(the following text)
…………
The small pit that Hannah dug has been dug into a large pit by Link and the others.
Hannah crouched on the edge of the tunnel and watched Link and Claire move the last rotten crate out underneath. Link rolled over and went to the ground first, then reached out and pulled Carlisle up the tunnel about two meters deep.
Tiger and Tim climbed out of the tunnel on their own. Put what you find in the pit and put it in a pile.
After Claire climbed to the ground, she looked at the things on the ground that had fallen from the rotten and broken boxes, and despite the mud on the ground, she just lay on the ground, laughing and saying, "What I imagined when I was a child is finally complete today." I didn't think I could actually dig up a treasure!"
Hannah came over and took Link's hand and asked expectantly, "Daddy, is this the treasure?"
"Yes, definitely. "For children, any strange piece of rotten wood can be regarded as a treasure. And what is dug up now is definitely a veritable treasure.
Pearl and gemstone jewelry loaded in porcelain, gold and silver coins and gold bricks in hemlock wood chests. Looks like there's a whole bunch of them. If these are not treasures, what else is treasure?
Claire lay down for a while, got up from the ground and said, "I just looked, and the gold and silver coins are dated from the fifties to the nineties of the nineteenth century. Most are American gold coins with the head of the Lady of Liberty. There are also a lot of Mexican silver coins, and Spanish gold trade coins. It seems that these things have been buried in the ground for more than a hundred years. ”
Link looked at the pile of gold, silver, and jewels on the ground and said, "Let's move things back first." ”
"I'm going to drive. Tiger was a little dazzled when he saw something on the ground. He didn't expect Link to ask him and Tim to dig up things, and they would end up digging up these things.
Link nodded and said, "Go ahead." Bring a canvas. He didn't think about what to do with these things for a while. I don't want to be eye-catching.
Everything you dig up on your own farm should be personal. But whether it needs to be reported or not needs to be checked by the law to know. As for whether to pay taxes or not, then he is even less clear.
Tiger not only drove the car, but also brought a lot of cloth bags. It's just the right time to take things back with you. They brought all the things back to the villa and put them in one place for the time being, and the people who participated in the treasure digging first took a bath and changed their clothes. Then they cleaned the dug up together.
Finally, there are two main types of silver coins, one is the United States, usually DuPont silver coins with a dollar denomination, and there are many years. The silver content of this silver coin is 90%, and there are more than 9,000 pieces in total. The other was the largest Mexican silver coin in circulation at the time. There are more than 2,500 pieces. Almost all of the gold coins were American, and almost all of them were in twenty dollar denominations. There are more than 3,100 in total. There are also about a hundred gold coins that look like they are Spanish.
There are also a large number of pearls and gemstones, and more than 300 ten-pound gold bricks.
How much these things are worth, no one can tell. However, Link has no plans to sell.
Claire shook her sore hand and said, "The original owner of this treasure must be a rich man. Strangely enough, before World War I, Huazhou was a place that relied heavily on logging and fur business. How can you be so rich? And it's in this Ozet. Could it be that he discovered the gold mine?"
At the beginning of the 19th century, Huazhou was still jointly managed by Britain and the United States, but at that time, the fur business in Huazhou was monopolized by others. And there are really gold mines in the west. It is not impossible for such a rich man to appear. It's just that the strangest thing is why the owners of this batch of treasures buried them in the ground.
Link couldn't figure it out either. But for him, as long as the treasure is not fake.
He rubbed his arm and said, "Whoever they belonged to before, it's Hannah's now, anyway." His hands were sore from digging and washing the treasures.
"You two fathers and daughters have enviable luck!" Claire looked at the gold that had been cleaned, and the luster on the surface of the gold was heartwarming. "I think these things could be worth at least $300 million, which should be the biggest underground treasure ever found in the United States. "Although he dug up these things, according to American law, these things can only be Link's. Because it was found by Hannah, and the thing was dug up in Link's land. He and Tiger were just helping to dig.
And although two or three hundred million dollars is a lot, he will not be blinded. He was just shocked by the splendor of gold.
It's not just women who are fascinated by what shines.
Link smiled and took a ruby, which was the largest of the rubies they had found, and said, "This is a gift from Hannah." Maybe you can use it when you meet a woman who wants to propose. "It's kind of a thank you for his help.
Claire was not polite, and smiled and said, "Thank you Hannah!" but Hannah was not there at all.
Link picked up two more diamonds of about the same size, gave them to Tiger and Tim, and said, "Thank you for your hard work today." You have these two diamonds. At the end of the month, I'll give you another $100,000. But I hope this doesn't go out for now. ”
Tiger and Tim are also determined people. Even if Link didn't give them anything, they wouldn't be upset. Besides, on weekdays, Link is already quite generous to their bodyguards.
