Chapter 6 The Big Fish in the Lake
Smith paused on the steering wheel, then pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"Unfortunately, your great-grandfather's will stipulated that if you insist on selling the fish farm, the St. John's government will directly nationalize it, meaning you won't get a single penny."
Shen Fei's eyes widened in disbelief. He had thought it was a windfall, but it turned out to be a piece of iron.
Shen Fei still didn't want to give up the opportunity and tried to persuade Smith, arguing, "Do you think I can develop this fish farm that has nothing at all?"
Smith rolled down the car window, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and gazed ahead as he leisurely replied, "I believe you!"
"Because you are the successor chosen by your great-grandfather."
"Back then, your great-grandfather was a foreigner with yellow skin and black eyes. He started from scratch and built a huge business. I've known him for decades. He was a very good person, capable and ambitious. Your starting point is much better than his."
"If he can do it, why can't you?"
Smith became more and more excited as he spoke, and accidentally slapped the horn on the steering wheel. The car horn blared, and a ripple quickly spread through Shen Fei's mind.
Yes, he was only thinking about taking advantage of the situation and running away; he never intended to set up camp here.
The main reason is that he and his great-grandfather had never met since childhood, or had met but did not remember each other, so he could not feel any affection for them.
Smith bombarded him with questions, which ignited his competitive spirit.
Since the fish farm cannot be resold, there is only one option left.
If his great-grandfather could start from scratch when he was penniless, why can't he?
If that doesn't work, we can slowly persuade Smith to sell the fish farm. He'll probably find a way to avoid it being nationalized.
Seeing that Shen Fei remained silent for a long time, Smith took another puff of his cigarette and comforted him, "Don't worry, I've known your great-grandfather for many years, and I will definitely help you. You're not fighting alone."
Shen Fei's dejected face finally regained a bit of spirit.
This is the only piece of good news we've received so far.
In capitalist countries, lawyers and dentists are considered the upper class, and they wield considerable influence.
The next day, the town's tax office finally opened for business, and it took the two of them several hours to complete the formalities.
From this moment on, the Dasheng Fishing Ground, located in Kaohai Town, officially belongs to Shenfei.
At the same time, he also received some bad news.
It turns out that Canada doesn't have an inheritance tax. Shen Fei had checked online before leaving the country, but he didn't expect that while there is indeed no inheritance tax, there is a probate tax!
Capitalist countries are cunning.
What's the difference between these two?
You still have to pay money.
The tax rate in Newfoundland and Labrador is only levied on estates exceeding $2.5. This means that Shen Fei would have to pay a will verification tax of $52 Canadian dollars, which is equivalent to 300 million yuan.
Shen Fei was so angry that his teeth ached.
By the time he learned of this news, it was already too late to back down.
They had no choice but to reluctantly complete the inheritance procedures.
The good news is that the $52 estate verification tax can be deferred for several years.
Otherwise, with his entire fortune of less than 5000 RMB, even selling him wouldn't be enough to cover one-tenth of the tax revenue.
"Don't worry, as long as you run the fish farm well, you'll pay off your taxes in less than a year. I have faith in you, young man."
"Now, let me accompany you to officially inspect your Great Sage Fish Farm!"
Smith, standing nearby, chuckled and offered Shen Fei a word of comfort.
Shen Fei was already on the pirate ship, and Smith had completed half of his mission, so he felt much more relaxed.
The two returned to the abandoned manor in the Great Sage Fishing Grounds.
After taking stock, Smith found that some household items were missing. He started the rented car again, leaving Shen Fei at the manor. "I'll go to town to buy you some supplies. You can stay here tonight, and the cleaning will be your job."
Before Shen Fei could say anything, Smith started the car and disappeared from his sight.
Having no other choice, Shen Fei picked up the broom and rag inside and did a thorough cleaning.
He started with the bedroom on the second floor.
The manor was fully furnished, with all the necessary cooking utensils. He also found several grills in the storage room, and the sofas and beds were carefully covered with cloths. Shen Fei first opened the windows to keep the room ventilated.
Then I spent half an hour cleaning the master bedroom and living room on the second floor.
He was soon covered in sweat.
When you get tired, lean against the balcony, look at the shimmering lake in the distance, feel the cool sea breeze blowing on you, and breathe in the fresh air with its salty smell. All the fatigue in your body will be swept away instantly.
With such a beautiful scene, where the water and sky blend seamlessly, how could we forget a short video?
Shen Fei's youthful exuberance was quickly unleashed. He excitedly took out his phone, logged into the newly downloaded TikTok app, and pointed the phone at himself.
"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Fei. I come from China and am currently in St. John's City, Canada, which is a well-known fishing ground in Newfoundland."
"My Great Sheng Fish Farm is located in the Newfoundland Fish Farm. Look, this is my new home. From today onwards, I will be living here alone."
"Okay, actually I'm a fish farm owner."
Shen Fei hadn't filmed many videos before, so he was a bit hesitant. But he gradually became more skilled. He first filmed the house for a short while, then went to the balcony and aimed directly at the lake, which was more than ten meters away.
While taking pictures, Shen Fei suddenly exclaimed "Holy crap!" It turned out that through his phone screen, he saw a large carp emerging from a patch of water plants by the lake.
The carp was about a meter long, with its dark blue back exposed, lying motionless by the water's edge.
This was the first time Shen Fei had ever seen such a large carp in his life, and he couldn't help but exclaim "Holy crap!"
His eyes darted around, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind. He grabbed his phone and ran quickly to the storage room on the first floor.
He remembered that when he inspected the furniture earlier, there was a tool that looked like a trident.
If you can spear the fish up with a fork, wouldn't you be able to cook a big meal for yourself that night?
Worried that the carp would escape, Shen Fei held the trident in one hand and the phone screen in the other in less than a minute, continuing to record the video.
Before long, Shen Fei arrived at the lakeside and gradually slowed down his pace.
The fish was still there.
