Chapter 162 [This is a successful transaction]
The two brothers can be said to be out of the way, and it is also a knife to stretch out their heads, and it is also a knife to shrink their heads, it is better to hold their chests, and their brains have lost a big scar. Both brothers were determined to die, and smoked the cigars in their hands as if they were smoking cigarettes on the road.
Although it was tragic, he walked so long and quickly, of course, there was no place to park in Times Square, so he could only park on one side. Then the two brothers punched each other as they got out of the car, patted their chests, and resolutely walked into Times Square with the copper scroll.
Behind the big screen in Times Square, there's a top-notch café that's packed every day, surrounded by crowds of tourists. Most of them are foreign tourists, because no one in New York is there, and the reason is that it is not strange that there are too many people and they are crowded, but the places with the most foreign tourists are the safest.
Although Yang Nianzhong was not well prepared, he was careful in choosing this trading location, and he had already called to order a private room yesterday, and of course it took a huge amount of money to get today's trading location.
When he came to the café, he reported his name, and the private room naturally became Yang Nianzhong's private territory, and the brothers sat in the private room and smoked vigorously, and a few minutes later Yang Nianzhong received a call from Griffin, and he came with his boss.
In Yang Nianzhong's impression, when a boss behind the Federal Reserve like Stillman goes out, he must be rushing forward and hugging back, eager to use a tank to open the way. But I didn't expect that people were more low-key than themselves, there were no bodyguards at all, it was Griffin who took a young man about 20 years old, dressed very decently, came to the door of the private room and knocked on the door to meet after the two sides met.
When they met, Yang Nianzhong was a little stupid, when he saw that the other party looked younger than himself, but his personality was very calm, there was no stinky problem of those pompous children, and the language was particularly humorous.
And when we met, there was another joke, and a few words mobilized the tense atmosphere, seeing everyone drinking a cup of coffee, moistening their throats, the young man looked at Yang Nianzhong and said.
"Mr. Yang, I'm very glad you can trust me, choose to be in the café, we didn't say anything about the inspection transaction, as long as the thing is real, I sincerely want to buy, and the amount will no longer be an obstacle and problem for our transaction."
Don't you see that this is the eldest young master of a top wealthy family, showing his courage, money is not an important thing here, and they are poor and have money left. In order to buy the art they like, they do not hesitate to buy it with a lot of money, as long as your buyer offers a price, he dares to buy it immediately, no matter how much money the other party offers.
Griffin on the side looked at Yang Nianzhong and nodded, which meant to tell Yang Nianzhong, don't hide it and take it out, Yang Nianzhong smiled and pulled out a copper scroll from behind John's seat, and then opened it At this time, Griffin also opened the toolbox in his hand, which was full of various instruments.
Don't look at this to trade with yourself, the young master of the Stillman family is a young man, but his vision is definitely at the expert level, who let the art collection of the family go to the sea.
Soaking in the sea of works of art every day, even an idiot can become an expert in identification, and when he takes the Declaration of Independence out of the scroll, the two of them are happy in their hearts, their eyes light up, and they know that it is true.
After opening it, he looked at the handwriting on it, and then Griffin took out his own tools to measure whether the font length and width of this printed version of the Declaration of Independence were the same specifications as the real Declaration of Independence.
There is even a printing mark found on a capital M letter, and the biography presents a triangular ink pen, and the ink of the font is lighter, which is the key to real authenticity.
When it was printed, the printing font of this M letter was missing a small corner, and if you have not seen the real Declaration of Independence, or if you have no knowledge of history. It will never be found that the flaws in this font are the evidence to identify the authenticity of the Declaration of Independence, which is a bit like the characteristics of our Chinese jade seal.
Looking at the two people wearing white cotton gloves and holding the Declaration of Independence, they muttered, nodding and admiring what a good thing, but at this time it was not over Griffin took out a small instrument from his toolbox. Then, with a steel needle, he carefully scraped off the hair-like fiber structure from the Declaration of Independence, stuffed it into the instrument, and carried out the carbon-14 firming.
Good guy is Griffin, he can't get it without hundreds of thousands of dollars, don't look at it, it's really accurate, which makes Yang Nianzhong particularly envious.
When you come to the first set yourself, you will not be fooled when you identify the artwork, and it is not yet a few tens of seconds of carbon-14 measurement, which is completely in line with the time point of the Declaration of Independence.
It's the Declaration of Independence more than 200 years ago, what it didn't say is true, and it's so well preserved. There is actually a number 28 on it, such a number makes the buyer feel very happy, the thing is real, and the people are firm, and the next thing is to negotiate the price.
Yang Nianzhong bit 700 million US dollars, of which 100 million US dollars was a fluctuating price, and he asked for the price to pay back on the spot, but he didn't expect people to be very happy, how much money do you want to give. The 700 million dollar family is out, and the next step is the payment link, at this time, the young master of the Stillman family looked at Yang Nianzhong and said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang's price is fine, we agreed on 700 million US dollars, let's trade now, but the way of trading, are you prepared?"
When Yang Nianzhong heard the other party's words, he was a little stupid that he had already asked for an extra 100 million US dollars, but the other party still didn't pay for the money.
Yang Nianzhong couldn't wait to give himself a few slaps in the face, why not 900 million 1 billion? If you ask for a price of $1 billion, the other party can still pay directly, then you don't make a lot of money.
It's too late to regret it now, the price has been agreed, and now it's about the payment method, because this money is the profit from selling art, if the money is transferred to Yang Nianzhong's account in Citibank, then the IRS will immediately find Yang Nianzhong, bite the meat hard, and get at least 35% tax.
This makes Yang's eyes hurt, but in the United States, you can offend the FBI, but you can't offend the vampires at the IRS, so it doesn't matter who you are, so Yang Nianzhong is embarrassed.
Whether to deposit the money in your own Citibank account, or take a check to cash abroad, or deposit it in a Swiss bank and open an account to avoid income tax.
This is a matter of money, Yang Nianzhong thought about it for a long time and didn't speak for two minutes, but he didn't expect the buyer to speak, seeing Yang Nianzhong frowning and thinking, he said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang, this is considering the issue of income tax, and it is also more than 35% income tax, which is distressing for anyone. I would like to make a suggestion to Mr. Yang, put the money in our Citibank, and we will help you save this money through normal tax avoidance, at least pay 20% personal income tax, you see. ”
