7. Arrival of the property certificate

Walker Hall, a reliable and savvy real estate agent, asked his colleague to download Mr. Yang's ID information from the police department's website in advance, and then took him to the Petertown government department to ask for the land sale materials for the reserve to start filling in when the colleague valued the diamond.

In the past, South Africa's land sales were handled by a unit called the Land Management Committee, but now the government has carried out land reform and set up a new department called the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reform, and Yang Shubao and his family have to deal with this new department.

After getting the materials, some Hall helped him fill them out, and some of them needed him to fill them out by himself.

Hall told him very seriously: "Mr. Yang, this is a memorandum of land use in the reserve, these forms must be filled in, you pay attention, you must pay attention to the format of the filling! The auditors don't care what you fill in at all, they only care about whether you write well, whether there are typos, whether the format is correct, these are the most important things!"

If it weren't for Hall's special reminder, Yang Shubao really didn't understand this unspoken rule.

His English was very good, and he quickly filled out the next information with Hall's help.

Then there is more information to fill out.

Large-scale land deals are a hassle in any country, especially when the South African government is notoriously cumbersome.

During this time, Hall answered the phone, and when he returned, he said: "Yang, the specific quality appraisal results of your eighteen diamonds have come out, and the estimate given by colleagues in the company's precious metals and gemstone department is three million rand. ”

Three million three hundred and eighty thousand rand is almost one million 1.19 million yuan, and the eighteen diamonds are of very good quality, the largest one is close to four carats, so such a diamond can be sold for 1.2 million yuan in the Chinese luxury market.

But there is no way, the loose diamond trade is not a luxury sale, the diamond is sold for the brand, and it is not worth much without a brand bonus.

Facing Hall's inquiring eyes, Yang Shubao pondered for a moment and said, "The price given by your colleague is equivalent to three and four hundred thousand rand, and he left me room for twenty thousand, right?"

Hall nodded, this can only fool Brother Hei, not the Chinese.

Yang Shubao said: "Then I want 3.5 million rand, you help me communicate with him, and the extra 100,000 rand will be divided equally between the two of us, 50,000 yuan per person." ”

Hall said happily: "Leave it to me, if the excess is divided equally based on three million and four million, then I can give you three million and six hundred thousand." ”

That's the reality.

Excluding Hall's 100,000 yuan, 3.5 million of the 3.6 million li is Yang Shubao's, but this money has to be taxed.

Hall helped Yang Shubao plan: "This money can be used as tax avoidance, you take 2 million to buy the land in the reserve, and then sign a plan with the Ministry of Agriculture and Land for the investment and construction of the reserve, and sign a contract of 2 million, so that according to the new policy, 3.5 million yuan will be invested in the land without paying taxes." ”

"As for the 2 million contract, you don't have to worry about it, in order to encourage everyone to invest in land and agriculture, the Ministry of Agriculture and Land has issued a new policy that stipulates that this kind of contract can be broken. ”

"You're such a talent. Yang Shubao gave him a thumbs up.

Since arriving at the Agricultural and Land Bureau in the morning, Yang Shubao has been signing and submitting materials, and then eating some bread at noon, and they continue to work, and they have been busy until four o'clock in the afternoon to complete the submission of all the materials.

After the information was approved, Yang Shubao went to the Standard Bank of South Africa to apply for a bank card with the temporary documents handled from the police station, and 3.6 million yuan in cash was quickly transferred to it.

South Africa's Standard Bank, the largest bank in Africa, has a Chinese shadow on it: in 2008, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) acquired a 20 percent strategic stake in the bank for $5.5 billion, making it the bank's majority shareholder.

Therefore, Yang Shubao's bank card application was very smooth, and his status as a Chinese student played a great role.

As soon as 3.6 million yuan entered his pocket, 100,000 yuan was transferred to Hall first, and 2 million yuan was taken away by the Ministry of Agriculture and Land, and he took 10,000 yuan in cash and quietly stuffed it to a leader of the Petertown Agriculture and Land Bureau, so that in the end he only had 1.49 million left.

Making money is like constipation, and spending money is like diarrhea.

The 10,000 rand was very useful, and half an hour later the land title deeds were issued, and a piece of land with a total area of 404 hectares, or 1,000 acres, was assigned to his name.

The nature of land in South Africa is the same as in Europe and the United States, and it is a freehold property.

He was in a trance when he got his certificate, it was like a dream, he was watching the rain on the marching bed of the Cape Botanical Reserve yesterday morning, and now he is the owner of a large plot of land next to the Great Santa Lucia Wetland Reserve......

"The world is unpredictable!" he could only sigh with emotion.

It's a pity that the phone is not around, otherwise he would have to send a circle of friends to pretend to be a drifter**.

Since he was admitted to the master's degree, he has no chance to pretend to be a comparison, and when he first went abroad, he pretended to be a few comparisons in the circle of friends, but as relatives and friends knew that he came to Africa for exchange and study instead of traveling, they treated him as Shabi.

In the past, people in the village taught their children to say: "You have to study hard, take your Yang family uncle as an example, go to the magic capital to study in college, then go to the capital to study for graduate school, and then go to the country to get an iron rice bowl in the future." ”

Now the people in the village have changed their education to children: "How long you have to be long-minded, don't be stupid like your Yang family uncle and let people sell piglets to Africa." ”

In the past, when he called home, his mother would always mention to him that this aunt and that aunt were going to introduce him to the blind date of the eldest girl and the little girl, and since he came to Africa and called again, his mother did not mention the blind date once.

After finishing his work, Hall looked at his watch and said directly: "It's five o'clock, and you can return to the resort town at half past seven, the time is just right, and I will invite you to dinner to celebrate." ”

Yang Shubao smiled dryly: "Are you sure you can drive back?

He felt like he could spend the night in town.

Hall snapped his fingers lightly and said, "SO-EASY." ”

There are fewer cars on the way back, and the speed is faster than when you came!

However, Yang Shubao was not afraid this time, he fell asleep after getting in the car.

When he was woken up, he opened his eyes to see the small and fresh scenery of the resort town.

Hall said happily as he pushed the car door, "I've already spoken to Richard, he's prepared a sumptuous dinner, let's have a good night tonight." ”

Yang Shubao didn't speak, but a black man passing by was excited when he heard Hall's words, and he shook at the two: "Hi up hi up, oh buddy, oh, yo, yo, the lights are on at night, the dance floor chicks are swinging, yo yo!

Yang Shubao looked embarrassed, but the black buddy swayed and enjoyed himself.

Crucially, Hall didn't know him either.
