Chapter 36 Someone Draws a Piece of Pie
When the meeting was over, Liu Heming lacked interest and planned to go home and go to bed early, but was dragged to the small supermarket by George and Anderson.

Anderson, who has always been stingy, even took out a beer from the refrigerator, and proudly said that he wanted to treat someone to help Liu Heming celebrate.

"Anderson, are you sure you're not making fun of me?" Liu Heming asked sullenly.

"Haha, George, it seems that your kind help has burdened our magical boy. You should explain to him the weight of the property rights you gave him." Anderson said with a very happy smile.

"Dexter, don't you think the compensation I gave you is meaningless?" George asked with a smile after taking a sip of beer.

"George, Anderson, I won't hide it from you, but I really don't think it makes sense." Liu Heming nodded honestly.

"How much profit do you think the current Xiangshui Town can make? Even if it is better, it won't be much better, right? Instead of doing this, it's better to just permanently exempt my property tax."

He didn't know until he came here that the private land in the United States does not really belong to you.Whether it is real estate or land, you have to call property tax every year.

It's just that compared to those bustling parts of the metropolis, Xiangshui Town is a bit dilapidated, and the property tax is also very low.Even if he pays taxes normally, his large ranch will only cost more than 70 US dollars a year.

But if you go to a big city, the tax will be very high, especially for those luxury houses, the real estate tax may cost tens of millions of dollars a year.

Anyway, Liu Heming felt that this private property was not as beautiful as the outside world described it, and it was a bit cheating.

George and Anderson touched the wine bottle, and the crisp voice brought Liu Heming back from his wild thoughts.

"Dexter, in fact, at the beginning, I planned to give you cash compensation." George looked at Liu Heming and said.

"Now the town still has tax funds accumulated over the years, more than [-] US dollars. I can't remember the exact figure. But I think you will suffer too much if you are given cash compensation."

That is to say, Liu Heming had already given up on making up for it, otherwise he would definitely regret it now.What I lack the most is funds, and now I owe Sasha a debt of 20 US dollars.But fortunately, it was about the same as the breakup fee she wanted to give herself.

"The property rights I propose to give you this time are the property rights of the entire Xiangshui Town, which is 30% of all the assets of the entire Xiangshui Town. The area of ​​Xiangshui Town is 11.3 acres, which is now the collective land of Xiangshui Town It's 6.9 acres."

"If the land in the hands of those who have moved out of Xiangshui Town is taken back this time, our collective land in Xiangshui Town will have about 11 acres."

"Even if some people still choose to keep the real estate here, I hope that if the climate and groundwater resources are maintained, they will not want to contribute taxes to Xiangshui Town in vain."

"That is to say, you now own at least [-] acres of land in our Xiangshui Town, and you are more likely to get [-] acres of land in the future at most."

"Pfft... damn it." Liu Heming, who had just been drinking beer, spit out George's explanation and swears.

"Don't worry about what I just said, I was too surprised." Seeing the gazes of the two, Liu Heming hurriedly explained.

He really didn't expect that there would be such an explanation. Isn't he too developed now?With [-] acres of land, do you count yourself as a big landlord?
"George, but why do you agree to such an arrangement? And will someone come to investigate and think that you are committing a duty-related crime? Then sue both of us?" Liu Heming just felt a little joy in his heart asked again.

"Dexter, there won't be any trouble." George said with a lonely expression.

"If it was Xiangshui Town in the past, not to mention giving you 30% of the property rights, even if you were given 0.3%, not even one townsman would agree. Now you only need to bear 30% of the town's expenses every year Just fine."

"The former Xiangshui Town was a big and prosperous town, but what about the current Xiangshui Town? It's a dilapidated town. The resident population is only so small. Although the land has some value, the land is degraded to varying degrees every year. Depreciation. If this natural situation continues, I am afraid that no one will buy it at a price of one hundred dollars an acre."

"I will make such a suggestion. The reason why everyone agrees is because we also have our own selfishness. We don't know how long this situation will last, three years, five years, ten years, or longer, even if it is normal There was not much rain on our side this year, and the yield was not up to the standard level."

"But now that you're here, with that lake in your ranch, we see the hope of life. With the water in your lake, we can live on, and Xiangshui Town won't really go bankrupt."

"The proportion of property rights given to you now seems to be high, but it is worth it. The situation here may improve in the future, but I don't know how long it will be. Whether everyone can persist until then is still a question."

Liu Heming clicked his lips, he didn't know if he should be happy now.George's words are very clear, it is equivalent to using his own lake as a stake in Xiangshui Town, at least to meet the normal planting needs of Xiangshui Town.

He reckoned that the lake was created systematically and should last for a long time.But others don't know, and even I can't be sure that the water in this lake will be continuously supplied.

Perhaps from a long-term perspective, I seem to have taken advantage of it.But for the current townspeople, they have bought an insurance for their lives, and as long as the lake is not dry, they can benefit.

"There is another point that George didn't make clear." Anderson added on the sidelines, "You own the property rights of these lands, but you don't have the right to use them. If you want to use the land you own the property rights, you still need to pay rent. Unless you directly Exchange your property rights for land."

Liu Heming nodded, he understood this.But now even if Bai gave him [-] acres, he would not dare to take it.The land tax of this order of magnitude is not a small number, plus a lot of planting funds are needed, you don't have that much money if you sell him.

"Dexter, please understand me, I have no other choice." George said with some embarrassment.

He is naturally more aware of the issues that Liu Heming can consider.This time I just drew a piece of cake for Liu Heming, whether I can eat it or not is another matter.
