"But ......"
"Oh God! Don't be, can't you be sharp? Besides, the money is loaned to you, but you have to pay it back, as for the interest? Considering that it is a favor that I return to you, I will not accept it. But when you have the money, you must pay it back to me! ”
Helen said to Jin Muchen with a smile, everyone said so, if Jin Muchen was prevaricating, it would be a little hypocritical, he nodded.
"Don't worry! I will! ”……
On Monday afternoon, Jin Muchen, Fang Bo, and Helen completed the handover with James Patton at the original Barton factory.
First of all, I checked the water and electricity, as well as some basic facilities, to ensure that there is no problem with the house, if there are cracks in the wall, or the roof is damaged, the original owner needs to pay for repairs.
Otherwise, such a house will be counted as a dilapidated house and cannot be sold to others.
Then the lawyers of both parties came forward to check the contract to ensure that there were no suspected fraud clauses in it, and today Jin Muchen's lawyer was recommended by Helen, a very famous lawyer in real estate, of course, the fee is not low.
But the victory is professional, and the contract was handed over to him to read, and there was no problem.
At the same time, there is also a real estate appraiser on the scene, this real estate appraiser is appointed by the local government, he will be based on the size of the house, the size of the house, the facilities of the house, the age of the house, the type of the house, and the sale price of three or four houses sold in the vicinity in the past six months, to make a comparison, and estimate how much tax Jin Muchen should pay as a buyer.
Jin Muchen couldn't escape this tax payment, and he didn't dare to go against the most powerful authority in the United States, the IRS, so he could only admit it obediently.
However, this real estate appraiser is fair, and the most important thing is him and James. Barton and Helen are all acquaintances, so they are also quite face-saving, and some places that can give discounts have been discounted.
even vaguely told Jin Muchen a few tips for deducting taxes and fees, because the transaction amount was huge, and the final approved taxes and fees were relatively low, and he calculated one percent.
Don't look at it as only one percent, but there are three types of taxes in it, namely county tax, city tax, and school district tax, anyway, it sounds very complicated, and Jin Muchen understands it too much, so he leaves it to the lawyer to deal with him.
In the end, he had to pay more than 190,000 yuan in property tax, but fortunately, he didn't have to pay it immediately, and he could pay it off before March 31 of the following year.
The lawyers of both parties verified that the contract was correct, and the appraiser probably went through the motions, and then the two parties signed the contract for the sale and purchase of the house, and then Jin Muchen cleared the account to James through the computer.
Then the lawyer, James, and the real estate appraiser all left, and Helen didn't stay when she saw that the transaction was over, and said hello to Jin Muchen and Uncle Fang before leaving.
Uncle Fang looked at the house and began to measure it around, feeling very satisfied with the house.
"Well, this area is really big enough, the single floor is nearly 100 square meters larger than my store, so that after this store opens, the site layout will not be so cramped. There is an open space of 200 square meters in the front, and 50 square meters in the back, and you can also separate a few small offices, or lounges, toilets, or whatever. Needless to say, the basement can be used as a studio, and a storage room. Then come to the second, third and fourth floors, the second floor can be used as a valuable items exhibition room, here is Manhattan, you have to take out a few treasures of the town store, put it upstairs, open to VIP customers. There is also a seating area for guests to rest and socialize. The third floor, when the time comes, I will live on the third floor, the kitchen, the living room will stay on the third floor, and you kid will live on the fourth floor, haha, such a large area, even if you have more girlfriends, you are not afraid? ”
Uncle Fang looked at Jin Muchen with a smile and said, Jin Muchen had long been used to Uncle Fang's gossip, but he just squeezed out a wry smile.
Nima, I don't know if I don't buy a house, but if I buy a house, I can be regarded as 20 years of hard work, and I will return to the pre-liberation period.
Every house slave in China, when I arrived in the United States, I became a house slave!
I originally thought that with 10 million yuan in my hand, I would be able to live a super rich life in New York, but when I bought a house, I emptied my account, not only owed 2 million to others, but also owed 200,000 to the IRS.
Rub, the pressure is huge!
The most important thing is the decoration of this house, this house is in hand, but originally this is not for people to live, but a button factory, so the design of this house is all designed in accordance with the requirements of the factory and warehouse.
