Chapter 97 Mayor Mike, Subscribing to Municipal Bonds
Jiang Feng called lawyer Zhang Wei.
Help draft the donation agreement —
1. Donated $100 million to the police department
2. Donation of three police cars (one Ford Raptor, one Ford Explorer, and one Chevrolet Suburban).
3. Donate ten sets of advanced police special operations gear, including advanced bulletproof vests, advanced bulletproof helmets, thermal imaging night vision devices, tactical radios, tactical backpacks, etc.
4. Donated 8 MP5 submachine guns
5. Donate 2 AWM sniper rifles
...
The total is approximately two million US dollars!
In addition, Jiang Feng allowed PD Leggett to borrow the helicopter free of charge if needed.
For example, pursuing fugitives, rescue operations, and disaster relief.
Chief Qiao also promised, "Mr. Jiang, I will go back immediately and recruit six officers, doubling our police force!"
“From now on, I will arrange for a police car to patrol around your farm every day on a rotating basis, ready to be dispatched at any time.”
Leggett PD is always at your service!
Good
very good!
Jiang Feng nodded with great satisfaction.
After listening to the translation, my parents, grandparents, and I exclaimed with delight: "America is really great!"
Yes, for rich people!

Sheriff Joe returned to the town hall with the donation contract and check, and reported the donation to the mayor.
"Holy shit!"
"Jiang Feng donated so much money?"
"my Lord!"
"Joe, what do you think of Jiang Feng? Is he a capitalist? Is he reliable?"
Mayor Mike asked with great curiosity.
Sergeant Joe laughed heartily: "No, no, no, Mr. Jiang is very easy-going, has a very good temper, and is very honest!"
"I feel like he's a good guy."
"Moreover, he promised to favor local taxes, amounting to tens of millions of dollars annually. Our small town will receive several million dollars, resolving the financial crisis. You don't need to worry anymore."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Jiang asked you to issue municipal bonds, and he will subscribe for ten million US dollars!"
"Addressing short-term needs."
Mayor Mike stared in shock, his mouth slightly agape, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.
Savior!
If we had ten million dollars, we wouldn't have to worry about a shortage of public funds this year.
The school district also has funding.
No need to increase property tax.
Oh my God, thank God!
The economy is in trouble now, and raising taxes is simply unbearable. He's afraid it will drive the citizens crazy and that someone might shoot him in the back.
Ugh, Sonofabitch!
Fortunately, we met our savior.
"Oh shit, Joe, do you think I should go and pay him a visit? Yes, I absolutely have to!"
Mike put on his cowboy hat, turned around, and walked away.
But after thinking about it for a moment...
He then picked up a few more documents and forced Chief Qiao to go with him to visit Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng and his friends were fishing by the river.
The harvest was explosive!
The populations of silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, black carp, and common carp—these Asian carp species—are truly terrifying…
Just throw it in and you'll catch fish!
Just throw it in and you'll catch fish!
The most common fish are silver carp, weighing anywhere from 20 to 30 jin, 30 to 40 jin, and even 40 to 50 jin, some as tall as a person.
There are also silver carp and bighead carp, also known as bighead carp or bighead carp, which are about the same weight, and their heads are really the size of a washbasin.
"If this were used to make chopped chili fish head, hey, tsk tsk tsk, it would be incredibly fragrant and spicy!" Grandpa Jiang Zhenshan said with a big smile.
Grandma sighed and lamented, "Americans really don't know what they're talking about! This is wild fish; it would be incredibly expensive in China!"
Rivers in California's agricultural areas are very clean.
There are no factories nearby.
There was no sewage discharge along the way.
For example, Leggett, located in Mendocino County, covers an area of 9,000 square kilometers but has a population of only 80,000.
(There are fewer than ten people within a one-kilometer radius)
Moreover, the population is concentrated in towns like Leggett, while the agricultural and pastoral areas are sparsely populated. Where would ghosts discharge their waste?
Compared to rivers that pass through large cities, the water quality of this river is undoubtedly much cleaner!
The fish must be very clean.
Real wild fish!
Many female carp have eggs inside their bellies. They can be deep-fried and then boiled in a dry pot, which tastes good and is very nutritious.
Spicy fish head is a must-have!

