In a leisure resort owned by Dingtian Group, the outdoor garden lawn has been newly decorated. The table is covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and flowers are used to spell out huge "happy-birthday" letters next to it.
Today is Xiao Yunan's birthday. Dai Li arrived here very early, but at this time, he was holding his mobile phone with a depressed look on his face.
"Mr. Li, we have arrived at the entrance of the highway. If there is no traffic jam, we can reach the delivery address in half an hour." A man's voice came from the mobile phone.
Dai Li sighed helplessly. Xiao Yunan's birthday party was about to begin, but the Ferrari FXX that Dai Li gave him was still on its way.
It wasn’t that the transportation company Dai Li found was not good. The transportation company in Europe provided very good service. However, after the car was shipped back, it was stuck at customs.
Imported cars must pay customs duties if they want to enter the country, otherwise they will become smuggled cars. The import tariff for imported cars is 25% and the value-added tax is 17%. In addition, consumption tax will be paid in varying amounts according to the displacement, and the consumption tax can reach a maximum of 40%.
But these two Ferrari FXXs were a retirement gift from Ferrari to Helheim. Helheim didn't pay a penny. There was no invoice or anything like the purchase of the car. It was impossible to estimate the price. If I have to pay customs duties, I don’t even know how much I should pay.
What's more, this Ferrari FXX is different. This FXX is not a mass-produced car. There are only 30 units in the world. Li Dai's car is still a prototype, which is completely different from ordinary imported cars. Except for Switzerland, even in other countries in Europe, this FXX is recognized as a racing car and can only be run on the track.
The customs does have a special entry inspection channel for racing cars, but domestic regulations require a racing invitation letter to enter the country. Li Dai does not have such a thing, so the customs is not willing to put the car in according to the standards of racing cars.
Dai Li had no choice but to find a trading company that specialized in import and export. After a lot of effort, he completed the customs clearance procedures.
In fact, if Li Dai asked Xiao Yunan for help, with the ability of Dingtian Group, he would not need to spend so much effort. However, Li Dai wanted to surprise Xiao Yunan, so he spent more time.
Fortunately, the car is about to arrive now, and Xiao Yunan's birthday party has just started, so Dai Li's time is not wasted.
…
"Who are you talking to on the phone?" Xiao Yunan's voice sounded from behind. She walked up to Dai Li, stretched out her hand and said, "Where's my birthday gift?"
"It's on the way. It will be delivered in a moment." Dai Li chuckled.
"What exactly are you going to give me?" Xiao Yunan asked curiously.
"You'll know the secret when the time comes, but I'm sure it's definitely unique in the world." Dai Li replied confidently.
"Actually, I don't lack anything. You don't need to buy me a birthday gift. Don't spend money randomly. Even if you pick a flower from the roadside and give it to me, I will be very happy." Xiao Yunan showed the attitude of a little woman.
"That's not possible. All your friends are here, and there are so many 'young talents' here. I can't embarrass you!" Li Dai said with a smile.
The worry flashed across Xiao Yunan's eyes, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Li Dai caught Xiao Yunan's expression.
"It's nothing." Xiao Yunan shook his head: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet my friends!"
…
"Hey, Mr. Chai is here too."
"Master Chai? Is it Chai Liang?"
"Nonsense, besides him, who else has the surname Chai."
Under the spotlight, Chai Liang appeared in the sights of Li Dai and Xiao Yunan.
"That is the second son of Chai Chuan Wang, the eldest son of Hong Kong Island. You must have heard of Chai Chuan Wang, right?" Xiao Yunan reminded in a low voice.
"Of course I have heard of him. He is one of the four major shipping kings in Hong Kong. He made his fortune in the 1950s and 1960s. He is a veteran rich man in Hong Kong." Dai Li nodded and continued: "He is also the young talent you have chosen. One of the handsome ones, right?"
Xiao Yunan did not respond, but rolled her eyes at Dai Li and said, "Let's go, come with me to greet him!"
Xiao Yunan hugged Li Dai and walked forward with a smile. Chai Liang also saw Xiao Yunan, and at the same time he saw Li Dai next to him, doubts flashing in his eyes.
"Master Chai is here, welcome!" Xiao Yunan smiled politely.
"You, Miss Xiao, invited me, how dare I not come?" Chai Liang spoke Hong Kong Mandarin while taking a very delicate packaging box from the assistant beside him.
"Happy birthday." Chai Liang showed a gentlemanly smile on his face, opened the box at the same time, and continued: "This jadeite is called 'Princess Star', and it is the most suitable gift for you, the princess."
…
"What's that emerald called 'Princess Star'? Is it famous?"
"Princess Star, I remembered it. It was once exhibited in our mainland, and was later auctioned on Hong Kong Island. I heard it sold for more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars! It turned out that it was taken by Mr. Chai."
"How much? More than 13 million? Mr. Chai is really generous, giving away more than 13 million like this?"
"Master Chai, you are just a drunkard and don't care about drinking! What a pity, Xiao Yunan already has a boyfriend."
"Are you saying that there is a poor coach next to Xiao Yunan? Even he is worthy of Xiao Yunan. Look at the gifts Xiao Yunan received today. There are piles of millions, and there are more than 13 million princesses. Star, he can’t earn this much as a coach in his whole life. I think this kid is just a freeloader.”
"Yes, if it were me, if I saw someone giving such an expensive thing to my girlfriend, I would have felt ashamed and found a hole in the ground to hide in."
