Golden Fishery

Immediately, more than half of the people present looked at Qin Shiou with strange eyes. A few of them didn't understand English very well, and Hamley spoke very fast, so he didn't understand, so he asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, why do you all have such expressions?" ?”

"This young man is here to pay taxes, and he has to pay more than 10 million yuan in taxes!"

"Oh shit, it's more than 10 million yuan. The tax in Canada is really bad. With this money, you can buy two houses in the third ring road of Kyoto."

"Are you kidding me, more than 10 million Canadian dollars! You can also buy two villas!"

Qin Shiou secretly screamed, if he was in China before, if he could pay 10 million in taxes, he would like everyone around him to know.

But now that he has come to Farewell Island, one is because the low-key and simple folk customs of the town smoothed out the rough edges in his emotions; In love with understated luxury.

Suddenly, he became the focus of everyone, so he was naturally uncomfortable, so he smiled and didn't answer Hamlei's words.

The corner of Yan Donglei's mouth also twitched, and now he asked directly: "Mr. Qin, are you interested in politics? Do you know anything about the Liberal Party?"

Qin Shiou smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm sorry, President Yan, I just came to Canada for a quarter, and I stayed in a small place like Farewell Town, so I don't know much about politics."

He gave Auerbach a wink, saying that his father would always be his close-fitting little padded jacket, and then quietly turned around and entered the tax office next to the town government.

Afterwards, Auerbach came out, and in about a minute or two, a staff member came out from the tax office. Said: "Do you have any taxpayers? Please hurry up, because there is something wrong with our accounting machine, and it will be sent to St. John's to be repaired later."

Taking this opportunity, Qin Shiou bid farewell and left, went to the tax office and reported the tax bill and social security number.

Small and medium business owners like him. Paying taxes is not as simple as paying a tax for ordinary people. After signing, you need to fill out several documents and reports, and he doesn't have a driver's license yet, which makes it even more troublesome.

After working for half an hour, Qin Shiou got the tax payment certificate. The capitalist society also has its advantages, that is, it is a paradise for the rich, because Qin Shiou paid more than 10 million in taxes, and his social security level has been improved, which is more useful than the domestic government giving you a medal engraved with "big taxpayer".

His current social security level. It is enough to guarantee that when he is involved in civil or criminal disputes in the future, the local police station will have to obtain a search warrant issued by the provincial court to search his home.

It can also guarantee that he will go to the National Hospital to see a doctor first.

Capitalist society is so unfair. In China, connections and positions determine everything. In Canada, money determines everything.

As long as you have enough money, Americans are willing to worship you even if you are a dog. This is what Max said to the protagonist Noodles in the famous movie "Once Upon a Time in America". Hit the nail on the head!

Not long after he swiped the card to pay taxes, Qin Shiou's phone rang. It was Alan Brandon, the president of the Bank of Montreal, Newfoundland. The voice was full of enthusiasm: "Qin, your account manager told me that your bank card just disappeared for more than 10 million yuan. If I guessed correctly, you have paid taxes, right?"

For Allen Brandon, Qin Shiou still has a good impression. After all, I helped him get a gun license, and said, "Yes. I just paid my taxes."

There's nothing wrong with Brandon calling, it's still about money. After going around One Datong and chatting about family, fishing grounds, basketball, horse racing and wine, I got back to business: "If you want to reimburse your account in the next quarter, I suggest you try the service of our bank. We have a dedicated tax manager. They are talents poached from the four major tax offices with high salaries."

Qin Shiou agreed that he would not have any high income this quarter, and it would be good to sell favors to Brandon.

As a result, reality always changes more than planned.

He was still calculating how much money he had left on him when his phone rang again, this time it was Billy Stormer, a diver from Odyssey Ocean Exploration Company: "Qin, I've arrived in St. Johns, you are saying goodbye to the town. Is that so? Is it convenient for me to go there now?"

