Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

While Zhang San is still busy with women, the community project in North America is progressing quite smoothly. Perhaps because the community is not in the city center but far away, no one has approached him yet.

However, there are some things that cannot be avoided, and that is environmental protection.

"Who is in charge here? I am an investigator from the Greater Los Angeles Environmental Protection Association, here to investigate whether you are operating according to regulations."

Environmental protection is notoriously difficult. But the people here are no pushovers; they immediately produced relevant documents and evidence to prove they had followed all regulations.

As for trying to curry favor, ingratiate yourself, and bribe them like people do in mainland China, it's useless. The only way is to produce documents and let them know that everything was done according to the prescribed procedures, and that the original plants have already been transplanted.

The investigators still went around and checked, but left unhappily after finding no problems.

In the following period, people from various departments came from time to time to investigate these projects. As for their purpose? Naturally, it was to make things difficult for them.

In their view, Stephen Realty, which suddenly appeared, was too unruly. Is that all?

They started taking turns coming to their door to find fault, their goal being to identify problems and then force them to... contribute to environmental protection and provide quality homes to homebuyers.

Of course, the IRS was also involved, and the tax authorities came knocking on the door; they were there to audit the taxes.

However, unlike the other visitors, they just came to take a look and didn't say anything.

That's normal. It's not tax season yet. The company was only established this year, so it's not time for them to file taxes yet. Next year will be the time for them to actually do it.

"It's not normal for so many people to come so suddenly."

The executives who came from Hong Kong sensed that something was unusual.

Another Hong Kong executive nodded in agreement: "Should we report to Mr. Zhang?"

"Report it over. After all, we're outsiders, while Zhang Sheng is the local bigwig."

When Zhang San received the news, he knew what had happened.

In Europe and America, many things that are impossible on the mainland are normal here, just under different names, such as environmental protection funds and various charitable foundations. Many people don't know where the donations to these foundations end up, let alone who they end up with.

Zhang San runs a physical business, so naturally he wouldn't sell inferior goods as superior ones, nor would he evade taxes.

However, these people naturally need to visit a few key figures.

The first community will be launched before Christmas this year.

Since last year, their income has been rising, and interest rates are very low, so they are willing to spend money.

Don't be fooled by the Westerners' tendency to spend tomorrow's money today; just like in mainland China, there are still many people who live paycheck to paycheck, and very few can afford to buy a house by the age of 40. They don't have the financial support of six family members, so they have to rely on themselves.

Not all European and American countries are high-welfare countries; North America is an example, otherwise, people there wouldn't be working multiple jobs.

Moreover, their pressure is no less than that on the mainland; their college loans are a fascinating example.

North America promotes a joyful education, or holistic education, which doesn't teach much about exam-oriented subjects. The reason why good students are popular but rejected is mainly because they don't fit in. We're all playing, and you're the only one studying. How can you not be ostracized?

The reason for promoting "happy education" is to block those people's upward mobility. If they really manage to get out of the mire and enter a non-public university, then another test will come.

In North America, apart from a few public universities that can be compared to private universities, it is very difficult to get in.

Private universities require not only academic performance but also letters of recommendation. These letters can be from graduates of the university, donors, or even prominent figures.

Finally, student loans are the best option when there are no scholarships available, and they can also be used to offset taxes in the future.

The Australian president only finished paying off his student loans when he left office, possibly due to tax deductions, but this also reflects the high principal amount of the loans.

How could these recent college graduates possibly afford to buy a house?

Moreover, university tuition fees will increase, and the principal of the loan will increase accordingly.

Later, more and more female college students started dating sugar daddies. They sought an easier life and, of course, a more luxurious lifestyle, and thus, they turned to sugar daddies.

Unlike the mainland, in North America, as long as you promote a lavish lifestyle, the daily lives of the rich, and those exquisite luxury goods, you can entice them to spend money.

In mainland China, doing things this way would definitely not work.

This is related to Eastern and Western cultures, especially in the context of male-female relationships.

Western relationships between men and women are very free; when they love, they are passionate and intense, and when they no longer love each other, they break up decisively.

In mainland China... men tend to give more because their ways of expressing themselves are simpler. This created fertile ground for the emergence of gold diggers, and the later appearance of house washing was simply a new gray industry.

Once capital discovered the secrets between men and women in mainland China, the "simp economy" emerged.

For example, the founder of Taobao has said that it relies on women's consumption, but where does the money come from?

In their eyes, the order of consumption is: good people are the highest, followed by children, the elderly, dogs, and men.

This is probably why men are worse off than dogs; it's quite an apt description. Men are the least likely group to spend money.

In the future, Zhang San will also introduce the idea that mothers-in-law are driving up housing prices, and that you need a house to get married...

"If I can be a good mortgage slave, I can date more girls."

This definitely wasn't said by Zhang San. How could he tell the truth? How could he be so superficial?

He not only wanted to establish a cultural troupe, but also to run a company.

Only in this way can he also indulge in... the silky... no, it's the charm of art, and then gain a deeper understanding and grasp it.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, but having too many choices naturally makes him conflicted.

With so many choices, it's natural to feel conflicted, and the main problem is that my body can't handle it.

If he wanted to improve his health, he should focus on his career. He remembered that in the second half of 2007, housing prices across the country surged by 50%, so it seemed that real estate development should be maximized.

He contributed to the real estate boom, adding fuel to the fire. But he won't leave any unfinished projects; he's not short of money, nor does he intend to incur debt or cause trouble. Naturally, he'll complete the construction and sell it.

Real estate development companies also face significant risks. If housing prices continue to rise, things will be fine, but if they don't, the projects may become unfinished.

Zhang San considers not leaving projects unfinished as the bottom line for business reputation; such a person is rare indeed.

Developing real estate requires land, just like making bread requires flour.

What are we waiting for? Of course, we should buy more land. How else can we develop until 2017?

Thus, a guy with so much money he was practically burning his hands started to enter the real estate industry.
