Wouldn't, Wouldn't They Really?!

There are some special jobs in every city that are not very profitable, and City Hall is not willing to do it himself, such as city cleaners, regional service companies or public welfare undertakings.

In the past, these tasks were managed by the Social Services Bureau. Later, due to various reasons, it was finally decided to contract them out to some specialized companies and enterprises.

Just like Sabine City's public transportation, this is also one of the public service businesses transferred from the Social Services Bureau.

Because these businesses, such as city cleaning, garbage disposal stations, and various Welfare Home nursing homes and other companies are difficult to make a profit. They cannot make a lot of money by relying on cleaners to sweep the floors, so City Hall will provide appropriate financial subsidies and some policy preferences.

For example, certain tax exemptions can be provided to encourage Grand Duke companies to take the initiative to assume more social responsibilities.

So are only unprofitable public service companies eligible for subsidies? In fact, this is not necessarily the case. Everyone knows how profitable urban transportation companies are. How to determine whether a company meets the criteria for receiving subsidies depends entirely on the political value and significance of its existence.

If necessary, the leaders of Sabine City should give some information first, such as what to do, hold a few hearings to listen to the opinions of industry experts, and some opinions from society. As long as everyone thinks there is no problem, then the subsidy can be reduced.

There is a line that cannot be touched here, that is, the people cannot be made to feel that this is unnecessary. In the words of the media, Federal Government is an efficient and clean government that never wastes taxpayers' money.

Citizens may not know how to do other things, but they still know how to show their status as taxpayers and make a fuss about it.

But Lin Qi's second-hand goods trading and auction... it doesn't look like a public welfare undertaking. At most, it is somewhat related to the nature of social services.

This made the expression on Ferral's face a little complicated. On the one hand, he felt that Lin Qi was a bit difficult to deal with, and at the same time, he felt that he had been calling others stupid all day long, and eventually he himself became a fool.

Once Lin Qi can receive the subsidy, the salary he pays to himself may not even be one percent of the subsidy. Although the money has nothing to do with him, Ferral still feels like he has suffered a loss.

He said nothing and pretended not to know, but Lin Qi began to increase his chips.

"Mr. Consultant, you may not know it well. Before the end of this year, I will open Interstellar Trade Company throughout the state, with the headquarters at Sabine City."

"At that time, I will also build a brand new Warehouse District, a specialized Transportation Company, to activate the second-hand commodity economy in the state."

"At that time, Interstellar Trade Company's second-hand commodity trading activities will cover the entire state and even outside the state. The huge influence will surely provide the mayor with a prominent political achievement."

"People only need to spend less money to satisfy their pursuit of high-quality life, and at the same time, it can also greatly reduce some social problems that have arisen one after another."

"People always commit crimes because of poverty. Now there is a way to get money without breaking the law. As long as Federal Government and State Government can find a way to revive the economy in a short period of time, we may be able to get out of the predicament more easily than Other States, and it will be easier for us to become the focus of the country."

"And, I personally promise that before next year, the number of employees in my company will exceed 500, it will only be more, not less..."

As he spoke, Lin Qi took out his checkbook again. He held a pen and the tip of the pen almost landed on the check. He raised his head and asked a question that was completely unrelated to the content just now, "What is the upper limit for donations by a single person in this state?"

In order to limit the hidden unethical transactions between capitalists and some politicians through Political Donation, Federal Government has stipulated a maximum donation law. Everyone has a donation limit every year. This has very well curbed the momentum of capitalist Chi Guoguo's search for political spokespersons, but it has also made something that can be seen through at a glance a little complicated, and is actually of little use.

Most companies will collectively donate to politicians in their camp. It is a collective and overall donation, including part-time jobs that may only cost about 100 yuan a month, and they will also donate up to the limit to support political parties. Everyone knows why this is and why it is like this.

In order to strengthen some information management, this bill was later revised to require the recording of each donor's name and donation amount, but it still cannot prevent the transfer of benefits - donations can be over-reimbursed, people donate enthusiastically, and they still feel that the upper limit is too low!

Ferral immediately realized something. He moved his butt again and whispered, "The regulations in this state are that cash cannot exceed one hundred and fifty yuan..."

Lin Qi didn't reply to him, and immediately wrote a line of numbers on the checkbook, then tore off the check and pushed it over.

This is a brand new transfer check. The number of 75,000 yuan on it made Ferral breathe faster. He looked at the check and then at Lin Qi. Lin Qi put away the pen and exposed it. Always smiling like sunshine, "I think our city has made great progress since Mayor came to power Sabine City. I very much support Mayor's political program and governance philosophy..."

He paused for a moment before saying, "What kind of party is Mayor from?"

Ferral almost covered his face and ran away. He raised his hand to clasp his eyebrows and said bravely, "Federal Progressive Party..."

"Yes! Federal Progressive Party!" Lin Qi raised his finger and pointed at Ferral, "Federal Progressive Party is a very good party. I know them and appreciate their performance. This is my donation to Mayor and Federal Progressive Party. Isn't it illegal?"

Ferral smiled bitterly and shook his head. It is definitely not illegal. If it does not exceed the upper limit, it will not be illegal. "But you still need a list, sir. These lists and money must be registered!"

Lin Qi picked up the phone book from the corner of the table and put it back on the table with a bang. He looked directly at Ferral, feeling as if he was ordering him to do something, "There are more than five hundred people here!"

The two looked at each other for a moment. Ferral sighed and nodded. He understood what Lin Qi meant.

Of course, he was not the one to do these things in the end. There were young people in their own office who specialized in handling these dirty jobs. Those people knew how to extract five hundred names from the phone book to make this donation look more perfect.

He picked up the check and stuffed it into his pocket, while Lin Qi continued to ask, "When will my subsidy be released?"

Ferral thought about it for a while, "We need to study it. There are at least five hearings. If it passes, City Hall will give you some financial or policy assistance in the form of policy support, such as tax exemption."

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows, "I thought the tax exemption was only for small companies."

Compared with things like subsidies, the benefits brought by tax exemption are actually more objective, but not completely absolute.

For a company that can only earn one million a year, if Federal Government can give him an additional subsidy of five hundred thousand, his income will exceed the tax-free policy. The tax-free policy will exempt him from up to more than 30% of various taxes, which is more than three hundred thousand, but the subsidy of five hundred thousand allows him to make some money after paying the tax.

But for someone as ambitious as Lin Qi, tax exemption is more valuable than subsidies. He is confident that he can achieve a net profit of one million, ten million or even more within two or three years.

He nodded with satisfaction and asked seemingly casually, "No one will make things difficult for me, right?"

This sentence contained a hint of warning. Ferral shook his head and said, "Probably not!"

Lin Qi said "Okay" and then stood up. Ferral also stood up. Lin Qi reached out and held Ferral's hand. He said with a smile, "Let me tell Mr. Mayor that I admire him very much. I hope we can have dinner together if we have time..."

Ferral no longer had so many thoughts at this time, and left as soon as possible after nodding his head. He never wanted to see people like Lin Qi again.

Looking at Ferral's fleeing back, Lin Qi couldn't help but laugh. Is it so easy to get his money?

No, no one really thinks so, right?
