These facts said by Song Ting made Song Ziyu suffer countless critical blows, and his face now seemed to have a fever.

There may be another point, it is not unrealistic to say a little, but Song Ziyu clearly understands one thing in his heart, that is, if Li Huan wants to target him, his disgrace will be a matter of an instant. It's ridiculous that he still wants to use small means to him, and after listening to his father's words, he realized that he was too naïve.

There are two types of opponents in this world, the first type is on a par with oneself, known as a lifelong opponent, and this life is hovering between surpassing and being surpassed. This kind of opponent can still surpass because of his equal strength, hard work, and small tricks. Another kind of opponent, which needs to be looked up to, is so strong that it almost ignores the general rules, even if you use the strength of breastfeeding, don't expect to be able to match it. As for petty means, they can only bring humiliation on themselves.

Flipping open a bottle of wine made by a 15th-century monk of the Abbey of Saint-Viven-de-Vigi, where can such a person be provoked?

The most terrifying thing is that his strength is far more than just wealth.

His father studied the history of the European Middle Ages, and in this respect, he was the world's top expert, and even many European universities invited him to tour, otherwise where would the special state allowance come from? That Li Huan took a delicate girl, casually told the "truth" of history, and subverted all his cognition, in terms of intelligence and cognition, and even in front of his proudest major, he was comprehensively beaten.

What's the use of playing tricks for such people?

Song Ting didn't seem to think it was enough, and said endlessly: "Also, do you know why your Uncle Huang admires him so much? Not only did he save the lives of Uncle Huang's father and son, but when Li Huan was engaged at the banquet, do you know who the people came? It is no exaggeration to say that throwing a bomb at the wedding banquet will cause the country to lose at least seven-tenths of the business elite, and the remaining three-tenths are the establishment. So, even if you don't befriend this kind of character, you have to maintain a certain amount of awe, understand?"

Song Ziyu's face changed a few times.

In the end, he let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had let go of himself: "I understand, I will come to the door tomorrow to apologize in person." ”

Seeing that his son had figured it out, Song Ting finally smiled: "Okay, it's good if you figure it out." Not counting the power and money, there are also a lot of things you can learn from him...... His friend, Professor Fiona, in particular, had been teaching at the school for a few days, and I had come into contact with her, and she was too knowledgeable to believe that she was a young girl! especially in medieval history, and it is no exaggeration to say that she was better than any scholar I had ever met. ”

Fiona has been teaching at the school for three days, and during these three days, in addition to gaining the love of a large number of male students, she has also shocked the professors with her hundreds of years of accumulated knowledge. Fiona teaches history, but she is not weak in other ways. Song Ting has often chatted with Fiona since he heard Fiona's opinions in the office, and Fiona knew the relationship between Song Ting and Li Huan, so she answered truthfully when she was asked.

You know, Fiona has lived from the 15th century to the present day, and even if she is not a scholar, what she has seen and heard is enough to shock any historian and what she has seen with her own eyes, more real than what she has learned from history books.

For example, the famous Genoa seaside market in the Mediterranean, in the concept of the Song court, the Genoese seaside market has an important place in history, it is a port market connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the outside, where you can see all the goods of the Eurasian continent. In addition to these, Fiona was able to tell the story of the fact that the sailors in the port of Genoa liked black bread, that citrus was in demand in the port of Cape Town, that the pirates of Crete would often disguise themselves as merchants to buy and sell goods, and that the milk products of the Athenian city-state were not cared for...... And so on and so forth.

In addition to that, she can even tell what ships from various countries do when they call at port, which trade routes are the busiest, and where pirates like to hang out......

Others know these things from history books, and she saw them with her own eyes......

With the support of a strong knowledge base, Fiona became a celebrity in the school in three days, this young professor with a delicate appearance and good figure, and the limelight has even overtaken Chen Xue. This is also something that can't be helped, in terms of appearance, she is slightly inferior to Chen Xue, but first, Chen Xue is already engaged, and second, as a vampire, charm is talent.

And for college students with explosive hormones, a light mature woman like Fiona is the object of dreams.

Speaking of this, Song Ziyu was already impressed, and he felt that he had done a big stupid thing.

"I'm going to apologize in person early tomorrow morning, I'll definitely go. Song Ziyu said.

