Text Chapter 771 Pebble Beach Auto Show
Xiao Peng was so angry that he threw his mobile phone directly on the bed, but at this time, the phone suddenly rang, and when Xiao Peng looked at the number, it turned out to be a home phone.
He didn't want to answer the phone, and his mother and father would definitely talk to him again, but he couldn't hide, so he had to pick up the phone: "Hey, Mom?"
"You still know that I'm your mother? You're too big to tell your parents anything, are you? You drove a sailboat and went to the Stars and Stripes, why don't you fly? You even went to boxing with people, see what you can do! I've heard people say, that's the boxing champion! The kind that has never lost, your little physique is enough to fight? Did you blow your brain out at seaγγγγγγ Xiao Peng didn't speak, and his mother on the other side of the phone had been chattering for a long time. "Why don't you speak??"
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "Mom, you also want to give me a chance to talk, don't you?" From the time I connected the phone to now, how could I have a chance to interjectγγγγγγ β
The old mother snorted: "Then tell me, what do you think? Why don't you tell your family about such a big thing? You little rabbit cub, do you still have your mother in your eyes?"
Xiao Peng took a deep breath and controlled his emotions: "Mom, since you asked me to say it, then I'll talk about it." What's the use of me telling you? What can you do for me? Help me manage the fishing grounds? I went to Ukraine, and the fishing grounds almost took someone's last name; I went out to sea to fish? I stayed at sea for months, and I went in all kinds of winds and waves, and you two bodies could stand it? So what use did you say, what use did I tell you? I told you that you could let me break the world record in a sailboat? If I told you that I was going to fight with Mayweather, you would let me do it? Mom, I know that you two old people love me, but you must know that I am about to be 25 years old, and I am no longer a child! I can create such a big family business for our family, don't I know what I should do and what I should not do? I don't want to make you two angry, but you two calm down and think about it, if I really do everything according to what you say, can our family have today's beautiful days?"
Xiao Peng can be regarded as saying all the words that have been suppressed for so long, there is no way, Huaxia's parents are like this, they keep saying that they are for the good of their children, for the sake of their children, of course, this is also the case, but inadvertently, they manipulated their children's lives.
"I'm scolding you for your own goodγγγγγγ Such words are something that every Chinese child must have heard when he was growing up.
Please, scold you or do it for your own good? What the hell is this logic?
After Xiao Peng finished speaking, he found that there was no voice on the phone: "Hey, hey, Mom?" picked up the phone and saw that his mother had hung up the phone. Xiao Peng scratched his head, did he go a little too far?
And at this moment in Qindao, Xiao Peng's house, Chen Aifen was holding the phone, crying, Xiao Jianjun couldn't help but see this scene: "What did that bastard boy say? What are you crying about? Give me the phone! I will call and scold him to death!"
Chen Aifen clutched her phone tightly and glared at Xiao Jianjun: "Who are you scolding? Our son is much better than you! Why are you scolding him?"
"Then why are you crying?" Xiao Jianjun didn't answer.
Chen Aifen wiped her tears: "Our sonγγγγγ He grew upγγγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng called the phone back again, and his father answered the phone, knowing that his mother was not angry, so he was relieved.
Tsk, mom is really, don't hang up the phone if you're happy, look at what worries me!
Not long after, Eminem came to find Xiao Peng.
He told Xiao Peng a good news and a bad news, the good news is: the Pebble Beach auction is about to start, the bad news is: Eminem can't accompany Xiao Peng anymore, he has to go back to Las Vegas, there is a music event there, it will take several days. Xiao Peng had to call Ah Can, it would be better to have a local guide as a guide.
Not long after Ah Can received the call, he arrived at the hotel where Xiao Peng was staying, and as soon as Xiao Peng went out, he saw Ah Can leaning on the car door at the door of the hotel and waiting for Xiao Peng.
"Ah Can, your car is good!" Today, Ah Can drove a Mercedes-Benz G63AMG, which cost more than 2 million Chinese coins in Huaxia.
Ah Can scratched his head embarrassedly: "Ding Ye heard that you were looking for me, so he asked me to drive this car, 120,000 US dollars to buy a car, I am not so extravagant." β
"How much? This car costs 120,000 US dollars?" Xiao Peng calculated the exchange rate: "Isn't this 810,000 yuan?"
Ah Can said: "That's right. β
Xiao Peng sighed: "This car was bought in Huaxia, almost 2.3 million Huaxia coins." Why is the price so much different? If you don't bring it back from here, then send it?"
Ah Can started the car and drove towards Pebble Beach with Xiao Peng, and said as he drove: "Mr. Xiao, I am familiar with this matter, let me tell you about it." β
"Are you familiar?" Xiao Peng was curious.
