Chapter 771: Pebble Beach Auto Show

Xiao Peng was so angry that he threw the phone directly on the bed, but at this time the phone rang suddenly. When Xiao Peng looked at the number, it turned out to be the home phone.
He didn't want to answer the phone. Mom and Dad must talk about himself again, but he couldn't hide, so he had to answer the phone: "Hello, mom?"
"Do you still know that I am your mother? Your heart is too big now, and you don't tell your parents anything, right? You drove a sailing boat and went to the Stars and Stripes, why don't you fly? Go boxing with people, see if you can do you! I can hear people say, that is the champion of boxing! The kind that you haven't lost before, your small body is enough to fight? Are you thinking about it at sea? It broke..." Xiao Peng didn't say a word. His mother over the phone had been talking about it for a long time. "Why don't you speak? Huh?"
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "Mom, you also want to give me a chance to talk? From the time I connected the phone to now, I have no chance to intervene..."
The mother snorted: "Then tell me, what do you think? Why don't you tell the family about such a big thing? You little bastard, is there a mother in your eyes?"
Xiao Peng took a deep breath and controlled his emotions: "Mom, since you let me talk, then I'll talk about it. What's the use of what I told you? What can you help me? Help me manage the fishing ground? I'll go After a trip to Ukraine, the fishery almost followed the family’s last name; helped me go fishing? I stayed at sea for a few months, and all kinds of winds and waves, can your two bodies stand it? Then you say, I What's the point of telling you? I told you that you can make me drive a sailboat and break the world record? If I tell you that I want to fight Mayweather, you can let me do it? Mom, I know you two Love me, but you have to know that I am about to be 25 years old, and I am no longer a child! I can create such a large family business, don’t I know what I should do and what I should not do Yes? I don’t want to annoy you two, but you two calm down and think about it, if I really do everything as you say, can our family have this beautiful day today?"
Xiao Peng can be said to have been suppressed for so long. There is no way. Huaxia's parents are like this. They keep saying for the sake of their children and for the sake of their children. Of course, the fact is the same, but inadvertently, they control their children's lives.
"I scold you for your own good..." Such words are words that every Huaxia child must have heard when they grow up.
Please! Scolding you or for your own good? What kind of ghost logic is this so special?
After Xiao Peng finished speaking, he found that there was no voice on the phone: "Hello? Hello? Mom?" Picking up the phone and looking at it, his mother had already hung up. Xiao Peng scratched his head, did he do too much?
And at this moment in Qindao, Xiao Peng’s house, Chen Aifen was holding the phone and she was crying. Xiao Jianjun was annoyed at this scene: "What did that say? Why are you crying? Give me the phone! I called and scolded. Kill him!"
Chen Aifen clasped his phone tightly and glared at Xiao Jianjun: "Who are you scolding? Our son is much better than you! Why do you scold him?"
"Then why are you crying?" Xiao Jianjun refused to answer.
Chen Aifen wiped her tears: "Our son...he has grown up..."
Xiao Peng called back again. Dad answered the call and realized that his mother was not angry, so he was relieved.
Tsk tsk, mom is true too, don’t hang up if you are happy, look worried me!
Not long after, Eminem came to find Xiao Peng.
He told Xiao Peng good news and bad news. The good news is that the Pebble Beach auction is about to begin. The bad news is: Eminem can't accompany Xiao Peng anymore. He is going back to Las Vegas again. A musical event takes several days. Xiao Peng had to call A Can, and it would be better to have a local guide.
Not long after receiving the call, A Can arrived at the hotel where Xiao Peng was staying. As soon as Xiao Peng went out, she saw A Can leaning on the door of the hotel and waiting for Xiao Peng.
"A Can, your car is good!" Today, A Can drove a Mercedes-Benz G63AMG, which cost more than two million Chinese currency in China.
A Can scratched her head embarrassedly: "Master Ding heard that you were looking for me, so he asked me to drive this car. I bought a car for $120,000. I'm not so luxurious."
"How much? This car is 120,000 US dollars?" Xiao Peng calculated the exchange rate: "Isn't this 810,000 RMB?"
A Chan said: "That's right."
Xiao Peng sighed, "I bought this car in China, and it’s almost 2.3 million Chinese coins. Why is the price difference so much? If you don’t bring the car back from here, then send it?"
A Can started the car and drove towards Pebble Beach with Xiao Peng, and while driving, said: "Mr. Xiao, I am familiar with this matter, let me tell you about it."
"Are you familiar?" Xiao Peng was curious.
