American Ranch

Chapter 342 Steamed Mud Crab

The aborigines took out five blue crabs from the bucket.

Five blue crabs occupied most of the bucket, they were strung up with ropes and handed to Chen Mo.

A huge crab, the kind that's hard to hold with one hand.The other two are estimated to be about one catty, and the remaining two are also half a catty in size.

Chen Mo lifted it up and weighed it: "How much?"

"No need." The aboriginal smiled and shook his head.

"How can this be? It's not easy for you to catch these crabs." Chen Mo didn't know the approximate price of these crabs, took out his wallet, counted six 50 dollar bills and handed them to the other party: "Is this enough?"

"My name is Paralejo, and I'm your employee... It doesn't cost money. These blue crabs are not expensive..." The aborigine quickly backed away, with a smile like crying on his face: "Boss, I was wrong, I shouldn't secretly Come catch your crab."

Chen Mo was slightly taken aback: "Oh, be careful..." Paralejo stepped back and tripped over a rock, and almost fell down. Chen Mo pulled him quickly with sharp eyes.

"It's alright."

"It's okay, thank you Boss."

"If these crabs are sold, how much will they cost?"

"The big one costs about $1 per pound (two or three catties), the small one costs about $30, and the smaller one costs about $23. Boss, I'm fine, I'll go back first." Paralejo As soon as he said that, he wanted to leave.

This person, Chen Mo smiled speechlessly: "Wait..." Seeing that he refused to accept the money, Chen Mo put away his wallet: "Are you on the night shift?"

"Yes." Paralejo nodded with a smile.

The entire southern part of the oasis, including the coastline, and the 1-meter sea area in front of the coastline belong to the boss's private property.Although South Point Park is still open, it will be closed for some reason...

He is a technician at the South Island Wind Power Station, which also belongs to the owner.I was picking up seafood on the boss's site, I don't know... Paralejo was a little nervous.

"It's still early, tell me what delicious seafood you can pick up on the beach." Chen Mo was also very curious about catching the sea, said.

"Oh... There are a lot of seafood that can be picked up, shells, golden scallops are more common..." Chen Mo couldn't understand some of the local names that Paralejo said.As far as the golden scallops understood, he showed the goods in the bucket, including clams (hairy clams), white clams, and red shells, some shells like sea melon seeds... In addition, there are pointed snails the size of little fingers, The dirty-looking girl snail (treasure snail, peach color, seems to be called peach blossom treasure snail, I can hardly look directly at it), and there is a big vein snail...

After chatting with Paralejo for a while, the sun climbed overhead, and Chen Mo picked up the crab and went back to the car.Paralejo drove a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, and the two of them, one in front of the other, drove along the potholed dirt road towards South Point Park...

This one is only suitable for off-road vehicles, preferably modified off-road vehicles.Riding a four-wheel drive off-road is actually the most suitable.

Chen Mo was driving the Ford Raptor pickup, and it was a bit difficult for the bumps...

Back home, Chen Xiao had already cooked the meal, and edited the video in the living room: "Brother."

Chen Mo lifted the big blue crab on the handle: "Look, a super big blue crab."

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up: "It's time to make another food video, where did you buy it?"

"At Paya Bay, it was given by an aboriginal employee." It's funny to say that there are only 5 employees in the cute ranch now, and Chen Mo hasn't recognized him yet.

Chen Mo met Paralejo. He visited the wind power station a few days ago. At that time, Paralejo was wearing work clothes.Today's Paralejo, with hats...

It is an ordinary employee and a Polynesian. I saw it a few days ago, and I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. It’s normal not to remember it now.

Chen Mo opened the refrigerator to take out some ice cubes, frozen the crabs, and then went to boil water.

"Are you going to steam?" Chen Xiao's cheeks twitched slightly.

"Such a big blue crab, steaming is the best. These crabs are caught in clean seas, steamed directly, and taste the original taste."

Steam live crab...

"You are too cruel, you can't kill it and then steam it."

