In many states in the United States, there is consumption tax and value-added tax on purchases, and Zhou Shi's secretarial team members have used many methods to avoid these taxes. For example, to trade in tax-free places, such as tax free day transactions, such as consumption tax refunds. Then, in order to avoid trouble, they actually asked Zhou Shi to touch the private plane to pick up this batch of cultural relics. Chen Wen, who owns the management of the aircraft, actually agreed. It's just that there is some trouble in China, the tax rate on imported art in the mainland is about 17%, and if you declare it truthfully, then you will have to pay 3~400 million taxes. If you don't pay it, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, such as reselling, mortgage, and it will be difficult to go abroad.

In fact, there is more than one local tyrant in China, and there is not only one Zhou Shi who is willing to pay money to buy antiques. The acquisition of Chinese art hosted by Tianhe Securities is not the only one who pays for it, and the well-known person who learned the news and joins Liu Yiqian, who is the guy who used 230 million soft girl coins to buy a cup of tea. There are also many unknown people involved, but of course Zhou Shi has to charge a service fee, and there is a big barrier to entry. Ultimately, by now, the entire acquisition has cost nearly $1 billion. Some of these people directly brought in the cultural relics, some reduced the value of the cultural relics to pay taxes, some paid taxes honestly after picking up the leaks, and many like Zhou Shi and Liu Yiqian, because the value was too high, they put these shareholders in the tax-free Xiangjiang rented warehouse for one day, and then airlifted all the artworks back to China for exhibition the next day.

This matter has reached the final stage, which has attracted the attention of some overseas media, and will soon be over, Ma Weidu also returned to China and opened a special exhibition area in his museum, where Zhou Shi and Ma Yun went.

"Mr. Ma, how did you get this time?" Zhou Shi

"Very good, thanks to Mr. Zhou. "Ma Weidu

"It's also because you didn't take all the good stuff away, or I'd have been replaced, but I hope you can forgive me for my actions. Zhou Shi said directly that he is not the kind of good citizen, and he completely trusts the other party when he chooses someone. He believes even more that only with internal supervision and checks and balances can an organization be considered a qualified organization. In order to prevent these experts from putting all the valuable things in their private collections, Zhou Shi found another person and set up a lot of tests. Fortunately, Ma Weidu's IQ and EQ are good. Their partnership was able to start and end.

"Haha, what's this, if you don't test and supervise, I will look down on you, you can be considered a qualified leader in this way. "Ma Weidu

"What's wrong, what did Zhou Shi do?"

"He sent two billion to buy antique cultural relics, in the middle of which he examined the character and ability of several of us, I think it's nothing, only such meticulous and serious people are trustworthy, not only me, other rich people also think so, there are many individuals who want to establish a more in-depth cooperative relationship with Mr. Zhou. "Ma Weidu

"Really? Then I thank Mr. Ma for his love, I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise this time. Although Zhou Shi said this, he actually had this idea for a long time, although the number of rich people who went out together this time was not much, but the quality was good. For Tianhe Securities, this is a good opportunity to expand its business. Establish trust between each other, and then spread the name of Tianhe Securities through such things, which is a living and efficient advertising carrier.

"Hey, why don't I have any money, you guys have a good time this time!"

"Although the price of the auction house is very expensive, the price of the local Chinese shareholders in Europe is not high, and we have not only acquired Chinese antiques this time, but also a lot of European antiques."

"European antiques, there are no flaws in the legal aspect!" said Ma Ali

"Everywhere we go, Mr. Zhou has prepared more than two professional lawyers for us, and so far, there have been no legal disputes, and all procedures are legal and compliant. Ma Weidu also said seriously that he played a leading role in this operation.

"What did you all buy?"

"Let's go, take you to the warehouse. "Ma Weidu

Zhou and Ma followed them to the warehouse of the Guanfu Museum. Listening to Ma Weidu's introduction of cultural relics and antiques, Zhou Shi also felt a different kind of charm at this time, wandering in the historical flow of China, his heart was very calm.

"These are only a part, according to Mr. Zhou's instructions, the price is more than 10 million US dollars, that is, less than 100 million US dollars, so the number of cultural relics acquired this time is a bit large. However, most of them are rare types in China, and those with aesthetic value will at least triple the purchase price in China in terms of price. "Ma Weidu

"I didn't expect Zhou Shi to make a lot of money buying cultural relics, and he really deserves to be the little god of wealth in China. Ma Ali lamented that the speed of making money is really not as fast as Zhou Shi. You can make money in any way.

"Yes, the profits of cultural relics trade are indeed very high, but it is difficult to have such an opportunity in the future, and later, many European and American players also followed us and robbed us of a lot of things, some of which are really a pity. "Ma Weidu

"It's hard for us to take advantage of anything, as long as people are okay, cultural relics are dead, but people are alive, Mr. Ma may be able to cultivate one or two master artists in the future, and we can recreate the art of this era." "Zhou Shi

"Oh, that's what you really think? what do you think of artifacts?"

"So to speak!" Zhou Shi, "I bought so many cultural relics, in order to inherit and carry forward, the most important thing is to create, without creation without innovation, this nation will not have vitality, so I want to make some contributions to the field of art, to see if I can cultivate, I can't say that I can cultivate, it should be said that I have discovered a few master-level figures" Zhou Shi

"There are too many things passed down by our ancestors, so we have too many burdens, and it is not easy to inherit, and it is too difficult to innovate again and then there are masters. "Ma Weidu

"Yes, so I want to buy Lao Fengxiang to give those creators more creative space, and I will also comprehensively improve the treatment standards of designers within my company. And through the Internet and other channels, more publicity aesthetic knowledge and domestic design industry elites and masters. ”

Mom sells batches, what is this, God turned to Lao Fengxiang, for Mao there is no Jingdezhen porcelain master?

Zhou Shi didn't know the complaints of the two people surnamed Ma, and even if he knew, he didn't care, what he was best at was to make a start, and let others do the rest. This has become a habit, and he can't be asked to do everything, right? Just like the antique purchase he organized this time, why it was not silently shipped to China, it was because there was a lot of profit margin, and some people who could not participate in it stared at it, so they had to transit through Xiangjiang.

Zhou Shi's method may work, innovative design, which is trendy, form your own design style, and then learn from and absorb the essence of traditional Chinese culture may be easier to become a master. "Maali

"yes, it doesn't work to walk in the right direction, but it may work in the opposite direction. "Ma Weidu

yes, maybe!
