Chapter 158. 157. Follow Him (Duanmu League+2)
"What's wrong?" Li Du went up and asked in a low voice.
Hans didn't answer, but went to Valerie: "Help me get the information about the ivory we sell!"
Valerie happily ate fried chicken and tapped on the phone. As the printer worked, a list was printed out.
The warehouse auction industry system in the United States is very mature, and there are many employees, so the management is naturally very formal.
After each storage auction, treasure hunters can make a rough list of their harvest, write down the harvest, and then put it into the association database for backup.
This is not mandatory, but most treasure pickers will implement it, because it involves a tax payment issue and a social security issue. Treasure pickers are freelancers, and tax and social security needs to be supported by the company.
Banks and the tax office have constraints on them because they have to prevent people from using the industry to launder money.
The classification of treasure hunters' clubs in the Warehouse Auction Association also relies on this database. If there is no valid and reliable proof of income, the club will have no credibility.
With this database, treasure hunters can no longer fabricate income information, because the tax bureau is monitoring the database, and the fabricated income data will become a tax payment certificate.
No one is willing to pay taxes in vain, and no one is willing to falsify the harvest of treasures in storage. Once found out by the association, they will be expelled from the association.
The handling of goods after warehousing and auctions relies heavily on trust, and picking up treasures is a job that pays great attention to integrity.
After getting the documents, Hans took a look and asked, "Damn, we didn't ask the client to sign?"
Valerie saw the information book on the computer, and she said, "Yes, you didn't ask them to sign it, and they lack reliable proof of income."
Li Du said, "But we have a tax payment certificate."
Rick said angrily: "Who knows what some people will do in order to join a higher-level club? Maybe some people are willing to spend money to buy face, isn't it?"
Valerie said: "It's not a big deal. Li is right. You have a tax payment certificate. You just need to add a customer's signature. You didn't fall out with the customer, did you?"
Li Du nodded and said, "Our cooperation is very friendly."
Rick curled his lips and rolled his eyes, wondering what bad idea he was thinking.
Hans went to make a phone call and came back and said: "It's easy to make up a signature, but I remember that as long as there is a tax payment certificate, this can support us to join the club, right?"
Valerie said: "Yes, the requirements are not strict..."
"It's not strict?" Little Rick exaggerated. "If this is the case, then if we pay taxes voluntarily, wouldn't everyone be able to join the 100,000 club? My dad can also join the million club."
Hans said: "Yes, as long as you are willing to pay 200,000 taxes!"
Little Rick ignored him and said to Valerie: "We need to follow the rules and regulations, don't we? I remember that associations and clubs have strict requirements on these systems, don't we?"
Li Du understood that these people wanted to get stuck on their petty problems and wanted to prevent them from joining the 100,000 club.
He pulled Hans away and said, "What happened? How did you make such a loophole?"
Hans said helplessly: "Rick and the others are deliberately picking on the thorns. In fact, to join the club at ordinary times, as long as you have the income certificate and tax payment certificate at that time, it is enough."
It's too late to say this now, they have already been targeted by villains.
Li Du said: "Call those gentlemen and Professor Lewis, and ask them to add a signature."
Hans said: "I have contacted, Professor Lewis is easy to solve, but Alans-Bryan and the others are not easy."
Alans Bryan was the zoologist who introduced them to sell ivory. Li Du forgot the name of the sculptor who bought the ivory, but he only remembered that they were from Italy.
After hearing what Hans said, Li Du immediately understood: "They are not in the United States anymore?"
"The phone numbers have been changed!" Hans helplessly raised the phone and shook it.
Li Du remembered that after selling the ivory, Alans said that he planned to go to Europe with his friends in Italy, but they didn't care at that time, so they didn't leave their contact information in Europe.
Hans said: "But it's okay, Aarons and the others are public figures, I will find a way to contact them."
Li Du shook his head, and said, "Forget it, this time is a lesson. In the future, we must be more cautious in doing things and consider issues more comprehensively."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Du said bluntly: "This time I won't join the 100,000 club. I believe we will have a chance soon. Let's wait a few days, maybe the next warehouse will allow us to earn another 100,000 yuan!"
If it was before, Hans would definitely not let go of such an opportunity. This is the closest he has come to the threshold of the 100,000 club.
But after cooperating with Li Du, because of the other party's special ability, they have repeatedly won high-value warehouses, so he is full of confidence in the future.
Rick and the others kept staring at them, and Valerie couldn't help them take shortcuts, and they had to complete the procedures before they could apply for membership of the 100,000 Club.
Seeing this, Hans raised his middle finger to the group and said, "Very well, bitches, we don't plan to join the club this time, let's see what reason you can find to stop us next time!"
Rick and the others left triumphantly, and someone complimented: "Joffrey, you are still the best. We really found a way to prevent them from upgrading the association."
Li Duyin faintly heard this, frowned and said, "These bastards are here to stop us?"
Hans said helplessly: "Obviously, we have become public enemies."
Valerie said with a smile: "If you can keep a low profile, there won't be so many things today."
Hans subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"
Valerie said: "You have announced since the day before yesterday that you are going to join the 100,000 club. More than one person does not want to see such a thing happen. Even if Geoffrey and the others don't come to make trouble, there are others who will."
Li Du said angrily: "Look, what did I say? Do things in a high-profile manner and behave in a low-key manner!"
Hans said helplessly: "It's obvious that these bastards are too vicious! Well, it's my fault this time, let's go back, and I will immediately look for valuable warehouses!"
Li Du shook his head and said, "No, we won't leave."
"what?"
"Look at this dog ear, this bastard messed up our joining the Hundred Thousand Club, then I will mess up the auction that this guy participated in!"
Hans said: "Good idea, it seems that you are angry."
Li Du has never been a peaceful and tolerant person. If he is bullied to the extreme, he will of course be angry and of course he will fight back!
In this way, they stayed directly in Phoenix, Hans stared at the dog's ears, and Godzilla worked out in the hotel.
Li Du originally wanted to take Ah Miao for a stroll in Phoenix, but the city was too hot and dry, so he had to think of other ways to pass the time.
