Chapter 627 This is what I should do
Wang Weidong discussed with Li Yueshi all night but could not come up with any results. He decided to have a direct showdown with Mr. Robert Jr. the next day.
"Mr. Robert, what will be the benefits if I invest here? Will those rumors that are not good for us at Xiangyang Electronics end?" Wang Weidong asked.
Robert Jr. was very happy to hear that Wang Weidong might invest in Salt Lake City.
He affirmatively said to Wang Weidong: "Of course, if Xiangyang Electronics can invest in Salt Lake City, just tell them with facts that you are a friend of our Americans, and those troubles will be over. But I have a condition, you Xiangyang Electronics must
Invest in Park City!”
"Where is Park City?" Wang Weidong asked.
It was the first time he heard this name.
Robert Jr. drove Wang Weidong and Li Yueshi to a place less than 50 kilometers away from Salt Lake City.
A small town with less than 10,000 people appeared there.
In China, a place with less than 10,000 people is not even a town.
"Wang, this is it! It's very quiet here in this season, but when the ski resort opens in winter, it will be much livelier." Robert said, pointing to the mountains in the distance.
"How big of a factory can I build in such a small place?" Wang Weidong said in embarrassment.
"There are already a lot of people here. Due to the strong seasonality of work, many people's jobs have become a problem. There is no problem if you build a factory with 200 or 300 workers here!" Robert Jr. replied.
.
Wang Weidong was stunned. He didn't expect Robert Jr.'s request to be so humble.
"Is it enough to build a factory with 200 people here? I can achieve this goal! I just don't know what the price of land here is?" Wang Weidong said.
"This is Utah, not damn California! If I come forward to help you negotiate, the rent for an acre of eight thousand dollars will be fine!" Robert Jr. replied.
One acre is equivalent to six acres in China, which is 4,000 square meters. 40,000 square meters is enough to build a factory, which means the annual rent is US$80,000.
"I heard that the taxes here are very high." Wang Weidong said.
Little Robert smiled, put his arm around Wang Weidong's shoulders and said: "Wang, we are a paradise for the rich here! Our wealth is all obtained by our own intelligence and hard work, why do we have to pay so much tax? This is what I and I
The reason why my father hates the Donkey Party! Haven’t you heard this story? A rich man pays less tax to the country than his female secretary every year. Of course, to do this you need a good person to help you manage your finances.
lawyer!"
Wang Weidong hesitated for a while and finally expressed his doubts.
"Mr. Robert, what is the purpose of my investment here? I guess it won't be because of money. If you work harder for money, it will be enough to sell inverters for Xiangyang Electronics in the United States. What do I think?
You don’t even see what benefit it would do to you if I invested in a factory here?”
"Of course there are benefits!" said little Robert.
"The last time my father ran for office was here, in a small place like Park City, and he was far behind that damn guy from the Donkey Party! If you build a factory here and give it to two to three hundred workers
Provide job opportunities, and I am confident that I will definitely bring back the voting board here in the next election!" Robert Jr. said confidently.
Wang Weidong finally understood why Robert Jr. insisted on letting him invest in Park City.
"But Wang, don't think that I made up the fact that Xiangyang Electronics is a Chinese military industrial company, because this thing was said by my father's competitors when they attacked him. That damn guy said that my father's son
Now I work for a Chinese military enterprise. If you invest and build a factory here, you will find that there is no trace of the state among the shareholders of Xiangyang Electronics when you register. My father will use this matter to slap his opponent's mouth hard! Of course.
, my father and I will be very grateful to you!" Robert Jr. said.
"Nothing, this is what I should do." Wang Weidong replied.
"Is this what I should do? I find that what you said is very good, very much like an American politician!" Robert Jr. said with appreciation.
"I have said this sentence countless times since I was a child, and I have become accustomed to it. Every one of us Chinese often says this." Wang Weidong replied.
"You Chinese people are the most dedicated people in the world. It's amazing!" Robert Jr. said sincerely.
Back in the hotel, Li Yueshi asked: "Boss, have you really decided to build a factory here?"
"I have decided that spending US$80,000 a year to rent a piece of land is not too high. Even if the factory will suffer a loss, I think it is still cost-effective. This matter will be very beneficial to us in promoting inverters in the United States in the future."
Wang Weidong said.
"But from what Robert said, this was not something he did intentionally, but someone actually reported to the U.S. government that Xiangyang Electronics is a Chinese military industry company. That's why Mr. Robert Jr.'s father's political opponents took advantage of this.
Come and attack him." Li Yueshi said.
"Yeah, this is what gives me a headache. It's really annoying if you don't run your own business properly and do evil things every day!" Wang Weidong said.
In the following days, Wang Weidong wandered around Salt Lake City, while Li Yueshi was responsible for collecting various business information and understanding the economic costs of investing and running businesses here.
The results of several days of investigation made Wang Weidong feel quite satisfied. In addition to labor costs being much higher than in China, energy and water use were not higher in other aspects than in China.
Li Yueshi's suggestion to Wang Weidong was to establish a charitable fund to reduce the tax burden. This is a tax avoidance method commonly used by wealthy Americans.
And Robert Jr. also brought good news to Wang Weidong.
The Utah government has decided that if Xiangyang Electronics makes investments in Utah, the state government will subsidize US$3,000 per year for each worker it recruits.
"Very good, Mr. Robert. As the business representative of Xiangyang Electronics in the United States, you are very competent!" Wang Weidong said.
"Then when will you decide to invest here?" Robert asked with concern.
With only one year left before his father's next election, Robert Jr. hopes Wang Weidong can complete his investment as soon as possible.
"In half a year, Xiangyang Electronics will start investing and building factories here within half a year," Wang Weidong said.
After handling this matter, according to Li Yueshi's wishes, she hoped to travel around the United States with Wang Weidong for a month.
Go see the Great Lakes and go around New York. But this suggestion was immediately rejected by Wang Weidong.
"Miss Li, we can't stay here any longer. Song Yu just called me. He's getting married soon. I must rush back immediately!" Wang Weidong said.
Chapter completed!
