American Ranch

Chapter 332

The Equanimity parked quietly outside Long Beach Harbor in Los Angeles.

The Bell 206 landed smoothly on the rear deck of the yacht, and Chen Mo jumped off the plane first...

All the formalities of this yacht have been completed, and it is now ready to leave.

45 meters long, high-strength high-quality marine steel construction, full displacement design, so that it has a strong hull like an ocean-going ship, and is equipped with complete equipment that can sail in the seven oceans of the world, enough to cope with any sea conditions that may occur, unlimited navigation area ...

The yacht has been on several expeditions to Antarctica.In cruising mode, the speed of the ship is 22 knots per hour, and it can have a super endurance of more than 4800 nautical miles.At 30 nautical miles per hour, it also has an endurance of nearly 3000 nautical miles...

The interior of the yacht is as luxurious as power supply, with two layers of splints, equipped with spacious salons and restaurants.The cab has a wide view. Although it is an expedition yacht, as long as it goes out to sea, you can also have the driving experience of a private luxury yacht...and it is equipped with 1 master bedroom, 6 guest bedrooms, and 6 sailor cabins.

It is an expedition yacht, but also a palace on the sea.

1690 million US dollars, or during the financial crisis, the luxury of this yacht can be seen...

After fixing the helicopter, the yacht set sail, heading north along the coastline at an increasingly faster speed, and finally reached a speed of about 30 knots.That's about 55 kilometers per hour...not a bad speed.

Ron toured the yacht around and came to the driving seat.

The yacht has two steering positions, one in the bow.Another open-air front splint on the top floor, open-air driving, feeling the sun, waves and wind.

Driving such a yacht to sea is something Ron dare not even think about. At this moment, he is sitting in the driver's seat on the open-air plywood on the top floor, listening to the interim captain explain the performance and history of this yacht... In fact, it's nothing The history is that this yacht was delivered only 15 years ago, and it went to the South Pole several times and the North Pole once.

55 kilometers per hour is really not fast.

He arrived in Monterey Bay after dark, and Bai Xiaoou still had something to do, so he left the yacht by plane and returned to Napa on the way.

Chen Mo and the others stayed on the yacht for one night, discussing how to dispose of the yacht.

In the end, Ron made up his mind to re-register the yacht and change the purpose of the yacht to make it a comprehensive fishing boat, mainly for spinning line fishing, crabbing, shrimping, passenger sightseeing and tourism.It is very troublesome to apply for the registration of a fishing boat. For such a yacht, the annual docking fee and maintenance cost are not small.And the cost of using it is about the same as Chen Mo's private jet...

"How about registering the fishing boat in Hawaii. I bought a ranch in Hawaii and own a private economic sea area." Chen Mo said.

"Private economic sea area?" Ron was a fisherman, and he knew more about these things than Chen Mo, and asked with some doubts.

Chen Mo shrugged: "It's a piece of sea area that belongs to me personally. It is allowed to build a wharf, and commercial fishing, fishing in the sea, etc. can be carried out." You can fish, catch fish, catch crabs, collect shells, etc., but you cannot use nets to catch fish. fish.Nor can it be farmed in the sea...

Hawaii is a place that relies on the sea and does not eat the sea. In order to protect the environment and coral resources, fishing and aquaculture are prohibited in Hawaii.

The sea water in Hawaii is extremely clear. In many places, you can see the coral reefs at a depth of tens of meters or even tens of meters...

In such a clear sea area, there are naturally quite strict regulations on environmental protection.

On the coast of Hawaii, there are no traces of artificially cultured seafood, no fishing boats, and even a little bit of fishy smell.

This is because of legislation: prohibiting fishing production in Hawaii, prohibiting the construction of fishing ports on the coast, and prohibiting artificial breeding in the sea.This is to ensure the original ecology of the Hawaiian islands and protect the coastal and marine environment.

