Sell the painting or keep it in the collection?

Chen Mo couldn't make up his mind and looked at the art collection on the Internet......

Picasso's paintings are highly collectible, and that's right. The so-called antique gold in the prosperous era, it is difficult for a major war to break out in today's society, and the value of Picasso's paintings must have risen steadily.

The value of this painting, Stephen gave an estimate of 43 million.

700 acres of vineyards will be built, and about 20 million will be needed. With fixed assets and a fairly stable annual income, it is not difficult to find a bank loan of 20 million US dollars, and a huge loan is 1.5 million yuan a year according to the interest rate of 7 to 8 yuan.

"Chen Mo, go downstairs to eat. Stephen shouted downstairs as he finished dinner.

The guy opened another bottle of wine and carefully divided it there, that is, divided the large bottle of wine into several small bottles that were specially made for purpose.

Chen Mo didn't mind Stephen drinking the wine in the cellar, just for the sake of his body, he strictly controlled the amount of alcohol he drank every day.

"Is it better to sell this painting or continue to collect it?" Chen Mo asked when he went to the kitchen to bring dinner.

"It's up to you to make up your own mind. Your current financial situation, it is better to sell ...... If you find a bank loan of 20 million, you need a 5-year loan calculated according to the output of the manor, and the annual interest is about 8%. In other words, if there are no problems with the operation of Canyon Manor, you will be able to repay the loan in five years. Stephen brought a delicate small wine bottle over and poured half a glass for Chen Mo.

"Sell this painting without chasing inheritance tax?"

Stephen shook his head: "No, but there is a capital gains tax." and cannot be sold in the United States...... This painting is not on the heritage list, and you are not an American, so there is no need to ask for trouble. ”

The next day, Stephen contacted Zhang Feng to come over and sign the contract.

Chen Mo found Elson and asked him to accompany him to Sonoma County to find a decoration company to come and decorate the house. Hilltop villas and vineyard chalets......

After doing this, Chen Mo and Stephen flew directly to Hong Kong.

A few years ago, Stephen took a lot of effort to secretly send the 'Three Women' to the United States. This time, the two of them blatantly passed through the security check, and Stephen really sweated for Chen Mo.

Although the probability of airport security personnel recognizing the 'three women' is not high, they are not afraid of 10,000.

Stephen thought that the 'three women' were in the suitcase, and after staying at the Hilton Hotel in Hong Kong, Chen Mo took out the painting from the space and went to Christie's together.

This painting is recorded at Christie's in Hong Kong, and it was brought with it along with the invoice from a few years ago, but none of the relevant appraisal procedures were left behind, and after confirming that it was genuine, the auction house contacted the buyer for Chen Mo. Haggling, 'Three Women' sold for $46 million, $3 million more than Stephen's estimate of $43 million.

"A broken painting is worth 46 million, where is that thing beautiful. After completing the transaction and coming out of the auction, Chen Mo was a little skeptical that his artistic cells were really that bad.

Stephen spread his hands: "Art is always something that we mortals can't understand. ”

Picasso was a prolific artist, and tens of thousands of his works have been handed down. The man's fame was so great that he could buy more than a million dollars for a casual painting. 'Three Women' is a work by Picasso during his mature years, and it is large...... But Chen Mo still couldn't see it. It's just three women bathing, and the woman in the painting is not beautiful......

went to the bank first, and Chen Mo transferred 20 million to the account of the manor. The money was used to build vineyards and repair the estate. The remaining more than 24 million (tax deductions and commissions), Stephen did not advise Chen Mo to invest, so he stayed in the bank.

"I have to go back to the United States, Zhang Feng is waiting for the money to boil, and if he doesn't take the money back, that guy has to go crazy. Stephen bought his plane ticket and said.

"I'll go home. Chen Mo beckoned a taxi, opened the door for Stephen, sat down, and continued: "I found a renovation company for the house in Alat Mountain, you can help watch it when you go back." ”

Stephen looked sad: "Are you going to leave me alone and move outside?"

