Lao Wu had been driving on the road for nearly two hours, constantly changing his route, and the other party kept following him.
When he arrived at a gas station, he discovered that the vehicles being followed were two vehicles, a sedan and an off-road vehicle.
Why is the crime rate so high in the United States? In fact, it is also because of the vast land and sparse population, that is, there are few surveillance equipment. They adopt point-to-point eavesdropping and network monitoring, that is, they have to control those who are in danger. As for other things,
For example, for some petty thefts and other crimes, they will make you wait for a long time.
In the United States, car inspections and drunk driving inspections are done directly by Sir on the roadside. To put it simply, if there is no car inspection on this stretch of road, no one will care about you if you drink and speed. Moreover, many road sections do not have surveillance systems, or the surveillance is ineffective.
, there is one thing that cannot be avoided in any public facilities, that is, maintenance costs. The later value of maintenance costs may be higher than the product itself.
Due to the high population density in China, each area has a dedicated person responsible for it. Brand owners not only have public business, but also private business, so the cost will be reduced, so the maintenance cost will be low.
In many places in the United States, it is not surprising that only one car passes by every week, or even no one passes by for a long time. This kind of maintenance cost is not cost-effective. It is not certain whether the camera can be installed, and it is likely to have to pull the network cable separately.
When the cables are installed, the cost will increase again. Who will pay for this expense? They calculate the expenditure very carefully.
The lowest crime rate in the United States is in the urban areas that everyone is familiar with. Most of the areas are really chaotic, and the probability of encountering robbery is not low, especially at night. If you are targeted in a deserted place,
, that is indeed very dangerous, which is why everyone likes to stay at home when it is dark, because there is a surveillance camera at home. If you break into a house privately, you can commit surveillance, and many people will spend their own money to install a surveillance camera outside the house for safety.
Lao Wu has biubiu on him at this time. In this area, it is enough to have a biubiu certificate.
After filling up the gas, Lao Wu quickly started the car and left. The car behind him had just refueled. After watching Lao Wu leave, the other car added a little gas and then stopped. After paying the bill, he quickly followed.
Lao Wu drove to a deserted road. It was pitch black. Lao Wu accelerated in a straight line and drove the car to 220. The car behind him also accelerated, but Lao Wu's taillights could no longer be seen.
.
After Lao Wu accelerated, he stopped stepping on the accelerator and let the car slowly move forward using its inertia. He waited for the car behind him. When the speed of the car slowed down, Lao Wu unbuckled his seat belt, quickly opened the car door and jumped into the bushes on the side of the road.
The car slid forward for a while and then stopped there. After a while, the car behind caught up and found that the front of Lao Wu's car had stopped moving. The two people in the car got out of the car and slowly approached with biubiu in their hands.
Lao Wu was lying in the grass about ten meters behind them. He picked up the anesthetic gun and quickly aimed at the back of their necks and pulled the trigger.
Soon the two of them fell to the ground. Lao Wu did not rush out, but waited for the car behind.
He quickly moved back, and sure enough, another car followed and two people got out. As soon as they got out of the car, Lao Wu pulled the trigger, hitting one person's hand and the other person's neck.
.
If he were to use his bare hands, it would take some effort for Old Wu to deal with these people, but if he were allowed to obtain weapons and then hide and take the initiative, Old Wu would be terrifying.
In the past ten years of his career, Lao Wu was able to survive not because he was lucky, but because he was strong enough.
Old Wu still didn't rush forward, but moved slowly. He took out a palm-sized telescopic night vision telescope and observed the surroundings. He would not show up voluntarily unless it was 100% safe.
This has been his habit for many years and he is cautious.
After confirming that there were no more tails, Lao Wu quickly gave those people a patch of injection before getting up, tying them up with ropes and putting them in the car.
Lao Wu's realization has proved that he is worth one million dollars in annual salary. Zhao Mingyang's salary increase is worth every penny. Now he has received an annual salary of nearly 600,000 US dollars.
This amount is not low. If Lao Wu worked here, his annual salary would be at most 300,000 US dollars, because people here don’t understand Lao Wu’s value. The market price is this, unless you have a brilliant resume.
But Lao Wu didn't have the light to perform, only bullet holes and scars all over his body.
But Zhao Mingyang felt that Lao Wu was worth a million dollars, because he was worth it, he was loyal and true enough, especially Zhao Mingyang often made jokes about Lao Wu and wanted to introduce him to a rich woman. Lao Wu blushed every time he heard it.
Gradually, the relationship between Lao Wu and Zhao Mingyang has slowly changed from an employment relationship to a friend in the past few years. Zhao Mingyang also helped Lao Wu arrange jobs for a group of his former brothers. In fact, mercenaries are really not popular abroad. There are too many
They didn't give much, and they were always on tenterhooks all day long. Once they were worthless, they would be worthless.
Old Wu searched behind the group of people, closed the car door, and took them directly to a river. Then he woke them up and gave a few people a chance. Who sent them to follow them.
