Chapter 187

    For the boss''s words, Oliver did not have the slightest abdominal Fei, but he nodded deeply.


    Although his boss''s so-called "help" does mean robbing the fire, for cage, who is deeply in debt crisis at this time, his boss''s help is indeed a big help to the other party. At least cage has the money to repay the tax deduction of $13.3 million at one stroke, so as to get rid of the biggest trouble he has to face.


    "Indeed, you did him a great favor this time." Oliver looked at Arthur with a puzzled look and continued to smile and explain: "for an actor who was once worth 150 million dollars, tax deduction of less than 14 million dollars seems nothing, but according to my understanding, a Hollywood star like cage has to earn at least 30 million dollars a year to make a living.


    These figures seem to be exaggerated, but that''s the truth. According to my friend, cage''s real estate consultant told me the truth is that about half of Nicholas Cage''s previous net worth came from four films, "60 second movie," "national treasure," "snake eye" and "Whisperer.". But that was a few years ago. In other words, cage now has to get another movie like "national treasure" or cut his spending to get out of the debt crisis. "


    "Ha, no wonder..." Arthur shook his head and sighed with a smile. Cage''s indifference in his previous life soon made him degenerate into the world-famous "king of rotten films", and was repeatedly nominated for the "golden raspberry Award" as the worst actor, and was also known as "epic box office poison". It''s not sad to see the value plummet to $2 million.


    "To be honest, these stars'' wealth comes and goes quickly, and they are very luxurious, consume crazily and invest in a disorderly way, so it''s hard to accumulate wealth." Oliver shook his head and looked at his smiling boss and continued, "boss, at 8:30 tonight, Nicholas Cage will be invited to your dinner at the four seasons hotel restaurant. He also told his real estate consultant that he was looking forward to meeting you."


    "Well, I''m looking forward to it, too." Arthur smiles and nods. However, under Oliver''s series of commentaries, fans'' expectation of idols is not so enthusiastic.


    Seeing Oliver off, Arthur sat on the boss''s chair, pondered, shook his head and laughed. No wonder the female stars like to marry rich businessmen. The fundamental reason is that the landlords have no surplus food.


    When it comes to surplus grain, Arthur still appears in the company''s office on rainy days for the precious antiques that were handed over to David''s for sale in Asia.


    The auction was over, and it was a great success. All Arthur''s collections were successfully traded, and the amount of money sold was very satisfactory to Arthur.


    It has to be said that, as Arthur began to expect, the aura of a British aristocrat and count family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, makes these antiques marked with a preconceived inheritance order label. The return of overseas cultural relics undoubtedly makes some big collectors very willing to bid for these antiques in the auction.


    Of course, in the eyes of large collectors, all the collections auctioned back from auction houses will have legal source certificates and records of auction transactions, which will be more convenient for future transactions.


    Arthur took out his mobile phone to find out the e-mail sent by the auction house again. Looking at the details listed above, Arthur had to sigh. No wonder they said that in the antique market, the rich in China created hundreds of millionaires who "made a fortune overnight" for western countries every year.


    Wang Jianqing is a landscape painter of 370000 pounds.


    Wang Su, a painter of Qing Dynasty, wrote a collection of twenty four filial piety pictures and texts for 50000 pounds.


    Wang Shan, a painter of the Qing Dynasty, has 350 thousand pounds of ancient water.


    Wang Shishen''s painting album of Cordyceps, one of the eight monsters in Yangzhou, was sold for an astonishing 640000 pounds.


    In addition to bafangjixueshi, there are 22 others, with a total price of 1.54 million pounds, averaging 70 thousand pounds per square seal stone. The total price of eight square chicken blood stones is more than 1.1 million pounds, and the price of each side is more than 130 thousand pounds.


    The reason why twenty-eight seals can be sold at such a high price is mainly due to the influence of the current seal collection warming up. The sudden increase in the number of seal stone buyers drives up the market price. Seal stone prices generally doubled, like Arthur''s chicken blood stone, more than doubled.


    Three foot Xuande censer, 130000 pounds.


    At the end of Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, huimengchen made purple clay copper teapot with a turnover of 60000 pounds.


    The gold-plated single ear double vase made in Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was finally sold for a staggering 220000 pounds. You know, he only spent 4750 pounds at that time... That''s a 46 fold increase!


    4.46 million pounds!


