Chapter 146 Victor Foundation
After the auction, Tang Yuan and Xiao Yayue summed up their experiences and lessons learned last time. Before many guests at the scene could react, they immediately left the auction site and followed Zhao Yu, vice president of Yanjing Poly Auction House. Lounge settlement fees.

The settlement fee process of Poly International Auction House and Sotheby's Auction House is the same, but the commission calculation method is different. The former gradually increases according to the value of the lot, and the commission rate also increases step by step, while the latter's commission rate is fixed, regardless of the value of the lot. High or low, the commission rate is always 15%.

The hammer price of Tang Yuan's auction of the Emperor Green Dafang brand was 16000 million RMB. According to the commission rate of Poly International Auction House, the final commission price Tang Yuan had to pay was 2400 million RMB.

Such a high commission fee, even with Tang Yuan's current wealth, still inevitably feels a little painful.

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

When Tang Yuan swiped his card to pay, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

However, I feel distressed, and I still have to spend the money, because compared with the huge rewards 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 payment and then took away the imperial green square plaque worth 1.6 million on the spot. Finally, he was escorted by more than a dozen bodyguards. , returned to the Bulgari Hotel in Yanjing as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the news that Yanjing Poly Auction House will auction off an imperial green square plaque tonight for a sky-high price of 1.6 million is spreading at an extremely fast speed, and major auction houses around the world have also received the news immediately. , compared to ordinary people, these auction houses have more comprehensive information, such as the buyer's identity information, which is not a secret at all to them.

In just over a month, a jadeite and Khotan jade ring made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty worth HKD 9000 million and an imperial green square plate worth RMB 16000 million were auctioned successively. This made the world's major auction houses once again pay more attention to Tang Yuan. Soaring. After all, auction houses are not charities and they all hope to make 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 proven his strength with his actual actions. For just two auction items, the jadeite and Khotan jade ring made by the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and the imperial green square plate, Tang Yuan paid a commission of more than 3000 million yuan. It would be strange if the auction house is not greedy.

……

While major auction houses around the world 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, carrying a small portable safe containing an imperial green square sign.

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

In an instant, a flash of extreme emerald green caught Tang Yuan's eyes.

What is Imperial Green?
As the name suggests, the King of Green Jade!
Imperial green, also known as emerald, is the greenest and most valuable of all emeralds.

The color is the most correct!
The most intense color!
At this time, under the illumination of the light, this large imperial green plaque appears emerald green, giving people a dignified and noble beauty.

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

"It looks pretty good."

"It would be better if paired with a Tang suit. After returning to Zhonghai, I can let Fang Rong design and make a few sets of clothes inspired by this imperial green square sign."

Tang Yuan walked to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. He didn't feel any weakness at all. Instead, he looked even more noble and graceful. Just standing there quietly, he could feel a sense of supreme dignity. The feeling came over me.

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

After standing in front of the mirror and admiring it alone for a moment, Tang Yuan turned around and returned to the living room, taking off the imperial green square plaque he was wearing around his neck.

"call……"

Tang Yuan took a deep breath, then stared at the imperial green square card in front of him, and at the same time silently said in his heart: Mission submission.

A few seconds later, many system virtual prompt boxes flashed across Tang Yuan's eyes, the number of which was much greater than any previous system task submission.

……

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

[Congratulations on successfully completing 5 experience tasks]

[Completion Rating: Excellent]

[The big collector system will be unblocked soon]

[Countdown - 119:59:59]

……

After the last of these system virtual prompt boxes popped up, the entire Great Collector system seemed to freeze, leaving only a constant countdown of time.

"Finally to unblock!"

"120 hours, that's five days."

"Can afford to wait!"

Seeing that the Great Collector System was about to unveil its mysterious veil, even with Tang Yuan's Qi-nurturing 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 fifth system experience task was completed.

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

Tang Yuan, as a finance major, naturally has a deep understanding of foundations.

Foundations originated from the American Empire, and their full name is charitable foundations. They were originally established for the purpose of engaging in public welfare undertakings. They began to flourish after the 20th century. Today, the American Empire 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. However, over the long years of evolution, the original intention of most people to establish foundations is no longer to engage in public welfare undertakings, but to For the purpose of tax avoidance.

As we all know, the inheritance tax in the United States is very high, and can even exceed half of the inheritance. Therefore, in order to maximize legal tax avoidance, many wealthy people focus on foundations. They usually establish a foundation themselves first, and then transfer all their assets to it. All assets are donated to this foundation.

In this way, they all become "paupers" in name only. Since there are no assets to inherit, inheritance tax is naturally out of the question.

By simply turning your left hand over your right hand, you can save up to 50% of the inheritance tax out of thin air. Such huge benefits naturally attract countless rich people to flock to it.

In fact, inheritance tax only scratches the surface of how these rich people use foundations to avoid taxes.

The assets donated by these rich people are usually not cash, but the many virtual and physical assets they hold, such as stocks, luxury homes, and luxury goods. Under normal circumstances, if these assets want to be liquidated, they often need to pay high fees. Income Tax.

For example, if a rich man only invests US$10 to establish a company, and the stock is now worth US$10 billion, the result is that as long as the rich man's stock is transferred, it will basically be taxable net income, but after these assets enter the foundation, they will be taxable. Tax-free.In this case, the tax avoidance income obtained by the rich man usually exceeds the charitable expenses he must spend every year. Even if the law requires the foundation's annual charitable expenses to be no less than 5% of the foundation's total assets, the rich man still has Have to earn.

What's more, there is still a lot of room for manipulation in this necessary charity expense. 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 to achieve something in the future. The results can be used either commercially or for personal use.

At the same time, the United States is a private ownership society. The ownership of foundations does not belong to the state, but is still in private hands. Even though some foundations are nominally owned by the whole society, the foundation charter and so on are kept confidential. Everyone is the person who holds an actual position in the foundation, so take the Victor Foundation that Tang Yuan just received. He is not only the chairman, but also the sole beneficiary of the foundation. This makes Tang Yuan own the Victor Foundation. Absolute control, that is to say, the assets worth 150 billion US dollars owned by the Victor Foundation...

All belong to Tang Yuan personally!