Lao Wu put everyone in the car alone and asked them. The group of people quickly revealed who arranged for them to come. This is also a different way of thinking.
Here, nothing is more important than life. Everyone is working. There is no point in risking your life for something like this. If you die, there will be nothing left.
After confirming the information, Lao Wu drove away and called Zhao Mingyang and said: "I found it. It was a financial company who arranged for them to follow you."
After Zhao Mingyang heard this, he checked the company on his mobile phone. This was so embarrassing.
This company belongs to Yvonne's husband. Zhao Mingyang is a little cautious. Has he discovered that he and Yiffney have something to do with each other?
Zhao Mingyang's mentality immediately changed. He felt that he had been wronged. Zhao Mingyang took out his mobile phone and turned on the front camera to severely condemn himself.
I was deeply condemned and punished myself with three bottles of AD calcium milk when I returned home.
Then he was going to strengthen security. Just to be on the safe side, he took out his mobile phone and called Eveni to see what was going on first. If that didn't work, he would just run away at night. He didn't have any big hobbies. He just liked to do some gardening and plant greenery when he had nothing to do.
Giving a plant to someone else is not a crime that will lead to death, right?
Zhao Mingyang asked some indirect questions, and finally told him directly whether he had been discovered.
As a result, Yvonne said that Zhao Mingyang was overthinking, because her husband's family has always been in this business, so she has always been very careful. This is actually nothing new in the United States, and suspicious targets will be monitored.
There is a company that specializes in undertaking this type of business for yamen here in the United States, investigating target information and driving trajectories. Because yamen cannot do it themselves every time, it is more economical to outsource it and save the cost of a specialized department to do this. As mentioned earlier
In the United States, many things are cost-conscious, including security investment. In order to save costs, some areas only have a few police officers in a large area, so it is not very safe and the crime rate is increasing year by year.
The crime rate is increasing year by year, and more people are squatting in it. They have no money left to expand the cells and upgrade the protection, because there is oil and water. This is an invisible place. What can be seen is calculated carefully, and many people are deceived.
.
It is normal for Zhao Mingyang to be targeted, because Zhao Mingyang comes here frequently and has records. Although Zhao Mingyang has changed his identity, his face has not changed. There is a high probability that Zhao Mingyang is being targeted, or his information has been sold.
.
Someone told Zhao Mingyang some domestic information to the United States. As long as the net worth exceeds tens of billions or even billions, special care will be taken. It is the same everywhere, because the wealth should be as legal as possible at most, but there is no way to do it.
to absolute concealment.
Eveni revealed a piece of information to Zhao Mingyang. Previously, Eveni also reminded Zhao Mingyang not to use the phone number of the telecommunications provider. It is best to use an encrypted phone to talk about important content.
She told Zhao Mingyang that the more ordinary people's information is, the less valuable it is. No one pays attention to it, and most scammers will pay attention. But the more powerful people are, the more special attention they receive. It is basically a global network.
For example, if a big boss's child goes to school abroad, it will be useless even if he changes his name, because everyone knows your information. The only thing is that you don't give the other party any good evidence to prove that you have done something that harms their interests locally.
If Zhao Mingyang wants to dispel their suspicion and tracking, the best way is to consume and invest. If he does not consume or invest, and his actions are single, he will be targeted.
So Zhao Mingyang's problem is that his purpose is too clear every time he comes, and he lives in a fixed place and has a single activity track. Anyone would be targeted.
Eveni told Zhao Mingyang that one way is to live here for a period of time, buy some real estate, and then spend money. If you want to live here for a long time, it is best to buy a house in a school district. It seems like you are considering sending your children to school in the future.
We need to invest more in some industries here, so that Zhao Mingyang will be removed from the watch list soon.
Zhao Mingyang looked so stupid! I am such an upright person, and it is really abominable that this Yvonne's husband is following me. I should go to his house to talk to Yvonne someday and have a good chat about this matter.
I will go to see Yvonne and release my anger.
It was a false alarm, but Zhao Mingyang decided to be careful. He knew that Eveni was more careful than him, because Eveni's family must have told her not to have any negative news, especially not this year, not allowed.
Zhao Mingyang probably understood what he meant. For example, every time a foreigner worth several billion goes to China, he goes to a fixed place, stays for two days and then leaves. If he does this over and over again, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
Is the purpose unclear? Zhao Mingyang is also doing this, so just buy a house. According to Eveni's preferred school district house, this one already has a certain purpose, maybe for the children to go to school.
The second point is to live in the previous stage, consume and invest, and give this place the illusion of being ready to immigrate here.
I have to say that the surveillance in the United States is indeed too harsh, especially on a global scale. Zhao Mingyang probably has a clear understanding of the situation here. This is why Hua Qinghua is so cautious. Zhao Mingyang is at best a businessman now.
Now it is enough to confirm his identity as a businessman, but he is afraid that the other party will think that he is not a businessman, which will be more troublesome for him.
