Chapter 7 Booking a Car

I bought some coffee, beer, cola, vegetables, fruits and candies. When I was about to check out, Zhang Cheng was about to swipe the card and found that this thing cost more than 2,900 yuan. It was worth 20,000 yuan per shopping in China.

Jenny said: "The main thing is beef steak. The cheap optional grades you choose are also more than ten dollars a pound. In fact, fattening is just feeding corn oats for a few months. It doesn't matter, everyone is eating them."

"Forget it, I feel a little uncomfortable when I hear fattening. Check out."

Put the things you bought into the Chevrolet trunk, Zhang Cheng got into the car and asked, "Is there any benefit to expensive beef?"

"Some, it is more nutritious and easier to absorb, has lower fat and cholesterol, and has a better taste."

Zhang Cheng: "When you say that, I feel much more comfortable."

The funds from Zhang Cheng sold jade were equivalent to about 12.4 million US dollars, and the advance wages of workers by investing in immigration sponsorship schools cost about 9.2 million US dollars. Zhang Cheng and his parents took about half of the remaining money, and Zhang Cheng held 1.5 million US dollars in his hand. This money was not all left to Zhang Cheng for pocket money, but Zhang Cheng’s expenses for college and the maintenance costs of the manor in recent years.

The vineyard cannot bring profits within at least two years, so a certain amount of working capital is essential. In fact, smart people can use the vineyard as collateral - but I have also seen that Beijingers in New York know that the person was actually killed by the bank (the bank always lends you when you are not short of money, and urges you to repay when you are in urgent need of money) He will never let Zhang Cheng mortgage the vineyard loan.

After passing by a row of old buildings covered with green trees, Jenny said to Zhang Cheng: "That is the University of Nevada Reno campus you will go to in a few months. But now, do you want to go to the auto show?"

"OK." Although Zhang Cheng had greater expectations for the gun shop, the auto show was also good. When he was in school in September, he probably had to drive a car. Now he can look forward to the car model - why do you need to live in the school in just one hour?

"Wow. There are so many people here." When Zhang Cheng arrived at the auto show, he found that there were not many Reno people on the street who came here - in fact, most of them were tourists (as a casino). And it seemed that one-third of the thousands of people in the auto show were Asians, and the proportion was quite high, and he had a slight domestic feeling.

"Oh...oh...oh" Looking at the cars on the booth again, Zhang Cheng couldn't move his eyes away - each car was equipped with one or three models wearing extremely cool clothes, each of which was full of foreign girls with bulging fronts and swaying kisses to tourists and cameramen and poses various POSS.

After looking at several booths, Zhang Cheng actually forgot what model was on it - is this selling girls or cars?

While walking around the auto show, a man in front made way out of the position and suddenly a gem-blue convertible sports car entered Zhang Cheng's eyes. The two models next to the car were also considered top stunners here, but they did not steal the limelight of this blue luxury sports car.

"So beautiful." Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say involuntarily when he looked at the sports car.

"Of course." Jenny also looked at the sports car and said, "The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 soft top super sports car luxury version. The maximum speed is 431 kilometers per hour. It is the fastest mass-produced car in the world and one of the most expensive sports cars sold. It costs 2.3 million US dollars, and a tire is my 20-week salary, BOSS."

Zhang Cheng said excitedly: "It's all, I want to buy it."

"BOSS, aren't you telling it seriously?"

"Really, I want to buy it. It costs 38 million yuan to buy one in China, which costs more than 6 million US dollars. It only costs more than 2 million yuan here. Why not buy it?" Zhang Cheng then remembered that Carri's Mani was not enough, "Take me to the largest jewelry store in the city first."

"As you wish.BOSS."

Leaving the auto show, Jenny took Zhang Cheng half a street to a jewelry store that seemed to be a small store: "The largest jewelry store in Reno is here."

When he arrived at the store, the decoration inside was quite luxurious. There were only a few women who bought jewelry during this period. Zhang Cheng found a free clerk: "I want to meet the store manager, I have a business to do with him."

Then, an old white man who looked fifty or sixty years old met Zhang Cheng, who took out a diamond rough stone about the size of a pigeon egg from the Qiankun bag connected to his pocket: "I want to sell this diamond, well, the rough stone."

"I want to take a look at the clarity, color, and weight first." The boss said as he took out a set of professional instruments from the table.

"The clarity is great, no impurities, top-notch. Colorless, weight, wow...191.3 carats. I think I should give him a name."

"If you buy it, you can do whatever you want."

After looking at it for a while, the boss rubbed his eyes and said, "Although more than 100 carats of diamonds are treasures, there will always be a price. What do you think?"

"I think so too. If the price is right, I will sell it."

The boss asked tentatively: "Do you see 30 million US dollars?"

When Zhang Cheng heard the quotation, he didn't think there was anything else. After all, there were more than one diamond in the bag. The reason for selling this one was that it was relatively small and had no color - Zhang Cheng personally also liked colored diamonds.

But after hearing the boss's offer, Jenny went up angrily and picked up the diamond from the table and handed it to Zhang Cheng, saying to the boss: "It's impossible. A diamond rough stone that is smaller than this can be photographed for more than 40 to 50 million US dollars."

The boss quickly explained: "You said that's an auction, and the auction price is irrational and cannot be used as a guided price within the industry."

Jenny: "But 30 million US dollars is too low."

"We are also very risky in this industry. When cutting, the rough diamond may turn into countless small diamond crystals. And after cutting, only one-third of the diamond is left."

Jenny insisted: "That's your business, 30 million is too low."

The boss hugged his head in pain: "Oh, I really want to go back to the 100 million US dollars era of Taylor Burton."

Jenny was unmoved: "The US dollar was valuable at that time, but now the US dollar has depreciated."

"Okay, little girl. I admit that you can do business more than me, a Jew." The Jewish boss thought about the luxury goods and said after taxing: "At most, 36 million US dollars, no more. I also need profit."

Seeing the Jewish boss give in, Jenny looked at Zhang Cheng, who pushed out the diamond rough on the table: "Trade."

After the Jewish elderly man signed the check, Jenny called to confirm: "No problem."

The transaction was completed in this way, and the boss said before leaving: "Remember to file taxes."

Nani, you have to pay taxes. You didn’t pay for selling jade in China. (You immigrate before the tax bureau came to you, and you dare to say it)

Zhang Cheng asked Jenny: "How much tax does this have to be paid?"

Jenny: "At least twenty percent, I think you should hire an accountant to file taxes for you, so that it will be less."

"So many, someone who knows will introduce me to one."

"Don't worry, the University of Nevada has a group of accountant reserve personnel graduated every year. When I go back and make a few calls to see who my friends have already passed the accountant qualification."

Back at the auto show, Zhang Cheng, who wanted to buy Bugatti and went home, was disappointed again. There was no car here and he needed to wait for the company to transfer the goods. He would have to wait for about two months. Zhang Cheng, who had to wait for so long, was very doubtful that they would wait until the order arrived before starting construction.

Zhang Cheng had to choose the color of the car and paid a deposit of $250,000. After Zhang Cheng paid the deposit, he immediately put forward the brand of Bugatti 16.4 sold. The entire auto show was filled with exclamation that luxury goods such as million sports cars are not particularly easy to sell in the United States (luxury goods tax), especially now that the global economy is not so good.

Fortunately, Zhang Cheng is neither able to drive nor does he have a driver's license now, so he can learn it at this time.