Stephen's resentful little appearance, the taxi driver couldn't help but glance back with a strange expression.

"The house I live in now has been converted into an office...... There are so many houses in the manor, you can't pick one yourself. Chen Mo had goosebumps all over his body, and the two old men lived together, which was too greasy.

Stephen laughed: "Just leave me a room, it's too lonely to live alone." Well, the wooden house on the side of the hill is also good, I can live there. ”

"You can live wherever you want. Anyway, the house is quite big......" Chen Mo looked at the taxi driver, this guy's expression was really weird.

Arriving at the airport, Stephen's flight had already opened the security check. Watching him leave, Chen Mo took out the phone and called Chen Xiao: "Hey, are you in class?"

"No, it's the weekend. I played games with my sisters in my dorm room......"

"I'm in Hong Kong. Ready for a trip home...... Do you want me to come and see you? Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Chek. At which airport, I'll go right over. ”

"Wait, I'll buy the ticket first. Chen Mo went to buy a ticket, 3:30 minutes, half an hour before takeoff, and he had to go to the security check to get the ticket: "At half past three, Pudong Airport." It should be six o'clock in Pudong. ”

"No problem, I'll go now. Chen Xiao cheered happily: "Sisters, my brother saw that I was coming, bye-bye." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao's heart was overjoyed, and she was teased by her roommate: "Your love brother." So happy, don't you bring us along?"

"My brother, a super handsome guy with the same father and mother. I'm going out......" Chen Xiao said, picked up the bag and ran, just opened the bedroom door and came back: "That, you don't have a date at night, right? Don't order takeout, go out to eat together." ”

It's a small dormitory with only four girls.

When the three girls heard the meal, they hurriedly grabbed Chen Xiao: "It's still early, why don't you wait for us together?"

"Yes, yes, the eldest sister has a car, waiting for us to put on makeup and go over together. ”

Chen Mo took a nap on the plane, and when he woke up, he heard the flight attendant reminding him to fasten his seat belt, and the plane landed immediately.

At Pudong International Airport, Chen Mo didn't see Chen Xiao when he came out of the case, so he called her......

"You just don't move at Gate 16, I'll buy you a plane......"

Chen Mo was at Mouth 5, not far or close to Mouth 16. Really, such an adult, I won't pick up the airport.

Chen Mo dragged his luggage and trotted over, and saw his sister from a distance: "Here." ”

Chen Xiao ran over with a bright smile on his face, hanging on Chen Mo's neck like a sloth, and passers-by who didn't know the situation thought it was a couple who had reunited after a long absence......

"Come down, come down, why are you still the same as a little girl. ”

Chen Xiao made a grimace and glared at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo smiled and pressed her sister's head: "Why hasn't you grown taller?" After a few months, Chen Xiao lost a little weight. Wearing a dress with white gauze and lace, it looks pure and beautiful, like a snowdrop blooming in the mountains. The goose egg face, the cheeks without powder, look delicate and delicate......

Chen Xiao pursed his lips and habitually took Chen Mo's arm: "My classmate is also here, go over and get to know him." ”

Only then did Chen Mo notice the three women behind Chen Xiao.

"Wang Menglin, Luo Fangfang, Zhou Qin. We stayed in a dorm room...... Wang Menglin is the eldest sister, Luo Fangfang is the second sister, Zhou Qin is the third sister, and I am the younger sister. Chen Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, pulling them to introduce them one by one.

"Chen Mo, Chen Xiao's elder brother. Chen Mo nodded his finger on Chen Xiao's head: "She should have introduced me, saying that I am super invincible and handsome." ”

Wang Menglin and the others nodded vigorously and held back a smile. Chen Mo's appearance is really good, but he is dressed and dressed, which is too ordinary. The edges and corners of the cheeks are clear, and at a glance he looks handsome, and he is warm and warm, the kind that looks better the more he looks. If you dress up carefully, it is not bad from the super handsome guy Chen Xiao said.

The funny self-introduction made the three girls have a good impression of Chen Mo, and they left the airport together with a smile.