The next day, Zhao Mingyang contacted a real estate agency and wanted to buy a suite in Los Angeles in a good school district.
In areas like Los Angeles, housing in a school district, with elementary school, junior high school, and high school, has a housing price of US$7 to 8 million. Most of the houses are single-family houses and townhouses, and there are also apartment buildings.
Public schools in the United States have a grading system. Basically, those with a score below seven are not very good and are definitely the best. They are also called wealthy areas.
The higher the score of the school, the better the security, the better the business, and the better the infrastructure in the area where the residents are located. The focus here is security, because security in the United States is very concentrated, basically in wealthy areas.
You don't need to be wary when you go out in this area at night, because there are street lights and there are sirs on duty all the time. These are all costs that need to be paid. The rich here bear them, and the rich tax is enough to cover this security fee.
Therefore, the houses for sale are not cheap, and the renting is not cheap either. As long as the house is in this area, you can go to the school in the area. You can also rent a house, and you must provide the utility bill to be paid.
People who have just arrived in the United States, no matter where they are in the world, must know one thing. If you have money, you will first choose the rich area. It is really safe there. If you don't have much money, go straight to the Chinese area, which is second only to the rich area.
The public security in the Chinese area is relatively good, and the infrastructure is complete. In addition, the Chinese attach great importance to children's education, and the schools in the area have also been raised. Basically, they are above seven points. In fact, the price is not cheap.
In recent years, most of the newcomers to wealthy areas are Asians, because Asians value education very seriously. This is why many local people in the United States have opinions about Asians, because Asians are invisibly telling some local aborigines that
, you can’t afford to live in the rich area, you can only live in the slums, and you can only work for us. This is also a way of Lao Yula’s hatred. I used to know that Lao Yula made money.
The houses in the area that Zhao Mingyang was looking at were very good for the elementary and high schools in the area.
A single-family villa with a very large yard. Most of the houses here were built in the 1960s. This is normal in the United States, where there are many century-old houses.
House prices in this area start at US$800,000, and are better at US$14.5 million. A US$14.5 million house may not necessarily be larger than an US$800,000 one, but it must be larger than an US$800,000 one.
One hundred thousand dollars is closer to the city.
The house Zhao Mingyang is looking at now is worth 1.6 million US dollars. It is a house in the 1960s. The house is of good shape. It can be seen that it was renovated later. The owner of the house reopened the windows and the lighting is good.
It is a single-family house with a large courtyard and a supermarket within a five-minute walk.
In fact, the price of US$14.5 million may not be expensive in first-tier cities in China. After all, a two-bedroom apartment may cost such a high price, but the property tax in the United States is not low.
First of all, not all houses in the United States have permanent land property rights. You must be clear about this. They only exist for single-family houses, not apartments and townhouses. They are developed and sold by developers. The permanent property rights of the land are with the developers, but the land
The real estate property rights of the house above belong to the householder. The householder has permanent residence rights but no land use rights.
A single-family house has permanent land use rights. Many people may be confused about this. Let’s talk about property tax.
The property tax is levied by first assessing the current value of the land. For example, the land [land] for the house that Zhao Mingyang is interested in is worth 300,000 US dollars. After calculating and evaluating the value of the house on the land, it is 1.3 million US dollars.
, that’s a total value of $1.6 million.
If you live in the house yourself and don't rent it out, you will get an exemption of about 10,000, but if you rent it out, it will be waived.
It should be noted here that there is a discrepancy between the value of the tax assessment and the market assessment. For example, the tax assessment of the house purchased by Zhao Mingyang was worth 1.3 million, but it was sold for 1.6 million. Zhao Mingyang now has to pay taxes according to
1.6 million assessed.
If the neighbor next door has not sold it and has been living on his own, his tax payment will be lower than that of Zhao Mingyang. According to the exemption of 1.6 million minus almost 10,000, it is 1.59 million. The current tax payment in Los Angeles is about 100%
One is fifteen thousand nine hundred dollars.
This is just the real estate tax. There are other taxes under the tax stamp, such as municipal greening and school maintenance fees. In addition, the actual real estate tax paid is almost 1.2%, which is 19,088.
It's only ten dollars, which is already more than half of an office worker's annual salary.
This is also the case in the past when real estate agents and local yamen in many states in the United States deceived foreigners to buy houses. Because there were no people and no economy in that area, if you wanted to increase taxes, you could only think of ways to build a house. How could they give you a house for a dollar?
Big villa. If some people really believe it, they go and buy a big villa.
But this dollar cannot be the market value at all. After you take it over, I tell you that the market value of the house is assessed at half a million dollars. Taxes in different states in the United States are different. In some areas, the property tax is as high as 2%.
.
If you buy this house and you can't sell it at all, then you have to pay taxes every year. If you don't want to live here alone, what should you do if you want the economy to get better or if you sell the house? Or you can trick people into investing and make you this
The house is rented or sold.
There is no need to worry about selling houses in places like Los Angeles and New York, but there are more areas in the United States where houses cannot be sold.
