Chapter 144: The Victor Foundation

After the auction, Tang Yuan and Xiao Yayue summed up the lessons learned from the last time, and left the auction site as soon as possible while many guests at the scene had not yet reacted, and followed Zhao Yu, vice president of Yanjing Poly Auction House, to the VIP room to settle the expenses.

Poly International and Sotheby's have the same settlement fee process, but the commission rate is different, with the former increasing the commission rate gradually increasing according to the value of the lot, while the latter has a fixed commission rate of 15% regardless of the value of the lot.

Tang Yuan's hammer price for the Imperial Green Dafang brand was 160 million RMB, and according to the commission rate of Poly International Auction House, the final price that Tang Yuan needed to pay the commission was 24 million.

With such a high commission fee, even with Tang Yuan's current net worth, he still can't help but feel a little painful.

"No wonder these auction houses see me, it's like a son meets his father, it's so easy to make money......"

When Tang Yuan paid by card, he couldn't help but feel a little slanderous in his heart.

However, this money should be spent, because compared to the huge return that can be obtained by completing the system tasks, this commission fee is insignificant.

With the meticulous service of many staff members of Yanjing Poly Auction House, Tang Yuan quickly settled the money, and then took the imperial green plaque worth 160 million yuan on the spot, and finally returned to the Yanjing Bulgari Hotel as soon as possible under the escort of more than a dozen bodyguards.

At the same time, the news that Yanjing Poly Auction House auctioned a piece of imperial green square card for 160 million yuan tonight is spreading at a very fast speed, and the world's major auction houses have also received the news at the first time.

In just over a month, he has auctioned 90 million Hong Kong dollars worth of Qing Qianlong imperial jade and Khotanese jade wrench fingers and 160 million RMB worth of imperial green square cards, which makes the world's major auction houses pay attention to Tang Yuan soared again, after all, auction houses are not charities, they are counting on making money.

At this moment, in the eyes of many auction houses, Tang Yuan is the incarnation of the God of Wealth.

Because Tang Yuan has proved his strength with his actual actions, only the two lots of Qing Qianlong Imperial Jade and Khotanese Jade Wrench and Emperor Green Dafang Pai, Tang Yuan has paid a commission of more than 30 million, and it is strange that the major auction houses are not greedy.

……

Just when the world's major auction houses were thinking about how to win over Tang Yuan, a big customer, Tang Yuan had already returned to the selected suite of the Bulgari Hotel in Yanjing with a small handheld safe containing the imperial green square card.

He walked straight to the living room, took off his jacket, threw it on the sofa, and eagerly opened the small hand-held safe.

Suddenly, a touch of extreme emerald green came into Tang Yuan's eyes.

What is Imperial Green?

As the name suggests, the Emperor of Green Jade!

Imperial green, also known as emerald, is the best and most valuable green of all jadeite.

The color is the most positive!

The color is the strongest!

At this time, under the illumination of the light, this imperial green square card is emerald green, emerald green, giving people a dignified and noble beauty.

Tang Yuan pinched the rope in his left hand and held the imperial green square card in his right hand, took it out of the small portable safe, and then put it on his neck.

"Looks pretty good."

"It should be better if it is paired with Tang costumes, and when I return to Zhonghai, I can let Fang Rong design and make a few sets of clothes inspired by this imperial green square card."

Tang Yuan walked to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror, he didn't feel any sense of weakness at all, but instead looked like he was more noble and graceful, just standing there quietly, he could feel a sense of supreme nobility coming to his face.

If it is paired with new Chinese clothing, it will complement each other even more.

After standing in front of the mirror and admiring alone for a while, Tang Yuan turned around and returned to the living room and took off the imperial green square card worn around his neck.

"Hoo ......"

Tang Yuan took a deep breath, then stared at the Emperor Green Square in front of him, and at the same time silently said in his heart: Task submission.

After a few seconds, many system virtual prompts passed in front of Tang Yuan's eyes, and the number was much more than any previous submission of a system task.

[Congratulations on successfully completing the experience task 5/5: Collect 1 Emerald Card]

……

Many system virtual prompt boxes popped up one after another, just after Tang Yuan just finished reading carefully, before Tang Yuan could take a breath, many system virtual prompt boxes popped up.

[Congratulations on successfully completing 5 experience missions]

[Completion Evaluation: Excellent]

[The big collector system is about to be unblocked]

[Countdown - 119:59:59]

……

After the last virtual prompt box pops up, the entire Great Collector system seems to freeze, and only the time left is constantly counting.

"It's finally going to be unblocked!"

"120 hours, that's five days."

"I can afford to wait!"

Seeing that the Great Collector System was about to unravel its mystery, even with Tang Yuan's Qi cultivation skills, it was still difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.

After the excitement, Tang Yuan began to study the rewards issued by the system after the completion of the fifth system experience task.

According to the usual practice, the rewards given for completing the system experience tasks are usually composed of cash and items, but this time the system rewards have undergone some changes, in the past, they were cash rewards directly on Tang Yuan's bank account, and this time Tang Yuan was directly given an overseas foundation.

As a finance student, Tang Yuan naturally has a deep understanding of the foundation.

The foundation originated from the United States imperialism, the full name of the charitable foundation, was originally established for the purpose of engaging in public welfare, after the 20th century began to flourish, today, the United States has the largest number of foundations in the world.

It is undeniable that the existence of these foundations has indeed greatly promoted the development of global philanthropy, but under the evolution of the long years, the original intention of the vast majority of people to establish foundations is no longer to engage in public welfare, but to avoid taxes.

As we all know, the inheritance tax of US imperialism is very high, and it can even exceed half of the inheritance, so in order to avoid taxes legally to the greatest extent, many wealthy people are eyeing foundations, and they usually set up a foundation by themselves first, and then donate all their assets to this foundation.

In this way, they all become nominally "paupers", and since there are no assets to inherit, there is naturally no way to talk about inheritance tax.

A simple left-handed hand-to-right hand can save up to 50% of the inheritance tax out of thin air, and such a huge benefit naturally attracts countless wealthy people.

In fact, inheritance tax is only a fraction of what these wealthy people use to avoid taxes by foundations.

The assets donated by these wealthy people are usually not cash, but their virtual and physical assets such as stocks, luxury houses, luxury goods, etc., which under normal circumstances, if they want to be realized, they often need to pay high income tax.

If a wealthy person may have invested only $100,000 in a company, and now the stock is worth $1 billion, the result is that as long as the rich person's stock is transferred, it is basically taxable net income, and these assets are tax-free after entering the foundation. In this case, the tax avoidance income received by the rich man usually exceeds the amount of charitable expenses he has to spend each year, even though the law requires that the foundation's annual charitable expenditure must not be less than 5% of the foundation's total assets.

What's more, there is still a lot of room for manipulation of this charity expense that must be spent, and the rich can donate this money to various prestigious schools to pave the way for their future children, or they can invest this money in medical research, and there will be results in the future, whether it is for commercial use or personal use.

At the same time, the United States imperialism is a private ownership society, and the ownership of the foundation does not belong to the state, but is still in private hands, even if some foundations are nominally owned by the whole society, but the articles of association of the foundation and so on are kept secret, and the actual owner of the foundation is the person who holds the actual position in the foundation, so take the Victor Foundation that Tang Yuan just obtained, he is not only the chairman, but also the sole beneficiary of the foundation, which makes Tang Yuan have absolute control over the Victor Foundation. In other words, the Victor Foundation has assets worth $15 billion......

All owned by Tang Yuan personally!