As a bodyguard, if they are dissatisfied because their boss is rich and does not give them more, they are definitely not a qualified bodyguard. Now Link is willing to pay them something, which is already a windfall.
After thanking them, they were not polite, and carefully put away the diamonds. The diamonds they got should be more than two carats, and that would be worth about thirty or forty thousand dollars. They can get more than 100,000 dollars by digging for half a day, what are they dissatisfied with such a salary?
Claire didn't stay all. He knew that the Link family of three must have a lot to say, and that his stay would only disturb them.
Link certainly has a lot to say to Jessica.
Jessica had already heard Link say that Hannah had dug up the treasure. It's just that she has a big belly and doesn't look at it. Seeing Link come out, you know they've counted the harvest. She couldn't wait to find out what they had dug up today.
Jessica beckoned to Hannah, who was drawing, and said, "Hannah, come over and listen to your father tell me about your treasure." ”
Hannah is happy today because she dug up the treasure. But she didn't understand what the treasure meant. So her excitement has faded over time. This would hear Jessica bring it up again, and start wanting to get it again. She put down her paintbrush and ran over.
As soon as Link sat down, she climbed up Link's pants and sat down on his lap, saying, "Daddy, where's my treasure?"
Jessica was also curious and asked, "What exactly did you dig up?"
"Mostly gold, three hundred and nine ten-pound gold bricks, and more than three thousand two hundred gold coins, of which about a hundred seem to be Spanish gold coins. The rest were all U.S. gold coins, with a total denomination of more than $62,000. There are also more than 10,000 silver coins. And, of course, a dozen pounds of pearls and gemstones. Claire estimates that that's worth at least $300 million. ”
"Oh my God. Jessica exclaimed, then smiled and kissed Hannah a few times on the cheek. "Now Hannah is a little rich woman who is richer than me. ”
Hannah showed two rows of small teeth, her eyes completed two small crescents, and she giggled and said, "Well, Hannah dug up the treasure, and it was the little rich woman." ”
Link watched the two of them arguing for a while, and said to Jessica, "Now I'm thinking about what to do with these things, whether to report them or hide them." "He has no intention of selling these things. It doesn't matter if you report it or not. He checked the law, and these things were dug up in his land. Then it's all his. It's just that he has to pay taxes.
Of course, if you want to say that it is Hannah's, you can't do it. But according to the law, if Hannah dug up the newspaper, he also got half of it. for the land is in his name.
But he could give up his claim to the treasure and buy it at market value, and Hannah would get a huge sum of money without paying any so-called child tax – which was not investment income, and it was not business income, and the personal income tax would be quite low.
In fact, according to the literal interpretation of the law, salary income cannot be regarded as personal income. Because that is the income of labor, that is, the income from the sale of labor. It is an equivalent exchange, that is, the laborer does not receive additional income. No income certainly shouldn't be subject to income tax on this.
However, the tax law protects the wealthy, and other income will be taxed lower than the income from labor.
Of course, this is good for Link. He hopes that such a tax code will continue. Especially this time, he didn't have to pay much in taxes.
He said to Jessica, "I'm going to count this treasure on Hannah's head, and I'm going to pay for everything." ”
Jessica blinked, and the thief laughed, "It's a good idea! ”
If they give money directly to Hannah, they need to pay a gift tax, and if Hannah wants to start a business in the future, they also need to wait until they become an adult to get a certain amount of start-up capital before they can start. If she gets the money, she doesn't have to think about those things at all. As for what Hannah wants to invest in?
When Link heard this, he smiled and said, "Then do it." I'm going to declare it tomorrow and have someone do the assessment. ”
Jessica joked with Hannah in a jealous tone, "Hannah, now you're really richer than Kaka." What a failure!"
Hannah didn't even understand what "failure" meant, but Jessica's lame acting skills would have been easy to fool a little girl who trusted her so much.
Hannah hurriedly stroked her face, kissed her a few times, and comforted: "Ka Ka is not afraid, I invite you to eat candy!" For Hannah, money is only used to pay back the candy.
Jessica held back a smile and said, "Okay, in the future, if you want to eat candy, you can ask Hannah for it." Is that okay?"
Link watched the two of them laugh and listen to his daughter's childish words, and couldn't help but laugh.
As for Jessica, she probably doesn't have much cash right now. But Benihans will certainly not be less earning this year. After dividends, how can she have an income of two or three hundred million. And her stake in Benihans is likely to make her one of the few richest women in the world after the company goes public.
