Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 101 Buying a Car
Xie Zihao, who has lived a new life, has tasted these delicacies that once appeared in his memory, and he has to say that the dishes of this old Tang Dynasty restaurant are really delicious. Even in the Middle Earth in his previous life, he wanted to eat such authentic and unique dishes. Delicious food is also not easy.

A celebratory dinner was eaten by the guests and the host. Two foreigners, Thornton and Melinda, experienced this meal. They were conquered by the craftsmanship of Chef Guanghui Xian on the spot, and fell in love with the magical oriental cuisine,

Although Melinda has fallen in love with Tang food from Xie Zihao because she often eats rice, but after all, Xie Zihao's craftsmanship is only at the level of home cooking, and it is not comparable to that of a chef who has worked hard for many years.

As for the other people who are regular customers, it goes without saying.

Xie Zihao went home that night to take a shower and change his clothes.

There is no habit of giving red envelopes when a character dies, but many actors are still a bit taboo about this. After playing a dead character, most of them go back to church to worship or find some gods and psychics to pray for blessings, not to mention European and American people. Don't be superstitious, in fact, Europe and the United States are superstitious, otherwise the Federation of the past life would not be the country with the most shoe education.

As a member of Xuanmen himself, his family is also a white businessman, and he is not taboo about this kind of thing, but it is not auspicious for him to die after acting. Following the traditions of the Middle Earth, he still bathed and changed his clothes. Several times of the Jingjing Sutra and the Pure Heaven and Earth Mantra to eliminate the filth in oneself and the surrounding environment.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Zihao received a call from me for the financial staff of Love Crazy. He could already receive his salary, so he rarely paid for a taxi to rush to the studio.

Xie Zihao was very happy to receive the freshly baked [-] pound cheque.

"I've decided to buy a car now!"

Todd on the side was happier than he was.

"You should also buy a car. How can a man in the Commonwealth not have a car? By the way, do you have a good model? I think the Mustang is good, and the muscle car is powerful enough for a man!"

Xie Zihao shook his head. Although the models produced in the Mustang series are powerful, their bodies are a bit short, a bit like a sports car. He is actually not too comfortable to sit on.

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll take a look at the car shop and then talk about it!"

Todd asked again:

"What's your budget then?"

Xie Zihao looked at the check in his hand, thought of the amount in the account, and said:
"About five thousand to seven thousand pounds!"

Hearing this number, Todd clicked his tongue and said with concern:
"Do you still have enough money? Not enough. I still have a few hundred pounds in deposit here, and I can also cash out part of the credit card..."

Xie Zihao smiled and shook his head and said:
"No, I have a lot of money in my account now. If I leave it alone, I will pay more tax to the IRS."

Although the [-] pounds still have to pay part of the tax, but the car purchase can still deduct part of the tax. In the end, Xie Zihao estimated that he could actually get around [-] pounds.

Todd nodded. As an insider, he certainly knew that this was because the federal government imposed heavy taxes on actors, singers and other performing arts industries.

"Although it's not as scary as it was before the 80s when you had to pay more than 20.00% of the tax, you still have to pay a tax of 20.00% at the highest. After deducting various preferential terms, you have to pay at least [-]% of the tax on this money, right?"

Xie Zihao nodded and said:
"I have consulted John Zhou before. My salary can be avoided through consumption, but it can only be reduced by about half at most, so the tax of several hundred gold pounds for the income of five thousand pounds must be paid."

Todd couldn't help scolding when he heard the words:

"Damn IRS!"

For federal people, filing taxes is not only a big trouble in their lives. Ordinary people often have to pay for help if they don’t understand it, and handing over the green bills makes them feel distressed.

This is their hard-earned money!
Xie Zihao also laughed and scolded:
"Haha! It's the damned IRS indeed! I would also like to thank Mr. Li Gen, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have as much tax as I have to pay now!"

There are many similarities between the two worlds, and the federation here also had that actor in command at the same time.

Todd also nodded happily.

If it weren't for the great president who was born as an actor in the 80s to lower the tax rate of the entertainment industry, reducing the highest tax rate from more than 90.00% to 20.00%, I am afraid that Hollywood would not be as prosperous as the world's film center today.