Just as they were getting ready to pack up, Sheriff Joe arrived again, this time with Mayor Mike, who greeted them warmly.
"Hi Jiang, nice to meet you!"
“I am the mayor of the town of Leggett.”
"Michael Swanson!"
(Michael Swanson)
You can call me Mike.
(short for Mike/Michael)
Jiang Feng greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Mayor Mike, your surname combined with Sheriff Joe's first name is simply amazing."
Joe Swanson
The sheriff from the American comic book series "Family Guy".
Mayor Mike understood and laughed heartily: "That's really something, Pete's good friend. To be honest, we're pretty much considered big beasts by the residents too."
"You know, this job is very likely to offend people!"
"Ah~"
Jiang Feng casually replied, "I understand!"
Mayor Mike grumbled helplessly, "The residents always feel that I'm trying to find ways to impose exorbitant taxes."
But I swear to God—
"These taxes are all collected from the people and used for the people. How can the town continue to operate without paying taxes?"
"Of course, I understand. The economy has been really tough these past few months, and everyone is struggling financially!"
At this point, his face suddenly turned serious:
He grasped Jiang Feng's hand and said:
"Jiang, on behalf of all the residents of the town, I must express my sincerest gratitude to you. You saved Leggett!"
"You are our savior."
"They are angels sent by God to save us!"
"Jiang, if you need anything in the future, just let me know. I promise to do my best and spare no expense to help you."
Goodness, this tactic looks familiar.
Is this a universally applicable script?
(￣^￣)”
Jiang Feng responded very politely: "Mayor, you don't need to be so polite. Our farm is also part of Leggett, and I have a responsibility to protect the basic interests of these employees."
"I also hope that the town will get better and better!"
"We hope to improve the quality of education in the school district."
"We hope the town's safety situation remains stable."
Mayor Mike quickly expressed his gratitude, and Sheriff Joe also solemnly assured him: "Mr. Jiang, I will tell all the residents and make sure they understand that it was you who saved Leggett."
"Without you, they would raise taxes!"
"Local schools and police stations may be closed!"
Jiang Feng nodded knowingly: "Mayor, then I'll trouble you to inform the residents to issue municipal bonds. I'm prepared to subscribe for ten million US dollars. You can decide the total amount."
The total amount? The total amount is ten million US dollars!
The economy is currently sluggish.
Who has the money to buy bonds?
ah~
Mike readily agreed and respectfully presented Jiang Feng with several forms, including data on the town's population, development, public expenditures, and funding, just like a subordinate reporting to a subordinate.
Jiang Feng looked at the town's statistics.
really
The country is heavily reliant on tourism!
The town's economy is supported by more than a dozen budget hotels, motels, and villa hotels, as well as more than a dozen restaurants and public beach recreational facilities.
Now, hotels, restaurants, beaches, bars, gas stations, supermarkets, and so on are experiencing a sharp decline in customers.
The economy is really in a terrible slump!
Adding a property tax would be adding insult to injury and would be a disaster for many residents.
Jiang Feng could be said to have saved their lives.
No exaggeration!
From now on, anyone who disagrees with Jiang Feng will have to keep quiet.
After seeing off Mayor Mike and Sheriff Joe, Jiang Feng and his group packed up and went home, picking up some lobsters on the way.
Great harvest!
Dozens of kilograms of crayfish, hundreds of kilograms of fish.
I brought them all home, gutted and cleaned them, and selected a few small fish to cook sweet and sour carp, dry pot carp, pickled cabbage grass carp, braised grass carp, and so on.
Large carp, grass carp, and silver carp should not be wasted; they should all be split in half and coated with fish marinade powder.

Silver carp can be used to make dishes like steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers and boiled fish!