Qin Shiou secretly thought that you all went to St. Johns, can I say I am inconvenient? I told him the address and said that I would wait for him at the pier.

Billy seemed to know that Qin Shiou didn't welcome him very much, so he threw out a topic straight to the point: "I'm here this time with a plan to help you deal with 100 tons of silver. If there is no problem, the silver can be exchanged for at most one month In cash!"

Damn it, Qin Shiou hung up the phone and cursed in his heart, and then he remembered that his income this quarter is not relatively small, but may be a lot! At that time, I will ask the Bank of Montreal to help with tax avoidance. I don't know if it is reliable or not.

There was still some time before Billy arrived at Farewell Island. Qin Shiou first went back to the villa to put down the receipt, and then told Winnie about the situation, saying that a friend was coming to visit.

After hearing what he said, Winnie said, "Billy Stormer? I know this guy, he's very famous in Miami, he's, uh." She pursed her lips and smiled, and continued, "It's a very famous Huahua Young master, is also a very good diving expert."

As soon as he heard that this kid was a playboy, Qin Shiou immediately separated the relationship and explained: "I don't know him. He came this time to ask me for a notebook. I once got a notebook in the sea. It was a Dutch ship Deng. The captain's notes of the Shiyu seem to be related to some American-Dutch case."

Winnie was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It seems that there is a good show. I don't know if you have noticed. The relationship between Odyssey Ocean Exploration Company and the Dutch government is very tense now. I am in a hurry to find you because I plan to cause some trouble for the Dutch government."

Qin Shiou really didn't know what was going on here, so he asked, "What do you mean? What kind of tricks can a salvage shipwreck have with the Dutch government? Did they salvage something and the Dutch government snatched it away?"

Winnie smiled and said, "You're very sensitive, yes, that's what happened. But what was robbed of Oside was not ordinary. It was all the treasures on the 'Sunken Mercedes', with a total value of more than 1 billion US dollars! Above The gold and silver coins alone weighed 49,000 pounds!"

"Your mother exploded!" Qin Shiou didn't care about the girl he loved standing in front of him, so he said a new type of national curse.

Winnie saw that Qin Shiou really didn't understand the relevant matters, so she introduced him: "This matter is very famous in the United States, and it caused a lot of trouble. Farewell Island is a paradise, so it may not be very sensitive to this kind of information."

"The warship Mercedes was a Spanish frigate, which sailed from Montevideo, Uruguay, on October 5, 1804, escorting 58.09 million gold pesos, 900,000 silver pesos and approximately 2,000 Copper and tin ingots to Port Gardez."

"On the day before arriving at the port of Gardez, the Mercedes was attacked by the British navy, which was battling France for supremacy in Europe, and sank minutes after the naval battle. Since no one knew exactly where it sank, the ship's wealth has been sinking to the bottom of the ocean."

"Five years ago, Odyssey Marine Exploration launched an ocean salvage program code-named 'Black Swan'. They found the Mercedes and used advanced remote-controlled mini-submarines to salvage about half a million from the sunken ship. Gold and silver coins, then shipped to Florida."

"After the Spanish government learned of the news, it dispatched the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Law, the embassy in the United States, and the national archaeological research department to join forces, and hired Skadden Law Firm to go to court with Odyssey Ocean Exploration Company. , and finally won the lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court, and at the beginning of the year, two Hercules transport planes were used to transport these treasures back to China."

"There is no doubt that Ossaid is not willing to be reconciled. This is a billion-dollar wealth! They salvaged it so hard, but the Netherlands snatched it away. If they say they don't want revenge, it must be a lie of."

"So, I said that this diary of yours may become the fuse of a big dispute."

Winnie explained the matter in succinct words, and at the same time expressed her opinion cryptically: Try not to get involved in the disputes between these big groups and the exile government, it will not do him any good.

Qin Shiou listened with gusto, rubbed his chin, but thought of something else: This matter seems to have nothing to do with him, but if he makes good use of it, it seems that he can take advantage of it. (to be continued)