Ah Can nodded and said, "The line of smuggling cars in the gang is what I am staring at." β
Xiao Peng: "γγγγγγ "You have a really wide range of business involvedγγγγγγ
Ah Can continued: "In fact, the reason is very simple, or the tax of Huaxia Customs, such as car imports, Huaxia Customs has to charge three taxes, 25% tariff, 17% value-added tax, and the rest is consumption tax, the lower the displacement of the car, the lower the consumption tax, like this Mercedes-Benz G63AMG, the displacement exceeds 4.0, then you have to pay 40% consumption tax." β
Xiao Peng crossed his fingers and calculated: "Isn't that to pay 83% of the car price?"
Ah Chan shook his head: " This is not calculated like this, it is to be calculated separately, whether it is consumption tax or value-added tax, there is its own calculation formula, I give an example, this AMG, we spent 800,000 yuan after tax price to buy, if you want to transport to China, then you need to pay 200,000 tariffs, and 666,000 consumption tax, plus 283,000 value-added tax, that is, to pay 1.15 million tariffs, plus the money to buy the car, this is 1.95 million, of course, there are other costs, what customs clearance costs, commodity inspection costs, transportation costs, bank fees, optional costs, dealers also have to make moneyThis is how the car price in Huaxia was born. β
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "800,000 cars, 1.15 million tariffs?"
Ah Can nodded and said: "Of course not, the most important thing is the consumption tax, who made this car have a displacement of more than 4.0? That must be the highest tax, if it is a displacement below 1.5, you only need to pay 1% consumption tax." But unfortunately, luxury cars are large displacement, so in Huaxia is, the more expensive the car, and the higher the price difference between the stars and stripes, for example, the super sports version of Bugatti Weihang, after buying in the United States, the paid price is about 16 million yuan, but in Huaxia to buy, that is 43 million, because the customs duties alone will cost 23 million. β
Xiao Peng was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and said after a while: "No wonder I read the media reports, which local tyrant bought a car, all of them were flown back from foreign countries, it turned out that it was not for pretending, but to save money. β
Ah Can said: "Of course, buying a car from abroad needs to go through very troublesome procedures, and the car you bought in this way has no warranty, and there is a gap between the gasoline used and the domestic one, so unless there is a luxury car of more than one million, it is not cost-effective to buy it in a foreign country and bring it back." If the displacement above 4.0 is to think carefully, the consumption tax is too high. It is precisely because of this that smuggled cars are so marketable. β
Xiao Peng was completely dumbfounded: "I still want to go to Pebble Beach to buy a favorite classic car and drive it back, how much tax does it have to pay." It costs millions of dollars to buy a car there. β
Ah Can smiled: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, Huaxia doesn't allow you to import second-hand cars, you can't get a license card back, you want to get the car back, there are only two ways, one is to take the procedure of foreign businessmen bringing their own cars, and the Huaxia government allows foreign businessmen who have worked in Huaxia for more than one year to bring a car into Huaxia." β
"Next way, I'm not a foreign businessman. Xiao Peng said.
"The other way is that I'll ship it back for you. "Well, that's a smuggling car.
Ah Can continued: "Mr. Xiao, don't be afraid that you won't be able to hang up the cards when you take them back, it's still very simple for my customers in Huaxia to help you make decks. β
"I'm going to buy a car for millions of dollars and turn it into a deck car? I'm going to have nothing to do. Xiao Peng said: "Okay, if I want to transport it back, then there should be no problem, just find someone, let's go see if there is a suitable car first." If you don't see it, everything is in vain. β
"Of course. But Mr. Xiao, when a man goes to the Pebble Beach Auto Show, he usually finds the car he likes. β
"Is that an exaggeration? I'm very demanding. β
Ah Chan smiled: "You'll know when you go." β
Facts have proved that Ah Can is right, the Pebble Beach Auto Show only exhibits 175 cars every year, and Xiao Peng himself has at least 150 carsγγγγγ
It's definitely justified to be called the world's most luxurious auto show. The cars that come here are generally awarded, and there are many judges who evaluate the exhibited cars according to the degree of repair of the model and the reliability of the vehicle. The design and styling of the models are judged separately, and then the best cars in each category are selected according to the brand, model, body manufacturer, country of origin, or production time. That means that the auction price will rise sharply, and some cars of the same model from the same manufacturer can be sold at sky-high prices, while others are not cared for, because of these details.
Every year, there are several luxury cars that shock the world in price.
Collecting antique cars is very marketable in Europe and the United States, and even more so for cars that go out of the Pebble Beach Auto Show.
That is equivalent to a layer of diamond-encrusted ID cards------ are all valuable goods!
