Chapter 1030 The Quileut Patriarch

After hunting a deer and a wild boar in the jungle, everyone carried them back to Sam's cabin, packed up the prey and roasted it, and the two women, Emily and Lear, arranged tables and chairs.

Jacob and Paul drove to Fox Town to buy wine, and Jiang Hao gave them 1,000 US dollars at once, which was a huge sum of money, a pack of beer was a few dollars, a bottle of liquor was a few dollars and a dozen dollars, Jacob's pickup truck There is a full back bucket in it.

When Jacob and the others came back, the wild boar and venison had just finished roasting. Seeing so much wine, the crowd couldn't help cheering. The banquet officially began. Basically open the can and kill it in one gulp.

Outside Sam's cabin was full of noises, and now they are a family, the Quilut werewolf family, halfway through drinking, Jiang Hao raised his glass and said, "I have something to announce."

As soon as the others heard that the leader had something to say, they immediately lowered their voices. Jiang Hao smiled, looked at Sam at last, and said, "Sam is the first one in our generation to awaken, and the clansmen who awakened later have all been taken care of and supported by Sam. Teach, Sam has contributed to the Quileute wolf clan, so I propose that Sam be the deputy leader of the Quileute wolf clan."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then cheered, "Okay, we support!"

In fact, among the current wolves, Sam has a high prestige. He is the first to awaken, and the one who opens the way is often the most difficult and tiring. Brady and Colin all grew up under the guidance of Sam, and even later Jacob and Seth. Jiang Hao snatched the position of wolf king just after awakening. Some people inevitably feel a little uncomfortable , but his bloodline and strength are there, so he suppressed other people, but Jiang Hao understands that if he wants to stabilize the ethnic group, Sam is a very important part. If Sam is stabilized, most of the ethnic group will be stabilized.

Another point is that Sam's temperament is very calm, he works steadily, and he is also a suitable manager, fully qualified to be a deputy commander.

In contrast, Jacob is a little worse, he is a little too emotional in his work, Jiang Hao feels that Jacob still needs a period of time to learn and grow.

Sam was also a little surprised by Jiang Hao's appointment. He was silent for a few seconds, then stood up and walked in front of Jiang Hao, looked at Jiang Hao and said, "My great-grandfather Livi Uli used to be Quiru The deputy leader of the wolf tribe, following the king of thousands of wolves, Karen Black, and now I, Sam Uli, swear to follow Jon Black."

After Sam finished speaking, he clenched his right fist on his chest and lowered his head slightly in front of Jiang Hao. This was Sam's expression of submission and loyalty.

Jiang Hao was not worried about Sam's conspiracy to betray, and pulled his own team to fight against Jiang Hao, because this is not the character of a werewolf, and humans will use those methods.

The wolf clan is one of the most disciplined races, and their allegiance to the wolf king is in their genes. Once they recognize the wolf king, they will not easily betray unless the wolf king betrays the clan first.

There is also a tradition of the wolf family. If you want to compete for the wolf king, you can, but you have to defeat the wolf king head-on, and win the wolf king position with strength, otherwise you will not be recognized by other werewolves.

Is Jiang Hao afraid of a head-on challenge?

don't be afraid

He has absolute confidence to subdue every giant wolf with his strength.

In fact, even if someone wants to play tricks and tricks, it doesn't matter. Jiang Hao himself is born to play tricks. He has experienced so many worlds and seen so many tricks and tricks. For nothing.

The party lasted until the afternoon, and many people drank too much. Jiang Hao drove Jacob home and saw Uncle Billy in the living room, "Uncle, I will send Jacob to the room first."

"Go."

Throwing Jacob on the bed, Jiang Hao returned to the living room, Billy was obviously waiting for him, Jiang Hao smiled at Billy, "Uncle, my blood has awakened, I defeated Sam, and now I am Kui Lute's new generation of wolf king Alpha."

There was a smile on Billy's face, but he didn't show too much surprise, "When I heard the wolf howling this morning, I had some guesses in my heart, and I was very much looking forward to it being you, Jon, I am very relieved, Blake The family has produced another Alpha."

But then, Billy's face became serious, and he looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Jon, Alpha is not just a right, but more a responsibility. The responsibility of the wolf king is to lead the group to live better and to make people better." The tribe thrives."