"Fortunately, I can change my mistakes, and I deserve to be my son. Okay, he's not such a stingy person, you are so deliberate, but it will make everyone uncomfortable. Song Ting said: "Tomorrow, you go to the bank's appraiser and evaluate that property." I know that you have a hard time opening a gallery abroad, so this money should be used as compensation for your father. As for the high and low, you don't have to comment, if it's high, we'll take it, and don't complain if it's low, making such friends will help you in the future, understand?"

"Understood...... Song Ziyu nodded ashamedly, and then suddenly startled, as if he remembered something: "Oh no! I did a stupid thing in front of me, I have to hurry up and let them stop!"

"What? What else have you done?" Song Ting was shocked, the matter of calling the police was stupid enough.

"I ......" Song Ziyu hesitated for a while and said, "I thought he was using some fakes to trick you, so I contacted some critics to discredit him on the day of the opening of his museum." Those people are some well-known art critics, and they are the best at fishing in troubled waters. When they say the real thing, it becomes a fake!"

When Song Ting heard this, his eyes widened and he slapped the coffee table, and with a snap, the glass on the coffee table in front of the sofa bounced up: "Bastard, how can you do such a thing! Isn't this doing bad things with a clear conscience! Fortunately, you can still wake up, and quickly inform them not to come." Do you know what will happen to you if you make such a fuss? Even if Li Huan doesn't pursue it, if those people behind him are investigated, you won't be able to eat and walk around!"

"I'll call immediately!" Song Ziyu was frightened into a cold sweat by his father's words.

He searched for the phone and dialed them one by one, but his face became unpleasant after a few calls.

"What's wrong?" Song Ting hurriedly asked.

"They wouldn't stop. Song Ziyu said ashamedly: "These critics make money by making hush money from museums by making random comments, they are not hired by me, I just inform them that there is such a place." Now they refuse to stop, saying that even if the things on display on Li Huan's side are real, they will become fake under their comments...... What can I do?"

Song Ziyu had just heard his father finish talking about Li Huan, and when he thought of the consequences of this incident, he felt chills all over his body. After all, these critics were found by themselves, and they really wanted to make Li Huan angry......

"What are you doing? What stupid things are you doing, I know those people, who have no personality at all...... Hey!" Song Ting thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, you go to Li Huan as soon as possible tomorrow and confess this matter to him." We can't control what the consequences will be now, the most important thing is your own attitude, understand?"

"Yes...... But if I do this, will he be angry......" Song Ziyu's face turned a little pale.

"Now that you know you're scared?" Song Ting sighed, looked at his son's face, and secretly said in his heart, he was really quite different from Li Huan, but he still comforted his son: "Don't worry, judging from my contact, he is not such a stingy person." As long as you sincerely apologize, he will not do anything to you. ”

"I understand, I'll go early tomorrow morning!" Song Ziyu hurriedly said.

……

Early the next morning.

Li Huan got up as usual to make breakfast, and after eating with everyone, he planned to drive Fiona and Chen Xue to school. Chen Xue is now in the name of her fiancée, and she is justifiably staying in Li Huan's house. As for Fiona, Chen Xue didn't mind, Huan's father and mother didn't say anything, and they also lived in Li Huan's house, which was a super bodyguard.

After eating, Chen Xue helped put away the dishes and chopsticks, Li Huan opened the door and planned to drive, but as soon as he opened the door, he almost startled the people at the door.

Take a closer look, isn't this Song Ziyu?

"Professor Song, what are you doing?" Li Huan's face was expressionless, although he proposed to buy Song Ting's property at the original price, but it was also for Song Ting's face, he didn't have a good impression of this Song Ziyu at all, so he simply teased: "Even if you want to take the money, it's a little early now, right?

"Mr. Li, don't say it, I know what I did wrong, my father talked to me for a long time last night, and I realized how completely wrong I was!" Song Ziyu looked ashamed, and explained that he had called the police to accuse Li Huan last night because of jealousy, and bowed ninety degrees: "Please forgive me, this is all because I am too small and jealous! As for receiving money or something, don't be joking!"

"...... like this" Li Huan pondered for a while, and finally smiled faintly: "Okay, if you know it's wrong, it's no problem, at least the big husband dares to act." Actually, I also have something wrong with this matter, causing trouble in your class...... Now that everyone has said it, it's no problem. Don't take this matter to heart. As for the money, you must collect it, and I have decided on this matter, you can find an appraiser from the bank to come over, and we can transfer the account according to the appraisal price. That's fine, after all, I'm going to use that place as my private museum in the future, so it's only natural to buy it like this. ”

The more Li Huan said this, the more ashamed Song Ziyu became.

