Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 651 Plans and Changes

As the only superpower in the world, the total GDP of the United States ranks first in the world. In this case, although the income of Americans is not low, it is definitely not as high as some people imagine.

According to statistics a few years ago, the per capita annual income of the United States was 3.9 U.S. dollars, and the median per capita annual income was 2.73 U.S. dollars. That is to say, if you earn 2.73 U.S. dollars a year, your income is already higher than half of the Americans. up.

And the amount of bonus Liang En gave out during the salvage work is definitely not small, ranging from US$15000 to US$10 depending on the contributions made by everyone.

Among them, divers get the most money. Although this is only diving in shallow seas and is relatively safe overall, they are indeed the hardest ones who work underwater for several hours a day, so they can naturally get the most bonuses according to the contract.

Of course, divers earn more than the average American earns as a pure technician, but earning $10,000+ a month in bonuses plus wages and allowances is a lot of money.

The two chefs who earn the least on the ship are also an indispensable part of the entire team, and they also do a series of handling work outside of work, so they can also get more than 2 US dollars this month.

This is definitely good news for the two chefs on the two boats, one is a Mexican with four young children, and the other is a black single mother with three children, who really need money.

To be honest, their cooking skills can only be regarded as the top 10% of the applicants at that time, not the top, and they are not the best choice in terms of skills.

And Liang En and the others were willing to choose these two people purely because they were still willing to take on their responsibilities to the family under such circumstances, so they felt that they were more reliable.

The most important thing for this kind of first-line treasure hunting company is reliability rather than technology. At least for most people, technology can be learned slowly, but character cannot be cultivated slowly.

Amid laughter and laughter, the ship sailed into the port quietly, and when he disembarked with the pile of things, Liang En was surprised to find that Elizabeth Bathory was standing on the pier waiting for him.

"What happened." After getting off the boat and walking to the pier, Liang En looked at Elizabeth Bathory and asked nervously, because under normal circumstances, the other party should not come to the pier to look for him. "Has the situation changed here?"

"There is indeed a little change." Elizabeth nodded. "However, this has nothing to do with the agreement signed before. It is mainly because the local officials came to our door and hoped that our plan should be changed."

"Change? Which aspect are you referring to?" Liang En frowned, because unplanned situations are often not good news, and sometimes even completely affect the original plan.

"The other party sent someone to come here, hoping that we can keep the museum here." Elizabeth said seriously, "And I think this matter should be discussed with you."

"I remember that we had decided to put the museum in New York before. Do you have any new ideas now?" After hearing Elizabeth's words, Liang En stopped and stared seriously at the other party's eyes.

"I think we've discussed it before. Putting the museum in New York in the future will attract more tourists, and at the same time, it will be easier to improve its reputation, and this side is obviously not as good as that side."

Unlike some niche art museums, the exhibits exhibited in museums about shipwrecks in the future must meet the tastes of the public, so it will naturally work best if it is in a place with a lot of traffic.

"Yes, but after a series of investigations recently, I found that our previous ideas were not perfect, and there were some flaws as a whole." Elizabeth nodded.

"On the one hand, I found that our museum can be regarded as an archaeological museum, and as an archaeological museum, the closer to the archaeological site, the better. If it is far away from the archaeological site, there may be some problems."

"What you said makes sense, but this is an exhibition of cultural relics salvaged from the ocean, so the geographical direction of the exhibits in the museum is not obvious, and there is no need to be close to the place where the water came out." Liang En shook his head.

"Of course you said that this is indeed a reason, but if it is only this reason, I still insist on putting the future museum in New York, because this advantage is not comparable to New York's advantages at all."

"You're right, so what I value now is the second advantage here." Elizabeth nodded and continued. "Florida is willing to provide us with better policies, which must be better than New York."

Liang En believed what Elizabeth said, because there are too many museums in the New York area, many of which are world-class top museums, so even if Liang En really owns a museum in New York, there will be no special treatment.

"The policy that can make you change your mind must not be too common." Liang En also became serious after hearing Elizabeth's words, "What conditions did they offer?"

"Long-term tax relief." Elizabeth took out a document and handed it to Liang En. "At the same time, it can also provide us with the land for museum venues and the attached commercial land at a low price."

"It seems that the other party really spent their money this time." Liang En said after taking a look at the documents in Elizabeth's hand, because the Florida side sold the venues almost at cost price, and at the same time, the tax discount was also very large.

To give the simplest example, the museums opened by Liang En tend to adopt low entrance fees, and the profits mainly come from various surrounding commercial activities, such as the Mucha Museum of Art in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

However, probably because the Mucha-style souvenirs designed by Liang En are indeed popular, the profitability of that museum is very good, not even lower than that of a well-run food processing factory of the same size.

The same is true for the future museum for ocean salvage. In fact, before Liang En started salvage, he had already discussed with Elizabeth about the museum's income.

According to the results of their analysis.Just those imitations of jewelry can make a lot of money, not to mention the common peripherals like postcards and key chains, even if the ticket price is kept to a minimum, it will not affect his income.

However, the very low ticket price in terms of taxation is a good thing, because it means that the museum has a certain public welfare nature and meets the standard of tax relief.

"This is indeed more attractive." Liang En also had to admit that the conditions put forward by Florida were attractive enough. "I'll think about what you said."

"Okay, but we don't need to be too anxious about this. At least we still have two months to think and make a final analysis." Elizabeth nodded and said seriously.

After all, it will take some time to sort out and register some salvaged items, and this time is enough for Liang En to understand the current situation and make a final judgment.
