Chapter 8 Inheritance Assets ()

"No? Maybe my words planted a seed in his heart and prompted him to work in this direction. Maybe he will become the next Kobe Bryant." The fat policeman named Robbie tore off the signature very seriously and put it in his close pocket.

"I don't think this is possible." The policeman shook his head, obviously not believing his companions' words.

"Then what's the bet? If he becomes a basketball star, you will lose one thousand dollars to me. How about it?" Fat policeman Robbie immediately got up.

"No need to be a basketball star. As long as he can become a professional player, I will give you a thousand yuan. But now you have to treat me to a hamburger first, how about it?" This took the initiative to reduce the difficulty of the task, but made another request, and it would relieve the hunger in your eyes first.

"Okay, you can choose the one in front." The fat policeman Robbie shrugged and agreed.

Let’s talk about when Shi Xianghua brought Stephen to Lawyer Chamos, Lawyer Chamos had already started to receive other clients. It seems that the lawyer’s time is indeed very precious. Even if Shi Xianghua comes, it is no exception.

Looking at Stephen staring at the prompts on the wall, Shi Xianghua explained to Stephen that the lawyer's charges start when you sit in a chair, but you said you didn't say anything, and you started to charge. Mr. Chamos's consultation and conversation price is 850 US dollars per hour. If it is a defense, the price is doubled. So Shi Xianghua told Stephen not to hesitate to get there, and you can ask if you don't understand, but don't waste time.

"What is the fee for your conversation?" Stephen asked curiously, but he was amazed in his heart that the lawyer's income was so easy. It was 850 yuan per hour, just consulting, not defense. If it was just a defense, it would be 1,700 yuan. Being a lawyer is too profitable. Is his aunt also making money like this? Stephen of course wants to ask clearly.

"Six hundred and fifty yuan per hour? What's wrong?" Shi Xianghua thought Stephen was going to figure out his income, so he looked at him unhappily and said lightly.

"Then we talked about it from the morning until now, wouldn't I give you thousands of dollars?" Stephen calculated, came up with a number, and said to his aunt in surprise.

"Haha" Shi Xianghua smiled and touched Stephen's head very affectionately. Seeing Stephen looking at himself with a confucian face, Shi Xianghua suddenly felt a sense of responsibility. He must not let him grow up so casually. He must make certain plans for his life so that he will not do anything as mediocre as his father.

Originally, she planned to call Stephen over and complete the inheritance procedures, and either find him a job or find him a school. As for the future of this child, that is not what she wants to take care of.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt the strong family blood between the two people. She could not, and she had to take on the responsibility of educating and cultivating him, otherwise, if these assets were given to him would be a waste.

Finally, Chamos's last conversation ended. The blond and blue-eyed assistant invited Stephen and the other two in. Chamos waved his hand at the assistant, indicating that there was no need for a time this time.

"Xiang Hua, my partner, I'm really not used to handling this procedure for you. You are still so young." Chamos reached out and hugged Shi Xianghua. Stephen wanted to ask what his aunt had but didn't dare to ask. Could it be that it was an incurable disease, but he couldn't tell from his face. Except for being a little lonely, there was no problem.

"Chamus, there is nothing. I just want to prevent it and make some preparations in advance. I will still stick to my life and complete my work smoothly." After saying that, Shi Xianghua turned his head and introduced to Stephen: "This is my nephew Stephen, this is my friend and my partner, Mr. Chamoscalnia. If I am really gone, I hope you can try your best to help my nephew."

"Okay, let's start now, right?" Chamos didn't want to waste this kind of greeting. He rubbed his hands impatiently and signaled Shi Xianghua to start doing the serious business immediately.

"As you request, this is the property given this time, totaling $1.49 million, which has been approved by the Financial Review and the Taxation Bureau. It is a total of shares in three companies, worth $1.12 million; $150,000 in securities and $220,000 in cash."

Then Chamos took out a large stack of documents, picked out a few copies and handed them to Shi Xianghua. After Shi Xianghua signed his name, he asked Stephen to sign his name, and then Chamos signed it.