Sure enough, just as his father said, he sincerely apologized, and Li Huan did not pursue it at all.

After Li Huan finished speaking, he walked towards his car, but he didn't take two steps, but he was stopped by Song Ziyu again, and he turned around: "Professor Song, is there anything else? ”

Song Ziyu hesitated, gritted his teeth, and finally told Li Huan what he confessed last night: "I was jealous for a while, so I did this stupid thing." But now those critics who eat by smearing refuse to stop, and I've thought of a lot of ways......"

"That's ......" Li Huan muttered: "It's okay, just let them come." ”

"You don't understand, they specialize in smearing and then collecting hush money to eat, no matter whether your stuff is true or not, they have a way to tell you that it is fake!" Song Ziyu hurriedly explained, and then gritted his teeth: "I think so, how much you pay for the hush money, you will deduct it from the money of the small manor, this is my own sin, and I can't bring you losses." ”

"It's okay for Professor Song to have this heart. Li Huanwaner: "I have a way to deal with these people." In this way, I will not delay you, you go to the bank's professional as soon as possible to evaluate, and I will transfer you as soon as the appraisal price comes out. Questions?"

"No ......" Song Ziyu was stunned, could it be that this Li Huan is really so strong that he is not afraid of a professional-stirring stick?

Professional-stirring sticks and the like, Li Huan is definitely not afraid, if a qi refiner is afraid of ordinary people to make trouble, it is really ridiculous in the world. No matter who wants to discredit Li Huan's industry, find out about the soul spell. Qi refiners can't make a move on ordinary people, Li Huan's spell is not within the scope of qi refiners, and to say that it is heavenly, Li Huan is trying to protect his own interests, not taking the initiative.

Therefore, Li Huan completely ignored the existence of any international-stirring stick.

Song Ting's small manor was finally valued at 47 million, and after Li Huan paid the full amount, he was satisfied that this place finally belonged to him, and a long line of cars stopped in front of Li Huan's unopened museum.

The first is Huang Cheng's car, behind this car, there are more than a dozen different license plates, but at least they are all Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S series commercial sedans, which look extremely magnificent. Li Huan was curious, his museum hadn't opened yet, why did so many people come? What kind of trouble did Huang Cheng make about? Just as he was puzzled, he saw Professor Huang and Song Ting get out of the car that was the first to start.

In Li Huan's puzzled eyes, Professor Huang explained to Li Huan that after consulting with Song Ting, he felt that Li Huan's private museum should be hyped up. The old men they brought with them were invariably not top figures in the art and antiques trades.

"We are ready to apply for a special subsidy for the national art category. Professor Huang said: "I and Lao Song Yi combined, you can't just open this place, you must do it!"

"Why? What special subsidy?" Li Huan was a little confused.

"When you shipped these things back to China, you took a special channel, and there was no tax, right?" Song Ting asked with a smile, he just pointed out "special", and did not guess what channel Li Huan took, of course, he did not mention the sensitive word "smuggling".

"This ...... Do you still have to pay taxes?" Li Huan was taken aback.

"According to our relevant tax laws, if the art enters the customs, you have to pay the relevant taxes and fees, even if you use it for collection and do not buy and sell, you have to apply for approval from the relevant departments. However, this kind of approval is generally not approved, and even if it is approved, the time for the application is enough for you to wait until the end of the day. Song Ting explained: "So our old guys have thought of a way to open a breakthrough here and set up a model for our domestic collectors." What's more, you can even promote the return of our lost cultural relics overseas, do you know what a big thing this is!"

"I don't know much, what is the connection with the domestic collection industry? Not to mention the return of overseas cultural relics, don't you let me pay to buy them?" Li Huan was surrounded by a group of old men, with a puzzled expression. Although he is rich, he is not able to buy cultural relics that have been lost abroad.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Professor Huang came out and explained everything.

These people are here to seek change.

Speaking of which, the domestic collecting industry is now facing a huge embarrassment, that is, the relevant laws and regulations are not perfect.

There are many private museums in China, but due to the domestic laws and regulations on the collection of cultural relics and artworks, private venues cannot receive any good things, such as early bronzes, or cultural relics within the scope of national treasures, which must be handed over to the state. This is the law, and private individuals are not allowed to buy and sell cultural relics above the second grade.

