Golden Fishery
11. Apply for a bank card
The price of a piece of art is directly related to the auction house. The bigger and more qualified the auction house, the more able it is to attract rich customers.
Qin Shiou believes that if this Perseus and Medusa statue is handed over to Sotheby's or Sotheby's, he will get at least 10% more money than Ritchie's.
However, he still decided to hand over the auction rights of the statue to Ricci Auctions. First, Xiao Bu felt very good to him; secondly, Ricci Auctions was willing to reduce the auction fee by 7%; thirdly, Ricci Auctions The auction house is willing to pay him a deposit of 10 million in advance, which is the most important.
Now Qin Shiou is so short of money that he can't even pay the will tax.
After Qin Shiou agreed, Xiaobu breathed a sigh of relief. He unbuttoned his suit and asked, "Dude, let's go to the bank to transfer money now and sign a contract by the way, how about?"
Ricci auction house is very interested in this bronze statue. Now they are entering the field of art auctions. They urgently need a vanguard to attract customers for them. There is no doubt that the statues of Perseus and Medusa are perfect for this. important task.
After the two sides negotiated, Xiao Blake directly took out the auction contract, and at the same time invited Qin Shiou to sit in his Mercedes-Benz S600 and go to the town bank to transfer money.
Qin Shiou was the shopkeeper, and Auerbach took a look at the contract and said, "Robert, this can't be done. My boss is Chinese, so our contract not only needs to be in English, but also in Chinese."
Canada is an immigrant country with a world-renowned multicultural, Chinese, Indian, European, Asian and African populations are very large, so the language used is also a bit confusing, of which the largest number of people use English, so English is the official language of the country.
Little Black said annoyed: "Damn, it's our omission, please don't worry, I'll call the head of our legal department. I believe that when we arrived at the bank, the Chinese version of the contract was already waiting for us there."
Qin Shiou gave Auerbach a thumbs up, and the latter smiled indifferently and said, "Boss, what you need to choose now is a storage bank. Which bank do you plan to store your money in?"
Although Farewell Town is not big, there are many banks. There are actually four branches, namely Royal Bank of Canada, Scotiabank, Bank of Montreal, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
Qin Shiou chose Bank of Montreal on the recommendation of Auerbach.
This is the oldest bank in Canada. It has a history of nearly two hundred years. It issued the first banknote in Canada. This bank is also one of the top ten banks in North America and is very reliable.
When applying for the bank card, Qin Shiou took out his Chinese ID card and passport. Seeing this, the bank manager Tai Lun asked, "Why, don't you immigrate?"
Little Black also looked suspicious and said, "Qin, my buddy, I thought you had already gone through the immigration procedures, so it would be more troublesome."
Qin Shiou asked, "what's the matter?"
Auerbach explained: "The auction item is subject to tax. If you auction this statue as a Chinese, then you will end up paying taxes to the government of Newfoundland, the government of Canada, and the government of your country. The money you get Probably less than half."
"I suggest you immigrate to Newfoundland, son, that will save you a lot of money, not only will you not have to pay taxes to your national government, but the Canadian government will be able to collect taxes," suggested Tyron.
Changing nationality is a big deal.
However, Qin Shiou didn't dislike this very much. He was neither a party member nor a civil servant, but a commoner at the bottom of the society. It was normal to go wherever he had a good life.
After hesitating for a while, Qin Shiou instructed Auerbach to help him go through the procedures for transferring his nationality. He was still a little worried and asked, "I heard that Canada has strict immigration management now, and almost only accepts the introduction of technical talents. Are you eligible?"
Auerbach smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, farewell to the town government and can't wait to beg you to immigrate. There are too few people willing to take over these fishing grounds. If you take over the Daqin fishing grounds, it will not only bring taxes to the government, but also provide employment. job, the government certainly welcomes your immigration.”
Qin Shiou asked about the procedures required for immigration, and Auerbach said: "You don't need to worry about these, I have prepared them for you. It's OK if you sign a few documents in the afternoon."
After hearing this, Qin Shiou was at a loss. When did he prepare for the immigration procedures?
Auerbach took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, smiled like an old fox, and said, "I knew that you would eventually immigrate, so when you applied for your passport before, these procedures were also handled smoothly."
Qin Shiou was speechless: Uncle, can you tell fortunes?
After staying for about half an hour, a temporary bank card was issued. It was a golden Bank of Montreal savings card. After the nationality transfer procedure was completed, he needed to come back and change the card to a savings and credit card.
After getting the card, Qin Shiou went to the ATM to check, and a series of '0's on the screen almost blinded him.
Everything is like a dream. It seems that a second ago he was still worried about the monthly rent of 1,000 yuan in the rental house in Haidao City, but this second he has a big fishing farm and a bank card of ten million Canadian dollars. .
"Life is like a dream, this is the unknownness of life." Qin Shiou couldn't help sighing looking at the gold card in his hand.
He first transferred 100,000 yuan to his parents, but he didn't dare to transfer too much, for fear of scaring them both. He said the 100,000 yuan was the company's settling fee, and he might have to work abroad in the future.
