11：Do I need to pay taxes on this

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "It's all up to Uncle Zhou's decision."

After speaking, Xiao Bing turned to Shen Hao and asked,

"Mr. Shen, what do you think of this price?"

Shen Hao was very satisfied with the price. Some things are valuable, but that doesn't mean you can always find the right buyer. Something worth tens of millions isn't something just anyone can afford.

Even those who can afford it need to have a genuine need for it.

Shen Hao also valued safety. It wasn't that he was afraid—backed by the fantasy world, he was bold enough. He just didn't want to stir up too much trouble.

"How do we explain the taxes?"

Xiao Bing replied, "When ginseng is harvested and sold from the mountains, it's considered agricultural production, and sales of self-produced agricultural products are exempt from VAT and personal income tax, so there's no tax to pay.

Don't worry, I'll have the legal team take care of these matters. You don't need to worry about anything.

The 10 million yuan will be the amount you receive, and I'll handle the rest."

Of course, Shen Hao believed that things worth tens of millions would be taxed.

This was a form of reciprocity, and the fact that Xiao Bing helped Shen Hao save millions in taxes made her seem very generous.

Suddenly, becoming a millionaire, Shen Hao couldn't help but feel a little excited. Even though his golden opportunity had arrived, his mindset hadn't quite caught up yet.

"No problem."

"Zhao Lu, have the finance team transfer the money to Mr. Shen's account, using the company's public account as an investment."

"Yes, Ms. Xiao."

Soon, within about three minutes, Shen Hao received a text message from the bank.

[Huaxia Agricultural Bank]Chang'an Xiao Group Co., Ltd. completed a transfer of 10 million RMB to your account ending in 9527 on May 28th at 18:27. Your current balance is 10.508 million.

At that moment, Zhao Lu came over and handed Shen Hao a contract, smiling, "Mr. Shen, this is the purchase contract for the hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Please take a look, and if everything is fine, just sign it.

Since we're using the company's public account, a contract is necessary."

Shen Hao nodded, carefully reviewed the contract, didn't see any issues, and signed it.

Of course, Shen Hao trusted that they wouldn't deceive him.

If they really tried to trick him, Shen Hao wouldn't hesitate to retaliate—maybe even playing a game of family "candy crush" on them.

He wasn't sure when exactly, but Shen Hao's respect for the law and morals had disappeared. Perhaps his mindset changed after he killed those two bandits.

After the transaction was completed, both Xiao Bing and Zhou Peiyuan were extremely excited.

The market did have century-old wild ginseng, but ginseng with such exceptional medicinal properties was nearly impossible to find.

Moreover, according to Zhou Peiyuan's observations, the hundred-year-old wild ginseng was well-preserved, indicating that the seller was an experienced expert in this field.

After completing the deal, as they were about to leave, Xiao Bing suddenly took out a business card and handed it to Shen Hao. "Mr. Shen, this is my business card. The QR code on it is my personal WeChat. If you have more wild ginseng in the future, you can sell it to me.

I'll offer you the highest market price. You won't suffer any losses."

Shen Hao paused in surprise and asked, "Didn't I already add you on WeChat?"

Xiao Bing smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen. The WeChat you added was my assistant Zhao Lu's."

Zhao Lu, the assistant, explained, "You added my WeChat, not Ms. Xiao's."

Shen Hao felt a little awkward. He had thought it was Xiao Bing's WeChat all along, but it turned out it was her assistant's.

Now that he thought about it, it made sense. Given Xiao Bing's position, why would she casually add a stranger on WeChat?

Perhaps Xiao Bing saw value in Shen Hao, which is why she gave him her personal contact information.

Zhou Peiyuan also handed Shen Hao a business card and smiled, saying, "Shen Hao, if you have any good items in the future, feel free to call me. Don't worry, as long as the goods are good, I'll offer you the highest market price."

Shen Hao responded, "No problem."