The inner height of more than thirteen meters, but in order to facilitate the entry and exit of large machinery and transport vehicles, there are only two floors, and now it is empty.
And if you want to transform this empty house into a commercial and residential room, you also need to find a special design company to design it, if according to Fang Bo's idea just now, this will cost a lot of money just on construction and decoration.
And considering that he opened a relatively high-end antique store, and his own people still live here, this security measure must also be taken into account, and the whole house will be renovated from the new design at that time, plus security measures, it is estimated that this will be more than one million.
Nima, that's another lot of money!
As soon as he thought of this, Jin Muchen felt that his brain was numb for a while.
But the house has already been bought, and the place that should be installed and changed must be done, otherwise why buy a house?
It's a big deal, it's good to shoot a few treasures, think about it, it seems that there are a few things in your hands that can be shot now, huh!
By the way, the gold-painted box that was taken away by Sotheby's should have a result, didn't they say that it would be auctioned at the London Spring Auction?
As soon as he thought of that box, Jin Muchen's mood suddenly improved again, he had been busy and dizzy recently, and he forgot about the box when he arrived.
He and Uncle Fang walked around the empty new home for a while, discussing many problems about how to decorate the house, and then drove back to Flushing with Uncle Fang, who was reluctant to give up.
As soon as he parked the car in front of the store, he saw a dark figure emerge from a car across the street and run towards him quickly.
"Mr. Jin, Mr. Jin, you are back, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Jin Muchen turned his head and saw that it turned out to be Andre from Christie's, this guy took a painting from his hand last time, and he brought someone to see the table a few days ago.
By the way, when I came back from Los Angeles, I was still thinking about calling him, but because of the purchase of a house, I forgot about it at that time.
"Hello, Andre, I went out before, I'm sorry, why didn't you call me when you waited here for so long?"
"Why didn't you fight, I've called several, but you haven't answered, I thought you had something very important, so I didn't fight again."
When Jin Muchen heard this, he hurriedly took out the phone and looked at it, and sure enough, there were seven or eight missed calls on it, and then he remembered that he had turned the phone to silent because he was considering the scene of the negotiation of the delivery of the house.
He quickly apologized to André and let him into the house.
"Mr. Jin, I guess this Mr. Fang also told you, last time I brought an expert from our company to come over and check on the matter of that table. I came to you this time to tell you that the identification of carbon-14 has been passed and belongs to the antiques of the eighteenth century. However, about the origin of this desk, several experts in our company still have some disputes that cannot be determined, and they hope to be able to dismantle the table teachings of these desks, which is quite beneficial for identifying the whole table and finding out the origin of the table. So I hope you can agree, Mr. Kim. ”
Andre said to Jin Muchen very sincerely, Jin Muchen didn't hesitate at all, there is purple jade space, is it possible that he is afraid that the other party will break this table?
But what should be said is still to be said.
"Andre, what do you say is the way to dismantle the table legs? And what happens if the table is broken? ”
"Please rest assured, Mr. Jin, our appraisers are very professional."
Jin Muchen sneered, Andre's face was a little embarrassed, in fact, everyone in the circle knows that these so-called professional appraisers are still less when things go wrong?
But as a salesman, you have to be thick-skinned, Andre just blushed slightly, and then continued.
"We just saw a thick circle of black rubber pads on the four feet of this table, which was weird, so we wanted to remove these rubber pads and take a look. And Mr. Kim, you don't have to worry about any damage to this table if it is dismantled at all. First, we are insured, and second, since you also want to know the origin of this table, how can you not take any risks, right? If you had to remove these rubber pads and determine the origin of this table, Mr. Kim, you would have earned it. The value of this table will rise immediately? When the time comes, it will be several times, or even more than a ten, it is not impossible? Wouldn't you earn that way? What's more, our appraisal is completely free of charge, and we don't charge you a penny! ”
This Andre, don't look very honest, but this mouth is really good at fooling people.
If Jin Muchen didn't know how to do it, he might really be fooled by him, but he was a knowledgeable person after all.
"Forget it, I can pay the appraisal fee, but if the table is damaged, you must be responsible for compensation according to the price, and the price of my table is not low. If you agree, you will bring someone tomorrow, and if you don't, then forget it! ”R1152
