132 Chapter 131. A New Ambition

At the end of the auction, the rich happily signed checks and took away their collections.

However, for the time being, Wang Bo has not been able to get the money. The money has to go through the account of the tax bureau, and the tax can only enter his hands after the tax is calculated.

But Lao Wang Zhanguang, he will not have to pay a lot of taxes, because he has invested a lot of public infrastructure in small towns, which can be tax deductible.

For example, the last time the "Hymn" was auctioned for more than 20 million yuan, the tax he had to pay was originally as high as 4 million yuan, but in the end he only had to pay less than 1 million yuan. This is unimaginable, but it is legal and compliant : Just the investment and construction of a tertiary road offset those taxes and fees.

Therefore, in this regard, Lao Wang is very open. The investment in the town is carried out in his private name. Although the sunset collar has been changed to the sunset town, it is actually not much different from his territory, and it is used to offset taxes. It could not be better.

After Christie’s took over all the finances, Adams immediately gave him an answer to this harvest:

A legendary pocket watch sold for the highest price of 38 million, a complete set of Indian-style jewelry sold for 16 million, two gold statues combined for 28 million, three silver statues for 12 million, and an emerald snuff bottle sold for 2.5 million, the rosewood cane sold for 1.5 million, and two ivory pistols that once came from the family of the chairman of the East India Company sold for a high price of 4 million.

RB bone china gave Wang Bo a surprise, and the price was 5.5 million, which was much higher than the 2 million estimate given by Adams and Lyle.

In other words, together, the castle antiques in this special auction sold a total of 107.5 million for a high price!

Exceeded expectations!

Although Adams called Wang Bo the youngest billionaire at the beginning, he was just a title, just like a person with an annual income of 800,000 can introduce himself as an annual income of one million.

According to the valuation of Christie's treasure appraisal experts, the total value of these treasures is around 90 million, but the final auction price was 15% higher.

However, this can only be said to be unexpected and reasonable. The final transaction price of the auction is difficult to estimate, because these items are too expensive. If the price of one or two of them fluctuates, the estimate will be in vain.

In fact, at the world's top auctions, price fluctuations of 20% or more are very common. If there is a situation where the auction is over, the price of a lot can fluctuate several times!

Adams shook hands with Wang Bo and said eagerly: "Congratulations, young billionaire, I think today's auction will live in my memory for a long time, it is really a pleasure to witness the birth of a billionaire thing."

Old Wang smiled very low-key, 100 million New Zealand dollars, if he does not develop the town and return to his hometown to become a rich man, then he will not be able to spend so much money in his life, even if he eats sea cucumbers every day.

It's a pity that he really wants to build a top-level town. Besides, he can't let go of the territory now. If there is no territory to provide the lord's energy, what will happen to the lord's heart when the energy is exhausted.

Adams asked Wang Bo how he planned to use the money: "If you want to find a place to vacation or have a good time, I think I can give you some ideas."

Lao Wang thanked him, then shook his head and said, "No, buddy, I'm a mayor, and my town is still under construction, so I don't have any chance to have fun yet."

After a pause, he said again: "Besides, is 100 million New Zealand dollars a lot? As far as I know, the construction of this section of Highway 8 passing through our town alone will cost more than 500 million New Zealand dollars!"

This is what he said from the bottom of his heart, is 100 million New Zealand dollars a lot? Put it into the construction and see, it is estimated that even the prototype of the town will not be built.

Of course, the rudimentary town he mentioned was the rudimentary form of the top town in the world, and it would not cost so much money to build an ordinary town.

Adams appreciates Wang Bo's attitude towards money, which is rational, open-minded and calm.

As an executive of a world-class auction company, he has seen many cases of getting rich overnight. Many ordinary people become rich because of a family antique or a treasure obtained by chance.

Then, these people often cannot bear the pressure of getting rich, start spending money like crazy, and become poor again after a period of squandering.

He has seen a lot of this kind of people, especially young people, but Wang Bo is different from these people, possessing a calmness that is rare for young people.

Confidence, huge money, calmness, ambition, and the sense of responsibility he saw in Wang Bo made Adams interested in Wang Bo. He pondered for a while and said, "Hey, buddy, are you interested in joining Liberty Air? I can be your referral."

Wang Bo didn't understand the Free Flight Club yet, so he politely declined.

Adams is a genius. He understood Wang Bo's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can go and learn about this club. If you want to change your mind, you can come to me at any time."

The auction is over, but Adams still has a lot of things to do. First, he has to arrange for his subordinates to sort out the auction transcripts, and save the entrusted auction contract, auction announcement, auction instructions, special regulations, auction catalog, transaction confirmation letter, auction transcripts, etc. according to the regulations. material.

Secondly, he has to archive the bidder's information and send it to the headquarters database for a record of more than ten years.

Finally, and most importantly, he has to confirm with the accountant the safety of the auction's capital flow, calculate the proceeds, handling fees and commissions, and settle the settlement with the antique owners.

Christie's prepared a dinner at the castle, but not many people stayed to eat.

Half of the people left the castle to return after the auction. Most of the remaining half of the people flew to Queenstown, where they rested overnight and then left. In the end, there were only a dozen or so rich people left.

Regarding this situation, Adams had expected it for a long time. When preparing the dinner, it was arranged according to the standard of thirty people.

Wang Bo sighed: "You are really clever."

Adams smiled wryly, and said, "I really hope I made a mistake. Do you know why they left? That's because my energy and connections are not enough to support such a party."

Wang Bo asked strangely, "What do you mean?"

Charlie next to him explained to him: "The gatherings of these wealthy circles are exquisite, and it takes a lot of face to invite these people to a private party."

In this way, Lao Wang understood, that is to say, Adams's face was not up to the point where he invited so many rich people to stay and participate in his party.

After understanding this truth, Wang Bo couldn't help feeling proud: "Charlie, one day, I will hold a party here again. At that time, I will call all the rich and powerful in New Zealand. I want everyone to come Proud to come to my party!"
