1512. Vicissitudes Entertainment Room (2/5)

Abdul-Jabbar's father left him not only this fishing ground, but also a bar in Toronto, where his dream of DJ existed. And the reason why he wanted to sell the star fishery was not only that he didn't want to manage the fishery, but also because he needed money to pay the probate tax.

In this way, Qin Shiou understood.

There is no inheritance tax in the traditional sense in Canada, but accepting the inheritance of the parents is not free of tax. The tax to be paid here is the probate tax. Qin Shiou knew this tax quite well. When he came to bid farewell to the island, he carried this tax on his back.

Now, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is in the same situation as him, and he also bears the blame.

What is probate tax? That is to say, if the heir of the property designated in the will receives the inheritance according to the will, the national court first needs to verify all the properties in the will, especially real estate, such as RV fishing farms, pastures and farms. This verification will charge a fee.

Of course, this is not mandatory. The heir does not need the court to verify the property, but in this way he cannot inherit the property in the will, because the country believes that these properties are illegal, and there may be illegal groups using the will to launder What about black money?

Canada, like the United States, believes that private property is sacred and inviolable, but this private property belongs to private individuals, not to private family members. For example, the famous American star Kobe Bryant once sued his parents for privately selling his trophies and medals, and then the court ruled in favor of him because those properties belonged to Kobe.

Before being certified by the court, this fishing ground is not owned by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's father. Now that his father is dead, if he wants to certify fisheries and bars, he has to pay the state.

Abdul-Jabbar's father suffered from severe cerebral thrombosis and was unable to manage the fishery about eight years ago. At that time, his family moved to Toronto for medical treatment. At that time, the Canadian fishery industry was still at the tail end of its heyday. money. So in addition to treating illnesses, his father also invested in a large bar.

As a result, a lot of money was spent on medical treatment, and the fishing industry began to decline again. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was still tossing and tossing for the dream of becoming a star DJ. After these few tosses, their family didn't have much money. After his father passed away, after a decent funeral, he didn't even have the money to pay the will tax.

In Canada, there is another way to pay probate tax in this case. That is to loan first, and then repay the money. Banks are happy to lend to these rich second generations.

But Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't think it was necessary. He just wanted to sell the fish farm early, so he didn't need to go through the bank, otherwise it would take time to go through the loan repayment procedures.

After clarifying the situation, Qin Shiou was relieved,

Auerbach came later, and he made an initial contract on the plane. Qin Shiou first paid Kareem Abdul-Jabbar one million Canadian dollars. Let him pay the probate tax and then finish the fish farm deal.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's current situation is much worse than that of Qin Shiou in the past. The tax rate standard in Newfoundland Province is that the inheritance is over 250,000 yuan, and the tax rate is 140,000 yuan per 10,000 yuan, which is the lowest among the provinces. Nova Scotia also collects taxes above 250,000 yuan, but it charges 150,000 yuan for every million yuan!

According to the evaluation of the Royal Bank of Canada, the value of Star Fishery is 10,000 yuan. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wants more than 320,000 Canadian dollars in taxes. There is also a big bar in Toronto, which together pays more than 500,000 Canadian dollars in taxes. .

things in the future. Qin Shiou only needs to transfer the money, and Auerbach is in charge of the contract. The fishery can be temporarily frozen and not used, so naturally there is no need for management.

Abdul-Jabbar went to pay the probate tax. Qin Shiou took Auerbach, Shaq and others who came with him to the new fishing ground.

After entering, mainly fishermen such as Shaq were discussing, this fishing ground is much smaller than Daqin Fishing Ground, the coastline is only a little more than two kilometers, and we walked along the beach quickly.

But to Qin Shiou's satisfaction, the beach of this fishery is a golden beach similar to that of Daqin Fishery, and the sand is very fine. There are patches of mangroves growing on the shore.

Seeing these trees, Shaq praised: "The owner of the fishery is an expert. This kind of tree should be planted in the fishery. It can protect the sand and soil very well, and the fallen leaves can also be converted into bait for plankton."

Regarding this small fishing ground, the fishermen's opinion is that only the area is a little small, and the others are really good. However, the small area also has the advantage of a small area, so that the breeding can be carried out in a seine manner, which can minimize the loss during the breeding process.

Qin Shiou didn't care about the loss, he had the consciousness of the sea god, and just don't lose the surrounding fishing grounds.

The next morning, he took Auerbach to the fishing ground and brought him into the entertainment room. Heidao said that this entertainment room was full of the taste of the 1970s, and that era was when Papa Auerbach was young and middle-aged. interested in.

Sure enough, as soon as the door was opened, Auerbach, who had always been calm, showed shock when he saw the decoration style and deployment pattern inside, which Qin Shiou had never seen before.

"God!" Auerbach exclaimed.

Qin Shiou just took a rough look last time, mainly because Kareem Abdul-Jabbar began to mutter melancholy as soon as he came in. He only cared about comforting this guy, so he can take a good look at the entertainment room.

At the entrance of the entertainment room was an old-fashioned pool table. The tablecloth was rotten, and more than a dozen billiard balls were scattered in the corner. He went to look at the table, and found that the table should be made of pine wood, and the edges were worn out. pulp.

The walls are richest in decoration, with tires, a replaced rudder, and faded posters.

,

The most prominent posters are Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones, as well as a large handsome photo of Al Pacino. At that time, the godfather was still young, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, with a rebellious look, how could Qin Shiou think he had the style of the brother in "God of Gamblers".

Opening the drawer, there were many weird things in it. He found a photo album, and after opening it, he saw some people dressed as fishermen, who should be Jabbar's parents. These people were wearing denim clothes, the jeans are flared trousers that are hardly seen now, and some of the women in the photos in the back were wearing platform shoes.

There was no alcohol in the small bar, but there was a large tape recorder and a box of tapes under the bar. Auerbach opened it and looked at it, and said with a smile, "Hey, they're all good stuff."

Qin Shiou didn't know much about the Canadian music scene in the 1970s, so he couldn't see any good stuff in it.

In fact, he didn't know anything about the whole of Canada in the 1970s, so he didn't think this entertainment room was interesting, but Auerbach was very interested. Later, Qin Shiou asked him to go with him, and he waved his hand directly, saying that he would be here wait a while.

The old man not only stayed inside for a while, but then he drove Qin Shiou to Xiaoye City to buy cleaning tools. He wanted to clean the house. (To be continued.)
