130. Hammer

After the auction ended, the rich signed the check and took away their collections.

However, Wang Bo cannot get the money yet. This money needs to be passed through the tax bureau account and calculated the taxes before entering his hands.

However, Lao Wang benefited from it, so he would not have to pay much taxes because he invested in a large number of small town public infrastructure, which could be tax-deductible.

For example, the last auction of "Holy Poetry" was more than 20 million. The tax he had to pay was as high as 4 million, but in the end he only had to pay less than one million. This is unimaginable, but it is legal and compliant: the investment and construction of a third-class highway alone would offset those taxes and fees.

Therefore, Lao Wang is very optimistic about this. The investment in the town is carried out in his private name. Although the Sunset Township has been changed to Sunset Town, it is actually not much different from his territory, so it is better to use it to deduct taxes.

After Christie's received all the finances, Adams immediately gave him an answer to the gains of this time:

The legendary pocket watch sold the highest 38 million yuan, the full set of Indian-style jewelry sold 16 million yuan, the two gold statues sold 28 million yuan, the three silver statues sold 12 million yuan, the jade snuff bottle sold 2.5 million yuan, the red sandalwood cane sold 1.5 million yuan, and two ivory pistols once from the chairman's family of the East India Company were sold at a high price of 4 million yuan.

Japanese bone porcelain gave Wang Bo a surprise and actually sold it for 5.5 million yuan, which was far higher than the 2 million yuan estimation given by Adams and Lyle.

In other words, together, the castle antiques sold in this special auction for a high price of 107.5 million!

Exceeding expectations!

Although Adams originally called Wang Bo the youngest billionaire, he was just a name, just like a person who earns 800,000 yuan a year could introduce himself to earn one million yuan a year.

According to the estimates of Christie's treasure appraisal experts, these treasures are worth about 90 million yuan in total, but the final auction price is 15 percentage points higher.

However, this can only be said to be unexpected. In a reasonable way, it is difficult to estimate the final transaction price of the auction, because these things are too expensive, and if the price of one or two of them fluctuates, the valuation will be in vain.

In fact, it is common for 20% or even higher price fluctuations at the world's top auctions. If you encounter a winning situation, the price of an item can float several times!

Adams shook hands with Wang Bo and said enthusiastically: "Congratulations, young billionaire, I think today's auction will surely survive in my memory for a long time. It's a pleasure to witness the birth of a billionaire."

Lao Wang laughed in a low-key manner, 100 million dollars. If he didn't develop a small town and went back to his hometown to be a rich man, he would never spend so much money in his life, even if he wouldn't buy a young model every day and eat sea cucumbers.

Unfortunately, he really wanted to build a top town. Besides, he couldn't let go of his territory now. Without the territory, he could provide lord energy. Then when the energy was exhausted, what would the lord's heart become?

Adams asked Wang Bo how he planned to use the money: "If you want to find a place to take a vacation or have fun, I think I can give you some ideas."

Lao Wang thanked him, then shook his head and said, "No, man, I am a mayor. My town is still under construction. I don't have the opportunity to have fun yet."

After a pause, he said, "Aside, is 100 million dollars a lot? As far as I know, it takes more than 500 million dollars to build this section of Highway 8 that passes through our town!"

This is what he said in his heart. Is 100 million dollars a lot? If you put it into construction, you can't even build the prototype of the town.

Of course, the prototype of the town he mentioned is the prototype of the world's top town. It doesn't cost so much money to build an ordinary town.

Adams admires Wang Bo's attitude towards money, rationality, open-mindedness and calmness.

As an executive of a world-class auction company, he has seen many cases of getting rich overnight. Many ordinary people become rich because of a family-owned antique or a treasure he obtained by chance.

Then, these people often find it difficult to withstand the pressure of getting rich, start spending money wildly, and become poor again after a period of squandering.

He has seen many such people, especially young people. Wang Bo is different from these people and has the calmness that young people rarely have.

Confidence, huge sums, calmness, ambition, and the sense of responsibility he saw in Wang Bo, so Adams became interested in Wang Bo. He thought for a while and said, "Hi, man, are you interested in joining the Free Route? I can be your recommended person."

Wang Bo did not understand the Free Route Club yet, so he tactfully declined.

Adams is a human spirit. He understood Wang Bo’s idea and patted him on the shoulder and said, “You can go and learn about this club. If you are willing to change your mind, you can find me at any time.”

The auction is over, but Adams still has a lot to do. First, he has to arrange his subordinates to organize the auction records and keep the entrusted auction contract, auction announcements, auction instructions, special regulations, lot catalogs, transaction confirmation letters, auction records and other auction materials in accordance with regulations.

Secondly, he also needs to archive the bidder's information and send it to the headquarters database for filing for a period of more than ten years.

Finally and most importantly, he must confirm with the finance department that the capital flow security of the auction, calculate the income, handling fees and commissions, and settle with the antique owners.

Christie's prepared a dinner at the castle, but not many people left for dinner.

Half of the people left the castle after the auction. Most of the remaining half flew to Queenstown, where they rested for a night, leaving, and in the end, only more than a dozen rich men were left.

Adams had long expected that when preparing for the dinner, it would be arranged according to the standard of thirty people.

Wang Bo sighed: "You are really a magical plan."

Adams smiled bitterly and said, "I really wish I had calculated it wrong. Do you know why they left? Because my energy and connections are not enough to support such a party."

Wang Bo asked strangely: "What does it mean?"

Charlie next to him explained to him: "There are some special meetings in these wealthy circles. If you want to invite these people to a private party, it will take a lot of face."

In this way, Old Wang understood, that is, Adams' face was not as good as inviting so many wealthy people to stay and join his party.