Jiang Hao nodded, "Yes uncle, I understand my responsibilities, and I will do my best to make the life of the Quileutes and the wolf clan better."

The uncle and nephew talked a lot, and they talked about the current situation of the Indians. The current Indians are a race at the bottom of the United States. The infrastructure in the reserved area is very poor. Many places have no roads, no water and electricity, and no Internet.

Take their quilute reservation area as an example. Their reservation area is a community. There are more than 3,000 Indians in total. There are elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. However, teachers and students here are all Indians, and the dropout rate is very high. Gao, many families here live a simple rural life, engaged in planting, hunting, animal husbandry, etc. It is not bad for a family to have an income of 10,000 to 20,000 a year.

There is only one village here, about a thousand people live in the village, and the remaining two thousand people are scattered on their own land in the reservation area, just like Jiang Hao owns his own land, and his home is on his own land.

This is still in a semi-agricultural state of life, how can there be great development, Jiang Hao looked at Billy and said: "Uncle, I have some ideas, I hope to change the status quo of the reserved area and make people's lives better."

"Oh, tell me?" Billy asked.

"Uncle, what do you think is the most inseparable from the development of a place?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Money, invest."

Jiang Haoxin said that you are serious, "Yes, if you want to develop, you can't do without investment, but if you want to invest, you have to find a way to make money, don't you think so?"

"right."

"My idea is to use the unique advantages of the reserved area to make money, let people earn more money, and improve people's lives." Jiang Hao said.

Billy frowned, "You mean a casino?"

Except for some specific places in the United States, such as Las Vegas and Atlantic City, most states prohibit gambling, but the government has a decree that allows free casinos in Indian reservations.

"But our place is too remote. In the Olympia Mountains, there is only Fox Town with a few thousand people nearby. Who would come here to gamble?"

Jiang Hao shook his head, "Casinos won't work here. I've thought of several ways. The first one is to use the government's exemption from luxury tax and tobacco and alcohol monopoly tax in reserved areas to sell luxury goods and high-end tobacco and alcohol."

Billy said: "I know that the Navajo tribe sells luxury goods and high-end tobacco and alcohol, and that's what they use. But because there are casinos there, tourists and gamblers can only sell them there. No one comes here. I think It’s hard to make money selling things.”

The Navajo tribe is the largest American Indian reservation. It is located in the wilderness of the western Colorado Plateau. Most of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado is in the Indian reservation. This reservation covers an area of ​​70,000 square kilometers. It is Hawaii The state is twice as big, with a population of almost 300,000, and it is also the largest group of Indians in North America. Because the Grand Canyon scenic spot in Colorado also attracts many tourists there, they started casinos and luxury businesses.

The Navajo tribe is also the head of the Indian Reservation Alliance, and the Quileut Reservation is also a member of the alliance, and Billy is one of the members of the alliance.

The Navajo tribe can do that, but they can’t do it in the Quileut settlement. Their reservation is too small, only a few thousand acres in size, which is about the same as a large farm, and it’s located in the mountains, so there are no tourists at all. Luxury goods have no buyers at all.

"Uncle, I'm going to sell it on the Internet." Jiang Hao had already planned for this.

"The internet?"

Billy had heard the term, but he knew nothing about the Internet.

"Uncle, the Internet can connect people across the United States and even the world. I plan to sell some high-tax luxury goods, tobacco and alcohol online. If anyone buys them, I will mail them to them. As long as they are products from our residential area, they will be sold." It can be tax-free, so that even after deducting the shipping fee, it can be much cheaper than outside stores." Jiang Hao said.

Jiang Hao wants to create the American versions of Taobao and JD. It is now 2003, and Amazon has just begun to sell things other than books online. Taobao was also established in this year. He established a low-price luxury tobacco and alcohol There should be a great market for online stores.

You know, the luxury tax in the United States is generally 30%~50%, and the monopoly tax on tobacco and alcohol is as high as 60%, and this tax is not required to be paid in the reserved area. As for the tax in the reserved area, it is regulated by itself, and Very, very low, and you can make money if you get it right.

Billy still couldn't understand, "Will it be troublesome?".

"It's not easy, such as the website, such as the payment method, such as express delivery, etc., but it can make money if it is done well." Jiang Hao said.

