Zhu Huanlin has not been discharged from the hospital, and Yang Peiqi has already set off for the United States.

There are no direct flights from Jiangzhou to the United States, so Yang Peiqi first flew from Jiangzhou to the capital, and then met with the person from Sotheby's auction house, who was the manager James who met last time in Jiangzhou, and the two flew to the United States together.

After more than a dozen hours of flight, the plane finally landed in Los Angeles.

Yang Peiqi originally planned to go directly to New York, but the flight was to depart in the evening, and he was in a hurry, so instead of staying in a hotel all day and not being able to go out, he simply flew to the West Coast first.

The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, and Yang and James walked out of the airport building with their luggage. In the morning, the weather was clear, and there was a blue sky and white clouds at a glance, and the air was so good that he was a little uncomfortable.

At this time, he heard James next to him frowning and saying, "The air in Los Angeles is not very good." ”

Yang Peiqi almost sat down on the ground, Nima, this thing must be high-grade black!

Due to the tight schedule, Yang Peiqi stayed in a hotel near the airport, and had dinner with James later, originally wanting to see Los Angeles, but there are no good places near the airport, and you have to take a car to leave. In addition, shopping with a man can easily be mistaken for gay in the United States.

In the afternoon, the two flew from the West Coast to the East Coast and landed at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

When the two of them came out of the passageway, they saw a man holding a sign with James's English name written on it. James hurriedly stepped forward, and Yang Peiqi followed.

The other party is a white man in his thirties and forties, with black hair, a little taller than Yang Peiqi, he should be at one meter eighty-eight, he wore a sky blue suit with a good texture, just used a small sterling silver collar clip, and a black silk tie, which is suitable to show the most luxurious temperament of a family, which has experienced I don't know how many generations of historical precipitation.

Such an aristocratic man, his skin was of course white, but the edges and corners of his face were as clear as a knife and axe, two thick and heavy, and the oblique upward protrusion brought out a sword-sharp eyebrow, and under the eyebrows, there was a pair of slightly sunken sockets. In the eyes as bright as amber, there is obviously a kind of naïve and thorough, but there are a few wisps of epiphany of the world that paradoxically, smiling at the red dust.

He had a kind and harmless smile on his face, as if he longed to be able to gain the friendship and trust of others, but the arrogance and nobility that had been precipitated for a long time had carved the deepest marks in his bones, but everyone couldn't help but feel a kind of self-shame in their hearts, and subconsciously kept a considerable distance from him.

The man shook hands with Yang Peiqi and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang!" ”

"Hello!" Yang Peiqi also said.

James introduced: "Mr. Yang, this is my boss, John Sotheby's, who is here to pick you up personally. ”

Yang Peiqi was shocked, surnamed Sotheby's? This is the surname of the big boss of Sotheby's. Then, the middle-aged man in front of him, even if he is not the boss of Sotheby's, is also a member of the Sotheby's family.

John smiled and said, "Yang helped me earn more than three million dollars, maybe when he can continue to bring me millions, I have to watch you!" ”

Yang Peiqi smiled speechlessly, foreigners are really realistic.

According to Sotheby's auction house's estimate of Yang Peiqi's three paintings, the price of the two Zhao Mengfu paintings should be between 1,500 and 20 million US dollars, and the value of Tang Bohu's Spring Palace is about the same as the total price of the two Zhao Mengfu paintings, which is also in the form of 20 million US dollars. In other words, the total value of these three paintings will definitely exceed 30 million US dollars. According to the 10% commission agreed by the two parties, Yang Peiqi's three paintings did bring more than 3 million yuan to Sotheby's auction house.

However, for John's words, Yang Peiqi was quite moved. With Explorer 8, he will definitely get a lot of treasures in the future, and Sotheby's, as the world's leading auction house, is indeed a good partner to work with.

However, Yang Peiqi did not say anything at this moment. He wasn't familiar with this John, so it was better not to reveal any news yet.

"Please!" John motioned for them to go together.

There was a black extended Lincoln parked in the airport parking lot, James helped Yang Peiqi put away the luggage, and then sat in the co-pilot's seat, John and Yang Peiqi sat in the back row, chatting in English, as a high-achieving student who graduated from Huaxia University of Science and Technology, or doing scientific research, he usually has a lot of time to contact English at work, so Yang Peiqi's English is good, at least there is no problem in communication.

Soon, the two talked about the auction.

John glanced at Yang Peiqi with some emotion and said, "Yang, with a huge tax of more than 10 million US dollars, are you ready to deal with those people in the tax bureau?" ”

"It's ruthless!" Yang Peiqi shuddered in her heart, Nima is too cheating, almost half of the money is cheaper than the US government, no wonder Americans agree that the IRS is more fierce than the FBI.

"Maybe I should give you a good idea." John said with a smile.

Yang Peiqi was happy in her heart, she was able to drill the leak of American law and get some more money, Yang Peiqi was naturally 100,000 willing, so she nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

"If you just want to get a sum of money here, travel and go back to China, then this tax is paid. If you stay here, do investment, consumption, buy real estate, etc., in April next year, I believe that the tax bureau will deduct a lot of deductions from your personal income tax. John said.

Yang Peiqi shook her head and said, "It's unlikely, I won't stay in the United States for so long." Are there any other solutions? ”

It is indeed impossible for Yang Peiqi to stay in the United States for such a long time, he just came to travel and relax, and did not plan to stay for a long time or even emigrate.

John thought for a moment and said, "Then we can only do offshore payments." ”

Yang Peiqi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Offshore payment?" How so? ”

At that moment, John talked to Yang Peiqi about offshore payment. In fact, it is very simple, it is to pay with an offshore account.

Offshore accounts, also known as OSA accounts, are accounts opened by overseas institutions in the offshore business department of a domestic bank that has obtained offshore banking business qualifications in accordance with the law, and are overseas accounts. From the perspective of capital security, offshore accounts are safer, less strictly supervised by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, have the advantages of free fund allocation, unlimited deposit interest rates and varieties, exemption from deposit interest tax, and improved the comprehensive operation efficiency of domestic and foreign funds, domestic control, and overseas operation.

After learning about the characteristics of offshore payments and offshore accounts, Yang Peiqi also thinks that this method is very good, and it can exempt a large part of the tax. However, there is a very important problem with this, that is, offshore accounts are only for corporate accounts, and individual account openings are not supported.

In other words, if Yang Peiqi wants to choose offshore payment, he will have to set up a company.

However, Yang Peiqi did not hesitate for too long, and quickly made a decision to choose offshore payment.

What is a small hassle compared to a large tax payment?

The most important thing is that John said that he could arrange someone to help Yang Peiqi set up an offshore company. In other words, the establishment of the company will not cause much trouble to Yang Peiqi, after all, it is just an offshore company with an empty shell.

But in any case, it takes some time to set up an offshore company, and Yang Peiqi understands this very well.

Moreover, the Sotheby's auction is still in preparation, and it will take some time before it will be officially held. Therefore, Yang Peiqi decided to travel to some of the more famous places in the United States first. He went abroad this time, in addition to watching the auction organized by Sotheby's, but also to distract himself.