"Young man, you are so lucky that these property are already yours." After several tedious hands, some supporting documents were handed to Stephen's hand. Stephen panickedly handed it to Shi Xianghua, but Shi Xianghua shook his head and didn't want it.

"Xiang Hua, I hope you can deal with that villa as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely be a big trouble." Chamos looked at the remaining documents and said to Xiang Hua.

"I know, I will find a way, but it's difficult." Shi Xianghua nodded.

What remains is the procedures for determining Stephen as the heir to all the remaining assets of Shi Xianghua. These assets will not be handed over to Stephen. They must be paid enough estate tax within six to eight months after Shi Xianghua's death before these assets can belong to Stephen.

After completing the procedures, Shi Xianghua took Stephen away. Shi Xianghua first took Stephen to a car dealer and bought Stephen a red Chevrolet Camaro. However, when paying, Stephen discovered that he was using his own name.

"I don't like red either, but I hope red can make you more generous, more ostentatious and confident." After entering the car, Shi Xianghua told Stephen very solemnly, very dissatisfied with his timid appearance.

On the way, Shi Xianghua explained some knowledge about inheritance transfer to Stephen: "Whether it is inheritance or gift, as long as the exemption exceeds one.5 million yuan, a 48% estate tax will be levied. The final gift and inheritance are calculated cumulatively. It does not mean that the property given to you now will not be recorded in the inheritance tax at that time.

As for why I hand over these property to you now, I hope you will use this money to earn enough money to pay inheritance tax for the rest of my time, because the annual exemption amount is constantly being adjusted upward, so I will try my best to live as many years as possible.

"Aunt, what disease do you have?" Stephen was filled with sadness. How many years younger than his father, why did he get such a serious disease? What disease is it? Can't you treat it well? Stephen still couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, don't ask anymore. Listen to me, except for the shares of a few unlisted companies, the only house is the most valuable. If the exemption has increased significantly in recent years, you should not have to pay inheritance tax when inheriting these shares. But if you still want to inherit that house, you must earn enough money to pay inheritance tax between my death, otherwise you can only donate it. So, you must have a plan for your life. What do you want to do?"

Shi Xianghua gently touched Stephen's head and said seriously to Stephen.

"I, I..." Stephen was still immersed in incredible and unimaginable emotions at this time. He signed a few words like this. He was a person with millions of assets. His father had been working for most of his life and had not saved up enough so much.

Speaking of what he was going to do in the future, Stephen thought hard but didn't think about how to make money. He had to say to Shi Xianghua: "I can go to work and make money, I am very strong."

Stephen never thought about how to make money. In his consciousness, he just needed to follow his father and learn skills and inherit his father's small restaurant.

"Silly kid, what kind of job can you earn enough millions of dollars in a few years?" Shi Xianghua said with a smile, staring at Stephen motionlessly, Stephen's face immediately turned red. How could there be so many millions of dollars?

"If the exemption exceeds the amount, you need to pay 42% of the inheritance tax. At that time, you will have to pay at least 2 million yuan. Can you earn enough by working?" Shi Xianghua looked at Stephen with a sharp look. As the only descendant of the Shi family, it is really too annoying. If he had known this, he would have taken him from his brother as soon as possible. Even if he had been a good education, he would not be like this.

"How are your academic performance?" Shi Xianghua suddenly thought that his nephew seemed to be only seventeen years old. Just looking at him as tall as he was, he forgot that he had just graduated from high school.

"On average." When talking about homework, Stephen scratched his head. His grades could not be said to be good or bad. He had been told many times by his father, but in public schools, there were students who studied hard and did not teach seriously.

"Then do you have any sports expertise?" Seeing Stephen's reaction, Shi Xianghua felt that there was no show, so he had to find a way out from other aspects. Fortunately, he had such an identity, otherwise there would be no way.

"I can play basketball." Stephen's eyes lit up immediately. He had never touched basketball since the accident that day. Thinking of this, Stephen felt his hands itchy.
