074 Wedding dress
(On Wednesday, I suddenly found that our votes were almost a thousand. My brothers were so powerful - it was not that Fish Head didn't pursue it. Anyone who had read the expedition knew that as long as the Fish Head's book was on the shelves, Fish Head never asked for votes, so when it was not on the shelves, I needed the support of my brothers, and it was very necessary-)
After filling out the form and paying membership fees, Li Mu became a member of the National Rifle Association. In the United States, Li Mu finally had the first social group to identify with him.
"The purpose of the National Rifle Association is to serve all members. We not only provide members with guidance on using guns, but also hold shooting competitions regularly. We will also publish regular journals to better serve all members. But you know, these services are not free and require financial support. Just rely on the guys downstairs who are ten cents a day, the National Rifle Association will never become a truly influential organization. The so-called 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility', so should you guys pay more? Don't fool me, I know you are a rich man now, otherwise Will wouldn't come to the door-" Ryan Matthew said in a mess, with one purpose: Please, uncle, give more charity--
The United States has a large number of associations, and these social organizations are generally non-profit organizations. If they want to survive, they can only rely on various voluntary or involuntary donations.
Ryan Matthew's meaning is obvious. If you want the Rifle Association to provide you with services, then you can do it.
Li Mu didn't refuse either. Li Mu knew what a huge organization the National Rifle Association would be in the future. Li Mu was a guy who was determined to become an arms dealer. It would be beneficial to Li Mu without any harm to establishing a good relationship with the National Rifle Association. Donating is certain, but Ryan Matthew cannot feel that it is too easy to come. It is a fight against Mien.
"It's okay to pay more membership fees, but what can I get? Don't fool me with the guidance." Li Mu didn't go around in circles and opened the skylight and said something bright.
What is certain is that Li Mu does not need guidance when using a gun, so Jesse James broke it into Li Mu's hands, and Li Mu is almost the same when he guides others.
"It depends on how much you pay. If your sincerity is enough, you will be protected by the National Rifle Association. If someone wants to be unfavorable to you, it is to be an enemy of the National Rifle Association. All Springfielders will stand on your side - you are still from the Qing Dynasty. If you get such a large sum of money, don't you need to pay taxes to the Qing Empire? If you want to, you can become a US citizen now, then you will save a lot of taxes. If the Qing Empire wants to target you, the US government will become your guardian god." Ryan Matthew made a suggestion that made Li Mu very moved.
Tax is an unavoidable problem in the United States. The taxes in the United States are divided into federal tax, state tax and local tax. There are many kinds of things and a wide variety. Many Americans need to hire a lawyer to figure out how much tax they have to pay.
Relatively speaking, the tax system of the Qing Empire was much simpler for Li Mu. In fact, there were many taxes in the Qing Empire. However, Li Mu was in the United States and the Qing Empire could not control it. Moreover, even in the Qing Empire, there were still many ways to evade taxes. The biggest difference between the taxes of the Qing Empire and the United States is the tax payer group. In the United States, the tax system is progressive, and the more you earn, the more you pay. However, in the Qing Empire, everyone is lost. The poorer the people, the more they have to pay taxes. The real powerful can transcend the extrajudicial.
"Add to American nationality - I need to consider this issue." Li Mu did not immediately give in. Although he had no worries in the Qing Empire, Li Mu was not alone now. The Yan family still had to rely on Li Mu to live. Li Mu wanted to seek the opinions of the Yan family.
Although there was a telegram at this time, it was not easy to pass messages from the United States to the Qing Empire. There were still several transit stations on the way. It was estimated that the Qing Empire had already obtained relevant information from Li Mu. However, with the efficiency of the Qing government, it would probably take some time to respond, so Li Mu still has time to operate.
"Then you have to think carefully. Once you become a US citizen, the US government will become your strong backing. At that time, you may be able to join the Council of our Rifle Association—" Speaking of this, Ryan Matthew looked at Li Mu a little strangely and said helplessly: "Of course, you have to wait until you grow up a little longer."
Although Li Mu dressed up very maturely, similar to Bresta next to him, his face was still childish and he looked like a child.
This situation made Li Mu very angry. Every time he looked in the mirror, Li Mu had the urge to take a knife to scratch his face. Perhaps it would make others ignore his age.
It's just thinking about it. Li Mu doesn't want to suffer that and wants to make himself look mature. Li Mu has some solutions. In recent days, Li Mu has been using Will's razor to shave his face, and he shaves his cheeks together. Although there is no effect yet and no beard grows, Li Mu believes that as long as he persists, it won't take long to have Li Mu's beard with a "mature" face.
Of course, what Ryan Matthew said is definitely not the Council of the National Rifle Association, but the Council of the Rifle Association in the Springfield area.
"I will think carefully, so now there is only one question left, how much do I have to donate to the right?" Li Mu looked at Will when he spoke. At this time, Will is still worthy of Li Mu's trust.
"I donated ten dollars, you can do whatever you want. If you want to enter the council in the future, you should donate more, such as - $100." Will gave a suggestion, less than Li Mu expected.
In Li Mu's concept, raising donations from a guy worth 50,000 US dollars, why should you set your goal at the "thousand US dollars" level? Otherwise, I would be sorry for this opportunity. Will and Li Mu are still a little "kind" compared to Li Mu.
After hearing Will's words, Li Mu obviously saw Ryan Matthew's eyes lit up. His eyes looked at Li Mu as if he was looking at a boy from Shancai, which gave Li Mu a rough understanding of the economic situation of the Springfield Rifle Association.
"I offer two hundred dollars—" Li Mu stretched out his slap, and Ryan Matthew was overjoyed: "There is only one request to let Will enter the Council of the Rifle Association and serve as the director of the Rifle Association."
This is such a singular way to buy and sell official positions!
"Trade!" Ryan Matthew went out and called the financial staff without any hesitation.
Seeing Ryan Matthew go out, Will complained to Li Mu: "Why donate so much? You still want me to join the Council. Have you received my authorization?"
Americans are indeed very concerned about "authorization". Even if it is good for themselves, as long as they do not get their authorization, it will infringe on their rights.