"Is it illegal to do this, you know, those people in the government have been watching us all the time?" Billy asked.

"No, I have already checked the federal laws. This method of operation is completely legal, and the tax bureau has nothing to do with us." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

You must know that in the United States, the best is not the CIA and FBI, but the IRS, the US Internal Revenue Service.

Americans have a proverb: "In this world, only death and tax payment are eternal." The IRS has huge and pervasive powers, and they have rights that the FBI does not have. They are known as "the most feared government department in the United States." In the United States, breaking the law does not necessarily mean going to jail, but not paying taxes will definitely lead to jail.

"Wouldn't it cost a lot of money?" Billy asked.

"Not a lot. I'm afraid the initial investment will not be less than 3 million US dollars." Jiang Hao said.

A shocked expression appeared on Billy's face, "3 million, not everyone can afford this amount of money, it seems that this business can't be done."

Jiang Hao smiled, "Uncle, I will find a way to raise money."

Billy took a deep look at his nephew, and suddenly felt that he had matured a lot, perhaps because of the awakening of his blood. After the awakening of his blood, a werewolf would quickly mature and become a young man of about 25 years old. His greater feeling is that he is mature in heart, he seems to know what he wants to do, and he is very confident in what he is doing.

"Well, Jon, I can feel that you are very confident. I support you. As long as uncle can do it, I will do my best to help you." Billy said.

"Thank you uncle."

Jiang Hao thanked, and then continued, "I still have some ideas, but these can be done slowly. Now the land in the reserved area is very scattered, and most of them are cultivated by themselves. The method is very backward. I think it can be done. For a large farm and ranch, we need someone to run it, of course, everyone is a shareholder, in addition to profit sharing, the farm will also recruit some people to work on the farm, so that wages can be earned.”

"Big farm? Make money?" Billy asked.

"Plant common crops, and then cash crops can be planted. Although our place is humid, there are still cash crops that can be planted. I have checked that some tobacco likes our humid environment here. When it is planted, we can make it into cigars. If If you build a brand, you can earn more, and the most important thing is that you can have many people working." Jiang Hao said.

"There is another one, which is to turn this place into a tourist area. Maybe tourists from the United States don't like to come to such a remote place like us, but tourists from some countries may like it." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

"Where are the tourists?"

"China, the Chinese are getting richer and richer. More importantly, they have a large population, which is several times the population of the United States. Many of them like to travel and visit the United States. As long as we do well, open a There should be no problem with tourist routes, such as building gardens like hotels in villages, advocating eco-tourism, raising dozens of horses, and tourists can ride as they please.”

"Appreciate Indian dances, songs, and music, learn about Indian history, and at the same time spread our culture."

"Building a shooting range, guns are completely banned in China. Many people have never touched a gun in their lives. They come here to shoot casually. Of course, they have to pay for the bullets."

"Or take them into the forest to hunt, there are so many animals in the forest, wild boars and deer are in herds, hunting a wild boar for $1,000 and a deer for $2,000, I think they will be happy to pay."

"You still need to charge for hunting the prey? A wild boar costs 1,000 dollars?" Billy looked at Jiang Hao in surprise, thinking that he had made a mistake.

"Uncle, you know that you can't hunt casually in other parts of the United States, but we can in the reserved area. This is the uniqueness. What do you say, for those prey, we can help guests make delicious food for free, hold bonfire parties and so on." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

After listening to Jiang Hao's words, Billy pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Jon, would you like to become the patriarch of the Quileutes, I mean now?"

Now Jiang Hao is the wolf king and heir to the next generation of the patriarch. When Billy dies or can no longer work, the patriarch will naturally fall on Jiang Hao. Billy originally wanted to work for a few years, but after listening to Jiang Hao After thinking about it, he suddenly came up with the idea of ​​giving him the position of patriarch. Perhaps this is the best for Quilut.

Jiang Hao was slightly surprised, "You want to pass on the position of patriarch to me now?"

"My legs are inconvenient, so I can only stay at home most of the time. I am also old and have never touched many things. For example, the online trafficking you mentioned just now, I think your idea is very good. You become the patriarch After that, you can do things better." Billy said.

Jiang Hao pondered for a while, but Billy didn't urge him. After a few minutes, Jiang Hao raised his head and said, "Okay uncle, I am willing to be the patriarch of the Quileutes."
