Chapter 608: Trading
Hearing Shi Qiba say that he has a way to help avoid taxes, and even avoid all income taxes, Li Yi couldn't help but be a little curious, 60% to 0%, it's too big to move in the middle, right?
"Actually, you're more than that. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Shi Qiba frowned and decided to simply make everything clear.
"Li, I know that when you were in Huaxia, you successfully traded a few jadeite and even diamonds, but because of the market supervision on your side or other reasons, you may not know very well, there are actually many restrictions in the middle."
"In addition, the main point is that Van Cleef & Arpels, as a large and internationally renowned company, is subject to shareholder oversight of our sourcing channels, which of course does not mean that we exclude the purchase of precious gemstones from private sources, but there is one thing that we must pay attention to, and that is the traceability of these gemstones."
"As far as rough stone is concerned, the easiest thing is to have a certificate of origin issued by a mining company, or a certificate of resale transaction that can prove the origin of the rough stone, so as to ensure that there are no problems."
Li Yi blinked, of course he knew that jewelry transactions like diamonds required proof of origin, but these were not a problem at all in China, and they could be solved by finding two suppliers with good relationships, and he believed that for a company like Van Cleef & Arpels, these would not be a big problem, which was the main reason why he didn't prepare anything and came directly to the door.
It's just that now, Shi Qiba raised this question very solemnly, what did he want to say? Is the price down?
"No, I'm just trying to say that our side may be a little more complicated than yours when it comes to dealing with these kinds of issues......"
Shi Qiba frowned and knocked lightly on the table,
"Well, I won't say much more, if you trust me, give me this batch of gems, and I'll take care of it for you, but it will take time, and maybe a small fee......"
"Need time? How long will it take? How much does it cost? β
"It will take about 3 days, but your gem must stay here during these 3 days, and we can't pay for the goods, and if you use our route, you will need to pay us 20% of the fee."
β20%οΌ That's what you're talking about as a small expense? That's a bit small! β
Shi Qiba smiled and shook his head,
"No, no, you understand wrong, I don't plan to charge you that small fee, this 20% is the cost of helping you avoid taxes. In other words, you only need to reduce the transaction price by 20%, and I guarantee that the funds that go to your account are absolutely legitimate income. β
"That's ......"
Li Yi rubbed his chin silently, thinking in his heart, although this proportion is higher than the taxes and fees he paid in the domestic exchange, but in general, the money he got in the end should be about the same, because more than 90% of the valuation given by Wang Haoqing may be lower than the valuation of 20 million euros here, and it will trouble him to avoid taxes, so it is better to deal with it here.
As for saying that he wanted to keep these gems here for 3 days, he was not worried about this at all, such a large amount, even if it was a black commodity without a certificate of origin, it was not someone who dared to swallow it if he wanted to, and he was hesitating now whether to take out the two large rubies and trade them.
After pondering for a while, Li Yi made up his mind, reached out and took out the 33-carat pigeon's blood ruby rough from his pocket. In order to avoid controversy, the 112-carat piece, he was going to go back and cut it twice and then take it out for trading.
"Mr. Shi, since you are so sincere, then, please help me take a look at this."
"Oh? Dare to love you, kid is still afraid that I will cheat you, and you still have a hidden hand! β
Shi Qiba smiled and picked up the rough stone, and after just one look, his eyes almost jumped out of his sockets.
"This ...... Is this a pigeon's blood ruby? Are you sure? β
Seeing Li Yi nodding, he took a deep breath,
"Wait a minute, I'll call Dennis right over."
He picked up the phone, dialed a number with trembling fingers, and after a while, Dennis, who had just met Li Yi, hurriedly walked into the room.
Compared to Shi Qiba, Dennis's expression is much calmer, but if you pay attention, you can see the corners of his eyes twitching uncontrollably, this rough ruby is bigger than the one they took back from Hong Kong last time, and most importantly, the quality seems to be even better!
"Mr. Li, I need a little bit of time......"
Li Yi nodded, took a sip of the coffee on the table, this rough stone, not only will the inspection time be longer, but the time for pricing may be longer later, and if he took out the 112-carat piece, it is estimated that it will take several days just to inspect.
After about ten minutes, Dennis finished reading, he first muttered for a moment, and then asked:
"Mr. Li, if you want to sell this rough stone, what price do you want to sell it for?"
"Hehe, Mr. Dennis, you are an expert in this area, how much do you think it should be worth?"
The corners of Dennis's eyes jumped, and he turned his head and whispered a few words to Shi Qiba, and then Shi Qiba said hello to Li Yi, picked up his mobile phone and walked out of the room.
Half an hour later, a white-haired old man walked into the room with Shi Qiba, and Shi Qiba didn't introduce Li Yi, but he didn't need to think about it to know that this person's identity was definitely above him and Dennis.
"30 million euros, Mr. Li, you should know that this ruby is not the same as the ones you took out before, and the previous ones have a good proof of origin, but this level of treasure is different."
"Really? What if I can get a certificate of origin? β
"You can't do it in China, generally speaking, this level of treasure should cause a sensation when it is mined, if there is no relevant record, things will be very difficult, so this price can not be higher, you know, we are taking a lot more risk than you......"
Seeing that Li Yi frowned and didn't speak, Shi Qiba laughed twice,
"Alright, Lee, you probably didn't know that we almost gave up this ruby just now. And even if you have all the formalities, if you go to auction, you may not get so much in the end. Well, I'll give you a little gift, and the diamond you commissioned us to work on is free! β
The two sides discussed for a while, and in the end, the old man made a concession, the price remained the same, but the money could be settled first, and it was connected to the 20 million yuan just now.
After receiving the signed agreement from Li Yi's hand, Shi Qiba stood up with satisfaction,
"Li, what are your next arrangements? If time is not too tight, I would like to invite you to a salon tomorrow afternoon, you should be very interested! β
"Oh? Hot? (To be continued.) )
