Chapter 1654 Going Further and Further on the Road to the Pit King
? The arrival of two pickup trucks has greatly improved the efficiency of transportation. The last six or seven hundred black luggage bags were shipped out in two trips.
However, it took more than two hours, mainly due to the delay in the transportation process at sea, and the two speedboats were already fully loaded.
When the two pickups parked in the underground garage and the bodyguards exited, Andy lowered the garage door and activated the security system. The transoceanic journey of gold treasure worth tens of billions of dollars officially ended.
Since then, these golden treasures that have just been seen again will be hidden again, but their owner has become Andy Smith, who will become the powerful heritage of his family and leave a legacy for his descendants. Under the last insurance.
"Hi, Emily, good morning, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"
"Good afternoon, Ivana, I'm fine here, how about you? I'm feeling pregnant already, I wish you well..."
Andy, who was sitting by the side, twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, and saw Li Xiaoying and Ivana, who had obvious unnatural expressions on the computer monitor, exchanging greetings.
"Okay, honey, you can talk again when you have time, I need to hear her report on work."
Ivana gave Andy an angry and charming look, and said coquettishly, "Okay, okay, I won't disturb your work!"
Saying that, she waved her hand at the smiling Li Xiaoying at the camera and said, "Emily, let's talk later."
"Okay, let's talk later." Li Xiaoying responded with a smile and nodded.
When Ivana disappeared from sight, Li Xiaoying's face in the video window changed slightly, and she stared coldly at Andy, who was smiling.
"Snapped!"
In the video window, Li Xiaoying dragged a folder, typed it on the desktop with a little force, and started to report the work indifferently without any words, which made Andy, who was about to say something, smile wryly.
Li Xiaoying's work report was concise and quick, and she didn't give Andy a chance to intervene. She waited until she finished the report, gave her a blank look, and was about to turn off the video. Andy smiled helplessly: "Okay, my fault, I It wasn't meant to embarrass you either.
By the way, what is the reaction of the Chinese zodiac to Christie's upcoming auction of the 12 zodiac rabbits and rat bronze heads? "
In Li Xiaoying's white eyes,
Andy could only think of a way to divert her thinking, and asked about a matter that all walks of life in China were paying attention to.
Hearing Andy's question, Li Xiaoying, who knew that he was very interested in these antiques, frowned slightly.
"Don't touch the heads of the two zodiac animals. The French court in Paris rejected the request of the Chinese lawyers to prohibit the auction of the bronze statues of rat heads and rabbit heads lost in the Yuanmingyuan.
A group of savage robbers robbed it at the beginning, and now the descendants of this group of robbers want to blackmail the original owner of the treasure, it is really shameless!
Hehe, to be honest, I really admire Christie's toughness. Under the tough negotiations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the protests of the whole people, they did not withdraw the auction.
I really don't know, where does their auction company get the confidence to compete with a revived big country.
To be honest, this auction is likely to develop into a farce, and whoever touches these two beast heads will have a 'misunderstanding' with the big market of the Celestial Dynasty.
As for Christie's, hehe, look, they will pay enough for their arrogance and ignorance! At that time, they will know that everything they are doing now is an act of clowns! "
Hearing Li Xiaoying's indignant words with sarcasm, Andy happily changed the topic easily, and at the same time shook his head and laughed. He naturally knew that what happened later was similar to Li Xiaoying's guess.
The French Pinault family, the controllers of Christie's, later donated the rabbit and rat heads to China for free, which received positive comments from China.
After all, who knows who suffers!
"Christie's also sent me an invitation letter, but regarding the value of the two bronze animal heads, I don't think they can be set at such a high price. This is obviously a hype, to make money from the Chinese people."
To be honest, Andy didn't want to touch these two animal heads at first, and he felt extremely indignant about it in his previous life, but he didn't have the ability to change anything, so he could only let his mouth go.
But now, it's completely different. However, if he really wants to spend tens of millions of euros to take pictures and donate for free, to be honest, he doesn't have such a big head yet!
If I remember correctly, this auction was messed up by a businessman from the Celestial Dynasty, and he didn't pay for the auction. Although it was very relieved, it also brought some credibility crises to the later Celestial Dynasty buyers when they participated in the international auction, such as Capital verification, security deposit and the like.
On the issue of the animal head, a strange logical circle has formed. On the one hand, there is a loud "crusade" and auction of "stolen goods" in China, and on the other hand, the "worth" of animal heads is increasing day by day, gradually becoming the so-called "national treasure" that records the history of humiliation in the hearts of most people.
And whether it is the auction house or those treasure hunters, they will use this sentiment to hype the value and seek greater commercial benefits.
Now it seems that it can be operated to make a good pit of the French.
I believe that after the auction is over, Christie's will become the target of public criticism in China, and it will even be difficult for them to move forward. After they have learned enough lessons, I believe Christie's will find a way to get an understanding, unless they are willing to give up the incomparable temptation of the collection craze that China has slowly stirred up. Big cake for people.
The big eastern country that has always been "convincing people with virtue" will teach Christie's how to behave. At that time, it will need to "untie the bell and tie the bell". These two animal heads will become key items.
Andy is very much looking forward to the time when the owner of Christie's, the Pino family, is looking for these two animal heads everywhere, wanting to buy the scene donated to China. When they find that the animal heads have been sold, they will definitely try their best to buy them back. .
"Pino" is a well-known family name in France. This family has created a huge empire, which owns the world's third largest luxury brand Italy Gucci, Saint Laurent, Boucheron, Balenciaga and a series of internationally renowned luxury brands. product brand.
In addition, he also controls the well-known sports brands Puma, Christie's, the famous French "Focus" magazine, and France 1, which accounts for one-third of the French ratings. The family's net assets exceed 15 billion US dollars.
Tsk tsk, you can make a good fortune!
Li Xiaoying looked at Andy's slightly squinted eyes, touched his chin, and had a sinister smile on the corner of his upturned mouth, knowing that he had some evil intentions and wanted to deceive others.
"By the way, when are you going to start the Jeju Island project? Hanks from HK has already called me several times. As long as the company is established, the funds will be available immediately."
"Oh?"
Andy raised his eyebrows, was pulled out of his thoughts, thought for a while and said: "I will let the two of Alpine go over, and for the time being, you will be responsible for setting up the framework of the Jeju Island company first, and then start a Cayman Islands company." company of."
With this arrangement one day, I knew that he was going to use the most shameless trick to avoid taxes, that is, use Company B in Cayman to sue Company A in Jeju Island, and then Company A would lose the lawsuit and pay all the money to Company B. In this way, There is no need to pay a penny of tax. To put it bluntly, the Bangzi government will not want to get tax from Andy. Li Xiaoying shook her head, a little funny and rolled her eyes at the shameless Andy.
