Chapter 71 Taxes must be paid!
The high price of two thousand dollars scared off a group of people, and there were two main groups of people competing with Zhu Yu.
One group was three brothers from Central Asia. Zhu Yu couldn't tell where they were from. Later, Jason reminded him in a low voice that these three brothers were Jews.
There was also a separate group of people, women in their thirties, not as plump as Diana, with average looks, short hair, and quite capable, and glanced at Zhu Yu from time to time.
Zhu Yu guessed that this must be a novice.
Women are very cautious when raising prices:
"Two thousand three hundred dollars!"
The three Jewish brothers were more bold and raised their hands directly:
"Three thousand dollars!"
Zhu Yu raised his hand and quoted without haste:
"Three thousand five hundred dollars."
Women don’t want to give up:
"Three thousand six hundred dollars!"
Under the auctioneer's repeated twang, the price quickly rose to $6,800, and the woman gave up.
The three Jewish brothers are still insisting, but the scope of the price increase when quoting is much smaller:
"Seven thousand dollars!"
Zhu Yu still increased the price slowly. He felt that even if the price increase exceeded 20,000, these things would still be profitable.
Soon, as the two men chased each other, the price rose to twelve thousand dollars. The three Jewish brothers raised their hands and added the last price:
"Twelve thousand five hundred dollars!"
Zhu Yu followed closely:
"Thirteen thousand dollars!"
The auctioneer was very excited. Although only two people raised their bids, the current auction price was much higher than expected, which meant that his commission would also be greatly increased.
That's why the auctioneer's eyes became eager when he looked at Zhu Yu!
It's a pity that the three Jewish brothers saw that Zhu Yu still refused to give up, so they immediately stopped increasing the price. The leader of the brothers showed his hands and expressed that he would no longer participate in this auction.
"Thirteen thousand US dollars. Thirteen thousand US dollars. This famous treasure hunter from China bids thirteen thousand US dollars. Is there any increase in price? Is there any thirteen thousand US dollars? The first time is thirteen thousand US dollars. The second time
Thirteen thousand dollars is the third time. Congratulations to Zhu for successfully photographing this container!"
As the auctioneer finished his long words, the container finally belonged to Zhu Yu.
The other treasure hunters watched Zhu Yu go to pay, some were envious, some were jealous, and some felt that Zhu Yu would definitely make a big mistake this time.
The eldest of the three Jewish brothers came over and stretched out his hand to Zhu Yu:
"Hello Zhu, my name is Ralph, nice to meet you! We have just joined the team of treasure hunters, and we hope to become the best in this field like you!"
Zhu Yu smiled and shook hands with the three brothers and said:
"I can see that you have a good vision and you will succeed!"
The three brothers happily went to see the third container.
Jason whispered:
"These three people are quite powerful."
Zhu Yu also felt the same, but it had little impact on him.
He and Jason moved out the huge dashboard that blocked the view, and then exposed the items and boxes behind it.
Some people watching the excitement immediately screamed in surprise.
Those two nitrogen balloons attracted everyone's attention.
Take out the boxes and nitrogen balloons. The remaining machine is too heavy, so just leave it there.
After opening the box, Zhu Yu was fine, but Jason couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Oh! Why did this thing appear here? Is it really okay?"
Inside the box were two sets of space suits that looked very complete, at least 80% new!
This is really a set of aerospace equipment that is gone!
It might be equipment on a space shuttle or spacecraft or even a space station!
Zhu Yu also expressed surprise for a moment, and then started taking pictures. None of the people he knew so far could accept this thing.
After seeing the photo, Old John took the initiative to call:
"Zhu, you really opened my eyes this time! I have been at the port for decades, and I have seen even a dozen dead people being transported out of containers, but I have never seen aerospace equipment being transported out of containers!"
Zhu Yu felt it was worthwhile to be able to surprise Old John so much. He smiled and said:
"So John, do you have anyone who buys these things? I spent more than ten thousand dollars on this pile of junk, and I don't want them to end up in the trash!"
"No, no, no, how can these be rags?" Old John said with a smile, "They are treasures, at least in the eyes of many people, they are treasures! Wait a moment, I will make a call and someone will contact you.
of!"
After a while, a call came in. The other person was very urgent and formal:
"Hello, Zhu, my name is Martin. John introduced me that you have a batch of aerospace equipment there, right? Where are you now?"
Zhu Yu reported the name of the goods yard.
"wait for me!"
After Martin finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Zhu Yu felt that Martin had a soldier's style. He didn't say any unnecessary words or get too close. It seemed that this transaction should be very simple.
Half an hour later, a large van drove into the cargo yard. At this time, Zhu Yu and Jason were the only ones in the cargo yard, and everyone else had packed up and left.
The co-pilot got out of the car, a middle-aged white man with a slight bald head, who looked very energetic. He stretched out his hand to Zhu Yu:
"Hello Zhu, I'm Martin, are these Jiangxi?"
Before Zhu Yu could answer, Martin had already let go, put on his gloves and stepped forward to inspect these things.
"Yes...this is the instrument panel of the space shuttle, well, that's them...this is the standard space suit from the beginning of this century, but it can still be used..."
Martin was very professional and checked them one by one, including the engine-like thing in the container that looked almost abandoned.
After the inspection, Martin walked back to Zhu Yu and said:
"I want to purchase these things. The specific quotation is as follows: the instrument panel of the space shuttle is US$7,000, each space suit is US$6,000, the two nitrogen bottles are US$6,500 each, and the power equipment with some problems is US$10,000.
How about five thousand dollars, a total of forty-seven thousand dollars?"
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
“I think the price is fair, deal!”
The cost was 13,000, the transaction price was 47,000, and the net profit was 34,000 US dollars.
This business is really worthwhile!
Helping Martin load things into the truck and transport them away, Jason asked Zhu Yu:
"Boss, shall we continue today?"
"No." Zhu Yu shook his head, took out a thousand dollars and handed it to Jason: "Go back and rent a large truck, and tomorrow you will take your brothers and me to buy Laomei's old house."
Jason declined:
"Boss, we don't need so much."
"The rest is your salary today." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "Save more and rent a larger place to live. It won't be convenient for the four of you to squeeze into a container."
Jason smiled and took the money.
Zhu Yu drove away. He made 32,000 yuan in the morning and 34,000 yuan in the afternoon. If he does this a few more times, his cash will reach 200,000 yuan.
But Zhu Yu thought that it would be almost a month before he had to file his taxes.
Seeing that it was still early, Zhu Yu called Paul, asked John for advice, and then went to pay taxes.
After paying the tax, tens of thousands were suddenly lost. Zhu Yu could only lament that to make money quickly, it must be the old American tax system!
There is no need to do this at all. A considerable part of the money you earn must be given to them!
It’s not okay if you don’t pay!
