Chapter 390

In February 1997, Henry's company basically moved to Williams center.

Williams center and the surrounding areas began to flourish, and formed a small city - Williams city!

The division of administration in the United States is totally different from that in China. The president can't control the governor, and the governor can't control the mayor. They are elected by the people in their respective constituencies. They are only responsible to their voters, and they don't have to be responsible to any other bureaucrats. Take California as an example. California is divided into several blocks, each of which is a county under the jurisdiction of the state, But there's no governor. It's all state jurisdiction. However, the city is different. As long as there is a piece of land in the state where the people vote to establish a city, they can be independent from the jurisdiction of the state, elect their own mayor, and establish their own municipal government. However, there is a premise that the federal government and the state still have to pay taxes. The federal government has a joint national tax bureau, and the state also has a local tax bureau, It's federal and state.

The federal government is only responsible for the military, foreign affairs, homeland security, immigration and other things, while the states are responsible for the police, fire and other things. The United States is a democratic country, and the officials are flattering the common people. What the common people have, the officials all help.

Charles Tony, the head of the think tank, suggested that Henry set up a city government to cultivate his own political talents. Although Henry came to the United States for so long, he did not pay attention to these. Unexpectedly, the American people can decide to set up a city and set up their own municipal government!

Shit, there's something so cool. I'm sure I'll do it!

Because most of the people in Williams center are Henry's employees, Henry ordered us to set up a city!!!

So, everyone voted for it, and the federal and California governments could only agree. Williams city became Williams City, including Williams center and surrounding areas.

Then Henry was elected mayor.

Big cities, such as New York, Los Angeles and so on, need full-time mayors. However, for some small and medium-sized cities, mayors in the United States are not full-time. They don't have to sit on duty every day. It's good to come every other day. A week's working time is about ten hours, a large part of which is used to respond to the public's response. It can be said that the mayor of the United States is a super leisure official position, more leisure than Chinese civil servants!

Henry thought about it. He'd better be the first to learn how to manage a city.

As the saying goes, if you don't sweep a room, why sweep the world? In the same way, if a city can't manage the universe, how can it manage the universe? Anyway, it only takes more than ten hours a week. In fact, it's the same as the management company

On February 15th, Henry officially became mayor of Williams.

As soon as the news came out, it was explosive news, which immediately made the front page headlines of major newspapers.

New York Times: "the richest mayor in the world!"

Los Angeles: "Williams will be the richest city in the world!"

USA Today: "after Henry Williams became mayor of Williams, according to the questionnaire, nearly 80% of Americans want to live in Williams!"

ABC News Channel: "since its establishment, Williams center has become a symbolic building complex in the United States! Here are the world's tallest building, Williams experimental tower, the world's most sci-fi building, fenfengzhongcandlelight building, and so on. Most of the companies working here are top 500 companies, and they have become the second "Manhattan" in the United States. No, he's going to replace Manhattan as the economic and cultural center of the United States! "

After the news spread all over the world, for a moment, the number of residents in Williams City soared. However, housing prices are extremely high, especially Williams center, which is comparable to downtown Manhattan. Most of the people who can come here are rich. Global land has built 500 villas and more than 150 large apartments in the surrounding area of Williams center, and now it's making a lot of money. Although there are more than 500 villas, Henry's staff alone bought more than 300 villas. They are rich, willful and spend freely.

In this new city, there are Williams supermarket, Williams department store, Williams Hotel, Galaxy paradise and other industries. However, Henry can't do it all. No, he has to leave some soup for others when he eats his own meat. So, he has settled in thousands of well-known companies. In particular, venture capital companies, all of which have some strength have opened offices in Williams center!

Land developers are making a lot of money, and the rate of return is at least ten times higher!

After Henry was elected mayor, he is setting up a perfect municipal government, including the Municipal Council, municipal government secretary, fire department, police station, library, Municipal Planning Bureau, leisure and entertainment department, public works department and other departments. Fortunately, Henry has a strong think tank, which can be entrusted to them to do specific things and make their own decisions.

City safety is Henry's top priority. Therefore, Henry devoted most of his energy to the fire department and police station, equipped with the best equipment, from helicopters, police cars to weapons, bulletproof suits, etc. Henry also plans to install surveillance cameras in the whole city. Anyone who commits a crime can't escape! It will be a paradise of harmony, far away from crime.

In addition to urban safety, education was also very important to Henry. He had built a university not far from Williams center. Originally, Henry planned to name this university Williams College. Who knows, there is already a university in the United States called "Williams College", and it is also the first college of Arts and Sciences in American universities!

Williams College represents the most proud essence of education in the United States - small scale, high quality, focusing on undergraduate, advocating general and humanistic education. Its reputation in the United States is no less than that of Yale, Harvard and other famous schools, and it is more favored by the upper class families in the United States. It can be regarded as an aristocratic school with a high level of education.

The purpose of liberal arts college is free education, which does not cultivate specific talents, but cultivate high-quality talents, pay attention to comprehensive education, emphasize the exploration of students' thinking potential, and realize the whole person development in the real sense. Only about 3% of college students in the United States graduate from arts and science schools, but 19% of American presidents are trained《 Forbes magazine's list of the richest CEOs in the United States has 8% of CEOs graduated from arts and science schools.

The College of Arts and Sciences seems to be very powerful, and Remus college is still the first college of Arts and Sciences. Henry can't help but rise the idea of acquiring it. It happens that Williams College is a private college!
