans not to develop so much yet. He only plans to buy a fishing boat to catch some fish and sell it in his own territory. In this case, he doesn't need too much money. people, but at least a few people are needed to help.