Strictly speaking, this ten million is a loan given to him by Ricci Auctions, because the artwork has not been auctioned, so he does not need to pay tax yet.
After the transfer, Qin Shiou happily signed the contract, and at noon he invited Little Blake and others to dinner at Father Hickson's restaurant.
Auerbach introduced to Little Black and others: "This is the most historic restaurant in town. The owner and chef have passed it down from generation to generation, representing our farewell to the island's purest seafood flavor."
Obviously, these old guys are very familiar. After seeing Auerbach, Hickson came up and gave him a bear hug, and then asked happily: "What do you want today? Hi, dear Xiao Qin, see you You are so happy."
After saying hello, Papa Hickson began to show his specialty, and the appetizers and wines such as poutine, coffee crumble jelly, and cheese green salad were brought up.
Although it is only an appetizer, each dish is made with ingenuity. The fries are golden brown and the gravy is rich. This dish has a strong aroma before it is eaten.
As for the coffee crumble jelly, Dad Hickson will cut the coffee jelly into pieces, put it in a glass, and then decorate the jelly with mint leaves. It looks very good, and it tastes even better.
Little Blake drank coffee jelly and ate chips and salad, admiring: "It tastes great, guys, I must say, it's God-given for us!"
At this time, the wine was also brought up, and Auerbach held up the bright red wine and said to Father Hickson: "To the God who gave us food, to Hickson who helped God cook the kitchen, and to Qin who was generous and generous!"
A group of people raised their glasses one after another, and the old man with braids couldn't close his mouth.
After eating the appetizers, you can enjoy the main meal, such as geoduck sashimi, Canadian fried chicken nuggets, smoked salmon with secret sauce, Lake Brommer duck, blueberry balls, etc. of joy.
What Qin Shiou likes most is the ice wine made by Father Hickson himself. This wine can be called Canada's national wine, and because Newfoundland is closer to the north, this kind of wine is more popular.
Seeing Qin Shiou raising his glass frequently, Father Hickson was very happy, and introduced his treasure: "This is a secret wine passed down from generation to generation by the Hickson family, and the grapes should always be left on the vines to let them mature. , and then wait until the cold wave comes and the temperature drops to minus eight degrees before picking. At this time, the water in the fruit is frozen, and the sugar content is the highest. Wait until this time to squeeze the juice and brew it, and the taste is definitely the most beautiful. !"
Ice wine has a lower alcohol concentration and is not as strong as the common white wine in the cold zone, but because it is also from white wine, it has the unique floral aroma of white wine. Moreover, the main ingredient of this wine is grape juice, which has its own smell of ripe fruit.
Qin Shiou was a good drinker, and Auerbach was very happy to see him drinking and said, "You are like Lao Qin, he also likes to drink Hickson's ice wine the most, and he likes desserts, blue cheese, Chinese-style suckling pigs. The candied barbecue such as roasted meat, roasted meat, and money chicken, next time, let the old guy like Hickson cook it for you."
Father Hickson scratched his head. He is in a bad situation at the restaurant now, and things like suckling pigs and chickens that are not usually eaten by people are not in stock.
The guests and guests enjoyed the meal. After the meal, Little Black was going to go back to Toronto to prepare for the upcoming auction, while Qin Shiou went back to sleep.
After sleeping and waking up, Qin Shiou began to build a fishing ground with great ambitions. Now he has 10 million Canadian dollars in his hands, and his waist suddenly stiffened.
However, the top priority is to bring the fishing grounds online. For young people in the 21st century, not having the Internet is too painful.
Qin Shiou took a look. The most famous telecommunications companies in Canada are ROGER, TTC, TELUS, FIDO and KOODO.
Among them, ROGERS is equivalent to China's mobile, the company has the strongest strength, the most users, the most extensive resources, but also the highest charges; TELUS is the same as China's Unicom, the signal is slightly worse, but the service price is relatively low, aimed at ordinary people; FIDO Compared with KOODO, the strength is relatively weak, but they often do activities, so they have won many customers.
Qin Shiou is not short of money now. He went directly to the ROGERS business hall in the town to do optical fiber for a year, and bought an all-in-one Apple computer by the way.
He bought an Apple iMac-MF886CH/A computer. This computer sold for nearly 20,000 yuan in China, but it was less than 2,500 Canadian dollars in Farewell Town, which is more than 10,000 yuan in RMB. The reason Newfoundland pays state taxes, otherwise it's lower.
It has to be said that in a capitalist country, as long as you have money, it is easy to do things. After Qin Shiou paid the money in the ROGERS business hall, an engineer took the workers to his fishery to lay the optical fiber line.
The price of this fiber optic line is not low, it is 500 yuan more expensive than an Apple computer, because the fishing ground has been abandoned for more than ten years, there are only ordinary broadband network lines, no fiber optic lines, and the line transformation in the town has not extended so far. Go to the fish farm.
The engineer of the Apple store also installed the Chinese version of the Windows 7 system according to Qin Shiou's request. Originally, the engineer wanted to install W8, but Qin Shiou had enough of this damn system when he was in China, so he insisted on installing W7.