"No, it's still an emerald. Haha, forgive the color! There's a bright green flower on the head..."
"What you said is too damaging!"
People around him were talking in low voices. Although Chai Liang couldn't hear clearly what everyone was talking about, he could feel in his heart that everyone must be talking about his grandeur. At this moment, Chai Liang's heart was filled with an inexplicable superiority. feel.
"More than 13 million Princess Stars. I think other people's gifts are definitely not more valuable than Chai Liang. I heard that Director Xiao is also here. Chai Liang showed great performance in front of Director Xiao today. Let’s talk about it!” Luo Fen held the wine glass and watched all this with interest.
"That's not necessarily the case." A playful smile appeared on Chen Yang's face next to him.
"Chen Yang, have you prepared some trump card? Reveal it to me first." Luo Fen lowered his voice and said.
"Master Luo, you think too highly of me. It hurts me to give you something worth 1.8 million yuan." Chen Yang shook his head: "But, some people want to spend money like water."
As Chen Yangzheng was talking, he saw a truck approaching from a distance.
…
Dai Li also saw the truck.
"Finally delivered!" Dai Li let out a long breath, with a relieved smile on his face.
However, the next second, Li Dai discovered that there was no container on the truck, but a red sports car directly carried by a trailer.
"Red sports car? It's not my FXX." Dai Li was suddenly in a bad mood again.
The cars were moving from far to near. When they arrived at the gate, they had already attracted everyone's attention. They saw a red sports car on the trailer of the truck. The sports car also used a very fast car. Creamy white ribbon tied with a gift knot.
"Is this supercar a gift for Xiao Yunan?" This thought flashed through many people's minds.
At this time, Jia Liancheng finally appeared. He also walked up to Xiao Yunan with a beautiful box, but this box had a galloping Ferrari logo on it.
"Yunan, happy birthday!" Jia Liancheng opened the box. There were three keys inside, one was an electronic key and the other two were mechanical keys. On the red shell of the key, the galloping horse logo was particularly conspicuous.
At this time, the workers had unloaded the red sports car, and everyone could clearly see the true appearance of the car.
"This is a LaFerrari, I've always wanted one!"
"This car seems to cost more than 22 million. I saw one on display at the Donggang Auto Show a few days ago. It was Ferrari's finale."
"The world's top supercar, there are not many in China!"
"Jia Liancheng is so generous that he is willing to give this car away."
"Just now I thought Mr. Chai was pretty cool and gave him a jade pendant worth more than 10 million yuan. Now it seems that Jia Liancheng is the one who has the style to give a supercar worth 20 million yuan!"
"In terms of supercars, LaFerrari should be the best in the world, right?"
"Isn't Chen Yang here? He knows sports cars best. If you ask him for a while, you will know everything."
…
Luo Fen pointed to the sports car in the distance with his eyes and asked, "Is this what you call spending money like water?"
Chen Yang nodded: "At the Donggang Auto Show a few days ago, this LaFerrari was the most expensive. For those of us who like to play sports cars, this LaFerrari can be said to be a dream."
"So, Jia Liancheng has spent a lot of money!" Luo Fen sighed.
"Young Master Chai's jadeite hanging was instantly outclassed. Look at Mr. Chai's expression, it's no longer as triumphant as before." Chen Yang said softly.
Luo Fen turned back and looked at the main buildings of the resort behind him: "Chairman Xiao is watching over there, but I don't know if Jia Liancheng can catch Chairman Xiao's eyes!"
…
"This is my boyfriend, his name is Li Dai." Xiao Yunan introduced Li Dai to the people in front of him while holding Li Dai's arm.
"Is this Coach Li?" A fashionably dressed girl looked at Dai Li with a critical eye and said in a strange way: "Today is Yu Nan's birthday. What gift did our big coach give to Yu Nan?"
Displeasure flashed across Xiao Yunan's eyes, and she obviously felt that this fashionably dressed girl had evil intentions.
Several other wealthy second-generation people around looked at Dai Li as if they were watching the fun.
Among the rich second generations present, the men must be jealous of Li Dai for being able to become Xiao Yunan's boyfriend. Nine out of ten women are jealous of Xiao Yunan, who has a good family background and is pretty. So they were happy to watch Dai Li make a fool of himself.
Xiao Yunan couldn't help but tightly hooked Dai Li's arm. He was a little worried that Dai Li's self-esteem would be hit.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Li Dai still looked confident. He glanced at Xiao Yunan affectionately, and said as if to show affection: "The birthday gift I gave to Yunan is still on the way. , it should be shipped soon."
"It's still on the way. Once it arrives, we'll have some fun!" The fashionably dressed girl's tone was still gloomy.
At this moment, Xiao Dingtian's assistant Huang Zhicheng came over from a distance.
"Your dad's assistant is here." Li Dai reminded him. Xiao Yunan turned around and saw Huang Zhicheng.
"My dad may have something to do with me." Xiao Yunan said and took the initiative to greet him.
However, Huang Zhicheng looked at Dai Li.
"Coach Li, the chairman wants to see you." Huang Zhicheng said.
"Director Xiao wants to see me?" Li Dai looked at Xiao Yunan, put on a "don't worry" look, and said at the same time: "Your dad is looking for me, I'll come as soon as I go!"
Xiao Yunan looked at Dai Li with a worried look, and an inexplicable ominous premonition surged in her heart.
