I became a billionaire by raising fish

4. My Poseidon Heart

As the fishing boat moved forward, the appearance of the island became clearer and clearer, but Tom's enthusiastic heart became colder.

Originally, he thought that this fishing ground would be a paradise, but what appeared in front of him was a deserted island with a decent area.

From the boat, there are also some bungalows and buildings on the island, but the number is sparse. Auerbach said that it is "'farewell town'". Tom thinks that this town may have the population of the two villages in his hometown, and the number is estimated to be less than two. thousand.

Because of the early spring, this small island not far from the Arctic Circle is still in winter climate. The island is full of unmelted snow. In addition, there is a small snow-capped mountain that occupies half of the island...

There are six or seven small piers around the island. Without exception, these piers are messy and dirty. A large number of broken fishing nets are entangled on the reefs on the shore, and there are small fishing boats with rough workmanship docked on the coast at will.

But Auerbach was right. The air here is very fresh. After getting used to the faint fishy smell of the sea, it does have a sweet taste.

"Damn, the original ecology." Tom smiled wryly.

His fishing ground is at the southernmost end of the island, and a circle of maple trees of different lengths encloses a manor. It's worth a lot of money, but unfortunately, this is Canada, which is estimated to be the cheapest place in the world.

When we got to the fishing ground, Tom couldn't stay, because the house inside had not been cleaned for a long time.

Auerbach sent him to rest in a small inn with ancient charm in the town, saying that he would take him to pay taxes and go through formalities in the afternoon.

Tom was exhausted, and when he got to the hotel he fell asleep on the bed.

In the dream, when Tom was dreaming of taking a luxury cruise ship and holding the all-powerful beauty of all countries, someone woke him up, opened his eyes, and saw that it was Auerbach's majestic old face.

"I'll sleep a little longer, I'm dead sleepy." Tom hugged the pillow and didn't let go.

Auerbach smiled, took out his Nokia mobile phone, and showed him a photo. The photo was of a beautiful woman with gentle eyes and a smile. It was the flight attendant who comforted Tom on the plane before.

"You candid?" Tom cried.

Auerbach shook his head and said, "You will know when I am my age, boy, women are like bones! However, I believe this photo can cure your bedridden."

Indeed, seeing the gentle and beautiful female stewardess, Tom was sober.

Auerbach explained:

"You need jet lag now, so you can't sleep during the day, even if you're sleepy, you can endure it. When you get a good night's sleep, then I swear to God, you'll adjust to Canada's time in the future."

Tom scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly:

"Mr. Auerbach, I don't think this is necessary. Hehe, my one, hehe, I plan to sell this fishery and bring cash back to China."

"I'm sorry, lad."

Auerbach did not despise him after hearing his words but laughed.

"It seems that you didn't study your grandfather will seriously. There is one thing in his will that the fishery cannot be sold. If you insist on selling it, the St. John's government will forcibly nationalize it!"

Tom is messy all of a sudden, second grandpa, what are you kidding? Are you really planning to let your unpromising grandson inherit your career? Then you have to see if your eldest grandson has this ability and talent!

Auerbach encouraged:

"Come on, boy, my grandfather and I are close friends. He told me that he is optimistic that you will definitely make this fishery a world-famous super fishery in the future, and you can make Newfoundland fishing great again."

Tom grimaced, and countless curse words whizzed through his heart: What's the use of him acknowledging me!

"Come on, let's go to the town's tax office to confirm the tax you're going to pay."

Auerbach finally gave Tom a hard blow, letting him know that there is no pie in the sky, only a discus!

"I still have to pay taxes? I asked you when I was in China, and you said that Canada has no inheritance tax!"

cried, Tom.

"Yes, there is no estate tax in Canada, but there is a probate tax," Auerbach laughed.

Testamentary taxation means that once the person who made a will dies, his will has the legal effect to deal with his estate.

While the executor is legally entitled to dispose of the estate under the will, when assets are transferred, the will usually need to be verified by the court, an authority, for a fee.

Auerbach told Tom that the tax rate standard in Newfoundland is that the inheritance is more than 25,000, 14,000 for every 1 million, 28,000 for 2 million, and so on. That is to say, Tom has to pay the will tax. CAD 520,000!

