In Guangdong Province, a Panamax cargo ship unloaded containers and submitted an import declaration.
Moreover, the application was especially urgent.
When the bank imported goods, the customs would quickly process them. The customs declaration form would be immediately sent to the tax center and handed over to the staff.
However, when the person in charge of the inspection saw it, he was dumbfounded. He could not believe the contents of the customs declaration and reported it to the director's office.
The director was also dumbfounded when he saw this.
There was no other way. The customs declaration form was filled with-
Business Unit: TIIG
Receiving Unit: TIIG
Transportation: River-sea Transportation
Method of taxation: General tax exemption
Item Name: Standard Gold-Au9999
Net weight: 1000,000.00(kg)
[Total price: 3,900.35 (100 million yuan)]
"Are you kidding me? A thousand tons of gold worth 390 billion yuan was being transported by an ocean-going cargo ship?”
"Impossible, impossible, impossible!”
"That's right, it must be a prank!”
"300 to 400 billion is nothing. The key is the rarity of 1,000 tons of gold. Who has that much gold?”
"That's right! The central bank doesn't even have 2,000 tons."
A large group of people from the customs, tax, and inspection departments came to the port together, feeling very uneasy and complicated.
He was half-convinced and half-expecting it to be true.
She was afraid that it was true, so she didn't believe it.
The lower level staff discussed in low voices, but the upper management looked solemn and cautious, not saying a word!
Soon, they arrived at the container that the ü II ü Tianfu International Investment Bank had applied to enter the customs and surrounded it.
"Director, just these 20 containers!”
" Open it immediately to check-"
"Yes, prepare to open the box!"
After the leader gave the order, the customs officer immediately went forward and opened the container with the key to see what was inside.
It couldn't possibly be a thousand tons of gold, right?
No, no, no, impossible, absolutely impossible!
" Caw caw caw-" The iron door of the container opened.
Everyone craned their necks to watch. There was a tray inside the container, and on the tray was a wooden box.
Each box contained five trays and five wooden boxes.
The staff member opened the outermost one.
He pried open the wooden board and exclaimed loudly,
"Oh my god! This…this…this is gold? Director, please request for a technician to identify it. I can't confirm the material.”
"Such a big box, almost ten tons, right?”
The director's eyes were also filled with shock and disbelief. He nodded in a daze and asked the technicians to come over and use the equipment to check.
[Ding, ding, ding] The test was completed in minutes.
The customs inspector reported excitedly,"
"Director…we…we have tested many samples and can confirm that they are all gold, ultra-high-purity Alu9999.”
"It completely matches the label on the gold brick.”
? TII ü Tianfu International Investment Bank ?
Strategic Reserve Gold-Standard Gold
AU9999(99.99% Purity)
[Weight: 12500g]
No. ü 0018-A 00255
Each gold brick weighed twenty-five pounds (12.5 kg) and had a unique number, a bank logo, and so on.
It should be a legal bank reserve of gold.
"Director, there are a total of 20 containers here, each weighing 50 tons.”
"Five trays, ten tons each!”
"In other words, each tray costs 800 dollars.”
"Hiss ~" Everyone present could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They were dumbfounded and looked at each other.
The person in charge of the customs department ordered in shock,
"Continue to check, open all the boxes and check!”
"The third container is confirmed to be gold.”
"The eighth container is confirmed to be gold.”
"The sixth container is confirmed to be gold.”
"The fourth container is confirmed to be gold.”
After a while, the inspection was completed. It could be confirmed that they were all high-purity Alu9999, standard gold bricks.
The director immediately called the central bank, the China banking commission, the tax bureau, and the general administration of customs to report this incident.
Asking about fees, tax rates, and treatment plans!
Gold products import duties:15%, but the institution imported standard gold or gold ore, exempt from import duties.
If the value of the gold did not rise in value during the import process, there would be no tax.
Education surcharges and city construction taxes were also exempted!
Of course, the import of gold required talent.
Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, Shanghai Bank of China, China National People's Bank of China, Ping An Bank, Xingye Bank, China Guangda Bank, Australia and New Zealand Bank, and other banking institutions all had precious metal import and export permits.
TII B also has the authority to import and export gold!
One thousand tons of gold was not a small amount. The central bank's total reserves were only 62.64 million ounces (1948 tons).
Thousands of tons, that was half the amount of the Central Bank!
The news quickly spread throughout the Guangdong customs.
All the customs officers were discussing this matter.
"This Tianfu International Investment Bank is awesome! Where did he get so much gold? A thousand tons of gold."
"It's said that the heirs of the American Empire's inheritance and a large consortium transferred their money to our country. It's worth two to three trillion yuan!”
"F * ck! Awesome! I'm so envious that I want to snatch it."
"Go ahead, we just transferred an infantry battalion.”
"Yes, I heard that they're going to transport it overnight!”
There were many different opinions and they quickly fermented. In order to ensure the absolute safety of 1,000 tons of gold, the China Merchants Bank strongly requested-
1. The gold must be escorted to Chengdu immediately.
2. Borrowing 100 military heavy trucks for transportation
3. Increase security measures for the gold warehouse
Gold was not like banknotes. If 400 billion banknotes were lost, they could be declared invalid, and it was easy to trace them.
What if the gold was lost? With the high temperature, it was impossible to tell if it was stolen goods. Hard currency could be sold anywhere.
The officials were very concerned about this batch of gold.
A full 1,000 tons, half of the central bank's stock!
It had a huge effect on resisting currency wars, financial risks, and exchange rate fluctuations. It was much more reliable than the US dollar.
The Guangdong customs quickly received a call from the higher-ups.
"The origin of this batch of gold is quite special. It's very likely that it entered the scene through an abnormal channel. Therefore, destroy the records.”
"No charge, no import value-added tax.”
"The relevant insiders are prohibited from continuing the discussion.”