Fish in restaurants in Hawaii is much more expensive than in California, because fishing is prohibited in Hawaii.The fish here are all caught by hand. All the fresh sea fish sold in restaurants in Hawaii are caught by standard rods or airlifted from other places...

Even if it is a private sea area, artificial breeding cannot be carried out in the sea.But commercial fishing is allowed. In other words, as long as the fish come to Chen Mo's private waters, they are Chen Mo's people, but they can only fish, or use the specified spear gun, or catch with bare hands, anyway, they can't use nets.

Of course, Chen Mo can build a marine farm, but not in the sea.

The ocean in Hawaii is quite developed, and you can’t see it from Honolulu, but on the Big Island of Hawaii, Chen Mo knows several marine farms, some of which raise abalone. It seems to be the largest abalone farm in the United States, with an annual output of more than 30 tons. .Honolulu... Oahu also has farming, fish pond farming, which has a history of more than 800 years.

Seafood can be farmed, but the breeding base is on land.

Ron breathed a sigh of relief. If Chen Mo's private sea area in Hawaii is the same as the private sea area on the east coast of the United States, it would be amazing and amazing.

Private sea area, to put it bluntly, is a private fishing ground...

Then let's talk about the place where the yacht is registered.Register the yacht to Hawaii, and Chen Mo will build a private port there in the future. It is indeed possible to register the yacht in the past.Moreover, Hawaii is a world-famous tourist destination, and yachts can better develop their commercial value there.Such as organizing trips to deep sea fishing, yacht rental, etc...

As a result of the discussion, Ellie transferred 700 million US dollars to her father, and then ignored it.

In fact, there is nothing to modify this yacht, except to add a large freezer to the yacht.Almost, on the line...

There is a small town called Moss Landing in Monterey Bay. It is a fishing town with several shipyards.At noon of the same day, the yacht was driven to refuel and check... It was about to go ocean, heading to Hawaii.

The yacht is full of 1.43 gallons of fuel, and it costs more than 4 US dollars to fill it up.The standard equipment for a yacht to set sail is one captain, two engineers, two sailors, and five people as standard...

The yacht is going to set sail for Hawaii in a few days, and Ron is going to recruit his old friends...

Chen Mo has nothing to do...he is still busy receiving the plane, and Ellie is going back to school to prepare for the final exam.

Going back to the ranch at dawn, Ellie packed up her things: "When are you going to Hawaii?"

"In a few days, after the pilot of the plane is found, I may go directly to Hawaii." Chen Mo gently pinched Ellie's baby-fat face: "You will have a holiday for more than ten days, and we won't be apart for too long .”

"Well, okay, then I'm going back to school. Oh, and it's tax season, and I should also file taxes. I don't know much about this. How should I file taxes?" Ellie said pitifully.She has to pay a lot of taxes this year, because she has an extra luxury yacht under her name, and there are tens of millions of funds in her account...

"Leave the tax declaration to the bank. When are you free tomorrow, I will go there with you."

"I do not know……"

Tax returns are simple.Especially personal tax, how much money is left in the account, and probably spent this year, calculate it yourself, and then declare the tax you need to pay, the tax bureau will not be particularly strict.Sometimes I have reported too much, and the tax bureau has to refund it... Basically, the total tax declaration amount is not less than this year's expenses, and it is almost enough.

Land tax, these can't escape anyway.Then there is corporate tax, which must also be clearly declared.

Everyone in the United States is not as honest as it is said on the Internet. Everyone pays income tax automatically...especially free investors, operators...ordinary people with wages, most of whom pay taxes honestly.But as self-employed individuals, investors, and bosses, almost no one will pay taxes honestly, especially personal income tax, which is all changing tricks to avoid taxes.Because these are perfectly legal...

The simplest tax avoidance is to invest this year's income and turn it into stocks and bonds and hold it all the time.When you need money, just mortgage the stocks and bonds to the bank and then loan...
