Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 192 148. Tariffs on Imported Cars
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, at the freight parking lot of Haijin Port, the special steel bars imported by Sanzang from Dongwa had already been loaded onto the trucks.

A brand new car was quietly parked beside the truck, with straight and tough lines and shiny black paint.
The wide and flat body, the square headlights, the front grille with vertical strips, and a lot of chrome-plated decorations, all reveal a strong high-end business atmosphere.

Several on-site staff members were already surrounded by the car, discussing and admiring in low voices.

Sanzang stood at the window of the customs tax payment office and went through the payment procedures, looking at the payment list in his hand, he couldn't help being speechless.

原来这时候的海关轿车排量3.0升以上的整车进口关税税率为150％，排量3.0升以下的整车进口关税税率为120％，再过两年还得再交80％的进口调节税。

The Duke King 430 model he bought is equipped with a 2.8-liter L28 inline engine and needs to pay a 120% tariff, which is more expensive than the price of the car itself.

"Comrade! Can I pay foreign exchange?"

"Oh! Of course!" The staff replied in surprise, and then looked at him with eyes that looked like a fool, perhaps with admiration.

The customs staff have a deep understanding of how rare foreign exchange is now. At this time, most of the exports are some raw materials, aquatic products, etc. At this time, someone sends them foreign exchange. Wouldn’t it be surprising?

Sanzang also wants to understand now that he is a small person at best, and earning foreign exchange for the country is the greatest contribution he can make, including paying tariffs with foreign exchange.

The national currency in his hand has to be reserved for dividends to the shareholders of the factory, wages for the workers and the construction of the new factory building.

"What foreign currency do you have?"

"Yen! Is it okay?"

"Of course! Yen is also a reserve foreign exchange. Wait a minute, I'll convert it for you!"

Sanzang originally planned to pay the tariffs in US dollars, but fortunately he made two-handed preparations.

When he was chatting with Yan Ling last night, he suddenly discovered a very unreasonable thing.

现在日元兑国币的汇率是1万日元兑701元国币，日元兑美金汇率是242.1日元兑1美金，美金兑国币汇率是1美金兑1.92元国币。

Taking 1 yen as an example, it is 41.3 U.S. dollars when it is converted into US dollars, and then it is 79 yuan when it is converted into national currency, but it is 701 yuan when it is directly converted into national currency.

Sanzang didn't know how to use this information for the time being, but when he was chatting with Yanling last night, he remembered that Dongwa was providing a large amount of interest-free loans to the country.

It seems that he needs to remind Boss Duan that if it is measured in US dollars, he should insist on repaying in Japanese yen.

After the signing of the Plaza Accord in 85, the yen will appreciate by more than 2 times against the US dollar.
If you pay it back in US dollars, you will have to pay it back three times. I hope you won’t make the same mistakes and suffer this big loss again.

In the long run, the U.S. dollar has also been depreciating. If you insist on repaying the debt in U.S. dollars, you will have double benefits, Nice!
"Comrade! Comrade!" The staff knocked on the window, interrupting Sanzang who was meditating.

"Oh! How much should I pay?"

"I calculated, you should pay 361 yen!"

"Okay!" Sanzang opened the handbag, first took out three stacks (one stack of 100 sheets), put them on the counter, and pushed them to the staff. Fortunately, the maximum face value of the yen is 1 yuan.

"Here is 300 million, you count it first! I will count the remaining fractions for you!"

"Okay!" The staff took it, and the financial section chief she called just now came with two professional financial personnel. She didn't know Japanese yen, and it would be a disaster if she received fake money.

After a while, Sanzang counted the remaining change and put it on the counter, and handed it over.

"It's left over!"

"it is good!"

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the money was counted and there was no mistake. The section chief is the section chief. After thinking about it,
"Comrade! May I have another look at your work permit?"

"Of course!" After Sanzang finished speaking, he handed him the work permit of the deputy general manager of Xiaochen Trading Co., Ltd.

The chief of the finance section took it over and looked at it carefully, then wrote something with a pen, and then handed back the work card to Sanzang.

"No problem, thank you!"

The section chief probably understood Sanzang's hidden meaning, reached out his hand and shook him tightly, and then went through the formalities for him himself.

After a while, the section chief handed Sanzang a few receipts, "You can drive the car out with these receipts.
If you encounter traffic police on the road to check the car, you will let them see these things.

Also, after your car arrives at the unit, you need to go to the vehicle supervision office in the jurisdiction to apply for a license plate as soon as possible! "

"Understood! Thank you!"

Sanzang came to the side of the car with the receipt in his left hand and the handbag in his right.
Looking at the surrounding staff, he nodded and handed the receipt to one of the persons in charge.

The person in charge checked the receipt, nodded, then wrote a note with a pen and handed it to Sanzang,

"Here's the clearance slip. Give it to the guard at the gate, and they will let you out!"

"Thank you! Come! Smoke a cigarette!" Sanzang immediately took it over, ready to take out the cigarette from his pocket.

The person in charge's face darkened, "Thank you, smoking is prohibited in the port!"

"Sorry! Sorry! I don't smoke, I don't know!"

"Okay! After completing the formalities, let's leave quickly!"

"Okay! Let's go right away!"

The person in charge looked better, and greeted the other staff members to leave, talking about the car in a low voice while walking.

Seeing the staff walking away, Yu Sandou came over, "Did you get scolded for giving them cigarettes?"

Sanzang nodded, "What? You were arrested for smoking?"

"Hey! You were not here just now. I was caught smoking and fined 5 yuan. What a pity!"

"You can't smoke, but once you introduce fire, it will be terrible. You should also pay attention to it in the future!"

"understand!"

"Okay! Let's go! You lead the way in front, and I will drive behind in a small car. I don't know the way back!"

"Okay! Also, Director Huang, I have to remind you that if you encounter someone calling for help while driving in the future, don't get out of the car to check.

Even the old and the weak, women and children, they may all be accomplices of car bandits and road tyrants.

Unless it's in the city. "

Hearing this, Sanzang nodded with suspicion on his face. Car bandits and road tyrants are very rampant at this time, and it will only get better after three years of security strengthening from next year.

"Then is it safe for us to go this way?"

"This road is not safe, so it's okay, but you should try not to take the small road, I mean, you should pay attention to this situation when you go to other places in the future!"

"Understood! Thank you! If you give me a few fuel tickets, I can run 50 kilometers at most with the fuel in my new car. It would be ridiculous to break down on the road without fuel."

Only when Sanzang took his driver’s license test did he realize that the domestic trucks at that time also burned gasoline.

Tractors only burn diesel, and gas stations only have 66# and 70# gasoline available.

"Okay! I'll get it for you right now!"

When Sanzang took the gas ticket from Yu Sandou, he saw him hesitate to speak,
"What? Brother Three Dou, is there anything else?"

"This……"

"Our relationship is relatively good, if you have something to say, just say it!"

"That's good! My son is going to get married in a few months, can I borrow your car as a wedding car!"

Sanzang thought for a while, "Okay! No problem! But when the time comes, the driver I hired may drive there, and I may not be free!"

"Thank you! Thank you so much! That's great! That's great! I dare not ask you to be a driver."
