Chapter 10 Auctions and Immigration

No one knows what Su Zhen and Liu Ru talked about that day, but in the end Liu Ru agreed to Su Zhen's decision to immigrate.

Although it was decided to prepare for immigration, but immigration is not a matter of talk, the first thing to solve is the problem of money, although Su Zhen wrote two novels in the past year and handed them to Liu Shihua for publication, and made millions of dollars, but these money are all in the name of Liu Shihua, although Liu Shihua does not mind, but Su Zhen does not plan to use it, and millions may be a huge amount of money in China in 97, but it is far from enough to immigrate to the United States. So after Su Zhen persuaded his mother, he found his grandfather and Liu Jun.

When Su Zhen took out a piece of Lang Shining's "Hai Dongqing" and a piece of Qing Yongzheng imperial porcelain from the bag he brought in front of Liu Jun and his grandfather to entrust Liu Jun to auction, Liu Jun and his grandfather's eyes widened.

When the two heard that Su Zhen and Liu Ru decided to immigrate to the United States, they also roughly understood what was going on, although they were reluctant in their hearts, but it might be better for Liu Ru to change the environment.

The last few directors discussed and decided to hand over the two items to Liu Jun and entrust Sotheby's to auction them.

Half a month later, Liu Ru, accompanied by Su Zhenliu's poems and paintings and Liu Jun, was invited to participate in the auction of Sotheby's auction house as the owner of the lot.

Sotheby's auction house, can be said to be the oldest auction house in the world, it originated in 1744 in the British book fair, after that, auction as an intermediary, as a profession appeared for the first time in the world, thus giving birth to the first auction house in the world, after more than 200 years of development, Sotheby's is still the largest auction company in the world, it has offices in more than 40 countries in the world, and holds more than 200 auctions in auction halls around the world every year. More than 70 auction varieties are covered.

After some competition, Lang Shining's painting was sold for £21 million and bought by an Italian collector. The Qing Yongzheng Emperor's blue and white dragon wearing pattern skimming was bought by a Chinese collector at a price of 34.5 million.

At that time, Su Zhen and several people were sitting in the reception room of the auction house, and several people were very excited, and soon a middle-aged white man who was obviously a senior executive of the auction house entered the reception room accompanied by the service staff.

"Hello, Ms. Liu! I'm Richard, the manager of Sotheby's Hong Kong office. Nice to meet you". Although the things were taken out by Su Zhen, after all, Su Zhen was only seven years old, so the two items were auctioned in the name of Liu Ru. The auction house is naturally dominated by Liu Ru. "Thank you for your trust in our auction house, the auction was a great success, and the final price of your two lots was £55.5 million, less 10% of the transaction fee, a total of £50 million, have you figured out where to deposit the money?" Richard asked.

"I already have a Citibank account, you can transfer it directly" Liu Ru suppressed her excitement, Su Zhen and Liu Jun, Liu Shihua was also excited, Su Zhen took Liu Ru and Liu Shihua to Citibank as early as the first day of coming to Hong Kong, although Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC in Hong Kong are more famous, but they are going to immigrate to the United States, then Citibank is undoubtedly the best choice.

"That's a pity, I wanted to recommend HSBC to you, but now it doesn't seem to be needed," Richard replied with a smile.

After leaving Sotheby's and returning to the hotel where he stayed, several people were still unable to come back to their senses in the huge stimulation, Su Zhen is now full of soft sister coins, 50 million pounds, according to the current exchange rate, the equivalent of the name of the currency is 600 million, converted into more than 70 million US dollars, from now on we are also billionaires, and this is Hong Kong, this money does not need to be taxed.

Liu Ru felt like she was in a dream, and the ups and downs of the past few months made her feel like a dream, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Su Zhen, looking at Su Zhen's smirk, and involuntarily reached out and pinched her son's face.

"Oh, Mom, why are you pinching me" Su Zhen exclaimed miserably.

"Hehe, just to see if I'm dreaming" Liu Ru looked at her screaming son and smiled happily.

"Of course you are not dreaming, you will be a billionaire woman in the future, we will be the second generation of rich" Although I was inexplicably "bullied" by my mother once, but when I saw my mother's happy smile from the heart, the little depression in my heart disappeared.

"Yes, Xiao Zhen is right, Xiao Ru, you are a rich man, and when you come to the capitalist world in the United States in the future, don't forget my brother and me, a poor middle peasant" Liu Jun was relieved to see that his sister finally came out of the shadow of feelings, and laughed.

Liu Shihua looked at Su Zhen's eyes full of little stars, thinking that his younger brother didn't know how many secrets there were in the Dao, and he would dig them all out one by one in the future.

A few days later, several people returned to Hangzhou, because tens of millions of dollars of funds were deposited into Citibank, so of course Liu Ru became a VIP customer of Citibank, when I heard that Liu Ru wanted to invest in immigration to the United States, the bank manager took the initiative to say that all the procedures Citibank can handle on behalf of you, and arranged a separate account manager to serve Liu Ru, that is to say, when Liu Ru and Su Zhen arrived in the United States, as long as they went to the immigration bureau to chat, show a certificate of deposit, you can get a green card, Once you have confirmed that you are investing in the United States, you can apply for citizenship. At the same time, Citibank also said that all investment, insurance, wealth management and other businesses can be entrusted to them to operate.

This can't help but make Liu Ru and the others really feel the charm of money.

In mid-September, Liu Ru dealt with all the things in the house, and transferred the house to her grandfather's name at Su Zhen's suggestion, after all, although the house is only worth hundreds of thousands now, it will skyrocket in a few years, and it is better to sell it cheaply and keep it for the second elder for the elderly, although the second elder does not care about these, but it can be regarded as the filial piety of his daughter.

At the same time, during this time, Liu Ru also picked up the English that she hadn't been exposed to for several years, and finally Liu Ru was also an honor student in college in the early years, although she hadn't been in contact with it for several years, but the foundation was still there, through Su Zhen and Liu Shihua's bad supplements, not to mention proficient, but there was no big problem with ordinary daily communication.

At the end of the month, Liu Ru took Su Zhen to board the plane to the United States, accompanied by Liu Shihua, after Su Zhen's persuasion, although the aunt still strongly opposed her daughter's departure, but under Liu Shihua's insistence and Liu Jun's compromise, she finally reluctantly agreed to the decision to study in the United States.

Before boarding, the three of them looked back at the motherland, although several people went abroad in the eyes of outsiders, but after all, they inevitably had nostalgia for their motherland, and under the persuasion and urging of Su Zhen, the three of them boarded the plane.

Before the plane took off, Su Zhen forgot about the window, not knowing what kind of situation it would be when he came back next time.