However, before leaving, Shen Hao still returned the 350,000 yuan to Xiao Bing. He felt that since he had rear-ended her, it was his own fault. Now that he had money, he didn't want to take advantage of her.

Of course, there was another reason. If Shen Hao accepted the 350,000 yuan, it could easily be seen as insurance fraud. If the insurance company filed a case, it would be certain. Shen Hao didn't want to get into that kind of trouble again. With tens of millions in his account now, why would he bring unnecessary trouble upon himself?

After Shen Hao explained this, Xiao Bing no longer insisted on the money. Instead, she sold him another wild ginseng root for 500,000 yuan. With the 350,000 yuan refund, Shen Hao now had at least 11 million yuan in cash.

"Don't worry about the price. I paid 800,000 yuan for a ginseng root from Li Cheng earlier. This time, I'm giving you 500,000 yuan, plus the previous 350,000 yuan, which adds up nicely."

"Alright, then. Let's do it," Shen Hao said, no longer rejecting the offer. She clearly wasn't short on money.

When Xiao Bing refunded the 350,000 yuan earlier, it wasn't just because she had the money to spare. First, she felt she had made a mistake by slamming on the brakes. Second, her upbringing had taught her not to push people into a corner, as the consequences often aren't worth it.

For a ride-hailing driver, how much could he afford? Pushing him into a corner would do no good and could cause trouble for her.

Her life and health were more valuable.

There was no need to make things too extreme. This had always been Xiao Bing's way of handling matters.

After the transaction was completed, Xiao Bing, Zhao Lu, and Zhou Peiyuan left. Shen Hao then realized just how big the price differences were in the wild ginseng market.

He had seen online posts claiming that wild ginseng was just an "IQ tax" and that its nutritional value was similar to that of a radish.

Anyone who said that was either stupid or ignorant.

The wisdom accumulated over thousands of years by our ancestors could not be fake.

Even if it was just spending a few dozen yuan on an artificially grown ginseng, it could make your body heat up and cause nosebleeds.

Eating a kilogram of radishes would be fine, but eating a kilogram of artificial ginseng might kill you.

Shen Hao then did a quick search online for Xiao Group.

To his surprise, Xiao Group had grown into a large modern enterprise with a total asset value of over 30 billion yuan.

The company owned multiple fully owned and controlling subsidiaries and project departments. Their industries spanned across highways, real estate, elevators, pharmaceuticals, and energy, to name a few. Of course, this market value hadn't yet been listed, but once it went public, it would easily be worth over a hundred billion.

Shen Hao knew about these industries, even though he was from a lower social class. Without the right connections, it was impossible to enter these fields.

Though Shen Hao was curious about Xiao Bing's background, it was just that—curiosity.

During their time together, Xiao Bing had always been polite and smiling, but that was just her personal etiquette.

The gap in their status was as wide as heaven and earth.

Her natural arrogance still couldn't be hidden.

Of course, Shen Hao didn't have any thoughts of trying to please a goddess. It was just an appreciation of beautiful things.

Women like Xiao Bing, diamond-class beauties, had men around them who were usually the elite of the elite in society. Not only were they good-looking, but their education, family background, and social status were impeccable.

In comparison, Shen Hao now seemed plain and ordinary.

He had no advantage at all.

But now, with his "golden finger" ability, as long as he kept developing the other world, there would be no woman he couldn't get.

For now, he could only say that he was still too weak.

He ordered some takeout, ate it, and then began soaking in the medicinal bath again to continue his training.

"Body Forging Guide Twelve Postures."

While performing the movements, Shen Hao silently chanted the breathing technique:

"Exhale through the mouth, then inhale through the nose, repeating this eighteen times.

Each time you exhale fully, feeling as if your lungs are empty, then allow yourself to automatically inhale. The lungs, like a skin pouch, will naturally refill. Inhalation should be silent and long, the longer, the better..."

Time passed by unnoticed.