Tom was directly angry and shouted, "You lied to me!"

Auerbach said solemnly:

"You can give up this fishing ground and you will receive a 12.8 percent subsidy from the government, which means you can actually get a lot of money."

"But,"

He changed the subject, stared at Tom, and said:

"Do you know how ''GreatQin Fishing Farm'' was established? It was your grandfather, a yellow-skinned foreigner, who, under the scorn and ridicule of countless people, used his wisdom and tenacity, diligence, and vision to spend a thousand It was earned through hard work! Child, your grandfather is the most powerful man I have ever seen! Do you understand what I mean? Don't smear such a man!"

Tom said, "Do you think I want to embarrass the old man? But I have less than 20,000 yuan in my body, and my family has only 200,000 yuan at most. How can I pay 3 million in taxes?"

Auerbach sat beside him and said:

"This tax is actually nine years too late. It doesn't matter if it is nine years later, understands what I mean? You have enough time to make money from the fishing grounds!"

Tom is not a waste, since there is still a chance, why not give it a shot?

The town’s tax bureau only had one to three-five work hours. Auerbach asked about it. He said that the town was not well managed, and the government couldn’t raise wages. It could only reduce the working hours of civil servants to reduce their wages.

Tom didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the leaders of Canada seemed to be having a hard time, which made him a little more worried about the future of his fishery.

Auerbach drives around town in his battered Ford, familiarizing Tom with the environment, but also for relaxation.

After twisting and turning, the car drove to a lake. The ice surface of the lake melted soon, the lake water was extremely clear, and some floating ice cubes were like mirrors.

The lake has beautiful scenery, green water and grass, white ice, and sometimes water birds fly around with their wings, and fish leap out of the water, which is beautiful and rich.

Auerbach said:

"People only know that there are many lakes in Ontario. In fact, there are many lakes in Newfoundland. This small lake is called Treasure Lake. It is said that someone once hid a lot of treasures under the lake..."

"I really want to jump in and take a look," Tom said depressedly.

At this time, a fishing boat came slowly and leisurely, and a stocky middle-aged fisherman waved to Auerbach:

"Hi, Mr. Skelman, are you and your friends coming to Treasure Lake to shoot fish? Come on, let's do it together."

Anyway, to relax, Auerbach took Tom to the fishing boat and introduced them:

"Fishing is an activity that has only emerged in North America in recent years, come on... oh, damn it!"

Before he could finish his words, the fishing boat alerted a large carp that was about a meter long underwater. The carp jumped when it was frightened. It jumped up and caught the three people on board by surprise. The fisherman and Auerbach avoided subconsciously, and Tom was stupid. Standing at the stern of the boat in a daze, he was swept by the fan-like fish tail on his face and swept directly into the lake.

"Hurry up and save people!"

Auerbach shouted anxiously.

The carp's tail was very rough, and the tail was sharp as a knife, and it cut Tom's chin all at once.

Tom felt as if he had been hit by a car, and fell into the water in a fancy rollover. No one noticed. At this moment, the blood dripping from his chin happened to drip on the one thrown from his chest. On the Poseidon's Heart Jewel!

At the same time as he fell into the water, Tom felt that his eyes were blue as if he was not entering a clear green lake, but a sea. The lake was pouring into his nostrils, and he even smelled the salty smell of the sea.

Immediately he saw that the Seagod's Heart was floating in the water, and the blue light in his eyes came from the Seagod's Heart!

The blue light flashed away, and right in front of Tom, the heart of the sea god turned into a thick blue light and penetrated into his body!

Tom was pulled into the fishing boat, and his expression was a little dazed because at that moment, a dazed picture appeared in front of him:

The water was rippling, the sea grass was swaying, and a few slap-length catfish happily emerged from the muddy bottom of the lake. Then he opened his mouth and happily searched for food and broken algae from the raised muddy water. In addition, when he looked up, he saw a shuttle-shaped thing. Drifting overhead, isn't this the fishing boat he's on now?

But what's going on here? How could he see the scene at the bottom of the lake, and even feel the mood of the catfish?!
