Chapter 546 Making Money with Cards
After seeing Shi Lei's magic with his own eyes, Huo Chengdong no longer doubted the authenticity of what Shi Lei said. These three antiques were undoubtedly labeled as fakes by him.
After carrying the authentic Wanli New Year blue and white porcelain vase upstairs, Shi Lei put his hand on the brocade box and asked, "Mr. Huo, we should talk about the price of this porcelain vase."
Huo Chengdong nodded and said: "Originally, to return the national treasure to the motherland, it doesn't matter even if I donate it. I also believe that Mr. Shi will not lie. And this blue and white porcelain is in the hands of Mr. Bai, although it still needs to be kept by him privately." Years and months, but will eventually be donated to the motherland. But this is no different from ordinary goods, and the import and export will be subject to stricter restrictions. Therefore, the procedures alone will be more troublesome. In fact, the best way is to entrust the auction house to conduct the auction. , and then Mr. Shi will take it away. This will make all the procedures easier."
Shi Lei also nodded and said: "I have no objection to the specific operation, but if it goes to auction, the transaction price will not be controlled by you and me..."
Huo Chengdong smiled and said, "Don't worry about Mr. Shi. Although I like to be quiet and don't like to make noise, I still have some friends. I have a friend who is in the auction business. We can arrange an auction without outsiders. Everyone participating in the auction is their own person. In this way, the price can be easily controlled. However, there must also be a corresponding price. If the auction price is too low, it will cause some departments of the local government to intervene. Currently For a blue and white porcelain vase from the Wanli period in good condition on the market, based on the size and specifications of this porcelain vase, its transaction price is usually 200 to 3 million Australian dollars, so we might as well calculate it as low value."
Shi Lei calculated silently, and found that two million Australian dollars, at an exchange rate of about one to five, was about ten million. The quotation given by Scepter is fifteen million. Doesn't this mean that he can still have at least five million left?
Thinking of this, Shi Lei was really a little excited.
But in this case, wouldn't Huo Chengdong suffer a big loss?
Shi Lei said with some embarrassment: "Wouldn't this mean that Mr. Huo will suffer a lot? And the transaction price is too low. Will the Australian government regulatory authorities think there is something fishy in it? How about taking a median value and we will follow the two hundred Let’s do the deal for five hundred thousand.”
This is really a bit weird. At first, Shi Lei was doing things with the mentality of bargaining with Huo Chengdong, but now he has to take the initiative to raise the price. Fortunately, this is not consumption using the quota, otherwise Shi Lei would really not dare to say such things. As long as the transaction for this task is less than 15 million, Black Card and Scepter will regard it as completed without any penalty.
Huo Chengdong smiled and said: "Mr. Shi, don't be too happy. Auction houses have always had relatively high commissions for art auctions, and in this regard, even if it is a closed-door auction, my friend and I It is impossible to waive these fees. Therefore, the commissions of both parties still need to be borne by Mr. Shi. Coupled with customs clearance fees and some taxes, the total may reach about 2.6 million Australian dollars. . I have no intention of helping Mr. Shi pay for this, so Mr. Shi doesn’t have to think that the price is too cheap. As for the tricky matter, firstly, the local government is unlikely to investigate every detail. As long as the price is not obviously contrary to the market, they will not cause trouble for me."
Shi Lei calculated the accounts again. According to what Huo Chengdong said, what he could finally save was only about two million, which was a lot less than the previous five million, but Shi Lei still felt very satisfied.
"I don't know much about these things, so Mr. Raojo has everything to do with it."
Huo Chengdong smiled and nodded, saying, "It's easy to talk about."
Afterwards, the two just chatted casually. Huo Chengdong kept asking about the current situation in the country. Although it can be seen from media reports and you can learn a lot about China on the Internet, after all, there is no more detailed description from Shi Lei himself. Close to the real state.
Huo Chengdong stayed with Shi Lei for dinner in the evening, and it wasn't until about nine o'clock that Shi Lei said goodbye and left.
After returning to the hotel, the first thing Shi Lei did was go online to confirm whether he had received a bonus for the money he had bet on the betting website. After making inquiries, he found that after deducting relevant expenses, the money he got was converted into soft sister coins according to today's price, which was exactly 1.51 million, no more or less.
There is no doubt that the black card had this idea and asked Shi Lei to come to Australia to carry out the task of purchasing Wanli New Year blue and white porcelain. At the same time, he was allowed to get an independent fund reward of 1.5 million by getting rid of Joseph.
Shi Lei had nothing to say about this. Of course, when communicating with Scepter in the future, he should be more pretentious. But Shi Lei knew that if Heika hadn't sent him to Australia, he wouldn't have remembered that there was Joseph at all, and naturally he wouldn't have been able to earn this money, so it was just a pretense. Moreover, Shi Lei was very suspicious that once he planned to use this method to make money, the black card would probably invalidate his beast language card. Otherwise, Shi Lei has quite a few cards obtained from lottery draws. In theory, Shi Lei can actually use these cards to make money.
Needless to say about animal language cards, Shi Lei can make sure profits without losing money on all animal-related gambling projects. For example, if he goes to Hong Kong Island and bets on horse racing, after using the animal language card, he can easily make all the popular horses lose, and let the unpopular horses that no one is optimistic about win. The opportunity to use the animal language card twice a month is enough for him to easily turn the Hong Kong Jockey Club into his personal cash machine.
As for the ancient martial arts card, Shi Lei only needs to go to Thailand, fight in an underground boxing match in person, and place a bet for himself before the match, and he will definitely make a profit. In half an hour, with the master of martial arts possessed, Shi Lei could pick out ten people in a row. If these were combined, the amount of bonuses would reach an astonishing level.
Even if it's a painting card, Shi Lei can definitely ask any ancient painter to possess him and then draw their works. Even if he can't fetch the sky-high price of the original work, making millions every month is just like a joke.
And Shi Lei will have the opportunity to obtain these cards in the future, which is even more terrifying.
Therefore, using the ability given by the card to make money will most likely not be recognized by the black card, and it will definitely prevent Shi Lei from doing this. For example, the black card easily interfered with the 10,000 yuan that Shi Lei had previously invested, and he was not even prohibited from using the animal language card.
After pondering for a while, Shi Lei found that the funds he had just chosen to withdraw were already in place. Seeing that there was another 1.5 million in cash in his account, Shi Lei became more and more curious.
If he fails to negotiate the deal with Huo Chengdong today, according to the normal situation of the gambling website, it is only 200,000 to 300,000 Australian dollars, and there is no chance of any accident. So, how can the black card prevent Shi Lei from getting this reward?
After all, Shi Lei had just met Huo Chengdong at that time, and it was still early for the matter to be negotiated, and Joseph was already destined to be eliminated in the preliminary round.
Shi Lei was puzzled. He really had to discuss this matter with the scepters after returning home. He had to find out how they could prevent him from getting the 1.5 million bonus, right?
Then Shi Lei transferred 1.2 million to the drug and asked him to help him get it into the account of an offshore company, and then injected it into Qi Xuan's account in the form of investment.
First update guaranteed. I almost forgot to update. The monthly ticket is so small that I can’t even pay more for more. Alas, it’s so sad.