Although the director works behind the scenes, his employment and income are also closely related to the Hollywood environment, which also makes Todd, who is committed to being a great director, to both fame and fortune, thank the actor president from the bottom of his heart.

Xie Zihao actually doesn't care much about actors' high taxes. After all, most of the entertainment industry is a high-income group. In his previous life, he also complained about actors' high salaries on the Internet.

Because his main business is still based on real estate rental and income from the office, the tax rate levied on these income is not so high compared to actors.

Todd paid more attention than Xie Zihao to a friend who wanted to buy a car, and went to take a half-day leave with the director to accompany Xie Zihao to Hansen Motors, the largest car dealership in the Los Angeles area.

There is no fourth son business in this world for the time being, and some services are limited to the wealthy, so the federal public who wants to buy a car usually goes to a car dealership, which is equivalent to a car dealership in the former Dongguo.

Hansen Motors belongs to the largest car sales company in Los Angeles and has a history of nearly 30 years.

The company also operates new and used car business.The new car business alone is not the largest in Daluo City, but with the second-hand car business, it is the largest car dealership in the Luocheng metropolitan area.

In addition, Hansen Motors focuses on the civilian line, mainly involving the sales of ordinary and mid-end models and a small number of high-end models. The large scale reduces costs, adopts the strategy of small profits but quick turnover, and has many preferential activities, so it is well received by the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Residents are welcome, and the first thing people think of when buying a car is to come to Hansen.

There are even people from other cities outside Los Angeles who travel hundreds of kilometers and several hours to buy a car.

Todd's first car was a used car bought at Hansen Motors, because the car is in good condition and it's still going strong after five or six years of driving.

The two drove to the northern suburbs of Luocheng, and saw a huge gourd-shaped concrete parking lot there from a distance.

"Welcome to Hansen's! I'm Tom, and I'll serve you two."

The car drove into the smaller parking lot, and just after the two got out of the car, a salesperson in a formal suit and tie came up.

Just by looking at the cheaper formal attire of the other party, you can tell that this is an ordinary car broker.

If it's that kind of senior car broker, who doesn't have a few rich clients?You don't need to be picked up at the car dealership, you can have business come to your door while sitting in the office and making a phone call.

This is as big as the gap between those real estate agencies in previous lives.Ordinary intermediaries earn intermediary fees for clients, while high-end intermediaries play with the use of information gaps to buy low and sell high.

Of course, Xie Zihao didn't mean to look down on others, he was all serving himself, and the education he received in his previous life made him not have any idea of ​​being superior.

So he politely said:

"Hello Mr Tom, I want to buy a car."

Hearing the client's opening, the car broker immediately knew who was the one who needed to buy a car, and could not help but introduce with a smile:

"Then what type of car do you need, sir? Is it a sedan or a pickup, or a performance SUV or sports car? Are you looking for a new car or a used car?"

Xie Zihao replied:
"Pickup trucks and sports cars don't need it, I mainly drive in the city, show me the sedan first, the new car first!"

After hearing this, auto broker Tom immediately knew that this was a big client with a large budget. Although he was not the type of rich man who spends a lot of money, he could indeed be called a man who had not performed well for three consecutive months. It's a big client.

So could not help but more warm reception.

Under Tom's introduction, Xie Zihao saw more than a dozen new cars on sale, but they were not satisfied. Tom took the two to see the off-road vehicle, which is the Jeep model in the population of the previous world.

This world is a bit different from the previous life. Many car companies are specious and have different models. He looked around and was not particularly satisfied. Suddenly, he glanced at the second-hand car exhibition area opposite, and found a car that made his eyes shine. exist.

Xie Zihao likes the appearance of this car very much. Looking closer, the overall appearance of this car is a bit like the first version of Land Rover Defender in the 90s of the previous life. It is tough but not stupid, and there is a bit of softness in the squareness.

The two headlights are like a pair of eyes, as if they can turn into Autobots to talk to you at any time.

　I really like the look of the original Land Rover Defender!Does anyone have a picture?It's a classic, but unfortunately you can't buy it.