    "Hoo --"


    "sure enough, it''s still the rich people of the Chinese dynasty, and they don''t need money!" Arthur shook his head again and sighed, but the curve of his mouth showed how happy he was at this time.


    However, when he was happy, he sighed and shook his head. In his previous life, he also admired the behavior of those rich people who went out to buy back national treasures. However, after operating for a while, Arthur understood the true meaning of it.


    In the eyes of the westerners, most of the so-called "national treasures" bought by the rich from abroad are just the things lost by an ancient oriental country on the road. Even if the yuan blue and white flowers, which are supposed to be "only 300 pieces", are not sold by others in one year?Arthur even doubted and firmly believed that the so-called yuan and Ming dynasty porcelains of the Qing and Ming dynasties would never be sold out if the rich and the rich did not need money. Maybe they would sell more and more...


    As for what traditional civilization value is highly determined by Westerners... Overseas treasure, let Westerners see our rise, high spirited...


    Now, in Arthur''s eyes, it is full of unspeakable meaning.


    You should know that the things that can be bought back are not really exquisite products. The best cultural relics are still in the hands of foreigners. More and more real national treasures are still in foreign museums. People will not sell those things to you for how much money you pay!


    "Dong Dong --"


    the knock on the door interrupted Arthur''s emotion and sigh. He put away his mobile phone and said, "please come in --"


    "boss, the lawyer James Cronin and the person in charge of grand Vader''s auction house are here The secretary who pushed the door in reported.


    "Invite them in." With that, Arthur got up from the boss''s chair, pulled the button slogan of his suit, pulled down the hem of his suit, walked around the desk with a smile on his face, and stood upright waiting for the guests to push the door in.


    Soon, under the leadership of secretary Jane, Arthur''s personal lawyer James and the person in charge of grand Vader''s auction house in Boleyn Castle last time came in.


    "Good morning, boss." James, the lawyer, took the lead in greeting him. Arthur nodded with a smile and looked at the person in charge of grand Vader''s auction house. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party who hastened forward.


    "Good morning, dear Lord..."


    "Good morning..."


    After a little exchange of greetings, Arthur smiles and reaches for the two people to take their seats, and asks the Secretary to make drinks according to their requirements. When Arthur sits in the boss''s chair, he naturally unbuttons his suit, puts his hands across his desk, and says with a smile, "after receiving your e-mail, I''m very happy and surprised, which is beyond my expectation. It seems that when the primary election It is absolutely right to choose your business. "


    " thank you for your appreciation. It''s our pleasure to cooperate with you, which is also what we hope to see most. " The person in charge of the auction house said with a smile.


    To tell the truth, the other party didn''t think that he was the loser of the family collection before, and suddenly became the most popular billionaire. This shocked and surprised him. At the same time, he was also glad that he did not show any disrespect. After all, it is not easy to develop a multi billion rich customer.


    "Ha ha, I think it''s reported that your bank''s Asian autumn shooting was very successful. Although it''s a little late now, I still want to congratulate your bank on its success." Arthur said with a smile.


    "Thank you. Thank you for the collection you gave us to operate, which enriched our autumn auction collection. Especially your set of 28 seal stones caused a great sensation. Many collectors flocked to it and made our auction atmosphere very warm." The head of the auction house smiles and flatters Arthur.


    "Really? That''s really great. To be honest, when I saw the amount in the email, I was really surprised. When I lamented your profession, I had to sigh that the present Chinese dynasty is really reviving." Said Arthur, pretending to be surprised and pleased.


    "It is true that the present Chinese dynasty has indeed risen. Since its opening up, a large number of rich people have been created. Although they feel a bit like upstarts, their investment in antique culture is indeed shocking. However, it is understandable that, after all, art and antiques are the carriers that can enrich wealth and are easier to inherit.


    I also have a lot of rich Chinese friends who are crazy about their country''s ancient civilization heritage The head of the auction house shook his head and laughed and continued: "they have feelings that we can''t understand. Although they don''t understand, I appreciate and respect their high spirits."


    “。。。” Arthur smile, did not say anything, but in the heart can not help but curse a, "you TM is to appreciate them when the big head!"


    "Look at me, I''ve been chatting, and I''ve almost forgotten the business. Count Arthur, you''ve made a total of 4.46 million pounds from your auction. According to our previous agreement, we charge 10% commission, 446000 pounds. This is a check of 4014000 pounds. Please have a look at it," said the head of the auction house and took out a letter from his briefcase Feng, hands to Arthur.
