Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 627 This is what I should do

Wang Weidong discussed with Li Yueshi all night without any result. He decided to have a direct showdown with Mr. Robert Jr. the next day.

"Mr. Robert, what good will it be if I invest here? Will the rumors that are not good for us Xiangyang Electronics end?" Wang Weidong asked.

Hearing that Wang Weidong might invest in Salt Lake City, Robert Jr. was very happy.

He said affirmatively to Wang Weidong: "Of course, if Xiangyang Electronics can invest in Salt Lake City, it is to tell them with facts that you are a friend of our Americans, and those troubles will be over. But I have one condition, you Xiangyang Electronics must Invest in Park City!"

"Where is Park City?" Wang Weidong asked.

It was the first time he had heard the name.

Robert Jr. drove Wang Weidong and Li Yueshi to a place less than 50 kilometers away from Salt Lake City.

A small town of less than 1 people appeared there.

In China, a place with less than 1 people is not even a town.

"Wang, it's here! It's very quiet here this season, but it will be much more lively when the ski resort opens in winter." Little Robert said, pointing to the distant mountains.

"How big 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. You can build a factory here with [-] or [-] workers. There is no problem at all!" 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 how much the land here is worth?" Wang Weidong said.

"This is Utah, not damn California! If I come forward to help you negotiate, the rent of eight thousand dollars per acre will be fine!" Little Robert replied.

One acre is equivalent to six acres in China, or 4000 square meters.It is enough to build a factory of 4 square meters, which means that the annual rent is 8 US dollars.

"I heard that your taxes here are very high." Wang Weidong said.

Little Robert smiled. He put his arms around Wang Weidong's shoulders and said, "Wang, we are a paradise for the rich! Our wealth is all obtained by our own ingenuity and hard work. Why do we have to pay so much tax? The reason why my father hates the donkey party! Haven’t you heard such a story? A rich man pays less taxes to the country than his female secretary. Of course, to do this, you need a good helper to manage your finances lawyer!"

Wang Weidonghe hesitated for a while and finally expressed his doubts.

"Mr. Robert, what do you want me to invest here? I guess it will not be for money. If it is for money, you should work harder and sell inverters for Xiangyang Electronics in the United States. What do I think?" Don't you see how I can benefit you by investing in a factory here?"

"Of course there are benefits!" Little Robert said.

"It was here the last time my dad ran for office, in this little place like Park City, and he was far behind that damn guy from the Donkey Party! If you build a factory here, give two or three hundred workers Provide job opportunities, I am confident that in the next election, the ballot boards here will be returned!" 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 military enterprise in China, because it was said when my father's competitors 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 shadow of the country among the shareholders of Xiangyang Electronics Company when you register. My father will use this matter to slap his opponent hard! Of course , My father and I will be very grateful to you!" said Robert Jr.

"Nothing, this is what I should do." Wang Weidong replied.

"This is what I should do? I found that what you said is very good, very much like an American politician!" Robert Jr. said appreciatively.

"I have said this sentence countless times since I was a child, and I am used to it. Every one of us Chinese often says this." Wang Weidong replied.

"You Chinese are the most dedicated people in the world. It's amazing!" said Robert Jr. sincerely.

Back in the hotel, Li Yueshi asked, "Boss, have you really decided to build a factory here?"

"I have decided that it is not too expensive to spend 8 dollars a year to rent a piece of land. Even if the factory loses money, I think it is worthwhile. This matter will be very beneficial for us to sell inverters in the United States in the future." Wang Weidong said.

"However, according to Robert's meaning, this incident was not done on purpose by him, but someone actually reported to the US government that Xiangyang Electronics is a Chinese military enterprise. This is why Mr. Robert Jr.'s father's political opponents took this matter to attack him." Li Yueshi said.

"Yeah, this is the thing that gives me a headache. It's really annoying not to run my own business well, and to do crooked ways every day!" Wang Weidong said.

In the next few days, Wang Weidong wandered around Salt Lake City, while Li Yueshi was responsible for collecting various business materials to understand the economic cost of investing in business and running a business here.

Wang Weidong is quite satisfied with the results of several days of investigation. Apart from labor costs which are much higher than in China, there are other aspects of energy and water use which are not higher than in China.

Li Yueshi's suggestion to Wang Weidong was to set up a charitable fund to reduce the tax burden.This is a common tax avoidance method for the rich in the United States.

And Robert Jr. also brought good news to Wang Weidong.

The Utah state government has made a decision that if Xiangyang Electronics makes an investment in Utah, each worker recruited will be subsidized by the state government with 3000 US dollars per year.

"Very good, Mr. Robert. As the business representative of Xiangyang Electronics in the United States, you are very competent!" Wang Weidong said.

"Then when do you decide to invest here?" Robert Jr. asked with concern.

There is only one year left before his father's next election, and Robert Jr. hopes that Wang Weidong can complete the investment as soon as possible.

"Half a year, Xiangyang Electronics will start to invest and build a factory here within half a year." Wang Weidong said.

After dealing with this matter, according to Li Yueshi's intention, she hopes to travel around the United States with Wang Weidong for a month.

To see the Great Lakes and New York.But this suggestion was immediately rejected by Wang Weidong.

"Miss Li, we can't stay here anymore. Song Yu just called me. He is going to get married soon, and I must go back immediately!" Wang Weidong said.