Of course, works by modern masters can, but these works are often priceless, and most of them are also in the collection of the National Museum of Art, so in China, private museums are in a very awkward position. As a result, many private museums have set their sights on foreign collections, and in recent years, the news has heard of collectors who spend a lot of money on art overseas.

Overseas artworks are not within the scope of national protection of cultural relics.

But don't think that's going to be fine.

It is also very troublesome for domestic collectors to buy art overseas and want to return it to China. The art imported from outside the country is classified into the art ranks, and luxury goods are naturally subject to heavy taxes. Tariffs were initially as high as 12 percent, and then slowly lowered to 3 percent now. This tax rate seems very low, but don't forget that after the tariff, there is a 17% value-added tax that cannot be escaped regardless of life and death, and a 5% domestic business tax If you get the approval, the business tax can be exempted, but this approval is generally not given, except for going through special channels of the state, which is equivalent to extinction.

Assuming that Li Huan's famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci is worth 100 million US dollars, then if he brings back this famous painting through formal channels, Li Huan needs to pay a tax of up to 16 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 140 million yuan when converted into RMB......

Li Huan's eyes almost fell to the ground after hearing this: "Then who else will buy art from abroad?"

A $100 million masterpiece brought in from abroad will cost 100 million yuan in taxes alone, not counting the sale, and if you count the sale, you will have to add an additional 5 percent business tax. What is the value of these artworks brought back by Li Huan? 5 billion, 10 billion, or more?

Don't forget, what Li Huan brought back were all peerless boutiques that were looted during the Nazi period in a vain attempt to make a comeback. If we look at it from the artist's point of view, for example, let Song Ting appraise it, don't look at Li Huan's net worth now, if he pays this tax, he may go bankrupt on the spot.

This is a big sadness in the current domestic collection industry, the good things in China cannot be received, and the good things abroad are received, and they dare not take them home, because if they take too much, they are likely to go bankrupt in situ. In this regard, it is indeed incomparable with many developed countries, most of which have zero tax rates on artworks. That is to say, no matter if you buy it abroad with stealing and robbing, as long as you get it back to China, not only will people not collect taxes, but they will also have policy protection.

In China, this tax rate is too heavy.

With the rise of the economy in recent years, many collectors in China are now trying their best to bring back the things of their ancestors who have been displaced overseas. But unfortunately, this tax rate is like a floodgate of progress, firmly blocking out the treasures that should have returned to China. Without the support of relevant national policies, it is simply a joke to want to collect cultural relics scattered overseas, or enrich folk collections.

Li Huan is patriotic with his hands and feet, but when he heard this tax rate, he was shocked, not to mention others, it would be polite not to jump up and scold his mother.

Of course, in recent years, the state has also understood this truth, and has sought to change this status quo, but unfortunately it has not been able to find a breakthrough.

Once this breakthrough is opened, more artworks will return.

And Li Huan is just a breakthrough.

"Moreover, we have jointly signed a letter asking you to implement special disposal of this batch of artworks, with zero tax rate, and you don't have to bear such heavy taxes. Professor Huang said, after he finished speaking, he pointed to the people who got out of the car behind him and said: "These are all well-known experts and scholars from various provinces and cities, and they also came with the same idea. ”

Can promote national legislation and change the status quo that lost overseas cultural relics cannot be returned, Li Huan listened to it, and immediately felt that this was a very meaningful thing, he nodded and said: "Okay, it sounds like a good thing, then I will trouble you to worry about it." ”

"I'll leave this matter to us, but your opening date may have to be postponed a bit, after all, there are still a lot of formalities in this area. Song Ting said with a smile: "Don't worry, your private museum, on the day it opens, the name will be resounding all over the country, and it is likely to change the embarrassing status quo of the return of cultural relics in our country from now on...... By the way, how are you going to name it?"

Li Huan pondered for a moment: "I thought I could handle some gemstone paintings at the beginning, and I didn't think so far. As soon as you say that, I don't think you can wait for it, anyway, I haven't announced the switch time, just delay it, as long as it's for the good of the country...... Repatriation of cultural relics...... So, I'm going to call it 'Blank', what do you think?"

"Blank?" everyone was stunned.

"Yes, blank, we will always leave blank for the most important things, and before we recall all our outgoing cultural relics, the most conspicuous position of our venue, will always be blank!" Li Huan said.

"Good! good name!" the crowd savored the meaning and applauded.
