Chapter 15: Parting

On TV, the auction began. Li Ye saw that the person presiding over the auction was wearing a pair of white gloves, and asked Wilson to find out that this meant that none of the auctions presided over by this person were unsold.

"It looks like Christie's is taking this auction very seriously!" Wilson concluded.

The first thing to do was those worthless oil paintings, and looking at the people inside with a price of 230,000 yuan, Li Ye was a little anxious.

Fortunately, the final transaction price made Li Ye very happy, 540,000 US dollars, 90,000 US dollars higher than Christie's expected 450,000 US dollars.

The atmosphere at the scene was very warm, at least Li Ye looked very enthusiastic from the screen.

Especially as time went by, when the painting called "The Withered Heart of the Crow" appeared, Li Ye looked at the price of one million and one million on it, and his face was shocked.

The painting, which Li Ye couldn't understand, was finally sold for 16 million US dollars.

"Made, these people really don't understand what they think. Li Ye muttered.

"yes, these people really don't understand. Wilson happily chimed in.

The painting that Li Ye gave him was sold for 1.6 million US dollars, and he could also get more than 1.4 million US dollars after deducting taxes.

In addition, this is a private gift from Li Ye, so he only needs to report the source of the money.

As for the suspicion that he took bribes? Excuse me, you have to have proof. Otherwise, I will sue you for slander.

Wilson thought about going back in the past few days, his eyes glanced at Li Ye, and saw that he was watching TV intently, thinking about how to tell him.

When the "Sunflower" was slapped by a Russian tyrant for 93 million US dollars on TV, Li Ye muttered again with a smile on his face: "What do these people think?"

This price was within Li Ye's expectations, after all, the "Sunflowers" thirty years ago were sold at a price reduction of 40 million US dollars.

Thirty years later, more than doubling the price will make sense. Li Ye also found that Christie's chicken thief invited RB people to come, after all, the painting three years ago was bought by RB people.

These RB people at the scene were very fierce, and they didn't stop until they were 70 million US dollars. The rest is the Russian tyrant and the British and French tyrants. It's better to be beheaded by that Russian tyrant.

Li Ye calculated the accounts and found that except for a few of his oil paintings, most of them were at a premium, and this auction actually brought him more than 170 million yuan.

"I'm Cao, I'm going back to see if the old man Polkata is leaving any treasures? Just come a few more times, don't ask for too much. Li Ye looked at Mark on the screen and announced the end of the auction, thinking wildly in his mind.

After deducting taxes or something, Li Ye has an estimated 150 million yuan, and the barrister named Charlie is also looking for tax avoidance.

When Li Ye handed over a check directly, the barrister smiled and said that the matter was on him.

The money was deposited in the black card in his hand, and Li Ye was not embarrassed to say that there was no money in the card.

Under the leadership of Wilson, after Li Ye paid off the debt of 32 million US dollars, he took his sister and Wilson to find a three-star Michelin hotel.

It still depends on Li Ye's black card to book a place so quickly. This is the first time Li Ye has used the rights and interests of a black card.

Dialing the exclusive contact number given by Yuntong, Li Ye told the other party that he wanted to eat at this Michelin French restaurant now, but he couldn't book a place.

The other party asked him to wait for a while, and in less than five minutes, Li Ye heard it when he received the call.

The letter was suspicious and walked in with the two of them, and after reporting their names and mobile phone numbers, the other party really received them.

Three people and a bird sat at a table.

"Ahem, I said, Lao Wei, shouldn't this be your treat? After all, you picked up more than a million. ”

Li Ye looked at the menu in his hand and had a toothache. Looking up at Wilson across from him.

Seeing that he ignored him, Li Ye turned his head to look at his sister.

"Xinran, why don't you have a treat today?"

"But I don't have any money!" The little girl was a bachelor, and took out her wallet directly.

"It's simple. ”

After Li Ye finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and gave a call to the contact person of Yuntong just now.

In less than half an hour, a young man in formal clothes walked in, and after seeing Li Ye, he walked over quickly.

"Mr. Li, this is the card you wanted. The young man handed over a card with both hands, and Li Ye quickly put down the knife and fork and took it. Seeing that he was leaving, Li Ye called out to him and took out two beautiful knives from his pocket.

"It's a tip, sorry for your trouble. Li Ye said politely.

Seeing the young man from the United States walking out of the door, Li Ye sat down. As soon as I sat down, I heard Wilson smashing his mouth there: "I didn't expect Mr. Li to tip 200 US dollars now." What a tyrant!"

"Local tyrants generally give a stack of money. ”

"That's not a tyrant, it's a turtle!" you see from that!" Wilson asked curiously.

"Isn't that the case with Dubai's tycoons? You see, after the man who went there to beg met a local tyrant, the local tyrant directly gave him a Lamborghini. Li Ye took out his mobile phone and showed him the news he had seen before.

Wilson glanced at him and pouted, "Whoever believes Shabi." As he spoke, he cut a knife of steak meat and ate it.

"When are you leaving?" asked Li Ye. The money was also returned, and Li Ye also showed signs of not returning to the United States, and Wilson's mission was obviously a failure.

"Something else tomorrow!" Wilson said vaguely.

"Huh?" Li Ye looked at him in surprise.

"No way, I've already received an order, saying that I am receiving a certain crown prince!" Wilson looked up and shook his head with a wry smile, and then explained.

When Li Ye heard this, he looked at him with sympathy.

It turned out that Wilson had gone back a few days ago to report on the progress of the matter, and it was clear that the mission had failed. The above directly asked him to hand over this matter and deal with another matter. Fortunately, he didn't forget to prepare the picture that Li Ye gave him, and he didn't say anything after knowing it.

"So this is a farewell meal?" asked Li Ye.

Seeing him nodding, Li Ye was a little painful, he had stayed with Wilson for so long, not to mention that the two had become good friends, at least they were already familiar with each other, and they were a little reluctant to leave suddenly. After all, it is not easy to meet a crooked person who is familiar with Chinese culture abroad.

"One more thing, you've already transferred this to another department, so man, you need to be careful. Wilson said, gesturing on the table. The reason why he came to say goodbye was to remind him, after all, he also received more than a million US dollars, didn't he?

Li Ye's eyes shrank when he saw it.

Military!

The two sides were silent for a while, taking small bites of the food on the plate, and Li Ye suddenly asked: "How about you come to me? I plan to set up a company to develop Vieques Island." ”

Li Ye tried to win him over. Wilson didn't answer immediately, but after thinking for a while, he asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm sent by the United States?"

"That's nothing, just let them know what I'm doing?" Li Ye said with a nonchalant expression.

Hearing this, Wilson was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then shook his head, but did not agree.