A Can nodded and said, "I am staring at the line of the smuggled car in the gang."
Xiao Peng: "..." Your business involves a wide range. . . . . .
A Can continued: "In fact, the reason is very simple. It is the taxation of China Customs, like automobile imports. China Customs collects three types of taxes, 25% tariff and 17% value-added tax. The rest is consumption tax. The lower the volume, the lower the consumption tax. Like this Mercedes-Benz G63AMG, which has a displacement of more than 4.0, it will have to pay a 40% consumption tax."
Xiao Peng shook his fingers and counted: "Doesn't that mean to pay 83% of the car price?"
A Can shook his head: "This is not calculated like this. It has to be calculated separately. Whether it is consumption tax or value-added tax, it has its own calculation formula. Let me make an analogy. We spent 800,000 on this AMG. If you buy it at the after-tax price of RMB, if you want to ship it to China, you need to pay a tariff of 200,000, and a consumption tax of 666,000, plus a value-added tax of 283,000, which means that you have to pay a tariff of 1.15 million. Adding the money to buy the car, this is 1.95 million. Of course, there are other expenses, such as customs clearance, commodity inspection, transportation, banking, optional parts, and dealers have to make money. China’s car price is So born."
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "800,000 cars, 1.15 million tariffs? That's right?"
A Can nodded and said: "Of course there is no. The most important thing is the consumption tax. Who made this car discharge more than 4.0? It must be the highest tax. If it is less than 1.5, only 1% consumption tax is required. . But unfortunately, luxury cars are large displacement, so in China, the more expensive the car, the higher the price difference with the Stars and Stripes. For example, the super sports version of Bugatti Veyron, which is taxed after the purchase in the United States. The price is about 16 million yuan, but if you buy it in China, that is 43 million, because the customs tariff alone costs 23 million."
Xiao Peng was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then said after a while, "No wonder I read media reports. Which local tyrant bought a car by air. It turned out not to pretend to be forced, but to save money. In comparison, Buying directly from abroad can save a lot of money compared to domestic 4S stores."
Achan said: "Of course, buying a car from abroad requires very troublesome procedures, and the car you buy does not have a warranty, and the gasoline used is different from that in China. So unless a luxury car of more than one million class, it is still not It’s not cost-effective to buy it in a foreign country. For those with a displacement of 4.0 or above, you must think carefully about the consumption tax. It is precisely because of this that smuggled cars have such a market."
Xiao Peng was completely dumbfounded: "I still want to go to Pebble Beach to buy a classic car I like and drive back. How much tax does it cost? It costs millions of dollars to buy a car there."
A Can smiled: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry. China does not allow the import of used cars. If you get them back, you won't be able to get the license plate. If you want to get the car back, there are only two ways. The Huaxia government allows foreign businessmen who have worked in China for more than one year to bring a car into China."
"Next, I am not a foreign businessman." Xiao Peng said.
"Another way is to transport it back for you." Yes, it became a smuggled car.
A Can continued: "Mr. Xiao, don't be afraid to take it back and fail to list it. It is very simple for my customers in China to help you make a deck."
"I bought a car with a few million dollars and turned it into a deck car? I was fine." Xiao Peng said, "Okay, if I want to ship it back, there should be no problem. Just find someone. , Let’s see if there is a suitable car. If we don’t see it, everything will be useless."
"Of course. But Mr. Xiao, when a man goes to the Pebble Beach Auto Show, he usually finds his favorite car."
"Is it that exaggerated? My requirements are very high."
A Chan smiled: "You'll know when you go."
Facts have proved that A Can is right. The Pebble Beach Auto Show only exhibits 175 cars every year. Among them, Xiao Peng himself has taken a fancy to at least 150 cars. . . . .
It definitely makes sense to be called the most luxurious auto show in the world. The cars that come here to participate in the exhibition are generally subject to awards. Many judges specifically evaluate the exhibited cars based on the degree of repair of the model and the reliability of the vehicle. The design and styling of the model are judged separately, and then classified according to the brand, model and body manufacturer, country of origin or production time, and finally the best car in each type of model is evaluated. That means that the auction price will rise sharply. Some cars of the same model and the same model can be sold at sky-high prices, and some are not cared about because of these details.
Every year there are several luxury cars with prices that shock the world.
Collecting antique cars is very marketable in Europe and the United States, and this is especially true for cars going out from the Pebble Beach Auto Show.
That would be equivalent to a diamond-encrusted ID card ------ all valuable!