"You like to eat it or not, and if you don't eat it, you're going to let it go. When did you become so condescending." Wait for the water to grill, put down the grid, and throw the frozen crabs in the ice water directly, and then start making the sauce.

Soy sauce, vinegar, horseradish, some minced ginger, and it's done.

Chen Xiao hurriedly brought the camera and started filming...

"When did the camera arrive?" Chen Mo asked.

"Morning, after you go out."

"Has my fishing rod been delivered yet?"

"It's here, it's on the cabinet in the living room." Chen Xiao said and began to shoot: "Today's delicacy is blue crab, and we will wait patiently now..."

Chen Mo went back to the living room to fiddle with the fishing rods for online shopping.

Chen Mo bought 5 fishing rods at a time, including two long rods for cliff fishing, a 6-meter rod for recreational fishing, and two sea rods for boats.

I bought a large ranch on the island, which is close to the coast, and there is a fishing resort in Nanjiao Park. If I don’t fish here and enjoy life, I’m so sorry for myself.

Chen Xiao only recorded the beginning of a video in the kitchen, turned off the camera and came out: "Brother, how much tax have you paid this year."

"Almost 2.5 million." Chen Mo raised his head and said, "Why?"

"Why is this?"

"That's all..." Chen Mo almost vomited blood, 2.5 million US dollars is only this, and he can buy a super luxury yacht.

"Your income this year is not three or four billion. How did you pay $40 million? How did you do it?"

"You don't have to file taxes, so what are you asking for?"

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "Curiosity."

Chen Xiao and Chen Chen are only temporary green cards, and have never applied for official green cards.Spot gold is London gold, and they operate with HSBC bank accounts.The profitable funds are still in HSBC Bank...

"I only reported a profit of 8.77 million U.S. dollars. The rest of the money is still an option that has not been settled..." Options, a bank bond wealth management product of 33 billion U.S. dollars.

8.77 million US dollars, the reported net profit.

That leaves $33 billion, with principal on the books, expected profits, and a hidden contract. The 33 billion will be settled in three years, so there is no need to declare taxes now...

Tax avoidance is also risky.

The 33 billion tax avoidance is not much different from temporary tax evasion.To do 33 billion tax avoidance projects, ordinary accounting firms really can't do it, and Chen Mo dare not entrust them to do it.

If the tax return is made in full this year, Chen Mo will have to pay at least US$10 billion.

All 33 billion will be exchanged for options, that is, bond wealth management products, with a holding period of 3 years.The U.S. tax law stipulates that those who hold stocks and options for more than one year for a long time do not need to pay capital gains tax.Three years later, it can be operated simply, with 33 billion US dollars, the tax to be paid is only about 4.5 million US dollars...

And 33 billion still has 5.00% interest in the bank.

Why buy such bank options.

Why do you need a bank loan when you have money...

And why do you have to declare 8.77 million at one time.Even tax money has to be borrowed from the bank, why not keep some extra money...

It's a good idea to borrow money.

Chen Mo now owes the bank US$2.536 million and will borrow another US$2 million from the bank.This owes the bank $4.536 million at an interest rate of [-] percent.

These are the money borrowed from the bank after filing taxes, and are used to invest in pastures and expand the production scale of pastures.

Bank borrowings are on the books, notably $2.436 million of which is used to pay this year's income taxes.

Next year, Valley Ranch, or Chen Mo, will definitely not make hundreds of millions of dollars in profit.Then you will be able to declare a loss next year...

Trump knows who it is.

Trump declared a loss of more than $1995 million in his personal income tax return in 9, which allows him to exempt tax on his $18 million in annual income for the next 5000 years.

As long as it is not the super super rich, the vast majority of rich people buy their money into options and stocks.Borrow from the bank when you need money...

Especially if you suddenly make a large sum of money in a certain year, you must deal with this income in advance.Otherwise, wait until the tax bureau comes to your door, and wait for a large piece of meat to be bitten off.

Using the option income to offset the loan interest, Chen Mo's loan interest is only [-]%.Although the big funds have been frozen, for Chen Mo who just wanted to keep his wealth safely, this method couldn't be more simple and worry-free.
